I made some spelling mistakes in the first chapter sorry! I'm a new fanfic writer so I'll probably make some minor mistakes. But enough of that, I shall continue.

The walk was not as long as Cleo thought it would be. Her and Phantom R passed under hundreds of glowing Parisian street lamps, it made her cuddle up with him as they walked. Phantom R's cheeks were red as fire by the time they got to the apartment. He shook his head.

"Well, here we are." He stood in front of a glowing apartment building.

Cleo looked at it. "It looks quite nice for an apartment block"

He shrugged. "So do you want to go in?"

"Alright don't rush me." Cleo took a step in, then faced Phantom R. "Oh by the way, you might want to keep that stolen painting more hidden" She pointed towards constables milling around in the distance. Phantom R gulped loudly and quickly went inside. Cleo snickered and followed him.

Soon enough they were both inside the apartment. Phantom R put down the painting and fell upon his bed. He held his head softly and breathed out through his nose. His fedora slowly came off his head and gently fell onto his pillow that he was laying his head on.

Cleo went over to him and sat on the bed. "Tough night huh?"

Phantom R looked at her and smiled sleepily. "It would have been more than that if you weren't there"

Cleo combed through his hair. Silky smooth. It felt like she was running her fingers through melted chocolate, red melted chocolate. This made Phantom R blush all the more and giggle a little bit.

Phantom R fully opened his eyes. "There's something I need to do" He got up.

Cleo followed him with her eyes. "What? What is it?"

"Just hold on a minute.." Phantom R took off his jacket, tie, fedora, he stopped and looked at Cleo. "You might not want to look"

Cleo understood what he meant and put her face into the pillow. She waited, thoughts swirling around her head. What was he doing? It could be nothing but then again….

Some footsteps were heard behind her followed by a chuckle. "Hey it's okay" Something took her chin and gently lifted her head up from the pillow. Cleo looked up and saw a puzzling sight.

The guy had red hair so she was sure it was him but he now had glasses on and was wearing a sweater.

"This is the real me, my real name is Raphael" The boy with the glasses said.

Cleo blinked at him. "You look so different from your Phantom R self"

Raphael giggled and said nothing.

"So you can only see a short range or what?"

Raphael knew what she was talking about. He took off his glasses, threw them in the air and caught them. The part where the lens should be went through his finger, revealing no lens on the glasses. He whirled them around his finger. "These glasses are fake, I've got perfect vision. I only use these for disguise" He put them back on.

Cleo was surprised. "I guess you do need them so the constables won't find you"

Raphael yawned. "Yeah. That heist has really left me winded."

Cleo yawned as well and stretched. "I think we should get to bed, don't you?"

Raphael pulled the covers on his bed back and gestured to Cleo.

Cleo stared at it. "We're going to sleep in our clothes?"

Raphael shrugged. "You can get changed if you want but I don't feel up for changing into pajamas tonight"

Cleo took off her shoes, fedora and necklace. She hopped into the bed. Raphael took off his glasses and shoes and jumped in with her. He pulled the covers over him and Cleo.

They looked at eachother for a while. "Jeez it's hot in here.." Raphael took off his sweater and his shirt. Cleo gazed upon the muscle he had built up. It was almost a six pack. Raphael looked at Cleo. "Is there something on my chest?" Cleo shook her head frantically. She blushed and looked away.

She felt something tug on her jacket. "Are you sure you don't want to take this off? It's really hot in here" Raphael was trying to take off her jacket.

Cleo took it off herself and then threw it outside the covers. "I guess it is quite hot in here."

Raphael turned off the light and then got back into bed. They both stayed silent for some time.

"..Raphael?" He opened his eyes and recognized the voice as Cleo's.

"Yeah?" He said sleepily.

"I...I'm scared of the dark.." Cleo started shaking.

Raphael was confused by this. "Really?" He asked. Cleo had come across tough seeing as she had knucklebusters and could punch a constable so hard that it sent them flying through the air. Raphael stayed silent for a minute before hugging her tightly.

Cleo hugged him back. "..Thank you.." She said tiredly.

They embraced each other for a while. Finally Cleo went to sleep and Raphael let her go. It was a bit too awkward for him, seeing as he was shirtless and all. Plus she was 4 years younger than him, if he hugged her out in public people would assume that they were related. Raphael didn't like the thought, but he soon closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning Cleo woke up and saw that Raphael wasn't in the bed.

"He must be up already.." Cleo yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Cleo heard some humming coming from the kitchen. She followed the sound and saw Raphael, fully dressed and dancing round the kitchen while doing normal household chores.

Cleo stared at him before giggling quietly. "What is he doing?!" She whispered to herself.

Raphael put the kettle on, jumped onto the kitchen table and backflipped off it. Phantom of the Opera was playing on the radio as he was putting his clothes into the washing machine. "~In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came. That voice which calls to me and speaks my name~" He closed the washing machine door and then did a ballerina twirl. "~And do I dream again? For now I find, The Phantom of the Opera is there. Inside my mind~"

Cleo was amazed at Raphael's singing voice. She never knew the phantom of Paris could sing.

The radio suddenly switched to a new station. Raphael stopped and went over to it. "Oh are you kidding me?" He banged it with his fist a couple of times until it played a song he knew. "Oh I love this song!" Raphael spun towards the kettle and poured the hot water into a mug. "~We've come too far to give up who we are. So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars!~"

He put coffee beans into the mug and started stirring it.

"~She's up all night till the sun, I'm up all night to get some. She's up all night for good fun, I'm up all night to get lucky~" He put the mug down and jumped back onto the kitchen table. He tapped his foot as if he was waiting for something. "Just wait for the Daft Punk part to kick in.." Once it did Raphael started to breakdance on the table. He did flips, headspins, the works. Fondue danced with him and jumped around on the table. Raphael had worked up a sweat after that. He leaned against the kitchen counter and picked up his mug of coffee.

"Man, life is good." He took a sip.

Cleo couldn't hold it in anymore. She burst out laughing.

Raphael spat out his coffee and coughed. "C-Cleo?!"

Cleo fell on the floor and rolled around laughing. "Hahahaha! Oh my…..g-HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Raphael knelt by her side. "Easy now, you won't be able to breathe."

Cleo was crying with laughter now. Tears came out from her eyes.

Raphael held Cleo's two shoulders which made her stop. "Take it easy, I can't have you dying on me."

Once Cleo had calmed down Raphael made her a coffee and they both sat down and drank it.

"This is good coffee." Cleo took another sip.

"You'd better make it last, we have a big day ahead of us." Raphael replied.

Cleo looked at him. "What do you mean?" She sipped her coffee.

Raphael put his mug down on the table. "A friend, well….frenemy, told me that she found something while she was in Les Invalides."

"You mean the war museum where that casket was stolen?"

Raphael nodded. "It's a code or something like that. She can't crack it but she thinks I can."

Cleo finished her coffee and put the mug in the sink. "So when are we setting off?"

"Now."

"What?"

"We're setting off now. Are you ready?"

"Not really. I have to get my shoes and everything."

"Okay. I have to change too so don't worry about me waiting."

Once Cleo had polished up her knucklebusters and Raphael had changed into Phantom R they both set off towards Les Invalides. It was amazing how different Paris looked at day. In the night it was a glowing city with mystery around every corner, you felt like you were in a different world with everything lit up and The Eiffel Tower glittering. But at day it looked like a classic city riddled with old buildings and walkways. It felt like you were walking through history. Cleo had never been to Paris before, she had spent most of her time on the English coast. So obviously she was bewildered by all this.

"I'm guessing you've never been to Paris before." Phantom R smiled at Cleo.

Cleo shook her head. "No I haven't. Where I come from is not as old as Paris."

After a while they soon got to the war museum. There it was in it's glory, the garden in front of it only continued to make it look smart and pretty. The french flag was gracefully waving through the air, France was indeed a wonderful country. Phantom R was walking up to the museum, suddenly he stopped. Two constables were talking to his frenemy. Phantom R and Cleo crouched down and hid. After the constables went away Phantom R came out and strode confidently towards his frenemy. Cleo followed behind him. The blonde that was leaning against the museum walls suddenly had her eyes drawn onto Phantom R. She sighed and stood up straight.

"Long time no see, Charlie" Phantom R smirked.

"Same for you mate. Where have you been?" He looked at Cleo. "And who's this? An accomplice of yours?"

Phantom R stood out of the way of Cleo. "Cleo this is Charlotte, my frenemy."

Cleo raised an eyebrow. "Charlotte?"

"Yeah...she prefers to be called Charlie."

Charlie narrowed her eyes. "I only dress up like this for investigation purposes." She was referring to how she was dressed now. Her brown trenchcoat and her brown flat cap to match certainly seemed like something a detective would wear.

"Anyway, Charlie. Could you please show us this code you mentioned?" Phantom R asked.

Charlie beckoned them inside and once they were in she shut the door. She lead them over to a small door that was sealed by 7 locks. Charlie folded her arms and let Phantom R look at it.

"Is this it Charlie?" Phantom R touched one of the locks.

"Yep. This is exactly as I found it," Charlie lifted her cap a little bit, "Any ideas on what it is?"

Phantom R stood up and sighed. "Nope, I have no clue."

"Let me have a look at it." Cleo knelt down and looked closely at the locks. The locks said in order: 'Mammon, Belphagor, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Asmodeus' When Cleo touched the locks they changed colour. "...Oh!" She exclaimed.

"You got something?" Phantom R knelt down beside her.

Cleo smiled. "Yep! Mammon, Belphagor, Leviathan, Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Asmodeus. Yellow, Light blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Violet and Red!" She put the colours in as she said this. The small door opened and revealed a ladder leading down underground.

"How did you solve that?!" Phantom R stared at her in shock.

Cleo looked at him. "I researched The Seven Deadly Sins a lot. Those names written on the locks are the names of the seven princes of hell, you just had to put in the colour of their sins."

Phantom R nodded. "Quite a smart door lock to put in if you ask me."

"Ahem, does anyone notice a LADDER in front of us?" Charlie was getting impatient and wanted to climb down the ladder.

Phantom R gestured to Cleo. "Ladies first."

Cleo crawled into the door and started to climb down the ladder.

"You okay there Cleo?" Phantom R shouted.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine." Cleo had vertigo, and the steep hole that the ladder was in wasn't helping her one bit.

Charlie pushed past Phantom R and crawled through the door. "This is very small." She said as she climbed down the ladder.

Phantom R looked around for anyone watching them and then crawled through the door. "Hold on to me Fondue" He picked up Fondue and climbed down the ladder. Fondue winced and barked. "Hey don't be scared Fondue, we've dealt with something like this before haven't we?" Phantom R climbed down using one hand while leaning his back against the wall.

Soon enough Cleo got to the end and jumped down, her body was shaking all over. "I hope we never come down here again!" She said bitterly.

Charlie followed behind her. "We might have to if whatever Phantom R's looking for is here." She jumped down.

Phantom R came last. He jumped down and put Fondue on the ground. "That wasn't so bad was it Fondue?" Fondue winced and shook with fear. "Oh don't be such a baby." Phantom R folded his arms.

"I can't say that I blame him," Cleo smiled, "I have vertigo myself."

Phantom R raised an eyebrow. "You handled it pretty well for someone with vertigo."

Charlie had already gone ahead without them. "Hey! Phantom, Cleo! Come over here!" She called.

They both went over to Charlie's calls and found a large hall with a giant door at the end of it. Phantom R got out his coin and compared it to the door, his eyes widened and he ran up to it.

Cleo ran after him. "What is it?!" She said when she got to the door.

Phantom R got his coin out of his pocket and held it up to her. "This door has the same mark as on my coin." He showed her the symbol.

Cleo looked at the symbol on the coin and then at the one on the door. "It does! But why?"

Phantom R shook his head. "I don't know. But I think this door was placed by the same guys responsible for The Mystere Incident.."

Charlie looked at the door closely. "There seems to be some necklace shaped slots here."

Cleo took a look at them. "What do you think they mean?"

Phantom R noticed something stuffed into the side of the door. "Huh? What's this?" He pulled it out. It was a scrap of paper. It had something written on it, he started to read it.

Cleo peered at the paper scrap. The writing on it was scrawled but she was still able to read it.

'If you have found this note, well done!

But your adventure has only began.

Go around Europe to find,

Seven pendants that bring grief upon thine.

Where you should start is the land of myth,

you'll find the first necklace with a hop and a skip.

Find the land with 12 gods and goddesses upon it's peak,

and there you'll find the pendant you seek'

Phantom R scratched his head. "What does this mean? It's a riddle alright but what does it mean by 'Seven pendants that bring grief upon thine'?"

Cleo pondered for a moment. "I think it's referring to pendants that recreate The Seven Deadly Sins"

Phantom R looked at the slots on the door. "Okay if that's the pendants then what's this about 12 gods and goddesses upon a mountain?"

"I only know one place in Europe where they have 12 gods and goddesses." Cleo stroked her ponytail. "That would be Greece."

Of course! Why didn't he think of that?! Phantom R blushed with embarrassment, his father had made many greek sculptures and had told him many things about Greek Mythology.

Charlie folded her arms and chuckled. "Looks like this kid is smarter than you Phantom R."

Phantom R glared at her. "S-Shut up.."

Cleo took the note out of Phantom R's hands. "We'd better keep this. It might come in handy." She folded the paper and put it into her pocket.

They went back up the ladder and up to the museum. Phantom R closed the door and sighed. "Well Charlie, thanks for calling me first instead of getting the constables involved."

Charlie blushed a little bit. "N-No problem mate. I was only doing what I thought was right."

Phantom R held Charlie's cheek. "Are you blushing?" He said while smiling.

Charlie angrily whacked his hand away. "Do you want me to arrest you?!"

"Alright alright I get it." Phantom R took a step back from Charlie.

"Well it was nice meeting you Charlie." Cleo said.

"You too." Charlie replied. "Now if you'll excuse me I've got a football tournament to get to." Charlie straightened her coat and then walked out of the museum. Cleo and Phantom R both went out too, there was nothing else to do.

"So…..our first destination is Greece. Now where to get tickets and passports?" Cleo pondered.

Phantom R obviously had an idea of where to get such things. "I've got an idea."

Cleo looked up at him. "You have?"

Phantom R put one hand on his hip. "I've got a friend that lives in FDR Avenue. He's got real brains I can tell ya that. He might have an idea of where we can get cheap tickets."

"Is he around there now?"

"Should be. He's always up early doing his homework and studying."

"We should go there now!"

"With me dressed like this?"

"Oh right sorry…."

"I'll change and then we'll go visit him okay?"

"Sounds like an idea!"

They both began to walk off when suddenly a voice that Phantom R knew called his name from behind.

"Phantom R!"

He stopped. Confused and surprised. Was that who he thought it was? He turned around and his eyes widened.

"A-Alfred?!"

There, panting with exhaustion, was the old bodyguard butler Alfred. He looked the same as he did all those months ago when him and Phantom R had a one on one fight. Alfred collapsed on the floor.

"Are you okay?!" Phantom R knelt down at his side.

Cleo was unsure what to do. She didn't know this man. "Phantom R, who is this?"

"This is Alfred. He's my old friend's butler." Phantom R took his hand. "Alfred, what's wrong? Why did you exhaust yourself to see me?"

Alfred couldn't get the words out his mouth properly. "T….he….prin….c...ess…...i..s…...s….si..ck.."

"The princess?" The realization suddenly dawned on Phantom R and it made his heart stop. "Marie?! What's wrong with Marie?!"

Phantom R helped Alfred up. "P-Please…..just follow me…" Alfred led them towards Elizabeth's Manse.

Cleo was awfully confused. Who was Marie? Where was this man taking them? Who was this princess they were talking about? Everything seemed like a confusing mess.

They arrived inside the manse and were standing outside a door. Alfred gently knocked on the door, he opened it and popped his head through it. "He's here mademoiselle" Alfred ushered them in and closed the door behind him.

Phantom R stared in shock at the girl in the bed, she smiled and said softly. "...Hello Raphael…"
