Her short black hair danced gently in the wind as she surveyed her surrounding area. Dead bodies lay around, bloodied or sliced. It seemed that there were two armies fighting each other. But in reality, there was only a lone opponent. Murasaki Yuyake.
Shouldering her purple flaming scythe, she sighed. "Hmm...Levi said this mission was going to be hard," she said, thoughts trailing off. Checking her watch, she sighed again. The flames in her scythe extinguished and all that was left behind was a black metal pole. The pole collapsed and stuffing it into her pocket, Yuyake jumped off the tree branch she stood on.
Picking her way through the bodies, Yuyake found what she was looking for. There was a man who was breathing heavily but was obviously dying. Bending down, Yuyake pulled a glowing purple ring off his twisted finger. The man groaned and pulled at the bright green grass that was stained red. Straining, he tried to grab Yuyake's leg. She simply drew back, not even turning back to look at him.
Back at the Varia base, Yuyake sat in the large living room, inspecting her newly acquired ring. It was an A-Rank ring and its purple gem sparkled greedily, waiting for flames to consume. Already she had three and this was her fourth. One more ring and she could finish her experiment. The experiment that could change the simple rings of flames.
Yuyake slid the ring into her pocket as Squalo stomped into the ring. She readied herself for the noise.
"VOOII! Little girl! What the hell did you do?" Apparently, he had heard what she just did.
Calmly, she glanced up at Squalo. "What did I do? I killed the "boss" as was ordered. Did I do something wrong?"
"Hell yeah! You killed every single damm one of his family! We could've use them for info-!"
Putting a single finger up, Yuyake stopped him. "If it's information you want, just ask me," she smiled, pointing to herself. "I have searched their data base and learned everything of them. Not to mention, I got info from the 'right-hand man'," she said, snickering. Squalo's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but to be astonished at Yuyake's skill to learn but still, he was her superior and she had to be put into place.
As he opened his mouth, Fran poked his head in. Piping up in a monotone voice, he began, "Sempai-"
Squalo interrupted him, screaming, "Shut up trash! Don't you see I'm trying to put Yuyake back in line?"
"...Yuyake? She's not even here,"
"...Crap."
Sitting in a dimly lit room, Yuyake fingered her ring. She was lost in her thoughts as she twisted it, willing it to glow as she pumped flames into it. Grabbing a pen from her desk, Yuyake turned a lamp on and began to write her report.
Yuyake was writing furiously as a loud knock sounded on her thick oak door. Putting her pen down, Yuyake turned the lamp light off and took off her Varia uniform and switching it with a crisp white collared jacket. Straightening the sleeves, she approached the door.
Opening the door a crack, Yuyake cocked her head slightly, just barely managing to dodge a slicing blade. She frowned and threw her door open.
There stood Bel with a grin dancing on his lips. Giving him a piercing glare that made him shiver, Yuyake shut the door behind her.
Her voice never rose above a calm tone but as they walked down the well-furnished halls, Yuyake's voice made Bel nervous. She disapproved of any actions that could damage anything in her room and often retaliated by tenfold.
"So Bel. Why was there a knife flying into my room?" Yuyake asked, her calm black eyes facing forward.
"Ushishishi. Because the prince was bored?" Bel laughed nervously.
Yuyake paused, her sudden stop making Bel freeze. Without warning, she pulled out her black pole and plunged it into the wall next to Bel's head. It made a sharp cracking noise as the wall began to crumble under the sudden pressure.
"Well then, the next time the princeis bored, go to Fran or Squalo," she snarled. "Don't you dare touch or damage a single thing in my room." Bel nodded understandingly and stepped away from the pole that nearly crushed his head.
Turning away, Yuyake began to walk down the halls as Bel ran to catch up with her. Clearing his throat, Bel said, "Ushishishi~ Today the prince can't actually play. You wanna know why?"Yuyake ignored him and continued to walk. "Because today we have to go to the Vongola brat's meeting," Bel spat out.
Yuyake froze, her eyes sparkling with interest. She had never seen the Vongola's guardians before, even as their top researcher, so she didn't understand why the Varia had such a deep hate for them. Her lips stretched into a smile and she looked at Bel.
"Well then. What are we waiting for?" she grinned.
