'Ding dong, ding dong'. A white-haired boy is currently ringing the bell of Sendou's house.

"Coming. Please wait for a minute". A woman dressed in a plain turquoise long-sleeved shirt with a matching knee-length skirt comes out to greet Byakuran.

"It's that you, Byakuran-kun? You have grown so much since I last meet you. You used to be such a cute skinny little boy."

"Haha. Puberty hits me hard I guess. Long time no see, Nariko-san. May I come in and have a talk?"

"Of course you can. Just wait for a moment, please." The woman whose name is Nariko suddenly steps forward and stares at the tree opposite of her house. Byakuran is about to ask her what's wrong when she throws a shuriken towards the shady tree. The shuriken is reflected back towards Nariko by a shot which she just casually catch back using her hand with ease.

"Ciaossu. As sharp as always, 'fantasma signora'. And what a 'nice' greeting that you gave me here although it has been years since we last seen each other." A five years old kid wearing a fedora holding a gun jumps down from the tree and walks towards them.

"Ciao, Reborn. Just repaying what you always did to me whenever we met on a job. And don't call me by that nickname. I still don't like it and don't get it why people called me that", said Nariko.

What is the ex-sun arcobaleno doing here? Did he just call Nariko-san fantasma signora? They sounded like they have known each other for a long time. Byakuran tilts his head and stares at both of them confusedly with more invisible question marks pop up in his head.

Nariko seems to know what is going on in Byakuran's mind so she answered first. "He comes here with the same reason as you, Byakuran-kun. Why don't both of you get into my house first?" Nariko chuckled slightly while looking at Byakuran's confused face. Meanwhile, Reborn has already walks into the house before Nariko finished her sentence.

Once they are inside the living room, Nariko went to the kitchen and came back with a tray of marshmallow cookies and a jug of expresso.

"Hmm, you know that we are coming, aren't you, Nariko?" Reborn asked.

"Yes. I have anticipated that the both of you will come and pay me a visit today. I knew you will come here ever since I decided to send Kiko to Namimori School. I just knew Byakuran-kun will come here when Kiko told me about her new classmates yesterday. This will going to be a long talk, so I prepared those just now as a treat to both of you", said Nariko.

Silence befell the room as none of them want to start the talk first. Even Reborn is a bit hesitated since what he is going to ask might bring back unpleasant memories to Nariko if what he has found out yesterday was true. As for Byakuran, he didn't expect Reborn to be here as well, so he is not sure whether he should ask about Akiko straight away. He is also curious how Nariko-san and Reborn knew each other.

"So, which one of you going to start first?", asked Nariko.

"I don't mind if Reborn starts first. But, before that, can I ask how both of you know each other?", said Byakuran.

"Ever heard of Fantasma Signora, one of the top hitwomen in the world? That hitwoman is right here." Reborn pointed at Nariko while seeping his expresso.

"Ehhh, you are that famous hitwoman who is known to appear from thin air in front of the targets no matter where they are hiding and attack them from in front?" Byakuran eyes widen. "Then, I assume you met Reborn during one of your missions?"
