Chapter 1

A girl stared across the field. A fresh breeze flew past her lime green hair, brushing her doll like face ever so lightly. She sighed, closing her eyes. "Sister...how long will it be until I get to see you?" she whispered into the wind.

Felicita's POV

Once again, while I pace around the hallways, I could hear Papa's angry words and lots of crashing. The door opened and Liberta and Nova looked terrified. "Yes sir, we won't every do that again," they said together.

Papa laughed and glared meancingly. "You both should know better," he growled.

The door shut tight once more. I checked over them. "Are you guys okay?" I asked.

Liberta laughed nervously. "Yea, we're okay."

Nova glared at him. "What do you mean? We're grounded you idiot!"

Liberta glared right back.

I giggled. Just then, Jolly walks over to us. "Milady, there is someone here. Make sure you tell your father. Meet everyone else in front of the house," he said.

He walks away, leaving us three confused. Luca rushes by, carrying table cloths and plates. "Mistress! Go wash up and tell Papa that a guest is here!" Luca shouts.

"Why is he on the rush?" Liberta questioned.

"I don't know..." I muttured.

Mondo's POV

I smashed my fist on the table. "You mean she is still alive?!" I shouted.

Dante flinched. "She is coming soon. You must get ready. She took the time to sail over here."

I looked away. Sumire glared at me. "She maybe a stranger to our waters but she is still family."

I sighed. "Alright. We shall see what happens now..."

Normal POV

Everyone was on the edge. Papa stood in front of everyone. A black carriage with black stallions pulled forth. A slim woman stepped out. Everyone's eyes widen except for Papa's, Sumire's, Jolly's, and Dante's. "Welcome, Aria," Papa greeted.

The woman, who was no older then 19 year old Felicita, looked similar to Felicita herself. Except for her green hair that was in a side ponytail and her grey eyes. "Nice to see you again, Papa," she bowed.

Nova swore he has seen her before but nothing clicked together perfectly. "Everyone, this is Aria Bacino. She is from Japan and is going to stay here from now on," Papa bellowed.

Everyone nodded. Felicita blushed. She's so pretty

Aria scanned the crowd. Her eyes widen when she saw Jolly. "Jolly!" she shouted. She ran over and gave him a hug. "It's been so long, Jolly," she smiled.

The rest gasped. "JOLLY, HOW DID YOU KNOW HER?!" Liberta exploded.

"I gave her the oppurtunity to make a contract with the Taracco." Jolly explained.

"So, what card do you have contracted with?" Felicita asked.

Aria let go of Jolly and walked over to Felicita. "Well...should I say, Jolly?" she asked.

Jolly sighed.

"I have...3~!" Aria cried, gesturing 3 fingers.

Felicita's eyes widen.

"3!?" Everyone cried.

Papa, Sumire, and Dante left the party to attend private matters.

"What of the three?" Luca asked.

"L'Imperatrice: The Empress, La Stella: The Star, and Il Diavolo: The Devil," she listed.

Debito's eyes narrowed at the last one. "So...the Devil? How come you chose that, Aria?"

She smiled slyly back. "Who knows?"

Felicita's POV

Aria was certainly beautiful. Her bright green hair reminds me of summer grass in the sunlight. Her smile was dazzling too. "Fel," Nova called.

I turned around. "What is it?"

"Umm, Dante told me that you and Aria will have to share rooms..."

I blushed. "T..tell him that it's okay for her to share rooms with me," I stammared.

Nova nodded and walked away. I turned away and entered my room. I cleaned up a bit. But I wondered where she was going to sleep...?

Suddenly, Aria walked in. Her eyes met mine and she smiled. "Ah, Felicita! I have always wanted to meet you! You father told me lots about you when he met me in Japan 2 years ago. He told me you will succeed him in the future, am I right?"

I nodded and blushed. She sat on my couch. She then patted the seat next to her. I walked over and sat down. "So, Aria, why are you here?"

Aria patted her skirt down. "Well, when I heard about Papa's sickness, I wanted to come over quickly. I am grateful for Mama for she raised me when I was younger. I was abandoned when I was younger. She took me in and made me whole again. But when she left for Regalo, she told me that one day, she will call for me and we shall live together...once again."

I gave Aria a hug. "You're not alone anymore, Aria."

She hugged me back. "Thank you, Fel."

We stayed like that for a while. Somehow, I felt connected to her more than I should be. She was like a sister already

Aria's POV

Fel and I talked even more. Today, we spent the entire day connecting and just acting like sisters. Fel smiled. "You know Aria, you and I, well not including Mama, we're the only girls here. Back then, I was all alone and it was hard trying to stay strong around these boys," Fel laughed.

I nodded. I glanced at the snacks Luca brought in for us. Cheese and crackers, some small sweets, pasteries, and one gift I brought from Japan, sake. I grinned and grabbed the bottle. "Would you like some?" I asked.

Fel glanced questioningly. "What is that?"

"Rice wine," I pointed. I poured two cups. "Just swig it down like wine."

Fel took a small sip. "It's slightly sweet yet it's smooth to the tongue."

I nodded. "Japan is very famous for it. I should take you there sometime."

Fel smiled. I glanced at the clock. It's already 9. "Well...Feli, do you like anyone?" I asked.

She blushed. "W..Wh..What do you mean?" she stuttured.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, is anyone fancy enough for you?"

She looked away. "Well...Nova and Liberta are nice..."

I launched myself on her. "Awww, Feli, Liberta and Nova aren't just nice! They're handsome, strong, and CCCUUUUUTTTTTEEE!" I shouted.

She smacked my head. "Shush it you! What if they hear?"

Now the sake was getting to me. "C'mon!"

Nova's POV

I have not seen Fel the entire day. Liberta and I passed by her room. "Should we go in?" Liberta asked.

I shrugged. Then something caught our attention.

"C'mon!" Aria shouted.

"Shut up! They will hear!" Now that is is Fel...

"Hmm~? What do you mean? Feli, we're both drunk and they know it! Who cares anyways? It's not like they would care!"

"Aria, you take one more swig of that sake, I will have to..."

"To what? Bound me to your bed? Chain me? I didn't know you were into bondage."

Aria's speech was slurred. Liberta's nose was already bleeding. Mine was beginning to but I stopped myself. I opened the door to see Fel alseep already with Aria picking up everything. She yawned and tossed a sake bottle. "Oh~, hello there booyzz," Aria smiled.

She certainly was drunk. Fel groaned and flipped on to her stomach. "What did you guys do?" Liberta asked.

"We had a few drinks...Okay, I had three and Fel and more," Aria giggled.

"LIAR, I had 2," Fel growled. She turned to face us. Her hair was messed up and her pjs were rumpled.

"Fel, are you drunk?" Liberta asked as he helped her up.

"No. hic I'm not!" she protested.

Aria laughed. Her breath reeked of the sake. "WELL, boys, how about you stay with us until we get sobered?" Aria asked.

She was definitely a danger.
