Chi's POV
In The Attic:
We walked in quietly through the darkness of the room, I was a bit surprised by Aki, coz she never got up that easily. Normally, it would take about half an hour just to get her off her bed. We would even have to pull her up sometimes.
"Okay…Now where's that mirror?" she whispered as she cast a fire spell which illuminated the whole room in an instant, "We have to follow them…"
"Ehh? Nani?! You- you mean g-go in there?" I asked pointing to the dusty mirror on the far-end of the room, "There's no way you're gonna make me go in there!!"
"C'mon! Even Summie went in! You know how coward that girl is!"
"Yeah…but she only did it because Rhye dared her to…Besides…How will we know where they went? They could be anywhere in the world by now! Who knows?" I replied with a smirk, good excuse,huh?…Yeah, but not for Aki.
"Who knows? Yeah, baby! We know exactly where….and…when…" she assured, picking up something on the floor, she held it up and guess what it was? --her history book
"Uhmm…okay…Let's say they used that book…it doesn't make any sense. How will we know where?"
"I just know, Chi. Trust me on this, please?"
I know I don't have a choice anymore. I don't want to do this but we have to go after Summie and Rhye, and I can't let Aki do it alone. I don't want her to be alone anymore...
"CHI!"
"Eh?"
"Ikuyo.."
"Uh, hai!"
"Hold my hand…Don't let go whatever happens, okay?" she told me with her stupid smile.
Everything became dark, and I felt the ground dissolving, disappearing, Aki still holding my hand…The next thing I knew we're falling…From the ebony black it changed its hue to sapphire, just then we passed a white fog, it felt really soft, but then I realized what it was. It was a cloud that we passed through just now…You've got to be kidding me……….
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Summer's POV:
"Rhye-chan…Where are we? Are you sure we're in the right place?" I asked her.
"Shiranai…"
"Eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh!!!! We are so dead!!!" My sister must be really worried by now. I hope she wouldn't follow us here. sighs. We've been walking around for hours. I still don't know yet if we're in the right place. They say the mirror knows exactly where you want to go. At least, I hope that's true.
"I'm sure they'll fetch us here. So, let's wait, okay?"
"Yada! I wouldn't stay here waiting for help, if there's a way to get in here, there must be a way to get out!" I said as I sat down, pissed off with the thought of being helpless.
"Summie, don't be mad at me,ok? I'm scared,too. You know…Besides…I thought you want to look for the 4 ojisans that were in Aki's history book?" She told me with a grin, obviously cheering me up.
"Hmph! Okay! Let's go look for them first!"
Rhye smiled at me, she looked more beautiful when she smiles. Her smile comforted me. When Aki is not there, she's there for me, just like an older sister.
"Let's go?"
Grrrrrrrr…
"Choutou…I'm hungry…All I ate was a gallon of ice cream…"
"Hahahaha!" She laughed so hard her face went so red then she suddenly stopped, "WAh! Stupid me!! How can we buy? What will we use to pay the food we will buy?"
"This!" I handed out a couple of old crumpled bills and gold coins.
"Where did you get that?" She raised an eyebrow at me and asked, "You did not…."
"Yes, I did!!"
"That belongs to the Manor's museum, Summie! You shouldn't have stolen it."
"Well, I thought of giving it back, we're here anyway. I can pay them back."
"Fine! Let's race to restaurant!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhye's POV:
It was brave of her to steal or borrow those money from the manor. Summer and I raced to the nearest restaurant we saw, but as we came close to the restaurant, "Summer, abunai!!"
BOOM!
She bumped into a red-headed guy; they both knocked each other off, BIGTIME!
"Gojyo! What are you doing?! You knocked her off!" I heard a guy said; no…I think it was a boy with golden eyes and brown hair.
"Why me?!"
"Because you just have to run in the streets with my pork bun!"
"It was mine, you monkey!!!"
WHACK! WHACK!
A priest with shoulder-length golden hair, and purple orbs hit them with his fan, "Look at what you did!!!"
"Gomenasai…" Another guy apologized to me. He had green gentle eyes, and brown locks.
Just then, I remembered Summer.
"Summer! Are you okay?" I quickly stood her up.
"Itai…" She was crying, maybe it really did hurt a lot.
"Are you ok?" the red-headed guy, Gojyo and the boy approached her.
"Ah! Saru!!"
Summer seemed to be a little out of shape; she just called the boy a monkey!
"Saru te yuna! Hmph!" he whined.
