A/N: Thanks to MotherGothelFan1, XxlittlexwitchxX, UroborosTyrant, and Emoen for the lovely reviews. I'm glad you guys like the bonus extra from last chapter. I tried to make it as best as I could to make Pavi's story believable, but who knows? It could happen in that way. Other than that, if there are any possible bonus extras you would like to me to write, I would be glad to write it, but I cannot guarantee I would write it though. Also, I was thinking of another sequel for this, but I think the story would start to drag a lot if I did that. Thankfully, I decided not to go for another sequel after much debate in my mind. And anyways, I think I've got nine other stories I need to finish. Other than that, happy reading! Hope you like this chappie. It's rushed, so it might not interest you. At first, I wanted to make the shopping scene longer, but I found it pointless. I'm sure you guys can imagine how the guys would shop anyways. There's some small Graverobber and Shilo fluff at the end. I know you guys would like that. I'm such a genius (I'm kidding guys!). Rant (please ignore if you don't like to read rants from here on): (Oh my, I made a sad face) I know opinions sometimes matter and sometimes don't, but please don't message me telling my story is boring or if it is not to your taste. I'm sure people can act mature enough and just ignore the story if that is the way the person feels. I'm not forcing you to read it, and I know for sure I don't have that right. I do apologize if I sound mean, but I deserve to rant once in a while. Whew, now that I've got that off my chest, have fun reading.

Chapter Three

The shopping district was full of people (Luigi would prefer to call them peasants, thank you very much). Luigi, Graverobber, and Pavi were forced to go out to buy things on the shopping list the girls made together. Nate had went along because he was dragged along in the spur of the moment. The list contained mostly of items for the triplets and the child assassin along with other things like food. The guys weren't too happy about it since shopping was always meant to be for girls. But for some reason, the guys seemed to be better at shopping than the girls. They found the stuff without any difficulty, and it didn't take that much time for them to buy the long list of items they wanted. Usually, the shopping district doesn't bargain, but they got the things for free (maybe because two of them were Largos or because Luigi threatened the vendor or cashier). When they were done, they thought they would be able to go home without any difficulty since so far nothing happened.

They guessed wrong.

Just as they got all their groceries and other things inside the Largo's long limo while the other things that were far too big for the limo were sent through delivery, one of the Genterns came up to Luigi and Pavi with a message.

"Mr. Luigi Largo and Pavi, I've got a message from Amber Sweet. She told me to tell you both that you guys can go home now," the Gentern said. Luigi and Pavi were evidently shocked by the news for a moment before Luigi growled and pulled out a knife from out of his pants.

"What did you fucking say?" Luigi asked, though it was much more of threatening her to run away or else he would stab her. The Gentern shrieked and started on her heels to get away from him. Luigi thought he would kill her when he got back. He remembered her face, and he was surely going to get her. Just as he thought this, Luigi seemed to have thought of something.

"What are you guys going to do?" Graverobber asked, curious to see what would happen next. He was always the kind that likes to know things.

"What the fuck do you mean? Do what? We already finished our shopping, so all we need to do is go home like our fucking slut of a sister told us to do," Luigi answered. Pavi's shocked expression turned even more shocked by looking at his brother.

"You mean..." Pavi started but Luigi cut him off.

"Yes, you fucking idiot. We're going home," Luigi told him as he put an emphasis on the word "home" once again. He smirked at his brother and Pavi smirked in return.

"Yes, brother. Let's go home," Pavi said.

Graverobber had a suspicion that the Largo brothers weren't talking about the house the Largos were living in before they came to the Wallace house. Nate was the only one who was rather lost at all the emphasis and hints made between the brothers.

Luigi and Pavi then turned to Graverobber and Nate. Luigi had a threatening look on his face while Pavi's was a mystery. The young brother was always hard to figure out since his expressions were always hidden behind a mask; yet even as he wore a face that acted like a real one, it acted like a mask as well. Among the two, Pavi was the hardest to decipher but there were ways to figure him out. One has just got to squint and know.

"You two better not tell anyone about this or else..." Luigi paused and let Graverobber and Nate imagine what would happen. Graverobber put his hands up in surrender and Nate continued to look confused.

"I guess, but I am a little confused," Nate admitted. Pavi laid a hand on the boy's shoulder and sighed.

"It is better off if Nate did not know," Pavi said.

By that time, they went into the limo and headed back to Shilo's house. Silence filled the air among the men. It was quite tense as the guys were rather uncomfortable to be around each other. Luigi showed his dissatisfaction the most while Pavi seemed to have a never ending smile on his face, making it hard to figure what he was really feeling. Graverobber looked away and found looking outside seemed more interesting. Whistling, by now, seemed rather nice to do, but he didn't dare with Luigi's explosive attitude. Nate was rather twirling his thumbs around each other restlessly. He had to remind himself not to shop around the guys ever again.

"Eat," Lina ordered to the child assassin as she got a forkful of what seemed to be some sort of pasta. It had been a week since the child and the triplets stayed. The Repo Man was still unconscious and under survellience by the Largo brothers.

The child glared at her for a moment before opening his mouth. Lina smiled and fed him. As he ate finished, Lina patted the top of the boy's head even though she knew he hated it. She always loved to tease people, and the child assassin was no exception. Lina knew he needed some sort of normalcy in his life, and she tried her best to show it by her actions. She knew very well when an assassin is caught, the duty of the assassin was to kill himself or herself. Lina wasn't going to give him that chance because she was going to help him like her brother helped her but in her own way.

Lina pulled the chair closer to the boy, so their legs almost touched. She stared straight at him and said nothing. The child gave her a quizzical look before he started observing her again. Lina smiled before she crossed her legs soon after. The way she smiled made him feel irritated. The way she stared at him irritated even more. She seemed to enjoy making him angry, yet he tried to keep his cool. In his training, he learned not to show emotions, but it was hard. He had never really learned to grasp his control over his emotions.

Even though he hated her, he somewhat listened to her. He opened his mouth and Lina readily fed him. The child couldn't believe he was eating something good. And of course, his expression showed how much he loved it. His eyes seemed to sparkle at the taste of the food and he licked his lips to show he wanted to eat some more. Lina held a smirk and continued to feed the boy. Because his full attention was on the food, he would never notice her smirk.

After she had fed him finished, she placed the bowl and utensil near the exit before sitting down in front of him again. Lina patted his shoulder and he looked up at her warily. He was still distrustful of the woman in front of him, but he couldn't help but feel relaxed when she was here than that other woman. The emotionless woman who gazed upon him with such empty eyes. It was as if she was more of an assassin than the woman in front of him and even most of the assassins he had known.

"Do you want to hear a story?" Lina asked. The boy glared at her. Lina ignored it by starting.

He still doesn't understand why she would ask him when she would tell it anyways. But for some reason, he always seemed to like her stories, especially of the stars. If he ever escaped, he would look up at the night sky to find his mother and father. He also seemed to enjoy to hear her voice speaking to him in such a normal tone, not that he would ever show or admit it.

"There was once a poor brother and sister. The brother was kind and gentle. The girl was whiny and selfish. But to the brother, she was perfect the way she is. He would have done anything for her. He would even starve and give his portion of food for her to keep her filled. Unfortunately, the girl would not notice. She complained and wanted what every girl had even though she knew they had no money for it. The brother, caring that he is, worked his hardest until his body ached to buy what she wanted. This time the young girl wanted those pretty blue slippers. He bought it for her. She rejoiced. Instead of thanking her brother, she snatched the shoes immediately and wore it the next day for all to see. It wasn't until the brother found love, and his sister was no longer the only one in his world. The sister noticing how his attention was no longer on her that she decided to find a way to break the two lovers apart. Unknown to her, the consequences were quite dire," Lina said before pausing and gave a wide smile. She noticed how the boy seemed to be attentive towards her. He gave a frustrated grunt for her to continue. Lina chuckled and got up. "Until next time, Kid."

The boy frowned and glared at her. She would always do that to him and make him feel all that suspense until the next day. He thought he could get used to it within the week, but he couldn't. It just irritated him.

Lina soon helped him lay on his bed. It was a comfortable bed, the boy had to admit to that, and it was all thanks to the Largo brothers and their keen eyes. He didn't feel tired until he laid on the bed. Sleep seemed to overtake him faster. And for some reason, he seemed safe enough to sleep. Lina smiled and left the room, knowing she could trust the boy enough to leave him.

She went downstairs and found herself confronted by Pavi. Pavi smiled at her, and Lina could only smile back. There was an awkward silence between the two. Usually, Lina had something to say, but she didn't feel like saying anything right then.

"Bella..." he started, but he found himself not able to continue. He noticed how she quirked one of her eyebrows as if waiting for him to continue. He blushed. Blushed? Lina was a little shocked to see him suddenly act like a shy school boy and wondered what the heck was wrong with him. And so she asked.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You're acting different," Lina said before getting closer to him. Pavi was a bit apprehensive when she started getting closer. She noticed when he took a step back as if she was some sort of dog that was ready to attack him. She stopped and eyed him carefully. "Okay, now I'm sure something is wrong. I'm not necessarily a busybody, but you want to tell me something, right?"

"The Pavi wants..." Pavi started. He felt the need to put his hands in his pockets and his shoulders seemed to go up to his neck. There was some sort of cuteness the way he did it, Lina had to admit. He really did look like a shy boy in middle school.

"Yeah?"

"The Pavi wants..." Pavi repeated, but it seemed the words were hard to come out.

"Just say it already," Lina told him, starting to get irritated. She didn't have time for games when she was this tired.

"The Pavi wants to get laid," he told her. Lina stared at him for a moment, trying to register what he said before her face contorted into disgust.

"What the hell does that got to do with me? I told you already, didn't I? You can do whatever you want now just as long as you don't cause any harm to anyone here," she told him before she headed to the kitchen. It was rather clear Lina was angry when her footsteps started to become heavy and her facial expression was a dead giveaway.

Just as she disappeared into the kitchen, Pavi sighed and his shoulders slumped down.

"But Bella, the Pavi wants to make love to you," Pavi whispered before turning away and walked into the living room.

He wondered why he was speechless. The usual Pavi would never be like this. He disliked this Pavi the most. He felt weak like he did long ago. He didn't want to go back to that Pavi. He wasn't going to allow a woman to do this to him. And after that thought, he needed to find a way to make the feeling disappear. Maybe, if he bed her then things will all go back to normal. After all, he may only be smitten with her because he wanted to taint her. Make her beg for him. Maybe then, he would get back to normal. He was going to do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.

Looking out her window, Shilo still had a bad feeling that something was going to happen. Ever since Graverobber and the Largos came, she never really could get rid of the feeling. In all honesty, it may be because she was afraid of the repeat at the Opera. She clenched tightly of her pendant that Graverobber gave her on her birthday.

It was then someone knocked on her door. She was startled for a bit, but she managed to calm her heart. By that time, Graverobber poked his head through the door.

"Someone by the name of Trent is looking for you. Isn't he the guy that Emma talked about the first day I came to your house?" Graverobber asked. Shilo merely smiled.

"Oh, you remembered?" Shilo asked before standing up. Graverobber crossed his arms, feeling a tinge of jealousy inside.

"So who is he anyways?" Graverobber asked. He needed to know the handsome fellow was before he beat him to a pulp if he tried anything to his girl. Hah, it felt nice to Graverobber to think of Shilo in that way.

Shilo gave a small smirk and a mischievous glint came across her expression.

"Are you jealous?" She asked, rather curious of his answer.

"Maybe, if that would get me an answer from you," Graverobber told her before he suddenly hugged her from behind so that their bodies will touch. Shilo blushed at the sudden intimacy and possessiveness.

"You don't need to worry. He won't steal me away from you. He's just my boss," Shilo answered, no longer wanting to play around when she could feel his breath against her neck.

The feeling of being in his arms made her feel tingles from his touch and almost made her moan as well. She wanted to kiss him and show how much she loved him. It was then seconds later, she could feel a nipping against her bare shoulder. She gasped and found Graverobber already starting to mark her. To declare she was already taken. Shilo didn't seem to mind. Didn't seem to fight back because she knew it was his way of showing his affection. She knew he loved her as much as she loved him even though their love is slowly blooming and yet to become ripe.
