"Artemis?...its time to go.." Butler said as he knocked a few times in Artemis' door. He waited for a few second before opening the door slowly. "Artemis?.." he called but received no answer. He looked around the empty room and sighed. "where has he gone to?" Butler whispered to himself walking out of the room and down the hall toward Holly's room.

"Holly! Open up!" Artemis almost yelled banging in the door. "NO!" she answered with anger. "Don't make me break the door to get to you!" an annoyed Artemis said. "as if you could" was her reply. Artemis sighed and shook his head in frustration. "We are leaving in a few minutes!" He argued. "Then I'll see you in the plane!" she shot back. Artemis glared at the door for a few seconds as if by glaring the door would instantly melt before him allowing him to step inside the elfin's bed chamber. "fine….see you in the plane!" And with that said the genius turned leaving behind an angry and most annoyed Holly.

Artemis walked past Butler muttering to himself about how annoyed he was feeling thanks to Holly's refusal to hear him out. Without noticing he bumped past Butler and winced at the sudden pain on his shoulder. Without thinking he turned around red faced and wide eyed and yelled "CANT YOU SEE IM WALKING BY!" Butler blinked and hid his face full with pain. Artemis turned and walked away fast not caring for what he had said. Butler looked down to the floor wondering what he had done wrong before deciding to simply go on and tell Holly that they would depart in five minutes.

Japan, A couple of hours later

Holly stared at her surroundings and glared at Artemis. "what are we doing in a rice field?" Artemis sighed and shook his head disapprovingly. "Holly, you of all people should know that things aren't as they appear. This rice field is just a cover for the monks that live in the temple over the hill. They are the ones who guard the jewel you will be retrieving" Artemis said as he turned and started walking away and over the hill with Butler right behind a few seconds later. Holly glared at his retreating form and cursed herself for not remembering such a simple thing. "well..I guess I better make peace with him before I steal the jewel from him…" Holly whispered to herself as she ran after them trying to catch up.

Holly reached them and gasped for a few seconds before being silenced by Artemis' cold glare. "would you mind? If you keep breathing like that the monks will discover us!" he hissed at her. Holly rolled her eyes and calmed her breathing to a steady rhythm. "you try running up that damned hill!" she snarled. He looked away and into the shrine that stood before him. Artemis looked around from behind the bushes they were hiding in and nodded to Butler who nodded back. "so what now?" Holly asked getting near to Butler who pressed his fingers to his lips. She stood quite just a monk walked past the bush and into the shrine.

"okay, Holly I have already scanned the area. They are armed and seems like they have monks guarding the jewel. I need you to retrieve the jewel without making much of a raucous is that understood?" Artemis said before turning to Butler and nodded at him once again. "here" Butler said handing her a couple of daggers that she gratefully took.

"where is the jewel located?" The annoyed girl asked as she placed her last dagger in her sleeve accommodating it into place so that she'd be able to have access to it if needed be.

He stared at her and stood silent. She looked up and stared at him with a puzzled look. "well?.." she asked. "Its located in the middle of the whole shrine….its surrounded from every corner….there's only one way in and one way out… and that is the front door…." Butler explained as her eyes widened "What?...then there is the risk of my having to actually kill?..." Artemis nodded with a sigh. She swallowed hard and fixed her hazel eyes in the door way before taking from the backpack she had been carrying a black suit.

Artemis eyed the piece of clothing and raised an eyebrow. "what is that?" he asked but Holly never answered since Butler was all over her with great enthusiasm. "is that a ninja suit!" he exclaimed, his eyes dancing with joy and respect for his friend. She nodded backing away from him and laughing nervously.

"I didn't know you were ninja!" Butler said. She nodded and answered " well I am an LEP officer, I'm required to know every single kind of fighting there is….." Butler nodded and turned to Artemis who was eyeing him suspiciously. "why are you staring at me that way?" The bodyguard asked with a nervous laugh. Artemis shook his head and turned to Holly who smiled at him. He looked down to the ground and cleared his throat to speak. "Holly, I'm sorry, I…" but he never finished his sentence because when he looked up she was gone and running through the main door of the shrine and ready to complete her task.

Artemis sighed shaking her head and rubbing his temples. "I guess my talk with her will have to wait…" Artemis whispered to himself as he looked up and smiled gently at Butler. "Butler..about today in the morning…I'm sorry" The genius said looking down. Butler smiled softly and nodded understandingly. "Its alright…." He answered and deep inside himself he knew he truly was sorry for yelling at him. He smiled enjoying the fact that his charge had actually apologized since he never did that much at all…
