I'm feeling so slow... Welp it's still darkish outside so might as well use it while the silence is still pure :3

And the reason Bel can see them inside the shop is beacause the door is open so they can look in through there.

Chapter 7

"VOOOOOOOI! Why the hell did you have to drag me with you to where the Vongola is?" A long blade was randomly slashed through the air.

"Ushishishishi~ Shut up, Sharky. Mammon had to go on a mission and I don't want to bring that homo Lussuria with me. Besides, Levi is weird anyways." A familiar Cheshire style grin was planted under a curtain of blond bangs. "Besides, a peasant like you should be honored to be chosen to accompany the prince on his quest to save his princess."

"VOI! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PEASANT YOU PIECE OF SHIT. I'M CLEARLY YOUR SUPERIOR!" More sword slashes were made as a shower of long silver hair swayed as the swordsman continued his normal routine of irritation release.

"Heh, it doesn't matter since I needed to come here anyways."

"The prince said to shut up Sharky."

Whiz. Chink. Clatter.

Belphegor had thrown three of his knives at his commander, knowing they'd be reflected anyways. Squalo was just too easy to annoy. Ignoring the loud complaints of the said Varia member, the prince sat down on the edge of the shop roof they were on and watched as the Vongola and their friends hurried around in the sushi shop, putting up decorations. "Heh, what losers." He gave his signature laugh, but stopped halfway as he realized there was a familiar face among them. It had been a year or two since she rejected him, and she most-likely forgot about him, but a prince couldn't forget his princess could he? "Found you, Aoi-chan. Ushishishi~"

A chill went down Katana's spine as she stood on her tippy-toes and hung up the last of the streamers. "Done!" She said with and exasperated voice as she leaned back slightly to check their work. Though she wasn't exactly in the best state-of-mind due to several events that day, she fell backwards off the chair she was standing on. "Ah-Oh no!" She kicked her feet and pushed the ladder back to a sturdy position, landing as light as a cat on the floor. Yamamoto, let out an exasperated sigh as he leaned back against the wall, the two earning a deserved break as he watched Aoi direct Tsuna.

"A little more to the left-No no! Right!" Aoi frowned as she watched the brunette try and position the sign on the wall. She shook her blonde locks out and pointed at the upper left corner of the frame. "That's a little crooked. Now a little-Yes! Right there is perfect!" She exclaimed as she strode over and helped him hang it where it was. "A good job for Dame-Tsuna." She cracked a wicked smile, making the two spectators giggle.

Tsuna stepped back as she said her last sentence, and tripped over a chair. "Ahh!"

Crash!

"Haha... Um Aoi-san, how did you find out about that nickname?" He hadn't told her, and surely Yamamoto and Hibari-san wouldn't tell either.

"I heard the kid call you that earlier." She flashed a smile as Reborn sat on Tsuna's head.

"Aoi, do you want to join Tsuna's family?"

"E-Eh? Reborn! Don't just go saying those things!"

"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna. I'm asking if Aoi wants to join the Vongola Family." The statement was so out there that even Yamamoto, Katana, and Aoi were speechless.

This caused Aoi to go on red-alert. "Is it a game?" She cracked a wicked smile.

Reborn expected this. "Yeah. You'll be in the family too."

She smiled. "Alright then kid."

Katana jumped up from Yamamoto's lap. "Hey Aoi! Can Yamamoto and I talk to you for a second? Upstairs?"

"Later Katana."

"Fine then." She waited three seconds. "Aoi~ It's later!" She turned around to face Yamamoto and knelt forward slightly, her hands on her knees. She gave a slightly pouty look. Yamamoto knew where this was going. She had done this a few times just last week. "Ta-ke-shi-chan~" She drew out his name, the way she said his name like that gave him chills, and she knew that. "Can you bring Aoi upstairs? Please?" He smiled and nodded.

"Hai~ Aoi, let's go?" Yamamoto picked her up from behind and lifted her up the stairs to his room, with Katana in his wake.

Katana stopped halfway and looked back with a somewhat sadistic smile on her face. "We'll be borrowing her for a bit." Tsuna was shaking.

"H-How scary..."

"Maa, that's the notorious Kard for you."
