"Who are you?" Lyra demanded.

"What does it matter to you?" the one that talked smiled. The other one's expression didn't change.

The strange man smiled. He produced a book from his skirt pocket.

"You're a book owner?" Hyde said.

"Yes. Yes I am."

"Then who are you?"

"I'm Toshiya and this is Mana-sama."

"Why doesn't she smile? She's beautiful, she should smile" Citorn asked.

"I'm not a she. I don't have any reason for facial expressions."

"She's a guy?" Hyde asked.

"Do you what him to show you?" Toshiya asked smiling, his crooked teeth showing slightly.

The three others covered their eyes in disgust. Mana's lips curled into a slight smirk. But as soon as it was there, it was gone. Hyde sighed. Neither Citorn nor Lyra had bookkeepers. They were doomed.

"Cageru!" Toshiya said. It appeared nothing had happened, but Lyra started walking around randomly.

"Lyra! What are you doing?" Citorn asked.

"It's not me. I don't know what's happening." She replied. She went up and kicked Hyde so he fell down. It was then when Hyde's backpack started to glow. He pulled Citorn's book out of it. It was glowing storm gray.

"I'm the bookkeeper of Citorn…" Hyde said, softly.

"Yes, and I'm the bookkeeper of Lyra!" A voice from behind said.

"Clara-neechan!" Lyra said, still being controlled. "Hurry, cast a spell!"

"Sorry…I forgot the book." Clara said. Lyra's mouth dropped. The opponent's spell wore out.

"Let me try mine!" Hyde said. "The first spell, Zalice!" Citorn snapped his fingers and a lightning bolt came from above, frying the opponent. Citorn looked up and saw a cloud above his head. That's where the power is coming from.

"Ugh...Cage-" Toshiya was interrupted.

"I won't let you control us! Zalice!" Hyde said. Citorn snapped again and the lightning bolt shocked Mana and Toshiya. When the smoke cleared, they were gone. "They're gone…"

"Yeah…I can tell this isn't the only time we'll be meeting." Citorn said. "Clara-san! Why weren't you with Lyra?"

"I had errands to run. People to meet, you know." She replied.

Meanwhile, Somewhere Else in Old Mochinoki

Two females were enjoying a breakfast. One looked around the age of six. She had black and lime-green hair in pigtails, violet, dull eyes, pale skin, a dark purple dress that reaches above her knees with a thin, lime green sweater over it, striped lime green and purple knee-high socks, and black shoes. The other was in her mid-teens. She had blonde hair usually worn up in a ponytail, green eyes, a long sleeved red shirt with a black t-shirt over it, dark blue jeans, and black shoes. The young one spoke up.

"Alex. I sense a mamodo nearby."

"Really, Zeffie? I would have never guessed, since we're in the place where mamodo are supposed to be." Alex picked up the book that was next to her and then stood up. "Well, let's go battle."

"Are you sure we should? I mean, I don't want you to get hurt…" Zeffie said, standing up as well.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm not weak, you know." Alex winked at her mamodo partner. "C'mon, let's go find them."

MF: Woot! Two chapters in one night! My sister wrote the beginning of this chapter.

YamiMeKayla: Yup. Oh I want to see how many people know this. Toshiya and Mana-sama if anyone knows who these people are, please tell us. You get cookies.

MF: Oh, I'm rewriting The Love Mamodo soon. I'm going to fix all the mistakes I made.
