Here's the dramatical part: lucky number seven! Twists and turns abound, the killer strikes again, and someone will NOT be seeing the light of day again! (evil laughter) Sorry, saw too much Soul Eater . . . anyways, please read, review, and no flames, I only own Kitten and the Metagang, thank you!

Thunder and lightning boomed and flashed as the front door was blown open. The group in the front screamed, jumped, and in a certain white haired's case, pulled out a rider transformer, hands shaking. The darkness from outside and barely audible light of the day were making it hard to see. The figure was at the age of sixteen, he was wearing a coat drizzled with the black of the day, and to the side of his body was a gun . . . he scoffed and walked inside, removing the coat. The others were on edge still.

" No way . . . " Loony said and then shivered, fingers near his mouth as he bit his nails," IT'S THE CRYPT KEEPER!"

The others screamed as King sneezed. Ranger was still asleep, ears plugged.

" It's Tal Ordo Loony, just chill," Phoenix sighed rolling her eyes as she walked back downstairs.

The others sighed and calmed down. Rook pulled back his Keyblade as Phoenix walked down the rest of the steps and led Tal to the living room.

" Least someone can tell the difference," Tal said, revealing his black clothes. " Sorry I'm late everyone, but the rain caused my team vehicle to experience trouble. That, and someone put cheese under the seat . . ."

Scorpion laughed at it as King rolled his eyes.

" Ah jeez, what is this? This isn't Wisconsin . . ."

" Thanks King, and why are the Metagang - " Tal pointed towards them now shocked.

" I'll explain in a moment . . . "

The thunder was booming in the distance as the group was now placed in the living room at noon, all either still fearing for their lives or in Tal's case, wondering why he wasn't still back safely on the road in the storm where he would have died NOT from the hands of a psycho. He sighed and lessened his grip on the gun in his holster. Marcus, now off the hook, was shaking still as the room began to get eerily colder than before. DP was sitting as he finished explaining to Tal the details from beforehand.

" And how many people are dead now?" Tal asked.

" That reminds me, let's go over what we know," TL said as D-Dude took out a notepad. " Nice job on notes, bro!"

" Thanks," D gave a thumb's up. " The first victim was XProdigy, who was killed by a gunshot during dinner last night. The gun, a .22 caliber, was used and hidden in the wall, set to go off when the person beforehand was sitting in X's place. From further examination, we all realized and discussed that whoever killed X had also wanted something he had, or was going to get."

" The MVP from DP?" Tal asked.

" Oh man, I wasn't picking X," DP sighed sadly. " Why does this stuff always happen to us?"

" Join the club, dude," a few of the Metaguys said in the room.

" Hold it, person beforehand?" Goddess asked. " Wasn't X the target?"

" Well, now, I-uh . . ." D-Dude shivered.

TL then covered Goddess' mouth as she steamed, red faced with anger. " So, uh, Big Double D, wanna keep going?"

" Be glad to . . . the second victim was Nukid, who was stabbed sometime between midnight and early this morning with a black sword, left sitting up in a closet, found by Dawn and Jiro. We later determined this was the same person who had killed X."

" Hold the phone," Loony said standing up. " I REMEMBER SOMETHING!'

" What?" the others asked.

" Spit it out, Loony," Wandrex said standing.

" Last night, remember?"

(Flashback)

" Does anyone know where a mock Bankai sword of Ichigo's is?" Janera Moeteiru asked coming in wearing a red dress and her Fire gemstone around her neck. Her red hair was curling over this time and looked around. " I brought it here and it vanished."

" Don't you need a permit?" Lunatic asked her.

" Says the redhead insan-o with the chakrams," Janera said. " Least I don't go insane."

(End of Flashback)

" Janera was looking for a black bankai sword she brought! That must be what Nukid was killed with! THUS, the killer IS INDEED AND WITHOUT A DOUBT-!" Lunatic looked more and more enraged as he spoke.

" The killer can't be Janera dude," King sighed." She's been with us preparing in Omnitown, that and it took us a few hours to get here, even with crappy directions via someone in the Authors and no mentioning there, so we pretty much are not the killers, Lunatic."

Lunatic shrank back and coughed.

" Well, Lunatic was right when he said the bankai sword was used, but it was stole last night, so someone would have been in her room beforehand," D-Dude said.

" WHAT?" Janera yelled from the top of the stairs, She ran in yelling," There's NO WAY someone stole my bankai! WHOEVER DID'S GONNA DIE!"

" You two would be perfect for each other," Rook said to Lunatic.

" I have a boyfriend you jerkweed," Janera crossed her arms and Lunatic gagged and fell down grabbing his throat, Advent laughing his butt off." Man I miss Drac . . ."

" How's Kitty?" D-Dude asked her.

" Slowly getting there," janera said. " Hikari's calming her down and she stopped crying, but she's iced half of her room, so she'll be bunking with me."

DP nodded and squeezed his temple. " As long as the ice melts and gets shoveled outside in the mud, I'm cool with it."

Janera laughed nervously and ran back upstairs. King sighed and sat back down as D-Dude kept reading on his notes, the others still thinking about the motives and appearances of the crime. The rain had momentarily stopped as the mud outside was beginning to slowly edge towards drying. Ranger yawned and woke up, unplugging his ears.

" So what'd I miss?" he asked.

" Nothing much, just going over what we know," TL said to him.

" Oh . . ."

" So, what would a person have to gain from killing both X and Nukes?" Goddess asked.

" Maybe it's position in the team?" Advent asked shrugging.

" No, then they would have gone after me . . ." DP said. " Or they could be after power, like X's guns and Nukid's streching ability."

" NO thank you," Banjomaru said.

DW then blinked and looked around. " Hey, wasn't there a gay looking blonde guy in here beforehand? You know, when DP was still talking to Tal about what happened here?"

" Haru?" Rook asked.

" He said something about going to take a leak," King said. " He can drink unlike everyone right now . . ."

" But . . . that was over two hours ago!" Marcus jumped up flailing his arms.

Fear began to fall as thunder rumbled in the distance.

" Okay, no one goes to the bathroom for two hours," DP jumped up, staff in hand. " He's either missing or-"

" The killer got to him!" Lunatic yelled.

" Loony, chill man," King said.

Kiva laughed and, coming back from the kitchen with a soda, said," You guys are sure jumpy right now . . . ya know that? Geez, Haru probably got lost, the idiot . . . Come on, dude can't even make it out of the school without losing the way on both the track field and the roof at the same time. he can't even find his way out of a-"

" Where were you?" The others yelled.

" Getting a soda, gotta keep up strength ya know," he said opening the soda. " Geez . . ."

" Kiva, don't freak anyone else out like that . . . this is NOT a horror movie in real life you know," King said. " As your leader, I have full authority to make you stop before something ELSE bad happens, and I do not wanna be the one to tell Blossom her boyfriend was killed in a freak accident in a storm in a plantation house in the middle of NOWHERE!"

The others were silent as Dairo said," Yeah, it WAS hard to find this place . . . ya shoulda given us bettah instructions, Rookie boy."

Rook rolled his eyes annoyed." Kitten wrote them up in Japanese, her English is like dancing weasels, yadda yadda yadda . . . Kiva do not try anything."

" Try what?" he asked taking a sip of the soda. " it's not like I'm gonna drop de-"

The others saw Kiva freeze very suddenly.

Banjomaru had wide eyes," Kiva? Are you oka-"

A look of terror on his face as he grabbed his throat, then fell to the floor, coughing as he clawed at his throat more and more. He started to tick violently smashing his head on the floor. Banjoamru freaked out and ran to hold him still along with King and Scorpion, Dairo running into the foyer and back into the kitchen to get something. DP, DW, TL, Loony, Ross, Air who was walking in from another area looking a bit dazed, Ranger, Rook, Wandrex and D-Dude all stood back and wide eyed, Advent hiding behind the couch. Kiva was shaking violently as Dairo came back and said something in Japanese to them, freaking them out even more.

" Hang on, Kiva, calm down!" Banjomaru cried. " Just hang on . . ."

Kiva was slowing down, and for the next fifteen minutes, they were holding him down, blood pouring from his mouth and head busting open. Banjomaru was crying his eyes out as Dairo was running back and forth, still speaking in Japanese. It was tortureous, terror filled and ten times the tenacious typical fear of anything else. Rain began to sprinkle as they finally gave him ground.

He was motionless.

Silence.

Rain pouring.

Thunder boomed.

" What . . . . what just . . . " TL was shakingly walking forward.

Banjomaru was silently crying as he said," Kiva . . . he's an epileptic . . ."

" He had a grand mal seizure . . . " Dairo said, looked serious. " I don't know how it was triggahed . . . He suffered wounds from the floor . . . he's dead."

Hikari and Tia were leading Kitten down the hallway slowly, Janera, Ookami, Phoenix, Dawn and Jiro still together, and Phoenix running on ahead when they heard noises. There was a scream and bumps along with Japanese yelling. With the others gone, the three stopped in the hallway. Hikari's hair was up in a pony-tail and Kitten's eyes were red from crying. She sniffled and looked towards the direction of the sounds as Tia also looked up.

" We're sorry for accusing Marcus-san, Kitten-chan, but we're only looking out for you," she said.

" I know, Hikari, and I accept that feeling, and aside form everything, I still love him and I know he'd never hurt me and what are the noises all about?" Kitten hiccuped, changing the subject.

" Good, now that is wrapped up and we should figure out what's going on . . ." she said.

" Do you think they found out?" Tia asked darkly. " If they did. . . "

" They can't have yet . . . . " kitten sniffled. " I used a charm. There's no way they will find it yet. Not until the rain stops, but that's not for a while now."

Hikari nodded. " It was still a good spell I used to keep the mud off of the floors."

The other two nodded and walked along.

" Let's go see what the fuss was about."

The basement was darkened and cold, damp, and very drafty as there was a creaky sound. The creaky sound was still echoing despite the thunder as it went towards the stairs. Near the stairs was a large box with wired going up and down: the fuse box.

It opened as a light shined, eyeing a specific wire marked LIVING ROOM LIGHT.

It snipped.

XXX

The group was joined by the girls as they came back, Kiva's body lying where it was. They walked back downstairs in a fast pace as the others were now silent and still. The boys moved to expose Kiva's body, all on accident, as they noticed.

" Hey guys, what's with all the commo- HOLY CRAP KIVA'S DEAD!" Janera screamed.

The other girls creamed as well as Dawn and Jiro gasped.

Hikari, Kitten and Tia walked downstairs and gasped.

" K-k-k-k-k-Kiva?" Kitten shivered, then swayed and fainted, Hikari and Tia catching her.

Marcus ran to her, running around Kiva's body and the girls. The Metagirls ran over and looked over Kiva's body, the others hanging their heads.

" That was scary . . . what ELSE can go wrong?" Lunatic yelled.

The Metagang gasped at once. " NEVER SAY THAT! SOMETHING ELSE CAN GO WRO-"

The light went out then in a flash as several people screamed.

" Yeah, we gotta stop that . . ." Janera said lightly after screamming.

Stay tuned and see if you can stop the culpirt!
