Fran had promised to help her leave for an hour and Ciel was way too excited about it. Xanxus and Squalo would be on a mission so there would be no one to stop her from seeing the silver haired boy. She had developed an infatuation toward him and it was obvious to both Bel and Fran. Fran decided that he would take advantage of that favor later and hopefully Ciel would have no other choice but to submit.
The girl spent many hours in her room but she was not preparing or anything…She just wore the same outfit that she had on when she first saw him. Now she was pacing around in front of her bed occasionally rolling on it, or summoning the snow fox in and out of the box. She was trying to avoid looking at the clock because time passed slowly…
Meanwhile Fran was sitting on the couch watching TV or rather zapping , seemingly bored. That was until a certain golden haired prince decided to walk in the room and grab the remote from his hand in a rather rude manner.
"Why did you do that, Bel-sempai?" Fran asked still looking at the TV.
"Ushishishishi…I need you to do something for me…" Bel said.
"It depends on what it is." Fran said as Bel sat on the couch pushing the frog's back with his boots.
"I want you to pretend that you are putting up that illusion." Bel said grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"What are you talking about sempai?" Fran asked standing up.
"Ushishishi…You feign ignorance frog." Bel said as he grabbed poor Fran from the collar of his shirt rocking him back and forth a little.
"Stop it sempai." Fran protested as he vanished from Bel's hands and appeared next to the doorway.
"What do I have to gain from this?" Fran asked.
"Ushishishishi…I'll buy you another frog hat?" Bel asked mockingly.
"Nice try but I think Ciel-sempai will have something more interesting for me." Fran said as he moved toward the exit.
"Che…You ungrateful brat! What do you want?" Bel asked a vein popping on his forehead.
"Oh…I don't know…I might want something you can't find…" Fran said pretending to be skeptical.
"I can get you everything you want…Do you know who I am?" Bel asked.
"Sure sempai…But be sure to do it when I ask or else…" Fran said.
"Just do it ,you useless kohai!" Bel ordered.
"Oh, don't order me…" Fran said.
"Ushishishishi…Let's see who has the upper hand now…"Bel thought as he walked out of the room with his hands in his pockets whereas Fran re-adjusted his hat.
"They are both idiots…" Fran murmured before dusting himself off.
Now Bel would follow her and when she would be alone he would interrogate her without having anyone interrupt them. Then maybe Belphegor would feel satisfied feeling her anxiousness , seeing her trembling or even hear her protests. These were fine as long as she suffered a little. That frog had better be saying the truth or else the prince would make sure to turn him into a lucky charm and sell him to the black market.
Bel grinned as he caught a glimpse of Ciel walking impatiently in her room. What face would she make when she would see him there? He would just have to find out about that.
Ciel liked thinking about Gokudera's reaction but what if he already had a girlfriend? She would be disappointed but for some reason the thought didn't bug her.
"Well that must be because I am only thinking about it…If I were to meet that girl I would be jealous…right?" Ciel asked herself.
This was a moment of uneasiness. Was Ciel really interested in Gokudera? Of course, that was what she would say. She felt a burning desire for someone, a new flame was warming up her heart but was it because of him? She didn't like the fact that she had bothered to analyze that simple feeling. Perfect, now she had doubts. Then again this was the perfect chance for her to find out. She wouldn't give up just yet.
When the female Varia member heard the clock from down the stairs she knew that it was time for her to pay a visit to Gokudera. She put on her black coat and headed down the stairs leaving the door to her room slightly open. She then went into Fran's room.
"Fran…" Ciel whispered walking in.
"Oh…Is that time already?" Fran didn't seem that eager but Ciel knew he would do what he had promised to.
"Well yeah…" Ciel said as she laced her fingers.
"You can go and I will create the illusion…It won't take long." Fran said.
"Oh…okay…Do you think that Bel could have heard something?"
"No. I was very careful." The teal-haired boy replied standing up.
"I trust you." Ciel said before waving goodbye at Fran that suddenly realized how wrong he had been to let Belphegor know about this. Those two would probably meet and when they did a huge fight would occur and they would probably create a mess and never leave him alone for the rest of his life in that so crowded pond he was living in.
While those thoughts were on Fran's mind , Belphegor was getting ready to follow Ciel. He got as many knives as he could before getting a pair of handcuffs with him. He remembered that he had to feel so excited since he had killed his twin brother. Setting up the trap was the good part but seeing the victim's face was even better. That night Bel's target would be trapped in the spider web.
It was already dark outside and Ciel found that really convenient since no one would see her. There were a few Varia members outside but she knew how to make her footsteps almost inaudible. Like a weasel she moved in the dark with caution . It was not really a Varia-like way but it suited her cause.
Without her knowing, Bel saw her from a dark spot in the small forest. He watched as Ciel called a taxi several meters away from Varia's HQ. He decided that he would follow but not in the way peasants did. Oh no…He would get the driver of the black limousine because driving his sports car would just be too obvious. The hunt started and it was pretty intriguing to say the least.
The girl walked carefully toward the place that she had spotted Gokudera last time…It was a football field but it seemed to be abandoned. During the day it was a normal field but during the night members of many different families gathered there. Needless to say that they didn't look normal like the Vongola guardians did. They would wear peculiar clothes or masks. Usually their clothes would have the family's emblem on them. Ciel stepped in the large space walking on the grass that was not green anymore. She spotted three boys sitting on the bleachers and probably talking. She stopped for a moment before fixing her hair and walking toward them unsure of what to say. Okay, so the one with the short silver hair was unknown to her the same as the one with the short brown hair that formed spikes. However between them was none other than Gokudera. He seemed to yell at the taller boy with the short hair…something about a boss and respect… Ciel stepped two meters away from them as the two other boys realized she was there. Gokudera was facing the other way and so he didn't see her.
"Hi, Gokudera-kun." Ciel said as Gokudera turned around fully facing the girl.
"Che, what are you doing here, woman?" Gokudera asked as Tsuna smiled at her.
"Why don't you introduce us, Gokudera?" Tsuna asked.
"Oi tako head! That's rude to the extreme!" Ryohei said pushing Gokudera out of the way.
"Hi!" Ryohei greeted Ciel.
"Um…I am…basically here for a serious reason…Maybe we should find another place for that conversation…" The three boys looked at each other exchanging looks of curiosity. Gokudera was the one to speak first.
"Judaime…We better head back to the Vongola HQ , the introductions can wait, don't you think?" He asked eyeing Ciel.
"Yes, I believe that it will be better…" Tsuna agreed.
"Then let's go back!" Ryohei said.
"Alright…." Ciel replied. Before following them she looked around making sure no one was there. For some reason she felt quite uneasy like she was being watched from a hidden spot. When they would enter the HQ she wouldn't have to worry but until then she would have to keep an eye on her surroundings.
"Faster Sawada!"
From beneath the trees a shadow appeared as the figure of the person was illuminated by the moonlight. He fixed his coat before stepping on the path to the Vongola mansion.
"Ushishishishi. You are better than I expected." That person was Belphegor that was following Ciel. If he managed to get proof that the brat was planning something with Tsuna behind Xanxus's back then he would be able to do what he wanted with her. She would beg for mercy , her pleas would be a melody to Bel's ears. So he had some hidden cards under his sleeve too and he would not be afraid to use them any time soon. How would Xanxus react if he learned about the betrayal? Now that was one thing Belphegor didn't want to know.
Prince the ripper was walking soundlessly as if he was a cat, so light and flexible. He knew that the snow manipulator would turn to look back every few seconds just to make sure they were alone.
"Are you worried about something?" Tsunayoshi asked Ciel as he noticed her movements.
"No, I just want to enter the mansion as soon as possible. Who knows whether or not there is someone around here." Ciel replied.
"I understand." Tsuna said.
"Vongola Decimo…You are so kind." Ciel thought. Gokudera seema like the type to follow such persons.
After a couple of minutes the four of them were outside of a big mansion which Ciel assumed was the Vongola HQ. As they walked in Ciel saw two girls waiting in one of the large living rooms. They were sitting on the couch talking to each other when they heard the door closing behind them. They stood up approaching the boys and Ciel.
"Tsuna-kun, you're back." A girl with long red hair greeted Tsuna smiling.
"Where have you three been?" The other asked and it was another girl that had short brown hair. "Gokudera you promised to help me!" She added pouting. How was that woman connected to the boy?
"Oh? Who is that?" The brunette asked when she realized that the three of them were not the only ones that had arrived.
"I am-"
"She is a member of the Varia and apparently she has a message for the boss." Gokudera said seriously.
"Hahii…I hope it is not something bad." The girl said.
"Che…we don't know yet, woman and stop annoying the boss!" Gokudera said. He really seemed very dedicated to Tsuna.
"In that case Haru and I will be at the balcony, ne Tsuna-kun?" The red-haired girl asked smiling sweetly. Ciel had tried to smile like that too but as many times as she tried she found that smiling like that was just not for her. Now she just formed a line with her lips that turned slightly upwards and that was a smile. She saw how they interacted with each other and compared to the Varia they could be consider more…normal. Of course being in the mafia world since high Scholl was not an everyday situation but they were more like a team. She realized that the bonds between them were different. Their leader wanted them to be always there by his side. He actually acknowledged them as friends, something that her boss would never do. She remembered how everyone in the Varia talked about Tsunayoshi and his weaklings but now she figured out that Tsuna was strong because of the support he received from his friends . Xanxus was more of an independent guy as were most of the Varia members. They were just so arrogant and…crazy. That was what Ciel would say.
The meeting went smoothly aside from the fact that the mist and the cloud guardians didn't attend. Later on Ciel waited outside of the mansion for a cub to take her back to the Varia HQ that were not so close. Approximately 34 kilometers away from her current location. The night was really dark and due to the fact that the building was on a hill away from the nearest city there were not many lights to illuminate the road that seemed to disappear in the dark from one point. Suddenly she heard a noise as the door opened to reveal Gokudera. She looked at him for a moment before averting her gaze.
"The boss is busy and he won't be able to wait with you here. He asked me instead to do it." Gokudera stated as he walked in front of her.
"You make it sound like a chore, Gokudera-kun." Ciel said as her head was slightly bent down.
"You should be grateful that he heard what you had to say…I wouldn't trust the Varia." Gokudera glared at her.
"Well I would like to change your mind but you don't seem to understand that we are assassins." Ciel said.
"I know you so damn well, woman…" Tsuna's right-hand man insisted.
"No, you don't." Ciel replied with confidence.
"Oi, who do you think prevented Xanxus from becoming a dictator?"
"Don't compare the past to the future, Gokudera-kun." Ciel said.
"Don't address me like we are friends."
"Ushishishishishi. Well, I found two in the prize of one." Both of them turned around towards the sound of the infamous laugh. Oh no…How come Ciel didn't realize that that weasel was following her? She should have expected it from him he was a very skilled killer. Didn't he have anything better to do than appear out of nowhere?
"What's the meaning of this, woman?" Gokudera asked as he sent a death glare to Belphegor that was now only a meter away from them.
"I-"
"A traitor's blood smells like a dog's…shishishishi." Bel laughed as he approached.
"Knife bastard." Gokudera moved in front of Ciel trying to figure out what the prince was going to do now.
"Be glad that I didn't come for you. I came for the cub over there." Bel pointed at Ciel as he talked.
"What do you mean?"
"Ushishishishi! Don't you think that finding a Varia member talking with the Vongola brats in the middle of the night, is a little bit suspicious? You were caught like a mouse in a trap….I wonder what the punishment will be when boss finds out." Bel smirked .
"You don't even know what's going on so just beat it." Ciel said as Gokudera growled obviously irritated.
"Shishishi…Care to explain then? It doesn't mean that I will believe you but you can try, peasant."
"The boss had a message for Sawada Tsunayoshi and he told me to come here and inform him." Ciel replied crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Nice excuse but for some reason I don't believe you." Belphegor said as a knife went past Ciel's forearm tearing her sleeve. Ciel backed off immediately.
"You two can take it out elsewhere. This is the boss's territory!" Gokudera yelled.
"Ushishishi…No one talked to you, copycat!" Belphegor grinned a she grabbed Ciel by her sleeve forcing her to follow him until they were several meters away from the mansion. Belphegor yanked her forcefully toward him , storm flames engulfing his knives.
"You know it is funny that you didn't think that I could have lied to Fran too…" Ciel said in a confident manner.
"Call him! Now!" Bel ordered as he threw her on the ground pointing ten sharp knives at her. He was such an idiot!
"Fine you twit I will give him a full report!" Ciel said as she pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number.
"Whoever you are make it quick!" That was Squalo's voice that could be heard even if Ciel had her ear on the phone.
"Ushishishishi! Continue…" Bel laughed looking down at her.
"Captain, it's Ciel…I finished with the report and I am going back to the base." Ciel informed him.
"VOOOOOOI! And where is the damn problem?" Squalo barked.
"Why did you send Bel without informing me?" Ciel asked.
"Ushishishi…What the hell are you saying?" Bel asked as he threw a knife successfully cutting Ciel's wrist which resulted in her throwing the phone on the ground.
"Are you…Are you there brat!" Squalo shouted as Ciel glared at Bel with her mouth slightly open. What was he trying to do? Ciel watched as Bel smashed the phone with his foot.
"No way you did that!" She shouted as she stood up dusting herself off. The girl approached the broken device examining the damage. Yes, she would have to ask for a new one.
"Shut up cub! Now follow if you don't want to be left behind, ushishishishi, and who knows where you'll end up." Belphegor smirked before turning his back on her and walking towards the other direction. Ciel had no other choice than to follow Belphegor, the senior Varia member.
"Wait until we get back Bel!" Ciel threatened as she looked back to where the mansion was.
"Why what will you do?" Bel asked obviously amused.
"I don't know, perhaps something that will make you cry." Ciel replied.
"Ushishishishi…I am so excited!" Bel mocked her.
"You think freezing is exciting? You can lose a limp and then I want to see you trying to throw your pathetic knives!" The girl was not happy…Bel felt kind of out smarted now that he had figured that the girl was indeed on a mission but he wouldn't admit it. Why did that brat Fran lied to him in the first place? He would deal with it later. It is all because of that kohai and his stupid games! Fran had deceived Bel once again and this time he would pay. But how did Ciel worked this plan out all by herself? That damn girl was a real devil when she wanted to succeed and this time she had officially succeeded in irritating Belphegor to a great extent. He would not show it though. After all princes do not care about such trivial things…
"You're all talk and no game at all, cub. Ushishishishi." Bel laughed knowing that Ciel would not do something like that. She was rookie and Bel was one of the most feared members of the Varia. Pity… Without Bel knowing it Ciel was smirking as she walked silently behind him seemingly afraid. Everyone had a dark side and Ciel's was terrifying when it came to the surface. Belphegor had to try hard in order to learn how to handle her but there was always the other way too which meant…
Knifes and wires….
