Hi! RanLei here! I know things are complicated in this chapter... T,T

"Princess?"

"Yes, Gamma?"

The Princess isn't much of a talker. Ever since Lady Aria went to be a Historian hunter, she switched from a talkative little girl into a wise little lady.

Not just wise, but more than that. She can even beat many old people at once.

It reminded Gamma of Luce-sama. She is kind and wise… though she has a weird habit of wearing ultra loose clothes from her pregnancy days as her everyday clothes.

But what is strange from Luce-sama and Lady Aria, is they both don't look old at all. It's almost like they're...

"Vampires?"

The Princess asked, smiling with her eyes that shone like the sky. It struck Gamma hard. Vampires are always sensitive topic to the Giglio Neros.

Chapter 12: Things Began To Move

"How do you…?" Gamma tempted to ask, but he knew the answer already.

"I am not a vampire, so as Mom and Gramma, none of the Giglio Neros are vampire…" The Princess continues making her flower wreaths, convincing Gamma.

"Do you want to go down to the town?" The Giglio Nero mansion is located on top of hills in Alps, pretty sunset, but not such a good place to see the sunrise. Gamma wonders why Luce-sama chose this place as their humble adobe.

Suddenly, the Princess stands up and looked into the main road's direction. Her blue eyes squinted for a little and she asked Gamma to return to the mansion.

"I'll catch up to you later, Gamma. Please bring this to Nosaru, tell him I wish his fever goes down." She gave him a bucket of herbs and flowers. Gamma was about to ask why until the Princess pushed his back, telling him to go. The blond man finally agrees and walked reluctantly to the mansion.

"Whoa, just in time to shoo him away, Princess," A redhead taller than she was walked to her direction.

"You are..." Suddenly, an orange light envelops her, her sky-blue eyes changed into a blood-red ones.

"What do you want, Cozart Shimon? How dare you speak to Uni-hime." Her serene voice changed into a rougher tone.

"Hi Ceevo, looking as violent as always." (A/N: her name is pronounced as 'Kee-vo' not 'See-vo') Cozart laughed. The red-eyed lady growled. "Don't you think it's time for you to leave Alps? This place doesn't suit you," Cozart said, earning squinted eyes from her.

"Ask Teeon for the reason I'm here," she replied.

"You're still the same little Lady Ceevo as ever," Cozart said with smirk.

"Shut up, Cozart Shimon," Ceevo replied, seething in anger.

"The roughest, strongest, and the most obedient of the 'Covenants'... with major inferiority complex towards Lady Teeon and Lady Neena." A gust of wind pushed Cozart backwards, making him groan.

"Do not bring their name in presence of Uni-hime!" Ceevo shouted in anger.

"Is it because the Princess wants to see them? The current vessel of Lady Teeon and Lady Neena are Ladies of Giglio Nero," Cozart stated. "And 'she', the only Protector to side with Phlegm has made a move… probably to Lady Neena's place."

Ceevo, or rather, Uni flinched. The girl's eyes switched from red to blue-sky. "M-mom?" She asked, sounding scared. "No, you foolish wench! Teeon... Teeon wants her not knowing!" Another replied, blaming Cozart.

"Co-Cozart-san..." Uni struggled. "Where... is she?" She asked.

"Don't. Uni-hime!" Ceevo desperately tried to push Uni back to the inner room.

Cozart casually pats their head. "Japan, Hunter's Association. Another Protector, Ricardo Vongola, is there too." He smiled.

"Ughh, that brat," Ceevo groaned.

"I understand..." Uni said with a firm tone. "Ceevo-san, go back, please." She closed her eyes and willed herself to be as calm as possible.

"Remember this, Cozart Shimon. I will make sure that something will happen to your beloved Suzuki Adelheid!" Ceevo threatened him and willingly backed off to their inner room.

"Ix," Uni called, a silver feathered falcon appeared with orange flames. "Contact 'that person' tell him that I'm going to Japan," Uni asked. The bird nodded and disappears.

"Cozart-san, I'm sorry for Ceevo's behavior..." She bowed.

"Nah it's fine. I never seen her polite to anyone besides Lady Teeon and Lady Neena." He chuckled.

"I'll go, to Japan, I'll go." Uni looked determined. Cozart smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Of course you will, Uni-hime."

"You'll meet other wolves tomorrow, u-until then, stay in any room you like in this apartment." Tsuna smiled to Lambo who lazily nod.

"Be careful young Prince..." he said as he left Tsuna's room.

Tsuna closed his eyes and his vampiric instinct heightened. 'Someone was here' he heard blood flowing in someone's body. 'No, someone is still here.'

"Yo, Tsuna!" His eyes gleamed red and his nails are longer. He pinned the adult's body to the floor in inhuman speed. "Hey, hey!" He groaned. Tsuna snapped back into reality and jolted.

"Dino-san! You should tell me from the first place that you're coming here!"

"I heard from Kyoya that you're taking a break from school, so I came here."

"I went to m-my home at Italy..." 'or used to be' Tsuna thought.

"Yeah?" Dino smiled. Tsuna didn't say a thing; he didn't know what to say. A human, sneaking in to a vampire's apartment in the middle of the night, it couldn't get any crazier. Or worse... tastier.

Tsuna flinched.

"But I gotta say, this place is awesome!" Dino layed himself on Tsuna's bed. "Hey, come here..." He said to the shivering vampire. "You know you want this..." The blonde hunter pointed to his neck. Tsuna shook his head.

"Don't make it more d-difficult, Dino-san." Tsuna forcibly made his body rigid.

Dino sighed in exasperation. "You don't get it, do you? Vampire who won't use his own fangs will-!"

"Then let me die!" Tsuna shouted, crying. "I rather die than relying on innocent humans such as you and Vongola-sensei!" His eyes turned red as he let himself rage.

"I was really pissed when Nuvola stopped me from jumping off the school roof. I was really disappointed when Tempesta, Pioggia, and Sereno came to save me from getting killed. I was desperate when Nebbia... Chrome cushioned me from falling head-first from the balcony. Why? Because sooner or later, I know I'll hunt for the Sky Blood after I ran out of my blood pills!" The windows cracked.

Dino was a little surprised by the sudden outburst from the usually-introverted vampire. "To tell you the truth..." He said after a long silence. "I was sent to kill you by my superior." Dino gestured Tsuna to sit beside him on the bed, which Tsuna followed.

"But, a gentle voice warned my sense of justice. Every inch of my body was telling me that killing you will make me regret for the rest of my life, so, I didn't kill you," Dino's brown eyes gaze to Tsuna's red ones.

"And I never regret that, even now. That's why; I don't want you to waste your life. A life that I-Pin saved..." He pulled Tsuna to his embrace and closed his eyes, not letting go. "...and the life I treasured. Tsuna, I love you. Not in a way a human should have..."

The boy is bewildered as the man smelled around his pale skinned neck. "This is a bloody relationship, where you only need me as your food, and I really don't mind. As long as you treasure yourself," Dino bit his own wrist and sucked blood from it. It tasted salty and absolutely un-tasty. But he did it anyway. He ran to the bathroom and spit the blood out, and returned with bleeding wrist.

He rubbed his bleeding wrist to his neck and sat beside the horrified vampire. "Go on." He said while smiling. The brunette didn't comply to his instincts as quick as Dino had predicted. It took him almost fifteen long minutes to convince Tsuna.

After the horrid fifteen minutes, Tsuna complied to his vampiric senses. 'Look at the bright side, we got free Sky Blood! If he's done, we can move to that other hunter.'

Tsuna shook his head rapidly. Denying his other- true self. "Tsuna?" Dino asked, confused. The brunette gritted his teeth and tackled Dino onto the bed. "I'm s-s-sorry... Dino-san..." He licked the blood from Dino's neck and used his nail to slit the hunter's neck.

Using his fang... has more meaning than what Dino, or the other thinks...

"Ricardo-sama! This is terrible!" Some hunters ran to his office, looking absolutely panic.

"It's in the middle of a fucking night..!" Ricardo cursed. "What is it?" He asked with an angry tone.

"Y-you won't believe this sire..." The bald hunter said grimly.

He stormed off his office and walked anxiously to the main lobby. He met two panicking guards and asked them.

"What the hell's going on?" Seeing the guards flinching around instead of answering, Ricardo burned some parts of their body in anger.

He smashed the door open and sees the source of the problem. At least thirteen of his men are lying on the floor, lifeless and unbelievably pale. "It's a Phlegm, sire!" one of the reinforcement came.

Ricardo averted his gaze from the heaps of corpses to the one causing them. An amber-colored hood with little flower patterns on them.

"Piccolino!" She said.

Ricardo's mouth fell open, but he gritted his teeth the second after. "No... way..." He examined her figure. That all familiar voice. That all familiar hood. That all familiar...

Missing Legendary Anti-Vampire weapon, Holy Cross...

...which his sister had owned.

"Buona sera, il fratello."

His beloved dead sister was there, sucking blood from his men, smiling.
