Death: Tell your friends about us. So then we will update sooner!!!

Shadow: You would like that wouldn't you.

Death: Anyway here is Chapter 8!!!

Shadow: I had to change a few names around. Sorry about that

.:'Chapter 8':.

Hamtaro wakes up with a aching head, and cautiously looks around.

He looks over to Howdy's lifeless body and silently sniffles.

He grabs a stick and carefully digs a hole for Howdy's resting place, and scampers away back to his home.

=His house=

Laura sits on her bed doing homework after hearing Travis will be ok.

'Hmmm, I wonder where Hamtaro is. Oh well he should be back soon.'

Hamtaro cautiously enters the room and jumps on Laura's bed.

"Krmph Krmph" (A/n: Or however you say it -.-')

"Awwww, Hamtaro you are finally home. How has your day been."

Laura reaches down to drink a glass of water not noticing two pills at the bottom.

"Hamtaro... My day has been sooo..." Laura falls down seemingly sleeping.

A shadow in the room chuckles at his handy work, and quietly slips out leaving a frantic hamster.

'Hamtaro, soon I will get you!'

=Bijou's House=

Bijou stares at the dark storm clouds and shivers.

'Stormy nights always scare me'

She hears a noise behind her, but dismisses it when she sees nothing.

She turns around to look back out of the window, until she stares in the face of evil.

"Bijou, my dear. How are you this fine night?"

"Wh.... Who are you?"

"You will find out over time my love."

The shadow things jumps on Bijou and captures his lips in his own.

"Bijou something to remember me by."

'He looked familiar.... But it couldn't be him... or could it.'

=The Next Day At The Club House=

Everyone lazily mopes around, keeping a look out for the traitor Hamtaro.

'If he ever shows his face around here...'

"You guys!!"

'Speak of the devil.'

"Howdy.... Is dead..."

"Yeah we kinda got that idea when he didn't come back after looking for you!" yells Oxnard.

"You freaking killed my friend Sandy!"

"No I didn't! I swear, I didn't"

"You know he sounds like he is telling the truth," Cappy says timidly.

"Don't fall for that. He is playing mind games."

Hamtaro takes one last look at Stan and runs out.

"See the traitor runs again."

A shadowy figure finds it's way into the room.

"Oxnard, Oxnard, Oxnard, I thought you were smarter that that!"

Oxnard takes one look at the figure and falls over dead.

'Sissy, all talk but no walk.'

"Cappy, Cappy, Cappy. You just made one mistake."

"And what was that?"

"Never say the suspect is innocent, because if you say that and he is... Then the real killer will just come after you."

He lunges forward toward Cappy, and slits his throat.

The shadowy figure straightens his cloak and when he hears yelling and the Ham Ham Police he runs out before anyone sees him.

He is a shadowy figure ain't he.
