*ೃ༄

Konami went downstairs as she decided to watch some television, knowing that she need some entertainment--she grabbed a remote and turn on the television. When she was changing channels, she saw the news that there will be opening for amusement park and water park--she probably going to tag her friends to come there.

Meanwhile, Shūhei was standing in front of the counter of the kitchen--saying to his mother. "Okay, geez. I know how to make sandwich, go away," he said, placing the lettuce inside as he tried to ignore Kasai behind him. His mother was leaning over him, trying to boss him around while he made the snack. "You eat the crust? Disgusting... just give it to someone else and eat a few," she stated, Shūhei sighed while rolling his eyes. 'What's wrong with eating the crust?' he thought, as he went surprised. "But it's still bread! My gosh..."

He finished making his sandwich and placed it on the plate, there were salami, pork bacon, egg, fish paste (what?), cheese and lettuce with nori salt. "Huh, those fish paste is good," he said, while Kasai eyed the snack. "This is such a weird combination of sandwich," she stated, while Shūhei got annoyed but he choose to ignore that. He walked back over to the living room holding the food, seeing Konami at the couch. He smirked slightly, placing the plate back on the table. He quietly made his way behind her, as he jumped forward onto the back of the couch--shouting loudly in attempt to scare her. "Hey Konami!"

Konami yelled after he attempted to scare her, holding the pillow and throw it right on his face. "Don't do that, idiot!" she snapped at him, holding her chest from being scared. Shūhei leaned back to the back of the couch, the fifteen-years old young boy of Shiro's age sat beside Konami while laughing at her reaction. "Oops, sorry," he said with a smile, holding his plate of sandwich. "It's fine, just ignore something about me and Hyde... being together," Konami grumbled.

Shūhei laughed again at what she was trying to ignore, before he shouted. "You and Hyde are together?! Hah, I knew it!" he jumped on the couch, clapping his hands in a moment of excitement. Really? Is this a teenager's thing? But what he just said is true that he's been thinking Konami and Hyde will be a thing--even though it may seem confusing at first. He stood still, declaring. "Aw! This is great! I knew you two would be a perfect pair!" he said with a grin, Kasai in her spirited form shake her head in disappointment--even though she hates Konami; she had to agree that the pairing is quite rare. "How dare he kissed her, not yet married but--oh well," she added, she's making her son get more excited than he should be.

"Like--can you please keep it a secret? I'm super private and all..." Konami grumbled, covering her cheeks which is probably bright crimson red right now, then Shūhei nodded as a confirmation. "Your secret is safe with me!" he said, before he glanced at the television and sat down. "Ooh! What are you watching Lemme grab my sandwich."

Konami leaned against the couch when she finally have a comfortable position, before she felt a surge of air when they both saw the news headline. "Wait, there will be a new amusement park?" Shūhei asked in awe when he saw the news. At least someone has excitement. 'So this world has amusement parks...'

"Yeah, what was the name of that place?" Konami asked, the other held his chin to think before snapping his finger. "It's called Tropical Paradise, I can't wait to visit this awesome place! Shiro's gonna be there and I wanna tag him!" he whined like a kid while she looks at him, laughing nervously. "I wanna call Eiko, she's going to be super excited about this..." she replied, before Hyde also peeked from the stairway--curious on what are they talking about, especially with the television being shown.

Outside, Shiro was asking Eiko for help because Shūhei has been targeted by someone named Hakusan Kobe--like seriously this guy has been trying to hunt him and he has a white fox on his shoulder. Eiko was wide-eyed upon hearing that, making her stand up from her chair. "Woah, are you sure about this? If that's the case... you have to defend and protect him!" she replied to his story, twirling the pen she's holding between her thumb and forefinger. "I know, you're a bounty hunter Eiko... but you know this guy because he's part of the list," he said with a frown.

"Ehh... I don't even know Hakusan Kobe, he's an outsider--from what I know he must've disguise as one of the tourists... so I'm afraid that this fellow won't harm any of the civilians that have supernatural powers," she sighed, she have to confirm it by using a locating device and had to watch for his movements but he barely can't be tracked. 'Besides... should I reveal my real name? Well, my surname...' she thought, the latter sighed as she folded her arms. "Fine, but you know--he's not in this town so you're safe. He was away and not coming back, I swear... and for your information, here you go."

It revealed that he has been away for months, so he has no point in hunting Shūhei for his bounty. Eiko began to doubt that this was the man--who he said it's him, Hakusan's hair was pure silver and white. It made her narrowed her eyes, before she sighed. "Well then, looks like it can't be helped. There will be Tropical Paradise park opening, so... do you want to go there?" she asked, in order to lighten up the mood and removed the atmosphere between them. Shiro's eyes widened when she suggested, he wanted to bring Shūhei and his friends too. "Heck yeah, let's tag along everyone and do stupid things. You're game for it too, right?"

"Of course! Anything to drag away our stress," she giggled, before they headed back inside her home. "Alright, folks! Better get prepared for the park visit!" she announced, and of course the people are very excited especially Shūhei--very much. It made Konami hummed, she really liked swimming a lot--but she want to practice again and they still have six days before the opening of the park. "Alright, thanks for the reminder, Eiko!" Shūhei replied happily, while Konami pondered as she waited for them to be done. "Hyde, do you want to go for a swim? Well, before the opening of the park starts."

Konami asked, watching him contemplating for a moment before he nodded. "Yeah, why not? I can swim, or we can swim in the river of the forest," Hyde replied, making her froze--in the river?! She just think of the depth, but Konami isn't that afraid for someone who's older than she is, besides--he's right about that he has very high level of stamina as she was told, plus he's a vampire. "You mean, in the waterfall? There might be... you-know-what, dangerous stuffs... or whatever," she replied to his suggestion with a shrug, Hyde knew well on what she said is true. "Hey, let's just practice okay? We can buy a swimsuits."

'Wait, do I have it? Maybe I kept it, let's see in my closet.'

She thought to herself, before making her way upstairs to the room and get a bit dressed up for their trip. After that, Eiko stared at Konami's chest as she grew envious of her 'size'--like she was tomboyish and Eiko's bust was so fucking small to the point only one person can notice the difference, plus she always wear semi-masculine clothes. Although she was wearing a black tank top underneath, at least one people noticed the difference of their bust. Not Eiko's, Konami's. 'Fuck...! Her bust is so fucking... good! I wish I have the same size, if she use crop top it will look better,' she thought in envy, before she sighed. 'My swimsuit is so damn full-body with no sleeves, shit... and yet her Māra vampire boyfriend is so fucking hot, dammit it! But they're fucking cute like... uwah!'

Konami watched Hyde transformed into his hedgehog form and jumped on top of her head, he was too lazy to walk and she comically went annoyed because she might look hideous. Hyde leaned his front down towards Konami, their faces are almost together before she finally realized what he was about to do with her hair. "Stop, I hate it when it turns spiky," she ordered, before he looked down as he started to smooth down his spikes out of laziness. "Why? My quills just stick straight out," he casually spoke, his spikes are black and white but it was long as fuck for a mini hedgehog--it made her scared if she poked the 'wrong' part with one of it. She sighed, letting the hedgehog resting on her head and she walked towards the retail store.

Shūhei joined with Shiro, while Eiko had to keep an eye on the guy named Hakusan Kobe--since she was curious about this man who wants to kill this brat. "Hakusan Kobe, eh? Heh, here's hoping I won't run into his mess-ups..." she said under her breath, walking beside the two of them with her arms folded. Konami has arrived in the store, feeling the hedgehog still on top of her head--making her hair messy. "Can you get off from my head, please?" she said, the hedgehog reverted back to his human form--with his arms engulfing her shoulders from behind. He rested his head beside hers, looking at the swimsuits available with a nod. "Do you have anything you would like?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, referring to the store because there were plenty of swimsuits and stuff. "Not when you're here," she whispered, making him turned his gaze away from her.

"Alright, let's see... bathing suit for the waterfall and swimsuit for the Tropical Paradise park... wait," Hyde answered himself, it seems that he wasn't paying attention with Konami's whispers earlier. She was seen holding the black, white and blue one-piece bathing suit with cleavage and exposed back--with small blue frills on the upper shoulder part. "This is nice... now the swimsuit..." she muttered, holding the dark blue swimsuit--only to be forced by the shop owner.

Meanwhile... Shūhei noticed their friend is having a severe doubt in finding any clothes, he tapped Shiro's shoulder and whispered something on his ear. The other went frozen, but Shūhei pull out his wallet with his face having a glimmer in excitement and his eyes has stars circling in. Eiko was in suffering mess, these two fucking brats really asked her to pay for them (except Konami and Hyde) and they were both happy-go-lucky. "Goddamn it..." she grumbled, pulling out her wallet with regret before giving her money to them. It made Shūhei very excited, not caring about her current situation and rushed into the dressing room after Even though she's rich like Konami, she hates using it for something useless.

Hyde brought his bathing suit and swimwear, he goes to Konami who's in the cashier counter and she handed the black platinum card to the lady that works there; Konami nodded when the cashier questioned the boy beside her and Hyde. Later, they came out of the store and the hedgehog is back to rest on Konami's head again; making her sighed. "You surely love being on top of my head, huh... so troublesome," she replied. Hyde chuckled, he gave a small shrug. "You seemed to like having me on your head," he replied as they headed to the waterfalls where the sky are blue--but the clouds are partly grey like usual weather.

"Alright, let's get changed, Shiro and Shūhei are on the other side... while Eiko... you know, monitoring something," she stated while pulling out her dress and hung it in the branch of the tree, Hyde keep his sight away from her as he get changed too. Once they're done, Hyde saw her jumped into the water first before the latter himself, splashing the water along with her to do some activities inside the pond.

Luckily, Hyde jumped into the water right after--which startled Konami on his splash. Hyde gave a chuckle, not really caring about his drenched blonde hair as the droplets run down the sides of his hair to the ends before falling back into the water. "Ah, the cool water's great for the skin, y'know," he stated as his feet touched the bottom of the waterfall's cave of the river.

Konami sighed after feeling the water and cool air, thinking to herself. 'Well, at least he said he was smart enough, got dressed and woken up on time...' she thought, before she slipped a little and fell on him--her bodyweight crushed him. Hyde looked around at the river, though, there aren't many trees or nearby animals it was just them--causing him to have an idea pop in his head.

"How about we jump from up there?" he suggested, motioning to a higher part of the waterfall.

"Huh, that's challenging. But, I'll take that suggestion," she agreed, she can't wait to dive from above so they headed upstairs. The water started to flow as normal after a long break on the cave, as she noticed that a small amount of fish also swim in it. With their goal completed, she took a glance at Hyde and he nodded. They take positions, with her jumped after him but made an attempt not to fall and they start the fall until they're about to dive into the water. Shūhei heard a cheerful shout, recognizing it was her and he turned to Shiro, holding his chin. "I think they fell into the water," he told the other, while swimming on the other side of the water.

As both of them dives into the underwater, Konami was collecting shells in the ground while Hyde is on the other side. He found a blue necklace with a blue heart symbol and silver ring around it--along a pickpocket knife, which he thought. 'I'll give this to Konami as a surprise gift...' he thought, tucking them into his swimsuit pockets. Both of them resurfaced and he took a look at her with interest in him--she did not realize what happened after he was walking towards her, poking her shoulder. "Let's get those brats, hm?" he suggested.

Once she hears him, Konami snapped her finger and agreed. "Yeah, sure!" she chuckled, rushing into the other side.

Few hours later...

Eiko told them to get themselves dry in her house, but she didn't expect Shūhei has the most drench appearance while everyone was fine, causing her to get annoyed to the point she told him to dry himself in the balcony--even more irritated because she gotta dry him as well. "Are you kidding me, you needa take a bath, idiot!" she barked loudly that the latter was just laughing by himself, while Shiro waited for Shūhei to be done in the sitting space; which mean the dryer room.

Konami was counting some money from selling ancient items and Ingots she did, she also finished some research as a double payment--while Hyde decided to sleep in his bedroom. "Konami, can we borrow one of your cash? Shūhei really needs it!" Shiro shouted while she's in the living room, they didn't want to piss her off--like borrowing money. She sighed, before she asked. "What for? Can you guys ask Eiko? Seriously..."

"Eiko is the source of our cash, we needn't ask her... she has too much!"

After his shout, Konami rolled her eyes and facepalmed. 'Shiro... you worked part-time in the tavern... why can't you spare a little bit of your cash?' she asked herself in her thought, giving them her cash and continue to count. 'They're so immature.'

Eiko opened the front door, meeting them with a grumble. "Shiro, Shūhei, come here. this Hakusan Kobe guy is here, you might as well be prepared..." she stated with a frown, while the other became terrified when he heard that name after how he saw him from afar. He may not look so terrifying but he certainly was a hunter who killed 56 criminals, like who he tried to kill Shūhei back then during their first meeting and both Konami and Hyde had to guard the fuck out from him. What Eiko discovered is true, that guy also followed a man in long coat as they both appeared in the front porch.

Konami didn't want to listen because she was busy with counting the cash, she doesn't want to anything to do with the brats' affairs even if she's curious. When their conflict is done, she's okay with it as long Eiko allowed him to stay with them. "Okay... here it is," she muttered, she planned to bring this money to the bank and transferred them into her bank account. She also has insurance against robbers and pirates, so she wasn't afraid to even steal it. "Konami! Here's my older half-brother, Hakusan Kobe!"

Shūhei announced, making her glanced at her back to see the man she had meet long time ago was now taller than she thought he was and his outfit is still the same. "Konami Yuzuki, nice to meet you," she introduced herself, before moving on to do her job. Hakusan doesn't know who is this Konami, but figured that she was one of his friends for such a long time. "Some says his age is nineteen, but that was just a guess from what people think--because his actual age is eighteen like us," Eiko said to her, before his fox began to bark at them.

"It's his dad, but he's alive and is in his fox form."

"Huh? How come?"

"Dunno, just ask him about it."

Konami wondered how his father supposed to talk when he's in the animal form--actually his fox always talks to the son instead of being quiet or something, plus it has ability to turn humans into animals, most like his fox form is. "Your room is next to mine, don't complain," Eiko told Hakusan, he nodded in agreement as they walked upstairs to have a rest. As she walked to her room, she did not seem to know about a new problem that is arising in a place where no one never exist. "Urgh... I can't believe I had to handle these asshats...' Eiko thought, looking at her friends. She only came downstairs because of another problem, she had to stay upstairs with her phone so Hakusan can sleep in peace, plus she hates to feel surrounded by more than three people she know. "We're so sorry, Eiko..."

Shiro apologized, while she stared at him. "Whatever, I can't count without staying in my own room and thinking of way to keep a watch--I'm only counting so many problems," she muttered, before standing up and heading back outside to her workplace. "Let me know if there's a problem, I'm always on monitor 24/7..." she added.

Few days later...

"The amusement park hasn't opened yet..." Konami grumbled, seeing the news of the Tropical Paradise stated that it will be delayed and will be opened next week--it was kind of frustrating. She laid down on the couch like a dog, covering her face because the news got her bored. Hyde had enough rest for the week, so he walked downstairs in order to annoy her. He was in his hedgehog form and jumped onto her belly to get her attention, making her squirmed. "That's kind of weird," he remarked, staring at the television. "Hey, are you just gonna sit here and be bored? Wouldn't you rather swim in a pool of mud or get kicked in the butt again?" he asked.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Konami sat up when she felt his small weight on her tummy, turning her to him and his eyes shows slyness and mischief. "Shut up," she uttered, before she grabbed a flyer from the table to read them--since Shiro and Shūhei are talking with Hakusan; while Eiko is busy monitoring her house. "Huh, there's a new nightclub in the downtown city tonight, wanna go?" she asked in a casual manner, though she wasn't sure about going to party... at night. Hyde always went along with what she wanted to do, since they're bored as fuck. "We can go later tonight, if you'd like," he suggested and Konami agreed before watching a show on the television.

Later on night, Konami walked together with him to the nightclub at night as she shouted at Eiko. "We're going out to the nightclub, be back at 2:00 am!" she said to the others, making Eiko sighed. "Hey, the last thing I needed is to play the game of babysitting your bratty asses, so don't bother with the time period--go and do something!" she yelled and continued monitoring the screens--even the places she's looking for, that means she will be very busy until the real danger comes. Being the landlady... is so damn tough, especially when they've several intruders come into her doorsteps; the brats wouldn't listen to her no matter how many times she ordered them--the only behaving ones are Konami, Hyde and Hakusan... can Shiro and Shūhei be like them at least? She hated how she couldn't sleep.

Once they arrived in the nightclub, Konami was in her home attire because she's too lazy to wear shit--even Hyde in his casual attire. As they entered the nightclub, there were so many people in the crowds; that she can't bear the loudness of her surroundings. Everyone seems like they're having fun; they seemed to be drinking and dancing. Hyde pulled her close by his hand, in fear of losing her in this type of crowd. "Let's go there," he whispered in her ear, motioning to the bar area of the nightclub. Konami looked around and her face frowned, trying to keep up with his quick pacing.

"Champagne, please."

Konami always wanted to try alcohol, like ohhh fuck... and he already ordered the finest glass of Champagne before the waiter can ask them what they want to order. As she drank the glass of champagne, she suddenly feel tipsy and she wanted to drink two shots... until she got completely drunk. Her face was so messed up with goofy open smile and silly giggles, her cheeks also red as she began to tease her boyfriend first. "Hyde, you're quite handsome. You know that?" she teased, slowly winking her right eye--before her vision went blank for a second. "Damn, am I supposed to flirt?" she hiccuped, pouting when the blonde choked by his drink.

Shit, is that her power?

Konami giggled and playfully slapped his back for making him choke, like--damn! She was getting very flirtatious, especially a drunkass flirt and completely different from her usual self. "Man... it's so damn hot here, perhaps I should take this off!" she said happily, making Hyde stopped and warned. "Konami, don't--" he sighed in relief, seeing her wearing a black tank-top underneath her long-sleeved shirt. 'Thank goodness...'

Was Konami completely drunk? Although he finds it amusing; Hyde isn't much of a drinker either. He saw a dance floor filled with many people, so he paid the drinks and grabbed her hand. "Come on, let's dance," he said. "Wait!" she halted, wearing back her shirt and joined him in the dancefloor, a different kind of song began to play and like a dumbass bitch she is--she's stepping on the wrong place in the rhythm and had Hyde guiding her hand while she also looked around because she was distracted, before he twirled her in the end of the dance; making her went a little tipsy but still is focused on her sense of dance. The people applauded because of the couple's dance while Konami blinked as they suddenly watched their act like some show, before she brushed her shirt with pride. "By the way... your lips taste good, like champagne."

Konami teased him, while Hyde put his arms around her waist. "Oh, you want to to taste it again?" he raised an eyebrow, her face went completely crimson. Goddamn, even a vampire likes this champagne... he's so fucking perfect for being a beast. "Yeah..." she answered. Without hesitation, Konami closed her eyes and held her head up--holding her breath; her knees went weaker with her boyfriend who brought his face down towards hers. He did not want to hold his breath, but continued to make it a smooth kiss by tilting his head, kissing her as she melted in his kiss. He finally removed himself from her, smirking at her dazed reaction. "Do you like it?" he whispered, looking at her. "Y-Yeah... it was good..." she stuttered.

"Awww, even when you're drunk--you still get embarrassed," Hyde teased, kissing on top of her head. "Let's go back to the house," he said, letting go of her and goes back to the bar to finish his drink. Then, he went back over to her. "Ready?"

Konami nods, before she felt her knees went weak. "C-Carry me please... my head was spinning..." she wanted to die from being drunk on the inside, but she somehow wanted to stay up longer. As she put her hands on his shoulders, he swept her up--carrying her in bridal style as he made her way out from the nightclub. She was pretty light and not hard to carry, as he took her back to he house. "Stay by my side... Hyde..." she muttered, tightening her hold around his neck. Hyde noticed this but didn't mind. "Of course I'll stay by your side," he muttered back, as he knew a lot of creeps were gonna prey on his girl when she's drunk as fuck.

When they entered the house, he put her down and laid her on the back. "Sleep with me... please?" she asked, with such a pleading tone like a little girl. Shūhei, Shiro and Hakusan haven't returned yet, apparently they were busy in another important matter. Hyde nodded and gave her a quick kiss, looking at his girlfriend. "Your wish is my command," he said, agreeing to stay with her side. He climbed onto her bed next to her and changed into his hedgehog form, walking up to her pillow and curling up into a ball.

Konami pulled the blanket to cover them, despite still drunk. "Goodnight, little hedgehog," she yawned, kissing his soft hedgehog's forehead before she went into deep slumber. Turns out... the other three just got back from the nightclub, but was in different floor and Eiko had to get their asses to sleep. Once the door closed with an order of Hakusan, that means no one dared to awake the couple. "Alright, now Hyde and Konami are sleep... and they must've gone to sleep," he assumed in whisper, but little did he know, Konami actually heard it.

She chuckled, hugging the soft but warm fur of her boyfriend before she closed her eyes once again. It was pure bliss, especially when she knew he'll protect her no matter what. Eiko yawned when she saw Hakusan still woke up, so she approached him with the eye bags under her eyes. "Do you ever sleep?" she asked, the snow white-haired shrugged. "You need some beauty sleep, idiot. I know you hate me, but still..." she said, it made him glanced at his white fox. "So, Eiko Manae... is that you real name?"

"Nope, can't tell you about it unless you want to befriend me..."

"Wasn't your real hair supposed to be platinum blonde? Instead of orange blonde?"

The orange blonde shoulder-length messy-haired tomboyish girl groaned at that question, before rolling her eyes. She can't allow him to discovered her real name, even though Konami said that he's okay about it. "Oh god, fine...! It's Eriko Amane, don't tell this to anyone especially the brats or Konami and Hyde," she grumbled with irritation, pointing her finger at him. "Geez, just go to sleep. You're gonna annoy the fuck outta me with that question!"

Hakusan stared at her, he doesn't find her annoying--since she's just a house monitor-owner who just want to make sure the facilities and security are intact; on a daily basis. "Alright, see you tomorrow..." he said, before both of them went to sleep and they might live their own normality.

***

The next day...

For some reason, something really off lately when Konami look around her surroundings--since she walked on her own while Hyde is looking for a human so he can stop his bloodthirst. She was walking down the sidewalk for a while, rubbing her cramped back after getting drunk from yesterday. "Shit, it hurts..." she uttered, before a masked man appeared behind her and put a bag over her head and cloth over her mouth--which has a sedative in it. Konami tried to struggle but the scent made her sleep, before she fell unconscious and got carried to the nightclub.

The second is Hyde, after he drank the blood from a gangster until the human is dead--he saw a man in black mask standing there and he was about to follow him; until the other man knocked him unconscious with a plank and he hissed in pain; before he fell down and fainted. Soon, the two of them dragged him into the nightclub on the ground from the back.

Eiko was drinking her cup of coffee as she was watching the monitor of her house, before she saw a suspicious man standing near the door with a sleeping gas bomb and she narrowed her eyes. As she was about to stand up from her workplace beside their house, she yelped when a man putting a bag over her head that has a strong sleeping gas in it. "Man, these three targets are tough--I can't believe I was on time and they've given themselves to the club of their own choice," he said in deep voice, carrying her over his shoulder and rushing out from her workplace--before the security system got broken down temporarily by him--allowing the man to put a sleeping smoke bomb inside the house.

Shiro was talking to Shūhei like usual, while Hakusan was in his room listening to them with his fox--until they smelled something strong that sends them asleep, followed by smoke coming out from the house. "What the fuck--" he cursed, which Shiro stand up and he need to contact Eiko about this--turns out she got kidnapped and someone intruded. "Hold on..." Shūhei halted, sniffing the air along with Shiro to notice that both Konami and Hyde were missing. "It seems that both Konami and Hyde got taken as well!"

"Shit, let's get out of here--we have to find Eiko," Shiro told him, as both of them rush to leave the house because something horrible had happened... they're surprised that someone also took Eiko too. Even Hakusan would wonder where's the owner, so he went downstairs with his fox looking around to find the button of security measures--but the smoke was so strong; giving them headache. Eventually, their eyelids are closing while the others are waking up. "Hey, what happened with Eiko..." he asked in concerned, coughing.

"We think she got kidnapped, Hyde and Konami are missing too--"

The three of them felt their eyelids went heavy and the scent made them want to sleep, so they fell asleep as the smoke ceased--the two men carried Hakusan with the fox and one carried both Shiro and Shūhei to the nightclub. Kosaka Hajime; the Japanese-American owner of the nightclub hummed with a smile, she got pissed since one of Konami's friends did something to her nightclub and caused a mess. "Why bother some customers, huh... you owe me one, doll-face," she chuckled and went upstairs to have her office time, waiting for them to wake up until the nighttime--as the six of them got tied by the rope above them and below them... is a pool filled with piranhas.

Kosaka stood in front of them, holding her cane as she pressed the remote button--the buckets filled with cold water poured over their heads; waking them up. Konami gasped as she woke up first, panting heavily as she shake her head--her shoulder-length auburn hair covered her magenta-red eyes and cheeks; since it was drenched. "Shit...!" she cursed, trying to get out but she was stuck. She looks to her sides and to her front--before she saw five people hung in the air beside her, her boyfriend and her friends. "Fuck..." she cursed again, before looking up at the black-haired woman with sunglasses. "W-Who are you...?!"

Hyde jolted awake and shake his head, after the cold water dropped onto his blonde messy short hair with brown tips as he still wearing the same attire like yesterday. "What the hell..." he muttered, Konami turns to see him awake as well and just like her--he was drenched. "Hyde..." she called and turned to the woman.

Shiro gasped as he woke up and got drenched on his hair as well, he tried to release himself until he realized that he got chained and Shūhei got drenched as well. It took a while for Hakusan to woke up, even Eiko as she regained her consciousness few minutes later. "Alright, my name is Hajime Kosaka--owner of the club known as 'Deadline.' You know why I kidnapped you six, because one of you brats did break the rules!" she said to them, pressing a button. "Now, explain yourselves!"

What the fuck--

"One of them suddenly make the bar area and dancefloor became all messy, there's a lotta debris lying around--that's why I'm holding you guys responsible for that fucking crime!" she barks loudly at them, Konami was obviously not doing it because she was drunk and just dancing with Hyde; Eiko wasn't even at the club, her business as the house sitter of this seven people took over. So, who the fuck did it. Hakusan was just watching with the fox as his side, because he have no idea where to fuck is the club when he was having such a good sleep. That left... two brats, Shiro and Shūhei that are very curious about what's going on. "Who are you, why am I in here and why--" Shūhei paused when he was met with Kosaka's glare, forcing him to shut up.

"Wait... what do you mean both of us did that mess?" Shūhei questioned in suspicion, they are literally get pulled by Kosaka and she showed something to them. Shiro's eyes widened in realization that the monitor shows Shiro and Shūhei were fighting last night inside the club. "H-How the fuck--"

"A camera, you idiot! You got into a fight on the spot, even causing the damn mess here after a drunken night!"

Konami, Hyde, Hakusan and Eiko stared at the two with comical expression, their stupidity is on peak mode right now. Kosaka sighed, before she smirked and chuckled. "You boys really made a big mess, but I'll say only this... Your lives are in danger!"

Hakusan noticed that the white fox is inside the cage, before he asked. "Katsune, are you okay...?" he asked his father by the 'codename', the fox merely nodded with weak motion. He narrowed his eyes in anger as he was defensive over the animal, considering the circumstances. 'Oh, these bastards are so dead--' he thought in his head with quiet growl. Shiro quickly explained, before he decided to be courageous. "C-Can you put me down first? I'm no criminal, honest! I'm just a humble person--"

"You two brats are underage! Fifteen years old without showing your ID--"

Oh fuck, they were underage! As he said that, Eiko rolled her eyes, before remembering she heard them entering last night when she was sleeping. "Okay, we took responsibilities of them," she said reluctantly, before Kosaka growled and pressed the button--creating an electric shock on the chains that made the six of them completely pained with loud screech in sudden but slow pace, including the fox and before she stopped it. "Now... enjoy your punishment... try to escape when I'm occupied," she warned, placing the remote elegantly and walking away. Both Shiro and Shūhei decided to find a loophole on their chains before the Piranhas starting to wake up with hunger. Hakusan closed his eyes and did meditation session to concentrate, making the water that dripped to them frozen--slowly giving ice element to the chain.

Konami tried to release herself, as she swung her entire weight to the platform that held the entire system but failed; trying over and over. "Fuck... this bitch must've made this thing for many captives, judging by that crazy cane of hers," she stated, giving a heavy sigh when the six of them couldn't make a mistake or Kosaka'll hurt them. "Sorry, Eiko! We forgot to tell you, so that's why we apologize because we are so immature," Shiro apologized to her, Eiko breathed heavily and rolled her eyes. "All of you are such a pain in the ass, idiots... but I'll forgive you two," she said with a cheerful smile, while deep down in her mind 'I'll kick both of you in the ass for the whole month...' Shūhei and Shiro shared the happy look as they still want to reach for the latch, until Hyde's loud voice echoed within them. "Can we try to focus on escaping first?!"

"Okay fine! Give me a second!"

"I'm trying to freeze the water with ice, please hold onto the chains!" Hakusan called out, after using his ice crystal shards to freeze the surface of the water. Due to the heat wave all day long, he can't create a freezing temperature like when there's a cold condition outside. Hyde tried to think of a plan, along with Konami and the other four has their own distraction. "Now what..." he murmured. "Let me know if you've any smartass idea," he said with annoyance, starting to think that he didn't read too much shit. Konami saw the remote on the small table, so she used her feet by swinging her weight forward and her foot stomp on the table; pushing it far enough. That seemed to turn the light off, alerting Hakusan that his job is half done and needs more rest to control the freezing temperature.

Then, she kicked the table and made the remote pressed a button--releasing the chains as she jumped on the platform from the pool with Hyde in his hedgehog form and Eiko as well. Shiro also jumped as well as Shūhei landed on the floor, Hakusan saved Katsune as the fox got released from the cage that was broken by the ice. The six of them went to find an escape route, because the entrance got blocked and the people inside the nightclub are crowding the floor. "There has to be a way here..." Eiko grumbled, before she look up at the door above the ceilings which is high from the second floor. "That must be it..."

Shiro had to transform into his half white tiger form, before Eiko climbed on him with the rest. "Shiro, go up!" he climbed onto the shelves and jumped to the first floor, holding the woman tightly. Shūhei leaped from the second floor onto the ceiling and dig it, entering inside to cut a hole above the metallic door of the nightclub and opening it. As they got out and has arrived in the rooftop, they were panting heavily before Eiko whined. "I swear to God--how come these people broke through my security defense...?" she wondered, Hakusan had a fair point since Eiko set up dozens of security defense that hard for them to get by.

"Well... because those guys kidnapped you and put the gas bombs, causing us to fell asleep before the house started to leak with smoke," Shūhei told her, hearing footsteps approaching. "Let's get out of this place..." Konami suggested and Eiko stood up first before Hyde; Shiro and Shūhei going then Hakusan followed after they're going, until she finally went first.

At their home...

While Eiko is so damn busy fixing the fuck out of their security, Hakusan noticed his fox which is going to the bedroom... and decided to follow it, while he went up to his room. Shiro and Shūhei changed their shirts, their current clothes smell like alcohol because of drenching but it stinks. They had to face a huge scolding from Konami and Hyde who were so fucking pissed with their actions that makes Kosaka hates them for the whole life and she fucking tied and captured them for the main attraction, but later they felt bad when they heard about Katsune who still sleeping on the couch downstairs. "What were you two doing in the nightclub??"

Konami asked with a scowl, which Shūhei laughed nervously as Shiro explained. "I lost a bet yesterday to him, so we ended up going to the nightclub with Hakusan and Katsune because he's of your age. Well, we kind of having too much fun despite Hakusan's warnings and he had to watch everything... he was so done with us," he described, making Hyde facepalmed and shake his head a little. "Seriously, you almost made us a criminal when we just headed there--we didn't know you were there with Hakusan. Also, you didn't inform Eiko about this?"

"We did, but... she fell asleep."

Yup, it seems like she need a good rest from her unhealthy sleeping schedule. "Eiko, if you need a rest--go ahead! Don't force yourself to wake up!" she called out, while Eiko gave a thumbs up while typing on her laptop to fix the problem from the system. Hakusan let his fox rest on his shoulder, folding his arms--he wondered if Eiko is okay because she worked so hard just to keep their house safe; she was the important core of the group to ensure the security is safe. "Sorry, Eiko..." Shūhei apologized, which she already forgive them and not taking it personally. "Hey, chill okay? I forgave you guys, just don't do it again okay? It'll make my house no longer safe. And, I think I need a good sleep from this entire mess."

"Alright!"

Meanwhile, Kohaku received some crucial informations as his eyes widened. He glanced at Byakuya as he placed the telephone down, growling a little. "Something bad happened, we have to leave right now!" he warned, Kiryu shrieked as he woke up from the couch while Sherry hummed a little. "Radjasa, Rayna and Kyouka informed us that there was a Phantom Eruption coming, along the 'time paradox' that might butcher up the island! Someone's gonna die from this shit!"
