Pinky Promise

“Oy! Wake up!” I hear someone speaking to me as I shuffled under my bed sheets. I sat up before I rubbed my sleepy eyes.
 
“Ah? I’m up…hmmm…” I ponder to myself as I looked over at the digital numbers on my alarm clock, “EHHHHHH! Lucia! Why in the world are you waking me up so early!?”
 
She completely ignored my question. She quickly sat on my bed, “Tell me Akane, How was he?!”
 
I raised an eyebrow at her, “He? What are you talking about?”
 
“As in the 10^th Mafioso boss of the Vongola familia.” 
 
“What! How did you know I met the 10^th?!” I looked at her surprised. I didn’t get to chance to tell her last night after I came home from Tsuna’s house. So how in the world did she find out that I finally meet the new future boss of the Vongola?
 
Lucia smiles, “By Reborn of course. He called me yesterday in order to inform me that he was going to introduce you to him. So tell meeeeeeee! How is he?” 
 
“Wah! My Godfather told you that!?” I yelled because I couldn’t believe that Reborn called Lucia yesterday.
 
“Yep! So quit ignoring my question, Akane. So how is the new boss?”
 
My eye twitches out of anger because Lucia reminded me of my engagement, “Geesh Lucia! There is no need for me to explain to you who or what type of guy he is.”
 
“On my contraire my dear, it matters to me.”
 
I raised an eyebrow, “How so? Besides to intriguing your curiosity my dear subordinate.”
 
“Because he is your future fiancée…for that matter, I absolutely wanna know what type of guy he is. In order to know exactly to help you and protect you as your close friend, and right-hand of the Harlequin princess.”
 
I couldn’t help but smile at her comment. I got up and walked towards my closet, “There is no need to worry about him, Lucia.”
 
She blinks, “How so?”
 
I nodded as I began to change into my school uniform, “Because I know so, Lucia.”
 
Lucia crossed her arms, “Oh? Do you know this guy, Akane?”
 
“I do.”
I knew my response intrigued her by the sound of her voice, “So who is this guy then?”
 
I finished buttoning my blouse, “…Its Tsuna…”
 
“Eh?” Lucia blinks as she was hoping she didn’t hear me wrong, “T-Tsuna? As in Tsuna Sawada!?” 
 
“MmmHmmm.” I responded as I finished styling my hair into two high pony tails.
 
“Wha! That’s insane!...I never would imagine a guy like him would be part of the mafia…hmmm…I guess this isn’t bad after all.” Lucia says amazed.
 
“Huh? What you mean by that?”
 
“You won’t have a probem having Tsuna as your future fiancée when you already fancy him already.”Lucia winks at me.
 
My feel my cheeks heat up, “I-I don’t fancy him in that way.”
 
Lucia speaks to me before she leaves my room with a smile plastered on her face, “All I am saying Akane that having Tsuna as your future fiancée isn’t a bad thing.”
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
 *Of course having Tsuna as my future fiancée aint bad at all because I get the chance to make a truce, instead of an engagement, to join our families,* I begin to tell myself as I make my way to school. But knowing Lucia, she always uses double meanings when it comes to give me advise. Agh! I hate that! Why can’t she just simply tell me straight forward. She loves making my head work for it. I couldn’t help but sigh. There is no use to it. I’ll just shrug her words off my head.
 
“Akane!”
 
I herd my named call out infront of me. I looked up to see Tsuna. I smiled, “Ah Tsuna! Good morning.”
 
“Good Morning! Huh? Is everything ok?” Tsuna asked since he saw me sigh out of frustration.
 
I nodded with a smile, “Of course, Tsu-Kun. Just lil frustrated with Lucia this morning because she woke me up so early.”
 
“I see. So u-um how are we gonna keep this engagement a secret?” He asked as I walked beside him.
 
I set a singer on my chin. I began to ponder, “Hmmm…well I could simply just say to keep it to ourselves. Yet the thing that worries me is my Godfather.”
 
“Eh? Why?”
 
“Well…I am not sure but Reborn will eventually let everyone know that I am your fiancée.”
 
“EHHHHHH!” Tsuna had a frightful expression plastered on his, “Your kidding right? You acutally think he would do something like that to us?” Tsuna could imagine that Reborn is capable of doing something like that just to torture him, but to his own Goddaughter?
 
“Not to me, but mostly towards you though.”
 
“What! Why would he do something like that?!”
 
I shrugged, “I am not sure. I highly doubt that because I attend the same school as you do. He won’t try to expose my engagement with you in school or in public, or much less in the mafia world.”
 
“That’s odd. How come he will expose you?” Tsuna look at me, yet I wasn’t looking back at him as we both walked side by side. My vision remained on the concrete path.
 
“Since I am the only remaining heir of the Harlequin family. If the other mafia families were to find about that fact, they will try to capture me or kill me.”
 
Tsuna was shocked by my response, “W-Why would they do such a thing?!”
 
“I am not completely sure why though…all I know that many mafioso families want to wish to have my family to be completely wiped. I had always thought to believe maybe the reason is because they fear our Mafioso clan. I mean…I am part of the Harlequin…the Harelquin clan that mafiosos fear.”
 
((((((Tsuna’s Point of View)))))
 
Tsuna stares at Akane as they walked side by side. He notices the frown on Akane’s face as she mention the reason that she believes the reason why various mafia families want her dead. Tsuna’s eyes frowned. Gokudera’s words rang through his thoughts:
 
“Harlequin is a mafia family that consists ‘Slayers’, which are every hit man’s and every mafia family’s right-hand-man’s nightmare.  Twelve years ago they were a very brutal group of Mafioso that they became elite Mafioso family at the time until they were wiped out.”
 
It still amazes him how suck a girl like Akane be part such family. Him and Akane have became such good friends, and to see her frown like that made him sad.
 
“Tsu-Kun?”
 
Akane’s voice took hold of his consciousness. He wasn’t aware that he was spaced out as he thought of Gokudera’s words, and ontop of that, Akane’s face was exacly right infront of his. He could feel his cheeks burn. “A-Akane…W-What’s wrong?”
 
She pouted cutely, “Neh Tsu-Kun you ok? You space out a little.”
 
“N-No. I am fine. What makes you think there is something wrong?” Tsuna could feel his face getting warmer as she leans in her face closer to his. Her face is just inches away.
 
“You sure? Because I’ve been calling your name for the past minute.”
 
“Oh He He, Sorry Akane,” Tsuna scratched his head, “I didn’t realize that you did. I was just thinking about what you said.”
 
Akane stepped back, “Oh I see. Well there no use of thinking about it, silly.”
 
“Why not? Aren’t you afraid that someone will find you and kill you Akane?”
 
Akane shook her head and smiled at Tsuna, “Of course I do, but I have always had my subordinates, and my God father to watch over me. I know that with this intertwine of our families help ease this fear of mine.”
 
“Akane…” Tsuna smiles at Akane. Tsuna is amazed that despite her fear she is able to smile, “I promise you that day will come.” Tsuna helds out his pinky.
 
 
((((((Akane’s Point of View)))))
 
I couldn’t help but smile as Tsuna reaches out to me his pinky. “Pinky Promise?” Tsuna nodded his head as I wrapped my pinky with his.
