Witch of the Underworld

Acceptance

The next day, Tsuna skipped school to spend time with Iemitsu. There was something I noticed. Tsuna was different around Iemitsu. His movements were clumsier than usual. In general, he was more unbalanced, even idiotic than usual. Mama didn't seem to notice, but she never notices anything. The dolls figured things out and didn't like it. The house was drenched in a filthy stench.

"Yona, come here!" I heard mama say excitingly. I walked downstairs and saw her holding a pamphlet.

"What's that?" I asked.

"You have been invited to audition at the Nightingale Academy for the Arts." That's the school Yukine and the rest go to. I took the pamphlet from her.

"Only top students in the audition and test will receive free tuition until graduation?!" I said with shock. Mama hugged me and started to jump with excitement.

"It's tomorrow. Are you going to go?"

"Of course! My friends go to the same school."

"You'll have to prepare. Does the pamphlet say anything about what the audition will be like?" I looked at the information.

"No. It just says to be prepared and I need a reference."

"I can ask your instructor to come by."

"That's okay, mama. I know who to go to. I'll be back."

At Kazuma's house, I interrupted Kyoya's sparring. "Yona?" Father and son questioned. I handed Kazuma the pamphlet. He let out a whistle. "Not many can go there."

"Can I get a reference from you?" I asked him.

"Of course. I'll have Kyoya drop it off later today. How does that sound?"

"As long as I get before tomorrow, I'll be happy. By the way, that man is here."

"That might explain the attack."

"Did you figure anything out about those men?" I asked him.

"They're from Italy. I don't know if they're associated with him or not." Kyoya looked between us, confused to who and what we were talking about.

"An enemy is an enemy. It doesn't matter whose side they're on. I'm just curious."

"If I find anything out, I'll let you know."

"He's only here to investigate his missing men. He didn't come for a vacation at all." I said with disgust.

"Did you overhear him?"

"No. Aya told me." Kazuma smiled.

"Does he know of their existence?"

"He only thinks they're creepy dolls. Little does he know they're weapons."

"Your dolls are weapons?" Kyoya asked me. We ignored him.

"Will he kill you?"

"He'd have to make it look like an accident to get away with it. If I do die, know it was not an accident." Kazuma's smile turned maddening.

"I'll keep that in mind. You should get home and monitor him. If you want security cameras, I'll be happy to provide them."

"Who needs technology when you have my skills."

The next day, I got dressed in black shorts, white t-shirt, white thigh-high tights and my red heeled shoes. I put a dark blue cardigan over and walked downstairs with my bass. Mama was cooking breakfast while Iemitsu and Tsuna were already eating.

"Good morning, Yona. I see you're ready. Come eat." I sat down and a plate of food was put in front of me. I quickly ate.

"Why are you eating so quickly?" Iemitsu asked.
