This one may seem a bit rushed and short, but I wanted to focus on an amusing morning. Anyways, here's the next chapter...

Kurousagi had stretched her arms out as she started to rise from her bed. She was wearing a pink nightgown into bed last night, and she was worried about whether it was starting to get smaller for her (Especially around the chest area, which seems to be getting tighter). Taking a glance in the large mirror that was propped in the corner of her room, she turned to check for anything that seemed off before changing into the usual clothing Shiroyasha gave her. At first, she wasn't really comfortable with wearing it everywhere she went, even if Shiroyasha imbued it with the [Gift] to "almost see underneath, but not quite", but she eventually got used to it, knowing that things could've been worse, and the 30% increase in her income was too good to pass up.

After checking to make sure everything was in place, she nodded to herself and left to go wake up the problem children.

She decided to make her first stop in front of Asuka's room. She didn't hear anything about their return last night, and she was starting to get worried. She knocked on the door while calling out to the young "ojou-sama".

"Asuka-san? Are you in there?"

She put her ear next to the door and tried to listen for some kind of movement. A shuffling was heard before a sudden moan came from further inside.

"Yes…"

She sighed in relief. "Asuka-san, please come to the meeting room quickly. Master Jin wants to tell us all something."

"…O…k…" she heard a yawn before some more shuffling from inside.

She sighed before turning around to check on Yo's room. Likewise, she knocked on the door and called out to Yo. Yo had quickly opened the door to answer.

"Yo-san, please come to the meeting room. Master Jin wishes to tell us all something."

"K" Yo replied before going back to the bed to play with Calico cat, who was stretching with his stomach facing the ceiling.

Next was Cecilia, who was located a few doors away from Yo. Once again, she knocked on the door to check on the young maiden. However, there was no response. Kurousagi knocked a few more times, but there was still no answer. Twisting the knob, she found that it was open, so she looked inside to find Cecilia still in bed under a deep sleep. She thought about waking her up, but recalling the anger she saw yesterday, and considering the danger of having a grumpy problem child, she thought it would have been better to leave a note and hope that she would wake up by herself soon.

Finally, she tried Hikari, but she didn't get any kind of reply at all. Likewise, she started checking inside, but she saw that Hikari was nowhere to be found, so she assumed that the young girl must have wandered off somewhere nearby.

"Well, Hikari-chan will probably be fine…"

Next were the guys, starting with Ryo. She knocked on the door to his room while calling his name.

"Ryo-san!"

The door opened, and she saw that it was Ryo, all-dressed and wide awake. He bowed his head as he greeted Kurousagi.

"Good morning…"

"Good morning Ryo-san, are you all set?"

Ryo gave a small laugh. "I'm afraid Ryo hasn't woken up quite yet…"

"I see…eh?" Kurousagi tilted her head. "Then, who are…"

"Ah, pardon me…" Ryo(?) said apologetically. "I had meant the 'original' Ryo was not awake yet. I am simply a 'copy' of the original Ryo, meant to wake him up." The "copy" had opened the door further to show the "original" under the sheets and sleeping. Kurousagi sighed as she wondered if everyone new was going to be sleeping in like this.

"Then, please tell Ryo-san to go to the meeting room after he's done…"

"Very well…" The copy gave a graceful bow before closing the door.

She decided to check in Kyle's room afterwards, but like Hikari, Kyle was nowhere to be found, so she ended up making her last stop to Izayoi's room. She knocked on the door a couple of times, but nobody answered. She hesitantly turned the knob on the door and looked inside.

Maybe it was the discovery that the room was cleaner than she expected for someone like Izayoi, or maybe it was the fact that the temperature felt warmer inside, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She looked around to see that very little was out of place in this room. He didn't leave any garbage or anything dirty around anywhere at all. She turned to the bed to see Izayoi sleeping peacefully, half- covered by the blanket. She felt something clench in her heart slightly as she looked closer. His face was much more peaceful than how it usually seemed. If it wasn't for his destructive impulses and spiteful personality, she might have mistaken him as a normal boy. She slowly started to reach out to gently wake him up, when she suddenly noticed some kind of strange bulge in the blankets. She moved the blankets to see what the bulge was before wordlessly making a shocked face.

Hikari was trying to curl up like a ball while clinging onto the side of Izayoi's torso. She was sleeping with a peaceful face, like someone who found the softest bed ever made (times 10) and just had one of the best dreams anyone could ask for. Hikari was in the yellow pajamas she received earlier as a small gift, so she must have left her room at some point of the evening and snuck into Izayoi's bed to sleep instead. However, Kurousagi didn't seem to care much about that as what suddenly struck her mind.

"No way, Izayoi-san has those kinds of interests?" she said to herself as she took a couple steps back. Her face was a contorted mixture of shock and anger as she suddenly brought a paper fan seemingly out of nowhere. Izayoi suddenly yawned as he sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. He turned to see Kurousagi standing nearby with her hair a bright pink and a fierce aura surrounding her.

"Oi Kurousagi, it's pretty rude to just enter someone's room without permission…"

"Heh heh heh…Kurousagi wonders…can Izayoi-san really say that with Hikari-chan next to him like that?"

Izayoi turned to see Hikari nearby. "Oh, she did it again. It was like this back home too…" he scratched his head. "Guess I better explain this…" he turned his head back to Kurousagi, just in time to see her raise the paper fan before bringing it down with incredible force.

"YOU PERVERTED LOLICON!"

"What was that?"

Lily, Jin, Leticia, and Kyle were in the meeting room with a few of the other children, who were helping set the table for the "problem children", Jin, and Kurousagi. There was a loud *SMACK* that echoed which made Lily and Jin turn around towards the source.

"Don't worry about it," Leticia said with an expressionless face. "Master and the others will arrive soon, so we should prepare a sort of plan on how to expand our community."

"I guess you're right…" Jin replied half-heartedly. He was still worried, but he decided to follow the ex-[Demon Lord]'s advice, and turned back to the dark-clothed boy who was calmly drinking a cup of tea. "So, you said you were Kyle, right?"

"I guess…" Kyle replied in a dull tone.

"That's not your real name?"

"If you'd rather call me something else…"

"No." he sighed exhaustedly. "What about your [Gift]? Can you tell us what it is?"

"It's the power of a god…"

"Really?!"

"No, that was a lie…"

Jin was starting to get annoyed by these answers. No matter how many times he asked, this Kyle wouldn't give him a simple, straightforward answer. He thought he needed to set up some kind of plan to balance [Gift Games] and restoration, but he couldn't do that without knowledge of everyone's abilities and limits. He slammed the table in frustration.

"Are you seriously here to help us in the community or not?!"

Kyle placed the empty cup down before turning his head over to Jin.

"I'm just here to kill time. If you don't trust me, then just keep me close. Otherwise I better just leave…"

Jin started to sit down. "N-No…I…" there was a hint of panic in his voice while Kyle chuckled to himself.

"Just a joke. I won't say anything, but you'll learn about my [Gift] soon enough…"

The door suddenly opened, making the other three turn around to see who it was. Kurousagi was walking in exhaustedly, followed by Izayoi, who was wearing an amused face, Hikari, who came in without clinging to her brother (but was still a bit closer than the average person would stand), Cecilia and Ryo, who each still seemed to be half-asleep, Yo, who simply carried Calico cat in her arms, and finally Asuka, who seemed somewhat excited.

"Umm…Is there something wrong?" Jin asked as he saw Kurousagi slump into her chair looking completely exhausted.

"No…" She said in a tired voice. "Just go tell everyone what Jin's plan is…"

"R-Right…" Jin gave a small cough before standing up.

"Well then everyone, thank you for joining us all in the community [No Names]. I'm sure that you're all finally rested after getting a good night's sleep in your rooms. Now, do you all know about the condition of our community at the moment?"

Everyone present had either nodded or gave a small "yes" in acknowledgement.

"Then you all understand what we're also trying to do as our second goal?"

Izayoi, Asuka, and Yo grinned and/or nodded while the rest of the problem children either shook their heads or kept quiet.

"Our goal is to make defeat all [Demon Lords] that challenges us, or anyone we know." Jin's face seemed to look a bit more mature as he slightly gripped the table. "I don't want any other communities to suffer what we've been through. If we can help out in anyway, I'd like to offer my hand to everyone in need. That's why; I want to make sure that we can trust everyone of you to work hard when the time comes…"

There was a moment of silence as nobody moved an inch. Then, the newcomers each gave a small grin as they each turned to Jin.

"I don't care much about what happens," Hikari said. "As long as Nii-sama's around, I'll be willing to do anything!"

"I'm just happy to be here!" Ryo exclaimed. "If you're offering me something else that'll be new and exciting, then count me in!"

Cecilia nodded. "Sure…" she said softly.

Kyle smirked as he closed his eyes.

Jin started to relax his shoulders as he sat back down. "Thank you everyone…" he gave everyone a quick look before crossing his arms. "Now for the first order of business…"

"YA-HO, USA-CHAN!"

Everyone turned around as the doors at the entrance suddenly slammed open to reveal a young girl with pure white hair, cat-like ears, and a cat-like tail, as well as a maid costume, making a very dramatic entrance. The cat-girl seemed to have just noticed the others as she blinked a couple times before turning to Kurousagi.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Author's note: I'll try to keep things short this time.

So we've got the next character introduced, and I'm not sure when I'll post the next chapter.

Please review what you thought about this chapter, and hope you found it entertaining.
