Quest for the Vampire! Part 3

---命がけで, 全力を尽くして... FOR DEAR LIFE...---

As everybody was inside the tomb, some people weren't so surprised that there were two skeletons, or the blood all over the place. Liz was really freaked out at the sight of everything, though.

"Whaaaaa~ IT'S SO SCARY!" Liz cried.

"Li~iz, what about the mall?" Patty said in her childish voice.

Then Liz wasn't scared.

Everyone, though, was surprised that even the INSIDE was completely covered in ice. The skeletons even looked like ice cubes, but bones in them, and the bloodied floor was REALLY slippery.

Just so slippery that Black*Star fell about 16 times and got a nosebleed on the 10th one.

After a long walk down a long hallway, the team found a pedestal with an orb on it. The orb looked as if it was cloaked in sapphire-colored silk, and its glow was like the moon.

"Doesn't it remind you of a fishy?" Patty asked very hyperly.

"What?" everybody except Patty scolded, even though it wasn't a command? I like the word.

"Um, it's blue. Like a FISHY!"

"…"

"WELL! WHATEVER! THE ORB LOOKS EXPENSIVE! LET'S SELL IT ON EBAY!!!!!" Black*Star shouted with $ eyes.

"No, wait Black*Star! You might-"Tsubaki exclaimed as Black*Star reached out to the orb, but she got cut off by something.

Tsubaki had fear in her eyes when she got cut off. Everybody wondering why the heck she looked so scared, Maka asked Tsubaki: "Tsubaki-chan, what is it?"

"H-he's r-r-right th-there…"

"Who's right WHERE?" Soul asked, very confused.

But once Soul said that, the fear on Tsubaki's face faded into a regular expression.

"Oh…" Tsubaki said as the fear got washed away, "I think this place is playing tricks on my mind…"

"Well, whatever it was, it's gone, right Tsubaki-chan?" Maka asked with a happy smile.

"Y-yeah…"

"Um, guys," Black*Star said with the orb in his hands.

"BLACK*STAR! PUT THAT THING DOWN!!!" Maka shouted I his ear, making it bleed.

"But, the orb's glowing even BRIGHTER…"

"Huh? Let me see!" Kid yelled as he pushed Maka and Black*Star out of the way.

But he completely forgot about the glowing.

"Ahhhh, it's so symmetrical…." The Shinigami said in awe.

Sometimes, my favorite characters are BAKAS…

"HEY! GIVE THAT BACK!" Black*Star scolded Kid as he started to try and rip it out of his hands.

"Wait, it was started to glow even brighter!" Maka exclaimed with amazement. "I'll see what happens when I touch it along with you guys…"

The orb started to glow REALLY bright.

"Whoa~ that doesn't look like a fishy like before." Patty said while joining the 'holding the orb' team.

It started to glow really, REALLY bright.

"Let's see what happens when we put all our hands together on the orb! It'll be fun!" Liz exclaimed with a joyous tone.

Tsubaki joined her and they touched the orb. Almost blinding blue light filled the dark cave.

"Soul, what are you doing?" Maka asked, very annoyed.

"It sounds lame. I'm not doing some stupid friendship moment." He responded even more annoyed more than Maka.

"It feels like something will happen if you do! I feel it in my blood!"

Soul sighed with a weak smile. "Okay, fine. But nothing'll happen."

Soul joined his hand with the others and then the orb started glowing so bright, it was blinding.

"Ah, MY EYES!!!" Black*Star's voice was heard screaming.

"SOMETHING HAPPENED! HA!" Maka's voice was heard teasing Soul.

"OH, SHUT UP, FLAT-CHEST!" Soul's voice was heard responding to Maka's taunt.

"WHAT DID YOU-"

The light from the orb was pretty bright.

Everyone fell because of it, since nobody could see a thing!

"Soooooo…" Soul said, very irritated, "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah." Everyone but Black*Star replied.

"What about Black-"

Black*Star was on the ground, foaming by the mouth.

"BAKA."

"Hey, who's that?" Maka asked looking at an area where the pedestal was.

"Who's-" Tsubaki said as she looked at where Maka was looking.

There, in the front of the pedestal, was a boy. He was in seated with his face in his knees.

He had grayish blue hair, long bangs - the bangs were so long it covered the left side of his face, he had weird clothing, and he only had plain white socks on his feet. He didn't look up at everybody else.

"H-hey, you're…" Tsubaki stuttered.

If a dream, or a nightmare, came true, how would you react? Well, Tsubaki didn't feel very happy. Do you think she's happy?
