Author's note: Sorry for the late update. I was ugh...busy. Anyway, thanks for the reviews. I made this chapter extra long for being late for 3 days.

(Author's POV)

Yufumi noticed there was something wrong with his new raven-haired friend the minute he announced exactly what he found out. Right after he had told Tsukasa he had been sleeping for hundreds of years, the teen acted fine about it! The guy didn't even seem shocked about it, maybe for the first few seconds but by God he quickly recovered as if Yufumi's news were small!

In fact, he tried his best to make the younger teen really understand his situation but the Eirin heir shrugged him off with a smile as if hundreds of years were nothing!

At first, he thought the guy was just too shocked to say anything about it, and then he saw Tsukasa continuing to pack his clothes as if nothing happened. It was disconcerting. He even came to the point where he asked him bluntly and directly why he wasn't shocked. Why... Tsukasa asked him back if he wants him to be shocked.

It was at that exact moment that Yufumi realized that Tsukasa wasn't any normal guy. There was something off about him and the more time he spent with him the more he realizes that maybe their chance encounter was fate.

The second thing that was disturbing was the fact that Tsukasa seemed to e staring at him...all the time.

When they got on the plane, Yufumi looked as him six times and he caught the amethyst-eyed teen staring at him six times! Not to mention the guy was always smiling.

It was getting a tiny bit creepy, just a tiny bit.

Yufumi looked back as cautiously as he can and found out that the other teens were fast asleep. It was better to see both of them asleep for some kind of reason, but it sure got him thinking just how many hours has he spent musing about things?

He was about to sleep when he considered the opportunity to look closer at the guy Tsukasa let him meet. He hadn't had the time to study him when they were in Tsukasa's room.

Trying to be discreet about what he was about to do, Yufumi looked behind him and fixed his stare in Toshiki ready to duck behind his seat if the other stir awake.

Toshiki had crimson hair that seemed to match the tint of red wine, he wore a pair of rimless eyeglasses and if he remembered it correctly he also had frosty green eyes that almost seemed to be emerald. He never met anyone in his whole life with that kind of hair and eye combination. It was interesting how unlike the four-eyed boy was to Tsukasa.

Yufumi smirked in satisfaction. He now knows in details what his companions looks like, so therefore it was time for sleep. It was better to know the people him than trusting them immediately.


Time Skip

(Yufumi's POV)

I turned around to get a better sleeping position. My pillow smelled like vanilla. It was heavenly sweet and a bit soft. I inhaled and found the scent quite comforting.

It was amazing to sleep in a plane with pillows because last time I checked there weren't any pillows when we got in the plane.

e!

How come I can hear the engine running?

I may be not updated with everything but what I hear perfectly is definitely not a plane.

And the seats in the plane weren't wide enough for me to lie in a vertical position but most importantly...There weren't any pillows.

I remained still for a minute and contemplated as to whether or not I should open my eyes, until I realized my pillow was breathing.

Oh my fu-

I opened my eyes.

And I could pretty much say this is the part of the story in which "lilac eyes met amethyst eyes". Tsukasa was staring down at me with a smile that sent chills down my spine.

First thing that I noticed was that I was apparently asleep on my friend's lap. Second thing was the fact that he was actually my pillow and the third thing was that we were on a car of sorts then everything pretty much clicked in.

I sat up as fast as I could and yes, I glared at him. I gave him a full-blown glare.

If I never knew his kindness and friendliness, I would have called him a creep. It was just too eerie to even think that Tsukasa was watching me sleep. (Hey! That rhymed!)

"Good morning."He greeted me as if I never fell asleep on his lap and as if he wasn't watching me when I was asleep.

"What's good in the morning?" I asked and there was no doubt in my voice that I was irritated. I was never a morning person and I would never be no matter what kind of *ahem* pillow I slept in.

For now, I would just ignore his creepiness and just think of the poor lonely sad part of him. It was easier thinking of him as the lonesome few-friends kid than to think on how the guy seemed to be behaving so strangely weird.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I looked around and found out we were in a limousine, judging by the buildings outside the windows we were probably in the middle of a civilization. Again, why didn't he wake me up?

"I didn't have the heart to wake you up. You looked so comfortable so I just carried you here." He shrugged and looked outside the windows. I, on the other hand, can't believe that I just got carried inside a car without even waking up.

It must be mighty easy to kidnap me in my sleep.

"Before I could tell him to wake you up, he was already carrying you Yufumi-kun. Forgive him; he's just too excited to have a lovely friend to play with." A mocking voice said and I winced at how he said it. His voice was grating in my morning head.

"I'm not lovely." I looked pointedly at Toshiki. He was beginning to be a pain in the ass, but I just woke up so I might as well call everything real.

"Yes you are. See how defensive Tsukasa is when it comes to you? You're like some kind of porcelain doll that could break up any minute." He said with a wry smile. It was annoying since he sounded so sincere about it.

I took a glance at Tsukasa and I saw how hard his glare was. It seemed like the two 'friends' has an issue. Sad to say I don't want to be a part of it, it's too early to cause havoc.

"Where are we?" I asked the question that had been bothering me ever since I woke up. It was a bit hard to adapt to a different kind of surroundings since the last time I came to Japan was hundreds of years before. I couldn't even identify where in Japan we were if it weren't for the Japanese people around me.

"In a few more minutes, we'll be arriving in one of my uncle's house. He said earlier that only the three of us will be living there as my Tou-san instructed him to." Tsukasa happily answered my question. His smile was back again too fast.

"All arrangements were settled already for us and I expect Tsukasa's rich father already gave him a very large sum of money called monthly allowance." Toshiki remarked. Gone was the courteousness in his voice when he referred Tsukasa. It was funny how the two 'friends' seem to be bugged with each other, and yet they stayed acquainted for so long.

I was just about to ask them why they were so irritated with each other when the car stopped.

In front of us was a rather lovely house. The roof was in a mangy colour of brown while the walls were immaculately white, around it were a variety of beautiful flowers and the most surprising thing was that it looked normal.

Tsukasa's father was rich and there was no doubt in that so why did he decided to let his son live in a normal house?

"Amazing! The picture Tou-san gave me didn't do this house justice! It's perfect." Alas, the spoiled son apparently was the one who picked it. I looked at Tsukasa and sighed, it was blatantly obvious that he wanted to fit in.

Once we stepped out of the limousine, the driver carefully lifted the suit cases out of the storage and brought them inside the lovely house.

For a few seconds, we just stood outside and stared at the house that we'll be living in for the rest of the school year. Toshiki was the first one to snap out of daze and entered the house.

The driver quickly bid farewell and left after he brought everything in, and then the two of us were left standing outside the house.

"Let's go." He said excitedly and began dragging me into the house. I felt as if we were outside their mansion and he was dragging me inside it again. Nostalgia, was it?

"The first floor is consisted of the kitchen, the living room and the dining room." He pointed out as we were walking inside. "The second floor has four bedrooms with the exact size and components though the wallpaper is different in each room." At that note, I quickly realized that Tsukasa would make a great tour guide.

The first place of the house that I quickly liked was the living room. There was a glass table on the middle and four oak chairs that were beautifully crafted around it. Underneath was a massive oriental red carpet that had intricate designs on it which was definitely something only rich people can afford.

It was unexpected to see expensive looking stuffs inside a simple house. Sure, the house looked elegant at the outside but it will still shock anyone to see the inside.

I must say, however, that the kitchen looked fantastic. In fact I would trouble myself to proclaim it as perfect.

"I'll be in charge of cooking." I hastily declared right after I saw the complete collection of knives and silverware. I'm an excellent cook but I never cooked for no one but myself and a few friends, at least by taking the duty of cookery I would repay Tsukasa a tiny bit.

"You can cook?" I heard Tsukasa asked with awe in his voice. I saw Toshiki's head popped out of the stairs when he heard me.

"Hai hai. I wouldn't say I'll be in charge of cooking if I can't." I smiled and I swear I could have sworn Toshiki grin, but that would be impossible because that guy never grins.

"Thank God! I thought we're going to be trapped here forever eating Toshiki-san's miso soup!" Tsukasa laughed sincerely and I heard Toshiki huffed before he disappeared somewhere in the house.

"What time is it anyway?" I asked before I opened the large refrigerator. I felt so happy to see a lot of ingredients that I usually use inside it. It was complete from vegetables to the meat and eggs section.

"Woah! It's almost five. I never felt the change of time at all." Tsukasa chuckled and gave me his trademark grin before he sat on the white kitchen table.

"Time flies fast. What do you want for dinner?" I asked as I took out the chopping board and some knives. Tsukasa stared at me oddly, before smiling again.

I'm starting to get used to how he smiles with no reason at all, as if observing me was a very amusing thing to do.

"I'll eat anything you cook." Sweet. How sickeningly sweet he sounded. For some strange reason I was tempted to cook a spicy Italian cuisine just to make him regret what he said but I remembered how he has been so nice to me.

Next time, I'll prepare a list so he can't tell me what he just said. I mean, it's hard to think of what to cook since I don't even know what they want. I don't like it when the people I cook for doesn't appreciate it.

It took me a few minutes to realize I was actually afraid to disappoint them, and one second to tell myself that it isn't true.

"I'll be cooking something Italian, I hope you don't mind." I remarked before taking out of the fridge the ingredients I need to use.

I lost myself to cooking three different Italian dishes that I used to cook for myself back then. For some odd reason, Tsukasa just watched me all the time. Did he know he was wasting his time?

"Grab some plates and set the table. Make yourself of use than just watching me do all the work." I commanded like a pro. His obedience was something I'll never get used to, it's like I'm commanding a jaguar to sit and roll.

Secretly, I looked at him each time he turns his back on me. It wasn't his size that was intimidating about him. I've seen bigger men than him but they weren't something that was daunting.

I realized after spending more time with Tsukasa that he has a very unique 'swagger'. He walked so carelessly and never hesitates in each move. It wasn't graceful of anything but whatever "it" is, he got it.

"So, where did you learned to cook all that?" He asked curiously as he came back with his usual smile.

"Let's just say I read a lot." I answered and he pursued the subject no longer. It was comforting to notice how he doesn't ask repeatedly the questions I never answered specifically. It saved me the effort to divert the conversation.

"You're amazing."Another needless compliment once again. I'm not used to getting complimented a lot, plus it came to a person that I've been with for more than half a day. Since people way back quickly take back their compliments once they really know me.

"You should be meaner." I instructed. "Or my head will get too big because of you." I finished garnishing the chicken cutlets with greens. I could smell distinctly the basil that I added. I am amazing!

The way his amethyst eyes widened, I knew Tsukasa also smelled the appetizing aroma. If it was possible, his grin grew wider.

"Dinner's ready! Get down here!" I heard Tsukasa yelled. I smirked. Everything was going well for me, no snipers, no trouble, no enemies and most of all...there wasn't any mafia around.

I saw Toshiki jogged down the stairs and immediately sat on one of the chairs. I set down the rice, the main dish and the drinks. We ate in silence, until one of us spoke up.

"So, what school was it that we were enrolled to?" Toshiki asked as he got another serving of rice. I just continued on eating mine without bothering to answer a question I don't know how to response to.

Tsukasa swallowed his food first before he looked at Toshiki.

"We'll be attending the local school here." Tsukasa replied. I tilted my head indicating "What in the world do you mean?" but I think he didn't get what I meant.

"Oh. So we'll be studying in Namimori Middle School" Toshiki pointed out for me unknowingly. So the town we were in is called Namimori. How interesting. I wonder if it's prestigious enough for a rich kid to be in. Maybe they picked it for the security? (*snickers*)

I was about to put away the dishes when Toshiki came to me telling me not to bother myself with such activity.

"It's not fit for a doll to wash dishes." He smiled when he said to me. I, on the other hand, glared at him. I wasn't a doll.

"Go to your room now. It's the second room from the stairs. You look tired, it's better for you to sleep now. We have plans tomorrow morning and we wouldn't want you to look so tired." Tsukasa motioned me to go so I did.

"We'll take care of this." They assured me. Somehow I knew they would so I did what they suggested me to. Maybe I was tire maybe I wasn't but all I know was that the bed on the room I was assigned in was quite comfy. Before I even knew it, I was already succumbing to sleep.


(Author's POV)

On the first floor however, one of the two individuals was in deep thinking.

He furrowed his eyebrows and sighed as he helped clean the dishes the lilac-eyed teen had prepared.

Once they were finished doing their task he saw to it that his companion went to his appointed bedroom before saying out loud to no one in particular...

"We'll be seeing the Vongola heir soon..."


Author's note: I do hope this chapter isn't as boring as I had thought.

Anyway... I'm on my knees begging for anyone to leave a review.
