The rain had begun again. But this time it was only a light sprinkle and no one seemed to mind it one bit.

"Loosen up, man." Clover was smiling widely. The woman came up behind her and started to massage her shoulders. "Woa! You're really tight, aren't you?"

Victoria squirmed away. "Um, it's nothing. Knots. Gotten used to them." This whole peace and love thing was getting a bit too touchy for her taste. She grinned and made her way to where Carson was sitting.

"Hey." Carson wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure."

But before she could utter another word, a "buzz" came over her. It wasn't an immortal "buzz." An Otaku was nearby. She yanked Carson's arm and lead him through the crowd. When she glanced back over her shoulder, she caught a glimpse of Celly. *Shimatte.* Her eyes also took in several others who were in the Otaku's company... Bishounen...

"Hey, what's the rush?"

"I have to find Susanne. Fast!"

Carson shook his head. He gestured around them. "That's gonna be pretty hard to do."

Victoria concentrated and honed in on Susanne's life force. *Got it* Hotohori no Otaku was somewhere backstage.

"I really don't get what you're so worked up about --" Carson turned to his companion to find her gone. "Where'd she go?"

"Hey chica!"

Susanne was on the wings waiting for the Who's performance to conclude. The girl nearly jumped a mile. Her hands charged a ki blast and took out one of the speakers. Pete and Roger looked at each other and shrugged as the crowd went into a frenzy, wanting more. Pete smashed his guitar into another speaker and the crowd roared louder.

"Kuso! Don't do that!" Suanne screamed.

"Gomen, gomen. But we don't have much time. I saw Celly. Thank Suzaku she didn't see me! But we've got some stow aways."

"What do you mean?"

"It looks like some unwanted guests arrived with the Otaku. You've got to do something fast, or else I will!"

Susanne saw the lightning flash in Nyx's eyes. "Ok." She got out her lap top from HammerSpace. She typed in a few strokes and a map appeared on the scene showing red dots for Otaku and blue for the Bishounen. "We can fix that." Susanne pressed the "enter" button and the blue dots vanished from the screen.
