I was bored. Yes, bored. There was no other word for it. I sat against a tree, tracing the blade of a knife with my finger, humming silently. How long will it take to get into the Mafia anyway?, I thought.

*sigh*

At least I got myself noticed, now I've just got to wait to see what Bel will do...

(Several Hours later)

I sat from the entrance of the cave, watching the lighting crackle as if they were fireworks. It was pretty magnificent. The overwhelming sound of pouring rain filled my ears and the silent wind brushed against my cheek.

This is just like the day I met Bel.

I frowned. Where was Bel anyways? It had been two days already and he hadn't come to visit once. Was he still on the path of "getting noticed"?

Humph. Whatever. The lightning crackled.

My eyes were drowsy and threatened to close, but I was determined to stay awake. I had a feeling that something was about to happen; there was a lot of tension in the air recently. After all, for the past day I had seen several helicopters in the sky, heading over the forest. And one this I'm sure of is that they weren't going to the town to take care of the whole bank robbery issue. They were going the way Bel always went after he said bye to me. His castle.

Another flash of lightning. I could feel the heat on my face. I was dangerously close to the sound.

I hope Bel's okay, I thought.

Another crackle illuminated the air and I could see the silhouette of someone watching from a distance. I stared at them. A few moments later someone dashed over to my cave. Oh, it was Bel.

It was Bel and he was covered in blood, laughing his crazy, maniac laugh.

Bel stood in the doorway, dripping blood.

I blinked. "What are you doing here?"

He grinned. "Ushishi...hiding out I guess...?

He threw off his jacket and sat on the ground. I scooted over and joined him.

"Uh...Hiding...from what?" I asked, peering at him curiously. His entire body was covered in dark scarlet; even his face and tiara.

"Ushishi...oh you know..The police...the royal guards..."

Oh of course, silly me.

He slung his arm around me.

"Ew, don't do that you're all covered in blood" I said, plucking his arm off my shoulder.

Belphegor looked confused. "Well you're covered in blood too." He pointed out.

I looked down at myself. Huh, I guess I hadn't cleaned up since the bank incident. But at least it was dry blood.

"Ah...ok then."

Bel grinned, "So I'm assuming you did your charade already?"

"Yep," I smiled. "Saved a bank from being robbed, and a man from the Vongola. I mean, I also killed about sixteen people in the process...but you know...it was all for good intentions..."

"Ushishi heroic. And a man from Vongola? That's lucky."

"Yeah, would you like more details?"

He had a craving look on his face. "yes please."

So I told him every bloody detail, using careful word choice, especially when I got the part when I killed the boss. I looked at Bel.

He looked happy. Like way too happy.

"So what did you do?"

Bel jumped up like he had been waiting his entire life. "I killed my family."

I stared at him. The was a bit extreme.

"Wh-what?" I blurted out. I sounded like a weird seal or something.

"Yep."

And then he told me all the gory details (I didn't even ask). His explanation was, considerably, very long compared to mine. I was surprised. In short, he had poisoned his brother and stabbed his parents. When he finished, he looked at me with a hopeful look on his face, eager to see what I would say,

All I said was, "So...when you slung your bloody arm around my shoulder..that was your brother's blood..which means its on my shoulder now?"

Bel's face faltered. "Erm...yep..?"

"Ok...and Bel? GOOD JOB BUDDY."

I felt a little sorry for his family, but although it was pretty disturbing, I knew how much Bel hated them and I was strangely happy for him. I didn't know the people anyway.

Bel smiled and lied on his back, his head propped up by his hands and his legs crossed. Very casual for someone who just murdered their family.

The lightning crackled again outside the cave and we sat watching the sky.

"Now we've just got to wait.

"Yep." Bel looked quite dazed,

"Wait," I felt uncomfortable breaking the serious mood, but continued, " Did you seriously just run all the way here, through the lighting, from your castle?"

Bel sighed, I could tell he was beat.

"Yep."

"Did you at least take your tiara off?"

"Why?"

"you could've been electrocuted!"

"What, oh...yeah..I didn't think about that."

We laughed.

I sighed. "You should rest, I can tell you're tired."

"Yeah, ok, see you in the morning Regina."
