Chapter One

"Now remember, I'll be gone for exactly one month to handle this issue. You all be good, and listen to Akane please. And remember, if you need anything at all, you only need to call..." Mr. Fanomi started.

"But don't call unless it's an emergency, because you'll be working from the time you awake till the time you go back to sleep." Miho finished. "Make sure to sleep, eat, and practice our Japanese so we don't forget it. We know."

The kids laughed quietly as he began looking for his keys, Hideo spotting them on the counter and handing them to the man. "Yes, thank you. Now, I have to go, but I love you all."

Over the time the three had been living with him, Mr. Fanomi had really stepped into the fatherly role for them. He had been there, and they really felt like a family together, so of course they were a bit sad to watch him leave, knowing that he wouldn't be back the same night. But, even so, they smiled at him, speaking in sync, "We love you too dad."

"And I promise I'll take good care of them." Akane said, smiling at the family. The kids looked over to her, smiling back as their parental figure left the house.

"Well then, what do you all feel like doing now?" Akane asked as soon as the man was out of the driveway. The kids shrugged, not really knowing. Akane looked thoughtful for a moment, before suggesting something. "How about we play a make believe game?"

"Roleplaying?" Miho asked, thinking about it for a moment.

"I'm game, what are we pretending?" Hideo asked, the girls nodded, agreeing to play as well.

"Okay, you three remember that show we watched a while ago, I think it was called No Game, or maybe No Life, something like that..."

"It was both, It was called No Game No Life, but yeah, we remember." Miho answered.

"Ah, wonderful. Well then, pretend I'm like that jolly little boy in the show. I can take you to a different world altogether then. How about... Oh! The show that Miho likes to watch! Yes, what was it now? Dinosaur King, right?"

"Yeah, do you know how it works?"

"Well, I know a bit, I'll try anyways. You all like the show, correct?"

"Yep." The kids said, once more in unison."

"Ah, that's great. Well then, let's start with this then. If you could go there, what elemental stone would you like to have?"

"I don't know... I think I'd like to be able to use them all. I mean, there are three of us and six elements. No matter what, we wouldn't be able to use all the dino's if we each had one element. But, I guess, if I had to choose, it would be wind." Miho stated. "And fire would fit Hideo, water does the same for Kamiko."

Miho looked at her siblings who smiled and gave sounds of approval, causing her to laugh a bit. She looked back to Akane to add, "and it would be great if we had a team with three more people for the other elements. Akane noted that, deciding that it would be easier to just let them each use all the elements. Given just how far her powers went, she knew it was possible.

"Okay then. What dinosaurs would you like to have?" Miho took a moment to consider this question carefully. She glanced at her siblings for a moment, silently asking them to go first. Hideo shook his head slightly. "A Saurophaganax I guess, they seem pretty cool."

Kamiko looked towards her sister for a moment before looking back at Akane. "I would choose an Irritator."

Miho was still thinking about it. She sighed finally. "I didn't think it would be this hard to choose. I wonder, would it be okay if I chose two?"

"Of course, I am Tet after all, there's nothing I can't do!" Akane smiled at her, finding the fact that it was hard for her to chose quite adorable and innocent.

"Okay then, I would choose a Pterodactyl first. They don't originally have those as dinosaur cards, but move cards instead. That would make that particular card a bit more special, and no one would be expecting it. Then, a Carnotaurus. I like that dinosaur a lot, plus, Ace is one too." She said, recalling the info about the dino's in the show.

"Well then, those sound like good choices. What gender would they be?"

"Male for the Saurophaganax, obviously." Hideo answered, grinning.

"I hope I could have a female Irritator." Kamiko said, voice soft.

"I guess, a boy and a girl? I think the Pterodactyl would be female and the Carnotaurus would be male."

"Great. Now, who would be the leader of the group?"

"Miho knows the most about that world, she'd be the best choice." Hideo piped up.

"I agree, you'd be the obvious choice." Kamiko said, smiling at her younger sister.

"Awe, thanks guys! That's so sweet." Miho said, pulling them both into a hug. Kamiko, who hadn't been expecting it, jumped a bit, and Hideo chuckled, patting her on the back.

"How adorable! Alright, let's start!" Akane said, pulling out her phone. She typed up a quick message, and sent it to the three, who's phones all went off at the same time.

'Are you ready to go to Dinosaur King?' The kids smiled, laughing a bit before sending there replies, thinking the text was just to be more in the feeling of the game.

'Heck Yeah!' Hideo responded, is leap first look later attitude shining through. Kamiko and Miho both looked at him and then the babysitter before they answered.

'Of course!' Was MIho's reply.

'Why not.' being Kamiko's

'Then let's get started...'

The screen's on their phones went dark, yet none of them had turned them off. They looked questioningly towards Akane, just as her eyes began to glow and the lights around them dimmed until they were off completely. A strange sound, almost like static filled the room for a moment before the TV turned on, showing that Akane was no longer sitting in front of them. Miho clung to her siblings, who seemed to be backing further into the couch they had sat down on when Mr. Fanomi left.

With the static noise gone, they could hear the cheerful voice that filled the air. The voice that the children instantly recognized as the missing babysitter.

"Well then, let the game begin!"

The light brightened until it was harsh enough to blind them if they'd kept their eyes opened. The static like noise filled the air, which felt as though it was choking them, and then, there was nothing. Total silence filled the air for a moment before they could breath once more, each taking deep, labored breaths.
