At the Valentine home. Everyone was busy watching Sherlock Holmes. " Serenity! We should start a business in solving mysteries!" Mara exclaimed happily as Serenity shook her head with a chuckle. " Sorry, I doubt that anyone would hire us." Serenity replied. " We would!" Papi and Suu choruse as Sabrina shush them.
" It's too bad that Gaito refused to join in the fun." Miia commented as Mero sighed. " I tried my best to convince him to join us. But he wouldn't listen." Mero said. " Maybe I should talk with him." Aiden says getting up. Serenity stood up and started walking out of the room.
" Just stay here, and I'll talk with him. It's no use for you to miss the fun." Serenity told her brother. Aiden sat back down let her go upstairs alone. Serenity shudder as she got too the second floor. Just like the rest of the house it was dark. " I really hope Gaito has his room lit up." Serenity mumbled as she continued towards the boy's bedroom.
Suddenly a creaking noise followed by a giggle alerted Serenity. She spun around to see no one. " Papi, Suu, Lilith, Mara is that you?" Serenity called out. Nobody answered. Serenity shrugged and continued walking until she found the room. " Gaito, everyone wants you to watch the movie with us!" Serenity called out as she knocked on his door.
Serenity was surprised when the door opened and a rather annoyed looking Gaito stood there. " I don't want to watch a movie with anyone!" He snapped. " Then why are you watching The Maze Runner?" Serenity questions as she looked into the room. " That's none of your business! And don't look inside my room!" He shouted at her. " Wait a minute, did you really wanted to watch this instead?" Serenity asks. " We could've watch The Maze Runner, if you told Aiden that you wanted to watch that." She added.
Gaito looked like he wanted to protest, but stared in shock at something over Serenity's shoulder. Serenity looked over to see a girl with white skin floating behind her. The young girl was ready to scream when Gaito grabbed her hand and pulled Serenity into his room.
" Was that a ghost?!" Serenity exclaimed as the boy closed his door. " yeah, I thought something was weird here yesterday." Gaito commented as he locked the door. " I wonder if she was friendly?" Serenity asks herself. " She could be, but if she's not we need Smith here." The boy responded. " I'll call Smith." Serenity says as she dialed the number in her cellphone.
" Serenity, is something wrong?" Smith asks the moment she answers her cellphone. " Yeah, there's a ghost in the house." Serenity replied. " I'll send MONs at your house at once!" Smith announced seriously as she hung up. " Wow, Smith was serious!" Serenity exclaimed in surprise. " Really? Is she drunk?" Gaito asks as the girl shrugged.
Back downstairs. Aiden was getting anxious for his sister. " Master, shall Shaia and I look for Mistress Serenity?" Cerea asks as Aiden nodded. " Yeah, it's too dark up there for Serenity to see anything." Aiden responded. The two centaur women immediately left for the second floor, and they both heard the same giggles from before.
" We are not alone." Shaia commented as she and Cerea cautiously continued their search. Finally they found the room. " Mistress Serenity, are you alright?" Cerea asked out loud. " Cerea, run away! There's a ghost in the house!" Serenity shouted from the other side of the door. The two stared at the door with surprised looks, until they remember a few strange things happening at the home.
" Lady Serenity, Gaito open the door and follow us!" Shaia advise the two. The door open and immediately all four housemates ran down stairs to the living room. " What's going on?!" Aiden asks in surprise. " Master, we have a ghost here." Cerea replied as the other housemates were stunned. " The worst is that we have three ghosts!" Serenity exclaimed.
" Three!?" Miia shouted before looking for Lala. " I doubt that Lala knew about them." Rachnera pointed out. " This does explain, why the bucket was in the living room that one time." Kiri reminded the housemates that were there that day.
" Not to mention the creaking noises." Serenity added. " And the swings set moving on its own." Gaito pointed out. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Aiden opened it and the MON squad walk inside. Immediately, Zombina assigns herself and Tasuku on looking for the ghosts. While the others protects the Valentine home.
Aiden, Serenity, Shaia and Cerea joined the two to the basement. " Where are the spider webs and the dust?" Serenity asks. " Maybe, the ghosts are cleaning up the basement." Aiden reply, as someone knocked him out.
"Master?" Cerea questions, as she heard a noise. She turned around to see the ghost girl from before, dragging Aiden somewhere. "Master!" Cerea shouts, gaining the others attention. " Tasuku, take the shot!" Zombina orders the boy. " I can't! Aiden is in the way!" He shouts.
Suddenly, a ghost in a witch style clothing and another one in sport clothes appeared. The two started helping, the first ghost. " Master/Milord!" Shaia and Cerea bellowed together, as they charge towards the ghosts. Almost immediately the trio disappeared with Aiden! " Aiden!" Serenity cries out. " Tio, Aiden has been taken hostage! Search every room in the house!" Tasuku shouts in his communication device.
(Kiri's Pov) " Tio , Aiden has been taken hostage! Search every room in the house!" Tasuku's voice ordered. I sat stun at hearing this. " No! She promised that she and her friends weren't dangerous!" I frantically thought. I couldn't believe she lied to me.
(Flashback) I stood by my window after a chat with Joker. He just told me that Aiden and Cerea were really okay. " Hi!" A voice greeted me with a cheerful smile. I jumped, before I spotted the purple hair and skin girl. " You're a Jack o Lantern." I said to her.
" Yeah, and you're a Demon Lord!" She exclaimed happily. " How did you know that?!" I demanded. " I saw you transform yesterday." She replied. I was shock, how long has she been here? "I can't see why you have a hard time admitting what you are. I mean, you are in the program." She pointed out.
" Because, I don't want anyone to treat me any differently." I replied. " Really? You're not telling anyone, your real name either?" She asks. " Yes and who are you?!" I demanded. " Oh, I'm Ran!" Ran exclaimed happily. " Are you a threat to anyone here?" I question her. " Nope! My friends and I are not dangerous!" She says cheerfully, before leaving.
I just sighed, before noticing Suu. "Remember, this is a secret." I reminded her earning a nod from her. I watched the slime leave. "I been so busy worrying about Aiden's pentagram. I forgot to worry about myself." I mumbled.
(Flashback end) Right now, I was actually mad. " Calm down, maybe Ran is trying to get me in my real form." I thought as the Mons members start looking around the house. I knew I had to do something. So, I slipped out of the room and snuck outside the back door. I then saw the light in the shrine. " Am I really doing this?" I ask myself.
I took a deep breath and started changing into my real form.
(No ones Pov) "Girls, he's awake!" A female voice called out, as Aiden starts waking up. " Where am I?" He asks as Ran looks at him. " I'm so sorry about Rei! She panicked and accidentally knocked you out!" Ran explain. " You were panicking too!" Rei retorts. " We warned you that you shouldn't have play a joke on the sister!" The sporty looking ghost exclaimed
"Yeah! Now we're probably in trouble with the government and him!" Ran scold Rei. " Him, who? Aiden asks, before clutching his head and winching. " That would be me." A cold sounding voice replied. Aiden vision was blurry, but he caught sight of aqua hair and pale skin.
" Kiri?" Aiden questions the figure. " Aiden don't talk until I check your wound." The figure tells Aiden. " Wahoo! Miserea is finally here!" Ran cheered. " Shut up! Kazuka , tell him everything!" Rei exclaimed. " We escaped from are original hosts, because they verbally abuse us everyday. We came here because, it felt safe here." Kazuka tells her story.
" Why didn't you say anything before?" The figure questions. " Mister Valentine, is so handsome. We like watching him bathe." Ran replied. " I thought Miia was peeping on me?!" Aiden exclaimed in surprise before crying out in pain. The figure was immediately at Aiden's side. "This is bad! I can't see the injury and the pentagram is red!" He exclaimed, as Aiden wince again.
" Pentagram?" Aiden thought. " I can't you heal him? Your powers are water and ice." Rei points out. "I can't heal him! I need to actually see the wound and the pentagram is almost gone!" Kiri shouts. " What does the pentagram do?" Ran asks.
"It stops him from dying!" That was last thing Aiden heard. Aiden wakes up in his living room. The onyx eyed man sees a faint light from the living room's curtain covered window. " Thank goodness, you're alright!" A familiar voice sighed in relief. " Kiri, what happened?" Aiden questions. " I had to heal you without finding your wound." Kiri replied. " Where's everyone at?" Aiden asks.
" Asleep. Smith will be here in a little while with the papers." Was the reply. " I'm glad, I hope that Rei, Kazuka, and Ran get along with everyone!" Aiden sighed happily. Kiri looked uneasy about something. " Aiden, I know that you know the real me. But, please don't tell anyone." The boy begged Aiden.
" I won't." The young man replied. That's when someone knocked on the door. Kiri opens the door and Smith walked in with some company. " Hi Darling-kun, meet Kehp, Yuki!" Smith introduced the newcomers. " N-nice to meet you." Kehp shyly says. Kehp was a pan faun with short white hair and she was wearing a orange dress.
" Hello, Prince." Yuki greets with a beautiful voice. She was a Yuki onna with the usual blue skin and white hair. Her hair was put up and she wore a blue kimono with snowflakes. "Smith, is this really the time for this?" Kiri asks her.
" Yes!" Smith replied with a teasing smile. "Note to self, kill Smith some day." Aiden thought to himself. " I'll call the construction company for rooms to be made." Smith told Aiden, as She went into the dining room. " Kiri, did you make coffee?" Aiden asks the boy. "Yes, but I was going to give it to you." He responds doleful.
Kehp actually giggles with Yuki. Aiden really hoped he could talk with Kiri about the pentagram. But, that had to come later as he heard Serenity's voice from upstairs.
" How did I even get a pentagram?" Aiden thought.
Uh oh, Aiden lost his magical protection! He might have Lala, but will he have her with him when Calamity Mary returns? Kehp and Yuki are hints on who will appear in the next chapter. Next up, a Undine appears during a sever storm and she wants Aiden! After that, Polt appears first before the accident slash Rachel's return. Author out.
