"And so, that is my tenth reason why I must go bi for you~!" Mareo chanted, following Sora's steps with a mini waltz behind him.

"Aah.. I see.." Sora sweated uncomfortably, wandering around in and out of rooms to try and avoid the bisexual teen. But with many efforts, he kept appearing behind him out of thin air.

'That must be one of his powers..' Sora groaned to himself.

"Ara? Are your legs tired from exploring? Should I carry you like a doll in my arms~?" Mareo did so without permit and scooped up the younger figure like a princess.

"UWAA! M-Mareo-san! Could you-" Sora yelped.

"No need to give me thanks, I am always here for you~" Mareo chimmed softly near the damsel's ear.

With that, he skipped blissfully, chatting about his early trip to Japan.

"When I set my eyes on it, I immediately became attracted to the land. I visited Mount Fuji, most of the popular shrines and lakes, and of course, festivals! There was this girl I had in mind before.. She wasn't like anyone I've dated." Mareo said thoughtfully, his eyes twinkling at his last sentence.

Sora blinked. Who is it? It wasn't the girls in Namimori High was it?

"It was-"

"YOU!" A voice shouted.

"Aaah~ Haruka-"

"Why you..! You tried to steal Sora away, didn't you?" Haruka's eyes flared with sheer infuriation. She stomped up to them and snatched Kagisora away from Mareo's hands- and settled him down properly for him to stand up.

Sora quietly thanks her, but immediately tried explaining to her that it was all a misunderstanding.

"H-Haruka-san, Mareo didn't steal me.. or anything!" he said to her, "We were just, uh.. chatting."

Haruka's eyes drifted back to her boss slowly, her eyes still clouded with puzzlement.

"But he was carrying you.."

"Er.. well he thought my legs were tired from training. Right, Mareo?"

"Of course, not only that, I-"

"Y-yes! Yaawwn~ I'm really sleepy so I should go to bed now! Ok bye!"

Sora said quickly and rushed to a random room.

So did he know that it wasn't a room he expected..

Kagisora rammed the door shut and heaved a big sigh. When he opened his eyes, it was a rather larger room than he expected it would be. In fact, it wasn't plain at all.

Under his feet was a large tatami mat made out of high quality strawing. The rooms were decorated with wood and bamboo, and there was even a traditional screen door.

Beyond it was another room, leading somewhere..

Suddenly, Sora heard a small shuffle of blankets. There was someone here?

Alarmed, he tried to speak, but his chances was even less when he realized.. who it was.

"A-A-A-A-"

Amaya rubbed her eyes, staring at the wall in front of her. Her eyes blinked slowly to try to adjust to the brightness of the room, but she have not yet noticed the Sawada yet.

Yawning, Amaya slowly forced herself up and walked over to a glass of water on a table, drinking in long gulps.

When done, she walked slowly back to her bed and went back to sleep again.

Sora didn't believe what he had just seen.

Amaya? In the Vongola Base?

'How is this possible?' he thought, shocked.

He remembered now. During Suzako's first pickup to the base, Rebirth mentioned about a female supposedly joining along with him, but never showed up.. Was this female Amaya?

Gaping at his new discovering, he turned to the door to tell his mafioso, but a creak from the floor stopped his foot steps. "U-uwaa.." Sora glanced at the sleeping female.

Amaya made no stutter.

Sighing with sweat trickling under his skin, Kagisora reached for the knob.

It made a squeak. Then more squeaks. Then a parade of other squeaks came along with it.

'W-What's wrong with this..'

Finally the door was wide enough for him to creep out of.

Slowly, Sora tip-toed out and into the bright lights again.. But that was what he expected to happen.

"UWAA!"

Amaya was right behind him!

"What are you doing.. here?"

Her narrowed eyes glared distinctively at Kagisora, waiting for a reasonable answer.

"I-I-I.. Was.. I-I acccidently went to the wrong room! I'm so sorry!"

The answer didn't please her.

Sora was now trapped under Amaya's arm resting on the wall as he inched down like a small mouse.

"You must have a reason to run here.. Who chased you?"

'Eh? How did she know I was running away?' Sora thought puzzledly.

"Well?"

"M-Mareo!"

A silence perplexed the two.

Amaya's face darkened into a irritated frown.

"That.. perverted weakling.." She left Sora quickly after saying that sentence with her night gown on, dashing at the right direction for the Mist User.

"Eh?" Kagisora was left alone confused until Haruka ran right at him, propelling him with questions and concerns.

"Boss! Are you hurt? Did she harm you? I'm sorry I didn't come here sooner! Where is she? I want to give her a lesson she'll never forget!" her eyes burned with fierce imaginary flames.

Sora was baffled by Haruka's misconception. "Haruka- it wasn't anything like that! I just accidently ran into Amaya's room and.. UWAA!"

The flame-haired teen's slits widened and stopped his sentence when he sighted Amaya again- looking quite sour and pale as she wobbled slightly.

Both of them knew what was wrong. Looking down at Amaya's right leg was Mareo hugging it with all his might, forming imaginary hearts around his head as he tried hard to never let go.

"Amaya-chan, my love~"

The angered female tried to shake him off, even kick him with her other foot, but the teen wouldn't let go.

"You.." her arm lowered to get her tonfas from her leg case, but Mareo hugged her arm as well.

"Amaya~"

"I'll drag you to-"

Amaya slipped and fell by the weight from Mareo and startled everyone in a strange position.

"Uwaa..!" Sora quickly slapped closed his mouth.

Haruka merely turned red.

"Fufufu~ Are you hurt?" Mareo chuckled, gazing right into the crest-fallened girl's eyes.

"... I'll drag you to hell." The Cloud guardian chased Mareo off and past a corner until Kagisora and Haruka couldn't see them. Only distant chuckles and annoyed grunts were heard until they slowly faded away.

"Well, that was.. Oh. It's late Boss! You should sleep now." Haruka yawned.

"I'm pretty sleepy. See you tomorrow!" She waved at Sora and skipped off to her room.

Sora opened his mouth to speak, but the Storm guardian already entered her room and disappeared in a bolt.

He blinked puzzledly. 'Where was my room again?'
