Part 7 let's play Hide and seek!


Bontenmaru was alarmed, "Oh no." he nearly shouted, then he hurriedly run as fast as he could, trying to stop the baby, but it seems that he won't be able to reach it on time because the baby's location was quite far away from him.

"STOP…!" Bontenmaru shouted when he felt there's no hope.

Then all of a sudden, the baby stopped crawling and positioned himself to sit as if he understands what Bontenmaru said, and then it looked straight at him and smiled; then he raised his arms, wanting Bontenmaru to get him.

Bontenmaru, on the other hand, felt a sign of relief, and then he rushed forward to take the baby; he was panting heavily, "I nearly had a heart attack because of that…so don't do that again…understand." Bontenmaru said to the baby as if he was his nanny. The baby only looked at him, smiling; then slowly touched his face and babbled, "Dada bababu…"

"Oh...you're so cute." Bontenmaru giggled, gently pinching the baby's rosy cheeks; then he realized something, "Huh...wait...where's the parents of this cute baby?" he wondered; and then he slowly scrutinized the baby's face, assessing if the baby inherited his parent's physical features. "You remind me of someone...could it be..." he shook his head, "No, I'm sure they won't leave you without someone who will take care...but, but you look exactly like her...and your eyes were like his...but Oh well...seems that it's our destiny to meet...ha-ha."


Meanwhile, near in Kyo and Yuya's house, Benitora was still asleep, his back flat on the floor. He was drooling and smiling as if he had a good dream. Then all of a sudden, someone taps his face. At first, it was a gentle tap, but soon it becomes a slap – a slap that made him woke up. Benitora suddenly stood up and looked around, and saw Akira in front of him. Benitora frowned. "Why did you slap me? It really hurts...you're so cruel." he said as he slowly touch his numbing left cheek, then he yawned and stretch his arms.

Akira chuckled. "Because I thought you were dead...so I tried to revive you..."

"You're so nice Akira...thank you for slapping my face."Benitora said with irony, his eyes narrowing.

"You don't need to be thankful...it's my nature to help a person like you..."Akira replied, smiling, "Oh...by the way, where's Kyo and Yuya?"

"Kyo left to buy sake..."Benitora responded absentmindedly.

"How about Yuya…?"

"I don't know...She wasn't here...when I went here...only Kyo and the baby was left."

"Where's the baby?"

"Baby…?" Benitora uttered, then suddenly, he realized something, "Oh my –...I'll be a dead meat soon!" he exclaimed.

"Huh?"

Benitora immediately looked around the place, searching for the baby, but it was nowhere to be found. Soon he began to panic. "Akira...did you saw a baby?"

"What? I see nothing..."

Benitora looked at Akira. "Oh yes...you're blind, how stupid..."he muttered, and then continued his search."Oh what I'm now going to do...where should I find him?"

"You lost the baby? Kyo will punish you for this...he will be mad for sure..."Akira said flatly.

Benitora quickly ran to Akira's side, pleading to help him. "Akira, please don't tell Kyo about this yet...I - I will find the baby, so please tell him that I just brought the baby with me."

"But what if you don't find the baby...what should we do?"

"Just help me please?"

"Ok...be sure to find him as soon as possible...because if not...Yuya will hate you forever..."

"I know...I know." Benitora said anxiously.

"I think I should find him too?" Akira uttered, touching his chin.

"You worry about me...You're so kind! Akira, how should I ever repay you...?" Benitora exclaimed with teary eyes, trying to give Akira a hug, but Akira suddenly flinched backward, and said: "I don't care about you...I'm worrying about the baby..."


"Is this the important thing that you said?" Sasuke frowned as he looked around; they were in a place in which he was familiar of – an inn. As Sasuke and Yukimura entered the hall, they were greeted by an old lady, dressed in a red kimono. The old lady lead them the way to their room, while they were walking Yukimura stops for a moment and breath some fresh air. "I really like to stay at this kind of place...it really make me feel relaxed..."Yukimura said, looking at the whole place. The inn has a beautiful garden outside which gives a livelier ambiance.

When they were already in their room, Sasuke sensed Yukimura's excitement. "Hmmm...Looks like you're waiting for someone..." Sasuke assumed while looking at Yukimura's naughty grin.

"Yes, yes..." Yukimura replied, grinning with excitement, "I'm waiting for someone...she's really beautiful."

"Until now you're still like that...poor man..." Sasuke muttered, shaking his head in dismay. Then all of a sudden a young lady with a short hair entered the room. "It's nice to see you again...Yukimura-sama..."she greeted politely, bowing her head; then she turned to Sasuke and said: "Oh...you had a companion...nice to see you too." Sasuke suddenly blushed when the young lady looked at him.

Yukimura chuckled and nudged Sasuke's arm and said: "Hey...Sasuke, don't be mesmerized at her beauty..." Sasuke only frowned at him, and say nothing. Then Yukimura rushed forward to the lady's side. "Mizuki...I really miss you so much, so I went here just to see you...you're still beautiful as ever..." Yukimura said, flirting with the beautiful lady.

"Yukimura-sama…how many times that I told you that my name is Misaki not Mizuki." She said, still smiling.

Yukimura laughed."Ok, ok, Misaki...by the way...he's Sasuke." Yukimura said, pointing at sasuke, and then he introduced Sasuke to the young lady. "And he's my peevish but cute friend." Sasuke raised an eyebrow and said: "Peevish but cute? What is that? Are you insulting or complimenting me?"

"Of course I'm complimenting you..." Yukimura smiled.

"Are you staying here Yukimura-sama?" Misaki asked.

"Yes."Yukimura replied.

"No." Sasuke butts in, "We were going to bring back the baby first to Yuya nee-chan...don't we?" Sasuke said while looking at Yukimura.

"Baby...?" Misaki uttered curiously.

"Yes, Yukimura-sama planned to take Onime-no Kyo's baby but he didn't bring it back...he's so bad...don't he?"


Meanwhile, out in the woods...

"Are you sure...this is the right place where to find the baby?" Shinrei asked Hotaru, they were walking in the narrowest route, which Hotaru chose a while ago, assuming that they will find the baby there; until they reached the darkest part of the place. The place becomes hazy and creepy as they walked. Then they saw an old signboard which looks like a warning, saying that no one should enter.

Shinrei felt that they were already heading the wrong way, but Hotaru insisted and continued to walk.

"Look..." Hotaru uttered, pointing at someone – a lady dressed in white, walking alone.
