Previous Chapter :

When they far enough, they stopped a moment and look at their home. Their home become inferno. Red. Everything they see just a red. Their home engulfed in flames, creating an inferno. Their parents took down the man with them. They sure their parents killed. Before they taking their leave, they can see a flag with Shinonome's symbol. Then they riding their horse away.

We'll miss them. Sorrow voice of their heart said together.

At least, we have each other. My only imouto/aniki.

Chapter 2.

Sicily, Italy.

In the Sicily port, there is a young man about 15 years old. For 15 years old, they both quite handsome. Especially, the blonde young man. He has defying gravity blonde hair that seems fluffy and sprinkled with gold dust. Of course with a pair of stunning blue eyes that seems like saw the deep of sea. His name is Giotto. He don't has last name because he is orphan like his friend.

His friend name is G. Something about hate his name like that then he ask Giotto to just call him G. Actually, G true name is Gabriel. But, because he think Gabriel is too feminine for a guy like him so he short it thus he called G. G is a young man about 15 years old. He has shoulder-length red wine hair that seems pink. And a pair of scary red eyes. He don't has last name because he is orphan and throw away his last name. G hate his last name. His curse last name.

Now, both this young man in one of motel near Sicily port. In young age, G know that his friend Giotto has this demon intuition (Giotto : Hey! It's Hyper Intuition, you know?!). Right now, Giotto and G stay night because Giotto's intuition said so. It said that they will meet someone that will change their life.

"Gio!"

"Hm? What is it, G?"

"We stay night in this motel about a week now."

"So?"

"What do you mean by so, you damn idiot?!" G punch hard in Giotto head and success make Giotto wince in pain. But then Giotto begin to pout like a child.

"But G, I don't know what you would say so I just answer I don't know. Simple as that, right?" whine Giotto with a pout and clinging to G's arm. "Of course you don't know, you idiot! I haven't say it to you yet!"

"Muu~ you are so mean, G. How could I be friend with you?"

"Think about it yourself, idiot!"

"But, I'm not an idiot, G!"

"ARGH! I GIVE UP!"

Giotto just pout and whine like a 5 years old child toward G. While G sigh in frustration because Giotto's antics. But actually Giotto laugh mentally and dance in victory mentally while he look at his friend.

"G?"

"What is it?!"

"I want to buy strawberry shortcake. Will you accompany me?"

"God damn it! How could you can think to buy a cake in the situation like this?"

"It's because I'm hungry, G. Of course I can think to buy a cake in the situation like this."

"Okay. We will buy something to eat but not cake. Are you understand, Giotto?" the tone in G's voice is stern yet not angry. This for Giotto to take a warning if he insisted on buy a cake, he will face his consequences. This make Giotto even more pout like a baby.

"Yes, I understand, G," a defeated tone can hear from his voice. A smug smirk blossom on G's face. Make Giotto scowled because he can't have his beloved strawberry shortcake.

"Now, tell me what this intuition of yours has been telling you until we have to go to a port?"

"Ummm…kind of we will meet a person that will change our life to be better."

"Better like what?"

"I don't know, G. I know that was random to me too."

"Whatever."

"Okay."

Then, Giotto and G start to wandering around port. When the sun on it way to sink, a big ship anchored. Giotto and G pause a bit to see it. The people on board began to get off from big ship. They think it's just an ordinary people. When Giotto was about to take his leave, Giotto's intuition started to acting out again. Make Giotto pause and G stopped too. When they both look at people on board, Giotto's breath hitched slightly and he is stunned. G just looked around with scowl on his face.

There. Giotto can see the most beautiful young lady in his life walk with a tall young man beside her. They are holding hand each other. The bridle of two horses in the hand of a tall young man. They both wear some Asian clothes. But what draw Giotto's full attention is a beautiful young lady. Especially her hair. She has a rare hair color. A bloody beauty red hair that passed her hip tied braids style in left-ride side with white ribbon. Her hip bangs frame fitly around her face. His heartbeat began to faster in his chest.

"Gio?"

G called his friend. But when he got no answer, he face Giotto and see that he is fixated on something. One eyebrow raised in surprise. Then G follow Giotto's attention and see a very beautiful Asian young lady. Of course his attention on her color hair. That color is rare thing. Red like his but his is slightly pink (G : Hey!) while hers is bloody shine red like blood. Beautiful yet look dangerous. G grinned wickedly at his thought. Maybe he found his lady already?

The reason why G think that his best friend maybe found his lady was because he always deny every existence of a girl that has close friendship with him. G think Giotto and that rare beautiful Asian lady in his thought then he just grinned like an idiot. G look smug while he fix his gaze at Giotto. Then, he bring his hand out and tapped lightly on Giotto's shoulder.

"Giotto?" this make Giotto snapped from his daydream.

"Yes?" a fast response while he turn his face on his best friend G.

"What makes your attention so fix on that rare beautiful Asian lady?"

"Wha–"

"Don't deny it, Giotto. I know that you just look at that rare beautiful Asian lady, right?"

"Wha-What do you mean by that, G? I don't look at rare beautiful Asian lady you speak of earlier!"

"Ho? Really?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I suggest that you should take immediate action so you will not lose quickly with another man."

"What do you mean by that?" in horror, Giotto response slightly panicked voice. G grinned widely because of that. By this fact, G know that Giotto fallen for her in first sight. G happy for his friend.

"You know that she has a rare hair color and beauty, Giotto. Many man will race to be able court a lady like that."

"What about a tall young man beside her? Maybe he is her lover, right?"

"Of course you should search for it yourself, Gio! Oh God! How can you be so helpless around this kind!"

"Okay, okay, geez. You are so mean to me!"

"Then, aside from that. What is your intuition telling you?"

"Eh?"

"Tell me that you are remember our intention of being here right?"

"Yes, I remember it, G. Don't look scary like that!"

"Good. Now what is your intuition telling you?"

"My intuition tell me to follow them."

"Them?"

"Yes, G. That tall Asian young man and lady."

"Oh…so this is your fate to have a lady with wondrous beauty like her, right?"

"Wha-What are you talking about?"

"Okay, okay, come on, Gio. We must look for that 2 Asians."

"Yes, lets."

Giotto and G walked out from Sicily port to go look out 2 Asians before.

*****IsaSaphira1804*****

Meanwhile with Asari and Narumi.

Asari and Narumi walked out from big ship. After incident their parents, they are save themselves with go far far away from Japan. Now they are in Italy. Sicily to be exact. With all of their thing and horse, they begin to walk away from port. They know that they can speak a little in this country. But that's enough. They can talk even with a rough language. Which matter that important is they are understand what they are saying.

Both Asari and Narumi know that there are people who look at them. Especially because their clothes and a rare hair color that Narumi has. A goddess beauty that Narumi has take attention almost on man and woman in country where they are going to live in. In Japan, Narumi has a several nickname like Kayuriēnso which means Red lilies of War. Beautiful yet dangerous. Beautiful and dangerous because of her looks and skill in weapon. The other is Goddess of Sun Amaterasu because Amateru always identical with color of red and her beauty. This two is the most famous of her nickname.

Especially Narumi feel like observed with intense eye. Honestly, that make her uncomfortable. Asari noticed too and gave a squeeze in gentle way with his hand. This make Narumi smile slightly. And tightly but gentle response squeeze on her brother's hand.

When they are away enough from port, they part slightly then climbed into their horse respectively. But when they want to riding their horse, someone called out for them. Make them stopped immediately. They both turn to behind. They can see a handsome two young man.

One is a handsome blonde gravity defying young man with a pair of calm yet stunning blue eyes. The other is a handsome red wine shoulder-length young man with a pair of scary red eyes. Asari and Narumi raised one of their eyebrows in confusion.

"What do you want from us, de gozaru?" Asari asked calmly with his rough Italian language while he is alert. Narumi too alert beside her brother.

"No, no! We are just want to talked!" Giotto say in panicked voice because he sense that these two very high alert. G just look at them in silence.

"What do you want from us?" now a melodious voice asked out her voice. Both these young that approached them pause slightly and blinked several time. When they turn to a source of melodious voice, both of them flinched slightly. Those tosca eyes is look at them sharply even they can see a dangerous glint in them. They feel a dangerous aura from this rare beautiful lady. They are sweat slightly and suddenly nervous. They began to see a ghostly shadow figure was grinning at both of them.

"No, no! We both just want to speak with you two."

"Is that so?" Narumi's aura just a slightly comfort so that the both of man is feel slightly calm.

"Yes!"

"Okay. Maybe we could, aniki?"

"Hm…maybe. Now, where should we talk, de gozaru?"

"I recommend you to a nearby café here. How about that?" this time, G voice out his opinion. Make him visible to this three of them. Asari and Narumi look at G then sighed in exasperation. Both of them nodded agree. That make him and Giotto sighed in relieved.

"Come on!" a melodious voice say again. Giotto take a look and can see this beautiful young lady look at him. He and G raised a one of his eyebrow. "What?" asked G in menacingly way. Even a scowl is visible on his face.

"Get on the horse, young man! You expected us to riding a horse while you both in a foot?"

Blush. A red dust spread on both of this handsome young man. They are not even aware that this both Asians is about to riding their horse. Then both of them try to get on their horse. G with his fast reacted to get on Asari's horse much to Giotto's annoyance. G was laughed mentally because he can see red dust began to spread around Giotto's face. Finally, Giotto get on Narumi's horse. Before that, Narumi back away a little so that this handsome young man can get on the back of her horse in front of her. Then, Giotto get on the horse with a bridle in his hand while Narumi behind his with her soft hands grip on his hip's clothes.

A red dust began to spread slowly but surely on Giotto's face. He is blushed. And his heartbeat began to beat even faster than before. Because he is so close with this goddess beauty yet rare Asian lady. Her soft straight slightly wavy red hair flow follow the wind. A red dust began to spread too in her gorgeous face but just slightly not like Giotto.

G was laughed hysterically in his mind because of Giotto's state of ridiculous sight. Even his shoulder began to shake because he must controlling his laugh. So that he isn't laughed so loud out. He is get on horse with his beloved lady. She is so beautiful yet dangerous. Asari raised one of his eyebrow when he look on his charge behind him. He can see this young man named G is controlling his voice so that he isn't laughed so loud out. Then he turn to where his little sister where about. This time, his eyebrows started to fuse because the state of both of them. His little sister grip on that young man named Giotto's clothes.

He must give this Giotto person a piece of his mind.

"Ha!"

Both Asari and Giotto stomping their bridle then four of them riding to a nearby café. After all, both Giotto and G promised to talk with them about something in a nearby café. Now they both arrived in the café named D'ziro. This café is a really homey than most café in Sicily. And this café too is both Giotto and G favorite. Both Asari and Giotto pulling the bridle so that their horse stop. They are tie the bridle to the available space. Then, all of them, I mean Giotto, G, Asari and Narumi walked in café. They are seat in seat that available to four of them.

"So, what do you want from us actually, de gozaru?"

"Ah…that was…"

"Let me handle this, aniki. Is it okay with you?"

Asari just shrugged his shoulder. He is believed in his little sister. "Then, for first question is what is your both name?" this make both of them flushed because just now they realized that they haven't introduced themselves to this two Asians.

"My name is Giotto and this is…"

"G. Just call me G. Nothing else."

"O…kay?"

"G!"

"Hmmph!"

"My name is Ugetsu Narumi and this man beside me is my big brother Ugetsu Asari. Now, what do you want from us?"

"We just want to talk to you."

"Then, what kind of talk that have to do with us, gentlemen?"

"Eh?"

"Don't play dumb, gentlemen. We can sense you two always stared at us since we on aboard from ship, right?"

"You sense it?!" panicked voice of Giotto could be heard. "Yes!"

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

They four just meet silence in peaceful ways. But then fortunately, the waitress from café come to their table to take orders. They four smile immediately and look at the menu book. Giotto order pasta alla norma and a glass of orange latte. G will has caponata and a cup of caramel macchiato. Asari will has spaghetti carbonara while Narumi will has lasagna carbonara. Both of them preferred a glass of green tea. As the waitress write it down then dismissed herself. Then silence again.

"I suggest you both to explain it to us already because we are very alert with you two considering our condition, de gozaru."

"Okay, okay, damn it! Geez you can't fucking wait longer will ya?!"

"Maa, maa, no need to shouted like that right G-san, de gozaru?"

"But–"

"G!"

"Okay! This just because Giotto told me to!"

"Since we were in one of orphanage in Sicily, I have a strong intuition. Then this strong intuition of mine telling me to a port. So yes we both go to a port and rent a room to stay night because my intuition telling me to. When we rent a room near a port, my intuition have been in silent and hummed in content. Then earlier when I saw you aboard with your brother, my intuition start to ringing again as if it telling me to follow you two. Then you know the rest already."

"And you believe your intuition just like that, de gozaru?"

"Of course I believe in my intuition. I could escape from danger a countless time because I follow my intuition."

"I see."

"What do you mean I see imouto, de gozaru?"

"He is telling the truth to us, aniki. I will predict that you want to become friends or something like that?"

"Or something like that," approve Giotto slightly with a single nod.

"Okay, de gozaru?"

"Food is ready!" the waitress come and place two plates of caponata and pasta alla norma. Then back again to take another two plate of spaghetti carbonara and lasagna carbonara. Then their drink. A glass of orange latte, a cup of caramel macchiato and two glass of green tea. Even though the green tea served is not Japanese tea but they are enough for them. After all they are bring Japanese green tea with them in their bag. So no worries. They begin to eat in silence but not before Asari and Narumi say Ittadakimasu.

They four is in awkward situation now. They eat in silent. They are not know each other except Giotto and G usually. Then Asari and Narumi too because they are brother-sister. Narumi raised one of her eyebrow and look at the nervous face of Giotto and G. They are extremely nervous because of something but she has a feeling that something was her aura. Many people especially her big brother Asari always say that she has a frightening aura when she is in her serious moment. Like before. She can remember exactly that both of them Giotto and G flinched because of her tone and when they both look at her. Mentally she is laughing in sadistic glee. Even her eyes show that sadistic glee. Narumi and Asari drink in calm way. Then Narumi put down her glass in it place. Then putting the elbows of both hands while unifying her ten fingers. Her tosca eyes flashed in gold amber color now. Even she can hear Giotto and G gulped in their drink.

"Now, before Giotto-san said that your intuition guide you to a port, waiting for someone that happened actually is us, stalked us, meet us then eat with us, right?"

"Yes. Do you believe me?"

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

Narumi raised one of her eyebrow in question manner. As if saying to Giotto that are you an idiot or something and something similar like that. Asari just looked at them in peaceful. He is going to believe his little sister in this matter. G too raised one of her eyebrow in accusation manner. He knows that his childhood best friend Giotto is idiot and it's friend but not in this extreme level. Giotto just blushing in embarrassment. Of course this both Asians would be suspicious but he was asked them to believe in him. How stupid and idiot he can get? Mentally slapping himself.

"You expect us to believe in you? Are you serious?" a deadpanned tone could be heard from her even though just a bit. Giotto fidget in his seat. Nervous also. G just looked at deadpanned while he is staring at Giotto.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry okay? Yes you both will not believe us. So yeah I just asked you both to spend time with us then you both can decided to believe us or not. How about that?"

"Sound like a good idea to me, de gozaru."

"You speak now aniki? Seriously?"

"Yes, imouto. Why? Are you expect me to silent until this conversation is over, de gozaru?"

"Yes!"

"Maa, maa, you wound me imouto, de gozaru."

"Idiot! How could you asked them that stupid idiot question? I expect you to not show your stupid and idiot manner but no?! You just blatanly show how much you are an idiot, Giotto?! Seriously?!"

"Ah! Ahahahahaah…" a nervous laughed could be heard in the background as response.

"Maa, maa, G-san, you don't have to be so angry like that right, de gozaru?"

"Don't fucking add –san to my name, you sword freak! And don't just laughed so carelessly like that, stupid!"

"Ahahahahaha, maa, maa." an easy going and cheerful laughed could be heard as a response.

"Don't just laughing like idiot, sword freak!"

How could G know that Asari is a swordman? He know it because he can see a wooden sword or bokken in Japan. Asari bring it as a memory of their parents. Narumi just has a thin smile in her face. A sad smile.

Giotto noticed this but he decided to just silent this time. His hyper intuition say about bokken-as-a-memory-of-their-parents and he choose to silent. G and Asari continue their little quarrel. But G failed to see a sad smile that Asari wearing now because of his mentioning about bokken which he brought as a memory of their parents. Giotto noticed a changing aura in these two Asians and patted his friend's shoulder. Telling him to stopped now. G stopped a moment and turn to face Giotto. He raised one of his eyebrow in question manner. Giotto give him a look that say shut-up-G-you-touch-a-sensitive-object-there or something like that. G silent a moment and turn to glance at these two Asians. He noticed a certain changing aura from dangerous one before, neutral one like before then sad one like this. Definitely about that bokken or so his thought.

"I'm sorry. Was I touched a sensitive object there?" G begin to asked in polite manner after he noticed a sad aura in them.

"Nah…it's okay, G-san. We were just remember our parents as well. Their moment when they was alive always in our heart until now, de gozaru." a sad expression shows in Asari's face while Narumi just closed her eyes after all she has a better control of her emotion. But she can't control her emotion in her eyes. So other people could noticed she is sad like her brother. In fact Narumi always has a better control of her emotion than her brother. She always wore a face without her emotion shows but her eyes always show that. Because of that, she is and still famous for her elegant yet naïve face. This kind of face give her a wondrous beauty that scarcely felt real. Like a wondrous beauty in fairy tail. Like a holy goddess beauty in legend. This explained of her nickname as Amaterasu a goddess of Sun from Japan.

"Okay? I'm sorry."

"Sorry for my friend here, Asari and Narumi." This time Giotto voiced out his opinion. He don't like just how this both of his new friends have sad aura.

"Yes, it's okay, Giotto-san."

"Narumi is it?"

"Yes, Narumi, Giotto-san. Why would you need from me?"

"I just want to say that your hair is beautiful like a holy fire that consume sinners." A praised slipped from his mouth for Narumi easily with his smile. Narumi shocked. Of course Asari and G too. A moment he can feel that a sad aura changing drastically to a shocked one. Giotto blushed furiously. Narumi too blushed in embarrassment.

"I-I mean…I've read legends about Japanese gods. Your beautiful red hair remind me of Amaterasu. A goddess of Sun. And your goddess wondrous beauty feel like you are not belonged to human. More to belonged to a God. A Goddess to exact." He said this in defense manner but he just say a more compliment for this lady. Her brother Asari will forbid him to court his sister for sure. Narumi flushed even more and can feel her face is hot now. No one has ever praised her like that as Giotto did just now. G and Asari in shocked state now. Their mouth hanging open like that.

"I-I mean…I just want to make you feel better and not sad like before and…and…just forget what I've said!"

Thus, history of Red Threads of Fate has decided to repeat itself.
