Chapter 18

I, surprisingly, finished my paperwork in the matter of three days. Impressive, even for me, I announced to my family that I was going to make an alliance with the Vongola. They protested, they were our enemy at this point for reasons, thinking I would be killed. I can't do that right now though since Nono really isn't there, but is in Gola Moska. Sigh. Things are so complicated.

"I'm going to Japan." I announced during dinner. Everyone spluttered out whatever they had in their mouth's or started choking. I found this hilarious. "I will be going alone to see some friends I met in the time that I was not here."

"B-But… Lace-chan!" my right-hand man, who was really my only friend and person my age right now, looked at me with worry. He's like me, special when found and trained to be one of the best. He had three types of flames while I had all. Actually, he's my best friend. "Y-you can't go alone!" Though he seems like a wimp sometimes, he's very serious when he fights…and when it comes to me.

"I guess you are right…Then, Akira, you are coming with me as my right-hand man!" I nod at him. "That is all, no more questions."

"But, Princess-" I threw a knife in the blink of an eye at the man who tried to speek up. It lodged itself in the chair right next to his neck.

"That is all. Next time I won't miss." I said coldly. I stood up and started leaving. "I'll see you all in due time. Come on, Akira, I already have the jet ready."

"A-ah, okay…" He quickly bowed and jogged to catch up. "Lace-chan… Why are we going to Japan?"

"Didn't I already say it? I have some friends to see, and someone new to meet."

"I get that but…why?"

"Because, they're special. They're Vongola, and this is a battle I don't want to miss out on." I smile evilly. I only do bitter sweet, cold, and evil smiles…and smirks. Other than that, poker face.

"B-battle?!" I chuckle.

"Yup. Now hurry up and pack, this jet will get us over to our destination in a few hours. Let's roll, Akira!" I grab his hand and drag him to his room to help.

"What about your stuff, Lace-chan?"

"I already finished and it's on the jet. I was going to leave even if you guys disagreed with me. I'm your boss, I do what I want."

"I wonder if your sane sometimes, Lace-chan."

"Yeah, me too."

The jet dropped us off at Tsuna's house at around noon. We used parachutes, don't worry. I rang the doorbell and Nana answered.

"Ah! Lacie-chan! You're back!" She smiled then looked at Akira who hid shyly behind me. "Who's this?"

"Hm? Oh this is my best friend Akira, I went back home to face my problem. Daddy is gone so I'm responsible for the family now."

Her eyes widen in shock.

"How big is your family, Lacie-chan?"

"Really big. Sorry, I missed a few days of school, didn't I?"

"Oh, yes. But I just called in and said you had a fever since Reborn-kun said that you would come back."

"Thank you, Maman."

"Is your friend, Akira-kun, like you?"

"Oh, yes! He might seem timid and shy but he's really strong and brave! He's really smart too!"

"Really! Well, I was about to take Lambo-kun and I-Pin-chan out, would you like to come along?" She smiled sweetly.

"Actually, I was planning on going to school and showing Akira around."

"E-Eh?!" Akira turned to me surprised.

"Well, let's get you in your uniform and your bags in your room."

"Alright."

"Lacie-chan… that uniform is so…" Akira spoke for the first time since we left the house. We were almost to the school, really.

"Slutty? Skirt too short? For middle-schoolers? Yeah, I know."

"It looks cute." I turn to him and raise an eyebrow. "You never where something like that at head quarters and none of us have every really seen you in a dress, let alone a uniform."

"I guess you're right." I look up at the sky then notice we're at the school. "Oro? We're here."

"It's a pretty big school…" Akira observed it intently. This is why Akira's my right-hand, he can observe or look at something once then never forget it.

"The teachers suck. To Kyo-chan!" I grabbed his hand and darted to Hibari's office. I kicked Kusa-chan out of the way and slammed the door open. "Kyo-chan!"

"Hn." He glared up at me from his paperwork. I shivered. Paperwork. "What do you want, omnivore?" So it's omnivore now, huh?

"Sorry I've been absent, by the way, the name is Lacie Amefurashi, not Sawada. This is my friend Akira, can he have a visitors pass, please?" I ask, bowing my head.

"Hn." I heard some scribbling then a rip. I look up to see him handing Akira the pass. "Amefurashi, 'The Rain Goddess'? I'll have you stick with Sawada."

"Thanks, Kyo-chan! Tell Dino I said hi!" Then I was out the door still dragging Akira.

We made it to the class, I slammed the door open. There was still another two hours until school ended but oh well.

"Lacie-san?" The teacher sweatdropped. "I thought you had a fever…?"

"Fever's gone! This is my friend Akira, Akira, say hey to these dipshits who have no manners."

Says the 5 year old who cusses! I could basically hear everyone scream in their heads.

"Hey! I am almost six!" I snap at them.

"U-Umm… Hello. My name is Akira, please take care of me…" The girls in the room squealed. I stepped in front of him and glared.

"No one, and I mean no one, lays a finger on Akira or you will die. I will make sure of it." Not even anyone in the Family lays a finger on Akira, only me. Anyone who touches Akira can activate his killer-instinct. It's deadly. I should know.

I witnessed it at first hand.

So the day went on and Akira sat next to me since the person who usually sits there was absent. By the end of the day, girls were about to crowd around him when I grabbed his hand and dragged him over to Tsuna's group.

"Tuna-nii! Let's go home!" My eyes dead serious. "I have something to tell you."

"Tch! Don't tell Juudaime what to do, brat!" Gokudera hissed at me.

"Please don't talk like that to Lace-chan." Akira glared at Gokudera. "You must be Gokudera Hayato. Lace-chan told me about you on the way here."

"By the way, where did you go?" Tsuna looked at me intently. "You were suddenly taken away by that man."

"Hm? Oh, I escaped them and went back to my family since my father is gone and in Vendicare. I had to step up and take the inheritance." I nod.

"Lace-chan is our Family's Boss. I'm her right-hand."

I didn't notice that we were already on our way home until I dodged a bullet which engraved itself in the ground.

"Nice to see you again too, Reborn," I nod at the baby who is looking at me sharply.

"W-Why did you shoot Lace-chan! She means no harm!" Akira stood in front of me but I pushed him back.

"Patience, Akira…" I mused, he nodded and calmed down.

"I was okay since you ran away, but now that you have become the boss of an assassination Mafia that is also Vongola's enemy, I can't let you near Vongola Decimo." Reborn pointed his gun at me.

"Go ahead. I dare you. Shoot." He actually did. But I caught his bullet in between my index finger and thumb and examined it. "Not even going to hear me out. I wasn't planning on being he boss, but then I thought things through. I also want to stop this conflict between the Amefurashi and Vongola."

"A-Amefurashi?!" Gokudera sweatdropped. "They're one of the best assassination mafia's in the world."

"A-Are you serious?!" Tsuna screamed.

"Is that really the reason why?" Reborn lowered his gun but kept his guard up.

"You have my word." Reborn put his gun away.

"Amefurashi Boss's have always kept their word, generation to generation. Never broken, but are somehow bent and I am curious as to how you will bend your word."

"You and me both."

"W-wait, Lacie-chan!"

"You should go hurry and train, me and Akira have to go back to school to meet an old friend."

"E-Eh? How did you know?"

"Tch. Stalker-brat!" Gokudera mumbled.

"I know a lot of things, even before they happen." I smile and start disappearing along with Akira.

Illusions, always come in handy.

Me and Akira were walking up the stairs to the roof. It was a little longer for us since we're short. I mean, we're almost six, what did you expect? We stopped at the door, hearing grunting noises.

'DinoxHibari…Didn't really actually think it was real…' I thought as I opened the door. A caught the tonfa that was thrown at me and twirled it in my hand.

"Sup bitches," ("Lace-chan! Language!" Ignoring you Akira, sorry!) I nod at Kyo-chan and Tetsu-kun then turned to Dino who was staring at me as if thinking. "Sup Dino."

"Wait…You're…!" He got in to a fighting stance and glared at me. "Are you here to try to hurt my little bro?" I shake my head.

"I actually want an alliance with the Vongola."

"But only the boss of the family can do that," he took a step forward.

"I am the Boss, dipshit."

I walked in the empty abandoned KokuyoLand searching for the room Chikusa and Ken were in, and also Chrome.

"-it seems that even with the help of this girl, this is the extent of my power…" Mukuro said. I walked in the room. Everyone turned to me.

"Oya oya? What are you doing here, Lacie-chan?"

"Just came over to meet Chrome," I shrug. He looked at me sharply.

"I see. I leave my dear Chrome in your care as well." I nod.

"I was going to anyways. Mukuro, I need to talk to you about something later."

"Understood, Lacie-chan. And who is the boy you are hiding behind you?"

"Darn, I didn't want you to meet him." I remove my mist flames from covering him. "This is my friend, Akira, he's also my right-hand."

"Right-hand? But only bosses may have… You can't be…" Mukuro glared at me. I curtsied.

"Lacie Amefurashi, Amefurashi Decimo."

"Last time I checked, Vongola and Amefurashi are enemies."

"Since I am the Boss now, I will explain that to you later, I want an alliance with Vongola. I mean no harm, besides, you are my friends…no?"

"I suppose so. Oya, my time is running out…" He started to fade away slowly. He looked at Ken and Chikusa. "I will see you another time, Ken, Chikusa. Please take care of both of these girls. They are part of my plan now."

I roll my eyes as he finally vanishes. Chrome opens her eyes, suddenly twirling around and staring at me.

"Mukuro-sama has told me a lot about you."

Has he now? Hmmm…

"I shall call you Google Chrome or Chrome-chan! Or Chrome-nee?" She blushed.

"J-just Chrome is fine…"

"Okay! You can call me Lacie! Ah, this is Akira, he's my best friend and also my right-hand."

"Please take care of me, Lacie-san, Akira-san."

"Drop the honorifics, it's annoying."

"Lace-chan! Please behave properly!"

"Lace-chan? C-can I call you that?" Chrome asked shyly. I smiled brightly.

"Of course! Oro? Where's Ken and Chikusa? Tch. Jerks, ditching us right after Mukuro-nii disappears."

"Mukuro…nii?" I nod.

"I don't wanna call him anything because if I call him pineapple fairy he gets mad at me." She nods in understanding.

"Lace-chan, I just got a call from HQ-,"

"Wow, when did that happen?" I really need to pay attention to him more. I feel so heartless now.

"-and you have more paperwork on-,"

"NO! NO MORE PAPER WORK! MY BRAIN IS ALREADY FRIED! CHROME-CHAN! HELP MEEEEEE!" I cling on to her leg which cause her to blush. Chrome is so cute. In a sisterly way, of course.

"-the new war against us and the Giglio Nero and bills on some broken stuff." I freeze.

I completely forgot about that. My bangs covered my eyes as the atmosphere grew tense.

"I see. Chrome-chan, we'll see each other again soon. Come one Akira, tell them we'll arrive home in a couple of weeks, depending on when my…observation is done."

"They said to go now." He persisted.

"Send the paperwork over here then." I insisted. I never got a childhood or a chance to go to school. I have the opportunity right here in front of me and I'm not letting that go to waste.

"Understood, Lace-chan…" he sighed and took out his phone. I waved at Chrome as we left. She waved back slightly and I smiled then turned away heading for the Sawada's residence. It was kind of late, almost dinner time. "Lace-chan, it should be arriving at the Sawada's shortly."

"Fuck, I can't let Reborn see anything the paperwork says! Come on, Akira!" I go into Hyper Dying Will mode and grab his hand.

Yes, I said Hyper Dying Will Mode.

I have Vongola blood in me, yes. But only a bit, not much. I don't know how it happened. Maybe it's because I'm related to Fran.

Fran, I have people watching him from afar making sure nothing happens. But when we turn six our mom should die. I forgot how she dies, but she does.

We made it to the house just before my men were about to knock on the door. I get out of HDWM.

"Ah! Princess!" The man came up to me and saluted me. "Where should we bring your paperwork?" I shivered. More paperwork, gross.

"Just follow me." I take out the house keys(don't ask, I get things my way… by sneaking them out of Tsuna's bag when he wasn't looking) and unlock the door. I step inside and take off my shoes. "I'm home!"

"Lacie-chan! Where have you b-Oh? Who are these men?" Maman asked worriedly.

"Maman, these men are part of my family. They just came to drop off my paperwork, I hope you don't mind…" I made a sad face which she fell for.

"Of course not! Please, her room is this way!" She led the men upstairs and down the hall to my room. They set down three stacks of paperwork before nodding a thank you and leaving. "Lacie-chan, you must be very important to your family!"

"You have no idea." Me and Akira smiled at each other.

Long Chapter...So yeah, do you guys want me to do the ring conflict(which I will only do part of for reason with Lacie's Famiglia) or just skip to the future and explain in a shorter version on what happened in the ring conflict? I mean she's not supposed to interfere anyways so what's the point? But I'll leave that to you guys to answer *shrug*

WeWubFranxx – Sadly yes, that is part of my plan. I might change it a bit but not completely.

Unknown Being – What do you think? (I'm leaving it to your imaginations until it gets to the point where they meet.)
