Mistress waved and smiled. "Hey, Rose. I've been looking all over for you. Did you get my PM?"

Lily shook her head. "I just got here, I haven't had time, but I'll make sure to go check right away."

"Don't worry about it," said Mistress placing her arm around Lily's shoulders and guiding her back to the main hallway. "Now that you're here, there's no need for that PM anyway."

As they reached the end of the hallway, Lily saw Daisuke zip past them, do a double take and stop. He strolled back to them. "Hey Lil....you're not Lily." He said looking at her.

Lily looked taken back for a second then remembered who she was. She extended her hand which Daisuke graciously took. "My name is Rose. I'm Lily's sister, I'm sure she's told you so much about me."

Daisuke looked around nervously. "Err....now really, actually." He smiled over at Mistress. "Well, either way. My name's Daisuke."

"I know who you are," whispered Mistress which had Lily and Daisuke staring at her. She ran her perfectly manicured fingernails through her silk hair and coughed politely. "Well, I really must be going." She turned to hide her blushing face. Lily wasn't sure if she was blushing out of embarrassment or what. "We'll catch up some other time. Don't be a stranger now, Rose." She patted Lily's head and strolled off to the exit.

Daisuke and Lily stood blinking at each other in confusion as they watched her leave. "That was weird," said Lily.

Daisuke nodded in agreement. "Yeah." He looked over at her through the corner of his eye. It confused him, the way he felt when he looked at her. Even though she had the same face as Lily, she wasn't Lily. Her voice was a little more high pitched and innocent then Lily's but the resemblance was so uncanny. The way Lily made him feel was different, he had a slight idea what it could mean but he wasn't willing to chance it. "You and Lily get along ok?"

She shrugged. "We get along like most sisters would. We're kind of like, Yin and Yang you know?"

Daisuke chuckled. "Which one is which?"

Lily flashed him a devious smile. "Guess you'll just have to find out won't you?"
A big smile stretched across his face then softened when he heard a soft 'ding' in his head. "Sorry but you'll have to excuse me. I have a PM that needs to be answered. Lily should be around here, why not go look for her and I'll treat you both to some dinner."

Lily smiled and nodded. "Ok, sounds like fun."

Daisuke turned and jogged down the Gaming Hallway and to the opening of the PM door. If I can take them both out, I can confirm something, he thought to himself.

Lily let out a sigh and decided to head back into the Video Game room to play some games with Shadowclone when she felt a soft tingling in her stomach. She gripped onto it and knew exactly what that feeling was. She looked around furiously before spotting a washroom and running inside. Her breathing became scarce as she ran into one of the stalls and prayed no one came in. She felt the heat build around her, cutting off her blood and breathing. Her hair pulled back tight into a ponytail as it had this morning. She bit down hard onto her lower lip to stop from screaming out from the intense heat.

The smell of the washroom returned to her nose and she looked down at herself. She was back in her old body, back into Lily once again. "That was weird. I wonder why Rose just changed like that," she whispered to herself in the emptiness of the washroom.

She stepped back out into the hallway as Daisuke came up through the Gaming Hallway. He smiled and waved as he spotted her. "Hey Lily," he said running up to her. He had to stop himself from hugging her before she could notice his advance. "What happened to Rose?"

Lily looked around and shrugged. "I didn't even know she was here," she lied hoping she didn't seem too obvious. She heard a soft 'ding' in her head. "Oh! I have a PM."

Daisuke smiled and pointed back to the Gaming Hallway. "There's one down there."

"Wanna walk with me?" she asked extending her hand.
Daisuke looked a little taken back as Lily raised her eyebrow at him. "Umm yeah sure." He bypassed holding her hand and kept his head slightly to the side to hold back the rising blush.

She shrugged and walked next to him and into the PM room. When she sat down, she typed in her password and Veronica confirmed her. Her PM box window popped up and Lily's heart stopped. There, like an open sore staring back at her, was the letter 'X' as the sender.

Daisuke leaned over her shoulder and looked at the name. "I didn't know we had a member named 'X'."

Lily wanted to reply 'you don't' but stopped herself. She looked over at Daisuke who immediately got the message and stepped back. She opened it and read to herself.

Lily, my darling. How are you?
Me you ask? Well I'm doing just fine. Let me ask Sakura how she's doing. What's that? Not so good. Hmm....that is a problem. I do so hate it when my guests aren't happy. Perhaps, death is the ultimate form of happiness. Such beautiful flowers here in this field. Too bad she'll never see them since we're under ground. Hey, Lily how's Black Rose? Are you taking good care of her?
Well I have some judging to do, see you if you can find me. Sakura, hopes you can find me.
Lots of love,
X

"You bastard!" screamed Lily, slamming her fists against the table. Daisuke looked over in surprise as Lily stood up quickly. She went to run out when Daisuke caught her in his arm and tried to calm her. His sleeve was turning hot and wet from her tears.

"Calm down Lily!" he cried trying to restrain her. "What happened?"

"I'll kill that bastard once and for all," she hissed through her clenched teeth. "If he hurts her, I swear...."

"Hurt who? Who are you talking about Lily?" He spun her around and gripped her shoulders. "If someone’s in trouble, you need to tell me."

Lily shook her head, tears flying off of her face as she did. "No, I can handle this. Just let me go."

"It's my job, Lily. Where is this guy and who's in trouble? Tell me," he demanded in a soft whisper.

Lily looked away. "Somewhere in a field full of flowers, but he said he's under ground. I have no idea where anything like that can be.... I don't have time for this! I have to get to Sakura."

Daisuke thought for a moment. He lightly touched his chest above his heart. "A field of flowers? The only one I can think of is the Orchid Patch just outside of NC. That's the only one I know of."

Lily stepped away. "It's the only lead I got." Daisuke ran past her and through the door before she could blink. "Hey wait!" She cried chasing after him. Once she caught up to him she glared at him, her legs beating fast to keep up with him. "I said I can do this myself, Dai."

"Members shouldn't get involved in dangerous stuff, Lily. Just go back home and I'll bring back Sakura."

Lily grabbed his arm and dug her feet into the ground until he stopped. "You have no idea what's going on Daisuke." Her voice was cracking from the tears but she tried to stay strong. "He's after me, and using anyone who's connected to me to get what he wants."

"What does this guy want with you anyway?"

"I don't know," she replied quickly. "I really don't know his intentions. But, what I do know is Sakura is my friend and I made a promise to someone that I'd protect her. We go together."

"Lily...."

"I said we go together!" Lily snapped.

Daisuke sighed and tapped his right index finger and middle finger above his heart. "Fine, but don't tell Shino that I'm taking you with me." The green square on his right palm glowed bright green before sinking back into the dark shade it was before. Orchid pedals shot around him from the little green square and swirled around his body. The white pedals brushed his skin lightly replacing his old clothes with thick black cloth. He reached his right hand high into the air and out from the green square came a long staff, like the one Lily had seen Mika carrying back at NC. But when Daisuke grasped it, it transformed into a katana that he placed on his back. When the pedals dispersed, Lily saw before her Daisuke in his Mod outfit once again. "Come on," he said bending down in front of her. "It'll be much faster if you get on my back."

Lily stood there stunned. She blinked and shook her head before nodding. "Ok," she said as she climbed unto his back.

"Hang on tight," Daisuke said with a smile as he wrapped arms around her legs.

A rush of wind hit Lily and had her bending her face down behind Daisuke's neck as he began to run in nonhuman speeds. She threw her arms around his neck and looked over his shoulder, the wind stinging her eyes. She didn't care. Hang on Sakura. I'm coming for you.

well there's the end of chapter 12 gonna go work on chapter 13 now and then chapter 3 of pure sin ^^ or is it the other way around? @.@
