Fuyu grinned at the two of them. Ganko was still trying to pull the lid open, though she knew that it was locked.
"How did you get here without getting lost? I mean... we were in circles for ages!" Kaoru asked, astonished that there was a way not to get lost.
Ganko scowled at his idiotic question while Fuyu smiled wider.
"I've been living in this house for years! Ever since I was old enough to take care of myself, I've been taking care of my master. He doesn't want you here, he wants her, and I can't let you in," the young girl said.
"I'm his trusted servant," she added as an after-thought, in the same sickeningly innocent voice.
"And I have to get rid of you."
"......and you have to take me on more dates. And expensive ones mind you! Not those cheap walks in the park types! And I want that bracelet I showed you. And I want it fast! And when are you going to propose! And make sure that the ring has to be at least 10 karats! And I want a nice, big house. No, a mansion! And I want you to get a job! And it has to have a very high wage! And...."
Recca was dazed. It was bad enough that he had to endure Yanagi's countless shoves, but to have to listen to her complaining, it was like having Ganko's toy fox all over again!
"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!!" Yanagi yelled.
"Yes!" he replied, exasperated.
"Are you being rude?!!"
Recca groaned, wondering what he had certainly done to deserve this.
Domon, who was trying very hard to fall back asleep, was getting agitated. He was tired, and he wanted to sleep! Was it too much to ask?
Unfortunately it seemed so, as he could still hear Yanagi's whines. He had been patient, listening to it for hours, well, maybe minutes, but it was all he could stand!
Gathering up his courage, or whatever that was left of it, he walked over to the door and opened it, only to get slapped right across his face.
Kaoru pulled Ganko with him as they started to run while Fuyu laughed at their silliness of trying to get away from her.
Kaoru had no idea where he was running, all that was imprinted in his head was to run away from the girl, and as far as he was concerned, he was doing it well. That was, till he found himself staring in to the girl's face.
This time, Kaoru found himself being pulled by Ganko, who was running in the opposite direction, back towards the lid. Only to scream when Fuyu appeared in front of her upside down.
Then, it was back to Kaoru to lead the way.
Tokiya awoke, startled. He did not recall falling asleep. That's when he noticed his surroundings. Completely blackness. A sense of foreboding filled him as a figure of grey smoke started to form.
Fuuko found herself in a vortex, filled with overwhelming darkness. And with Yukiko beside her. A healthy and alive Yukiko, mind you.
"Where are we?" she asked, only to be utterly terrified when strong large hands grabbed her from behind.
