Haha, sorry for being late on this chapter. I'm finally free from my exams so I think I have time to update any story. Well except for Mist Guitars. Since I have ZERO thoughts about the next chapter.

Okay, enough babbling, onto the chapter.

--

It's been two months since I've been in the Millifiore family. I've been getting well with the family, and the Funeral Wreaths. Even Zakuro. I mean, he changed, he isnt the same pervert I knew two months ago. He's a bit nicer these days, and, more lazier.

Heh, you think these months were easy and just.. useless, right?

In fact, I havent rested one day since my missions started falling down. It's mission after one. Sometimes I'm alone, somtimes I'm with all of the Funeral Wreaths, and sometimes I'm with one. But as far as now, I havent had one with Kikyou. Bummer.

Well, today we were on a meeting with Byakuran-Sama. I havent seen him since the party, only the hologram would appear and talk to us. But, the real him havent been seen lately by us.

We went to this rather awsome meeting room. Of course it was white, but mixed with silver; tables and chairs. There was this beautiful flower vase. The flowers were light pink, more like the color of strawberry shake. The flowers were young and lively. I kept staring and staring. I didnt notice someone sat next to me.

"You like them, Fio-Chan?" Said the familliar voice of our cloud. I jumped lightly.

"Hey, dont suprise me like that!!" I half screamed. Kikyou chuckled and looked at the roses.

"Hmm, they're surely beautiful. They're nearly as beautiful as you." He said, looking at me. I blushed.

"Hey, saying things like that is really flattering, but dont over do it." I said, sitting down next to him. He sighed and sat there.

Okay, I may be this slow realiser. But I just realised that the room was empty. I looked around, there was no sign of anyone.

I looked at Kikyou who was just looking down, closing his eyes.

"Umm, Kikyou?" I said, stuttering a bit; a mentally kicked myself for that. Kikyou semi-opened his eyes and shifted his vision toward me. I cleared my throat. "W-Well I realised something... Arent we a bit early?"

Suddenly, Kikyou reached out for a lock of my hair and placed it behinde my ear. While he was still holding the hair lock, he spoke. "Quando i suoi capelli è sul retro del sua orecchio, lei guarda più bello.*"

Oh I know exacly what that meant. I flushed and lowered my head. "Like I said, things like that are too flattering... but dont over do it."

The door flung open and Bluebell jumped in. "KIKYOU!! ZAKURO BROKE MY HEART AGAIN!" Said the adorable, blue haired midget.

As she saw in that state, she looked away. "Forget it..." Then she snickered.

I pushed Kikyou's hand away. He chuckled. "Dear Bluebell, didnt I tell you to ignore him. He's just jelouse of your cuteness." Said Kikyou.

Bluebell turned around. "He said I'm ugly...." She pouted. Oh how I wanted to hug the hell out of her.

Then, Zakuro and Daisy entered the hall. Zakuro looked at me, then at Kikyou. "Arent you two a bit early?" He said.

Kikyou nodded. Then, Zakuro and Daisy sat down.

After a not-so-long periode of time, Byakuran entered, smiling as usual. He sat in the last chair in the middle. He looked at us.

"Well, as you all know, I've called you here for a mission. But, not as any mission." He opened, seems like he got into the middle of the subject. "Okay, as you can see, we've been challanged by a family called Hojo. Yes, it's a Japanese family. You will be facing them today. But, be careful, they're a bit strong. Good luck." Finished Byakuran. Oh he likes to make things straight and short.

They all nodded, including me. I felt that eyes were on me. I looked at Zakuro and the rest, they werent looking. I looked back at Kikyou, and yes, he was the one staring at me, and smiling. I dont like it when someone stares at me. I kept my vision straight, not looking at him. Damn, he kept staring. I finally looked back at him and glared.

"Stop staring!" I mouthed at him. He shaked his hea while smirking. I had a feeling that I should choke that bastard!

Kikyou stopped looking at me and got up. Everyone els did. I followed them.

As we were outside, they disscused about the mission on where the site might be. Kikyou couldnt stop looking at me. You know, that's a bit ... uncomfertable.

After they all left, I stayed behind a bit, thinking about something. Kikyou came back to me.

"Fio-Chan." He started "Sorry to interupt your thoughts.. but can I ask you something?" He said.

I blinked a bit, then nodded.

"What's your favourite flower?" He asked. I thought for a bit. It's true that my name is Fiore means I know about flowers but there one type of flowers I know. The type I mention everytime someone asks for flowers.

I smiled brightly "Daisies."

Kikyou nodded then turned around. I opened my mouth to say something. Nothing came out.

I stepped forward and grabbed his hand. He looked back and raised an eyebrow. I blushed bright pink and let go of his hand.

"U-Umm.. Kikyou?"

Kikyou tilted his head, as a sign for me to contineu.

"I-If.. I got sick. Or ever got into the hospital... what would you bring me?" STUPID ME!! I mentally kicked my self as I lowered my head, blushing.

I could hear Kikyou chuckling. "Daisies."

And he left.

I felt my face burn with all shades of red, from the darkest to the brightest. I sighed and started to follow him and rest.

This is going to be one action-filled day.

--

Okay, I said this will be Action filled. But...

Guns?

We're facing with rings, and they're facing with guns.

Okay, now onto my report of the day:

This is Fiore, signing in from our battelfiled.

The status is really bad. I've got something to tell ya: we have stupid weapons; boxes and rings. How is this ever going to help us defeat them?

And they were handsome good looking Japanese people.

Wait!

Someone was more good-looking than the rest of them.

It was Kikyou.

Before I get my ass kicked out there, I would like to say.

....

N-Nothing.

This is Fiore, signing off!

Well, that was what I was thinking. Now...

Guns pointed at us.

Although I'm so freaked out at that time. I didnt show my panic.

They were ready to shoot.

Thank you all, for being here for me.

This is the day that we die.

And Kikyou.. I-

Gun shot was heard, suddenly, a large blockage of water appeard. Bluebell smirked.

"Guns. Pathetic." Said the cute midget.

For a second there, they were frozen, then, they started shooting again. But nothing was hitting us.

I really have to say, the Funeral Wreaths are awsom-

I felt cold metal was on the back of my head. I turned around to find a smirking face of a middle aged man, and next to him was a woman with probably the same age.

"Boo.." the man said, the other woman was pointing a gun at the Funeral Wreaths.

One question:

Why werent they moving?

Kikyou had a worried face that I didnt see before.

He mouthed something to me.

"I'm sorry... Fio-Chan." He said.

I swallowed slowly. Then looking back. The man smirked as I felt the safety go off.

No. I am not dying here.

"Na-uh, Fiore." Said the man. What?

He knew my name.

An-

SHOT
