First day of school is tomorrow for me. Hopefully it goes well, and I'll have enough time to update soon.


Natsumi's eyes fluttered open. Please...Let it be a nightmare. Perhaps when she awoke she'd be surrounded by her friend's and family. Aki would be there, Fuyuki and even Saburo – her...boyfriend? She had never officially broke it off. Her friend, she decided.

She wanted him to be alive.

But when her eye lids opened no such thing was in front of her. To her disgust she felt disappointment when Giroro was in front of her.

Why? He's not at fault for any of this. He's not the cheater. He's just the other guy! I pulled him into this too. He's the one I chose and he's the one who killed the guy who hurt Saburo. Why was she disappointed to see him?

Because it meant someone's death was on her conscious. And she wanted a clean conscious.

"Natsumi!" Giroro's smile made Natsumi feel even more disgusted with herself. It was so honestly in love with her and relieved that she was okay. He hugged her tightly and Natsumi wanted to relax into his touch, wanted to cry and let herself feel like everything was all right. "You were out for a while. I was worried."

She looked around. No Saburo. So the reality of the mental hospital, Saburo's death...It had all been true. She had almost hoped to see aliens and Fuyuki's happy tales instead of the truth.

Everybody around her was grief stricken. They were no longer in a bloodied motel. Instead they were in an alley.

"Where are we?" Her words were forced and cold.

"We ran as fast as we could out of the motel. The police were bound to get there eventually. We're a few towns over, because we were constantly on the move. None of us have had any rest." Giroro explained to her.

Everybody did look tired- emotionally and physically.

"Is...Is Saburo...?" Natsumi let her words hang in the air. Really dead?

Giroro didn't answer. "What we did...It wouldn't have changed anything, Natsumi. He would still be dead." He tried to console her.

Sure the cheating part didn't eat away at his conscious since he believed that Saburo might have been the better person and still saved Fuyuki's life if Natsumi had called things off, but Natsumi was still hurt by it.

Natsumi glanced at Koyuki. Koyuki didn't make direct eye contact. She lived a truthful life, and she wasn't going to coddle her wounds.

Natsumi looked around at her group to see if all of them were looking at her like she was a murderer. She was no therapist, she couldn't tell how many of them hadn't ever seen a death before. Keroro looked particularly shaken.

The stupid frog's never seen someone die probably...She could tell that much.

"G-giroro's...Giroro's right," Keroro tried to console her. "He's dead, Fuyuki isn't. And part of me is glad of that...It's just..." He was turning green again. "Did we really have to kill the robber in cold blood? Maybe he was doing those things for a reason...Maybe he needed the money to help a starving family." He looked at Giroro instead with hatred, an accusing tone.

Saburo's death was mournful to Keroro, but his friend killing someone in cold blood was something even worse.

"It was either him or us. It's like the front lines of a war, sometimes you have to kill to survive." Giroro said coldly.

"I couldn't agree more." Kululu shrugged, "Although I think Saburo's death was pointless and could have easily been avoided if someone had come clean about how much of a whore they were-" He glanced at Natsumi.

Natsumi felt her stomach tighten.

"The robber's death doesn't bother me in the slightest. Ku, ku, ku. We've just learned more about what allies we can trust and which ones we can't. Don't leave Natsumi or Giroro to do anything basically. Because they'd rather screw than help us out."

Giroro grabbed Kululu by the collar about to punch him.

"He's sort of right." Dororo pointed out sadly. He sided with Koyuki. "Not that I wouldn't do the same in your situation! I'm not saying I'm better than you. Very often I'm detached from reality because of my addiction. If I loved someone I'd probably be screwing them too instead of, well...Focusing on helping." Dororo tried to be on both sides.

"Thanks for admitting we can't trust you. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu laughed.

Giroro punched him in the face.

Momoka looked a bit frightened. She didn't want to be in a group that was constantly fighting amongst each other. But she was secretly happy that Saburo had died instead of her or Fuyuki. She grabbed Fuyuki's arm and glanced at him, hoping he agreed with her.

Fuyuki was a bit out of it, so Momoka decided to speak up.

"There's no reason to be pointing fingers. We need to rest, most of us are tired, emotionally and physically." She was a heiress. She needed to be more leaderly. She didn't have time to be focusing on people's deaths.

Tamama nodded. He was looking quite tired. Likely it was the first death he'd seen too. He wasn't clinging to Keroro, so something was clearly off. Even he knew taking advantage of a death was going too far.

The only one who didn't look shaken at all was Angol Mois. Instead she looked very sleepy, trying not to nod off. "Yeah, I would like to rest." She admitted.

"Are you shaken up about the deaths we've witnessed to?" Keroro asked curiously.

Angol Mois shook her head. "Not really. It was just a death. What's the big deal?" She tilted her head to the side not really understanding the concept.

Everyone was quiet for a moment. They had forgotten that likely Kululu wasn't the only psychopath in their party.

Fuyuki's hands shook. "Let's listen to Momoka. We really need to rest. For all our sakes and my sister's."

"Fuyuki..." Natsumi smiled. He was being much more mature in the face of death than her.

"Maybe we can stay at Saburo's place?" Fuyuki smiled and suggested. "I'm sure he'd love to help out our quest."

There was an uncomfortable silence.

Oh yeah...That's his coping mechanism...When someone dies...He forgets about it immediately. Natsumi frowned. She couldn't deal with this. Not about Saburo. It would be a constant reminder that Saburo existed.

"Fuyuki..." Natsumi got up. Her voice was cold, she tried to keep the anger out of her voice.

She knew she had an anger problem. She also knew she had no coping mechanisms whatsoever for it. Although Fuyuki had never been at the receiving end of her anger, he was about to be.

He didn't get to forget when she couldn't. "Saburo is dead. You aren't allowed to forget when I can't! He died protecting you for me because he loved me!" She shouted. "He's not a man in black, he's not an alien, and he's got no magical friendship with Kululu. He doesn't fly around on a flying saucer with his virtual reality pen. He's gone!" Her voice was strained and her face was wet with tears.

Fuyuki stepped back in fear. His sister had never yelled at him so much. "W-what...?"

"They're all gone! Mom, Saburo...Grandma...Dad left! And you can't just be living in a lie. I can't take care of that anymore. It's too hard on me! Saburo is dead. And you saw it happen." Natsumi yelled.

Fuyuki started shaking and shaking his head. Keroro put his hand on Fuyuki's shoulder. "Natsumi...That was a bit harsh."

"Guy's got to face reality sometime. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu didn't care.

Fuyuki just looked around at his 'friends' who were supposed to support him as they looked at him as if they didn't have the emotional energy to stop this barrage of verbal attacks. Like he had this coming.

And Fuyuki for a moment felt like they were right. That maybe he deserved this.

Had Saburo died for him?


Once everybody was finally resting in a run down motel, Natsumi went out for a walk away from the rest of the group. She needed some time to think. About Saburo, about how much she had yelled at Fuyuki...About Giroro, about everything.

Her anger was through the roof. She had never been angrier. She didn't feel the need to punish herself, her group was doing that enough for her, but she felt angry at literally everybody else.

Although she knew Giroro would talk to her about it and understand, she was too angry to think. She just wanted to blame everybody else for her problems. But she also knew that she was here for Fuyuki. She didn't want to hurt him.

So on her walk she took out her anger and let it steam off of her in the only way she knew how- she let it flow through her veins and just did everything it told her to do- which involved punching walls, vending machines, street signs.

She was vandalizing so much. Yelling, laughing, crying, a person might have been in the mix of stop signs but she didn't care.

Her friends weren't around. Nobody was there to stop her. She could finally release all the anger she'd been hiding.

Saburo was dead. What was the worst that could happen? If someone approached her, she'd just kill them as easily as that person had taken Saburo's life.

"Miss- We ask you to please put your fists down and stop hitting things." A group of police officers had come to surround her, and she hadn't even noticed. She had been too angry. She couldn't see anything except her own rage.

"What? Why?" Natsumi asked. If people were surrounding her they wouldn't let her off easy if she just stopped. And she didn't want to stop. Immediately she thought of being separated from Fuyuki and went on the attack. She felt confrontational.

She moved forward to attack a police officer but another one cuffed her. They were more experienced than her. She growled loudly and threw out a slew of cuss words.

"Another mental patient..." Someone sighed. "This girl is clearly deranged. Violent insane impulses and everything."

"So she's not getting a hearing? Not going to be tried?" Another asked.

"We'll locate her family and see if they want to make a case for imprisonment, but I feel like it would be in the poor thing's best interests to be sent to the nearest mental hospital." Another decided.

No...No! Natsumi realized. Giroro had warned her. Her anger drained as she realized his reality was becoming her own.

She tried to struggle but she felt a needle stab her neck. She was knocked out.


Fuyuki was miserable as he tried to think. He had to focus on Saburo's death, remember it. His sister hated that he had forgotten. And he had never seen Natsumi that angry with him.

He almost felt like everyone was sick of him. He was rather quiet for hours as others slept around him trying to blankly get rid of their exhaustion, until he finally spoke.

"Where's sis?" He asked, carefully. Maybe they'd tell him she wasn't around either and that she was dead.

"She went out for a walk." Giroro replied. "I wanted to go with her, but something tells me that she probably wants to be alone right now."

"She left 12 hours ago though." Koyuki pointed out. She was done giving Natsumi the silent treatment. She did like the girl. "You don't think she did something dramatic like killed herself, do you?" She was worried.

Giroro shook his head. "Natsumi isn't the type. If there's anything she did it would be...Damn. I hope she didn't have an angry outburst and get arrested." He stood up and ready to go after Natsumi.

Fuyuki grabbed his arm. "Let me come with you."

"I'll go too." Keroro offered. "Just to make sure she didn't get in trouble,"

Giroro nodded. He hoped his suspicions were wrong.

Keroro grabbed some of Momoka's money in case they needed to pay bail.


It didn't take long before they interviewed people on the street and learned that Natsumi had in fact had a dramatic outburst and been taken away hours ago. Giroro immediately bolted towards the police station to save Natsumi despite being a fugitive.

"Wait." Keroro frowned. "You have a face that sticks out like a sore thumb. Let me go, I look pretty average and generic." He shrugged, "I can say I'm Natsumi's friend and want to pay her bail."

Giroro reluctantly nodded, but he kept as close to the police station as he could. Fuyuki went with Keroro.

"Hello!" Keroro walked through the doors and greeted one of the officer's at the desk. He sounded friendly and optimistic like he wasn't out of place at all. It easily caught the guards off guard, and they welcomed him not suspecting he was fugitive at all. "I'm here about one of my friend's who got arrested for vandalism. Do I need to pay bail, or...?"

"Oh, her...A Miss Natsumi Hinata was it?" The person at the desk asked.

Keroro nodded.

"You can't pay bail. Her outburst was more than just vandalism. It was a disorder. An angry outburst that is dangerous to society." The receptionist told him.

"Y-you didn't...Execute her did you?" Fuyuki asked. That was illegal, right? And would happen way too quickly.

"Of course not! We cared about the girl and knew if we put her in a jail or something her problem wouldn't get any better. So we arranged to have her sent to the nearest mental hospital." The guard said reasonably.

Keroro paled. He tried not to let that shake him. "Well, she's just a little violent. She's got that whole tsundere attitude thing. Watched a bit too many animes." He tried to explain. "There's no need to send her off, let me pay her bail..."

The guard shook his head. "I'm afraid it's too late...She was already taken away. Don't worry, the hospital we sent her to is nice. It was recently refurbished and put under new management, although...It was closed down for several years...And I heard bad rumors before that, but I'm sure they're not true." He laughed.

"Can...Can we see her?" Fuyuki asked, worriedly. They had already escaped one institution. But he wasn't going to let his sister be trapped in another. "Where...Where did you send her?" Did the Hinata house get her?

"Keron." The guard said simply. "And sure. Tell them Bob sent ya, I'm sure they'll be happy to let her have visitors." He was rather chummy.

Keroro nodded, unhappy with the news that Natsumi had been sent to any institution. But Fuyuki could feel himself shake.

Wasn't...Wasn't Keron the place Kululu mentioned was worse than the Hinata House? Suddenly aliens didn't fill his mind, all that was in his mind was real worry for his sister.

He had to face reality, for her sake. Alien dissection probably wasn't in the place called Keron. And neither was an invasion.

Something way worse was there.


When Keroro and Fuyuki shared the news of what happened with Natsumi to Giroro and the rest of the gang, most of them were furious and worried.

"Well, there's only one thing we really can do." Giroro crossed his arms. "We rescue her. That's that. There is no other option. I'm not letting us abandon Natsumi." He was going to save her.

Koyuki nodded agreeing with him. "Hopefully this Keron place isn't as bad as the Hinata house. But I agree with you. We're a group, and despite Natsumi's mistakes we don't abandon one of our own."

Everybody seemed to be in agreement except two people. Kululu was shaking a little, just shaking his head, he looked mad that their group was even suggesting breaking into a mental hospital, but as if he was weighing his options of how quickly he could ditch them.

Angol Mois on the other hand let out a loud scream.
"QUIET DOWN!" Tamama yelled at her, "Do you want the other rooms to come here and scold us and figure out who we are?"

"I have to agree with Tamama here, Mois, there's no reason to scream!" Keroro tried to scold her as well.

Angol Mois wouldn't listen though. Her face was paler than it usually was, her eyes were wide, her hands were covering her ears and shaking. Her legs collapsed under her and she fell to the ground.

"NO! No! I'm not going back!" She yelled, "Never ever! I would sooner die than go back." She just shook her head.

"We can leave you here if you want." Giroro suggested, "You really contribute very little to this group. But I am not putting your comfort over Natsumi's."

"Natsumi is dead if she's in that place! Don't you understand that, there is no surviving Keron with a soul intact. She's either dead or worse." Angol Mois shivered. "If you go you'll be found out and then they'll put you in Keron-"

"I'm willing to endure that for Natsumi then. I would rather be there to support her if she's going through hell than leaving her to go through something that bad on her own." Giroro said with full conviction.

Angol Mois looked around as if she could reason with anyone. Giroro had to be the only one that was that stupid. But everybody seemed to be nodding with him.

"Giroro's kind of right, Mois. If you don't want to go...I hate to say it but we need Natsumi. She really helps us out and has helped us escape the Hinata House. She has plans, life skills...You on the other hand..." Keroro bit his lip. He knew his selfish manipulative nature was coming out again. He wasn't very good with weighing one person's comfort over another. When it came to that he always went with his own.

Mois had helped him a lot, but in the end he had more fun fighting with Natsumi than manipulating Mois.

"Well then...This works out for the best then." Kululu finally decided, glancing around and seeing what was happening as everybody threw Mois under the bus. "I have to admit I never really expected that you had stayed at Keron too, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to go back to that place." Kululu grinned at Mois.

"Oooh...Now I feel really bad when Kululu's the only one who's being empathetic." Keroro rubbed his head.

"You too, huh? I knew there was another patient somewhere in the Hinata House." Mois sighed. "W-was...Was it just as bad as what happened to...?"

Kululu shrugged. "I don't know how they treated to, and I'm smart enough not to ask. But this really does work out. Mois and I will stay behind and go with our original smarter plan to flee the country or something and you guys can your risk your freedom on some suicide mission to rescue some loser. Ku, ku, ku."

"You mean...You aren't coming?" Giroro realized.

"Why would I want to go back to Keron. I know Mois's telling the truth." Kululu neglected to mention he also wasn't going to leave Mois. That wasn't as important as the fact that he hated Keron just as much as she did.

Everybody looked awkward. They knew they needed Kululu. He was the only one who could hack security, find out where Natsumi was, and likely they would never succeed without him. They wouldn't even come close to succeeding.

They looked around. It really was a suicide mission without Kululu.

I need to convince Kululu to come with us. Fuyuki realized. Or else his sister was doomed. Their group was better together, they couldn't just split off.

"Let's uhhh pack up then and get ready for our mission?" Fuyuki suggested. Everybody nodded.

Fuyuki needed some time alone with Kululu.

He had never manipulated someone before, but he knew sometimes he had to do terrible things to help others.

And if there was anyone who had even a chance to convince Kululu it was him. Because unlike everyone else, he seemed to know more about Kululu than anyone. He was observant, perceptive. He knew that.

Even if...Somehow Kululu wasn't an alien and Natsumi was right about the things she had yelled at him about...He still knew Kululu.

And he knew Kululu had manipulated him to get out of the Hinata House. He knew Kululu needed him for something. And he suspected Kululu had killed Sai Uru.

He knew a lot. And he could use it.


Fuyuki waited until the others were busy hiding in the park and getting supplies. He looked around for Kululu- this was where they'd leave Kululu and Mois.

He was about to turn the corner at some bush when he heard Mois's hiccup like sobs.

"There, there?" It didn't sound like Kululu was very good at comforting. He didn't really know what to do for some crying girl.

"I...I don't want to go back. I'm scared. B-but...But they...They all didn't care! Even Mr. Keroro is ditching me because he doesn't care." Angol Mois seemed distraught.

"Um...Well it was bound to happen, I mean...Maybe don't put your faith in people who clearly don't want to be around you?" Kululu was really bad at this.

Angol Mois started crying more.

"Ack! I mean, umm...Stop that...It's hard to see you cry. What do I do? Crap, want to see me make a rocket? No...Rocket science won't stop someone crying." He knew so many things except how to stop tears.

"You don't want to be around me though!" She pointed out.

"Well...Umm...Who's staying with you and who isn't? I mean, obviously I don't have that much of a problem being around you. You helped me get out of the Hinata house even though it wasn't in your best interest just because you knew that they were going to give me a lobotomy. You did it for nothing. It would be kind of terrible of me to not do the same for you, when I know Keron probably hasn't changed a bit." Kululu tried to explain.

Lobotomy? This was news to Fuyuki. So that was why Kululu didn't want to be caught. If they were caught, it was game over for Kululu.

Absent mindidly, he wondered if Kululu had devised everybody's motives to leave just so he could have an opportunity at escape. Fuyuki didn't blame him if this was the case, but still...He could use this.

"Kululu...Thank you...For sticking by me. I promise I won't let you get caught. I'll do everything in my power to keep us from being found." Angol Mois promised.

"See? There's the terrible Mois I know. Even when in a bad situation yourself, you're looking out for others, like me. And I wasn't going to go to Keron anyway, it's just...Now that you're not going I have a lot more reason to leave the group. Sure they could be useful for some purposes, but you're...You're better."

"Kululu, I...Thank you..." Angol Mois smiled.

Fuyuki tripped in his bush. He knew there was probably some sort of romantic moment going on but he couldn't help ruining it.

Kululu and Angol Mois looked over.

"Sorry! I just...I was wondering if I could talk to Kululu for a moment." Fuyuki smiled.

Crap...Did he hear about the lobotomy? Kululu wondered. Oh well, if he did, what can that little Fuyuki do about it? He's a useless wimp. He wasn't intimidated.

Kululu nodded and Angol Mois hurried off so Kululu and Fuyuki could have some alone time together.

Fuyuki smiled for a moment. He was confident Kululu would come with. "I need to ask you a favor. Come with us to Keron. Save my sister."

"No." Kululu rejected him firmly.

"Well then." Fuyuki smiled. "This is going to be fun..." He needed to keep calm. It was his first time manipulating someone. "I'll tell everybody about how you killed Sai. I'll tell the authorities...Everybody will know."

Kululu thought for a moment. "You're more observant than I gave you credit for. So you figured out that I killed her? Ku, ku, ku. Then you should be scared, because I could just as easily kill you."

"You won't." Fuyuki said confidently. "Because I told Giroro that if I'm not back in ten minutes, to find you and drop you off at the police station. They'll know who you are and bring you back to the Hinata house." Fuyuki smiled. It was a complete lie. He hadn't told Giroro anything, but now that he knew Kululu was afraid of going back to the Hinata house because of a lobotomy- more so than being killed, he could use that.

"You're lying." Kululu deciphered.

"Might be. But if I died, the Nishizawas would find you. Momoka wouldn't stand for my death." Fuyuki was confident about that.

Kululu's confidence wavered. "Telling people about Sai won't hurt me. I've killed before."

"I'll tell them where you plan to go. And...I'm beginning to realize all your manipulative ways...Somehow in the Hinata house, you gave everyone motives to leave, didn't you? You arranged for Giroro's mother to visit him. I'm sure he wouldn't stand for that...You manipulated everyone. You've made a lot of enemies Kululu that would be happy to learn that you're their enemy." Fuyuki smiled.

Kululu looked frightened for a moment. He wasn't very good at hiding on his own. And the enemies he had made were powerful- especially Momoka. They knew his way of thinking, and although he wanted to pretend he wasn't afraid of Fuyuki he knew that Fuyuki was observant and smart. He knew things about Kululu that Kululu had never told him, like his love for curry. Likely Fuyuki could predict where he would go.

"I promise you, if you don't save my sister I will make sure you get a lobotomy. I will do whatever lies and healing they want me to do, I will become one of them and I will hunt you until my dying days. And then when your mind is gone you won't be yourself anymore. Your intelligence will be gone and you won't have anything." Fuyuki threatened. He no longer looked like a wimpy or frightened boy.

It wasn't like their first meeting. Fuyuki had all the power. Kululu wasn't bound in chains, but Kululu realized how powerless he was.

"What do you want me to do? Hack the systems? Murder the guards? Aren't you against killing?" Kululu tried to convince him that he didn't need him.

"If that's what it takes to save my sister, yes. She'd do the same for me." Something inside him said that Natsumi was his last family. He needed to save her.

"I...I can't..." Kululu finally said. "Even with your threats. If you know about the lobotomy I assume you heard my conversation with Mois. You know I can't just leave her and she's not going so I'm not going-" Kululu tried to put the pressure on Mois instead of him. Fuyuki would have to try to convince Mois and that in his mind was impossible.

"You think I couldn't convince Mois? You've forgotten one thing about her that I understand but you don't. Her views about aliens." Fuyuki smiled. "I'm the only one who knows what her model of cellphone looks like. She's obsessed with that thing. If I told her it was off a cliff she'd jump off a cliff to get it, thinking she could fly. She trusts me because we have the same views." Fuyuki pretended for a moment that aliens didn't exist.

He knew Kululu didn't think he was an alien after all. He was just using Fuyuki's beliefs to manipulate him.

Kululu looked terrified, honestly frightened. "S-she wouldn't...She wouldn't go to Keron just because you told her too. If I said I was going it would be a betrayal to her..."

"If bringing her against her will is what it takes to bring you, I'd do it. I have a lot more allies than you do." Fuyuki spoke confidentially. He knew Koyuki and Giroro were both strong enough to bring her and knew of Kululu's importance.

"I-"

"I'll tell her you have a crush on her if you don't come." Fuyuki used his last threat.

"That is not true." Kululu frowned. He tried to think of a way out of this situation. "If...If we go to Keron to save Natsumi, we're doing it right though. I'm in charge of the situation and planning because we're not getting caught."

Fuyuki smiled. "Deal."

Kululu just could not refuse. Too much was at risk. I underestimated this Fuyuki kid. He's a dangerous opponent.

Kululu didn't want to go back to Keron. But for the sake of his freedom from Fuyuki he'd do it.

Because when Fuyuki of all people was your enemy...It was terrifying.


The group met up at a sort of fountain. Angol Mois assumed she was waving everyone off.

"Well, umm...So I spoke with Fuyuki a bit, and he made some very compelling arguments..." Kululu shuffled his feet awkwardly. "I've decided to come with you to save Natsumi. But we're doing it right and nobody is getting captured and you will listen to my every command."

Giroro smiled. Fuyuki had done it. "Deal!"

"First off...Giroro, put your underwear on your head." Kululu couldn't resist.

Giroro looked confused but did as he was told.

Everybody laughed. Giroro growled realizing he had been played when Kululu was laughing too.

"Wait...But Kululu...You said you weren't going..." Mois looked shocked, "I thought you didn't like that place either?"

"It's probably not as bad as when we were there." Kululu tried to lie, "Although I could understand how it could still be a trigger..."

Mois shook her head frantically and covered her ears. "I..." She didn't want to be on her own, but she wasn't ever going to go back. Even Kululu had abandoned her. Her eyes started to tear up again.

"Look, we'll probably need your abilities to get into random places anyway, because it would be hard to meet up again with you if we split off. Also likely if you were on your own you'd get caught by the Hinata House people. So what I'm saying is...Even though I know you won't like it, come with us." Kululu grit his teeth.

"No!" Angol Mois refused.

Kululu knew this was hard on her. Especially since he knew her fears were valid, but he also didn't want to be separated from her. He needed her to come with. "I'll...I'll be with you every moment when we're there. You can even, I don't know...Hold onto me or something so we don't get separated. You are not going to be captured again. I'll...I'll protect you, mmkay?" He didn't really like vowing embarrassing stuff like this, but Mois really needed it.

"Why do you need me to come with? Why are you even going?" Mois asked.

Kululu looked around awkwardly. Everybody wasn't really watching Mois, they were paying attention to Giroro with his underwear still on his head. He had forgotten to take it off. Kululu answered back in french, confident that nobody else could understand. (Unaware that Momoka could in fact speak the language as well)

"Fuyuki threatened me a bit, and I have to. I'm sorry. But I need you to come with. I...I need you, Mois. I know this is selfish, but you're the only moral support I have..." He knew appealing to her friendship would get her to go. She cared more about him than her well being.

Still, it was true. He wanted her by his side.

Mois did something unexpected and threw herself at him to hug him. The line had really gotten to her, and she was frightened. Kululu was frantically embarrassed, not sure what to do at all. He thought he might pass out.

"I'll go...Just hold my hand the entire time, please. Stay with me." She begged.

Kululu couldn't refuse.

"So...Everything should be fine. Mois's coming with." Kululu bit his lip, not sure how to un tangle himself from her. It was embarrassing.

"We better go off then. For Natsumi's sake." Giroro nodded.

No more time could be wasted.


Lots of kurumois this chapter.

Anyway, please review. The Keron 'mini arc' or something like that will probably be only two chapters.
