He hadn't found me, he had looked in some random place and letting those words leave his lips as he thought he found a prize. But I was still under his bed, undiscovered.

"Dammit, not here. I'll find you, whoever you are," Xanxus said playfully. He continued to look in random areas of his room conveying 'I found you' until I was found. The only chance I would have to escape was when he went into the closet. I watched him go into his closet and I crawled from under the bed as fast as I could and bolted for the door.

"Ha! It was you after all!" he yelled and chased after me. I don't think I've ever felt so scared running from one man. The utter feeling of him chasing me was much worse than if he could capture me. I ran down the Varia halls turning sharp corners and running through random rooms hoping I would not reach a dead end. And he was still behind me, laughing evilly. He was toying with me, I'm sure if he truly wanted to catch me he would have by now.

"Stop chasing me!" I cried

"Not until I punish you for invading my room" Xanxus laughed. Great, he's even laughing at this. I turned another sharp corner and was grabbed from behind. A hand was placed over my mouth as I thrashed and tried to scream. An arm was wrapped around my waist tightly and I was pinned against another body.

"Voi! Calm down Peano do you want him to hear you?" Squalo hushed. I relinquished my struggling and screaming, becoming as silent as the night. I could feel Squalo's hot breath teasing my skin, though I know he meant no intention. His arm held onto my waist protectively as his other hand remained on my mouth, incase I tried to scream again.

"Fuck, where'd that scum go?" Xanxus questioned. We were in a room behind closed doors and I could hear Xanxus's footsteps wandering around until they became distant sounds. I sighed in relief. Squalo dropped his hand from my mouth,

"Thanks Squalo" I said and tried to put distance between us but his arm was still wrapped around my waist. "Uh… Squalo"

"Peano" Squalo lustfully crooned, placing warm lips on my neck. I could feel his hot breath traveling up and down my neck. And his free hand crept up my stomach to my breast about to cup it into his callous hands before I harshly elbowed him in the stomach.

"Gawk!" he cried in pain, releasing his grip and gripping onto his stomach instead.

"Pervert, your no better than Xanxus"

"Don't compare me to that fucking bastard" Squalo said. But it was true. Matter fact, no one in the Varia was any better than the boss. We could be just as cruel and merciless to show our loyalty to our nefariousl leader. I increased my guard as Squalo walked up to me, placing a hand on my cheek.

"Xanxus can't be gentler or kinder or caring for you" he said now caressing it.

"I'll be whatever the boss can't give you". My face warmed up from his words and a scarlet streak crossed from one cheek to the other. And what if the boss could be all the qualities Squalo offered. I've definitely never given him the chance. I'm not even sure why I'm afraid of him.

"You certainly weren't caring when you tried to rape me" I replied. Squalo tensed but just as quickly relaxed.

"I wasn't thinking, I was just so upset that he got to you first. I... I won't treat you like some prize anymore. But that doesn't mean I'll stop coming after you" he replied. I had to muse for a moment. What made Xanxus and Squalo so attracted to me anyway? I know I'm good looking but there are tons of gorgeous woman in Italy. What made me so special? Was it because I'm part of the Varia? That my services are free other than the whores on the street? Or there's a side to me that just seems more attractive than those whores? I don't know.

"I'll be yours," I said, Squalo's expression was rejoicing.

"But! You have to protect from Xanxus at all cost even if it means soiling your loyalty" I know saying this was somewhat harsh. Squalo was loyal to Xanxus and I'm sure I can't get in the way of that unconditional loyalty. But it was worth a try. He stared at me for long while, musing. I saw flashes of pained to angered expressions before he finally answered.

"Alright, I'll protect you, but, you have to trust me" Trust? That's all he wanted in exchange.

"I'll trust you," I said half-heartedly and he could hear it in my voice but ignored it.

So now I'm must succumb to two men. One, who's my boss anyhow, and the other, for protection from my boss. Actually I would really like to see how Squalo would protect me. Would he be willing to put a sword up his boss's throat to shield my body? That would be a sight to see. My demon side had begun to slowly slip from the depths of my heart, coming out to the surface. Maybe Squalo and the boss would kill each other over me, and that would be just perfect. Then I would be the next boss of Varia as third in command. But only Squalo has confessed to me, Xanxus's feelings remain unknown. A wicked smile crept upon my lips.

"What are you smiling for, Peano-sempai" Fran said then stuffing his mouth with pasta. I glared across the dining table at him,

"Oh, nothing important, just sorting out my thoughts" I replied.

"Ife cam sell ur lrying" he said with a full mouth thus smacked in the head by Belphegor

"Swallow then speak idiot". I guess my answer was somewhat of a lie. And honestly I don't think these heinous thoughts would've ever come to mind if it weren't for the demon in me. It was breaking from its ancient, rusted chains and now trying to claw its way out. And once it was out, there would be no doubt that the notorious Varia leader would meet his end.
