Chapter 2

Alarmed at the amount of killing intent in the air, green eyes shot open. Glancing across the room, green eyes met furious red ones. Myst could read several emotions swirling in his boss' eyes. Confusion, slight panic but the most dominant of them all, anger.

After several seconds that felt like an eternity, Myst leapt to the side and avoided crashing into the coffee table by a hair's breathe. Xanxus threw another punch. The years inside the ice had barely affected the man's fighting abilities. If anything, to Myst who had never seen the man fight before, it seemed like the man was not affected by his time in the ice.

Myst ducked another hit, dodged another kick then did an aerial backflip to prevent Xanxus' mile long legs from knocking him down. In the process, they demolished a total of one medical bed, a sofa and the coffee table that previously held several medical equipment that would've had seriously injured the both of them if they continued the fight.

"Trash, who are you? Where are the shark trash and the other scum?" Crimson eyes flashed with all the lethality of a tiger.

"Hello boss, I'm the new Cloud Officer and others were supposed to be here when you woke up. We didn't expect you to wake up this early nor did they expect to be detained this long. And," glancing at the elder Myst grimaced, "can we do this without a syringe pointed at me?"

"No. Explain," growled out Xanxus, only slightly mollified at the prospect of a long overdue explanation and the submissive behavior.

"Well, as I said, my name is Myst and I am the VARIA's new Cloud Officer that isn't that new. I've been in the VARIA for about four years and that would be four years after you were frozen."

Swiftly doing the math, Xanxus exploded, "Are you telling me scum, that I was in that thrice damned ice for eight years and the trashes failed to get me out for eight f***ing years!"

"Woah, calm down. For about three years after the coup, the scrutiny from the Main House made it impossible for any of the VARIA to operate and then they needed to find a decent Cloud cause you can't melt the Zero Point Breakthrough without all six flames excluding the Sky. I only got here four years ago and I only recently passed my trial and became a full- fledged officer. We really came as soon as possible."

"Trash, what about Nicolai? I had a goddamn Cloud right there, they could have got me out as soon as the security got lax. Tell me the truth."

Holding his hands up, Myst exclaimed, "I swear I ain't lying! Nicolai, my predecessor was killed in the coup when you were sealed. They had no other decent source of flames that could match up to the rests' purity or strength until I was trained!"

Once again, green clashed with red. After another moment of judgment, Xanxus relaxed.

"Fine, you said that the others were coming?"

Tension was released from Myst's shoulders, "Yes boss, they should be coming around between now and tomorrow. They have to make sure they're undetected and erase any possible evidence I could have left that could lead the CEDEF or the Main House here."

"Hmph, get me some wine, trash," Xanxus growled, looking like a king fro the way he was sprawled over the battered sofa.

"Yes boss!" Myst replied. Never so glad that Squalo had enough insight to stock the cottage with alcohol as he ran to the cabinet in the bathroom where all the alcoholic beverages, including wine, was stored.

Panting, Belphegor eagerly ran forward in ecstasy as the events of the past few days caught up to him.

He got to spill blood, they were successful in rescuing boss, he sabotaged Levi's car so he would be the last one to arrive, he got to spill more blood, Lussuria and the loud shark was stuck together, he got to spill even more blood!

Ushishishi!

Now, he was on his way to see his boss for the first time in forever, there'll will... right, wrong story. Anyway, he got to see his boss who's been MIA for the last eight years and would soon be able to annoy his kouhai!

Fallen branches snapped easily under his custom made white boots as he jumped forward towards his destination with a grace that would make ballerinas jealous.

Cackling madly again, the infamous Prince made his way over to the cottage where his boss and kouhai awaited.

Soon, soon, he would be meeting the man who had his loyalty and his gattino at the same time.

Meanwhile, a certain ravenette shuddered from the apprehension that just washed over him. He truly hoped that it would be the long haired commander or Mama Luss who would arrive first so he would have an ally and a mediator between him and boss.

Sadly, his wish was not to be granted. Then again, when had Lady Luck ever smiled at Myst? Or it could be his currently unknown Potter Luck working its magic.

Aaaand, that ladies and gentlemen is the newest chapter of MoV! A huge thanks to all my readers and reviewers who gave me inspiration and motivation to write, I am so glad that there are actually people who enjoyed this! Another thanks to those who waited for me to write again, I know that my usual stories were about books not manga and many previous readers might not be familiar with KHR but you still read this!

On that note, all I can say about Myst's (Harry's) past, the pairings and harmonization is all will be revealed in due time.

Or not!

Harmonization is a spoiler that I can't answer but the rest of the questions can be answered by the specifics of the challenge issued (HP x Xanxus, etc.)
