Kiss The Girl

~.~.~.~

Takayoshi awoke that morning to find Saya was still sound asleep, Ayame had woken up at his movements and got out of the bed quietly. Yuki followed quickly after him with a questioning look on the Star Panther cub's face.

"Shhh, don't say a word Hoshi-chan. I'm just going to find something to eat, I haven't really eaten anything for days."whispered Takayoshi.

Ayame just blinked then yawned before curled back into a tight ball of black fur and silver flames. Yuki purred as he nuzzled his master's scarred cheek, happy that he was back on his feet. But Takayoshi still wasn't a 100%, just enough to stay standing and move around. He didn't feel cold anymore, just hot and a bit clammy and tired. He moved to the bedside table and picked up his epi-pen and stuffed it into his pocket. Couldn't very well go anywhere without that.

Takayoshi had learned that the hard way during the Flame Inheritance when he was fourteen. When Verde's Lightning Bees had attacked and managed to land some hits on him. It sure did angered and scared those that knew about his deadly allergy. It was still very embarrassing to have since besides himself other members of the Vongola carried this very same device for his own sake as a precaution. But only his father and his guardians, his own guardians, Reborn, Lal Mirche, and a few others he could recall.

Taka just shrugged it off and quietly left the room and closed the door behind him. Nobody was here, which was odd. From what he had heard and seen yesterday Saya's mother was here and so were Squalo and that holder of the Mist Pacifier, Viper. When he entered the kitchen he found a note on the table addressed to Saya. "A note for Saya?"thought Takayoshi curiously as he picked up the note.

To Saya:

We left for the base, bring Undecimo once he can safely go back into the cold. Which should be by this afternoon. You can take the air bikes back, oh and Decimo wanted to see you Saya, so go with the young prince, ok?
~Professor Winters

"Why would Otou-san want to see Saya-chan?"wondered Takayoshi, placing the note back down. "What do you think, Yuki-kun?"

"Nyar meow."chirped Yuki.

"Yeah, who knows. Could be nothing, could be something...you never know what's going on in that head of his."chuckled Takayoshi as he fished out an apple and began munching away on it.

But his mind kept trailing away to that strange purplette back in the bedroom. Why was it the only thing he kept seeing was her elegant beauty and eyes that were as unique as the millions of stars in the night sky? Her rich Scottish accent that tickled his ears and her satin smooth raven purple hair...how it had smelt of bramble berries. Oh good heavens, was he falling in love with this girl from the Varia? Was that why Takayoshi felt so at ease around her to let his mask fall and expose his weakness in full view?

"...Oh man, I really am falling in love with Saya."groaned Takayoshi, realization hitting like a tone of bricks.

But it was then Yuki started growling and his Hyper Intuition went off like a blazing siren. A huge BABANG followed by Saya's scream. Takayoshi's eyes went wild in fright then rage as instinct activated his Hyper Will.

"Yuki, Cambio Forma: Ceilo Bestia."he hissed softly.

"Mroar!"snarled Yuki as he changed into a beam of light and hit his master square in the back.

Takayoshi flinched at how painful it was, this was the first time he was using this unique combio forma that only he and his guardians could use. He closed his eyes as his ears were replaced with large fuzzy white tiger ears and a long blazing tail appeared. His black fingerless gloves instantly become XI Claw Gaunlets. He opened his eyes to reveal his red pupils were now slits. In a hurry he raced outside to find a man had Saya pinned to the wall and the worst was Ayame couldn't help her since the explosion had knocked the poor feline out cold.

"Tell me where Vongola Undecimo is, Varia brat!"demanded Brandon.

"N-Never! I'll never tell scum like you that threatens the family!"snarled Saya in a rather Xanxus-like way.

Yep, Saya was Xanxus's child alright but Takayoshi knew she was by far much more gentler then her father outside a fight. It was very odd seeing her Varia side surface out in full swing. With quiet swiftness he raced forward fast enough he left an after image behind. Saya stopped struggling when she saw Takayoshi appear behind the man and swung a clench fist, slashing and catching the man off guard was he let go of her long enough for to be caught and moved away by Takayoshi to safety.

Holding her close with his good arm, shooting daggers at the man that dared lay a hand on the girl who just stol his heart and was a proud member of his father's Vongola Family. These two facts alone were unforgivable! Seeing Takayoshi like this was breath taking for Saya. It was like seeing an entirely different person. and wait was that Yuki's ears and tail he had now?

"You blasted Vongola brat, so you finally showed your face Vongola's Ark Angel."spat the assassin.

"Again! Why can't you guys ever leave me in peace just once!"spat Takayoshi as he moved Saya behind him.

"I could care less, Lord Vongola Undecimo. But orders are orders, and the boss wants you wiped from existance. So, sorry kid."said Brandon, opening up a Lightning Box.

What came out caused Takayoshi to stiffen for a second, only enough that Saya had felt it at what came their way. It was a swarm of Storm Africanized Bees. Saya raced into the cottage while Taka took to trying to evade them like his life depended on it. Which, in reality it did. Takayoshi cussed violently under his breath as again and again the swarm came dangerously close to stinging him But that luck ran out just as Ayame used Combio Forma to become Saya's XI Railguns. The critters caught up to him and started hitting their marks, making Brandon smirk and Saya's eyes to grow dangerously cold.

Violently silver shots of flame hit the assassin and engulfed the bees as the burnette stumbled out, and fell to his hands and knees minutes later. "Takayoshi-sama!"

Saya raced over as Ayame changed back and attacked Brandon, biting and clawing at him as the assassin struggled before stopping all together, dead. Saya brought Takayoshi close to her and saw his throat was swollen as he gasped for breath, coughing violently. The places he had been stung danced with mild embers from the Storm Flames, swollen and spreading. His ember eyes were wild in panic as Yuki dropped the combio forma and stood, meowing in fright at his pant pocket. The symptoms were hitting Takayoshi like a stampeding heard of beasts.

"NYAA!"wailed Yuki as he continued trying to get something out of his master's pocket.

"The Epi-Pen!'realized Saya quickly.

Saya quickly dug into the pocket Yuki was digging at and pulled out the pen and took off the lid. Then took it and stabbed the needle into his leg, earning a gasp of pain from the frightened teen. It didn't take long for the liquid to enter his body and start it's work. Takayoshi, unable to hold his Hyper Will let it fall as Saya held him and disgarded the empty vile from his leg. The medicine within another few minutes finished it's job, removing the danger to the burnette's life. His captivating skyblue eyes opened after having been closed during that time.

"Y-you...saved me, again."blushed Takayoshi as he rubbed his throat.

"Why wouldn't I? I've grown very fond of you...and not just because you're Decimo's heir."blushed Saya shyly.

Takayoshi gave a smile and was blushing, "I am thankful to you, the only girl to steel y heart."

Saya was seriously blushing now at the confession. "I-I-I-I st-stole your h-heart?"

Takayoshi nodded, blushing just as hard.

Ayame and Yuki looked at each other and snickered before going to each of their masters and tackled them so their faces were just inches from each other. Why couldn't they just stop being such idiots and realize what the two felines had noticed all along? That their masters each loved each other.

"Nya nya meow!"meowed Yuki and Ayame.

"Ok, ok I get the picture Ayame! I admit it too, I-I..."

"Your what?"

"I love you Taka-kun, there I said it!"

Takayoshi gave a smile and gently cupped her chin so her odd-eyes met his blue ones. They each pulled close and kissed each other. Ayame and Yuki purred at their job well done. But also from the shadows the ghostly form of Giotto and his wife, Hinote smiled fondly.

"Once again the Vongola has a new pearl for its sky."whispered Giotto, Hinote nodding in agreement as she cuddled up close to the blonde.
