Hey! SO SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING! I'll try to post up two more chapters today! Hope you like this chapter! Oh, there are a lot of time skips because I'm lazy... AND THANK YOU TO ALL THAT REVIEW AND FAVORITED MY STORY! It means the world to me! Fran?

Fran: *monotone* Leo-sempai doesn't own KHR. If she did, I would have more screen time.

Leo: Yes you would! I think you're so awesome!

Fran: *still in monotone* You're awesome, too.

Leo: Thanks, on to the story~

Life in the Varia has been strangely, normal. Weird, isn't it? I was about to go train, but then I heard our loving -note the sarcasm- boss scream, "TRASHES! GET DOWN TO THE LIVING ROOM!" So sweet.

We all collected in the living room and sat down.

"What did you want gorilla?" I asked. Whether he liked it or not, his nickname will never disappear. He growled and glared in my direction.

"The old man invited all of his allies to a party. Being closely wrapped with the Vongola, we have to attend. Everyone in suits and formal wear." Xanxus announced. UGH! I hate dresses, they're such a pain. But Nono said we have to, no other choices.

"OH~ I wanna bring Kumiko to go shopping!" Luss practically squealed. My face scrunched up and I made a gagging noise.

"Ushishi, I think Princess will look cute in dresses," Bel said. I blushed at his comment, but then sighed. I have no way out of this, Bel is going to guilt-trip me.

AT THE MALL

OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD! I swear, Luss picks out the most revealing dresses! He wanted me to wear a dress that stopped at mid-thigh, lace over the stomach, and tight as skin! What is wrong with this man? Bel calmed me down and went off to pick a dress for me. I think he will pick an okay dress.

Oh, god. Bel was trying to kill the sales lady. Apparently, I paid the Varia to get me in and all I wanted was to sleep with them. HELL NO! I wouldn't sleep with anyone of them. Anyways, Bel overheard the sales lady say this and started to throw knifes at her. Of course, no one dared to call the police, we're the Varia for goodness sake's! After talking to Bel and Luss, we decided to go to a tailor to get a dress done.

"OH! He's the very best! The party is today, but he'll finish the dress in two hours! You'll love it~" Luss said. Let's hope I will. We arrived at John's Shop and went straight to the man himself.

"What would you like?" he asked.

"Um, a strapless dress, with black lace over the top and underneath the lace, a layer of emerald green fabric. Oh, and some tool under the dress, not too much though." I said.

"Hm. Okay. I'm going to make it reach the floor, is that okay? And I'm going to the party to see you in it." he said. I nodded. I was nervous, I always looked rigid and uncomfortable in dresses. The girls in my class would always tease me, and then that's when I'd punch them. Hehe... So how would I look at a mafia party, full of important people? John told us to come back at four. Great about three hours to kill.

"Princess? Do you want to go to a fair?" Bel asked. I nodded and smiled. I always wanted too, but my parents were always busy.

"You guys cannot! I would love to let you two lovebirds go, but we need to buy food, suits, shoes, the works! We don't have enough time. I'm sorry, maybe another time," Luss said, disappointed. Bel looked sad, too.

"Let's go after the party, Bel. Just you and me." I said, smiling. Bel looked up at me (I think) and smiled.

Back at John's Shop

I went to the dressing room. Was I going to look nice? I slipped on the dress and walked out. No one said anything.

"I look ugly, don't I?" I asked, slouching.

"OH HEAVENS NO! Darling, you look A-MAZ-ING! The green brings out you eyes even more! This dress is perfect for you! But stand up straighter, you're ruining you back!" Luss screamed. I sighed, Luss was such a mother. I turned to Bel and he was blushing, did I look nice in his opinion?

"Ushishi, my Princess has left me breathless." Bel whispered. I blushed. Then, my heart started to beat faster. I twirled my hair and stood there.

"Well, let's get it in a bag and off to the Varia castle!" John said, breaking the silence.

Time Skip to the Party

We arrived pretty late. Everyone walked in, but me and Bel.

"What if they stare and laugh?" I asked Bel.

"Then, they're foolish people that don't know beauty." Bel said, taking my hand. I walked in with him and all eyes where on us. As I walked to our table, whispers started.

"She's stunning!"

"Is she taken?"

"I envy the man with her." And many comments like that. So, everyone thought I looked nice. That's different. I looked normal though. My hair was parted and laid in front of my shoulders, tied off, and in loose curls. I put on eyeliner and a speck of blush. Also, Bel's tiara was upon my head. But that's it. Many of the other girls here had beautiful gowns, pretty faces, and the most expensive jewelry.

"Bel? Why aren't the other girls getting attention like this?" I asked.

"Because, they're trying too hard. You don't at all, you're naturally beautiful." he whispered. Me? B-beautiful? No way. I was about to argue that I wasn't, but Nono appeared.

"Welcome, friends, family, allies! This is a party for all of the Vongola's allies see the Vongola's furture tenth boss! Tsunayoshi Sawada!"

I saw a little poof of brown and gasped! TSUNA? Little Tsuna, that got beat up for me? He's the new Vongola boss? Small world... As soon as I finished having a spaz attack in my head, Tsuna walked down from the stairs.

"BEL! Let's go meet him!" I yelled.

"Erm, I met him already, he isn't anything special." he replied. My face got sad and Bel gave in.

"TUSNA! IT'S ME, KUMIKO-SEMPAI!" I yelled. Stares were in my direction, but I didn't care. I ran over to him and hugged him.

"KUMIKO-SEMPAI! It's so great to see you!" Tsuna said hugging me back. While we were exchanging stories,some sliver-haired dude started to yell at me.

"GET AWAY FROM JUUDAIME!" he screamed.

Bel stepped in front of Tsuna and I and said, through gritted teeth, "If you don't back off, I will slice you to pieces." The sliver-hair and Bel had a glare fest. It looked like they knew each other.

"Bel? You know him?" I asked.

"Yeah, I beat him in the Ring Battles. He's the kid's right-hand man." Bel replied.

"YOU ONLY BEAT ME BECAUSE JUUDAIME WANTED ME ALIVE!" he screamed back.

"Well, I got the ring and I'm still alive!" Bel said, teasing him.

"Gokudera! Calm down, Kumiko's my friend. And if she's friends with Bel, I'm friends with him!" Tsuna said.

"Ushishi. The kid isn't so bad after all." Bel said. Gokudera instantly apologized to me (not Bel) and started bowing down, slamming his head onto the floor in the progress.

"What's wrong with him?" I whispered in Tsuna's ear. He gave me a look that meant 'I'm not really sure'. I told Gokudera that it's okay, and he stood up. He tailed around Tsuna like a lost puppy, he's almost weirder than Levi... Tsuna and I kept on talking and smiling until he had to leave to meet other people.

"SEE YOU SOON!" I yelled. Tsuna smiled, it was nice to see him again! He's still that cute little kid. I looked over to Bel and he was quiet.

"Bel? Are you okay?"

"Princess looked so happy to meet him again." Bel whispered.

"Oh, it's just because I knew him when I was younger. I was getting bullied and he tried to help, that's all. You're still my number one, Bel!" I said. He slowly smiled and said, "Okay, then. I'm fine now.

A slow song came on and Bel took me to the dance floor.

"Let's dance!" he said, grinning. I followed his lead and went with the music. Soon, everyone stopped dancing and just stared at us. The song finished and Bel smiled at me.

"You were amazing!" Bel exclaimed.

"Thanks, but I'm wearing shoes..." I said, lifting my dress. What I wore for shoes, were an old pair of converses, held together by stitches and duct tape. You heard me right, duct tape. I've had them since last year. I couldn't stand to get rid of them, plus they looked even cooler with the duct tape and whatnot.

"Ushishi, I think you still look pretty!" Bel exclaimed, smiling.

"Thanks, but I should probably put my dress down, before John or Luss can see it," I said, blushing. Bel made my heart skip a beat every time he smiled. Was I in l-love with h-him? It's so confusing! Before I could decide, I saw a familiar face.

I gasped! It was the man from my dreams! The one that was hurting Bel! He walked over to me and smiled.

"Nice to meet you, fair lady. May I have a dance?" the cruel man asked, kissing my hand. I snatched my hand back.

"NO! YOU CANNOT!" I screamed. Now, everyone was staring.

"I was just trying to be polite, Kumiko. Or shall I say, the eyes to the soul?" he said, smirking. Everyone started to gasp. Whispers spread around the room, like a wildfire.

"How do you know?" I asked, shocked.

He chuckled and said, "Please, I'm in the Mafia. We know everything about you, whether you like it or not. Oh, where are my manners, my name is Vincenzo Alfonso, Ninth boss of the Orgoglio Famiglia."

"So, you're a stalker?" I asked.

"No! I simply know your information. I have a question for you, would you like to join the my Famiglia? Your powers will help us." he asked.

"Hell no. I'm in the Varia, end of story. And if you know everything about me, why don't you know I'm in the Varia? Is your family that stupid?" I asked, bluntly.

"Do not insult my family! Anyways, Ms. Kumiko. I always get what I want and I want you. So, come on." he said, touching my shoulder. I moved back and was about to say something, until Nono did.

"She will not be going with you, Vincenzo. She's in the Varia, she has a family. Leave her alone! You cannot touch her!" Nono announced.

"Ha, that's what you think. I get what I want," he said.

"You won't this time, for Primo's blood courses through her veins!" Nono shouted.

DUN DUN DUN! In the next chapter, all will be explained. Hope you liked it! BYE BI~
