Jun reacted instinctively: she punched the ghost closest to her, then ran into the kitchen. From the sound of things, Daisuke might have run back into the bathroom, but his screaming indicated that one of the ghosts probably had a hold of him. Jun sort of hoped they'd take him and leave, but doubted that would happen.

"You can't run away from Bakemon," the ghosts taunted. Jun smirked to herself.

"Who says I'm running away?"

When the ghost found Jun in the kitchen, he also found out how painful a cast iron skillet could be. Jun was pretty sure he wouldn't recover from that any time soon.

"Jun! Save me! Jun!" Daisuke continued to whine from the bathroom. Peeking around the corner, Jun could see her brother putting up a good fight. The ghost - Bakemon's twin? Was caught in between the door and the frame, but Daisuke wouldn't last too long.

'Why should I help you?" Jun called back.

"I'm your little brother!"

"...So what's your point?"

"I'll give up Dragon Ball for two weeks!"

"Four."

"But that's a whole month!"

A particularly hard wiggle from Bakemon's twin almost saw Daisuke lose his fight.

"Have fun with the ghosts," Jun taunted in a singsong manner.

"Fine, four weeks!"

Jun grinned to herself, "Yay."

She wondered if it was more painful to be spanked with a frying pan or smacked in the face. That crash into the wall probably didn't feel very good either.

"Grab that and follow me."

"I don't want to touch it,"

"I don't care."

"But why do I have to carry it?"

"Because I said so." Jun lead Daisuke into the kitchen, where she retrieved a pair of trash bags from a drawer. "Put that in here," she ordered, handing one to Daisuke.

"Why are we putting the ghosts in trash bags?" Daisuke wondered.

"We can't just let them wake up and escape." Jun explained.

"But can't they die in the bags? Mama says we shouldn't play in plastic bags because we can su-su-suffuk -"

"Suffocate."

"Yeah, that." Jun stared at Daisuke, feeling annoyed.

"So you'd prefer we let them roam around and capture us later?"

"No..."

"Then why can't we kill them?"

"Because killing is wrong! Why can't we lock them in cabinet or something?"

Jun huffed, considering. It would be smarter to get rid of the ghosts, but she didn't feel like arguing over this. "Whatever, we'll shove them in the cabinets." She declared, yanking her ghost of the bag she'd put it in. She locked both ghosts in separate counters beneath the sink.

"Great," Daisuke cheered as he watched. "So now what do we do?"

"Now," decided Jun, "we find out what's going on."
