Okay so I'm gonna start out with a funny story. When Kitkat reviewed my chapter this morning I decided to be nice and give her another chapter right away since I'd already written it in the heat of the passion. Well I uploaded it seconds after she reviewed and then I forgot to post it. That was one of my finer moments. lol

This chapter is because I forgot yesterday. I'm sorry Kitkat.

Anyway as always here's a chapter and this will help explain some of the things and will leave you with a couple of questions.

Review the chapter for the next one.

Fire surrounded everything and as Hotsuma looked around at the piles of ashes, he realized he'd destroyed everything. The only thing left standing was him. He looked around panicky for Shusei but he was nowhere in sight. His breathing got heavier and he scaled the ruble to get into the top room, hoping to find Shusei there. When he finally made it, sitting there was Shusei, in the hands of Cory.

"Get off of him!" Hotsuma yelled, shocking Cory and causing him to drop the boy for a moment.

Then he glared back at Hotsuma and stood up getting into his face.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Cory yelled angrily, "You could have fucking killed him!"

"What the hell do you call what you were trying to do?" Hotsuma roared back.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Cory growled, "I only came when I heard his screams. I barely got him out before everything went up in flames!"

"You were the one trying to kill us!" Hotsuma growled, "You and that fucking white haired boy!"

Cory's eyes narrowed.

"What white haired boy?" Cory asked.

"The Adam kid!" Hotsuma yelled, enraged.

"Adam's hair is brown you dumbshit," Cory growled "If you're going to accuse someone at least get your facts straight."

Shusei thought about it for a minute and realized Cory was right. The first time they'd met the boy, his hair had been a dark brown, almost black color.

Said boy walked into the room. True to Cory's word Adam's hair was an almost black color.

"What is going on 'round here?" Adam asked, "First we get an intruder alert 'round this here area, then we run into you lot who accuse us 'a tryna kill ya'll."

Shusei's eyes narrowed and he released his weapon, slicing cleanly through Adam who looked at him in surprise before blood flooding from his mouth and he fell to his knees and then face first on the floor.

Hotsuma looked beside himself and looked over at Cory's murderous expression.

"Where is my Adam?" he asked glaring at Shusei.

"What?" Hotsuma asked confused.

"Adam has a New York accent," Shusei explained to him, "that was a Southern one."

"Then where is he?" Hotsuma asked looking confused.

"Over here," Adam, the real one said wincing in pain as the gash across his chest burned, "and we're under attack. We need to get to Nikki. Now."

"We have to get out of here," Danny said looking over at Tsukumo and Toko, "Jack will find us then we have to find Nikki. She'll know more about what's going on than us."

"How do we get out of the hole?" Tsukumo asked him.

The hole they had fallen through was about twenty feet up. Impressively high up for the house.

"I'd say we go through the hole in the wall down here," Danny said.

"What ho-?" Toko started to ask when there was a loud boom.

"That one," Danny said and looked over at a sweaty Jack.

He had a sword in his hand but there also a faint greenish glow was fading from his hand that was obviously the culprit of the explosion. He had obviously gone crazy looking for Danny. His hair was out of place and his clothes disheveled. He had sweat pouring down his face and a determined glare was plastered on his face.

"Danny," he said running over to him and pulling him close, "I couldn't find you."

"I'm alright," Danny promised, "but we have to get out of here and find out what's going on. Have you seen Nikki?"

"No," he said finally releasing the boy from his clutches and looking over at the other two.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked looking over them and noticing a few scratches covering them.

"We're okay," Toko said.

"Can't say the same from the room," Tsukumo said looking around at the destroyed room.

"Things can be replaced," Jack said, "as long as the people are okay everything is fine."

"Then let's go find Nikki and find out what's going on," Danny said straightening up and leading the way out.

"Who's up there?" the man called out loudly.

Senshirou and Kuroto held each other and didn't make a sound, hoping they would go away. Kuroto could feel the scratches the marred his skin from climbing around in the vents and as the people got closer they started to burn worse.

"Who's there?" Leslie called and hit the vent.

Senshirou buried his head in Kuroto's shoulder. They were as good as dead.

The vent was opened and they found themselves hurdling to the ground.

They hit it hard and came face to face with Leslie and a boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes.

"That's the boy from the infirmary isn't it?" the man looked over at Leslie.

Leslie shook his head in confirmation.

"What the hell are you doing crawling around in the air vents?" the man asked leaning down.

Kuroto drew his weapon making the boy jump back and Leslie growl.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Leslie hissed at them.

"You locked us in there," Kuroto said, "they might be dead because of you!"

"Who locked you where? Who's hurt?" the man said again coming closer, "What the hell happened?"

"He locked us in a room to watch them die," Kuroto said glaring at Leslie, "Don't mess with me. I know you're in on it too."

"Leslie," the man said calmly.

"Yes Logan?" Leslie asked looking thoroughly confused.

"I need you to restrain him," Logan said.

Kuroto started to swing at Leslie but he caught the weapon and tried to stop the boy from thrashing around. Senshirou released his weapon but before he could attack Leslie Logan held him back.

"Stop it!" Logan yelled, "We're trying to help you dammit!"

"You're going to kill us too!" Kuroto yelled out, growling when his hands were finally restrained.

Both boys were cuffed and unable to move.

"Now," Logan said, "I'm going to look over your cuts and you're going to tell us what the hell is going on here."

Still no word about Yuki and Luka!
