Ohayou Minna, sorry that I haven't been updating that much, but I do plan on updating more often. Also I'm going to intertwine the actual Kaze no stigma story into this one, but with only a couple of the arks.

Well anyways I hope you enjoy and thank you for reviewing! ^~^

Disclaimer: I do not own Kaze no Stigma~

Ayano's POV:

"I don't want to look you in the eyes you might call me away~"

'...'

"I don't want to give you a chance to make me stay~"

'...'

"And my hardest part of this is, I know my way back I don't want to go~"

'Shut up..' I thought to myself as my eyes slightly opened.

"And let you see all that has become of me~"

'Will you just shut up?' I groaned still trying to sleep.

"I should've know, I should've know, I didn't have a chance. How~" ((Caught in the Grey ~Icon for Hire))

"Just shut up already!" I shouted as I slammed my fist onto the petite alarm clock, causing it to immediately turn the music off. I slightly huffed as I lazily sat there, still trying to open my narrowing eyes. 'Why did I set my alarm to 6: 30 am after last night?' I thought to myself, remembering the exhausting role of taking down the top of that building.

'I guess I can go back to...'

Buzz!

"Great what now?" I asked as I looked over to my vibrating phone. I adjusted my foggy eyes to read the screen revealing the unforgetting name. 'Kannagi'

'Great, what does he want now?' I thought to myself as I picked up the phone answering it with a hint of anger. "Hello?"

"Yes, Ayano would you mind coming down to the Kannagi Residence for a morning breakfast gathering? Everyone is excited to meet you." Jugo said in a persuasive tone.

"Well father I would just love to~! After all, all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins must me dying to see me! Hey they might even give me the liberty as being there honorary target for training practice!" I sarcastically responded.

"Ayano can you please come?" He asked with a small sigh.

"Hn? How about...no," I retorted in annoyance.

"Well...will you come if I, let's just say; pay you?" he asked in a slightly pitch tone. 'Woah, that was weird.'

"..Keep talking," I said with a hint of interest.

"Be here by 7:30 am and a nice 1,000 dollars in a bundle with be handed to you,"

"Fine I'll be there," I said with little to no hesitation.

"See ya soon Ayano-" I pressed end before he could finished and began to get ready.

OOO3OOOO3OOO

At the Kannagi Residence:

I stood outside the main dining hall of the Kannagi's Main Mansion ignoring the stares that a few of my 'cousins' gave to me. With a short sigh I closed my crimson eyes and pushed the door open; allowing a flood of murmurs to fill my ears.

"Ayano, you've finally came," A familiar voice chirped as I stood there. I slightly opened my right eye to reveal my father grinning at me.

"Yeah," I groaned as the room turned quite.

"Well everyone, this is my lovely daughter Ayano, she's here to protect Kazuma for the remained of her stay." Jugo explained as the other Kannagi's slightly glared at me.

"You mean ex-daughter," I hissed as I walked over to an open seat in between Kazuma and Ren.

"Ayano-chan!" Ren slightly chirped as he grabbed my hand, forcefully pulling me down to be seated. Since when has Ren ever called me Ayano-chan, he normally says Ayano-nee….

"I've missed you so-much~" he purred as he leaped into my lap slightly, causing me to almost fall backwards.

"I missed you to," I smiled as I patted his head. But I don't miss you sitting on my lap. I thought to myself as a chuckle escaped my lips.

"Whats so funny Ayano-chan?" Ren asked with a blank face.

"It's nothing," I stated as I petted his head.

"Oh but it is something, why else would the great Ayano laugh?" A familiar irritating voice purred.

"Oh? And what would the Ass next to me know what makes me laugh?" I asked with a smirk as I turned my head to face his. Unfortunately that was a terrible idea seeing how his face was only a few inches away from mine.

"Trust me, I would know~" he leaned in slightly closer as his lips began to curl into a smirk. My cheek began to slowly heat up, aka I must have been blushing. He leaned in a bit closer, allowing only a few centimeters of room distancing our lips. "After all I could easily make you laugh or do other things," he chuckled as I felt the air exhaling from him mouth.

"Why you-" I almost cussed before Ren interrupted. "No Kazuma-nii, Ayano-chan is mine!" he pouted as he accidentally slammed his palm into Kazuma's once confused face. I immediately began to laugh as I hugged Ren closer. "Ren I know am in love with you," I said in a joking manner as I kissed his forehead. Ren's cheek turned from their pale translucent shade, into a furious red explosion.

"Ren, you littl-" Kazuma almost finished as he sat up in annoyance. "Your right Kazuma you can make me laugh," I smirked as he rolled his eyes. He finally sat back down on his spot and began to eat.

"You really are annoying," Kazuma grumbled as he took a bite of his onigiri. "Hn?" I groaned as Ren crawled out of my lap.

"You heard m-" "Oi Kazuma, your blocking my view," I hissed as I looked over to see a girl clad in a beautiful lavender kimono. She bowed slightly before she finally returned back to a sitting position. A horrid fake smile appeared on her face, as he bloody crimson eyes pierced into mine, but not in a way that was noticeable to others.

"Your Ogami's daughter?" I asked with the slightest confusion.

"Yes and Takeya's sister," she said with a closed eyed smile. "I would also like to thank you for your services to the Kannagi family, so I will take care of your every need. So feel free to ask for anything." ((I skipped the first ark but blah blah blah, Takeya died while Ayano was around so Misao thinks she helped… idk XD))

"Anything huh?" I asked as I walked over to her, sitting down in front of the smaller girl.

"I'll do anything that you want~" She smirked darkly at me, realizing that nobody could see her facial expressions besides me.

"Misao don't degrade yourself for the little princess next to you," Kazuma mussed as I felt a smirk appearing on his lips. "It's nice to know your opinion about me Prince," I hissed back at him with a heated glare.

"Thank you, but you really don't have to be so protective of me. I'm offering myself to Ayano as a way to pay back for her giving me revenge for the death of my poor, late Nii-sama." She said with a gentle smile.

"You do know that the princess was paid to do that? It wasn't because she wanted to." Kazuma glared ever so slightly at the two of us.

"Heh," I mumbled with a small smirk appearing on my lips. "If I was you Misao I wouldn't thank me. After all it really doesn't make much sense for you to do so. I was responsible for you poor brother's death~"

I slowly stood up as I stared into Kazuma's widened eyes. "After all Misao, if I haven't of knocked him out he wouldn't of died," I continued as I swiftly turned around to see her narrowing eyes filled with hatred. "But then again even without being wounded, he stood no chance~" Misao's body began to shake, a sound of weeping began to form in the back of her throat.

"Anyways, you can blame me if you wish to and if it makes you feel any better. Then you can use that pretty little knife that you have in your sleeve." And with that Misao quickly stood up, ejecting the small knife out of her kimono's sleeve, and charged at me. Anger radiating off of her.

"Ayano-chan!" Ren yelped as the blade slid between my arm and chest. "Hn?" I asked as I felt a small pain pinching the side of my arm. Woops, too careless of me~ I thought to myself as Misao pulled the blade back and aimed it at my chest. Thrusting the blade towards me. Sadly for her I caught her wrist before she could impale me.

"You know, I'm surprised, you actually got me!" I gestured to my know wounded arm.

"Ayano," Jugo asked as I turned my attention to him, "If you're not willing to apply an immediate punishment on Misao, then it become necessary for us to apply the appropriate punishment for her. Masayuki, as Misao's father, do you approve?"

"Yes, as an immediate part of the Kannagi family, Misao was take full responsibility over her actions."

"Your over reacting," I hissed as he sent a fierce glare towards me.

"Over reacting? Ayano how stupid are yo-" Kazuma almost finished before I cut him off, "After all she didn't kill me. Nor could she even if she tried."

"Well if you wish not to place charges then I still do have the authority to sentence her to a punishment, but it will be degraded in it's sheer volume." I nodded after Jugo's response while turning to face the door. ((which so happens to be were Ren and Kazuma are owo))

"It's not fair! Why did it happen to him, but not you? Takeya didn't deserve this! Why did he have to die?!" Misao shouted at me.

"You want to know why? Because he's weak." I deadpanned as Ren's eye twitched.

"Ayano thats some sick humor coming from the girl who was weak when she was younger." He smirked as I looked over at him with blank stare. "Are you done? Because I am," I snarled as I walked towards Ren at patted his head. "Au revoir~" I hummed as I began to walk out of the room.

Heyo, So that was difficult to right and it was only get more difficult thanks to my stupidity XD. Anywho thanks for reading and I'm sorry that I haven't updated recently.

High school is a jerk and I had to write 5 million essays, also this one that's going to be entered into a contest. (Any Rand's Anthem, which is a marvelous book!) Anywho thank you and please review.
