Chapter One: Separate Ways
Maman allowed her legs to swing freely off the side of the bridge. Beside her a pair of marbles spun furiously in mid-air.
It wasn't as if she couldn't handle herself in a battle -she was Varia after all- but she still didn't like what she'd just read.
Someone had challenged her abilities -no doubt hoping to lure her out of headquarters- and had insisted the challenge be kept secret –no doubt a way to separate her from her comrades- it unnerved her. At least, something had her on edge.
Bastiel brushed against her arm, mewing to get her attention, she scratched his ears absentmindedly, trying to decide on a course of action.
Finally she rose, having made her decision.
She would go.
She would investigate.
If need be she would fight,
And she would win.
"VOOOI! LET'S GO YOU FUCKING BRAT!"
Maman sighed, shifting slightly as Bastiel leapt onto her shoulder.
"Damn loud-mouthed shark," she muttered, following Squallo's voice until she came to a clearing where Bel, Squallo, Levi and Luss were standing in a semi-circle. Fran was squatted off to the side, pulling throwing knives out of his froggy head.
"Sempai can you stop throwing knives at me it kinda hurts."
"Not until you die stupid frog."
"VOOOIII! PAY ATTENTION YOU SHITS!"
Maman yawned, she could sense the enemy approaching on the west side of Varia property.
"We can beat them without any trouble."
Maman rolled her eyes at Levi, knowing full well what was coming next.
"We should send Levi to finish off the enemy, since he's so confident!" Lussuria was entirely to happy about the whole ordeal.
"FRAN AND BRAT REPORT TO THE VONGOLA HEADQUARTERS AND DEAL WITH THE ENEMIES THERE, LEVI AND LUSS PROTECT THE BASE, BEL WILL COME WITH ME."
Maman frowned at the strategy captain, "Why can't I go with Bel."
"I agree, I don't like Maman she's creepy like Bel sempai," Fran whined.
Maman punched this back of his hood.
"Ushishi~ The prince wants to go with his kitten."
"VOOOOIII! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT DUMB SHITS!"
Maman sighed once more, if this was going to be her last night with the Varia, she may as well get to be violent.
