I'M SORRY! Gah! It's been three weeks since I last updated! School started for me again on Tuesday the 4th and I wanted to update last weekend, BUT I spent that reading the entirety of 'The Grapes of Wrath' for English. A great book by the way, but I still read for more that eight hours straight or so on both Saturday and Sunday so I didn't have any time to update or do anything else. I didn't even eat lunch! Again, I am sorry for the delay! Now that school's started again I'll try and get on a more regular updating cycle. Thanks to all of you that have been patient with me and have continued reading and supporting my story! And again; GOMEN I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THIS DELAY!

Now, without further ado, XANXUS!
It's kinda funny. A sober Xanxus? Now none of us ever thought we'd see that….and we probably still won't if we know what's good for us.
A vein pulsed vehemently in Xanxus' neck and forehead as his natural glare seemed to intensify tenfold as the rest of the Varia watched the poor subordinate cowering before him. The poor unfortunate soul who had been cursed with the duty of relaying to oh-so-powerful and overly violent Varia boss the death sentencing news.
They were all out of liquor.
You watched with amusement from your stoic position against the wall with rest of the Varia core members as you observed the building rage in your bosses face and the increasing amount of sweat pouring off of the poor underling kneeling in fear before him.
"Trash…" Xanxus ground out.
"Y-yes sir!" The underling jumped and yelped out in the face of the terror.
"What. Do. You. Mean. We're. Out?" Xanxus growled out syllable by vicious syllable.
"T-that's just i-it sir. All the liquor's just g-gone. We don't know how or whe-"
Xanxus' fist slammed down onto the table in front of him effectively silencing the underling with a furious finality. (No the man isn't actually dead yet.)
Scars began appearing all over Xanxus' face. Dark scars, the ones he usually carried hidden under his skin were bursting out rapidly all over his face and, as you knew, over the rest of his body as well. Actually, you thought distractedly, paying more attention to your boss' discoloring face than to the violently shaking grunt before him, the blossoming bruised scars almost reminded you of some strange, sick semblance of blooming flowers appearing all over the skin of his body and face.
"Trash…" Xanxus ground out once again and you snapped yourself back to attention of the scene as the wood of the table began to slowly char before suddenly the entire structure burst into an explosion of flames and fury in front of the lot of you, blowing pieces of charred and flaming once expensive wood everywhere.
"WHAT THE F*CK DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO WHISKEY TRASH?"
The subordinate keeled over backwards in a dead faint, foaming at the mouth. Oh, thank the gods or mafia lords or whatever that you were so good at keeping a straight face you thought as you moved away from Squalo on you left who was cursing loudly, apparently some of the still burning cinders had landed in his hair. Prissy boy.
Xanxus' rage was still building and appropriately surrounding his body in a swirling mass of his flame of wrath. The members of the core Varia scattered and sprinted for the door just as Xanxus' control exploded, dangerous blasts of flames erupting everywhere with efficiency of a slightly smaller version of Hiroshima, shattering and charring everything in the room.
You smirked slightly as you glanced back from the still-in-one-piece hallway into the now charred and thoroughly ruined room with the still furious, though no longer actively flaming, Varia leader still standing in the middle of the room. It looked like Xanxus was rather ticked about not having his alcohol fix.
'As expected' you thought as you shook your head and walked back down the hallway, noticing Lussuria dragging the unconscious and mouth-foaming subordinate behind him down the carpeted hallway. Apparently he'd been the only who'd thought it might be a good idea to grab the unconscious man and move him away from the Xanxus explosion of seconds earlier.
You couldn't help but wonder if the poor stiff would be taking a very early retirement after this as you watched Lussuria continue to drag the unconscious man down the thick carpet of the hallway. Oh well, not your problem anyways. And besides, you had more important matters to attend to.
…
Xanxus growled, seated in his thick leather arm chair before the fire in his personal rooms.
"HOW THE F**K ARE THEY OUT OF WHISKEY?"
He always managed to keep the place well over stocked even with his exuberant drinking splurges, so how the hell could they be out?
"Aw~" a feminine voice crept into his ears and the scowling, scarred Varia boss turned his head to glare behind past his chair with crimson eyes at your figure as you waltzed confidently out of the shadows covering the walls of his room, confident smile-no, confident smirk- in place.
"Missing your drinks that much are we?" you asked, confidence and light natural seductive tone encompassing every fiber of your being.
Before raising the expensive crystal glass in your hand and taking a swallow of the dark, clearly alcoholic substance in front of the irate, deprived man.
You didn't usually drink very much, if at all, but this moment was an exception to the norm. After all, it was just another part of the perfect set up you had planned specifically for this night.
You walked forwards until you were standing right next to your boss and nearly in front of him, smirking to yourself as you watched the bloody crimson of his eyes follow the path of the liquor from the clear whiskey glass into your mouth and down your throat. Finishing off the contents of your glass you slowly lowered the crystal from your smirking lips, eyes never leaving the glaring man seated in the throne like chair below you as you raised your other hand and set its contents on the side table beside his chair.
The old bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite swished with a small thump as it settled upon the wooden side table with a clinking noise from the two fine crystalline glasses you had carried along with the bottle as you set them down besides the bottle as well.
You continued to lean forward so that your and your boss' foreheads were almost touching and his apathetic eyes were staring straight into your smirking ones.
"Buon Compleanno Xanxus."
The words left your lips sensually and you began to pull back. You'd accomplished what you'd come here for. Suddenly the retreat stopped as a rough hand fisted in the back of your hair, yanking you back slightly, before slamming you forwards onto rough domineering lips as the Varia's commander wrenched you closer. Oh, my.
You retaliated by leaning farther into the kiss and moving to wrap your arms around his head and pull him closer as well, settling into his lap as his other arm found and gripped your waist while the attack on your mouth remained relentless.
Oh, yes. It was totally worth tracking down each and every bottle of alcoholic substance in the Varia Mansion and confiscating it.
Totally.
F-ing.
WORTH IT.
So? How was it? I'm not to sure about the writing for this chapter, but I want to hear what you guys think... Again, I am so sorry about there being such a long delay! I'll to make sure that doesn't happen again! Please Review and Request! I really want to hear your opinions and thoughts on this story~THANK YOU ALL!
I actually did some research for this one on various types of expensive alcohol;
Chateau Lafite 1787 - $160,000; this is a red wine from Frace, the most expensive bottle of this wine ever sold went for about $160,000 at auction and was once owned by Thomas Jefferson.
While I did find some more expensive alcoholic substances in my search, most of those had prices influenced by the make of the bottles themselves, platinum silver dipped in 24K gold amd encrusted with over 6,500 brilliant cut diamonds etc., and not on the worth or taste of the actual alcohol which Xanxus would probably care more about anyways. The alcohol bottle I am referring to above is Henri IV Dudognon Heritage which costs around $2 million. I do suggest looking this up on Google. The bottle is really quite remarkable.
By the way, Xanxus' birthday is...October 10th, had to look that up. I used his birthday, because otherwise it would have to have been Christmas, I felt like that was too seasonal and what not.
Thank you for all your reviews and Favorites and Alerts! They are the reason I came back to this even after so long!
Reviews: YaoiRules92 Thanks! Sorry this one took so long to get out. I'm glad you liked it! animelover41195 Italian=spaghetti among other things. Thanks! I'm glad you liked! Murasaki KuroNeko Rei Okay...Verde has been added to the request list! Yes, I'm actually keeping a list now. Thanks for your review! I'm really glad you liked it! Good luck on getting away form Reborn~! Amazing Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it! I'll try to get a Giotto fic out sometime soon! Sun Bun Reborn really is a womanizer isn't he? Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! A Hole in Your Socks That's good to know. I'll try to work on some First Generation shots as well then. I agree about putting more love in them though, I think I've gone a little to far towards Humor on a few of these, but romance with an infant Reborn would have been kind of weird. Bianchi... ezcap1st Thanks! I'm glad I did well on Reborn's character. Your right about the ending though. It seemed sad to me until the third time I read it throught and then it seemed funny...and then i got annoyed and want to hit myself. I'll just blame my mind, it does things like that. Thanks for your review! HPTICP Fan Thanks! ^.^- Bl00dElf Is there really anyother way to start off a chapter with Squalo?
