Chapter 10
Varia's Childhood Dream(Or It Supposed To Be)
Feeling tired and uncharacteristically cross, Chrome Dokuro continued her search for Tsuna. I do like Boss, she reminded herself, even if it is his stupid notebook that's slowly and maliciously killing me. She glared (as best as the usual normal, docile, sane, Chrome Dokuro could) at the orange monstrosity in her hand. Several possibilities of just how she would return the notebook to her boss suggested themselves to her mind - her favorite being one where she stamped his forehead with the cover.
Chrome sighed shakily, no longer surprised by her thoughts. I should look into finding a psychiatrist, so that I'll have somewhere to go after this ordeal is over.
"Voiiii, Vongola Mist!"
Chrome sighed. "Maybe I should just check myself into an institution right now..."
Her legs muscles screamed for Chrome to run, but her mind told her that the attempt would be pointless. She didn't have the stamina to escape from Squalo; what's more, she was sure the curse hanging over the notebook would punish her severely for trying to thwart its bidding.
Instead, she turned her face to greet the Varia member, her sorrowful smile more like her old, happy, innocent self. "Hello, Squalo-san."
Squalo studied her with a disgusted gaze. "You look awful." he proclaimed.
"I feel awful." Chrome replied monotonously.
"Hm. If you sneeze on me, I'll skin you."
The thought that it's probably better to be skinned alive instead going trough all of this crossed her mind for a second, before she manage to reply with a small, "Yes, Squalo-san. Was there something you needed?"
"Hm? Yeah, Lussuria said that your idiot boss had a mission-"
"IT'SNOTA MISSION!"
Squalo took a step back, completely surprised, one eyebrow raised. Chrome frowned. "I... S-sorry, Squalo-san. You were saying?"
"...he had a mission to see who is the smartest guy in the Family. Damn, you really look awful."
"Thank you for noticing." Chrome put out her hand, revealing the orange notebook. "Here, read this. You'll understand."
Squalo's reaction was very like the others, Chrome thought. But, that's a little strange... Shouldn't Squalo be screaming and cursing as he usually does? It would make me more comfortable; right now, it's as if I'm waiting for a bomb to go off.
Then, it exploded. "VVVOOOIII!"
"AH!" Chrome covered her ears, trying to save them the pain of both the volume and language. Words flowed from Squalo's mouth that Chrome had never even heard MM or Ken use - Even Gokudera-san would wash his mouth with soap!
Then, Squalo did something strange: he laughed. And Chrome finally remembered that there wasn't anything particularly horrifying for one self-centered Varia member. So... he won't kill me? she thought, relieved. Then she frowned. Are those vulgar words his way of expressing happiness?!
When Squalo finally asked for a pen, Chrome was ready to comply. Another entry in this book of sin she thought, handing over the writing implement without a word. Who would have thought that a silly, 100 yennotebook could be used for such a disgraceful purpose – andmoreover, I take part onit!
Squalo scribbled furiously, quietly cackling as he did so. Then, marking the page with the pen, he slapped the cover closed and shoved it back into Chrome's hands. "There. That entry oughta prove my wits!"
"Sh-shall I read it?" Chrome asked, already expecting his answer.
To her surprise, Squalo scoffed at the offer. "Who the hell made you the judge? Read it if you want, but don't go giving ME suggestions." He glanced at his watch. "Voi! Gotta run; that jerk Xanxus stuck me with giving an exam to that new kid."
The mention of Xanxus made Chrome cringe. "Please, Squalo-san, don't mention this book to your boss. And please ask Lussuria to say nothing, either!"
Squalo seemed to consider it for a moment. "...Fine. I'll keep quiet, but only because I don't want to deal with the drama if the idiot reads that notebook and runs you over with his new car." He narrowed his eyes. "I'm not helping you."
Chrome nodded earnestly. "Yes, of course. Thank you, Squalo-san."
Squalo mumbled something and spun on his heel. He swaggered down the street.
Chrome watched him for a few minutes, a feeling of calm in her heart. He won't tell Xanxus, she said, confident in the man's promise. He may be loud, but I think he is kinder and more normal than the rest of the Varia - certainly, he is the most clear-headed.
With a little smile of relief blooming on her face, Chrome glanced down at the notebook. Immediately, a frost struck her body, killing the newborn feeling of contentment. She still had a mission to do.
I wonder if I should read the new entry? she wondered, biting her lip. Curiosity killed the cat... But if I were to hand this over to someone Squalo bad-mouthed, then they could kill me. It's better to find and then avoid the enemy, rather than hope he won't find you - isn't it?
Her words seemed reasonable enough, so Chrome opened the orange cover and flipped over a few pages to find Squalo's entry. "Let's see... 'If the Varia's Childhood Dreams Actually Worked Out'? Why would they tell Squalo their childhood dreams? Wait, they had dreams?!"
Xanxus would be the boss of a big city zoo, because - contrary to popular belief - he LOVES animals. Especially ones that hunt smaller animals, like tigers and lions. And he would hang his crayon-drawing of him as Wolverine in his office, right over his desk - just like he has it hanging in his Florence office!
"...Xan- Xanxus has WHAT?"
But, he will always be a mafia man, so maybe the zoo is just a cover. And when the lights go out, Xanxas trains the animals to be his man-slaughtering army.
"Well, at least that last part makes sense."
Lussuria would love to be a kindergarten teacher. He's always correcting us with that damn annoying voice of his. And his likes kids - he said little boy's are so 'adorb', whatever the hell that means.Bet the children will all be traumatized.
"Well, what did I expect from Lussuria, sigh..."
Of course Belphegor would rule his imaginary kingdom - and since this is a dream, I guess his high-and-might attitude wouldn't get his head on platter. At least not immediately.
"I'm starting to think this 'childhood dreams' theme is purely speculation." Chrome thought.
Mammon would work for a back as a clerk - and eventually rob his boss blind.
"That makes sense, but what child dreams about that?"
Then, Mammon will use the same method to steal all the money, buy all the banks, and take total control over all the world's capital! Then he'll charge five cents for each dollar anyone tries to withdraw.
"It's a good thing I keep my money in a sock drawer. Wait, this isn't real! Stay in reality, stay in reality..."
Leviathan- aw, who the hell cares!
"Their bonds are simply awe inspiring."
And finally, me - I AIN'T GONNA TELL YOU! HA! HA! VOOOI!
And the book met the ground once again.
Somewhere in Kokuyo Land, a certain pineapple head sneeze. A shiver went down his spine, as his guts suddenly tell him that more things happened to her sweet little Nagi and one of the nerve that make her sane just break.
If only you know Mukuro, if only.
To be continued….
