author's note: Hello everyone! Thank you again for all your wonderful reviews! I'm so happy you won't be able to imagine it ( *author jumping up and down having rainbows and hearties around her* ) No...you won't be able to imagine it ^^.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, even the plot is divided between me and Narzik ( narzik . deviantart . com), so credits to her too~.
Let the show begin!
Chapter 6:
Varia-quality maid
"You'll serve here." Xanxus commands, giving out a satisfied smirk.
When the info got through to everyone else in the room, they looked at their boss, as if he was trying to make a prank on them or something.
"Serve...as in a maid?" Annette asked, not sure where this was all going. I mean, it's not like she knows what a 15 year old teenager means by 'serve'. And she was still shocked from the flame. "And what the- was that just now?"
"OH! Boss, that's a wonderful idea!" The only person in the room to think that said it out loud, ignoring the girl's question. It was the eldest one of everyone in the room, and yet...one of the least respected. Though Squalo for once seemed to more or less agree.
"Don't know how wonderful it is... But that way we'll be able to watch her, if she is from an enemy's family." The second-in-command silver-head said.
"Ushishishi~, if that's the case, why don't we just kill her on the spot?" The spoiled Varia genius asked, taking out his knives already.
"No. She'll come in handy as a hostage." Squalo seriously explained. The girl gave out a playful smile, after shrugging her weird vision of a strong flame thinking that it was just all in her head, "You know, if you want me to stay, just say so." She walked back to the silver-head and brushed her hand against the outlines of his chin. Though then Annette let go and continued to walk towards the chair that she woke up in.
Sitting down, she crossed her legs and then gave a 'lets talk business' look.
"First, is the food and drinks included in the offer?" She asked, saying 'drinks' wondering if they understood what she means. I hope you did.
"Why, of course it is, dear. We might be a bunch of bad assassins, but our subordinates all get what's needed." The guy with a green mohawk and other colors hair started blabbering. Maybe this time, one too many.
"Assassins?" The girl asked, raising an eyebrow as if she didn't believe it.
"Heh, don't tell me you don't even know who we are?" The tallest one of them asked.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Annette laughed like there was no tomorrow, "That explains the swords and knives!" Holding her stomach the teenage girl started to calm down.
Everyone, including Xanxus, stared at her, as if she was a psycho.
"Muu~, why is there so much noise? I can't concentrate on counting my new found money..." A baby flew into the room with a hood, covering half of his face and a big serpent, working as a halo for the baby(Annette wasn't sure what gender it was, but figured since everyone else are guys, this one is also).
"Soo...is the baby also a part of your-" The girl felt her ears standing up, when she understood what money was just 'newly found'. "I'll take the job." Annette announced, smirking at the boss, who was sitting in the King-like chair, as if challenging him to say 'deal is done' or something.
But then the shoulder-long black-headed teenager added as well, "Only if I'll have the access to enter into all. of. your. rooms~." And together with that, she pointed with her index finger at all of them.
Levi and even Squalo blushed rather drastically. Bel just had a disgusted look on him (his mouth was enough to show how much he despised that idea). Lussuria just looked excited (probably already planing a girly-night out or something in the head). Xanxus, even, widened his eyes by a few centimetres (but not much more). Mammon, didn't show any emotion, since he just came into the room (and thought that these kids were just pitiful), he even left straight away, figuring that the place calmed down.
"I meant, I'll need to clean them, right? This may not be in my profession, but...I guess I'll be able to put some woman's touch into this place." The girl answered everyone's looks. Though she was satisfied with the boys' reactions.
"Sure, and with your kind of 'woman's touch' we won't ever see the stuff ever again." The 8 years old mumbled in sarcasm.
Though no once payed attention to him, I mean, no one ever dared to go against the Varia if they could help it.
For the girl, it was thrilling to know the fact that they were assassins and not just some spoiled brats, which made Annette much more interested, though she still didn't care. She will be out of here once she will get that money back and maybe steal some more hearts for the fun of it, just like how she already did with the silver-headed swordsman.
"Accepted, trash." The boss of the Varia accepted, giving a Xanxus smile at her (you know what that is, right? More like a rape face...you saw it before, right?).
"Ain't no trash, as I told you before. Je m'appelle Annette, Annette Claire." The girl intoduced herself, switching from Italian to French, standing up from the chair.
"Well~, let me walk you around. Now that you're going to work here, you should get to know this place, Anne-chan." The gay guy hopped to the girl and took her by the arm and pulled her with him out of the room.
"Ah..and you are?" Annette asked, sort of uncomfortable in the position she is in and with the nickname she just got.
"I'm Lussuria~, but you can call me Lussu-nee~ since we'll be really close from now on." The guy with glasses and fluffy stuff on his black coat noted.
For the first time since the girl woke up, she felt like gulping. Lets say the girl wasn't that great with handling gay guys, like the ones she was walking with right now especially.
"Oh~, and since forever I hoped that we would get a girl here, so I already have a perfect uniform for you~!" Lussuria announced, letting go of our heroine and slamming a big door open, presenting the room to Annette, "This is my room. Just wait here~ I'll get it for you."
"You have an amazing hour-glass shape, so this should fit you." The guy noted, going to the walk-in closest, which was rather big and filled with glamorous and colorful costumes. He took a black dress out of there.
It was a maid's dress. And a pretty sexy one at that. It had half to the knees long skirt, which was flurry with a white a cute white apron attached to it (the only thing that makes it look like a maid's dress). The top was a rather tight, because it had a lace going up to the very chest. Then, as a decoration, there were two fluffy rings for the arms, where on one of them was the Varia symbol. (If you don't get the describtion, just look at the image of Annette on top)
"Cute, isn't it? Why don't you put it on now?" The excited Varia assassin asked our heroine.
"Sure. Why not?" The girl decided, thinking that her job will become even easier to steal the heart of that boss of theirs.
Taking off her clothes right where she stood, the girl stood in her underwear, putting the dress on. Lussuria got a bit surprised at her lack of any embarrassement at all, but didn't seem to mind.
When she finished doing the last touches on herself, she thought it was perfect.
"You're just so pretty, Anne-chan!" Lussuria looked how wonderful the dress fit her.
"Of course I am." The girl said like it was the most obvious thing in the world (well, she definitely believed it), swishing her hair back with her hand, feeling even more confident than before.
"Ok~, now you look for the job, shall we get along with other things?" "I guess." And with that, both of them left in a much merrier mood (since Annette figured that Lussuria might actually be able to help her with their boss. So she decided to act nicer).
"The boss's name is Xanxus. Then the silver colored hair guy is Squalo, his full name is Superbi Squalo, but since he is more like a sharky, we call 'im Squalo. And you actually made him blush...you know that you're the first person to do that?" Lussurbia was telling her about everyone.
"Heh. That's because I'm the best one there is~." Ok, lets say that the girl's self-confidence was at the top of the scale. "You sure are good~. But making the boss fall will be more difficult. Are you really up for the challenge?" Lussuria asked, already guessing what was in the girl's plans.
Not getting surprised at that, Annette just answered straight forwardly, "What challenge? I'll have him in no time~." Her eyes had a spark of a flame and a grin grew of her face.
"Hmm~, this is going to be interesting." Lussuria just noted, continuing to tell her about the mansion size HQ and the other's names. Though he missed to tell her about Vongola, just in case if she really is an enemy and a good actor.
.
Finally, when Annette was able to get rid of Lussuria. The thought that she is finally free to do what she wanted to made it feel exciting.
The girl 'decided' to start 'cleaning' up this Mammon's room, or whatever the name was.
Now that she remembered how the baby looked, he seemed somehow familiar. But then, not bothering to scroll down through the amount of people she met already, it was just a very big list (at least to her).
Soundlessly, the girl walked into the room of the infant, locking the door behind her.
The place was pitch black, with curtains closed, there was absolutely no light in there. "You have the nerves to walk into my territory, girly." A squeaky voice was heard from one of the corners of the room (or that's what it sounded like). "I don't think a baby like you can call me 'girly'." Annette shotback an answer, looking right and left to see where the voice was coming from (though that was pointless, since the place was pitch black and no, she didn't have super eyesight).
"I'm no normal baby." The voice replied. "Yeah, I figured...you were floating in the air... you're an illusionist or whatever Lussuria called you." The girl started to feel uncomfortable, leaning closer to the door.
"Yes, I'm an illusionist. Though for other information, I'll charge you." The uninterested voice finished talking and never said a word again. "Heh. You already took my money, you can't charge me." Annette send a glare at the baby, wherever it was, which, though, was rather useless...since the room was dark.
Understanding that she was being looked down at (BY A BABY...Hello?) the girl jerked her head and left the room (she can always come up with an other plan).
Taking the liberty to look around the place, maybe finding something interesting that she will be able to sell later for a good prize.
That's how the life continued for Annette, Varia's maid.
Ok, so here is the next chap. Hope you enjoyed it ^^.
Yes, Annette didn't become a guardian straight away, no duh... (and no, it wasn't because I wanted to put her in a maid's outfit..no, not at all *looks away*)
Next chapter is going to have more screen-shots with the pairing~, so look forward to it!
And since I wanna know what you guys thought of this story, please review!
