Well, I just posted the last chap of A Royal Winter and don't exactly have an idea yet, so I'll just move along and see what my brain makes me do~
And I'm going to start trying to type Belphegor instead of Belphagor, but I don't plan to edit every chap of my previous fanfics, okay?
"Leo-kun, you got a text from someone~"
"Ah, I got it."
Mukuro, disguised as Byakuran's subordinate, ran over to the table where he'd left his phone and flipped it open. He was suprised to see that Hibari had somehow gotten his- Leonardo's- number.
'Fran's alive.'
Mukuro smiled and shut his phone again.
"Who was it from, Leo-kun?" asked Byakuran, stretched out on the couch.
"A friend of mine," Mukuro replied, "from before I joined under your lead."
Byakuran stood and walked over to him. "I have a question."
"Huh?"
"Which do you think goes better with ice cream: big marshmallows or small marshmallows?"
"Uhh..."
A year later... (One year after TYL- This is where it's really beginning.)
"Aw~, I liked you better when you looked like a person," Fran muttered as the reborn Mammon floated behind him.
"Hey, I never said I wanted to get back here. I was rather having fun where I was," the Arcobaleno growled, looking frustrated to hear his voice all childish once again.
"Which reminds the prince," interrupted Bel, "Where did Monta go? Heaven or Hell?"
Mammon shrugged. "Beats me. All I know was that there was a lot of gold there."
"You never bothered to try and find anyone and ask?" Fran asked.
"Nope," Mammon said, before landing on top of Fran's hat. "This makes for a convenient resting point."
"Get off," Fran said instantly, "You don't need to hitchhike."
"Yeah I do," Mammon argued, "You owe me."
"Don't even start with that," the younger illusionist growled, "You acted purely on your own will."
"Bel~, Fran's being mean!" Mammon protested.
"Shishishi, come on, ladies, no need to fight over the prince," Bel giggled, simply loving that Mammon was back- which meant twice the attention he usually got.
"Senpai, I'm a guy, and Mammon's a guy. That means the only 'lady' there could be here is you," Fran muttered. Bel rolled his eyes and took a knife out on the kouhai, who immediately shielded himself with Mammon. Bel stopped when Mammon became involved, and reluctantly put away his knife.
"Not cool, Froggy," he pouted.
"You have no room to talk, mister 'seme every day and every night'," Fran pointed out, placing Mammon on Bel's shoulder, where he was actually appreciated.
"Shishishi, but of course, the prince is seme- it's not like Froggy could."
"I so can!"
"Guys, please don't argue about this in front of me," protested Mammon, folding his arms.
"Sorry, Monta," apologized Bel.
The three walked into the kitchen and simultaneously took their seats; Mammon, of course, getting rather agitated when he saw multiple phonebooks on his chair. "Hey! I can reach the table!" he protested to Squalo.
"Voi, I didn't set those up."
"Hai hai~ Breakfast is ready everyone~!" called the extravagent Sun Guardian of the Varia as he stepped into the room. He hopped up to Mammon. "Is that enough phonebooks, Mammon-chan?"
Mammon made a hissing noise under his breath before shouting out, "DAMNED ARCOBALENO!"
Bel and Fran both chuckled slightly at their companion's frustration. "Don't worry," giggled Bel, "I'm sure you'll cure your curse someday."
Fran grinned as the frustrated Mist Arcobaleno lifted himself with tentacles, pushed the phonebooks onto the floor and took his chair. Lussuria sighed and patted Mammon's hat in a 'aww' sort of manner before scurrying back into the kitchen. "So, is Mammon our Mist, or is Fran still our Mist?" asked Squalo to Xanxus.
"I don't care who the freaking Mist trash is," growled Xanxus, glaring at his Rain, "Let the damned children figure it out."
Fran, Bel and Mammon all looked at Xanxus. "Well, bossu is in a bad mood today, did Squalo force him into an uke role?" asked Bel. Fran and Mammon looked incredulous at the prince's utter stupidity, both gasping when a wine glass hit its mark directly against the Storm's head. Bel grunted with pain and rubbed his forehead, a frog instantly worrying over him.
"You ought to shut your freaking mouth, prince trash," hissed Xanxus. Squalo shuffled nervously in his seat and bit his lip. Bel immediately sat up straight again.
"Heeeh? So what happened if not that?"
Xanxus began to draw out a gun on the Storm, but Squalo sat up and grabbed his arm. "Xanxus," he said. The boss looked up at him, threat in his blood red gaze, but the Rain soon began to sooth the wrath of the Sky with eyes that seemed to shoot tranquility darts at him. He sighed with defeat and put the gun away.
"You, me, bed, tonight," he snapped at Squalo. Squalo nodded.
"Alright, boss."
"Aha! You see, the prince settles conflict so awesomely!" Bel announced, suddenly becoming the loudest one at the table.
Fran and Mammon simultaneously groaned and facepalmed, though Mammon ended up cursing his little hand.
Meanwhile, while everyone were discussing random events and killings, Lussuria was busy in the kitchen. 'Mm... oh dear, I do believe I left the new packages of cinnamon in the basement storage...'
Lussuria backed off from the pan that he was cooking in and bit his lip. 'Alright, if I hurry, everything should be fine,' he told himself, before sneaking out of the kitchen for the basement.
A few minutes later...
Out of the corner of his eye, he barely saw the flicker of a flame. His head snapped to see of it was true, and his eyes widened when he saw a huge fire in the kitchen.
"B-boss!" yelped Mammon, "Everyone! Fire!"
All the Varia stood to attention, following the point of one of Mammon's tentacles. They saw the fire, and all turned instantly to Squalo. "Squalo! Rain! Rain flames!" everyone stuttered/screeched at once. Squalo got out of his daze instantly and opened his shark box weapon.
Everybody watched with horror as the Rain class flames from Squalo's shark, along with Squalo's own Rain flames directly from his ring, failed to put out the kitchen fire. "Head outside!" shouted Xanxus gruffly, before he grabbed his lover's arm. "Give it a break, scum, it won't work." Squalo hastily returned the shark to its box before following Xanxus out the door. They were met by Fran and Bel hurriedly explaining the situation to a Lussuria, and Levi, naturally, was waiting for Xanxus. Lussuria understood the urgency of the matter, for once in his life, before it was too late, and everyone managed to hurry out of the Varia headquarters.
"No one's still in there, right?" Xanxus managed, standing and looking about his small group of Guardians.
"A few trainees might get killed off, but all the Guardians- plus Monta- are out," Bel informed the boss. Fran shivered.
'If I had joined the Varia recently, that stupid prince would just let me die.'
"Voi! How did this all happen?" roared a certain angry shark, flailing his sword at the sky as if to slash all the sunshine away. The Varia turned on Lussuria.
"Hey, YOU'RE the only one in the kitchen!"
"Yeah, why weren't you in there!"
"What's wrong with you?"
CRASH.
Upon hearing a window shatter from the pressure and heat, every member of the Varia were momentarily hushed. During the silence, Lussuria spoke up.
"I- I forgot the cinnamon."
After another pause, everyone shouted out, "WHAT THE HELL DID WE NEED CINNAMON FOR?"
-End Chapter
What do you need cinnamon for? For a delicious plot, of course! Muahaha!
And there's the basis for 'A Royal Spring'. I'm sorry, Lussuria, I don't mean to make you look stupid. *pretends to pat head but makes sure that doesn't actually touch*
This is up now and not tomorrow because my kouhai insisted that I don't read it to her and just post it. Everyone say thanks to my kouhai!
Please Review, It makes me work faster, I'm not kidding!
Btw, this is the start of spring break for me, so I'll hopefully be able to upload a LOT.
