Daisuke ran back to the mansion, sweat dripping from his brow. At least I'm not wearing black, he thought to himself as he continued pounding the dust to reach the spot. His mother had insisted that he wear black when he was going to do the thieving. Something that had to do with style.

Daisuke couldn't be bothered with style. all he wanted was to get the statuette and go home.

To the sweet sanity of his room...

'Ne, watch out,' Dark grinned.

All too late, Daisuke opened his eyes to his surroundings. The house was merrily disappearing in the distance.

Wait a minute, disappearing?!

He screeched to a stop, finally able to make out the words that had been shouted at him for the past few seconds.

'Daisuke! Over here! Where the heck are you going?!' his father thundered, waving madly.

Exhausted, he decided to walk over. Dark had been oddly silent in his head, perhaps he was...

'I'm just thinking on how to make myself sleep since I can't take part in such an exciting activity,' Dark sulked. 'Perhaps if you injected tranquilizers that would numb me... no it'll just kill your already numb brain...'

'Hey,' Daisuke objected weakly as he hurried over to his already angry dad.

'Daisuke. I have been trying to contact you for over an hour. If I find that your mother's handphone bills have risen by a mile, I will kill you,' he muttered in a quiet way that made Daisuke's hairs on the back of his neck stand.

'Ooh scary,' Dark sneered.

'Now get changed before your mother presses the panic button big enough for the entire state of Japan,' he directed to the car, where his mother waved to him enthusiastically, holding up a black top encouragingly.

'Oh goodness,' he sighed dejectedly as he went towards her.

'Did you know that I like Pocky?' Krad mused to Satoshi as the blue haired boy continued cycling towards his destination. Satoshi's pace had slowed down once he knew that he was reaching the mansion, through a rather inaccurate map purchased from a villager along the way out of the town.

'No,' Satoshi replied, still cycling. Krad expressed his amazement that his friend did not know what his favourites were.

'But you must know! Pocky is one of the most wonderful things that have ever been invented!' Krad replied earnestly. 'Did you bring any?'

'No.'

'Why? I must have Pocky. Pocky is wonderful.'

'No. we will NOT have Pocky.'

'But Pocky is good. When I am released-'

'You will NOT be released.'

'I will! Because!'

'Because what?'

'Because because!'

'Right.'

'If you don't get me Pocky, I won't help you on this project!'

Now this was a real threat. Satoshi sighed, his glasses glinting in the sunlight.

'How about we get you Pocky after the project?'

'Are you sure?'

'Pocky, as you said, is the most wonderful thing on earth. It won't be a loss to me if I don't get Pocky,' Satoshi mused.

'But-but- this is blackmail!' Krad stuttered.

'No it isn't. It's just negotiation.'

'I don't like negotiation.'

'Start liking it.'

Krad scrunched up his face in thought. 'But then, we get the chocolate Pocky okay?'

'Can you imagine Dark-san as a baby? He'd be so cuuuuuuuttee!' Risa squealed in the car. Riku rolled her eyes.

'Well... who said that Dark would want to steal this item?' Riku sulked.

'We're almost there Misses,' Grandfather announced. 'Do you mind if I eat a little of these lovely marshmallows? I have this inclination to do so.'

'Sure. I brought them so that they can be shared within us... what do you have planned for us today anyway?' Riku asked, passing him the packet.

'Oh you see, I thought that it would be quite alright with my family if I showed you lovely ladies around the place. We'll be spending the day at the mansion, exploring the place. Well,' here he gave a rather eerie chuckle. 'You'll be doing the exploring. I'll be... around.'

'Did the marshmallows DO something to him?' Risa murmured in awe.

'No no it's not the marshmallows. It's just the letter I got. It says something about having to come here today, love from Aunt Carmelle.'

'Isn't she like dead?'

'Apparently not, here's the letter.'

Riku took the letter. She read it. Then she read it again.

'What are you talking about... it's dated a couple of decades ago!'

'Oh. Really? Then we came here for nothing! Do you want to turn around?'

'What?!'

'Who what where?' Risa exclaimed.

'You are Risa Harada. You are going to your grandfather's grandaunt's house. And you're in our car,' Riku smirked. Risa gave her a disgusted look.

'I know that, I was just exclaiming.'

'Oh really. I thought you suffered from memory loss or something.'

'Why I ought to...'

'Girls! Do you want to turn around?' Grandfather Tsuba asked again, this time in a stricter tone.

'Err...' Riku turned to her sister, who was looking out of the window in sudden interest.

'No, we will go there,' Risa replied firmly, turning away from the window, smiling.

'May I know why?' grounded Riku, as their grandfather genially continued on the road.

Risa turned to her, smiling even wider, which made Riku fear for her sanity for a while.

'I just saw Hikari Satoshi cycling in the same direction as us. Find Hikari, find Dark.' she added in a calculating tone that it chilled Riku's blood.

Heka: Yea, that's like about it… evil me… yes yes…

Shigure: You're not very good as an author you know…

Heka: The channel that once showed Inuyasha no longer does… -Weep- so now they have… Hellsing! Alucard is so obviously Dracula. Check the reversal of his name.

Dark: It's not very nice to reveal stuff. People here might actually like the anime you know!

Heka: I'm such an evil person.

Krad: Like me!

Dark, Shigure: We guessed. Now review!
