It had been a relatively simple day for Mamoru. He'd expected his father, [url=https://i.imgur.com/0x7IFbQ.jpg]Akihiko[/url], to be late in getting ready as was the usual, but he was surprisingly in good spirits and ready to move. The sentiment of seeing a good friend wasn't lost on the teen. He smiled and shook his head. He'd dressed himself up formally as was the typical attire of the Simon and Vongola. Especially for meetings like this. It helped that he he had begun home schooling roughly 2 years ago so as to begin his training and induction into the mafia world. So, he didn't need t worry about public school things. 

For as long as anyone could remember though, the Simon and Vongola had been known to break tradition. This was especially noted by the style of suit worn by the heir of the Simon. He wore a [url=https://i.imgur.com/3je9CtD.jpg]custom made suit with a red lining and a hood of all things[/url]. His father wore red as well, though it was in the form of a red undershirt, mostly covered by his black tie and jacket. He had moments of unorthodox decision making and behavior, but he was still a traditional mafioso. As the two began to head for the airport Mamoru noticed Akihiko put on a pair of sunglasses and a hat. It would help hide who he was when traveling, due to spying eyes, even if just a bit. He put on sunglasses of his own and then his hood.

Far away, an unknown onlooker spoke softly to radio information to his allies. "The mice have entered the maze." He said as if trying tofurther mask his behavior. 

"We're the only ones with this radio frequency and it's constantly shifting to avoid compromise. Talk normally you idiot." Another voice, a female responded. The two bickered for a moment, but were soon interrupted. 

"If you two are done. We have our own flight to catch. The time is fast approaching." The voice was female, though it struck a note in the two. Whether it called for fear or obedience was a blurred line, but all the same, she commanded respect and she got it. 

"Yes ma'am." The two responded in unison. 

"Now move." She ordered.

Soon the meeting was underway. Mamoru sat quietly though could occasionally be caught sneaking peeks around the base, the rooms they sat in and the doors when they finally came to the meeting room. The 12th Vongola Boss and his Guardians meeting with the 12th Simon Boss and his Guardians, all for the spectacle of a young man set to become the 13th boss of the Simon Famiglia. And all he was waiting for was his childhood friend. Come to think of it, why hadn't she been here already? She better not have been slacking off while he was gone. 

Then she burst in. Ringo Sawada. In all her quirky, awkwardness he couldn't help but crack a smile. Still it vanished the second his father's guardians looked at him. they'd never let him live that down. "Nice of you to join us, dork." He teased as he stood up to greet her. "How've ya been?" He added as he walked around everyone, stopping only when he was in front of her. He held up his hand for her to take. "Hope you haven't been getting into too much trouble while I was gone."
