Lazura: By the way they still call Nadeshiko by 'Serena' that way no one could find out her secret. Oh and you should listen to the KHR drama cd on 'Proof of Friendship'!
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR at all except my ocs.
Everyone was busy finishing paperwork in the meeting room.
Asari was playing his flute for awhile until G tells him to stop playing, "Ugetsu, don't make anymore noise!"
Next Lampo was scolded for sleeping including receiving a punch from G, "Lampo, wake up!"
"Oh dear," I sighed as I continued reading through each paperwork. Lampo and G continued to argue leading to Knuckle siding with G. Asari ended up having to stop before anything else happens.
"Calm down, calm down, don't make Lampo to cry. If he can't do it, then he can't do it." Asari spoke trying to calm G.
Lampo chided with Asari,"Yeah! That's right."
"Jeez, you're too soft." G complained.
"Is that all? I'm going to take a break." Alaude looked annoyed and wanted to leave.
"I even have work to do." Daemon did the same as well.
"Wait, you two." I stopped them from leaving, G continued for me,"Hey, wait for Primo, he has something to tell us."
Primo didn't respond.
Did he have something in his mind? ...oh wait. It's about that.
Flash Back...
Three days before...
Serena went to visit a friend of Brando's who went by the name of Talbot.
Upon reaching the store she found none other than Giotto stepping out from the shop.
"Giotto? What're you doing?" Serena asked surprising Giotto by tapping his shoulder.
"That's my line. What are you doing here?"
"I asked you first."
"Aha...You got me there, Serena." Giotto laughed.
Giotto explained to me that he was planning on giving the rest of the guardians(including me) something to treasure our friendship. Thus he'd been going out to plan for dinner on the day it would be finished.
"Then! I'll help you!" I was really happy that Giotto allowed me to help him.
End of Flash Back...
I kept my promise in helping him prepare for it, however I think G and some of the other guardians are catching on.
"Primo?" G snapped Giotto back to reality.
"Hmm? Oh."
"What's wrong? You have something in mind?"
"No... I'm fine." Giotto cleared the misinterpretation,"Everyone, I'll leave the rest to you."
G turned to the rest of us,"Fine, you guys can relax."
"It doesn't matter how you look at it, it's still the same." Knuckle noted.
Serena nodded,"Right."
Asari glanced at the clock, "It's almost time for lunch."
"Oh! What if we all went out to eat lunch together." Knuckle suggested.
"Oh, I'm not hungry." Giotto refused.
Knuckle's face had a surprised look.
"Huh? What's wrong? You're not coming?"
"I have things to do. I'll see you later." Giotto was about to leave the meeting room until G stopped him.
"Hey, I'll come with you, or better yet, all six of us go."
"No... I'm fine, I'll go alone." Giotto headed toward the door, "Goodbye, everyone."
"Actually, I just realized I have to go too. Brando told me he wanted me to get something." Serena got up from her chair,"I'll see you all later."
After excusing herself, Serena rushed out the door in a hurry.
Ah...I hope they don't get any ideas on following Giotto.
Guardians Side of the Story...
Daemon rubbed his chin, "It's strange, no? That he leaves in a rush. Serena also."
Alaude glared at Daemon, "What are you trying to say?"
Demon Spade smirked while closing his eyes, "Nothing... I have nothing to say."
"What happened? Seems like there's something wrong." Asari pondered.
Knuckle faced G,"Is this the first time?"
"No." G's face grew grim as he answered, "It's been two days he's been going out. Serena would also leave a few minutes after he left."
"Could it be that Primo has a lover?" Lampo brought up coming up with an idea, "Maybe he's been going out with Serena."
Alaude's eyes narrowed at the lighting guardian.
Lampo flinched upon receiving a glare, however he got his payback by getting a punch from G,"Ngh! Jeez! It wasn't necessary to hit me!"
"Kids should be kept quiet!"
Daemon spoke after, "A girlfriend would be fine."
"Huh?" G gave a 'are you nuts?' face to Daemon.
"If we put a thought in that possibility," Daemon returned to his point, "Serena could be that lover."
Alaude's temper began to rise slowly.
"It's true that we don't know so much things." Knuckle pointed out, "There's THAT possibility."
"That's true. Primo has been very quiet, like if he's keeping a secret. Serena did the same when she told us the truth about herself." Asari reminded them,"And on the inside, they hide it, like a departed place without keys."
"Ah! Exactly! And what if Primo and Serena gets captured by a person..." Knuckle made an 'Aha!' facial expression.
"Primo will probably think of what to do and Serena is capable of doing the same." Daemon gave an example of the two. "For example, he won't let himself give up just for that and I doubt Serena isn't that stupid of doing that."
"I don't like this." Alaude turned away from the group, his anger was off the charts, "I didn't come here just to hear these things."
"Nufufufu, I didn't intend to say that. There is a possibility that she could be dating him secretly behind your back," Daemon made a point.
"Hmph." Alaude had only one thing in that sentence.
If Primo is indeed doing that. I won't hesitate to kill him, even if he's the leader of a vigilant group.
G clicked his tongue,"Tch! I don't want to hear anymore of this absurd story. If it's like that, I'm going to go investigate."
Asari looked over to Knuckle,"What do you think?"
"We won't gain anything if we just worry about it. Let's go find Primo." Knuckle stood his ground.
"That's right. If we lose time, something could happen." G sounded like in a rush.
Knuckle noticed Alaude leaving, "You leaving, Alaude? We even have things to talk about."
"Do what you like."
Knuckle stopped Alaude by the shoulder, "Hey, wait! What if the Boss is in trouble?"
"Who is the Boss?" Alaude removed himself easily from Knuckle's grasp, "I don't follow anyone..."
Once Alaude left them.
The guardian's had one thought in common while sweat dropping.
We definitely pissed off Alaude for mentioning Serena to be Primo's 'assumed' lover.
~Guardians following Giotto while Serena helping the restaurant Owners~
At the restaurant, Serena had made it out the restaurant just before Primo and the other guardians.
"Oh you guys made it just in time." Serena smiled at the shocked guardians minus Giotto, Daemon, and Alaude.
"Serena?" Asari began.
"Did you know what Primo was planning also?" Lampo continued.
Serena shrugged her shoulders, "I guess you can say that. All I did was help with the preparations."
~Time Skip~
They were pointing out what Giotto had been doing this whole time, I found it funny when Giotto told me the story of what Asari, G, Lampo, and Knuckle did when they scrambled into the store talking about a knife. The conversation went to the point where they thought I was dating Giotto behind Alaude's back!
"Hey..." I eyed the rest of the guardians especially Alaude, "Don't make any stupid assumptions until you have proof. I only helped Giotto with this preparation."
"Same as Serena said. You shouldn't assume at first, then go straight to a conclusion that's not been confirmed." Giotto backed me up.
"I hope you didn't think the same Alaude." Serena muttered to the man sitting next to her.
"Hn." Unfortunately he did.
Soon they went into a discussion about Talbot.
Lampo asked,"Then...what's with that weird store?"
"While I was talking to Secondo, that store had been recommended." Giotto gave a compliment about Talbot.
"Ah...is that so?" Asari responded.
G eyed Giotto, "What kind of business did you have there?"
"Today, I went to get something." Giotto brought out a box holding of what looked like seven golden pocket watches and one golden pendant.
"I had ordered these for everyone."
Giotto handed me the pendant while everyone else got the pocket watch.
"Like the pocket watches, Serena's pendant is the same."
I opened the pendant to find a similar engrave in Italian stating 'A vow of eternal friendship' on the bottom was the clockwork part.
"Thank you. I'll...no, I hope that we'll treasure this wonderful gift from you." We all smiled(yes Alaude smiled) there like one big happy family.
Lazura: It's almost dreading toward chapter 12, and probably chapter 13 will be an epilogue.
