A/N: Ciaossu, Minna-san! Using my computer lesson to do this chpt now as I probably won't have enough time to finish it later at home...

Saa, let's all cheer as this story has just reach it's 20TH CHPT! YAY!

By the way, just for additional information, this story of mine is like half a year old already! I'm so proud! ^^

Also, thank you Midori the Matchmaker for the PM, I'm so touched that my story actually deserves people's waiting... *tears*

And my sister still tells me that no one likes my story because the characters are OOC and my grammar sucks and all...

So well, before I hurry back to whatever I still got in my hands, I'll finish with this chpt first! *Dying will Mode*

Disclaimer: KHR is not mine, it's Amano's, face the fact!

Where the story left off...

It has been a month after Xanxus and Meridionale's wedding. And this day, the girl had gone home to visit her famiglia. leaving the rest of the Varia in the living room. And that was when Bel stabbed the ceiling, causing smokes to come out and filled the whole room...

"Ushishi... What is with all this smoke, peasant?"

"VOI! We're under attack you piece of crap Prince! Shut the fuck up and find your way out of all these fucking smoke!" Squalo's loud voice was heard echoing through all the smoke.

"Haaaaaiiii~ Commander..." Fran responded while still covering his trembling ears with his hands.

It shouldn't be that hard to get out of all this smoke... Fran thought to himself as he start making his way wandering around in the middle of, apparently nowhere. Okay... maybe I don't exactly know where I am. But if I just keep walking, maybe I'll- Itai! Fran clutched his head that got hit by the wall behind all the smoke. Okay, maybe it IS very hard after all...

( Fran )

Hmm, who is it?

( Yare yare you little brat... Can't even identify me with my voice... )

Mammon-san?

( Bingo, but that was still a pretty late answer. )

How is Me suppose to know that you can come inside my mind?

( I AM the world's most powerful spell caster for a reason. *Sigh* No wonder Bel call's you 'Stupid Frog'... )

Hey, hey. Me-tachi are in the middle of some smoke and currently considered lost here... Can we don't change the subject at a time like this?

( *Sigh* Fine... I'll tell you, Fran. These smokes aren't just normal smokes. They are made with Mist-classed flame. )

So all this smoke is just an illusion?

( No. They are real, but there's a slight hint of Mist flame inside it. Causing people to lost their way in it. )

So if Me-tachi continue to wander around here, we're just going to get ourselves more and more lost?

( Pretty much... )

And you got any ideas on how to get out of here?

( I do. But I won't be so sure about you and the others. I'm the world's best illusionist. Some illusions of this standard is a piece of cake for me. But what about you, newbie? )

Hey, mind your words. Me is after all your inheritor and Master Mukuro's student. Don't over-underestimate Me.

( Well, then I'll feel safe about letting you get out of all this smoke by yourself then. I'm still going to get in contact with the rest so I'll be leaving now... )

Fran heard Mammon's voice fading as his presence vanish along with it, so he guessed that the Mist Arcobaleno had already left his brain.

"Great, and master told me that seeing through illusions is not easy. Guess he's not that tough after all." the youngest Varia mumbled as he started making his way again. "Stupid smoke, stupid master... Should Me pray to God now? Seeing that no one is actually helpful... Itai." the said froggy landed on his butt as he knocked into another wall. "Well, just wandering around doesn't seem to be doing any good, so what now? Shishou~, dasukete..."

...Hidden within an illusion there's another illusion. Born within an illusion is another illusion. Lies hidden within the truth. Truth hidden within the lies. This is the Mist...

"Illusions within illusions... Hmmm, this may be dumb but let's just try it anyway, seeing Me has no better idea." Fran whispered as he got himself back on his feet. He started creating an illusion himself. An illusion of an electric fan, blowing away all the smoke in his way, and soon the visions of the corridor entered his view.

This has got to be the stupidest idea ever... Fran thought before he saw Mammon floating at the end of the hallway.

"Wow, what do you know? It actually worked... If that's not an illusion..." the boy said under his breath.

"Hey, Mammon-san." Fran greeted as he made his way towards his senior.

"Fran, I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I'm actually quite glad that you made your way out of all that smoke. It seem's that I wasn't able to contact with the rest, most probably had gotten themselves lost in the all that illusion is my guess." Mammon said as he landed on Fran's head with the help of Phantasma.

"Mammon-san, this isn't time for jokes," Fran said, completely not serious with his senior's words. "Me isn't really sure about Luss and Levi, but Sempai and Taichou should be experienced enough to see through that kind of illusion."

"Yes, but like I said before, this isn't normal illusion. Normal illusion is to make their enemy feel, see, hear, or smell things that aren't there. But now, this smoke is real, just with a bit of Mist flame inside it. Under normal circumstances, if the enemy is aware that they are experiencing an illusion, it will have no effect on them and does not exist. But now they know that the smokes are real, so probably have no awareness of the Mist flame hidden inside it and got themselves fooled by the illusion."

"Okay... so what's going to happen to them then?"

"Who knows? I also dad no idea where they'll be lead to by all the illusions. But let's just hope that they'll find some way to deal with whatever that's ahead of them by themselves. Meanwhile let's go back in again, maybe we'll meet some of them inside. There's no point of staying here anyway."

"Whatever you say, Mammon-san."

-Lussuria-

Mou~ It's gotten awfully quiet around here... I can't even hear Squ-chan's yells anymore.

But I can't really tell where I am right now because of all this smoke. Mou, why isn't it clearing yet?

Seriously, all the walls seemed to disappear somehow... I'm pretty sure there's a wall here, but... nothing?

Oh my, I wonder how long have I been wondering around here already... And I don't really know where our intruder is so I better stay on my guard so I'll be ready when he suddenly made an attack...

A cracking sound was heard and Lussuria turned his head around, trying to define where it came from. But then there it is, again. This time Lussuria confirmed that it was coming from the floor.

What the- Is it an earthquake? It can't possibly happen at a time like this, it's just too wrong! Perhaps it's an illusion...?

Yes! That makes so much sence now. If this is all an illusion then it means...

"Ara, that took you pretty long to figure out." an unfamiliar yet quite familiar voice sliced throught the silence.

"Who is there?" the Varia Sun questioned as he hold his position.

"Haha, impatient aren't you? Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to settle this out." the voice that seemed to be echoing from all different directions said as the floor started cracking again. And that is when it finally broke and won't be able to give support to the weight above it anymore.

Oh dear... Lussuria lost his footing and started to fall. Deeper and deeper. The broken remains of the floor fell along with him. He can't really tell where he is now. It's like a world of darkness and voicelessness... Into a world of nothingness...

But, not yet.

"This type of illusion isn't going to fool me, my dear." Lussuria challenged the owner of the voice as he stood in the middle of nothing. "As soon as I realise this is an illusion, I won't be falling for it anymore."

"Ara, that's something good to hear." the voice spoke with amusement in his voice. "I'm expecting some entertainments from this after all. Or else it'll just be boring."

"If you wish for entertainments, why don't you come out and let us have a little something here?" the Varia's Mama asked as he smiled, or rather smirked. "Don't you think it won't be very fair to fight like this?"

"Ahaha, that doesn't really matter to me." the voice answered. "After all, my battle here isn't the main point of our intrusion. Now I guess this will just be boring after all. I still got other business to do after settling you."

"I may not know what you have in mind, my dear. But one thing I can assure you is that you're not going to settle me that easily."

"I don't think so~" the voice faded just before a bunch of snakes came charging towards the Varia Sun Guardian, wrapping themselves around him, forcing him unable to move. Lussuria tried getting the snakes off him, but he could hardly move his arm, the snakes had tangled on it. No matter how much he tried to move the snakes just won't get away from him. And it became worse when he lost control of his perception and make him started falling again.

But even when falling, his mind still did not stop functioning...

... "Our?" ...

-Levi-

Tch, I've been wondering in here for ages! What's with all this smoke? It is delaying my 'help Bossu as his Right-Hand man' time!

Just you wait you pity little intruder! Screw you! Screw you AND your stupid smoke! Once I got myself out of all this I swear that I'll make you have hell to pay!

"Tsk tsk. I won't be so sure about that." someone's voice was heard from behind and so Levi turned his head to meet face to face with a mask-wearing guy. The mask was white, covering the whole of his face, leaving only the eyes uncovered. Despite the mask, he was still wearing a hooded, black cloak.

"Finally showing yourself, huh?" the Varia Thunder Guardian glared at the intruder, taking out one of his parabolas and started charging it with Thunder flame, ready to attack anytime.

"Oh no, you don't." the guy under the mask said. But before Levi could even get a hold of what he had said, he had already dropped his weapon.

What ?!

He felt the pain coming from his hand and looked down on it. His hand was bleeding, the back of it was already covered with red liquid. And he has to admit, it was painful. Not like he's ever going to say it out though. He is a Varia. They don't show their weakness.

He glared at his enemy again and that is when he noticed that the guy had a gun, revolver to be exact, in his hand, along with some smokes coming out from it. That should explain the injury on his hand.

"Tsk tsk, too reckless." the guy scowled as he kept away his gun under that long sleeve of his.

"You- YOU!" Levi spat out. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" he picked up his dropped parabola and charged towards his opponent once again.

"Guess some people just never learn..." the masked-man said as he continued standing there. With complete no intention of dodging of escaping.

How foolish. Levi thought as he stabbed through his opponent with his parabola charged with Thunder-class flame. He smirked, thinking he had killed his opponent. But the feeling of accomplishment didn't last long as he heard a gunshot and the next thing he knows, his right chest is already bleeding.

"What the-? How-?" he questioned before letting go of his parabola and fell onto the ground head first. He clutched his wound in pain as he watch his opponent pull out his parabola and threw it onto the floor like some trash.

"How pathetic, you're not even worth my time." the guy said as he vanished in the cloud of smokes, leaving a bloody Thunder Guardian on the floor, wondering...

WHAT are you?
