Scaltra was overjoyed when the group piled out of the car, Levi wouldn't shut up about how the boss left without him and Bel was determined to show her the difference between the different types of knives specifically how they feel, and if he didn't back off she was more than willing to show him how the different kinds of bullets in her pistol felt.

Squalo was glad she was generally distracted with Bel, it kept her from noticing his constant glances at the hem of her skirt when she crossed her legs, it was kind of like when they spared, she always wore those damn short shorts they were like a magnet to his eyes back when they were in school, back when they were together.

'Shit!' Squalo cursed at his fond little couple memories. 'No, tonight I'll be the one to wear that smug smirk and taunt in that fucking annoying tone.'

Once the group exited the limo they were met with a large ranch style mansion. It just screamed tranquility the circular drive dropped guests off at a large courtyard that was lit with hundreds of lanterns strung between the east and west wings. In the center of the courtyard and all the crowds was a fountain which head piece was a horse spewing water. To the right was a snack and drinks table along with the underpaid waiters constantly pestering guests with offers of food and drink. To the left was a band playing slow blues music.

"Pretty." Scaltra commented taking in the scene.

"Nah," Lussuria disagreed. "It's to old not lively enough, I mean where are the neons?"

Her laugh was cut off when someone clipped her shoulder from behind causing her to lose her balance for a moment in her four inch heels. She was about to yell at the perpetrator when she saw who it was; Squalo, but like that's ever stopped her from yelling before.

She opened her mouth to let out a cutting statement but the witty remark fell from her lips at the sight before her.

Before her was Squalo with a tan dark haired woman wrapped around him, sucking on his face. Scaltra briefly wondered if that's really what frenching looked like. That thought was completely over taken by the thought of 'What…the FUCK?'

After she pulled away she let out a little squeal of delight and said, "Oh Squa honey, I've missed you so much!"

"Same here babe," Squalo replied. He then said in the best whisper he could muster, which is a normal talking; "Later let's find somewhere more private sweetie."

She giggled and began gushing about how great of a boyfriend he was, but none of it registered in Scaltra's mind she could only think of one thing. 'No…no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! This isn't right! This can't be right!' Anger and envy overwhelmed her. She could think of a million clever remarks to say to the pair questioning her sexual decency and his taste in the class of women but none of them came due to the most unsettling issue of this whole ordeal; he never looked at her.

She knew this approach to getting someone (for she had used it and received it many times before) it doesn't matter who with or how for you go in front of your target, though the prettier and farther the better, but the key to the whole trick is the look. To give a superior look to the target after a display of affection. That is the only thing that distinguishes this from a normal act of love in a normal relationship.

'He didn't look,' she thought franticly 'It's real, no it can't be real, he's not that sweet, he never let me call him honey or called me sweetie. But maybe he never loved me-' a voice intruded into her thoughts.

"Scaltra dear, are you alright? You look a little pale." Lussuria said grabbing her shoulder.

"I'm fine," she lied coming out of her shock. "just a little dizzy, probably from the crowded car ride. I'm going to the restroom."

"Ok" Lussuria said with a hesitant look, once she was already walking off he looked over at Squalo and said to himself, "Squalo, you meanie."

"Where the hell are the damn bathrooms in this fucking place?" Scaltra complained wandering the empty halls of the Chiavarone mansion. Her train of thought was still running rampant as she stomped with even more force down the hall, whispering profanities under her breathe.

'Stupid tramp, damn fucking bastard I should wring his neck and then spread a rumor about how small his penis is, even though that's a big lie…wait…why do I care?' her pace slowed to a stop as the thought sunk in. Why did she care? Wasn't she over him?

Scaltra let out a curt laugh; 'Damn it,' she thought. 'could I still love that bastard?' She felt a single tear ran down herroll down her. She quickly raised her hand and struck her self hard in the stomach (she didn't want the bruise to show) and as usual the tears ceased. She refuses to cry she hasn't really cried since the ending of her dad's funeral.

"Um," a voice said behind her. "Are you alright?"
