How long has it been since I posted the last chapter? Two months? I can't really remember...
Well, sorry about that. I had... problems lately.
But, do not fear! The new chapter is here! :D

Chapter 4
Horushi and Georgie sat on the sandy beach beneath the moonlight, eating pounds of burgers with pickles instead of patties (Horushi suggested it).
George: Actually, if you really try it, it's not so bad. *crunch*
Did I mention that it also had ketchup mixed with mayonnaise and grease as the sauce?
George: Bleurgh! *spit out the pickle burger*
"Horushi..." Georgie said, "there's something you should know."
"What is it, mom?"
Georgie looked at her half-eaten burger and blushed.
Kai: Eww, are you pairing those two up?! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Relax, Kai. I was just kidding.
"Horushi, do you see that temple thing over there?" Georgie pointed to the tomb where Horushi slept.
"Yeah. It gives me the creeps."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. It gives me this strange feeling... Mom, do you know who I really am?"
"N-no. If I did, I would've returned you to your family, right? Your... real family."
"Yeah. That's right."
"Do you remember anything when you look at that temple thing?"
"No. Just pure guilt. And the smell of milk and honey. I get these... visions. Terrible visions. They make me feel so guilty, and even though I forget those pictures in an instant, the guilt doesn't go away. Actually, mom..."
"What is it, honey?"
"I'm glad that I forgot who I was. I'm glad that I met you, the hammer-loving Riku, and the dual-personality Kai."
"Horushi... Are you done eating now?"
"Yes, mom." After eating his fifteen pickle burgers, he drank all of the orange juice in the huge jug they brought.
"Let's go for a walk, shall we? After all, tomorrow's Saturday. No school."
Horushi and Georgina cleaned up their place and walked by the road.
"Horushi, why not take a walk up that temple thing? You know, burn some fat."
"I wanna gain some fat -_-"
The two walked up the tomb's long staircase (almost 7,107 meters high).
"Horushi..." Georgina said.
"Mom, do you notice that every conversation between us that starts with you always begins with my name?"
"Yeah. I've noticed that right now. Anyway, there's something important that I must tell you."
"MOM! How dare you court your own adoptive son! And to think of our age gap!"
"Horushi, that's not it!"
"Oh."
"Look, this tomb - This tomb is where I found you!"
"That kinda awakens some memories."
"You're not surprised at all that I just found you all alone in this old and creepy tomb with no memories at all?"
"Nah. Not really."
"Why not."
"Only girls get surprised."
"Okay... Oh! And you were naked, too."
"WHAT?!"
"Don't worry, I'm a really nice person :)"
"My life is over... T.T"
Saya: You just love making fun of the characters, don't you?
Yes. Yes, I do.
"Well, that's not the whole story."
"O.o"
Georgie and Horushi quickly grabbed two chairs that came out of nowhere and sat down.
"A long, long - not so long - time ago, I was in this war thing. And I was awesome. And yeah, all of a sudden, you just went - "
"Went what?"
"Uh..."
"Well?"
"NO SPOILERS!" they heard Riku's voice all the way from home.
"Okay, so let's just skip that part. Some dying girl gave you as my responsibility. So I took you home, but you were sleeping for like, decades so I decided to keep you in this tomb."
"Oh."
"Well... That's not just it... You see, back then, I still had a family. A real family. We were bound by blood, not like how we are now."
"What happened to your family."
"They kinda died 'cause there was this car, and I was the driver. I saw a little boy in the middle of the road. I avoided him, but the hobo's mother came in and tried to save the boy. I could've avoided him, but since she was already in the middle of the road, I turned the wheel real hard and we spun 7.24 times in the speed of 30 kph. I hit a wire post and it was bloody."
"I'm getting hungry. What happened next?"
"They died. I was supposed to be imprisoned for it, but the police said that some anonymous man gave them something in exchange of my freedom."
"Ooh... Bribery..."
"Never do bribery, son. NEVER do bribery."
"Yes, mom."
"I became completely depressed and tried to attempt suicide in this tomb."
"How?"
"I was actually planning to wake you up and die in your hands, but I thought for a few moments and cancelled the suicide."
"Why?"
"Alarm clocks don't work on you."
"LIAR!" an unknown voice yelled from the sky.
"Who was that?" Horushi asked.
"Oh. You heard it, too?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"I thought only aveses can see or hear those kind of things."
"Aveses?"
"Never mind."
" :| "
"Okay, so your heartbeat told me that I can still live without my former family, so I adopted Kai and Riku. Soon, you woke up but with amnesia and blah, blah, blah."
"Wait-"
"Okay, I've finished telling you the story so let's go!"
"But-"
"Butts are for pooping!" Georgie grabbed Horushi's arm and began running down the stairs.
"But mom! I don't understand why we have to run!"
Georgie didn't answer. And although home is like, really far away, they just ran, hesitating to ride a bus or something.
End of chapter.
Kai: That's it?
Be quiet, Kai, I'm gonna partly reveal a really weird secret.
Kai: But you just said that the chapter has ended.
I AM GOING TO PARTLY REVEAL A REALLY WEIRD SECRET.
Kai: But-
Butts are for pooping. And this line isn't original. I got it from Adventure Time :D
Awesome show. Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time
Kai: This is Blood+, not Adventure Time.
I'm not telling a fanfic about it, I'm just mentioning its name. THAT'S ALL.
Saya: Okay, guys, stop arguing. Ecspyred, you may continue.
Thank you, Saya.
THE PARTLY REVELATION OF A REALLY WEIRD SECRET
[Georgie's POV]
Kai: Ooh! A POV!
[Ecspyred is unable to reply because she is no longer the narrator in this part of the chapter]
SLAM!
I slammed the door behind me... Which was obvious because I said slam.
"Darn it..." I whispered to myself. I couldn't talk very loud. My lungs were too tired from running non-stop for two kilometers.
That was a close call, wasn't it, Georgie?
Ugh. Not him. No, no. He can't hurt me. He can only speak to me. That's all.
I can't believe that Chiropteran heard me! Tsk, tsk, I really am such a klutz...
This guy is really getting in my nerves.
"What is wrong with you?!" I yelled. "Why can't you just leave me alone?!"
Aw... C'mon, Georgie. I was just having a little fun.
"Leave me alone!" I jumped to bed and covered my ears with my pillows... Which obviously won't work 'cause this guy is psychic.
You know that I can't, Georgie... Although the transformation is complete, you're still one of us...
No... Please, no...
A Cavidae...
