When Kai woke up he was no longer in the forest. He looked beside him and saw Sora still fast asleep, when suddenly the door flung open, the next thing Kai saw was some pink hair before the pink thing pounced on him.

'KAAAAAIIII! You're not dead!" Mariah said while hugging him.

"No duhh, otherwise I wouldn't be breathing now!" Kai said while rolling his eyes. Mariah and Joyce laughed.

Kai

"Where exactly are we?" Kai said after he stepped out of the bed and had taken a look around the room they were in. Mariah sat down on a chair and motioned Kai to sit next to her and Joyce. "We're back home, in the orphanage." She said.

Next to do was trying to wake up Sora.

Joyce had tried everything!

Water..

Screaming..

Shaking.. but it was like the girl was in a coma!

Then a frustated Joyce brought her hand up and suddenly they heard a loud "SLAP!"

Next thing they saw was a red hand print appearing on Sora's cheek.

"Cookies?"

Was all the girl replied.

Suddenly joyce brought her lips to Sora's ear and whispered:

"I got those chocolate cookies you like so much"

Suddenly Sora's eyes popped open and the first thing she felt was a burning tingling feeling on her cheek.

"Ehh.. Does someone know what happend to my cheek?" With that question Kai gave Joyce a evil grin, Mariah began to giggle...and Joyce suddenly laughed..

A nervous laugh.

"Spill it, Joyce"

Sora said while giving her friend a I-know-you-did-something glare.

Silence, followed by muffled laughs were heard as the raven haired girl put on a pout. Joyce stepped forward and broke the awkward silence.

"Well it was like this! I was trying to wake you up and suddenly we heard a : POOF: sound, then suddenly the cookie monster came in this room and said, " Joyce took a deep breath and continued explaining 'what happend'.

"Your friend stole my cookies and has eaten the whole box! For that I'm gonna give her the slap of Hell," While Joyce was saying this Mariah and Kai's face were like this --;

"So then he slapped you."

Joyce said while having a goofy smile on her face .

Then the whole room was silent, for the second time.

"Well that makes sence..." Sora said while rubbing her cheeck.

Kai and mariah looked at eachoter and then burst out of laughing.

------+

"So what exactly happend yesterday?" Mariah asked.

After Kai explained the whole thing Mariah suddenly said: "So Sora you saw a bitbeast running at you?"

"Well yeah it was big! And it looked like a fox only this one had these red flaming eyes." Sora told them.

"Well..maybe..nah..that couldn't be." The pink haired girl exclaimed.

"What Mariah was trying to say," Kai suddenly says.

"Is that it could be your bitbeast you saw!" Joyce whispered with big eyes.

"No.. no.. that couldn't be!" Sora said while running to the table to pick up her blade.

When Sora picked up her blade she saw what she always wanted! At the center of her blade was a red bit chip displaying a black fox-like creature with allmost haunting glowing red eyes.

"Guys..."

She said with a shaky breathe.

"You're never gonna believe this.. but I have a bitbeast!" She said while jumping up and down

"Wel then.. Me and Galux challenge you for a match!" Mariah exclaimed while waiting for the anwser.

"Let's go then!" Sora said while pointing to the door.

------+

The group of friends run outside. But stop in their track when they see two black vans driving up the lane with screeching tires.

Two men stepped out of the first van. One of them had long grey hair, the other had short purple hair.

When the men saw the children standing there they start walking to them.

The man with the grey icky long hair started to speak when they stood infront of the gang.

"Well look who we got here. Kai ..what have you grown my dear." The man said.

"I can't talk with strangers mister." Kai replied while grimacing and backing off slowly.

"But Kai, I'm your grandfather, Voltaire" The man know as Volitaire spoke, inching his face closer to Kai's and grabbing his chin to take a closer look.

"So? Stay away from me... you got bad breath!"

With that Kai held on his nose. Volitaire's left eyebrow twitched. He grabbed Kai by his arms and trew him in the van.

"Now the girls. sigh"

------+

Boris could cry right now. His pants were on his heels and he is laying in a poison bush.

Sora and Joyce were doing a victory dance when Volitaire sneeks up behind them and holds them in his strong grip. "Oh no! The cookie monster is coming for me!" Sora yelled while kicking the "cookie monster".

"Sora... That is not the cookie monster!" Joyce said.

"Who is it then?" Sora turned her head to see ...

"THE ICKY HAIR MAN!"

Again Voitair twitches and trow them in the other van.

Now the only one left was Mariah. While backing away she suddenly bumped against the tree.

Mariah screamed in surprise and quickly Volitaire pulled a hand for her mouth. Unfortunatly for him her neko teeth sunk in his flesh.

"Aaahh!" Voltaire screamed while he waved his hand up and down but the girl was still biting in his hand.

So he walks to the van with the girl and trows her in it. He gestured Boris to get in the van where the girls where trown in and then takes a look at his hand again.

"Next time I let those morons of "sidekicks" do this, that's what they're paid for. Not sitting on their butt and snicker when seeing Boris' heart printed boxershorts."

With that the he got in the van and closed the door behind him.

"Drive."

------+

As kai looked and pounded on the back seeth window. He screamed for the last time the name that would be forever in his mind.

"MARIAAAH!"

As Mariah was looking trough the window she saw Kai pounding on the window.

With her lip trembling and tears streaming down her face the van rides away from her only love.

The only thing she could do was a goodbye wave...

But goodbye isn't forever ..right?
