Chapter 6

In the Passage and the beginning of a new day

As Izzy disappeared into the darkness Tai handed Sora a flashlight and they both followed Izzy into the darkness as well.

"So where do you think this passageway leads" Tai asked curiously to no one in particular.

"I don't know" Izzy's voice said from up ahead.

"Well I guess we're going to find out right" Tai's rang out from behind Sora.

As the three teens went further into the passageway they realized that they started to descend down some stairs and realized that the passageway went even deeper into the ground.

"Wow there sure is a lot of stairs" Sora said aloud so that the tow boys could hear her.

"I agree" Tai said and all of a sudden crashed in to Izzy who had stopped for some odd reason.

"Ouch, Tai get off of me" Izzy said and wait for Tai to get off of him.

"OH and you thought I had fun crashing into you" Tai said and got off of his friend.

"So Iz why did you stop anyway" Tai asked.

"Well there's a door hear with a word game on it that has a picture of a parrot beside it" He said and shinned the light of his flash light on the door to show Tai and Sora what he was talking about.

"Do you think it has something to do with Loulou" asked the familiar girly voice from behind the two boys.

"Maybe" Izzy answered.

"Well I guess well have to figure it out tomorrow because I'm tired and want to go to be now" Tai said and then yawned.

"Yeah I'm tired to" Sora said and started to follow Tai back up the stairs that led out of the passageway.

"Are you coming" Tai said to Izzy.

"Yeah I'm coming" Izzy said and ran towards the two.

The next day…………………………………….

It was bright and early when Tai woke up, but when he woke up he realized how dark and gloomy it looked outside.

"Geez this place is fringing dark" Tai said to himself as he decided to pull his covers back over his head. All of a sudden there was a knock on his door and an excited Sora bounded into the room and jumped onto Tai's bed.

"Good morning" She said in her overly excited voice.

"Sora what the hell it's 7:30am in the morning" Tai whined and shoved his head into the pillow.

"Get up" she said while bouncing on the bed.

"Why" Tai whined again and pulled the blanket over his for a signal for the girl to leave him alone.

"But it's important" She said while yanking the blanket out of Tai's grasp and pulling it off of the boys body to reveal his blue and white plaid boxers and know shirt.

Sora gasped and blushed at the sight of Tai almost being naked.

"Sora gives me back the covers" Tai said as he tried to grab the comforter away from the girl. And then he noticed the blush on Sora's face.

"Why are you blushing" Tai said while sitting up to reveal his abs and toned chest from all the sports he's done and being outside all the time.

Her face flushed even more at the site of Tai, and then it hit him that he was only wearing boxers and nothing else.

"I'll go put some close on ok" Tai said and walked over to his suitcase and pulled on a pear of sweat pants and the white tee-shirt he was wearing underneath his other shirt from yesterday.

"So are you going to tell me what the hell is so important that you had to wake me up at 7:30 in the morning?" he said while looking at side ways a little bit.

"Oh right the important news" Sora said still all the while blushing at what she had seen Wow now I know why girls are always all over Tai because it's definitely not for his brain Sora thought to herself.

"Hello earths to blushing Sora are you there" Tai said more than asked.

"Ah….. Yeah Tai I'm still hear just sort of zoned out you know" Sora said with a sheepish grin on her face.

"So what is that you wanted to tell me" Tai asked again for the second time in a row.

"Right, well I was talking to my aunt this morning and about the secret passageway and I told her that there was no curse on the wall then she asked how could you miss it it's right there and I also found out that the passageway that we had gone into was the wrong one and that the one she went into had to do something with the gargoyle outside her room" Sora squealed out, "So you know what that means."

"Um….No what does it mean" Tai asked curiously.

"You are stupid Tai" Sora said with a smirk on her face.

"Ok now there is no reason for hurting my feelings this early in the morning now is there" Tai pouted.

"Well Mr. Density that means there's another secret passageway hear in the manor and it has something to do with the gargoyle outside of her room" Sora practically shouted at Tai.

"Sora be quiet people are still sleeping" Tai said to the auburn haired girl.

"Sorry I forgot" she said and blushed again.

"So why aren't you bugging Matt this early in the morning" Tai said a little stiffly at the person he mentioned.

"Well to be truthful Matt and I really haven't been getting along all that much and all he thinks about his band and I swear the only thing loves is his stupid guitar" Sora said a little upset at the fact that Matt paid more attention to his guitar then her.

"Oh well why don't you just dump him if he's being such a jerk" Tai said while looking at his feet.

"Tai it's not that I don't want to dump his it's just the fact that I don't want to break his heart you under stand right" Sora said thoughtfully.

"Yeah I understand" Tai said and put a small smile on his face.

All of a sudden there was a small knock on the door and with out the slightest ease Mimi burst through the door with Izzy right behind her.

"Hey guys what's up" Mimi said.

"Oh nothin much just talking about stuff" Tai stated more than said.

"What about" Mimi asked and waited for her friends to reply.

Sora looked at Tai who looked at Izzy who looked at Sora whom all of them nodded to tell Mimi about there discovery of last night.

"Well last night we found this secret passageway" Sora started saying until Tai cut in.

"And we found this door at the end of the passageway and it's locked up but the only way to unlock it is to play this word game that has something to do with Loulou" Tai said.

"Ok so who's Loulou" Mimi questioned.

"Well Loulou is the parrot" Izzy said and stepped into the room instead of standing in the door way.

"Ok so is that all was it dark and scary in the passageway" Mimi asked.

"Well it was dark but we had flashlights and I suppose it was a little scary to" Sora said.

"Ok so now what are you guys going to do and can I be apart of it" Mimi said and asked at the same time.

"Of course you can besides I know where there's another passageway we just have to figure out how to open it up" Sora said.

"Where's this other passageway" Izzy asked.

"Well it's by the gargoyle outside of my aunts room, and if you push on it, it moves" Sora said.

"Ok but do we know what direction to push it in" Izzy asked.

"I haven't got a clue" Sora said.

"Hey Sora you know when we were in the great hall looking at the portraits to find Jane's grandfathers portrait to get the password from his coat of arms" Tai said.

"Yeah, why" Sora said.

"Well I seen this guys portrait in the great hall and guess what was in the portrait" Tai said.

"Just spit it out already" Sora said while getting a little impatient with Tai.

"Alright, well the exact same gargoyle is in the photo but there was no coat of arms underneath of him" Tai said.

"So who do you suppose has the um coat of arms" Sora asked.

"I bet Nigel does" Tai said.

"Who in hell is Nigel" Izzy and Mimi yelled at the same time.

"Well he's the guy that's in the library working on the family history of the Takenouchi's since there was nothing on them, and because he's so high up on the family history he probably has the coat of arms" Tai said.

"Well what are we waiting for let's go to the library and find Nigel" Sora said enthusiastically.

"Wait it's still really early in the morning and I don't think Nigel is even up yet, but maybe should pay a little visit to Loulou and ask her if the word baby means anything to her" Tai said.

"Ok so does everyone know what we're doing" Sora asked.

Everyone nodded and went out the door in the direction of Loulou's cage.
