Anime Closet Adventure Three!

(Majin Tantei Nougami World)

"Okay, Lucifer. This is going to be somewhat tricky."
Lucifer frowned. "That's an understatement, ma'am."
They stood near the top of a very tall building, overlooking the city. PheonixFox sang, bored. "Oh where, oh where, has that little shape-shifting clone with a bad memory and murderous intent gone? Oh where, oh where could he be? With his body maleable and his eyes so alone, oh where, oh where could he be~?"
"That's a few extra syllables--"
"Yes! I know! It's meant to be that way."
"If you say so, ma'am."
"So do you sense anything?"
"Not yet."
PheonixFox sighed. "Now if only L had accepted the invatation to help us find him. Tch. Skeptical about how a person can transform at will. He would have been helpful in helping us look."
"Ma'am?"
"Oh! Yes?"
"I feel something."
She perked up. "Do you now?"
"Gas. -_-"
"O_O"
She inched away, and took another look down at the city. Suddenly she spotted a person in the crowd with a shoulder bag, small trinkets poking out of it. "Oh! Ai. That's useful."
"Hm?" Lucifer looked down and spotted her. "Should I ghost her?"
She paused, and looked up. "Ghost?"
"Follow her."
"Oh. Yes, please do."
He bowed, and was gone.
PheonixFox smiled, glad he was on her side. But then she quickly frowned.
"Now, how am I gonna get down...he's the one who brought me up here... -_-;"

"Alright, what's gotten into you?"
Hiei jumped, face covered in surprise, and he turned around to see Kurama looking at him. "W-what do you mean?"
"We all noticed how you and Yuuya-san looked at PheonixFox."
"W-well..."
"Don't even make us THINK of that," Higuchi interupted, copulsively shivering. "It's too..too..."
"There's no word for it.... =_=" Hiei said, flopping back onto his bed. "Gah! And this bed is too WHITE! And why am I sharing a room with you all!?"
"Didn't you read the title?" L explained. "These are the closet adventures. Thus, we are living in a closet. Or at least through it."
They stared at him in confoundment.
Higuchi asked slowly, "You don't believe in shape-shifting clones, but you think..? o_e?"
"Well. It was all I could think of."
"Mm-hmm..."
"What are we supposed to DO here, though?" Hiei grumbled.
Kurama shrugged and smiled. "Anything we want. Didn't you hear her?"
"But we don't even know where anything is. And I'm NOT wandering around again after last time."
"But WHAT happened LAST time?"
"Nothing! Stay off it!"

"Letter."
Edward looked up grumpily at Mustang. "What?"
"A letter arrived for you two. you and Alphonse."
The boy was immediatly suspicious. "You didn't read it, did you?"
"Of course not. that would be rude. I'll just steal a peek later."
Growling obsceneties Ed swiped the letter out of Roy's hand and stormed out of the room, Alphonse following fretfully.
He ripped open the letter as they walked and read it out loud to Al. " 'Dear Edward and Alphonse Elric! You're invited to my estate! Isn't that wonderful? A bunch of others have already arrived, and you're a part of the next batch! Our purpose is...well, we don't have one, but we thought there'd be more finesse in a letter this time...' " Ed paused. "Who wrote this? they sound so...immature!!"
"Now, brother, let's not judge...do you think we should try?"
Edward frowned. "No way. It even says there's no purpose to it."
"So then what's the harm?"
Ed was still skimming down the rest of the letter. "Hey, look at this. 'We're looking forward to you joining our growing adventure family'? What the heck? Who wrote this, a little kid?"
"Who knows the word 'finesse'?"
Ed grimaced. "Ha ha. Seriously."
"Big brother..."
Edward closed his eyes and sighed. "Fine. We'll visit. But the whole family line has given me the willies."

Elsewhere, someone else got a very similar letter.
Hao Asakura.
He frowned, and tossed it aside. "How piteous."
The fire demon growled overheard in response. It was more of a neutral sound than anything.
Considering, Hao picked up the piece of paper again. "Maybe I SHOULD go. and put this annoying child out of their misery...and everyone elses..." the more he thought about it, The more he was sure he was going to go.
It's just weird how it works that way sometimes.
