RIIIIIING! RIIIIIING! "Slaggit.." Terry dragged his lazy teen-age butt over to the phone. "'Lo?" "Is Oyuka Makenari present?" He glanced at the still form of his friend on the couch. "Yeah. She was asleep, but since you guys always manage to call at 6:00 in the morning, she's awake now. Here she is." He threw the phone over. It froze in mid-air and floated to her head. "Hello." Her voice was flat, no emotion. "Miss Makenari, how are you?" "Been better." "Well, we've found you a foster home. With a Mr. Billings. Ira Billings. He said you two had a lot in common". Terry's eyes narrowed from his positstion on the extention. "Good." "Well, goodbye!" The phone floated to it's hook. Terry ran to her and crouched. "Oyuka, what's the matter with you! You know who Ira Billings is?" She shrugged. Suddenly, Terry's head was full of pain. And words. *Terry, help! Evil! It's back! Just prove you love me!* Oyuka's eyes were shut tightly. She was shaking vehemetly, like she was struggling. "Prove I love you?" He thought for a second, then kissed her fully on the lips. "Fool," she said through his lips. "It's too late for this girl. I have returned, stronger than ever!" Oyuka's-was it Oyuka?-eyes glowed with red light. "I took her in Japan, but she escaped me. I waited, taking normals. Growing stronger. Now I have returned! And I have no more use for this body." A giant black shadow floated out of Oyuka's mouth. It enveloped Terry, picking him up and slamming him against the wall. "Join me, Tomorrow Knight," it said. Terry froze. It must have taken that from Oyuka's memories! Oyuka herself was slumped on the floor, unconsious. Or was it worse? "What the hell are you?" He asked, losing breath as the...It squeezed him. Damn, for a shadow it was strong! "I am every evil inside that girl, and millions of people. That's all I am. Evil. Join me, and we will rule." Mary and Matt ran in. "Ahh!" screamed the eldest McGinnis. "Mom! Get Matt and Oyuka out of here!" She did as instructed, with a worried glance at her son. Terry kicked at the thing, only to have his foot slide through shadow. "Dammit! How come you can grab me, but can't be touched?" It shrugged. "If you won't join me, I'll have to kill you." "Is that what you did to Oyuka? If she's dead, I swear..." "What will you do, Mortal?" laughed the thing. "Someone like you must have a lot of evil in him." He started to enter Terry's mouth. "Hey, there's no evil in here!" Terry coughed, spitting up shadow. It slowly regrouped, becoming huge. "The Mantle of the Bat comes with more than a schway suit," said Terry, chucking a Batarang at the shadow. It cut in two, falling. "I will find another psy- child. And I will return!" It shouted, disappearing. "Rock beats sissors, paper beats rock, Batarang beats ultimate evil being." He gasped, falling to the ground. "Terry!" Oyuka ran into the room. "Thank you! A million times arigatou!" She helped him up. "Where's Mom and Matt?" "They're safe. I just woke up and realized what had happened." He gave her a Look. "That thing used to be inside you?" She hung her head. "Hai. That's when I was Aku. But now I'm on your side." Oyuka gave him a hug. "Ow." "Gomensai. Terry, I tried to tell you what was going on. But the Evil, it wouldn't let me. If you proved you loved me, it would die." "Oh." "Terry?" "Hm?" "Do you love me?" "Yes, unfortunatley." "Why unfortunatley?" She demanded, glaring. Terry sighed. "At first, I just had my feelings for Dana, Max, and Melanie to worry and obsess over. Now I've got you, too. That, being Batman, and failing two classes at once is enough to drive a guy insane." "I see." She kissed him, long and hard. "Then I guess I can wait for you to decide. But don't worry, I'm not the jealous type." as they ran out to the other two McGinnis family members, Terry wondered just what the hell she meant.

"Really sorry about the wall, Mrs. McGinnis. I'll pay to have it fixed." "Oh, no need. I've been meaning to redecorate anyway." There was a knock on the door. Terry answered it. "Yes?" A short, slightly balding man was standing there. "I heard I could find Oyuka Makenari here." "Yea," she said, moving forward. "Didn't you work with my dad?"

Oyuka P.O.V. (I love POV changes, don't you?) I reconigzed the guy from "Take Your Kid To Work Day" last year. I hadn't been able to see what was going on, but I got to test the games one of my dad's friends had just installed. "Your father said to give you this," and he held forth a yellow bot, small and round, with a holo-projector and camera. "Pu," I said softly. "Eh?" said Terry. "I don't know what it is or how to turn it on, but the letter said you would." He tipped his hat and left. I shut the door and gazed at the tiny bot. "What the he....er....heck is a Pu?" asked Terry. "A Pu," I replied, "Is short for Haepu. Highly Advanced Emotional Processing Unit. My dad made her when I was six. It was my birthday present. He had to pack it up after 'they' deemed it 'unsafe'." "Why?" asked Terry. He was really starting to grind my nerves. "I don't know, but she was my best friend." "She?" I exploded. I had just been taken over by Evil, saved, and now It was lurking around Gotham, the perfect place to find evil to feed on. "Yes, she!" I snapped. "The bot was desinged with a girl's EPU!" "Let me get this straight. The bot was your best friend?" I sighed. "I'll have to show you." I flipped the top up and said, "Good Morning, Haepu." A face not too unlike mine flicked on the screen. "Hey, wassup? How long's it been now?" That familar voice was enough to bring tears to my eyes. I dropped my hands and let Pu float there. "Woah..." Terry was in awe. "I guess it's been long enough, you've replaced me with a man..." "Stuff it, Pu. I've got some stuff to explain. First, this is Terry McGinnis, Mrs. McGinnis, and Twip McGinnis." "Hey!" complained the Twip. "My name's Matt!" "Ah, I see." She sounded like Snap from Chalk Zone. (a/n:BTW, I don't own it, either.) I grabbed her and swung her around. "Hey, watch it! You're gonna make me toss my cookies!" I giggled. "I can't help it! I'm so glad to see you again!" "Me, too, but you don't see me swinging you around in the air." Terry stepped in. "One, you have no arms, Haepu. Two, Oyuka and I need to talk to someone about something....hint?" "Oh, right. Mrs. McGinnis, I really will get the wall fixed, I promise. C'mon, Pu." Pu settled herself under my arm and we went out to our bikes. (Yes, I had a bike. I bought it so Ter wouldn't have to drive me anymore.) I stuck Pu in the compartment and we made our way to Wayne Manor.

Hooble:Heh, heh, this chapter was just two big paragraphs......BTW, Haepu is kinda based on Weebo from Flubber. Ya know, that disney movie with Robin Willams (one of the funniest people in show business, in my opinion.) and the hyperactive green jello?
