Guren drove in front of the car the Mitsuba squad was in, leading the way to somewhere. He hadn't told anyone from Yuu's where they were going, but he'd been in the car for an hour now, which was never a good thing. Yuu, who was in the passenger's seat, was starting to complain about Guren and made Kimizuki who was driving irritated. Shinoa was in the back, making comments every so often. Yoichi sat in between the girls, dozing off. Mitsuba was behind Yuu, staying quiet and looking out the window.

Yuu groaned, grabbing the portable radio. Before anyone could stop him, he had already started shouting insults into it.

"Hey, Guren, how much is longer are we going to be stuck in this stupid car? Where are we even going? I swear, if you're dropping us off at some random location, I'll--"

Kimizuki grabbed the radio from his hand, sigh in exhaustion. "Sorry about that, Guren. We'll be keeping it away from him."

The radio was silent for a moment before there was a reply. It was a Shinya who had answered.

"It's fine," he giggled. "It'll only be a few more minutes."

In the background, they heard Guren shouting at Shinya. There was another laugh and the line went dead. Afterward, Kimizuki grabbed the small radio by Yuu's feet and threw it to the three in the back. It landed on Yoichi's lap, causing him to shriek and look around for an attack. Shinoa grabbed the radio first, turning it on and talking into it. Mitsuba and Kimizuki both sighed know they'd get chewed out for this.

Ten minutes later, Guren pulled over and parked. Kimizuki did the same, and everyone filed out of the car. Immediately, Guren started shouting and Yuu and Shinoa. Yuu shouted back while Shinoa looked amused at the scolding she was getting.

"Guren!" Mito shouted, stopping him from arguing with Yuu further. "Explain to them why we're here."

He sighed. "Right. As you guys know it's the holidays. Christmas is a week away. So, after setting up a few meetings with... a few comparative vampires, we now have a temporary truce. For the next three weeks, there will be no fighting between us."

"What the hell does that have to do with us?" Yuu asked. "Why are we here?"

"While we're on a truce, a group from both sides will be staying here. I've chosen you guys for that group."

All five kids started to complain, shouting all the things that could go wrong. Guren sighed, running a hand through his hair. He turned around giving the members of his group a plea for help. Shinya stepped up, causing Guren to regret everything.

"Don't worry guys. We'll be here too."

"What if they break this so called truce?" Mitsuba asked.

"Weapons aren't allowed beyond that gate," he informed them, gesturing to the gate across the street. Within the secluded area was a long driveway, a fountain and a garden. Beyond that was a mansion, which they assumed they'd be staying in.

Guren opened the trunk to the car, tossing his sword inside. He turned to rest of them, pointing at the trunk. Mito, Goshi, Sayuri, Shigure, and Shinya did the same. They all waited for the younger group to do the same. Mitsuba did first, the Shinoa and Yoichi. Kimizuki did as well grumbling about something. The only one left was Yuu.

"No," he flatly said. "I will not be turning my weapon over, not will I be entering that building so long as there are vampires."

In the end, the four members of his group tackled him, ripping his katana from his grasp. He struggled against the three who were restraining him as Shinoa place the weapon with the others. Once it was done, Guren shut and locked it, making eye contact with Yuu as he dropped the key into his pocket.
