Arc 06: Bard and Rapire Famiglia

Chapter 37 – Aftermath of Destroying Rapire Famiglia Part One

In the Ombra Famiglia's HQ which is also where Mukuro and his gang with Lavina were currently staying, all of them are in the living room of the second floor. Mukuro and Chrome were practicing casting their illusions, Kuro was looking over some information with Lancia, while Ken and Chikusa were having their usual batter and Lavina was watching the television.

Suddenly, Mukuro stopped casting his illusions and closed his eyes. Chrome stopped as well knowing that 'he' was talking to Mukuro. Then Mukuro nods and opened his eyes. He clapped loudly once to get everyone's attention.

"Everyone, we must get into our second identities immediately. Taka-san is coming with some people and he does not want them to know about our identities just yet, Lavina-san, please wait in your room patiently until this is over."

The rest of them nod and quickly went to change. Mukuro and Chrome made their weapons disappear, Kuro and Lancia kept all the information they were looking over into their respective places while Ken and Chikusa tidied up the living room. Lavina did as she was told by Mukuro and went into her room.

Next, they rushed into their respective rooms to change into their second identities that Molte has given them as the Ombra Famiglia's servants.

~ KHR ~

Mists surround the middle of the living room and five people appeared. Suddenly, three people had weapons pointed to them behind their backs. They got ready to retaliate, but one look from one of the two that did not have a weapon pointed to his back and they stopped.

The mists begin to clear away and all of them saw six people wearing black masks that have the symbol of the Ombra Famiglia on it. There were four males and two females. The two females are wearing maid uniforms while three of the males are wearing butler uniforms and the tallest male is wearing a driver's uniform.

Two of the butlers and the driver were pointing their weapons at the backs of Mei-Rin, Finnian and Snake with cold eyes while the last butler and two maids stood before them.

The butler in front of them went forward to Molte and bowed. "Welcome back Molte-sama, and welcome to Bard-san as well. It has been a while since you return."

Molte hummed while giving Spanner to Matsuhi. "Yes, it has been a while Matsuhi. Anyway, Aruta, Reitoni and Kumoru, please do not treat guests like that. Do not worry… they will not attack, but you can keep an eye on them."

Aruta, Reitoni and Kumoru nod while keeping their weapons, but still kept an eye on them like a hawk, making the three who they had pointed their weapons at their backs uneasy.

Matsuhi looked at Spanner on his hands. "What should I do with this child?"

Molte pushed away Spanner's hair from his eyes. "This child has been raped before by the Rapire Famiglia which I just completely destroyed by the orders of Vindice," and he heard people gasped. "Place him into Kumoru's room, and Kumoru will be in charge of taking care of him until I have time to talk with him or until he wakes up. Aruta, follow Matsuhi and heal the boy's wounds. After you both are done, come back here."

Matsuhi and Aruta bowed. "As you command Molte-sama."

Matsuhi then brought Spanner to Kumoru's room and Aruta healed him in the room. Meanwhile, Molte sat down on a seat and told Bard and his friends to seat down as well.

The almost identical maids went to prepare tea in the kitchen while the two only servants left, Reitoni and Kumoru stood beside Molte's seat on both sides.

Once they were all seated and the tea was served, everyone settled down a little.

Mei-Rin asked. "Where are we?"

Molte sipped his tea. "We are in the Ombra Famiglia's HQ, and I have brought all of you here for a reason."

Bard raised an eyebrow. "What reason?"

Molte hummed. "Maa~ we will have to wait for Matsuhi and Aruta to come back first."

~ Ten minutes later ~

Matsuhi and Aruta got out of Kumoru's room. Matsuhi then went to where Sumiko and Kamiko are while Aruta went to where Reitoni is.

Molte tilted his head. "Now that everyone is here, let us introduce ourselves to each other first. Even though we will be staying here just for a while, let us get along with each other~ ne?" with a sweet voice that if you do not obey what he says, he will make your life hell.

Everyone shivered at Molte's voice.

Matsuhi cleared his throat. "Molte-sama, please do not say things with that tune."

Molte twitched. "Matsuhi, since you want to lecture me on how I talk… you will start first."

Matsuhi slightly sighed and murmured. "Of course," and he bowed. "My name is Sakuya Matsuhi, the head butler for the Ombra Famiglia."

One of the identical maids on Matsuhi's right side bowed as well. "My name is Sakuya Sumiko, the younger sister of Suhi-nii-san."

The other identical maid on Matsuhi's left side went forward. "My name is Sakuya Kamiko, and I am Sumi's older twin."

Aruta, the one who was pointing his weapon at Finnian's back scowled while folding his hands. "The name is Karuga Aruta. Try anything at all to Molte-sama or Matsuhi-sama when you are guests here, and I will have your heads."

The butler who stood beside him and was the one who pointed his weapon at Snake's back hit Aruta's head. "My name is Ruwaka Reitoni, and I apologize for Aru's behaviour."

Aruta rubbed his head where Reitoni had hit him and glared at him. "That hurts, Rei!"

Reitoni dead-panned at him and rolled his eyes. "It was supposed to, Aru."

Molte chuckled slightly at their antics. 'They are really good at this… to think they were complaining when I had giving them their second identities at first...'

The driver sighed at their antics. "My name is Toriji Kumoru, personal driver of boss, Molte-sama and the other boss' assistants' only."

Molte smirked. "My name is Molte, a freelance hitman currently working for only Vongola Nono as a personal bodyguard as ordered by my boss. Bard and I have been friends ever since we first met each other and I have introduced him to my boss before."

Bard laughed at that. "The name is Bard, and I am the head chef for the Vongola Famiglia. Molte and I really have a unique friendship."

But then, nobody continued. Everyone who had introduced themselves turn to the three who did not. The three were nervous, but since Bard introduced himself so casually in front of the others, they swallowed their fear and introduced themselves.

Mei-Rin wears her glasses properly. "I am Mei-Rin, and I was forced to work as a sniper for the b*****s Rapire Famiglia because of two i***ts."

Mei-Rin glared at them while Finnian and Snake laughed nervously at that.

Finnian grinned stupidly. "Hello, everyone! My name is Finnian, but you can call me Finny. I once worked as a gardener."

Snake decides to left up a snake from his shoulder. "My name is Snake and I once worked as a footman, says Oscar."

Matsuhi stepped forward to take a closer look at the snake Snake was holding. "Ho~ you have interesting snakes, Snake."

Snake nods and puts down the snake he was holding. "Thank you, says Oscar."

Matsuhi bowed. "Of course," and he went back to his previous position.

Finnian took the opportunity and bounced. "Ne~ ne~ why are all of you wearing black masks?"

"Because boss ordered us to do so."

Finnian sweat-dropped at that.

Bard then cuts in. "Why did you bring us here Molte?"

Molte smirked again. "Because I wanted to have a shower. Did I not tell you that my clothes are full of blood?"

Bard, Mei-Rin, Finnian and Snake dead-panned at Molte's reason again while Matsuhi and the other servants just sighed slightly at Molte's reason because they have to keep up with their acts.

Bard face-palmed and groaned. "I knew it…"

"Maa~ do not be like that. Bard, Finny and Snake can join me as well. If Mei-Rin wants to have a shower, she can use the girls' side. So, what do you say?"

Mei-Rin, Finny and Snake did not know what to do and looked to Bard with pleading eyes. Bard looks into their eyes for a while and sighed.

Bard nods to Molte. "We will join you."

Molte turns to Matsuhi and Sumiko. "Alright then… Matsuhi, please prepare four sets of suits for us and we will be using your room to change. Sumiko, please prepare a set of clothes for Mei-Rin and she will be using your room. Is this okay?"

Matsuhi and Sumiko bowed. "Not a problem, Molte-sama."

Then, Matsuhi and Sumiko went into their rooms to prepare the clothes with Aruta and Kamiko following them respectively.

Next, Molte turns back to Bard and the three. "This house's bath is an onsen. I hope you will enjoy this. Because when we go back to Vongola's HQ, you will be in a stressful situation, especially you three."

Mei-Rin, Finnian and Snake paled at that.

Bard patted Mei-Rin. "Do not worry… I am sure the boss will forgive you for attacking him Mei-Rin, but I do not know about you two though because of how you were held 'hostage'..."

Finnian and Snake laughed nervously at that while thinking back at how they were easily held hostage.

Bard continued. "Anyway, even though boss is a mafia boss, he is a kind and just person and will judge accordingly."

The three just nod at that.

Then, Mei-Rin brought out another question. "What about our clothes?"

"It will be washed today and return to you by tomorrow. I do not want any of you to be soaked with blood when seeing Timoteo-sama."

By then, Matsuhi and Sumiko came out of their rooms and went to Molte.

"The bath is ready, Molte-sama."

Molte nods to them. "Thank you Matsuhi, Sumiko," and then he turns to Kumoru. "Kumoru, please take care of the child in your room for the time being."

Kumoru bowed. "Okay Molte-sama," and he went to his room to take care of Spanner.

Molte turns to Sumiko. "Sumiko, please lead Mei-Rin into the bathing area and stay beside the entrance with Kamiko to watch out for her. If Ina (Lavina) decides to join Mei-Rin in the onsen, please let her. But please put Ina's safety first in here and do not let Mei-Rin go into Ina's room, even if Ina wants her to."

Sumiko bowed. "Of course Molte-sama," and she turns to Mei-Rin. "Please follow me, Mei-Rin-san."

Mei-Rin nods hesitantly, looks at Bard and follows Sumiko into the female's bathing area.

Next, Molte turns to Matsuhi. "Matsuhi, please stay beside the entrance of the male's bathing area with Aruta just in case I need you. Reitoni, please prepare some snacks for everyone for after the bathing."

Matsuhi and Reitoni bowed. "Okay Molte-sama," and Reitoni went into the kitchen to prepare the snacks while Matsuhi waited for Molte to move.

Molte stood up and started walking to the male's breathing area with Matsuhi, Bard, Finnian and Snake following him.

~ Mei-Rin's Point Of View ~

I was lead into a room by Sumiko where Kamiko was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.

Sumiko smiled at me. "Mei-Rin-san, did you ever entered an onsen bath?"

I nod. "Yes, I have been in an onsen before when I was travelling around Japan."

Sumiko hummed. "This will simplify things then. There are a few rules you must follow when you are in this onsen."

Kamiko suddenly appears beside Sumiko and puts up a finger. "Rule number one, do not destroy anything in the onsen or you will be paying for it. And let me tell you… everything in the onsen may not look like it, but are very expensive."

Sumiko puts up two fingers. "Rule number two, when there is someone other than you in the onsen do not attack her or you will be dealing with the consequences you would not like at all."

Kamiko puts up three fingers. "Rule number three, when someone is talking to you in the onsen, talks back to her politely and do not be harsh if she asks you something sensitive as she does not know about it… if her health decreases because of your anger towards her, Molte-sama and the doctor in charge of curing her."

I gulped at that.

Sumiko puts up four fingers. "And lastly rule number four, when that someone wants you to follow her, do not follow her! ...even if she did ask you politely and pout at you cutely. Or else you will suddenly find yourself unconscious because you wanted to follow her."

I sweat-dropped again. "Have this always happen in the onsen baths for these four rules to be created?"

Sumiko shakes her head. "Not really, these four rules will only be used when there is someone here that is not part of the Ombra Famiglia."

Kamiko then puts up her four fingers as well. "You must follow these four rules set by our boss himself. If you do not, the punishments' will be carried out for each rule you broke by us and Molte-sama."

I can feel a shiver as the two maids grinned behind their masks. "So please obey these four rules~"

"I-I will…"

They both nod. "Good," and they vanished to somewhere I do not know.

I shake my head and sighed. 'Whatever...'

I took the new set of clothes on the bed with me and went into the room where the front door has a sign that says 'The Changing Room'. When I entered, I saw many rows of shelves, and on each shelf has three baskets on them. The first two baskets were empty while the third one has towels inside it.

I put the new set of clothes and my glasses into the second empty basket, then took off all my dirty clothes and put then put them into the first empty basket while releasing my hair from the hair band. My hair drops and reaches down to my back (around Uzumaki Kushina's hair length from Naruto Series) and I took a towel from the third basket to wrap it around my body.

Next, I went into the onsen and relaxed.

~ KHR ~

~ Molte's Point Of View ~

I lead all of them into Matsuhi's room where four sets of clothes were on the bed. I took one set of the clothes and Bard, Finny and Snake followed what I did while Matsuhi watched us.

I then walked into another room, the same room Mei-Rin walked into but in the males' section with Bard, Finny and Snake following me while Matsuhi waited outside with Aruta.

I looked around the room and walked to one of the shelves. I put my clean set of clothes and belongings into the second empty basket while I stripped and put all my dirty clothes into the first empty basket. Then, I took the towel from the third basket and tied it around my waist.

Bard followed what I did without hesitation while Finny and Snake had hesitated a little before during the same thing I did as well.

I pointed towards the door leading towards the onsen. "Bard, please bring your friends into the onsen first. If you need anything, Matsuhi and Aruta will help you. But please do not ask for the impossible."

Bard raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going?"

I smirked. "To go and wash my hair."

Bard jaw-dropped. "What the h**l?!"

I hit his head. "No cussing," and I walked towards the showers.

Bard sighed and leads Finny and Snake into the onsen.
