A/N: Hello fellow fan fic peeps! I'm in a really good mood right now so I decided to go ahead and update even though I wasn't planing to for a few more days. Anywho, I said I'd try and keep the spoilers out, but it didn't work out quite as well as I'd hoped. So I would say if you haven't read the book with Leeche in it then I wouldn't read too much more. I'm not overly spoiling it, but she does become a semi main character. I think it's in book three but it might be four. How do you know if you've read the book with Leeche in it? You know who Leeche is. There is also a MAJOR SPLOILER from the last two books. Other than that, ON WITH THE FIC!!!!!!!!

Chapter 3: Complications Of The Bubble Kind

"Oh," Ken said, "I feel dumb."
Aya glared at the soccer player and then looked over to where the teenager sat snuggling with the stuffed toy. "So, you name is Raenef. Do you remember who any of these people are?" the red head asked the small blonde. The teen thought for a moment before hopping off the bench he was sitting on, and over to where Aya was standing. Snatching the photo album away from the startled assassin he bounded back to the park bench. Manx and the Wiess gathered around him to see how much he remembered. Quietly he flipped open the book. The first slot did have a picture, but rather a folded letter, which he read out loud.

"Master Raenef,
If you are reading this, then you are about to look through this album. If Lady Leeche is with you I would like to congratulate you both on the young one. I regret the, as of yet, I have no had a chance to place her highness' portrait in here. So I ask that you please have patience with me. Also I have added a new feature to this album. If you wish to speak with someone in one of the pictures just say 'Speak." You will be able to here them and they you. I'll teach you the incantation when I return from the meeting.
On the other hand sire, if you have misplaced yourself again, and once again have amnesia, simply look at the back of each portrait. It will tell you who each person is, their title, and whether or not it is safe for you to approach them. Remember that this is one of my minions, and will serve you just as I would. Anything you need to know will be on the back of the pictures.
Lastly, if the reader of the letter is someone who has kidnapped/ summoned/ abducted/ banished my Lord, know that you will deal with me, Eclipse, Demon of the Third Order and well known for my actions during the Hangma Wars. I suggest that you return my master instantly. Unless you wish to restart the war…

Eclipse
Demon of the 3rd Order
Minion to Lord Raenef

P.S. May I wish you a happy 43rd birthday my lord. I shall bring my tribute in honor of the occasion upon my return."

The group looked at each other the collectively looked down at Raenef. "There's no way he's 43." Yoji said.
Omi thought for a moment. "Well, it's addressed to 'Master Raenef,' not 'Lord Raenef V.' So, maybe it's for his dad." He suggested.
"No, my dad died before I was born." Raenef said, shooting down his theory. "They were trying to eliminate the name Raenef. That's why I was brought back before I was ready. Why I grew up on the streets. It's why I don't go visit the other demon Lords, Eclipse is afraid he'll come back, and Eclipse doesn't like him."
"Who is he?" Ken asked.
Raenef smiled. "One he is me. The other he is the former me. And the last he is Lord Krayon. Eclipse hates him, but I like it when he comes over because he always brings Euritis with him."
"Did anyone understand a word that kid just said?" Yoji asked.
"It's s riddle, you idiot!" Ken said, hitting the tall blonde on the back of the head. "And it's actually pretty simple."
"You know the answer?" Manx asked him.
The soccer player stared for a moment. "Okay, I'll explain it, but remember, the answer is a harder riddle. There's three people Eclipse doesn't like. Right?" They all nodded. "The first one is the first part of the riddle, 'one he is me.' Basically it's the speaker or in our case Raenef."
"But that doesn't make any sense!" Yoji whined.
"Of course not! I told you it was a harder riddle!" The brunette growled back. "Anyway. The second part of the riddle is the second person. 'The other he is the former me.'" He turned to the bubbly blonde. "You're Raenef V, right?
"Yup!!" he said smiling and nodding vigorously.
"Then the former you would be Raenef IV, presumably your father."
"WHAT?!" Omi yelped.
"As I was saying," the second youngest assassin growled, 'the third part of the riddle is really easy. It's this Krayon person."
"Fine." Abassynian hissed in a dangerous whisper. "Now explain how his dead father is going to visit him."
"That would be the big riddle?" Ken said, frowning in concentration. "Hey, what did that say right before we killed him?"
"That he was summoning a demon to kill us." Yoji answered.
The brunette athlete looked over at the blonde who was happily blowing bubbles. "No way…" Ken whispered, glancing at the letter sticking out of the photo album. Then his head back over to small blonde as his hand flew to his pocket. "Hey!" he yelped. "How did you get my bubbles?"
The tiny blonde bubble thief eeped. "I-I-I'm sorr…HOW DARE YOU ADMONISH ME, VERMIN!?!?"
"They all stared at the adorable teen. Ken sighed. "Fine, just make sure you give them back when you're done playing with them."
"Alright!" Raenef giggled brightly.
"What ere you about to say?" Manx asked him, trying to get him to focus on the problem at hand.
Ken struggled for a moment trying to wrap his mind around the elusive thought. "I don't remember." He answered her finally.
"Sheesh Ken!" Yoji huffed. "Are you sure you're not the one with amnesia?"
"Shut up Yoji! I'd like to see you try and figure this stuff out!"
"I could probably do a better job than you anyway."
"Be quiet you two." The red haired assassin growled.
"But Ken started it!"
"Did not you stupid player!"
"Did so!"
"I said be quiet!" Aya snarled.
"Um, guys?" Omi said, biting his lip.
"What?!?" they all yelled in unison, turning to look at the smallest member of their group. Omi stood with his back to them, one finger pointed at the bubble-blowing blonde.
The blonde, oblivious to his audience, struggled to blow a single perfect bubble. "So what?" Yoji asked, rolling his eyes.
"Look!" Omi insisted. Obediently they watched as the large bubble started to drift away from the stray teen.
"Fortify!" the teen yelled in a commanding voice used to instant obedience. When nothing happened to the blue eyed blonde they turned back to their own small blonde.
"And?"
"Look at the bubble!" said Omi, staring wide-eyed at it. Once more they turned to watch the large soap bubble.
"I don't see…" Yoji started angrily, but stopped when the bubble began to glow softly."…what in Hell?" the emerald eyed player whispered.
"Not any more ." Raenef said, turning to them. "I'm on earth now." Behind him the glowing bubble floated gently to the ground. He turned and picked up the bubble, blocking it from view for a moment.
Suddenly Yoji felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. "Ow! Ken! What the hell did you do that for?"
Ken raised his hand and slapped the back of Yoji's head again. "You shouldn't curse in front of children!"
Raenef turned around to look at the arguing assassins. In his hands he held the bubble encased in a flawless transparent amethyst sphere. Smiling he walked over to Aya. "Here," he said, "I know you'll have to get rid of most of them, but I thought you might like to keep this one. I made it just for you! It matches your eyes. Did you know Eclipse has eyes like yours?" Then he bounced back to the bench where he had left the bottle of bubbles.
The assassins all stared at each other for a moment. "Most of them?" Ken finally asked hesitantly. Omi bit his lip again and pointed over to the fountain. This time they didn't hesitate to look were the small assassin pointed.
Atop each spout were four or five brightly colored marble-sized spheres. When the water would spray the spheres would fly up and then float slowly back down.
"Oh…my…god…" Ken and Yoji said simultaneously.
"How long has he been doing this?" Aya asked dangerously.
"I'm not sure." Omi answered glancing down at his watch for the first time since they had finished their mission. "Oh, man! It's practically 6:30! We've got to get out of here before someone sees us!"
What? But we still don't know what the hell we're supposed to do with the kid!" Yoji huffed.
"Take him with you." Manx said. "I'll take his things since they're bugged. With Kritiker's connections we can spread them around the world. Whoever has him bugged will be so busy chasing rabbits they won't be able to find the goose that lays the golden egg." She moved over to the spitting fountain and picked up one of the tiny marble-like bubble. "I'm going to take a few of these with me to have them analyzed. I'll see you boys tonight with the results.

A/N: Well, I hope you liked it! Any guesses what the results from Manx's tests are going to be? Heheh. Anyway, PPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE review!
