• I opened the door to my house and was greeted by a new swarm of spiders that weren't there before. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Daisuke said. "What, is your fear of spiders back?" I asked, picking a huge wolf/tarantula spider. "No, it's just, there are so many." he said. I shrugged, it's not like they took over the room." I said. "No, but they took over the ceiling." he said, pointing. "Oh, you're right." I said. "Let's go downstairs, oh, but first, do you sense anything?" he asked. I closed my eyes, "Yes. Under the couch, a camera, and under my bed in the basement, a recorder." I said. He nodded, got the camera, destroyed it, and headed downstairs to do the same to the same to the recorder. "What should I do?" I asked the original Arachnid as she was surrounded by five of her kids, the rest left to live on their own. "About Tanaka or about Daisuke?" I read her mind. "Both." I sighed, sitting down against the wall. "Well, when someone of my species meets a man we love, we immediatly....make children." she said. I looked up at her "Okay, enough love advice, what do you think about Tanaka?" I asked mentally. "He's untrustworthy, after what you've told me via telepathy, I say kill him." she said, baring her fangs. "I wish it was just that easy." I said. "What if it is?" she asked, indicating to all of the poisonouse spiders. "Maybe just a little too easy." I said, but laughed. "What are you laughing about?" Daisuke asked showing up. "Nothing." I said. "Liar. I thought we established the fact, I know when you lie." he said. "I was talking to her." I said, pointing to the archnid. "Telepathy?" he asked. I smiled "Exactly." I said. "Did she say anything about me?" he asked. I blushed to my roots "N-NO!" I said and headed downstairs. He followed me "OH HELL!" he said, retreating upstairs. "What is it?" I asked. He blushed to his roots. "I don't even have the potion down here!" I said, refering to the last time. "It's not that!" he said, looking away. "Than what?" I asked. "M-Maybe I should go down first." he said. "Why?" I asked. ".....You're shirt shows a lot, huh." he murmured. I blushed, turning away "Pervert!" I said. "I'm not a pervert!" he retorted. "Tch, just go down! I'll follow." I said. He nodded and went down ahead of me. Once down he sat on my bed and whatched me scan the room. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Somethings in here." I said. "What?" he asked. "Don't worry, it's just a spider, but not one that came from this house." I mumbled, looking around. When I opened an cabinet a spider that was the size of a cat with a razer sharp fangs jumped out and onto the desk. "What is that?" he asked. "It's a vampire spider." I said flatly. It had eight beady bright green jade eyes. It looked repeatedly from Daisuke, to me, to Daisuke, and back again. "How do you know that?" he asked, now standing up from the bed. "It's fangs." I potinted out. "Oh." he said. Suddenly, it ran toward Daisuke. "What the-!?" Daisuke was about to say. I ran, using my powers to be faster than the spider, got in front of him, and felt the spider's fangs sink into my skin. It jumped back. I sank to the floor, feeling the poison spread throughout my body. "Miyuki!" Daisuke said, catching me. "I'm fine." I said, standing back up on my own. I looked at the spider, it wasn't evil, just very afraid. Using telelpathy, I tried to calm it down. It looked calmer and began to seem guilty for what it had done. Crawling over, it shyly, bit in the same place on my shoulder it bit before, but this time, it sucked the poison out of me. "Thank you." I told it. It bobbed it's head into a nod. Daisuke looked over my shoulder "Are you okay?" he asked. I nodded "I'm alright." than I looked at the spider "Why are you here?" I asked it. It looked at me, I read its mind "A man named, Tanaka." it said. I sat back on my heels. "How does he know we know?" I asked. "He heard you." it said. "How?" I asked again. "The operation to replace your eye, he put a device in your brain, and he knows all your thoughts." it said. My heart sank "If he knows my thoughts, he knows we're here!" I said. "No. There is a force in your mind blocking all of his eavesdropping relating to this house. If it's related in even the slightest way, he can't see it." it said. "But he knows I come here!" I said. It shook its head "No, he still thinks you're at the school. Miyuki, that's your name, right?" it asked. I nodded my head "Miyuki, you need to remove that device, there's a forcefeild aound this house, he cannot sense your thoughts here, you need to undergo another operation to get it out!" it said. I smirked "I know the perfect person." I said aloud. "Who are you-oh, right, the spider." Daisuke said. I picked my phone and dialed a number. He picked up "Miyuki! How are you?" he asked. "Bad. I need you to do an operation on me." I said. I saw the surprise in Daisuke's eyes. "Why?" the guy I called asked. "I need you to remove a device Tanaka put in my head." I told him. "I always knew Tanaka was bad. Okay, are you in your parents house?" he asked. "Yes." I said. "Good, I'll be over soon." he said. "Okay, see you soon." I said, and hung up. "Who was that? Why do you have to undergo an operation? What did Tanaka do to your head? And what device?" he asked. I sighed, turned to Daisuke and told him everything the spider told me and who the man I called was. His eyes turned wide "I wonder how many differant mages there are." he said. I shrugged "A lot actually." I said. He whistled "A medical mage." he said wistfully. "And he's the only one who can get this device out of my head." I said. "Won't that put some pressure on him!" Daisuke joked trying to lighten the mood. After a silence "Hey, Daisuke." I said. "What?" he asked. "In my first operation, pain medication wasn't invented yet, so I could feel everything." I said. "Are you scared?" he asked. "A little." I admitted, giving him a weak smile. He sat down next to me where I sat on the bed, and hugged me. I looked up at him, he looked back down and blushed. I smiled, and hugged him back. At least it kept the painful memory away.
