A trio was walking down a deserted road towards a mansion. One was a tall man looking like he was in his late twenties, carrying a large casket-looking instrument case. The other two were two older looking teens holding hands, one had shaggy black hair a little past her eyes, and the man had unkempt red hair and lanky legs. They were going to visit someone who they haven't seen in over five years.

The girl knocked on the door, "I'm coming!" was the reply.

A man looking like he was in his early thirties opened the door. His eyes opened wide, "S…Saya!?"

She smiled, "Hi Joel, how's it going?"

"I'm surprised to see all of you back. Please come in." He said as he stepped aside, "Welcome to our home and the new Red Shield Headquarters."

"It's nice to be back but, can you tell me where David is?" The red haired teen asked.

A man stepped out from the main archway, "Right here Kai."

"Good, nice to see you're still alive and kicking. I have some information for you."

The blonde haired man mentioned for a woman to come over, "Julia, can you take the kids into another room?"

Kai's jaw dropped, "Julia!?"

The woman turned around, "Yes, I know. I've changed." She had her hair down around her shoulders and was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, "You're used to seeing me in a lab coat and dress with my hair up."

"Kids! Come on!" she said as she walked into another room followed by two little charges.

"About that information Kai, Does it have to do with the sudden decrease in chiropteran activity?"

"Uh, yeah… I'm surprised you noticed." Kai said with a grin.

"I'm a hunter…what did you expect?"

"Well, anyway…" Saya cut in, "They seem to be gathering on a secluded island off the coast of the U.S."

"That's odd…"

"I know…"

Everyone stood still for a minute thinking, until a caribbean-sounding voice came over the intercom, "The chefs just told me that dinner is ready, everyone get in here."

The small group followed David and Joel into the dining room.

"Welcome back Saya!" The same caribbean voice said.

She smiled and replied, "Hi Lewis."

The plump man sat down, "Lets eat, I'm hungry!"

After the dinner, Joel showed them to their rooms.

"Saya, this is your room." He said as he pointed to a double-door room, "And this is your room Kai." He pointed at a single door room.

Saya opened the doors and saw her room in the new HQ for the first time. It was a large room with burgundy colored drapes hanging over the windows. The walls were a rich cream color and a giant bed covered in satin sheets with a deep red color was located against the wall in the middle of the room, her eyes widened, "Wow… This room is really…um…"

Kai peeked through the door behind her, "Big? Huge? Giant?"

"Yeah…"

He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Lucky… you have this huge-ass room and I get stuck with that stupid little tiny-ass room." He pointed across the hall and laughed.

She leaned backwards into him and laughed.

"What the hell are you laughing for?!"

She just snickered.

"Saaaayaaaa…"

She giggled and replied, "Whaaaaat…." Copying his tone.

"Teeeelllll meeeee….."

"You'll find out later…. Now shoo." She said as she pushed him out of the doorway and closed the door.

Joel just stood there, "What the hell?"

"I don't know…" Kai said as he sighed and went into his room.

It was almost midnight and there was a knock on Kai's door. Getting up, he walked over to the door and opened it and answered, "What the hell do yo-" only to get dragged out into the hallway.

She put a finger on his lips, shushing him. Silently she walked backwards into her doorway and gestured for him to follow. He followed her and grinned, whispering, "I take it that this will be a repeat of what happened in Paris a few weeks ago…"

She closed the door and smiled, "Oh no…" She drew closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "It'll be better…"

He picked her up and carried her over to the bed.

She giggled, "I was waiting all night for this…"

"You're sneaky… you waited until everyone was asleep…"

She flopped onto her back and grabbed the collar of Kai's jacket in one motion, bringing him down with her, "No… Joel and David are still awake but, they won't hear us all the way in the study…" She finished grinning and kissed him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone knocked on the door the next morning. Yawning, Saya looked over at the man sleeping next to her and smiled. A smirk grew on his face, "Better go answer the door, before I get up and stop you…"

She hit him playfully and slid off the side of the bed. She donned a crimson robe and stretched. She heard the knock again.

'Damn... whoever is out there must be very impatient…' She thought as her eyebrow twitched, "I'm Coming!"

She opened the door and looked up, "Oh….um…hi David…."

He looked at her and gave her a quizzical look.

"What?"

"It's almost ten o'clock and you're still in your robe…"

She blushed, "I know…"

"Well anyway… we have a plane coming tomorrow to pick all of us up and take us to that little island off the coast of Florida…"

"I see…"

"Well, I just wanted to tell you and Kai that, but I can't find him anywhere…"

Saya's face went blank, "Well…um…yeah…so, bye then!"

"Hang on… there's one more thing."

"Yeah?"

"There may be a whole bunch of--"

He was interrupted by someone flushing a toilet, slamming a door and yelling, "Saya! Who was it?"

Kai stepped out from the bathroom, wearing only his boxers, and looked at Saya. She froze and wanted to smack him.

"Oh…." He blushed and rubbed the back of his head nervously, "Well….I….uh….don't really know how to explain this…"

David just had a blank stare, "No need… I fully understand what is going on…"

The teens laughed nervously.
