“X-Xanxus-sama,”
Haru greeted, her voice cracking under the strain, “what a pleasant surprise.”
“Oi, commoner, what the hell are you wearing?”
Belphegor inquired as he sauntered over to her, circling around her with a
sneer on his face. The people that stood nearby Haru immediately backed up,
some of them falling onto the ground after tripping over their own two feet.
“You look like you got a bedsheet and tried to pass it off as a dress.”
“Unfortunately, I have to agree with Bel-chan on
this one,” Lussuria’s voice was dripping with amusement. “You know you could
have gotten some fabulous gowns for this event. You’re representing the Varia,
after all!”
Haru twitched.
“Shishishi, look at their stupid faces!”
Belphegor laughed at how some of the guests yelped and stepped even further
away from him. “Makes me want to-argh!”
Haru’s foot discreetly stamped itself on top of
Belphegor’s foot before she grabbed him by the back of his jacket. She ignored
his squawks of indignation about attacking his royal person and dragged him
back to the rest of the Varia. Damage control! She needed to do damage control!
She shoved Belphegor into Levi before she smiled demurely at Xanxus, who arched
an eyebrow at her. Mentally, she was already reaching out to Mammon, knowing he
would hear her.
‘Mammon-san,
keep Belphegor-san entertained or else I’m going to use every and all of my
connections to make sure that your bank accounts remain frozen until the end of
time! And I mean all of them!’
Mammon stiffened. ‘You wouldn’t dare-!’
‘Oh believe
me, you have no idea what type of people I met while stuck on some stupid Varia
missions... that you all would abandon me in, might I add! I can deal with a
few measly accounts, including the ones that are currently being laundered
through the shell company in the UK!’
Mammon hissed in displeasure at the fact that
Haru knew about those secret accounts. He’d been so careful about hiding those
ones too!
Haru knew she was pissing off some dangerous men
right now (who’d gladly try to kill her in her sleep, by the way, Vongola
Familigia or not), but she couldn’t summon the will to care. Right now she
needed to do her job (god, this wasn’t even her real job in the Vongola!) and
that was to make sure the people around her didn’t think these five were
complete and utter nut jobs! Granted, that was the truth, but they didn’t need
to know that! And if it meant she had to use all of her trump cards right now,
so be it!
Her head snapped towards Lussuria, but the green
haired man was already giving her the okay signal with his hands. Mammon was
carting the hissing Belphegor, who was already ranting about the ‘bitch’ who
needed to be ‘put in her place already’ or some other diatribe of torture, off
to one end of the ballroom while Lussuria began dragging a protesting Levi to
where the buffet table was. Haru then turned to the most difficult one of them
all.
Xanxus.
Maintaining her sweet smile, she held out a hand
towards him.
“Shall we?”
Haru sighed as the other guests gave them a wide
berth from where they sat in one of the alcoves of the ballroom. She was
sitting closer to the entrance, watching the people whisper and glance at them,
while Xanxus sat deeper inside with an intense brooding aura that caused some
of the men and women to scurry away from them. This was definitely not helping
their cause.
What were they even doing here anyways?!
Fortunately, Lussuria was distracting Levi by
carting him to and fro to get more food and drinks for the boss so, there also
wasn’t a need for them to get out of the alcove either. Haru had no idea what
Mammon was doing right now with Belphegor, but she knew he wouldn’t dare go
against her right now, especially when she’d mentally shown him a glimpse of
how true of a threat she was when it came to his bank accounts.
“Haru,” she looked up and her eyes widened at the
sight.
“F-Francesco?” her voice came out as a squeak.
The blonde haired man then turned his gaze
towards the terrifying man oozing with a frightening presence. Cold sweat was
starting to form on the back of Francesco’s neck, but he refused to falter.
Besides he was a detective, for goodness sake! He was supposed to have dealt
with bastards like this on a daily basis! “I-I’m back because we weren’t done
with our conversation.”
Haru wanted to hit him. Hard. This was not the
time or place! “Unfortunately for you, I’m done with it, so if you could-.”
“No! This is the perfect opportunity. While he’s here, we’re going to have a nice,
honest chat about you leaving the Vongola!”
Haru’s eyes immediately shot towards where Xanxus
was and thanked the heavens that the man wasn’t moving. If anything, the
brooding aura intensified, but there was no bloodlust in the air. Oh, thank
god. She returned her attention to Francesco, the bane of her existence right
now. Also, who the hell did he think he was, trying to dictate her life like
this?!
“Francesco, if you don’t get away from here right
now, I swear-.”
“No! I-I never got to tell you this because you
were always busy with school and then I later found out that you were working
for the mafia, but I-.” Haru almost screamed. No, not right now! “-really,
really care about you, maybe even l-love you, and I can’t stand by and watch
you wasting your life away like this!”
From the corner of Haru’s eyes, she saw a
twitched and felt her stomach drop. Could this night get any worse? Why did
anyone believe moments like these were so romantic and replayed them constantly
in day time dramas? There was nothing romantic or dreamy about this! This was
terrifying!
“Fucking scum.” Came the guttural hiss.
Haru’s eyes widened and she barely managed to
release a yelp when she was forcibly dragged from the chair and onto Xanxus’
lap. Shit! A hand was splayed possessively over her waist and Xanxus was
sporting one of the most terrifying glowers she’d ever seen, which was saying
something since this was Xanxus she was talking about.
“H-Haru?” Francesco stammered, his eyes goggling
at the display before him.
“...Francesco... just go away,” she groaned,
knowing there was no recovering from this.
The blonde haired man continued to stare before
weakly staggering away. One could almost see his spirit floating off his body
due to his disbelief over what he’d just seen. That had to be a dream, right?
Cute and innocent Haru couldn’t be involved with a maniac like that, right?
“Was that really necessary?” Haru inquired in a
small voice, though her scowl remained.
“Perhaps I should blow his head off instead,”
before Xanxus could whip out his guns, Haru’s hands were already on top of his,
a look of panic and fury crossing her face.
“Don’t you dare,” she angrily hissed. “Let go of
them right now.”
The two glared at each other for what felt like
an eternity for the nervous party guests, who could sense their angry
bloodlusts from afar, when Xanxus finally released his grip on the guns. Haru
then slowly began to pull her hands away before her shoulders sagged, a sigh
escaping her lips while she crossed her arms.
“What are you doing here, anyways? You don’t like
things like this.”
“Hmph,” was the only reply she got and she tilted
her head to see Xanxus leaning back on his seat, apparently getting comfortable
to take an evening nap. She rolled her eyes and was about to crawl off of him
to get back to work, but found a strong hand holding an iron grip around her
waist and keeping her in place.
“Xanxus!” she hissed.
He, of course, ignored her. It took all of her
self control not to smack him up the head. Xanxus may let her get away with a
lot, but she knew hitting him was going to go past whatever demented and
twisted line he'd drawn up in his head. Besides, she knew he’d love to punish
her in his own equally warped way.
A chill went down her spine as she felt the
stares and whispers they were attracting. In fact, she could practically feel
the gossipers salivating at this new development. The dangerous mafioso leader
with an endless thirst for blood with the sassy petite researcher with the
wicked tongue?
All the damage control attempts in the world
wouldn't be able to smother that little flame of interest.
And so she leaned back, resting her head on top
of Xanxus' chest while her fingers knitted themselves together with his hand,
still possessively holding onto her waist. Might as well get comfortable since
she was stuck with this right now. Besides, it felt nice to have him around her
like this, even if he did irritate the hell out of her.
"Hahi," she sighed to herself, though
her exasperation was laced with fondness. "What am I going to do with
you?"
“Kyah!” the sound of plates shattering disrupted
the stiff ambiance of the ballroom.
Haru immediately sat back up when she heard the
scream. She squirmed against Xanxus’ hold, straining her neck in order to see
what was going on. Oh please, no. She did not have the heart for this!
“How dare you!” she heard Levi’s voice booming
and winced. Shit, someone probably said something stupid about Xanxus or the
Varia or some form of that combination. What was Lussuria doing?!
“Xanxus,” she hissed, but the stubborn man
continued to ignore her. Her temper flared and through sheer willpower, she
smothered the flames that threatened to explode. Now wasn’t the time for that.
Instead, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had to deal with one
thing at a time. Her priority right now was getting free from Xanxus’ stupid
octopus grip so that she could give Levi and Lussuria the tongue-lashing of the
century... but how to get him to let go?
She stared at the face of the man behind her. His
eyes were closed, though the permanent scowl still remained on his features.
He’d blow a lid if she did anything stupid and arguing would get nowhere. He’d
either ignore her or, if he was in a better mood, engage in a banter before...
kissing her stupid and doing stuff she knew she’d never allow in public.
Okay, arguing is definitely off the table.
Then what if...
Haru hesitated only briefly before she slowly
turned around. Her hand trailed up his chest and she could feel his firm
muscles briefly jump in surprise at the sudden touch. Her fingers then wrapped
themselves around Xanxus’ loosened tie. The older man’s eyes flung open when
she suddenly jerked at it hard, forcing his face to suddenly pull forward towards
her, as though he was some sort of leashed animal under her control. At first,
he stared at her incredulously until he noticed the icy cool fire glowing from
her normally soft brown eyes.
She whispered quietly only for his ears to hear,
her breath brushing so closely against his lips while she stared fearlessly
into his eyes. “Let. Go.”
In any other circumstance (and usually depending
on his mood), if a woman did this to him, he’d probably smack them for their
insolence. With Haru, he just stared, admittedly too stunned by the fact that
she’d try something like this on him. It was one thing when they were engaged
in a battle of the wills, but another when she was trying to order him around
like this.
He was preoccupied with his thoughts for too long
as Haru wiggled out of his loosened grip and quickly walked out of the alcove,
her voice trailing behind her. “Don’t move from there or do anything stupid,
Xanxus, or I swear-!”
The rest of her words were lost as she stared,
horrified, at the scene before her. There was a man cowering before Levi while
sparks were literally flying around the towering man. Levi snarled as he
glowered at the man. “Say that again. I dare you!”
Haru was going to blame Xanxus on this later. She
was picking up too many of his bad habits. Her fingers grabbed a nearby glass
and ended up pitching it forward with the form and speed that even Yamamoto
would be proud of. There was a loud shatter as the glass hit Levi smack on the
back of his head. The hulk of a man bellowed in rage, sending many guests
scurrying away in terror, as he whirled around, ready to unleash his wrath on
the idiot who dare harm him.... only to flinch when he realized just who it was
he was dealing with.
“H-Haru!”
“Levi-san,” she spoke serenely with an equally
serene smile, though internally she was seething with a fiery rage that would
put the flame of wrath to shame. “What are you doing?”
“T-They were insulting the-!”
“I asked,” Haru took a step forward and Levi
actually took a step back, “what the hell do you think you’re doing?”
Levi flinched, his arms snapping in attention by
his side. The woman before him may be petite and tiny, but he knew just how
formidable she could be. When Haru had first arrived at the Varia base, so many
people had looked down at her, but many eventually fell victim to her
terrifying acts of vengeance... and Levi wasn’t exempted from it as well.
The woman was fair and actually took in a lot of
flak, but push her too far...
He still had the scars from when his weapons had
exploded on him while he’d been in the middle of a mission. Apparently they’d
undergone improper maintenance, which, coincidentally happened right after he’d
threatened the little lady about behaving in a manner that would suit the
boss... meaning unseen and unheard. When he’d confronted her about it, she’d
merely smiled kindly at him, saying she’d take another look at it... only if he
said please and apologized for being so rude. His first reaction was to then
yell at her, threaten her, and even try to physically scare her... which led to
more bad incidents in everyday things people generally took for granted.
The showers refused to give him and only him hot
water. He’d gotten food poisoning almost every time after he recovered from the
last one. Not to mention the piles and piles of dirty laundry that never got
tended to! The woman was a she-devil when she wanted to be!
“Levi-san?” Haru inquired with a tilt of her
head, giving him a gentle smile that sent a chill down his spine.
“I’ll behave myself! I promise!” he yelled,
looking at everywhere but her with his arms by his side.
Haru stared at him for a moment longer before
nodding, satisfied for now. “Good. Levi-san?”
“Yes ma’am!”
“Xanxus-sama might be a bit thirsty. Please get
him something to drink. Oh, and some more food while you’re at it.” Ugh,
hopefully that’ll be enough to preoccupy that man for a few minutes. “And
where’s Lussuria-san?”
“Haru-chaaaaan!” the loud squeal immediately told
Haru where the green haired man was. She groaned and dismissed Levi away with a
wave of her hand, the older man being more than happy to escape from her
frightening presence.
Haru turned around and felt her blood freeze at
the sight. Apparently Lussuria had made a friend while she hadn’t been looking.
Shit!
“Haru, darling, it’s been so long!” a large,
voluptuous chest was the first thing that came into Haru’s line of vision.
Following that was a pair of beautiful emerald eyes behind a pair of tinted
glasses that glowed mischievously with the sparkle of a poisonous viper. This
was not good.
“Isabella,” Haru almost croaked.
The buxom lady immediately pulled Haru in for a
tight hug, nearly smothering her to death with her overly large badonkadonks.
“My dear girl, I’ve missed you! I always said we should keep in touch, but we
haven’t seen each other since that time you were kidnapped!”
Haru was gasping and coughing for air after
somehow managing to free herself from Isabelle’s impossible hold. The older
woman was a journalist for a prominent news company and there was a reason why
she was able to survive so long on the field and it wasn’t just because of her
drop dead gorgeous looks. And as mentioned, the two had met under rather...
unfortunate circumstances.
“What are you doing here?”
Isabella fluttered her long lashes at her. “Why,
I’m doing an article on the charity event, of course. Imagine my surprise when
my sources told me you’d be here... and possibly escorted by one of the
executives of the great Varia.”
Haru felt her back stiffened. She knew Isabella smelled
blood and was going in for the kill.
“But imagine just how more surprised I was when
it wasn’t just one, not even two, but five of them? Not to mention the elusive
leader making an appearance. Oh Haru, you lucky girl. You must be so well-.”
Haru pulled Isabella back in for a hug and hissed
sharply into the older woman’s ear while still sporting her amiable smile. “You
better not be writing some ridiculous article about me having some nightly orgy
fest with all of the Varia!”
“Oh, darling, you know I’d never do that to you.”
Isabella purred before pulling away, speaking loudly now. “I’ll just write
about the mad animalistic, table-breaking make-up sex that you have with the
Varia’s yummy leader on a daily basis. Xanxus, was it?”
Haru’s eyes widened almost comically before she
shot Lussuria a look of horror. The green haired man gave her a carefree shrug
and Haru whipped her eyes back towards Isabella, who had the look of a cat that
had just successfully pounced on its prey.
“Gotcha.” She purred, tossing her thick curled
brown hair behind her.
“Isabella,” Haru hissed.
“Ah, little Haru, you know how much I adore you.”
Isabella giggled. “Not to mention, dear Lussuria here has been just fascinating
me with the most amazing stories.”
“...Lussuria!”
“Oh Haru, you should learn to live a little.”
Lussuria giggled, giving Isabella a conspiring look. “Dear Isabella here was
just telling me how much she agreed with me on the idea that you and the boss
should-!”
“Is that all you people ever think about?” it
took all of her might not to shriek at them.
“-go on an official date together.” Lussuria’s
smile widened at how red Haru’s face was turning and began twittering behind
his hand. “My, my, where is that mind of yours going to? It’s the boss’s fault.
He just can’t keep his hands off of you! Not that I can blame him.”
“Indeed,” Isabella said while hugging Haru,
nuzzling into her hair. “She’s so tiny and cute! And when she gets angry, you
just want to tease her some more.”
"She is a cute little thing, isn't
she?" Lussuria agreed.
Traitor!!!
Haru's
mind screamed at him.
“So tell me, since you really don’t want me to
have the wrong impression,” Isabella continued while cuddling the unwilling
Haru against her ridiculously voluptuous body. “What exactly is your
relationship with that fine specimen of a man? If it wasn’t for that murderous
aura he carries, I’m sure women would be flocking to him in droves.”
“None of your business.” Haru hissed.
“Dear little Haru-chan is just so shy when it
comes to her relationship with the boss,” Lussuria supplied, shaking his head
with a slight click of his tongue. “Which is such a shame since they’re so
adorable together. Oh if only you could have seen how they first got together!”
Isabella’s eyes glittered with interest while
Haru stared at Lussuria in horror. “Oh? Do tell!”
Haru slapped her hands over Isabella’s ears,
looking ridiculous since the brunette was taller than her and Haru had to stand
on the tip of her toes to be able to cover them. “Do you really want to ruin
the Varia’s reputation? Have you forgotten why I’m here in the first place? Why
are any of you guys here anyways? You people hate, and I mean absolutely hate, stuff like this!”
“Well, the boss woke up from his nap and suddenly
barked that he was going to go out somewhere.” Lussuria hummed in amusement.
“So naturally, we followed to see what he was up to. Imagine our surprise when
he ended up coming to this charity ball. And lo and behold, it’s the same
charity ball that you were talking about earlier.”
“...X-Xanxus did that?” she didn’t think her face
could get any more exaggerated and distorted as it did since the moment the
Varia had arrived in this nightmare of a party, but she ended up goggling her
eyes comically at him.
“You of all people should know that the boss
takes care of what’s his,” Lussuria chuckled, loving how Haru seemed to flush
at this revelation. Of course she knew about Xanxus’ rough nature, but to
actually come to a stupid snooty party like this?
“And not just that,” Isabella suddenly
interjected while giving Haru a look as though to say ‘did you really think covering my ears would hide your conversation from
me? Silly girl!’, “maybe he also came because he was concerned about the
rumors.”
“Rumors?” Haru echoed. “What rumors?”
This time, Lussuria laughed nervously. “Now,
there’s no need to talk about frivolous little rumors like that.”
Haru zeroed in on the green haired muy-thai
expert. “Lussuria-nee. Explain. Now.”
Before the sweating man could say a peep, an
explosion occurred from behind them. Haru whirled around with Isabella still
glommed behind her and was ready to lay out the verbal beating to whichever
stupid Varia member had caused it this time, when she realized it hadn’t been
any of them. Well... it wasn’t all them, at least.
“Isn’t that a member of the... Pisano Famiglia?”
Haru inquired in confusion. She’d remember reading about the family in one of
the files. It was a small time mafia group who dominated over the city of Pisa
in Tuscany. “What are they doing here? And is that Belphegor-san and
Mammon-san?!"
"It's about time something happened,"
Belphegor laughed as he landed a distance away, blades already floating around
him. “What took you idiots so long? If you planned on ambushing this place, you
should’ve done it sooner. I was getting bored to death by how stupid this party
was.”
Haru’s eyes widened at the insults the cocky
prince was hurling. Argh, did any of these idiots really not understand why she
was here in the first place? The PR team must’ve been out of their minds
wanting to take one of these peons with her to the charity event! Sure, it
would have definitely been a good move if it meant showing the public a
different side of the Varia, that they weren’t all psychotic idiots who
probably would have been put down in another lifetime, but it could also make
things exponentially worse because of their ruthless and unmanageable
personalities!
“That one has a mouth on him,” Isabelle remarked
with a slight giggle.
Haru groaned. “They all do.”
“Hmph,” she heard Mammoth say distastefully as he
eyed the hostile mafia men, “at least you’ll be more worthwhile than having us
waste our time and money by donating to a stupid organization like this.”
‘Mammon!’ Haru
snarled in her head and felt somewhat satisfied when the half-grown
ex-Arcobaleno flinched hard. ‘I don’t
know what the hell is going on, but deal with it quickly and quietly. And get
Belphegor to shut up already!’
With that said, she turned to Lussuria.
“Lussuria-nee, could you grab Levi-san and make sure that the rest of the
guests don’t get hurt from all this?”
“Sure, sure, you’re the boss’s woman,” Lussuria
said teasingly and Haru’s face flushed.
“You know that’s not why I’m!-oh never mind,” she
sighed when she saw that Lussuria wasn’t even listening as he pranced away.
Haru peeked upward at the woman behind her. “...could you please let go now? If
you haven’t noticed, there’s going to be a blood bath in front of us.”
“I noticed alright,” Isabella hummed cheerfully,
never taking her eyes off of the fighting pair in front of them. Some of the
partygoers were crying and running away, trying to avoid the stray bullets and
flying knives that were going all over the place. It made Haru want to sigh.
So much for ‘quickly and quietly’.
“SHUT UP!”
Haru and Isabella both jumped at the booming
voice and Haru almost cried when she saw the laser-like flames shooting through
the air. Of course. What was she expecting? When was this nightmare going to
end already?
The flames ended up blasting right in the middle
of where Mammon and Belphegor were fighting against (more like toying with) the
Pisano Famiglia. The two Varia members yelped and high-tailed it out of the
area, barely avoiding the blast that would have torn them to pieces. The shot
ended up hitting the ground, causing it to explode and sending both the Piano
Famiglia members and the guests flying.
Haru really didn’t want to turn around and face
the horror behind her, but with Isabella still holding onto her and apparently
more curious about what was transpiring, Haru had no choice but to turn with
her and look at Xanxus walking out of the alcove. One of his guns was steaming
and based on the stormy look on his face, they’d just rudely awoken him from
his nap. From a ways away, Haru saw Levi’s prone body on the table... probably
after Xanxus smashed his head on there...
“Uh-oh, boss is up,” Belphegor with a strained
grin.
“I can’t watch,” Haru whimpered, covering her
eyes with her hands.
“Argh, no one said that the Varia was actually
going to show up!” one of the uninjured men from the Pisano Famigilia hissed to
each other and Haru resisted the urge to give a snarky reply that even the
Varia hadn’t known that they were going to show up. “This was supposed to be an
easy job!”
“I don’t care anymore. You rich filthy fucks,
give us all your valuables right now. I’m taking what I can while I still have
the chance,” the apparently now insane Pisano Famiglia member shouted, aiming
his gun at the nearest guests, which, coincidentally, ended up being Haru and
Isabella. He yelled out in pain when a more concentrated shot of flame hit him
right through the shoulder. Eyes immediately whipped towards the terrifying
Varia leader who had his other, now steaming, gun raised.
“Didn’t I tell you pieces of shit to shut the
fuck up?”
Unfortunately, Xanxus’ words were nearly drowned
out by the howls of pain by the fallen Pisano Famiglia member who was rolling
around on the ground, clutching his shoulder. Haru saw the all too familiar
twitch on Xanxus’ forehead and quickly wiggled out of Isabelle’s hold, rushing
towards him in order to grab the top of his guns and forcing them down so that
they aimed at the floor.
“Xanxus,” she hissed.
He eyed her briefly when, much to her immense
surprise, he actually relented. Xanxus holstered his guns and without warning,
grabbed her and roughly threw her over his shoulder. Haru yelped in surprise,
instinctively clutching onto the back of his cloak in order to not fall off.
Thank god he was holding onto her thighs, smoothing down her dress so that she
wasn’t flashing everyone. It would have been another beautiful thing to add to
her long and growing list of horrible events, which was now primarily composed
of all the trauma she’d witness and experienced tonight.
He then whirled around, turning to leave, but not
before imparting a message to his men. “Get rid of the trash, scums.”
Haru paled as Belphegor started to laugh his
maniacal laugh while Lussuria joined in from whatever corner he was currently
standing in. Even Mammon looked excited, probably ready to vent out all the
pent up frustration from having to deal with both Haru’s threats and
Belphegor’s churlish attitude. Levi, the ever loyal soldier, immediately stood
up with his eyes practically glowing.
“Yes boss!”
Haru slumped on top of Xanxus’ shoulder.
She gave up.
At least this night was finally over...
-
...or so she thought.
Haru squeaked when she was practically thrown
inside of the car. She stared at Xanxus with widened eyes of terror and knew
there was no point in yelling at the driver to speed off before Xanxus got in
the car. The divider between the backseat and the driver was up and she knew
the back was now basically soundproof. Haru quickly crawled backwards until she
was pressing on the other side of the car seat. She didn’t dare open the other
door and make a run for it. It’ll just make the situation worse.
Xanxus slowly got into the seat and faced
forward, crossing his arms and legs as he closed the car door. The car engine
rumbled and Haru felt it start to move, taking them away from the fiasco. God,
she could practically feel the rumble of the explosions at the building they
were leaving.
She stared at Xanxus warily, especially since he
wasn’t saying a peep. He better not be blaming her for what happened tonight.
“T-Thank you for coming,” she began, trying to at
least be polite about it all. And really, she was grateful if his heart really
was in the right place when coming here... though she highly doubted it was due
to sentimental reasons why he came in the first place. Lussuria said Xanxus
took care of what was his and everyone knew what he actually meant by as ‘his’
and it sure wasn’t the mushy kind.
Haru flinched when Xanxus’ scowl deepened.
“I’m sorry things ended the way it did though! I
know you were probably having a lovely nap in there,” she added quickly, trying
to rack her brains for whatever answer it was that Xanxus was looking for.
He opened his eyes and tilted his head towards
her. “Do that again.”
“...excuse me?”
“That time with my tie,” he continued. “Do that
again.”
Haru gawked at him as she repeated herself.
“E-Excuse me?”
Xanxus glowered at her and she knew he wasn’t
going to explain any further and that she better do as she was told before he
lost his temper and started shooting the car. She quickly tried to rummage
through her memories. So many stupid things happened earlier that it was
difficult to recall everything that happened.
Tie? What had she done with his tie?
Haru
hesitated only briefly before she slowly turned around. Her hand trailed up his
chest and she could feel his firm muscles briefly jump in surprise at the
sudden touch. Her fingers then wrapped themselves around Xanxus’ loosened tie.
The older man’s eyes flung open when she suddenly jerked at it hard, forcing
his face to suddenly pull forward towards her, as though he was some sort of
leashed animal until her control. At first, he stared at her incredulously
until he noticed the icy cool fire glowing from her normally soft brown eyes.
She
whispered quietly only for his ears to hear, her breath brushing so closely
against his lips while she stared fearlessly into his eyes. “Let. Go.”
Her eyes widened and she swallowed her ‘eep’ at
the memory. He wasn’t angry about that, was he? No wait, he said to do it
again. That didn’t make any sense! He hated when people ordered him around.
Beside, she’d only done that because she was desperate and couldn’t think of
another way to make him let go of her!
She peeked at him and saw that he wasn’t looking
at her anymore, his eyes closed once more as he remained slumped on his seat.
...this insufferable man. The things she did for
him.
Haru slowly reached out and wrapped her fingers
around his tie, readying her nerves before roughly jerking him towards her,
nearly lying down on the car seat so that he was forced to hover over her. Her
face was bright red from mortification, but she still forced herself to speak
coolly and sharply like before. “I told you not to do anything stupid, didn’t
I?”
Xanxus smirked.
:::The
next day::
“Voi!” Squalo roared as he entered into the lobby
of the hotel located near the Varia’s castle. He found the rest of the members
lounging on the couch. Well, more like Levi crying in a corner while Lussuria
was reading the newspaper while giggling in amusement. Belphegor looked
nauseated while Mammon was missing, probably checking on the accounts Haru had
threatened him with. “What the hell was with that message to come here instead
of headquarters?”
“Ohohoho, you should be grateful we warned you at
all, Squalo-chan,” Lussuria laughed.
“The fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“...they broke the bed and I think they’re aiming
to break the wall now,” Belphegor managed to grunt out, looking ready to hurl.
His ears were still bleeding from what he and the other Varia members had
walked into. Lots and lots of loud screaming and moaning, especially from that
stupid harpy screeching their boss’s name. Now that was a sound he definitely
didn’t need to hear in this lifetime or the next.
Squalo himself turned green, no longer needing
additional info as to what the hell was going on back at the castle. “What the
fuck brought that on?”
“Oh you know the boss, one smothering look and
then those two-Bel-chan, I told you not to aim for my face!” Lussuria chided,
avoiding the knife that’d been about to hit him square on the forehead.
“Then shut the fuck up with the gory details!”
“Anywho, you should read the news, Squalo-chan.
It might help fill you in with some of the missing details.” Lussuria twittered
happily while handing over the newspaper that was conspicuously opened to a
rather large article written by an Isabella Cabello.
Squalo warily took the paper and nearly choked on
his own spit at the headline. “What the fuck? The Queen of the Varia? Heroes of
the charity event of the season?”
“Ohohohoho!”
“We’ve shamed the boss!” Levi cried out, tears
now pouring even harder. Oh the horrible details he’d read about how the mighty
Varia was under the thumb of a petite Japanese lady who could silence them with
just a single look! There were even pictures taken by that cameras installed in
that sneaky vixen’s glasses! The world now had photographic evidence of him
having a glass thrown to his head and even a picture of the boss carrying that
stupid woman over his shoulder!
Squalo then proceeded to upturn all the furniture
around them. “What the fuck happened while I was gone, you pieces of shit?!”
:::Meanwhile back at Varia’s castle:::
“Xanxus!” Haru hoarsely cried out, her back
arching as she took him in as deep as possible, feeling herself falling over
the edge once more. Her entire body felt sore and she didn’t think she could
unlock her ankles from around his waist anymore, but she couldn’t protest the
explosions of pleasure that’d rack her body with each round. She didn’t
understand where this was all coming from! Sure, this guy had the stamina and
endurance of a friggin monster, but even he eventually settled down for the
night... not go at it literally all night long!
He growled into the column of her neck, holding
onto her hips harshly as he buried himself inside of her, releasing his seeds
into her womb with almost a burning vengeance while groaning at how tightly her
nether lips would clutch onto him. Gods, the memory of her trying to order him
around during and after that stupid charity event. She was so tiny and
breakable, but seeing her trying to dominate him, aggressively pulling him
around by his tie, when there was no chance of her succeeding without his
saying so, was definitely a definition of sexy. It made him want to fuck her
senseless until she was crying helplessly for more underneath him.
Her eyes widened and her fingers dug into his
shoulders, adding to the numerous deep scratch marks she’d already inflicted on
his scarred skin. She could feel him literally swelling up inside of her. “A-Again?"
Xanxus
gave her a merciless smirk. “Again.”
