This scene is short, but still part of the story.

Happy Reading, and please review!

"Wait… You came from Italy, too, right?" Kaia raised an eyebrow.

"Yup!" beamed the young man. "Just flew in yesterday. Japan's awesome!" He shrugged.

"You seem to know about the Vongola, don't you?"

"Vongola? It means clam in Italian, of course," grinned the seventeen-year-old. "Clams can be toys. And you have to kill clams in order to eat them too."

"You aren't telling me, either, aren't you?!" Kaia narrowed her eyes. She sighed and looked away. "Sorry, just ignore that."

An explosion, and Kaia landed on the ground.

"You should never turn your back to your opponent, you know that?" drawled Byakuran. Kaia gritted her teeth.

"What opponent? I don't know about what you are doing, picking a fight with someone so small like me, but I have things to do. Have a nice day." Kaia picked herself up and began to walk away. Byakuran just laughed.

"You don't want me to really begin to fight, right?" grinned Byakuran

"Which is why I choose not to fight you."

"I have orders to fight you, even if you don't want to."

Kaia continued to walk. Byakuran followed.

"Hey, don't tell me you're one of Tsuna-san's friends, right?" asked Kaia. Byakuran stopped in his tracks.

"Tsuna?" repeated Byakuran, a growing smile stretching across his face. "I am not." Kaia stopped and turned.

"What?" Kaia narrowed her eyes. "You are both the same, stupid people, okay?! Just shut up, go home, or something! Stop terrorizing my life!"

The explosive in Byakuran's hand suddenly exploded. Kaia blinked a few times, but she turned and ran for it; she didn't know what happened, but she knew it was to her advantage.

By the time she disappeared, Byakuran walked from the cloud of smoke, apparently unharmed. He was impressed.

"Aren't you interesting?" grinned Byakuran, eyes shining maliciously.

Though Kaia didn't want to think about it…

And Byakuran was happy to know it…

This was only the beginning.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"U-shi-shi-shi~!" drifted a voice. Byakuran whipped around.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the Varia, right?" Byakuran smiled. "This is a lot more fun than I had originally thought."

"Oh, I'm not here to fight," grinned Belphegor, stepping into view. "I'm just a freeloader on your flight. All I came was to tell you something, and for you to never forget it."

"And what might that be, Varia?" Byakuran looked highly amused. Belphegor's ever-lasting smile suddenly disappeared.

"Kaia is strictly Vongola property. Don't you steal her, you scum."

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Yeah, Bel dropped in. :]
