I'm bored, so I'm going to type another chapter. I'm just waiting at the moment. Have fun reading the next chapter.

Chapter 24 – Pass Time

"When you enter the auction, you must act regal and keep your temper in check. You must walk with the same number of strides between your steps. Act as if you're better than everyone else," Feira explained to the clueless blond devil.

"Okay…I think I understand that," she answered.

"Good because we only have one more day before the auction, so you'll have to do everything correctly if you want the plan to work," Feira said. The two girls were seated alone together in a room, going over everything they need to do for tomorrow. Once they were done reviewing, they exited the room and gathered in the dinning area.

"We have nothing more to show you, so how about we just have some fun," Kaitra stated. Everyone nodded and went on their way. Akit and Feira stayed behind.

"So what do we do now?" Akit asked Feira. "Want to do something together if you don't have anything better to do?" There was a blush on the male's cheeks.

"Are you nuts? Why would I want to stay with you?" Feira teased as a grin appeared on her face. She loved to tease him. It was so amusing.

"What…" he murmured. She could clearly see the hurt look in his eyes.

"Yes, I would I hang out with a mutt. You still act like a puppy though. Come back to me when you've matured a bit. Act more like your brother. He's so calm and mature, unlike you," she remarked. She almost giggled when his face turned red out of embarrassment and anger. The silver-eyed devil glared at the green eyed one.

"So you think I'm not mature," he stated. His eyes narrowed and he stood up abruptly from his chair. Feira did the same thing and backed away from Akit.

'Let the chase begin,' she thought.

Feira dashed towards the front door and slammed it shut behind her. Akit ran after her on all four of his limbs. He spotted a few planks of wood blocking a hole in the door, so he smashed through and broke the wood. Unfortunately, in the process of passing through the hole…he got stuck.

"Ha! Gotcha!" Feira exclaimed as she burst into laughter. Akit saw her walk around the house to get in from the back entrance. He struggled to get free, but all attempts for freedom failed.

Rosette went down the stairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She passed by the front door on her way and immediately spotted Akit in a degrading position. He was half stuck inside and half stuck outside. His long fluffy white tail was trying to find something solid to help pull him out.

Rosette stared at the display.

"I don't even want to know," she stated as she walked away.

Feira walked up to Reichu's room and knocked on the door. Reichu answered it while rubbing his eyes sleepily. It was obvious that he had been taking a nap.

"What?" he asked tiredly.

"Akit said that he need your help in the kitchen where the front door is. He said it was urgent," she told him as she suppressed her laughs. Reichu sighed and walked out of the room. Once he got to the kitchen, he froze. His little brother was stuck in the door again.

"Not again!" he complained. "Akit I thought you had learned your lesson after the first 15 times she did it," he added, "Don't move. I'll help you and then I'll fix the hole."

Athrilmaru silently followed Kaitra. He didn't know where he was going, but it didn't matter to him. He loved her, so he was always going to follow the other devil. His blue tail was swinging loosely in the air to show his content.

"Why are you following me?" Kaitra asked.

"Because I'm bored," was his answer.

"I feel like I was just insulted, but whatever," she replied. She wandered around the house until she got bored. Kaitra was getting annoyed of Athrilmaru following her. She turned around and glared at the blue haired cat demon.

"Stop following me!" she exclaimed. She turned around and ran to her room. Once she was inside, she slammed the door in his face and locked the door. She leaned on the door and sat down on the ground.

'Why does he always do that? He's always staring at me with a weird glint in his eyes. It's so creepy. It's like he's obsessed with me,' she thought as she closed her eyes. Soon afterwards, she was fast asleep with all her worries at the back of her head.

Feira walked up to Rosette's room and gently knocked on the door. No one answered. She sighed and turned away from the door only to come face to face with the playful blond devil that she had been looking for. Her features lit up with joy.

"What's wrong?" she questioned the green haired dog.

"I want to play a trick on the cat bothers. Do you want to help?" she asked Rosette. Rosette grinned and nodded her head fiercely.

"Good!" she exclaimed happily, "I've got an awesome plan."

"Who are the cat brothers?" Rosette questioned.

"Zenku and Ayu."

"Where are they? I don't usually see them around," Rosette answered.

"There's a dojo at the back of the house. They're usually there if they're not either eating or sleeping. They say that they always need to practice hard," she answered.

"What are you planning?" Rosette asked. Feira smirked and whispered something quietly in her ear. Rosette grinned and nodded her head.

"I can do that," she replied. Both girls left the room while plotting.

"You need to charge more aggressively!" Ayu shouted at his brother. His white hair was falling loosely around his face. His keen cat ears were silently listening for any moves his opponent might make. He was holding a sword in his hand. It had a tiger engraved on the hilt.

"You're too strong for me! I can't beat you!" Zenku complained as he fell to his knees in exhaustion. He tried to catch his breath as he looked at his brother.

"Stop saying that! You'll have to practice more and only then will you get better," Ayu shouted. "Now get up!"

Zenku slowly got to his feet and got into an attack position. "I'm ready," he murmured. He began to charge, but during his attack he froze.

"Why did you stop?" Ayu asked.

"I…can't…move…" was all the demon said. Rosette and Feira watched them from the window on the ceiling. They giggled when they saw their spell take effect.

"Now it's Ayu's turn!" Feira exclaimed as she chanted a quick spell. Ayu's sword swung in the air and levitated, making it impossible for him to catch it. Ayu tried to jump to catch it.

"Come back here!" he yelled as the sword flew away and he started to run after it. Zenku snickered as he watched his brother act so childish.

"Ayu…I think you should stop. It's obviously a trick that Feira planned. Calm down before you loose your cool," Zenku stated. Ayu halted and looked around the room.

"Where is she? She knows that I hate it when she plays tricks on me!" he exclaimed in his rage. " Why does she continuously do it?"

"Because she knows that you loose your calm. You looked it so easily. You might be stronger then me, but I'm able to keep a straight face in a serious situation," Zenku stated, Ayu growled and turned his attention to his brother.

"Be quiet!" he grumbled as he looked around the room. He suddenly spotted the two giggling girls on the roof and growled. He grinned evilly and used his demonic speed to go onto the roof. The girls didn't notice his disappearance because they were laughing so hard. He coughed a little to catch their attention. They gasped and looked at him. A look of pure horror was etched onto their faces.

"Revenge is sweet!" he stated as he gave them a fanged grin. He jumped over to them and pushed then into the window, which happened to be open. They crashed to the floor in a heap. The spell on Zenku was lifted and he was finally free from his confinement.

"Finally!" Zenku said as he stretched. Being immobile for so long had made his muscles sore.

"Ouch," was all that Rosette said.

That's all for today. It's longer then the previous chapter. I know nothing happened in this chapter but the action will begin again the next one. Can you guess what's going to happen to Rosette at the auction?
