CHAPTER NINE – YOU DID WHAT NOW?

Ryohei had been the first one to pull her into a bone crushing hug after the group had gotten over the initial shock of her return. She couldn't stop smiling and then her gaze landed on Gokudera.

"GO-CHAN I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" she squealed, giggling at how flushed he was before she hugged him. She wondered if he would push her away or scold her, but what he did shocked everyone in the study including Inari. He simply pulled her closer and sighed in relief. He was glad to have her back where he knew she would be safe.

That was when Reborn motioned for her to follow him. Prying herself from the bombers hug she smiled at his flustered cheek and walked over to where the baby stood with a look in his eyes that was demanding an explanation from her. She smirked sheepishly as she sat down with her back facing the rest of the occupants of the room.

"So did you find anything out?" Reborn cut straight to the chase.

"No." she replied simply knowing that he didn't want to hear an excuse, well not just yet.

"Care to explain then since you were well aware of the conditions of your mission Inari."

She sighed. 'Trust Reborn to be so full of shit and make an issue out of my return, he really hates when his plans get changed.' "Well I ran into some complications even though I was well aware of the terms and conditions of the mission I had to abort it Reborn."

"And what exactly were those complications Inari? Where they really of such a nature which left you with no other options but to abandon your mission and return home without the information I needed?"

'Cynical little bastard.' She thought as she eyed the baby. By now she was well aware that all the other members in the room could hear what was been said. "Actually as a matter of fact yes it was of such a nature Reborn. I do not take likely to having a man shove his tongue down my throat and touch me inappropriately without my consent." She ground out as she glared at the baby.

Back at the Varia Squalo was running around avoiding the constant assault of knives and flying glasses until they finally managed to get him cornered in Xanxus's study. "VOOIII WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS GOING ON HERE, WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE YOU ALL OUT TO KILL ME?!" He yelled swinging his sword around in a threatening manner.

Lussaria was the first one to speak. "Please explain this letter then Squalo." The usually 'charming' tempered guardian growled visibly upset by the contents on the piece of paper as the man in question snatched it and started reading it.

They watched as his eye twitched. "WHAT THE FUCK! WHY DOES EVERYTHING INCLUDE ME BLEEDING TO DEATH OR BEEN KILLED?" he yelled again now visibly angry.

Then Xanxus spoke up. "OI TRASH now explain to me why my woman is gone, what exactly did you do to that woman that made her leave so fast? His crimson gaze darkened as he glared at the shark like he was nothing more than a mere insect.

They all watched as he swallowed uncomfortably under their glares.

"SO WHAT I PULLED A MOVE ON THE BITCH. FUCK IM A MAN I HAVE MY NEEDS and she was pissing me off been all perfect and never getting in your bad books, so I kissed her and tried to go a little further but she got free." He yelled out, his voice dropping lower as he continued to explain his actions to his fellow members. He could feel the killing intent radiating off Xanxus and turned to try and run only to find himself been the target of his bosses flame as the man snapped and all hell broke loose in the study.

"YOU STUPID PIECE OF TRASH!" their boss bellowed visibly beyond seething with the shark.

Lussaria couldn't help his jaw gaping at the news of what Squalo had tried to do and in turn the man grabbed the shark by his hair and pulled him roughly before glaring at the cussing shark. "You did what now!" he demanded just as pissed as Xanxus was.
