Author's Note: This one came that easily. We haven't been checking up on the Jianjun and Junjie plot line. I will get back to them some time later. I have plans for Junjie. That will be in all due time. Plus, it is now October and it will be time to let loose and crank out the creepy. I actually got finished early on this match today and decided to work on the next halo in Caged Wonderland. I don't know what we are doing next week. For now, enjoy this week's match.


Match Fifteen: Uncle, Shion, and Gifts:

-Ju-

Despite the joy of having a baby, there is still my uncle to deal with. It's been silent for the past couple of months. I do not like this. It's like when a child is quiet in the background. They are probably up to no good. The same goes for Jianjun. With Junjie in his corner, I don't want to know what they are plotting. I took the liberty of calling up Junjie's victims to see if they were okay. I've gotten to know them so well. They were all scared of what would help now that their attacker was out of jail. I have even Szu talk to them sometimes.

"Is it helping?" I asked her one day.

"Yeah, a little," she said. I put my arm around her shoulders.

"We will end this soon," I said. Szu looked up with a sad look in her eyes.

"When will that be?" she asked. I refused to be in despair. I pulled Szu closer to my chest.

"You hear me out," I said. "We will not give up. We have eyes and ears everywhere. I am calling and checking on all of you every day. You can't give up either. Got it?" She pressed her lips together and nodded.

"Good," I said. I know keeping my word will be hard for this, but god damn it I am trying. We all are.

I sat back in my chair and looked down at my belly. Must be easy for Little Bean. They just grow and sleep inside of me. They don't have worry about business meetings, chasing down rapists, and back-stabbing family members. Lucky. I looked on my phone. I'm due for another appointment soon. Other than trying to track down Jianjun and Junjie, everything is going fine. Yao doesn't seem to be off in a fog. He still won't exactly tell me what's wrong though. I don't know how to get him to talk without pushing too hard. I just want to help everyone.

"Don't put too much stress on yourself or you'll hurt the baby," Bik told me. Cai has been constantly blessing and saying incantation to keep the child alive.

"You shouldn't be doing this much work," she said. "You need to take a break."

"I wish that I can take a break," I said.

"Fei has his police friends looking for those creeps," Cai said. "The boys can run things until the baby's born." I almost feel bad for telling her that I can't. We all can't rest until the Jianjun and Junjie are stopped.

I didn't feel like doing paperwork today. I turned and looked out my window. Maybe I could go outside and just enjoy the day.

I paused because I'm not alone anymore.

"How long have you been there?" I asked. I looked out of the corner of my eye to see Shion standing in the corner.

"I'm surprised you saw me so quickly this time," she said. I turned to face her.

"What do you want now?" I asked.

"I'm just checking up on the child," the woman with fox mask said. I tilted my head.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Does it matter?" Shion asked.

"Yes," I said. "I can't have some crazy woman looking after my baby for no reason, now can I?" Shion shrugged as she floated, yes floated, over to my desk. I looked down at her feet. Yep, they weren't touching the ground.

"You do have a point," Shion said. "I am a spirit from limbo. I look after unborn children."

"Uh-huh," I said. "Why?"

"Does there have to be an answer?" she asked.

"Yes," I said. Shion sighed and pushed back her hair from her forehead.

"Why do you humans always have to ask questions all the time?" she asked.

"Why are you so interested in my child?" I asked. I put my hands over my stomach. My brain went into attack mood.

"Calm down," Shion said. "I'm not here to hurt your child." Her words didn't sound so convincing.

"Hm…" was all I said. We didn't speak at first. I rubbed the sides of my forehead. "What do you want?"

"I am just checking on the child like I said," the floating woman answered. She lowered her feet to the floor.

"Hm," I said. I couldn't figure her out. She didn't take her gaze off of me.

"How has your…?" she began to ask.

"Stop right there!" I said, holding up my hand. Shion raised her eyebrow at me.

"No?" she asked.

"I do not want to know the gender yet," I said.

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Fine," Shion said. "I won't tell you what you're having."

"Thank you," I said. "Was there anything else you wanted?" She smiled and shook her head.

"No," Shion said. I blinked at her.

"No?" I asked.

"I would like some tea though," she said. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine," I said. I got up from my desk and headed into the kitchen.


I came back into my office with a cup of fresh tea.

"Here you are," I said. Shion gave her a kind smile.

"Thank you," she said. The woman took the cup and started drinking. I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Are you going to be doing this every time?" I asked.

"No, just every so often," Shion replied after taking a sip. "Just every once in a while."

"You're kidding, right?" I asked.

"No," she said. My face about dropped.

"Oh…" I muttered. Shion finished her tea and handed back the cup.

"The tea was good," she said. She vanished before my eyes. I just stood with a dumbfounded look on my face. I didn't know whether to scream and stand there with my mouth wide open. I still didn't know anything about her. What does she want with my child? Why me? Will I have to see her every day after this child is born?

I put my hand to my stomach. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to have Cai bless Little Bean again for the day. The paperwork can wait. I looked over at my desk before walking out of my office to head over to the Song House.


When I came home, I was greeted with some good news for a change. I found Yao and Hen-to waiting at the front door. Fei insisted that he walk me home.

"Oh, you're here," he said when he walked into his living room. "I was about to give you a call." I raised my eyebrow.

"What for?" I asked.

"Let me take you home. It's good news," Fei said. Cai and I looked at each other.

"Guys," I said when I made it back to my own living room. "What is this all about?" Yao and Hen-to grinned at me.

"We found them," Hen-to said. My jaw dropped.

"Are you serious?" I asked. "Where?"

"The Golden Monkey Motel," Yao said. I pulled out my phone and looked it up. I made a face when I saw the pictures. This motel looked like it had been burned and no one bothered to have it repaired. The sunlight did little to make it look better.

"Why would he stay here?" I asked. "Jianjun likes flashy things."

"He's also a cheapskate," Hen-to said. "He leeches off of other people."

"Oh yeah…" I said. I hated to know who he was sponging off this time. Junjie had no money. Zhong saw to that himself.

"Okay, this is good," I said. "What's our next plan of action?"

"We will keep watching them," Hen-to said. "My cop friends know some of the staff there very well." I looked up at him. He held up his hand before I could speak.

"We'll leave it at that," Hen-to said.

"Okay…" I said. "Well, good job everyone. We'll finally bring these headaches to an end. I hope." Fei put his hand on my shoulder.

"We will," he said. "We're closing in on him already." I smiled and nodded. Finally, some good news for a change. Despite that creepy woman popping up at random and Yao's strange behavior, everything was going fine.
