Connecting Souls Through Fate Introduction Post Belphegor Baiken Three years. Three goddamned years and .... nothing! An irritated hiss helped end the annoyed musings coming from none other than Varia's youngest member, Prince the Ripper. Well, second youngest, he supposed Marmon was a year or so underneath him in age. But it was hard to count him, namely because he had been stuck in his cursed form for so long that it drastically reduced his age. Even to this day, the closest thing Bel would dare to consider a friend among all of these assassins was as uncertain about his actual age and how old he should be. But in the end, that was the last thing on the blonde-haired assassin's mind. No. There was a more urgent and pressing matter. He was bored . When someone like Belphegor was in such a state, it was actually a very dangerous thing. Anyone outside the Varia base could laugh, though they would receive a dagger lodged in their jugular for reacting in such a way. Believe it or not, this was a very serious problem. And anyone else who was around the headquarters could clearly see it. The young prince had been sitting in his room for the past few hours, tapping his boots impatiently on the carpet. Now, his fingers drummed - just as restlessly as his feet were, almost in perfect sync with them actually - and landed atop a wooden desk that had only a single laptop, mouse pad, and mouse. Geez. When did Boss become so fucking soft? Ka-fucking-ching! Another irked sigh passed his lips as he pulled one of his trademark knives out, slipped his right index finger through the small loop, and twirled the weapon rapidly in an impatient but very swift circle. The weapon remained around his digit, being controlled perfectly by its owner as he tried to backtrack and remember why things had come down to the here and now. It was a delicate situation, if he had to word it as any specific way to explain what had happened. Numerous and multiple words had merged. On any given day, this would be an amazing feat. And it seemed the rest of Varia agreed with as much. But of course, the CEDEF had to intervene. And they all but insisted that if any trouble was linked back to them, they would take advantage of the new setting and strip Varia of all their powers, insisting there was no need to risk getting any unneeded casualties involved. Argh! Bel hissed, finally allowing the small knife to be hurled into the wall beside him. He stood back up, yanked it out and slid it back into his pocket. There was one saving grace, and it came in the fact they had managed to completely heal Squalo. It was one of the few things keeping Bel even somewhat sane well, as sane as he could be in the first place. As the silver-haired swordsman entered Bel's mind, he decided that would be how he'd start to cure his boredom. Taking slow, confident steps, Belphegor began striding forward through the halls of the Varia Headquarters. Thankfully, he didn't have to move far and soon, he found the door belonging to the Rain Guardian and opened it, forgoing the usual routine of knocking and hinting someone was about to come in. Squaloooooooo. Whatcha doooooooing? he asked in his typical sing-song voice, flashing the swordsman a sly grin. Whatever he may or may not have been busy with, Bel took advantage of his working state and fully entered the room, leaning against the door to keep from being shooed out, a clear sign he wouldn't tolerate it. Not this time. Not easily, that was for damn sure. But if Squalo really wanted to try to make him leave ... well ... that could always be something fun. Honestly though, this was one of those days where Bel preferred he'd hear him out, as an idea was actually forming while he stood and waited to see and hear the response from Xanxus's right-hand man. Fitting I suppose, given he only has his right hand. Ushishishishi ... It was a technicality, as Squalo had a fake arm to replace the one he willingly cut off. But Bel was beyond caring. It was something that made him content and he was taking any and everything he could get at this rate. The inner musings made Bel's grin widen as he snickered and chuckled, keeping his thoughts tucked away in his mind for the time being.
