Largofan: Yeah, I'm starting another series of shorts. See, I keep getting ideas for stories, but then they fizzle out before they are completed. Some I don't want to scrap, so I started putting them in a file labled shorts, and since I like them, I thought I should publish.
L: And since she gets inspired a lot by fanfictions.
Dino: And this is one of her fizzled out ideas.
Kamina: Don't own, don't sue, no money! Because Largofan isn't Manly!
- Start -
Secretly, Squalo had been afraid of her since the day he found out that she was Tyr's daughter. Vengence was a frightening thing, and the girl had made her first kill at the tender age of 3, when he had barely been able to speak properly, and by the time she was 6, when he was just starting to learn swordplay, she had already developed her own fighting style and weapons. The 4 year age difference meant jack shit because of how they where raised. She was raised by Tyr and the Varia and if it wasn't for her age, would have been an Arcobaleno, and he was raised as the 3rd son of a lesser mafia family.
The first time Squalo had honestly thought she'd kill him was when they first met in person, because she knocked him out with her needles and a sleeping potion on them and he hadn't felt the prick of the needle.
The second time was when he and the rest returned from the cradle affair, he knew she had suggested that the Ninth just kill them, not because the had attempted a coup, but because they had failed. Varia didn't fail and live to tell about it. She didn't kill them though, on direct orders from the Ninth, but she had knocked them all out and had the inborn squadron beat them all to prove a point.
The third was when the second coup failed, and she came waltzing in behind the Inborn Squadron, who she had ordered to stand down. That time, it was only the Vongola brat asking her not to that kept them all alive. The third time also sparked something in him and it was jealousy when he watched her help the Vongola brat up and greet him with a kiss to the cheek and a small smile.
Squalo curses the jealousy, and it takes him forever to figure out why he is jealous. He was jealous because he had known her for years and had never been kissed or smiled at by her, and she was a beautiful girl, especially with her hair, which looked like it was spun out of gold, he had felt sick when he had returned from being imprisoned to see it had all been cut off. He cursed Byakuran and wished the bastard was still alive so he could kill him, himself.
Squalo sighs as he sits in a window seat and watches the newbies train and wonders why he can't stop thinking of the girl, he had acknowledged his jealousy, but he wouldn't do more, he knew his place in the pecking order.
"Squalo, what are you doing?" The soft voice he knew to well asks.
"Voi, what the hell does it look like I'm fucking doing?" He asks, not looking at her and wondering why she was in his quarters anyway. He nearly dies of shock when she sits on him and cuddles against him.
"I swear, if you yell with my head this close to your mouth, I'll paralyze your vocal cords." She says before he can say anything.
"Voi, what the hell is this all of a sudden?" He asks.
"I... I felt fear... When I went to kill Byakuran, he looked into my heart and I felt fear." She says and Squalo realizes how big of a thing that is. She had been raised so that she had nothing to fear, she had been trained how to deal with every situation, even how to defend her self if she was nude without a single weapon and surrounded by enemies that wanted to do bad things to her.
"You killed him, you got nothing to fear now." He says, wrapping his arms around her gingerly and is surprised at just how small she was because she was always wore baggy clothing.
The 2 go quiet, and Squalo doesn't bring it up, he was being allowed to hold her, he wasn't going to ruin it. Squalo's surprised when he looks down and she's asleep. It was easy to tell when she was asleep, because she looked peaceful instead of like she was concentrating on something, and he's pleased that she doesn't get a snot bubble like some people. He looks around, praying that he was actually alone before kissing her softly on the corner of her mouth, since he didn't dare steal what could be her first kiss, since he wasn't sure what the woman would do to him if he did, but it's enough for him... at least for the moment.

Largofan: Just so you know, the OC's name is Jezabel, and she uses wires like Belphegor, but instead of knives uses glass needles that have poison on them and are pretty much invisible.
Kaku: Tell them why she's nice to Tsuna
Largofan: Oh yeah, after the Cradle affair, the Ninth thought she needed a vacation and sent her to Japan with Iemitsu so he could keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't start killing people. She grew found of Tsuna and considers him like a little brother
