Leave By Sunset
Part 10 - Fast Cars and Big Mansions

After a few endless hours of walking the girls settled down on one of the many tables lined up, with chairs, outside the pizza restraunt titled 'Peppi's'. Feeling fustrated, Raif slammed her fist down on the plastic table, which was sheltered in the shadows of a large umbrella decorated with the traditional Italian colours, red, white and green. The sound of the fist on plastic echoed in the ookami-jin's ears. She jolted around to look at Raif, her nose wrinkled as a sign of warning. Raif looked up at Ullen, the evil warning she gaze her reminded her of someone. At this thought she flinched, almost freezing on the spot. She then looked over her shoulder, eyes fixed on air. It looked like she was looking at someone with fear, but no one was there. Ullen frowned and looked at Rebel who was about to speak, to break the 'freaky' silence.

"Where are we supposed to be meeting Unzubaru, anyway?"

Ullen raised her hand and placed it above her stinging eyes to keep the sunlight out of them. She glanced around.

"Here...right..."

Ullen was about to finish her sentence when she was interrupted by the sound of a roaring engine zooming down the street. People leapt out of the way quickly, cursing in Italian, as the red car pushed past them all at top speed. Rebel frowned and folded her arms, watching the car. She was supprised to see it drive up to the sidewalk beside them. Raif looked around, curious to what was making the noise. She then shot up, almost hitting her head on the umbrella above her.

"Shite! Thats a Ferrari!"

Ullen narrowed her bitter eyes, trying to make out who was the driver but she couldn't, not even her unhuman eyes could look past the dark window to figure out who was the black figure inside.

The door swung open a split second after the purring engine was switched off. Large boots hit the side walk as the figure stood up, his large, black, leather trench coat brushed across the floor. He removed a pair of red tinted sunglasses from his face and put them above his black, red tipped, fringe. His hair was dark, it had a red shine to it in the fierce sunlight, and was styled in a scruffy sort of fashion. He lifted a hand wrapped in bandages to scratch the back of his head. His devil red eyes looked directly at Ullen.

"So...are we going today or next year?"

His voice was supprisinly deep, it almost sounded evil. Ullen's face lit up with happiness (for once) as she lept out of her seat to hug the young adult.

"Unzubaru!"

Rebel smirked, eyeing Unzubaru and Ullen.

"So this is your cousin, ey?"

Raif stared at Unzubaru, time seemed to stand still all of a sudden. There was something about him, something she didn't like. It was his grin, his smirk, his evil smirk and his fangs. It all reminded her of the kitsune-Jin she used to know, Loki...She could hear his voice muttering demon words in her mind.

Rebel gaze Raif a gental nudge.

"Raif...Raif?"

Raif blinked and looked at Rebel, holding her head.

"Y-Yeah? Sorry...I kinda zoned out."

Unzubaru frowned, putting his sunglasses back on his face, resting them against his wrinkled nose.

"So we figured...c'mon, lets go fast before that bloody butler realizes I took the car again!"

Unzubaru snarled at the thought of it. He got back into the car and pressed a single button. All of the dark windows wound themselves down and the roof began to fold down into the boot. The girls just stood there and stared. Unzubaru frowned, he was starting to feel uncomfortable having thee pairs of eyes staring at him.

"...What? You girls never seen a car before?"

A low snarl rumbled in his throat.

"Er...oh..." Rebel blinked and lept into the back with Raif. Ullen had the honor of sitting in the front. It was her uncles car, anyway.

"Right!"

Unzubaru turned on the engine and drove off, forcing people out of this path...yet again.

The Ferrari slowly began to slowly down outside a large gate over looking a large typical Italian garden. The giggling girls began to get quieter as they noticed the large garden...and mansion. Unzubaru frowned as silence filled the area. The only noise that was heard was chirping birds and circkets gathered around the nearby olive trees. He made sure the engine was off before leaping out of the car. Unzubaru approached the large gates and swung them open with one huge push. The girls had followed him out of the car and were waiting for him to approach the mansion so they could follow in after him. Unzubaru rolled his eyes and burst into the gardens, storming up to the mansion. There was an old man dressed in a black suit waiting at the door. He looked angry.

"Mr. Unzubaru Giancarlo! What did I tell you about taking the master's car without permission?"

"Uncle wont mind...so shove it old guy..."

Unzubaru snarled, pushing the butler out of the way of the door so he could enter. He stepped into the large hall and called upstairs.

"OI! ENRIQUE! THEY'RE HERE!"

A blonde haired boy emerged from one of the many rooms upstairs.

"They?"

The boy questioned.

Unzubaru nodded sarcastically before wondering off into one of the rooms of the mansion.

The girls finally wondered in, being followed by the butler. They paused and looked around, catching sight of the boy wondering down the stairs and over to them. He politly bowed his head at Rebel and Raif.

"Ciao, my name is Enrique, and you lovely ladies would be?"

Ullen's face turned red with anger and embarrassment. She stepped in, standing in front of Enrique. She pointed at Rebel.

"She is Rebel..."

Ullen then pointed at Raif.

"And she is Raif...and they're both off limits to Italian flirts..."

Ullen grinned enjoying the angered looked on Enriques face.

"Well I'm not the only 'Italian flirt', I've seen you around Oliver..."

Enrique grinned as Ullen's eye twitched nervously as she clenched her fist tight with growing anger. Rebel blinked and stepped forwards.

"Mind...showing us to our rooms? I can see this is going no where...heh...We have the finals tomorrow, we have to rest up!

Enrique nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, sure. Then after that I suppose you're all going to Venice?"

Enrique smiled, walking back up the stairs.

"Uncle Draco is apparently home."

Ullen smiled slightly as she and her companions followed him upstairs.

"Yeah...I know..."

Raif frowned and then suddenly remembered, Venice! Stefan!
