I just stared at her. She was adorable. "You're Lux, right?" She questioned. "Oh, yes I am. Who are you?" "I'm Chrome. Mukuro-sama was right when he said that you were pretty." She smiled making me blush. "Chikusa, demon girl is blushing!" Ken yelled. Chrome looked back at him. "Why are you calling Lux-sama demon girl?" Ken was taken aback. "It's alright Chrome." I reassured her. She turned to me and smiled.
"Oh, Mukuro-sama wanted me to give you a message." Chikusa said. "He wanted you to protect Chrome and to not disappoint at the battles." I nodded. "I'll take good care of Chrome. She's like a younger sister. Oh, and don't worry about the battles." Soon after, we parted our ways and left.
I went to Tsuna's but he wasn't here. Nana told me that he was training for the sumo competition. Even though I was ready for the ring battles, everyone else had to train. I was pretty bored for the next couple of days.
Reborn was in my kitchen making a drink. "Good morning, Lux. Have you been bored these past couple of days?" "Very bored but I think that you're going to change that." Reborn smirked. "The Varia is here and unfortunately, the battles start tonight." "Thank you for giving me such a long notice to get ready. Is everyone ready?" "You don't have to worry about them. They've grown a lot. See you at the battles." Reborn left.
When night hit, I put on my black cloak that I found. It had a white X at the right corner. I skipped down to school and waited for everyone to show up. From the boxing arena I saw, it was going to be the sun battle tonight. Tsuna and the others ran at school. "W-who's that?!" "I'll take care of him, Jyuudaime!" Gokudera yelled. "Gokudera, take a closer look at him." Reborn said. They saw my side and Gokudera was the first one to gasp.
"What is it Gokudera?" Tsuna asked. "It's that damn woman!" "Who?" I turned and smiled. "Lux-chan?! What are you doing here?! It's too dangerous and you'll die!" Tsuna yelled at me as he ran to me. "Tsuna-san, what kind of guardian would I be if I was too weak to go against the Varia?" Everyone stopped and looked at me. "You're just some weak woman. What do you think you could do?" Gokudera threatened.
"It's an honor to finally meet you, Lux-sama." The Cervello bowed. "Stand and do your job." "Yes Lux-sama." Tsuna looked to me surprised. "They addressed you as 'sama' like Xanxus was." Tsuna said rather confused. "I'm higher in the mafia than you would expect." I said. "How high are you?" "Let's just say I have a few titles that make a lot of people run." Their mouths dropped.
Ryohei soon jumped into the ring with Luss. As the battle began, I watched as Ryohei kept getting hurt since the bright lights blinded him. Reborn handed me a pair of glasses. Ryohei used the salt from his sweat to break the lights above. He opened his eyes and began to fight.
But Luss didn't let him up for too long. Kyoko came running and saw her brother on the ground. "You said that you wouldn't fight anymore!" She yelled at him. "His power is at 100%." Colonnello said. When Ryohei got up, he delivered the finishing blow, breaking the metal knee and making him invalid to battle anymore. Yet, Luss was very persistent. And knowing how the Varia is, Luss was shot down.
"What's going on?" Yamamoto asked. "Kill the weak." Reborn said. "This is one reason as to why the Varia is as strong as it is." "Hey! Hang in there!" Ryohei said. The Cervello intervened and deemed that Luss was unable to continue fighting. "The next ring battle is lightening." They vanished as the arena broke. Kyoko ran and asked what Ryohei was really doing. Fortunately, Yamamoto and Gokudera said that it was a sumo contest and that it was a hybrid type of sumo. Kyoko bought it and went home with Hana and Ryohei.
I went home soon after and slept. The next day at school, I was meditating through class. Even though the teacher would get pissed off, I still meditated and stored power for my match.
We met at the roof where the lightening battle would be. I had the cloak on as everyone had umbrellas. I didn't want to risk getting electrocuted by Levi or from the conditions. Lambo walked started to walk out to the field till Tsuna stopped him. But Lambo being Lambo he didn't take heed for the warning. Instead, he walked on the field and asked the Cervello how the playground worked.
When the battle started, Levi attacked Lambo with his Levi Volta. Everyone was worried except for me. I knew that Lambo could take large amounts of electricity. Lambo started to cry startling everyone since they all thought that he was dead. He pulled out the bazooka and jumped inside. The bazooka went off and there was an older Lambo eating pot stickers. "I-I'm sorry Lambo. You're younger self couldn't handle it." Tsuna said. "It's not your fault." He stood up and put his attention towards Levi.
Lambo put the horns on and called lightening down bypassing the poles. "He can do this because of his physiology." Reborn said. Levi attacked Lambo again. I knew that even Lambo ten years older than how he was couldn't withstand that much electricity. Lambo fell after but Lambo jumped into the bazooka again. This time, a Lambo 25 year old stood.
"It's been a long time since I was summoned by the 10-year bazooka." Lambo commented. "I-is that really the stupid cow?" Gokudera asked. "Of course he is." I replied. "Lambo seems really dependable." Tsuna said. Lambo turned around and smiled at us. "Meeting you again…It's been such a long time." He said. Tsuna and Gokudera were confused. "I'd like to cry, but it's no time to be sentimental. That brutish looking-one is glaring at me." Lambo turned back to Levi.
"It doesn't matter who you are, I will kill you." Levi said. "It seemed like the old me struggled with you. But that won't happen with me." Levi did his Levi Volta move on Lambo. Tsuna started to panic. The umbrellas opened up and started to charge. Lambo's composure was calm. He knew what he was doing. Then, the electricity shocked him. Levi turned around stating, 'he's dead'.
When the lightning cleared, Lambo was still standing. His hand charged with electricity. "Elettrico reverse!" Lambo punched the ground. "Electricity is like a little kitten to me. I've created the perfect elettrico cuoio." Lambo commented. "He really is a lightning rod." Reborn said.
"He's better than I expected." Everyone turned and was surprised to see Iemitsu. "I gambled on his potential to bloom as a great guardian." He continued.
I continued to watch the battle, ignoring all of the talking. Lambo noticed the horns on the ground and picked them up. Levi ran and attacked him but Lambo dodged the attacks. The horns in his hands had a shell that broke. Lambo took the horns off and put the ones in his hands on. "They feel much better than my spare horns. Now I can use my full power."
The lightning came down onto Lambo with a flash of red. Lambo got down into his fighting pose and ran towards Levi. Mammon mentioned that there was one fatal weakness and that it was that you had to be hit by the horns. Yet, Lambo was much stronger than everyone anticipated. He stretched the attack surprising Levi. Levi had to defend himself using his sword like weapons. For a while, it seemed like Lambo was winning, till the old Lambo came back and electrocuted himself using his electricity.
Levi got up and walked towards Lambo. "As I thought, you are not worthy of being the lightning guardian." Levi said. He picked Lambo up by the head. "Die and disappear!" Ryohei, Gokudera, and Yamamoto ran towards the field till Reborn told them not to. They would be disqualified. I wanted to go in but I had two rings that I was risking; not just one like everyone else has.
Lambo was dropped to the ground. Levi took his weapon out and was going to attack Lambo. It was killing me on the inside to look. But before I lost it and went into the field, Tsuna destroyed the field. Reborn and I smirked till we all heard Xanxus tell Tsuna to shut up. Xanxus attacked Tsuna with his flame, sending him flying a couple of feet. The Cervello tried to intervene but Xanxus attacked her. My hands trembled as they formed into fists.
I couldn't hear anything anymore. My anger was at an all-time high. All I wanted to do was beat Xanxus to a bloody pulp. Hearing Xanxus with his speech was infuriating. Reborn noticed this and knew that this was bad. I looked straight at Xanxus. My eyes were full of hatred and disgust. I left for home. "Lux-chan, where are you going?" Tsuna asked me. "Leave her alone, Tsuna. After what Xanxus said, she's feeling betrayed and hurt. But mostly she angry about what he did about the ninth." Reborn said.
"Eh? Why would she feel like that and how does she know the ninth?" Tsuna asked. "Focus on Lambo now." Reborn said changing the subject.
On the way home, I punched several large holes in the concrete walls. When I went inside my house, I drank tea and went to bed. "Why would he do something like that? If I get a chance, I'm going to kill him." I said as I drifted off into sleep.
The next morning, I didn't do anything. I just stayed in bed staring at the celling. After getting the strength to move, I went for a walk to clear my head. Unfortunately, it didn't work because I ran into someone. "VOI, watch where you're walking!" I looked up and saw Squalo. "What are you doing?!" He yelled. "I'm trying to clear my head." I simply said. "Why aren't you training instead?" "I don't need to train idiot."
"VOI, don't call me an idiot!" "I can call you whatever I want to." He growled. "So you think you can win against our moon guardian?" He asked. "Do you think you can win against me?" "Stop being a smartass. Our moon guardian is the strongest moon users in Italy." I couldn't help but smirk at him. "Well he hasn't seen what I can do." "Don't get cocky. We all fought against you and your weak."
"I made a promise with the ninth to not use my full power till I learn to control it. I used to have full control when I was a child and sill living with grandpa." "So you don't have control?" "I didn't till I got hit in the head pretty hard." His eye slightly twitched.
"Why are you out and about? Did your trash of a boss send you out?" Squalo's mouth dropped to the ground. "W-what did you just call our boss?" "I called him trash." He suddenly took a hold of my hands and held them behind my back. "Oh great, you're going to bring me to him." I said with full sarcastic excitement. "You bet your ass. And when I tell him what you called him, he'll kill you." I only sighed and started to walk as Squalo pushed me.
He pushed me into a room where it was noisy. "VOI, shut up!" Squalo yelled. They stopped and noticed me. "Why do you have the peasant woman?" Bel asked. "She's going to pay for what she called boss." "What did she call him?!" Levi asked. "I called him trash. In fact all of you are trash as well. But Xanxus is probably lower than any scum and trash I know." They remained quiet out of fear as Xanxus walked in.
"Scum, why did you bring her here?" Xanxus asked. "I called you scum." The Varia couldn't believe that I called him scum. "That's all you called me? From the look you gave me yesterday, it looked as if you were going to kill me." Xanxus replied. "I'm actually glad Squalo is holding my hands right now or else they'd be around your neck strangling you till every last bit of oxygen has left your body." "Trash, tie her up."
Levi was the first to move for the rope. "I'm not letting you touch me." I told Levi. Squalo took the rope and tied me up. "You might want the chains as well. I can easily break out of rope." I said. Squalo got chains and tied those around me. Xanxus looked down at me and smirked. "You look much better."
"And you still look like an ass." "Hey, don't talk to boss like that!" Levi yelled. "Stay out of it trash." Both Xanxus and I said at the same time. "VOI, what's with her anyway and why is she allowed to call you trash?" Squalo asked. Xanxus and I were in a middle of a heated staring contest.
Xanxus took a hold of the chain and dragged me to his bedroom. He shut the door and turned to look at me. "Get out of the rope and chains." I nodded as the rope and chains dropped at my feet. There was an awkward silence between us. "Are you sure that you won't join me?" "I'm sure as I could be. After what I saw and heard, I'm not sure what to think of you anymore." He sighed and took a drink or his whiskey. "I should say the same thing."
"You always used to say that you wanted to be my right hand woman when I was boss of the Vongola. Now you refuse to join me." "I-I was a child. Plus, you were the only one that I had to talk to, someone to look up to." I said embarrassed. There was nothing spoken after. I stayed in the room for a couple of hours lying on the bed. "They're wondering what's happening." "They probably I either killed you or fucked you." "Well please let them know that you didn't fuck me so they don't think I'm a slut." He opened the door slightly making everyone fall inside.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked them. "W-what did you do to the boss?!" "I did nothing to him moron." I told Levi. "He'd usually kill you or fuck you!" "Well he didn't do anything to me and I didn't do anything to him." "Then why are you lying on the bed?" "I got tired and lied down and can't you see that my clothes are still intact and it doesn't smell like sex in here." I looked to Xanxus who had a poker face.
"Do they even know about us, Xanxus?" He shook his head no. "Squalo, don't you remember me?" He looked right in my eye. "You don't look familiar." "How does being Xanxus's right hand women sound to you?" He gasped. "VOI! Is it really you?!" I shook my head. "How do you know her Squalo?" Bel asked. "We used to have to babysit her ass when she was a kid!" "I'd call it more like you guys spending time with me."
"No we didn't!" Squalo yelled. "Yes it was." Xanxus said. "VOI, why are you siding with her?!"
"I was raised by Nono."
"Making her my sister."
