In a strange place

Chihiro had her knees to her chest, she was sitting in a corner of an Ancient Japanese bedroom filled with toys, when she heard the heavy foot steps and saw a shadow in front of the screen door, trying to open it, but the door was locked tight. There was a hole in the screen.

"Oh Chihiro...chihiro," A voice giggled as it knocks on the screen, "Don't you wanna come out? I'm bored...you let my toy get away and now I want to play."

"No!" She shouted back, "You're no fun at tea parties."

"Oh C'mon, I just wanna play...don't you wanna play? Isn't that what sisters do?" The female figure asked cheerfully.

She shook her head.

"C'mon you silly, someone wants to talk to you...the boss...ya know...it's not so bad." The voice laughs again, but this time, its voice changed into a deep tone, like two people were talking.

"Just leave me alone! I'm not speaking to you anymore. You crossed the line, you're a bad line crosser."

"C'mon on out or..." The shadow moved towards the hole, where a dark purple eye stares through, but the eyes turns black, "Or you can let me in?"

"You can't come in...just please...go away...please...with caramel on toast."

Back in the Abyss

The female figure smiled, standing in front of the boss and Him floated (still a spirit) next to the girl.

"Sorry...she won't come out to say hello...you'll just have to play with her later." The female figure smiled again and held Mina in the air, "We should have a tea party...but she let my toy go...we can invite more people...of course Mina...I won't flip out...of course not." The female figure giggled, walking away.

The Master sat back down, tapping its claw on the handle of its throne, The other three, Blake, Britain and Bonnie stood there bowing their heads.

"You three..." The figure hissed, Blake and Britain actually closed their eyes ready for a blast or any form of torture, "did well...I had not realized how strong you were...to take on my old Leech and That disappointing girl as well...of course...they did get away...without 'Buttercup', we can't turn her into the monster that fulfills its final task...But still...well done you three." The figure waved its hand dismissing them.

Him spoke after the three left,"What do we do now? I can't believe that girl was able to break through...overpower that demon so quickly...how?"

"I'm not surprised, she has done it before, the exorcism only gave the 'other' one more 'room'...more power...but she can still over power it, with the right motivation...this is difficult...it seems...Shehas done something very damaging...she gave them the green sketchbook."

"Oh that thing, what does it matter?" Him was sent flying back.

"You damn fool, the only reason they haven't figured out the main objective is because I let them find only what and when I need them too...it's true...the plan has strayed a little but it was nothing that couldn't be fixed...Now...just when everything was coming together...I have been searching for years for that sketchbook...it has clues...it could help the Silver One regain his memory. He could remember who he gave the ability to remove the seal

"Excuse me...but Buttercup is still curs-"

"Wait a minute...I just thought of something...it could turn this whole thing around...maybe Buttercup should be where she's at...we should send monsters her way...wet her appetite...and be prepared for 'the ritual'."

"You don't mean...the ritual."

"Of course...I need that child at her full potential...and nothing to distract her."


Buttercup and Beast landed in an alleyway close by the school.

"I'm home." Buttercup smiled but then she fell back as the red eyes disappeared, she noticed Beast's sad silence, "I don't know what's going on with that psycho girl...but..."

"Miss Buttercup, please...we must return," Beast looked sadly down at the ground, "And if you do not mind...please do not tell the others about Chihiro..or those girls."

"What?"

"I fear that if we expose them that it may...Listen...the fact that Insidious has not expose to us yet must mean that it is waiting for something. Exposing those three now, Insidious will have no use keeping them a secret...and they may come after you...they could even destroy your friends...Chihiro has saved us, had we stayed...and they really fight us...I fear that we would have lost."

Buttercup just nodded, "I don't get it, the girl...this Belle...she...she wasn't the same-"

"Please Miss Buttercup, she must remain a secret as well until the time is right. I...I feel as though...there is something in this...I feel as though...there is something important that I am missing." Beast started crying, "But My Chihiro was still in there...after all this time...she was still in there...I should not have left...I should have taken her with me...I could have helped her...brought her out here...Out of Insidious' reach...but..but...now I will never see her again." He burst into tears and Buttercup hugs him.

"I don't know much about her...but when...she calls me Cupie...that must have been her...she knew you were in trouble...she wanted to save you... She's not gone...she's in there somewhere...we'll go back there and get her."

"I wish I could believe that but you do not understand-" He blushed as Buttercup hugged him again.

"Hey, we'll get her out and teach that boss thing and those three a thing or two, but I won't tell anyone until you're ready...ok?"

"Yes," He stood up after helping her up, he bowed, "I thank you, Miss Buttercup, I will be happy to escort you home if you like. I am sure your friends and Sensei Utonium will love to see you but I believe that bringing comfort to such a worrying family would be better."

Buttercup pushes his arm, he blushed again and rubbing it in pain, "I can't believe you're a Jojo."

"Oh is that quite a shocker, Eldest Brother Brick said he will teach me about jacking a car and how to be a real Jojo."

"What?"

"Yes...It must be a game...So...why would I play jacks with a car, would the car not be too heavy...in the Edo Period, we played with balls...maybe it is a new thing."
