Awkward episode which shuffles perspective a lot, Go!
Umm...soooo...enjoy!

''IT FAILED!'' Boneys cursed as he brought his face close to the the older scientist.

''W-what do you mean?'' Grey tried to keep this cool but neither Boneys nor Kuroneko, sitting on the couch, bought it.

''You said they couldn't purify it with their glowing attacks! Well, they did!''

''Boneys,'' A soft voice said, all three instantly stood up and bowed.

''Hello, Mistress.''

Walking in came beautiful lady, dressed in a dark-red kimono filled with flower-patterns. In her hair she wore a black rose which complimented her curly, rose-red hair.

It was Onibara, the Rose Demon.

''Boneys, I've been told that you have captured one of the Pretty Cures?'' She spoke in a soothing yet clear voice, Boneys merely shivered and Kuroneko gave him a mocking grin.

''Mistress, I though maybe we could use the Cure against her comrades so I...I injected her with Grey's new needles and she...''

''Stop.''

It only took a single hand gesture to silence the boy. Boneys stared at the ground.

''Useless. You are so useless,'' Onibara gave Boneys a serene smile as thorny vines erupted from the ground, wrapped around the pale boy and simply dragged him underground while he let out a chilling scream.

Onibara turned to Grey, who was clearly shocked.

''I expect better results the next time I drop by. You two do know what happens If you fail, right?''

''Of course, Mistress,'' Kuroneko ears twitched as she grinned, unlike, Grey, she didn't seem bothered by the previous scene at all.

Op: 'Halloween Night' by Aya Ikeda

Episode 6: Aah! It's Yuina's Birthday!

It seemed Miku was really eager to become closer with her newfound friends. She would often appear in front of Yuina or Wakaba's home to pick them up or invited them to go shopping (even though she didn't seem really interested in clothes, like Yuina, or video games, like Wakaba), every night Miku would constantly send the two an endless amount of text-messages. And Wakaba seemed to be slowly coming out of her shell, she seemed more comfortable around her two comrades and considerably stuttered less.

''YOUR BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!?'' Both Miku and Wakaba cried in astonishment, while they were sitting in their clubhouse. The group visited the clubhouse almost everyday. They also managed to get the small television working and often watched a random music channel, which Larry really seemed to enjoy as he mostly sat in front of the television, banging his head from side to side along with the currently playing song.

''Oh, yeah. I'll turn 16 then,'' Yuina answered uninterested as chewed down some chips Wakaba had brought along.

''Why didn't you tell us?''

''It's no big deal. I'm planning to sleep the whole day and watch some more episodes of my series and...'' Yuina fell silent as she remembered that half of her dvd were crushed by Boneys, tears swelled up in her eyes and she started to sob loudly.

''NO BIG DEAL!?'' Miku screamed as she grabbed Yuina's shoulders and started to shake the girl wildly, who was still crying in self-pity.

''Yuina?'' Wakaba asked worriedly and gently pushed Miku away from the crying girl.

''I totally forgot about my dvd's! I can't continue watching the next season now, which starts at episode 260 and I've finished watching 259 yesterday!'' Yuina blubbered dramatically, surprising almost everyone with her sudden change from the normally most level-headed one of the group to a big, crying drama-queen.

''But..your birthday is tomorrow?'' Orlok uttered as he flew to Miku, who looked sternly at Yuina. She dragged herself to the corner of the room and sat down on the floor, resting her head against the wall while a rather depressing aura formed above her.

''Yuina...um...Don't feel b-bad. I remember when I a-accidentally spilled s-some drinks on my 'Convoy's Mystery' cartridge, that was so...'' Now Wakaba started sobbing as she sat down next to Yuina, growing the depressing aura around them.

Larry signed lowly. He stormed to the two sobbing girls.

''Wakaba! We werewolves aren't softies!''

''B-b-b-but I'm n-not a werewolf..''

''You are Cure Wolf and my successor. Act like it!''

''Come on, you guys,'' Miku hoisted the two girls back up and dragged them back to the table. ''No sad faces!''

''Why don't we take another stroll around the Island? Who knows, maybe we find the hideout this time!'' The shorter girl suggested brightly as got on her coat. Jacky jumped in the coat's pocket.

''Huh? Why now? All of the sudden?'' Orlok asked curiously. Miku completely avoided the bat's question as she grabbed the girls' coats and shoved them in their hands.

''Sorry. That was stupid and quite embarrassing,'' Yuina admitted as she and Wakaba swept the tears from their faces.

Even after Wakaba had returned, the group still had continued to look around for the potential hide-outs of The Black Roses. They weren't even sure If Onibara's minion even were in the human world but according to Orlok, Jack and Larry as long as the gate still was closed, nobody could travel between Halloween World and the human world, aside from the Pretty Cures. However apparently the girls weren't able to do that yet since they hadn't enough power yet.

''They may even be using Wisp and Zeta's powers to travel,'' Jacky had once suggested with a very worried voice.

The Cures had eventually decided that the only real way to come a step closer to saving Orlok's friends was to (''Stupidly'' according to Yuina) cling onto Boneys or Grey when they wanted to teleport to their hide-out.

''Let's split up!, Yuina, you go look around here and nearby the trailer-park, while I cover the school-grounds and Wakaba the mall.''

''You want to split up now?'' Yuina asked quite suspiciously. Miku chuckled as she ran of and dragged Wakaba along.

''Sounds like a g-great idea!''

''Your sending me away so that you can throw me a surprise party, aren't you?''

''Hehe, of course not! Not at all! Bye!''

Before Yuina could say anything, Miku and Wakaba had already disappeared, leaving the last girl alone with Orlok.

''I don't care about my birthday. I don't want them to go through all that trouble'' She mused somewhat irritated and re-entered the clubhouse and turned the tv off. Why was it still on anyway?

''I'm lost.''

Yuina jerked her head up and shot a wide-eyed look at Orlok.

''Is something wrong?''

''Did you hear that, Orlok?''

''Uh, No. I don't hear anything.''

''Leave it to me, sis!'' Kaori called on the other side of the line. She hung up the Phone immediately rushed out of the house and to the store.

Miku hung up as she and Wakaba were searching for Yuina's house. It was near the beach, Miku remembered were she had confronted Yuina.

''Here it is, see it says 'Akagawa Family'!'' Miku said as she pushed her finger on the doorbell. A short yet loud ring was heard and nothing happened. Miku rung again and again, then Wakaba rung, and again.

Nothing happened.

''They're not home?!'' Larry asked gruffly as he hung in the hoodie of Wakaba's rather thick coat.

Tapping on the window, Miku stood on her toes to try looking inside, which she wouldn't have seen if not for Wakaba gently picking her up.

''Oh, wow. You're actually pretty strong,'' She short girl grinned sheepishly as she peered through the window. She saw a woman, presumably Yuina's mother, cleaning another window.

''Hello!'' Miku tapped on the window but the woman gave no response.

Yuina rushed to the other room and looked at the doll, still sitting on it's chair in the corner.

''Hello?''

''Hello'' Yuina said without thinking. She immediately regretted it. Was it really the doll she heard, just like Miku had said.

Dolls don't talk.

But than again, bats, pumpkins and wolves don't talk either.

''Is anyone there?''

''Are you a doll?''

''Yes...He...e...''

The voiced fell silent. Yuina slowly inched to the doll, staring into its empty sockets.

''Hello?''

No answer.

''Are you still there?''

Again, no answer.

''Yuina?'' Orlok quietly landed on Yuina's shoulder.

''Orlok, I really think that doll is alive...''

After tapping on the glass for the hunderd time, the woman finally turned around and noticed the girls. She immediately ran to the door and opened it.

''Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I didn't hear you,'' The woman merely laughed. The music coming from her music-player still audible, as Miku and Wakaba introduced themselves.

''Yuina's friends? Oh, I've heard her talk about going out with her friends. It makes me really happy! Oh, what can I do for you two?''

''Hehe, we have planned something awesome!'' Miku grinned as Yuina's mother let the two girls inside.

''First Miku and now you?'' Orlok flew in front of the doll, studying ever inch of it. He finally shook his head. ''It looks like a perfectly normal doll to me.''

''Let's just go,'' Yuina said finally. She picked up the keys and later closed the doors as she started to walk home.

''I'm sure she would love it!'' Yuina's mother and gave the two girls an approving look as they waved goodbye and started walking home.

Miku took her cellphone and saw she had gotten a message from Yuina.

[''Hey Miku, do you remember when you though you heard that doll in our clubhouse talk to you. I think I just had it too.. let's try to find out something tomorrow alright? I'm heading home now, see you tomorrow and good night!'']

''If we had stayed there any longer she might have walked in on us!'' Jacky squeaked as she stared with big-eyes the wolf, still hanging in Wakaba's hoodie.

''Luck is on our side, it seems!''

Quite annoyingly, Yuina was woken up the next morning by an endless amount of messages from both Miku, Wakaba and even Jacky and Larry.

Orlok tapped the half-asleep girl on her head, who groaned and hid under blankets. She just wanted to sleep. Sleep till noon.

''Happy Birthday!'' Orlok said rather cheerfully as he flew upwards and decided to sit down on Yuina's lamp, which stood night to her bed.

''Lete muh seep!''

Miku, Wakaba and Kaori almost reached their destination, which was Yuina's home. They all carried some packages and Kaori baked a cake, which she was carrying carefully in her hands.

''I hope she likes the cake.''

Kaori looked up as she suddenly noticed a figure standing next to the trees but before Kaori could said anything she heard Wakaba let out a loud cry.

''Grey!'' Larry roared as Wakaba threw the present away. Kaori was at a lost for words...the present Wakaba had thrown away had completely turned into some kind of monster.

''G-Grey! Why?'' Jacky begged as Miku shoved Jacky into Kaori's hands and shoved the girl into the bushes. Miku and Wakaba grabbed their Hollow Changers

''Boo Boo Bogey! Monster Change!''

In a moment they had transformed into Cure Witch and Cure Wolf.

''Magical Spell, Potion with a strange smell! Cure Witch! Hehe!''
''Howling High, Full Moon in the sky! Cure Wolf!''

''I'm sorry. I have to...Zeta...Andromeda...'' Grey lamented as he closed this and tried to rush towards Kaori, only to be slashed in the face by Wolf's claws. She growled dangerously as she almost effortless thrust the scientist's body against the wall.

Jacky started sob quietly as Larry tried to console her by wrapping his tail around her

''Zeta...Andromeda...'' She whimpered weakly. ''They...they...''

Cure Witch looked at the Witch Staff in her hand. She remembered what Jacky had told her about the staff. You never know what was going to happen when using it, sometimes it would return the Okinakuchi to its normal state and sometimes it would, like Blood and Wolf's attacks, destroy it.

She had also noticed out that she never immediately could use the attack, sometimes it just didn't work.

Like now.

''Witch Curse!'' She tried to yell and pointed the Witch Staff at the Okinakuchi.

Nothing happened.

''I'll do it!'' Wolf yelled as she thrust Grey's body towards Witch. He got a hold of Witch's hair and staff, leading to a struggle between the two. It was now that Witch noticed how she was lacking in power, especially in comparison to Wolf was was said to have the most physical power of the Cures.

Witch only barely managed to get Grey to let go of her only for him to immediately grab her collar of her purple dress.

''You need to die! Now!'' The man spat as he brought his face close to hers.

Cure Witch had enough. She used her staff and started to beat the man off of her and he started to weep and sob uncontrollably. Witch let out a cackle and immediately stood still once she realised something...

This wasn't funny.

Beating an old man wasn't funny. Why did she laugh?

Grey took this moment to grab Witch's foot, causing her to fall as he started choking her.

''You just need to die! Then my children will be saved!''

''Wolf Claw!'' Wolf's claw grew and she dug her claws into the Okinakuchi which exploded in a bloody mess.

''NO!'' Grey started to scream panicky, which gave Witch the chance to throw him off her again. Grey grabbed his head and started shaking, without saying or doing anything he disappeared.

Kaori immediately dashed out of the bushes with a worried look. Witch and Wolf exchanged uncertain looks as they transformed back and quietly continued their walk to Yuina's house.

The good mood they all had before was certainly been crushed.

Yet Yuina seemed, really, really happy when she finally awoke and her parents, as well her friends were there to congratulate her. Thankfully she really liked the cake Kaori had baked for her and she was very pleased with her presents, except one last thing.

''You stupids! This is the wrong set...I already have this one..'' Yuina looked disappointed at first but it quickly turned into a smile as she embraced Miku and Wakaba.

''But thanks! You are great!''
