Chapter Five: Old Houses Mean Trouble!

"We've been riding for hours! I'm cold and my butt's soar!" Oomlaut wines while sitting on top of a large chestnut colored stallion.

Bii looks over from a dark black stallion, "Will you stop complaining! We just have a few more miles to go to get to an inn."

"Bii face it. You said that four hours ago. We are not getting to an inn anytime soon. Oh, and Sachie fell asleep again," Dmitrii sighs as he changes his position on his dark blue horse once again. He still had that feeling he was being watched...

Poor Sachie had little sleep over the two weeks. He knew something was watching them and felt very threatened. He had finally given into fatigue while riding the light green-blue war horse. He made a contented sigh while sleeping and holding the egg.

*Poor boy. He only had an hour of sleep,* Sunil looks up, *Why look at that a house!*

"So it is!" Bii looks wide eyed and smiles, "LET'S GO!" she smacks the horse on the side and flies off. Oomlaut quickly follows, leaving Dmitrii, Sunil and the sleeping Sachie in the dust.

"Women," Dmitrii sighs as he attempts to wake up Sachie.

The where all standing outside the house. It seemed in perfect condition. It was a classic Victorian style house, the outside was painted a black faded color. The house was surrounded by a lush green garden...but why did the house seem so creepy? Bumblebii was the first to speak, "Sunil, you won't fit though the door so you can stay in the back and watch the horses. Let's go guys." she dismounts and heads for the door.

"Guys, I have a really bad feeling about this..." 'Mitrii grates his teeth.

"Don't be so uptight!" Oomlaut bounces off her horse and skips to the door.

"I freaked out already," Sachie looks at Dmitrii.

Meanwhile Sunil had made it to the back of the house. *Oh my GODS! A lake!* a splash was heard soon after words and a wave of water was seen in the air.

"Bye bye lake," 'Mitrii looks widen eyed before dismounting. This was going to be an interesting night.

The house on the inside was lavishly decorated with all the riches off the wealthy. The only thing was it was a bit dusty. The four of them made there way to the upstairs hoping to find the bedrooms. Lo and Behold! Four bedrooms where ready and waiting. They weren't in as good condition as the other rooms of the house. One was missing the door, and was striped of everything but a mattress. Another, had its door jammed. The last two were in almost perfect condition, with girly accessories all in tact. "I get the pink room!" Oomlaut yells before running off into the bedroom and slamming the door behind her.

"I get the silver one!" Bii runs in and slams the door behind her.

Sachie sighs while hugging his egg, "Which room do you want 'Mitrii?"

"I'll take the jammed one since you're so tired. Just be careful with the bed it doesn't look all to stable."

"Yes all right..." with that Sachie heads into the door less striped room and leaves Dmitrii to deal with the door. Sachie looks at the dusty white mattress. He says a few words and the dust instantly disappears. He walks over the bed and takes a seat on it so he can take his shoes off. He doesn't get that far. Suddenly the bed decides to collapses in the center which cause Sachie and the egg to fall in the center of the mattress. This was quite funny to look at, the only thing visible of Sachie was his one foot. He sputtered a curse before changing into a small fox. Big mistake. The loss of weight caused the bed to spring back to its normal position quite fast. This through Sachie and the egg up almost to the point of hitting the ceiling, which was quite high. Thankfully before they could hit the bed again Sachie turned into his normal self and sprouted wings. He lands softly next to the bed, "I guess I'll put the mattress on the floor...You stay her egg." He sets the egg against a wall and the remnants of a night stand. Then he prepares himself for moving the bed.

Meanwhile Dmitrii was having his own problems. He had pushed, pulled, kicked, punched, slammed, and body checked the door, but nothing happened. Now, he was pulling on the doorknob full force, with flapping wings. He didn't count on the doorknob falling off. 'Mitrii lands on the floor with a loud thump as the door slowly swings open. "If I knew that would have happened I would have done this a lot sooner," He dusts himself of and shoves the doorknob in his pocket. He walks into the room to find a nicely decorated four posted bed, the room was only a bit dusty, so Dmitrii gave a wave off his hand to magic away the dust. Then he begins to strip down to his boxers while closing the door. He finishes quickly and folds his wings so he can sleep on his back. He rips off the covers of the bed and lays down to sleep. The sleep he is having isn't a deep one, filled with memories of his past. Everything was quiet and peaceful.

A small portal appears above his head, and something falls out of it on top of his head. He wakes up with a snort to hear two voices.

"What is this thing we're standing on?" a little squeaky voice says.

"I don't know but its breathing. Think it's human?" another voice says.

"I don't think humans have jewels on top of their heads. I wonder what it does?" the first voice moves quickly while speaking.

"What is with this stuffed thing?" the second voice moves away.

This is 'Mitrii's cue to fling open his eyes, sit up and scream. And he did so screaming, "AHHHHHHHHHH!"

The two little things screamed, "AIIIIIEEE!" at the same time and dashed off to Dmitrii's feet. On closer inspection the little things are no bigger then his hand, and are similar to a fox. One is black and the other is white.

"OH MY GOD!" Dmitrii screams as something blue and floppy falls in his lap. He looks down to see a teal winged stuffed animal.

Sachie in boxers followed by Bii and Oomlaut, whom are in there pajamas, burst into the room. "What's wrong 'Mitrii!?" Bumblebii questions before noticing the things on his feet.

He points to the culprit.

"What are those cute little things?" Oomlaut squeals before walking over to take a look.

"We're Oos!" The black one says buffing out his chest.

"Yes, and do you know how we got here?" the white Oo tilts its head to one side.

"First off, what are you doing in my bed? Second what are your names?" Dmitrii stares at the two and then at the stuffed dragon, "Where did this come from?"

"We asked a question first!" the black one states puffing out its chest even farther.

"You'll have to excuse my brother. My name is Aenka. We are the Yen and Yang Oos."

"My name's Kuroi! WORSHIP ME!" the black Oo strikes a threatening pose.

"Quiet!" Aenka smacks her brother in the head.

"Ow!"

"Anyway we Oo are made up from left over computer data. We don't know how we ended up here, where ever here is. All I know is that we fell through a hole."

"And this doll is a Bishen dragon?" Dmitrii asks while squeezing the said doll.

"I'm sorry I don't know what a Bishen dragon is Mister..."

"Dmitrii Czatil. Call me 'Mitrii"

"I see you have this all under control. I'm going back to bed. Frankly I don't like standing here in boxers so good night." Sachie turns around with his egg in his arms and walks back to his bedroom.

"That boy carries that egg around every where..." Bii blinks as she makes her way to her room. Oomlaut does the same and scurries off.

"I guess you two will have to sleep in here..."

"Why won't anyone worship me?" Kuroi pouts as he walks over to a vanity to sleep on a discarded powder puff.

"Maybe it's because you're an morn?" Aenka mutters as she heads toward the discarded blankets.

'Mitrii sighs and drifts back asleep.

Once Sachie had made it to bed he was having restless sleep. He couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching him. After forty minutes or so he fell asleep. In his sleep her turns over to hug his egg and hits something hard in the process. He shakes his hand in pain before grabbing the egg and opening his eyes. At first he chokes, before screaming, and hurtling over the bed. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF MY GOD!?"

The thing he hit stood up about seven feet in height. It was thin lanky and made of metal fitted with sharp claws. Along with red glowing eyes and the hole shebang. "How did I get here?" the dragon says in a mechanical voice.

"WHAT ARE YOU!?"

Dmitrii stumbles through the door in his boxer, "What's wrong?"

The dragon blinks, "I'm the Mecha Dragon, Fumei. Who are you people and what is with your outfits?"

"And I want to know who the tall dark and handsome one is!" a small female voice comes from under the bed.

Sachie hugs his egg tighter, "This is...too weird."

A small Oo covered with stars bounces out from under the bed with a smile, "I'm Lani! What's your name or should I say names?"

"I'm Dmitrii Czatil and the green haired guy is Sacheverell Pikkeru. Why are you in my friend?s bed? Wait...that doesn't sound right..."

Sachie shoots him a look, "Shut up 'Mitrii."

"Okay okay."

"Well, One minute I was baking a cake and the next I was here...." Fumei looks around the room.

"Baking a cake? Are you a female Mecha dragon?" Sachie raises and eyebrow.

"I have no gender."

"That's a new one..."

"I'm going back to bed. The girls will want to wake up early in the morning. Good Night." 'Mitrii spins on his heal and takes his leave.

"So, Mister tall dark and handsome, can we play for a bit?" Lani rubs up against his leg.

Sachie's eyes widen, "I don't know what you mean by 'fun' but I'm going to bed, please find somewhere else to sleep..."

"Can I please sleep with you Sachie? I'm afraid of monsters!" Lani's eyes water.

"Fine. Don't blame me if I roll over on you in the middle of the night. Fumei you can go and find Sunil, he's outside in the back."

"If you say so!" The Mecha dragon walks out to find the said person.

"Now to bed.." he sighs as he walks over with Lani. This mission was not going to be a fun one...

"And men say women are slow!" Oomlaut jumps on to her horse.

*Well they did wake up, twice in the middle of the night. What do you want them to do, they are half asleep due to lack of sleep. Fumei didn't help my rest either...*

"I said I was sorry. I didn't think they had another dragon around!"

Lani followed by Kuroi and Aenka walk up to the group. Aenka explains, "The guys will be out in a minute. They aren't in the best of moods you know."

The boys then emerge from the house and mount their horses in silence. Dmitrii shoves Aenka and Kuroi in his pockets. Sachie allows Lani to jump on his shoulder. 'Mitrii sighs, "Let's get going."

"Whah! Off to civilization!" Oomlaut yells as she forces her horse to a gallop.

"I told you this was going to be a bad place to stay..." 'Mitrii sighs as he follows with the rest.

The next stop for the growing group is a small out of the way town. Here they are bound to find new adventure and maybe a few answers. You'll have to wait until next time to find out friends.
