-Ok, let´s do one thing. I go to the meeting and get over with this fast, and you can have my credit card and go shopping all day. I won´t be angry with you. Just don't get in the way.

And that was what Hibari said before leaving Haru in the hotel room while he took care of their business in Rome. He can be such an asshole sometimes…

The brunette was going to spend so much money just because of that. She was offended to no limits. Who the hell did he think she was? Just some nuisance? Well for once, she would prove him right. She was going to throw away all the money and but a lot of expensive and useless stuff and then burn it with the credit card right in front of his eyes. Except for that Prada bag, she was going to keep that… After a long and exhausting morning around the most expensive shops in Rome –and every single cake shop she could find-, the destiny decided to give the girl some luck.

It was in the middle of a crowd of tourists where she saw him. She had never expected to see hi there, but there he was. The cloud guardian was doing his very best to not beat the living shit out of anybody, while some man walked next to him and talked all the time. Great. It was her chance to follow them and show the idiot the power of a woman.

Yeah, she didn´t have a plan. It took less than two minutes of following them for both men to turn around at the same time and tell her to stop hiding, they knew she was there.

-H-hahi… Haru is so sorry for following you? Hibari-san are you mad?

-What did I tell you to do less than 4 hours ago, Miura?

Here it goes. When he called her by her last name, it was worse than when he called her ´herbivore´.

-I´m sorry, but Haru thinks it´s unfair that you ask me to just stay aside while you do all the work! Haru can also do a lot of things, but you´re too busy looking down on me to notice that!

The man twitched an eyebrow. This girl had nerve, as usual. Probably what he liked the best about her. But she was being stupid again. She just didn´t see that the problem was not her, but the guy they had to deal with. He didn´t ask her to stay away because she was going to ruin the whole thing. He asked her to stay away because he was with a guy that loved women more than anything, specially pretty women, and there was no way in hell he would let her near a guy like that. Ever.

-I don´t care. Go back to the mall or something. This does not concern you.

-Of course it does! If it didn´t I wouldn´t even be here in the first place! Don´t you dare turning your back on me!

The other man, who was staring at Haru all the time, couldn´t help but chuckle after this.

-Haha, Hibari don´t be so harsh on her. She can come. It´s not like we´re doing some sort of super-secret-boy-band things, right?

Hibari let out a sigh. He really wanted to spend some time with her after all.

-Ok, you can come.

Haru smiled and followed the two men into a black car that was waiting for them right around the corner.

xXx

-So tell me, how much did you spend?

-Hahi! T-totally not 5000€ in only one shop… no… not at all

xXx

The car stopped at the entrance of an old castle. It looked like one of those haunted houses from theme parks, only bigger, and older, and a lot more fascinating.

The man grabbed Haru´s hand and helped her get out of the car.

-I´m Vinnie, by the way. This is my house, but it´s just the small one. I´d love to show you the bigger one, but I´m afraid your friend doesn´t really want to see it. –He winked an eye at her.

She probably didn´t notice though, since she was too busy trying to figure out how the heck that was ´small´ when it was a fucking castle for heaven´s sake.

-Yes, excuse me… Vinnie-san? This is a castle….

-Do you want me to show you around?-Vinnie leant forward until his face was horribly close to Haru´s. He was grinning like there was no tomorrow and the girl´s first instinct was to take a step back, when a hand grabbed her by her shoulder and pushed her a few more steps away from the guy. Hibari stood next to the girl, who was still trying to assimilate what had just happened, and set his eyes on top of Vinnie´s. Never a glare had been so intense.

-Whatever. It´s just a bunch of rocks… -He was not going to let him near her again, even if he had to make a pact with the devil to achieve it.

As soon as they went in, about twenty young women dressed in Victorian maid outfits welcomed them at the lobby. Vinnie snapped his fingers, and before the sound had finished making it´s eco around the huge room, half of the maids surrounded Hibari and almost dragged him to the upper floor, much to his annoyance.

-Hahi? Hibari-san! Where are you going?

-It´s ok, they´re just taking him to his room. You must be tired, right? Do you want to eat something? I'm sure you won´t refuse some lemon cake after walking around shops all morning.

And he was right. No matter what the circumstances, it was impossible for Haru to refuse cake of any flavor.

xXx

A beast. A heartless monster. A blood thirsty carnivore. The strongest guardian. And even so, he had still let himself be dragged to a bathroom and undressed entirely by a bunch of girls. This world was going insane. No matter how much he yelled at them or tried to push them away, they wouldn´t take their hands off him… Women were starting to become his particular hell.

He didn´t like this place at all. He couldn´t get the bed feeling off his mind. It was like, when he least expected it, something terrible was going to happen. If only Haru hadn´t showed up then… the business was already done. All the papers had been signed, and all the meetings arranged. There was nothing else to do. But then, she showed up, sticking her nose in other people´s stuff, as usual, and now, because of that, they were going to spend the rest of the day in this untrustworthy place. At least he was around. It would be a million times worse if she happened to be with that guy by herself. All he had to do was get out of the bath soon and go see her, just in case.

But the water was so warm, and the smell was so good… it was the smell of her shampoo. The same brand, probably. It was the same smell that had invaded the hotel room in less than an hour; the one he had had to deal with during 14 hours of flight; the one he was already so used to every morning when she showed up in his room for no apparent reason. So sweet, and dangerously relaxing…

He wanted to fall asleep so badly. It was certainly better than falling in love. Someone like him was not allowed to have feelings. But he was allowed to care, and to worry, and damn was he worried now. That bad feeling just didn´t go away no matter what he thought about. And never a feeling had been so intense.

The skylark got out of the bathroom in a rush and got dressed with literally the first thing he could find. Knowing Haru she was probably eating, right? It was noon after all. She was probably at the table, or in the kitchen, making her own food… right? And even if there was nothing wrong with the fact of a girl having lunch, he still felt this crushing need of seeing her in that right instant, making her stop doing whatever it is she was doing, and taking her with him, fast, away from that horror movie scenario, to a place where the bad feeling was gone, and they could be together, just the two of them, the way it was supposed to be.

But no. For once his intuition was right. Something bad was happening. And he could tell when he didn´t seen her neither in the table, nor in the kitchen, and when he heard a gunshot noise coming from the basement, his entire world seemed to crumble.

He rushed downstairs, looking for the fastest way to get to where she was, because she was definitely there. And for the first time in his life, he was having his doubts about what he had just heard. Maybe, just maybe, it was fireworks, and everything was alright, right? But then again, who the fuck would be throwing fireworks at 1 in the afternoon and in a fucking basement!?

And then, he got there. To the place where the noise had come from. And he saw her, and Vinnie, and red.

A lot of red.

xXx

wow omg it took me forever to update this im so sorry OTL

but it´s being too hard to continue with this… anyways, this is an idea i´ve had for quite a while, I just didn't know how to write it, and now I just did.

No stupid puns or jokes this chapter guys, and the following will also be the serious type uwu

So yeah, im stuck and I don't know how to continue this. That´s why this chapter is so short and ends in a cliff hanger 3 You guys tell me, should I keep writing this fic or just move on to other plots I have, because I have no idea. And maybe this chapter is too different to the other ones, Idk, is it too… uh, drastic? Ugh im serious now, tell me what you think, and if I should leave this fic behind, tell me so, because it´s starting to get difficult to continue it, but I just don't like leaving my things unfinished…
