Proof Of An Immortal - Verde
Disclaimer ~ I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
*The one where Skull accidently eats one of Verde's new poisons*
"Verde!" Skull yelled bouncing into the Lightning's lab. Verde looked up from his computer with annoyance. The Cloud was especially hyper today and, for some reason, Verde got stuck dealing with him. Normally, Verde could simply ignore him and he would go away. Obviously this isn't normally.
"Skull. If you insist on hanging around why don't you feed the rats. Cages 1-7 get the blue box of food. Cages 8-23 get the red box," Verde explained. Skull cheerfully skipped off to complete the task he was given and Verde hoped he could get a few minutes of peace to work. He was able to finish several parts of the formula he was working on before Skull's exclamation drew his attention.
"Ooh! Strawberries! Are these for anyone Verde?" Skull asked picking one up and eating it. Verde's eyes widened in horror.
"No you idiot! That's an experimental poison!" Verde yelled, knocking over his chair in his haste to get to the idiotic stuntman. He wasn't worried for the idiot. No way. He was just worried how Luche would kill him if he let Skull be killed because of him. She was fond of him for some reason.
Skull looked at the bowl of strawberries calmly. "Then why are they just sitting out in the open? If I was gonna make poisoned straw…" he trailed off, his eyes closing and his body tilting to the side. Verde made it to him before his body fell. Frantically, he checked for a pulse and found nothing. Skull's body didn't respond to anything and was steadily growing colder. Verde felt a sense of dread as he stood up to tell the other Arcobaleno of the unfortunate news. He could study Skull's body later for feedback. Skull was at fault for eating food just laying around. Although, Verde was maybe a little at fault too. He probably should have labeled the bowl beforehand.
Just as Verde made it to the stairs a surge of cloud flames came from Skull's body. Verde watched in awe as the cloud sat up coughing before the flames finally went out.
"What the hell," Verde muttered to himself as Skull stood up and continued on as if he wasn't just dead for seven minutes and twenty-three seconds.
"I would put the strawberries in a container. I mean, why would you let them rot out in the open like this anyway Verde?" Skull asked, looking at him curiously.
"B-but. You were just dead. You ate the poison and died within seconds!" Verde exclaimed running up to Skull and shaking him frantically. It just shouldn't have been possible! His science brain was trying to find a way he lived and couldn't come up with anything.
"Yeah? What's the big deal? I've told you before that I'm immortal," Skull said as if that solved everything. If anything, Verde had more questions. But before he could ask anything Skull moved past him and started up the stairs. "I fed the rats for you! I'm gonna go work on my bike," Skull said with a wave as he finally disappeared from sight. Verde just continued to look at the stairway where the Cloud Arcobaleno disappeared.
"I am going to have to experiment with this."
Yay! Second chapter done. Sorry if the characters are OOC or anything. I don't actually know much about the Arcobaleno other than what was shone in the anime. I'm going to be reading the manga soon so I can at least hope I'm able to write them better.
If you have any requests feel free to say them! I don't bite!
Please review!
