The Last Slice Of The 'Journey To Marriage' Cake Is Finally Finished

The train's chattering as it arrived closer and closer to her destination was relaxing to her each and every time she was on it. The white noise almost lulled her to sleep if she didn't have the possibility to have to cater a wedding for her friends today.

People occasionally glanced at the maid as she read the magazine in her bag, her being a known figure in various types of industries. Kirumi glanced knowingly through the magazine before checking the date.

July 5, 2015, it read.

She placed the outdated magazine back in her bag and took out her phone. Trying to work out the rest its functions herself, having not found an appropriate time to figure it out. The jerking of the train signaled a new flood of people coming in and out, one of familiar posture walking across, almost out of her sight.

"Hey Kirumommy! Haven't seen you in centuries! Have you been avoiding me? How mean..."

Kokichi was adorned in a white suit with a  purple under-shirt, cuffs and chocker with a 'K' on its metal tag hanging onto it. His signature white and black handkerchief was tied around his wrist. Kirumi had a black dress with multiple, opaque black layers over them and heels with soft fabrics completing her more elegant style.

"Ah Oum-Kokichi, it has been indeed a long while since we've met each other's acquaintances. It's been a while since I've been in America, apologies if I stutter." Her movements stuttered as she almost went to bow, not wanting to make any type of scene.

"Why so? Is it for big bro's cake day?! I'm getting the first slice, just so you know." Kokichi said as he sat down next her.

"Don't you mean wedding? Him and Korekiyo are getting married, if I recall correctly."

"Yeah I know, but who cares? I wonder how many cakes their ordering, Ran-chan better give me first dibs! Nishshishi~!" He laughed as the train screeched to a hault, only one more sounding their destination.

"I've seen nothing has changed."

"Did you expect me to? Who wouldn't love my personality, nishishi! One person has already fallen for me, only with the help of 3 wingmans and women, 7 dates and a tragic reenactment of my life!"

"Only? Um... If you insist." Kirumi put her phone away in her bewildered state.

Kokichi pouted, "Geez mom, you have to take everything so literally. You actually act like an actual mom and it scares me."

"Well, I've been babysitting 16 teenagers throughout highschool and college. The motherly speech comes out sometimes, apologies."

"Well, not including me of course-" Kokichi was interruppted by the screeching of the train for the last time that they needed to hear it. They  both got off and started walking towards the given address.

"That actually reminds me, where is Shuichi?" Kirumi asked.

"He's already here ironically, he had some kind of investigation or something." Kokichi shrugged.

"Hopefully Rantaro and Korekiyo are doing well. I've heard they set this up quite late, I don't know if they've hired a caterer yet but I want to be early, just in case." Kirumi looks up in thought.

"In all honesty, which you only hear once in a millennium from me, I bet they'll do fantastically! But cake is my first priority."

"Honesty? That's new." Kirumi smiled to herself.

"Quitting the formalities? That's new." Kokichi retorted.

"People change from time to time if you allow them to. I've, figuratively, haven't had permission yet to say such things."
