They left after a big 'See you later' lunch that Grace had thrown for them, Harriet laughed as the three boys were forced to wear bright ugly party hats. Well, she did, until she was forced to wear one after that it lost any humor it had. Ken growled when he ripped it off as they left the mansion.

It took two weeks until they found the first base. It was still in Italy, but no one knew where it was until they found a drunk scientist babbling about an experiment. Mukuro was ready to kill him, but Harriet managed to talk him into following him back to their base. By seven o'clock the next morning, the base was destroyed, scientists in custody and children were dropped off to various places with tweaked memories.

They were going to the next base when Harriet's nose scrunched up as she smelt Ken, she turned towards the trio. "Ken, when was the last time you took a bath?"

Mukuro looked at her disgruntled as he glared at Ken, who was scratching his head. Chikusa sighed, "we try to get him to take a bath, but he always gets away. It's been almost a month since the last time he took a bath."

"Ah," she nodded her head as she stared at Ken with a determined look. She started to walk away, "I am going to talk to Hermione, I will be back."

"Tch, who the hell is that?" Ken asked Chikusa, who just pushed his glasses up. Mukuro walked away, ready to eavesdrop on Harriet.

"He's a kid," Hermione told her. Her bushy hair was even messier than usual as she worked on something that Harriet couldn't see. "Kids like fun, try making bath time fun. While he is ten years old, he never really had a childhood. Try a bubble bath or toys, wizard toys will probably be better for him."

"Oh, okay," Harriet started to make plans. They are going to have go to one of properties she owns, so they can use the hot tub. She knows she got a house from the Blacks near here. "I have to go shopping," she nodded as she started to make a list. "Talk to you later?"

Hermione smiled, "of course, I will tell Ron you said hello."

The trio and Harriet stood by the hot tub, dressed in swimsuits as various toys floated around. Harriet looked at the bottle, she brought for bubbles, it was scentless. She noticed that Ken really didn't like perfume or anything scented. She looked at the hot tub and started to pour it in. Quickly bubbles started to rise, using the whole bottle wouldn't hurt anyone right?

"Kufufufu, they are overflowing." Mukuro said as he smirked. Ken jumped in without thinking as he laughed, splashing the rest of them.

"I noticed," she honestly didn't care as Ken played in the water. Chikusa hesitantly joined him, she looked at Mukuro. "Aren't you going to join them?"

He turned up his nose, "I am not a child." Harriet wasn't amused and pushed him into the pool that was next to him. He gasped as he came back up, he glared at her. She smiled, mentally cooing at the wet kitten look Mukuro had. You know the one that screams I-am-going-to-kill-you-fear-me-rawr! look, it was adorable.

They spent a couple hours playing in the hot tub and pool before they ate lunch with a clean Ken. Harriet made a note to do this at least once every other week and to find a way for him to get used to taking a real bath. Her children aren't going to walk around smelling on her watch, she thought as she brushed a struggling Ken's hair.

Apparently, they had the brains to finally scatter after they took the second or third laboratory if you count the one Harriet took down, out. Fortunately for them, they got the leader of the Estraneo who willingly gave up the names of everyone for lighter sentences which didn't do much unless he somehow survived two hundred years. It was when they were going after a scientist who Harriet had reluctantly let Mukuro go by himself to chase him down while she trailed after him that Mukuro met his soul mate.

It couldn't be anything else, Harriet thought as the duo fought the scientist without even looking or talking to the other each. Both of them had a manic grin on their face, a match made in hell, she thought. She wasn't really surprised when they got done with the scientist, they turned to each other. Knives flying and trident knocking them away while the owners' laughed until the blond boy pinned Mukuro down.

"Shishishi, I will let you live this time, peasant." Surprisingly, instead of getting mad, Mukuro just laughed. Harriet raised an eyebrow as a floating baby appeared.

"We have no time for you to be playing with other kids." The baby told the prince?

"Mukuro Rokudo."

"Prince Belphegor."

Harriet was proud of Mukuro while she decidedly ignored the body on the ground, he made his very first friend. Who was also a very adorable prince, if what he said was true and the crown were anything to go by. Pietro who was trying to calm down his son who has been fussy since Harriet and the boys left, felt dread and the need to smack his forehead on his desk.
