Chapter 13
The Mastermind's Plan

"Have you ever felt yourself as a target?"

Over the next few weeks, it has been peaceful. Fourth of July was awesome at the pool and there was no sign of danger. In short, it was normal. Sometimes, extraordinary. After the pool, they invited all of Mona Lisa's friends to party at their house. THe house was a trash, though. They ended up cleaning it for three hours. But it was happy.

No one knows someone is watching...from the shadows.

"Master, we have finally reached the target. He is currently living in the Hermine Mansion."a mutant platypus soldier said. The villain put his tea on his chair. He turned around and smiled. He had black hair, black eyes, a mustache, glasses, is fat and is wearing rich clothing. He stood up and went close to the platypus soldier.

"Wonderful. Now, I need more information of my arch nemesis. Learn about his secrets, learn about the Hermines...learn if he has any family."the man said.

"Yes...Master Jewis."

Then, the soldier left.

Jewis sat back on his chair, turning it towards the door.

"Ankoku. Come in."Jewis said.

Ankoku came in. She had long, black hair, black eyes, fair skin, black vest with purple streaks, black skirt with purple lines, black school shoes and a bracelet that was printed: Darkness.

"Yes father. You summoned me."Ankoku said. Jewis stood up and sighed.

"The cat is already in place. Disguise yourself as a lost girl. Once they let you stay, learn about their secrets. Every night, you shall come back and tell me. Understand?"Jewis asked.

"I understand, father."Ankoku mumbled.

"And no, you are not going to the summer dance."Jewis said. This brought Ankoku into tears. Why?

"Al...right."she mumbled, before leaving.

Jewis faced the screen and went to his contacts. He selected "Cat".

"What's the status?"Jewis asked.

"Still in the pet store. The bomb will arrive and will explode sometime around September."The cat said.

Jewis laughed.

"Good."

Then, he shut off his computer.

No one knew that behind the treasure box were pictures of him and Mikey long time ago...

"Ichi, ni, san, yon, go, ryoku, um..."

Mika was confused now. She didn't know that Japanese was that hard. Mikey tutored her but she had a hard time memorizing. It may be because of her sort attention-span but her's is far more worse.

"Nana..."Mikey said.

"Nana, hachi..."

Mikey groaned. "Kyuu, ju."

"Kyuu, ju."

"Can you recite the whole thing?"Mikey asked. "I'll try..."Mika said. She gulped.

"Ichi, ni, san, yon, go, ryoku, nana, hachi, kyuu and ju."Mika said. Mikey clapped. Mika jumped up and down, saying, "I did it! I did it!".

Then, the doorbell rang.

"It's the tutor!"Cleo exclaimed.

"Disguise yourself, fool!"Raf exclaimed. Mikey climbed up the ceiling and hid. The girls quickly changed. They wore a black and white Gothic Lolita dress, black shoes and white socks. Each had their own color of ribbon. Cleo is blue, Raf is red, Dani is lavender (instead of purple) and Mika is orange.

"Bonjour, madame."Monsieur Franciscan said.

"Bonjour, Monsieur Franciscan."The girls bowed. Monsieur Franciscan is a fine man. He had black, brown eyes, wore a black khaki suit, black, polished shoes and had the "T" sign on the sleeve of his khaki suit.

"Comment vont les choses? ("How are things?")"Franciscan asked. He had a fluent French accent but English is his third language; first to French and second to being Spanish.

"Très bien, Monsieur Franciscain. (Very good, Monsieur Franciscan)"Cleo responded.

"Et je vois Mika est de retour. (And I see Mika is back)"Franciscan said, glancing at Mika.

"Au~!"she whimpered.

Then, they entered inside the classroom.

"Qu'avons-nous discutons de la semaine dernière? (What did we discuss last week?)"Franciscan asked. Dani stood.

"Adverbes (Adverbs)."Dani said.

"Très bien, Danielle. (Very good, Danielle)."Franciscan said, writing the word "Adverbes".

While they discussed adverbs, Mikey decided to get the ice cream he made yesterday.

Quickly, he took the ice cream and put it on bread. Then, he ate it.

"This is good."Mikey said to himself, savoring the sandwich more. After that, he drank a glass of chocolate milk.

Then, he looked out the window of Mika's bedroom.

I wonder how my brothers are. I know they're happy without me. Mikey almost cried but frowned.

Ie. No. I...won't cry... Mikey thought. He locked the room, leaned on the door, sat down and cried. He tried not to cry but he had no choice.

If I
Seemed to be a demon
Then let's praise me
For a little bit

Even if blood flows when you grip
Onto my cold, white fingers

Your smiling face from the distant days
Is never to be found
But if I'm at fault
Then someday...

Please, from your heart
Hate and kill the cruel me
If wounded words decayed
And the redness that scourns this world vanishes

Please, please, please smile
And kill the cruel me

Don't grieve
If you vow to kill me
Then the shining blueness will fall upon the two of us...

Someone, please smile at me
And learn the unnoticable
I want you to grasp my fingers that tremble too much
I wonder why you're sad like this...

The song was heard next door. As much as he wanted to cover his ears, it's exactly how he feels.

Then, he cried.

Were you really… there that night?

Were you really… ever my friend?

Were you really… so scared?

Were you really… so brave?

Can you really… live with what you've done?

Game Piece:

Nothing to solve. But this game was perfect. Kyahahaha! Have you ever wondered why cats look weird with big eyes? Scary! Kyahahahaha! Pathetic pieces. I'll make him die. I'll make him lose. Just in case you don't know about me, listen, child.

I am like Michelangelo. I'm a witch. I controlled these pieces according to what I love. I'm you. I begin with an M and end with an O.

Who am I? Kyahahahahahahahahahaha!

(Hint: He is the mischievious peach boy in Japan folk tale. Mikey's name and the peach boy's name merged.)

(Hint 2: Mikey's full name when his spirit is divided. One spirit is Michelangelo but that's a part of his full name. One is the witch and one is: Miotangeliko _)
