Oh, NOW I get alot of views xD Lol, not the point but thanks to everyone who reviewed last chappie! You guys all rock! That's all I gotta say. I did reply to DKK about the review that was sent personally, containing answers so that I have more space to write here! xD

Full Summary: Danny's been missing for 2 months now. No one, not even the infamous brilliant Vlad Masters know where he is... imagine his surprise when he sees a 4-year-old boy with big blue glacial eyes named Danny at his door, asking him if he's seen his favorite firefly... Chaptered Song-fic. V/D F/S

Yeah... I SO broke my promise. Sorry dear readers, I'm trying my hardest, I swear.

Summer is a toll... when you think you have a lot of time, you don't. And you get extra Writer's Block for some reason o_o

*Blows through a trumpet*

Oh and Frooty... I changed it because when I reread it I realized that one of the scenes reminds people of something... o.o yeah...

Ok... Today's my birthday and I decided not to be some lazy (***) slacker who couldn't bother to edit their own story. Cause it was pretty rushed. I hope it's not as bad as it was before x.o... And the father-son (rushed) moment was taken out because I do not want to abuse the story...

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

The next morning

5:45

It began raining, pouring very hard. "Plitter-Platter-Plitter-Platter" went the roof, annoying Danny a little. He tried his best to fall into oblivion. He didn't see any rain for the past 3 months, since the ghost zone apparently didn't have any form of clear liquid in the green flip side of the Earth. Right when he was slowly going back into sleep, thunder resonated the young hybrid's ears, snapping Danny's eyes wide open.

He saw another white flash strike from the slightly-closed shutters of his window, and another deafening roar penetrated Danny's vulnerable ears. He covered his ears, and shook with fear and apprehension. He quickly snapped under the blankets of the bed, and let out a small whimper. Another thunder roared, and Danny could feel the chills seeping into his skin. He felt cold, scared and alone at night sometimes.

He quickly flipped the blankets that were above his head onto the side and jumped right off the bed, his feet abruptly feeling the cold hard carpeted ground. He first slipped on his socks and sneakers. Then, he slowly, his hands shivering yet protecting his arms from the cold, walked towards the door, where he could see light coming from the space between the door's frame and the actual door. He coughed a bit before quickly hurrying to the door with another rumble coming from the thunder.

He opened the door a little, seeing a warm and fuzzy light coming from the chandelier. He blinked, and then blinked again as his pupils dilated to become accustomed to the light. He closed his eyes and headed down the long hall, his sneakers at least giving him some warmth. He then realized that only his part of the hall had a light, the other's were just plain dark. He was now at a border between what is left of the light. He couldn't see what was ahead.

He shuffled uncomfortably. His eyes lit up with horror as another roar of thunder echoed throughout the seemingly empty mansion. There were a few windows at the end of each hall, so whenever lightning struck, he could see the white flash from the window. His soft footsteps began to shuffle into the hallway. Soon, the hallway was covered with complete darkness, and Danny closed his eyes in desperation. When he opened them, however, his eyes glowed a dangerously soft emerald green.

He began walking down the hallway, shivering uneasily at the coldness that filled the air. Night vision had turned his whole world green now. The young boy was relieved to find a big door-frame that was encased with dim light that was visible in the hallway. He could see the shadow and knew that 'Uncle Vlad' was probably in there. The shadow was of a figure who was sitting at a table, doing his work.

He unhesitatingly walked in, still sniffling with a runny nose now. The first thing the halfa experienced when he walked in was heat, actual heat. He saw that the light that flooded the room was from a mildly on-going fire from the fireplace. The whole office was filled with large shelves that carried countless numbers of books. And two huge windows stood right at the long end of the room, showing a vivid view of the entire scenery that covered the mansion.

Danny noticed that the man didn't notice that he had walked in. He stepped forward in a sluggish motion, still taking in the warm heat that now ebbed his coldness from before. Endless numbers of paperwork covered the desk, scattered around. Right next to the laptop on the other side was a small reading lamp that didn't glow much less brighter than the fire.

Vlad was silently typing on the computer and filling in his paperwork. He wore reading glasses and put on an apathetic look on his face. His steel blue eyes locked onto whatever he was reading. His expression had 'don't interrupt now' all over his face. Danny argued with himself whether he should be here or not. He didn't want to be rude, especially since Vlad was so nice to let him stay over for the night. In the end, he decided to go for it.

"Uncle Vlad?" Danny squeaked, weariness coating his eyes. Vlad sharply turned around at the voice of the owner. His eyes slightly widened at the sight of the very much wide-awake hybrid. Vlad walked towards him and kneeled down right in front of him. "What's wrong, my boy?"

"The white flash thingy scares me," Danny pointed to the twin windows, the only emotion being heard in that statement being fear. Vlad raised an eyebrow, when he suddenly heard it right outside:

A flash of lightning followed by a clap of thunder following. Danny tugged on Vlad, obviously frightened by the loud noise similar to a gunshot. "You mean the lightning?" Danny nodded with scared fearful eyes. Vlad sighed, the boy was only four years old right now.

"It's alright Daniel, the lightning's not going to hurt you. You see, this house will protect you." The older hybrid tried to explain by waving his hands, gesturing towards the roof and walls of the study. Danny still didn't feel safe though, and he only nodded his head a little, but his expression said otherwise. Vlad sighed.

"Daniel, why are you so afraid of lightning?"

"Uh..." Danny couldn't think, but then he remembered one of the reasons, but quickly shoved it away from telling Vlad.

"Well, little badger? Something troubling you?" Danny quickly shook his head, the consequences of lack of sleep taking over him. "It's ok, you can tell me anything."

"Nuh-thing,"

"Then you should go get some sleep now, Daniel." Vlad suggested to the boy gently. Danny didn't make a movement to his "room".

"I'm afraid of the lie-ting" Danny confessed, and Vlad just put his hands on the child's shoulders.

"Daniel, I can't help you if you can't tell me why." He only got a shake of the head in response. A frown appeared on the billionaire's face.

"Don't worry, Daniel, nothing's going to happen to you. Just head back to your room, everything's going to be fine." The four-year-old hesitated before nodding in response, and began to slowly walk back to his room, taking the same exact route back. Vlad sighed. He didn't know why he should be bothering with attempting to improve this relationship. It was obvious that once Daniel turns back into a 14-year-old that he'll be gone forever. He'll never want to become his son.

Yet, he finds the four-year-old version much cuter and adorable, Vlad knows the right thing to do. He needs to find a cure for this madness. The man's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of a cellphone. Vlad took the small device from his pocket and answered it.

"Hello?" Vlad awaited for an answer.

"Yes, good morning Mister Masters," A male voice came from the phone

"Good morning? Why in blazes are you calling me at 6:00 in the morning?" Vlad couldn't resist to ask that, but it was a reasonable question to mention. "I have to go to a meeting soon and it may last the entire day." The deep voice answered back. A sigh escaped from Vlad's mouth, and he suppressed all the negative thoughts running in his head.

"Well, what is your decision?"

"I am certainly interested in some of the businesses you own in VladCo. Since they fit my specific description of my companies, perhaps if we meet together we can negotiate which companies you want to sell and the prices that may come with them?"

"When can you visit?"

"Mister Masters, with all respect towards you and all your companies, I'm a very busy man, and I'm afraid that I cannot afford to spend time to fly over to Wisconsin. It appears you have to fly over to me,"

"I'm a very busy man also, Erik, you should realize that also. I have some 'family' troubles to attend to... I'm afraid that I have to attend and babysit my 'nephew' Daniel at all times."

"Well, I'm sorry but maybe we could work out something when your nephew leaves..when are you free?"

"The amount of time I will be babysitting Daniel is indefinite, I will call you as soon as I get this whole situation fixed."

"I need to know the time, now. How old is the kid, like 17? He should be able to take care of himself."

"Daniel's 4. Which is exactly the reason I need to keep my eye on him at all times."

"Can't you just bring him along with you? Decide now, Mister Masters. I only have a few minutes left before I head off into the company's meeting."

"Where are you, exactly?"

"I'm in Tokyo," Vlad winced.

"Is there a problem, Mister Masters?"

"How will I keep the boy entertained? I cannot lock him in a hotel room forever."

"It's a personal bargain between you and me, I won't mind him at all... [even him being a four-year old brat]" That last part Vlad could hear through the phone left him a bit exasperated. This man just called Daniel, the adorable and cute 4-year-old (at the time at least), a little brat. Sure, he was being a hypocrite since he called Daniel a "brat", but only when he deserves it.

"I'll see you there, then."

"See you there... Erik." Multiple rings could be heard, indicating that the associate known as "Erik" had hung up in pursuit of his own affairs. Vlad could only sit there, wondering about what to do with Daniel. Erik was just as powerful as he was, but he was still more powerful since he had a variety of companies, a few people didn't even know belonged to him.

All he had to do now was book the hotel reservations and tell Daniel about going to Tokyo in the morning... err... when he wakes up. Oh, and he had to cook breakfast for Daniel too since his maids and cooks were out on vacation.

"Well, little badger... looks like your going to Japan," Vlad spoke to no one in particular. What Vlad didn't notice was the shadow of a little firefly with a crooked antenna spying on him on top of a bookshelf behind him.

Was that worth it? No. But I updated. And I wanted to on my birthday.

Someday, I'm going to update this chapter and make it longer. Hopefully soon.
