…a Security and body guard
A/N: Just imagine a large shopping centre that you have been to^^
"Thanks," a teenage murmured shyly after Xanxus checked her purse briefly, before she exited the clothes store. Seeing that no one else was exiting in the next few minutes, he strode over to the opposite store to see how things were going there.
As he walked past people, he couldn't help but notice how awkward the customers were when he met their curious gazes. One customer, who had eye-contact with Xanxus, opened and closed his mouth like a fish, as if attempting to say something to the latter, while another creepily flushed bright red and scurried off towards her friends.
"Che…trashes…" he muttered disinterestedly, as he stopped in front of a large jewellery store. The store was filled with countless necklaces, bracelets and so forth, hence radiating an extremely posh and lavish atmosphere in comparison with some other stores. As he strolled into the store, with a menacing glare at the customers, he caught a man slip a pair of earrings into his backpack from a rack.
Afterwards, the brunet scanned his surrounds nervously, before casually swinging his backpack over his right shoulder, and having a spontaneous conversation with one of the staff members. After a false, hearty talk, the brunet headed towards the entrance, with a victorious laugh.
Xanxus smirked and waited at the entrance for the man to pass through. He was going to crush that triumphant grin.
Interrogation time.
-XXXX-
"Stop right there, trash."
The man slowly turned around to face a pair of crimson orbs staring right back at him eerily. The man gulped, but quickly regained his composure. "What?" he snapped impatiently, "I have a damn train to catch."
"What's in that backpack, scum?"
The man stared at him confused, whilst shifting the position of the backpack on his shoulder. "And what the shit do you want with my backpack, you asshole?!"
"No need to get so flustered, pathetic trash," Xanxus snarled, "Empty your fucking bag, bastard."
"And why should I?"
"Don't you want to live to see tomorrow, dumbass? Or shall I have the mafia hunt you down like wolves, trash?" he hissed coolly, and smirked bitterly once he saw the man flinch. But that didn't last long.
"H-Haha, m-mafia?! You've gotta be fucking kidding me!" the man laughed incredulously, "Mafia? How stupid can you get, old ma-"
Click.
"Come again, bastard?" he growled, gripping his X-gun from his belt, and took a few steps closer to the man. "Do you really want to die that freaking much huh, dumbass? I will have my men hunt you down from the earth and back, and then I will personally make you take back those very words."
The intensity of his glare and the dangerousness of his voice scared the man profoundly. Xanxus's words were hollow, cruel and cold, and the man knew that he was not bluffing. The man took a few shaky steps backwards, and beads of cold swear formed on his forehead. He was pretty much done fore. He was sure up against one hell of a security guard.
"I-I…y-yes…you may turn me in now…t-the earrings were going to be for my…d-dying s-sister…" the man stammered in defeat, whilst taking the stolen earrings from his backpack slowly. "S-She…s-she doesn't have much longer to l-live I'm afraid." Tears started to form in the brunet's eyes, as he placed his hand over his chest, as if clutching his despairing heart.
"I-I only wanted to take these to her as my last gift – we can't afford something like this. A-And…I knew for a very long time…t-that she has always wanted…emerald green earrings – which were the colour of our mother's eyes."
Xanxus crossed his arms over his chest, and stepped back to lean against the wall, with a quizzical expression crossing his features. He glowered at the brunet mercilessly before rubbing his temples and sighing heavily in exasperation. This is shitty bastard…he mentally hissed. Xanxus pushed himself off from the wall, and in a swift motion, he swiped his X-gun once again from his hoister, and pointed it at the man in an intimidating manner.
Bang.
Rubble from the floor of the shopping centre flew into the air at impact, and dust suffocated nearby customers. When the dust had cleared, there was a large hole in front of the trembling brunet, revealing that Xanxus's shot had narrowly missed him. Bystanders looked on fearfully at the aftermath, with some amazed that the man had survived such a blast.
"W-What on earth happened h-here?"
"I heard that a man shot him!"
"H-Hurry sweetheart, d-don't look!"
"Wow…awesome…"
The man clutched his bag tightly, and tears formed at the rim of his eyes. He looked around wildly, but the security guard was nowhere to be seen. There, inside his backpack sat the shining, clear emerald earrings.
…
Bang.
"You are a disgrace…to steal something like that. Hurry up and get the shit out of here, you useless piece of trash."
The man closed his eyes and silently thanked the security guard from the bottom of his heart.
-XXXX-
"So please, while you're there, escort Tsunayoshi's friends, Xanxus," the Ninth spoke politely into the phone, "They will arrive any minute now. Well then, bye, and make sure they are not harmed in any way, as I have heard rumours that there have been multiple kidnappings of teenagers in that centre."
"What, you trashy old-"
"Oh, and I know that your job is to be a security guard, but you will take the job of a bodyguard as well, Xanxus."
Click.
Crush.
Fragments of Xanxus's mobile fell to the floor through his fist, and an ominous aura surrounded the latter.
"Heh, don't you screw with me…that scum's friends?! I don't give a shit about them!" he roared, blasting his X-gun at a nearby candy store. The customers screamed in fear and dashed outside, huddled together.
-XXXX-
"Are you our bodyguard that someone told us about?"
"Hahi! Scary, desu!~"
Xanxus turned around to find two teenage girls staring at him patiently. He twitched, and his breath came out in a hiss. Are you fucking serious?
"U-Um…a man told us to introduce ourselves," a girl with caramel-coloured, short hair smiled courteously, "My name is Sasagawa Kyoko."
"My name is Miura Haru, desu!" the other girl with dark purple hair, which was tied up in a pony-tail, grinned.
"Thank you for being our bodyguard today!" they both cried in unison.
"And I think we've seen you somewhere before…" Haru pondered, scratching her head in thought, "You seem famil-"
Xanxus cut her off, and quickly snapped, "Well I haven't seen you trashes around at all. It must have been another bloody person. Don't get it mixed up, scums." And with that, he faced the other way and exhaled deeply, his fists clenched in irritation.
This was the worst job ever.
-XXXX-
"Um, bodyguard-san…is this place really dangerous or something?" Haru asked worriedly, as they stepped out of the lifts to level 3 of the shopping centre.
"I don't know, scum," Xanxus replied disinterestedly, "I haven't been here for long."
Haru nodded, and then dragged her friend towards a clothes store excitedly. "Kyoko-chan, look! Aren't those dresses cute, desu?" Kyoko nodded in agreement, and the two strolled inside the store. The Varia boss leaned against the glass window of the store, placed his hands in his trouser pockets, and gave passer-bys a threatening glower.
"Wow, Haru-chan, that dress looks amazing on you," complimented Kyoko, staring at her friend, "You should try scarlet as well – the colour should suit you well." Haru giggled and from what Xanxus could hear from outside, it seemed like the purple-haired girl went back into the change rooms.
"Just why do I have to do this shitty thing," he muttered angrily, "Listening to girls' chit chat and whatnot is a freaking waste of my time, bloody hell." After another 20 minutes, the girls emerged with a few bags of clothing, whilst chatting blissfully.
"Bodyguard-san, we will be going to that large toy store over there now," Kyoko said. Xanxus nodded, and the girls skipped towards the store, but waited at the entrance until he caught up with them. He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Bodyguard-san, are you waiting for us at the entrance?" Haru asked. After an apathetic nod from Xanxus, she continued, "Can you please look after our shopping bags, desu?"
"We'll try to be quick!" Kyoko added.
"I don't give a shit, just get lost," Xanxus responded coldly, sending them a glare off. The girls cheered and rushed inside enthusiastically, after biding him a 'thank you'. "Stupid…" he murmured, leaning against the wall, "Who thanks someone after they tell you to get lost…idiots."
-XXXX-
The security alarms suddenly sounded in the large shopping centre.
ALERT ALERT!
A NOTORIOUS KIDNAPPER HAS BEEN SIGHTED IN THE SHOPPING CENTRE. WE HAVE ALREADY SENT FOR THE POLICE, AND THE CENTRE GUARDS ARE ON PATROL.
PLEASE LOOK AFTER YOUR CHILDREN AND BE ON ALERT.
WE WILL CATCH THE KIDNAPPER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.
THANK YOU.
"Shit, another problem," Xanxus cursed. Some people were seen leaving the stores and presumably exiting the shopping centre, and everywhere he looked, there was a bustle. He took a few steps into the toy store. The girls were gone for almost an hour.
"This just makes my day-"
"Bodyguard-san! BODYGUARD-SAN! HELP, DESU!" shrieked Haru from within the store.
"D-DOLL SECTION, AAHH!" cried Kyoko, before there was silence.
"Trashes…" he hissed, before grabbing their shopping bags and running into the store, his X-gun at the ready.
-XXXX-
As he neared the doll section of the toy store, customers were seen rushing towards the exit in distress. He quickened his pace, and heard the desperate cries once more in the next lane to his left. Upon reaching the lane where the screams were heard last, he fired his gun.
BANG.
BANG.
"Hmmm, so the prince has arrived, eh?" a throaty voice called out from behind the smoke. When the smoke cleared, he could see a black haired man with Haru in a headlock, and Kyoko tied up and gagged on the floor beside the man. Xanxus narrowed his eyes. It wasn't in his nature to rescue girls during their shopping trip, especially since he was from the Mafia – this type of thing was degrading.
"B-Bodyguard-san…desu…"
"Well well, let's see, Prince," the man began, grinning evilly, whilst picking up Kyoko with his other arm and getting ready to leave, "Let's have a ransom, shall we? You pay me 131313137 yen, and both the girls will be freed. The deadline is tomorrow at midnight. You will meet me outside the post office that is just around the corner of the shopping centre, with the money, and I expect it to be-"
BANG.
"E-Ergh…y-you…a-argh-"
"Well continue, you son of a bitch," Xanxus smirked bitterly at the heavily battered kidnapper on the ground, whilst stepping on his face ruthlessly. There was a large crater beneath the man due to the force of his blast. "You can pay for the girls' injuries using your life insurance, can you not, you filthy piece of trash."
"N-No…L-Let me go! Y-You-"
BANG.
Silence.
"B-Bodyguard-san…?" Kyoko questioned shakily, helping her friend up.
"Hurry up, the police are coming," Xanxus said hastily, pocketing his gun, "We're getting out of here, trashes."
-XXXX-
AT THE SCENE OF THE KIDNAPPING 5 MINUTES LATER
"A-A crater?!" one of the policeman cried out, "What the hell? How can this happen?"
"Most importantly, where are the 2 girls that a witness spoke of?" a woman asked seriously, taking one last glance at the kidnapper who was being lifted onto a stretcher.
"T-This must be the work of…of…a demon!" the owner of the store yelled hysterically, waving his arms, "M-My store…it's trashed!"
"Shut up, stop speaking nonsense," the woman snapped impatiently, "Demons don't exist. Please leave if you won't be any help to us."
-XXXX-
SAWADA RESIDENCE
"Hieee?! W-What happened to you, Kyoko-chan, Haru-san?!" The girls walked into Tsuna's house smiling awkwardly, with a few bruises and scratches, and their clothing were covered in dust and dirtied. Their hair was messy, but regardless, they were still clutching their shopping bags cheerfully.
"W-Well…it's a long story, but we're safe nonetheless!" beamed Kyoko happily.
Haru nodded in agreement, "The day was very exciting, desu!"
And as they launched into their detailed account of what had happened a few hours ago, the brunet passed out in shock.
"We thought the bodyguard seemed a little familiar, desu! He had some scars across his face, and he was always wearing a frown."
"Yes, his eyes were crimson, and he carried a gun with him."
"Hmm, interesting," Reborn said, "Did he have any catchphrases?"
"Hahi, yes! If I remember correctly…it was trash or scum or something desu…"
No doubt.
It was him.

Name: Xanxus
Occupation: Security and bodyguard
Status: FLED.
How'd yah like it?
Thank yah very much, hehe~ And here's the poll!
POLL: Should Xanxus be a Yum cha waiter, or just a normal waiter in a cafe for the next chapter?
Ok, so I've had people asking what a Yumcha is, so I'll explain, or you can search it up on Google. Handy isn't it? Anyway, a Yum cha is a traditional Chinese style morning or afternoon tea, which involves drinking Chinese tea and eating dim sum dishes [Taken from Wikipedia]. And things get quite hectic in a Yum cha, since it's so crowded and sometimes in a Yum cha, they push trolleys instead of people serving them -which can be interesting, hehe. Search some images up in Google -it might help^^
So there yah go~
Every vote counts, so please vote, so I know what to do for the next chapter, hehe^^ I've been wondering which one to do for a while, so I was like: "Why not ask the readers?!" Heehee~ I'll see how things go, and I might put the poll on my profile. Maybe...
Thank you:D
MAY THE ULTIMATE GREEN FORCE BE WITH YOU~
