bonbon: The eleventh chappie! Yeah!

Ember: She doesn't own anything.

bonbon: Oh! My new story's up now. It's called Poltergeist Report: The Amercan Spirit Detective. I hope you enjoy that one as much as you do this one.

Ember&bonbon: Enjoy!

"Oh, come on Riu. What is it?" I ask excitedly my eyes slipping open a crack. Riu's face pops into view, blocking the rest of the world.

"Shut those eyes." He orders for the millionth time.

"But I want to see." I whine as we Riu continues to drag me along through the woods after ordering to shut my eyes. He told me it would thicken the suspense. He knows I hate suspense or surprises. Shuichi chuckles at me from somewhere in front.

"Riu-" I begin.

"No." He says firmly. I could feel my face go into full on pout mode.

"I swear you have absolutely no patience, what so ever." I grin at him. This will be the best surprise you've ever had. Riu's words echo through my head. It had better be, I think sourly. I trip over another branch, but Riu catches me.

"I hate this!" I scream as he helps me stand up properly.

"I know but we're almost there. Be a little more patient." I sigh as we continue walking. We had been walking for what seemed like hours and my legs were beginning to shake from the overexertion. We come to an immediate stop. I look around my eyes still closed shut.

"Are we there yet?" I ask excitedly. Riu chuckles.

"No Saski." He says. I could hear the smile in his voice. "Do you want me to carry you?" He asks resting his hands on my waist. I puff out my chest and shake my head.

"No! I have two legs don't I." I shout at him. Even though my legs were tired, I refuse to be carried like some two-year old.

"Well to bad." He says lifting me up bridal style. I squeak in surprise.

"Riu!"

"I'm sorry Saski, but you can't know the way."

"Way where?" I ask my curiosity peeked. I feel his breath on my ear as leans in.

"Our old hideout." He whispers mysteriously. I gasp and open my eyes to stare into his.

"Really?" I ask. I could just imagine my eyes shining. Riu looks down at me and chuckles.

"Yes. Now close those eyes." He says rubbing his nose against mine. I squeak closing my eyes. "Good girl."

"Riu?"

"Yes?"

"Why would you need a hideout?" I ask resting my head against his chest. A silence envelopes the three of us. I could feel him nod his head. Did I say something wrong?

"Riu I'm sorr-"

"We were thieves." He says seriously. I snort accidentally. I could feel myself shake from restraining the laughter.

"Saski?" He asks stopping. I could hear the worry in his voice. I burst out laughing.

"You're just trying to scare aren't you?" I ask opening my eyes yet again, but when I look I see a brief flash of pain go through eyes.

"I didn't mean to scare you. I won't say anything like that again." He says looking forward.

"Ok." I say nodding my head and closing my eyes. My head falls onto his chest as we begin walking again. Great Saski, now you went and made him mad…or was he sad. About what though? Was it because I said that he was trying to scare with stories of them being thieves. I snuggle closer as the wind picks up slightly. Maybe I can fix this.

"Riu?" He makes a noise telling me 'I hear you'. I wince. He must be really mad. But why?!

"You used to be thieves right?" I ask cautiously.

"Yes?" He answers just as cautiously.

"Were you any good?" Riu chuckles.

"They used to call Shuichi the King of Thieves." I gasp my eyes flying open. I look over at Shuichi to see him watching us critically. He smiles at me.

"We were the best out there." Riu sighs.

"I miss the good old days."

"Why's you quit." I ask looking up at Riu.

"I died." He says wincing at the memory. I snort and look away from him.

"That right there is why I don't condone stealing." Riu tosses me in the air and catches me.

"If I remember correctly you, little missy, stole something from me." I scoff.

"I would never stoop so low. Besides steal is such a strong word, I prefer borrowing without permission and the intent on returning."

"You never did."

"I lost it, so sue me." He chuckles at me. We walk a few more feet, but stop in front of a hill. Riu places me on the ground and covers my eyes with his hands.

"No peeking." He whispers.

"It's just a big hill with vines all over it."

"And plants that could melt your bones."

"Ha. Ha, very funny. Can we go in now?"

"Shuichi has to open the door first?

"And how is Shuichi-?" I pause hearing slithering sounds. "Are those snakes?" I ask excitedly. I hear Shuichi chuckle.

"Yo! Done now fox boy?"

"What did you call him?" Riu asks.

"Um…fox boy. Is that like a buddy nickname thing? I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"

"No it's ok. I just didn't expect you to know about that name." He says suspiciously.

"Well you and the boy with the weird greasy hair always call him fox; I just thought I would go with the trend. Sorry Shuichi!" I call.

"It's ok." Shuichi says. I smile. Riu nudges me forward with his hip.

"Hey watch the hips!" Riu chuckles and nudges me again.

"Stop that!" I squeal stumbling forward and turning around. I glare at Riu's smug face.

"What if I don't want to?" He says stalking forward. I slowly walk backwards into the hill through the doorway. Wait the doorway? I pause. Turning slowly I gasp at the sight before me. I look around to see an almost castle like room. Riu walks behind me and rests his chin on my head, his arms wrapping around my waist.

"It's beautiful Riu."

"Thank you." Shuichi says walking past us. I rest my hands on Riu's arms and look at Shuichi in awe.

"How did you guys find this place?" I ask looking around at the art work on the walls and the furniture.

"Through a series of business transactions." Shuichi says walking up the huge stair case. I squeal happily and race up the stairs after Shuichi.

"You guys are the coolest."

"Saski slow down. We haven't been here in centuries-" I stop at the top and turn around to stare at him. Shuichi looks at him shocked. His face looks horrified. I smile at both of them.

"Then that would make you a pedophile." I say smugly. He looks at me shocked.

"But we've never slept togeth-" He stops seeing me grin at him. I turn around and race down a random hallway. I could hear his hurried footsteps and Shuichi's laughter following. I stop at huge black double doors. Perfect. I slowly open the door and close it, before sneaking over to the bed and crawling under. The doors burst open just as I pull my feet under. I watch his feet as they walk around the bed.

"Saski come out come out wherever you are!" He calls. I crawl to the other side of the bed just as he ducks down under. I jump on the bed. Quickly reaching over I smack his bed, slide off the bed and race out the door.

"Get back here! So I can give you your spanking!"

"Ha! Yeah right!" I yell turning around and running backwards. I slam into something. Arms wrap around my waist and I feel a mouth at my ear. I giggle and turn around.

"Riu-" I freeze seeing a horrid evil smile. "Ken." I whisper in horror, before releasing a horrible scream.

"RIU!!!!"

*Kuronue's POV*

I was walking slowly down the hall, prolonging the delicious chance when I hear her whisper my name. Huh?

"RIU!!!!" Saski's terrified voice calls out to me.

"Saski!" I yell racing in the direction of the scream. As I turn the corner a huge gust of wind knocks me off my feet.

"Riu!" Saski's voice reaches my ears. I look up to see Ken jumping through a portal with Saski over his shoulder. She reaches towards me with her hands. I race forwards and try to grab her hand, but they slip through the portal. I freeze as the portal closes. I could feel myself going numb as I fall to my knees.

"No." I whisper. "NO!" I yell slamming my fist into the ground, causing a huge crater. Kurama walks up behind me and puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

"We'll get her back." He promises." But we need the others help to find them." I look up at him and nod my head. Standing up I look at the last spot she was. I'll get you back, I promise her before racing after Kurama back to human world.
