Hi, Lexi again. Sowy about the last chapter but it had to be done, I got the idea in my head and it had to be written down. So this is just a little (very random and OOC) Chinduggery which I've never written before so apologies in advance.

Disclaimer:

Lexi: Leo, have you forgiven me yet?

Leo: Mostlyimi

Lexi: Yay :)

Leo: But you're still not as fabulous as Derek Landy so you can't own Skully P

Lexi: Damn...on with the story

Boredom's Curse

Skulduggery sat with his feet up on the desk. He was spinning his hat around on one gloved finger and if he had any lips, he'd be chewing them. He was definitely bored. The Sanctuary had no jobs for him and Valkyrie was on a job with Tanith so even his own girlfriend couldn't distract him. Oh enough is enough he thought to himself as he swung his leg off the desk, jumping out of his chair, grabbing his jacket as he strode out the door. He stormed through corridor, not bothering to spare the Cleavers who guarded the entrance a glance. He unlocked the car and started the engine and raced off down the road.

The car pulled up outside Ghastly Bespoke's shop and Skulduggery got out the car, making sure to lock it before opening the door of the shop. Ghastly turned his scarred head and sighed as he saw his friend.

"Skulduggery" he said "What can I do for you?" he asked before narrowing his eyes slightly and folding his arms. "Have you ripped another one of my suits?" he asked accusingly. Skulduggery shook his head, putting his hands in his pockets.

"No, I just thought I'd come and say hello, it's been ages since we last talked" he explained while Ghastly frowned slightly.

"We talked yesterday" he said. Skulduggery cocked his head to the side.

"So we did" he contemplated, looking back to Ghastly. The tailor crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

"You got bored didn't you?" he asked resigned. Skulduggery shrugged as Ghastly sighed in defeat. "I'm sorry Skulduggery but you have to go. I'm really busy today." he said, turning back to his work as Skulduggery turned out the door. He drove off muttering to himself. He pulled up outside the library, hoping to kill some time with the hundreds of books. He walked through the door and inhaled the scent of all the old books. He walked slowly through the shelves, trailing his hand over the spines of the books. He was so engrossed with the books that he didn't see the person in front of him until it was too late. He crashed into a woman holding a stack of books which tumbled out her arms.

"Watch it!" she shouted, turning to face the idiot who hit her. "Oh, Skulduggery, what a Pleasant surprise" she purred, giggling at her pun, demeanour instantly changed.

"China" Skulduggery said, sounding unimpressed "I would apologise but its you so I fear it would be wasted." China pouted, feigning hurt and upset.

"Now, now that isn't very nice" she drawled, smiling as Skulduggery remained unimpressed. She grinned wider and stepped closer to Skulduggery, gripping the lapels of his jacket to pull him to her. She looked up at him and bit her lip in a very erotic manner. Skulduggery out his hands on her shoulder, attempting to push her away but she held on.

"China, what are you doing?" he asked suspiciously, not liking where this was going.

"Well" China said slowly, reaching under Skulduggery's shirt to touch the symbol causing a face to slide up his skull. "I'm planning to 'do' you" she said cheekily, smiling as Skulduggery's new eyes widened. He tried to pull away but China was too quick. She reached up and pressed her lips to his. His reaction was unexpected; he kissed her back. He moved his lips with hers, enjoying the way she gasped when he slipped his tongue into her mouth and the way she pressed her body to his. She broke away gasping for breath. She smiled up at him as he held her around the waist. She reached up and touched the symbol again, melting the face away, leaving bone. She glanced out the corner of her eye and smiled even wider.

"We have an audience" she whispered in his ear, smirking as Skulduggery turned his head and, if possible, his skull turned even whiter with shock and fear.
