Chapter 8–The Young Boss of Vongola

Go to Japan, they said. Protect the Decimo from falling from his throne, they said. No matter what they asked from me, I must oblige. It was a rule, in order for my mission to be accomplished. I must not fail the ninth, but… lately; I am starting to feel anxious. Was it something to do with Belphegor? Did he do something?

It was just after midnight, just after her encounter with Belphegor downtown, without a moment to put her thoughts together, she has to leave once more. She sighed. Shaking her thoughts away, she took her bag and left for the helicopter waiting outside of the mansion.

As the helicopter took off, she looked back at the mansion. The silhouette of what she thought was Belphegor was standing at the window, staring.

By the time the sun rose, she had reached Namimori, the residence of the Vongola Decimo. Off the helicopter, she ambled down the streets.

In her hands, a picture of Tsunayoshi Sawada, the Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family. He doesn't look intimidating for the boss of a huge family like Vongola, she thought.

Well, Vanille told her never to judge a book by its cover so she shrugged the thought off. Perhaps, he was stronger than he looked. Or perhaps, he had some sort of hidden power or something.

What stood infront of her was Namimori Middle School. "Blend in," she murmured to herself, "To deceive one's enemy one must first deceive one's ally." If he really is the Boss everyone said he is, well as far as Caelum Famiglia is concerned, he must have noticed the predicament he is in now. And that he had a solution. That or he was a moron to not ask for help. Then again, he must have some family members around him.

The Varia would not dispatch anyone to help the VongolaDecimo if it was not serious. Then again, they would not simply dispatch anyone for they dislike him. Mireille sighed once more. Unless, the name of the family was threatened. But if it was such, then the whole Varia Family would have come.

"What are you doing here?" An intimidating voice asked. It was Kyouya Hibari, Vongola Decimo's Cloud Guardian. Trick the ally, she told herself. "I am a transfer student." She replied in a calm tone.

Yet, he did not seem convinced. "That. You're with the Varia right? You reek of the one with knives. Are you strong?"

She frowned. He looked like he was ready to pounce on her with his tonfas any moment from now.

According to her sources, the cloud guardian was someone who was hard to be dealt with. "Well?" He pressed on for an answer. How do I get him off my back? Any information I say to him not would indefinitely leaked out to the enemy family.

She opened her mouth to speak but they were interrupted by screaming voices. She turned around to find the Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family running into the school with a baby shooting at him. Arcobaleno Reborn. The family members followed. All of them were included in the database except one girl.

The girl had a black shoulder-length hair and a pair of aquamarine eyes. She gave Mireille the same feeling Mireille had just looking at Vanille. Nothing else was the same as the Caelum Boss. She must be a hitman like me, Mireille thought. Even though that girl was not included in the Decimo's list of family members, Mireille could have swear that she had met that girl before. Though, she could not remember where.

"Herbivores," the Cloud guardian growled and walked off.

Blue skies, was all he saw, just a while ago.

Piercing sunlight made him turned away and their eyes met for the first time.

Brown orbs stared at each other. It was the transfer study from Italy, Mireille Chiavarone.

Tsuna smiled anxiously, "Wh-what i-is it? M-M-Mireille, was it?"

Tsuna thought he could finally eat alone in peace. Everyone coincidentally had something to do, so he made his way to the rooftop alone. He sighed, wondering how long his carefree days would stay when the door creaked.

It was the transfer student in his class.

He was hoping it was just him thinking too much when it was announced that she was from Italy.

Reborn never told him anything about anyone coming. Neither did Gokudera say anything or react when she entered the class. No one knew her, so it should be fine, right? Oh boy, was he wrong.

The strange silver-white hair girl approached himand he took a step back. Cold sweat fell from his cheeks. Her brown orbs blinked, inspecting the boy. This is Vongola Decimo in flesh.

Her hands reached out for his cheeks and he flushed. "W-w-what is it?" His body shook a little. Mireille giggled. Tsuna was confused by her strange antics.

She let go of him and opened her mouth to speak for the first time since she came to the rooftop. "It's a pleasure meeting you, Vongola Decimo," She smiled and bowed. Her Japanese was voiced in strong European accent. It took him awhile to realize that she was speaking Japanese.

"Are you here for the Inheritance Ceremony as well? Sorry to disappoint you but I am not going to become the Boss."

Pushing her hair behind her ears, Mireille stared at Tsuna for a moment and said, "I think you would make a wonderful boss."

"W-what? No, I don't want to be!"

Later that night, she reintroduced herself as the representative for the Varia Family, which was a lie. She said she came for the coronation, which was a lie too as her mission was to protect the Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family.

Reborn had gotten no such news from his Italian sources. Hehad shown some suspicions towards her arrival but he knew better than to suspect a family member. More so, when it comes to the Varia Family, there must be a very good reason why they would send someone, so early, despite the fact that that family's Boss clearly hates Tsuna. With regards to Tsuna's safety, if she does not wish to speak, then he must figure something out by himself.
