Babysitting?" Dean said. "What about getting us out of here?!"
"The baby is related somehow to the Hikawa family." Sam said, playing with his toes.
"Right. Priestess and Fox girls." Dean said. "Little brother?"
"Maybe. His name is Henry." Sam said. "I can't get him to stop crying!"
Sam was rocking the baby, really just trying everything, but baby Henry wailed.
Cass wondered in, covering his ears, and popped a pacifier in Henry's mouth. "Masalkas."
Henry calmed and Sam put him in his carrier, sitting on the couch next to Dean.

"Boys we're headed out." Mary said. "Keep an eye on baby Henry!"
"That's right. We're so proud of you." John said.
"Who are you going out with?" Cass asked.
"Kaori Hikawa." Mary said. "Baby Henry is her relative."
"That's Kuri's Grams." Sam whispered.
"Then who's the baby?" Dean said.
"Don't worry so much." Sam said. "The point is, this could get us on her good side."
"Good point." Dean said.
John and Mary left.
Cass was standing over Henry's carrier, reaching for him with a lollipop in his hand, when he struck something solid. "A...barrier?"
In a flash of white light, the baby vanished.
"HENRY!" Dean and Sam chorused.
"Relax. You two forget everything you've ever learned?" Cass rolled his eyes. "Masalka."
In a flutter of wings, he was gone.
Cass reappeared with Henry in his arms. "I can disable his teleportation power while I hold him. This seems to be a trap set by that family—the Hikawas."
"That could mean they plan to hurt Mom and Dad!" Sam said, grabbing the phone.
He dropped it and Dean caught it. "Clumsy Sammy."
Dean called his Mom.
After a short conversation, Dean hung up.
"Nothing weird there." Dean said.
"Ha ha ha!" Henry said, and a flash of light send a note flying through the air.
Sam caught it.
"Hello there, Winchesters, and little Fledgling Cass. Welcome to the Game. Henry there was our idea of a little joke. Notice how much he resembles Dean, ne? Anyway, the only way out of here is to win us over and we don't come easy. But the important part of any game is to have lots of fun!"
Cass looked at Henry. "The baby has your eyes and scowl, Dean."
"Don't be stupid Cass." Dean rolled his eyes. "Letting her get in your head."
"It's signed Kurisuta Hikawa." Sam said. "But she talked about someone else..."
They all sat down, feeling rather trapped and defeated as the infant Henry laughed.

John and Mary came in laughing and kissing on each other.
Kaori came in behind them and picked up a sleeping Henry, who woke and waved his arms.
John and Mary went into the kitchen, leaving Dean and Sam alone with Kaori and the baby.
Kaori lifted Henry and threw him in the air, where he hovered, did a flip and came down.
Kaori smirked. "Did you have fun, boys?"
She vanished, golden light shimmering in her absence.

In the real world, Gabriel laughed at his wife.
"Inari dear..." Gabriel said. "Was that fun?"
"Oh immensely." Inari said, and transformed 'baby Henry' back into the fledgling Cherub Shippo.
"Let the Games begin."
