"I'll come," Miya stated her final decision. She glared at Tsuna, who flinched.

They were waiting for Skull to appear with Hibari. Tsuna and the others disagree to have her enter the Kokuyo base, saying it was dangerous and she should go home and wait for them.

"Miya, it's best for you stay at home. Daemon is dangerous. There could be traps everywhere inside. We don't want you to get hurt." Tsuna reasoned.

"Don't give 10th a headache, woman." Gokudera remarked. "You're better off waiting for us."

"Excuse me, you octopus-head, I'm not like Kyoko and Haru. I can fight and protect myself." Miya replied and glared at Gokudera-kun. "Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm weaker than you. Or did you forget the duel we had which I won on the day you
attack my best friend?"

Gokudera-kun blushed in embarrassment. "T-That was a long time ago! I'm way stronger than you now!"

"Now, now. Miya's right. She's a better fighter than you, Gokudera." Yamamoto-kun raised his hands and gestured the two to calm down.

"Let's go," Reborn said when he sees Skull running closer to them with Hibari chasing behind.

Without further adieu, they entered the together with the help of the Arcobaleno's.


"Ouch!" Miya fell and landed on a hard surface. She glanced around. Her friends are nowhere to be seen. It seems like she's in a room. This large room was filled with books organized on shelves that nailed to the walls. A beautiful and well crafted wooden
table stood in the center of the room. More books were on top of the table.

Miya moved closer to the table. Her eyes wandered across each book. They weren't titled in Japanese but instead they were in Italian. She grabbed a book gently, afraid it will tear just by touching it. She asked herself, "What are these books doing in
a Kokuyo base? Actually, where am I?"

"Good question. But shouldn't you know the answer to this already?" Someone voiced.

It was familiar. That voice was familiar. It's him. "Daemon..." Miya murmured.

"It's been a long time, Miya." The first generation mist guardian appeared in front of him. "Have you been well?"

"In your terms, I could say I'm desperately trying to get him back." She replied. He chuckled. Then he turned serious.

"I'm sorry for what happened." How could a devil like him act so civil with Miya could be a question everyone would ask. In fact all of Primo's guardians loved her. They loved her as a friend, a sister, and in Primo's case, a woman.

"I don't believe you." Miya responded. "If it weren't for your stupidity, Giotto could have stayed in Italy with me. He could have stayed and loved me. He could have lived!" If she saw Daemon's hurt expression, she ignored it.

"I helped Secondo for the family. We were too weak. We should have been strong enough to protect Elena. My reason is more than enough to bring Primo down."

"Which hurt us all. You knew that and yet you assist that fool in his plan to kill Giotto!"

"I did what I believe in. I'm sorry I made you feel pain. But his death was necessary. Elena wants this too."

"My sister would never want that! Rather than having Vongola be feared by others, she wanted us to help those in need! Because of your misunderstanding, everything...everything just fell apart." Miya cried. "Daemon, please stop. You weren't like this.
Before you're kind and funny. I don't want my brother-in-law to do this."

"I'm fighting for what I believe is right, Miya," Daemon reached up to pat her head. She let him do so. Even though they were enemies, they missed each other and missed the fun and jokes they played on the family. "You are very convincing but I'm doing
this for Elena and the Vongola. I stand on my side." She didn't respond, knowing that there will be no point to continue their argument. Tears were stuck in the corner of her eyes but she didn't let them fall. If only Daemon could hear what Elena had said to me before she died...

Silence fell. They both knew better to not talk about this ever again.


"Miya! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Her best friend flied down to the ground and checked for injuries.

"Hehe, I'm fine. No injuries at all. Though, you look like you've got chased by a bear." She laughed at the few scratches on his face.

"Not a bear. A devil." He replied and they both laughed. Then Miya felt Daemon's presence again.

"He's back. Tsuna, go kick his butt."

"I'll try."


"Kyoko. Haru. Chrome. Hey, are you girls listening?" Miya asked her friends. The three were supporting Chrome as she sat on the floor of the Kokuyo base. Tsuna was suppose to continue the fight against Daemon. But Vongola Primo appeared and told Daemon
to stop. Kyoko and Haru were staring at the blonde-haired handsome boss in admiration and small pink blushes.

"Ah sorry! It's just Tsuna-kun's ancestor looks...looks..." Kyoko was loss at her own sentence.

"Hot!" Haru continued. "I'm sure Tsuna-san will become like him!"

"Yes...he has an beautiful aura..." Chrome said, sitting between the two.

"I'm sure Tsuna will turn out to be as hot as him." Miya grinned. Because she knew Tsuna is similar to Giotto when he was a teenage.


She ran as fast as she could. The trees passed her. Her feet felt sore for running so much. They're close. I have to see them again. Please, one more time.

As the trees cleared away, her feet stopped moving. She saw them. Her family. The family she loved and cared for so much.

"Sorella!" Lampo screamed happily. He jumped and hugged her causing her to fall down to the ground.

"Lampo! I've missed you, il mio fratellino." Miya smiled and pinched his cheecks.

"I missed you too! We finally get to see you and look! You're morebeautiful than before." Lampo grinned.

"Are you saying I was ugly before?" She rose an eyebrow. Lampo froze. Before he could even reply, G grabbed his shoulder and moved him away from her so she could stand.

"He means you are as alluring as always." G stated and glared at Lampo. Miya grinned, knowing that Lampo did something wrong before she appeared.

"Awe, you're a flirt as always, G. Even all these years, you can't keep your eyes off of me." She gave him a seducing look.

"W-What! NO!" G stammered. "You're just the same as always. A little girl with no intelligence."

"What did you just say?" Her eyes darkened. They glared at each other.

"Now, now. The two of you shouldn't argue at this wonderful reunion. Now make up." Asari Ugetsu, Miya's favorite person to come to when in conflict, sighed.

"Asari! He's being rude! I am smart! Maybe not as much as him but that's just how genius people like him judge me." Miya said.

Lampo agreed. G glared at the little boy. Miya and Lampo hugged each other in defense.

"Be quiet, you idiots." The oh-so-hot-and-handsome-and-make-girls-pregnant-with-just-a-glare cloud guardian said in a cold tone. Alaude lay his back against a tree with his eyes closed.

"ALAUDE! YOU LOOK AS BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS!" Miya shouted, running up to him and temporarily forgetting the three behind her.

"..." G and Lambo snickered in the back. Miya could hear Asari sighed a second time.

"AND YOU'RE SO QUIET AS ALWAYS!" Miya grinned. Alaude didn't seem like he's angry. But oh he is. The look on his face was unemotional. But Miya knew he's annoyed at her for doing the opposite of what he said.

"Don't make me knock you out, shorty." Miya gasped. He opened his eyes and smirked at her.

"I am no shorty! Just because you're a few inches taller than me doesn't means I'm small!" Miya complained.

"Hmph." He ignored her and walked away. Miya pouted but yelped in surprise when two hands reached to hug her from behind.

"Giotto!" Miya shouted in happiness. Her lover grinned and lay his chin on her right shoulder.

"You smell as sweet as always, love." Giotto smiled at her. "I can eat you up right now."

Miya twitched as his breath tickled her skin. "You're as charming as always, Giotto." They stood in the comfortable position for a while.

The rest smirked, but they let them be. After all, to those two, a day without each other is already too long.
