Hi, sorry I haven't updated for a while. But here's the next chapter, rack up the reviews, and enjoy! :D

Buttercup and Kaoru woke up early the next day. Kaoru left a note saying that they had gone to the water park and would be eating out. Kaoru grabbed two packs of Little Bites chocolate chip muffins, handed one to Buttercup, and ran out the door.

They were half-way down the street when Kaoru said, "Oops. I had to transform, but I forgot to. Mind if I do it right now?"

"Sure."

Buttercup and Powered Buttercup reached the old house. Buttercup shuddered at it. What was in there right now? They were about to find out. Just as they were heading towards it, they heard a sing-song Japanese accent behind them.

"POWERED BUTTERCUP IS SCARED!"

Kaoru turned around. It was Butch. She yelled something at him in Japanese and Butch screamed something back. Then Kaoru walked back to Buttercup. "Ready?" she asked. She quickly turned to see if anyone was watching. Lowering her voice, she added, "They don't let you here unless you're an estate agent thing. C'mon, let's go."

Buttercup and Kaoru ducked into the house. The floor boards creaked with every step they took. While Powered Buttercup examined a musty kitchen, Buttercup went to investigate upstairs. Kaoru had found a broom and big pot. She had peeked inside the pot and found a note. It was written in Japanese with black ink. The slip of paper was yellow. Powered Buttercup squinted to read the characters. It said: I know you're here. Leave right now. I'm watching you. Powered Buttercup shook her head. "This is a really old house," she told herself. "Surely there wouldn't be any zombies, ghosts, or witches around here. That's all just make-believe." Then something else occurred to her. She and Buttercup may be one and the same, but what if her new friend believed in ghosts? She headed upstairs.

"Hey, Powered BC. I found this cool bedroom. It has a mattress with feathers coming out. Wanna see?" Buttercup pulled her friend over to a very old bedroom. It was dimly lit and Kaoru could see that there was an overstuffed mattress with feathers coming out of it. It looked like it had exploded in a chemical reaction. "And this is the best part." Buttercup picked up a yellow slip of paper with Japanese characters on it.

Kaoru gasped. Another note!
