Daisuke bounded down the stairs only to bump into Towa-chan, their resident maid. Towa-chan smiled at him and hustled him to the front door eagerly, ignorant of his protesting cries.

'Ehh? Ehh? Towa-chan! Stop!' Daisuke gasped.

Towa-chan smiled at him again. This time it wasn't so reassuring. In fact, it reminded Daisuke of a grinning ghost just before she killed her victim.

'Ne... when did she become so scary... ?' Dark muttered, sweatdropping.

'Don't look at me...'

By the time Daisuke recovered sufficiently from his slight freaking out of Towa-chan's creepy smile, he was already bound in the backseat of the car by a safety belt as his father, Niwa Kosuke, waved at him genially from the driver's seat.

'Ne... I thought dad didn't know how to drive?' Daisuke whimpered, alarm bells ringing in his head.

Dark, in particularly, was clanging the loudest frantically.

Emiko popped her head in as she got into the car. 'He's just got his license! I don't know, the tester seemed over-eager to give Kosuke-kun his license. Said something about not wanting to test him ever again... but I've seen Kosuke driving, he's quite good!'

Daisuke just whimpered again as his grandfather got onto the seat beside the driver's seat and Towa-chan squeezed in next to him.

'This is so not happening...' he thought to Dark, who was already crossing himself in anxiety.

Satoshi sat on one of the window seats on the bus. He didn't want to be driven there. This was a secret mission.

'Ooooooohhh secret mission!! Tell me tell me tell me!!' Krad begged, his eyes large and sparkly.

Satoshi narrowed his eyes. 'You can just read my mind, can't you,' he muttered expressionlessly.

'Oh! Yeah! Hey!' Krad brightened, and he squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to read Satoshi's mind.

Satoshi looked out the window and got this unexplainable urge to throw himself out and just DIE right there and then; as Krad relished in Satoshi's evil mindedness.

---

'Dark-san? You still there?' Daisuke murmured in his head, his eyes shut against the extremely frightening scene opening before his eyes.

'Yes. Sadly. Unfortunately.'

'Have you ever seen them like this?'

'No, I haven't. Why would I? I was in you only when you were 14! And how old are you right now? Oh! 14!' Dark muttered.

'Sorry... just worried I guess,' Daisuke squeaked.

'Yeah, I can see why...'

'Hey, Daisuke!' Emiko's squeal broke his chain of thoughts. 'Look over there! That nice man's waving hi to your daddy!'

Daisuke turned to see a furious bus driver gesturing very violently in his father's direction as his father swerved in aimlessly into his lane and trundled on. Kosuke smiled and waved enthusiastically back at the man as Towa-chan blew him a kiss.

'Oh. My. Goodness.' Daisuke whimpered as he sank down lower in his seat.

---

Satoshi's thoughts were broken as the bus he was sitting on swerved wildly. He then heard a chorus of extremely foul words emerging from the driver's mouth as he cursed about something along the lines of 'Stupid driver!'

Getting up to satisfy his and Krad's curiosity, he peeped over the driver's shoulder.

'What's wrong mister?'

'Them stupid drivers nowadays!' the driver spat, pointing to a vehicle in front of the bus, driving rather aimlessly in Satoshi's opinion.

'Aimlessly in a way it'd be dangerous,' cackled Krad.

'Yes.' Satoshi muttered. The driver looked at him.

'Huh?'

'Oh nothing...' he stopped. He had just recognised someone on the bumbling vehicle. The red hair. It was so obvious. Niwa-kun was on the car... and definitely not enjoying it.

heka: I loved this bit. It was very amusing. :D

Dark-san: You just gave ME the ride of my LIFE!!!

Heka: Yes... so?

Dark-san: Do you know how TERRIFYING IT WAS?!?! Where's the REAL Kosuke anyway? I know that Kosuke can drive waaaaaaaaay better than what that... thing did!

Heka: You know I honestly cannot remember whether Kosuke can drive or not. But! Just to make it even more fun for everyone else, I made it so he can't! Ain't I nice?

Krad-san: So, now that she's revealed her secret-

Heka: Hey!

Krad-san: Shut up. Now that she's done it, you can start reviewing, people. Man, I feel like that fellow from America's Funniest's Home Videos.

Heka: How do yoooouu know about AFHV?

Krad-san: Errr.... Trade secret.

Heka: Oh. Heeeey waitaminite! There's no such thing as Trade Secret! Especially in YOUR trade...

Dark-san: Run. Now.

Krad-san: Aye, aye Cap'n.
