Damn, I wish I had more reviews. Almost nobody seems to like this fic. Oh well, continue it anyway I shall. Enjoy! Side note: Do not stop reading because you're upset that TK's dead, you'll be very pleased later. Trust me…

"I can't believe he locked us up!" Yolei said with disgust "Poor TK though…" she drifted off.

"Well, we won't be in here forever," Izzy said looking at the tiny cell in the Sir Jyou's office. "I'm sure Cody will rescue us eventually, it's a good thing he stayed behind at the fortress to search for the body." Izzy said, remembering how they were told to bring TK back to the town, and how furious sir Jyou was when he saw him and Yolei carrying TK's body.

------------Meanwhile-------------

"I can't believe I'm holding his head" Cody said looking at the severed head of the brigand leader, in his hands by the hair. "Maybe sir Jyou will be happy when he meets TK's killer face to face."

------------Back to the Cell------------

It was dusk when TK's body was brought back, and it was getting dark, when the door to the office was quietly opened. A mysterious cloaked black figure slipped in. "Who's there!?" Izzy yelled.

Yolei picked up her head to look at the mysterious figure who wasn't responding. "Hey, I know you! You're that guy who was at the inn the other night, what are you doing here?" Yolei asked.

"Is it true?" the cloaked man asked.

"Is what true?" Izzy said, becoming more impatient.

"Are you the ones who killed the brigand leader?"

"Well, TK's the one who actually killed him, we just helped" Yolei said sadly, remembering how he died, and how much pain was on his face when he died and how pale he was. The blood pouring out of his chest.

The hooded and cloaked man came up to the lock on the cell door, and started fiddling with it with a tiny stick that wasn't very visible. * click *, and the door opened. "Follow me, and be quiet!"

He led them out the door and deep into the town, and into another house. He opened the door and led them in. The place seems to have been abandoned, with not much stuff in it. There was a bookshelf, and what looked to be gym equipment. The still-hooded man went up to the shelf, and pulled a book, and then a secret door opened. They were led through the dark passage in the strangest room they've ever seen. There were chests, weapons, and small strange tools all over the place.

"It's a thief guild" Izzy whispered to Yolei, recognising the strange tools to be lock picks and other stuff.

"I wonder how you guessed" The hooded man said. "Don't take me for a fool. I can hear very well Biderian"

"Why did you save us?" Yolei asked.

"Because, I am in your dept"

"Why is that?" Izzy asked.

"You killed the brigand leader Yannick, he killed my brother, and my parents"

"We may have not killed the right one then" Yolei said.

"Tell me, did he have a scar across his face?"

"Yes"

"Then it's definitely him, I gave him that scar personally"

"Well, at least tell us who you are"

"Very well" The man pulled down his hood, and Yolei and Izzy were shocked to see just how young the thief was. He could've been no older than TK was. He has raven black hair and dark eyes. "My name is Ken"

"It's nice to meet you" Izzy said putting out his hand for a shake.

Ken just drew back suddenly saying "Don't touch me!"

"Alright, well let's go" Izzy said.

"Go?" Yolei and Ken said in unison. Yolei was a little surprised that Izzy was taking over command.

"We're still going to go look for that body"

"Oh, you mean that fool's wife?" Ken said.

"Yes, we're going to continue searching for it. TK said that if it wasn't at the brigand fortress, it would be with some vampires."

"I can get you to the castle if you want" Ken said.

"Castle?"

"It is supposedly run over by vampires, it is believed that it's their home"

"Ok, great, but we need to find another way out of town, Sir Jyou will have our heads if he finds us"

Ken went to pull at a candlestick up on the wall, and a new secret door opened. "I believe I should warn you however, were going to the castle through a passage in the cemetery" And with that, he walked through the passageway. They were lead out of town through a ditch underneath the town wall, though it was cleverly concealed. "Just to let you know, we won't be able to go back in that way"

Yolei was looking and the big full moon in the sky. "It's a nice night" she said.

Ken, realising that it was night said "Follow me quickly, before we are killed" with that, he ran off in the direction of the cemetery.

"Wait!" Yolei shouted, trying to catch up.

It was about 5 minutes of running to cemetery, Ken approached one of the crypt's doors, took out one of his strange tools, and unlocked the door and opened it. "Quickly, inside" he said.

When they all got in, he said "We'll be safer in here".

"What!?" Yolei cried, "You think we're safer in a tomb rather than the outdoors?"

"Yes" he said calmly. In the tomb, there were coffins among coffins, and statues up against the wall. Ken went up to one, moved it's hand, and opened another secret passage.

"What is it with you and secret passages Ken?" Yolei asked sarcastically

Ken ignored her however and just said "Follow me" When they got out of the passage, a bookcase covered the way they came. "Be VERY quiet. It's night, and the vampires are awake, so they will kill us if they find us"

They went through the hallway and up the stairs, and when they reached near the top, Ken stopped just to check if there were vampires patrolling. They continued like this, and eventually, they came to this one stairway, were at the very top there was a door. Ken, feeling more confident about himself, flung the door open, only to find there was another vampire in the room, sitting on the floor. And she was looking straight at him, with those lifeless yellow eyes. Ken jumped on guard, flicked his wrist, and two daggers came out of his sleeves. Izzy took out his as well, while Yolei took out her loaded crossbow.

"Hello. Are you here to play with me?" the vampire asked.

"What?" Izzy asked. Looking over towards Ken, he seemed just as confused as Izzy was. The vampire had a strange, rose hair colour, in a nice dress, if she has an age, she would probably 17. Though the attributes about her that was the most obvious is how pale she was, and those glowing yellow eyes.

"So have you come to play with me? What are your names?"

Yolei, unusually brave, walked up towards the vampire, and sat down right in front of her. "I'm Yolei, that's Izzy, and that's Ken" pointing at each person respectively. "Tell me, are there any other vampires here?"

The vampire nodded, "Oh yes, quite a few. But they all said that they were hungry, so they left."

"Uhh, tell me, are the other vampires nice?"

"Oh yes, they always give me this nice red stuff. It tastes really good"

Yolei went a little pale after hearing this, "Uh, so what's your name?"

"Me? I'm Mimi"

"Mimi!?" They all said.

"Why don't you ever go back to see your husband?" Yolei asked. "Don't you miss him?"

"Yes, I miss him very much. Sometimes, when I wake up, and I don't see, I feel like I'm going to cry. But I can't for some reason, I just feel … sad."

"So why don't you leave and go see him?"

"I want to, but the others tell me that he doesn't want me. That he would be scared if he saw me, I don't want that. So I stay here"

"You know, if you come with us, we can make your husband want to see you again. And you'll be able to see him every day"

"Really?" Mimi asked

Izzy looked at Ken suspiciously. "Yes, but we need to go now. How soon can you get ready?" Ken asked.

"I'm ready now, please, I want to see my husband again!"

"Then let's go" They ran through the castle, to get back to the room with the passageway back to the passage way they came from. Ken pulled a candlestick and the bookshelf moved out of the way so they can get through. Out of crypt they went and to the closed town doors they got to.

"Damn, I forgot we won't be able to get in" Ken said.

"Sure we will" Izzy replied, he extended his arms, Yolei held on to him, so he can bring her over the top. Next was Mimi, then it was Ken. They went back to the thief's guild. Izzy walked up to Ken and whispered in his "Is there actually a way to get her to become human again?"

"Yes, she's at an early stage of being a vampire, she should be able to be saved"

"I hope you know what you're doing"

"I do, but I need you and Yolei to leave. Go back to the building that has the passageway to this one. You should rest until dawn."

Izzy and Yolei obeyed and left the room to wait, but during the process of waiting, they heard nothing but horrifying screams from Mimi. It sounded as if she was being tortured, VERY slowly. Needless to say, the two got no sleep that night.

------------At Dawn------------

The screams finally stopped, Yolei and Izzy rushed back to the thief's guild. There was Ken, and next to him, was Mimi. Though something was changed, Mimi seemed… living. Her skin was no longer pale and gave a healthy glow, and her eyes were no longer yellow.

"What on Earth did you do to make her scream so much?"

"…Holy Water was necessary" Ken said.

"Are you ready to go see your husband?" Yolei asked.

"Yes, I want to see him so much" Mimi replied.

They went to the entrance of the town, where Sir Jyou was always on watch during the day. "Hello Sir Jyou" Yolei said.

Looking to see that his escaped prisoners were right in front of him, Sir Jyou drew his sword.

"Wait! We have someone you might want to meet" Yolei said.

From the corner stepped out Mimi "Joe!" she cried running towards him embracing him.

"M-Mimi?" the stunned warrior asked. "Is it really you?"

"Yes, and I'm never leaving you again!"

"God! I missed you so much! I thought you were dead!" At this point, both of them were crying.

"I don't what I was, but those people over there brought me to you" She said pointing at the three.



Jyou turned his eyes onto the three, "I owe you my thanks…" he said in the harshest of ways, remembering about poor TK.

Out of his office, stepped out TK himself, wrapped in bandages and such. "Who's there Joe?" he asked, barely looking able to stand as it is.

"Oh my god, TK!?" Yolei said, looking in awe at the child who they all thought had died.

"TK? Is it really you?" Mimi asked, quickly rushing towards him giving him a huge hug.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Mimi? It's you! Ow!" He said crying in pain.

Mimi quickly let go, "Whoops, sorry. Who did that to you?" She asked in concern.

"Those fools" Sir Jyou said, pointing at them.

"No, that's not true" TK said weakly. "It was the brigand leader that did this to me".

"Then, I assume you are the one who killed him?" Ken said, stepping towards him.

"Yes"

"I give you my eternal gratitude, sir. Now excuse me, I'll be leaving. I paid my debt"

"Mimi, it's been so long, you missed so many things. I don't know where to start" Jyou said to her.

"We all do, I want to hear everything. So let's do it over dinner, I'll prepare the food" She said kissing him on the cheek.
