Catch me if you can
~…Baby Love…~
Lucian: "Hello again! So, if you remember what idiot Ace said in the last chapter about answering your questions, we will do just that. I and the others will do our best to answer your questions. I will post the answers in every two or three chapters, depending on how many there are."
Ace: "This is amazing! You can ask any questions you want! I will answer in the best of my ability just for you reader-chan!"
Blood: "I think it's about time for me to leave." *gets up on his feet*
Lucian: *looks at Blood* "Won't you stay a little longer?"
Blood: *looks back at Lucian* "….I'm afraid not. I don't want to get involved in protecting you from Joker when he gets here." *smirks*
Lucian: "How'd you know?!"
Ace: "I told him!" *smiles*
Boris: "I would love to stay but I need to work."
Blood: "You don't even have to worry. The knight is here with you."
Ace: "Yep! I'm here to protect you Lucian! Ahahaha!"
Lucian: I'm gonna die.
Voice: "TOO LATE!"
*BAM*
*Black and White appears*
Lucian: "AHHHH! IT'S BLACK!" *hides behind Ace*
Blood: *walks off to the side*
Black: *walks inside the room* "You little brat." *glares at Lucian* "I found ya." *smiles evilly*
Female White: "Black, calm down. She has a reason why she lied to us."
Lucian: "AHHHAAAA! I didn't mean to lie!" *tightens grip on Ace*
Boris: "….White is a girl." *blushes*
Ace: "Whoa there!" *grins* "I guess it's time for me to work."
Black: *looks at Ace* "I'm gonna hurt for you kidnapping my little girl." *whip appears in his hand*
Blood: "So reader-chan has turned you soft." *crosses arms* "Interesting."
Elliot: *looks at Blood from the side* "Um, boss aren't you going to help them?"
Blood: "I'll watch." *smiles a little*
Lucian: "You're so mean, Blood!"
Black: "Enough talking! Both of you are so dead!" *lunches towards Ace*
Ace: *smirks* "Heh." *pulls out his sword* "True, enough talking."
Lucian: "AHHHH!"
Boris: *turns to Gowland resting on the bed* "Old man, don't just lay there!"
Gowland: "Uh…my back hurts."
Boris: "You're no help at all, old man!" *runs to Lucian and picks her up* "Don't worry, I got ya!"
Lucian: "Wahh!"
Black: "Stop fucking moving so I can hit you!"
Ace: *continues to dodge Black's attacks* "Ahaha! If I do that I'll die!"
Blood: *looks at Gowland* "Wow Mary, you sure are a big help protecting this room." *smirks*
Gowland: "….." *slowly gets up* "It looks like somebody wants to die today!" *rifle appears*
Blood: "Heh, I can kill some time." *staff turns into a machine gun*
*Boom**Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta*
*Shink**Cling clang*
*CRASH*
Lucian: "Ahhh! My room is being destroyed by these idiooots!"
Boris: "Don't worry! Blood will repair your room later!" *goes under the bed*
Gowland: "Why don't you just die!"
Blood: "I'm too young to die, Mary." *dodges Gowland*
Gowland: "THAT'S IT!"
Black: "You're pissing me off, you bastard!" *whip turns into a gun*
Ace: "This is fun!" *swings swords towards Black* "I might really kill you." *smiles*
Black: "Shut up!"
Elliot, Dee and Dum: *under the bed as well*
Elliot: *sighs* "Sorry about this Lucian."
Dee: "This is so cool! Alright Boss!"
Dum: "Yeah! I wish we have some popcorn! Go Boss!"
Lucian: *looks at Dee and Dum* "This is not the time to root for your boss!"
Boris: "Let's just stay here until they stop."
Female White: *suddenly appears beside Boris* "I will help repair your room later, Lucian."
Lucian: "Could you do something about Black?! He's doesn't even care what he's hitting!"
Female White: "Sorry. When he's like that it's hard for me to stop him."
*BOOM*
Lucian: "!" *looks ahead to see her mangas shreds into pieces and flying in the air* "MY MANGAAAAAAS! NOOOOOO!"
Dee: "Ooh, that's bad."
Dum: "Yeah."
Elliot: *facepalm*
Boris: "D-don't cry, Lucian!"
Dee: *turns to Dum* "Brother let's do it."
Dum: *nods head* "Okay, brother."
Dee and Dum: *looks at the reader* "Everything is completely fine."
Dum: "Yep! So please enjoy this chapter and pretend that this never happened." *smiles*
Dee: "Well, the fighting and the destroying of the room are still happening but there's nothing for you to worry about~ Lucian is fine." *looks at Lucian trying to run to her shelves of destroyed mangas*
Lucian: "LET ME GOOOO!"
Boris: "You're gonna get yourself killed!" *tries to pull Lucian back under the bed*
Dee: "See, nothing to worry about." *smiles* "We'll see you at the end of this chapter! Now, bye!"
Elliot: "I'm having a big headache right now. Ugh….my head hurts from all these stupidity." *rubbing his temple*
~…Baby Love…~
"You know little _, you're really adorable for a baby." Ace giggled and raised you up in the air as he walks around the forest, being lost with you. "Usually, I won't even give a thing for a baby."
"…" Your (e/c) eyes twinkled and you slowly grabbed a handful of Ace's hair, "Daa."
Ace raised an eyebrow up, watching you tug his hair, "Ahahaha, you seem to enjoy tugging my hair, _." He smiled and lowered you back down but that was a bad idea for him to do, "Oww!" You didn't let his hair go, resulting in you pulling out some of his awesome hair.
"Ahahaha!" You started laughing and kicking your little feet in the air, "Dada!" You reached out for his hair again, wanting to pull out some more. You wanted to see him scream again, it gave you joy (little sadist). However before you could get your hand on his hair, he grabbed your hand.
"You can't do that, _. You're gonna hurt my feelings." Ace softly said, and in truth, it didn't hurt him that much. He did enjoyed seeing you smile and having fun even if that fun is you making him go bold. But he doesn't want to go bold at the end of the day, so pulling hair is a no, no. "I wonder if Mr. Joker's badness has rubbed on you. I hope you don't turn into a sadist like him when you grow up."
You tilted your head to the side, "Ai?"
"Anyway!" Ace grinned, his crimson eyes glinted full of mischievous. "I can't let you pull my hair anymore but I can teach you something that you might enjoy and even thank me in the future!"
"Hm?" You blinked, curious of what Ace was talking about. Now what does this idiot have for you?
"Hm-hm-hm~ that's right, I'll pretend that you can understand me," Ace looked around his surroundings and his face lit up, the perfect spot to place you down. "Let's go over there!
He walked over to a tree and placed you down on the ground, "Now, little _, you're gonna love what I'm about to teach you." He squatted down on the ground and at that moment a small silver dagger with small hearts engraved on the side of the blade, about the size of his hand appeared right in front of your face. "I'll be teaching you how to play with this really cool toy." He grinned as he spins the dagger in between his fingers. You're lucky enough that he hasn't dropped it on you yet. "All you need to do is swing this around and not stab yourself, okay?"
You weren't listening to Ace, your eyes were locked at the dagger, and you're like a little cat, following wherever the dagger moves. This "new toy" is something that you haven't seen before and it's so shiny too. The toy is really cool and sharp/deadly that can and will probably kill you but you don't know that.
~…Baby Love…~
*Clap**Clap**Clap*
"You're doing great!" Ace happily shouted, and clapping his hands together. "You're holding it perfectly, little _!" Watching you hold the handle with both hand isn't really perfect but he was so proud of you that you even managed to hold the dagger by yourself. He's an awesome teacher. Oh, and since he didn't want to see you bleed to death while holding the dagger he covered the blade before giving the dagger so you don't start accidentally cutting yourself. He doesn't want to die by the hands of Black if he were to see you all cut up.
"Maybe I should be a teacher and teach little kids how to hold swords!" Ace said to himself, "That way they'll die faster and I can collect more clocks for Julius!"
*Thonk**Thonk*
"Huh?" Ace looked back at you to see you hitting the tree behind with the dagger. He laughed seeing how you try to hit the tree without giving any damage to it. "Well, hitting the tree using the bottom of the dagger isn't going to work, _." He crawled over to you, "You need to use the top." He grabbed the dagger and pulled cover up, "You need to use it like this." He swings the dagger in front of you, getting your attention fast. "Watch, kay?" He smiled lovingly at you.
*SWOOSH*
In a blink of an eye the dagger flew to the side, up to a tree and a loud cry was heard. "Guh!" A faceless man hiding on top of the tree fell to the ground, hitting his face first; the dagger was stuck on his now bleeding right shoulder.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Ace shakes his side to side as he picked you up in his arms. "Spying on me now are you?" His cheerful face changed into a cold one as he walked over to the faceless man. "I knew you were following me since I left the circus." He looked down on the soon to die man and kicked him softly on the side. "You could have taken the chance to run away while I was playing with little _." His eyes narrowed as he pulled his sword out from the scabbard. "Now you're gonna have to play with me." He raised his sword up in the air before pulling your head down under his neck, blocking your vision. He didn't want you to see what he was about to do. It might traumatize you. "While I'm playing with this man I'll be singing you the alphabet song, _. You do need to learn your ABC's at your age by now." He said in a kind and soft voice but his eyes never changed, they were still staring directly down at the man.
"Let's start singing, shall we." Ace whispered. " A-B-C...ha, I'm gonna skip, G~" he swings his sword straight down on the man's chest, slicing him all the way to his legs.
"Gahhh!" The man screamed as he tried to crawl away but Ace was slowly walking towards him, swinging his swords sides to sides, splattering the blood to the ground.
" H-I-J all the way to P~" Ace's eyes grew like a madman as he thrust his sword right on the faceless man's back all the way to the ground, " Q-R-S toooo V~!"
"AHAA!" The man coughed up his own blood as more blood started to cover the ground. "P-p-please….s-top…"
The smile on Ace's face grew as he pulled his sword out of the ground, "W X Y and Z~ Mister, you're history~" He cooed before stabbing the man on the forehead. "Hmm~"
*CRACK*
The sound of the bone crashing was the only thing you heard but you don't know where it was coming from. You slowly tried to lift your head back up but Ace pulled your head back down. "Did you enjoy the song little _? I sure did!" The voice of Ace rang to your ears, and you soon forgot the sound you were trying to search for. "I can sing it to you again if you want?" You responded by nodding your head. "That's great because I might have to repeat this song for several times. Now if you understand me, please close your eyes." And you did what he said since you understand him. "I'll end this fast as I can." Ace chuckled, loving how other faceless people came out of the trees and bushes holding guns, surrounding him and you. "I'm really gonna enjoy singing this time." He raised his sword up to his face and licked the blood once, making the faceless people flinch.

Hatter's Mansion
Blood and the others were all outside the mansion staring at Black and White. While they were searching for you they ended up in Blood's territory. Elliot wasn't happy at all to see the two of them; he was ready to shoot one of them, especially at White. White being a woman pisses Elliot even more. If Blood wasn't there he would start killing them.
"Again? Care to explain why you two are in my territory?" Blood asked his arms crossed over his chest. He doesn't care why they were here. Seeing that you weren't with Black and White basically tells everything. I already know what happened from the looks on their face. He looked at them boredly, his emerald eyes showing no emotions.
"Damn you." Black whispered as he glared at Blood.
"I apologize for coming to your territory, Hatter." White said. "We are looking for _ and we somehow ended up here."
"You're looking for _?" Blood slightly raised his eyebrows; this seems to catch his interest. "Go on?"
"She was playing not too far from me and Black but when we took our eyes away from her for only a few minutes she disappeared." White explained the whole thing except when she wrestled with Black. "We couldn't find her in the forest."
"I see." Blood's lips curled into a small smile. "Since the child has taken my interest, I will offer my service to you both."
"I'm just asking if you've seen her not helping me or the clown." Black coldly said. "I don't need your help."
Blood hummed and moved his cold emerald orbs towards Black, "Hm, but I know something that you don't and it might help you with your search for _."
"What?"
"It's quite simple actually when you think about it." Blood rolled his eyes, "The baby did not just simply crawled away. Someone must've taken her when you two were being lovey-dovey with each other."
"You really wanna die, don't ya?" Black hissed and his whip appeared in his hand.
"Black, stop it." White said and he grabbed the whip from Black, "We don't have time to fight with them. We need to find _ as soon as possible."
"Don't touch me!" Black embarrassingly shouted, "Freakin turn back to a man!"
"I already offered my service to help you." Blood smirked, already knowing where this is going. He had everything planned out the moment Black and White stepped into his territory. "And I' am still willing to help."
"What the hell do you want?" Black asked.
"_. The Hatter Family will be the one to take care of her next."
"….fine." Black bit his lower lip. Oh how he hated to say that one word to Blood. "We'll give _ to you once I'm done taking care of her."
"So who took _?" White asked.
"The Knave of Hearts," Blood replied and the smile on his face grew, "He is the only one who always visits your territory. I know this for a fact since he asked me once where your territory was the last time he got lost here."
"Godammit!" Black shouted and stomped his foot on the ground, "How the fuck did I forget about that idiot?!"
"Even I did too." White sighed. "Ace never came across my mind."
"If I'm correct, he's probably still stuck in the forest," Blood said, "Or in a few seconds he'll be appearing here."
*rustle**rustle*
"Heh, speak of the devil and he shall appear." Blood turned his head to the side and at that moment Ace walked out of the trees, carrying you, both of you covered in blood. "Hm, what in the world did he do?"
"!" Black's mouth fell, his eye widens in shock at your appearance. "_!"
"Ahh…" Unable to see you covered in blood White fainted, but before she could hit the ground Black caught her.
"Oi! Don't faint! Wake up!" Black shouted as he shakes White roughly. "DON'T FUCKING FAINT ON ME!"
Blood and the others were just staring at Black and White. What a cute couple those two make. Blood thought and he quickly bit his lips, trying his best not to laugh.
"Hi guys!" Ace shouted and waved at them but did not step towards them. "Don't worry! _, and I were just playing in the forest with some of my friends!"
"Dada!" You waved out your little hand.
Black shot his eye towards Ace and he shoved White to the side, "Ace, you bastard! What the hell did you do?!"
Ace smiled and started jumping up and down, "Nothing~!"
"DON'T LIE TO ME!"
"I was just playing with _." Ace replied and tilted his head to the side like an innocent little boy. "And I even thought her how to say my name while we were in the forest!"
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! GIVE HER BACK TO ME, NOW!"
Ace ignored Black and his shouting and looked at you, "_, say my name?"
"Hn?" You looked at Ace and blinked, "A-Ahhh."
"Go on, you can do it!" Ace said and gave you a thumb-s up. "Say Ace. Ace."
"A-A…..Ass!" You happily shouted, feeling happy that you were able to say Ass and not Ace. Everyone stopped and even Black and they all looked at you. "Ass!"
"Pfft!" Elliot quickly covered his mouth, unable to contain his laughter, "Oh my god! Bwahahaha!"
Blood on the other hand was covering his face with his large black hat, laughing quietly.
"You thought her how to say a bad word?!" Black glared at Ace who was still staring at you with a dumbfounded expression. "I'm gonna kill you!"
Ace sighed before smiling at you and pinching your cheek, "Oh well, you're still learning. It's not Ass, it's Ace. I still need to teach you more of your alphabet." He laughed ignoring the threatening atmosphere emitting from Black. "But you're close. You did well," He then finally moved his eyes to Black. "Now then, let's play a game, Mr. Joker!"
"Hell no!"
"Let's play a simple game of tag! You're it and you need to catch me and _." Ace snapped his fingers and a red baby carrier appeared around his upper body. He placed you inside and tightened the strap. "If you win I'll give _ back to you. If you lose I'll keep her forever!"
"Damn you!"
"We'll play this game of tag until you catch me or until I get bored." Ace smirked as he turned his body around, ready to sprint off. "Catch me if you can, Mr. Joker!" He winked once before sprinting down the road, leaving dust to dance in the air.
"GET BACK HEEEERE!" Black sprinted off, leaving White and the others behind. "GIVE _ BACK!"
Dee watched the two disappear before turning his head towards White, "Um…Boss, what do you want to do with the other Joker?" He asked and poked White by the shoulder with the bottom of his axe. "Do you want us to just leave her here?"
"I didn't know that Joker can turn into a girl." Dum said in amazement. "I wish I can turn into one."
"I don't mind leaving him here." Blood sighed, "But-"
"Oh, look Joker is running back here." Elliot said cutting Blood off. They all looked towards the direction where Black was running. "He's really fast at running." They watch Black run over to White.
"God, I almost forgot about you!" Black said and he lifts her up and throws her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, "You're such a pain in the ass sometimes! When we get back to our territory I'm gonna force you to turn back to your real body!" He said to no one as he sprinted off down the road, again.
"….I'd never seen Joker act like that." Elliot mumbled as the figure of Black and White got smaller and smaller from his sight. "It's so weird."
"Yeah, I know right." Dee nodded his head.
"So interesting," Dum smiled and placed his axe over his shoulder.
"Hm, let's go back inside. I want to have a little tea party at the backyard." Blood turned his body towards the gate and started walking with the others following behind. This really has gotten more interesting. Oh, right, I need to start decorating one of the guest rooms for _.
~…Baby Love…~
Boris: "They still haven't finish fighting with each other!"
Dum: "What are we gonna do?!"
Dee: "Lucian is already dead! It's time for us to panic!"
*CRASH*
Gowland: "Don't run away from me, BLOOD!"
Blood: "I'm not. I'm just simply dodging you."
Boris: "No she's not!" *quickly turns to the reader* "Don't worry, Lucian is NOT dead! She's just sleeping!"
Lucian: "Zzz…zzz…."
Boris: "She just cried herself to sleep!"
Elliot: "Ughhh….I wanna go home."
Black: "Fucking bastard!"
Ace: "Wheeee~!" *spins around* "Miss me!" *pulls out another sword*
White: "I'm tired too. I guess I'll take a little nap." *yawns* "Wake me up later." *closes eye*
Boris: "You won't be waking up if you get shot by them!"
Dee: "I know we said to reader-chan to pretend that this never happened but I don't think that's possible!"
Dum: "This room has turned into a war zone!"
Elliot: *curled up in the corner under the bed* "Head….hurts….so bad…"
