Umi nods and walks out of the Inn. Shiro:'..Kek, is my family really the cause of this much trouble...?' Noaya runs over to Little K'.'Oi! Onii-san, Kek, how're you?' Sou:'Exactly! My counterparts and I are immortal, due to the fact we havent been born, so we can never truly live or die.. *he clears his throat* There isn't too much more I know about the Shinozaki's other than the fact[cont]

Sou:'there's never been a female born, like ever and their supposed to guard the book of shadow's you'd have to ask one of the members, which is impossible since every last member died, even Nii-chan so the Shinozaki's are no more in the world of the living... Umm.. I suppose I'm a Shinozaki too, but I gave myself the last name Kiriya, I really can't remember much other than that..'

Umi smiles.'The moons pretty tonight...' As soon as Umi said that the moon begins to turn into a deep crimson color, as red as blood. Umi:'Never mind... I jynxed myself...' Sou smiles and then flinches,'T-the Shinozaki estate., It's shifted into this dimension...' Sure enough the house appeared over the lake of the Sanctuary, it glowed purple and floated in the air[cont]

just a bit. Surprisingly enough it could be touched and felt as if it were a normal house despite being a supernatural product. Noaya:'Really pretty! I like it, Kek! Hey! Wanna play a game?' Shiro:'Yeah, but.. You.. You guys just gave the power, I do think you'd create something that could destroy you, right?'

Umi:'No.. But I feel a strong spiritual presence near...' Nite jolts awake and breaks into hard sweat.'*pant* W-wha *gasp* *wheeze* *gulp* What is this...?' Nero was in no better condition, his heart beat sped up and he began to sweat bullets. Rend and Rou were both in similar conditions.

Nite lies back down, trying to calm himself. Nero rushes out of his house and towards the lake. Sou runs next to Echo, keeping up.'Why do you think my house will do horrible things...?' Noaya:'It's called the "Kings game" where one of us becomes a king! And you have to tell your servants, the people who aren't kings what to do and they have to do it no matter what!' Shiro:'True enough..[cont]

Shiro:'Say did your wrath ever appease itself..?'

Nero growls at him, it sounded close to a roar and he gives Lugia a death glare.'DON'T FOLLOW ME DAMMIT! STAY PUT! IT ISN'T SAFE HERE!' He darts into the house as red translucent stairs appear. Sou:'Oh! True! Ok then.. Hey your friend's going into the house. Noaya:'Ok! Since I created the game I get to be king first!' Shiro:'Can you.. Restore those worlds?'

[Ooooh! I don't! J-pedia b slow!]

Umi:'It isn't good.. It doesn't feel too welcoming..'

Sou:'It's not his fault... It's the houses magnetic pull on his soul...' He runs up the staircase as well. The inside of the house was surprisingly enough, clean. It smelled due to the old water pipes and other rotten decaying thing, minus bodies of course. Nero steps inside, panting hard. He gulps.'Uuuuu......' He swallows some vomit'Why... Why can't I catch my breath...?'[cont]

The house had a stairs, as it was two stories tall. Umi:'Hmm? But their multiple souls about to enter it..' Noaya:'Ok! The king orders you to go hold hands with the older you!' Shiro:'Huh...? Why's that? Is it because your technically opposites?'

Nero shakes his head quickly."No! Move!" He shakes them off, quickly at that and darts up stairs. Sou:"... Whatever it is, it must be strong since he won't listen to reason.." Umi:"Regardless if you go or not, I'm going..." He turns and walks towards the house. Shiro:"Hmm...? Flawed? How?"

Shiro:"So he's stubborn and arrogant? Isn't that a bad trait for a god to have?" Nero runs through the rooms until he finds a specific one. The inside of the room had pictures of Noaya put on every wall, each and everyone detailing a different event in his life. It was obvious how much love was put into each and every picture. There was a bed, for an adult situated in the corner. [cont]

Nero walks over to a corner, he hadn't known how but he put in the code as easy as it was to breathe. The safe swings open revealing an underground tunnel.(Keep in mind this was a large safe) he runs through. Sou of course followed everyone matching their speeds Umi walks into the house as casual as it gets. Despite the atmosphere of despair lingering.

Nero makes it to the basement. It was basically floor boards that still stood strong. He looks around.(W-what what is in here!? What am I supposed to be finding....!!?!) he growls frustrated though he didn't know why. Sou of course follow Echo and co. Umi chuckles."Your not scared of a few spirits are ya, Pignite?" Shiro:"True... So what did you call me here for, Kek?" Noaya holds Lil K's[cnt

Hand and pats his head, smiling brightly."It's ok! Kek! You wont hurt I promise! Even when your joined Noaya-Chan will still play with Kek! He promises, Nipah~"

Nero quickly shrugs her away once more and darts to a corner then begins tearing at the wall. Slowly but surely darkness begins to seep out of his. Sou takes a sharp breath of air."N-no don't! Don't listen to the spirit, Sonozaki-Chan! Fight against its influence!" Nero growls."Shut the f* up you Shinozaki brat!" He rears his fist back and slams it down on the wall, the darkness flowls freely[ct

And in the process Nero is flung into the wall as it entered his body. He slowly slides to the ground and lets out a sharp scream of agony as the spirit in the form of a shadow flies from his body. He spasms and writhes in pain. Behind the room was a pedestal with a glowing purple orb.

Umi giggles. There was a white wispy spirit staring at them intently."AHHH NO ITS A GHOST! STAY AWAY!" It roars at them then darts towards them and Umi laughs harder.l, not bothered in the slightest.

Suddenly, Echo is knocked into a wall hard enough to create a crater. A hooded figure comes and takes the orb."Ah... Exactly what I needed.*chuckle* I really appreciate that Sonozaki brat for unearthing this really. First, Rou and now Nero, ah their so useful.. Have fun sweetie." He disappears as red glowing symbols appear over parts of Nero's body. Slowly but surely they begin splitting open[cont

Nero's face starts to turn pale as he lets out a blood curdling scream, blood begins to pool under him. Sou:"....!?" He takes a few steps back away from the group, panting heavily. "A-ah no!! Don't please!!!"

The hooded figure simply sends a violent wave of darkness through Lugia's mind. And fades off into a completely different dimension. Laughter could be heard around them, it sounded like it was coming from 5 different people. In fact it was as the dead members of the Shinozaki family gather, increasing the intensity of the spell. Nero jerks back violently and spits up alot of blood"A-ARGGAAA![ct

Nero:"S-STOOOOOP!!! STOP ECHO!!! WORSE!! YOUR MAKING IT WORSE!!!" His fur on his arms, legs and his hair were dyed a deep crimson color with his own blood. Sou hiccups.(What can I do... What can I do...) he rubs his eyes and begins to cry hard.(Useless! Useless! Useless!! I have to repay her for saving me!) Umi simply impaled the ghost with a golden dagger. It screeches and fades away. [cnt]

Umi then darts towards up stairs, holding Pignite's hand/paw."KEEP UP!" He doesn't turn and keeps running.

Umi comes down into the basement where the others were and stops."Hmm? Where is this.." The symbols disappear as the spirits retreat from the light and Nero takes heavy, labored breaths. Still bleeding he gasps out."Echo*pant* sorry... *pant* I.. Put.. You *he coughs up more blood * no.. Everyone through this..." Sou:"... Where are we..."

Umi:"..A God's realm..." He simply says. And after that he goes silent letting go of Pignite's hand. Nero:"No...." *an image flashes in head. Nite was looking down at him smiling, protecting his head from something. Nite:"Shh.. It's ok, Rou.. When I go.. Promise me you'll take care of everyone..." His head suddenly turns into a big red blotch and his vision starts to turn red* D-dad.. Daddy!![cnt

He begins to thrash about, despite the gentle care that was being given. Tears were flung from his eyes left and right. "NO! NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN! I LOST YOU ONCE ALREADY! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO AGAIN!!? PLEASE DONT GO!"

Umi:"He's experiencing an event one of his relatives went through, I sense a spirit similar to his own... It happened here too, where a room once stood here.."

Umi:"Speaking of the crystal.. I sensed here a short while ago, shame it disappeared.. Ah, but I'm well prepared, see I have chants, incantations and other tools up my sleeve to combat spirits. They may not be able to work on every spirit, but I say its better than going in with my bare hands, wouldn't you agree? Unlike the others did.. Though, they acted on impulse. I'd do the same.."

Nero slowly stops thrashing and comes to his senses.".....Nghhh.... I feel sore all over.."

Umi tilts his head."Magician? One was present earlier...?" Sou:"Excuse me!" *he bows politely* My name is Shinozaki, Souchiro, please tell me are you Yuna-sama or not!" Noaya pats Kek's back."Shh, shh.. It's ok.. Maybe you can separate from him every so often."

gtg to sleep. Nite!

Nero:"Echo... You, ok?" Sou:"Well.. Once your gone will we be back at the Shinozaki estate...?"

Nero:"A-ah... I see... I'm sorry..." Sou:"But I needed something from there..."

Nero:"Y-yeah... Worst thing I've ever experienced hands down.. As long as you guys are fine.. I'm ok.. Though I can't remember anything I did, I was seeing red the whole time up until my skin started splitting apart.." Sou:"Mm..." He makes a disappointed noise as the moon goes back to its normal pale white color. Umi nods and them and begins to walk back to the Inn.

Nero nods standing up as well."I'm fine, really... I uncovered an orb? Any idea on what it was?"

Nero:"Mm? Oh, I missed you there. Hey little buddy! Reviving?" Sou smiles."Yep! I'm Shinozaki, Souchiro! Nice to meet you sir!" Nero:"...? Shinozaki? That means you have an idea of what happened back there, right?" Sou:"I sure do!"

Sou nods and taps his chin."Hmmm.. That weird hooded guy used Nero to absorb the darkness that protected that treasure he stole, so Nero was basically a pawn.. Oh! And those symbols were names of dead Shinozaki's, who still held grief against the living... Umm.. That treasure was called the "Death meet" stones." Nero:"Stones...? There was only one." Sou:"It was like a protective case.. [cont

Sou:"once broken, it produces stones that act as a portal to and from the Nehon.."

Sou shrugs."Sou doesn't know why people do alot of things they do..." Nero:"The hell is the Nehon...?" Sou taps his chin."Umm... Let me think.."

At that moment Koga appears again, chuckling slightly. He taps Echo's head with his umbrella."Wrong. It was created by neither Arceus. Nor Yuna, Kek, or Abner for that matter, doesn't matter how much they try to take credit for it, they simply didn't do it." Nero:"You that guy from before..." Sou hugs Koga tightly."Koga-nii! Oh! You'll tell them since you remember some of it, right?" Koga(cont

Pries Sou off of himself, sighing as he phased into his body ever so slightly."Yes. Yes I'll enlighten them... Lets see.. Where should I start..."
