DOUBLE UPDATE!

"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Nee-san, where did you get all that money?" Fran asked as I paid for the ramen we had eaten. I remembered that Fran really wanted to try it, so I got it for him.

"I just had it," I replied, shrugging my shoulders. Truth be told, I really did just have it. The wallet was with my body in the small bag that was clipped to my belt around my waist. I didn't remember when it got there, but I did remember having it when boarding the plane.

Inside the bag was my wallet and ID. None of my credit cards worked, but apparently my debit card did. Strange… but acceptable. It meant that I was as rich as in my own world. I wondered if I should start the company up again…

"Can we go for sushi? And then I want yakisoba! After that we can eat cake and ice cream and-"

"Let's not eat all that in one day, Fran. You're going to grow a belly," I said, picking him up and poking his stomach. It was really small, and with his energy, there was no way it would be growing any time soon. "… or not. Besides, we need to get you to Mukuro for training."

"Shishou stabs me and hurts me. You can teach better," Fran said as I placed him down on the ground. "Just like you can do better. Nee-san shouldn't be with the pineapple fairy."

"Tell you what: if you can go through today with annoying Mukuro and doing perfect illusions, I'll take you to eat anything you want later," I said, checking the watch then the sky. It was almost time for the battle. 5 people were supposed to be defeated by Mukuro's team if I recalled.

'And here come two of them. I guess they're my targets,' I thought, looking at a window and seeing Oregano and Tumeric while pretending to look at the clothes. 'Hey… Why didn't I just buy clothes with the money I have? Oh yeah… I hate trying on clothes and making sure they fit.'

"Why don't you wear that one, nee-san?" Fran asked, pointing to a shop across the street. "I think it would look pretty on you."

"W-Wha?! No way! Not yet at least…" I said, glancing at the wedding dress. I had a theory that Fran secretly wanted me to get with Mukuro. Lately he had been trying to get me to get closer to Mukuro. It was a question of whether or not if it was his own feelings or if Mukuro forced him to.

The watch started to beep. I stared at it as a voice said, "One minute remaining until the battle commencement."

"Fran, let's go somewhere less crowded," I said, picking up the boy and running down the streets. I didn't want any innocents to get caught in my ice trap. "Let's have a mini lesson. Do you think you can turn the park into something different?" I asked Fran, stopping at the park.

"The entire park?" Fran asked as I placed him down. I nodded my head. He looked at the park for a moment. Then, it turned into something different. It became a chapel with a couple that looked like Mukuro and me walking along.

"Fran… that's not gonna happen," I said when an older Fran swept in like Tarzan and stole me away from Mukuro before he could kiss me. It at least gave me a sense of knowing that the reason why Fran wanted me to get close to Mukuro was so that someone could steal me away. That cruel cute boy. "Get rid of the illusion."

"I thought it was good," Fran replied, getting rid of the illusion.

"I want you to stay off to the side. I'm going to take on this battle," I said, turning on my heels. Flats were not good for battle to other people, but apparently they were for me. I guess my defiance of reality was starting to pick up again.

"The battle has commenced. The time limit is 10 minutes," the watch said as Oregano and Tumeric got to the park. By then it was too late. My ice trap was all ready and set up. The air was the perfect temperature for me to summon up ice without too much work.

"I had a nickname once. They called me the Icy Wind," I told them, the floor starting to turn to ice. "When I willed it, the air around me lowered to a temperature that even Ice was close to impossible to break through."

"You've only been pretending to be weak?!" Oregano exclaimed in shock as I smirked. Fran's illusion was starting to start up. It was weak compared to mine, but practice couldn't hurt. I was glad my little Fran knew that.

"You can't pick a book by it's looks," I replied, creating blades of ice in my hands. "10 minutes is more than enough time to take you both out."

Fran's illusion kicked in at that point. From the corner of my eye, I could see him yawn. That distracted them and made them fall trap. The illusion was supposed to make me disappear seemingly. By the way they swished their heads around, it was clear they couldn't find me.

Using my hilt, I smashed the watch of Tumeric, making Oregano gasp as she leaped back, pulling out her gun. I made a motion to Fran. He ran towards the woman and created a hammer. It smashed against Oregano's watch, destroying it as well. It seemed that Verde's inventions worked well. Good for him.

"Your watches are broken. That means you're both out," I said, nodding to Fran and making him release the illusion.

The watches Fran and I had beeped. "The battle has ended," it said.

"Let's go, Fran. We've done what we were supposed to do. We need to go meet up with Mukuro," I said, taking the boy's hand and walking away. My ice trap slowly disappeared and the air turned to it's natural temperature, sadly. I liked it better when it was cold.

"Shishou? I don't want to see him. I want to go for takoyaki," Fran complained, making me laugh and shake my head.

"Okay. Since you did so well, I'll treat you to takoyaki," I said, releasing his hand and patting his head. He stuck out his tongue at me and smiled a bit. It was an adorable smile. I loved seeing Fran's smile. It reminded so much of Riki.

"Yeah!" Fran cheered in a monotone voice.

"Don't forget to cause Mukuro trouble when we get back."

"I won't."
