Alright so I know this chapter has been like way overdue but as you probably noticed I've had other things on my mind. I've hit a wall with this story and I will apologize now if I kill it trying to get over this wall. Thank you guys for reviewing and encouraging me to keep going~! You guys are the best xD Anyways, enjoy!

Reborn is pissed. Like unbelievably pissed. I can actually see it in those big black eyes of his which can only spell disaster. Or pain. I'm not exactly eager to find out which at this point. DIno on the other hand walked away. He didn't even say anything which was odd to say the least. My grandma smiled faintly behind me. My homicidal maniac of a relative sat with an aggravated look on her face but with Grandma around I'm not all that scared of her anymore.

"You want to leave in the middle of your training?"

"Yes...something in me is telling me to go. Rebo-"

I should have anticipated his little foot, but that demonic little baby always gets to me. After landing gracefully behind me his little fedora sheilded his features.

"You can have my student for 30 days. Any longer then that and I will come for her myself."

"That is very gracious of you Reborn, but I fear-"

"30 days. I'll be back in 30 days."

Grandma wasnt happy about it, Caelestis seemed to perk up at it. But neither of them were important. I looked at Romeo who took the hint and pointed to where Dino had walked off to.


Fuwa Fuwa Taimu!


Dino was leaning against the railing staring over the land he called his back yard. It looked like the catapult for hidden valley to me but since it was pretty to look at I didn't say much about it. I don't understand him sometimes though. He's such a clumsy dork but he's a caring clumsy dork. A mafia boss on top of all that. But sometimes I think Dino is just...looking for his security balnket ya know? I know that sounds pretty crazy but to me at least that's what it seems like. He won't hesitate to help anyone no matter what and from what I've heard he's got a pretty good head for business on his shoulders. I'm sure if you add the title Chiavallone to anything of course things would go your way too.

"Hey Dino..."

He turned to look at me and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him. He made a sloppy attempt to grin and turned back to the view. I walked over to him rubbing his back and leaning against the railing.

"Don't worry I'll be back in a month. Now make sure Nina keeps up with her bread making skills, Make sure Felix stays out of my room. Tell Romeo to keep a close eye on my baby-"

"Your baby?"

"Well technically it's your baby but I like to think it's mine too." That sounded funny now that I stop to think about it. Dino puckered his lips in an attempt to hold in his laugh. I like his laugh, it's better then seeing him brood. He's not the brooding person, it just doesn't suit him.

"Make sure she stays clean and healthy and Dont let Azura near her."

He laughed and I couldn't help but smile. He's a better person with a smile, not to mention more attractive. I tilted my head to the side looking at him and for some reason I lost all playfulness.

"I will be back Dino. I promise you that much. Besides even if they are my family by blood, This will always be home to me."

"Toni...Be careful."

I dont know what happened in his head but for some reason he had me caged between him and the railing. His arms were on the rail on either side of me and he was staring down at me.

"I don't care what happens to them but you better come back alive and well."

Why did that sound like a threat? More importantly why did I want to put my arms around him? My body moved before I even had the chance to think about it. My arms snaked up around his neck and he stared down at me like...one of us had to be crazy. It was either that or he was hungry...or- good god!

The next thing I knew I was kissing him. Or her kissed me. One of the two! I felt like jelly in his arms, which were pulling me into his chest instead of on the railing. As grand as it was it was ended by a small coughing sound behind us. Romeo had tried to stop my grandma from walking onto the balcony but he failed. Much to mu irritation.

"Come Antonietta, we must be on our way."

I sighed and let go of Dino, though it was the last thing I wanted to do at that particular moment. Looking back at him he mouthed thirty days to me and I smiled as I walked by him.


Leaving the mansion was probably the weirdest thing Ive ever done. Nina was blubbering, hell even Felix looked sad. Romeo had carried my bag out to the black car that seemed to come out of no where. Nina was telling me to make sure I ate good, even if I didn't like it. She also told me that she was studying the art of making different kinds of bread, so that when I came back I would be able to eat all kinds of bread. That alone was something to look forward to. Dino and Reborn didn't come to see me off though. Romeo had muttered something about business to take care of but we both knew he just didn't want to watch me go.

The drive was long and boring so I'll spare the details. Although the was a tree whose roots looked suspiciously like Matt Bellamy but thats about it. There was no music in the car, no one talked and Celeste as she demands to be called had this killer aura around her the entire time. Talk about awkward. This place is hidden in plain sight though. It awesome! It looked like a mountain but when we drove past the matt bellamy tree there was suddenly a city and people. Most of them had tan skin and red hair which was different. Although I wont lie and say it wasn't awkward getting out of the car. Apparently they haven't seen anyone as pale as me in their little society since my mother was born. My hair looked faded compared theirs as well. My eyes may have been lighter by a shade or two was the only similiarity I shared with any of them.

Damn...I miss the mansion already. Hell I even miss Reborn...the baby not his hellistic ways though.


Okay Im sorry it was short! It was kind of awkward to write I wont even lie. It may sound hilarious but Im not much of a romance writer. I was using all my other shorter stories to test that out. All except my Belial story...She's nuts. I'll update this one when I get home, as Im currently sitting on the (hard uncomfortable but carpeted) floor of my uncles house on his laptop. I know what I want for christmas~! lol anyways thank you for reading!
