REVIEW RESPONSES! WooT!

anim3angel173- Angel: Oh...(blushes) SATARI-CHAN AND RYUSHI-SAMA! (BIG hug) Thank-you sooo much! I really appreciate what you two did for me! (begins crying tears of joy) You both are too kind! You honestly didn't have to! You too Ruin-sama, thank-you! Me: Uhh, honey, why are you telling Ruin (muttering) damn bastard (out loud) thanks? Angel: Just for being my friend! Me: o.0 Sure Angel, whatever you say. Angel: Oh yes! Guess what? I got some hampsters! See? There's only two right now! (Holds up hampster cage) Right now, there's Satari and Ryushi. Oh no! Look, they're fighting. All other 8 of us: O.O Taki: They're not fighting, they're- Me: (Covers his mouth before he can finish) Uh, Ryushi! Get off Satari! (Taps furiously on the cage) She, uh, has a headache! Angel: Look! They've stopped! Everyone else: (lets out a huge sigh of relief) 2 months later... Angel: (comes out with four hampsters in her cage) Look everyone! Satari and Ryushi had babies! I named them Aion and Soari! (Looks kinda sullen at the cage) There was a Ruin too, but Satari ate him. Leira: (grabs a trashcan and throws up, while I'm laughing my ass off) Me: AHAHAHAHAHA! HOW COINCIDENTAL! Oh my god! I can't even fucking breathe! (Begins crying she's laughing so hard) Angel: (puts the cage back in her room) Satari and Ryushi are very happy to meet you Satari-chan and Ryushi-sama. Oh no, wait. Oh (blushes) Did that sound somewhat weird to you two. (Begins laughing to herself) Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful time training Ryushi-sama. I know I like to train when I'm fighting against Blade-san! Who is most definitely taller and faster than me, even though I lose most of the time, It still is fun! Blade: Yeah kiddo, you are a good sparring partner. (Pulls Angel into a cute noogie) Angel: (giggles) Yes, I suppose so! Me: And how is making Angel cry my fault! You know I would rather kill you so she doesn't cry anymore Ruin! Angel: What? Ruin-sama blamed you for my uncalled for outbursts? (Eyes turn pure black) Me: Shit. DUCK AND COVER! Everyone: (dives behind the couch and other random pieces of furniture) Angel: (draws her katana) You fucking bastard! Don't you DARE ever blame Nikki-chan for something I did! You are fucking beneath her and don't even deserve to talk to her! Me: Someone should stop her. Everyone else: (looks at eachother and then throws me over the couch) Me: OW! YOU GUYS! (Smacks Spike across the head with a pillow on the couch) Spike: OW! Me: (siiigh) Angel, hun. Angel: What the hell do you want? Me: Ahem, schnitzel. Angel: (eyes turn back to the normal light, light blue that looks like pure white from a distance) Oh, no! I did it again, didn't I? I am so sorry! (Begins crying) Taki: (behind the couch) There's a seven. Only...6 more to go to tie up the record. Spike: (whacks Taki across the head) Stop that! (He has a British accent) Angel: And, well, um yes. I will get it out before Ruin-sama returns, I do like him. Yes I do. (Turns beet red) But I know he could never like a fallen angel like me! (Starts crying) Taki: (mouthing) Eight... Angel: But oh, where have my manners gone! (Wipes the tears from her eyes) Oh, this is not a good first impression for Aion and Soari! I-I'm sorry! Hello Aion-sama and Soari-sama! (Smiles) It's very nice to meet you! (Bows) You must be very nice people to be friends with Satari-chan! And Ruin-sama, did I not politely ask for you to stop calling Ryushi-sama mean names? I-I am sorry, I just don't like it. And what's wrong with me wanting to please you? (Tears begin welling up) Is there anything wrong with that Nikki-chan? Me: No, of course not. Not at all! Angel: I-I am sorry! I-I'll try to be most disagreeable towards you as much as I can! (Begins crying) Me: Angel, I don't think that's what he meant. But w/e. I have to go now! Bye Bye! Angel: Yes, goodbye! Goodbye to you too Aion-sama and Soari-sama! (Bows) I look forward to meeting you!

blueangel-maggie1723- Me: I kinda figured it wasn't that, seeing as their wasn't a 'k' on the end. So I figured it wasn't that, or you were dyslexic. I have a Japanese dictionary. It's kewlie! Naoko: Whatever! (Begins trying to overfeed my fish) Me: NOO! NOT JIM BOB! (Slams the top of the tank closed) Leave him alone! (Growls) And I do believe that this chappie answered the blonde chick question for you. Creepy, ne? (Oh, one of my reviewers really liked the coffin idea)

inuwolf04- How was the trip? Anywho, what is a TAKS test anyway? All we have is an OGT and of course, the SAT and the ACT. I hate the OGT, it sucks, I'm only in 8th grade and they already have me preparing me for it. And if we don't pass this test (which we take in the 10th grade) we don't graduate. EVEN IF WE GET FRIGGEN STRAIGHT A'S FOR THE REST OF OUR NATURAL LIVES! That really sucks. And, you aren't lame, you're just enthusiastic about my story so much, you can't think of any other way to say update soon. That's how I look at it anyway! LOL.

Evil-chan- I still say my ffn name should be Evil-chan, but w/e. I know it would make you pissed, so...I'm changing it! Kidding Kidding, LOL. Which beach did you go to? It was good ol' Virginia Beach for me! It was fun! Especially at night! LOL

Spatial- -.- (silence 3...2...1...) WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WHAT I DID! YOU DID IT! NOT ME! IT WAS YOUR GOD DAMN IDEA YOU DOLT! ARGHNESS SPATIAL! Oh, wait, I typed it, so I guess it was my idea. -.- I really hate you. Damned reverse psychology.


In the music room/parlor...

Spatial was still shrieking because of the noise she heard.

"God woman! Shut up!" Sanouske yells, covering his ringing ears. Kenshin grabs Spatial's arm and leads her to the couch.

"Spatial-dono, everything is fine...it's alright...Spatial, stop..." Kenshin sits her down on the couch and slaps her.

O.O (Sanouske and Spatial)

"Oro? Sessha had to stop her screaming, that he did." Kenshin stands up from his kneeling position and brushes some dust off his pants, "Sessha must go find Nikki-dono, that he must."

With Kaoru and Batts...

"Hey Battousai."

"Yes Kaoru?"

"That scary feeling is returning. And I am really cold."

"It's alri.."

"Shh!" Kaoru cuts him off, "Did you-did you hear that?"

"Hear what? Kao, hun, don't do this to me." Battousai wraps his free arm around her protectively.

"It kinda sounded like a moan. Of pain or whatever."

"Kaoru, wha.."

"Shh! There it was again! Did you hear that?"

"No, Kaoru I didn't."

"It sounded like it was coming from this way." Kaoru points down a long darkened hallway, "C'mon! Let's go!"

"Kaoru!" Battousai sighs, before she tugs him down the hallway.

With Nikki and Maria...

"Sooo, where are we going exactly?" Nikki asks, shortly mounting a spiraling staircase after Maria.

"To Master and Madame's study, where else?"

"What's their names?" Maria stops suddenly and turns around and faces Nikki.

"I can't say. I'm supposed to protect them, and my orders were to bring Isabella to them as soon as I could. Thus, here you are, and thus, here I am. Ah! And here is the study, they are waiting. Have a wonderful time, just call if you need anything!"

"Maria! Wait..." Maria closes the doors leading into the study and locks them shut. Nikki sighs and looks around.

"Well, since it looks like I'll be waiting here for a while, I might as well look around a bit." The fire in the fireplace lights up spontaneously. O.O "Um, okay, I will not be scared. In fact, I absolutely refuse to be scared."

"Do you?" Nikki jumps and turns around.

"HARU! Why the hell are you here? And in 19th century officer's military dress."

"I am not Haru, you should know Isabella," the Haru-ish person walks up beside Nikki and pulls out a chair infront of his desk for her to sit down in. She gives him a nod of thanks and sits down. He then sits down in the desk across from her.

"Um, soooo, who are these other two chairs for?" Nikki asks, trying to strike up a conversation.

"They are for our other two guests." he replies in a deep monotone voice, "And here they are."

"What the hell!" Kaoru shrieks as she and Battousai come stumbling into the study.

"Hey!" Battousai yells, turning around just as the door was shut and locked.

"Dude, Nikki," Kaoru rushes up to hug her, "This was so creepy, there was this funky German woman who kept calling us Master and Madame and kept saying stuff about how Isabella was waiting for us in the study along with some dude named Ryu."

"And that would be me." the soldier guy stands up. Kaoru takes one look at him and begins screaming.

And screaming...

And screaming...

Yup, still screaming...

And scccrrreeeeaaaaammmminnnggg...

"SHUT UP KAORU! I WOULD STILL LIKE TO KEEP MY EARDRUMS IN TACT THANK-YOU!"

Kaoru stops. Nikki sighs and plops down in one of the chairs infront of the desk, stringing her legs over the arm of the chair.

"Isabella, is that really anyway to sit?" Ryu asks, sitting down again. Nikki bends her neck back to look at him.

"Yes, it is."

"I don't remember you being this way."

"Heh, funny, me neither."

"What I think he's trying to say, pathetic half-blood, is get your legs off the arm of the chair." Nikki lets out a squeak and runs up and jumps on Haru, wrapping her legs around his waist and hugging him, who was perched on the open windowsill.

"HARU! I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE SO GLAD TO HEAR YOU INSULT ME!"

"Watch it half-blood! You'll knock us both out of the window, and contrary to popular belief, vampires do not have wings!" Haru wraps his arms under her tush, for safety reasons people, and jumps out of the windowsill and into the study. He then shifts his arms to around her waist, takes one look at Ryu and glares.

"Who are you? What have you done to her? And why did you take my look?" he growls.

"I assure you, I have done nothing to Isabella. And as we have already covered, I am Ryu."

"That's nice, but this is not Isabella bastard, this is Nikki." Nikki looks up at him.

"Oh, Haru." she says with tears in her eyes. He glowers down at her.

"What?"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID MY NAME!" she slams her head on his shoulder and begins crying, causing him to stumble back a bit in shock. (Yes, she still is on him)

"Half-blood, do not get this shirt wet."

"I am so sorry Haru!" she only begins to cry harder.

"Isabella, stop this right now. You're being unfaithful to Shinata." Nikki looks up at Ryu and glares from behind her tears.

"I am NOT Isabella you bastard! I am Nikki and I am not married! Hell, who is Shinata anyway?"

"Delusional I guess."

"I AM NOT DELUSIONAL! I JUST WANT TO GO HOME! BACK TO WHERE THINGS ARE AS SANE AS THEY GET FOR A MAFIA HEIRESS WHO CAME BACK TO LIFE AFTER FIVE YEARS OF BEING DEAD! GAH! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT SPATIAL! I WILL EFFING KILL YOU WHEN I SEE YOU!"

"Madame Spatial is here as well?"

"Yes, and so is Kenshin!" Nikki buries her head in Haru's shoulder and lets out another sob, "I just wanna see Kenshin again. Please."

"Maria!" Ryu calls over his shoulder. The blonde German appears out of nowhere.

"Ja?"

"Bring Madame Spatial and Master Shinata here."

"Yessir!" Maria leaves as quickly as she came.

"No! Not Shinata, Kenshin! Who the fuck is Shinata anyway!"

"Shinata would be my husband, Nikki-kun."

"Oh, sorry Isabella."

"DUDE! WTF! LEMME GO!" Maria drops a screaming Spatial off in the study along with a calm Kenshin, following both of them.

"Half-blood, the rurouni is here." Haru mutters, completely unwillingly. Nikki's head perks up.

"Really?" Haru wipes some tears from her eyes with a free hand.

"Yeah," he says, smiling a little, "Really."

"Oh my god."

"(sigh) What now half-blood."

"You-You smiled...AND AT ME!" she slams her head down again and begins crying tears of joy again.

"Geez, do you get more pathetic."

"Sessha will take it from here, that he will." Kenshin says angrily walking up to Haru and motioning Haru to hand Nikki over.

"Hold on a second Rurouni, she's the one who chose to cry on me, not you."

"Because Sessha wasn't here at the time, that he wasn't."

"Oh, now you two are fighting over me!" Nikki climbs down from Haru and begins using Spatial for her tissue now.

(-.-) (Spatial)

o.0 (Kenshin and Haru)

'HER?' they both shout in their heads, 'WHY DOES SHE CRY ON HER! I AM SO BETTER!'

"AW! C'mere ya'll! GROUP HUG!" Nikki gathers everyone around her and forces them to have a group hug because she threatened to use the bat of doom/random bishie knocking out.

"Okay, I'm done."

"Someone's on PMS." Spatial mutters leaning over to Kaoru.

"Yah." Kaoru agrees.

"Thank-you Isabella."

"Nikki."

"Whichever. I only have one thing to give to you." Ryu holds up a silver locket on a silver chain that was encrusted with sapphires and diamonds on the front of it.

"Oh! That is so pretty!"

"It is for you." he walks behind her and puts it on Nikki.

"What? Oh, um, thanks, I guess. How'd you know that lockets were my favorite piece of jewelry?" Ryu smirks.

"I didn't."

"Oh."

"You're supposed to open it." Nikki furrows her brow.

"What?"

"You all are supposed to find identical lockets to this, one for her (nods at Kaoru) and one for her (nods at Spatial). Then you're supposed to open them."

"Okay, this is weird." Nikki reaches up behind her neck to undo the locket, "What the?" she begins tugging at the delicate chain, "This thing won't come off!" she yells.

"It cannot."

"WHAT!"

"Watch." Ryu tugs on the delicate chain so hard that he causes Nikki to fall down flat on her face.

"The chain is unbreakable and the clasp is permanently sealed until you open the locket."

"Okay then." Nikki tries to open up the locket, but it won't budge, "Dammit." she curses.

"I told you, you have to find the other two."

"Why?"

"...I don't know." Everyone anime falls. "That is all I can say. I have to go now." Ryu fades away just as sunlight spilled into the room. Everyone got a good look at the picture above the fireplace. It was a portrait of Maria and Ryu.

"Oh lookie, nameplate. Let's look." Nikki climbs up on a chair to get a better look at the little gold plate beneath the portrait, "It says, Ryu Misawa and Maria Magdalana Wulken-Misawa, beloved friends, guardians, and confidantes to Isabella and Shinata Himura and their friends. Caught in crossfire and killed during the Meiji Restoration. No known descendants at this time. Ryu- b. 1847 d. 1868 Maria: b. 1848 d.186-oh shit, died 1868." Kenshin had to run up and catch Nikki so she wouldn't fall over the back of the chair in shock. Spatial stood there, screaming.

And screaming...

And screaming...

Yes, still screaming...

And scrrrrreeeeeaaaammmmminnnngggg...

"ENOUGH ALREADY!" everyone yells.

"C'mon." Battousai says, grabbing Kaoru, "We gotta go, apparently this place is a museum because I can hear a tour coming." Everyone goes out the way Haru came and ran like hell out of that place.


Me: HAPPY CHRISMAHANNAKWANZAAKAH TO YOU! Hehehehe, R and R please!
