I slumped my way to the door, forgetting about dinner. Sure enough, as soon as I open up the door, Leonardo was standing there.
"Oh, hello again, Leonardo." I greeted. He smiled.
"Hi. And you can call me Leo, I'm fine with that." He nodded.
"Okay. Leo, where are all the Black Spell captains? It seems that Yuni and I are the only ones here." I spread my arms, presenting the empty room with just Yuni and I in it.
"Umm…" He put his finger to his chin to think, "I think they're preparing to go on an attack of some sort."
"Really? Attack where?" I raised my eyebrow. Leo shrugged, "And why wasn't I told?"
"Oh, haha, that was my fault. Byakuran-sama told me to tell you, but, I kinda slipped. Sorry." He apologized. I sighed, then made my way to the meeting room.
"Wait," I paused my thoughts, "Why isn't Yuni going too?"
Peculiar. Very peculiar.
*~Line~*
As promised, I went into the meeting room with several White and Black Spell captains waiting for me.
"Kumoru Dokuro, Black Spell captain of the fifth squad." I introduced as I sat down. Everyone started to look at each other awkwardly, as usual.
We all sat there, quietly, until Byakuran showed up, with his usual trademark smile.
"Now, you're all probably why I gathered you all here at such short notice," he began, "And that's understandable. We are here today to discuss an attack."
"You don't say?" I thought in my head. Knowing everything he can do, thoughts are about the only thing that I can keep.
"We're going to attack this base," Byakuran showed a picture of a castle on the screen. More specifically, the Varia Castle, "We're attacking the Vongola family's elite independent assassination squad, the Varia."
"Why?" one of the captains asked.
"Because the Vongola family is nowhere near us, but the Varia are closer. If we want to get the Vongola rings, then we need to take out our road block."
"But, as I recall, the Varia aren't exactly the best of friends with the Vongola family. What do they care what you do?" I pointed out.
"They're still a potential threat. They still work under the Vongola name." he answered.
I ignored what happened the rest of the meeting, and speculated my possibilities in my head.
If Reborn is alive, and I can get an order from him directly, then I'm no longer obligated to work for the Milliefiore, as it is not my official family, nor is it my job. My job is to follow the orders of the Arcobaleno. If I go on this attack, then perhaps I can contact the Vongola base and get myself there. So, I have to go on that attack.
I waited until the end, when we were selected.
"And, I think we're done here." Byakuran smiled and waved.
"Byakuran," I chimed up. I looked at me with curious eyes, "The fifth squad would like to assist."
"Oh? You normally never leave the base. Why do you want to go?" he raised an eyebrow.
I thought for a quick moment, then fake glared at Byakuran.
"I have a score to settle with them."
