First Day Of The Battle

"Oyoh~ Fran-kun will be alright,right, Levi?" Lussuria reaches for Levi's shoulder, but jumps up several timesin attempt of that.

"Lussu. Please stop jumping up and down, you are making Boss impatient." Levi glances at Lussuria, who had already stopped and was looking at Belphegor making his way down.

"OH! Beru-kun! How does it feel being a 'prize'?" Lussuria held his hands like they were microphones. Belphegor just gave his famous laugh and walked past Lussuria to sit on his chair.

"Ehh? No one's talking to me! Alright, alright, let's let the contestants come out…. Where's my fran-kun?"Lussuria continued, looking around the dining hall.

"VOOOIII! Belphegor, go get Fran! He was once your battle partner, right?" Squalo yelled out impatiently, pointing to the ouji. Bel gave a short laugh, then disappeared down the hall. Just as Bel disappeared, the mysterious Kagami appeared in the dining hall.

"So you come." Xanxus muttered. The girl smiled devilishly at Xanxus, then returned to her place the day before,leaning against the wall. Lussuria, seeing the atmosphere becoming weird again,tried to use his interviewing pose on Kagami. Unlike the others who had ignored him, she opened her heart to him.

"How does it feel being a contestant?"Lussuria asked. Levi frowned towards him, he knew that if this girl was too strong, Boss would feel ashamed to have had a non-competent Mist Guardian.

"Perfect." She laughed, "Ushosho,because I know I'll be the one in the end to get Beru-kun." Seeing the confident girl, even Lussuria was deprived of verbage… this girl was too confident to be just boasting.

"NO! You won't win, because the one being Bel's battling partner will always be me, Fran." A voice traveled down the hall, strong, deep and full of emotions. Lussuria clamped his hands together near his heart, and sighed a great sigh of relief, Fran to the rescue!

"Shishishi" Bel came following Fran's paths, and small patches of pink were visible on Fran's face.

"Uhhh…sempai, it's not like being with you is awesome…it's just I.I…I enjoy creating illusions of us dying… if you're not my battle partner, then I won't be able to do that." Fran stuttered.'Shimata, horrible explanation!' He thought to himself, and looked around the room for the reactions. Xanxus hooted, with Levi looking worriedly at the two contestants. Lussuria smiled guiltily as if he knew what Fran was thinking…Squalo was only looking at Lussuria… who knows why?

"Shishi… that is really a messed up explanation." Bel finally broke the silence, and made Fran blush harder."So…the 10th Vongola members are coming here today?"

"I should really get the entrance fee." Mammon appeared from thin air and used his high-pitched tone to scurried over to pick a battle on Mammon.

"Not today, I believe. We may start from the members here in Varia. Fran should have an advantage over me, but I'm fine with that, after all, the victory in the end is always to the most competent guardian." She used the same arrogant tone, but something was out of place. It wasn't the boasting and bellowing normal people would use to show off or scareoff predators… it was like she really knew what she was doing, and was going towin it. Fran couldn't think about those extraneous thoughts, he needed to focuson the battle that was going to start now, that was going to start now and hopefully, pull him and Kagami apart. He needed to, for Bel's sake... and more importantly... himself. The battle is ON.

Fran covered her eyes with the blindfold, Levi on guard to make sure that she didn't peek and see what Kagami showed the judges. Fran heard Kagami greeting the judges, and couldn't stop his racing heartbeat.

'Shimata! I need to calm down…calm down… to think about what I'm going to show them!' Fran ordered himself, grasping his own wrists and trying to hold himself together. As he calmed down, he heard Lussuria's girlish laugh and understood that Kagami had shown him what he wanted. What would Lussuria want to see? He was always so feminine, enjoying cooking and taking care of the rest of the Varia. He would want to be a great chef. But then he's also an exceptional boxer… oh! He's also obsessed with great bodies, someone like Ryohei. Yes. He would be a chef that cooks for people like Ryohei, and then performs boxing for them.

"I'm done, Fran-kun." Fran suddenly heard Kagami's voice, and his heartbeat began trembling once was quick. During her entire performance time he only had time to think about one judge. She slowly peeled off her blindfold, her mind racing through facts, and the likes and hates of the members of Varia. Fran walked into theroom, first changing some spacious objects to lure the judges into his illusion world.

"Fran-kun~ Gambate!" Lussuria waved happily. He surveyed the room for any abnormalities. Too many. Xanxus was smiling. Smiling, something he rarely did unless he got to be the top of the Mafia world. Squalo was silent, holding his sword preciously near his heart. Mammon was lying casually on the table, counting his money satisfyingly.Levi still guarded Xanxus, but in his eyes was confidence, pride, things that Levi had never had ever since the battle of the stupid cow.

"Arigato Lussu. I will start from you," Fran closed his eyes and took out his box weapon. The weapon that looked like Belphegor. He lighted his ring with his flames and stuck it into the box, which opened delicately and revealed the the box weapon, Bel narrowed his eyes.

As Fran fell into his own world of illusions, his conscious fell as well. To do the best job ofcontrolling others, he needed to stop controlling himself and give that sense of controlling to his instincts as well. "Please, instincts, let me win." He whispered before falling on the ground.

"VOOOOIII! What's wrong withthat guy?" Squalo shouted, seeing his companion fall to the ground.

"Boss, no need to worry. He is only giving up his will to control himself for the moment right now. Lussuria,you will be brought into his world of illusions soon." For once, Levi wassaying something intelligent. Something that helped others.

Bel watched silently as the others bickered over what was happening. Fran was working so hard. Usually, he would only stick up his arrogant frog head, bend Bel's precious knives, and create illusions of them dying…together. Bel didn't even know what he was doing worrying for such a croaky idiot. He remembered the time he got shot in the armin order to save Fran and felt his heartbeat race faster. 'I'm a prince, my battling partner can only be the best… and it may not be Fran.' He told himself, but even himself couldn't control the racing heart and panting in the veins. Lussuria better be shown what he wanted.

Fran woke up to the sound ofthe clanking of pots, and Squalo's roaring downstairs. He rolled around in his silk bed, his head still racing with thoughts, and he suddenly remembered the battle yesterday. He quickly shoved on his frog hat and scurried downstairs. Everyone was acting like normal.

Belphegor walked over silently, the rest of the members of Varia silently watching him walk over. Bel leaned over to Fran's ear, and silently whispered the result.

"You..."
