NOTE!:: This is a PREVIEW. Not the Full Chapter! I lost 2/3 of what I had when I typed this up and never did manage to recover it, so when it's re-written it will be re-written entirely when I finally post stuff anyways... So here you go. Part of what would have happened when I finally got out of Hiatus... Eventually... *sigh* Anyways, have this, and please be patient until I figure things out! K, Thanks, Bye!

Stuck In The KHR! World Chapter 10 Preview:
10. The First Day's Always The Hardest! Mika's Mistake?
The Next Morning, Mika woke to an oddly -and suspiciously- quiet air.
"..." She blinked her eyes sleepily, covering a yawn, as she slipped out of bed -really, it was rather odd. One would have expected Xanxus and Squalo up and being loud -or someone yelling- but this quiet...
Even if it was early in the morning... it was, really, rather unsettling (not to mention disturbing considering who it was she was around nowadays) -but she soon found out why, when she reached the hall.
"Ara~? Mika-chan~~ You're already up~? My, that's too bad~! And here I wanted to wake you myself~" Luss pouted.
"Er... Luss...san...?" she twitched a bit at the 'decor' of the room.
"Hai~~ Mika-chan~?" He beamed in that bright, motherly as he was wont to.
"Erhm..." She had to blink for a moment to clear her vision of the 'dazzling' smile before she could continue on. "Why is the room filled to the brim with party-decorations and... so much food...?"
Well, the food was kind of understandable, seeing as the Varia ate -a lot- but... this much food...? Really?
"Ah~ Well~ I thought... it'd be nice if..." Lussuria stalled a bit, twiddling his fingers almost nervously (or she would have thought if she didn't know the effeminate man so well -and if he weren't slightly pink from what seemed to be an almost embarrassed looking blush), "Well... if we had a celebration!" he finally blurted out, getting to the point. "Since this is your first day of school (well, with us, at least)...!" Luss started to sniff, very much like the virtuous 'mama' that he claimed to be...
Well, privately, anyways.
"Muu... let's just get it over with," Mammon covered a yawn, floating in rather sleepily, as Bel followed behind. He normally didn't get up at this ungodly hour -but hey, free food. As for Bel, he wouldn't miss the 'festivities' for the world -after all, it was a party, and everyone knew that the Prince liked a good party~ (Well, presuming it was 'Prince-worthy' of course...)
"Ushishishi~ A feast fit for a prince~~" he grinned, practically ignoring the 'shocked'-looking Mika as he walked past.
Though, she wasn't really shocked it was more...
Well, she just couldn't believe that Luss would do this just for her 'first day of school' here with them... she thought, chuckling a bit nervously as she sweat.
"Hmph, trash," Xanxus muttered, covered a yawn as a large scarred hand rested on her head for a few moments, "Well? What are you waiting for...!" he 'grouched', glaring (and rather mildly, considering this was Xanxus being talked about) at Mika as she stood there.
"Eh?"
"VOOOIIIII! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STANDING AROUND FOR? ! WE'RE ALL STARVING HERE!" exclaimed Squalo, coming (or rather, barging) in from another door, waving his prosthetic sword hand at Mika, as he brought in what was and looked to be -apparently- the last 'dish' for the so-called 'feast'.
"Eh..." she sweat slightly (really, she would've laughed if he didn't look quite so... well, threatening at that moment) -apparently Luss had (somehow) managed to get Squalo into a baby-blue apron, though it looked a little worse for wear...
She could bet -right now- that there had at been a scuffle at the very least, though little did she know, they had actually been preparing half the night into morning after she had gone to sleep for this 'silly' celebration.
She did have another hour or so before she was supposed to leave for 'school', but...
"Aha... I-I guess you're right..." she said, chuckling nervously, as she thought: Good thing I woke up so early...
