Daisuke sighed then convinced himself to follow both of the girls.
"I've noticed there was something weird about this tree," Kano started as she stood in front of a particular tree. "I was planning on exploring it one day but whenever I got the chance to my mother would always find me and bring me home. I don't think she knows about the tree though."
"So what you're trying to say is you want me and Daisuke to go exploring this creepy place with you?" Haruka responded after a minute or so of thinking.
"Exactly. I'm unsure on how to open it though. It seems that there is some sort of special lock on the opening..." Kano trailed off thinking.
Haruka shoved Daisuke. "You go try it."
With a sigh, Daisuke did as he was told. After about a minute or so the lock was unlocked. "That wasn't so hard."
Kano, who was now speechless, looked from Daisuke to the lock then back at Daisuke and so forth. "How did you do that?"
"He's the brains of the family Kano. Of course he would be able to unlock it," Haruka replied as she started opening the hatch with Daisuke and Kano close behind.
"Do you have any idea of what's down here?" Daisuke finally questioned.
"No not really," Kano responded. "To be honest I'm kinda scared to see what's gonna happen."
"Good to know," Haruka screeched.
"Haruka calm down," Daisuke immediately spat out. "We'll be fine."
"I don't think so," Kano quickly replied as she started backing up.
"What do you—" Haruka started when suddenly red threads tied up each kid immediately.
"Let 'em rip!" Someone yelled but none of the kids were able to see the person who yelled for the red thread emitted red flashes of lightning shocking the kids.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" screamed Haruka, Daisuke, and Kano.
Once the red lightning faded all three kids were knocked out. With blood dripping anywhere and everywhere they were dragged to a cell and remained there.
"Kisho find out who they are!" screeched the same person who captured the kids.
"Yes Master Hitoshi," responded Kisho. After about five minutes or so Kisho explained "The two that look alike are twins. They are the children of Ryūko Matoi and Senketsu. The other girl is the daughter of Satsuki Kiryūin and an unknown man."
Hitoshi smirked. "Matois and a Kiryūin eh? Excellent. Never thought they would have kids but whatever. All that I know is they ain't returning home for a while."
"Well we should start going home now," Ryūko stated as she stood up and looked out the window. "Hold on where are the kids?"
Senketsu stood up following Ryūko's gaze. "Yeah where are they?"
"They should be out there..." Satsuki replied as she started walking towards the door.
"Then how come we don't see them?" Ryūko's voice started to crack nervously as she ran out the door with Senketsu and Satsuki right behind her.
"Ryūko calm down we'll find them," Senketsu stated.
"I do believe I might know where they are," Satsuki finally said.
"Where then?!" Ryūko screeched looking every direction every second.
"Just follow me," Satsuki responded as she ran towards the tree with the open hatch. "Uh oh I think they went down..."
"No joke!" Ryūko and Senketsu both yelled. "We have to go find them!" Without any thought, Ryūko was the first to jump through the hatch followed by Senketsu and the Satsuki.
Notes: Hitoshi = even-tempered; level
Kisho = one who knows his own mind
