"Hot topic if its not to much trouble" I had a friend who worked there and id love to see how she was. Squalo drove this time, since Bel was no where to be seen. We it to the mall fairly quickly, no one said a word the whole ways which was rather scary. I lead them to hot topic finally smiling. The shop itself was virtually all black and purple the racks were full of various disturbing little figures that were oh so adorable and the clothes hung up in the racks set randomly throw out the shop. Band tees hanging on the walls and the cashier place dead center to watch everyone.

Lussuria looked scared he didn't wanna go in but he had to help sick out clothes for me. Squalo went off on his own looking at stuff. An employee came and took one look at me before pouncing on me. I giggled like a mad fan girl who had just found there ideal.

"Azumi!!!" she cried hugging me to death. "I've been so worried!!! Kenny told me what happened to you I'm so glad you got away!" her attention turned to Lussuria who was standing behind you smiling coolly throw his shades. "Who's your friend?"

"This is Lussuria one of my captors. He brought me here to get clothes" I smiled explaining it to her "and Squalo's somewhere around here" I glanced around looking for him but didn't see him anywhere.

"You mean the girlie man that's looking at pink tank tops over there?" she pointed him, who was in fact looking at pink tank tops. I burst out laughing seeing that. Him of all people shopping for a tank top was just priceless. How I missed Rin and her little jokes.

"That would he him." we both laughed even Lussuria did a little. Squalo came over to use with a evil glare.

"What are you laughing at trash?!" he growled referring to me. I just smiled sweetly at him before turning my attention to Rin who looks angry.

"Hello miss may I help you find the right size?" Rin asked acting like a model employee. Squalo lost it fast. He pulled out his sword directing it towards her. "Awe look how long it his sword is! Its a penis substitute ya know!" Rin yelled for the whole store to hear. I burst out laughing again. I was sure asking for it. Squalo growled storming out me the store knowing he couldn't do anything to her. "Awe did I make the poor lil girl cry?" Squalo glared once more before vanishing out of the building.

"Rin your so mean!" i joked hugging her again. That's when i noticed Lussuria running around the store grabbing clothes for me to try. He came up and pushed me into the changing room. I tried some on seeing what he was making me try was shocking. All seemed to be skimpy things! But what could i do he was the one paying. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.....yeah right a house full of men and Me in clothes that barely covered anything yeah it was gonna be troublesome. I came out sighing. "they all fit..."i said looking down away from the two that were chatting it up. Lussuria smiled huge pulling out some cash.

"Thank you" Rin said grabbing the money from him. He nodded smiling at me as Rin packed all the stuff up in a bag for us. "There ya go Azumi" she laughed a little seeing what I was getting "What got a special man to show off your body too?" my smile faded and I looked away sad. ~ yeah a real special one~ I said sarcastically to myself in my head.

"How would you like to come with us?" Lussuria said. My eyes nearly shot out of my head. What was he asking her that for?

"Do I really get a choice?" she asked knowing he was gonna take her with wither she liked it or not. Poor Rin I didn't mean to get her involved in all this. My frown seemed to be plastered on my face. "don't worry Azumi I was getting bored with the same routine anyways" that didn't help none. I knew she loved her job here at the store. I was her dream job after all! Now I ruined it…. Lussuria smiled gesturing for the door. She smiled nodding as she grabbed her stuff and a few out fits. What'd it matter now she was gonna be fired for not showing up anyways. "Lets go Azumi!" she called running out the door.

I fallowed…slowly but I fallowed. We all headed back to the mansion. Rin the whole way kept harassing Squalo about his hair being so long it look like he was a girl. Funny really if it weren't for the fact he'd probably kill her later on. Rin was oblivious to the fact that she was in a car with two criminals. I just tried to act like i wasn't upset but i wasn't to convincing. As we pulled up to the mansion we were greeted by a smiling Bel and mammon who were on the balcony talking. Bel waved leaving coming down and meeting up at the door.

"Did you pick out good clothes like I asked?" Bel asked directing it towards Lussuria. He nodded winking. That's when Bel noticed Rin who was still harassing Squalo. "who's that?"

"Rin be my name cutie and who might you be?" Rin said offering her hand to him. I wanted to slap her hand and slap her but I didn't. Rin didn't know i liked him so I couldn't be mad. Bel just looked at er hand than back to me.

"Why is she here?" he asked me but i pointed to Lussuria who smiled sheepishly.

"Azumi was so happy at the store seeing her I thought why not bring her back to keep her happy" Lussuria explained it, made sense I suppose. Bel actually frowned turning away from them. He placed a arm around my shoulder and lead me away.

"You take care of her than" he said waving as he walked away. I gulped Bel was leading me back to his room I think. That couldn't be good. Rin smirked watching as they walked together Bel leading Me away. She know instantly why i had gotten all the sexy clothes. she turned to Lussuria smiling big.

"Which way did girlie boy go?" she asked smiling all the while. Her new favorite hobby. Lussuria smiled pointing to the left. Rin instantly took off going to find Squalo.

Bel lead me back to his room where he sat me on his bed and just stared with a huge smile. I couldn't look him in the eyes knowing I was beginning to fall for him. All he did was smile huge not saying anything for a good hour or so only a knock on his door brought us both back into reality.

"Azumi!" Rin's voice called throw the door. Instantly I got to my feet to open it but Bel stopped me mid way pushing me back to his bed going to the door. Opening it both our eyes rested on Rin and Lussuria both standing with huge smiles. "come on I gotta show you something!" she pushed right past Bel not even giving him a second glance before grabbing my wrist and pulling me to my feet running out the door. On reflex or instinct Bel instantly grabbed my other hand looking at Rin with a frown.

"No one cuts into a prince's time" Bel's voice was more dark, more evil. Rin looked at him to me uncertain with what to do, reluctantly she let me wrist go, Bel polling me into his arms. He did his usual ushishishi laugh as he pulled me back into his room. Rin stared at us both confused as Bel closed his door in there faces.

"You acting weird Bel" I said looking away from him still. He laughed again before taking a seat next to me. I felt the atmosphere better us darken, more serious like. In one swift movement he pulled me into his chest.

"Princess I have to tell you something" he started, his voice full of sadness make me feel sick. I didn't say anything just waited for him to continue "I'm gonna be leaving you soon" my hear sank "its time I do my purpose in the Varia." that confused me a bit wasn't he already doing his job? "I'm gonna be in a fight soon ushishishi" that didn't surprise me much there "but your prince WILL win and WILL be expecting you to be watching ushishishi" I pulled away from him so I could look to see if he was just messing with me but he wasn't, there was a frown plastered on his face, even if he had laughed it was half hearted.
