Fran's Room

Fran lay in his bed, his muscles still sore from training vigorously just minutes before. He had quickly taken a shower and lied down on this very spot, and laid here, listlessly for those few minutes. "Bel-sempai... it's almost the battle... I will...win..." and blackness confounded him.

Fran's Room

"I...will win.." Fran muttered in his sleep, Bel glancing worriedly at the feverish Fran. He was glad that Fran was so eager and tempted to win him over, but he also didn't want Fran to be sick just for him. What feeling was this? It was such an abnormal feeling, it was sour to be always waiting for Fran, yet so sweet when Fran grinned at him. This feeling was like eating ramen. So impatient when he was waiting for it... yet always so appetizing when he was eating it. Just the feeling with Fran was one thousand times that.

Fran rolled over in his sleep, slowly lifted one of his eyelids, rubbing it sleepily. He saw a blurry figure, and leaped backwards. It was sempai.

"S-s-sempai..." Fran pulled out his hat from his closet and stuffed it on his head.

"It's tomorrow." Bel whispered, then quickly pulled Fran out of the room.

Fran's Room

It almost became Bel's routine to walk to Fran's room in the morning, but today, Kagami walked in with him.

"Belphegor?" Kagami asked, knocking on the door of Fran's room.

"Shh." Bel grunted, and turned around to check if Kagami had woken up Fran.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ushi shi shi... do I have to report to you?" Bel laughed sarcastically. Kagami nodded slowly as if rethinking about whether to fight for Bel or not, but laughed as well. "Usho sho... you would after I win," and walked out of the room. Bel narrowed his eyes at the girl walking out of the room. She was too confident.

"Sempai?" Fran rubbed his eyes as he stepped out of his bed, almost tripping over some books on the ground. Bel quickly ran over to pull him up. "Ah!" Fran pulled himself a bit away from Belphegor, "I need to get ready for the battle!"

"Ushishishi.. then I will leave you alone, froggy." Bel laughed.

Dining Hall

"EHHH? Everyone's here?" Tsunayoshi screeched as Fran, Belphegor and Kagami all entered the room. Seeing the familiar girl walking into the room, Ryohei stood up, bowing slightly to Tsuna as he walked over to the girl.

"Kagami-chan." Ryohei greeted. Kagami smiled sweetly, not evilly like she usually did.

"Ryohei. Didn't see you in a while, miss me?" Kagami laughed flirtingly. Ryohei turned away, blushing slightly.

"Never mind that. Juu-dai-me is waiting, knife guy and frog guy hurry up." Ryohei walked away from Kagami coolly. Fran looked at Ryohei and Kagami suspiciously. What relationship were they?

"Ano... Kagami-chan... she is my ex-girlfriend." Ryohei stuttered, looking away from the crowds.

"Ano, Tsuna-san, I would like to change the rules of this contest." Fran said immediately. Everyone stared at him at the same time it freaked him out, "ano..ano... if it bothers you guys then never mind..."

"EH? Welll... what does Kagami-chan think?" Tsuna asked daringly.

"Daijobu. I will win in anything. Anything." Kagami beamed at Bel suddenly.

"What do you want to compete in?" Tsuna asked again.

"Physical combat without characteristics."
