A pack of cards.

Once they crossed the cards flew into Diamonds hands, "We are almost there." She said.

"Aqua suggested that you may use the same rooms you had before. If you do not like them please tell her and she will make a new room ready for you." He said as he turned the corner.

Clubs swam behind him, "the old room is fine for me." She smiled.

"Since no one lives here this will be my room." She nodded as she scanned the room, perfect room for the people she may put under her spell.

As soon as they got there Hearts jumped out of his arms and adjusted her hair using the window of a nearby house."is speed your power?" She asked as she continued to fiddle with her hair.

Shuki chuckles "no I can create designs with my fingers.." He draws a great in the air and hands it to her "here you can keep it.."

Sei looks around "old room.."

Dia nods and looks at her "do you think she will like me?"

Spade chuckles and blinks as his spade tattoo glows "Touhou is calling us.."

"Thanks." She said as she placed it in her pocket.

"Good, that sorts one thing out. Since it is getting late, tomorrow I will start with your training." He said he lead them to the hallway where their room were, "You already know how to swim however I will be training you to swim with out your breathing devices and how to deal with the stronger currents." He said as he opened the door to his room.

"She is really friendly. She tells people to be on a first name bases unless it is of something of great importance, then you must call her Duchess." Diamonds explained.

"Lead the way." Spades said as she followed him.

Spade nods and leads her to Touhou "yes Touhou?"

Touhou smiles "I would like to lay down some rules.. Please don't get to many puppets.. If I hear you have more than two or three there will be punishment. But other than that please enjoy yourself.."

Sei nods and walks into his room.

Shuki smiles "so what do we do?"

Dia nods "ok.."

Spades sighed, where was the fun of that, she had to pick carefully who would become her personal slaves.

"Get our next task. A more interesting job then telling you guys to accept your roles would be fun." Hearts said as she walked up the palace entrance.

Clubs walked into the room, she giggled as she remembered the night her sisters spent here. She walked towards the window and looked outside into the sea.

"almost there." Diamonds said.

Spade nods and bows "ok I'll let go of my control over the people I have I've found them to be all the same.." He chuckles and cuts the strings off of five fingers. He bows to Touhou "goodbye my queen.." He walks out of the throne room.

Dia nods and keeps walking.

Sei looks around, he never really came in here last time. "I don't hate it.." He walks to the bed and lays down. He closes his eyes.

Spades let out a breath of air causing her bangs to fly up when they left the room, "Well that suck." She said as she crossed her arm and leaning against the wall, "a max of three in this world. I guess now I can't wait till I get back." She laughed.

Damon sat on his desk and wrote a message to queen Aqua telling her that the other one will be staying. He opened the door and gave to note to Jyo and Gyo and also gave the two fish a set of instructions to get food for their guests. The two fish nodded and hurried away.

"coming?" Hearts asked.

They soon reached the duchesses home, "Well, I see the pretty lady brought a friend, Boris is informing the duchess as we speak and an extra room is being provided." Leo said as he appeared between them.

Gyo placed a plate on the side of Sei's door and Jyo did the same for Clubs. They knocked on the door and swam off leaving a plate of Seaweed and other vegetables. Aqua had used her magice to keep them dry.

Spade looks at her "she did it for a reason.. Do you not like Touhou now? She's just looking out for our safety I think it's because of that soul guy.. She must be worried he won't stay under control.. Or something like that.." He shrugs his shoulders and walks off.

Dia blinks and looks at Leo "your a kitty.." He chuckles and smiles "she is pretty! See diamonds he thinks your pretty.." He wanted to help diamonds to like her appearance.

Shuki blinks and nods "so where is she?"

Sei opens his door and grabs the food "what is it?" He shrugs his shoulders and goes back inside.."

"I don't hate her, I will just miss having a bunch of them like slaves obeying my every command." Spades explained.

"I am half of the cheshire cat. The other half is my twin." Leo said introducing himself.

"Some where inside. Moat likely a place where she could rest." Hearts said.

Clubs opened her door, "Dinner." she smiles as she grabs it and closes the door behind her.

Spade smiles and chuckles "even if you don't have a bunch I'm sure you'll find a way to make it work.. I do I just switch out people the same people listening to you I believe that's boring.."

Dia bows "my name is Dia.."

Shuki looks around "how do we find her this place is huge!"

"But they remember, that's the problem. They remember how you met them at the bar flirted at bit, locked eyes, under your spell. All so manicures to scrubbing the toilet. They it becomes latest gossip." She sighed.

"so what made you boys change your minds?" Leo asked as he lead them in.

"No idea. Maybe she will get us when needed." Hearts said as she found an armchair and sat down.

Shuki chuckles "who else lives here?"

Spade looks at her "you can't wipe their memory like me?"

Dia smiles "Touhou and hearts.."

"Her knights in shinning amour, that all i've seen a few servants and probably some other people too. Hearts said.

"We no, we are two completely different people with different powers, the only thing we share is a name and the fact that we can control people. Speaking of which, just our of curiosity have you ever tried to turn your Queen into one of them?"

"Ah, that's the one that went to the Queen of hearts. And the other is your old Queen. And thank you. you just reminded me that i need to tell the duchess something." Elo had forgotten about his talk with Queen Touhou and about he petty fights between the Blue Queen and Queen of Hearts.

Clubs looked down at her empty plate, she wasn't sure what to do with it. she walked out of her room and knocked on Damon's door, "um, hi. What do I do with this? And thank you the food was really nice." she looked up at him.

"i'll take it back." damons said as she took the empty plate from the girls hands. He walked past Sei's door, "you done eating. If so I'll be taking the plate back." He said through the door.

Spade looks at her "I will not turn Touhou into a puppet.. She took us in that would be a horrible way to repay.. Why?"

The plate slide under the door. A small robot opens the door and peeks out at him "plate.." The robot closes the door. Sei chuckles and smiles as he plays with the robot.

Arrow chuckles "I have no shining amour but I guess my jacket can count as something like that.."

Shuki blinks and looks at him "who's that?"

Dia bows and looks around wondering what to do.

"just a thought that came into my head that's all. Don't even ask me how, it just popped up." Spades shrugged.

Damon leans over to pick up the plate, "i'll give you a tour Miss Card." He said as he walked down the hallway. clubs quickly caught up with him.

"Does my Queen have a new task, the old one has been complete, each one of them have gone to their new role." Hearts asked with smile and a nod to greet Arrow, "that is one of the knights, he is not a card like us or Damon."

"didn't even tell us what to do or take us to her. guess we have to wait." diamonds sighed.

Sei sends his small robot to follow them.

Arrow chuckles "names arrow.. And no she hasn't woke up since you left.."

Shuki looks at her "what's wrong with the queen?"

Dia looks at her and sits down.

Spade shrugs "fine.."

Damon looks back at the robot, "That thing better not rust here, nor Aqua would not be amused." He turned to Clubs, "So Miss Card what do you think of this place?" He asked.

"It's nice, I'm surprised that I don't mind all of this water and being wet most of the time." She smiled as she skipped on her tipy toes.



"I see." Hearts said as she leaned back in her seat.

"this is dull." diamonds sighed.

"Anyway, so where is this room?" Spades asked.

The robot growled at him and kept following them.

Shuki sighs and sits down.

Arrow smirks "I heard her boyfriend found a cure for her.."

Spade looks at her "this way.." He leads her to the room again.

Dia looks at her "it's not to bad.."

"It even growls, impressive." he smirked, "Thats good, not many people liked being it the water for too long."

"I'm guessing that the king. so is the cure working or no?" Hearts asked.

Spades followed him, she eyed each of the staff seeing if there was any potential for her three to put under her spell.

"We are not hunting, nor spying. We are not on a secret mission, so it is a bit dull. For me anyway, I'm not used to this quietness."

Arrow chuckles "no he's not king yet.. I believe it's working but not sure.."

Spade looks at her. "if you want me to take you to town we can go.."

Dia smiles and pulls her down "then enjoy it.." He chuckles.

Spades paused for a moment. Town meant people and people meant potential victims, "okay." She said, almost jumping with joy and the idea of her first slave.

"As long as it is all working, that's fine." Hearts said, "Does she have a new job, or no?"

"I don't think I can, a life like this is not really for me I guess." Diamonds laughed.

"so how long have you been here for 03?" Clubs asked as she turned the corner.

"Just over two years." Damon replied, "So a while I guess."

The robot keeps following them. It looked around taking pictures.

Dia smiles "well it's nice sometimes to just smell the roses.." He chuckles and looks at her.

Arrow shakes his head "nope.."

Shuki smiles "hearts let's make something nice for the queen when she wakes up!" He grabs her head "let's go!" He pulls her around looking for the kitchen.

Spade chuckles "I'm glad your happy.."

"you know I don't think queen Aqua would approve of you taking pictures like that. She may see it a sign of future treason, giving someone else the layout of this place for an attack." Damon said as he kicked it lightly down the hall, "That one is a warning, next time I will boot it to the wall if I see it out without Aquas permission."

"They do smell nice." Diamonds agreed.

Like before Hearts almost tripped over her own feet again ash she was dragged to the kitchen.

"I have my motives." Spades smirked.

Sei appears and grabs his robot. He rolls his eyes "whatever..kill joy.." He disappears with the robot. He lays down once he was in the room. He looks at the pictures the robot took. It was over the water around them. On the robot level it looked so different. He smiles lightly "oh yeah this is the lay out everyone will want these. He's a dope I wouldn't want the stupid lay out.." He fixs the small dent left by the kick. He chuckles "would take more then a kick to the wall to hurt you.."

Spade chuckles "I know you want puppets.."

Shuki chuckles and stops once he find the kitchen. "let make her some food then do a show! What's your power hearts?"

Dia nods "it's nice to just do nothing sometimes.." He smiles warmly. He looks at her and chuckles lightly.

By the time they went back to the hallway the robot was gone, "You'll get a better tour of this place later." He said as he walked Clubs back to her room.

"Hearts like to call them puppets, but I prefer personal slaves." Spades smiled.

"I create complete darkness." Hearts replied.
