A/N:

(Fem!Harry) Mira X Colonello

Colonello peered down at the burgundy haired woman that lay sleeping beside him. He smiled softly as he ran a finger along her cheek and watched as her bright green eyes fluttered open. She yawned softly and pressed closer to him, "Col?"

"I didn't want you to wake up alone, kora," Colonello told her as his arms curled around the sleepy red.

Mira yawned again before shifting to press a kiss to his lips, "Mhmm."

He almost groaned at the feeling and regretted that he'd have to leave soon. It was a pain in the ass to keep Mira secret, but he needed to in order to keep her safe from the Mafia. Hell, the whole reason he'd been 'pursuing' Lal was to keep up the image he'd shown the world. In reality, Colonello had lost interest in Lal back when she'd been her student around the time he met Mira. It was hard to pursue someone that would never give you the time of day when you had someone like Mira that well and truly cared for him. He took a deep breath of her lavender and blue berry scent before pulling back earning a low whine from her. He looked at her with a sigh, "Mira, I really want to stay, but..."

Mira pressed a kiss to his cheek and offered him of her warm smiles, "I know, Col, but that doesn't mean we can have some fun before you leave."

Colonello stared at her for a few moments as lust filled him before he claimed her lips. As always, she was right and he would be away for a while so he might enjoy his lover for a little bit longer before leaving.

As Colonello pulled his clothes on after a short shower, he glanced towards the bed where Mira lay sleeping once more. Pausing for a moment to enjoy the sight of his lover, he once again recalled why he wouldn't let the mafia world touch her. The scars that decorated her body from the magical world and even her relatives spoke of how hard her life had been. Mira didn't need even more bullshit being piled on her even if she did have active Flames. Colonello shuddered slightly as her Sky flames brushed against his and sighed deeply as longing filled him. He wanted to stay, but knew he couldn't. Colonello pulled on his shirt and walked over to the bed to take in her scent once more. He pressed a kiss to the scar on her chest earning a soft shiver from Mira before carefully pulling the blanket over her and leaving their room.

Colonello stared at himself in horror as he realized what had happened and immediatly began to curse inside his mind. He hadn't thought taking the curse for Lal would do this to him. Regret filled him as he wondered what Mira was thinking at this moment and what she would think upon realizing what happened. He wouldn't avoid going home, but how would he explain this without Mira hating Lal. Even if he no longer loved Lal as a lover, he still cared for his fellow Rain and former teacher a great deal.

Mira stared at the toddlerized form of her lover and covered her mouth as tears gathered in her eyes. She dropped to her knees and wrapped him in a hug while ignoring the sting of the curse covering him. She burrowed her face in his hair, "Col."

"Mira," He whispered softly, "I..."

"We'll figure out how to free you," Mira promised him as tears dripped from her eyes and a howl of despair filled her mind, "We'll figure this out,"

Colonello leaned into her warm embrace while cursing himself for the pain she's going through. When he got free, Colonello would never hide Mira again.

Colonello stared at Mira in shock as he found himself unable to say anything. So far, the curse had been on them for twenty years, yet Mira hadn't aged a day. When Colonello asked her about it, Mira had finally explained why. She was the 'Mistress of Death' or at least, an avatar for him. All she was required to do was help any trapped souls that she came across pass on properly. In exchange, Mira had more power than the regular magical, powerful flames, immortality that she could extend to her chosen mate, and complete control over her werewolf side. The only time Mira and her mate would die was when they finally chose to. Mira swallowed as she whispered, "At least, it used to be like that. With the curse on you, you'll share the fate of your fellow Arcobaleno. If you die, I'll follow you since you're my chosen mate and I won't lose you."

Colonello broke out of his shock and told her, "You can't, Mira. I don't want you to die just because of me, kora!"

Mira shook her head sending her wavy burgundy hair swishing behind her, "I have suffered so much and lost so much that I can't bear to lose you, Col. You're the only reason I haven't forced Death to take me. You're my reason for living."

Colonello looked into her bright green eyes and saw the truth in her words. Mira wouldn't lose him just like he couldn't stand the thought of losing her.

When the curse was finally broken, Colonello found himself eager to return to Mira, but was stopped by Talbot. When the ancient man spoke, everyone was silent as they stared at him, "Your mate was very helpful in creating this. Tell Ms. Potter that I look forward to the next time she assists me on a project, it has been too long since I met someone like her."

"How do you know Mira?" Colonello demanded while ignoring the shocked looks on everyone's faces.

Talbot smirked slightly, "Simple, her family has been friends of mine for years. They were my finest students when it came to crafting and Alchemy," The ancient man turned as he began to walk away, "I have a soft spot for those that manage to make it through what she did back then. Do not forget just who your bond is to and just who calls you mate. I am fairly sure that she will no longer allow you to hide her."

"I'm not planning on it, old man, kora!" Colonello growled at him while his eyes glowed slightly as his Flames reared up to show his conviction, "I won't hide my Sky any longer even if it would have kept her safe,"

"A Potter safe especially Mira Potter who is tied to Death?" Talbot let out a low laugh, "Not likely, Rain Guardian. Do ensure you give her my regards,"

Colonello watched the man leave with a scowl on his face before turning to do the same. Lal stepping in front of him prevented that, "Colonello, what the hell was that?!"

"That is information that you need not know," Colonello told his fellow Rain earning a shocked look from not only Lal, but everyone else, "Leave me be, I will be around as soon as I can, kora. I have a Sky and mate to go see, kora,"

Without waiting for a reply, Colonello took off with joy filling him. He was finally free!

Mira hugged her rapidly growing mate as tightly as she could and whispered, "I knew you could do it, Col."

"Only because you helped, kora," Colonello told her while hugging her back equally as hard, "How do you know Talbot?"

"He's a family friend and helped me learn most of what I know when it comes to rune magic," Mira let him go and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Now, I think you should go take a bath while I get dinner ready. After that, we'll talk a bit about what happens now and head to bed early,"

"What will happen?" Colonello asked her with a curious look on his face.

Mira offered him a particularly wolfish smile as her eyes gained an amber tint, "I meet those that you've spent time with and see if they're worthy of being pack."

Colonello felt only a hint of worry for everyone. Instead, he was looking forward to how they dealt with Mira's chaotic ways and felt a little sorry for how much pain they'd be going through. He was going to be recording everything while watching with a batch of Mira's special chocolate chip cookies since it was bound to be hilarious.

The former Arcobaleno arrived at the ancient looking wrought iron gate and looked at one another. They looked up when a childlike voice called out, "You guys Colonello's friends?"

To their shock, a pair of twin boys with bright pink and blue hair peered down at them with dark hazel eyes. Reborn was the first one to come out of his shock, "I suppose you could call us that."

"You have to be Reborn then," The one on the right with blue hair commented.

"Agreed, dear brother o'mine," The one on the left with pink hair smirked at them, "Come on in, Alpha said you guys get a free pass into the grounds,"

They looked at one another while attempting to figure out what they meant. The gate swung open and the blue haired boy told them, "Alpha wanted me to tell you to stay on the path. Otherwise, you'll end up dead!"

The twins disappeared moments later and the former Arcobaleno shared another look before walking forward.

By the time they managed to make it to the castle-like mansion, they were all covered in copious amounts of goo, bruises, cuts, and various food products. Reborn was covered in blood and twitched slightly as he walked up beside them. Not even two minutes after they went through the gate, the group had been separated and knocked off the path. It had taken them the better part of an hour to get to this point and meet up once more. As a result, they were not very happy and were ready to kill Colonello. The door to the mansion opened up and a man with wild brown hair appeared, "You actually made it through the course, lucky you."

"That was suppose to happen?" Aria asked in a tight voice.

The man's black eyes glinted as he nodded, "Alpha wanted to make sure you were being her mate's pack."

"So it wasn't Colonello that did this, but his mate?" Fon asked earning another nod from the wild man, "And where may we find them?"

The man snorted softly, "You'll be led to some rooms where you may clean up. Alpha doesn't want to be anywhere near you guys while covered in that stuff."

When they all managed to get cleaned up and changed into clothes that were surprisingly comfortable versions of their usual outfits, they were led into a beautifully done living room area. A pair of french doors laid open revealing a rather large garden beyond where children could be seen playing together. They were directed to sit down by a rather sweet looking blonde woman that quickly disappeared to get them refreshments. Five minutes after their arrival in the room, Colonello entered with a grin, "Hey, kora! You guys made it!"

"What the hell was that all about?!" Skull burst out with a low growl.

"I should charge you for making me go through that," Viper snapped at Colonello.

Various other complaints were given before they settled down with a small burst of Rain Flames coming from Colonello. A child stuck their head in and asked, "Everything alright here, Colo?"

"Everything is fine, Sakura, kora," Colonello smiled warmly at the werewolf pup that looked up at him with bright silvery blue eyes.

"Will Mama be down soon?" The pup's pretty purple hair was pulled into a thick braid that was slowly falling apart.

Colonello nodded as he walked over to the pup and bent down to set his hand on the five year old's head, "She will be, but we're going to be discussing some serious stuff, kora. You little ones need to behave and not try to listen in, okay?"

"Yes, Colo," Sakura nodded with a bright smile, "I'll keep the others back!"

"Go on and play," Colonello lightly ruffled her hair and stood as she darted off.

As the blonde Rain turned back to his fellows, he saw shock on their faces and snickered softly as Lal breathed, "What the hell?"

"Surprised?" Colonello asked earning multiple nods, "I'll keep my explanation short for now as Mira will be here to help me out, kora. For a long time now, I've put up a mask while in the presence of the mafia world. With this mask, I pretended to be someone I wasn't with a few of my actual traits showing. It was all done to protect my lover, my Sky, my Mira, kora,"

Shock fell over them as they stared at the Rain. While they'd known that Colonello was intelligent, they hadn't thought him capable of having a mask like that. Lal burst out, "Wait! What about your love for me?"

Colonello sat down on one of the comfortable couches as he told her, "After being rejected by you for awhile, I just gave up though it wasn't until I had my Mira in my life that I truly lost my feelings for you. I care about you, Lal, but it isn't the love of a lover."

Reborn snorted softly, "I sincerely doubt you-"

"Please do not speak to my mate as if he is an idiot," A soft, yet husky voice sounded from the doorway.

They all stared at the woman that entered the room. She was beautiful with light ivory colored skin and burgundy hair that fell down to her waist in a smooth waves. Bright green eyes peered at them from a heart shaped face as deep crimson colored lips settled into a slight smile. She was on the short side, but had the body of a dancer. The thing that took their attention was the wild feel of her Sky Flames. She was powerful and Colonello was truly bound to her. Colonello stood up with a warm smile on his face and a soft look in his eyes that they hadn't ever seen before, "Mira."

"Col," The woman spoke with a slight British accent, "Introduce me to those that have been apart of your pack since you've been cursed,"

Colonello pulled her into his arms and gestured to each of them as he gave their names. Colonello then said, "Everyone, I want you to meet the love of my life, my mate, my Sky, and everything I've ever wanted in a woman. Everyone, this is Mira Alexandria Potter-Black."

"The mistress of Death," Viper breathed out in a shocked voice earning everyone's attention, "My lady, it is an honor to meet a legend such as yourself,"

"Viper of the Espers," Mira smiled warmly at the man, "I am happy to meet another one and I am truly sorry for your loss. I had a dear friend among your clan and was very distraught to learn of the massacre. If anything, you are welcome here so long as you agree to keep my pack safe while on the grounds,"

"Of course," Viper bowed his head and removed his cowl revealing bright silvery purple eyes that glowed faintly, "It is an honor to help the woman that conquered Voldemort and Death itself to bring peace to magical Britain,"

"For only a short time," Mira breathed out a soft sigh with regret in her eyes, "Magicals can be so narrow minded, but I digress, we have much to discuss,"

Colonello and Mira took their seats with the blonde Rain pulling his Sky to lean against him.

As they lay in bed together hours later, Colonello asked, "What do you think?"

"They'll be good members of the pack though I wish to meet Tsunayoshi, the Varia, Dino, and the others that participated in the battle," Mira told him while nuzzling into his neck, "They will be good allies for our pack and I wish to assist Tsuna in bringing Vongola back to their roots," Mira paused before adding, "Lal was just as you said though she ended up glaring at me for a majority of our meeting. I do not believe that it was due to the pranks that the younger members set up nor the harder trials,"

Colonello let out a soft laugh as he admitted, "I think Lal fell in love with at some point, but never said anything."

"Probably," Mira nipped his neck where a small set of scars sat that were the only outward sign of their mating bond, "You're mine though and she will not be taking you,"

Colonello shivered slightly and rolled them over so that he was on top of Mira, "I know that, kora. Even if she had admitted it back then, I'm glad she didn't. You're mine, kora. I'm never letting you go."

"Good," Mira pressed a kiss to his lips before pulling back and looking at him with desire in her eyes, "Since you've returned to your actual age, I think it's time we enjoy ourselves. I've been without you too long, Mate, and I will not go any longer,"

Colonello let out a soft chuckle as his eyes became half-mast, "No more waiting, kora. I promise."

End. Hope you liked it!
