They reached the restaurant and waltzed to the counter where a human collie was eating. At least that was how Izaya would put it given the quantity of hair that covered this creature's face to the point of completely covering his eyes. But he still seemed to see the juicy piece of maguro in front of him.
"Hehehe, a meal fitting for a prince such as myself."
"Sempai, you need to watch your calories. You'll become fat like that useless engineer."
"Tch."
Izaya approached the huge frog hat under which was someone he recognized right away.
"Kasuka! Imagine, finding you here! Still as deadpan as ever."
Fran did not blink. He stared at the newcomer and at the Vongola members.
"Kasuka? Wrong, wrong, I'm Fran."
Before anyone had any idea of what was going on, there were knives thrown around and then Belphegor's bang fell prey to Izaya's blade skills. Belphegor jumped to his feet and flailed dramatically.
"Argh! My hair! My princely hair!"
"Bel-sempai, seems like you actually have eyes. Amazing."
"Shut up, you frog! And you, you, you-"
Belphegor pointed at Izaya at struggled for words. Fran decided to help:
"Guy who kicked my ass completely and pretty much showed I am not all that great? Oh yeah, and he only had a blade."
"You'll pay for this! And shut up, Frog!"
The snickering was knocked out of Belphegor and he dragged Fran away without finishing his sushi so that he could plan some grand revenge plot. Izaya waved at them.
"Bye bye, Kasuka! That green dye suits you, too!"
And with this Izaya sat at the counter and gobbled the tuna. Tsuna sat next to him, tentatively, and Gokudera followed muttering. Yamamoto went to the other side of the counter to help his father prep. Izaya's phone rang with a happy-go-lucky tone and he picked it right away.
"Hello, Bya-chan! How's it going? Sure, hang on."
Izaya pressed a button and projected a hologram of a gleeful fellow whose smile filled his face and turned his eyes into slits.
"Byakuran? You know Byakuran?"
The Vongola members nearly face palmed.
"Bya-chan is my friend. We go to marshmallow parties."
Byakuran nodded in his friendly way of his that bordered on psychotic.
"Iza-chan, Sho-chan wanted to say hello but you see, he can't really talk right now."
Tsuna stopped Gokudera from blasting away the hologram which would not achieve anything. This '-chan'ing was getting out of hand.
"What did you do to Shoichi-kun? Put him on the line!"
Byakuran blinked, ate a fluffy marshmallow and glanced down.
"Hmm…Sho-chan doesn't want that, I'm sure. Neh?"
A bit of red hair showed very briefly, Byakuran patted it and brought it down unto his lap. Izaya chuckled. Tsuna was the first to react.
"We can't show this in a shounen show!"
Shoichi's voice was heard in the background, his face still not showing.
"Byakuran-san, people are not supposed to know about this!"
"Oh? Sho-chan, don't be silly. Everyone knows you're my bitch. In every dimension, even."
Tsuna rocked back and forth.
"We'll be rated R18 now! Argh!"
Gokudera chimed in.
"Don't worry, Juudaime! We'll just erase the fans' memories with my new improved system enter random letter combination here!"
All along Izaya ate his sushi. Ootoro was the best.
"Sho-chan, don't go spilling any drop. Or I'll have to claw your throat open. Neh?"
Tsuna pointed to the hologram with a shaky finger.
"Scary! Byakuran is scary! How can you say such horrible things and add 'neh' like it's nothing!"
Izaya added soy sauce to his rice and ate some wasabi.
"Ah, Bya-chan is so lucky. I wish I had some childhood friend turned subordinate turned rebel that would blow me. No wait, there is always Kida. Not exactly the same but he's not too bad, no."
Byakuran smiled happily and pulled up Shoichi, placing on his lap and feeding him a marshmallow.
"It's….Orihara Izaya!"
"Hello, Shoichi-kun! I'm afraid I can't '-chan' you because your owner can be terribly jealous."
Shoichi noticed the Vongola members and turned into a shade of red that matched his hair.
"Tsunayoshi-kun, it's not what it looks like! It really isn't! I was just- erm, pretending so that I could gain Byakuran-san's confidence. Yes, that was all!"
"Now, now, Sho-chan. Do lick it off, there's still some on your face."
