Monika-san: Mosh, mosh! Welcome the second chapter of Soothing Rain by Kiss-san!

Haruhi-nee: We're her co-hosts Haruhi-nee and Monika-san.

Monika-san: Unfortunately Kiss-san is asleep thanks to Haruhi-nee injecting her with way too much sedatives. So we're running the show. Hopefully she gets back before the end.

Haruhi-nee: She'll be back to give her after thoughts, I'm not that evil.

Monika-san: ++Sweat drops.++ You are that evil to your little sister. Disclaimer please.

Haruhi-nee: Kissanpennun doesn't own KHR, but she does own her Ocs.

Monika-san: Let's see, last left off Mea was kinda accepted as Xanxus' assistant right?

Haruhi-nee: ++Reads last chapter.++ Yea, but on the side notes Kiss-nee wrote about the ring conflict and Mea entering then when Tsuna learns about the ring conflict.

Monika-san: ++Takes the side notes and read it over and laughs.++ Lol, wow, we totally missed the fact she already had the chapter down pat. Well, here's the show.

Haruhi-nee: Enjoy the chapter, or I'll find you and split you open.

Monika-san: ++Sweat drops.++ STOP THREATENING KISS-SAN'S READERS!

Haruhi-nee: ++Looks at her.++ The show is starting, now shush up. Oh, and the beginning of the chapter is right when Varia group and Tsuna's group learn of the Ring battles, but it's right when Xanxus is going to fire. That's what sis means to pick up from-nee.


Chapter 1: Ring conflict and so much more chaos.

Squalo wanted to fight, so he bulled rushed straight at Tsuna even before the Cervellos came to introduce themselves. Xanxus didn't stopped him and Iemitsu couldn't really get to the group in time, neither could Basil as they watched in horror. Tsuna swallowed as the blade got closer to him, but then he heard a strangle sound above him since he closed his eyes. He jumped back, startled to see Squalo tamed by a knee thrust to his chest by a woman who barely came up to his neck.

"You trash…" Squalo swore, glaring daggers of hate straight at the woman who stopped him in his tracks. "If you attack him before the Cervellos get here, you forfeit your ring over to the boy. Now, you really don't want that now do you?" said the woman in a calm tone, but underneath it she was really taunting Squalo since she knew his pride would be too much for him to do that. He grunted, holding his abdomen as he was escorted back by the woman. "Um, t-thank you. For just now." Said Tsuna looking at the woman. She turned around, her blue eyes looking directly into Tsuna's brown eyes. She laughed, a soft melodic sound escaping her with entrapped Squalo for a moment since he never heard her laugh like that before around Varia group.

"Aw, seems like Mea-chan is bewitching again." Said Lussuria with his pinky to his lips only to get a hateful glare from Xanxus. Xanxus had knew this woman two years, and never did she laugh like that before him. "Pardon me, Tsunayoshi Sawada, second heir to the Mafia family Vongola. I didn't know you would be so young, but I guess it's best to start them off young." she said, tossing her dark brown out of her eyes as it flowed down to the middle of her back. She offered Tsuna a hand, although she felt the disapproving glare from Xanxus didn't shake her.

"Xanxus-sama." she said loud enough for him to hear her as she pulled Tsuna to his feet. She turned around, adjusting her white button down shirt over her black pencil skirt. She wore high heels because she was told to, and it probably shocked Gokudera a bit how she could combat in her clothes. "He is also a heir, which means I have to treat you both the same. He's also my boss you do know." she said, which made Reborn smirk at the comment. "No you don't!" yelled Levi, which made Lussuria try to calm him before he said something ridicules as always.

"You said Xanxus-sama was your only boss!" He yelled, causing Xanxus to narrow his eyes at her more before something sunk into his mind. "No… she is correct. She works for the Heir of the family. At the time, Xanxus was the only heir to the family since the other two were gone. Now that there are two of them here she has her work cut out for her." said Iemitsu looking over at the Varia group which made them all fall silent. "What do you mean dad?!?" exclaimed Tsuna, not getting anything that was told to him.

"In other words, Tsuna-sama." Said Mea calmly, smiling at him as she shooed Squalo away to the rest of the group. "I have to attend to both of you while this whole ring conflict goes about. But, if you do not wish for me to be around that is fine. Reborn-san knows how to contact me, and so does your father if you request me to be your assistant for the day. But only a day, I fear if I leave Xanxus-sama with these buffoons." She points at the group behind Xanxus. "I doubt he would get any of his things done. Lussuria is trust worthy…but I still worry about Levi screwing something up." she said softly, giggling when she hears Levi's outburst to her comments.

Tsuna really didn't get this woman, not at all. "That's the thing, I don't need an assistant at all." said Tsuna defiantly, hoping she would get the message. Mea blinked, a soft laugh escaping her as she bowed to him. "I understand Tsuna-sama. I'll be over at the Varia place if you need me to clarify something for you." she said, which earned a sigh of relief from Tsuna. She walked over to the Varia group, some of them looking at her like a traitor but she ignored them since the only one who was suppose to matter was looking at her like he always did. "We're leaving trash." he said, walking with her towards the place she made reservations for them to stay at. The rest of the Varia group following Xanxus reluctantly after hearing the Cervellos' words about the matches and where they were going to take place.


"VOOOOIIIII!!!" Yelled Squalo as Mea walked over to Xanxus with a cup of fresh coffee, she set it down in front of him before fully looking at Squalo. He was glaring daggers at her as she calming placed the silver tray to her chest. "Yes Squalo?" She asked, seeing Mammon float beside Bel while he teased the fallen prince. "Why in the hell didn't you tell us about that part of your job?" he snarled, causing Xanxus to look up at her to see her answer the question. Everyone's attention was on her now, even the few men that weren't ring bearers were listening in on what she had to say.

"The Ninth didn't want me to inform Xanxus on the possibility of me changing to another person so he told me to keep silent. Although " she said walking over to take the kettle off of the burner so she could talk more freely. "being with Tsuna-sama would be a sudden change, I don't think it'll quiet feel like home." she dropped a tea bag into the teapot to let it soak. "Home?" said Squalo, quiet stunned at her statement more or less. She glanced at the clock to see that it was only several hours before the first match and then she calculated how long dinner would take.

"Ahya, seems like we're out of food here. I'll go grab something down at the store to cook up." she said smiling as she picked up her purse to leave. "Lussuria please watch them for me, I'll go get-" "Lamb on the bone." finished Xanxus taking a sip from his cup. "Right, lamb for dinner tonight." she said softly before leaving the room altogether. "Boss." said Squalo looking over at him about letting her just leave. "Mammon, follow her with Bel. Make sure nothing goes wrong while she shops." said Xanxus before the two vanished from sight as they did as they were ordered to do.


Mea walked around the town with a map so she could go towards the shopping district. She was being looked at, but most who looked at her were men who never seen her before. She was curvy, and she did hate her oversized D cup breasts since it made her stand out more than anyone else. She had a basket in hand as Bel and Mammon watched her disguised as two children. She walked up the shopping center asking the various shop owners where the best lamb meat was sold and quality ingredients as well. They all told here were to go, and what she didn't know was five men accumulated to follow her everywhere.

"Seems like the boss was right, she does attract those worms." said Bel who watched one pervert stroke himself behind a telephone pole far from where Mea was. A few of them were doing that, the obvious glaze of lust in their eyes told the two assassins that these men really wanted what wasn't theirs. "Mm. Seems that way, but she also the only one in the group who can cool the boss down. If he finds out about this he could kill these men out of sport." said Mammon which caught Bel's attention about that statement. Blood being shed over a woman? It sounded good in his ears, particularly how possessive the boss was about Mea being alone or shopping alone without some of his men. She did tell Xanxus off the last time she went shopping about sending in mafia men to watch over her.

"Take some of the men with you." Xanxus said flatly looking at her murderously as if to make her do as he said. "No Xanxus-sama. If I take these men around me I would defiantly have trouble getting what I need. I mean honestly." she said looking at him then points at the lower class of Varia assassins. "How is a normal woman going to walk around with mafia men? I want them to think I'm harmless when I talk to them to get what you want. And Don't I always get the best quality when you don't send your men with me?" she said giving him the look.

"Shenshenshen, the boss needs to know she has quiet a crowd masturbating behind her back. Shenshenshen, and even worse part is they don't even know she's a virgin." said Bel to Mammon while he dialed Xanxus to inform him of what was going on. Mea shopped on, not really paying much attention to the unwanted stares since she herself was so use to it due to the many stares she gets when walking next to Xanxus. She sighed, picking up a bottle of brandy to look at it and she smiled softly recalling how she and Xanxus got in an argument over his drinking. He may have threw a bottle at her, but she did get to the point that he needed to drink less amounts of alcohol if he was gonna run the family.

"What's you looking at there miss?" came a man's voice and Mea turned to look at him. He wasn't too handsome, with his blond hair falling around his face and the toothpick in his mouth. She blinked her blue eyes at his face then glanced at his attire. Yazuka? She thought looking at the men behind him that scared off the on lookers. "Some brandy for something I need to prepare soon." she said, paying for the beverage and started to walk off when the man grabbed her right arm. "I don't think you understand miss, you see. How I see this is going to happen, is you come with me and be my bitch for the night." said the blond and that made Mea sigh while his men laughed at him for the suggestion.

"Sir, that is impossible. If Xanxus-" she was cut off by the sudden slap to her face and she stumbled. She held onto her grocery basket tightly as she looked at the man once more and he smirked at her. "Sir, you're messing with the wrong woman…" she warned softly, something inside of her now regretting going alone to this place. "Why's that bitch?" one of his men asked. "Oh~ dear! They do have Mea-chan just like Bel said!." came a familiar voice. Mea froze hearing Lussuira's so close to her, she turned around and her eyes widen even further as she stared at the Varia group.

"See, told you she was getting unwanted attention from men. Shenshenshen." said Bel grinning at her as Mammon nodded. "Mea-chan~ are you ok? Did you get dinner before these brutes try to hurt you?" asked Lussuria in a concern tone, which only pissed off Squalo. "VOOOOIIIII!! What in the hell are you doing?" He bellowed at her, showing he was beyond pissed at her for getting caught like this. Mosca just exhaled smoke as he held Mammon in his hands. "Tch." She drifted her eyes over to Xanxus and swallowed, she gave a calm smile to him and sighed. "Forgive me, but this man caught me when I wasn't expecting him to grab me." she said hoping he would calm down.

The Yazuka man who held her grabbed the back of her hair, pulling her head back harshly and put a knife to her throat. "Bitch, shut the fuck up or die!" He said as his men prepared to shoot at the Varia group. She could feel the basket she was holding getting ripped away from her and she kicked the man away as he tossed her basket into the air. Lussuria caught it effortlessly and looked at the contents. "Oh~." he said looked at Mea. "You got a better age of brandy for the boss? Mea-chan is so thoughtful~! You knew the boss complained about the age of the brandy that the hotel had in stock."

Mea was going to say something when her shirt was ripped open by the man who took her basket. "Look at those titties! They are perfect size boss." said the man as he groped her involuntarily which caused her to kick him hard in the groin. She clenched her jaw trying to not scream as her boss and comrades watched this. "Bitch, do you know who owns you? We do!" said the blond man behind her tugging her head back harder and she looked and Xanxus to see what he would do. He stood there, watching the whole thing with little amusement. "Xanxus…" she said softly, her vision darkening as she was on the verge of passing out from the lack eating for today. She only had one meal today because she was so busy trying to find Xanxus and everyone else in Varia in town. So she really didn't have much energy left. She saw Xanxus make a motioning with his hands before she completely blacked out.

~Three hours later~

Mea woke up to the smell of lamb and something warm covering her. She stirred, waking up to see a plate in front of her and she wondered where she was. Slowly sitting up she looked around to see she was back in the hotel, and she was also wearing someone's coat to cover her torn shirt up. She cut a piece of the lamb, tasting it and smiled to see Lussuria figured out what the flavors she was going to reach with the items she bought. She could hear something pouring to her left and got hit in the face with a letter. She blinked, opening it to see scrawled on there.

Take care of the boss while we do these battles hun, and also take care of yourself. I'm sorry we made you run all over town looking for us. But we can't have our only princess getting sick because we're incompetent of telling her where we were going. Eat the food, take care of the boss and leave everything else to us! Hope we win all of these.

~Love,

Lussuria Guardian of the Sun, Assassin of the Varia Group in the Vongola family.

She blinked, glancing over at Xanxus who was drinking his fourth glass of brandy from the bottle she bough. She smiled, noting he took off his coat to cover her torn shirt. "Thank you sir." she said, turning around to eat her dinner quietly. Xanxus looked at her, his mind turning over why he saved her but he knew only one reason. My woman. The instincts to protect her were there, and now a days these thoughts of her being his kept assaulting him. What was it about this calm woman who fought back when needed that made him feel this way? She wasn't like the rest of the whores he met.

In fact, she was the only virgin he knew. And he only knew she was a virgin due to the little game she made them all play a month after he was freed. He watched her with bored red eyes, waiting for her to do something to make him angry. To force him to act violently towards her so he can feel at ease with it. Anger and hate, those emotions he could deal with. But this damn feeling he was getting from her was driving him slowly insane. He pushed it aside, ignored it like it was trash. I have to concentrate on the Sky Ring. That is what I am here for, not here for this woman. He thought taking another sip of brandy while he waited for his group to return victorious.


Monika-san: Well that seemed interesting indeed.

Kissanpennun: ++Walks in groggy. ++ Hai-nee…

Haruhi-nee: See, she is awake now.

Kissanpennun: No thanks you to. I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter while I was KO'd.

Monika-san: I liked it. Detailed but it gave us a good suspense on what Xanxus is feeling.

Kissanpennun: Could be better but I chose to do it this way. The next chapter is After the conflict is over and in the future. Again, this is only showing the points where Mea and Xanxus interact. After this she's just doing her job and nothing else like that happens again.

Haruhi-nee: Serious? Nothing else happens after this?

Kissanpennun: Not until in the future, hence why I may do a brief chapter that sums her interaction between her and Xanxus while the conflict is going on.

Monika-san: Please R&R.

Haruhi-nee: If you don't I'll sedate you and see your innards.

M&K: How is it you act like Phantom Thief Sai at times?

Haruhi-nee: Don't ask, just post your next summary.

Kissanpennun: Fine, see ya next time. Ciao-nee.

Chapter 2: Quick summary

What would happen if the chemistry between Xanxus and Mea was slowly being turned up as the conflict went on? Also, just a future chapter tease here, but what would it affect on their future selves? Till next time. Ja-nee :3
