Hello! So as the summary clearly states, I'm currently rewriting my old chapters to remove plot holes and fixing little things. I'll try not to change much but some things have got to go. Like the cliff. Where did it even come from? I was way too obsessed with cliffs back then. Anyway, please enjoy this new chapter. I don't own characters or KHR. I just really adore underdogs and minor characters like Skull. SuperDuperHighSchoolTrash (fugutaiten-san) signing out!

"Reborn-senpai?"

Turning to face Skull, Reborn was holding an espresso. To be more precise, a cup of espresso that Skull had to go and buy from an expensive well-known coffee shop at 5 in the morning.

"It's cold. Get me another one, Lackey."

"What? Senpai, it should still be hot," Skull exclaimed, "Skull-sama doesn't need to go and buy another one." After all, Skull had no intention of waiting another 2 hours on line to buy expensive over-priced coffee for Reborn with money from his own pocket. Honestly, Reborn should pay for his own damn coffee.

Reborn cruelly poured the hot coffee over Skull, before saying "It's not hot enough. Get me another one." He then turned his back and left Skull standing there in a puddle of coffee.

Luce was having a great day. She had managed to keep this morning's damages to the mansion to a minimum while finishing the day's paperwork early. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Skull was dripping wet with coffee all over him. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Suddenly she paused and looked at Skull. The poor kid was soaked to the bone with coffee. Now how could that have happen? Luce walked over to the kid and smiled.

"Skull, what happened to you?"

Skull flinched in shock. He hadn't expected anyone to ask him about the coffee. After all, wasn't he the most useless and therefore the one most often forgotten?

"Nothing happened, Luce-nee san. The great and powerful Skull just accidentally spilled coffee."

Luce wanted to laugh at Skull's horrible lie, but she knew this wasn't a good time to do so. "That's odd," Luce mused gently, "I always thought you hated drinking coffee." She knew better to suddenly call Skull out on his lie. The boy would only run away if she did so. "Besides, how would you spill coffee on top of you own head?"

Skull looked at her and knew that he had to tell the truth. "Reborn poured his coffee over me, because it wasn't hot enough," he admitted, "He wanted me to buy him another cup."

Luce silently gasped. She knew Reborn didn't like Skull for being the youngest and the weakest, but she had never imagined that he would treat him this horribly.

In a dangerous voice rarely ever heard, she said "I'm sure Reborn won't ever do this again to you. Why don't you go find Fon? I'm sure he'll help you get the coffee stains out of your clothing."

Skull smiled at Luce. "Thank you nee-san." He then went to find Fon for help.

"I won't let Reborn bully you any more."
