A/N: Hello! I'm back. Like I said, I'll update this story very fast ( & hopefully in character ) for the sake of letting the readers have a better understanding of what is going on in the story. Another reason is that, I don't want to take so long and after I post the new chpt, you guys will be thinking things like: WTH? So long already you only wrote something like this? Ya, so that's that...
I'm so happy I received reviews in just one day! I also would like to thank those people who added this story into their favourite/alert story list.
Now, on with the story...
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR.
"Ushishishi. Froggy, you're finally back!" Bel cried as he swung his arms around Fran's neck. "Did you come here to specially visit the Prince?"
"Don't be stupid, fake-prince senpai." Fran said in his monotone. "Me came because of this." Fran held up the unfolded letter.
"Mu, that's the invitation that I sent out." Mammon said as he floated into the room.
"Ushishishi. Seems like that stupid pineapple-haired master of yours had let you see the letter already."
"Ya, and nice way to write an invitation, you stupid senpai."
"Ushishishi" Bel laughed his signature laugh as he took out his knives and threw then at Fran's frog hat. "The Prince write an invitation the way a Prince wants. And don't you dare insult the Prince, you stupid frog."
"Senpai, itai desu."
"Maa maa" Lussuria said as he came out from the kitchen, still wearing the pink apron. "Since Fran-chan is here already, why don't we fill him up with information regarding tomorrow?"
"What's going to happen tomorrow?" Fran asked, not sounding very interested in knowing the answer, just want to know it for the sake of knowing it.
"Ushishi. Can you sound more curious than that?"
"Sorry, senpai. Me don't think so."
"Tomorrow we're going to pay the Fiancata Famiglia a visit. And of course, mainly the girl." Mammon answered Fran's question, stopping the little argument between them.
"Aww~ so that's it." Fran said sarcastically. "Me can't wait to see what Boss' soon-to-be-wife looks like."
"We had already seen her before in the picture the Ninth showed us." Lussuria added.
"She looks like this." Mammon replied, creating an illusion of Meridionale.
"Fran, do take note that our lives might be changed due to this marriage." Mammon reminded Fran as the illusion disappeared.
Fran nodded before asking his second question.
"So... hows the long hair Taichou doing?"
The room was with silent until Lussuria finally answered the question.
"Squ-chan had been very quiet lately, not like his usual self. He must have been very concerned about this whole thing."
"Ya, and so are we." Bel added as he laid his head on Fran's frog hat.
"Let's just wait for tomorrow." Mammon said as he floated away. "It's not as if we could change anything by just discussing about it."
Squalo stared outside the window in his room. He had been doing this since the day the Ninth announced to them about the marriage between his boss and the sister of the Fiancata Famiglia. He should feel happy for his boss, no? But why does he feel that something's wrong? Maybe because the girl is from a famiglia that had a war with them for almost one month. Or that his life may be changed because of this. Or probably that he's just not used to having new member with them. Which one it is, Squalo's not even sure himself. But one thing for sure is that he hate this weird feeling inside him that just won't leave him alone for the past few days. Squalo is so frustrated with this feeling that he can't even concentrate on training!
Squalo finally snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" he replied lazily, not even looking away from the window.
The door opened as Dino stepped in, Romario following behind him.
"Squalo" Dino called out the shark's name seeing that he didn't even bothered to turn around to face him.
"Oh, so it's you, Bucking Horse. What do you want?" Squalo asked, not very politely, as he finally looked away from the window that he had been staring at for the past few hours.
"I... heard the news, Squalo." Dino hesitated before finally giving his answer.
"And so?"
"Well, I... come to see how you're doing..."
"Those two things completely don't have any link, you Bucking Horse." Squalo said as he got more and more irritated.
"Well, there is." replied Dino, trying to keep calm. "Your boss is getting married. Of course you'll be affected, one way or another."
"Whatever that's going to happen to me is none of your business." Squalo replied rudely as he turned back to stare outside the window.
"Haha, Squalo, don't be like that." Dino laughed as he took a seat next to Squalo. "I'm sure you're very depressed now."
"No, not at all. Why would I be?" Squalo questioned as he continued to stare outside.
"Well..." Dino thought for a while before he gave his answer. "you certainly had been pretty quiet. That's not like you."
Squalo kept quiet and pretended not to hear Dino, so the Cavallone boss take that as a sign to continue with his speech.
"And I'm sure you know this: when your boss gets married, it will change not only his life. But also you along with the rest of the Varia and even the whole famiglia. And none of us is sure if these changes will bring us advantages or disadvantages."
"So what?" Squalo asked. "It has already been decided. It's not as if we could change anything. He just have to do this for the famiglia's sake. We cannot do anything to prevent any of these from happening. " he paused. "And besides," he continued, facing Dino. "even if it does change our lives and brings us disadvantages, I'll handle them. I'll somehow find one way or another to solve whatever problems there might be."
Dino smiled as Squalo finished his speech before standing up. "Well, that's good to hear, I guess. But do remember, Squalo. If you ever need any help, it's okay to ask."
"Tch, I'll never need any help from you." Squalo replied and turned to face the window. Again.
"Haha, still the proud swordsman you are huh? Well, guess that will never change." Dino laughed.
Guess I'll just come here myself when you really need help then.
"Ya ya, whatever. Can you get out now and leave me alone?" Squalo asked impatiently.
"Haha, okay I'll leave. Bye then, Squalo." Dino waved goodbye to Squalo, who ignored it, and made his way towards the door.
The next day, the Varia arrived at the Fiancata mansion like they were told to, and was brought into the main hall by the Fiancata boss' Storm Guardian, Assalto.
"Please wait here for the others to arrive." Assalto said as he left them in the room before leaving to get the others.
The Varias made themselves comfortable in the room. Bel was sitting on a couch with Mammon in his arms. Fran sat beside Bel on the floor. Squalo sat beside Bel on the couch. Lussuria and Levi shared another couch opposite of the other one. Xanxus was sitting lazily on an armchair in front of the table with his eyes closed.
The atmosphere was extremely tensed as the guardians stared at their boss. No body dared to make any sound. They all kept quiet until they heard footsteps.
They all turned towards the door as it opened to reveal 7 people. 6 men and 1 girl.
"Ah, I see you guys had all arrived." said a man with short, black hair as they made their way towards them. "It's a pleasure to meet you all." he bowed curtly. "I'm Settentrionale, the boss of the Fiancata Famiglia, and the older brother of Meridionale."
Everyone turned to examine Settentrionale. He's neither too tall nor too short. He has fringe that touches his eyebrow and baby blue eyes. He had his left hand placed on the girl beside him.
"And this is Meridionale. I'm sure you all recognise her from the picture the Ninth boss of Vongola showed you." Settentrionale said as he introduced his younger sister to the Varias.
"Meridionale is not only my sister, but also our Cloud Guardian." Settentrionale continued. "I'm sure you all will get to know more about her after she move in to live with you."
"WAIT!" Levi shouted as he stood up. "Nobody ever told us that she'll be living with us! We're just here to visit!"
"Fufu, I see that the Ninth didn't tell you this before-hand, so I guess I'll have to explain this to you now. We're giving you some time to work on your relationship before we decide on the actual date of the marriage. I'm sure you guys had heard about that, right? " Settentrionale looked at each Varia member and continued seeing them all nodded their heads. "So, in order for you guys to get to know and get adapted to live with one another better, we decided to let my dear sister, Meridionale, live with you guys for a while."
"Hmmmm, that does makes sense." Lussuria said.
"Ushishi, its common sense. The octopus is just too stupid to understand it." Bel laughed.
"What did you say, Bel?"
"Now now, before you guys started fighting, why not I introduce you to my guardians first?" Settentrionale said, successfully preventing Bel from throwing knives at Levi.
"I'm sure you guys already know my Storm Guardian, Assalto." the Varias turned to face a red-haired man with messy hair in a neat way. His eyes are a lighter shade of red compared to his hair. "He's my right-hand man and is in charge of all the paper works."
"He's totally different from you, Bel-senpai." Fran whispered to Bel. "You never bother to do the paper works."
"Ushishi, that's because I'm Prince and got other peasants to do them for me." Bel whispered back.
"Now this one over here is Lacrimare." a man with light-blue hair smiled at them. He also has bangs that touches his eyebrow and collar, along with black eyes. "He's my Rain Guardian and has a calm personality."
"Maybe you should learn how to be calm too, Squalo." Mammon said softly.
"Shut up." Squalo spoke as quietly as possible.
"This one is my Sun Guardian, Chiaro." the man with orange-brown hair waved. He has long bangs that joined at the centre of his face and spiky hair. "He's an expert at Karate."
"Now that's something different from that Sun Guardian of Sawada and Lussuria." Squalo pointed out.
"That little guy over there is Baleno, my Thunder Guardian." Settentrionale said, pointing at a man who is shorter than the rest with bangs and spikes at the back of his head. "He's a strong fighter despite his appearance and prefers doing things by one self."
"He really is a lot shorter than the others." Fran whispered.
"By at least a head." Bel added.
"Now, the last guardian. Caligine, my Mist Guardian." a with light purple hair stepped in front and bowed. His hair is long and tied behind him. "He's the illusionist of the group, but can also handle hand-to-hand combat."
"Ushishishi, Mammon you should learn how to hand-to-hand combat too." Bel teased.
"Shut up, Bel."
"Now," Settentrionale started his speech again. "why don't you guys introduce yourself?"
"Uhmp" Lussuria cleared his throat as he stood up. "Allow me to do the honour. I'm Lussuria, call me Luss-nee. I'm the Varia Sun Guardian and an expert at Muay Thai. This guy sitting beside me is Leviathan, the Thunder Guardian, very loyal to our boss. The little one sitting on the floor is Fran, our new Mist Guardian, disciple of Rokudo Mukuro, the Vongola Mist Guardian, and the inheritor of our former Mist Guardian, Mammon, also the Mist Arcobaleno. The one having Mammon in his hands is Belphegor, or Bel for short. He's also known as "Prince the Ripper", a genius in fighting. Squalo, the one sitting beside Bel, our second-in-command, the Second Sword Emperor. And last but not least, our boss, Xanxus." Lussuria said as he pointed at each and every member when they were mentioned.
"Fufu, Xanxus-kun, I'll be counting on you to take care of my dear Meridionale for me." Settentrionale said as he reached out his hand to Xanxus, who ignored it. Seeing that Xanxus didn't take his hand, Settentrionale just pulled his hand back before facing the rest of the Varias. "Well, why don't we chat for a while before you guys take you leave? I'm sure we need to know more about one another in order for us to work together in the future."
The others just nodded as the Fiancata guardians approach them...
