His Home

"I've had Enough." Skull had been in his seemingly usual fight with Reborn. Of course, like usual, Reborn had won it like nothing. He then ignored him, not caring about the injuries he caused or Skull had self inflicted during the fight. Skull looked around, at the others nonchalantly doing their own thing, ignoring the fact he was injured and focusing on their stuff even when they took a glance. Not a single one came to him asking "Are you alright?" or a simple "Calm down." try didn't even question what it was about or how it started... They always thought he started it, despite knowing that Reborn was the biggest Sadist they'd ever had the pleasure of working with.

He remembered why he was even with them.
Luce, had originally gathered them, sugar-coated a bond with each one of them, betrayed them and Cursed them into infants for her bloodline's survival with them suffering from it.
Aria, had tried to get along with them as work-aquaintences and allies. The Arcobaleno was simply an affiliation for them.
Yuni, well, and helped release them from their plight and the curse her Ancestor had brought upon them. They, the Arcobaleno, were no longer required to stay together or even work together to maintain the balance of the world.

He was, technically, free to go whenever he wishes to do so.

And that's what he did, those three words the only thing indicating his meaning and where he headed to on his motorbike, away from them. They had yet to realise, the first to leave wasn't the Sun as they'd expected, but the Aloof Cloud, Skull, instead.

Going by their element it would be been plainly obvious that it wouldn't been him or their Mist Viper, but not the sun.
Going by their character however would just make the entire difference even more confusing.

Whatever actually happened, they didn't find out until it was time for the next meeting 2 months later. Without the pacifiers, they didn't even know if they were close to each other or if someone was coming. Hence they didn't know what to do when after a while day Skull didn't appear.

They decided to call him like people of the 21century...*click*
"Lackey get here before I put bullets in your arse."

[A/N:... Chile- Anyway, so]

"Reborn-sempai, I am leaving. Since none care about my presence, or you, to even ask me why I'm a day 'late' or even if I'm fine I have decided to leave the Arcobaleno, and thus the Mafia, completely and go home. I cut my contract with the Carcasso Famiglia a week ago and moved out of my residences. This will be the last time you'll even be bothered with me. I thank since of you for the brief grace you showed me and wish you a healthy life. Farewell, cause this isn't a goodbye as we won't see each other. *crunch-Beepbeepbeep*"

You could hear a pin drop.
"What just happened?"

"Uncle Skull/ the Lackey left."

Out of the corner of his eyes, Verde saw Viper handing Fon 50$ and he raised a questioning Eyebrow.

"It was a bet on when smo would leave the Arcobaleno first, or at least, attempt to. Honestly we tight it would be you, Reborn or Viper who'd leave." Was that meant sarcastically or rhetorically? You can never tell with Fon's smile like that.

Meanwhile Skull, was at the Bermuda triangle,
- and no, it didn't refer to the leader of Vindice.

You see Skull was clumsy, many saw that, but you'd be too if you grew up underwater for most of your life! The 'Fish out of Water' was quite literal for Skull, he had trouble walking but not controlling mechanisms like driving, piloting or using his hands, just his 1tailfing turned into 2 legs was a challenge.

The reason he first worked at a circus was a trial for his kind, gather information on land dwellers, two legs or leggers, as they call humans and manage to live with them for 2 years. That was the trial period. He spent a year at the circus before Checkerface had approached him and then spent half a year with Aria before being cursed as a land dweller. He was permanently stuck in that form and thus couldn't return home to the deep sea.
