Helloes! It has been a looooooong, looooooooooooong time, hasn't it? Bet most of you don't even remember this silly story of mine! Anyway, sorry I took so freaking long to update (almost a year… D:). Let's say I kind of had a writer's block (more like I wasn't so hyped with KHR anymore). But now I'm back, and I can't wait to go on with all this thing :D

By the way, I got a lot of reviews! I mean, I thought I wouldn't get a single one… :D So thank you all, guys! You really made me happy 3

Anywaaaaaay… I hope you all enjoy with this chapter! It's not pretty long either, sorry!

Froggy

Did he…? He… He called me Froggy… I think I wanted to smash his head to the ground. But I might be a bit too lazy to do so, you know. So I decided to use my sharp tongue instead. I was sure making him mad will be much better than dirtying my hands while killing him.

"You mean me?" I said, pointing at myself. He just nodded in response, grinning like a maniac. "Excuse me, but I don't see any princes here. Just some sadist fake prince who's wearing a girly tiara."

He suddenly stopped grinning happily and an ugly, incredible forced smile appeared on his face. The room fell silent, and now everyone was looking at me, no doubt about it. The fake prince started walking towards me, and he looked mad. The ugly man who had been playing the guitar a while ago mouthed something which I couldn't hear and in the blink of an eye, tiara-guy was right in front of me.

"The Prince is not fake" he kind of… hissed. I tried to look at his eyes, but it was no use. That stupid fringe was covering them completely! "And this is not a tiara, it's a crown. Can't you tell the difference, Froggy?" he said, as if it was something obvious.

Froggy…!

Well, I'm sorry, but it really looked like a tiara to me! I raised my hand, and tried to move his bangs… But the prince's hands –which were freaking cold, if I may add– stopped me when I was about to do it.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing, peasant?" So now I'm a peasant too. Cool! "Don't you dare touch the Prince."

"But fake Prince... I was just going to check if you do have eyes, as you keep on calling me "Froggy" when I'm obviously not a frog."

"Why you…" He clenched his hand into a fist. Wait, what the hell? Was he going to hit me…? Oh, no. No freaking way! I wanted to make him mad, but I didn't want to get into a fight! I did not look away or anything, because that would have been a sign of weakness, no? I waited for him to hit me, but… He never did.

The hooded –I guessed it was a girl– girl had grabbed him by the wrist, not letting him move. Phew… Thank God she was there… I didn't want to go back home with a black eye, you know. Just imagine the situation! 'Hey, Dad. I just went to school, insulted a teacher, and I got into a fight with some guy who claims to be a prince. Crazy, huh?' … He'd kill me, this time for sure. He hated the fact that I easily got into trouble, fights, or anything like that…

"Stop, Bel" the girl said in a soft voice "This wouldn't do any good to our reputation, don't you think…?"

He kind of frowned at the comment, and immediately, he started to relax, and that grin of his appeared again in his face. He put his arm around her shoulders, and brought her close to him.

"Ushishishi… You're right, Mammon…" he looked my way again… "And… You ARE a frog, Froggy. Green hair. Green eyes. Frog T-shirt. You might be the idiot who doesn't realize what he really is…"

I was going to say something again, but someone tapped my shoulder suddenly, and I looked up, instead of insulting this Bel guy again.

"Mukuro?" Mukuro was looking at me with a worried expression in his face… "I'm sorry I left all of sudden. I heard the shittiest lyrics I'd ever heard, and I wanted to see who the retard who was singing that was."

He laughed at this. But the rest didn't, of course.

"My, my, Mukuro. Is this cute boy here a student of yours?" the Gaylord asked, frowning a bit. Did he call me cute? Ew…

"He's not, Lussuria. He's a transfer student who I happened to find on my way to school" he said, shrugging "Shall we go now, Fran?"

I nodded and followed him outside the classroom. I took a last look at the guys, and saw that the fake prince was waving his hand, in a really, really creepy way… It seemed like this guy could make anything look creepy! I rushed to Mukuro's side and we walked towards the main hall.


"So what's your first impression, little one?" he asked, when we got outside the building.

"Uhmm… I guess it's a nice place to be at… Except for that freaky fake prince I just met a while ago."

"Hahaha… I told you not to get involved with Varia, didn't I? And what's the first thing you do? Make fun of the singer. You sure are interesting…" he ruffled my hair right after saying that.

So those guys were Varia, huh? So maybe Mukuro was right when he warned me about them… But I have to admit, that teasing Bel was funnier that I thought it would be… Although I almost got punched in the face… But let's just forget about that, because thanks to the weird girl, my face was just fine.

I ignored his last comment, and thanked him for showing me around the school, and stuff. He ruffled my hair again before he left and then said he'd want me to play the piano for him sometime. So he wanted me to make his ears bleed, huh? Well, it wasn't my problem if he wanted to be deaf for the rest of his life…


When I got home, I went into the living room. I knew Dad would be there, and of course I was right, but he was using his laptop this time, instead of watching TV… So that probably meant dinner wasn't ready yet. My stomach growled. I was so hungry that I was sure I could eat a cow! Ehm… Well, maybe I was exaggerating a little bit… But I was hungry anyway!

"Dad?" I said, trying to get his attention "Daaaaad, I'm hoooome…" Still no answer. Was my Dad deaf now? Or was he ignoring me for some reason? I'm sure he was acting like if he didn't notice because he hadn't made dinner! I walked up to him and poked his forehead. He raised his head in response and his lips curled into a smile when he saw me.

"Oh, Frannie!" he took off his earphones… Ehm… So he wasn't deaf after all… "How was your afternoon?"

"Uhmm… I wanted to visit Namimori High, so I was looking for someone who could tell me how to get there. I found this pineapple-hair guy –who happened to be a piano teacher at the school– and insulted him. He showed me the way and I met there some freak prince who sings sadistic songs. Oh! And also, there was this green-haired guy… I'm completely sure he was gay… He called ME cute. But… I guess it was fun" my monotone voice didn't show any kind of amusement though.

Dad looked at me like if I was some weird alien.

"You insulted a teacher?"

"I didn't know he was a teacher, Dad. Besides, I did apologize." Well, it was true. But, come on, how was I supposed to know that Mukuro was a teacher? He looked pretty young if you ask me. In fact, he looked more like a student to me!

Dad sighed and put his laptop on the table; he stood up then and ruffled my hair softly (everyone loves ruffling my hair…).

"You got to watch your tongue, Fran, if you keep on being like that, you'll end up getting into trouble… And I don't want you to get hurt, or anything like that, okay?"

He was right… But he didn't know that I had made an enemy instead of a friend at school… Bel had almost hit me back then and he would have probably done so if it weren't for that girl. Of course, I wasn't going to tell Dad that I had got into a fight even before I started attending that school…

"Okay, Dad. I promise I'll try to." It was a lie, but I didn't mind lying if that made Dad feel a bit better.

He smiled at me and then I just offered to make dinner… I thought it was the right thing to do, after having told him a lie. He refused at first but I insisted till he gave in.

To tell you the truth, I wasn't the best cook in the world, although I'm sure I could easily get by if I lived on my own. But still… I didn't know how to make any complicated dish (but, hey! I was really good at baking cakes and that kind of stuff! That would be of no use if I wanted to make dinner though).


About an hour later, Dad and I had had dinner (in the end, I made an omelet… It's pretty easy to make, and he seemed to like it a lot…) and I had gone upstairs. I'm telling you, I almost DIED when I entered my room and saw that most of the boxes I had to unpack were still there. I had forgotten about them!

Pfft… So I decided I had to finish unpacking at once, and I got to work on it! When I was going to unpack the last one, which was full of mostly useless stuff I used to decorate my former room… I found a photo, well THE photo. Ken, Chikusa and I were smiling like retards in a swimming pool. I still remember the day when we took that pic. It was fun, really! To be honest… I still miss them all…

I took the photo and placed it next to my bed, on the night table. I changed into my pajama's right after that, and sat on my new, comfy bed.

My bad… It took me about three hours to finish unpacking and tidy up my new room, so I went to bed at 1… I needed to get some rest… Because something was telling me that the next day would be a tough one…


I was giving a concert. I couldn't believe I was the one playing that amazingly beautiful melody. I mean, I wasn't that good at playing! But… I was doing it perfectly. Everyone was silent. I took a glimpse at the audience. They were all astonished. I even saw some girl's jaw drop! I was playing so good that they couldn't get their eyes off me and they couldn't even say a word.

Suddenly, I noticed someone's presence… I turned to look at whoever was there now. A blond, tall guy. His slender body was walking lazily around the stage, and when he came a bit closer, the light from the spotlightshit him… And I could see some kind of tiara shining between his blond bangs Wait… What the… I knew who he was!

Bel had jumped into the stage and he was coming my way, grinning and laughing like crazy… What was he doing here? What's more… What the hell was he going to do? I stopped playing and stood up as fast as I could. I was scared, I didn't know why, but I was.

When I looked at the audience again… Well… There was no one there… They had left me on my own with the sadist!

"What's wrong, Senpai?" What was that? Why did I call him senpai…?

"Ushishishi… I'm already fed up with you, un-cute kouhai…" Huh? What did he mean? How come he was tired of me when he barely-

Stab.

It hurt. He had thrown a bunch of weird shaped knives at me, and I couldn't dodge them. I felt blood pouring down my body… But I didn't move, I didn't want him to know it actually hurt like hell! My head was spinning, and everything was slowly turning black… I was going to pass out, I knew it, and Bel was laughing even more now, like if he was really enjoying the sight… Like if he enjoyed seeing others suffering…! I closed my eyes and…


Beep! Beep! Beep!

The alarm went off and I sat up quickly. Just what the hell was that dream? I mean… Bel? Knives? WHAT. How come I had dreamt of someone I had just met? It doesn't make sense, does it… Gah! I rubbed my forehead softly, trying to calm myself down a bit. I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower… I supposed a bit of cold water would wash away that stupid nightmare.

When I stepped out of the shower I was hit by a cold breeze so I took my towel and wrapped it around my body as fast as I could. I wouldn't want to catch a cold, you see!

In less than ten minutes, I was ready to leave. And no, I was NOT wearing a frog T-shirt this time… Just a black sweatshirt and a pair of skinny jeans. I'd never been really interested in fashion, as you can see… And because of that, M.M, the girl I mentioned once, used to shout at me A LOT… But I just don't know what's so important about fashion! Uhh… I'm a weirdo, aren't I? Most teenagers would spend their money on brand-name clothes… And I prefer spending it on videogames…

I rushed downstairs right after I packed my schoolbag –I took my PSP with me of course! And my iPod too, just to make the looooong walkto school a bit less boring– and went into the kitchen to make some toasts, or something. Well, to be honest, I wasn't hungry at all… I was so freaking nervous that I wouldn't even had wanted to eat my favorite dish at that moment. But skipping breakfast is not healthy, so I decided to eat a bit anyway.

I took a little bowl from one of the cupboards and took a bottle of milk from the fridge. I poured down some milk in the bowl… and then added a fist of my favorite cereals –you know, those little chocolate balls! Aren't they yummy? – which I ate in less than a second. When I was finished, I took the bowl and left it in the sinkthing. I was in some kind of a hurry, so I guess there'd be no problem if Dad had to do the dishes once.

My first day… I really hoped everything went well…! I picked up my schoolbag and took out my iPod, plugged in the earphones… SWITCHED IT ON… Aaaaand… Shinsou, by Asami Imai started filling my head. Such a great song!

I headed to the main door and went out. It was so bright outside I could barely open my eyes, but I still managed to see lots of guys about my age talking to each other, smiling happily, all of them walking to school, obviously. Bet they wouldn't be smiling so much when they got there!

Of course, I wouldn't be smiling either. It's not like I do it a lot anyway. Phew… I started following everyone, just in case I didn't really remember the way to school. It was going to be a loooong day…


I tried to do my best, I promise!

So… how was it? Hope you enjoyed it after the long, long wait…!

I'll try to update as soon as possible!
