NoirFoxy: OMJ I POSTED!!! This is a filler chapter and the next chapter that I post, will be much more intense (hopefully). Anyways, I don't own anything except Aisu and the plot.


"Oh God, you're an EPIC FAIL!! You actually thought I didn't know about puberty? FAIL! No wait…I'm sorry, it's 'PHAIL' not 'fail'." Aisu howled. She fell to her knees as her small frame shook with laughter.

"Did you ever assume that I knew what you were doing the entire time?" Near asked, trying to take control of the situation.

"No." Aisu paused. "But I think you fell for it, otherwise I don't think you would bother to respond."

Before Near could answer, the doors burst open and Hal Lidner stormed her way over to Aisu, who squeaked and attempted to hide behind Near. The albino boy noticed that there was something unusual about his teammate today. She had much more makeup on than she usually did and she had a horribly drawn on black French moustache.

"It was all for fun! Don't kill me!" she wailed as she pushed Near towards the angry woman. Aisu threw herself under the desk and curled up into a ball, whimpering.

"Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't send you back to Mello and Matt!" she screamed. Near calmly shuffled out of the way, allowing Lidner to get to the child.

"It was just a joke!"

"You don't die people to chairs and waste ink and makeup!"

"Of course YOU don't!" Aisu snorted. "You're a grownup! Grownups are boring! They don't know what fun is! Except Near, even though he's not a real grownup, he's never known what fun is!"

"Alright! That's it! You are completely out of place and I've had it with you! Near! You're going to do what you promised to do and I am going to teach this brat some manners!" Hal screamed.

"Like hell you are! I can be polite when I want to be!"

"And when is that ever going to happen?"

"It'll never happen around you!"

"Well then…I think it's time to take Mello's advice into consideration."

"And what would that be?"

"He said, if she ever acts up, tie her to a chair." Hal ginned. Aisu's eyes widened and she scrambled out from under Near's desk and attempted to make a mad dash towards the open doors, into the land that she called freedom (the other areas of the headquarters).

"You'll never take me alive!" she screamed. Hal simply caught her by the scruff of her dress and grinned at her. Aisu gulped.

Two weeks had past painstakingly slow for the child in the care of Hal Lidner and Nate Rivers. Manners had been studied in her head daily and she was punished if they weren't displayed. Aisu had been solving small cases for Near, which gave the albino some free time off. He would watch her work and correct and help her when it was needed. Mello had kept true to his calls, and Aisu could be found blabbering happily away to her adopted "mother".

"Hey Mum, I think Near might let me join some of his cases soon. You know the ones with all the murders and that kind of stuff." Aisu said. Mello chuckled.

"So, I take it that you enjoy solving cases?"

"Yeah! I love shoving it in Sheepie Boy's face whenever I finish a case."

"That's good. I was wondering if you'd like to come home for a break a week before Christmas Eve? Matt and I decided to get a tree for Christmas."

"Sure, I'd like that. It'd be my first Christmas with a family that actually cared. Hey Mum, I got to go, Hal is calling for me! I got to get going to my manners class."

"Manners class? What is that?" Mello asked.

"Hal thinks I didn't have any because I insulted to her daily, so she's teaching me lol."

"Did you just say…..lol?"

"Yeah. Daddy says that all the time when we talk on the phone. I thought maybe I should say it as well, just to please him."

"Alright hun, I'm gonna go and talk to your father. You have fun solving those cases and doing whatever else you're doing." Mello said. He was about to hang up when Aisu's voice said something that made him drop the phone.

"Alright, see ya mum. I love ya." Aisu ended up hanging up with a bewildered look on her face when she heard a clang in the background. She called for her Mello but when she wasn't answered, she hung up.

"Was it something I said?" she whispered.

"Hey Matt, lol." Mello said angrily.

"Mels, did you just say…..lol?" Matt dropped his controller and turned to look at his boyfriend in shock.

"Yes I did. And so did Aisu." Mello growled.

"Did she? I wonder where she got it from…Heh…"

"Makes me wonder as well…." Mello said, glaring and began to advance towards Matt.

"Chocolate bar?" Matt gulped.
