Nina ran in and opened a cabinet under the sink,hiding in it.

Nostra flew into the kitchen and looked around. His butterflies were flying everywhere. "Princess Nina, are you here?" he asked softly as he landed and waited for Eric.

Eric walked in,looking around.
Nina opened up the cabinet and smiled.
"Hi!"She said,looking up at them,"What happened?"
Eric walked over to her,picking her up,hugging her tightly.

Nostra let out a sigh of relief and settled on a counter. "The question is, are you alright?" he asked worriedly.

"Fine.I'm just alittle jittery.Not quite use to so much blood."Nina smiled,"Youre squishing me."
Eric smiled and set her down.
"Sorry.Got worried."He said,sitting on the floor.

Nostra smiled. "I'm glad you are ok." He said honestly. "I was worried." He watched as some butterflies landed in Nina's hair. A butterfly told him of what happened in the room. "Poor Susan..." he said saddly and relaied what happened to Nina and Eric. "So...what are we going to do now?"

"Dunno.What happened to the Demins?"Eric asked.
Nina smiled and sat on a stool,picking up one of the butterflies in her hair.

Nostra listened to the butterflies. "Seems they were teleported out of the dungeons after the cell doors were opened. They even took Stess back with them." he sighed. "As for the ones that disguised themselves as Westra and Deas, they dissappered compleatly it seems."

"This will be fun."Eric sighed,holding his head.
Nina blinked and looked at the two.
"Demins?"She asked.

Nostra thought a moment then smiled. "Opal." he called softly. A small puffball bounced into the kitchen. She was a silvery white and reflected the colors of the rainbow in her fur. "This is a puffball." He explained. "Demins are corupted puffballs. Mainly they are black with purple eyes." he said sadly as Opal jumped onto his lap.

"Awwww,its so cute!"Nina smiled.
Eric smiled slightly and stared at the wall across from him.

Nostra smiled at Nina. "This one's name is Opal. She is a wind spirit but her wings were damaged when she was born. She is one of my friends and she is the calmest out of the puffballs." He said as Opal puffed up and sent bubbles every where. "And she likes bubbles." He looked at Eric. "With all that has happened..." he was hesitant, "you still need to choose a new head of council. Susan.... would have been the best choise. Now...." He growled a little as a few tears fall. "Why the hell did Westra betray us?" he asked causing Opal to jump down near Nina.

"He's upset." Opal said bouncing. "I don't think I've ever seen him mad before."

"I dont know."Eric sighed.
Nina looked at Opal and nodded.
"So I see."She whispered.
Eric stood and looked at them,"I'll be right back.I'm going for a walk."
He lowered his head and walked off.

Nostra brought his knees to his chest and rested his forhead on his knees. He tried not to cry but it wasn't working too well.

Opal stopped bouncing and looked at Nina. "Why do bad things happen?" she asked puffing up a little. "It makes people upset. I don't like it." She began to bounce a little again. "I don't like seeing people upset. What do we do to cheer him up?"

"I dont know why bad things happen.It just does.....Mr.Nostra...stop crying or I'll come over there and poke you alot!"Nina said.

Opal giggled at the threat as Nostra raised his head and wiped his eyes. "What would poking me a lot do?" he asked curious. He rested his chin on his knees. "Sorry...I'm just worried about Susan...that wound they gave her..." he closed his eyes shaking his head.

Opal looked at Nina and smiled. "Tickling him is fun." she whispered to Nina.

"I'm sure she will be fine,dont worry."Nina said,walking over to him.
She poked him in the side and smiled.

Nostra eeped as he was poked. "Why did you do that?" He asked fake glaring at her. His glare turned into a small smile. Opal giggled a little.

"Cuz I hate it when people are sad."Nina smiled.
She poked him again.

Nostra poked Nina back in the side. "I don't mean to be sad." He said smiling. "I just don't know what to do right now."

Mokuba was keeping guard outside the kitchen just incase any of the traitors actualy made it out of Seto and Yusuke's attacks alive. He was chuckling at the conversation.

"No duh.Noone will know what to do or what happens next.Dont poke me."Nina smiled,poking him back.

Nostra chuckled. "You poked me first." he said childishly and poked Nina back again.

"No pokie!"Nina said,poking him twice.

Nostra laughed a little. "ok." He said smiling as he tickled Nina.

Nina jumped,giggling.She nearly fell over,tickling Nostra in return.

Nostra started to laugh as he was tickled. Opal was giggling as she watched the two tickle eachother.

Mokuba peeked into the room and laughed. He shook his head and went back to keeping watch.

Nina grinned and poked Nostra's forehead.
"Betchya cant catch me!"She laughed,jumping down and running toward a cabinet.

Nostra blinked when he was poked in the forehead. "Hey!" He laughed floating off the cabniet and after Nina. "Get back here." he said laughing the whole time.

Nina grinned and slid under a table.
"NOPE!"She laughed.

Nostra flew over the table to the other side. "Are you going to stay under there?" He laughed as he put his feet on the floor.

"Maybe."Nina smiled.
She looked around for a way to escape,grining at a window.

Nostra smiled as he sent some butterflies under the table after Nina to tickle her. "Well I hope you are inventive in a way out." He laughed.

Nina squeeled and burst into giggles.She stood and ran,heading for the window.

Nostra laughed as the butterflies followed Nina over to the window. He didn't fly fast but he did fly after her. The laughter seemed to cheer him up greatly.

Nina jumped onto the counter and out the window.She landed on the ledge and ran,turning the corner.Nina sat down,peeking around the corner.

Nostra followed out the window just in time for Mokuba to see him fly off in Nina's direction. "I really dont' want to know..." the guard said blinking. He sighed and then laughed. "At least he's in a better mood."

Nostra looked around for Nina stopping a little ways from her.

Nina crawled off,jumping into another window.She opened the door,running out.
"Hey."Nina smiled,running passed Mokuba and back into the kitchen,hiding in a cabinet.

Mokuba blinked and laughed shaking his head. "Oh well. This is an intersting game of hide and seek." He said.

Nostra blinked as he looked around unable to find Nina. "Hmmmm." He flew back into the kitchen to look around there.

Nina grinned and started setting random cans infront of her,trying to create a cover.

Nostra looked in some of the upper cabniets then started looking in the lower ones.
