Now while Kaien may be a genius at inventing, when it comes to getting to where he needs to go, he doesn't have a clue. Indeed this is proven when he and Luigi find themselves lost in the forest.
"We should be there by now." said Kaien looking at a very old map that wasn't made for the current time period. Kaien looks up and stops Philippe. They were at a fork in the road.
"We'd go this way." Kaien said pointing to the right. Philippe looked and sees that the road Kaien is pointing to is very foggy, scary, and disappeared forest. Philippe looks to the left and sees that the road there is more cheerful. Philippe tried to go left but Kaien stops him.
"Come on! It's a shortcut! We'd get there in no time!" exclaimed Kaien as he made Philippe walk down the right path.
They continued going down the right path still pulling the wagon. Philippe looked nervous. Philippe thought he saw a shadow of a wolf running through the trees. He stopped as they heard a howl.
"This can't be right! Where did you take us, Philippe?" demanded Kaien getting scared as Philippe backed up.
"We'd better turn around."
Philippe backed up so much that he accidentally bumps the wagon into a tree behind him. A bunch of bats fly out of the trees freaking out everyone. Kaien screams and Philippe ran off. Philippe ran fast still pulling the wagon Kaien invention is on. The fast horse hits a bump and causes Kaien to fall off onto the ground. As Kaien got up, Philippe ran off out of sight with wolves following him.
Suddenly Kaien hears a noise and yelps, "Uh, Philippe? Is that you?"
Suddenly he hears some growling and slowly turns around. Sure enough, behind him are a group of wolves and they are approaching looking very hungry. Kaien screamed and runs for his life with the wolves in pursuit. Kaien wasn't where he was going and fell down a steep hill. When his fall was over, he got up. He sees an iron gate and fence in front of him. As he looks behind him, he sees the wolves are almost on him.
Not wanting to waste time, he run for the iron gate and yelled, "Is someone there? HELP!" He held the bars in panic. Suddenly the gate opens and he fell in. Before the wolves could get to him, Kaien closes the gate quickly, knocking them back. Kaien sighs in relief then screams as one of the wolves grabs one of his feet through the gate. He quickly kicks one off and got away from the gate.
Turning around, he gapes as he sees that he has arrived at a castle. Suddenly lightning flashes in the sky and it started to rain. Not wanting to get wetter, he runs up to the front doors and knocked loudly. They opened up. Although nervous to go in at first, he came inside the castle and into the foyer. Kaien looks around. He sees a huge staircases and doors that seemed to go somewhere. The whole room appeared to be dark.
"Hello?" Kaien called out hoping someone could hear him. Besides his usual echo, there was no answer. "Hello?"
As Kaien looks around, he hears some voices.
"Poor guy. He must have got lost in the woods." said a young voice.
"Stop talking you idiot and he may leave!" said another young voice.
Looking around to see where the voices came from, Kaien continues, "Is someone there?"
"Not a word from you, Shuhei! Not one word!" said the 2nd voice voice.
"I don't mean to intrude but…I've lost my horse and I need a place to stay for the night." explains Kaien.
"Aw, c'mon Izuru. Have a heart." insisted the voice who is identified as Shuhei.
"Ssh!" hissed the voiced of Izuru. "Ow! Ow! Ow!
Ignoring Izuru, Shuhei spoke up, "Of course, sir! You're welcome here!"
"Who said that?" asked Kaien before he grabbed a candelabra and looking around.
"Over here."
"Where?" Kaien felt a tap on his head. He looks up. To his surprise, the voice is coming from the candelabra! He saw two eyes with a 69 under his left eye and three scars straight over his right that lead down to his right cheek.
"Hello!" said Shuhei with a smile. Kaien is startled and jumped back, dropping Shuhei in the process.
Kaien looked down at the candelabra with amazement in his eyes. "Incredible…"
"Oh, you have to do it, do you? Very typical, Shuhei," The voice of Izuru came in. He is frowning clock.
"Oh. Hi there. I...ah, ah, ACHOO!" Kaien has accidentally sniffed in some dust and sneezed right on Izuru's face. Kaien uses his own handkerchief to wiped his own nose while Izuru just wiped himself clean.
"Oh, you are soaked to the bone, sir. Come. Warm yourself up by the fire." insisted Shuhei as he led Kaien to the parlor.
"Why, thank you." mumbled Kaien talking funny.
"Hold it! Don't you dare!" yelled Izuru as he runs after the two into the parlor. Unknown to either of them, a huge shadowed figure was watching this. With a growl, he rushed off.
"You don't know what our master would do if he catches him here!" yelled Izuru as he runs into the parlor. Shuhei ignored him.
"Stop right there!" Izuru tripped and fell. When he got up, he groans as he sees Shuhei allowing Kaien to sit in a comfortable armchair right near the fireplace. "Oh, no! Not the master's chair!"
As Izuru looks concerned, a red blur rushes off. It looks like a footrest, but acts like a dog.
"Oh no. I'm not seeing this." yelped Izuru covering his eyes. "I really am not seeing this!"
The footrest dog barked happily as he brought up Kaien's feet.
"Ah, what nice...creature." said Kaien chuckling happily.
"Knock it off all of you! Don't forget who is in charge here..." Izuru was suddenly run over by a tea cart rushing in. When it stops near where Kaien's sitting, two figures revealed themselves. One of them is a female teapot with blue eyes and a teacup with blue eyes as well next to her. The teapot's name was Retsu Unohana and the teacup's name was Hanataro Yamada.
"Sir, care for some hot tea?" asked Unohana smiling. "It'd warm you up in no time." She pour some tea in in Hanataro.
"No tea…" yelped Izuru very concerned. "NO TEA!" As usual, no one listened.
Kaien took the teacup and started to drink it. However, he heard a laughter. He stopped and looked to see the laughter was coming from Hanataro.
"This feels funny, Lady Unohana!" said Hanataro while still laughing.
Suddenly the doors to the parlor slammed open. A howling wind blows in and puts the fire in the fireplace out. Unohana looks nervous while Hanataro goes to hide behind her.
"Uh oh." Hanataro said.
Gulping, Kaien sit in his chair scared. Were he looked at the doorway now, he would of saw something terrible. It is a human with white skin and glowing yellow eyes. Whatever it was, it wasn't human. Kaien is not sure what it is as he dares not look. All he saw was its shadow. As Kaien continues to shake scared, it came in angrily.
He growled, "There's a stranger in here."
"Uh, master. Let me explained." Shuhei said beginning to speak. "This man was lost in the woods, all cold and scared, and..." He was interrupted when his master blew a gust of wind. Shuhei gulped and looked scared now.
Izuru came out of hiding from under a carpet, walked up to Shuhei and said, "Master, if I can just say...it's his fault! I wasn't in on the idea from the beginning! Blame him!" As he speaks, he points accursedly at Shuhei. "I try to stop them but did they listen? Heck no! They don't care and..." The master blew a gust of wind again, freaking the clock out and hides behind Kaien.
Kaien looks to his right and sees no one. When he looks left however, he comes face to face with a very furious looking master. Kaien jumped back in fear and backed off.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" demanded the master angrily.
"Please...I got lost in the woods. And..." Kaien begins to say, trembling in fear.
"You are not welcome here!"
"I didn't mean to!" When he apologized, his focus was on the master and that didn't make the master very happy.
"Are you staring at me?" demanded the master furiously.
"No...I'm not!" protested Kaien trembling.
"Oh, so that's it, huh? You've come to stare at the beast!" snapped the master in accusation. This made Kaien make a beeline for the door but the master got there first and blocked him.
"I didn't mean to upset you or caused harm! I only wanted a place to stay!" yelled Kaien in a scare tone.
"You want a place to stay? Fine! I'll give you a place to stay!" growled the master then grabs Kaien by the shirt.
"Wait! No! NOOOOO!" screamed Kaien in horror. Everyone else can only looked helplessly as their master dragged a kicking and screaming Kaien out of the room before slamming the door behind him shut.
