Nikki Heat would crack her head open when she fell. Before her head smashed open, one giant hit against the ground, Daisuke appeared catching Nikki with one hand. Daisuke looked so dashing. Nikki was mesmerized.

" There you are, ma'am. Let's get you covered."

Daisuke span Nikki around. He pulled out a folded dresses from his pants, stretched it into a giant dresser for Ichiro not to see. When Daisuke folded the dresser Nikki was wearing a different set of clothes. Daisuke's mom, Kanako, she
was wearing her black gown with red strings, a black pinafore with a white cloth hanging from her collar. Her cheeks were also pink just like his mothers.

" There. What do you think?"

Nikki looked at her clothes. She didn't like them. They were clothes an old lady would wear, but when she looked at how GORGEOUS Daisuke was she just didn't care.

" He's so gorgeous…I love it!"

" Glad to hear. *cough* Trouble in the kitchen."

Daisuke pat Nikki on her pinafore before walking into the kitchen. Nikki covered her cheeks. His hands were so warm. He didn't know what kind of lotion he put on them, or she was just delusional because she found him attractive, but his hands made her giddy.

Daisuke saw Rina. She was standing in front of the door of the kitchen. The kitchen looked like a warzone. The equipment was destroyed, everything was covered black, and steam was burning from the equipment. There was an explosion. He saw Yui with her hair all fuzzy in a large afro, her cheeks were covered in dirt, and her hands were black.

" Yui, again. How many times have I told you not to use dynamite in the kitchen?"

Daisuke stepped on a piece of paper. Looking down he saw it wasn't burned. Daisuke picked up the paper, folded it, and shoved it into his jeans.

" I couldn't help it, Daisuke. I'm going to be in college soon and I don't have time to think about cooking."

A frying pan fell from the rack. An entire window of glass shattered before Daisuke's eyes.

" I see. Make sure too clean this mess up.

" Wouldn't it be easier just to buy a new kitchen?"

" I'm afraid we don't have the money for it."

Daisuke tossed Yui a broom and a dustpan. He turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Standing beside the door was Yui playing on her banjo. Before her parents gave her a guitar she was giving a banjo. She stopped however when she felt Daisuke's eyes staring at her, and when she turned around there he was staring at her.

" You too, Rena, help Yui."

" What? Why?"

" You were there before the explosion went off. You should have stopped Yui."

" How did you—"

" I have camera's in this house everywhere."

Daisuke tossed a broom to Rena. Daisuke was lobotomized. He had no feelings when it came to people. When he mastered how to do something he would move on to something else, such as women, machines and books. He walked back to the front door where he was greeted by the Italian face.

" Pardon the incursion, Mr. Bianchi. Can we continue this tour upstairs?"

" Mamma-Mia. What a grand idea."

Mr. Bianchi acted like he knew his way around the house. He walked up the stairs where the residents' rooms were. Daisuke followed Mr. Bianchi up the stairs, but stopped after three steps.

" One of you wake Ian up."

Daisuke walked up the whole flight of stairs. The only one who went for Ian was his friend Goro. Ichiro reached his hands out over Nikki's left shoulder and pulled himself towards her.

" So, you want to carry our conversation upstairs, Nikki?" Ichiro said. Ichiro smelled Nikki's hair. Most girls would be mottled if a man acted like that, but Nikki didn't even notice Ichiro. She was too busy fantasizing about Daisuke. "
Peach body oil. Greatest smell in the world."

In Nikki's imagination she is working on a farm with Daisuke. They have a cornfield outside where they grow their crops. Daisuke would cook for her, he would get all sweaty for her, and he would lick her ear. When things got so hot
their daughter, who's name she hadn't picked out yet, would come outside carrying a small glass of water and serve it too them…One big happy family.

" He's so gorgeous."

Daisuke led Mr. Bianchi to his luxurious room. Daisuke spent two hours cleaning the dust, put away the cranks, the bolts, his Chemistry Set, and opened the windows to let the fresh air in. It was now just a room with a big table. Birds
were chirping through the windows, the smell of coffee brewing filled the air, and it was bright from the sunlight.

" What a glorious room," said Mr. Bianchi. " Is this your room?"

" Yes," said Daisuke who held his right hand on his left shoulder. " It's my laboratory. Science is my substratum. And it's one of my best friends. Counting it I have a total of five friends."

Mr. Bianchi walked up to the table. He noticed a large board and pieces like in Chess. But these piece's had one-eyed monkey's, humanoid bison's carrying axes, and crocodile's with the bodies of hyena's. There were all kinds of animal hybrids.

" Mamma-Mia. What's this?"

" It's a game. I call it Shinu. The rolls are simple. It's a board game and card game. In this game we are both Cepter's. Cepters are beings that have the innate ability to use magical cards to summon creatures, cast spells, and perform
various other feats of wizardry. There are fifty cards in each deck. Although the game is relatively intricate, it slowly nurtures the player through the basic game concepts. By acting as an arbiter and automatically enforcing the
rules, the game complexity is kept to manageable levels. "

Daisuke reached into the board and pulled out a piece shaped like a wizard. He was holding four wizards in fact. One was blue, another was green, the third one was red and the fourth one was yellow. He threw them on the board. When they
fell they stood upright like the board was made of magnets.

" Chance is also in this game as well mana. We roll a six-sided dice. Whichever number we land on that one turns up. It's similar to Monopoly. We can pay mana to summon creatures in that square. The first one to lose all their energy dies."

" Die? Oh, do you mean lose?"

" Not quite. In Eastern Front, nineteen forty-two to forty three in May the Germans defeated the Soviet offensives in the Kerch Peninsula. The Soviets decided to make their stand at Stalingrad which was in the path of the advancing German armies. The German's suffered tremendous losses. In a game we can just reset and try, try again. In war when you lose you die."
