Csoh: Muah ha ha!
Solomon: Oh no.
Csoh: Yeah! I'm continuing the story and I think we need some action!
Hagi: (looks at story so far) No, it's fine.
Solomon: I agree it's getting dull.
Csoh:I never said it was dull.
Solomon:Don't feel bad we just need to make some revisions. (writes a next chapter)
Csoh: "And Saya fell into Solomon's arm and begged him to"- Solomon I can't upload this!
Solomon: Of course you can! Here I'll help you.
Hagi: (hands Csoh his version of next chapter) Just upload this instead.
Csoh:(sighs)Why do I get the feeling this is going to be ridiculous as well.

Chapter 7: Code Red
Saya sat in the Omoro pub listening to Nathan.
"-See this would be great! I could have you and Hagi play cello for the orchestra that performs with my operas." Hagi had taken the liberty of leaving the room an hour ago to change one of the twin's diaper.
"Why would I play in an opera house when I haven't played cello in almost a century and I can't stand opera." Nathan sighed.
"BECAUSE! You don't want to stay here!"
"And you were told this by..." The blond chevalier wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Why would you. It's a pub. Sure it might be fun for a couple decades. But the opera house! She will never get old! I'm sure Hagi can help you remember how to play cello." Saya rolled her eyes. Nathan was ridiculous, Kai headed down to where she and Nathan were talking.
"Alright! You've been here all day. Time to leave." Kai pushed the guy out the door and started to wash the dishes.
"Thanks." Kai nodded.
"I don't see why the chevalier have to bother you all the time." Kai grinned as he thought of something. "Oh. You might want to help Hagi. The twins decided to throw their leavings at him as he changed them and he's been trying uselessly to get them under control." She shot up from her seat.
"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SOONER?!" Kai shrugged.
"It was funny." Saya rushed up the stairs.

The scene would have made any parenting expert cringe. Hagi had managed to get the twins apart and diapers on, but his shirt had apparently been collateral. Veronique was trying desperately to keep a hold of him as Irene tried to hit her red-eyed twin. Hagi looked over. The usually unemotional chevalier looking pleadingly at her.
Saya pulled Irene into her crib before pulling a very upset Veronique away from Hagi. Veronique cried hysterically as Saya placed her in her crib. Hagi slumped into a chair and sighed.
"Thanks." Saya tried to quieten Veronique. She kept wailing until Hagi looked at her. The toddler then laughed and lay down to sleep.
"Goodness." Saya pulled Hagi out of the room. "I think I need to keep you away from them for a while...Or at least Veronique." Hagi went to hug her but Saya pulled back, plugging her nose at the smell. "I think you might want to change." Hagi headed towards her room to grab a new shirt and Saya headed back down the stairs.
"You free Hagi from the twins?" Kai was still smirking about it.
"You weren't going to."
"You should have seen it. The look on his face when the twins started to pull on him." Kai grinned even wider. "Priceless." Saya rolled her eyes and headed towards the door.
"I'm going to get the mail." Kai nodded and Saya headed to the post office down the road. She walked in and started to open the box when a figure leaned next to her.
"Saya." Solomon was out of his normal suit and tie ensemble and in some regular clothing.
"Hey." Saya pulled out the mail and closed the mail box, locking it and heading towards the door. Solomon followed.
"I need to apologize. My behavior the other morning was unacceptable." Saya opened the door and went outside. He continued to follow.
"Well we won't have to worry about it. Now if you'll excuse me." Saya picked up her pace, leaving the chevalier standing by the street. She didn't stop until she made it back to Omoro. She ran inside and slammed the door behind her.
"Saya. Is something wrong?" Hagi jumped up and hugged her close.
"Um... No nothing really." She returned the gesture and told him about Solomon.
"Do you want me to talk to him?" Saya shook her head.
"I think we just need to ignore him until he leaves us alone." Hagi nodded and the afternoon went off peacefully until after they put the twins to bed.

The phone started to ring off the hook as Hagi and Saya came down the stairs. Kai answered and after several seconds of conversation he hung up and pulled out Saya's old sword.
"There's a bunch of chiropteran hanging around the outskirts of town. David's already there." Saya nodded and ran out with Hagi a step behind. Lewis drove them quickly and they ran out to what seemed like an army of them. Their roars echoing into the night.
David and Lewis tried to help with the fight. Hagi covered Saya's back until another group went after the two guys. One got a hold on Hagi and set in smashing into one of the buildings. David and Lewis knocked out against the cars. The chiropteran turned on Saya almost immediately.
Saya was surrounded. The monsters coming from all sides. She turned to attack and the world swirled out of focus. One had attacked from her left. The world fell into darkness as she fell unconscious.
Solomon rushed down after Hagi went down. Saya was going to be left to fight on her own. He saw her go down and took the rest of them out (using Saya's sword of course). After the last few ran, he hurried over to his queen. Saya was unconscious and was covered in blood. Her clothes were torn. Again. He walked over to Hagi. The guy had a tree stuck through his middle. He wasn't getting up any time soon.
Strolling peacefully back to Saya, he picked her up and flew her to his newest residence. He started to set her down on his bed when he reminded himself that she was still dripping with blood. He instead carried her into his bathroom and cleaned her up.
After her bath he threw out her old clothes and grabbed one of the nightgowns he had bought for her. Just as he thought she looked stunning in it. He laid her under the covers of his bad and went to work cleaning up the newly made mess that was his bathroom.
___)(___
Hagi awaken to Kai yelling at him. He found that he had been attacked by the chiropteran with a tree. The said tree being stuck in his gut. Hagi slowly and very painfully removed himself off the stump of the tree and Kai punched him. Hagi fought to keep his composure.
"Where the hell is Saya!" Hagi looked around frantically. Sure enough his queen was missing. Kai continued to yell until Lewis locked him in the back of his car. David pulled out his phone to start calling others.
"Julia says she hasn't heard from Saya."
"We have to find her." David looked up at him.
"It's pointless when we don't even know where she is." Hagi almost cursed at the situation. He should have made the two defend themselves.
"She could be unconscious in the forest somewhere." David pulled out a map of the area. Hagi didn't stay to hear the briefing. There wasn't any time to lose. Her needed to find Saya and he needed to find her now!

Hagi: I don't remember this part.
Solomon: I didn't write this.
Csoh: Well... I liked this element of your story Hagi. And I agree that we needed some Solomon strikes back to the story. (laughs maniacally at her chapter) I WIN!
Saya: (reading chapter) I don't think I like where this is going...
