Rajak blinked at the message in his phone.

": - )?"

What is this code? He thought blankly. Might it be a hidden message?

"I, Rajak Kertia, greet the Lord." He went down on one knee and placed his fist at his breast.

"You may rise."

Rajak straightened up slowly, waiting for his turn to speak.

"Why is it that you have requested an audience so suddenly?" inquired the figure sitting on the tall throne. "You may speak."

"Lord, I ask permission to venture into the human world." He replied, "I have received an urgent message from Gejutel-nim. He bid me to come at once in 3 days time."

"Gejutel…?"

"Yes, Lord. From his message, it seems that he is in need of my assistance."

"If that is the case, you must go at once."

"I hear and obey."Rajak bowed his head. "But that is not all, Lord." He rummaged in his pocket and took out his cellphone. "I feel I must show the Lord this secret code from his message."

"You may approach the throne." The Lord commanded. Rajak ascended the steps and presented the gadget to the Lord.

": - )..? What is this?" The lord gazed curiously at the small screen.

"I cannot be sure," Rajak admitted. "But it is apparent that it must be intended as a warning to us."

The phone suddenly vibrated in the Lord's hand. "! ! !" Her eyes widened at the bubble head that popped up on the screen.

"Lord?" Rajak looked up.

"This… object…" She lifted one eyebrow at the said item, "It sends instant letters?"

Rajak had arrived earlier than he expected. At once, he strode towards the Living Room where he found the Clan Leader, sipping a cup of coffee. "I, Rajak Kertia, meet the Clan Leader of Landegre."

"Rajak," he looked up from his cup. "What brings you here? Has the Lord sent you?"

The blonde man gave him a blank stare. "I have received your urgent message and made haste here."

"What message?" the older man asked, clearly puzzled. He lifted his hands to his chin and stroked stroked his beard absently. "I don't remember sending any letter."

"I received your message with this." He pulled out his cellphone showed it to him.

"Ahhh." Gejutel's face brightened. "My phone is currently not in my possession."

"Then who…?"

"Rajak!" an excited voice called from the door. Karias bounded into the room and glided towards him. "Good. Good." He nodded. "You are here."

Rajak turned in his direction and froze as the Blerster Clan Leader approached him and patted his shoulder several times.

"Brother? What are you doing here?" Rael entered room, a cloth covering his face and a duster in one hand. "Is there something wrong?"

"Call me clan leader. " He answered automatically. His eye moved from the cellphone to Karias' eager face, comprehension slowly dawning on him.

"I lent my phone to Karias, since he is temporarily employed here." Gejutel confirmed his suspicions.

"Yes, Yes." Karias nodded enthusiastically. "Such amazing technology! It is not even a day, but you are already here! Humans are such ingenious creatures!" He flipped his hair and laughed loudly.

Rajak gazed impassively at the boisterous man, willing himself to show no emotion. "What was it you needed my help with?" he asked.

"It is a tragedy!" Karias moaned. "The school will be holding a dance at the end of the month and it is only now that I was informed. I have nothing to wear!" He sighed and placed a palm to his forehead- the picture of utmost despair on his face.

"I will take my leave now," He bowed to the Landegre clan leader and swiftly strode towards the door.

"Ah, Rajak! Where are you going?" Karias called out to him. He quickly moved to block him from leaving.

"Stand aside."

The other man thought quickly to think of any argument or excuse to make him stay. "I will buy that black apron you wanted!"

"I refuse."

The Kertia Clan Leader swerved around him to the door. His hand was just reaching out to open it when Karias blurted out, "-with matching black gloves!"

Rajak turned slowly, his hand frozen in place. Karias was wearing a knowing smile.

"Fine." He huffed.

Karias beamed at him and directed him back towards the sofa. "I was thinking a navy blue suit would suit my complexion.. Don't you think?... Or would grey be more safe?...Then a silver tie- No. Maybe red?... Then new shoes..cufflinks.. Are you listening to me?.. Rajak...? Rajak…?"

Rajak and Karias left a while ago, the determined Landegre Clan Leader going with them. Rajak had mentioned in passing about the Lord's curiosity about portable phones, Gejutel quickly made up his mind to buy one for his Master at once.

This left Rael all alone in the house. He took advantage of the lack of bodies in order to clean more thoroughly.

"What is this School Dance..?" he mused to himself. "Why would Karias-nim want to go to such an event with humans?"

There were few Dances in Lukedonia, but he did not concern himself with attending such pointless affairs (Seira always declined his invitations).

But this Dance at the school…where Seira goes to… with human males… which he doesn't attend…

Suddenly, a picture of Seira in another man's arms came unbidden into his mind.

*crack*

The glass on the coffee table he was wiping shattered into a million pieces. To his horror, just at that moment, the trio of enhanced walked in through the front door.

The trio had similar looks of horror as they saw the shards of glass on the floor. Funnily enough, they also had the same thought in their heads. They only had 1 hour before everyone gets home.

Tao began shouting orders. "Rael, clean up that mess. You two, get that table out of here and dispose of it, the farther away, the better. He took out his laptop and flipped it open, typing furiously at the web browser,his other hand holding the phone to his ear.

Tao had just finished laying out the new table when Takeo and M-21 came back from throwing out the old one.

"That looks almost exactly like the original one." Takeo observed.

Tao hummed, pleased with the praise. "Let's just hope that nobody notices it, especially the Boss."

Rael fidgeted nervously in the background. He cleared his throat loudly. "I-"

"No need to apologize or thank us." Tao beamed at him.

"W-what!?" he sputtered. "Who said I would do such a thing?!"

"You weren't?" said the hacker. "After all we went through?" M-21 could be seen smirking at his back.

Rael huffed. He was just about to turn his back when he heard the door opening.

"Why are you all standing around here?" Frankenstein addressed them. He crossed to the Kitchen but suddenly halted in his tracks. His eyes narrowed at the coffee table.

"Rael."

*flinch* "Yes?" he gulped.

"You did this…?" Frankenstein gazed fixedly at the furniture.

Rael nodded slightly, his throat closing up on him.

"Good job." Frankenstein smiled. "I don't know what you used, but that table looks good as new."


A/N: dedicated to Maya, who asked about Rajak. Good thing too, as I didn't have any idea what else to write. So it kind of grew from there. Follow to see what happens next as events lead up to the School dance! Hihi.

Suggestions are welcome! I'm not really sure what will happen, actually. I have a bunch of fics I'm still writing, so I haven't finalized anything yet.
