Tori ventured into an underground city walking around, barely any light was shed into it. There were holes in the ground above for oxygen and in her case, light.

"How was I able to see in here when I was a little brat?" She asked herself as she walked into the 3rd wall ever since she had gone into her home.

.:Flashback:.

"Heya Chibi-chan!!" Tsubasa joked, patting Tori on her head.

She grumbled and punched his hand away. Being called a shorty was something she hated, who cares about height?

"Ow!! For a shrimp you sure pack a punch!" He groaned holding his fist, she glared at him. She then kicked him in the shin. "Ow!! What the hell was that for?!" He snapped.

She gave him a cheeky grin. "I dunno" She answered laughing as she ran as fast as she could from him.

Her height enabled her to run very fast and within seconds, Tsubasa couldn't see her anymore.

"Got your ass whooped by an 8-year old…and you call yourself a man!" Taji smirked.

"Shuddup!!" He snapped at his older brother.

"Whatever, she's gonna kick your ass every time you call her short ya know. Ya never know she might kill you one day" Taji went on walking away.

.:Flashback:.

"Sure glad I finally found my home" She muttered as she walked right into the door. "Dammit!!"

She walked into the door instead of going into the manor; she managed to get in after a few attempts. She sighed at the sight before her, even though it was quite dark, her eyes could make out skeletal figures of her dead relatives. She moved on ignoring the fact that they were watching her. She moved on, walking to the end of the hallway and turning to the right. She went into the 3rd room on the right—her bedroom.

"…Kinda tiny but I'll guess it'll do…"

Tori sensed something coming from behind her with a killing intent. She whirled around and stuck her foot out into the air. A head slammed into it. It moaned as it fell over.

"Heya Daichi!" She said once she made out its figure.

"…Nice to see ya…" He groaned getting up on its 4 legs.

"…Have you gained weight?" She asked curiously.

"What?!" Its snake-tail asked.

"No seriously, I remembered you less…porky…" She explained.

"I should've eaten you when I had the chance…" The lion-head grumbled.

"If you did then you would be screwed moron!!" She pointed out kicking the goat-head.

"Quit kicking me!!" He snapped pained from the 2 kicks to the head.

"Oh…sorry…so watcha been up to?" She asked leaning on some unknown object. She looked over to see two eyes staring back at her. "Hey Tsubasa!! Bout time you lost weight!" She joked at the skeleton she was using for an armrest. He collapsed into a heap of bones nearly making Tori topple over. She regained her posture and jumped onto the unwary chimera. Within seconds, the skeleton reformed and walked away.

"HEY!! Who said you could have a ride?!" The lion shouted out grumpily.

"You always gave me one when I was a little kid!!" She complained.

"What're you talking about?! You always jumped on us!!!" The snake hissed.

"Whatever!! Giddy-up!!" She commanded kicking his sides. Daichi growled but trudged on forward. "I said giddy-up!!" She yelled kicking his sides harder hoping that he would gain speed. He snarled at her actions and moved to a slow trot. She sighed disappointed. "I didn't think you'd be that outta shape!"

"You haven't shown fear ever since you were little and I'm guessing that you still haven't" Daichi spoke up.

"If I did then it would be chaotic, just like what would happen if Rina showed anger and Mika sadness" She said back.

"Make sure you can control your emotions, you never know what could happen"

"I know that!"

"What changed your mind to become a shinigami?" He asked suspiciously.

"I dunno, they said there were bunnies so I joined" She answered boredly.

"…bunnies…"

"Yup!!"

"You're strange"

"It took you that long to figure that out?"

"…shut up!"

She sighed with an 'I'm bored!!!' since her home was a very whacked-out haunted house; there really wasn't much to do. Also it was midnight…

"Go to sleep or something you're disturbing the peace here!! Believe it or not, the dead need their rest too!!" Daichi snapped bucking Tori off his back.

She landed on her head somehow and pouted while on her head, cross-legged.

"She's stranger than she looks…" Daichi thought.

Well fortunately to them she dozed off…while maintaining that pose (on her head). Skeletons veered around her as they walked back and forth in the hallways. Her mother decided to put her into her room and let her sleep normally as all the blood was getting to her head. Tori got very strange whenever that had happened.

"Nnh…renaissanceinghmphflippy…" She mumbled as she rolled over to her side. Daichi rolled his 6 eyes.

"What other words has she made up?" He wondered stalking out of her room.

.:Flashback:.

"…How many times do I have to tell you?! Squirrels have the big bushy tail while chipmunks don't!!" Tori screamed at Taji and Tsubasa.

They gave her a blank stare.

"Er…that's nice but…we don't care" Taji said to her.

"YOU SHOULD!!" She yelled back.

"Um…okay…" Tsubasa said quietly.

"Hmph!" Tori huffed and stomped off. "Rodents are awesome don't you forget that!!" She yelled back over her shoulder.

"…I will never understand her or females for the matter…" Taji spoke out quietly.

.:Flashback:.

Tori awoke to see an eight-legged creature with 8 eyes staring back at her.

"KYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAA!!!" She screamed in fright.

Daichi stormed into the room and head butted her.

"OWW!!" She groaned pained.

"You said you could frickin control your emotions!!" He roared.

"I can, but with spiders, it's a whole new level!!" She retorted.

They stared at each other in silence for a moment.

"You know what I just remembered?" She asked all of the sudden.

"What?" He asked uninterested.

"I dunno…" She answered back earning herself a glare from the 3 heads. "Sorry!" She apologized and then fell over into another deep sleep.

Daichi blinked confused, swatted the spider away with a flick of its tail and slumped down lying down falling victim to sleep.
