It's a little early, but Happy New Years! Hope we all have nice year ^u^
Alice read the guide one more time, "Katekyou Hitman Reborn?"
What kind of name is that?
She immediately imagined of a tutor who was secretly a hitman and can reborn many times. It was a ridiculous imagination, but that was the first thing she thought of when she heard the name of the world.
"Ok so….does that mean all the people in this world is a tutor and a hitman?"
Jimmy looked at Alice once and sighed, "How should I know? Ask a betta question, stupid."
The sigh just now felt like the whale was ridiculing her as Alice put the guide in her pocket, "…..Yeah, it was a stupid question how can a mere fish answer that kind of question?"
"I'm not a fish!" Just when Jimmy yelled, a blast of explosion destroyed the nearby wall. Dust and little pieces of rocks flew in Alice's way.
Coughing, she blinked and tried to find the source of explosion, "…What the….."
From the rising smoke, a man with a light brown hair held out numerous amounts of bombs and shouted, "You insolent bastard! The tenth is the coolest, strongest, and smartest boss in the world!"
Another figure appeared from the smoke and equally shouted, "Ha! How can that weakling idiotic looking brat be the coolest, strongest, and smartest boss in the world! Obviously, my boss, Blood is the most wonderful, strong, and admirable boss in the universe!"
It was a familiar voice, squinting her eyes through the blurry sight, Alice noticed the brown milk coca colored rabbit ears and the orange short wavy hair. It was Hatter family's number two, Elliot March.
The other man gripped his dynamites and yelled furiously, "What! Are you trying to pick a fight on the most powerful mafia organization?"
Elliot smirked and pulled out his own pistol, "Heh, at most, that boss of yours can be the weakest boss in the world."
Standing behind the dynamite man, a short boy with a scared expression, looked at the entire situation as if he was going to die, "Um…Gokudera-kun and the other person too, why don't we calm down a bit…..?"
"No way (in hell) (tenth)!" Replying curtly, the two stepped up and started the fight. The short boy screamed cowardly and tried to avoid all the dynamites and bullets that were coincidentally coming his way.
"….Elliot?"
The number 2 immediately turned his head to the girl and widened his eyes, "Alice?" The surprise lowered his guard for a while and created a brief opening. Not noticing the fact that Alice was there, Gokudera threw the dynamites into the air and lit them at once. One by one, the objects exploded and the ground cracked as if there was a major volcanic eruption. Hit by flying debris, one of the dynamites turned its projectile from Elliot to Alice and prepared itself for the blast.
Elliot, who was adeptly avoiding all the dynamites, turned his head towards the foreigner and yelled, "Alice!"
Hearing Elliot's panicked voice, Alice reacted and moved her eyes to the danger, "!" She felt the dynamite dropping in a slow motion. She can hear her breath inhaling and exhaling loudly. From few feet away, Elliot shouted something at her and lifted his arm towards her way. The ring on his finger shined brightly with a beautiful shade of orange fire. In an instant, flashing light blinded her eyes and felt a falling sensation. The next thing she noticed was Elliot on top of her with a weirdly shaped gun.
"El….liot?" Alice lifted her head and worriedly looked at the man, who protected her from the explosion.
Slowly getting up, Elliot clucked his tongue and immediately turned his head towards Alice, "Are you ok, Alice? Are you hurt anywhere?" Letting his eyes slid down to inspect any injury, Alice sighed in relief; there were no casualties for the both of them.
"I'm alright, Elliot…..but I think I've taken mental damage….." More like shock...
Placing a worried expression for a moment, Elliot turned around to glare at Gokudera, "Sorry! I'm really sorry! I'll kill that bastard right away so-."
"No, I don't want that. I'll forgive you if you come a little closer to me," Alice lowered her voice and narrowed her eyes.
Reacting to her angry mood, Elliot froze a little and pusillanimously walked to Alice's side, "Ok….?"
Smiling pleasantly for a second, Alice raised her hands and grabbed onto the man's ears, "! Oouuuchhhh! It hurts, Alice!"
"Of course, this supposed to be punishment for you! How can you just take out a gun and start shooting at people!" Touching and enjoying the soft fluffy texture in her hands, Alice couldn't stop from smiling evilly.
Creepy laughter was heard throughout the neighborhood as Gokudera and the other boy could only stare at the odd sight of a devilish girl pulling on a full grown man's rabbit ears.
Forgetting that Gokudera was even there, Elliot screamed in pain, "I'm really sorry! Please forgive me! So please let go of my ears!" His purple eyes were filled with tears as he put his hand on his ears. His hand brushed on Alice's hand and the brunette noticed that he was slightly shivering.
Alice's smile turned into a soft one. Ah, how much cuter can this man be? She felt a tingle of guilt and the urge to hug Elliot. She wanted to take away the tears in his eyes and spoil him with all her might. However, more than comforting Elliot, Alice wanted to feel this addicting texture in her hand. Savor the cute pouting expression plastered on the big muscular man and burn it into her mind.
Alice is usually a modest and composed girl, even when an irregular situation happens she try to maintain her standing and reacted accordingly. However, when it comes to Elliot's lovely adorable bunny ears and Peter's rabbit form something inside her runs loose and rampages without any logic or reasoning.
Sorry Elliot…..
Alice's smile turned back into a wicked one and Elliot's eyes lost all hope, "No….I will not."
"Gyaaaaaaa!" The painstaking scream of the Hatter family's number 2 was heard throughout the neighborhood and beyond. That day, rumors came around saying that they heard a ghost's cry from the depths of hell.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
"Whew! That felt good!" Wiping off the invisible sweat off of her forehead, Alice exclaimed in delight. Her smile was a like a morning dew just starting to prepare for the long bright day.
Sniffing and trying his best not to cry, Elliot touched his drooping ears to somehow relieve the pain, "…..Alice…..you're so mean. That really hurt, you know?"
Alice looked at the sad drooping ears and gulped. If she didn't be careful, she would do the same thing again and for sure, this time, Elliot will run away from her. Smiling a little sadly at the lingering texture gradually disappearing from her hands, she apologized, "I'm sorry Elliot."
Pouting a little longer, Elliot's gaze shifted from Alice to the two men standing behind them. Following his gaze, Alice looked at the strangers and lowered her head into a bow, "On behalf of Elliot, I apologize for the mess that he did."
Gokudera scoffed at Alice's remark and replied haughtily, "Of course you b*-."
"No, no, no! It was also our fault that this happened. It was good that there were no casualties," the short boy smiled weakly as he tried to mediate the rising tension.
Gokudera looked at the boy unsettlingly, "But tenth, we should make that man realize who's the boss here!"
Elliot instantly stood up from the ground and opened his mouth to shout something, but before he could say anything, Alice motioned him to stop. Moving his eyes to the girl, Elliot closed his mouth and gritted his teeth.
The boy, who is called the tenth from Gokudera, exclaimed timidly, "Gokudera-kun! Please refrain from taking those dangerous bombs out in the public! You even nearly injured her!"
Glancing briefly at Alice, Gokudera bit his lip and shoved the dynamites into his jacket, "…I'm sorry tenth…."
Hey, hey, no apology for me? I almost died here?
Feeling like she was just ignored, Alice held her thoughts to herself and waited until the tenth turned to her way, "Anyways my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Just call me Tsuna and this is Gokudera Hayato."
Smiling accordingly, the wonderland residents also introduced themselves, "My name is Alice Liddell and this man here is Elliot March. Nice to meet you."
Just when Alice was about to ask what was happening, a small figure came down from the sky and dived towards Tsuna, "Don't forget about this famous young flower, Reborn~!"
"Youch!" A small, about one year old child came flying towards Tsuna and ended up kicking him in the head. Tsuna fell down to the ground as the infant landed gracefully on top of him.
"A…baby?" Alice was too surprised by the entrance of the unknown baby and continued to stare at the oddity.
Standing perfectly on top of Tsuna's back, Reborn walked up to the boy's head and kicked it, "Hey stupid Tsuna, you forgot to introduce me! It's rude to not introduce the future mafia boss' tutor."
Popping his eyes out with the pain on his head, Tsuna yelled, "Reborn! That hurt!"
Ignoring Tsuna's complaint, Reborn turned to greet Alice, "Well since this idiot won't introduce me, I'll introduce myself instead. My name is Reborn, currently hired by the Vongola family and tutoring the next hopeless successor of mafia boss, Tsuna."
"Hahaha…mafia…" Is this baby role playing as mafia? …Surely he can't be the real mafia. I mean he's a freckin' baby and where in the world can there be a future mafia boss like that?
Alice's eyes shifted to look at Tsuna. Looking at the hinted gaze, he smiled with a troubled expression, "Well…..it's true….." Alice smiled pleasingly for a while. Yes, yes that baby is a mafia tutor and this middle schooler is a mafia boss- with the sudden hit of realization of unbelievable truth, Alice popped her eyes and dropped her jaw.
"Wait….that's not true, right?" Alice grabbed onto Tsuna's arm and nearly shouted in disbelief. She wasn't too sure herself, but she knew that as mafia, Blood and Elliot have done something pretty nasty in the dark. From her observation, Tsuna seemed like the least of the people to become a mafia much less a mafia boss. It would be more plausible if he was only saying this to play along with Reborn's mafia roleplay.
"Um….well."
Why are you having a hard time replying to me!
Looking at Tsuna's reaction, Alice gulped. She had to accept this truth; and if this fact was accurate then Alice was in surrounded by a bunch of mafias.
Elliot scoffed at Tsuna, "The Hatter family boss is definitely better than you though."
Reborn stared suspiciously at Elliot, "But it's strange….I never heard of the Hatter family."
Hearing Reborn's remark, Elliot stepped forward, "What! Are you trying to pick a fight?"
Alice went in front of the number 2 of the Hatter family and sighed, "Don't pick a fight on a baby."
As if he didn't care what Elliot was about to do, Reborn turned to Tsuna, "By the way, Tsuna, don't you have school?"
"Huh?" Tsuna raised his wrist to look at the time and widened his eyes, "Noooo! I'm late!" He immediately gripped his bag tight and sprinted off.
Following his boss, Gokudera glared at Elliot for a while and soon rushed off to the same direction, "Oh, wait for me, tenth!"
Elliot and Alice looked at the Vongola family all running to somewhere as they noticed that Reborn had also disappeared.
The foreigner looked at the blue sky leisurely moving forward and mumbled, "…I feel tired….."
It became sort of ElliotxAlice. :D It's hard to make Reborn in character, he's just so random!
