Ottawa: Ooh, we are evil for leaving it there

Dante: Why can't you let me kill the bitch?

Rye: Because then me and Ottawa woul have to pick on you.

Dante: ... I hate you.

Rye: I know you love me.

Yugi: Disclaimer and warnings still apply.

Rye had just gotten Gandhi out of her shop and Queen Elizabeth came in asking for a beauty potion to help her look younger. Rye greeted the queen and was making her a night cream when she sensed a sudden pulse of magic and then was assaulted by the scent of blood. She gasped and collapsed. Ottawa quickly ran to help her as did the queen. Rye shook her head to clear her thoughts before she got up.

"Please excuse me, something just came up... Ottawa prepare a sleep potion... a very potent one for fiends."

"Huh? Why?"

"Just... do it." Rye sighed as she got up and walked over to the door leading to the basement. As soon as she opened it a howl was heard, a fiend's howl.

Ottawa quickly got to work on the potion as the others came running into the room looking for the source of the sound. Queen Elizabeth just sat in her seat, she was used to this to be honest.

"What was that?" Kanna asked as she watched Rye disappear down stairs.

"Rye!" Izzy yelled as he, Clover and Shade ran into the room.

"She's down-"

Izzy rook off before Ottawa finished and Clover helped her with the potion, Shade tried to keep the others that had come back up from having fun downstairs calm so that whatever was going on down there would soon end...

Back downstairs.

Seto, Bakura and Marik came running hearing the commotion, the group of six had been heading to the Tunnel of Love when Yugi came running tears in his eyes saying that Atem was in danger. Tea said that a monster attacked Atem and was going to kill him. Malik and Ryou tended to the two frantic teens, Yugi more than anybody as their lovers went to deal with the monster. Seto gasped seeing the armor covered Fiend that was tearing into Atem with alarming strength. Gods shouldn't be able to bleed, but Atem was nearly covered in his own blood.

"Come Hikaku G-!"

Suddenly a black blur shot passed him and rammed right into the beast and knocked it into the water. Atem curled up; he was in a lot of pain and wanted to disappear. Standing over him was a black wolf and it glared down at the water before turning to Atem and biting the collar of his shirt, it dragged him over to Bakura and with a glare looked at Atem then twisted its head toward the stairs. Bakura was about say something when the beast pounced on the wolf, snapping its jaws, but this time a white blur attacked and knocked it off and back into the water. A white version of the beast stood over the wolf, who got up and shook its fur out and growled at the other which nodded and jumped back when the beast attacked again.

Seto was stunned that much was for sure. He jumped when Joey grabbed his arm and pulled him back, Malik and Ryou were there as well. Yugi and Tea were sent upstairs.

"Seto!"

They turned to see Ottawa as she held a rifle in her hands and had five darts filled with a dark blue, almost indigo, liquid. She handed him the spare darts as she readied the rifle. The wolf flicked an ear back and then looked to see Ottawa and nodded before charging the beast, it swiped at her, but the white beast rammed it, knocking it back into the water before the white beast was shot back by the black one. The wolf growled and transformed before them. Rye stood up and glared at the beast.

"What the!" was all they could say as Rye glared, a tail hanging from her back and wolf ears on her head, she glared at the beast and growled:

"Dante! Enough! Calm yourself!"

The beast snarled and tried to attack, but Rye sidestepped it and kneed it in the gut before bringing her leg up and her heel down on the back of its skull. It grabbed her foot and held her upside down, before it swung her into the side of the tunnel, a scream ripping out of her as she fell to the floor. Ottawa fired then and there hitting the beast right in the neck and then grabbed another dart and loaded it as it turned on them. She took aim and was about to fire when its eyes suddenly rolled and collapsed, slowly turning back into a human as the white beast did the same. The white one turned about to be Izzy and the black one was Dante, who was knocked out.

Rye got up and sighed as Izzy picked up his brother and carried him out of the basement and up to his room.

"The hell just happened?" Ottawa asked.

"That's what I want to know... He doesn't snap like that unless some said something to really piss him off or someone was stupid enough to touch Shade. And Shade's been in the library all morning so it has to be the former..." Rye said. "Bring Atem to the west wing on the second floor. I'll send Faust up with a medicine to tend to your friend... sorry about this."

"... Uh... yea..." Seto said as they headed out. Rye sighed and clapped her hands, a bunch of Kappa demons appeared and she told them to clean the place up and to bring her anything that looked suspicious or they knew for a fact didn't belong to her or shouldn't belong down there. They bowed and got to work.

Ottawa watched them for a moment, allowing her mind to work. There was something in the back of her mind, overshadowed by all the other random thoughts running around her head, and she needed to be silent and still, allowing the idea to take shape on its own. After a moment she had it; there was only one person in this house who was down in that basement, and foolish enough to insult Dante.

"The bitch." She growled, eyes narrowing predatorily. She couldn't accuse her, not now, not until Dante woke up, but she would keep her eyes open for any slip-ups.

"What's going on out there?" Chrome called out as she passed by the living room. She backtracked and looked at him.

"We had a fiend attack." She replied. "Dante went nuts and we had to subdue him, he's going to have a hell of a headache when he wakes up, I'll tell you that."

"Who would be stupid enough to piss off a fiend?" Chrome said in disgust.

"I have my suspicions." Ottawa growled. She then realized that Amidamaru was still floating along behind her. "Why don't we go look for Yoh?" The samurai spirit nodded so eagerly she almost thought his head would go flying off. She waved goodbye to Chrome and Lyserg, who was staring at the ground, looking pathetic, and wandered off to find Yoh and Hao.

She looked in the garden, but they were gone. She then went to Hao's room, and knocked on the door. "What?" A very disgruntled Hao yelled from inside.

"Is Yoh in there? And are you two decent? I have someone here who wants to see him." Ottawa heard Hao sigh in annoyance.

"Come in." He said in an aggravated tone. Ottawa opened the door and went inside. Hao and Yoh were sitting on the bed, and Yoh had his shirt half off, and more hickeys dotting his neck, shoulders and collarbone.

"Interrupting something?" Ottawa teased. Hao growled and Ottawa smirked at the sight of a light red mark on Hao's neck, just below his left ear. "Yoh getting a little bolder?" Yoh blushed at the suggestion and then his eyes widened as Amidamaru peeked in.

"Yoh!" Amidamaru yelped, floating over to hug his young charge. "You're ok, you're not hurt... what are those on your neck?" Yoh blushed deeper as Amidamaru inspected the hickeys. "Yoh?"

"Um, I think I have some explaining to do." Yoh gave Hao an apologetic look. "Hao, do you think you could leave us alone for a little while?" Hao pouted but then sighed.

"I suppose if you don't explain it, he will try to attack me." He said. Hao gave Yoh a light kiss on the lips and then stalked from the room. Ottawa waved goodbye to Yoh and Amidamaru, and then caught up to Hao. "You are determined to kill the mood, aren't you?" Hao demanded.

"No, but you do pick inconvenient times and places to attempt to jump your brother's bones." Ottawa commented. "I do think that you should at least attempt to take him on a date before screwing his brains out."

"A date? How am I going to do that when we can't leave this house?" Hao demanded.

"Didn't you learn anything from Yoh's diary?" Ottawa asked cheekily. Hao paused and looked at her oddly, before an idea came to him.

"Yoh wanted a picnic..." Ottawa nodded, encouraging him to go on. "Under the stars."

"Right." Ottawa clapped his hands. "And we have a huge garden that you can have a lovely picnic in." She grinned at him. "Why don't I give you a hand in getting food and stuff ready?" Hao gave her a sidelong glance.

"So long as you promise not to slip any potions in the food or drink."

Ottawa: Ooh, Hao's going on a date!

Hao: Shut up!

Rye: Why? Where not cockblocking! Sheesh... you should be glad I didn't lock Yoh in a tower where you couldn't get to him!

Hao: And why wouldn't I be able to do that?

Rye: Because me and Ottawa would blast you with ice cold water every time you try.

Hao: ... I hate you.

O and R: We love you too, Hao!

Yoh: Review please and thank you!
