Vodka didn't ask what was wrong was with Gin, not after he saw the bloodlust in his eyes. He could only guess it was because of Kilju. Vermouth was nowhere to be seen, so the two men were left with the grenade-wielding, blonde psycho teen.

"Mornin'!" Kilju grinned at the two men. Gin didn't even bother to look at her, for if he did, he would probably throttle her. "So, which one, or two, of you wants to help me shop?" Kilju asked.

Vodka nearly spit out his coffee and Gin bent the fork he was using to eat eggs. "This is a SECRET organization." Vodka informed her, seeing as how Gin wasn't going to talk, save for screaming at the teen.

"Yeah?" Kilju nodded.

"So it's secret."

"I know."

"So we don't do on shopping sprees at 7:45 IN THE MORNING!" Vodka emphasized the last three words, right in Kilju's face.

He stole my speech, the fat bastard! Gin realized too late.

Kilju blinked. "But… today at the Beika City Mall, there's a discount of 75% off of all clothing and medium pizzas…and I wanted to buy some clothing because my clothes are so last year…" Kilju's voice was shaking, as was her body.

Oh ^%&*! Is she gonna cry? Gin looked up.

Kilju now held a grenade in her hand and she looked cheerful again. "Bring me with, or it's 'fire in the hole' for this place!" Kilju replied sweetly.

"What the- HOW DID YOU EVEN GET THAT?" Gin yelled, dropping his newspaper and storming over to Kilju.

"Uh-uh-uh, Ginny. Take me shopping or I drop this." Kilju grinned at him.

Gin stared at her, murder in his eyes. How did she even get a hold of another grenade? "FINE!" he snarled.

"Hooray!" Kilju cried happily, running to her room.

"Vodka."

"Aniki." The two men looked at each other.

"Pack your bags, I have a bad feeling about this!" Gin ordered.

"Yes, Boss." Vodka retreated to his room.


"Whee! These prices are fantastic!" Sonoko squealed happily, hugging the numerous outfits to her body.

"Sonoko, please stop snogging the clothes, you can do that after we pay for them." Ran sweat-dropped, holding not nearly as many clothes as Sonoko.

Ran and Sonoko stopped at a restaurant inside the mall for lunch. "Hey, who's that?" Ran looked in the direction Sonoko was looking.

A girl with short blonde hair wearing a black Gothic, almost Lolita, dress with cool gloves had two men on her side. Both men wore black and were holding about ten bags each, expressions of suffering on their faces.

"Wonder who that is," Ran mused.

"Ooh ooh! She could be the sister of a mysterious blonde who disappeared from a town where June never seems to end! And those guys are the body guards she hired to protect her from being murdered!" Sonoko theorized excitedly.

"Really? Of all the ideas of who that girl is, that's what you come up with?" Ran sighed, a massive sweat-drop on her temple.

"Well, yeah! That Satoshi guy H-O-T hot! Too bad he's an anime character." Sonoko sighed dreamily as she thought of the animated bishounen.

"Like we aren't?" Ran blinked.

CRACK went the fourth wall.

"OK slaves, we can eat lunch now!" Kilju proclaimed. Gin twitched. Kilju was a whole different person when she was at the mall, going from being a sweet, slightly insane airhead to a demanding, even more insane slave master in a heart-beat.

After ordering her food, Kilju looked for a table that already had some people sitting at it. She always liked getting into any conversation, even if it had nothing to do with herself.

Spotting a table with two girls, one with dark brown hair and triangle bangs, and another with brown hair cut almost as short as her own, Kilju walked over and plopped down beside them.

There were a few minutes of chewing when Sonoko started the conversation. "So who are you? Are you the sister of a mysterious blonde who left a town where June never ends? And are those two men your body-guards?" Sonoko blabbed her question in five seconds.

Kilju looked up from her hamburger. "I wish! Higurashi reference right?" the blonde Lolita grinned.

"I'm Sonoko, and this my very good friend Ran!" Sonoko introduced themselves.

"Kilju here! Those guys are my lackeys, G-"

Gin, who'd been standing behind and slightly to her left the entire time, then bonked her -lightly- on the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Kilju snapped.

"Ix-nay on the ames-nay!" Gin hissed.

"Oh. They're just there for the scenery!" Kilju quickly finished.

"Oh." Ran blinked.

"Well, I had better get going; see you Ran and Sonoko!" Kilju got up, collecting her hamburger wrappers and empty paper cup.

"Bye, Kilju!" Sonoko called after her. "She's so the sister of a mysterious blonde-"

"Let it go, Sonoko," Ran sighed.


Well seems I've just thickened the plot, more so than it has already. I hope you all look forward to the next chapter!
