Chapter 16: 'Fran kills Lussuria'

The Varia did not often watch youtube, but in light of the recent youtube activity in Vongola HQ... it wasn't too shocking. This time, it was Lussuria who found the video. His wails could be heard throughout the manor. Knowing the Maui Thai fighter's personality, the rest of the Varia guardians trooped into his room. Wordlessly, he hit the replay button. It showed Fran, with the same voice as the 'Varia Guyyyy!' video ranting. However, Lussuria represented the mother. At first, the Varia silently thought it fit. Then came the moment when 'Fran' killed 'Lussuria.' "Ushishishi~ the Prince approves~," Bel laughed, contemplating patting the green haired boy one the head.

"VOOOOOOOOOOOOI! Lussuria, you'd better watch your back!" Squalo laughed/yelled, agreeing with Bel in his own, loud, way.

"Muo~! It's not funny Squ-chan!" Lussuria whined, squiggling a little in his chair.

"You're right," Levi began, poorly hiding his amusement as Lussuria's eyes lit up. "It's hilarious." The rest chuckled at the purely defeated look on the feminine man's face.

"I think it's just a stupid video some goof-ball made to make goof-ball's like you lot laugh," Fran said evenly, yet in such a way that it was hilarious and set the rest of the group off yet again.

"I agree with my replacement. I see no reason for your reactions," Mammon said, cloaking the camcorder in his hand with an impenetrable illusion. Okay, so maybe Mukuro, Chrome, and possibly Fran could have seen through it, but they wouldn't say anything. Blackmail was what the Mist did third best. Torture and interrogation were the first and second things the Mist did best. Lussuria sniffled.

"You meanies! You don't care about me! You wouldn't care if I were dead!" he cried before fleeing the room, presumably headed toward his training room. Or the Vongola Mansion to spar with Ryohei. Or complain to Tsuna. Really there were only three choices. Unless he decided to try cooking again... oh crud! The Varia, minus Mammon and Xanxus; who hadn't even bothered to see what the ruckus was this time, rushed to defend their precious kitchen from the horror that was Lussuria. Lussuria, contrary to popular belief, couldn't cook to save a life and often ended up doing one of two things, and on a few sad occasions both of said things: blow up the kitchen or mentally, physically, and emotionally scar pretty much everyone in the mansion at the time of his attempt. Mammon simply floated in the Sun Guardian of the Varia's room and chuckling madly to himself. How much would Vongola pay to keep this off the internet? He could see it now. 'Varia, the feared assassination squad: overgrown children with mother complexes? Laughter sweeps the world as video evidence is found on the web, of all places, that the Varia is little more that a group of dysfunctional children.' Oh yes, Vongola would pay to keep that from happening. Ah, blackmail, the best way to make money. It was simple, yet dangerous, and never expired... most of the time. The title of the video that started all this? Why, it should be obvious. It was titled, 'Fran Kills Lussuria.'

A/N: well? Good, bad, okay, OMG THIS IS AWESOME PLEASE MAKE MORE? Oh, and I have about six chapters planned out after this. If you have any ideas after the '21' chapter (meaning the one that says 21) I will put them down in the order they came and likely link them together, like I will with 18-20. Until next time, may your muse frolic!
