"I just remembered, I'm not supposed to hurt girls!" He says, his eyes widening as if he couldn't believe he had forgotten. Nene could. He was just like Hanako, only evil. But…didn't that make him cuter? Tsukasa leaned in and touch her forehead. The world rippled and Nene fell asleep./span/p

Mitsuba lashed out, sending rocks tumbling over where Nene sat. In a flash, Tsukasa blasted the rocks to smithereens. "Cant have her dying on me." He chuckled, grabbing her unconscious form and floating up. "Hey!" Hanako shouted. "That's my assistant." "I know," Tsukasa smiled. "She's a catch, isn't she. Great priestess." Hanako lunged at Tsukasa with his knife, catching the fabric of his brothers clothes. "Ah, ah, ah!" The younger Yugi brother scolded. "Stop being so possessive of your things, Amane. We're brothers." Hanako scowled. "She made the bond with me, not you." Tsukasa laughed. And laughed. And laughed. Hanako leaped again, this time tripping to get Nene away from his brother. Tsukasa dodged. "You wouldn't want her to die, would you?" He said. Hanako realized that his younger brother was floating over the chasm. He gritted his teeth. "Release her, Tsukasa. She has nothing to do with this." Tsukasa did as he was told. /span/p

Into a deep chasm. So, of course, she screamed. "Hanakoooooo-kuuuuuuuuuuuun!" She shouted. Hanako caught her. But…no, that wasn't Hanako, it was the other man. "W-who are you?" She sniveled. "I'm Tsukasa! Hanako's younger brother, and the person that he killed." Wait. Hold up. Younger brother? Nene's brain spun and sloshed, dizzying her. Her head fell to the side and she fell unconscious. "Hanako!" Tsukasa shouted. "I think she died." Hanako-kun was down there in an instant. His tense shoulders relaxed when he saw her. "She isn't dead, fool. She fainted." Tsukasa considered this. "Oh. How come?" /span/p

For the 100,000th time, actually. Kou had been counting. "How the hell did he get away? Why cant I find her? Dammit, I should have tried harder." Hanako's pace suddenly increased. "Well, he wouldn't have let her die…" tried Kou. "But that leaves a large margins for torture, dismemberment, and experiments!" Hanako exploded. "He could do so much stuff, and I wouldn't know." Kou watched the apparition with pity. He had lost all sense of calm when Nene and Tsukasa disappeared. Hanako-kun always held in so much when he was around Nene, unless he was protecting her. Kou felt bad for him. "You like her, don't you. She's not just an assistant?"/span/p

The floors bent and crumbled, warping in on themselves as if someone had taken the dimension and crumbled it up like a piece of paper. The colors bled into one another. Flowers that looked more scribble than plant bloomed up from cracks in the floor. The table itself held a Mad Hatter-style spread. "Can I eat yet?" Tsukasa whined. His eyes were drawn down in a pout. "No." Sakura said, with no hesitation. She continued setting the feast as the boys whined and bickered in the background. /span/p

She looked at the deranged world surrounding her, then at her own unfamiliar look. Her clothes were new, and her hair felt different. Where was she? What had happened? The last thing she remembered was Tsukasa catching her. The rest was blackness. "You're up." A green-haired girl said. The girl was beautiful, upon further inspection, but her face showed no emotion. "Welcome to this…dimension. I am Sakura-San. This is Natsuhiko-San. And that…is Mitsuba-San. Feel free to ignore him." Yashiro blinked, and Tsukasa was in her face as her eyes opened again. She screamed and scrambled backwards, knocking over her chair as she attempted to get away from her kidnapper. "Tsukasa!" Sakura said sharply. "Don't do that! She's scared already, your going to traumatize her." Tsukasa grinned shamelessly. He didn't care. That was Amane's job. Amane was the careful one, and Tsukasa was the reckless one. If he made a mistake, Amane would fix it for him./span/p

It was like Yashiro Nene herself had turned into smoke. Amane gritted his teeth. He WOULD find her. She WOULD be alive. Tsukasa WOULD pay for his actions. All of this was assured. He would keep Nene to himself. No one would touch her ever again. Kou shifted uncomfortably in the background. Hanako was getting scarier the longer Nene was missing.

"Can we keep her for longer?" Sakura was scowling. She liked Tsukasa, and more than just a friend, Mitsuba could tell. "Im gonna return her if you don't shut up," she threatened. "You wouldn't, now, would you, Sakura-Chan?" Tsukasa's switch has been flipped. He's in creepy mode now. Mitsuba creeps closer to his mirror for safety. Sakura-Chan looks uncomfortable. She can't disobey a direct order from Tsukasa, but she desperately wants him for herself. She hangs her head. "Sorry, Tsukasa-Kun. I was just joking."/span/p
