Hey! I wanted to get this up before the new year so I will have the full improved version up soon! Still, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's kinda funny.

Well, the situation was to almost everyone else, but for the two of you it was do or die.

And, you thought as you stared down the sopping wet blond in front of you, he was so DEAD.

It was beautiful, he thought, the crisp, fresh wind blowing through his unruly blonde locks. Giotto lifted his face, blue eyes smiling at the clear sky above trailed through with the wisps of pure white clouds. The time on the boat had been nice, but to finally be back in Japan once again was far even better. Not to mention, he glanced slyly over his shoulder…

"Oi! Giotto! Wait up damn it!" He smirked.

"Got to be faster than that G!" he called out to his aggravated red-haired friend. Igniting I-gloves Giotto launched himself into the sky, "I'll see you back at the hotel! Don't forget the luggage!" he shouted down with a last brilliant grin before streaking off into the blue skies above. He'd been waiting to do this for weeks, G was just a spoilsport when it came to having fun like this he thought with a spreading grin as blonde bangs whipped across his face, and besides, it's not like flying around and stretching his wings, so to speak, would do him any harm.

You sighed, stretching back your shoulders as you sat, formal as ever, at the low table as your rested upon the soft tatami mats waiting to be allowed the freedom to leave. Today had been as stressful as ever with all that had been going on and you could only hope for the chance to relax after this. Preferably, you looked, not amused, to the company seated at the same table as you, alone and undisturbed. Men, you thought as the conversation continued, why does it always have to be men?

Giotto sighed as he gazed up at the sky once more from his position atop the hill. The cool shade and comfort gifted by the dainty trees weaving in the wind was heavenly as he watched the clouds pass coolly overhead. Distant and removed from the earth, much like his own guardian, they still brought forth the impression of soft fluffy sweetness; a comparison that never failed to make him laugh whenever he tried to apply it to Alaude.

Still, he though, the blonde finally making the motion to sit up, it was time to go back to the hotel. G would not be pleased if he remained unwatched for to long and he still wanted to be in time for dinner. The native Japanese cuisine was always delicious after all. Giotto began a comfortable amble down the soft green hill, he would fly back later, after he further enjoyed his outing.

You moved fast. No one would contest the fact that you were a being crafted with grace and beauty inherent. They would not try your temper either, if they were wise at least. Which was why you moved with a purposeful, never rushed, rude, or undignified, speed down the hall, a faint voice calling out to you from where you came.

Men, you thought, when could they ever not be a bother?

That was, in truth, part of the reason you headed to your destination, installing words of warning to the hired men – why was it always men? – flanking your sides before you entered the one place a woman was guaranteed to be safe and sliding the down closed behind you with a certain deftness. It was good that the one place you could be safe was also a place that would help you relax. Moving to collect one of the buckets along the way you selected a basket on the shelf as well, untying the stiff detailed obi tight around your waist. The kimono slid from your shoulders.

The women's bathrooms.

The one place no male would ever dare tread.

Your sanctuary.

The day was beginning, not to grow dark, but for the sun to lower in the sky and landscape to be painted across with the iridescent color only mother nature seemed to be able to paint her skies with. The conjure was gorgeous and never the same, always reminding the blonde Italian of the colors of his guardians interlocked with the weave that all of nature presents. And it was always the most gorgeous when he was airborne, wrapped among the midst of everything his self and letting the kaleidoscope effect slide over his skin in an ethereal warmth reminiscent of soft rays permeating the sacred colors of cathedral mosaics done up in their own glass sheaths.

Small smile tugging the corner of his lips Giotto regretfully began his descent from the sky in grace towards where he knew their hotel to be located. Then, approaching the earth, orange eyes of iridescent sunset focus on the large cloud of fair colored smoke rising up to meet him.

At first worry of a fire and injuries prompted him to move as he realized the source to be hotel his own party resided in. Then he slowed again, dropping to earth as he belatedly noticed the lack of ash and of the charred burning smell he himself had become so familiar with as a result of his own powers. He found himself instead passing through a thick cloud of steam seemed to come from the ground to which he was descending and obscuring visibly in his surroundings. Finally he felt his feet tap silently to a landing on slick stone as looked bewilderedly around his surroundings. What was this all for?

You sighed, you could have moaned, as you soaked in the warmth of the waters around you. Baths were wonderful in themselves, but the big bathes were the best. The heat and feel of the steam was glorifying and pure against your tired muscles, sore from being placed in rigidly polite poses the entire day. The warmth of the natural spring bathes of the Onsen were truly your favorite. Your uninterrupted time of peaceful, pleasurably sanctity.

Finally you stood allowing the waters to cascade from your body. Regrettably it was time to return to the inner parts of building and hopefully to your personal rooms, alone.

It was then that a flicker of something caught your eye.

Look around Giotto finally spotted a figure through the thick steam and moved forwards identifying slick rocks and steams pool of water before finally looking fully at the figure. Water was rolling of the woman's skin. A lot of her skin. Her totally bare and exposed skin. The skin showing from her totally naked bod-

"OH MY-!"

You looked up fully at the 'visitor'. The blonde male visitor to your bathes who was staring directly at your-

"AUGH!"

The blonde man yelled something and shock, stuttering, he backed away, slipped, and came down with an enormous splash in the pool behind him even as you attempted to find a way to cover yourself.

"Mistress!" came the shouts from the bodyguards who had recognized your shout even as you quickly wrapped your self in a plain white yukata from the inn. "What's wrong?"

"Get in here!" you snarled even as you stalked over to the unfortunate blonde who was staring up at you in horror from the pool as you towered over him even as the bodyguards practically broke down the bath door to get in to you. Your cool narrowed eyes meet his fearful blue.

This man was as good as dead.

And you were going to make sure of that.

Hey! So what did you think of this chapter? Originally it was going to be longer and have end at a different point, but first I wanted to get it up before the new year, that was my goal, so I posted it early and unedited. Then, going back over this now and looking at all the lovely comments I have received from you all - Thank you so Much! - I've decided to go ahead and split it into two parts and post the second half of what will happen later. It will be fun! I can promise you that!

And, before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIOTTO! See, there is actually a reason I chose to post Giotto's chapter for today ^.^-.

Anyhow, I've gone through and edited some things in this chapter, like some of the horrid grammar it had before, so this should look better than what I originally put up (with 1 minute 38 til midnight I might add). Anyways, I hope you all enjoy reading this even more than I enjoyed writing it.

I know my updates are still a little bit on the weird and wacky side of scheduling right now, but please bear with me. Hopefully things will easy up a bit once I have all my college Apps in. I still have to finish drawing my entire art portfolio and then maybe write three essays for another College I've just started considering. Would any of you recommend Trinity Western in Canada? Just wondering...

By the way, I went to Ikki-con in Austin TX today (Sunday Jan 1st) anyone else there by any chance? Because it was awesome! I got a gorgeous matted print and and two wall scrolls: Junjo Romantica and A Vocaloid one wear the Vocaloids on it are all in chibi style as a belated Christmas present for my friend. It's so cute! I had some other really totally completely absolutely gorgeous prints I wanted to get as well, but I had less money than I though. They also had kimonos! I soooooo wanted one. Anyhow, it was all really lots of fun and I'm really glad that I went even though I literally found only 4 pieces of KHR fan products there. Only FOUR! Any they were tiny! I wanted to get a Tsuna plushy, but they didn't have any. Still, it was a really great and awesome time other wise.

Thank you all! I'll make sure to properly respond to all the reviews I received for this chapter when I post the next one, but to Disk9; Thanks for pointing that out, I've gone back and fixed it now, Thank you!

For now, here is my thanks to everyone who reviewed, commented, alert and favorited during the last chapter.
