Chapter 24
Hacking (amongst other things)
"No matter where you hide, you cannot escape my balls..." -Gamma
I'm not sure if I've used that already, but I love that quote.
Do I have 50, 000 words yet? I don't know...
You're welcome.
Here's Chapter 24: Hacking (amongst other things)
I spent the rest of that day avoiding my mom like she was the plague, and scaring the hell out of Gamma whenever I could.
Our reunion was definitely interesting.
He was sitting at his desk, his head in his hands. Apparently, Nosaru was making the bills grow, exponentially, after he discovered Cheese-Flavored Goldfish.
I ninja-rolled across the floor, all inconspiciously. I didn't think he had noticed me... I creeped, slowly, along the edge of his desk.
"...Nosaru needs to find a new favorite food." Gamma muttered to himself.
I put my hand on his shoulder, grinning to myself when he jumped. "That he does, Gamma, that he does."
"SON OF A- P-Princess?" he placed his hand over his heart, his blood pressure rising. "You're gonna give me a heart attack one day."
I laughed, brightly. "Of course I will! I am, after all-"
"Prodigious, I know." he smiled, slightly. "We've all heard it before."
I pouted, childishly. "Don't kill my fun."
He leaned back in his chair. "So, where've you been? With Irina-san?"
I shook my head. "Partying it up in Japan. With the Vongola. And an escaped convict."
Gamma stared at me, unable to tell if I was joking or not. "...?"
I nodded. "True story."
He facepalmed. "I really don't wanna know."
I considered it. "Yeah, you don't wanna know."
"You gonna tell me about it anyway?" he raised his eyebrows.
I grinned. "You know me so well. But that's for later. Right now, I need to you to get me something."
He blinked. "What kind of something? Anything illegal?"
"A laptop." I said, seriously. "And one with a webcam. And perhaps a cell phone, too."
He sighed. "Well, thats better than anything illegal."
I snorted. "I'm gonna do illegal things with it."
"...I knew that would be a part of the deal." he deadpanned.
I laughed. "Gamma, you're a Mafioso. Illegal is like...in the name, practically."
The next day, he handed me a SAMSUNG laptop, and a iPhone. "Here. Got it from the drug-dealer."
I snickered. "Got any drugs too?"
He gave me a serious look. "Of course."
We had a staring contest. Then we burst out laughing.
I wiped a tear. "Oh, thanks, Gamma~"
He grinned. "Of course."
I holed myself up in my room, working on the computer. I was trying to hack into the Vongola, to get a hold of Squ-chan. But the Vongola were the top mafia family in the world for a reason. I could do it...just with a hell of a lot of time.
See, while I can't fight, I can do a hell of a lot of things with technology. Not to mention, the technology here was so much easier than the technology in the old world to operate.
"Firewall...avoided." I sighed. There were at least a dozen programs, passwords, whatever! on their systems. Stupid Nono.
After like two hours later, (and about 20 more defense systems) I got a single phone number. Squ-chan's.
1-800-VOIIII.
Squalo-san is not very...subtle, is he?
No. I don't even know why I didn't try this in the first place.
I saved the phone number in my new iPhone, along with Gamma's, Mama's, Tsuna's home number (he doesn't have a cell phone. Just another sign of his No-Good -ness.), and Reborn's. I could probably find Hibari-sama's with relative ease (compared to the Vongola, no one else's defense systems were worth shit.), but that would be for later.
I called the number. "Hello?"
"VOIII! Who the hell are you and how'd you get this number?! If you're one of those assholes who sell fucking magazines, I'll gut you!" his loud voice yelled into the receiver.
I laughed. "Squ-chan, dearest, who else would hack into the Vongola just to invite you to lunch?"
"...it's the stupid kid, isn't it?" he sounded like he was deadpanning. Which he was.
"You mean the most prodigious little girl that Italy has ever seen?" I said, happily. My magnificent mood (which had only improved since breaking into the Vongola systems) would not be deterred by a simple comment.
"...it is the stupid kid." he sighed. "You broke into Vongola? You do realize I could kill you for that."
"Ah, but Squ-chan, dear, you would not. I am much too cute to die early. ...not to mention the fact that I'm the next Giglio Nero boss, and could have you executed and Nono wouldn't be able to do shit about it." I added. "And I didn't steal any important information. Or read anything important."
Yuni-chan, you wouldn't have to steal any important information. You already know almost everything of importance about the Vongola.
Yeah, but I'm not lying to him, anyways.
That is true, but you still broke in, anyways. You could've just asked Reborn-ojii-sama.
Yeah, but Reborn would make me do something in order to get that info. Not worth it.
"...you wanted lunch, right?" he asked, choosing not to question how, exactly, I broke into the Vongola's files.
"Yeah! Let's go to, umm, how about some place with gelato?" I adored the stuff. That was the best thing about being born an Italian. Gelato.
Gelato, to put it simply, is like the Italian version of ice cream. But better. I know that seems impossible (nothing is better than ice cream, right?), but it is. It's an Italian cuisine, and defined as 'a soft ice cream containing little to no air'. I don't know what that means, but really. Gelato is the shit. It rocks my socks.
"Mou~ Squ-chan, who are you talking to? A girlfriend, perhaps~?" a particularly flamboyant voice practically sang, in the background.
"What?! VOIIIIII! Lussuria, get the hell out of here!" he yelled, annoyed.
"Lussuria-san?" I blinked. "The day that I date Squ-chan is the day that he becomes a pedophile. I'm four."
"Yuni-chan!" he squealed, snatching the phone away from the long-haired captain. "It's been too long! Two years, right? Mou~ I've missed you so!"
"Me too, Lussuria-san!" I smiled. Even though I had only spent about a day at the base, they had been kind(-ish) to me, and were amongst my favorite characters in the series. "How have you been?"
"Oh, just wonderful! You should come have lunch here! Squ-chan has just been hogging you hasn't he? That sad excuse for a father..."
"I'd love to visit, Lussuria-san! Send Squ-chan to meet me, err, in the forest, where he kidnapped me, in an hour, alright?" I suggested.
"Fantastic~ Love you, bye-bye~"
Click.
Alright. Now, to explain to Mama that I'm willingly walking into an assassination squad's base.
She'll understand. After all, you have been there before, and weren't killed. But then again, you did leave Italy, to Japan, with an escaped prisoner, of all people, without her approval.
Think of the positives, Mao-chan, the positives.
I'm afraid there are none in this situation.
So instead of telling my mom (since Mao-chan said it was such a horrid idea.), I went to Gamma. He was practically my guardian, after all, since Mama always shoved me into his care.
"Gamma, I'm going to go have lunch with some of my friends." I informed him, poking my head into his office.
He stood, scooting out the chair from his desk. "Do you need a chaperone?
Yes. Squalo-san needs as many chaperones as possible, pardon my rudeness.
"No, thank you." I grinned. "Bye-bye!"
I left the room.
He sat back down. "She's probably just off to get in more trouble...I hope Boss won't blame me for it..."

Life...seems to be getting interesting.
Alright, so here is how things are gonna work out:
I'm going along with the anime, so the whole Arcobaleno Trials/Inheritance Arc? Not happenin' here. I might make a sequel, with the whole manga thing (after I, ya know, read the manga), but I'd let you know if I did.
Reviews~
Paigecat - Chrome? Nice...personally, I love Chrome. She's magnificent. A little clingy to Mukuro, but I love her character.
The Ice Sorceress - I ain't spoiling anything about Mao's identity...
UnfadingPromise - No spoilers here!
Searchingformyheart - Naturally funny...yep, I definitely like that title.
Rebi-chan - Who recommended this story to you? I need to thank them...Reviews are basically the comments, to stories. Hiatus-es suck. Never for me.
shirokuromokona - Not trying to spoil anything (so if you don't wanna know shit, then cover your eyes), but if you think about it, Byakuran having Yuni is vital to the plot. If Byakuran didn't have Yuni, then Tsuna would've lost the Vongola Rings and died, in Choice. She saved him, so he saved her. And by saving her, he had enough time to power up and defeat Byakuran. So if I wanna keep the plot right, then I need Yuni to go with Byakuran.
KatoKimeka-chan - No color/color, doesn't really matter. If you wanna digitalize it, go ahead. I describe nothing, but people love me anyways :)
echo andalice - Yuni is insane. True enough.
MeLikesROFL - How dareth you! The pedos cannot be forgotten!
Eruruu4 - I'll do my best! *thumbs up*
CieloFiore-hime - Can't spoil the story...
Vanessa Celestine Blanchette - Everyone loves Gokudera, ahahaha! I told you that Bianchi sounded weird as hell...no one ever believes me. But the Abridged is funny, isn't it?
akuma-chan25300 - I love OCs. Unless they suck.
Just a heads up: next chapter will be about Yuni's visit to the Varia HQ (right now, Xanxus thinks that he has the real Half-Vongola Rings, while in Japan, Tsuna and the others are training their asses off), and it will be pretty important! It isn't just a filler.
Thanks for all the support! I'm not even at 100, 000 words yet, and I already have 175 reviews. Can't wait until 200 :) (even though that will take a while...)
Leave a review~
And some Cheese goldfish for Nosaru!
Expect an update soon.
