Chapter 9: The threads of life

Sakurada Jun, a boy who has been a Hikkimori for a few moths before going back to school, looked up at the giant mansion before him. "This...is where...he lives?" Jun muttered, a look of awe on.

"Hmph! This is not nearly as grand and beautiful as our father's home, kashira." Kanaria sated as she looked up. Her artificial spirit flying beside as she sat on Jun's shoulders. Kanaria was hacing fun gettung to know Jun better and could tell why Hina Ichigo liked him.

Kanaria was currently being doll-sat by Jun and Nori was Mit-chan went off to her meet her family. Mit-chan didn't know how to introduce her family to Kanaria so she decided to let the Sakurada siblings take care of her. Kanaria was sad at first but Jun cheered her up.

Norie walked up the steps and knocked on the door, Jun following behind. They waited for a few minutes when opened the door.

looked at the two "Yes? May I help you?"

Nori smiled as she replied. "! You don't recognize us?" seemed confused but soon looked at them more closely. "Jun? Nori?" Nori nodded at smiled broadly. "It's been so long! look how much you've two have grown!" He said as Jun smiled a little, embarrassed at . 'He sure is the same as ever!' he thought as Kanaria looked at .

"Come in! Come in! Chris will surely be happy to see you two again!"

Nori smiled even more as Jun chuckled. "Yeah, Chris will surely be surprised to see us again!"

Nori and Jun entered, Kanaria still on Jun's shoulders as she looked around. "Woah, kashira! This place is really nice!"

Chris was upstairs in his room, he was on the computer looking up on something for Sonic. said blue blur was on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. He's been like this ever since he got back from the battle with Suigintou. 'Who is she? What is this Rozen Maiden and why...does she seem so sad?' Sonic wondered about in his thoughts, trying to come up with an answer but none came. Sonic sighed as he sat up right hwen 's voice came.

"Master Chris! Two old friends are here to see you!" said as he opened the door. Chris looked at him in confusion. "Old friends? Who?" Mr. Tanaka smiled as he stepped aside to reveal Jun, Nori and Kanaria. "Hey there! Long time no see." Nori said as Chris jumped up and smiled. "Nori! Jun!" Chris ran to them and hugged Nori, Jun and he shook hands. "It's been so long!"

"Too long..." Jun started to say when he noticed Sonic who was staring at them curiously. "Hello?" Jun stared at him, Nori sweat dropped at the staring contest that was taking place as Chris was looking at Kanaria. "Hi, I'm Chris, what's your name?" Chris asked as Kanaria smiled broadly. "I'm Kanaria, kashira! second doll of the proud Rozen Maiden series!" She sad with pride a she posed. "I'm the self, proclaimed "brains" out of all my seven sisters!" She boasted as she laughed a little. Chris kind of thought her laugh was cute and thought 'Kawaii!!' to himself.

Sonic's ears perked up at the sound of 'second doll of Rozen Maiden' and looked at Kanaria. "Wait! You're a Rozen Maiden?" Kanaria averted her eyes to Sonic. "Hai! I am and why do you ask?" She asked Sonic, her eyes narrowing. Jun and Nori watched in silence at Sonic as Chris was beside them. Chris then said "Hey! Didn't you say that doll you faced that was with Eggman say she was a Rozen Maiden?"

Sonic turned to Chris and nodded. "Yeah, she said that she was the first doll of the Rozen Maiden and her name was...un...Suigintou I think..."Sonic's mind tried to confirm this but the reaction he got was all he needed to confirm.

Kanaria gasped and Jun and Nori did too. "Suigintou! Where? where is she?" Jun asked urgently at Sonic. "She's with but I don't know where."

Kanaria glared. "...Ah! The wizard!" Kanaria sat down and thought. 'If the wizard has captured one of my sisters and has made her under his control then that would mean...but Sugintou is too stubborn unless...Megu!'

Kanaria looked up to see Jun and Sonic talking and Nori explained the situation the situation to Chris.

Their reactions were more then pleasant. Sonic seemed to growl. Eggman was really gonna get his ass handed to him.

Kanaria seemed to hear her spirit calling her and listened. Her eyes full of wisdom that, if she were a human child, should never know. Kanaria nodded as she sadly looked down at the floor, she knew what she must do in order to help her sister...Play the Alice game.

Mephiles groaned as he came back to consciousness as he heard voices. He didn't open his eyes, he wanted to try and recognize the voices but only two of them he did recognize as the third he didn't. 'uh...wha...?'

"Now, what should we do with him?" A childish voice said as the other with grace and a musical tone answered. "Why don't we let Elise decide?"

'Elise...'

"Well, i guess we could take care of him until he gets better, I only knocked him out..."

"Elise-chan."

"Yes, Hina Ichigo?"

"..uh...Do you LOVE Mephiles?"

"Ah! N...No! I mean, we were friends and..."

"Oh...so it's denial?"

"n..No! what? you think I'd forgive someone who nearly...!"

"What?"

"Nothing...it's nothing."

Mephiles felt a pang in his chest at th very mention of 'That' moment. He would never forget that day...when it happened...

Mephiles felt a soft hand on his chest and the hand ruffled it a bit. Mephiles gasped and opened his eyes to stare into the three pairs of startled eyes. "So... he's awake. wow, he has such beautiful eyes! Almost haunting!" Said a girl he didn't recognize.

Elise sweat dropped as Hina Ichigo stared at Mephiles. "Um...err, Megu...you have weird taste you know..." Elise said as Megu pouted. "What! They are beautiful! And the crystalized fur makes him even more cute!"

Mephiles felt a blush come on his cheeks as Megu said this. He then felt hands of his ears and holding them. "Are these real?" Hina asked as she felt them. Mephiles sweat dropped then growled. "Let. Go. Of. My. Ears." Hina 'eeked' then ran to Elise, hiding behind her. "Kyaaa! Scary!" She said as Elise patted her on the head. "Don't worry, the mean demon hedgehog won't hurt you." She said as she looked over at Mephiles, her face didn't show it but her eyes told everything. Mephiles flinched at the look Elise was giving. 'How did Elise end up as Sango and me as Miroku from Inuyasha?' He thought as Elsie looked away, leaving a totally freaked out Mephiles. 'Now i know how Miroku feels...woman are scary!'

Megu saw that Mephiles seemed down so she sat down next to him. "Hi!" She said, causing Mephiles to jump. 'Where the hell did she come from?' Mephiles thought as Megu giggled a little. "Don't worry, I don't bite."

Mephiles was starting to get creeped out. 'I that suppose to make me feel better?' He thought as Megu seemed to give a confused look on.

Elise stood by Megu, that look still on. "Well, since you're awake then I guess you can go now." Elise said as she began to walk away only to have Megu tug at her arm. "Does he have to? I mean, you said so yourself. He was your friend."

Elise became silent then replied. "Was..."

Mephile's ears drooped down. Mephiles could understand, after all wouldn't anyone? Wouldn't they understand how she would feel if you nearly lost something very precious to anyone, especially nearly stolen by your BEST friend, on their first time. (An: Hint, Hint)

"Come on! We're going!" Elise said as she began to walk towards the mirror. Megu stood up and grabbed Elise. "But Elise! we can'tj ust leave him here! I mean, come on! He is cute you know!" Megu giggled as Elise still had that look on.

Hina Ichigo nodded. "And Besides, we need to find..."

Hina Ichigo said the name of her sister and Mephile's eyes widen. 'Could it be? Her? Kirakishou always did fond over her.' Mephiles thought as Megu nodded. "Yeah! We need to find Angel-san, After all..."

Megu showed her left hand up. "I am Suigintou's Medium."

Suigintou was getting out of the Jewlery store, a red chaos emerald in hand. "What kind of Bakas puts a Chaos emerald on display in a Jewelry store?" Suigintou said out loud to Metal Sonic.

Metal Sonic nodded when the alarm went off. "And now the Police are coming." He said as Suigintou sighed. "Humans are such bakas!" She said as she and Metal took flight.

That was when Suigintou sensed it. She sensed...one of her sisters. "Hmmm..." Suigintou stopped as she looked down only to see a blue blur and a car where both Metal Sonic and her were just now.

"Is something wrong?" Metal Sonic asked as Suigintou smirked. "It seems that one of my sisters is here!" She said as she giggled. She was sadistic and would always toy with her sisters. "Perhaps I could...gather more Rosa Mystica, eh?" Suigintou giggled even more as she flew down.

Metal Sonic seemed to stare at her, a knowing gaze. "Even when you act cruel, you still have the pain in your eyes." He said as he followed Suigintou.

Kanaria and Sonic were looking around as the policemen arrived. "Sonic! What happened?" One of the officers said as sonic turned. "Looks likes someone broke in!" Sonic answered as Kanaria inspected the place to find black feathers on the ground. "I knew it...She's still here..." Kanaria said as she watched Sonic and the police converse of what happened. That's when Kanaria looked up and shouted. "Pizzicato!!!" She said as her green artificial spirit flew to her to her. Kanaria had her umbrella out as Pizzicato flew around it to have it morph into a violin.

Kanria got ready and shouted. "Everyone stay back!" Sonic and the others looked at her strangely. "Who is she?" "What is she doing?" "Is she playing a Violin?"

"Kanaria, what the heck are you doing?" Sonic asked as the officers whispered among themselves. "Play the Alice Game with...Suigintou!" Kanaria answered as a hoard of black feather came just then.

"Hohohohoho! Kanria, so you're the one here? And I thought it was the loser, Hina Ichigo!" Suigintou giggled as Sonic got into a fighting position as the officers took cover from the feathers.

"Long time no see, Suigintou!" Sonic said as Suigintou looked at then back at Kanaria. "Kana...it's been 346,980 hours and 31 minutes since we last played the Alice Game." Suigintou said as Kanaria stiffened. "Yes it has...since wep layed the game with...Barasuishou, but i have no time for this, Kashira! It's time to play!" Kanaria then started a tune. "A silent requiem" And then a whole gust of wind came as she played her violin.

Suigintou was nearly blown away if Metal Sonic hadn't come and caught her.

"Metal Sonic! What are you doing here!?" Sonic yelled as Metal Sonic looked at him. "Helping my friend!" He then turned to Suigintou who smiled in gratitude then turned her attention to Kanaria. "Kana!" Suigintou yelled as she adjusted and sent out feather to penitraite the wind but they blew away.

Kanaria glared at Suigintou who flew into to try and get to Kanaria only for her to use another kind of attack. "Endless Cannon!"

Suigintou was hit by it but still flew towards Kanaria. Kanaria jumped out of the just in time, for Suigintou inteded to stab her with one of her feathers.

Metal Sonic had his attention on Sonic, his eyes blazing. "Sonic, do you have any idea how much I want to destroy you?"

Sonic smirked. "Apparently, I don't. Care to enlighten me?"

"Gladly." Metal said as he charged at Sonic.

And there! Ha! Cliff hanger. Damn, didn't know I had it in me to do it. I know, I hate these too but i'm tired. I want to go to bed. Don't worry, i'll continue it.

What exactly did Mephiles do to Elise? (Hint: Come on! It's every girls precious moment. They're FIRST time.)

Okay, now i sound sick! (EEEEEEEEEwWWWWWW!!!!)

O///O Damn it!!!
