So, I still don't own Nabari No Ou, I almost did but then my computer crashed and the pen ran out of ink so…At least I own our seven orphans and this story! Happy New Year everyone! This is my first update, YEAH! XD

So short chapter is short but I think it's enough. I rewrote the beginning twice so hopefully it's suitable. Enjoy and R&R, please.

The drive to a nearby super market hadn't taken to long but the three lucky children were bursting with silent excitement the closer they grew to their destination. Huddled in the backseats they began to silently whisper excitedly.

"What's a grocery store?" Shi asked curiously.

"A large building, usually, that has many items such as food and clothing that one may buy if they have the correct currency." Hydrangea stated with a slightly stoic far off look. "You can buy many useful things."

Yuu lit up like a Christmas tree, eyes gleaming with a silent mischief and a small smirk had found its way onto his lips. "Useful items you say?" Hydrangea and Shi looked away as he began to lightly chortle under his breath.

Yukimi pulled into an available spot, beating another car to it with only seconds to spare. With a triumphant smirk he pulled the keys from the ignition and opened the door to step out. He was half way to the door when he remembered the children in the backseat.

He opened the door, "Well, are you coming or not?"

They piled out, staying close to Yukimi as they crossed the parking lot. People bustled around them with shopping carts or plastic bags some even carrying larger items. Upon entering Yukimi grabbed a cart and would have continued if Yuu hadn't pulled on his sleeve.

"What?"

Yuu closed his eyes and pointed at the cart's seat and then to Shi who was staring at a crane machine, more importantly the prizes inside of it. Yukimi tried to put two and two together but Hydrangea had already taken it upon herself to scoop the small child up. "Place her in the seat. Shi is likely to get lost."

With a grunt he strapped her in, ignoring the employee staring at them strangely. Yukimi just walked further into the large crowded building. "Whoa, this place is massive!" Yuu said with a low whistle. He glanced at all the signs he could see before one in particular caught his eye.

Yukimi stalked down the aisles, pulling an assortment of food items into the cart, unawares as Shi and Hydrangea added a few other things. Yukimi did catch on as the cart grew heavier than he knew it should have been. Shi looked at the ceiling where a stray balloon had gotten stuck, swinging her legs back and forth softly in the picture of innocence. Hydrangea studied a box of cereal silently, pretending not to notice anything.

"Why the hell are there seven boxes of cookies in here?"

Both didn't look at him, one smiled sheepishly and the other was too intent on studying a box.

"Girls, its best you tell the truth." A dark aura glowed around the annoyed blonde.

"Our group loves cookies."

"I'm only buying one." He picked up the boxes, planning to place them on a random shelf when a small crackling sound caught his attention.

"Yuu seems to have found them." Hydrangea looked at Yukimi as Shi giggled.

"When the hell did he leave!"

"Five minutes ago."

"You two, stay here and don't move." He departed just as a light show started.

"Yuki doesn't look happy." Shi looked at Hydrangea with worry.

"If he hasn't gotten rid of us yet then there's a chance he won't now."

"Will Yuu be OK?"

"For now."

"…"

"…"

"We should help."

"Indeed."

Yuu glanced up from his hiding spot, he didn't see the employees. Brilliant, his diversion had served its intended purpose. Now to get back to the others and leave before security spotted him again. With a devious glint in his eyes he started walking amongst the crowded aisles once again.

"There you are!" He froze as his feet no longer touched the ground. He looked up feeling relief when he saw it was only-

Oh dear God.

Yukimi stalked through the aisles with Yuu tucked under his arm, angrily ranting to himself about trouble-making kids and…taxes? It was silent between the two for three aisles.

"Shit, I told them to stay put." Yukimi cussed when he noticed the cart and two children were missing.

"They probably went to make sure you didn't throttle me." He went silent as Yukimi cast his glare at him.

The blonde stalked through the aisles again with Yuu right on his heels, both searching for two people who should have stood out what with one having white hair and the other having violet-hyacinth hair.

Both froze when an employee yelled from behind them. "I found the kid!"

Yukimi and Yuu shared one look before they broke out in a run. Employees began to chase them through the aisles, people moved as they ran past, Yukimi even kicked a stand made out of cans which caused a few of their pursuers to trip and fall. "Nice!" Yuu called as they fled into the animal department.

They hid behind a cat palace, crouching down as the employees searched for them. Yuu turned to Yukimi, "So, what's the plan?"

"We need to find the other two."

"I have a feeling I know where they are." Yuu stated, "Probably near the exit in the back, where the fire alarm is."

Yukimi was quiet, mauling it over before smirking, "I like it."

"But how are we going to get there?" Yuu asked, peeking over the side, "They're everywhere."

Yukimi smirked with confidence as he spotted an abandoned cart.

Hydrangea stood near the back exit calmly as she quickly readjusted her hair clip. Glancing up she spotted Yukimi running full speed towards her with Yuu placed in the cart, holding a golf club. She turned to Shi and nodded before going to hold the door open as the latter pulled the fire alarm and ran to join her.

Yukimi ran through the open door, coming to a halt and placing Yuu on the ground before they all bolted towards his car. They strapped themselves in as people swarmed from the building in a panic. Yukimi put the car in reverse, nearly backing into another car, and drove out of the parking lot.

"Well that was fun, huh!" Yuu stated excitedly before sweat-dropping at the glares he received.

"What the hell was that back there?" Yukimi asked angrily, all that time and he hadn't bought anything.

"Don't worry Yuki! Here, this' for you!" Yukimi glanced/glared at the cookie Shi offered before turning around. "Where did you get that?"

"You bought them." Hydrangea stated while indicating the box that sat on her lap. "The rest is in the trunk."

"THE ROAD, BLOODY HELL, WATCH THE ROAD!" Yuu shrieked and Yukimi glanced back at the road, swerving around another car and stopping at the red light. "Explain. Now."

"This was not the first time we have had to formulate an escape plan."

"Did you get the video cameras?" Yuu asked but it sounded calm like he was asking if it would rain tomorrow. Hydrangea closed her eyes and picked up a cookie, "Of course," before biting into it.

"Don't worry Yuki we'll be better behaved next time!" Yukimi glanced at Shi then at the road, Yuu continued to gloat and Hydrangea remained silent, only poking at his ego when needed.

"Wait, where's my wallet?" Yukimi dug through his pocket where it should have been. Hydrangea passed it to him from the back seat along with a receipt, "We bought only what was in the cart."

He glanced at the total, nearly swerving off the road. "There's nothing on here!"

"We carried it out the back. Shi got the bags." Hydrangea stated, "We did the peanut butter though."

Yukimi just looked at them before looking back at the road, "Tell me what happened from the beginning."

"We decided to help since Yuu often does get carried away. Shi bought the peanut butter as a diversion. I alerted the censors as Shi grabbed some bags. We went to the other entrance and walked out while they were distracted before re-entering the store and heading to the fire exit. From there everything was child's play." Hydrangea gave Shi another cookie, "I suggest we don't go back to that store for a long time."

Yukimi was silent, mauling over the information in his head as he drove back to his apartment to put the food away. The children helped, asking where certain things went but all in all it went smoothly. Everything was put away and it all fit, mostly. Now he just had to go pick up the remaining children.

They all rode to the house in relative silence.

The peace was shattered when they opened the gate.

The others ran, asking how grocery shopping went and what it was like. Yukimi nearly didn't make it to the porch alive. Hanabusa and Tobari looked down at him with slight surprise. "Oh my, what happened?"

So he explained it all, how Yuu had gone off and how Hydrangea and Shi had carried out a plan, the explanation Hydrangea gave him, and how he ended up with hundreds of dollars worth of food but only bought peanut butter.

"They're not ordinary children." He finally stated.

"Yukimi, this just may be how they've lived." Hanabusa finally replied as she poured him some tea. "Watch them closely and listen to them."

After ten minutes Yukimi and the seven children left, the latter waving at the couple and some even hugged Hanabusa and threw an insult at Tobari.

"You didn't tell him about what happened here?" Tobari looked at his girlfriend who lightly frowned.

"No, these children are special and it's up to Yukimi. Hopefully no harm comes to them."

Tobari looked out at the yard, fire scorched the ground in one area, cats were seated on top of the fence, and some of the grass was uprooted. He felt slightly bad for Yukimi but he could handle himself, hopefully.
