Hey. Oops I haven't updated in a while. A long while, I know. Sorry. :p
Anyway this is something I came up with. Hopefully it's okay yeah?
Chapter 6- the despair that will soon befall
"Shishishi... Okay... Let's analyse the enemy's movements now. When you hit him here, he'll most likely dodge in this direction, then you can attack him from here again where you have set your trap..." Bel was talking and pointing at some papers and diagrams on the table, trying to teach Nellie how to defeat enemies using his genius-style knowledge.
"Oh...Kay... Yeah yeah. Just hurry up
and finish this whole chapter man it's boring."
"ushishi~ the prince doesn't like that attitude."
"What? I was just telling you that I understand your genius teaching and that you can kindly carry on. Uhhh you suck."
Bel grinned crazily and revealed some knives.
"A peasant like you shouldn't talk to the prince like this. Ushishi.."
"Umm prince-san, could you learn to be more understandable? No wonder your brother hates you. "
"Ushishishi~ he's deeaaaad~ I killed him with my own hands. He was a jerk in the first place. And you should know better than to piss me off...shishi..I'm scary when I snap, you know~"
"Yeah right. Tch. I just got reminded of your brother so I mentioned him. I got that weird feeling about him these few days. what's his name again?"
"Hah. Peasant, you are still as stupid as I know you. Seriously...worrying about a dead person. And you dont even know his name. Shishishi... Well, can't expect much out of a wimpy peasant."
"Shut. Up. I'm just warning you. Cheh. I don't even get a thanks."
Nellie frowned to herself and went deep in thought while Bel walked off to get a drink.
She had never seen Bel's brother before. All photos or anything close to Bel's brother would have been burnt to ashes anyway. She had only heard rumours that bel had killed his whole family, even his twin brother, who was older and stronger than him. She never knew the older twin's name.
The interesting thing was that, she had seen these images of a Bel look-alike, with slightly longer hair. And there was these weird mixture of feelings she felt when she saw the image of a longer-haired version of bel. But the difference between him and bel was the difference in feeling. Bel's twin was admirable. She felt a sense of gratitude and warmth. She never doubted it. This was the person she saw back then. It definitely was.

"Trash." Xanxus called out to Levi.
"Boss! What may I do for you?" Levi rushed to his side.
"Get that scum Lussuria to make me some mocchi. Tch." after saying that, Xanxus' stomach growled.
Levi swallowed hard. He knew very well Lussuria wasn't home. What should he do? If he tells Xanxus that, he would flare up and there's gonna be a huge mess. Levi's face paled and he began sweating and screeching non stop.
Xanxus glared at him with an annoyed look which made Levi jump.
"H-H-Haiiiiii! I'll go right away!" Levi said with a shaky voice and ran out.
What now? He needed mocchi, but he did not know how to cook it. He has to find someone to cook mocchi soon or else boss will be pissed.
He thought of Nellie and Haley. Since they were girls, they should know how to cook, right? (interesting assumption he had there)
He growled and muttered to himself "tch. To think i have to ask for their help. But! For the boss, I'm willing to give up my pride!"
So Levi ran to the one who was nearest to him, which was the outdoor training grounds, where Haley and Squalo were training.
As Levi neared them, he tripped on a stone and fell face down onto the grass. Squalo stopped and turned to look at Levi, one of his eyes twitching. Haley stared at Levi in disgust.
"VOOIIII! What do you want, you pathetic fool!?"
"WHAT!? I am not a pathetic fool! I am boss' loyal subordinate! Anyway, more importantly, I need to borrow that woman for a moment. This is for the interests of the boss!" levi said.
"Levi! I don't fucking care about that trashy boss! Haley isn't going with you, dammit! We're in the middle of training!"
Haley's eyes sparkled with passion as she put her hands on her cheeks the way Lussuria does.
"Squ-chan is protecting me from Levi who is trying to take me awayyy~ *Squeals* Squ-chaaaaaaaaaannnn~" Haley said dramatically.
Squalo and Levi stared at her and sweatdropped.
"Don't get me wrong, woman. You are just needed for the good of my training, nothing else." Squalo said.
"Awww Squ-chan, although you say that, I know that you love me~" Haley squealed.
Squalo's vein popped.
"VOOOIIII! JUST SHUDDAP ALREADY! YOU TWO ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES! LEVI, I SWEAR IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" Squalo shouted.
"But this is for the boss' mocchi! I have to borrow her for a moment!" Levi argued.
"mocchi?" Haley said, questioning no one in particular.
"THE HELL?! NO WAY HALEY IS SKIPPING TRAINING JUST FOR THAT BASTARD'S MOCCHI, SO SCRAM!"
"Eh? Mocchi? What's mocchi?" Haley asked.
~silence~
~Squalo and Levi stares at Haley~
~sweatdrops~
"what?" Haley asked, feeling innocent.
"T-trash... You fail. " Squalo said with a " =.= " face.
"Humph. Okay. Since I'm in a hurry, I'll settle this with you later on, Squalo." Levi said and stomped off.
So Levi went off to find Bel and Nellie. Since he did not know where they were, he ran all the way from the first floor to the top of the building, checking every room. Unfortunately, he still could not find them.
" *Pant* *pant* no.. Way.. I've searched this whole block. Where else could they be? They should be training now. But this is the block where we usually train! Where the heck is that woman!? Why does Varia territory have to be so big!?"
Levi growled in frustration. He decided to check their rooms anyway for the sake of boss.
So he ran to another block where the Vaira officers' rooms were. First, he went to Bel's room. But he stopped at the door. He decided to check the room which Nellie and Haley shared instead. Bel would never let anyone enter his room. Besides, if Levi went in, he would most probably get caught in those traps that Bel set in his bedroom.

Meanwhile...
Lussuria looked around. In the crowded mall, he saw a sea of faces, but not mammon.
"Where has my cute little mammon gone to?" he sighed, and pouted a little.
Lussuria continued walking around, half finding mammon, half looking at nice things he passes by.
"Geez. Mammon-chan really ditched me this time. Hmm~ "
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-
What happened a moment ago, when lussuria wasn't looking.
"Viper... Hey viper..." a creepy voice called, but mammon could not identify where it came from.
She was a little annoyed, too. Some random freak she don't know was calling the name that she no longer wanted to use. Now she was standing there, turning around, trying to find the source of the soft voice. She felt like an idiot, being the only one who notice the mysterious voice... Either that or the others didn't care.
Although mammon was somewhat pissed, she wanted to find out what was happening.
"Who are you? Show yourself." she hissed in a whisper.
"Oho. Take a few step backwards..." said a second voice.
Mammon frowned. She suspected that something wrong. The second voice sounded familiar. Very familiar. For a moment she freezed there, not moving. Then she cautiously took one step back.
"Hmm~ that's right... Step back somemore..."
Mammon took another step back, then another, feeling curious and frustrated. And before she could react, she felt something cover her mouth and pull her away violently.
"Mmmph!" she gave a muffled cry before she blacked out.
"Oho. Take care of the rest, torikabuto. I'll leave with him first. Meet us when you're done. Be careful, make sure no one notices anything. Saves the trouble."
"...*nods head* " torikabuto made sure no one noticed anything wrong, and made sure that the scene was just like it had always been, then went off to find lussuria, disguised as mammon using his illusions.
"Hey lussuria." the fake mammon (torikabuto) said as he walked towards lussuria.
Lussuria turned around and saw 'Mammon' standing there.
"Ah, mammon-chan. Where did you go? Big sis luss have been searching for you~" lussuria whined in a girlish way.
The fake mammon mentally sighed in disgust.
"I went to the washroom for a moment. Sorry to keep you waiting." said fake mammon.
"hmm." lussuria tilted his head for a while.
Fake mammon sweatdropped after Lussuria kept staring at him for a while.
"w-what..."
"Oh well. It's okay. Remember to tell me next time, though, or your dear mom will be worried~~~" lussuria said and did some weird disgusting actions.
Fake mammon's face turned blue and rolled his eyes in that comedic way even though they can't be seen.
"Freak you Lussuria. Anyway I'm not going with you for the rest of today. I just remembered I had something on and will be away for the rest of the day..."
"mammon-chan~ nooooo~ you can't leave me to shop alone like this~ "
Fake Mammon gave the emotionless face.
"Sorry, Lussuria. Gotta go." fake mammon said, turned and walked away.
Torikabuto removed the disguise as mammon once he was out of lussuria's sight. He then proceeded to an abandoned building in a deserted area some distance away, where they had agreed to meet.
Torikabuto climbed up the stairs that led to the second storey without making a sound. Dust covered the entire place and there was a stench of old and rotting wood. He opened a door that led to a room. It looked cleaner compared to the rest of the building. There were some simple furniture inside, and he saw him sitting on the sofa. He was Rasiel. The man who was raised from the dead. Torikabuto had no idea why byakuran had revived that weak, useless corpse and even agreed to help him achieve his long-awaited victory. Kikyo seemed to know more about it, but currently torikabuto just knew that it was byakuran sama's orders, and he was hundred percent willing to serve byakuran.
Kikyo was standing at one side with his arms crossed. Mammon, still unconscious, was lying on the floor, looking really pathetic.
"Oho. You're really fast, torikabuto." kikyo said.
"...enough with the sarcasm" torikabuto grumbled.
"Ushehehehe... Things are gonna get exciting soon enough. She's waking up."
A few seconds after Rasiel had said that, mammon's unconscious figure started to twitch a little and she started to whimper. Mammon bit her teeth together as she struggled to overcome the dizziness and to realise the situation she was in.
First, mammon saw Rasiel sitting on the sofa like a boss, or like a prince, with his trademark smile that was even wider than Bel's. Then she saw kikyo, and torikabuto. It was then she realised that they were working together. These guests that have come to the Varia territory has got something to hide.
"you two...!" mammon hissed at kikyo and torikabuto.
"oho. Don't blame us. We are loyal to byakuran sama, and only byakuran sama." kikyo announced.
"What the hell did byakuran ask you guys to do!? Why are you working with this Rasiel!? What does your team intend to achieve?" mammon demanded for an explanation.
"Oi Oi Oi... Don't leave me out of the conversation, you wimpy peasants. The prince has got a job for you." Rasiel started talking.
"Shut up, Rasiel. Why did you bother looking for me? I would never do whatever job you have. I only work for money." mammon said.
"ushesheshe... Don't you realise the situation you're in? I'll break your neck like a toothpick." Rasiel mocked.
"Oho. No, Rasiel. Actually you can't. It's only the third day since you've been resurrected by byakuran sama. You're too weak to fight. In fact, you're not even strong enough to defend yourself. Don't forget, thats why we are here." kikyo said and added in a little bit of laughter, which mocked Rasiel.
Rasiel's grin vanished.
"shut up, kikyo. I am a prince, the magnificent prince that will never be defeated. You peasant ca-" before Rasiel could finish, kikyo "tch"-ed.
"You prince are merely a weak fake funeral wreath who failed to do your duty for byakuran in the future. You lost to Varia, prince. You lost. While us 'peasants', the real funeral wreaths, worked hard for byakuran and stayed loyal throughout, unlike you."
Rasiel got really pissed. He growled and punched the seat beside him with a clenched fist.
The tense and uneasy atmosphere remained. Mammon wondered about the secret that Rasiel seemed to keep. The doom that Rasiel wanted to bring to Varia. And the role that mammon played in it.

"Ushishishi... Varia is undefeatable. Keep that in mind, peasant. We are strong." bel said.
Nellie tilted her head a little to try to see Bel's expression.
"Well, I was just asking. I mean what of some really strong enemies wanted to take down Vaira.. What if they're too strong, stronger than us?" Nellie asked again.
"How many times do I have to tell you that Varia is an elite assassination squad, and we take down anyone who stands in our way. No one takes us down."
"Okay, fine, if you insist. I'm hungry. Can we go eat now? I bet lussuria's got the lunch ready by now."
"ushishi..." bel said and pointed a knife at nellie's neck.
"w-what did I say now?"
"nothing. Let's go." bel poked her arm once instead and stood up.
Nellie followed behind as they walked towards the dining hall.
If only this would last forever.
Please don't kill me ._. I know my English fail. Woohoo anyone missed me? Haha joking. Thanks.
