Kaia had pulled out all of the little annoying rocks stuck in her bare feet from the road; after the disappearance of the prince, Kaia was shocked and empty-minded. She focused on getting back home, or to get to somewhere safe from those…people. She stumbled to the sidewalk and set off at an encouraging pace, hoping nothing else would happen tonight.
She sighed and continued on her way. In time, she reached a faintly familiar place – the park. There was the crossroads again.
Kufufufufufuu…Don't you listen to that psychotic prince.
Listen to me, dear…
Kaia started. She now cried out, "Who's there?!"
Foolish girl. Nobody will come.
Mist began to swirl and dance around her; it came gradually at first, then grew thicker and beautiful, and seemed to cast shadows on the road.
Kufufufufufufufuu…
A familiar form appeared, a familiar aura came about.
"Who's there?! Who are you…?!" panted Kaia, as she backed away from the approaching figure, backing away into the brick wall of the border to the next house's property.
"Kufufufufufuu…My, my, Kaia, aren't you shaken?" grinned Mukuro. In his hand he held a rather dangerous metal trident, and Kaia eyed it with a certain degree of distrust and fear. Mukuro advanced, extending his trident to its full length.
"Surely you will serve as sufficient bait for me to take control of what's left of the Vongola?" he placed the trident end against Kaia's neck, directly under the jawbone, holding it in much of the same fashion as a pool stick. "Will you?"
"Rokudo Mukuro," growled a voice. Bullets bit holes into the wall of mist. Each of them only narrowly missed Mukuro, who stood up straight and laughed.
"Ah, so the Cloud comes?"
"Stand away from Kaia," warned Soto. Jasmine followed close behind, her gun aimed straight for Mukuro's heart.
"You are well aware that if you kill me, Soto, that you will be committing treason to the Vongola, for killing the Guardian of the Mist, as well as automatically hailing Xanxus and the Varia as the new Tenth?" Mukuro chuckled. "You're bound to ruin the Vongola."
"So you've escaped the Vendiche again?" Soto narrowed his eyes. "I'd advise you leave right now." Mukuro chuckled.
"You'll certainly be mistaken if you mean forever." He removed the trident from Kaia and disappeared into thin air. The mist dwindled to nothing as well, and all was night again. Soto rushed to Kaia's side, as well as Jasmine.
Kaia's eyes drooped half-way, but she jolted herself a little more awake when she saw the two people.
"Who…?" Kaia started, before erupting into a fit of coughs. "Who…are…you…?"
"Kaia!" cried Soto. He grabbed Kaia's shoulders and shook her vigorously. "Kaia, are you alright?!"
"Stop, Soto!" said Jasmine. "Stop…don't. Check her pulse."
"Who…is…the prince?"
Soto froze. Jasmine's eyes widened in shock.
"Where exactly did you see…this prince?" Jasmine asked.
"Blonde…" Kaia closed her eyes. "Knife…prince…and principessa…"
"P-Principessa?!" Jasmine repeated in surprise. Kaia's met Belphegor, for sure. Otherwise, why would she make such a thing up, and how does she know what princess is in Italian??
"Jasmine – her pulse is farther away, weaker, but faster. And she's colder."
"Then we must hurry," said Jasmine. "You carry her – I'll get back to her apartment to properly put her to bed now."
"Okay," nodded Soto. "Come on, Kaia."
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Once more, Kaia was put to bed. Jasmine thought it best if she went to school tomorrow; she would be safe with a crowd of peers. Also, since the Vongola were all training to fight the Varia, they wouldn't be there. That day at school would have nothing to worry about.
Both Jasmine and Soto sat at the couch drinking tea, watching the late-at-night news. But apparently, Soto was ignoring it.
"Hi, this is Wakanuke Yuki, and this is channel 20 news. First off, the city officials of Namimori have agreed to begin building a brand-new, record-setting shopping mall in the city. The official beginning of construction is scheduled to begin around next month…" and on and on the television ranted about things happening around Japan.
"Oh, a shopping mall," grinned Jasmine. "I'm totally going to be the first one in."
"And wasting the Vongola's hard-earned money?"
"No, I'm going to use my salary, stupid."
"Well, that is the Vongola's hard-earned money."
"Shut up…" Jasmine pouted and drank some of her tea.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
