It's pretty late at night and Mono comes in. He left about 30 minutes ago. He didn't want us to follow him but, of course, we did. We made sure we weren't seen. He walked to a bar. "Oi, can I get a drink over here?" It was mostly empty inside, which was good. "Akihiko! What are you doing here? You know people are looking for you, especially here." whispered the man at the bar. "I know. I just came out to see you and get some drinks." he mumbled with a weathered smile on his face. "You don't drink often." The bartender said pouring him a drink. Mono waved this off by changing the topic. "So, how's the business going?"

"Pretty well actually. Luckily no one found out where I'm from or that I know you. I want to make the best out of the money you gave me. Plus, I don't think you'll want me dead."

"Yeah." Mono said downing his sake. "I'm also pretty sure I got the spot for King. I'll try my best to restore the kingdom."

"Good to hear."

Suddenly, two men burst in. The say there names are Burly and Curly."Hey, Na- oh? What's this?" Mono threw the bartender a look and the bartender grabbed his collar and twisted it. "This one came in while I wasn't looking and downed some of my sake. Take care of him for me, will ya'? Free drinks."

"Ha, the drinks weren't even necessary but, thanks!" The bartender pushed Mono away towards the men. Gaara was about to leave cover but, I stopped him. Mono pulled out a small knife. "Weapons, huh?" The men grabbed bottles and smacked them on the table. Mono smirked and walked towards them. He swiftly smacked Burly on the head with the hilt of his knife and he fell to the ground. Curly charged to Mono and swung the bottle at him. The bottle cut his cheek but, Mono slid the knife across his chest. Curly swung again, this time faster and the bottle cut Mono's hand and he dropped his knife. Mono swept Curly feet from under his and he fell on his head. Luckily, Curly's hair bounced his back to a standing position (anime logic). Curly lost his bottle and attempted to punch Mono but, Mono grabbed his fist and placed his hand under Curly's elbow. He smiled at Curly before he snapped his arm out of place. Mono placed his knife into its holster and walked back to bar grabbing another shot. "A lil' rusty I see." The bartender teases. "Yeah. I am."

"I see why you needed to hire bodyguards."

Mono narrowed his eyes at him.

"Oh, you all came anyway?" Mono frowned. Fu was the only one that didn't come. She stayed at the hotel with Chika. "You're drunk. You would've have made it home with the skill you had anyway if you weren't." Gaara said.

"Oh! Really! Mr. I Like Eyeliner!" Gaara smacked him on the head. "I have dark circles because I don't sleep."

"But, I saw you sleeping on the way here." I noted. At least, he seemed asleep. "I can't sleep. I haven't slept in years and I probably won't in a while."

"Don't you get tired?"

"No." And that was that.

We made it the hotel without being stopped and Mono was getting riled up. "That stupid oaf denied it! Ha! If I had the chance to kill him, I would've."

We walked into the hotel and Chika was crying. "They took her! They took Fu! They-they-their in the at the flower shop."

Gaara run back out of the door. I couldn't stop him so, I ran after him. I told Mono to hide with Chika and lock the door and windows.

When I made it there, the flower shop's windows were shattered. The flower's petals were all over the floor and the pots were broken with dirt spilling everywhere. It was still dark inside and I couldn't see or hear anyone in here. I walked around quietly and came to a door. It's locked. All the other door weren't locked. They HAVE to be in there but, where's Gaara? I looked for any possible ways in and I had to go through the roof. There was already a hole in the roof. And I looked down, I saw that my job was done. The guys who took Fu were unconscious on the ground and Gaara and Fu were kissing in the middle of it. "Aw, my little Gaara grew up! He finally grew some-" Gaara looked up and glared at me. Fu was sitting and blushing. "Let's just go." Gaara's pale skin was really red. We made it back to the house and Mono didn't listen to me. He was standing steps yelling at the people across the street. *sigh* Wow, Mono.

We settled inside and got comfortable. I glanced at Gaara and he was glaring at me from his chair. Fu was under the covers in a ball. Then, Chika tugged on my sleeve. I nodded. Mono was more sober now. "Hey, Mono?"

"Yes, Chika?" he kind of snapped but, Chika ignored it.

"I was thinking and I have a plan for when you become King." she handed him a paper.

"I have my own plans, Chika."

"I know but, this might help a little. This will increase your bonds with the villagers and they will like you again."

"Does it look like I care if they like me? I'm just focusing on restoring our village."

"I know but, I wouldn't want you to get hurt or have people hate you. You must be a great King and doubt you'll be a bad one."

"Look. I don't care about your plans. I have my own things to worry about, okay?"

"Can you just look-"

"Can you just leave me alone? Go home or something. Your sister lives like, across from us. Why'd you come with us anyway? Traitor." Mono balled up the plan that Chika gave him. Chika's eyes went wide. "Hey, that's not cool man." I say punching him in the shoulder. "I thought you said he'll like it."

"Look, Chika, I'm sor-"

"See you later, Mono." she said running out. "Chika, wait!"

"Leave her. She's has nowhere to go except for his sister's place."

"Your cold Mono. You made your own problems. Don't take it out on people." I walked outside and Chika went inside a house. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day.
