Chapter 9- Revenge:

Kyoya:

I knew that Daniel was hiding something- he had to be. Otherwise, why would everything I try, fail? Who would block everything? Gear…I supposed that Gywn would make sense. She was rather intelligent, though admittedly sometimes childish. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if she said that she was responsible for Vladimir's…rather embarrassing speech that happened yesterday.

Still, Gear could have faked Daniel and Jasmine's files. It would make sense as to why further digging led nowhere and why their records were so fresh and clean. Though that only made me more suspicious, why would they have to fake files and names? Who were they hiding from? What secrets were they hiding?

I thought it over. Even if I can find something out- it wouldn't work. Gywn is very intelligent and I admire her for that, and shamefully- she is better than me when it comes to hacking. The mere thought that someone was better than me did make my blood boil ever so slightly. Perhaps I could resort to other means. I could hire her services, trick her, and find out more about Daniel and Vladimir…Vladimir was also a man I wanted to know everything about.

It was obvious that both Daniel and Gywn hated that man and he hated Daniel. Though he had an odd fixation on Gywn. To say that the odd fixation on Gywn was unsettling was to say the least. Not only that, but Vladimir was…an interesting man. He was one of the most wealthiest men on the planet- yet Gywn and Daniel didn't seem threatened by that. Though they did seemed concerned about something else. What that something else was, I had to find out.

"No," Gywn said without looking up from the trinket on her arm. She was fiddling with it.

"And why not," I pushed up my glasses, "I would pay you handsomely-"
"-Look, two things," she looked at me, "one, I almost consider you a friend. So you wouldn't have to pay me."

"Well then what you like in return?"
"Nothing- that's sort of what friends do," she rolled her eyes but I was a bit baffled. What I was asking wouldn't be an easy task. Yet, she wouldn't want any form of payment or even a favor in return.
"And the second thing," she continued, "is that you're asking me to hack Vlad."
"Ah, I do suppose it might be a challenge for your abilities."
Perhaps that will get her on. She glared at me slightly,
"Don't insult me. I took it once- I won't again. Vlad is easy to hack…even if he doesn't know that I do it," she shrugged, and then turned serious.
She gave me a look- and honestly, I was intimidated ever so slightly. I wasn't aware that she could be so serious.

"But Vlad has many secrets," she said coldly, "many dark secrets that…you are better off not knowing."

I raised an eyebrow and she growled,

"Vlad is a monster. I would love to see him locked him- no, more than that…but he's too powerful."

Something in my gut told me that when she said powerful, she was not speaking about money. She wore so much hate on her face that I should have known better than to continue pushing. Yet, I still did.

"And why do you say that?"

Gywn narrowed her eyes,

"Look, you're better off not knowing about Vlad. Trust me."

With that, our conversation ended as the twins came up.
"Oh, what are you two talking about-"
Gywn's face turned faintly pink and the twins smirked.

"-Oh she's blushing-"
"-Could it be that she likes the Shadow King-"

Gywn's eye twitched in annoyance. She looked at the twins glaring,
"You two better watch it before I decide to post the video."
"What video," they gulped.

"You know which one."
Whether that was a bluff or not- it was convincing and she got the twins to shut up. Still, I couldn't help but wonder. She was intriguing, smart, and beautiful. If she wasn't too childish…she did peak my interest though.

Gear:
I looked over to Danny. You know what? I think it's about time I told Sam. I texted her and then waited. Danny was talking to Haruhi- little does he know that he's about to get ripped to shreds…If the plan backfired, and instead she went to Kyoya- that was alright too since he was the one that sold that video of me. So it's a win-win situation.
"Cake?"

I looked to see Takashi handed me a piece of cake.
"Oh! Thank you, Takashi," I smiled and took the cake eagerly. One could never have too much cake- Hunny and I were living proof of that. Besides, I loved to snack while watching the show. Takashi smiled faintly and Hunny looked at me eagerly.
"Gywn-chan,"
"Gear," I correct and he giggled,
"Gear-chan! You really like your cake don't you?"
"Yep," I smiled and dug in once again. Then I smiled as the doors were opened loudly and Sam stormed in. She went straight to…and the winner is…Kyoya! Good. I needed to get him for selling that video of me. Danny may have released the video but Kyoya was actually selling it.

"Explain," she growled.
"What ever do mean," he asked as he pushed up his glasses. Jazzy sighed and went over to me. I continued eating my cake and watching amused.
"What did you do," she whispered.

"Nothin'," I said as I swallowed and then smiled innocently. I turned my attention back to Sam and Kyoya.
"The video," she growled, "THE FREAKING VIDEO!"

"Sam," Danny asked confused. Sam turned to him and glared,
"The video of you in the shower at school!"

Danny gulped at the glare. I covered my laugh. Sam turned back to Kyoya,

"AND YOU! YOU WERE ACTUALLY SELLING THAT VIDEO OF MY BOYFRIEND!"

I saw Kyoya shift uncomfortably and then turned to glare at me. I smiled innocently. When Sam was finally done screaming at Kyoya, and finished it off with a kick to his shin, she left- dragging Danny and Jazz with her.
"AND YOU," she turned to me, "YOU ARE WELCOME TO UNLEASH HELL ON HIM!"
I smirked evilly.

"You got it Sam!"

Sam nodded and then left. Danny and Jazz- who were being dragged- looked at me, their eyes were screaming for me to help. I did not help them, instead I just smiled sweetly. As soon as the doors shut behind them, the twins burst into loud laughter. Tamaki was crying for 'poor Mommy.' Haruhi was sighing. Hunny looked at me,
"Did you do that Gear-chan," he asked cutely. Kyoya's head whipped in my direction. I smirked as he stomped over- well limped over.

"You did that," he growled. I took a bite of the cake- well went to take a bite and then realized that sadly- I had no more cake. I smiled,
"You sold the video of me dirty dancing," I reminded, "I think it was about time that I paid my revenge."
"Oh, you mean the video that Takashi bought," the twins said slyly. Takashi turned a bright shade of red as everyone's head turned to him. I growled,
"…You what," I stomped up to him- ignoring Kyoya. I tried my best to stare into his eyes, but honestly- that was hard to do when he was taller than me. Takashi shook his head,
"I- I didn't."

The twins were laughing.
"My records say that Takashi did not buy any of the videos," Kyoya informed, "…the twins, however…"

They stopped laughing and I growled at them.
"Uh-oh," the twins gulped and I went straight up to them. I was about to knock them into next week when someone grabbed my hand. I turned and glared- until I realized it was Takashi. He was glaring at the twins but he looked at me.

"Not worth it."

I smirked evilly and dropped my hand,
"You're right….there's so much worse I can do."
The twins fainted.

Danny:

I gulped as Sam continued screaming at the video game. I supposed it was better than her yelling at me or kicking Kyoya again. Though that was funny. Sam was still grumbling even as Jazz brought in the diner.

"Kyoya was wrong to do what he did," Jazz pointed out, "But Danny- you know you shouldn't have given him that video of Gear either."

Sam growled. I rolled my eyes,
"Yeah I know, you haven't stopped reminding me."
"Gear should be by later," Jazz said as she handed us some plates of food. I didn't hesitate to dig in. Sam poked at it and then finally deemed it safe. Though she only deemed something safe when there was no meat and nothing animal-related in it. I shrugged.

"You shouldn't have crossed me."

I swallowed and turned. I glared as I saw Vlad- in ghost form- glaring at me.
"That was a childish thing to do, little badger. To put that video up."
"Uh that wasn't me," I growled and then stood up.

"Either way, you will regret it," he smiled, "And good luck dealing with the ghosts."
I would've shot an ecto-blast but I was still in the house. Vlad laughed evilly and then disappeared. I flew through the roof and tried to find him- but it didn't work. Finally, I flew back inside and transformed back into a human.
"Dang it," I muttered, "What's up with that fruitloop?"
Then a blue wisp escaped my mouth. I looked around and saw the Box Ghost. I let out a sigh of relief,
"Oh thank goodness. It's you. Bye-bye, boxy."

Sam sucked him into the thermos,
"I don't think it's just him Danny…"

I looked out the window and gulped. There were many random ghosts floating around. It wasn't just at my house- it looked like they were everywhere.

"You've got to be kidding me."
