Chapter 1: Found

I don't own KHR, it all belongs to the wonderful Amano Akira.

A/N: Revision Notes: Nothing has changed in the plot. I only changed up the layout of some chapters. Hence there will be no more part 1 or 2's in Interludes.

Squalo finally arrived at the location after the delayed flight. Yet here he was sitting down and having a cup of coffee while impatiently waiting for the right moment to infiltrate the location. He sighed slightly and tapped his leg impatiently. He knew that there was no reason to get irritated yet this mission was way too important for him to be delayed. Finally after a few minutes of waiting, he saw his chance. Squalo bolted from his seat and quickly snuck inside and to a spot where he couldn't be seen. Suddenly, it dawned on him that it was too quiet. Squalo frowned slightly and cautiously moved around the halls. There was no sign of human activity. This was unusual for him, it even looked temptingly safe for him to come out of the open and let down his guard. Of course he didn't, he figured it was probably a trap of some sort.

Squalo moved on to other rooms, finding it even stranger and stranger to find no sign of any humans around the area. He finally arrived at the ballroom, already out in the open with his sword out. As soon as he opened the door, the stench of rotting bodies hit his nose like a wave hitting against a cliff. The room was also unnaturally humid too. His frowned deepened as he saw the many bodies all in the room. He sighed a bit and turned around to leave the room, seeing no need to go in since he saw his target dead on the ground along with his men. That was when he heard a small yawn coming from behind him. Immediately, Squalo turned around again and strode towards the sound with his sword fully ready in front of him.

In the middle of a few dead bodies was a girl with tan skin and raven black hair. She was laying down and about to open her eyes. Her arms were covered in dried blood yet her clothes were not stained. Squalo stopped and looked at the girl curiously as she opened her eyes to reveal warm honey brown colored eyes.

"Who are you?" She asked softly.

The girl looked at him curiously, waiting for him to answer. Squalo kept quiet and frowned a bit, wondering how he didn't see her within the piles of rotting carcasses.

"Who are you?" She asked again in a louder voice and then with a tone laced with panic. "Wait, who am I?"

Squalo sighed a bit as the girl started to panic and curl up into a fetal position.

"Voi," he said to her.

The girl looked up at him.

"Did you do this?" He asked calmly.

The girl sat up and looked around. She looked horrified as she saw the rotting bodies around her.

"I don't...know," She replied hesitantly as her face started to pale. "Did..I do this?"

Squalo sighed as the girl started to have another mental panic attack. This didn't help that his irritation level also grew.

"VOII!" He shouted, finally snapping.

The girl just flinched and jumped back only to bump into another dead and decomposing human body.

"Calm down," Squalo said in a normal-ish volume. "Now, tell me what are you doing here?"

"I don't know," the girl whimpered in reply. "I just woke up..I don't know."

Squalo saw her her eyes and saw that she wasn't lying. A small frown covered his lips yet his eye betrayed interest and curiosity. He decided from then on to just keep the girl by impulse.

"Stand up," he said sharply.

The girl blinked a bit and looked at him in utter surprise. Squalo just pulled her arm, making the girl stand up.

"Let's go," he gruffly said.

The girl nodded, confusion swirling in her eyes. She certainly didn't like what the way Squalo was dragging her around yet she knew that she had no choice. Maybe she would also get her memories back. If not, then she would just ask the man about that. A small sigh escaped from her lips. That was when the realities of the world suddenly crashed on her mind. Her stomach started to growl, her throat was very dry and her body felt heavy with fatigue. She tried to control them but this made her vision go dark.

Squalo caught the girl and looked at her with surprise. She looked even worse than when he first saw her. There was no use in further interrogate her if she was in no condition to speak. Immediately, Squalo set the girl down gently on the floor and got out his phone to contact Lussuria.

Xanxus looked over to the sleeping girl and then to Squalo. He was slightly surprised by his actions but he didn't seem to care this time.

"She can stay," he said with a shrug and returned to his room.

Lussuria seemed delighted by this, while Squalo just seemed relieved that his boss did not throw a hissy fit.

"So what's her name?" Lussuria asked excitedly.

"I don't know," he replied with a small tired sigh. "She seemed to have forgotten once she woke up."

Squalo looked at the sleeping form of the girl. It had been two days since he took her in. He started to doubt himself why he even bothered to keep the girl alive in the first place. He just sighed and left the room, threatening the others to leave the girl alone and not go into his room for the meantime. Lussuria, who was about to ask why saw him leave and sighed in frustration. He looked at the sleeping girl and smiled warmly before leaving the the room and gently closing the door behind him.

The girl woke up only to be greeted by the grumbling of her stomach. She sighed in frustration and tried to distract herself from her hunger by looking around where she had woken up. It was a 180 degree change from her last location. She was not surrounded by bodies but rather by a very well lit room with fluffy blankets that kept her warm during the night. She blinked a bit in surprise and pinched the skin of her arm, wondering if she was already in heaven. Though before she could do that, the door opened.

Squalo went in to see the girl was already wide awake and looking at him in shock and awe.

"Are you an angel?" She asked in awe.

Squalo facepalmed and wondered if the girl had already lost her mind but yet replied, "No I'm not an Angel."

"Then am I dead?" the girl asked.

"You are not dead!"

"I'm not?"

"You're not brat."

Squalo sighed and looked at the dismayed girl. Already, he could tell that it's going to be a pain in the neck trying to get this girl to try to remember stuff. He was about to say something but was soon interrupted by her stomach growling.

"Sorry," the girl muttered softly.

"Let's just go eat," Squalo said looking at her with understanding eyes. "You're obviously hungry since you haven't eaten for a while."

The girl nodded and got out of bed, then quickly then followed Squalo out of the door. As they neared the dining room, the girl noticed that there were people there already.

"Ah you're awake," Lussuria enthusiastically exclaimed with a warm smile.

The girl suddenly clung on to Squalo and stayed behind him, feeling strangely afraid of these people. Xanxus on the other hand just ignored them and ate his breakfast steak. While Belphagor just looked at the girl curiously.

"So sweetheart," Lussuria said to her. "What's your name?"

"I-i," the girl stuttered, feeling like a tiny animal.

"VOIIIII!" Squalo shouted, slightly annoyed by this situation. "Lussuria sh-"

"Shishi Why didn't you kill her?" Bel asked with a grin.

The girl paled even more and whimpered slightly, suddenly letting go of Squalo and slowly backing away. Squalo glared at Belphagor and pulled the girl's arm to prevent her from escaping.

"She doesn't know what her name is and I have my own reasons," Squalo replied with an angry hiss.

"Shishi This is new," Belphagor said with amusement laced in his voice. "You trying not to shout that much to prevent the girl from getting scared."

"WHY DON'T YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS BRAT!" Squalo shouted, clearly annoyed by this.

The girl winced slightly and shook with fear. Tears started to form on her eyes and ran down her cheeks.

"Squalo!" Lussuria exclaimed and quickly went over to the girl, wiping her tears. "Behave yourselves you two, she's just afraid."

The girl just back away and fled towards Xanxus, escaping from Lussuria's grip. Leviathan suddenly froze as soon as the girl clung on to Xanxus. He stood up and gave off an intimidating aura as he glared at her. Xanxus on the other hand was slightly shocked and surprised by this action. He looked down at the scared girl and sighed a bit, he patted her head other Varia members watched in shock and awe as they saw her started to calm down while still clinging to their only a few sniffles can be heard from her until she was utterly quiet. Leviathan on the other hand was shaking with anger as he saw this. Yet there was nothing he could do but to watch like the others.

Finally when she calmed down, the girl just let go of Xanxus and softly apologized. She seemed to be a lot more calmer than before.

"Catrina," Xanxus suddenly said. "Do you like that name?"

"Ah yes," the girl replied with a small warm smile. "I like that name."

"Then that's your name," Xanxus said then stood up and left, leaving the other Varia members slightly speechless at this sight. Catrina felt euphoria bloom within her chest as she had a name to cling to once more. Her stomach growled loudly, a small blush covered the girl's features.

"Let's just get you something to eat little one," Lussuria said with a small warm smile. He extended his arms to her, signaling that he was harmless. Catrina complied and went over to the man with the strange mohawk.
