Author's Note: It's Fran! I feel like he and Kasumi have a really good senpai-kouhai type relationship.

Even after I went back home with Mukuro, the happiness did not stop. Ken would not stop singing that Mukuro was back. Even Chikusa looked happy. We stayed up for most of the night talking to Mukuro after he recovered not too long later. Hibari came and fought Mukuro a week after that. It took even me a long time to get them to finally stop fighting. It's been a bit tougher cooking too, since Mukuro has certain preferences when it comes to food too, but I think that it's worth it. Mukuro got out from Vindice legally. We won't have to worry about anything pertaining to that now.
Not too long after he got out, Mukuro decided we'd be getting Fran so that Mukuro could start training him. Which is why we're in France now with M.M., but…
"Ah, geez," Ken says. I look over to the other side of the river and spot the Varia.
"Rokudo, Mukuro!" Squalo exclaims.
Mukuro exclaims, "Varia! Ah, I see. It's about him. You're moving to acquire him as well."
"The Rokudo, Mukuro group were the other ones trying to explain their power base," says Mammon.
"Kufufufu, don't try omitting us," Mukuro replies.
"Oh, That's him there, right?" Bel asks. He looks towards the kid with an apple hat standing in the river.
Bel comments, "An apple head now…"
"So he's worn hats since he was a child, eh?" Squalo asks.
"He's an idiot," Ken asks.
Mukuro agrees, "An idiot kid."
M.M. asks, "Isn't he too stupid?"
"Well then, maybe I should stir up some trouble," says Fran. "Umm, what should I do?" he asks. He jumps into the water and says, "First gently drift away. But you know, last time I drifted, I drifted out all the way to the ocean and nobody noticed," he says. Is he talking to himself…? "Hm, I sense people…." he says. He finally turns around and looks at us. "Not good, I'm seeing fairies," says Fran, rubbing his eyes.
"Eh?" I ask.
"Onbu rakokko donbura kokko. Fairies go away," says Fran, doing a hex.
"What is that idiot doing?!" shouts Bel.
"A hex?!" exclaims Squalo.
"Does he not know who we are?" asks Lussuria. His expression is one of shock and maybe a bit or horror.
"Kufufu, you people from the Varia have hidden your presence too much," Mukuro says the the Vaira. "Fran! You remember your master, right?" asks Mukuro.
"Eh...That threw me for a loop, I'm surprised," says Fran. Mukuro laughs. "That on this mountain there would be a pineapple fairy," Fran finihes. My eyes widen a little. The taboo, Fran. The taboo...
Ken's eyes widen. "Gah!"
"That's the number one thing you shouldn't say!" M.M. exclaims.
Bel laughs, "Shishishi."
"Who's the one without a presence again, Rokudo Mukuro?" Squalo replies.
"Ah, now that I look closer, I recognize the long-haired one, or rather, I know everyone with him is a team," says Fran. I glance at him.
"Ding, ding," says Bel.
"He finally noticed, eh?" Squal says.
"You guys are tooth decay fungi," Fran replies.
"Why you!" Bel exclaims, glaring at Fran.
"We're not fairies or tooth decay fungi!" Squalo shouts, also glaring at Fran.
"Onbu rakokko donbura kokko. Go away…Go away…" Fran says, doing a hex while sweating cold sweat. The poor kid. He'd better not be joking around right now. If he is, it's about time he gave it a break. They're all getting mad.
"Mukuro-sama, it would be best if you calmed down….or you'll kill what we came for," Chikusa says as he restrains Mukuro, who looks pretty enraged right now.
"Let me go Chikusa, I'm still young…" Mukuro replies.
"Mukuro-sama, please calm down," I say, "I'll try to talk to Fran." It seems like he's managed to make everyone mad quickly. Fran really has a talent for pissing people off.
"I'll kill him!" Bel shouts.
"Wait, Bel!" Lussuria exclaims.
"I'll juice you!" Bel declares as he throws knives at Fran's head.
"AH!" Fran exclaims. He uses his apple hat to defend himself.
Lussuria exclaims, "Ah!"
"That hat is an illusion!" says Squalo.
"If that's the case…" says Mukuro.
Fran starts to run away. "Help me! A tooth decay fungus forgot to cut his bangs and that bad-looking guy threw some original looking knives at me!"
Ken jumps in front of him and says, "Wait byon, Fran. I understand you're feeling panicked, but we're you're allies byon."
"Only an idiot would say stuff like 'byon' with a smiley face! That has to be an idiot fairy! I'll catch his stupidity if he touches me!"
"The game stops here. Don't run away Fran," says Levi, jumping in from of us.
"This tooth decay fungus isn't the least bit scary, I wonder why? Let's go on through," says Fran.
"What? Ignored…!" says Levi. Then, Fran falls down. One sword is pointed at Fran's head from the right, one Cikusa blocks the front, and one trident is pointed at him from the left.
"Do you really want to die that much?!" asks Squalo.
"Just give up," says Mukuro.
"Not good, unless I can calm the fairies, they'll kill me..." says Fran. "That hair defies common sense. There is no human that would have confidence with hair like that." Next is Chikusa. "Glasses Fairy-san, your skin is incredible, it's like an eraser!" Finally, Mukuro. "Pineapple Fairy-san, you just got here, but it smells like pineapple. Ahhh, it smells! It really smells!" Where those supposed to be compliments...?
"Wait, Fran," I start.
He looks at me blankly. "Eh? This average looking, seemingly ignorant girl is talking to me?"
"Do you really not remember us?" I ask as I ignore his unnecessary comments.
"What are you talking about?" he asks.
"Hey, listen for a minute, Fran. Do you remember getting hit in the head recently?" asks Squalo.
"According to Grandma, I was hit on the head with a block of cheese. I lost my memories, so I can't remember," Fran replies.
"Humph, I knew it," says Squalo.
"In other words he lost all his memories from the future…" mutters Mukuro.
"Rokudo Mukuro, I have something to say to you," says Squalo.
"As do I to you, Superbi, Squalo," says Mukuro.
"You can have Fran," they say at the same time.
"Originally, he was your disciple in the future! You can raise Fran and let us rent him when we need him!" Squalo argues.
"I'm busy too. It's better to raise Fran at your facility. That kid needs to be cured of his stupidity, so you take custody," Mukuro replies.
They continue to argue, so I go to talk with Fran. "So you really don't remember us at all?" I ask. I turn to the ground. "That's really too bad. You were the only one to accept me right away in the future." I smile faintly.
He replies, "You must be really lame to have to depend on me like that."
"Hah." I scoff. "Maybe," I reply with a soft sigh. "Seriously though, I don't see what the problem is."
"What?"
"I don't get it. You might have lost your memories about the future, but you're still a great illusionist for someone who didn't get any training yet," I explain as I look at his apple hat. "What's the problem then?"
"As usual, they just think that I'm some annoying kid," Fran grumbles.
"That's too bad," I reply. "They're missing out." I'd trust his future-self with my life, but I'd rather die than tell him that. It'd give him a big head.
Mukuro and Squalo went ahead and decided to choose who takes me and who takes Fran by a game of ladder. "This is a rather interesting discussion, huh? Is it alright if I make the decision? I'll go with that group," says Fran. "At least Kasumi-senpai is with them."
Everyone turns to me and the Varia start to thank me like I just made a miracle happen. I smile a little and nod. I turn to Fran. "I'm looking forward to working with you, Fran. Don't let me down, alright?"
