A:N: Hi! This is my first fanfic, so please be nice. The first chapter of my story...explains everything that will go on later chapters, and the chapters will get shorter (sorry) until Chapter 5 (yay!), then they'll start to get bigger, the biggest being Chapter 7. I already have the story written out, I just have to type the rest. I'll update as much as I can! Please R&R! (Read and Review, for the unknown about the abbreviation...) Without further ado, let the first chapter begin!

A Small Strand of Hair Can Cause the Biggest Havoc

Chapter One

One night, at the Varia's castle, there was one room, one person, one part of that person, rather a strand of his hair that started it all. You might know who I'm talking about already, and if you guessed Squalo, you're right. It was Squalo's hair that started "The Ghost of Varia Castle", and I'll tell you how it started, all on that night.

So it's the same time, same place, but in Squalo's room, now. The shark is snoring, fast asleep, as so with the rest of the Varia, all in their rooms.

And his hair came to life. Not the full head of hair, but one single strand, weird as it may sound. First, it's got to get out of the handcuff that is Squalo's head. The hair pulls itself out slowly, trying not to wake the sleeping beast, who might turn into a roaring monster when awake, and do the same to the rest of the castle, too, even any mice, rats or bugs that live in the sewer pipes. Squalo's hair can imagine it now...

"VVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOIIIIIII!!!!!!! Who poked my hair out?" And a million lights coming on in the castle. This strand wanted to avoid people at all costs, or it might be caught alive and tested on!

After a little tugging, the hair finally got out of Squalo's head.

Squalo has bad sleeping habits, so he turned around, still unconscious, and made his own hair pushed by the wind, and float to the floor. When it landed, the strand of hair got a good look of Squalo's room, seeable through the moonlight. It was painted all blue, making Squalo's hair feel like it's in an ocean. There are white waves in the blue, and grey sharks looking like they all want to kill each other. Reflects Squalo perfectly. The floor and ceiling were the same, but without the sharks. There was also a blue desk where there was a case. The hair went to the desk, and then climbed up the desk, just to see what was in that long, thin, black case. When the hair opened it up, it was a sword. The sword was beautiful, shining, and…with an artificial hand on it?

What, you thought Squalo slept with his sword? If he did that, his sleeping habits of moving around would kill himself in his sleep!

So when the hair, which I shall nickname "Squalo Jr.", saw this weapon, it decided to do something naughty. Squalo Jr. picked up the sword, which is amazing strength for a strand of hair, and slithered to Squalo's night table. It put the sword (sharp, blade side facing up) right at Squalo's alarm clock.

Squalo Jr. knew that Squalo had a mission with the rest of the Varia (including Xanxus, for once!) and so they all have to wake up early for a meeting, because they're all busy with less-important other missions the whole day. So Squalo's sure to use his alarm clock!

Once the deed is done, Squalo's strand of hair was about to leave, but just before it does that, there was a set of movies stacked on top of each other on a little table (shaped like a fish, mind you) and Squalo Jr. was curious to see what it was. Once Squalo Jr. got there -oh boy- it saw four movies, all akin of each other- Jaws, Jaws II, Jaws III, and Jaws: The Revenge. Squalo must love his shark style! You can tell by his room! But that comes as no surprise, does it?

Then, Squalo Jr. set out on a mission. To a) find something in their room (a strand of hair can't carry objects for long periods of time, anyways!) and use it to make the member of the Varia who's sleeping there have a horrible morning, and b) find an object that seems like it's the most resembling to that same Varia member, based on their rooms. Squalo Jr. assumed that each person had rooms that reflected who they are. Who wouldn't?

Squalo Jr. had its plan set out for the night. After all, hair is 90% likely to have insomnia, and Squalo Jr.'s just that 90%. So Squalo's hair leaves the room, through the blue doors, and sees the castle...once again.

THE CASTLE IS HUGE, EVEN COMPARED TO THE HALLWAY! There were stairs by the doors to Squalo's room, and one long hallway with six other doors, the other rooms. But Squalo Jr. saw open space with a railing when it got out, shining with moonlight galore, and when it looked down (if a strand of hair CAN look, that is...) Squalo Jr. saw a bunch of floors going down. Squalo's hair never gets to see anything when attached to that shark's head, but still can hear, but it's been doing midnight trips before...but Squalo Jr. had to focus on the mission!

So the strand of hair proceeded to the bedroom next to Squalo's chamber- Bel's room.

A:N: It's me again. I hoped this chapter is good enough for you to keep reading...it'll get better as the chapters go. And also, reviews I like will get posted in the next chapter! Not to scare the reviewers, but be sure to watch what you say! I'm still new to this stuff...and any flames, I'll take into serious study to avoid in future chapters. Thanks for reading!
