Gone. The Bishounen... inai?

Shimatta! As quickly as they appeared in this strange new land, the beloved Bishounen disappeared from it. Damn! This would screw up everything! She needed those Bishounen... She needed to make sure...

... but maybe it was better this way. At least now she didn't have to keep playing that damnable act. It was fun at first (who wouldn't have fun chasing around Bishounen?), but a person can be hentai for only so long. At least, that's what she thought. Seth was an entirely different matter altogether. She quickly scanned the crowd, intent on locating the source of the Bishounen's disappearance. She found nothing out of the ordinary but she soon discovered that the people milling around in this field would probably agree with Seth's logic. Actually, they were avidly practicing Seth's logic.

Great, lots of hentai people... no Bishounen.

"Doko? Doshite?" She silently voiced, sending her thoughts to the one person she trusted completely since she became otaku. "Oh Kami-sama," she whispered as realization hit her. She couldn't feel P-kun anywhere. He no longer occupied that space in her mind. She was alone.

Great, lots of hentai people... No Bishounen, *and* no Guardians. The prospect was quite nerving. It wasn't a coincidence. It couldn't be. Whatever brought them there had some type of power card up their sleeves; something that could specify who remained and who didn't. And it obviously had something against pretty males... hmmmm... could it be a- a gay Otaku? As far as Remy knew, there were no gay otaku. Gay guardian, yes but not a gay Otaku.

So who was this person? Why were they sent here? And what did the mysterious "it" have against Guardians and Bishounen?

*Koko wa* a gruff voice echoed.

Recognizing the voice, Remy looked around frantically, trying to deny the thought forming in her mind. He had to be there, somewhere. The Bishounen were somehow brought back. That had to be it. It wasn't possible that--

*Koko wa* that voice repeated more violently and was proceeded by a quiet grunt and a knowing laugh.

Sano-sama?
Aoshi-sama?
Mikagami-sama?

*Who the hell is Seth*

*oh God...*

*As I suspected. An echi act huh? Brilliant*

*No*

*grunt*

*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!*

***** * *****

P-kun looked over The Bishounen's shoulder as five new blue dots appeared on the screen. Omi had accessed the SERA system on his laptop and had successfully revived the tracking program. As predicted, not one red dot marred the screen and the five blue dots that had originally been gone had now reappeared... without the Otaku.

"Omi" the talkie fizzed to life, "Omi, it's Ken. We've got a problem."

"What now?" P-kun snatched the talkie and pressed the speak button, "What the hell is going on?"

"Sanosuke-san, Aoshi-san, and Mikagami-san... they've returned with Kegetsuya-san and Messiah-san. But-"

"But..." P-kun prompted.

"They look stoned."

"Nani?"

"They're here, but they aren't. They're still breathing... but that's about it."

P-kun mind whirled. Masaka, she couldn't have... "You better bring them in, Ken-san. Maybe Dion can tell us what this is all about. He seems to think he knows everything."
