"I'm just gonna freshen myself up, okay? Please just wait. Please don't do anything."
Violet sent another few begging glances at the group but hurried towards the small outside building that contained a toilet.
Her plan had two parts, the first had been accomplished, showing everyone that no matter what they couldn't touch her, the second part would focus on showing them how she could do it though.
Her eyes were wandering around and searching for Kyoko who was already on her way to her. This was a bit too lucky but she wouldn't complain about it.
The small blonde stepped inside the doorframe "Skull? I want to apologise." She bowed.
"Oh don't worry about it. It wasn't you after all."
"But she's my friend." That she was.
"Could you maybe get me something like a belt and if you have some makeup? I would really like to correct this disaster. The house is just a bit away right?"
"Yes, I can get it for you! I'm gonna be back in around five minutes. I'm really sorry!" she bowed again.
Violet almost felt sorry for her next actions. But it's not like it would hurt Kyoko in any way.
When the girl turned around to walk the small distance to the mansion she put a nonverbal notice-me-not charm on Kyoko. It would be enough to distract everyone from seeing Kyoko going to the mansion.
It was time to make her father and godfather proud.
She quickly pulled the chain off, morphed into the body of the small asian girl and put a glamour on herself to hide her piercings and imitate Kyoko's clothes.
Glamours often didn't hold that long or were too obvious for a wizard but in this case? It would work, especially because of the small time frame she would need.
She quickly pulled out one of her ear piercings, reversing the transformation rune Hermione had placed on it and fished the two small packages out of her moleskine pouch.
When she had become Skull there had been no way for her to keep on wearing it around her neck, not wanting to give it up Hermione had poured a lot of time in research to find a suitable spell for it. She had come across the rune, which made it quite difficult to assess in times of need but she was still able to carry her pouch around undetected.
She took one of the items out of the small packages, and let the boxes fall into her pockets before she turned her pouch back into piercing form and put it back in.
Hurriedly making her way to the buffett, grabbing a cupcake and shoving the item on it.
Even going as far as putting a compulsion charm on it under the table.
Her wand went back in her holster unnoticed and she made her way straight to Bianchi.
"Bianchi? I wanted to bring you some cake. Chocolate makes everything better!" she smiled as brightly as possible, trying her best to mimic Kyoko.
Bianchi was still in a slight rage, mixed with sadness but already accepting the cupcake. Violet even went as far as giving her a hug "I'm going to be back in like a minute, okay? I promised to help but I really wanted to give you the cupcake first to cheer you up a bit! Just wait for me, okay?" she entangled herself from the Italian girl, making her retreat while watching her surroundings with hawk eyes.
To her surprise she had only earned a few thankful glances. No one had really bothered with her and to keep that image she would need to get back to the building as quickly as possible.
There was no way that Tsuna or anyone else would fall for her behaviour. Her only saving grace had been how distracted Bianchi was and that she had only exchanged a few words.
She would have never been able to pull off the act any longer.
While she knew Kyoko to some degree and how she acted, it wasn't even close to the amount she would have needed to pull it off even a minute longer.
She burst back into the toilet and reversed her charms while simultanly morphing back into her own body, but leaving the chain off.
Swishing her wand around one last time to get any residue off her and she had barely put her wand away again when Kyoko came back.
"I have got it. I'm really sorry again."
"It's really okay. I can do the rest alone… maybe go to Bianchi? I mean she was at fault but heartbreaks are quite harsh… I think she could use your help."
Kyoko smiled grateful at her and hurriedly nodded, uttering another thank you while she turned around. Just to get hit by a light confundus.
It wouldn't hurt Kyoko in any way, just leaving her a bit confused for a few minutes. But she would definitely not react to any comments about her bringing Bianchi a cupcake.
Her whole plan of action could definitely be seen as quite mean but there had been a reason why she had almost been sorted into Slytherin. If there was one thing Slytherins were good then it was slyness and revenge.
Violet let out a deep breath before she formed the suit jacket in some kind of dress, holding it in place with the belt and fixing her makeup.
She still hadn't put on her chain again, after all she would need to be ready to transform.
Quickly stepping back to the Arcobalenos and taking the whole scene in. Her group had still been left alone. Bianchi was nibbling on her Cupcake and Kyoko was at her side.
Nothing spectacular had happened and she could release the breath she had been holding.
In a better mood she sat back down on the blanket "So who would have thought that in the end I would just wear your clothes again? Still complaining that it isn't adequate?" she chattered lightly.
Reborn still seemed in a dark mood but he pulled her closer to his side.
"Don't tell me your plan was just to wear Reborns clothes again?" Lal mustered Violet doubtful.
"Naturally not."
"Then what is it?"
She just winked at the former soldier "Patience is a virtue."
She still earned disgruntled looks for that but none of them moved away, still building a protective circle around her.
She took up the chance to start a lighthearted conversation about whatever came to her mind, not that any of them were truly entertaining it, still way too much on edge.
The compulsion she had used on the cupcake would slightly manipulate Bianchi into actually eating the cupcake but finishing the added sweet last. Even better, the product had been improved overtime to cause a delayed reaction. Making it easier to let the use go undetected.
All Violet had to do was wait for a bit until the real show would start.
Busying herself with poking Reborn to get him in a better mood but still not reacting to any questions that revolved around her plan.
In the end it took around half an hour before she could hear a scream.
Turning around she could see Bianchi clutching her nose, unable to stop the massive nosebleed from practically flooding out of her nose.
Muggles always did react quite strongly to it.
It only took a few seconds for Bianchi to be crowded by the tenth generation and Shamal hurried over to her side, trying to examine her and finding out which Moskito he could use to stop it.
Violet wasn't even worried about that. It's not like it was an actual sickness and would be able to get healed through it. The massive amount of blood could be worrisome if she didn't know how it was created. Bianchi wasn't actually losing all her blood, instead creating an overflow of it that escaped mostly through the nose. In rare cases and apparently Bianchi was one, it started to seep out of ears and mouth as well. She still was lucky to not have it come out of her eyes.
Shamal uttered something about poison and Violet could feel the sharp looks of her bondmates on her.
"Skull… you did not, did you?" Fon asked almost breathlessly and she just hummed absentmindedly, watching the spectacle unfold.
Bianchi had meanwhile started to panic badly, just proclaiming that all she had eaten was Kyoko's cupcake.
Kyoko who at that point had long gotten over the light confundus just stared confused at her friend.
Bianchi again proclaimed it "The cupcake you gave me! When you came back? You gave it to me!"
Violet just grinned, tugging herself free of Reborns arms and stood up, speaking loud and clearly "Oh? Did she?"
Silence hit the area immediately, everyone looking at the small cloud arcobaleno who had started to slowly make her way towards the group.
It wasn't easy to control her ability while walking but her talent listened to her and she started to morph back into Kyoko, again copying her voice as well "Did she give it to you? I wonder?"
Bianchi's eyes widened in horror.
Violet herself didn't stop her transformation, her eyes turned completely pitch black for a few seconds, her grin widening to an unsettling amount and even her teeth getting slightly sharper, before she morphed back into her natural state, keeping the unsettling smile though.
"But honestly you surprised me. Someone who prides themself in their poisonous ability just eating whatever? Sounds like an amateur to me." she casually chattered, intentionally keeping a chitter sound to it.
She knew she wouldn't have to worry about getting attacked by any of the Vongola. Bianchi had started it herself at an event that was definitely not suitable for it. It had been meant to strengthen the connections with their allies.
Bianchi had completely kicked that with her feet and Violet was more than just in the right for her act of revenge. If the Vongola would turn their weapons on her it would be a strict breach of contact and actually result in a war declaration against the arcobaleno. There was nothing more stupid anyone could do. While she could see some of them itching to react they couldn't act on it.
Violet just kept on smiling, while cramming in her pockets, pulling out two items out of her little boxes, without revealing the boxes themself.
"Wouldn't it be funny if you ate another thing I gave you?"
She casually threw the two sweets in the air, catching them again with her trained reflexes.
"Why would I do that?" Bianchi almost whispered, still trying to clutch her nose, to stop the blood flow in any way.
"Because one of them is the counter. But my mistake I kinda got them mixed up… I guess it's up to you which one you want." Which again was bullshit, she knew exactly which one Bianchi would need to take. She extended her hand towards the italian girl, both sweets lying in her palm.
Helpless glances were exchanged and whispers followed.
Tsuna's eyes were shining a light orange when he spoke up "She isn't lying about the counter."
"But about knowing which one it is?"
Violet chuckled at that "Would be boring otherwise, wouldn't it?"
She could see how tense all of them were but she stayed patient while Bianchi hesitantly tried to decide.
"You're losing quite an amount of blood… what do you think? How many litres was that yet?"
Bianchi paled even further before she just grabbed one and forced herself to swallow it.
The cloud just kept her smile, pocketing the other sweet again.
The storm user had been lucky, her nosebleed stopped in a matter of seconds. Still leaving her covered in her own blood but at least not furthering the small pool around her.
"And this my dear Ladies and gentlemen, and any variations thereof is why you don't mess with anyone above your paygrade. "
Violet gave a mocking impression of an exaggerated bow. Before she turned around to walk to her group "I don't know why but I think the mood went a bit sour. Want to head out?" she joked.
Just for all of the Arcobalenos to stand up, surrounding her again while they made their way to their car in unity.
Violet grinned up at Reborn "So? Regret leaving it to me?"
He just patted her head in response, still observing their surroundings vigilantly.
Yuni who had been walking on Violet's other side spoke up a bit hesitant "Did you really have to poison her?"
Violet just smiled at the younger sky "Poison? What poison?"
Colonnello, who himself had been alert and walked behind her, snorted at that "You almost killed her and won't admit to using poison, kora? I mean I hadn't taken you for that kind of gal… but fair is fair."
Violet just grinned more at that, speeding up her steps when they made it to the parking lot and threw the small boxes at the rain who read it out loud"Skiving Snackbox… Nosebleed Nougat and Puking Pastilles….Those are prank items?" his jaw dropped and all eyes turned again on the former sky.
Violet just twirled around brightly grinning "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good!" she winked at the group before skipping towards their car, trying to make it to the driver seat before anyone could kick her off it.
Reborn meanwhile had stopped his walk, just staring at the petite woman and way too obvious feelings filled up his chest "Oh cazzo…" was all he could whisper out at the realisation.
