The Varia had taken to hiding whenever they heard Xanxus approaching. It had only been half a day since his ban from meat and alcohol, and he had single-handedly destroyed entire rooms of the castle, and managed to get Squalo to seek refuge behind an overturned table with Nuvola.
"This is your fault" Squalo hissed as the two peeked over the table.
"My fault! I didn't ask the ninth to ban Xanxus from meat and alcohol!" Nuvola snapped back as she made a run for the door while Xanxus back was turned.
"VOI! Come back here! Don't leave me here!"
"Shark-trash! Why are you still here?" Xanxus turned round and blew the table to bits with his X-guns.
Outside Lussuria had collared Nuvola, "Has the boss calmed down yet Nuvola-chan? Because I bought him some smoked salmon." Lussuria smiled as he waved the fish under Nuvola's nose.
"I don't think smoked salmon is going to appease him."
"But it's fresh British Salmon! I also bought him some orange squash for dinner tonight."
"Lussuria, I'll order takeaway tonight, and I'll eat it in my room, so don't bother leaving any food for me out on the table."
"Where's Nuvola?" Fran asked looking at her empty seat in the dining room.
"She wanted to eat takeaway in her bedroom" Lussuria answered as he heaped vegetables on to Xanxus' plate.
"Rainbow-trash. What are these green things?" Xanxus prodded the small green things that were rolling around on his plate with his fork.
"Those are peas and the orange things are carrots, and that white thing is…"
"Trash, do I look like a fucking rabbit? And what's this crap in my glass? It looks like piss."
"Orange squash, but we've got some smoked salmon as well; it's a bit like meat." Fran responded whilst wolfing down his fish.
There was an almighty crash as Xanxus threw his plate off the table. "I'm not eating this crap, bring me some beef."
Silence fell on the table until Levi spoke up. "Boss, Coyote sent all the meat and alcohol to Tsuna and his guardians in Japan."
Xanxus twitched.
Nuvola was in her room, happily munching away on her beef takeaway, when the floor started to shake and gunshots could be heard. I guess Xanxus doesn't like fish and vegetables after all. The gunshots continued and heavy footfalls could be heard coming towards her room, the door slammed opened and an angry looking Xanxus with visible scars strode over to her.
"If I apologize to you, can you get the ninth to give me back my meat and alcohol?" He ground out whilst standing over her.
"I suppose I could. If you truly mean your apology." Nuvola stabbed her fork in to the last bit of beef in her takeaway.
"I'm sorry for choking you." Xanxus eyes followed her fork as she bought the meat up to her lips, and paused to answer him.
"Since that's probably the best apology I'm ever going to get from you, I'll call the ninth up tonight and ask him to lift the ban for you." Nuvola responded as she popped the beef in her mouth. To her surprise, Xanxus holstered his guns, placed his hands either side of her face and kissed her. As she opened her mouth slightly in shock, Xanxus used this as an excuse to delve his tongue in and fish the beef out of her mouth and into his. Pulling away he turned and left her room, smirking as he closed the door.
