"A girl!" Bel exclaimed, tossing his legs to hang over the arm of the couch
"VOIIII! I agree with you! That Joey is too skimpy to be part of Varia! I bet he can't even kill someone!" Squalo raged in the background
"Now, we don't know what Joey-kun is capable of. For all we care, he's an excellent fighter!" Lussuria defended, removing his apron that states 'Cooking Mama'
"Sempai, is the food ready already?" Fran moaned, squatting by the couch since Belphegor was taking up all the space
"Oh, yes. It is. Bel-kun do you mind fetching Joey-kun?" Lussuria asked the lazy blond
"Eh? Why me? Why not that peasant frog?" He pointed at Fran with his knife
"Because I want you to apologize to Joey-kun for attacking him awhile ago" Lussuria pouted
"Che, fine" Belphegor grumbled, not wanting to argue right now, heavily dragging his feet out after standing up
"His room is next yours!" He heard Lussuria shout at him
As Belphegor reached Joey's room, he casually walked in
Stepping in, his eyes fell upon Joey's back
The new Varia member turned around and scoffed "Ever heard of knocking?"
Bel's face grew red at the sight of Joey's black brassiere
"Y-you're… You're a…" He stuttered
Joey blinked at him and realized what he was trying to say, he looked down to his own chest and groaned
"Well, since you've found out, I am a girl… My name's Josephine but I go by Joey" The purple haired girl said, trying to hide her chest by folding her bandaged arms
"Ushishishi~ Were you lying about your gender, peasant?" Belphegor regained his composure
"No. You all assumed that I was a boy, so I went with it. So technically, I'm not lying" Joey walked over to her luggage and took out a plain orange shirt and put it on
"What brings you here anyway?" She turned her eyes back to him
"Ushishishi~ Dinner's ready" Belphegor shrugged
"Okay" She bluntly replied, following the blond prince out her room and downstairs
"How long are you planning to hide your gender, peasant?" He asked, walking a couple paces in front of Joey
"I'm not hiding my gender, I'm being who I am. If you all think I'm a boy, then just do so, I don't care. You can tell them if I'm a girl, but I doubt that anything will change" Joey shrugged her shoulders.
"Ushishishi~" Bel simply laughed, reaching the dining room, he pushed the doors open and waltzed in
The dining room was large, smaller than what Joey was used to. The table occupied the very middle of the room, which can seat 12 people. Its traditional Italian design complimented the whole design of the room
Levi and Xanxus wasn't present in the room. Squalo, in the other hand, brought his plate to his room
"Ah, Joey-kun, come here! The food taste great" Lussuria patted the chair's seat, signaling Joey to seat beside him
She gave a small nod and sat beside him
"So, what country are you from?" Lussuria interviewed her
"I'm a full blooded Italian, but was raised in England" Joey stabbed the cut steak and raised it up to her lips
"Oh, why is that?" Lussuria ate his own food while looking at the bright eyed girl
Joey choked, coughing incessantly until the food was dislodged from her throat
Lussuria immediately handed her a drink, which she didn't hesitate to gulp down
"Uhm…" Joey coughed "It's because… I guess that information is classified" She murmured
"I'm sorry for bringing it up then. I hope you'll get used to everything here as soon as possible" He patted her back
"Thanks…" Joey's eyes caught Belphegor flashing his Cheshire grin at her
"What do you want?" Joey spat, her emotions falling flat
"Ushishishi~" He merely laughed, knowing her little secret
"Bel-sempai~ you're freaking me out" Fran groaned, pulling away from him
"Tch, shut up, you un-cute kouhai" He warned, pulling out a knife
"I bet you're freaking out Joey-sempai as well, isn't he, Joey-sempai" The teal haired boy looked over to Joey
"More like irritate" She replied, catching a knife Bel threw at her
"Ushishishi~ the peasant's irritated is she?" Bel taunted
"He, sempai, Joey-sempai's a boy remember?" Fran raised a finger
"Ushishishi~ About that…" Bel shot a look at Joey
As a reply, her brows furrowed yet her expression remained tedious
"About that," Bel repeated "You don't seem to be like a boy at all, Joey"
"…" Joey returned to eating her meal
"Ushishishi~ you're more like a flat chested girl"
Joey's cheeks flared and stood up "That's it! One on One, now"
"Ushishishi~ peasant's feisty isn't he now?" Bel laughed once more, before standing up
"Now, now, not at the table" Lussuria ushered them, only to back off, seeing how Joey's eyes turned cold at Bel
Wooooo. Fight scene is up next! I'm doing a suckish job at this :| I'm a sophomore, gimme a break. Reviews please :)
