Disclaimer: It seems there are too many of these but if it helps make the chapter longer then so be it. I DO NOT OWN Nabari No Ou. :'(

Haruka Ai: Thank you!

VAMPIRELG: YES I FOUND ANOTHER FAN ALSO! I love Dragon Knights so much! I first read books 5,6,7,8,9 and 19 from the local library and for a few years I wanted to know more so I ordered all the other volumes. From the whole series I'm only missing the ones i read at the library, I hope to collect the last remaining ones soon. I literally cried when Alfeegi and Kai-stern died...I literally threw the book at the wall.

Days three through twelve (Not counting weekends) of summer school passed, each day Miharu would have lunch with Kai-stern and then the last three classes unless Kai-stern skipped. Usually just their last class, gym, and if not that Maria would walk everyday to pick him up since her job let her off ten minutes before school ended he would have ditched once or twice also.

Miharu sighed inwardly, it was another of those days that Kai-stern skipped which left him in a room full of people. Today just happened to be a basket ball day which made Miharu somewhat happy, he was alright with the sport.

Miharu walked to the front gates where Maria stood waiting for him. They fell into pace with one another, "What happened to your knee?" Maria asked, staring at the bruise that was now purple and yellow looking.

He smiled, somewhat evilly. "Just a game of basket ball, I scored the shot when I got the ball from someone." Maria smiled, translation: I kneed a guy and tripped him and scored the winning point.

"Congratulations!"

It was that same day before the 13th summer school day when during a session Tobari pulled Maria aside to tell her something. Yoite didn't know what it was about and Miharu was just as uninformed. Maria came back and avoided the topic completely, saying it was nothing.

That next day Maria didn't walk with Miharu, which worried him since Maria hadn't ever skipped a day to walk. At Tobari's it was another teaching day only Yukimi was there to help out, though reluctantly.

The day was ordinary enough except instead of a manga; Kai-stern was reading through his class text books and looked extremely concentrated. They barley spoke the whole lunch until near the end.

"Hey, you know Julius is having a party tonight?" Miharu shook his head, trying to figure out who this Julius was, maybe they shared a class..eh who cares.

"Well he said to invite anyone we wanted. I'm inviting you and you can invite anyone you want." Kai-stern informed him as he wrote down the information and passed the paper to Miharu.

"It's usually a huge bash. Wear anything except a costume." Miharu nodded, not planning on attending anyway.

Miharu cursed himself, wishing for the millionth time that his sister couldn't read his mind like a billboard in neon letters that glowed at night. Maria had already texted Raimei, Kouichi, and Gau the news and information as Miharu mentally banged his head against a wall. Once at Tobari's Miharu had been the one to tell Yoite, it went much like this.

"So we are going to a party." Miharu said, already telling Yoite about the small details.

"Maria organized this didn't she?"

"Yep, she called the others and got them on her side."

"Sometimes life would be easier if she didn't read your mind like a neon billboard."

"I know."

Yukimi dropped them off at the party, advising them not to drink anything that looked tampered with, no sex, no Kira (Yoite), or messing with things (Maria) and no drugs since he would not bail them out of jail. Also to Raimei and Maria he handed them each a key chain can of pepper spray.

"Just in case." Yukimi stated as they all got out, "I'll be back by eleven if you don't call."

Inside was an ongoing boisterous myriad of loud music and teenagers talking. People swarmed through the large rooms where in some were sofas, in one was a bar, another had a television, and so many other countless rooms with things to do.

The guys just went to sit in the room with the television where some comedy movie was playing on the huge screen. The two girls had passed then and left the room after spotting something else to do.

Miharu sat by Yoite, both slightly uncomfortable with being in such a crowded and noisy environment but tried their best to listen to the movie that was playing. Kouichi understood their fidgety behavior and was going to make sure they had fun.

"Hey guys, let me show you something." Kouichi said and led them from the room.

Yukimi sighed as he entered his apartment and laid on the couch. Maria had been the one to call and tell him that they needed a ride. It had been stupid of him to say yes since he immediately asked why right after. He never expected the reply, NEVER.

Miharu was invited to a party.

The indifferent king had made a sort of friend (acquaintance as Miharu called it) who invited him. Yukimi couldn't just say no, it was good for them. For Miharu, Yoite, and Maria to get out of their safety zones with people they didn't know. Maria may seem the most bold of the trio but he knew it was an act most of the time. Miharu and Yoite had been around people since they were born, though in different forms but Maria had been separated from the world at around five or six. Only half a year ago was she found and brought back to the world of people and many times she talked to Miharu, Yoite, or himself directly instead of the others.

But Maria was also good like her brother at tricking Tobari. When he had pulled up to said man's house to pick the whole group up it had been revealed that Maria had told Tobari that they were going to a movie and then Kouichi's and would be back late. Miharu had confirmed the whole thing, a demonic duo those two were.

Still he was a bit worried, when he had pulled up Kouichi was wearing a dark t-shirt with some band logo on it with dark blue jeans which was normal for party wear. Gau was much the same only his shirt had a vest which looked a little nerdy on anyone else but him. Miharu actually wore blue jeans and a random dark green shirt with a jacket, Kouichi had picked it since Miharu really had no fashion sense. Yoite wore all black, normal enough.

This is where he got worried; Raimei was wearing a blue and pink striped shirt with a gray skirt and her hair had been down but had a clip on the left side. Maria wore black Capri pants with a gray tank that had white polka dots. Also she wore a scarf as a make shift headband. Each wore sandals as the guys wore sneakers or black shoes (Yoite, normal enough).

Yukimi really couldn't believe this was happening. At first he was happy to take them but now he thought back to his teen years, all the parties….he groaned, he shouldn't think back or he'll get paranoid like that bed head. So instead he looked at the clock, it had been an hour and a half since he dropped them off, he silently hoped nothing went wrong. He didn't have the money to bail them out of jail…Maria probably did though. She'd call or mind chat with him, tell him where some money was. That would be a pain.

But he couldn't help but wonder how she got the money. Most likely a lot was stored there by her other aunt before she left. Maria also had a job now which was a new source of income; he sighed and turned on the television.

Kouichi stared at his two friends wondering what the hell had he just done. A few drinks were just to lighten the mood; he didn't know that something had been added in. Now he was watching as the two danced on and off with girls. Kouichi himself had danced twelve times but not with the person he wanted to. He sighed inwardly; it was his responsibility to watch his two friends that were helplessly drunk. He sighed, wondering how the other three were faring.

Gau smiled as he cheered happily, "She wins again!" He collected all the money into a random hat and shuffled the deck again. "Anyone else? Dare to press your luck?" Okay so maybe he was being a little over confident but Maria had won twelve matches of poker in a row. So wasn't he allowed to be a little cocky?

"Nah, I'm good for now. I'm going to go get something to drink." Maria said, standing up and walking away from the cards. Raimei had been here not to long ago but left to find the others. In the background she could hear Gau host the next match.

As she walked through the huge rooms she noticed something off, that familiar uneasy feeling but it left just as quickly as it came. Shrugging it off she took a glass from a tray and retreated to a corner in a room with loud music and dancing people. Standing there she closed her eyes and began to concentrate, her head had been bothering her for the last twenty minutes and it seemed to get worse. Probably the noise, never had she heard so much noise from one place.

Once calmer she downed her drink and opened her eyes. She nearly busted a gut laughing when she saw Miharu, he was dancing with a small girl a year older then them. She was laughing she could tell that Miharu was in his own world, just going with the beat.

"What's so funny?" Someone asked, she turned to that person surprised, she hadn't sensed then there. The person wore jeans and a T-shirt and smiled at her, "Sorry, did I surprise you?"

"No..maybe." Maria stated, unsure of how to answer since she didn't like it when people snuck up on her.

"Why are you laughing at him?" He asked, Maria could tell he was upset that she may be mocking Miharu.

"He's my brother." Maria stated, "I'm laughing because I never saw him act like this, so…out there."

The guy nodded and laughed, "Thought so too, glad to know I'm not the only one."

"Yeah, well I should be going." Maria said and walked away. She took another glass off a tray and drank it before heading over to play pool.

Raimei looked around, something was wrong. People were acting weird not regular weird but different. Some just lay around with others on the couches, holding them or other activities in one large room. She was now looking for Kouichi and the others to tell them something was wrong. So far there were too many people in her way.

Finally she made it to the dance room and quickly spotted Kouichi sitting on a stool, watching something. She ran over and he looked up, frowned at her series face and called over the music, "What happened?"

Miharu wasn't sure but he felt like ice water was splashed on him, it took only a minute for him to realize that water had been poured on him. Raimei and Kouichi had dragged Yoite and him from the room they were in and poured water to wake them up.

"Hey what's wrong?" Gau asked then as Kouichi led him over.

"My head is killing me." Yoite replied as he groaned in pain.

"Where's Maria?" Raimei asked Gau who shrugged, "She left awhile ago to get something to drink." That got most of their attention.

Maria backed away ending up against a wall. Her head was killing her and something was wrong, she could hear too many thoughts, too many voices were screaming through her ears, she barley registered falling toward the ground.

It was almost eleven, hell it was five minutes till and so far Gau had gotten punched in the eye by some random person. Miharu and Yoite had come out of their stupor but weren't as sharp as normal. So far they hadn't found there missing member between smacking guys who tried to grab Raimei and avoiding most of the female population.

"Maybe we should wait for Yukimi." Gau advised but the others disagreed since something could happen. And that's when Yukimi texted Kouichi, "Shit, he's right outside."

Gau, Yoite, and Raimei walked out to the car, stalling until Kouichi and Miharu found Maria. But it was to no avail, they walked out after several more texts from Yukimi. They were walking up to the passenger door where the window was rolled down to tell Yukimi when they heard a call.

They all turned to look at the guy who was walking toward them, mostly to the lean girl following him. "Thanks." she stated as Gau opened the door to let her in.

"See ya." Yukimi called as everyone piled in and then he drove away.

"Are you okay?" Miharu whispered to his sister who answered, "It was weird, suddenly there were so many voices and noises that I couldn't block out."

"My ears and nose bleed, it's alright though. That was one awesome party." Maria said the last part loud enough for everyone to hear. The others started to laugh, yeah it was pretty cool only something was off but at least whatever it was they were farther away from it.

"Hey Gau, give me half my sharing's from those poker games I won."

"You gambled again?" Yoite asked with a soft sigh.

"One day you will need my poker skills!"

"Yeah right." Raimei said, she couldn't ever see why they would need to play poker.

"That's what they said about the air vents but then what happened? Yes, they had to rely on them, AGAIN."

The two sighed, Maria would never let them live that one down.

Raingirl: This chapter was actually different from the first draft, it was shorter but this one was very long and more…fun to write. Hope you enjoyed this! Note: I know all parties aren't like this but please take no offense to anything...or you can. I don't care anyway I was just reading Fade then wrote this chapter, the original draft was just so unevenful. Though Gau still got hurt in both versions.

Poor Gau. I pick on him to much.

:(

Review please!
