Chapter 4,

Truth about Both

Giotto's POV

I heard a door slam while talking to G. I glanced behind, and saw Daemon walking out of his room, his bangs covering his eyes.

'Weird,'

I though.

'Didn't he just went in? What's he in the hurry to come out for? Did he had a fight with Alaude? Wait, was Alaude even inside?'

"Giotto?"

G spoke, making me turn back to him.

"Ahh, sorry G. but do you mind if I go off for now? I've got some things to take care of. How about discussing this matter next time?"

I told him off politely, hopefully he doesn't read what I was going to do…

G. glance at the direction where Daemon went; I looked, then he replied with a sigh.

"I heard you, Giotto…now hurry up and go before he's gone."

Bam!

Ah, this time was Alaude coming out. He dashed forward at first, so I followed. Man he was fast! I had difficulty catching up. I lost him at certain areas, where there was a bent, but I managed with my hyper intuition. FINALLY, he slowed down to a walk, and I saw what he was doing. He led me out to the open garden, donated by Lampo…-! Ah! He was following Daemon! I guess they really had a fight, and Daemon left the room…with Alaude chasing him? Now that's new. Alaude never did that before. Good thing he didn't realize that I was here…normally he would, but why not today…?

I stared. Alaude was staring at someone else, Daemon. He was falling asleep. Shocked, I stood still. Then when Daemon fall asleep finally, Alaude walked towards him, foot steps kind and soft, it didn't make any sound out of it…I saw him sat beside daemon. Although, it was really weird. I rub my eyes, get a grave posture of myself, to make sure no one knew I was watching someone. Then, I looked again. I nearly fell.

Alaude was kissing Daemon.

After a few seconds, Alaude broke free. He looked at the ocean. I got a view of it from where I was too. I glance and tried to read him. Nothing. His eyes didn't give him away, neither did his face. So then why…? Wait, did he even go into the room I told him to? But G. reported to me saying he didn't…

Alaude, you're full of mysteries. Just like an aloof cloud. Cold, mysterious cloud.

I saw him sneeze. Then looking at my direction. I cursed in my head. Did he know I was here now? I saw his eyes shot at me.

Crap, I cursed in my head. Time to run…!

Daemon's POV

"Nngh-…" I woke up with a start, and saw that I was on Alaude's lap. Shocked, I shot up, then looking around.

"Did I wake you up?" a voice spoke into my ear. I shuddered, then I didn't dare to look back. Although, that voice…

"Alaude…?"

"Hn?"

"Why am I on your lap and why you're here?"

I demanded an answer from him. What's going on? Didn't he hate me? My head was full of unwanted questions. I heard him sigh, and my head turn to face him. Then it struck me. Did he already like me all these while? Ah…maybe I should tease him…it'll be fun! Smirking, I asked him.

"Or is it you care a lot about me, that's why you were waiting for me to fall asleep so you can touch me?"

Well. It's just a guess and lies I told, but immediately he stared at me and blushed. How cute, I though. Enjoying this, I chuckled.

"Looks like I'm right."

He didn't face me, just mumbled something that I couldn't catch. Then he tried to change the subject. Oh well, let's pity him for now. I can tease him later. Let's just go with the 'other topic'.

"G. gave you something while you were asleep…I put it beside you…did you see it?"

Blinking, I frowned. What, G. was the one who gave me the box…? Come to think of it, I didn't open it till now. I searched for it, patting my pockets around. Where did I put it again…? Alaude watched with an amused expression.

"What is it?"

I asked, smirking. Sorry, I can't help not to tease him, he was just way to cute!

"Nothing,"

He mumbled, looking away.

"I didn't know you were so forgetful, forgetting where you put it, pineapple pedo."

He sent a smirk to me. Oh wow, was he teasing me now? Well. This is the famous, smart, sadist…Alaude…

"I didn't,"

Phew, I finally felt a pocket of mine, which had a rough box feeling to it. I took it out, then shot back,

"Want me to open it, Skylark? I bet you're curious what G. gave me, must be some kind of confession."

I joked, and then saw him frown, I chuckled. He blinked. Gosh, he's just too cute…

"Are you jealous that he gave me something?"

I teased him more. Well, his fault for picking this subject to talk about!

"No, curious what he gave you, he told me not to open it no matter what, like it's only for you…"

"Oh? It must be a confession then."

I opened, smirking, but he looked shocked. I stared at his face, and then to the box I was holding. Eye lances? Why did he give me this for? It looks fancy, with some wing-shaped design stuck to it. There seem to be something for you to hold it too. What is he thinking? I'm not short sighted!

"Something fell from it, pedo."

Alaude pointed to a letter with a Vongola red seal that was on the ground, few feet away from me. Grunting, I cursed how it flew there. Standing up, I walked and pick it up, opening it and unfolding it, and then there was Giotto's sky flame burning on the top. (I guess) It says,

"Daemon,

I find this useful for you, after I saw the video from your previous training. Our special 'weapon maker' did it especially for you. Although, he's not trained for fighting. And only I might know him. If it's spoilt, (most unlikely.) come to look for me, and I'll take it to him. Please don't look for him too, it's impossible.

I told Alaude to go to 'the room' we were talking about, but seems so he found your training room before he went into that room. So maybe there'll be times where I'll tell him to go back again. He's strong, after I trained with him I knew his power. Seems so he knows a lot about my hyper dying will bullet and stuffs, highly detailed about the Mafia. He might know how to use that weapon of yours. He knows about the flames and G, Asari, Lampo, Knuckle's weapons. He had already told them how to use it, so everyone's training with them currently. You better start off with yours, before you're at the back.

Alaude even taught me that Bosses of Mafia are normally using sky flames as a seal while writing letters to prove it's from them. So that explains what that flame is on the top, if you don't know.

Good luck with Alaude,

Your Vongola boss,

-Giotto"

What…? Alaude knows about this weapon?

"What does it says?"

He appeared at my right side of my neck to get a view of the letter. I quickly fold it and put it back into the envelop, stuffing it into my jacket pocket. He frowned as I changed the subject. After all, he must NOT see the last few lines…

"You seem to know about this lance. What is this? How do I use it?"

He kept quite at first, hesitating, he told me.

"First. That's a weapon. Most likely from the same place where I got mine. Second, it's called 'devil lance', if you can't read the words carved there."

He pointed to the bottom of the lance, where there WERE words carved in Italian black.

"Third. When you look into this lance, it will review every illusions. Weak ones, to strong ones, to very strong ones. And another function of this thing is to glare with it, and it'll curse anyone to a painful death. But, if it sense deep down your heart you don't mean it, the devil lance won't kill the person, but it'll kill you."

"That's it? That's all it has?"

Alaude shrugged.

"Find out more yourself, I'm not going to tell you everything, stupid pedo."

What...maybe I should tease him.

"Hm…you mention that your weapon came from the person who made mine. Must be fated to have the same person make our weapons."

I smirked.

"Don't push your luck too far, Daemon Spade."

With that, he turned, about to walk away. Ouch, he's back to being cold. Ahw, not fun. Still smirking, I glomp him from the back, whispering into his ear,

"You're so cute, Alaude. Thank you."

He froze, and I glance at his face. I swore I saw him blush. Cute~ he pushed me away, then walking back into the mansion without looking back. I'd always wonder how he survives being so cold towards others.

Alaude's POV

Dang. I nearly lost myself… he keeps teasing me, that pineapple pedo… and he's got a devil lance…got to watch out from him to use that… I heard it's seriously dangerous, a high classed weapon that goes on par with mine. I frowned, remembering Giotto mentioning the weapon to me. Why did I forget about it? Looking at the big clock hanging in the hall, it showed 5.48p.m.

The sun sets fast here, and I was supposed to do some of my jobs before it's too late. I spent too much time with Daemon... no, he was the one who held me back, that pedo. I assured myself that he was the cause. I quickly return to my room, and went to my table to open the drawer. Pulling something deep inside, another drawer came out, this time with many folders in it, separated neatly by letters. They were all mine, of course. I found Daemon's file, and took it out. Getting a new paper and pen, I jolted down,

Weapon made by that old man.

Devil lance.

Quickly putting everything back in place, I pushed my drawer back, then closing the 'fake' one. I flip open my pocket watch to check the time. 5.52p.m. did I really took that long just for that? Cursing in my head, I went to the training room. The door slid open, and I saw all the guardians included Daemon there. He looked at me when I came in, then smirked. I avoided eye contact from him, that stupid, stupid pedo…

"Alaude! That's great, you came. I was about to call Daemon to look for you…"

Giotto smiled. I snorted at him, telling him a 'message', (No need for that.) he seems to understand, as he turn back to everyone and said,

"Well now since everyone's here, shall we exchange some tips according to our very own weapons?"

"Of course, boss."

Asari cheerfully agreed with a smile.

"…this is going to be boring…"

Lampo, however, disagreed as he yawned.

"Tch, Lampo, this is going to be useful so listen carefully to our tips!"

G. scolded Lampo.

"OH! I get it to the KYOGUGEN!"

I sigh. The loud knuckle and his catch phrase 'kyogugen' from Japan. I studied many languages, so I understood. Giotto smiled.

"What about the both of you, Daemon, Alaude? I hope you two don't mind."

Huh? Didn't he know about the both of us? No wait, there's nothing between the both of us…And I glared at him so why…shrugging it off, I just nodded. Daemon seem to agree too. We all started sharing, although I didn't really do most of the talking this time. Everyone know more about their weapons as they train with them. All happily chattering away and I just stood at one side, far from everyone, listening.

"Alaude, what's your weapon?"

A question came to my ears. I looked to see who was talking. It was Asari, but everyone was staring at me, waiting for the answer. I guess they were all curious. At the corner of my eye I saw daemon smirking. He must be the one who told Asari to ask me that question…that…pedo…

"Handcuffs."

I replied, folding my arms, and lean against the wall, not wanting to review them yet. Everyone blinked.

"Handcuffs? How can you use that for a fight?"

Asari thought aloud while facing G.

G. didn't say anything; he just stared shocked at me.

Lampo gave a envious look, saying,

"And I got a stupid shield that protects me and fires lighting, how useless it that? A handcuff is better!"

"But what can it do?"

Knuckle asked. Looking at Lampo.

"Well, without the handcuff Alaude's already strong…"

Giotto pointed out. I snorted. Inwardly I thank him for the compliment. Although I was surprised that Daemon just stared at me, not saying anything.

"Alaude, do you mind showing it to us how you fight with it? I'm really curious, since the training partners will be switched, and only one might see it…"

Giotto asked. I smirked. I'd love to fight someone with my handcuffs; it has been too long since I fought with them. Since all Mafioso's I fought were all so weak.

"Fine. But only ¼ of ¼ it's power. Volunteer?"

I pushed myself off the wall, unclipping my handcuffs from my belt. (That's where I always hid it, in my coat.)

"I don't want anyone to get hurt, so I'll be the one you're fighting with, Alaude."

Giotto came in front of me, getting to battle stance.

Shrugging, I started.

"Better if all of you aren't in the room."

BOOM.

My handcuffs turned black, and cloud flames spill from it, eager to fight. I controlled it, calming the flames down. Everyone in the room was pushed back by force, causing them to hit the training room wall, but Giotto made the first move, pushing him forward with his flames coming from the gloves he fought me with.

"Too slow."

I said, and the battle was over. I swing my handcuffs, causing them to catch Giotto while he was making my way towards me. Then the handcuffs, still gripping him, sent him flying hard against the wall of the training room. A huge hole appeared, revealing the next training room. G was the first to shout.

"GIOTTO!"

He pushed past me, staggering. I could see him struggling to run towards Giotto. The flames emitted from the handcuffs injured him too much. The handcuffs were just too strong. That's why I didn't want to use them… until I fight someone at my level. I went out of the room, closing the door behind me. I stayed there a while, and listened. I could hear everyone's voices…

"That's…that's Alaude's weapon…?"

Asari's voice, it was shaking.

"HUWA! I'm so scared…!"

Lampo…he started crying. I could hear him.

"He's so strong…Boss was thrown to the next training room…"

Knuckle. He said a sentence without the catch phrase. He was serious…

"He said that was ¼ of ¼ the power…"

Daemon…he was shocked too. I walked away, going out of the mansion. I was used to it. That was the usual comments I always get. Always…

If they didn't know much about me, that's good… but if they find out, they would be all scared of me, not allowing me to join Vongola. I was a killer; I don't hold back to kill anyone while I'm in missions…because of that, everyone in the mafia knew me.

Alaude, the 17 year old who killed more than 500 people within less than an hour. That has been a record for me, but that was 2 years ago… But they didn't know why I killed them. They didn't know.

I realized that I wasn't being cold to everyone, but it's how they treat me. It's how they look at me. I hate it. So I treated everyone coldly. After that, I didn't use them anymore…what was I thinking? Granting Giotto's wish to see my weapon's power…

They were the only ones who didn't know about me, since they were the new people in mafia…and I just scared them. The only ones who they could be my friends…

When I stepped out, it was raining. I walked under the rain, then went a tree facing the way 'out' and 'in' of the mansion. Opposite the sea. I sat down, letting the leaves of the tree shield me from every drop. Like how he shield me…I shut my eyes, listening to the sounds of every tear drop from the sky…

Fast paced to next morning (Skip to next morning)

I woke up. I opened my eyes, expecting to see the grass around me, but I saw walls. I'm inside the mansion…? I looked around without sitting up yet. I saw Daemon sitting on a chair beside the left side of my bed, snoring soundly. While Giotto sat on my right, covered with plasters and a few bandages. He's alright…

But why am I here? Aren't they afraid of me? I sat up without waking them up. Then I slip off the bed, only to realize that I was wearing some fresh clothes, without my cuffs on my belt and coat. I smiled, because no one was looking, and because they cared for me. I took the watch that Giotto gave me, wordings carved onto the watch. Flip it open and you'll see your own flame shining.

I rolled up my sleeves, then wore my shoes at the side, carful not to wake them up. Where did they put my coat? I gave a short sigh, then a last glance at the both of them. Daemon looks cute when he's sleeping…and Giotto's looks like he's beaten…(very tired)

I opened the door softly, then I looked around. Where was I? Is this the mansion? I don't remember…looking right and left, it struck me. This was the room that Giotto told me to go into when I was 'ordered' to check how Daemon was doing during the first day of training…

I looked back the room once more, to see why Giotto wanted me to be in this room. There was something special to this room. I looked around, then I saw a study table, pushed to the side. Many photo frames were placed there, and I glance through each one of them slowly. The first one was Giotto, together with G. and a boss from another familiga I knew, Cozorto. Ah! They were the one who started Vongola, with Cozorto, but he started another familiga…

Second picture was Giotto, G, knuckle, Lampo and Daemon standing outside the mansion, each of them smiling and smirking.

Third picture was in the mansion. Giotto's face was black, but still smiling, while G's looking pissed into the camera. Knuckle was behind with Lampo, both wearing girly aprons, filled with black soot, but still laughing. Daemon, the odd one out, as he was the only clean one, laughing.

The stove must have exploded while they were trying to cook or something.

Fourth picture was Lampo's renovating room, filled with butlers and maids helping to fix the room as Lampo desire. Giotto was falling, as he was on a ladder held by G and Knuckle. But Knuckle was raising his arms, must be saying his catch phrase again. Asari looked shocked, Lampo waving his arms in mid- air and Daemon, at the side, painting the wall, while he looked back, and the camera snapped a photo.

Fifth picture. Giotto smacking himself on the forehead, while G and Asari smiled awkwardly, Lampo hanging with his underwear hooked onto something above, while Knuckle tried to get him down, with Daemon standing at the side, laughing.

"That's the picture of us last month, before you came."

A smooth voice spoke. I turned, shocked. I didn't hear them woke up! It was Giotto who spoke. Daemon was looking embarrassed.

"Why show me all these?"

I blurted out. Not really a question I really want to know, just a random question to break the ice.

"To make you feel that Vongola is a place were you feel at home, where everyone here is your family, where everyone here enjoys together."

Giotto smiled.

"But around the time where we realized we really need a cloud guardian, we searched and searched. And found you, but a certain rumor came to our attention…that is you killed 500 Mafioso's less than an hour, making everyone scared of you. But when I first saw you, Daemon mention to me that he saw in your eyes that you're lonely. I too, together with everyone, agreed. So we accepted you here, hoping to see the photos, that's why I called you to be in this room, when you were to find Daemon."

"But when you didn't go into this room, Giotto and the others were worried you might not fit in. I have to keep telling them you're fine."

Daemon looked pissed as he looks at Giotto, but soften when he stares at me. I didn't know what to say. But… I should say this…

"Thank you."

"You're always welcome Alaude. I'm glad you love our familiga. If you don't mind, there will be another photo taking, the day after tomorrow. I'd love to keep a picture of our full familiga. And don't worry, everyone's not afraid of you here. They were just taken aback that day. Everything's normal."

I didn't reply.

"If you excuse me now, I'll take my leave. You have a nice chat with Daemon."

And he left, winking at me. I stared. Was he trying to tell me to do something to Daemon? I looked back at Daemon, and saw him smirk.

"What?"

"Nothing, I've never seen you without your coat, because you're always sleeping later than I am, and waking up earlier than me…you look…handsome without it, you know that?"

My face felt hot, as my eyes widen.

"Pervert, pineapple pedo…Where's my coat?"

He chuckled, and then saying,

"Why not stay with me for a while without it?"

"No way, there's a bed here, you might do something and I-"

My words were cut off as Daemon kissed me. He pulled away after a while,

" You're clever, Alaude. I AM going to do something,"

He chuckled as he pushes me down the bed. I blushed, and with my two arms, I push myself forward, but he pin me down again, this time using MY handcuffs to cuff my wrist together. Cuffing them again to the bed, he smirked and looked at me seductively. My face grew hotter and I avoided his gaze.

"You know, you really look cute while you're blushing."

Daemon cupped my face and made me face him. Then, he gave a gentle kiss. But the gentle part didn't last long, as I didn't want to back down and lose to him.

We ended up making out the whole night, with me under his arms. Tch.

"I Love you, Alaude."
