Kurei walked down the stairs into the kitchen. It was eight o’clock and he was surprised that Kaosu and Kotohonou hadn’t woken him up. They usually barge into his room and wake him up in various ways. One time they took a teddy bear and hit him on the head with it. Another time, he woke up to them giving him a manicure; that’s when he decided to cut his nails.

"How come you guys didn’t wake me up?" Kurei said as he sat down at the table, "Are you guys feeling ok?"

"We didn’t want to wake you, you seemed like you were having the most wonderful dream." Kaosu said as she poured him a bowl of cereal.

"I was?" Kurei asked.

"Oh, you don’t remember your dream? It sounded like you were having fun!" Kotohonou said as she took a spoonful of cereal and ate it.

"Sounded? Was I talking in my sleep?" Kurei asked.

"You were doing a little bit more than that!" Kaosu said.

"Recca, I’ve finally got you where I want you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you dead! Mwahahahahahaaa!" Kotohonou said imitating Kurei.

"Did I really say that?" Kurei asked.

"You also laughed like that too!" Kaosu said, "What is with you and Recca? I know you have your…ahem…differences, I just don’t understand why you are obsessing over him. I really don’t know him and I don’t see what the big deal is."

"Well, he defeated me using his dragons; he’s the cause of my misfortune…" Kurei said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…you really got to get over that. But I can’t believe that he actually beat you! Did you let him win, or something?" Kaosu asked.

"Well, no…" Kurei said.

"Hey, Hana-sama, you should met him! He’s kinda cocky, but he’s ok." Kotohonou said.

Yanagi was sitting on a bench in the park when three figures appeared in front of her.

"Oh, Kaosu-sama, Kotohonou good morning!" She said as she looked at them, but then realized Kurei was with them, "Kurei…um…hello."

"I would like to have a word with you." Kaosu said.

"Hime? Hime, where are you?" Recca asked as he looked around the park.

"Recca, I found this note attached to one of the benches." Touketsu said as she handed him the note, "It’s from the Chaos Queen!" Recca read the note:

"Hime! I’ll save you!" Recca yelled.

"Finally I shall get my revenge!" Touketsu said.

"He doesn’t, does he? All the time?" Kaosu asked.

"Yes, sometimes it’s very annoying." Yanagi smiled, "Are you sure Recca will know where I am?"

"I wrote him a note." Kotohonou said.

"Tea?" Kurei asked, as he was about to pour tea into her cup.

Remembering what happened last time she had tea with him, she politely declined. Last time she was drugged and as she was falling asleep her clothes were burned off by Kurei, she just didn’t want that to happen again.

Just then someone burst through the door.

"Hime!" Recca yelled.

"Recca-kun, you don’t have to yell." Yanagi scolded.

"How impolite, you didn’t even knock!" Kotohonou said.

"Kurei!" Recca yelled.

"Recca." Kurei said.

"Recca-kun don’t yell!" Yanagi scolded.

"Please have a seat, won’t you!" Kaosu said, she could sense the tension between the two flame casters and didn’t want to have such a lovely house being burned to ashes.

"Recca-kun, must you be so impolite!" Yanagi said.

"Well…I…I…got this note and I thought…" Recca said.

"Here, let me see that." Kaosu said a little curious what Kotohonou wrote. She read the note out load.

"I am not weird." Kurei said. Everyone looked at him. He was wearing his usual red robe and one of his masks; no one said anything.

"Anyway, I’m glade you’re here, I have a few questions for you that I would like you to answer." Kaosu said.

"No, Chaos Queen, it is you who will be answering, to me!" Touketsu said as she glared at Kaosu.

"It’s Chaos Queen-SAMA, or, Kaosu-SAMA!" Kotohonou yelled.

"Does that ever get annoying?" Yanagi asked Kaosu with a smile.

"After awhile, you get used to it." Kaosu replied.

Recca was still pretty mad. Kurei was smiling at the situation as he drank his tea. Kotohonou and Touketsu played the ‘starring at each other’ game. Yanagi and Kaosu just sat there.

"Kaosu, how dare you abduct my HIME!" Recca yelled, "You’ve brain washed her, didn’t you!"

"SAMA!" yelled Kotohonou.

"Brain washing?" Kaosu was puzzled.

"You brain washed her to make her think you are good guy!" Recca said.

"I have not been BRAIN WASHED!" Yanagi yelled.

"Yes you have my poor Hime." Recca said.

"No I have not!" Yanagi said.

Kaosu sighed, now she was being accused of brain washing.

"Chaos Queen I challenge you to fight!" Touketsu yelled, "The death of my family will finally be avenged!"

"SAMA!" Yelled Kotohonou.

"I want to fight her too, for what she did to my Hime!" Recca said.

"She hasn’t done anything! All she’s done was be hospitable!" Yanagi protested.

"If it’s I fight you want, then fine." Kaosu said. "But let’s not fight here, I don’t want anything happening to the house."

"Whatever." Recca said.

"No, not ‘whatever’. You know, this is a very expensive house!" Kurei said. He also didn’t want anything happening to his lovely home.

"Shut up!" Recca and Touketsu yelled.

They left the house and decided to fight in the mountains. There, they could destroy as much as they wanted, without anyone protesting.

"Recca-kun, please don’t hurt her! She hasn’t done anything!" Yanagi said.

"She killed my parents!" Touketsu said.

"She brain washed you! She’s not a good person." Recca said. Yanagi sighed.

"Alright, to be fair all just use my ‘chaos spikes’ and my wind power and you both can fight me at the same time, k?" Kaosu said.

"Don’t underestimate us!" Touketsu said, "I’m going to use all the power I have, and I want you to do the same! I am not WEAK!"

"SAIHA!" Recca said as he grew a flame blade on his arm.

Kaosu laughed, "One dragon! That’s all you’re going to use? I’ll tell you what, you use all your power and I’ll use mine, is that alright?"

"You asked for it!" Recca said.

Kotohonou shook her head, "No, you asked for it."

"Shall we begin?" Kaosu said.

Touketsu and Recca charged at her. Kaosu formed what seemed like to be a bubble around her. Touketsu and Recca could get to her.

"Kurei, take my camera and take some pictures ok?" Kotohonou said as she handed him her camera. She turned away from the fight with her arms folded.

"Aren’t you going to watch the fight?" he asked.

"No" she said. She looked quite serious, Kurei had never seen her serious, he turned back to the fight only to see Kaosu rise a few feet in the air. She was in the center of he bubble and her eyes were closed and but she was constricted by what looked like electricity wrapped around her.

Recca called forth all of his dragons and attacked her, but her bubble was too strong and it didn’t do anything. The bubble slowly descended and Kaosu was no longer constricted. When the bubble touched the ground. She opened her eyes and the bubble disappeared.

"Her eyes! They’re glowing red!" Kurei said as he took a step back.

"The power of chaos, you see is…" Kotohonou began.

Kaosu smiled at Touketsu and Recca. Kurei remembered the expression in her eyes when he was fighting her. "They’re the same. So serious, so…evil." He thought to himself.

"…Hana-sama." Kotohonou closed her eyes and sighed.

"IS THAT IT!" Recca said, "Glowing eyes, what a wimpy power!"

"Idiot." Kotohonou muttered.

Touketsu and Recca attacked her. But she was to fast for them and easily dodged.

"Let me explain," Kaosu began as she continued to dodge, "this is my ultimate power. It increases my speed and strength." She hit Recca and sent him flying. Touketsu attacked from behind. Kaosu did a back kick and sent her tumbling to the ground. Touketsu tumbled quite some distance away then where she started. Recca fell with a thud about ten meters from where he was hit. "At this stage," Kaosu began again, "I can also use my ‘chaos beam’." A purple ray came out from her hands and hit Recca. He fell to the ground. She fired her ray at Touketsu. Touketsu moved out of the way, but the ray turned and hit her.

"I can’t get up! I’ve been paralyzed!" Recca yelled. Touketsu also found out she couldn’t get up.

"How?" Touketsu thought, "I dodged…so how come I got hit?"

Kaosu laughed, "My beam sucks the energy from my opponents, the bigger the beam, the more energy sucked out. I can make it as long, short, big, and small." Kaosu smiled, "I used a pretty good sized one on you guys. Of course, I didn’t think you would be like this. How weak!" She walked over to Touketsu and asked, "Wondering how I got ya, huh?"

Touketsu just glared at her burning red eyes with hatred.

"Did I mention, as long as I’m ‘attached’ to my beam I can control it?" Kaosu smiled. She turned away from Touketsu and said, "You will never get you revenge lying on you back."

She walked over to Yanagi. Yanagi was trembling in fear. "Recca, was right you know." Kaosu said, "I’m not a good guy." Her eyes slowly changed back to their normal color. "But I’m not a bad guy either."

She turned around and walked towards Kurei and Kotohonou. Kotohonou turned around and cried, "YAY! HANA-SAMA!"

Kurei was glad that Kotohonou changed back to her usual weird self, he wasn’t used to her being serious.

"Let’s go." Kaosu said as she walked away.

"Why didn’t you watch the fight and how come you got so serious?" Kurei whispered to Kotohonou.

"Well for your first question; I don’t like to watch people get humiliated." Kotohonou whispered back, "And as for your second; I don’t like seeing her suffer."

"Suffer?" Kurei asked.

"Yeah, anyway, did you get the pictures!" Kotohonou said.

"I got a few."

"YAY!" Kotohonou cried. She started singing We are the Champions as they walked away.

Yanagi was left to heal Recca and Touketsu.
