It burns. It's hot. It's comfortable. It's addictive. It's also wet.

She separates away from him and lies on her back with exhaustion " hehe. Shiro shiro."

"Niko." He cupped her cheek to look into his eyes. He mustered up the courage to ask the question. Not because he's afraid. A question, she's afraid of. " I want to stay. Ok? "

" what?" she gets off the bed and pulls her clothes off the floor " don't look for me until you're not crazy." and she leaves the bedroom.

niko: he's crazy !! Crazy you know!!

Rikuo sweatdrops " I have to go school."

niko: huh?!! What school?!! You graduated already!! Didn't you?

rikuo: I am studying university.

niko: eh? That thing is compulsory? Is it fun? Is it like high school? 

rikuo sighs " I have to go. You talk to ... kubinashi!" Kubinashi looks to their direction "huh?"

" thanks for having me!" hiumura carries her things in. Rikuo goes over to help her " you're moving in today? Why didn't you tell me?"

hiumura: eh? It's not ok? I didn't tell you? I thought I did.

kubinashi: she did, master. I prepared the room. I will go help too.

hiumura: I asked asari to help to.

" hmph. No one wants to listen to me."  she starts to leave through the door, walking pass them.

hiumura: what's wrong with her?

Rikuo sighs " complaining about her lover, but she's not really clear so I am not sure either. Just , he's crazy."

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. Whenever she went out, the little girl wore a red riding cloak, so everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.

One morning, Little Red Riding Hood asked her mother if she could go to visit her grandmother as it had been awhile since they'd seen each other.

"That's a good idea," her mother said. So they packed a nice basket for Little Red Riding Hood to take to her grandmother.

When the basket was ready, the little girl put on her red cloak and kissed her mother goodbye.

<by Leanne Guenther>

She approached Hiumura and Asari with her basket " hello, Onee-chan, Onii-chan. Do you want  a red and shiny and yummy food from me?"

onee-chan = elder sister

onii-chan = elder brother

hiumura: hello little girl. So cute. I am not sure. Why don't you tell me?

asari: let me guess. Flowers. Right?

" no! You can't eat flowers!! It's... apples!!" she opened the basket "see."

asari: you almost remind me of the red riding hood.

" how do you know? That's me! Red! The little red riding hood! "

asari laughed " yes yes. I will believe you."

red: but I am red.

hiumura: how much do they costs? I will buy all of them from you.

red: no need. They are free!

hiumura: free?

Red nods " um hm. They are from my mother's garden. My mother told me to bring them to my grandma to make apple pies. But my grandma is sick, so she told me to give away the apples and then go home. Do you want it?"

hiumura: are you sure?

Red : um. Please take it. It's so heavy, I don't want to bring it home.

Hiumura: alright then.

Asari takes the basket over " thank you little red riding hood." He strokes the little girl's head. 

"hehe. No need. Remember to come visit me after you eat the apples."The little girl then goes of jolly jumping on her way. 

asari: what a cute little girl. Ah, does she know her way home?

hiumura: she'll be fine. I mean, she's a demon.

asari: eh?!! She's a demon?!! Wait, I can see her?!! I thought the effects are already from that day?!

hiumura: oh. I forgot tell you. Cos you got invaded by a ghost before, you will forever be able to see demons and ghosts now. Irreversible.

asari: great. Then why couldn't I before? I had to eat some chocolate.

hiumura rolls her eyes slightly " I know how niko feels now. Your mum partially closed your ghost seeing eyes for you temporarily."

asari: I see. So she purposely tricked me to eating that chocolate!!! That shinigami!!

On some random balcony...

niko: gin gin.

gintoki turns around " ahh!!! Onii Baa baa !!" (demon old lady)

Niko anime veins " what? I dare you repeat that. Shiro Baka" (White Idiot)

gintoki: shiroyasha da!!!

Niko : shiro baka. Shiro baka. Shiro baka.

Gintoki : alright alright . Fine. Joking. In a bad mood?

niko: what makes you say that?

" you would have taken out your scythe to try cut him down by now." itachi speaks. " what's wrong? Our boss."

Niko sighs "Hi, itachi. I can't go back home today. I don't want to see him. "

gintoki: lover's quarrel?

niko: why are you here? So free suddenly to come here.

itachi: Helped this guy to get rid of a wanted demon.

niko: oh. Ai-sama asks me to convince you to consider being captain of a squad.

itachi: I refuse. I had enough of that kind of responsibilities when I was alive. Don't deflect. What's the matter?

niko: let me stay at yours.

itachi: can't. You have your own home, don't you. 

niko: gin gin.

gintoki: don't want. I don't want people to hear rumours about me , like I want to take advantage of a baa baa .

Niko anime veins " Gin gin. You suddenly got bored? Huh?!!! " and pulls onto his natural perm hair, dragging him across the floor.

gintoki: help!! A baa baa wants to rape me!!

itachi laughs a little " have fun."

gintoki: you traitor!! Itachi!! Save me!!

Kubinashi opens the door " hiumura. We prepared your dinner..." He sees the hiumura and asari munching apple after apple non-stop, stuffing it into their faces. " is it that yummy?" kubinashi took an apple from the basket and smells . He throws the apple away and forces the apple away from their hands . 

" grrr..." the two growled at kubinashi and they ran pass him. Kubinashi goes to chase after them, but that's when rikuo comes walking in " kubinashi. Do we still have that tea? I want to drink some."

kubinashi: master!! Hiumura and Asari! They ate apples and have went off!!

rikuo: huh?

kubinashi: er... apples!! Red riding hood!!

rikuo: I don't...

kubinashi: fairytale!!

rikuo: apples belong to snow white.

kubinashi: The apples are made from that old lady, but the ones giving them away is Red. The apples makes the eater go to their lair and listen to their every bid.

rikuo: what?!! Let's go !!

_____________________________

Rikuo: mika!! asari !!

kubinashi: they can't hear you. The apples do that.

Red: hehehe. They are mine now.

Mika and Asari continues walking to red's side, standing to behind her as saliva continue to droll from their mouth. Rikuo unsheathes his blade " let them go now."

red: or what? hehehe. Kill me? Wolfie!! Someone wants to bully me!

Wolfie comes walking out " who wants to bully my dear Red?"

" them wolfie! Them!" Red pouts and points at rikuo and kubinashi. Wolfie pulls red behind " no no, that one is nurarihyon, we will get our ass kicked." he whispers.

red: *whispers* you think I don't know, but we only lack two.

wolfie: *whispers* let's just let these two go and get another two. 

red: *whispers* ok ok.

" ahem." Wolfie turns around "we... will let go of them! Not because we are scared of you!"

red: exactly!!! We're not!!

wolfie: we will see you another day!! We just think they are not suitable for our project!! So... good day!!

And the two of them starts to run. Rikuo and kubinashi sweatdrops " kubinashi." rikuo orders. "hai. Master." kubinashi releases his red strings and the red string tangles red up ties her up.

red: wolfie!!

wolfie: red!! GGGrrrr.... *kneels immediately* please let her go.

_____________________________

gintoki: ah... hi... shinigami is here. What is it?

Asari sweatdrops " that's... a shinigami? Feels more like a ruffian... "

gintoki: ok. Goodbye.

rikuo: ei !!! 

gintoki turns around " what? I can't go now?"

rikuo: we don't really know what to do with them.

gintoki goes over " oh ho... look who we have here." his smile becomes big and a little evil.

red: crap, off all shinigamis.

wolfie: we want someone else!

red: yea !! someone else!! He isn't a shinigami!!

" what did you say?!! Brats!!" He knocks their head with his wooden sword. 

*two big bumps on each head*

" sowwy." the two immediately says.

hiumura: where's niko? I texted her.

gintoki: not free. What did these two dumb dumb do now? Feed people funny apples?

kubinashi: hai. The apples make humans , demons and probably spirits as well susceptible to listening to anyone's bid. 

gintoki: eh... I thought you two just feed people apples that make them faint, then play pranks on them.

red: that was... the usual plan.

wolfie: but Grimhilde gave us some new apples this time. Said it would make things a lot of funner. But then there was some condition.

gintoki: what condition?

red: the people or demons we bring to our lair have to give to this ghost. We don't know what he does with them. He doesn't let us now.

Gintoki pulls onto wolfie ears " and you don't think there's anything suspicious? Are you dumb? So much for living for so many ears."

wolfie: ouch ouch ouch...

red: don't bully wolfie!! We did want back the old apples. Grimhilde didn't want to give it to us. She even said, if we didn't continue doing this, the ghost has strong friends, like demons. Will eat us up.

Gintoki lets wolfie's ear go " I see..." He digs his ear " ok. Goodnight." and he leaves.

rikuo: what do I do with them?!

gintoki: how would I know.
