Author's Note: It's Minako's day out! I just had to put something in. I guess it's a filler…? Sort of? Anyways, I want to say thanks for your continued support! I know I was bad with updating a lot since October… So, I'll try to make it up since summer's here.

I throw on a white hoodie over my black tank top. I had put on a red pleated skirt and a red and black striped pair of thigh length socks before. I take the pair of rectangular red glasses with lenses that have no prescription and put them on. I don't look so much like myself, but that's the point. I look at myself in the mirror. All the red looks strange with my steely grey eyes, but I guess it doesn't matter much. I put on a pair of black ankle boots before walking out of my room. I glance down the hallway. There's no one around. I walk out of the exit to the base unnoticed. I look around. I'm at Namimori Shrine. I check the rings and boxes in my pocket- the all the rings are covered by Mammon Chains. I nod to myself and start to walk to town. No one should know me, should it should be okay. I let out a quiet sigh. It feels like there's lots of space suddenly. The base was getting crowded.

I look around the shopping district as I walk around casually. It doesn't seem like too much has changed. I could almost imagine that I'm back in present time if I ignored the Millefiore people milling about. They don't pay any attention to me though. I walk into the bookstore that I went to often in present time to find that I've never seen any of the books before. I should have realized. I lose interest and walk back out. It's weird to be an area that seems so familiar, but so different at the same time. I catch the eye of a Millefiore member who looks at me carefully. Shoot. I can't start fighting somewhere like this. They have cameras set up here. If the others see me start to fight, they'll rush here without a doubt. That's the last thing I need to happen.

I walk further away out of the shopping district to any random street that shouldn't be under surveillance. From the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of the Millefiore member following me still. I small smirk appears on my lips as I see male with dark brown hair walking this way. He's concentrated on his cell phone. I wait until just the right moment before skillfully tripping on air. I fall onto the male and we hit the sidewalk. I catch the Millefiore member looking shocked because Hibari, Minako is not known for being clumsy.

I close my eyes and rub the back of my head. "Ow…" I mutter. I hear the male get up. I open my eyes to see a hand stuck out in front of me. I look up and the male and smile. He looks like a kind person. I take his hand and get up. I bow. "I'm sorry, please forgive me," I apologize immediately. I rub the back of my head. "Heheh… I was always told that I'm clumsy sometimes." I laugh a little. I see the Millefiore member leave because Hibari, Minako doesn't act like this.

He smiles a little. "Ah, don't worry," the male replies. "Are you okay?" he asks. His brown eyes are a little wide now.

I nod and look back up at him. "Yes, thank you." I smile.

"I don't think I've seen you around before, do you live around here?" he asks.

I shake my head. "No, I live in Tokyo," I reply. "I came here to visit my…Uncle and his family."

"Are you lost or anything?" he asks.

I widen my eyes a little. "How did you know?" I ask. I'm not such a bad actor…

He smiles. "I'm magical," he replies jokingly. I laugh. "Where are you heading towards?"

"Mm…the hotel," I reply slowly. "The one by the station?" I let out a quiet sigh. "I'm not in a rush to get back though. It's so crowded back there."

He looks a little confused, but then he offers, "Want me to show you around town?"

"Ehh?" I ask. "You don't have to. You must be busy," I reply. I should…head back maybe. I'll go buy food and head back to the base.

"It's fine. Come on, let's go," he says. He takes my wrist. I don't react as I normally would because I'm not me. "Oh, by the way, I'm Ito, Hayate." That name sounds familiar… Ah, he's the sibling of one my students in my class.

I grin at him and I reply, "Suzume, Minako." *Close enough…sparrow instead of skylark.

I watch as a blonde male around the same age runs over to us and exclaims, "Hey Hayate! A bunch of us are gonna…go play…basketball?" His sentence turns into a question and he stares at me. His blue eyes are blank.

"Oh hey, Rei," Hayate replies with a small wave. The male named Rei continues to stare at us. Ito turns to me and then looks at my hand and then back to me. He jumps away from me suddenly, his cheeks turning a bit pink. "W-Wait, Rei…! It's not what you-"

Rei shakes his head. "Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were friends..." he says.

"Like I said, it's not-"

"I know, I know. I'm kidding, geez." Rei turns to me. "Yo, nice to meet you. I'm Hayate's friend- Griffiths, Rei." Oh, a foreigner.
I tilt my head to the side a little. "Nice to meet you...um…Griffiths-kun?"

He laughs. "It sounds weird right? It's okay. You can just call me Rei."

"Alright," I say with a grin. "Oh yeah, I'm Suzume, Minako."

"Anyways, I was gonna go on and show her around town, so you can go on without me," Hayate says.

"What? And let you go around town hand in hand with a pretty girl? No way. Count me in too," Rei says.

I laugh a little. I smile as I see Gokudera walk up behind Rei and Hayate. "Ah Gokudera-kun?" I greet. Hayate and Rei turn around, their eyes wide.

He raises his right eyebrow a little. "They've been looking for you like madmen, Minako," he says.

"Oh? I'm sorry about that. You know how I am. I got lost," I say.

"Come on, let's head back," he says. He takes my wrist and starts to drag me away.

"Okay, okay," I reply. I turn to Rei and Hayate and say, "It was nice meeting you." I wave and then turn my back to them. When we get out of sight from them, I turn to Gokudera. "You don't have to keep holding onto my wrist, you know?"

"Finally, you're back to normal," he comments as he lets go of my wrist.

"I knew that they'd be looking for us, so I changed my appearance and personality enough," I reply. My eyes dart around the area. Safe for now.

"Shouldn't you have avoided talking to those people?"

"Hm, I guess. It couldn't be helped though. I had the throw them off," I reply.

"What do you mean?"

"One of the Millefiore people started to trail me. So when I saw the brunette further down the street, I 'tripped' and fell on him. After that, I said 'Ow…' That seemed to convince the Millefiore person well enough."

"Tch." He seems to be considering this. "Then why were you still around after that?"

"My goal was to not act like myself. Besides, he was too insistent on 'helping out' since 'I'm here visiting from Tokyo,'" I reply. "Why? Are you jealous?" I suggest.

"W-What makes you get that impression, woman?!" he exclaims.

"Hey, people are looking. Don't disturb the peace," I warn. I let him calm down a little first before I raise my right eyebrow. "Ah, Mukuro would be mad if he was around," I say. Now that I think about it, I still never go to that letter…

"Since when do you make fun of people like that…?" Gokudera seems a bit confused.

Now that I think about it, I'm confused too. "Hm…" I start. "It must be from talking to Fran so much. Sorry," I reply.

*"Close enough…sparrow instead of skylark."

Note: For those of you that don't know, "Hibari" is "skylark" in Japanese. So here, Minako changed her last name to "Suzume," which means "sparrow."
