Hello People! Back again! Sorry that I've been a bit slow in my updates. I would like to focus more on my studies, but also continue this story at the same time. Please bear with me.

Enjoy! ^^

"日本へようこそ" "Welcome to Japan!" The air steward and stewardess greeted as the seven of them got down from their plane. Their luggages were quickly carried and placed in to the fancy limo which they entered afterwards. The airport was filled with a joyous mood and it contrast greatly to the mood of the people in the limo. Tension is in the air and everyone is in a really bad mood.

"Drive us to the hotel." Giotto ordered the chauffeur in perfectly fluent Japanese. The chauffeur nodded slightly and immediately drove off.

"Giotto, why are we going to the hotel? Shouldn't we look for the Varia first?" Asari asked.

"That's right, we have to talk to the Varia and obtained as many information as we can on our enemy." Lampo spoke.

"For once, I agree with the spoilt cow brat. We should find the Varia." G supported.

"I EXTREMELY agree! Our siblings are in danger, we have to do something to help them." Knuckle continued.

"Mufufufu…Let's talk to the Varia now. I can't sit back and do nothing while letting my precious Mukuro and Chrome in danger." Daemon said.

Giotto looked at his guardians and shook his head. "No. We mustn't look for them now."

"Why?" Lampo exclaimed.

"It's too dangerous. Firstly, we have no idea who we are up against, and I'm sure the Varia doesn't know who the enemy is too. It would be pointless to confront them and demand information. Secondly, our siblings are the ones in danger. The reason we sent them here is for their safety. If the enemy is targeting them, we have to be extremely careful. Thirdly, think of where we are. We are in Japan, for goodness sake! The Japanese aren't that opened to Mafia issues. Lastly, the innocent might get hurt. This war will not end until one side falls, but in the midst of it, many civilians might get hurt. We are not here to kill people, at least not the innocent, of course."

After Giotto finished explaining, the guardians nodded their heads curtly and had to admit that Giotto is right. Protecting their siblings and eliminating the enemy is important, but they could not have anyone caught in the middle of it. Giotto heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the guardians are convinced and will not attempt to take any actions. He couldn't bear to imagine the consequences if a fight was to break out, it would be disastrous!

Talking about disastrous, Giotto looked at a certain carnivorous guardian that was unexpectedly quiet.

"Alaude? Is there something wrong?" Giotto asked the cloud guardian.

"No." He replied simply with his usual aloof attitude. Giotto's hyper intuition acted up again. He could feel that something is seriously wrong with Alaude and that he is lying. 'what could he be hiding?' Giotto thought, he hoped that the cloud guardian would not attempt anything rash.

The drive to the hotel was silent, in an uncomfortable way. Giotto wished that there would not be any surprises popping out of nowhere again. "Please watch over them." Giotto prayed to anyone, be it God or Angel.

"Everyone, I can see that you guys didn't sleep a wink on the plane. Use this time to catch some sleep. We wouldn't want to be late for the graduation ceremony in the morning." Giotto said as he stood in the hall of the hotel. "And, don't, I said don't, try anything funny. Is that understood?"

The guardians nodded and replied "Yes.".

Before Giotto left for his room, he stole a peak at Alaude, his hyper intuition acting up, warning him that something is about to happen. However, he don't know what.

That night, during the full moon, when the rest of the guardians and Giotto are sleeping soundly in their beds, a certain guardian got up, grabbed his weapons and left. With one destination in mind- The mansion which the Varia is staying at.

This is a cliffhanger...Doesn't really seemed like one though. Well, my chapters had been getting shorter and shorter. But this is the only way that ensures me to update fast.

Official annoucement : My chapters will not be as long as till 2000+ words. The word count will range from 500-1500. Sorry.
