"I do not go to Italy."

"Kyuu! You can't be afraid of Italy forever. You have as much right to be there as Aro does! There's nothing he can do to keep you out!" Bella exclaimed, placing her hands on my shoulders. I shuddered at her touch.

"Hey, Bells, what's the deal with her and Aro anyway?" Jacob asked. Bella shrugged as the story popped into my head. Edward translated my thoughts for them to hear.

"Ooh, harsh." Jacob said, cringing slightly. Seth stared at his feet. I started walking away from the group.

"Alice says that Aro's going to kill Roxy if someone doesn't stop her." Seth stated, stopping me in my tracks. I paused for a moment and then slowly turned around, a wicked grin plastered unnaturally on my face.

"I will go… But I am not going by myself."

Edward heaved a sigh. "Fine, alright. The four of us will go with you."

My grin turned into a smile. "Arigato gozaimasu."

****************************

It was a short hop, skip, and jump to Italy and I was sure I was not the only one worrying. Bella and Edward had had there own run-ins with the Volturi before so surely at least Bella was on edge. We stopped in Volterra in a very familiar plaza.

"Let's make this quick. I really don't want to be here any longer than we have to be." Bella muttered, clinging to Edward's arm.

"Just behave yourselves. And do not make me regret not having put you all on leashes." I sighed marching forward, sniffing around for my drunk friend.

"I found Roxy." Seth said, wrinkling his nose from the apparent scent of alcohol.

I turned to look at him and saw him staring at the top of the clock tower. I followed his gaze and saw, to my horror - my quirky friend was hanging off the hands of the clock.

"Oh, no way…" I mumbled as Jacob started laughing.

"Well, well, what might we have here?" Came a voice from behind us.

I slumped my shoulders and turned around slowly, "Konichi wa… Aro-san…" I made sure there was no emotion on my face as I greeted him.

"Kyuu-san, it's been such a long time! How have you been, my old friend?" He walked forward and captured me in a hug.

Edward-kun… Please go get Roxy-chan down from there… Knock her out if you have to. I thought as I snaked my way out of Aro's grasp. Edward wiggled his out of Bella's grip and disappeared.

"Kyuu-san, why haven't you come to visit me? We really miss you around here." I sighed, closing my eyes. After a moment, I opened them again, a sickeningly lovey-dovey look claiming my features. I took Seth's hand and leaned against him.

I am sorry, Seth-san, but I am going to have to use your love for me to my own advantages.

"As you can see, Aro-san, I have been making my way around the world looking for someone to replace the emptiness in my soul … I found him in America and have been unable to leave his side ever since." I gave Seth a small hug as he blushed and stared disbelievingly at me. Jacob did a double take and Bella's jaw dropped ever so slightly. Aro looked completely dumb-founded and shocked beyond all reason. I giggled sweetly, disgusted with myself. When Edward reappeared at Bella's side, he sent me the utterly disgusted look I deserved.

"Well, since you're here, Kyuu-san, why don't we get together and catch up on all the time we've missed in each other's lives, shall we?" Aro grinned, widely, trying to hide his shock.

I grimaced slightly. "Oh ,why not. Seth-kun, how about tagging along with Edward-kun and the others and find Roxy-chan a place to recover, ne?" I said lovingly, pushing him towards Jacob and Bella.

Edward-kun, please tell Seth-san what I did and apologize to him for me. I winked at all of them and then took Aro's offered arm.
