Ha! A-ha-ha-ha-ha! My last two chapters were on Writers Block.
I'm sorry. D:
I can't believe I did that. X'D
Here's the next chapter!!

"Lucifer! Oh Lucifer? Where'd you go?" PheonixFox called when she, Nekozawa, and Kayashima all entered the very decorated house.
Nekozawa was on cloud nine by her calls. "Lucifer? Satan himself? Oh, did you bring me to meet Satan himself?"
PheonixFox shook her head and grinned. "Nope! He's my butler!"
"Satan is your butler?" he asked, apalled.
"No, for you see, Lucifer is a cyborg demon butler ninja!"
"Demon?" both boys echoed.
"Demon!" she affirmed. "Low maintenance, good company, and multi-purpose!"
"And just where do I get one of these?" Nekozawa asked enthusiastically.
"Oh, I wouldn't know. Lucifer was my butler to begin with."
They both looked at her, puzzled.
She shoves them forward, as they'd started to slow down, and they both nearly stumble. "Let's go-go-go! We don't want to keep everyone waiting~!" She sang.

"Fai."
"Mm?"
Fai, curious, turned around, and found a man in black robes hemmed in red bowing to him at the waist. "I am here on behalf of my mistress, PheonixFox. I would like to request for you to accompany me back to the estate."
Fai cocked his head. "Mm? Estate? Where?"
"Who knows?" Lucifer said, seriously.
Fai's eyebrows raised.
"Will you be accompanying me, or won't you?"
"I certainly don't see why not."
"Thank you kindly." Lucifer bowed once more and headed away, Fai following cheerfully.

"Whoa!!"
One moment, Edward had been opening a door. The next, he was gone. His voice, however, certainly wasn't.
Surprised and instantly worried, Alphonse rushed in, and disappeared just as quickly, shouting, "Big Brother!"
"What is this?" Edward's voice demanded. "I can't move! Where am I?"
"Big Brother? Where are you?"
"Over here! Can you move? Follow my voice!"
"I'm stuck, too...T_T"
"You can't be serious... o_o;"
"What's going on?"
Everyone turned and found PheonixFox running towards them from down the hall. Behind her tailed two more figures.
Kurama explained, "Edward ran into the room and disappeared, and then his brother went in to help him. What is this room, anyhow?"
"Oh? Well, I don't know."
"You DON'T KNOW??" demanded Edward from inside the room. "Just get us out of here!!"
"Please..!" added Al.
"Well, let's see. I think someone should go get Riku for us. Hiei would be useful, too. Someone go get them for me?
Kurama nodded dutifully and headed down the hallway, X following close behind.
Minutes later they returned, and not only with Riku and Hiei but L and Higuchi as well. "What is it?" asked L.
"Ed and Al made a booboo," chirped PheonixFox.
"Don't put it that way!" Edward shouted from insdie the room, and the newly arriving four looked at the doorway in surprise.
"Why did you ask for Riku and Hiei though?" Kurama asked PheonixFox.
"Oh! It's darkness! ^^"
"What?"
"Darkness! Black, smothering darkness! Ed and Al are in a room full of darkness! Only select few can control that element, like Riku and Hiei with his hellfire magic stuff."
Hiei glared at her.
"We don't want to leave Ed and Al in there all eternity, do we?" she asked.
"A-a-all eternit-t-ty?" stuttered Al's disembodied voice.
Riku shook his head. "I can't trust my powers that much. I'd probably just make it stronger and engulf them."
"Now THAT doesn't sound good at all!" hollered Edward.
"Silence!" PheonixFox called, and kicked the door closed before turning back to Riku. "You won't know if you don't try, you do realize, Riku."
Someone tapped PheonixFox's shoulder, and she turned around to see it was Kayashima. "Nekozawa went running in there right when you mentioned darkness," he said, gesturing with his thumb towards the door.
She looked from him to the door and back. "Sheesh. o_o;" She opened the door again. "Nekozawa?"
"Not here~!" his voice came out cheerfully.
PheonixFox sighed.
"Ma'am."
Behind her she now found Lucifer, standing beside Fai. She grinned. "Fai! Fai D. Florite! Woo!"
"Who?" Ed and Al chorused from inside the room.
PheonixFox turned back to Riku and Hiei quickly. "Please, one or both of you, can't you help them?"
Hiei glared at her. "You seem awfully sure we even CAN."
"What seems to be the trouble?" Fai asked politely.
"Ed and Al and now Nekozawa are stuck in the darkness room," said PheonixFox with cheerful demeanor, but she seemed worried. She looked at Lucifer. "Can YOU go get them?"
Lucifer shook his head. "This is darkness, not evil. I can do nothing."
HiguchiGirl frowned and bit her thumb. Now what?
