A Royal Spring Chapter Two
Dark-yokokitsune. Forgot to mention you, 'm sorry~! *gives cookie of apology*
Anyone else I accidentally left out? Let me know if I messed up on anyone else.
Ah ha ha, I'm on a plane! (Yamamoto moment!)
Okay, I'm listening to music, I'm seriously on a plane going to... whoops, can't say. Sorry peoples~!
Anyone have suggestions for my next three fanfictions in this series? Yeah, I'm going beyond trilogy, if I haven't told you yet.
The next three are...
A Royal Summer (I have a suggestion for the Varia to vacation at the beach, but I'm not sure if I can make that take up eighteen chapters, ne?)
A Royal Fall (Totally open to suggestions for this one!)
A Royal End (I will consider ideas, but I'll probably come up with a plot for this one soon, since it would be the last one.)
Oh, and would someone tell me what six times eighteen is?
Bel: Why can't you figure it out yourself?
Me: Fine! *works it out*
18 x 6=108
Woah! That's a lot!
Bel: Hardly.
Me: It is too! *whacks shoulder with rolled up fanfiction* Then, by time this ends, if I keep up the 18 chap tradition, I'll have 108 chapters throughout the whole series.
Bel: Well, you only have 19 chapters done, so how about you start writing?
Me: Oh, yeah.
Outside Varia headquarters, No time has passed since I left off.
Fran sighed sadly as another window exploded. "Great. Who's going to take care of this?"
Squalo stopped strangling Lussuria and looked back to the burning headquarters. "Well, brat, if I knew, I wouldn't be taking out all this stress on Lussuria, would I?"
"Yes, you would," replied Bel, "After all, this IS Lussuria's fault."
"You wanna be strangled next, scum?" threatened Xanxus.
"No thanks," replied Bel nonchalantly, folding his arms behind his head as he grinned.
"Senpai," called Fran. The prince looked at him. "You realize we won't be able to share a bed if there is no bed."
"Whaddaya mean?" asked Bel, before the grin on his face abruptly vanished. "Hey... We don't have a headquarters."
"DID YOU JUST FIGURE THAT OUT NOW?" roared Squalo.
"Yeah, I just figured it out now, what about it?" the prince mumbled, "but, Froggy..." Fran nodded for Bel to go on. "Does this make us... hobos?"
"Senpai," muttered Fran, shaking his head with disappointment in the prince.
"Hey, I had to ask, didn't I?" Bel protested. Suddenly, Lussuria shrieked, causing everyone to turn on him.
"Is this about your 'beauty products?'" asked Squalo. Lussuria nodded worriedly, and ended up getting hit with...
"... I don't have any wine on me," grumbled Xanxus, "You're lucky, scum."
"Yay, everyone pick on the boss while he's unarmed!" cheered Fran. The boss reached into his pocket and drew out a pistol, pointing it dangerously at the younger illusionist. Fran blinked twice and pointed at Mammon. "He said it."
The boss sighed and put the gun away. "Stop messing around, scum," he ordered, "This is a serious situation."
Bel nudged Fran. "Why'd you do that?"
"Cause I was about to die," Fran answered simply. He felt something whiplike lash over his back and yelped with pain, jumping forward and against Bel. He looked behind him. "Mammon!" he protested.
"You were being mean," the Arcobaleno told him.
BANG!
Everyone jumped slightly and looked to Xanxus, who had fired his gun into the air so that they would quiet down. "I said to stop fooling around, scum." He took out his cell phone. "I'm going to call Tsunayoshi."
The other Varia stayed deadly silent as their boss called the tenth generation Vongola, a dark expression on his face.
...
It was taking a while.
"... The line's busy."
Everyone groaned at the Vongola, before Xanxus cleared his throat for attention once more. "Alright, alright, everyone get your cell phones out and call."
All the Varia drew out their phones.
"Ah, bossu, what's his number?" asked Bel.
Xanxus showed him the number on his phone, so the prince dialed it, then gave the number to Fran. Soon, everyone was calling him.
"Busy," grunted Squalo.
"Same," agreed Mammon.
"Here here," Fran mumbled.
"Stupid brat," growled Xanxus.
"Mou~," pouted Lussuria.
"Man I hate that kid," huffed Levi.
Everyone looked at Bel. The prince grinned and nodded at them. "Vongola, this is the prince ... hey!"
"What is it?" asked Xanxus. Bel looked crestfallen.
"He hung up on me!"
The Varia began shouting, some curses, others just random words.
"Everyone text him!" yelled Xanxus. The Varia quickly began to text messages to the Vongola at a violent speed.
"I tell you, Reborn, the wierdest people call me," muttered the Vongola, sitting back in his chair.
"You should've taken that call," his tutor replied, "Who was it?"
"No idea."
Suddenly, about twenty-six beeps rang out all at once, and the Vongola jumped as he saw several messages appearing on his phone. He tried to read the words, but only managed to read two of each before the next message popped up.
'You brat- Vongola!- The prince- Listen!- Fire!- My perfume is- We're ruined!'
"What the...?" Tsuna muttered. "What's all this about?"
Reborn looked at his phone. "That's Xanxus's number. And that one is Belphegor, Squalo, Leviathan... You ought to call Xanxus." (A/N: First time I've used Leviathan instead of Levi in a fanfiction. Ever.)
"Uhh... alright?"
"Everyone stop, I'm getting a call," Xanxus said. The sound of beeping died down, and Xanxus (almost) smiled with triumph. "It's Tsunayoshi," he announced before answering. "Vongola," he acknowledged.
(Uhh... Is something going on?)
"Hell yeah, something's going on," the Varia boss muttered. "Lussuria burned down our headquarters."
(*sigh* Not today...)
"Yeah, today. Now you gonna help us or what?"
(Uhh... do I have to?)
"I guess that's your choice, but we're the strongest force in the Vongola."
In a low voice, the Vongola responded,
(No, Hibari-san is the strongest force in the Vongola. [his voice returned to normal-] Alright, I'll head over with Shoichi and Spanner. I'll be there in two days, got it?)
"Good."
(See you then.)
"...Scum."
Xanxus closed his phone and looked around. "We've got two days. What do you all wanna do?"
"Let's all buy hobo clothes and act like hobos!" Bel announced, jumping up and down.
"Two days? That's nothing!" chuckled Fran.
"I know, right?" Mammon agreed, high fiving the other Mist with a tentacle.
"Voi, I say we go fishing," suggested Squalo.
"Whaaat? But none of that seems very... very... uhm... word!"
"Attractive."
"Thanks Bel-chan! Being a homeless person or going fishing, neither of those would let me keep my personality and sanity in tact!" protested Lussuria.
"We don't care what you think, you're the reason we're out here," Xanxus told him.
CRASH!
Everyone looked at where the headquarters was burning only seconds ago. "Woo! Now we're officially homeless!" cheered Bel, before hugging Fran. All that was left was ashes.
"Yay," Fran said sarcastically. Mammon sighed.
"Hey, why don't we check and see if anything's left?" he asked. Everyone silently agreed by walking off towards the burned headquarters. Fran and Bel began to kick up ashes, so Squalo hurried over and pulled them away from the base.
"Voi, we don't want all that flying around in the air, so you two just stay here." Bel pouted, and Fran rolled his eyes, but both agreed by walking over to a tree and sitting down.
Mammon was looking purely to see if any euros were still there, which there weren't, but he ended up finding a few good knives, which he threw to Bel. Squalo was checking everything that he found for surviving objects that could be useful. But all of a sudden...
"Ah, finally!"
...everyone turned on Lussuria. He was holding up a pink bottle that was filled with...
"I found my perfume!"
...a random beauty product.
"Voi, Luss," grunted Squalo, stepping towards him. Lussuria looked at him.
"Yes, Squ-chan?"
"Let me see that for a moment."
"It's about time you got intrested in this kind of thing, Squ-chan," praised Lussuria, handing him the bottle. He ended up regretting it.
Squalo, as it turns out, had a really good arm from all that practicing with his sword, in fact, it was attatched to his hand, so when he threw the perfume, it was clear that no Varia would be seeing it ever again. In fact, unless you lived in the forest between Rome and Florence, as Fran and Mammon once had, you probably wouldn't see it. Maybe that bear would.
Fran and Bel both applauded when a very distant shatter was heard, while Lussuria pouted about it, his arms folded with frustration. "I needed that, Squ-chan," Lussuria protested.
"We all did," Squalo agreed in a voice over-saturated in sarcasm. "Now what are we doing for two days?"
"I'd advise a hotel," muttered Xanxus, "but all the hotels we have in these parts are crap." (A/N: No offence to Italy or its people, just keeping the plot moving.)
"Yay~! Froggy, we're hobos, let's dance together!" cheered Belphegor.
"Uh... no thank you," Fran replied, but was dragged to his feet by the prince anyway.
"Come on, Froggy, where's your Easter spirit?" Bel asked, leaning in to bribe his kouhai with a kiss. Fran just pushed him away.
"Not this time, senpai. Easter isn't for another two weeks, and for your information, last year, that was one of the worst days of my life," Fran told him bluntly.
"Aww, why's that?" protested Bel.
"I'll give you a hint. Rabbit. Costume."
"Oh yeaaaaaaaaah! But that got burned in the fire, so we won't be seeing Luss in it again."
"I hope not," said Fran with a shiver, before he looked to his other teammates. Mammon was swinging gently on a tree branch with a couple of tentacles, his expression solemn. "What's wrong?" Fran asked. Mammon shook his head.
"We're broke, kid. Our only hope is working directly for the Vongola until we earn back enough to afford new weapons to go on missions."
Everyone fell silent, even, suprisingly, Squalo.
"Earn?" questioned Bel, "I'm a prince."
"You're a hobo prince, senpai," muttered Fran.
"You're a hobo Froggy, Froggy," giggled Bel.
"Voi, what do you mean by 'working directly for the Vongola?" asked Squalo.
"Chores, cooking, stuff like that," Mammon said, "if they have someone come over to rebuild our base for us, then we may have to go to Japan anyway."
Lussuria raised his hand high in the air and said, "I can cook~!"
"No," said Xanxus instantly. Everyone looked at him, disbelieving.
"Voi, boss, Luss is the only one who could cook."
"Froggy could do it, but he'd have to be in a maid's outfit so I am kept entertained."
"No, senpai, we don't have a 'maid's outfit' option."
"I could-"
"No, Levi."
Xanxus looked around at his subordinates and grunted out, "He needs a punishment."
Confused still, the group all glanced at Lussuria, then back at their boss.
"Sun trash," Xanxus said, looking to his Sun Guardian, "You are banned from any and all kitchens until summer." Everyone gasped with suprise and shock, for Lussuria and the kitchen were meant to be, and Lussuria being forced to part from the kitchen meant... he was sad for once in his life.
"So who's gonna cook then?" asked Squalo. Bel raised Fran's hand, ignoring Fran's 'senpaaaaii' of complaint.
"Pick Froggy!" he said.
"Well, Fran, you can handle the noodle and rice dishes, but I'll handle sushi and other seafood dishes," said Squalo.
"Mou...," whined Lussuria.
"Alright... let's just all stay here and wait for Tsunayoshi," Xanxus said, then looked at Squalo, "Shark trash, go buy some random food."
"Xanxus, we're broke," the shark pointed out.
"NO FOOD FOR TWO DAYS?" gasped all the Varia at once
