Attacks on Namimori Middle

Kokuyo Arc: 2nd Year of Middle School

🔥

Suspicious things were happening in Namimori, Mia thought. She was in her room, staring outside her window. The town was silent tonight but she had a grim inkling that the same thing would happen again.

The other night, she had taken a walk around the neighborhood, her insomnia struck, forcing her to exhaust her mind and body in order to get the rest she deserved. It was something she developed after her mother died and often kept her awake when she felt really worried. This time, she was worrying over inter-Family matters after a lesson with Bianchi. Just from the basic run-down of Vongola 101, the Vongola Family settled their feuds with blood and death. From what Bianchi told her, the Family wasn't as brutal as it used to be after the Eight boss, Daniela, had taken over although the Family still held a fierce reputation.

If there's one thing about this matter that gave hope for the Vongola, is that it needs a woman's head.

Well a good head in general but still, go girl power!

How Tsuna will factor into it – that is if he will be the boss – is the real question. There's a lot to worry about and it all got so much that she left her apartment for a walk. She had almost come to a full circle around the block when she saw the unmistakable pompadour hairstyle of the Disciplinary Committee member lying in a pool of blood.

She called an ambulance immediately then went to see if the member was still alive. He was still breathing, she sighed in relief. But he had a bad head wound. Knowing basic first aid, she did her best to stop the bleeding. Afterwards, she noticed a peculiar object on his chest. It was a broken pocket watch. Mia picked it up. The hour hand had stopped on eleven. Eleven o'clock. She frowned, wondering why something like this was lying around. She placed it back apologetically on the member.

The watch held nothing else of importance. There was no point in taking it, considering the watch was of low quality – there were scratches and dents on it and the gold was fading, showing the brass underneath and it waa broken. The hands were fixed on the number eight. She didn't need it anyway but the police might think it's useful so she put it back. Moments later, the ambulance came.

Hibari was there, watching as they strapped the member on the stretcher. Mia didn't question why Hibari was there. Pretenses aside, Hibari is a good leader and he took care of his people.

"Little cub." Mia turned to him. "Tell me everything you know."

She crossed her arms, feeling a bit chilly and stared at the unconscious member. She told him the basics, why she was out walking, how she found the injured member and the strange watch. When she was done talking, she rubbed her arms. He noticed.

"Go home, tomorrow is a school day," he said.

Mia nodded. "Yeah. I'll leave it to you then." She turned around only to turn back again. "And Hibari, I would really appreciate it if you don't mention I was here…" she gestured at the scene of the crime. "I'll be going now." Not knowing if he'll honor her request or not she was making her way back when she heard Hibari say, "Don't catch a cold little cub."

Mia smirked to herself, feeling a bit pleased that she had been promoted from 'herbivore' to 'little cub'. Apparently, Hibari had caught on to her shenanigan over at the time when Tsuna was hospitalized. He never mentioned it but she liked to believe that he was impressed.
