Chapter Two

"VVVVOOOOOOIIIII!"

"Oh dear there goes Squalo again" Lussuria solemnly said.

"IM NOT GETTING ON THAT DEATH MACHINE!"

"I never knew Squalo-san had a plane phobia," I said, directly to Belphegor-a teenaged blonde-who simply laughed devilishly.

"Well its only natural that he'd want to be closer to the water" Belphegor said.

"Considering his personality" I looked to Xanxus who was busy downing a bottle of tequila. Seriously I'm surprised his liver isn't ruined by now from the amount of alcohol he consumes-constantly.

"IM TAKIN THE BOAT!" with that shouted Squalo stomps off.

"How far away is the ninth anyway, I thought he was here in Sicily as well?" I said, directly to anyone that was willing to answer.

"He relocated recently to Venice" Leviathan said, coming from literally out of nowhere. He was a pretty tall guy with Afro spiky dark hair, dark eyes, and piercings along his ears, brow, and lip.

"Come on you fucking scum or we'll be late!" Xanxus shouted and we obeyed (except for Squalo) and boarded the plane. It was Varia's own private jet, so of course everything looked classy. The seats were large and made out of pure cotton, literally when I sat it one of the seats I could feel myself sinking into its wonderfulness. Some attendants came around and offered me wine and food and I waved them away-which felt kind of weird and made me feel guilty. It made me wonder how many people had waved me away when I was on the streets begging for food.

"W-wait! I'll have some ice cream!" I called out. One of the attendants nodded and went to fetch my treat. I looked to Xanxus who, once again and not surprisingly, was downing another bottle of tequila. I don't like Xanxus...at all... I loathe him... but I couldn't bear to watch him practically bring himself closer to liver damage and then cancer and then death.

"Don't you think that's enough drinking for today?" I said, and heard gasps and sucks of air throughout the whole plane. I looked around nervously, 'what's up with them?' Xanxus put down the bottle of tequila and sloppily stood from his seat. He walked over to me and stood in front of me, looking down on me as if he were superior (sadly he kind of is more superior than me).

"Why the fuck would you care? I'd think you'd want me to drink myself to death so you can finally be free of me" he said, a hint of anger rising in his tone.

"Well, I'd care for anyone that was trying to drink their problems away- and in a quick motion he grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pulled me up to him.

"H-hey cut it out!" I yelled punching at his arms.

"You think I'm drinking my problems away?" he was all in my face now, breathing that terrible alcohol stench into my nostrils. As much as I wanted to answer that question I knew that this was the moment I should really just shut up. My response was silence. Xanxus roughly caught my lips, not hesitating to force his tongue into my mouth, and kissed me deeply and long. I had to hit as his chest to let him know I was running out of air-when he parted from my lips he smirked at me, his eyes cutely smirking as well (which is a rarity).

"If it bothers you so much, I swear I'll only have two bottles a day," that sound of gasps and sucks of air sounded throughout the plane again. 'Well this is unexpected'.

"Swear?" he nodded in compliance. What the hell was up with him today? He's being oddly nice-even the whole collar grabbing thing was nicer than what he usually would do to me.

"The alcohol must've taken over your brain," I said without thinking. I instantly closed my eyes tightly expecting him to hit me, but instead I heard laughter. He lowered himself so that his lips brushed against the lobe of my ear- so that his words only reached me.

"I really feel like taking you right now" my cheeks turned sanguine.

"But" I began. There was nowhere to do those kinds of "activities".

"Relax, Mana. Just expect" with that said he returned to his seat. I knew exactly what 'expect' meant. The moment we reached the ninth's place he was going to do it, and I had till then to figure out how to get out of it.

The plane landed and as we exited there was a long hummer limousine waiting with an attendant holding open a few doors. I felt Xanxus grasp my hand tightly as we descended the steps.

"How adorable~e" I heard Lussuria say in the distance. I was the first to enter the large vehicle and then Xanxus and the door closed and he pounced on me.

"Wha-wha... stop!" I yelled pushing at his shoulders, urging him to get off me. But due to me being only one hundred and twenty pounds- his weight definitely out did mine. He was already attacking my neckline, kissing and sucking, making sure to leave obvious hickeys.

"What if the ninth sees the-?

-I'm marking you as mine" he said in such a deep seductive voice and that's all he needed to say to make me completely succumb to him. Don't get me wrong I despise Xanxus with a passion, but when he when he gets all-lustful like that. Even a guy would say yes. He kissed me again, as one strong arm wrapped around me bringing me closer to his body. The heat that radiated from him was like the comfort a blanket gives you. As he tossed his shirt to the side (revealing his amazingly built and toned torso and abdomen) he hastily pressed his skin against me trying to hold me as close as possible, as if someone had the nerve to take me away. I cling my arms around his neck trying not to become overwhelmed of his utter lust for me. He departed from my lips and softly kissed my cheeks trailing down my jaw-line and neck to my bosom and kissed.

"Xan...mmmm" I could barely even say his name, his corruption felt good. I felt something large constantly poking my thigh, and it was really annoying me, so I reached down to grab whatever it was to throw to the side and when I grabbed it Xanxus instantly groaned loudly.

"Damn, woman, you know I like to go first" he said but it didn't sound believable, I knew he wanted me to touch it again. But, now that I know what it is I seriously didn't want to. He began to unbutton and unzip his pants when the car door abruptly opens, allowing the sunlight to reveal the sensual corruption going on in the car.

"Oh, am I interrupting something" Lussuria giggled, placing a slim finger on his chin, trying to act innocent. He knew full damn well he was interrupting "something".

"Lu-Lussuria close the door!" I cried, afraid of the curious eyes that were peeking into the car door. The fruity man continued to laugh but did close the door. When I looked at Xanxus his expression was majorly pissed. His brows were so burrowed together that they almost touched and his eyes screamed wrath. I was afraid, I knew when he got like this he tended to get violent, and I was way too close for him to be getting violent. If I didn't act now, whether it was plan A ditching him in the car or plan B be nice and try to calm him down, something bad was going to go down. Of course when I tried to ditch him he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him. So I went with plan B. Calm him down. I kissed him on the forehead first, which seemed to make his brows relax.

"You act like this is the only time you can have me" I said. He glared at me, sending icy chills all over my body.

"You almost said my name" he said,

"Ever since I saved you, not once have you ever said my name".


My eyes widened in shock. Was that true? There's no way I could've spent two years in the Varia and not once said his name. But at the same time, it's possible. For the most part i've always referred to Xanxus as 'him' or 'boss'. If this moment was literally the only time I ever bothered to say his name, what kind of maelstrom of emotions was going on in his head.

"I never realized that" I said. His bitter glare relaxed into a sad smirk.

"Well you do hate me" he said causing a sharp pain in my heart.

"Do you hate me for saving you?" the car door opened again, this time a guy with wild dark ginger hair and pure hazel nut eyes gawking at the unusual moment.

"X-X-X-Xanxus!" he yelped. Who's he? I turned to Xanxus for answers but the boss had sudden glowing scars all over his face and body. I've only seen this once, and the whole Varia manor was destroyed. I ditched the car and ran as far away as I could, when the sound of a huge explosion had the people of Venice stopping in their tracks.

"It seems Xanxus has greeted Tsuna already" next to me was an old man, maybe in his late sixties, with pure white hair and bold brown eyes. He wore a simple white dress shirt and black slacks and black dress shoes.

"Your Timoteo" I gasped. The old man smiled politely at me.

"That's ninth to you, and it seems you've been taking great care of my son. Usually when he sees Tsuna he goes on this two hour rampage but luckily on the car exploded. Hm, it seems i'll have to buy a new one"
