Chapter 2 the new doctor
In a regular room in a hospital sat a young girl in a wheel chair. She had short shoulder length brown hair with a red ribbon tied on one side in a form of an x. she had on a white sweater with brown pants. This was Hayate Yagami. She was currently waiting for the doctor to see if there had been any changes to her condition.
With the young girl is a young blond women appearing to be in her early twenties she had a long skirt the stopped just between her ankle and knee. She had on a small unbuttoned green jacket with a black shirt underneath. This is Shamal one of the personal guards of Hayate. "Ms. Hayate do you believe they will find anything this time," Shamal said.
"Well so far they haven't found anything but let's not give up hope Shamal. I'm sure they will find something," Hayate said giving Shamal a small smile.
"Of course Ms. Hayate," Shamal said. That was one of the many things she admired about Hayate her always positive attitude.
Suddenly the door opened and the doctor walked in. he gave the two a small smile before he said, "Hello their Hayate how are you doing today?"
"Just fine doctor," Hayate answered. "Is there any news?"
"Unfortunately all of our test came back negative like before," he said. He saw their faces drop in sadness. "But there is a visiting doctor showing off some experimental equipment who had heard about your case and was very interested in it."
"He is," Hayate asked.
"Yes he took a look at your file and even had an idea what might be wrong with you but needed to run a few test to be sure," the doctor said.
"He thinks he knows what is wrong," Hayate said. She didn't notice Shamal twist and reach for her weapon anticipating a fight. She knew Hayate's condition was caused by the book of darkness and if this person knew about it then he might be connected to the TSAB or someone who might try to use Hayate for their own benefit.
"Yes he has a theory but needs to confirm it before he discusses it with you," The doctor said.
"Wow can I meet him," Hayate asked.
"Yes you may. In fact he is just outside waiting for me to introduce him," the doctor said before he walked to the door and opened it. "Hayate let me introduce you to Dr. Lussuria he is naturally from Italy but he is very good at Japanese.
"He from Italy that's amazing," Hayate said. She knows she is part Italian on her mother side and always wanted to see the country.
Spinning in from the door was a very interesting person wearing a doctor's coat. Under the coat he wore a simple white dress shirt and a black tie. The most interesting thing about him was the red trimmed sunglasses he wore and the green hair he had on one side of his head with the rest of his head cut very short.
"Hello their and this little cutie must be Hayate," Lussuria said. He walked over to her and gave her a once over before saying, "now aren't you just the cutest thing."
"Are you really a doctor," Hayate found herself saying as she tries to back away from the guy. He seemed the overly friendly type and she was getting a weird feeling from him.
Shamal was not doing much better than Hayate. She was resisting the urge to activate her device right her and attacking this doctor. He may have been trying to hide it but Shamal had seen enough people in her time to realize this man was a fighter. He walked with very little movement and seemed to have to make a conscious effort to make noise and only one type of person trained to be that silent an assassin. She could also tell through her senses that the man had an active linker core but it felt different from the others. It felt like it was on fire and trying to shine like the morning sun.
"Yes I am," Lussuria said.
"Excuse me lady Hayate but I'm not so sure about this doctor," Shamal said. She was trying to find a way to leave without having to deal with this supposed doctor.
"That's okay Shamal we should at least hear him out," Hayate said.
"Excuse me but did you say that her name was Shamal," He said with a hint of amusement.
"That's correct my name is Shamal what's so funny about that," Shamal asked noticing he was trying not to laugh.
"My apologies I just happen to know of another doctor known as Shamal who is a shameless flirt. So seeing a kind soft spoken Shamal was just amusing to see," He explained.
"Oh," Shamal said. She had no idea how to react to the fact that this person knew another person named Shamal and found her amusing on a comparing her to the other Shamal.
"Know if you are willing to come with me I need to run a few test to confirm my suspicion on what is causing your condition. Unfortunately some results will take a few days to come in so I can't confirm right away," Lussuria said.
"What do you think is wrong with me," Hayate asked.
"I suspect it might have something to do with something few people have and even fewer realize they have it," he answered cryptically.
That answer set off warning bells in Shamal's head thinking he is referring to magic. She made sure to follow and keep a close eye on him as he lead Hayate to a machine that looked similar to an MRI. "What is this for," Shamal asked.
"It's to examine her body and how everything is functioning within it. It is three times stronger than an MRI so it should find something that the MRI couldn't," He answered. In truth the machine was designed to check on the conditions of a person's flame and how the flames interacted with the body. As he turned on the machine what he saw made him release a burst of killing intent that he had to quickly suppress since it had scared the little girl and but her guard on high alert. She could try to play the part of family friend taking care of the girl but Lussuria had seen enough body guard details protecting his targets to know how they act. She always kept one eye on the girl at all times and the other looking for possible threats mainly him once they were introduced. He also noticed she had paged him as not a normal doctor the moment he entered the room and immediately went on the defensive. That was good because if the girl was going to have guards Xanxus would make sure they were at least quality.
They ran a few more test mostly for show since the first one got Lussuria what he needed built he needed to keep appearances. He noticed after his little outburst the guard was always in arm distance to her young charge and was ready to attack him the moment he did anything suspicious.
"Well that should be everything," Lussuria said. "I should have the answers back in a few days so by you appointment next week we should have some answers."
"Okay doctor," Hayate said as she left the room with Shamal following never taking an eye off of Lussuria.
Hayate residence
I don't know who he worked for but I don't believe it was the time space administration bureau. The weird thing is that when I did a scan I found no sign of a device on him despite the fact he had an active linker core," Shamal said.
"You said the core felt different," Spoke a pink hair. She wore a plain jacket with a purple stripe around the shoulder.
"Yes it did Signum," Shamal said. "It felt like it was on fire and was trying to shine as brightly as the sun. The only time I thought I sensed him use magic was after he took a blood sample and he placed his hand over the wound and I saw that the wound had instantly healed."
"Healing magic is very complex how he was able to do that without a device," spoke a purple dog. It had a white main and paws. It also had thick eyebrows and red eyes.
"I'm not sure how he did it but maybe it had something to do with the weird way his core felt," Shamal said.
"Maybe we should just take him out. I'm sure the four of us could take his core and dispose of him so he isn't a threat," Spoke a small red head.
"We probably could but he could just be a scout and we could be confirm their suspicions if he disappears," Spoke Signum. "For now we wait till he shows us who he is working for." The others agreed to this and they started to set up a rotating guard and help off on the hunt for linker cores till they dealt with this newest threat.
Varia hotel
"It's a lot worse than we expected," Spoke Lussuria.
"So what is wrong with her," Asked Xanxus.
"Something is trying to forcibly remove her flames from her. The result of this is causing her body to shut down and try to focus her flames around her vital organs to keep them working and had to give upon the more external parts like her legs and I can tell the arms are starting to weaken as well," Lussuria said.
"Draining her flames like what ghost did in the alternate future," Levi asked.
"Similar but slightly different. Whatever is causing this drain is doing it at a slower pace than ghost did and seems to be doing it deliberately for some unknown reason," Lussuria answered.
"Okay trash how we stop the drain," Xanxus asked.
"Well there are three possible options that we could do to stop the drain but I'm not sure if they will work," Lussuria said. "The first option is to teach her to activate her flames and try to help her to limit the flow of the drain if not stop it all together."
"If we do that then she would be noticed as a flame active eventually. Even if we try to keep them away someone will find out about her. Did you find out what flame type she is," Xanxus said.
"She's a sky," Lussuria said.
"Well that just makes things worse if an unaligned sky is found by the yakuza or another family they may try to force her into their ranks. We would have to keep an eye on her and make sure she had quality guardians," Squalo said.
"Well I'm sure you will hate the second option even more," Lussuria said. "We could try to prevent the drain by placing a seal on her flames. Unfortunately without any knowledge on what is causing the drain on her flames there are only two options that have a chance at working. I'm sure you will absolutely hate both of them."
"What are they trash," Xanxus said.
"The first would be the same type seal Vongola ninth used on the tenth when he was young. The other option would be the zero point break through," Lussuria said already running to the side. The moment he said the second seal Xanxus started to fire continuous hail of bullets at Lussuria for an hour before he finally calmed down.
"Explain trash," Xanxus said.
"They are the only two ways that can seal the flames strongly enough to hopefully prevent the drain," Lussuria said.
"Well that is not an option I'm not sealing any relative of mine," Xanxus said.
"Well the third option is to question her guards. I got the feeling from the one that was with her that she knew what was wrong but didn't tell the young cutie for some reason," Lussuria said.
"I see," Xanxus said. He spent a few minutes thinking about what to do before he said, "During the next appointment you will teach her about flames and how to activate them along with basic control exercises. While you are doing that the others are going to be fighting her guards trying to get answers."
"If we are doing that I call dibs on the pink hair girl. I can tell she uses a sword and I can't wait to cross blades with her," Squalo said.
"I'll take the little bunny," Belphegor said.
"I'll fight the shape shifting dog," Leviathan said. They had caught the dog shifting into a human form.
"Mu I guess that leave the blond to me. You better be paying me," Mammon said.
"So what are you going to be doing while the rest of us are fighting," Squalo said.
"I'm not going to be wasting my time on shitty trash," Xanxus said. In reality he planned on using the time to sneak into the house and see if he can find the source of the flame drain. "Mammon have your mist create a territory so no one sees the fight. We don't want the Vindice on our ass."
"Okay boss," the group said as they went to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Well there we have the second chapter of Varia of the night sky. The next chapter will have a few good fight scenes with the Varia versus wolkenritter. Just to make it clear this is before the start of MGLN A's so the TSAB still isn't aware that the book has become active yet.
