Chapter 2
The whole house is in flames and Xanxus couldn't careless, something like flames wouldn't be able to penetrate the field surrounding him. And judging by how the screams had stopped a few minutes ago their clean-up has been a success.
He looked at the bleeding body beneath him and scowls. He couldn't believe how someone this weak manage to bring down one of Vongola's most trusted man.
'Iemitsu you fucking trash I'd fucking kill you if I can' he wanted to make the man experience a more gruesome and torturous death but it seems like his rage got the better of him and before he knew it he had shot him at his vitals.
*cough* *cough*
Xanxus froze, he can hear the sound of coughing coming from the basement, he would have ignored it if not because the coughing sounded too small for a grown up man.
*cough* *cough*
With his intuition prickling him he begrudgingly, and curiously, scaled down the stairs. After a surprisingly 10 step stair case Xanxus arrived at the basement. He frowned as his intuition flared sky high. Something's obviously wrong, he can just taste it.
The trash-Francis Benvolino- was on his way here instead of escaping, meaning he was hiding something- or in this case someone- of high importance. There are a lot of possibilities one: this is where a hidden passage is located, two: this is where his treasure is located and three: he's keeping his last trump card in here. Something or someone insanely strong or of high-importance that can be used as a token of negotiation. But if he was keeping someone here then the security is too lax.
The door, if he can remember, is only made of wood, albeit a strong and sturdy one can be broken with a few hard punches. The basement is also too shallow as if this was made so that people would not have a hard time coming and going. If he's keeping someone strong then it should be kept in a place where it can't escape.
The basement was too dark with no visible source of light, but the fire had managed to reach the place and surprisingly there's only one cell. It is made up of simple and rusty iron bars that obviously can't keep anything too dangerous inside. But what caught Xanxus' attention was the smell, the place smelled fowl, a mixture of rotten food, dead animals, blood…. And sex?
Cautiously Xanxus approached the gates of the jail. He can't imagine what to expect but he can hear the coughing coming from the inside. The prisoner's obviously not someone physically strong but it can be an illusionist or someone with amazing powers. So slowly he opened the gate and warily scanned the cell but was not able to see anyone.
*cough* *cough*
Xanxus furrowed his brows, irritated and annoyed. All this suspense is making him angry; he does not enjoy venturing to the unknown, that's Squalo's style, not his.
*cough*
Finally losing all his patience Xanxus let his flames loose lighting and burning the whole basement in the process. And what he saw both shocked and disgusted Xanxus. Lying on the farthest corner of the jail is a child, no older than 5.
The child was curled into a ball; it was wearing a single overly large shirt that covers its whole body. The shirt must had been white but is now covered with bile, dirt, dust, blood and other bodily fluids Xanxus refuse to identify. The child has long and dirty brown hair that had not been washed nor cut for years and sprawled around the child like tangled ropes.
His intuition heightened when he saw the child, it screamed at him to save 'it'.
"Oi tr-kid, wake up" his intuition told him that raising his voice and calling it a trash is not a good idea. And so with the best of his capabilities he tried to talk in a normal tone though his voice still sounded harsh and crude.
"Stand up" he tried again, yet it remained in its curled up position. The smoke fueled by his own fire thicken making it cough harder. Xanxus is no idiot, he knows that if this continues the child would suffocate and will be engulf by the fire. But his intuition tells him that he must not touch the child, not yet.
So he did what he can for the moment, that is to widen his barrier and to let the child in. But judging from its condition fresh air's not enough to keep it from dying. He needs immediate medical attention and not only due to the smoke. Now that he's looking close its body is covered with scars, burns, and lashes. It even has blood dripping down its arms but the one that needs the most attention is the wound from which the blood is dripping on its thighs.
Xanxus growled, he knows where that blood is coming from. 'That sick perverted son of a bitch' he cursed in his head. What that fucking scum was hiding is not a monster but an effin' sex toy. Even Lussuria with all his man hunting's not this disgusting.
His rage might had been the trigger he's waiting because upon feeling the suffocating aura it woke up. It might have confused his raging aura with its captors because upon waking up it immediately went into a kneeling position with its head touching the ground.
'A submissive posture' Xanxus recognized and instead of appeasing his domineering nature it increased his anger. His intuition's flaring and he can barely control the flames of rage from enveloping his body.
"look up" he commanded, and even if he had suspicions -thanks to his intuition- he was still unable to stop the guttural growl from escaping his throat. What he saw was more than what he had expected. It looked up at him with eyes as blank as a canvass. Those brown eyes held nothing in its gaze, it was dull, blank and unseeing. The bastard had broken this young child beyond repair.
"My name is Xanxus" he's not sure why but again his intuition told him to introduce himself, that his name will trigger something. And it did. For a moment it looked surprise, then their was recognition, relief and finally resignation before it collapsed into Xanxus' waiting arm.
There is still some hope. His intuition told him that he needs to save it and save it is what he did when he took the child by the neck of its shirt. He exit the mansion through a newly formed hole while he sat on his throne of doom with a child dangling beside him. He has no idea why he needed to save it but if that's what his intuition tells him to do then he will do it no questions ask… Even if by doing so will drastically change, not only his life, but of the whole vongola.
A.N.
I would like to clarify things before I proceed with the story.
1. Like what was said in the previous chapter, the 10th generation head is Xanxus. In this story he is the legitimate child of the Ninth and he did not kill any of his brothers. Since he was not adopted by the Ninth his upbringing will be a bit different thus making his personality differ from that of the manga.
2. And you guys might have noticed but Xanxus will have hyper intuition and zero point break through. But all other skills will be his own.
3. In the story, we will have both Flan and Mammon, with Flan being the Mist guardian and Mammon just someone Xanxus hired.
4. And yes, the official guardians are the Varia and yes, Varia is still present though it had merged with Vongola and is no longer working as a separate assassin unit.
5. As what may have been inferred, Iemitsu is dead but he had a big role in shaping MY Xanxus.
6. Other characters WILL appear though there will be alterations with their personality, don't worry it's not anything drastic.
7. This story will remain as a Xanxus and Tsuna brotherly or fatherly love; I will not turn it into anything more than that. Though I'm still not sure about the pairings. On second thought there's a possibility that it will escalate into something more but that will be seen in the sequel where Tsuna's older.
8. Though the first two chapters had been heavy, this fic will be a fluffy one. Of course some chapters will be serious especially… yes, but most of the time I'll try to make it a fluff.
I guess that's that for now. XD thank you very much. Next chapter we will have a real interaction between the two~ Arrivederci~
btw... I would like to thank everyone who commented and put this story in their alerts or favorites. I really didn't expect that this fic will get this much attention. You made me really happy, and because of that instead of updating once a week I ended up updating earlier. XD
