Hey guys! I am back! Sorry, just this is the least updated story of mine and the reviews im getting are like a wakeup call for me to update soon.. There will be part where a song would be playing, so you can listen to it, it's called 'Makes me wanna Die' By the 'Pretty Reckless'.

So I love you guys and without further annoyance, here is the next chapter:

Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan or any of the characters mentioned below.

Dan's POV

3 weeks since Runo was missing

6 weeks since she last was seen by her friends

Months since I had seen her

And that might be the last I saw her

"No Dan, she is fine!" I shouted to myself as I ran my fingers through my hair anxiously.

It's your entire fault Dan

You should have kept her safe

Away from danger, in your arms

These dangerous thoughts again filled my mind as I tried to push them away

'I didn't know she would be in danger! On the contrary, I thought she would be safe away from me!' I replied to my imaginary foe in my head, when suddenly I saw her.

Her hair cascading down her back, her innocent face, her sad smile,

"How can I be safe without you?" she whispered, her eyes glossy.

"Runo" I mumbled, my hands trying to reach out to her, but before I could touch her, she was gone.

Like smoke fading away.

"I should say Daniel, this might be exactly how Runo used to feel whenever you left her" Drago suddenly said popping out of nowhere.

Being used to such appearances by Drago, I simply shuffled myself towards him.

"But that was different! She knew where I was!" I protested,

"She did? Because I am sure she had no clue about Gundalia, or Nethia, OR "

"Okay, fine" I interjected, "But she did know that I would come back!"

Drago chuckled, interrupting me, "Dan, she probably spent every minute of the day praying that you would be alive!"

And that was it.

He made it loud and clear, clear enough for every Julie to understand in the first attempt.

I sat upright on Marucho's sofa, facing the TV screen of Marucho's aeroplane.

"I get it, Runo used to feel the same every time I left her, but now I get it! And I want her back!" I said loudly, throwing my hands up in the air.

"We know Dan, and that is why we're here!" Julie exclaimed, entering the room with a luggage bag, accompanied by Alice, Shun, Marucho, Mira and Ren.

I smiled, because now I knew no matter what happens, we will definitely be able to find her with all my friends on my side.

'I'm coming for you Runo' I thought, making my way to welcome my slightly jetlagged friends into another journey of their life.

"Umm Master Dan and Master Marucho, I have received a message from an old nemesis of yours" Kato's voice spoke through the speakers.

What?

Runo's POV

"Runo, your room is a mess!" Shadow scolded in a motherly tone, I guess he han't forgiven me from my yesterdays outburst yet.

"Well your face is a mess" I protested, trying to get Shadow Prove to stop annoying me.

"Look who's talking" Shadow scoffed, while I looked at the mirror next to me. I was wearing my usual night attire, green tank-top and pink colored loose shorts, since I couldn't fall asleep in silky clothes. My hair was a complete mess, fully volumed and curled annoyingly in the ends.

"Well at least my mess is still partially attractive" I said, showcasing the clean part of my room. The only reason it was clean was because I didn't even go there yet.

"Very Funny" Shadow said with a dry laugh, "But if you don't clean your room in less than an hour, you are not getting any lunch today young lady!" He demanded.

"Shadow, are you sure you don't need to visit the drug store for some new tampons?" A husky voice said from the hallway, while I chuckled at the joke.

"Masquerade sweetie, do not get in between the conversation between me and Runo!" Shadow shouted, while Masquerade entered the room in boxers and ...

Nope, just boxers.

I gulped as I saw his six pack, while his blonde hair was tousled in every corner possible. His waistband of his boxers was hanging slightly low, so I could see the V-line on his torso, which made me wonder if I wasn't drooling by any chance.

"Oh my God Masquerade get a shirt!" Shadow shouted, slapping his eyes shut with his palms.

I, on the other hand, was shamelessly checking out his Greek God body,

He just had to take his mask off in a battle and I am more than sure every girl would willingly give their Bakugans to him... along with their skirts.

"Take a picture, it lasts longer" his husky voice filled the room,

Actually it isn't a bad idea after all.

Pushing my thoughts away, I rolled my eyes and got off of my cross legged state from my bed.

While Shadow Prove just winced at left the room in defeat, Masquerade bent down in front of me while I looked at him in surprise.

He picked up the broomstick off of the floor and got up, his hazel eyes meeting my blue ones. I drew a sharp intake of breath at our proximity.

He smirked and pushed the broom stick against my chest,

"Despite finding messiness a complete turn on, sweet cheeks, I still think you should clean your room or somebody might trip and die" He said in a hoarse tone before walking out of the room with a gait of triumph.

I sighed admiringly at how his back muscles flexed as he walked.

Wait what?

I quickly ran up to my door and slammed it shut once nobody was in sight. Pushing my back against it, I started to let my brain function again, trying to control my hormones after such a long time.

I think I am the one in need to go to that drug store Masquerade was talking about.

"What did I do every time I was tired or bothered to get my mind off of things again?" I asked myself, when a thought hit my head like a ton of bricks.

"TIGRERRA!" I shouted loudly, looking around my room in search of my Bakugan, "Where are you?" I asked loudly, hoping she was somewhere near.

"I am here mistress" Tigrerra's voice boomed through the speakers, when her face appeared through the HDTV placed across my bed.

"Where are you?" I asked, walking towards the high definition gadget.

"Oh nothing, just relaxing in the spa, did you know there is a spa here, Runo?" Tigrerra asked, as I could see steam appear from the sides of the screen Tigrerra was in.

"Well obviously now I do" I replied sardonically, "So what were you busy doing these couple of days?" I asked her, as if she was an old friend I was talking to on Skype.

"Oh nothing" she replied...

Embarrassed?

"Tigrerra, where are you, I have to show you something" I baritone of a voice spoke through the speakers, I gasped.

"Oh my God, please tell me you and Helios aren't having a 'fling'" I asked in terror.

"Fine, I won't, Runo, see you later!" She said excitedly, and suddenly the screen turned pitch black.

What is with the raging hormones these days?

Thinking that I wouldn't survive without lunch, I picked up the broomstick and placed my iPod on the speakers, letting the sounds The Pretty Reckless fill my room as I made my way to fix my bed.

As I fixed my sheets of my bed, I made my way to sweep the floors, while using the broomstick as an electro guitar. Since the song was very loud, unfortunately I didn't notice a figure watching me in amusement.

Picking all the old clothes on the floor, I kept swaying my head back and forth with the beats, while throwing them into the laundry basket.

Once Taylor Momsen started to sing, I used to top of the broomstick as a personal microphone, singing along to the song quite loudly.

'Take me, I'm alive, never was a girl with a wicked mind, but everything looks better, when the Sun goes down'

I skipped towards the other side of the room, swaying my hips as I picking up the snacks, throwing them into the trash can next to them.

'Your eyes, your eyes, I can see in your eyes, your eyes' I made a dramatic look into the mirror, looking mysterious, when I suddenly jumped on my bed, swaying my long hair back and forth.

'You make me wanna die, I'll never be good enough, you make me wanna die, and everything you love...'

I got ready to shout out loud at the ending of the chorus,

'...will burn up in the light, every time I look inside you eyes' I shouted along the song, when suddenly the song stopped, leaving me in utter silence. I gulped audibly and slowly opened my eyes to see my surroundings.

A dirty blonde haired male was standing against the wall, with an evil smirk plastered on his face.

Oh and a phone on his hand that probably recorded most part of my performance.

"You did not" I muttered in complete horror, my face turning pale.

"Oh yeah, cupcake, I. Just. Did" he replied cockily,

"Delete it now" I ordered angrily,

"Now why would I do that?" he asked, with mock thought filling his husky voice.

"Because it was an invasion of privacy is all" I replied easily, crossing my arms as I got off of my bed.

"Well, your earthling rules don't work here" He replied casually, putting his thin device into his pockets, when I realized he was wearing his normal attire that we remembered vividly all those years back.

"And where is here exactly?" I asked, scoffing.

"Come with me, I'll show you" he replied, ushering me to leave the room with him. I hesitated, but agreed, following him as he walked through the hallway of the biggest ship I had ever seen, bigger than Marucho's too actually.

Ignoring my vulnerable thoughts about my friends, I looked at masquerade, "What's with the clothing? Going down memory lane?" I asked, trying to change the amount silence in the hallway.

"Actually, yes, I was missing the old me where I was merciless and evil who used to place professionally how to destruct the planets I came across" he replied calmly, as I arched an eyebrow at him.

"And what is the difference between the old you and the updated version of you?" I asked, jokingly.

"Well, the old me would have almost killed you off in a matter of seconds" he explained, "But the new one, on the other hand, would probably be checking you out and realizing that you are too hot to die for now" he said in a husky voice, pinning me to the wall of the hallway with one of his broad arms, while snaking the other to my waist.

My heart skipped a beat.

"You know" he whispered into my earlobe, "Your singing voice is extremely hot, especially the ways you twirl that sexy little ass of yours" he said as his breath fanned my neck, leaving goose bumps all over my skin.

His eyes met mine when suddenly he leaned closer to me, his target being my lips.

I tried to get him off of me, but this part of me wanted him to continue, which was most definitely the majority of my mind, while the logical and reasonable part of me were like tiny insect with high pitched voices screaming 'stop' at the back of my mind.

Well what can I say? Majority is authority.

I snaked my arms around his neck and pulling him towards me, letting his lips crash against mine.

Oh my god.

A part of me was screaming 'The apocalypse has arrived! Runo you are giving in to a nemesis of yours'

While the other was astonished at the electricity igniting inside of me, as my stomach did back flips, my heart running wild and I continued kissing his soft, mesmerizing lips.

As wrapped my hands against his neck tighter, he let his tongue touch my lips, asked for an entrance, but before I was going to willingly open my mouth, a sound boomed through the speakers.

'Can all passengers please meet me in the common room please' Hydron's voice said, making us pull out of our trances as we inhaled sharp breathes.

I heard Masquerade curse under his breath, before leaving me petrified in the middle of the hallway.

What just happened?

A/N: Ta-Da! Okay, first off: How was it? Should I continue MasqueradexRuno? Or should I just stop there and stick to DanxRuno? Please Please Please tell me because I really don't know what you guys want! I thought maybe spice things up since this is a time she gets to now the villains better, and romance tends to happen between the good girl and the bad boy of the valley :P
