Chapter 1

The Mysterious Bottle

Chocolove and Ryu were heading to Yoh's house. When they were walking they saw the said teen leaving with Anna, and Manta walking the opposite way. Chocolove noticed that they were probably going to the store, since Manta had a bag on his side.

When they were out of site Chocolove said, "Hey Ryu, I dare you to enter Yoh's house." Chocolove dared him.

"No." Ryu said.

"Why? Are you a chicken?" Chocolove smirked at the older teen.

"I don't feel like dying today." Ryu said with a shaky voice.

"CHICKEN!" Chocolove accused him.

"Fine! I'll enter the Inn. If I die, you stay away from my funeral." Ryu said.

"Sure thing." Chocolove said.

"Hey wait why do I have to go there alone?" Ryu accused.

"You want me to tag along?" Chocolove said.

"Yes." was the simple answer Ryu gave him.

"Fine. Let's go." Chocolove cheered.

They entered Yoh's house until a light caught Chocolove's attention.

"Hey Ryu check this out, I found Anna's room!" Choco said.

"I'm not going in there. I actually value my life." Ryu said looking scared.

Chocolove opened the door to see Anna's room. It was full of book shelves, many scrolls neatly placed in a box. What caught Chocolove's attention was that there in the middle was a crystal clear small bottle with red liquid inside of it. The bottle was inside a star shape form in the floor, around the star was four long candle sticks making a square.

"What's that?" Ryu asked a bit freaked out.

"I don't know?" Chocolove said looking at it, and he picked it up . It was not small nor too big.

"Drink it." Ryu said, "I dare you." he smirked as he saw Chocolove scared a bit.

"I don't-" he was cut off by the door trying to open.

"Shit!" Ryu cursed.

"What do we do?" Chocolove was panicking.

"We jump out the window." Ryu opened the window and jumped out.

While in the process of trying to escape Chocolove's skirt was caught in the candle stick and fell down.

"Oh, no!" Chocolove said panicking. He saw the flames come alive in the old dried up papers and books.

"Hurry we have no time left." Ryu said noticing the fire. They ran, like their lives depends on it. Correction their lives DO depend on it.

"If we ever get caught, I blame you." Chocolove said catching air.

"What the hell. It was your idea!" Ryu scowled.

"You could have stopped me." Chocolove said.

"That's it I'm going to go confess." Ryu was about to leave.

"Confess what Ryu?" a familiar voice said from behind them. Both teens froze.

"Manta. What's up little one?" Ryu said looking at Manta.

"Hey Chocolove, what's that on your hand?" Manta said looking at Chocolove's hand. In Chocolove's hand was a small clear bottle, with red liquid.

"This is er… a uh… um…" Chocolove was freaking out.

"That my short friend is, a uh… a hair conditioner. So Choco can have his hair nice and soft." Ryu said quickly.

"Okay…" Manta not believing them. Decided to drop the subject.

"Where you going?" Chocolove said looking at Manta.

"To Yoh's. We are expecting company in a bit." Manta said walking. Chocolove and Ryu next to him. When they both heard him say those words then they started to panicked.

"Oh! Company he should be busy then." Ryu said.

"W-who's c-coming?" Chocolove could barely speak.

"Faust, Pilika, Lyserg, Ren, Horohoro,-" Manta was cut.

"Lyserg's coming!" Ryu said with a happy tone.

"Yes, Ryu." Manta said with a sigh, he felt sorry for Lyserg now.

"Why are they coming?" Chocolove said confusion in his voice.

"Well it's Horo's birthday tomorrow. Yoh convinced Anna to throw a birthday party." Manta said.

"You guys were going to party without us!" Ryu accused Manta.

"No, we were looking for you guys a while ago." Manta said.

"Oh well, why didn't you tell us we were also looking for you guys as well." Chocolove said.

"At least I found you guys. Since I'll need help to decorate the Inn." Manta said.

"I knew it. Anna always makes us work." Ryu said.

"But at least everyone's coming!" Manta said.

"True." Chocolove said.

They kept walking like that for a while. Chocolove's thoughts kept going to the bottle in his hand. He wanted to throw it away, but the 'what if' is coming on his mind. He was very scared for his life. Considering Anna will ruin it; if she found out that her mysterious bottle was gone.

"What happen?" Ryu said looking at the fire fighters putting out the water with the hose.

"It looks like someone burned down something." Manta said.

"Who-" Chocolove cut himself. He just remembered that his skirt was caught in the candle. He quickly panicked.

"What's wrong Chocolove?" Manta said looking at Chocolove's face in panic.

"Nothing." Chocolove assured him forcing a smile.

"Okay, you're starting to freak me out Choco. Since I have just seen you, you haven't crack a lame joke or something." Manta said worried. What if Chocolove was coming down with a disease.

"What oh no. I feel okay." Chocolove said.

"Hey guys, guess what happen!" Yoh said interrupting their conversation.

"We just got here. What did happen?" Ryu said looking at the brunette.

"Anna's room was caught on fire, and everything was burned to the ground." Yoh said with a bit of a scared face.

"Who could have done it?" Manta said looking worried.

When the fire fighters were done, they told Yoh that someone had caused the fire. The candles couldn't have fallen on their own; they were the heavy kind. When Anna heard this she got mad. No one dared to talk to her. Even Yoh knew to stay away from her, when she was mad.

"Who ever did it, the day I find that person will suffer." Anna said with an emotionless face. Her eye held another story, she's beyond mad. When Ryu and Chocolove heard her threats, they didn't dare confess. They knew that their life was on the line.

"Oh, well… Come in you guys." Yoh said smiling. They sat at the table. Anna sat in front of the television watching a movie.

"So we heard that tomorrow it's Horo's birthday." Ryu said trying not to be nervous.

"Yup. And tomorrow we are making him a party." Yoh smiled.

"Aw. That's nice," Chocolove said.

"So will you guys come and help us start the preparations?" Manta said.

"Of course!" both Ryu and Chocolove said at the same time, with a big smile in their faces.

"Okay just try to be here tomorrow as early, as possible." Manta said.

"Hey, I heard that the rest of the gang is coming… including Lyserg?" Ryu blushed a bit when he said his name.

"Yup." Yoh said smirking at Ryu's blush.

"But, how did you convince Ren?" Chocolove said amazed.

"It wasn't hard… unless you had to beg for hours." Yoh said.

"Then he says yes…" Ryu said almost in shock.

"It's been a while since last time I saw him." Manta said.

"What only three years." Yoh said. Then the door bell rang. "I'll get it," he smiled again and left.

"Who is it?" Ryu quickly… almost ran after Yoh.

"Ah, welcome I thought that you will never make it." Yoh said with a big, bright smile on his face.

"Lyserg!" Ryu threw himself at the person.
