"Oh, No reason...No reason at all."He said, grabbing the dagger, and slamming it into the counter again, this time not paying attention to the dagger.

She didn't jump.this time as the dagger was slammed into the counter. She Was getting used to it. Her hands no longer shook. Her curiosity peaked again and she couldn't resist sneaking a peak at his thoughts. He'd never know.

"Damn it. Why won't the marking stop glowing?"He murmured to himself, the marking still a pitch black and giving him a headache. He held his head lightly, blushing slightly in some frustration.'Damn it! Don't blush you idiot! Stop it! DAMN IT! STOP BLUSHING!'He thought, apparently his mind clouded all up on him, making his mind hard to read or see. He stopped blushing, but still had a headache. He then answered his phone again, "Hello..?"He said quietly."Ey, Bel, Sorry I did that earlier. Why are you so quiet?"Squalo asked on the other line, apparently curious."Headache...marking...rage...women.."He murmured on the phone."WOMEN?!?!?! YOU ACTUALLY MET A WOMAN?!?!? AND SHE MADE YOU HAVE A RAGE FIT?!?!? JESUS!"Squalo yelled on the other line, apparently not paying attention to Bel's headache."Shh. Headache, Remember? and Yes. She did."He murmured on the phone again."Riiight..Sorry.Bye now."Squalo said, hanging up. Bel looked at the clock, only 10:38 He didn't have to go any where. He yawned again, letting go of his head."...Soo..."He said quietly.

She growled slightly in frustration when his mind clouded over. It gave her a massive headache and she held her head, groaning. She saw him blush and wondered what the hell he was thinking. So, what? You bored? Want to go hunting pigeons or something?Something in his expression angering her. She clenched her fists and then sighed, relaxing.Um... sorry? She said it like a question. She actually did have anger problems. Just about then Kassi spotted Belwhateverthehellhisnameis. She smirked, flicked her long blonde hair and sauntered over. Hey. She bothering you?She felt like having a bad boy under her finger for a little while. Refreshing.

His marking stopped glowing black, and he fixed his tie a bit."Ah...No..not at all.."He said, gazing up at Kassi, apparently thinking this was just another prissy blond trying to woo him.

Oh good. Now. I'm not a prissy blonde. And I can read your mind, like my sister here. And please don't have a spazzy on me. Kassi raised one eyebrow, irritated. Marino said nothing.

"Pft. You seem prissy all of a sudden anyway. And stop fucking reading my mind, It's irritating to me. Infact, that's the thing that causes my damn marking to glow black."He said, not afraid of a irritated girl, apparently thinking of nothing so far.

She raised an eyebrow and stepped closer.You don't want to mess with me, Bel. Marimo suddenly started looking very nervous. Kassi put her hands down on the table and stared Bel in the face. She narrowed her eyes and three glasses shattered one after the other on the other side of the bar.

"Pff. You really want to go there?"He asked, his marking glowing black in irritation directly through his hair."You really would regret it.."He said, with a crazed grin.

She growled.Unless you apologize.Marimo snarled at.Kassi. Lay off, Kass. He didn't do anything to you, or me, so BACK OFF.Kassi glanced at Marimo.Fine. What do I care. You obviously like him.Marimo snarled at Kassi again, not answering her question.

"Good. I don't wanna release the daggers, or summon them. Or even use my eye."He growled lightly, his eye shifting to a very light blue color, then blending back into his sea-green eyes.

Marimo sat back down.Sorry about that.

"Eh, I'm used to prissy women like that."He said.

She rolled her eyes.Must be all over you, hm?

"Ehh..Let's just say, A lot of girls 'trip' over me."He said, straightening his tie again.

She made a face.Ooohhh. That must be irratating. You do bring it on yourself though.

"Suppose I do.."He said with a small smirk, gazing at her.

She stared back at him. Her hair fell in her eyes and she held his gaze, never blinking, not a twitch.

"Pfff. Let's ju--"He was about to finish, when Squalo knocked off his Tiara."MY TIARA!"He exclaimed, only in a mutter voice, picking it back up and dusting it off.

"Voi. That's for meeting a GIRL."Squalo said, tapping his foot lightly, not very amused.

She smirked.Lets just what?

"As I was saying..."Bel said, fixing his tiara on his head."Let's just hope Xanxus-sama doesn't call me, or Fran..."He said, looking around just in case Fran might've been hanging around, but seeing no sign of him.

"Voiii. So, Who is this girl, anyway? She your girlfriend?"Squalo asked, just fucking around with Bel's mind, He smirked lightly at his joke.

She snorted and sat back in her chair. Nobody ever got that far with her. They... ceased to exist. She set her jaw in an arrogant manner,waiting for his answer. She couldn't wait till she got home and changed out of these stuffy clothes.

"Squalo! She's not my girlfriend! Just a friend...Or so."Bel said, crossing his arms, and looking away."Mr. Scary Sharky can be so rude."He muttered to himself.

"Oh well, Anywa --"Squalo's cell phone then rang, he answered it."Hell-"There was then a sudden shotgun sound that came from the other line, then some pissed ranting. He then hung up on the phone. Silence. He stared at Bel, then just sat down having a twitch-fit, still silent.

She looked at him.We're friends? She jumped a little when she heard the shotgun.What's wrong with twitchy Mac bitchy?

"Heh, Not sure..I'll call Xanxus-sama and see why..Gimme a minute, darling."Bel said, walking outside, now calling and talking to Xanxus."Mhm. WAIT -- HE'S BEING DEMOTED?!?! -- THIS IS WONDERFUL! AND AND! I'M OVER RANKING HIM?!? Yes..I love yo-- Okay, Okay, Boss. I'm not going to go THAT far...But still."Bel said, apparently talking a bit too loud outside.

Squalo kept twitching, He then`glared at Bel -- Who happened to just walk inside again -- and growled -- Not a wolf growl, but...a sharkish-growl..-- He quietly then pondered what to do to Bel. He shook his head, thinking:'No. Too violent..Especially in front of a girl who calls me twitchy Mac bitchy..' He sighed, scooting a few ways away from Bel silently now.
