Chapter 2
When he entered the club, Xanxus was a little surprised - for some years the premise interior was totally changed.
"Much has been changed here," said Mukuro, replying to Xanxus' thoughts. Sometimes it seemed he could people's minds. That had always irritated Xanxus.
They came upstairs on the balcony of the second floor to occupy the VIP-place. When Xanxus empressive slumped down on luxurious claret sofa, the pretty girl approashed to them suggesting to bring something to drink. He ordered favourite whisky and Mukuro ordered pineapple juice. Xanxus grinned of his friend's choice and turned look on the dancing girls. Later girls left the scene. Suddenly light indoors was gone out, and the crowd enthusiastically rustled.
"It is beginning," warned Mukuro.
The sound of cymbals broke the silence and then the stage was flooded with bright light. There were four persons on the stage, among which Xanxus recognized the silver-haired girl he saw at entrance. She was in black leather pants and a short black dress with lacy collar.
Then he turned his attention to the other musicians. The blond with tiara and bang covering his eyes, played guitar. The guy with a green mohawk, the drummer, looked even more ridiculously than the blond Xanxus's judgment. And the last was Mukuro's green-haired sister playing the keyboard.
His thoughts were interrupted with voice of the soloist:
Vooooooooi!
Let me show you the world
That I live in for the years
Forget about your fears
And just confide in me
I am not an angel
But also not devil
Forget all the fears
And follow me to darkness
Let be this bloody rain
The requiem for your dreams…*
His eyes rested on the girl till the show end.
The rock band left scene to deafening applause.
"Would you mind if I invite them here to drink with us?" asked Mukuro.
Xanxus was not assure that he want to meet them.
"I don't care," he replied.
Mukuro smiled and quickly dialled someone's number "Ottavio, please, tell everyone we're waiting for them here."
"Seems that you're a frequent visitor here," said Xanxus.
"Sometimes I come to watch their show, but didn't get personally acquainted with them," replied Mukuro, gulping his juice.
O.o.O.o.O
Barely behind, Lussuria turned to embrace Squalo "It was so cool! I love you, Squalooo!".
"Vooooi! Lussuria, fuck off!" yelled Squalo trying to break the embrace.
"Ushishi. What a bang-up couple!" giggled Belphegor.
However, both of them didn't pay attention to his words.
They had already gotten to the make-up room when they were called by their manager " You have been invited to a VIP-place".
"By whom? Dino?" asked Squalo rolling her eyes.
"No. Rokudo Mukuro," replied Ottavio and nodded towards Fran "Her brother."
Fran pretended wasn't her business.
"Shishishi. Froggie has a brother? I didn't expect it."
"Yeah. My parents didn't expect it too," Fran muttered.
"Oooh, I want to meet Franni's brother," Lussuria enthusiastically exclaimed, "Let's go!"
Fran rolled her eyes heavenward.
"Go on without me, please," Squalo said coldly.
"Why, Squalo?" asked Lussuria, "All the same, you can't leave without us."
It was true. Squalo had failed the driving exam five times, therefore Lussuria usually gave her a ride home. Belphegor passed the exam with honours but Squalo and Lussuria didn't allow him to drive, because he found out that crashing cars was more amusing than watching horror movies, even. That's why Lussuria took home too.
Squalo decided that waiting for Fran and the boys in the make-up room would be too tiresome, considering the fact that those two idiots could return very late.
"Alright. Persuaded," she sighed.
"Follow me," ordered Ottavio and shifted his glasses.
O.o.O.o.O
Xanxus already finished drinking his second glass of whisky when Ottavio brought the guests.
"Here," Ottavio said to them and then turned to Xanxus, "Call me if you need something else".
Squalo tracked his sight and angrily clenched her teeth, as she recognized the person who called her 'trash'. Xanxus pretended that he didn't notice. He lazily waved his hand at Ottavio, dismissing him.
Squalo wanted to tell Xanxus what she thought about him, but suddenly he gave her a glance that forced her to shudder. Mukuro suggested the guests to sit down. Then he looked at sister, "Congratulations, little one! It was amazing."
"I know. Who is this man? Your boyfriend?" asked Fran, as she nodded at Xanxus. He gave her a leer.
"Kufufu. He is my friend. Just a friend," explained Mukuro.
Then he turned to the other members of band, offering a hand which Lussuria wasn't slow to shake, "I'm Rokudo Mukuro, Fran's brother. Nice to meet you."
"Oohlala! You're so handsome! I'm Lussuria."
Then Lussuria pointed at Belphegor and Squalo, "This beautiful prince is Bel. I ask to notice that the name quite represents the look, Ohoho," he said it coquettishly covering the mouth with palm, "And this is Superbia Squalo, our crazy virgin."
"LUSSURIA!" shouted Squalo, jumping up, "Wha...What are you talking about?!"
Xanxus raised his eyebrows, surprised.
"Shishishi, Lussuria is so tactless."
"Xanxus? Mukuro?" this voice forced everyone to turn. There was a tall blonde with kind brown eyes. He stared at Squalo, "You're gorgeous. As always".
"Ah, Don't begin, Dino," she groaned in irritation.
"Xanxus?" asked Belphegor, "Vongola heir Xanxus?"
"Oh, yeah," answered Dino and turned to Xanxus, "Glad to see you."
"Hn. What a pity, I can't return the compliment," replied Xanxus.
Xanxus never liked Cavallone because of his mild disposition and naivety. He considered such qualities unacceptable for a person of the mafia world. However Dino never took offence at Xanxus's rudeness. "Hahaha, straightforward as always."
Squalo decided that it was time to leave, "Well, it was pleasant to talk to you, but it's time for us to go," she said, pushing Lussuria and Belphegor to the exit.
"But we just came!" Lussuria protested.
"He is right," supported Mukuro.
"Unfortunately, tomorrow I have a lot of work to do. So I should really go," said Squalo, giving a fake smile.
Xanxus guessed that she was lying.
"I can take you home," offered Dino.
"I'm not suicidal, Cavallone".
"Hahaha. But Romario is driving."
"Oh, Alright," agreed Squalo, grudgingly.
Xanxus never liked Cavallone...but this moment he felt that he hated the Bucking Horse even more than before.
O.o.O.o.O
...Silk softness of hair. The touch of cold hands. Narrow snow-white wrists... He tangled a hand into her hair and catches on himself derisive glance of grey eyes... He gently kisses her wrist...She runs her fingers over his cheekbone...
Xanxus woke up from the dream in a cold sweat.
"What the hell?!" he wondered, as he tried to get his breath, "What's with me? It was just a silly dream."
...dream...
