Crap! I had to rewrite chapter 4 because I accidentally replaced it with chapter five! Crap! ...sigh... hope you enjoy! I've just a few more chapters to replace! Let's just hope I don't make that same mistake twice...

Jin: If you're new, then review!

Chapter 4:

Vacation: Ready and Set!

"Is everyone done packing?" Mr. Dickenson asked, gazing at Tyson as the boy dragged his freakishly large suitcase. 'What did that boy fill his suitcase with!' he thought in amusment.

"Yeah, I think so," Tyson grunted, lifting his suitcase and then dropping it in the compartment at the back of the limo.

"No, wait, where's Kai?" Miriam asked, looking around for the cold and lonesome blader, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"He's probably getting that killing machine," Dunga snarled, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't know why he insists on bring that demon!"

"He probably feels sorry for her, after all, you can tell that both have had a horrible past." Ray said, leaning against the black limo and staring up at the cloudless sky.

It was eight A.M. Bright and early in the morning, the birds chirped and people were getting ready for work or another summer day of fun! The trees rustled with the summer wind and a few pink petals dropped from the heavens. It was the perfect day for a vacation; everyone was absolute thrilled. Even Max was jumping up and down, and he didn't even have breakfast!

Hilary wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Ew, I'm sweating and I didn't even do much!"

Suddenly, they heard glass shatter into thousands of pieces, Akane's chains rattling, hisses, more hisses, even more hisses, and then...silence...

"What in the world?" Max took a step forward towards the house. "Kai...?"

Right when he said that, Kai stepped outside with Akane's chains in his hands. She hissed at the smiling sun but with a glare from Kai it changed to a low growl. Gently shoving her inside the limo, he then slipped inside, Ozuma following..

"What happened?" Ozuma questioned, but Kai ignored him and said nothing.

"I'll send a limo to pick you up in a month! Good bye!" Mr. Dickenson waved as the vehicle drove down the road and disappeared around the corner. 'I wonder if it was a good idea to let Kai bring along that murderer...' he thought to himself, turning around and beginning his long walk back to the building. "Hopefully, they'll survive...All I can do is pray and wait..."

They've been driving for a few minutes; Akane was staring out the window, preferring to keep to herself. She stared at the passing view with curiousity and fascination. "What strange wonders..." she murmured, staring at a bird flying overhead.

Slowly, sleep began to weigh upon her eyelids. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and then reopened them. They had entered the forest a while later. Over the engine, she heard hoofs. Raising her head, she gazed intensely outside. A black stallion came into view, it dashed across the plains and glanced at the vehicle with little interest. Soon, they took a turn and the stallion was gone.

"I wonder...what does if feel like...to be free..." she murmured.

The car suddenly stopped; every turned to the right to see a beautiful white mansion. Its frontyard contained fountains, benches, a pool, beautiful cherry blossom trees, and the entrance of a maze on the side of the house. It seemed like paradise; there were very few other houses around, it seemed so peaceful, so far away from cities. The air here was fresher and the plants bloomed with magnificence and happiness.

"Alright! Not even a murderer can ruin this vacation!"

Little did they know, that fate had much more in store for them than a mere lone vampire...
