A/N: I suddenly had a suspense rush after reading "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. That was epic! Someone read it sometime. I swear, this second chapter will be improvised like the last time, because I don't have a lot of time for this. I am to end and upload this chapter in 30 minutes. I don't own Cirque du Soleil's KA, or any characters. ~Cristy.

The last lock fell off, and the door slowly creaked open. What is going to happen now?

Naomi

Once from what I could hear that the door was fully open. The hollow sound of footsteps filled the room. I surprisingly gained enough courage to take a quick peak outside of the blanket. A bright blue flash lit up the room, and there it was, the tall dark and creepy silhouette. But no man! No person! I suddenly went into a cold sweat, clenched onto Karasu's hand, and quickly covered my eyes from this. . .thing!

"Okay, on my cue, you give me your weapon, and we run to the Archer's den", Karasu whispered ever so slightly in my ear.

"How will I know what your cue is?" I replied. And then he did possibly the most stupidest thing he'd ever do.

"NOW", he yelled, and I practically jabbed this unknown weapon in his hand. With a slight push, the light cloth fell off. Karasu did something with the weapon that I had, and then he pushed a button and the whole room instantly felt like the air pressure got higher than it already was. He closed his door, grabbed my hand and ran for the den. Heh, he knows this place better than I do, I thought.

Another flash made the halls seem eerie. I then thought of something very important. What is going to happen to our Fathers? Believe me, I tried to slow down Karasu and tell him that, but he was too fast, and strong to stop. Down maybe three flights of stairs, I reached my second destination with my dear friend.

Thankfully, the den was already lit up by a few torches. This place is filled with weapons of the highest quality, so we could be as safe as possible in here and dangerously close to death at the same time! By now, we had both collapsed on the hard floor.

He flicked my nose.

"Ouch, what was that for?" I asked while rubbing the sore spot.

"You lead that person into my room! Now who knows what he could be doing in there? This whole place could implode by his command!" Wait. . .what?

"Now why would you have invented a machine that could implode our home?"

"Oh, I didn't invent it, while I was in the market an asylum keeper gave it to me. I only found out that it was that destructive a few weeks ago on the directions."

". . .Okay. . .anyway, Now what's going to happen to our fathers? They're rooms don't come with locks." He hesitated for a while, then answered.

"First of all, that weapon made the air pressure rise to an extreme level, only in that room. So, the person would pass out, dead by now. Secondly, there would be some reason why he's now going after us, right? So, what would be the point of him trying to sneak up on our fathers? There has to be some importance to us." You know, those explanations were obviously well thought out. I just simply nod at him.

Silence for a few moments, trying to catch our breaths. Then I speak.

"What's going to happen to us? Our fathers and the warriors are leaving for a business trip for the whole week, leaving us alone with whoever, or whatever's been following us." That is something that I am now very concerned about. Usually when we're left alone, there's a few Archers left behind to keep us safe in these kinds of situations. And just when we truly need them, they leave!

"Now let's not be so hasty at this hour. Lets just get some sleep, and when its time for the Archers to get up in a few hours, we'll be up and ready to start planning." He places a comforting hand on my shoulder, and gives me a smile that you cant resist. We pull each other into a friendly hug and kiss each other a good-night-that's-left. We lay down where we are, and leave the torches burning, and maybe get some rest.

Yeah, so much for a good night! I cant even get a blink of calmness inside of me. I sort of feel like it's all my fault. I am the one who practically dragged this nightmare on us. And there's still a long way to go before things will hopefully become normal again. Like it was ever normal before. . .

I let out a sigh, and find a few things that clam me down slightly. The soft pitter-patter of the rain makes me realize Karasu and I are not the only ones who are unsettled tonight. So is the Water Goddess, Oceane. I lay down on the hard floor, and I still cannot get any sleep, and all-nighter craziness has swept over me. I start braiding Karasu's hair, spinning and weaving it like its some sort of raven-like silk. I smile half-heartedly at the thought of it. Gosh, I am never going to live this down if he finds out that I've been messing around with his hair all night long.

After a while that seems like forever, the broad-sounding gong finally rings, and wakes up Karasu. He bolts up like a jumping bean.

"Good morning, if it is", I say trying to make things seem a bit brighter.

"Gah, I had this, this epic nightmare, about us being chased by someone and we had to sleep in the Archer's den", he says, still "asleep."

"Well, look around you". He does, and now I can tell that he's fully awake.

"Oh. Right. Do you want to check if they're still here?"

"As long as you go with me. It may be daylight now, but I'm still wary."

"Fine". We open the large, steel door and in front of us is a note, written in calligraphy.

'Naomi and Karasu: We left early, see you in a week! ~Budishou. Karasu: Don't blow up the palace. ~Otousan.'

"Well that's nice of them. . ." says Karasu.

"So. . .you've blown up houses before?" I ask.

A/N: I am starting to write more charismatically when I write on the spot. That's nice! Okay, now I got those two done. Now I have a feeling that the next chapter might be more suspenseful, so I suggest that you sleep with the lights on the next time you read another chapter of this.

Okay, so names:

Naomi=Beautiful (She is.)

Karasu=Raven (because of his hair.)

Budishou=Warrior (Chief Archer.)

Otousan=Father (Counselor.).

Anyone notice my KA/Dralion crossover thing in the middle? Eh? Okay, good night everyone! ~Cristy.
