Ahaha xD;; sorry for not updating this for a while now.

I could say I've been busy with coursework and ill and stuff but tbh it has more to do with the fact I'm really really lazy…

I actually finished this chapter last week and just kept forgetting to post it ;-;

You guys could expect this a few times in the future. I will try to updates as often as possible though ^^

As usual thank you to my lovely beta YunaAbyss and all the people who read and review the chapters :')

They set off the next morning at dawn. Well, it wasn't actually dawn since neither of them would be bothered waking up at dawn, but that's what Bel called it. It sounded cooler that way, he said. Fran looked at the tramp-ish look the other now sported and sighed. How did he still retain that regal look even in a ripped and stained shirt with pants that were so worn you could see…

No, stop it Fran – he told himself. The clothes were old and full of holes, probably made from material neither had even heard of before – let alone a prince like Belphegor letting touch his 'perfect, royal skin'. He looked down at himself and realized his own look was no better – probably worse in fact since Fran did not have the Prince's prideful look about him, he looked more like a dirty, green possum.

"… Now those clothes suit you much better."

"Oh, shut up" He glared, daring the prince to call him 'peasant' right now. "You can hardly talk!"

"A prince is a prince no matter what he wears, silly Frog." The blond answered simply and Fran almost fell flat on the floor from the comment. He decided against it; his giant amphibious hat not there to protect his head from the fall and all. Bel had also removed his prize 'crown' and threatened the manager of the hotel so he ensured its safety. He looked so weird without it. They were only dressed this way for the mission of course. It involved going to a pretty dangerous side of town and; although Bel had reveled in the thought of fighting off any thugs that came there way Fran had been against it.

"But Froggy! We only have one target and it doesn't even say we get to kill him!"

"I know but you can't start random fights with people in the streets."

"Whyyy? Squalo does it all the time!"

"… Well because you'd be letting dirty, unworthy people touch you of course."

".. Oh...ew.. Fine, Let us find poor-people clothes…"

He groaned at the memory and looked over at the secret prince, who was now trying his best to act 'poor' by reciting lines from Oliver Twist – the Musical version of course. The Frog just hoped he wasn't about to burst into song any time soon; he had the worst cockney London accent ever.

Bel on the other hand was having a great time. Skipping through the streets dressed as a poor person, in poor person clothes with poor person hair. He never thought he'd have so much fun. Of course it didn't help that he got to see Fran dressed up too and looking incredibly unhappy about the situation. The prince couldn't help but think the Frog reminded him a little bit of Cinderella, the old fairy-tale; and Disney film. A pretty girl forced to work for others and dress in rags. Wait, did he just call Fran pretty? Maybe those peasant clothes really were lowering his standards. Ew..

They eventually came to a small building, looking slightly derelict and abandoned. The roof was caving in, the windows smashed and the door hung at an angel off its hinges.

"Remind you of Kokuyo?~" He smirked.

"Not funny."

Bel knew full well Fran still considered the old Kokuyo building more of a home than the Varia base. He could sense the Frog's unease at the HQ – whenever he stepped into another room there was always that fear of getting screamed at, shot at or violently fussed over by a very dramatic gay man. He liked to think the other would soon get used to it and start to relax, maybe then he'd let his guard down and Bel would finally get a reaction from him whenever he was stabbed. They went inside and coughed as the clogged up aroma of the dirt, dust and damp attacked.

"Ughh.. it smells like Levi's armpits!" The prince giggled at that. The Frog was always spot on when it came to his insults (unless they were directed at him obviously).

"Why are we here again, Froggy?" He gargled through the falling soot.

"Boss said we need to find the guy on the picture earlier and use the secret Varia code."

"Ah"

They began searching for the man but had no luck. There was a small passage leading to another room. As the two of them looked around the floor gave way beneath them and a large hole opened up. Fran fell down and a very monotone 'ow' was heard as he landed. Bel had jumped out of the way just in time and laughed.

"Ushishishi, need to be a bit quicker than that Frog." Stupid Frog, why'd he have to go and do that?

Fran looked up through the hole and groaned. He pressed a hand down on his ankle, which had been twisted into a funny position, and winced.

"I think my ankle's broken."

He heard the other put on a sarcastic sigh before he jumped down to join him.

"What's you do that for Fake prince?! What if neither of us can go get help now?!"

"Ushishishi, Live in the moment Froggy~ besides, there's a door over there."

"I knew that! I was saying 'what if'." Fran promptly glared at the prince and crossed his arms.

Just at that moment he felt something smash into the side of his head and he fell to the floor. Bel was on it straight away and three knives into the attacker. He heard a gutting sound and a body fell to the floor – only for two more to appear. The fight went on for a while, Bel stabbing as many as possible but soon more and more appeared. Fran was woozy from the surprise attack and the blood loss from falling. His illusions began to fail him and he dropped to the floor, trying his best to remain in his emotionless state and not show any clear sign of pain.

The prince looked over at the frog surprised – he'd never seen Fran fail in a fight before. But, then again… own knives were beginning to wear thin and he knew an illusionist's power comes from their mind. Fran had suffered a blow to the head earlier. He knew it was a bit pointless trying to analyse the situation then and there. He needed to focus on getting them out. There was an exit just across the room but he had no idea where all these people were coming from. They weren't coming in from the exit – an ambush maybe?

He groaned and looked around and found a few objects to act as targets, throwing knives in all directions. There was a ripping sound and then falling. He heard blood dripping to the floor and began laughing insanely as he threw more and more knives into the directions the sounds were coming from. He ran out soon though. But it was already too late for the attackers. The two assassins were surrounded by a barricade of wires – invisible wires. He sensed a few trying to close in and failing. Bel had no idea how many of them he killed but he was pretty sure the attackers didn't know those were the last of his weapons. He was also sure they wanted to remain anonymous – judging by their chosen place to target the two Varia. Of course, no allies of the Vongola would ever work in a place as shabby as this. It was obviously a trap. He knew that earlier, but he wanted to know who. Unfortunately their enemies ran away and Bel never found out – not yet anyway. He went back over to the frog and knelt down next to him.

Fran was barely conscious. They'd been there for what felt like forever and he only lost more and more blood. He could feel the prince next to him and sighed – Bel wouldn't be able to control himself, he'd feel the clean slice of a knife against his throat soon enough. But instead he felt two strong arms lift him up and carry him outside. The teal-haired boy wasn't sure what he felt in that moment – dizziness? Nausea? Maybe a little bit of gratefulness to Bel for not killing him, and for saving him? Yeah. He decided that was what he felt and slowly closed his eyes and fell in to a deep sleep.

Soo.. That chapter may have not been all that great Sorry for the really shitty fighting scene I'm not good at writing action..

It was also really short because I don't have much motivation right now ;-;

gaah Sorry guys! I hope you're still looking forward to the next chapter after this one though xD;; (I'll try to write it sometime this week, I can usually find time at college)

Please review ^^
