The next day, Naoko could be found with one arm wrapped around Apricots' neck and the other arm with an ice cream tub. Link on the other hand, is sitting in the corner mumbling about how the rules for the competition were rigged so that Apricots would win.

"ITS BRILLIANT!" Sakura shouted from her tanning on the roof. "We'll catch Sora now!"

She quickly got up and ran down the stairs to Naoko and grabbed her collar dragging her back to their room.

"Naoko! We're going to go catch Sora now," Sakura said quickly.

"Wha...?" Naoko said through a mouth full of ice cream.

Sakura sighed and took the ice cream tub away from Naoko.

"We're going into Kingdom Hearts. I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea on how to catch Sora," Sakura explained.

Many of the bishies that had followed Sakura as she dragged Naoko back to the room, now had their ears pressed against the door trying to find out what poor soul was going to be caught next.

~* A few minutes pass *~

Naoko's eyes were wide. "It's... it's..." she began.

"Brilliant," Sakura finished.

"Well, except for the fact that if the rubber chicken isn't in the right place at 9:00, and if you don't give me ice cream you're going to be decapitated...." Naoko said, eying the ice cream that Sakura still held. "And for the fact that if we don't catch Riku, which is IMPOSSIBLE, we're in deep banana sundaes."

"Alright! You can have your ice cream!" Sakura yelled and shoved the tub into Naoko's face. Naoko started eating as soon as her face touched the tub.

Sakura opened the door and the few bishies who had not been bright enough to run away fell on the floor. "OUT OF MY WAY!" she roared. "We have a Riku to catch."

"Riku?!? Who said Riku?" Natsumi popped out of nowhere.

"We're going to catch Riku so we can catch Sora." Sakura replied, ignoring Naoko's interruptions about how the two would have to combat the Heartless.

"................................... Did I give you permission to catch Riku?" Natsumi asked.

"No.." Sakura said.

"Did I give you permission to catch Sora?" Natsumi asked.

"No..........."

"Good!! Now, we need someone interesting to plot with Knives, so, go catch Riku!" Natsumi bounced off after Hikaru, who was dragging Link by his collar to teach him new tricks.

Sakura stared at Natsumi's retreating figure. "Naoko... how come we have to listen to the project coordinator?"

"Wha?" Naoko replied once again with a spoon in her mouth.

"Aw, never mind. Lets go," Sakura sighed as they headed off toward the transport room.

Sakura played with a bunch of little buttons on the computer again while searching for Riku, who had mysteriously disappeared from all radars in the game.

"Hm..." Sakura mumbled. "Where would I be if I were Riku.." she said thoughtfully.

"On top of a giant building?" Naoko suggested.

Sakura only glared at her ice-cream-addicted friend. While Sakura was still searching, Naoko headed off to find another tub of ice cream.

"DARN IT RIKU!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!" Sakura shouted after 20 minutes of searching for the MIA Riku.

By now, most of the bishies that were already captured where standing in the doorway watching as Sakura was getting angry.

Suddenly, Naoko walked back in, with even more ice cream this time. "Why don't you try on top of a building?" she repeated.

Sakura glared at her. "Fine!" She snapped. She pushed some random buttons, looking on all the rooftops of the world, and some others.

"That looks like him," Naoko said and pointed to a lone figure on top of a roof in one of the screens.

"That's a...... OH MY GOD! It's Riku! Wow!" Sakura said. She pressed some more buttons. "Where is he......."

"It looks like he is on top of the bishie preserve..." Naoko said thoughtfully. "But, that's silly."

"Naoko... I think you're right again..." Sakura said as she examined the building in the screen.

"Of course I am." Naoko said. "LETS CATCH RIKU-POOO!!"

Sakura sweat dropped. "O.....ok."

Sakura followed Naoko as she slowly made her way to the roof.

"Um... why don't we walk a little faster?" Sakura asked.

"We have to make sure that Riku-pooo doesn't suspect us. That way, we can sneak up behind him and catch him," Naoko explained.

"I see..." Sakura mumbled.

The two slowly climbed the stairs that not and hour ago, Sakura had run down with her brilliant plan to capture Sora. Since they were going so slow, Sakura decided to count the number of stairs.

"1................................................2......................... .....................3............."

Make sure you tell me how many there are Sakura-chan," Naoko said happily as she stuck another spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

"................45....................................46................... .............47.................."

"Ho hum... hummm.... humpty dumpty sat on a wall...." Naoko sang quietly.

When they finally made it to the top of the stairs Sakura slid down the wall. "230. Oi.... we need an elevator..."

Naoko opened the door quietly and Sakura scrambled to get back on her feet to follow. As the entered the roof, Riku was sitting in the tanning chair with sunglasses on.

Both girls sweatdropped. "Do you have your gear?" Naoko whispered to Sakura.

Sakura smiled and pulled out a butterfly net, mallet, and stun gun.

Naoko grinned back and took the net. "I have a plan...." she whispered to Sakura and started talking. Riku seemed not to notice them.

"DOHODOHODOHO!!" Naoko yelled and jumped out from the door with her net. Sakura was nowhere to be seen. "I GOT YOU!!!" she slapped it down over him.

Riku jumped up. "What?!? What do you want?"

"I want you to take me to Sora." Naoko said.

Riku snorted. "It's all about, Sora, isn't it?" he said. "First, he leaves me behind, then he lets me get taken by the Heartless." (A/N we were just a LIITLE pissed off at that......) "Why doesn't he just take Kairi away too?"

"Well, they're in love..." Naoko said.

Riku glared at her. "Thanks for telling me. Now I'll be all alone again."

"You have me!!" Naoko said and glomped him. Suddenly, Sakura jumped out from behind the door and shot at him.

Unfortunately, Riku wasn't really cool for nothing. He pushed Naoko off, dodged out of the way, pushed Naoko into the beam of the gun, and jumped off the building.

Naoko gave a yell and fell to the ground, twitching. Sakura ran up. "I'M SO SORRY!! she cried.

Naoko simply drooled a bit and twitched.

The other bishies in the preserve who had followed the two captors up ran to them.

Sakura looked around and the bishies in the doorway and spotted Q-Bert. She quickly ran over and grabbed his collar and took a running leap off the roof.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Q-Bert screamed.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! " Sakura screamed as she tried to keep her skirt down as the fell from the roof.

"SAKURA!!!!! THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" Q-Bert shouted.

"YOU THINK I DON'T REALIZE THAT NOW!?" Sakura shouted back.

Sakura looked down at the rapidly approaching ground, suddenly, it started raining frogs.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!" Sakura shouted up at Q-Bert.

Q-Bert looked down at his shirt that seemed to suddenly have a giant frog on that read "The Lord of the Frogs." He sweatdropped.

Sakura looked down once more and then looked to see what gear she had. She noticed a little cherry blossom shaped latch on her belt. "What's this do?" she asked as she pushed the button and a large grappling hook came flying out and wrapped itself around a poll. Sakura's eyes widened as she started to swing towards the buildings window. Q-Bert quickly grabbed her hand as they both crashed through the window into a press conference.

The speaker, who was standing by a little white board, stopped talking abruptly.

"Uh................." Sakura said, at a loss.

"We're terribly sorry!" Q-Bert burst out. "You see, we are filming a movie called Lord of the Frogs, which is kind of like a cross between the Birds and Mulan, and well, your building got in the way, and we crashed in!! We're sorry again!" He grabbed her waist and jumped out the window again. This time, they weren't so far from the ground, so they landed safely.

"That was close..." Sakura said. "Where did you get that idea?"

"Uh......." Q-Bert sweatdropped. "I kinda wanted to write a story like that."

"I see........" Sakura sweatdropped too. "Well, I wonder which way Riku went..."

Suddenly, a voice cried, "I can't believe you forgot me!!!" Stupid, never to be left behind, came up. It was floating in the air using a mini rocket launcher. "I'm hurt!!"

"Hello, Stupid..." Sakura said unhappily.

"HELLO TO YOU TOO!" Stupid said cheerfully.

Q-Bert looked around. "People are starting to stare," he muttered. He grabbed Stupid and headed off for a nearby alleyway.

Back with Naoko.

Vash poked her. "Are you alright?" he asked her.

Naoko simply drooled a bit more.

Vash poked her again. "Uh... could we get a stretcher here?" he asked.

A bishie disappeared and reappeared with a stretcher. "I'm not sure what good this will do... I mean... we don't have a doctor..." the bishie said quietly.

"We'll worry about that later," Vash replied.

He moved Naoko onto the stretcher and two other bishie each picked up one of the ends. As they made their way down the stairs Hikaru came running up.

"IS IT TRUE!!! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO CATCH RIKU?!?!?" she shouted at the unconscious Naoko.

Naoko drooled some more.

"FINE! I see how it is! Don't answer my question," Hikaru huffed and ran away.

The bishies just stared at her retreating figure.

"Well... let's keep moving," Vash instructed.

When they made it to the hospital wing they laid Naoko out on one of the beds.

"Does anyone know what to do?" a bishie asked.

Just then Apricots walked by the open door.

"What in blue blazes happened here?!?" he shouted as he noticed Naoko unconscious on the bed.

"There was a little accident an Sakura accidentally shot Naoko with a stun gun," Vash explained.

Apricots stared in awe. "Um.... try shocking her again. It might wake her up."

"But, are you sure?" Vash asked anxiously.

"Of course I'm sure! I have a PhD in medicine!" Apricots said. He walked over to a drawer and rummaged around. "Yes..." he muttered. "These look like the right things." He pulled out some shocky-things (A/N we don't know what they are called!) and plugged them in.

"What about hooking her up to some machines?" Vash asked.

"Eh...? oh, we don't need them." Apricots said and warmed the shock-things up. "Excellent..." he said, and shocked Naoko.

Naoko's body jerked, her eyes shot open, she screamed "IM GOING TO KILL YOU THIS TIME SAKURA!!" and fell unconscious again.

Everyone stared at the unconscious bishie captor, then at Apricots.

"Um... did I mention it was a PhD in PLANT medicine?" he asked meekly.

Syaoran, who had just joined the fray, got pissed. "WHO GETS A PhD IN *PLANT* MEDICINE!?" he yelled, trying too look like he didn't care about Naoko. In fact, all bishies in the preserve had gotten fond of their captors, but that's another story!

"erm...." Apricots said.

Vash started to cry. "Naoko!?" he sobbed. "Will I ever see your eyes again?!?"

"Hm......... She's stopped drooling!!" Mooie announced.

"So she is........" Apricots said thoughtfully. "Well then, that means she's getting better!!"

"Unless the filthy human is dead," Knives stated.

Everyone sweatdropped.

Back with Sakura, Q-Bert, and Stupid................

"Well, what do you have to tell us?" Sakura demanded.

"I can help you track Riku!" Stupid said.

"Is this thing actually useful?" Q-Bert asked suspiciously.

Sakura sweatdropped. "Well... it does come in handy sometimes..."

"SOMETIMES?!?!? I've always helped you..." Stupid whined.

"Ah.... sorry..." Sakura sweatdropped again. 'must delete AI, must delete AI...'

Q-Bert looked from Sakura to Stupid to Sakura to Stupid. "Shouldn't we be going now?"

"Ah yes! Off we go!" Sakura said and shoved Stupid into her pocket.

Sakura looked up and down the street for any signs of Riku. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of his hair blowing in the wind from behind a corner.

"Excellent...." she said.

She slowly made her way to the corner with Q-Bert following closely at her heals.

'Here I am to get you my precious bishie...' Sakura thought.

"WE'RE OFF TO CATCH A BISHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, THE MOST WONDERFUL BISHIE OF THEM ALL!!!!" Stupid sang out.

Riku, having very good hearing, took off running. Sakura pulled Stupid out of her pocket and threw in on the ground.

"STUPID, YOU'RE STUPID!" She yelled.

"I know I'm Stupid!" Stupid replied, in a reproaching tone. "That IS my name you know. You were there when the all-mighty Naoko christened me! Remember?"

Sakura sweatdropped. "That's not what I meant..." she said.

"Hey, What's that?" Q-Bert asked, pointing to a vortex that was unobtrusively existing in the middle of the road.

"Um..." Sakura said as a car whizzed through and didn't come out the other side.

"That's a vortex to bishie land..." Stupid informed them. "If you hurry, you might make it though before it closes!!" Stupid cried. Sakura and Q- Bert ran towards it. When they were about 20 feet away, three bishies popped out, preceded by none other than..... Kenshin.

"Oh! So this is where it leads!" Joey said. He stepped out of the portal, looking around.

"Hm... We seem to be in another world, that we are," Kenshin said.

"Oh... I think were in the...... "Human" world...." Duo said.

"You know what that means, you do," Kenshin said.

"Bishie captors." Duo stated.

"Maybe if we just jump back in the portal, they won't have time to report us..." Joey said.

Back with Naoko:

"Hm... that didn't seem to work..." Apricots stated as he pulled off a pair of rubber gloves. He was decked out in a full doctors uniform and Syaoran was dressed as a female nurse.

"Is there a real reason as to why I have to dress like this!?" Syaoran shouted and pulled the little hat off.

Apricots snickered. "I just wanted to see if you'd put it on!" he said and broke out in a fit of laughter.

Syaoran glared at Apricots and stormed out of the room to go change.

"Um... Apricots... Naoko is starting to twitch again..." a random bishie said.

Apricots suddenly stopped laughing and became very serious. "Charge to 400!" he called out as he grabbed the shocker things.

"But doctor!" another bishie cried in horror.

"Just do it!" Apricots shouted as a Nike commercial began to play.

A few minutes later.................

"That wasn't pretty....." Vash said.

"Yeah, but it needed to be done." Apricots said. He threw an empty pie box away. "I was starving."

Vash looked at the table. "Hey!? Where's Naoko?" he asked.

The said Bishie Captor had disappeared.

"Erm..........." Apricots said. He turned to a random bishie. "Did you see where she went?"

The bishie pointed at the doorway. Naoko was floating in it, with her head lying, slack, on her shoulder. She was deathly pale. Her body floated down the hallway, and right up to a fan girl eating some ice cream. All bishies who had been in the room followed her. "ice cream....................." she whispered. "Need...... ice cream.........."

The girl whimpered and shrank against the wall.

"Go on!" Apricots said and Vash advanced toward the girl.

The girl whimpered, then held the ice cream out to the floating specter like Naoko.

"THANKS!" Naoko said and popped out behind a random corner that usually isn't there, but is for right now.

Everyone except Naoko looked from her, who looked very healthy and, well, not pale, and the floating Naoko.

Naoko took the ice cream. "YUMMAY IN MY TUMMAY!" she said and ate it. She then turned to the bishies and the girls. "Hey! What's the matter?" she asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost!"

Vash pointed at the floating figure.

"Oh yeah!" she beamed. "fooled you guys, didn't I??" She started to laugh hysterically. "Wasn't that FUNNY guys?" she took a little remote control out of her pocket, pointed it at the floating Naoko, and clicked the button. The floating Naoko disappeared. "New holographic! perfect for catching bishies!!" she began to elbow Apricots. "That was funny, eh?"

Apricots stared at her and made her swoon

"No... fair..." Naoko said dreamily as she fell over.

Back with Sakura and Q-Bert:

Sakura stared wide-eyed at the three bishies. "oh... my... GOD!!!" she shouted and ran over the Kenshin.

She jumped on his back and threw a net over his head. "GOT YOU!" she cried.

"Oro...?" Kenshin mumbled as he fell over from the sudden attack.

"I," Sakura said pointing to herself, "just caught you," she said pointing to Kenshin. Joey and Duo took off running.

"HEY!" Sakura called after them absentmindedly releasing Kenshin from her grasp and he ran off following the two other bishies. "Oi....."

"Maybe it's a sign," Q-Bert suggested.

"Eh?" Sakura asked as she turned to face him.

"Maybe you weren't supposed to catch them today," Q-Bert finished.

"And how would you know?" Sakura asked. Q-Bert shrugged.

"EXCUSE ME!!!" Stupid shouted. "Aren't we on a mission to catch Riku anyway. My readings say that his is directly above us traveling at 10 mph." Sakura and Q-Bert looked up and saw Riku streaming through the air on a small jet packed backpack.
