Reflection in the Mirror

Just like he had anticipated, there was someone waiting for him by the port of The Underworld. It was a strict looking woman with plain blonde hair piercing red eyes.

She made beeline towards him, the moment he set foot down on the unstable wood.

"Mr. Black?"

Well, Camelia sure did work fast. Hide nodded and looked at the moment with a pleasant smile.

"I am, I guess Donna Fleur sent you?"

"Yes, please come with me. We are heading towards the city center to sign up for the tournament."

"Last minute sign up?"

"Please Hurry up"

Hide laughed and nodded towards the woman politely.

"Lead the way madam"

With a curt now, the woman started leading her towards the black car waiting for them. He should probably ask her name but for now, let him have a few minutes to himself.

Once they were seated inside the car, the driver started the engine and raced towards the city center, breaking more than a few traffic rules. Not like they existed in the Underworld anyway.

Turning once again towards him, the woman handed her a fake tattoo and a file to read.

"It is pleasure to meet you Mr. Daniel"

"Of course, thank you for your help"

He casually discarded his jacket and pulled the sleeve of his dress shirt up, allowing the woman to apply the fake tattoo. It took a few minutes and the woman's hands were calloused and hard, it was obvious that she was used to combat and hardwork from the slight muscle he could see from under the clothes she was wearing.

Hide then opened the file and almost laughed, glancing over it and finishing it in only a minute or two. He then gave the file back to the wo- Ms.Adonis Rover. The right hand Woman of Donna Camelia Fleur.

And his alias was Judas (ironic really) , the new addition of the Fleur familigia. He was supposedly 22 years old this year and he was  a poison specialist. Oh Camelia wasn't pulling any punches here huh? To name his alias after a tree meaning betrayal and even make him specialist on his worst skill.

This was a challenge.

And he was going to take it.

"I'm looking forward to working with you Adonis."

"I could say the same Judas"

They shared a grin, knowing that the challenge had been accepted. Now, they just have to see which side will come out victorious.

The car came to stop and Adonis exited the car, motioning for Hide (now Judas) to follow after her. The lower ranking member just did that, and a black haired man left the car.

His blue eyes trailing and taking everything they saw with caution.

Adonis led him towards the front desk of the small two story building. The young rookie could only follow and watch as she did most of the talking before the fat man demanded for Judas's mark.

With a nervous gulp, Judas unbuttoned his sleeve and pushed it back, showing the tattoo of a skull with thorned rose growing from it.

Seemingly satisfied, the man nodded and filled his name into the tournament registry.

And that out of the way Adonis once again led Judas back into the car and told the driver to head towards the Fleur famiglia mansion.

"Your ability is really convenient isn't it Judas?"

"Ｙ-You think so?"

"I do, I hope you can bring us victory Mr. Black"

The tiniest bit of chuckle left the pale young man's lips and glowing amethyst eyes peeked at her between the mess of black spiky hair.

"I will do my best Ms.Adonis~"

He purred before the young man positively sunk into his chair, his hands fidgeting nervously.

"C-Can I know when I will fight?"

"Tomorrow afternoon~"

"Oh.. I gotta prepare then. I don't know who I'll face and what their weakness is umm…"

He started mumbling as his eyes darted around, hands gesturing to himself about one thing or another. Adonis watched this amusedly, exchanging a look with the quiet driver as the former Don fell into the role of young small time assassin rather easily.

"We're here"

Adonis announced and handed the set of keys to Judas. Who accepted them with trembling hands with a bit of sweat running down his face.

"We shall part ways here Mr.Judas. Rowan is waiting inside for you."

"R-R-Right.."

"Don't worry, he shall take care of you from here on. Please consult him if you have any questions. Goodluck in your battles"

With that Judas was kicked out of the car and could only stand there, watching it drive away….

He faced the mansion in front of him and the ghost of a smirk graced his lips then was replaced with a small frown.

Taking a deep breath, Judas took a step forward and knocked on the door. Entering as it instantly opened for him.

Just like this, Judas's first step towards his destiny was taken. The blue eyed youth unaware of the hurricane in the Underworld he will cause with his mere presence alone.

'Funny, I have a feeling Hide won't appear for a while~'
