The Varia's New Cloud Guardian

"You needed me ninth?"asked the CEDEF member. "Ah, Basil-kun could you call Melanie-chan to go to my office? It's important.""Of course ninth."The rain flame user replied. He closed the door and went to the hallways where the Mafioso stayed. The Vongola mansion was huge. Not in huge as a normal mansion but as a castle. Even he sometimes don't know where to go. Only the persons who had lived in the mansion for a long time could memorize the paths. Even though he had been in the Vongola for a long time, he rarely stays in the mansion because he usually stays at the CEDEF mansion far from here.

He had finally arrived at the door."Mel-chan, the ninth wants to speak with you."He said while knocking the doors. Suddenly the door flung open. "Do I have to go now Basil?"Replied a sleepy brown haired girl with a brownish green eye colour. "Yes, the ninth requests thou to be in his office."... Okay, let's go Basil."She said while getting out of her room. They walked trough out the mansion to the ninths office.

"Hm, I wonder why the ninth asked me to come to his office just right after I went to his office to report that I finished the latest mission."She thought."Basil, how's it been at CEDEF?" she asked with a cheerful voice. "It's fine, I have many friends there. How about you?"It may not look like it but Melanie and Basil have been friends since childhood. They rarely see each because the ninth asked Basil to join CEDEF and Melanie said it was okay."The Vongola's fine, but it's still a little hard for me to make new friends."She replied. "So, your still nervous around meeting new people?" She nodded. It might not look like it but this lively girl can literally freeze when meeting with new people. She won't even speak to them. It was usually Basil who helped her make new friends when they hung out with his friends. Without them realizing they reached the ninths office.

"Ninth, I have brought thou Melanie-san."Basil reported. "Okay you may leave now Basil-kun."Basil left to let them discuss their matters and by the ninth's tone it must be a serious problem. Silence filled the room."So ninth what do you need me for?"She broke the silence wanting to get more rest. "Well...I need you to become the Varia's new cloud guardian.""Am I being promoted?" Melanie asked with a questionable look."Yes but it's because the Varia needs a cloud guardian. You are one of the Mafioso that can kill without hesitation when important and you'll live with Valerie-chan. Beside's you've gone a few missions with all of them including my adopted son, Xanxus ,so you aren't nervous right."The ninth paled. She was the only one fit for the job. All the others were either not strong enough or kind hearted. He already sent a few people but by the first day they all went to hospitals for crazy people. The ninth didn't even think about sending Melanie-chan if not Valerie-chan had suggested it.

"Okay I'll go as long as the ninth wishes. When will I leave? "The ninth sighed in relief he had thought that Melanie would refuse the job even though her friend was there. " You'll leave right away. Pack your clothes and personal belongings. The rest of your things will be delivered tomorrow." "I'll go to my room and pack my things now."She left the room and walked through the hallway. At the front of her door she saw a person standing near there"So your going to the Varia..." Basil said in a quiet voice." Don't be sad, we can still text and meet up." She said as she hugged Basil and went to her room."See you later." Basil said."Right back at cha."

"It has been a long time since I saw Val-chan. The last time was last year at a restaurant celebrating her birthday."She thought. Valerie is Melanie's childhood friend, like Basil but she had been friends with her longer. They used to hang out together often. Valerie was recruited to the Varia 8 years ago because of her talents of having 4 types of flames. She has the Sky, Mist, Storm and Sun. She didn't want to go but the ninth insisted. 4 Years after that Basil was asked to join CEDEF, he refused but the ninth said that CEDEF needs more people with Rain class flames. Beside's the Varia wasn't too bad.

The ninth once send her and Val to the Varia for the weekend 9 years ago because they needed to train. Bel sometime's trained with her, Mammon usually lets me play with Phantasma, Squalo usually played hide and seek with Bel, her and Val more or less(courtesy of Bel taking his sword), Lussuria usually plays dress up with them "even though Val didn't like to dress up", She and Val pretty much doesn't care about Levi and finally Xanxus, he usually talked with them when the others were out on missions cause the captain's can't see their boss going soft. She had a crush on him but he was bonded more to Val then her. The age gap was too far. She never showed it but Val eventually found out and said that they only have a brotherly relationship.

Xanxus was frozen by the ninth a few weeks after Val had joined the Varia, she had told her that the others purposely gave her many missions so that she wouldn't fight at the raid because they said she was inexperienced. A few months ago Val texted her that Xanxus thawed out of the ice and fought for the other half of the rings. The fight was in Japan and she said that the Varia and Xanxus tricked her by saying that he and the others were going to destroy a mafia family and needed her to guard the castle 'because the enemy might attack here when we were away' they told her. She had been in her room ever since, cause she was sulking. "Mel-chan, the limo's arrived, you better get going." One of her subordinates told her below her wondow. "I'm going, bye Raios." She said to the man as she jumped out of the windows and went to the limo.
