Hiding in the shadows: It's what she did best.  Alicia seemed to have the odd ability to just appear out of the shadows anywhere.  It wasn't that she was special or anything, more that she knew how to make the right steps from shadow to shadow, no one seeing her cross between them.  As long as there was a shadow, she could conceal herself.  That's why no one at all saw her was she slinked around the airport, making sure there were no, well, problems.<br/><br/>Low rank thugs, a few members of rival famiglia that should not have been there.  The ones that were a threat she dispatched of, their blood not even spilling on the concrete.  That was one of her specialties.  Since she learned to control her flame, Alicia perfected the art of cauterization with the blades on her guns.  Less mess, less to clean up.  Bodies are easy to hide, to dispose of.  Blood is messy.<br/><br/>Those who didn't pose a threat, she made sure they would never cross the Vongola Famiglia again.  She would lie and say she just scared them, but more often then not, she left them with several lasting scars to remind rival families that no one dared mess with the Vongola Cloud Guardian, making sure that the family was feared as much as it was respected.  At the moment, Alicia was watching the Vongola jet land, hiding in the shadows of the luggage train.<br/><br/>As Amaya was presenting herself to the Decimo, Alicia stepped between the shadows, appearing in the shadow of the ramp that lead down from the plane.<br/><br/>"You're back, I see."  Alicia fell in right behind the Decimo.  "The perimeter is clear, there were a few, well, run-ins, but they have been handled."  The young looking girl gave her report with an almost emotionless tone.<br/><br/>"I don't have to tell you that there are people, Famiglia, after you here in Japan, Tsuna-kun.  Your presence, while needed, puts you at risk."
