"...Why did i also have to come along..."

Shoki muttered as he set up forks and knives on the table with a slightly annoyed expression on his face.

"Hey cheer up, atleast we get free homemade meals made by a beautiful woman!"

Gary said excitedly as he hurried to prepare the table with Shoki.

They were standing around a large family sized table in a very neat living room that looked obviously lived in by a woman, as the furnishings, carpets and wallpaper were all obviously carefully picked out.

The sound of clanking metal and things falling could be heard from beyond a nearby door. Beyond the door, Niko was currently being lectured by Hannah in the kitchen.

"Why should i have to help out in the kitchen, i have never even cooked before!"

Niko complained as she tried to walk out the room, before being grabbed by the ear, making her stop in her tracks.

"If you can't cook then i will just have to teach you, a girl should know how to cook for herself!"

Hannah said as she put an apron on Niko.

"But i'm NOT a girl, and even if i was i wouldn't bother learning how to cook, i have always survived on fast food, cooking is unnecessary!"

Niko tried to wriggle her way out of the apron as she complained.

"Look young lady, you either help me out with the cooking or i will have to teach you some manners!"

Hannah declared as she folded her arms.

"Oh please, what are you going to do, spank me?"

Niko said as she laughed sarcastically.

Hannah simply stared at Niko, her arms folded, making Niko feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Hannah continued to stare at Niko while being silent, Niko starting to feel an increasing weight from her gaze.

Eventually, when Niko felt like she would be crushed by the pressure from the womans gaze. Hannah stepped forward, making Niko jerk back unconciously.

"W-where should i start!"

Niko suddenly exclaimed, new fear and respect forming for the woman whose gaze could make a child cry.

"Glad you're so enthusiastic about it, Alisa!"

Hannah smiled.

"It's not Alisa, i'm Niko remember..?"

"Oh right..sorry about that, little Niko"

"Don't call me little..."

Niko sighed as she got to work helping Hannah.

--

A while later, all four of them were sitting at a large table in Hannah's living room, various foods covering the table.

"Ohoho, it's been so long since i last ate a home cooked meal, it looks deliii-cious!"

Gary laughed as he took up his fork and picked up a small looking vegetable with it.

"Oh, the vegetables were made by me, you better clean your plate you fat bastard"

Niko said as she noticed Gary already starting to eat, Which caused Gary, who was about to put the food in his mouth, stop suddenly.

"Ah i just remembered i had a large breakfast today so i sadly can't eat anymore..."

He quickly said as he put down the fork.

"Oh come on now, Alis- i mean Niko has done her best to cook that, shouldn't you alteast give it a try?"

Hannah encouraged him innocently from the side.

"No, really i'm completely full..."

"Come on..say aaaah~"

Hannah picked up his fork and held it up to his mouth.

Gary, who had spent spent most of his life single, Couldn't resist being fed by such a beautiful young woman, and instinctively ate the food on the fork, quickly realising what he had just done.

Suddenly, His eyes went wide, as foam started to form around his mouth, and his eyes rolled backwards.

"WELL, how was it?"

Niko asked impatiently.

"It..it was..delicious..."

Gary muttered out between his spasms.

"Good!"

Niko said with a very innocent and content smile on her face.

"How about you, Shoki?"

She asked him.

"...Not bad"

He said as he casually chewed on his last piece of vegetables.

"How...are you..still alive..."

Gary coughed out as quietly as he could.

"Poison resistance training..."

He answered as he kept chewing contently.

"I see.."

Gary muttered as he fainted, his head resting on the table.

They quickly finished their meal, Hannah and Niko apparently not having added any of Niko's cooking to their plates, and thus avoided certain demise.

"Sorry about forcing you to have dinner with me, shall we have a chat about what you guys are planning on doing next?"

Hannah asked, as Gary slowly recovered from his purple state.

"We... are going to Japan!"

Niko exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes...but we have to wait for Niko's new passport to arrive so we can actually leave the country...bluh!"

Gary said as he tried to keep himself from barfing all over the table.

"Well, can't we just use Alisa's old passport?"

Hannah asked, tilting her head.

"Well, we would if we could, but we dont even know where her family keeps thos-"

Niko began before suddenly stopping, slowly turning her head to look at the now smiling Hannah.

"I have all of Alisa's papers with me, so shouldn't it be fine?"

Hannah said, with an expression that said 'of course i would, i am her sister'.

"Well that issue is solved then, Gary how quickly can you book us a flight to the land of raining sake?"

Niko asked, poking the half dead Gary with a fork.

"Uh..i could get you a flight for a plane tommorow morning, i know a guy who works at the booking deparment..."

He said, clutching his stomach.

"Not for me, for us, you are coming too, Gary!"

"What, why!?"

He sprung up, his previous pain suddenly gone.

"Because, you offered me your sevices free of charge, remember? and one of those services is you acting as my personal lawyer, lawyers are always useful things to have!"

Niko explained.

"Things...i am flattered, but do you realise how much work i would be abandoning if i just left the country-"

He started before getting interupted by Niko.

"Don't care, either that or give me back my money!"

She said as she thrust her open palm towards him, as if asking for change.

"Kuh..fine..although i hope you realise that you are dooming my business..."

He relented with a deep sigh.

"Oh please, most of your business is handled on your computer, you will be fine~"

Niko waved her hand dismissively at the now grumbling Gary.

"I probably better go pack some things while i still have time!"

Hannah said as she got up.

"Wait what, you dont have to come, you would just be in the way"

Niko said with an annoyed expression.

"Alisa, i mean Niko, i told you already, i coming with you and thats that!"

Hannah said with an authoritative tone that made Niko remember the painful ear pullings.

"Yes ma'am.."

Niko quickly said, before casting an annoyed look at Gary who quietly snickering at Niko.

"Hah..whatever..well then we should be leaving now..."

Niko said as she, Shoki and Gary stood up and prepared to leave.

"No, no, You are staying with me!"

Hannah said as she grabbed Niko.

"Eh, why!?"

Niko exclaimed, struggling to free herself from the older womans grasp.

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

"Because, i need to make sure you dont just leave without me, and also to keep watch over Alisa's body!"

"Uh...fine.."

Niko sighed, as she was dragged away by Hannah, while Shoki and Gary left, with Gary giving Niko a departing wink which caused her eye to twitch in annoyance.

"Alright now first lets get you into some pajamas"

She said as she undressed Niko.

"Hey wait, what are you doing, i can dress myself!"

Niko complained, as Hannah ignored her.

"There we go, much better!"

She stepped back, giving Niko a look over.

Niko was dressed in a simple pink pajama, that was decorated with small hearts and stars.

"Uh..didn't you have anything else..?"

Niko complained.

"These are Alisa's so they are the perfect size, since it IS her body, so don't complain, now go brush your teeth, i don't want you getting bad teeth!"

She said as she pointed towards the bathroom.

After Niko had brushed her teeth, she was dragged out by Hannah into her bedroom.

"Alright now we should go to bed early since we want to be prepared for the trip tommorow, so come on"

She said, patting the bed spot beside her as she entered the bed.

"Look i can sleep on the floor or something, i can't really agree with sleeping in the same bed as a woman that i-"

Niko was interrupted by Hannah pulling her into the bed by her arm.

"Wait, stop it!"

Niko complained, but quieted down once she felt Hannah hugging her from behind.

"Hey.. what are you doing..?"

Niko timidly asked.

"I always used to hug Alisa like this when she wasn't in the hospital..."

She answered quitely as she squeezed Niko lightly like a soft toy, causing her to yelp out in surprise.

"D-dont do that..."

Niko said, embarassed by the wierd sound she made.

"Sorry, you're just too cute~"

"...I'm not..."

Niko knew that she lost the battle, and so decided to just try and get some sleep, while attempting to ignore the woman treating her like a plushie.

--

"They sure are taking their sweet time, damn that Niko, having fun with an older(?) woman, i'm so jealous..."

Gary complained to Shoki, who looked completely uninterested in Gary's ramblings.

They were both standing outside of a crowded airport, Gary carrying a compact briefcase that looked like it could only fit his laptop, and Shoki carrying a small sportsbag behind him.

Soon enough, they could see two familiar figures approaching from the distance.

Niko was currently attempting to run forward towards the airport, but was held back by Hannah who had a steady grip on her hand, like a parent making sure their child didn't accidently run over the street.

Hannah had a large carry case on wheels that she was dragging behind her, while she held Niko with her other hand.

"Let me go, damnit, we are going to miss the plane!"

Niko yelled as she attempted to run forward only to be pulled back again by Hannah's grip as if she was tied to her.

"I just want to make sure you don't get too far away from me, and we still have time before the plane departs"

Hannah calmly explained as if talking to a child.

They slowly approached the other pair, Niko trying to escape Hannah's grip the entire time, as Gary gave her a nasty smirk.

"Oi what are you laughing at!"

Niko yelled at him as she was still shaking her hand trying to get Hannah to release her.

"Nothing, Nothing, we should get going now, the plane leaves soon, and i got us first class seats!"

Soon enough, they were all boarded, Niko's papers not causing any problems as they were all genuine.

They were all seated on the same row, With Niko quickly taking the seat closest to the window, and Hannah taking the seat beside her, While Gary and Shoki sat near the edge.

The several hour trip consisted of Gary messing about on his laptop which seemed to have satellite internet connection, which he used in order to continue his work even on the plane, muttering things like "The monkey is in the banana patch, this case is mine.." Which Niko knew to be cryptic descriptions of what he was doing, but to everyone else sounded like an insane mans ramblings.

A waitress would occasionally come over and try to get Gary to turn his computer off and to not be so loud, but she eventually gave up, only giving him an annoyed look when she would pass by him.

Shoki was busy fiddling with the Golden sphere, rearranging the various runes and documenting what happened.

"Are you sure that's really a safe thing to do on a plane?"

Niko had asked him.

"Yes, i am currently only moving the runes which have not given me any reaction before so it shouldn't give a reaction larger than a spark at best-"

He explained as the sphere suddenly shook and gave off some sparks, the plane mirroring it's movements, making all the bags fall from the overhead holding places and into the small corridor and narrowly missing all the passengers heads.

"...I suppose i can watch a movie or something instead..."

He quietly said as he slowly put the sphere away, with Niko smiling awkwardly as she observed him.

Hannah spent the entire trip messing around with Niko, either trying to change Niko's hairstyle while Niko tried to avoid anything wierd being done to her hair, Or trying to teach Niko things about cooking and clothing, which Niko tried to ignore as best she could.

"We are here!"

Niko exclaimed excitedly as she smooshed her face on the window.

"Hehe..a new city to spread my legend in..."

Niko laughed in what she thought was an evil way, but instead look incredibly silly to anyone looking at the strange girl who was mashing her face into the window as she laughed in a strange manner.

"You really are a child at heart aren't you~"

Hannah smiled as she petted Niko's head.

"Hey, i am not childish, damnit!"

Niko complained.

"Oh please Niko, you've always been childish, remember that time when you wouldn't accept that one job even though you were offered several millions, just cause they tried to hire another guy before you?"

Gary said with a wave of his hand.

"Well, he was being really arrogant, acting as if i was just the second choice, screw him!"

Niko complained, Gary giving her a look that said 'Like i said' as he shrugged.

"Well you can be even more childish than me, remember that time when you spent a whole week trying to make that one woman fail her courtcase just because she said something about you wearing a wig!"

Niko retorted with a smug face.

"Hey, i do NOT wear a wig!"

He complained.

Gary and Niko continued to fight loudly, causing the other passengers to sigh in annoyance, With Shoki putting the volume on his movie a bit higher, as Hannah tried to get the pair to quiet down.

All the while this ruccus was going on, the plane was slowly flying through cloudly sky, a shining city of skyscrapers and billboards visible beneath it. The billboards so bright they could be clearly seen from the plane.

The Speakers in the plane announcing that they would be soon arriving at the Tokyo airport.
