Author's Note: If you don't know what the Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) looks like, you might want to look up a picture of it before reading this chapter. It is a very beautiful mosquito, in my opinion. ;)

Also, thank you marnika for the review. It is very helpful to get feedback.

After talking with Yuuri, Murata had come to the conclusion that it would be best to have a meeting with Gwendel and the others as soon as possible to inform them of what had happened. Murata then went searching for proof, while Yuuri gathered everyone together to start a meeting. His endeavor finally had paid off, but it had taken longer than he expected. He looked at the tiny, dark colored insect flying around inside an old fruit preserve jar that he had convinced the maids to lend him. He frowned. Mosquitoes were definitely not his favorite insect. It was important not to underestimate them though. That had been the undoing of his shortest lived re-incarnation on earth. He looked closer. The mosquito was mostly black with a thin white stripe on the thorax, and its legs were black with white bands. Murata wasn't an expert in mosquito identification, but he knew what a few of the more common species looked like. This one was most likely Aedes albopictus, the Asian Tiger Mosquito.

When Murata walked into Gwendel's office, he saw that Yuuri had already started the meeting. Gwendel, Anissina, Gunter, Wolfram, and Conrart were all seated at a table, listening to their king. He appeared to be finishing up a summary of Murata's findings. It was hard to say how much they understood. Gwendel and Conrart looked confused. Anissina had a slightly glazed over look to her eyes. He wasn't sure if Gunter was paying attention or just staring at Yuuri. Wolfram looked annoyed.

"Maybe it would be better with a visual aid?" Murata asked as he took out the jar and placed it on the table.

Everyone crowded around to look.

"This is the creature that traveled from your world?" Gwendel asked uncertainly.

"Uh, yeah…" Yuuri said, looking embarrassed.

"I remember that from when I was on earth." Conrart said "They itch a lot after they bite." He frowned slightly, as if from a bad memory.

Yuuri looked even more embarrassed.

Gunter stared at the jar for a few moments, "Amazing." he breathed "Even the smallest creatures from his majesty's world are blessed with a black, noble coloring." Then he picked up the jar and held it with reverence, "Oh majesty, how kind of you to bring such a noble creature from earth for us. It is so beautiful, so graceful, just like his majesty…"

"Let me see that!" Wolfram shouted and snatched the jar from Gunter. He shook it and watched the insect inside. "Hmmph! It looks kind of WIMPY to me."

"Wolfram! Try not to injure our only specimen." Anissina commanded as she took the jar from him. She looked at the mosquito. Her expression started to change. Her blue eyes sparkled. A connection was being made. She was after all, a scientist and an inventor. To her the mosquito represented not only a problem, but the unknown, a challenge.

Yuuri noticed the look in Anissina's eyes "Do you think you can invent something that will get rid of them?" He asked hopefully.

"Of course I can." She exclaimed

Gwendel turned a few shades paler and started moving away.

Anissina looked at the mosquito with a more determined look in her eyes. "It needs to be studied first. I will of course need more specimens."

"I'll see what I can do." Said Murata.

Gunter had been moping about until that point. "You can't mean you are going to kill the beautiful creatures that are such a generous gift from his majesty?" he asked in a shocked voice.

"How hard can it be to kill something that wimpy?" Wolfram cut in before Anissina could answer. "I bet I can do it. Anissina, give me the jar!"

Unable to hold himself back any longer, Gunter snatched the jar from Anissina and ran off wailing "Don't worry majesty, I will protect your noble creature."

Anissina and Wolfram chased Gunter out of the room. Shouts of Oh majesty!, Gunter you wimp! and It's mine! could be heard from the hallway.

Gwendel grumbled , "Well then it's settled. Your Highness and your Excellency will work with Lady von Karbelnikoff to get rid of the creature from your world. If you will excuse me, your majesty, I have paperwork to catch up on." Gwendel left rather quickly, going away from the direction that Anissina had taken.

"Thanks for your help Murata. I think they understood what happened better when they saw the mosquito." He paused "At least Anisinna did." Yuuri turned around about to leave, then thought of something, "Do you need any help catching mosquitoes for Anissina?"

"I think I can manage."

"Okay. Hey Conrad!" Yuuri yelled before the brown-haired soldier could discretely slip out of the room. "Do you want to play some baseball?"

"Of course, your majesty."

"It's Yuuri!"

"Of course, Yuu-ri."

When he was alone in the room, Murata smiled. Things were actually going much better than he had hoped.

Murata's fun fun mosquito facts

There are over 3,000 species of mosquitoes worldwide. Some of them will take blood meals from just about anything, some have very specific hosts, and a few don't take blood meals at all!

Culex territans only takes blood meals from frogs.

Mosquitoes in the genus Toxorynchites do not take blood meals. In fact, they are beneficial since their larvae are predators of other species of mosquitoes.
