Valentine woke up to the sounds of the ocean. At first she thought she was dreaming, then she remembered the night before. The weird boy who seemed to have a princess complex, and the psychopath with the whip. She stretched an caught a glimpse of the clock on the wall. 6:15 am. She moved the curtains and saw the beach. The suns orangish hue was just starting to break over the horizon. The waters looked too inviting to resist. Five minutes later she was jumping over the rail of her balcony and walking over to the beach.

Dino went into her room at seven thirty to see if she was up only to find the curtains thrown back, and the balcony doors open. He looked out and saw her sitting on the beach; Knees pulled up to her chest her long hair blowing in the wind. Dino smiled and jumped over the balcony walking over to the girl who looked utterly lost in thought.

She heard him coming his feet making soft crunching noises on the sand as he made his way over to where she was. He plopped down next to her, and for a long time didn't say anything. He just stared out at the ocean. Val snuck a sideways glance at him; he makes for some good eye candy to she thought. Shame he has such a annoying attitude.

Dino was the first to speak up. "you know your mother used to sit out here to, when she needed to think."

"You knew my mom."

"yeah when I was a kid, I would always follow her around when she would visit. It was my number one favorite pass time." Dino said with a smile

"yeah, what was your second?"

"Pissing off your dad." HE laughed out.,

"why,?"

Well when your mom came back to visit when she was 19, she brought him home with her. I was 8 at the time, and I had a huge crush on your mom. Of course it was unrequited love, but it didn't stop me from trying. I was always sneaking around and putting snakes or poisonous spiders in his shoes at night. Once I gave him a whole chocolate bar of exlax disguised as a Hershey's bar.

"He fell for that?" Val asked laughing

"yep, it worked like a charm, while he spent all day sick at home your mom and I made a sandcastle out here on the beach. That's when she told me she was pregnant with you. I told her that I felt sorry for you. When your mom asked why I said because you had such a dolt for a daddy. She pushed me into the ocean for that one.

Val looked into Dinos big brown eyes and smiled. It was nice hearing such stories about her parents,

You know your parents called me before you came to America. Your mom made me promise to look after you, she was frantic and crying. She refused to tell me what was wrong, and by the time I got there to the Italy house, they were gone.

They both sat silent for some time. The only sound was the ocean lapping up against the shore. Val stood up and started walking back towards the beach house.

"Where you going Valentina?" Dino asked.

"Well I am sure you didn't bring me here just to stare at the ocean, and talk about Hershey's exlax." Valentina said smiling.

"Okay well then let's get to the training room." Dino said seriously.

Belphegor just got off his flight back in Rome. He got into the car that was waiting for him wich took him back to the base. He walked in and was greeted by Squalo and Luss,

"She pulled one over on you to?" asked Luss laughing

"Well that's what happens when you send a cross dresser to do a man's job!" Squalo laughed out.

"At least I didn't get covered in honey." Bel said through clenched teeth.

Squalo shut up turning a cherry red color, this caused Lussuria to laugh even louder as Bel let out a huff, and walked up the grand staircase to Xanxus office.

He opened the door and saw a smirk on Xanxus's face. "Care to knock next time." He said amused at the troubled look on Bels face.

"What do you want with that girl?"

"Well I was thinking of making her a member of Varia, with her being the swan and all."

"Swan?, what the hell is that supposed to mean.?" Bell asked getting annoyed

"The symbol of the Simon family is a swan; their sky ring has a piece of all the other jewles in bedded in it. The swan has the ability to use each and every power.

"So, he would be a good weapon."

"yes we tried to get her when she was fifteen, but her family hid her."

"She made it sound like she hated the Varia."

"her parents where killed by our operatives, so I can imagine she does,"

Bel laughed, she's interesting, how do you plan to make her join?

"force if needed."

Dino's training was intense in the two days she was able to keep her dying flame up for three hours now if needed without feeling winded, Val was relaxing in a bubble bath as she thought over everything that had happened, He told her about how her ring worked. She had almost mastered every part, except for the mist. Her illusions never stuck around for long. Tomorrow night she was going to be going to japan. Tonight I am going to play zombie hunters nightmare. She thought as she towled off. She walked into the room an set up her gaming station. She got into a pair of fuzzy pj's and put in the game. She was two hours into playhing when her cell phone started to ring, she pasued it an crossed the room.

"Hello"

Hey Shay, it's me Jessica.

Hey Jess, what are you doing.?

I am in Cali, and going to be going to a new club soon. I just wanted to call and tell you that I was going to be bring back souvoniers!

After talking to her for a good hour Val decided she was going to meet up with her at the club X=cite. She was finished dressing. Her pretty black mini tutu skirt her neon purple fishnets, and her knee high stellto boots, She was fighting to get her black corset tied up when there was a knock on the door.

"come in"

Dino walked in the room and his jaw dropped. Her long blond hair was in pigtail curled in ringlets her skirt showed off her amazing legs, and the fishnets, and boots only made them look better. He tried not to laugh as she cursed with her top.

"Is this your usually gaming attire?" he asked walking over to help her tie up her corset."

"no, I am actually going to go to a club and meet up with a friend before we leave for Japan tomorrow." She said with a smile.

"really.." Dino said.

"yep, it's only a couple miles from here so I don't think it would be a problem."

"your going to walk there, In those boots."

If you wanna give me a ride it would be awesome."

Are you sure it's a good idea for you to go. The Varia could still be around.

I am covered I have my gun in my purse and blades in my boots.

"fine but before you go I'll give you a present the lab just sent up.

When she got down stairs Dino was waiting with keys in hand he handed her a tube of pink lip gloss. Val took the tube and looked at him questionly. "They make cosmetics now?" she said with a smirk

"It has a neurotoxin in it. If you kiss someone while wearing it will paralyze them.

"Well that's good won't it hurt me?"

Nope you're immune. It's the same formula that your mother used.

She placed the tube in her purse, and fallowed Dino outside,

She got out of the car in front of the club, she couldn't help but feel the stares of people on her as she stepped out of Dino's Corvette.

Jessica ran up to her, and gave her a tight bear hug. It's been forever, you look awesome Shay! Jessica squealed.

Val smiled and they walked up to the door. The door keeper took a look at Val, and waved them through. The club was packed, the music was blaring and the dance floor looked like a sea of glow sticks.

She and Jessica made their way down the stairs to the club floor. They found a table at the end and they were talking about the shirtless guys around the club. I missed this so much Val thought as she watched her friend drool as her eyes roamed the dance floor.

Belphegor, Squalo, and Lussuria were up in the VIP part of the club, getting the protection money for this month from the club owner when Bel saw her walk in. His jaw dropped and her could only stare. She looked erotic in the short tutu skirt, her chest which he knew was big, was all but popping out in the corset she was wearing. Lussuria saw Bels face, and looked out of curiosity at what he was staring at. Then he tapped Squalo on the arm.

"He let her out." Luss whispered to Squalo.

"what?" Squalo looked at him confused.

"The Simon girl is here." Luss said laughing pointing at bels face.

Squalo jumped up nd grabbed his sword. I am going to cut that little bitch for what she did!. He yelled causing the owner to squirm.

"We can't do that" Lussuria said reasoning with Squalo, who refused to listen. Their conversation ended with Squalo tied and gaged, and being left in the VIP room.

Jessica and Val where sitting at the table sipping on their drink when Jessica got asked to dance, she looked at val who nodded and said "I'll be fine" she smiled as she watched her friend go to the dance floor and get lost in the sea of music, bodies and glow sticks.

Valentina felt eyes on the back of her neck, sending a chill down her spine. She turned in her chair to see a guy with a tiara on his head. "Shit" she said out loud

She got up and walked with hast up the stairs and out the door she was about to leave when she heard her friend cry out her name. "Shay!"

She turned and saw the guy she left with had a knife to her neck. They were down the alley behind the club. "Hello Valentina" the guy cooed

"Let her go." Val growled her hand slipped down to boot pulling out two knifes.

"Those won't be needed principessa" said a whisper in her ear.

She turned to see him face to face with her.

"What do you want." She growled

"You, of course, and if you come quietly we'll let your friend go."

She looked back at Jessica she was crying, scared, and had a little bit of blood dripping down her neck.

"fine, but let her go first." Val said defeated.

The strange haired man was slowly moving the knife from her neck when Jessica, and the man let out a painful cry.

Val's scream got caught in her throat; the strange haired guy was lying on the ground. Jessica was lying in a pool of blood a sword ran threw her stomach. Val knew she was dead, as she heard the disgusting sound of the sword being pulled out. She went into a rage. Her ring glowed as the wings spread to her back.

"I'll kill you Bastard!" She yelled as she let her knifes fly at the white haired guy. As soon as the knifes left her hand she turned and went to kick the guy behind her. He grabbed her ankle and she was on her back in a second the blond haired boy had her pinned. I make a call, I can handel all thre of them, think of a way out damnit. These thoughs went round and round in her head. She looked back when she heard that creepy giggle.

"the terrified look suites your principessa" The Belphegor said.

Val did the only thing she could think of, she leaned up her head, and gently sucked on the guys lower lip. She felt him shiver, and a sly smile played across her face.

"did you come to take me away from the castle?"

"Did you take care of my knife?"

Val nodded. He leaned down and kissed her. His lips where soft, and the kiss was gentel. She could feel the need behind it though. So she kissed him back her tounge invading his mouth wrestling with his. This went on for a couple of minutes, until they where interrupted with a cough from the white haired guy.

"Oi, I am still here you bastard." Squalo said annoyed.

Belphegor glared at Squalo as he picked up Valentina and walked back to the clubs rear entrance he stepped over the dead body, and told Squalo he'd better clean up the mess.

Valentina was surprised when he picked her up and cradled her in his arms like a baby. She didn't expect him to be strong like that. She knew what was probably going to happen and was trying to think of was this could pan out. He didn't say a word as he walked her back up to a Vip suite and opened the door tossing Valentina on the bed. He walked back over and shut the door, the lock made a deafening click noise.

"I am going to go freshen up beforehand" She said timidly grabbing her purse.

"Fine. I have to make a call anyways." Belphegor said pouting.

She walked into the small bathroom. Shut and locked the door. There were no windows. Damn she thought. She opened her purse and sent a text to Dino, telling him what happened. His replied came in seconds telling her he would be there in fifteen and to stall. No shit she thought. She spotted the lip gloss and put a coat on her lips. Then she walked out to see a half-naked boy sitting on the bed. Her mouth feel open he looked small but he had perfect abs. She walked over to him and sat next to him.

"umm…." Valentina blushed seeing the bulge in his Ed Hardy underwear.

He laughed as he slid closer, and pinned her to the bed. he used his right hand to pull her arms up over her head, while his left starts sliding up her leg. He kissed her check and then slowly moved down her neck to her collar bone. She let out a moan. His touch felt like fire running up and down her leg to her thigh, and then back down. His light kisses where traveling lower and lower.

"Stop." She moaned

"why" he whispered

"this is my first time." She whispered back

"I'll take it easy on you. He whispered in her ear causing her to shiver.

He took his hand and moved her soaked lacy underwear to the side, and slid a finger into her core. Valentina let out a gasp, and arched her back as he touched something inside her. Ten more minuets she thought. She moaned louder as she felt his tongue run across her clit as his finger gently touched the spot inside her. A knot seemed to be forming deep in her stomach. "stop.. Stop… Stop…. Please stop… Valentina whimpered between moans. He pulled his finger out of her, and then pulled her closer to his mouth, while holding her in place. She screamed as his tongue danced violently across her clit. She couldn't tell what was going on in her body. Her legs started shaking, and her head was spinning. All she could feel was him. The knot was getting tighter, and tighter. Suddenly he stopped

"You still want me to stop principessa?" He asked his voice sounding like liquid honey to her ears.

"please, I feel like I am going to explode… it's uncomfortable…" Val whimpered her voice shaky.

"That's called an orgasm, you'll feel better soon.."

He put his mouth back on her, and slipped a finger deep inside her he rubbed her inner spot as his tongue lapped at her buddle of nerves. He felt her walls start to contract, smiled as he heard her scream his name as she soaked his hand. Bel giggled as he licked her clean. She tastes like candy he thought. He climbed back on top of her. She was panting, and her whole body was trmbling.

"You're so beautiful principessa." He whispered in her ear.

Valentina was trying to gather her thoughts. Her body wouldn't stop trembling. She could still feel his touch. She didn't even have the strength to speak to tell him to stop sucking on her neck, that is was hurting.

Dino's men rushed the club the he ran ahead of the Squalo using his whip to pull the sword away from the squawking man. He was opening up doors like a crazy person trying to find which room she was in the frantic thought raced across his mind. When he heard that insane giggle, He opened the door and barley dodged the knife that flew by his head.

"TCH!, So annoying." Bel yelled he went to glare at the person standing in the doorway.

Valentina saw the fire in Dino's eyes he was pissed. Shit he's going to kill him was the thought that passed. Without a second thought she grabbed the princes' face and kissed him on the lips.

Belphegor didn't know what to think. He was getting ready to fling a knife into the broncos head, and then her lips where on his. The sting let him know what was going on first. The venomous kiss was spreading through his veins in seconds he fell on the bed, numb unable to move a muscle. He could only glare at the bronco, and his princess.

"Now you kiss him!?" Dino exclaimed pissed

"He's paralyzed, can you get out so I can gather my things please." Valentina sighed

"Whatever, I'll be right outside." Dino said as he shut the door.

Valentina moved his hair away from his face as she wiped off the lip gloss.

"If you were any other guy I would kill you for doing that to me." She growled.

Valentina gathered her things in a hurry, the thoughts of everything that had happened hitting her mind like a flood. Jessica's blood, the white haired man, and then the things that happened with the paralyzed boy lying on the bed, she pushed the thoughts into the back of her mind. Later she thought the time to cry was later. She grabbed a pen out of her purse and wrote down her cell number real fast; and slipped it into the pocket of his jeans that where lying on the floor. Along with another one that said nice try Varia; and stuck it to Bel's forehead. Then she pulled out his cell phone and snatched a picture, sending it to the contact labeled BOSS (DICK) under his contact list. She kissed him on the cheek before leaving the room, without uttering a single word.

Two hour later Belphegor could finally move. He was pissed, that stupid horse fucker. He cursed. His mischievous princess and her poison kiss surprised him. He slid his jeans on and picked up his phone, sliding it into his pocket. He felt a piece of paper. When he opened it he saw the lipstick stamp, and a number. He giggled as he thought of how she squirmed, ached and cried. It was the most glorious music he had ever heard. He opened up the phone and sent the text.

Valentina didn't say a word when they got back. She slammed her door and proceeded to cry into her pillow. She thought of Jess, and all the mistakes she made. She cried for how long she didn't know. She didn't even hear the knock on the door, as Dino walked in. He pulled her up just hugged her.

Dino sat there till the sun started to raise, the sleeping girl in his arms. He didn't know why but he was ready to kill the fake prince when he saw the way he had her pinned. Hell he was still mad, He was beginning to think of Valentina as his little sister. Belphegor wasn't the type of guy that he'd even want his worst enemy to date. That guy is pure evil he thought as he laid her down and went to check on the preparations to leave.

Squalo got in the car and drove to the base in Cali. He hurt a faint whining from the back seat, as he looked in the review mirror he saw Luss was cradling the girl. I should have killed her he thought with a frown, but there was something innocent in her hazel eyes that made him want to save her.
