Yugo's mansion
Everything was normal and quite peaceful. Alice is still in the hospital, looking after Shenlong. Just remembering the tiger's condition brings out the worry at the corner of everyone's hearts. Casey was sitting on the couch where Shenlong used to sit and Xion was right next to her, eyes on the television but his mind wasn't there. He wasn't focusing on anything and his mind was brought back down to earth when he felt something rest on his shoulder, leaning on him. He looked at his shoulder and found the girl who had opened his heart to someone. She looked so peaceful but, looks can be deceiving and Xion knew something was wrong. He slung an arm around her quite frail shoulder and whispered in her ear,
"You can't keep it from anything or anyone forever, Casey. You know that you can trust me. So, tell me. I don't like to see someone look so blue." She chuckled slightly when he said blue, remembering she had dyed her hair blue. Her red bangs were hiding her eyes and even though her lips were smiling, her eyes were in sorrow.
Xion lifted the girl's chin with his finger so that she was looking at him. Her red orbs met his blue ones as her eyes tried hiding her thoughts. Worried tears flowed down her pale cheeks as she was held in a warm embrace by Xion.
It felt like an eternity when Casey decided to tell him what was on her mind.
"I'm... worried..." Casey nearly whispered, luckily Xion heard. She felt him nod as he asked softly, almost purring,
"What is it?"
"...Ever since I came here, bad things started happening. First, the fighting ring, and then I killed people in the streets; I even hurt Uriko, Kenji, Long and you!" The blue-haired girl burst into tears on the unborn's shoulder as he stroked her softly, which seems to calm her down.
"...And now... Shenlong's life is resting on a thread..." She finally finished when she could find her voice again. After a few minutes of silence, Xion made his move. He lifted her face up to look at him again and this time, he used his thumb to wipe the tears away.
"It's okay... Shenlong's still alive. He'll be fine. You never know that guy can survive miraculously." Xion's words lifted her spirits a little, giving her a little confidence. A smile played on her lips as she leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on Xion's lips. She wished she could stay like that forever when she heard someone 'cough'. They both pulled away quickly and turned around in separate directions. Gado was leaning on the wall, watching them. Luckily, the lion couldn't see their bright crimson faces or else, he would have made it the laughing stock of the week.
"I didn't think you two would do 'it' on the couch." Gado said, laughing as Xion turned around and glared at the lion angrily, his face as red as a tomato or, even redder!
"Uh... Gado-san, it's not what you think. You're so dirty-minded, you know!" Casey snapped, not looking at the elder lion. Gado stopped laughing after a few minutes and went off to his room. Surprisingly, Busuzima walked out of his lab, a serious look on his face. Not the usual nutty look that he had and the stupid grin he had that looked like it was plastered there. He motioned Casey into his lab, not saying a word. At first, Casey hesitated. Finally, she gathered all her courage and followed the chameleon into the basement 'lab'.
There were several cages in the lab and weird creatures were inside the cages. Busuzima didn't look like he was pulling her leg to call her to the basement as he sat on a chair, in front of a laptop and suddenly asked,
"Do you have any relatives?" His voice sounded different. It wasn't the usual nutty Busuzima she knew, he was a serious scientist as Casey answered,
"Yes. I had a sister." Her answer caught the scientist's attention. He typed a few words more into the laptop when he asked again,
"Was her name by any chance, Uranus?" It was Casey's turn to be surprised.
"How did you know?"
"She was a completed zoanthrope on the same day you were. Her genetic codes matches yours, and I suspect you have something to do with these few happenings while you stayed here. You might be helping this 'Uranus' character get information or even working for her." Busuzima stood up, facing the marine zoanthrope with threatening eyes.
"Busuzima, I have nothing to do with this! Why do you think would I want to try and kill Shenlong!? I can't believe you're accusing me for something I didn't even know I did!"
"A liar always tries to use anger to hide the truth. If you won't tell me now, I'll have to do something about it then." The scientist turned into his chameleon form as he charged at Casey who was defenseless. She didn't know what struck her when she was knocked into the wall, hard.
"Busuzima, stop this! This is crazy! I don't know what the hell a zoanthrope such as me would want to hide anything from you!" Busuzima didn't stop attacking and said in between blows,
"If you don't tell me, then I will have to get rid of you." He was about to dig his claws into Casey when something kicked him away from the blue- haired zoanthrope. Casey knew it right away.
"Xion!"
"Xion, what are you doing!? This zoanthrope is dangerous! We should demolish her before she kills any of us!" Xion's eyes stared coldly as he said,
"Nonsense."

*Flashback*
The two were in a field, flowers surrounding them. Casey had some flowers in her arms.
'Say, Xion, if people start suspecting me for something, what would you do?'
'Why that of all questions?' Xion raised an eyebrow at her as she smiled coyly and said,
'Well, just want to know how much you care for me. That's all.'
'sighs Well, I'd protect you, of course. I won't want you to get hurt now, would I? I'd protect you from anything. Anyone would for their loved ones.'
'Is that a promise?'
'What?'
'Do you promise you'd protect me?'
'Smiles I promise.'
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
'A promise is a promise. I can't break it.' Xion walked over to Busuzima and whacked the scientist on the head.
"How would you know she did it? Your science won't prove anything just accusing her like that, idiot." Xion walked out of the dark lab, bringing Casey with him. She did feel guilty for getting Busuzima in some trouble. She always feels guilty if someone gets in trouble. As if she had done it.
The next morning, Casey was nowhere to be seen. Uriko had knocked on Casey's locked door for the umpteenth time and still no response. Now, she's banging on it.
"CASEY!!! IF YOU'RE NOT COMING DOWN, I'M TAKING YOUR SHARE OF BREAKFAST!!" Uriko yelled. After a few minutes of silence, she took a distance from the door and did a running kick, knocking the door down. She looked into the room and found it in shambles. The bed looked like people had stepped on it, one of the closets' doors was blown off of its hinges, the study table was split in half and most of all, some blood stains on the floor. The scene made Uriko freeze for a minute when she finally screamed,
"CASEY'S GONE!!!!!!!" She jumped from the stairs, stumbled and was caught by Kenji.
"What do you mean, she's gone?" Shina asked, wiping some sweat from her forehead.
"I mean, she's gone! Go and see for yourself! I kinda yelled at her, since there wasn't any response, I kicked the door down, and saw her room upside- down from its normal position!" Uriko blurted out. Xion was the first to go up the stairs and into Casey's room. Sure enough, everything seemed wrong. The others came in a few minutes later as Yugo stepped in, inspecting everything. He checked the bed, closet, everything when he found a piece of paper on the broken window. He read through it quickly and turned to Xion.
"Xion, I don't think you'll like what this says."
Xion took the paper from Yugo's hand and read it slowly.
What is the contents of the 'note'? Next chapter.
