Japan Airlines heading to Italy
In the middle of soaring in the sky…
First Class
Nana is sitting on a comfortable chair, next to her, Tsuna is sitting by the window as they both are watching a movie on the screen that was attached back of the chair, in front of them. With headphones attached to it. His caramel-eyes lit up with interested. The movie he is watching called, 'The Tale of Rain' that was suggested by his friends from Arcobaleno.
Tsuna nearly gasped while Nana entwined her fingers, pressed against her chest when one of the main characters, a young barely man named, 'Osamu' an actor played by Gelaro, finally caught up to another main character, a young girl, 'Misumi' an actress played by Rizona.
[Osamu panted as he has been running long and fast to finally catch up to her. The dark grey cloud appeared in the sky and the sound of thunder heard in the distance. His stormy grey eyes stared at the young girl with long, wavy blonde hair and wide black eyes. "…why?" he asked with baffled. He took a step forward as his hands clenched. "Why?!" he demanded to know the answers.
Misumi bit her lip as her eyes starting to clear crystal. She stared at him with a miserable face. "I'm so sorry." She choked up as tears are threatening to spill.
"Yo-you promise… you said that you will stay by my side!" Osamu swallowed dryly as he took another step toward her.
The blonde-haired girl shook her head as she closed her eyes tightly. "I shouldn't have promised you! I shouldn't promise anything! But I was too foolish and stupid! I should've known this is too good to last…" she hiccups softly as her hands grabbed her dress tightly.
Thunder heard once again, and the sounds of wind came. Soon, the rain pouring down from the dark grey clouds. Soaked two people in the middle of the road, uncaring about the wet water and the cold. "I'm sorry… I have no choice…" Misumi turned around, attempt to run however, she was caught in arms by Osamu.
Osamu hugged her tightly in his arms. "…don't…. don't say that… just… just stay." He whispered, pleading and buried his face onto her hair.
"Osamu-kun." Misumi whispered softly as she opened her eyes and tears fell. Osamu squeezes her in his arms. "….it's too late."
Osamu jerked his head back in shocked as he opened his mouth but then froze with petrified when Misumi transformed to liquid-like. "N-no… no, no, no…" he denied as he shook his head. His wide fear eyes stared at Misumi's blank eyes.
"I haven't been able to live long but… I don't regret this, thank you for showing me how to live my life. It has been the best moments for me, Osamu-kun." Misumi smiles beautifully at him. "I really did, truly had fun… thank you… for everything." Then, slowly she dissolved.
"NO!" Osamu tried to hold onto to her, but it was futile. "No, no, no, no, no, no! Misumi-chan!" he jerked his head back and forth to find her. But she was already gone, and he dropped his knees as tears shed. "….I haven't… I didn't get a chance… to tell you… that I love you." He choked as he covered his face, cried in heartbreak.]
Tsuna is nearly crying by the sad scene in this film. 'So sad! Misumi-chan always alone and when Osamu-kun finally showed her how to live in a life with happiness and love. However, she will never know that he loves her, no matter what and doesn't care about her supernatural beings. Sometimes love can be heartbreaking.' He mused, feeling sad for Osamu. Meanwhile, Nana covered her mouth with teary eyes. Believe it or not, they both are suckers for emotional movies.

Nana and Tsuna arrived in Italy with their luggage and bags in hands. They scanned their surroundings when Nana informed Tsuna about someone who will take them to the destination. When a mother's false blue eyes landed on a man standing with a group of people who are carried a card-paper with names. It's a tall man with short brown hair, narrowed bright green eyes, tan skin, and dressed in a black business suit. He is holding a card-paper in Japanese names.
Yun & Sora
Nana smiles wide in relief. "Tsu-kun… there's our ride." She whispered to her son softly and Tsuna glanced over where his mother pointed it out. They quickly walked up to a man with a friendly smile. "Hello, I'm Yun and this is Sora-chan." Nana introduced herself politely.
The man bowed respectfully. "Welcome to Italy, Yun-san, Sora-san. My name is Turmeric. My job is to take you to see my boss." He said in nicely Japanese language.
"Okay." Nana nodded her head, she and her son followed Turmeric outside of the building to the black SUV car. Turmeric not unkindly took the luggage and bags in the trunk while Nana and Tsuna climbed in the backseat. When the tall man finished, he went to the driver seat and immediately start the car.
A vibrant alerted Nana from her jacket's pocket. She grabbed her cellphone, flipped it open and beamed with excitement when she saw a message from him.
From: Kikyo
SUB: Can't wait to see you!
[Are you in Italy yet?]
Nana replied with giddy and happy to her friend that she and 'Sora' is in the country and now heading to see the boss.
From: Kikyo
SUB: Can't wait to see you!
[Wonderful! Let me know when you are available, I would love to take you to this nice café for lunch. Will that be acceptable for you?]
A single mother bit her lips. She wants to get to know better with the photographer man, however, she couldn't leave her son alone doing his modeling job. Her fake blue eyes glanced at her son who is smiling while enjoying the scenery through the window. Nana slumped her shoulders slightly. Her eyes glanced back at the message with disappointed. She responds that she couldn't leave 'Sora' alone since the model is her responsibility. Then another message from the photographer man.
From: Kikyo
SUB: Can't wait to see you!
[I understand.]
Nana frowned with upset then perked up with interested when she got another message.
From: Kikyo
SUB: Can't wait to see you!
[Then let me know of Sora-darling's schedule. Then I can come and visit you and Sora-chan.]
Her eyes widen in surprise as her heart beating fast with happiness. 'He is nothing not like that man.' She couldn't help but compare Kikyo and her ex-husband. Then she shook her head. 'No, my ex-husband is nothing like Kikyo-kun. I shouldn't compare them at all. In fact, Kikyo-kun is Kikyo-kun. He is no one to compare.' She mused with satisfied and respond back to her crush that she will inform him of schedules. Then, Nana closed her flip cell phone and smiles brightly. She can't wait to see him again, it's been months.

Vongola CEO Office
Time: Afternoon of 12:46
The mother and her son greeted an elderly man who smiles at them with twinkles eyes. "Hello, thank you for coming here." He greeted them with a grandfatherly look. "My name is Timoteo Vongola. But please, called me Nono."
"Thank you for having us and the opportunity for Sora-chan, Nono-san." Nana bowed with politely as Tsuna followed his mother's action.
Timoteo folded his fingers on top of his desk. "Well, it's all thanks to Sora-chan's excellent skills and talented when it comes to her job. She received many positive feedbacks. How can I deny her chance to flourish her talent in the stardom world?" Tsuna blushes with embarrassed yet flattered. "Now… are you both aware of the project?"
"Hai, the perfume that is called, 'Seven Deadly Sins', right?" Timoteo nodded his head and Nana continued. "It will be in a commercial film from what I've learned. And Sora-chan will be working with the Varia."
Timoteo nodded his head once again with a satisfied smile. "That is correct. This project won't take place in the same location, it requires traveling to certain places. Tell me, do you know anything about Halloween in Italy?" Nana and Tsuna shook their head. "I see… there are quite a few places that have stories, legends, and myths in Italy. Such as Devil's Bridge in Borgo a Mozzano, or the medieval walled town of Corinaldo, and even an inland village in northwestern Italy's Liguria region. Here, these are the location's information and schedules for Sora-chan." The elderly man handed the document packets and a sheet of schedules to Nana.
"Wow…" Nana hummed after she gently grabbed the papers and overlook it. "It seems that you'll be very busy, Sora-chan." She said to her son who also glanced at the papers as well. "Does that mean we'll be having a lot of transportation?" she asked with concerned.
The elder man shook his head. "Instead of staying at the hotel and drive all different directions. We will be provided you and Sora-chan a trailer RV. Each od Sora-chan's partner is already at their own destination. You both don't have to worry too much about it." Nana and Tsuna was a relief to hear that. "Do you have any concern questions?"
Nana shook her head. "No, I believe we've got everything covered."
"Excellent. I will have one of my staff to lead you both the RV where you're staying for a while." The manager and the petite model stood up. "I look forward to seeing this project success." Tsuna smiles shyly at the elder man and left with Nana out of the office as they are followed one of the staffs.

Location: Vongola Parking Lots
Time: Afternoon of 1:23
Tsuna blinked owlishly at the large black RV that is attached to the back of the black SUV. He assumed this trailer RV is where he'll spend resting. 'I've seen this one before… isn't this what a lot of famous people used for break and sometimes lives in it?' he mused with wondered and interested.
"Sora-chan." Tsuna snapped out of it when he heard his mother called out to him. The petite model turned his attention to his mother who is standing next to a short man. The man has long, wavy green hair, wide black eyes, pale skin, a scar across his face, and he wears black suits with a red dress shirt, black tie, black leather shoes, and a pink stuffed bunny in his arms. His face was blank as his emotionless eyes stared at Tsuna.
Tsuna sweatdropped. 'He…looks really creepy.' He mused as he walked up to his mother. Nana beamed at her son and politely introduced to each other. "Sora-chan, this is Daisy. He's the photographer for this project. This is Sora-chan." The petite model bowed politely with nervous and Daisy tilted his head.
"We start tomorrow. Rest." Daisy blunted then tipped his head and headed to the different a different trailer RV.
Nana and Tsuna stared at the dark photographer. "Isn't he interesting?" Nana smiles widely as flowers bloom appeared behind her. Tsuna sweatdropped at his mother but smiles fondly. Then, the mother and her son walked to the black RV, climbed inside and was pleasantly stunned at the place inside of the RV.
Inside of the RV, there's leather couch facing the flat-screen television that is attached on the wall, underneath the flat screen is an electric-fireplace, on the left side is a mini-fancy kitchen along with a table and four matching chairs. On the other side, there are two doors, one lead to the master bedroom and other leads to the bathroom. It looks like a mini-apartment and perfect size for two people. "Wow! This is a lovely RV!" Nana chirped with amazed while Tsuna gap at it.
'…I think I'm starting to understand why people like to live in RV.' Tsuna mused, awed.

Parco dei Mostri [The Park of the Monsters]
Date: October 27th
Time: Morning of 7:29
When they reached the destination. Tsuna and Nana were amazed to see some of the large sculptures of monsters and mythical creatures in the distance. They glanced at each other with wondered and curious of this park.
Nana turned to a driver who has been driving the SUV. "Excuse me, what is this place?" she asked with curiosity.
"Ah… this place is Parco dei Mostri. The park of the monsters filled with bizarre and fascinating sculptures. There are war elephant, a monstrous fish-head, and a giant tearing another giant in half. It's like a 16th-century horror show built in a lovely Italian garden." The driver explained happily, with a thick accent in Japanese.
"Ah… sounds very interesting." Nana whispered with amaze. Then she thanked the man and turned to her son, she explains easily for him which Tsuna was surprised.
"Yun! Sora-darling!" Nana and Tsuna turned their attention to a familiar voice that once belonged to a man who is waving at them with a charming smile on his face.
Nana's eyes twinkle with excited. "Kikyo-kun, you came!" she is happy to see her crush/friend. Kikyo has his teal hair tied up high-ponytail, gold leaf-shape earring on his left ear, and he wears a white dress shirt with a black vest, a black trench coat over it, a loose dark teal scarf, black jeans, and black boots.
Kikyo winked at the manager. "Of course. It's been three months since I've seen you both." He said, with a pleasant tone. Tsuna smiles back at the photographer, he really likes this man who has been kind and patient to him. Plus, Kikyo made his mother happy, so that's a bonus.
"VOI!" Tsuna jumped in shocked, he has not expected to hear such a loud volume from strong lungs. His caramel-eyes turned to the direction where the shouted was from. He blinked a few times when he saw a tall man with long white hair, standing while shouting at the dark photographer.
Nana tilted her head. "I wonder if that man is your partner?" she grabbed her son's hand and dragged him toward to them while avoiding staffs whoa re bring cameras and props. And Kikyo followed them with amused eyes. When they arrived, the white-haired man stopped his yelling when he saw them. He glared at them as Tsuna flinched ins surprised. 'He…reminded me of a shark!' he mused with nervous.
"Hello, my name is Yun. This is Sora, I'm her manager." Nana introduced herself and her son happily.
The white-haired man frowned. "Superbia, Squalo." Squalo introduced himself in flawless Japanese as he crossed his arms.
"Hello, Daisy." Kikyo greeted his long-time friend. The dark photographer tipped his head and squeeze his stuffed bunny. "I'm here to support." He answered his silent friend's question.
Kikyo watched with interested smiles when Daisy glanced at the white-haired idol than to petite model. "Orgoglio. Meaning Pride." He blurted it out, emotionlessly. Now he can explain the story of this theme of Seven Deadly Sins. "A story of a Spirito Volpe e sua Padrona. Meaning, Spirit Fox and his Mistress. It's Fox's pride to serve his Mistress. Fox can't get enough of his Mistress, he is very insatiable to the point that he won't let her go. She is his, belongs to him. She is his Pride." He explained very, choppy and straight to the point. Three pair of eyes stared at the short photographer blankly.
Kikyo chuckled softly. "It seems to be that Pride is a theme today for the commercial film. Spirit Fox and his Mistress… that's old folklore, in Italian version. Would you like me to explain to them?" he asked his friend who nods once. "Alright then, this tale is a very long so to make it short… Spirito Volpe e sua Padrona, many centuries ago, a spirit fox was born from the soul of hellfire. He grew up as a fox form and was treated like a God by mortals for decades until he gained a magic power. Mortals are afraid of him because of his dangerous power of hellfire, they soon resented him, fear him, and betrayed him in the end. He's been all alone for centuries until a young lady came by and saved him from loneliness. The fox decided to show his gratitude and loyalty to the mortal lady. Eventually, he fell in love with her and became the prideful fox. He made the mortal lady into his Mistress, they both share life-force and his Mistress unlocked his special ability, is that he can grow an extra tail for every one hundred years of age. The fox is very insatiable in life, so it's up to his Mistress to satisfy him whenever he is in a mood." Kikyo explained the long story short version.
"Oh my… this version is different from Japan." Nana said with interested. She can't wait to see how this Pride theme goes. Kikyo smiles at her while Squalo huffed softly and Tsuna was fascinating by the tale.
Daisy turned his head to one of the Make-Up Artists who is dressed in punk-style. "Ellie."
Ellie winked at Daisy with knowingly smile. She walked to Tsuna. "Come with me, sweetie. Time for a makeover." Ellie gently dragged the petite model to one of the RV.
Squalo narrowed his eyes when he watched the petite model disappeared inside the RV. Then he turned away and saw a different Make-Up Artist that he is familiar with. "Anna." He tipped his head, greeted the mid-twenties woman. Anna smiles softly at the white-haired idol.
"Please come with me." Anna beckoned the idol to one of the different RV.
Then, the dark photographer turned around and scanned his surroundings. "Start with the door." He pointed at the location to the staffs who understood.
Nana glanced at the short man with curious. "Are you familiar with filming camera?" she asked softly.
"Photographer, director, and cameraperson." Daisy simply explained his professions which amazed the manager.
Then the manager turned to Kikyo with curious. "Do you have other skill besides photograph and model?"
Kikyo shoves his hands into his trench coat pockets while watching the staffs prepared with filmmaking gear and tools. "Hmm… I'm not too bad with mechanical." He answered with a soft smile.
"Ah… that's right. If I remember right, your father is a mechanic." Nana remembered that he did mention about his father also owned a repair shop. Kikyo looked pleasant surprise that a petite manager remembered his background.
"That's correct. Does your family have an occupation?" Kikyo asked with curious as he genuinely wants to learn about the manager.
Nana tilted her head with contemplative. "Hmmm… I don't know. I've been an orphan since I was three years old." She replied, nonchalant.
The photographer was shocked. He didn't expect such a sweet, cheerful and optimistic manager would have something dark in the past. "O-oh… Sono così dispiaciuto per la tua perdita." Kikyo unintentionally slipped his native tongue with sympathy.
The mother attempted to translate in her mind. '…I'm so sorry for your loss… no one ever says that to me before… not even my ex-husband.' Then a beautiful smile appeared on her face. "It's a long time ago, plus, I don't remember my parents. So, I thought, why to dwell on the past when you could have a much brighter in the future with a positive mind and attitude." Nana said with sparkling eyes.
Kikyo stared at her in awed then soon, smiles at her with softening eyes. "Smart." Nana beamed at him.
"Voiii! Did you just say that we'll be doing this shitty film for hours?" Nana and Kikyo snapped their attention to the voice and was startled by Squalo's appearance.
Squalo has a scowl on his face as he stared at emotionless Daisy. The white-haired idol is very attractive-looking with a costume. He wears cobalt shade of blue sheer tank tops, a left cobalt-blue long glove from his bicep to his fingertips with black belt attached around his bicep and a black belt attached around his wrist. Black right fingerless glove with cobalt-blue belt attached around his wrist, black harem pants with cobalt belts attached around his ankles, navy-blue scarf wrapped around his hips along with a thin rope of marigold-yellow with silver bell attached at the end, silver-gold with sapphire gemstones jewelry attached to his barefoot making 'illusion shoes', azure-blue leather choker with silver bell, and a few thin braids in his long hair with azure-blue ribbons. On top of his white-hair, is a pair of fox ears with sapphire hoop earrings, a sharp navy-blue fang-shape tattooed on his cheeks, black eyeliner to make his eyes sharper and fox-slant arctic-blue contact eyes.
"Yes." Daisy deadpanned. Squalo twitched with annoyed then sighed loudly and crossed his arms.
Nana observed the Spirit Fox with amazed. "Wow… he truly looks like a spirit fox…" it's amazing how much make-up and costumes can make anyone looks so different. Kikyo hummed with agreed, he too, was amazed and loved it whenever he took pictures of it.
"U-umm…" a shy voice speaks up from behind. Nana and Kikyo turned around and stunned by the petite model's appearance. It was one of the most stunningly and surprisingly transformations.
Tsuna wears azure-blue strapless mini-dress that reached down to his mid-thighs, a thin silver-gold chain-belt wrapped around his waist with sapphire gemstones attached, a cobalt-blue formal uchikake with beautiful designed of gold and silver foxes, sun, moon, and bells over the dress as it barely touches the ground, navy-blue block heels with black belt-like wrapped around his ankles, black leather choker, and sapphire rhinestones painted close to his left collarbone in fox head shape-tribal. His waist-length hair is now dutch waterfall braid into a ponytail with azure-blue ribbons, marigold-yellow hair-comb shaped of a fox attached to his hair, navy-blue chic cat-eye makeup, black lipstick, and fingernails are covered with black polished.
"You look very stunning, Sora-darling." Kikyo compliment to a petite model. Tsuna blushed softly with a small smile. Nana agreed with her friend/crush as she beamed at her beautiful son.
Then, Daisy walked to them with Squalo followed behind. When the dark photographer overlooks at the petite model's appearance then his eyes glint with approval. He turned to one of the staffs nearby who is holding a packet, the staff went to him and handed out a small packet to everyone. "This is a manuscript for the Pride theme." The staff explained and his attention to the white-haired idol and petite model. "It tells you what you need to act in front of the camera. And there's bold and bracket on it, it means actions, and underline means options, and italic means improv. Understand?" he received nodded heads. "Good."
Daisy stared at the idol and a model then pointed at the location. "Start there." He walked to the small group where the filming camera is with equipment and rolling stool. The staff gave his professional smiles and quickly follow the director/cameraperson/photographer.
Squalo and Tsuna glanced at their manuscript quietly until the petite model blushed heavily while white-haired idol raised his eyebrow but shrugged his shoulders, calmly.
While Nana and Kikyo have already finished reading the manuscript. Nana was kind of concern for her son since she knew how shy he truly is. Kikyo glanced at Squalo. "Per favore sii gentile con lei. Lei è nuova a questa vita di celebrità." [Please be kind to her. She's new to this celebrity life.]
Squalo glanced at Kikyo with the blank face then turned away. "Lo so." [I know.]
"You'll do great, Sora-chan." Nana placed her hand on her son's shoulder, assured him with her warm smile.
Tsuna smiles weakly at his mother as he nodded his head. Then he glanced at his partner who observed the location. The petite model glanced at the first scene that will be taken. It's an interesting entrance of a monster face with a large open mouth as a door with two teeth on top. Large nose, big eyes, and high cheeks bones. It reminded Tsuna of a screaming monster.
"Good luck." Kikyo smiles at the petite model who handed the manuscript to the manager. Tsuna smiles back at the photographer and carefully walked to the location with Squalo followed behind.

Date: Oct. 27th Scene: 1B Take: 01
"…action!"
Sora walked carefully out of the 'mouth' of a monster as the sunlight shines on the stone stairways that covered with overgrown creeping thyme and veins. Her caramel eyes took in the scenery in front of her as she tried to ignore the audiences and camera toward her in the distant. Then, Squalo walked out of the 'mouth', toward to Sora and immediately embraced her from behind. His left-hand touches her stomach and his right hand barely touch her inner thigh.
"Hhhiiieee!" Sora yelped in shocked with heavy blushed.
"Cut!"
Squalo steps away as he is eyeing at the embarrassed petite model. "S-s-sorry!" Sora squeaked with guilty eyes. The white-haired idol glanced at Daisy who stared blankly then glanced at Kikyo who tilted his head. Daisy then turned his attention back to the scene in front of him.
"We'll go again."
The white-haired idol turned his head to Sora. "Voi." Sora glanced at Squalo with a timid face. "Trust me." Her eyes widen in surprise at his sharp determined fox-eyes. Then, after a couple of heartbeats, Sora nodded her head.
[Scene: 1B
Take: 02]
Sora stood on top of the stairs, with the 'mouth' door behind her. She carefully observed her surrounding until Squalo walked out of the 'mouth' door with graceful. He creeps up to Sora and immediately embraced her from behind. His left-hand touches her stomach and his right hand barely touch her inner thigh.
Sora immediately closed her eyes as she put her trust in her partner. Then Squalo pressed his cheek against her temple as his eye stared down at the camera, calmly. Sora carefully lifted her hand to reach her partner's hair and carefully play with it as her eyes are half-way open when she tilted her head.
"And cut!"
Daisy nods his head once that he is satisfied with this scene. "Now to the next location."
.
.
.
[Scene: 2B
Take: 08]
The location is the old-fashioned aged of a tilted tower. On the tower, Sora leaned against it with her back on it. While Squalo is close to her, facing her as he is playing, twirling Sora's hair around with his fingers. The petite model shyly glanced up at his eyes when Squalo leaned forward, close to her face.
Sora fluttered her eyes closed one she felt Squalo's lips touch on her forehead. Her heart beats fast as Squalo's warm breath blew on her bare forehead. Then Squalo wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her to his chest and he placed his chin on top of her head. The embrace between the fox spirit and his mistress are intimate.
After a couple of heartbeats, Squalo gently released Sora from his arms. He took a step back, not unkindly grabbed her forearms and dragged her to the pathway between the wall. Until they disappeared from the camera sights.
"And cut!"
Daisy glanced at one of the staffs who nodded their head and start gathered the equipment while Nana and Kikyo stood back, observed. "It took her a few tries. But not bad for a beginner." Kikyo said softly.
"Sora-chan is not used to acting… even though it's only a commercial film, it's a huge step up to her career." Nana speaks up as she watched the staffs handed a bottle of water to Tsuna who thanked them and gently take the bottle.
The teal-haired man crossed his arms with a thoughtful face. "It's possible that once this commercial film is successful, then there will companies and agencies ask for Sora to act in films."
Nana glanced at him with surprise. "You think she'll be in movies?"
"Ah, no. I mean, more like, in a few months, she might get a small role. It is a hard road for a beginner as a celebrity. To land a large role won't be easy, especially there are many talented famous people out there. It takes a lot of experiences, recognizable, and talents for it."
The manager nodded her head with understanding. "I see. I'm actually looking forward to that."
"Me too." Nana turned to Kikyo with confused and he continued. "It would be nice to watch over Sora's growth, and how she starts rising herself in the stardom world." He said with a proud smile.
Nana's heart started to beat a little fast. '…would Tsu-kun's father knew, still here, would he…would he say that with a proud look?' she mused with curious, sad, and little bit aching. Even though they are divorced, she couldn't help but still loved that man. 'I wonder where he is and what he is doing right now?'
"Yun?" Nana snapped out of it and blinked at a concerned photographer. "Are you okay? You went somewhere for five minutes…"
The manager blinked once again, shook her head then smiles at Kikyo. "I'm fine. I was thinking too deep. But, thanks for snapping me out." Nana assured the worried man.
"If you say so." Kikyo smiles at her then tilted his head. "We're heading to the next location. Come on." Nana nodded her head and followed him to the next set.

[Scene: 3B
Take: 12]
The set was a long bench made of stones with overgrown veins and patches of grasses and flowers. On the bench, Squalo is sitting with Sora on his lap. The petite model hangs her left arm around his shoulders, her right arm dangling on her side as her sleeve slowly slipping to show off her bare shoulder and her eyes stared at his fox-eyes.
Squalo has his arm wrapped around her waist, while his other hand gently touches her neck. He leaned down and brush his nose against Sora's jawline. Almost as if he is smelling her exquisite scent. Sora turned her head, bare her neck to the spirit fox. The white-haired man gently pecked her neck lightly as Sora's cheeks turned red. Then she fluttered her eyes shut when Squalo pressed his forehead against hers.
"And cut!"
The dark photographer seemed satisfied with this scene then glanced at one of the staffs. "Take a break, we will go over it and possibly re-take scenes. No change yet." He gave out straight to the point instructions.
.
.
Time: Afternoon of 5:46
Tsuna sighed with relief as he sat down on a chair and scanned his surroundings, there are few staffs hanging around while chatting and he can see his mother talking to Kikyo. He didn't see the dark photographer but assumed is looking over the recording tapes. The petite model leaned back as he closed his eyes. He never thought he would have to act such intimate with Squalo, it was rather awkward and intense for him.
However, thanks to Squalo who told him to have trust. That's the most important in this kind of job, give someone your trust and things became rather tolerable. Although, there is one thing that Tsuna couldn't help but think about it. 'Squalo-kun… I wonder if that's norma-'
"Voiii!" Tsuna jerked as he snapped his head up at Squalo who stared at him with sharp eyes. "You are not bad at this for beginner trash." Tsuna sweatdropped, was this man insulting him or complimenting him?
Squalo sat down on the chair a few feet away from Tsuna and crossed his arms. "But beware for the aggressive in this world." He warned the petite model.
Tsuna frowned with confused. "Aggressive?"
"The life in stardom world is not paradise. It's not hell either. It depends on how you fight." Squalo narrowed his eyes. "You are a freelance, correct?" Tsuna nodded his head. "Then it'll be very challenging for you, without help from companies or agencies, you will meet many battles."
"I-I don't understand… wh-what battles?" Tsuna remembered this kind of conversation, where and when did he have this talk before?
"Stardom is a war, there are many kinds of battles and you always have to prepare for it. Every day when you step out of your home. It's important to have allies."
Tsuna furrowed his eyebrows, still confused and lost. "I still don't understand…"
Squalo clicked his tongue and stared at the petite model. "You are young and inexperienced. Of course, you wouldn't understand this."
"Th-then why tell me?" Tsuna frowned with curious.
The white-haired man stared up at the sky in silent then sighed. "You reminded me of someone." He whispered softly then lifted his left hand, curled his fingers in and out slowly. Tsuna could hear the faint sounds of metallic which his caramel-eyes gazed on the hand.
Squalo noticed the stared at his left hand. Then dropped it on his lap and looked away. "Keep in mind, you are new to this world, it may seem like paradise to you. However, it's not. But it's not hell either. Only a war with multiplies different battles." He jumped off the chair smoothly, glanced at Tsuna from the corner of his eyes, and huffed softly. "…but you won't be fighting alone." Then he walked away.
Tsuna stared at the white-haired man with most perplexed by Squalo's mystery warning and advice. 'I…I don't understand…' his eyes lowered with lost.
A war with multiplies different battles, didn't someone tell him this before?

A tall man with chin-length pale, red hair along with nose-length bangs, dark pink eyes, red flame tattoo on the right side of his face, fair skin, and wears a white shirt with staff vest, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black hat to cover the half of his face. His name is G and he is leaning against the tree with a phone on his ear. While his dark pink eyes are on a petite model across another side on a chair. Chatting to a white-haired idol man.
"Nothing suspicious?" a voice asked with concerned and curious.
G narrowed his eyes. "No. So far, it's just typical job."
A sighed heard from the other side of the phone. "Well, since this is only the first day for Sora, right?"
"Correct, according to her schedules and the locations are different each day." G informed calmly as he already memorized it a while ago. "I assumed you want me to keep an eye on her until she returns back to her hometown." He knew his best friend well enough since they are childhood friends.
Sheepishly chuckled heard. "If you don't mind, that is." G sighed softly. "I'll take that as a yes. I just want to make sure she is safe and far away from possible danger."
"Does she even have UR-Blood type?" G asked with a slight skeptic.
"Alaude is researching it right now. We'll get the answers soon in a couple of days."
G leaned forward with a frowned as he watched Sora and Squalo exchanged their conversation. "Let's say that she did have UR-Blood type, then we can't leave her unprotected, even when she'll return to Japan. Plus, she's a freelance, that means she has no protection."
"I know, G… that's why I trust you to watch over her for the meantime. If she truly did have UR-Blood, then I will make arrangements for Sora's official bodyguard."
"And how are you going to do that? She is a freelance, it would be very suspicious to get her a bodyguard out of nowhere."
"Then her bodyguard will have to be undercover. Don't worry, G. I have figured it out all the possible outcome once we have the answers."
"If not UR-Blood type?"
"Then she is safe, that's all the matter. I just want to make sure, this is a precaution, so please be patient with me, G."
G rolled his eyes. The things he does for his best friend. "Curse your bleeding gold heart."
A warm chuckled heard. "Ah, but you did say it's one of my best qualities."
"No, I said it's one of your most annoying qualities. Your lover is the one who told you that, which I'm still questioning how the hell you manage to get one." G deadpanned and could see his best friend crestfallen dramatically and prepared for the whine.
"G!" a whine as G called it. His pale pink eyes noticed the white-haired man left the petite model alone, looking very lost with questioning eyes. He tilted his head, carefully observed the model.
"Do you think it's a possibility that you have any relatives left?" G blurted it out with curious then cringe as he clearly remembered his best friend has no memories of the biological family.
"…I don't know. Why?"
G felt awful to ask since he knew how much Giotto wanted to meet his real biological relative. "…Sora… she kind of reminds me of you."
"Ah… believe it or not, you're not the only one. Elena mentioned that to me, and even my love said it too. I have observed her, I can see some resemble. Although her features are softer than mine."
"Think you both might share the same blood?" G said, with hopeful for his best friend.
"I hope not." G was surprised to hear this. "Because if she is my relative… then that means it's possible that she shares the same blood that I used to have, before, you know… and… if he is alive… or whatever something is going on in the dark...then I fear for her life, G."
The pale-red-haired man grimaced. "Or she might not be your relative at all. She might not have UR-Blood type. Just happened to look a little bit like you and that's all." G said with possible theories.
"Maybe…"
G snapped his head when he could hear his 'boss' order to return back to work. "I have to go."
"Alright, report to me later tonight. Oh, and G?" G hummed. "…it would be nice if she is my relative." The man smiles sadly.
"Later Giotto."
"Bye." G hang up, shove his phone in his pocket and walked to the area while keeping his eyes on the petite model. Although, he can't deny is that Sora does remind him of his best friend.
