Disclaimer: I do not own it and I�m sick of saying that I don�t. It�s not mine. How I wish it was, but it�s not.

Author note: In this and a few of the following chapters the recapping is done by my alternate personality AKA: Akito Sohma from Fruits Basket. It just adds a nice little variation to it I think. Oh and for future reference, Lucifer is his boyfriend in an upcoming fic I�m writing so he gets an occasional mention here. That being said; enjoy!

(Chapter 6.)

(Last time in Shadow of Destiny: Eike suffered a fate worse then death at the hands of his supposed ancestor Mary Sue. Homy started to reconsider his intense sexual feelings for Eike and we learnt that Hugo is a bit neurotic when it comes to his mummy. Make that very neurotic. He and Seymour would get along well, in more ways than one. Eike also got a girly comb from Mary Sue, lots of wankst insured between the pair and I killed myself. Again. But now I�m up and about again thanks to a wonderful new medicine called the �T-Virus.� Now if only my fingers would stop falling off whilst I typed...)

(Before we start with this chapter, I�m going to recap the other conversation that happens in the previous chapter with Mary Sue if you pick the option, �Oh nothing.� Why am I doing this, you ask? Simple. (~~Because I�m a masochist~~.) Because when I was recapping that chapter I didn�t get Eike back to the present in time and I got a game over and since I have to play through that chapter again I thought that I may as well write that conversation in. Pity me for having to deal with more Mary Sue. But I guess that this is my choice to write this conversation so don�t have too much mercy.)

(Other possible conversation to have with Mary Sue in previous chapter.)

(Like I said, this is if you chose not to mention to Mary Sue that you think she may be your ancestor.)

Eike: No, nothing. (Creepy sound effect as Eike�s head starts to hurt.) Ow....

(He clutches his forehead and we get a little black out. Why, game designers? Why do we need a black out if we are just going to open back up on the exact same screen again, possibly only 3 seconds later? And why am I asking when I know fully well that my questions will not be answered?)

Eike: Wait a sec � did I just say something really important?

Mary Sue: What? I couldn�t hear you!

(Choose again to not tell her.)

Eike: What am I thinking, of course not. That would be too much of a coincidence....

Mary Sue: What are you mumbling about? I was just joking about coming along with you. (Oh what the fuck ever Mary Sue.) That would change the future wouldn�t it?

Eike: Probably. I�m really sorry but....

Mary Sue: It�s okay. Really. (There is a sad orchestral piece of music playing in the background, like it�s supposed to be a big fucking pity that Mary Sue can�t come to the future. I think the victory music from any of the Final Fantasies would have been more appropriate.) You�ll come over again, won�t you? And tell me other interesting things?

Eike: I will. So � see you again soon. (I just love how impersonal he is. But then again I have a big nasty black and green heart, not unlike a big bruise. A bruise from being hurt so many times, a bruise that wants to hurt everyone else and be horrible about everything because that�s the way a bruise is. No, Akito I wasn�t writing about you. Go back to reading your Lucifer/Akito lemon.)

(Little black out screen and then the one with Hugo entering. Dialogue is the same except for when Mary Sue gives Eike the comb. The only difference in this conversation is that all the stuff about the guy patting her on the head is left out. Thank God.)

(Okay, I�m going to hand recapping over to Akito for now, since he hasn�t had a turn yet and I need to go to the hospital to have my arm sewn back on. Stupid T-Virus. Anyway, I�m sure Akito will be a perfectly capable �recapee� though he�s not quite as mean as I am. Or funny. Or- Yeah okay, Akito I�ll go to the hospital now. No, I�d rather not go to the morgue. All right, I�ll see you when I get back!)

(Thank you NaPap. Well, as the bimbo just said, I�ll be taking over the recapping for now and I shall do my best to provide you with the complete untainted script as is to the best of my abilities. You had better appreciate it too, since I am giving up valuable lemon Yaoi time to do this. Okay, I think we�re up to chapter 6 is that right Birdy? Birdy says that�s right. ... Why are you looking at me so weirdly? Did I say something odd?! Why does everyone think I�m crazy??? I�M NOT CRAZY!!! WHAT�S THE WHOLE WORLD GOT AGAINST ME???!!!?? Okay, Wallbug I�ll calm down now... yes, I�ll take my Prozac...)

(I�m all right now so let�s get down to business! Heh, heh... that reminds me of a Lakito lemon the NaPap wrote once... Ahem, anyway, back to the recap.)

(Two girls that Eike previously saw at the diner in Chapter 5 run up to a an advertisement pole down the road from Mr. Eckart�s �library.� I can tell that it is an advertisement pole because it has flyers and posters all over it. Go me and my powers of deduction! The girls are interested in a movie poster, whilst I am wondering personally why Eike is interested in girls. I mean, he doesn�t necessarily look the part of a straight guy and this is coming from a professional at spotting these characteristics. For once my convention has been denied! Poor Homy, I feel for him. In more ways then one, but I can�t say that out loud because Lucifer gets awfully jealous. Oops, what if he ends up reading this? Oh well, I�ll just have to pray that you won�t show him. Please don�t show him people who are reading this! I�ll do anything! *Big Bambi eyes.*)
Quiz 3: What should Akito do for the readers to ensure that they do not inform Lucifer as to his feelings about the lovely Homunculus?

Well, Ahem, these sorts of things should not be written down in anything other than echi lemons my dear. Does that give you some idea?

Allow them to watch his exploits with Lucifer one day. And get Homy to join in. And Ayame. And Haru. And Johnny Dhepp. And Eike. And Tsuzuki. And-

Pay them a grand sum of money. Those little 100-dollar bills do make the world go round.

Sell them Kyou, Haru and Ayame.

Anything they damn want for however long they want. MWAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA!!!

Percy: (That�s the girl in the red glasses in case you had forgotten dears.) Hey look, it�s a poster for that new movie.

Zombie: (That�s the other girl in the pink sweater who works at the City Hall.) What�s it about?

Percy: (Starting to walk away.) I never get this guy�s movies.

Zombie: Who watches this kind of stuff anyway?

(Eike is standing in the background the whole time checking out the underage girls. Eike, don�t make me start calling you Michael Jackson. Or Shigure for that matter. As soon as the ladies wander off, he makes his way over to look at the poster himself. It is OVA creepy, with some evil demonic face on it clasping its clawed hands in what looks like Satanist prayer. I fall in love right away.)

Eike: "The Meditating Man." ...okay, this sounds pretty dull.

(Now wouldn�t it be amusing if that poster had nothing at all to do with the upcoming scene? Of course it does, since games are always constant like that but still, wouldn�t it be funny? Okay, maybe that�s me. My sense of humor varies considerably to everyone else�s. No one seems to see the funny side to whipping Yuki when he was a kid...)

(So Eike is just hanging around the bulletin pole in the middle of the road, when a timer starts ticking down from 6 seconds. In that time space I make him run over and get an energy thingy-magigy and then race him up the hill towards the library. This is really just to be a smart-ass, because the game designers hate me. When the timer stops ticking, Eike is back in the center of the road, by the board. WTF? I just made him run up the hill!! I�ve come to the conclusion that Eike must simply enjoy dying a lot. Hell, I would too if it meant seeing Homy. Again please don�t tell Lucifer I said that. So anyway a car careens around the corner going full pelt towards Eike who just stands there like a startled rabbit caught in the headlights. Thinking of this happening to Momiji makes me happy. So our protagonist continues to stand in place like the dork that he is as the car crashes full pelt into him. Eike goes flying up over the windscreen like a doll and lands on the road, well and truly dead. Again. Jebus Christ, just how many times is the poor bastard gonna have to die before the killer just admits defeat and gives up? Something tells me it ain�t gonna be anytime soon.)

(Next scene: Homy�s Swinging Limbo Pad of Love, Yeah baby yeah!)

(What is interesting to note in this scene is that Homy doesn�t even appear to Eike in the Limb. This must mean that he�s given up all hope of ever hoping seducing him or something else entirely. I don�t know. What do you think?)
Quiz 4: Where the Hell was Homy in this scene?

He was moping in the shadows because Eike is straight and will never want to engage in hot steamy kinky Yaoi sex with him, unless he is on serious drugs. And Homy can�t afford any.

He didn�t have any clothes on and he doesn�t want Eike to see him naked just yet.

He was in the shower.

He was on the crapper.

He picked up a baby and broke his body. Again.

He�s still mad at Eike for calling him strange.

He just couldn�t be fucking stuffed.

Homy�s disembodied voice: ...Don�t give up, Eike, it�s dangerous to be alone. Do something, or else you�ll never break this spell.

(Back through the worm hole of shiny swirly rainbow lights and then we get a repeat of the above scene with a unique difference: The Digipad glows before the count down begins. Because I�m feeling extra especially mean today, I decide to not use the Digipad and let Eike get squished again just for the fun of seeing it. Then, I use it the second time around. What? I know I�m mean. Fucking sue me.)

(Eike uses the Digipad and goes back to the time where Homy dumped him before in Chapter 3. In case you don�t remember hun, it was when Mr. Eckart was 20 years younger and thinner. Oh, and a jigging guy who did Bust-a-Groove moves on his front lawn in the middle of the night in front of total strangers. Yep, not much has changed. Anyway, this is where Eike lands, not on Eckart�s front lawn thankfully, but on a snowy street somewhere. It is snowing (Duh) and there is the Weirdo Haircut dude from Chapter 3 once more, standing in the middle of the street with his arms raised towards the sky. Okay, WTF? Even I�ve never done something that pointless and stupid and that�s telling you something.)

WHD: ...Failed again. (Lowers his hands and looks sad. He suddenly notices Eike and spins to face him.) It�s happened!! (He stares at Eike like Lucifer stares at me when he�s in the mood. Something�s not quite right here.)

Eike: Whoops...

WHD: (Runs forward and starts shaking Eike�s hand exuberantly. Although I get the feeling that this is not the only thing that he want�s to shake.) You�ve come! (Like I said.) You�ve answered my call, didn�t you?

Eike: (Rightly creeped out.) No-no! Course not! What are you talking about! (Goes to walk away, when at this point, most people would be running. Eike is either very brave or very stupid.)

WHD: No, no, no! Wait!!

Eike: What do you want from me? (Oh poor naive little Eike. Isn�t he aware that every character in the game want�s him? Half of which are male and can�t have him since he so adamantly insists on being straight. You can tell how disappointed I am.)

WHD: L-let me introduce myself! My name is Oleg, - (but he is going to stay WHD because that is more befitting then Oleg. Just on note, WHD looks a lot like Brum�s gay lover- Uh, I mean friend from 100 years ago. This must mean that he is his descendent since as we have learnt by now all the people in this town resemble their ancestors from hundreds of years ago. This does not make any sense though, since Brum�s �friend� couldn�t possibly have reproduced since he was... well, gay. He must have had a fag hag.) -and I am a filmmaker. Just a novice at this point, but... Anyway, ever since I saw you a year ago, I�ve been meditating every chance I can get, channeling all my energy towards seeing you again. (Now this is taking fan obsession way too far.) And finally, you answered! To think I had such power � I will never forget this moment, maybe I should base a movie on this!!

Eike: Uh.

WHD: But what kind of film should it be... A bold and moving drama about a man with miraculous powers? Or a science fiction blockbuster featuring a psychokinetic hero!?

Eike: (Wondering why he can�t meet any ordinary people.) Um...

WHD: Mmh... I see that you�re the type of man who prefers not to betray his excitement. (True, since he manages to remain so calm around Homy whereas most of us would be bowing and scraping like ass kissing dogs.) But let me ask you something � if you were making a film, what kind of movie would it be? (Walks up to Eike and sticks his finger in his face.)

(All right, lets first get something clear; The guy spends a year channeling his amazing psychic energies in order to make this mystery guy reappear, all so he can get movie advice from him? Shoot me. Be merciful and shoot me now before I do myself an injury with this book. I feel like NaPap did when she watched her friend Hash play Legend of Dragoon. I don�t think her heads ever really recovered. N E way, the idea with this bit is that you have to help poor mentally unbalanced WHD come up with a good movie that will make billions of brainless girls want to go see it and get hopelessly stunned just being infront of the poster. This will create a crowd like in the Prologue and the killer won�t dare kill him. See? Is it not ingenious? No I didn�t think so either. Anyway, let�s do the guy a favor and help him become �Instant Spielberg.�

The choices for the movies are the following: "Something about the Meditating Man?" or "Something about time travel?" We know which one we don�t want since �The Meditating man� was such a hopeless flop in the present so we choose the second one.)

WHD: Hah, that�s a pretty good angle. But what about the motivation. (Starts pacing.) For his temporal wanderings?

(Another choice screen pops up. This one is: "To find out the cause of his own death?" or "To take over the world?" Now, I know which one I would personally choose, but I have to follow the script in order to keep Eike from dying so it�s that first one.)

WHD: (Thoughtful.) Cause of death, huh? It needs something else � any ideas? (God damn, he�ll be asking Eike to write the damn script for him next! Anyway, it doesn�t matter which choice you make now since the first two were compulsory. The options here are: "Well, how about a love story?" or "What about a thriller spin?" This only changes what the poster looks like and not the result of the movie. Now, call me crazy but I�m feeling a bit goochie because of that lemon so I�m gonna choose the first one. Even though I know it�ll be a Het romance and not a Yaoi one. Curse the world.)

(After Eike has made all these suggestions, WHD just sort of stands there in awe of his magical movie musing powers. Whatever.)

WHD: Oh, wow, I�m impressed. You�ve really got me... (God, I hope not.) look, please, don�t tell anyone about this project. (Oh yeah, since we all know how much of a gossip whore Eike is.) Once I�m a little higher on the food chain, I can film this. (Pats Eike on the chest with the back of his hand and the controller vibrates. Why God?) But it needs something more � a soul, if you will. (Borrow one from Homy. I�m sure he has plenty.) Well, that�ll come later. Watch for it in the theaters, though, all right?

Eike: O-kay.

WHD: You�re not happy? I am, really I am. Very sincerely. I don�t want to call this a token of that feeling, but here. (Reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks like an ornamental egg on a gold chain. Well, that�s better then unzipping his pants at least.) Please accept this as a gift � in the name of this encounter. (Guess NaPap was right when she said the whole gift giving thing would turn into a contest.)

Eike: Ah...? You sure? It looks like an antique...

WHD: Oh, that�s all right. (Takes Eike�s hand and places the egg into it.) It looks old, but it�s just a replica. My family has the arts and crafts gene, so to speak. We like to make things � and this is the kind of thing my father likes to make. So there are old-fashioned cameras and pocket watches all over his house, and what I like to do is give them to friends. ( I would hardly call Eike a friend, dear.)

Eike: Oh, ah � thank you.

WHD: No, thank you. I consider you one of my greatest benefactors you know. Just talking to you like this gives me something immeasurably valuable.

Eike: (Not able to fathom why talking to him should be helpful to anyone. He is completely oblivious to his sex appeal the little darling.) Really? It does?

WHD: Yes, it does, absolutely. By the way, how does one acquire the power to do what you do? Please, please share some of your powers with me.

Eike: You can�t ask me to do that � I mean, I can�t. Try to forget about all of this, please. Good-bye... (Starts to walk away.)

WHD: (To his back.) No, wait! You can�t just go... (Chucks a chibi temper tantrum.)

(Eike finally gets half a clue and starts running off into the snow choked horizon. If Hatori could see this he would probably cry deep down in his icicle of a heart.)

(Next scene: Rock a bye-bye baby...)

(Eike is not done in this time though. Remember how in the previous chapter, you got a choice whether you told Mary Sue that you believed that she was your ancestress or not? Well if you did tell her, you get to witness a little upcoming scene of Homy making off with Eckart�s daughter. If you didn�t tell her, the scene is exactly the same except you don�t get to see Homy; and really what fun is that?

To see the scene we have to head Eike down Haup Str towards the Library. So that�s where I head right now. Trying to make Eike run in the snow, is a slow painful effort. But I get there eventually. A gunshot rings out and Eike looks around as if to locate where it came from.)

Eike: Gunshots?

(Gamer gets control again and I make him run down the path a little more. A cut scene starts up. Yep, there�s Homy there in all his gothic glory with his back to the camera. Eike takes a closer look. Homy spins around in dramatic slow motion and we all see that he is holding a baby. A real one, not a Baby Born doll or anything like that. Since there is a debate going on right now as to whether or not Homy has boobs I wonder whether or not he will put the theory to rest right now and demonstrate how he might breast feed the baby, if it is in fact his. But Homy is not indulgent of our fantasies and he strides off into the snow.)

Eike: (Wondering why Homy�s not all over him as usual.) Hey! (Makes to run after him)

(Homy, for once, completely ignores our intrepid hero Eike. Burn! Player gets control and I take Eike a little further down the path to witness the next cut scene. There is a woman in a white coat lying in the ground. It would seem that she is mortally wounded even though there is no sign of blood in the snow and you would think, considering that she was shot, that some would be showing. Oops game designers.)

Fat Guy in a beanie (AKA: Beaner Boy): *Shakes the woman�s shoulder* Lady, are you okay?

White coated lady: ...Where... my baby... she... (Keels over sideways and dies. Unlike Eike-y-poo however, she�s not going to just pop back and get another shot. What a pity.)

Eike: Baby...?

Beaner Boy: Lady, hold on! (Shakes her a little and remains by her side. It�s actually kind of sweet in a totally strange kind of way.)

Random Guy: What�s going on? Someone hurt?

Eike: I don�t know. Call an ambulance.

Random Guy: You got it!

Teenager: (Wanders up.) What�s going on here!? A mugging?

Beaner Boy: Isn�t this Mr. Eckart�s... (Okay, I really hope there was an ending to that sentence otherwise I think that guy is even meaner then me. If that�s possible. Just to prove that �this is Mr. Eckart�s� possession, the man himself comes swooping in all dramatically from his library�s direction.)

Mr. Eckart: Miriam! (Yep, there�s the infamous Miriam line. And lucky me, I get to hear it two times more after this. Anyway, Mr. Eckart runs over, shoving poor Beaner Boy out of the way and stares down at his dearly deceased wife with an undead expression on his face. I almost expect his next line to be "Braaaaaaa-~aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinsssssssssssssssss~" )

(Mr. Eckart leans down and starts violently shaking his wife trying to make her, well, wake up or something. People act so weirdly when they think their loved ones are going to die. If I so much as cough Lucifer has me in bed for an entire day, not like that you sicko�s, with a hot water bottle and chicken soup. I�d hate to see what would happen if I ever got really, really, really, really, really, sick. Touch wood.)

Mr. Eckart: Miriam! Stay with me, hold on! Oh God, where�s Dana, wasn�t she with you!? (He asks his wife�s dead corpse.) Did anyone see a baby?

Eike: (Suddenly clicks after 5 seconds.) Oh...! (We see a little flash back of Homy carrying the baby off this time in dramatic slow mo as the truth slowly sinks in; Homy just took MR. ECKARTS BABY! GASP! That baby stealing bastard! This is great honking clue number five thousand eight hundred and fifty two that Homy is, wait for it, not as good as we thought he was. This is made obvious right now to those of us who haven�t had our heads up our asses for the last hour. But yeah, the point is that if Homy did in fact steal a poor innocent baby from a dying woman, taking it away from a man who just lost his wife, that must mean he�s pretty damn naughty. Yep, Homy�s bad. I�ll give you the next three seconds to get over this shocking fact that we could not have seen coming from a mile away, before I get back to writing.)

Mr. Eckart: Did you see her!?

Eike: N-no.

Mr. Eckart: (Angry.) Did you!?

Eike: I don�t know... (Hangs his head. Aww, he�s standing up for his little Homy. Too bad Homy doesn�t give a nezumi�s ass about him anymore. Hey, you had your chance Spike!)

Teenager: (Looking at Eike suspiciously.) Did anyone see who did this? (Beaner Boy shakes his head in response.)

Mr. Eckart: God, no, this is not happening... (Holds Miriam close to him and I am full of pity for him for around 5 seconds. Then I get on with what�s left of my life.)

(There is a black screen and the Digipad goes off. Eike can go back in time and try to stop Miriam from being shot in the first place. Aww, why not? Let�s give it a go people!)

(Next scene.)

(Eike goes back in time to just before the shooting. He sees Miriam walking along doting over her baby and he heads on over to try and prevent the inevitable.)

Eike: Hi, excuse me.

Miriam: Yes?

(Player gets two choices here as to what to say to Miriam. They are: "Don�t go that way. It�s dangerous" or "Your baby�s really cute." Since amazingly enough, I�m a baby kind of guy, (meaning that I like them in a general parental way you sicko�s) I choose the second one. This also means that Miriam does not run away from Eike all terrified. She just ignores him. Great...)

Miriam: Oh, thank you. (Rocks the baby back and forth a bit.)

Eike: Look, can I ask you a favor? Could you take a different way?

Miriam: What?

Eike: It�s dangerous ahead. Please.

Miriam: A �ah, I see... All right, thank you. (She walks away from Eike still cooing over the baby. All right, it�s cute. We get it.)

Eike: Please, be careful.

(Miriam turns off Haup Str and goes onto another road. Eike, his work done, wanders off down another path to do his own thing. As soon as he turns his back however, Miriam appears from around the corner, checks to see that he is gone, then goes on her way down Haup Str. Stupid female! What was so wrong with taking a different path just because some guy asked you too? Women! They�re such stubborn creatures sometimes! Although, I confess that I am hardly any better but still...)

(Anyway, we now get control of Eike and I take him off down Haup Str again. There is a cut scene where we hear a gun shot go off and Eike whips around, all stunned.)

Eike: What!?

(Next scene.)

(Basically a repeat of the previous death scene only this time Eike walks up and says "Gone � she�s gone again..." No fucking shit Eike. Mr. Eckart comes charging in again and the same dramatic, �No don�t leave me� shit starts but the only change in the dialogue happens when he asks Eike about the baby. I�ll write from there.)

Eike: I don�t know...

Teenager: Hey, you were just talking to this lady, weren�t you?

Eike: Well, that was... (The Digipad glows in Eike�s pocket and he tries to subtly edge away without looking like he is guilty of this crime he did not commit. He is acting so suspiciously that even I am starting to suspect him, even though I know he couldn�t have killed her since I was controlling him. But he is really playing up to the part...)

Beaner Boy: Hey!

Mr. Eckart: That man �

Teenager: I�d say he�s acting suspicious. (See? Even the NPC�s can see how stupid he�s being! Acting as though he�s trying to conceal something. They run up to Eike and grab him to keep him from leaving.)

Beaner Boy: Hey! Where do you think you�re going?

Teenager: You trying to make a quick getaway?

Eike: A getaway!? I haven�t done anything... (Which is true, but he certainly isn�t acting like an innocent man.)

(Fact to the matter is, that the Digipad is calling Eike because he�s in danger of going into Time Limbo. If he waits around any longer it�ll be game over time, which is bad. So Eike has to use the Digipad to return to the present, because for some reason it prevents him from going back to before Miriam got shot. So Eike disappears in the middle of all those people, not that they seem to care... or notice... and another cut scene starts up. WHD is standing behind a pole watching the disaster unfold instead of, I don�t know, helping out or something. But who said he shouldn�t just stand around watching? That�s right... no one!)

WHD: Good God, this looks serious. (Leans back against the pole sadly and then for some reason starts spazzing shit about his movie again. Talk about freakin� work oriented!) A major case, that�s it! Murder, mystery and time travel! That�s the concept. This is going to be one hot project! But hmmm... if this relates to that and...hm, it�s going to need a little more work � actually it�s gonna need a lot of work. But, I must make this my masterpiece.... (Takes another quick glance at the crime scene then races off to do some brainstorming. Nice that he seems so concerned about Mr. Eckart�s grief and all that, you know having lost his wife and all but oh no, it�s all about the movie. Asshole.)

(Next scene: Let�s do the time warp again ~)

(And seeing as how we haven�t had a large enough dose of the little devil yet, Homy pops back up to give Eike a lecture. As the blonde sails through the Swirly Wormhole of Star Trek fans everywhere, a pair of black bunny gumboots we know and love descend into the scene alone with Homy�s apathetic voice, and eventually, Homy himself. ... Homy does talk a lot like Hannibal Lector. (Thanks to NaPap for that one.)

Homy: (Annoyed.) Now really, what is it this time? The good Samaritan? (That was a great line because of the way Homy said it. It was in a totally dissing way, a really �yeah right� kind of way. Homy gets this chapter�s "Ripping on Annoying Character�s award.") Didn�t I tell you? Fate makes a powerful opponent. It�s tough enough changing your own fate... you can�t do much to someone else�s. Doing it over again doesn�t mean you�re going to get it right anytime soon... (He and Eike are just merrily floating around in the Green Bubble of Mad Time Travelling Skilz whilst he is telling the protagonist off, for being nice. In the next line he spins around upside down, making Eike and myself get motion sick just watching. Homy must have a tummy of iron. No Wallbug, not �Boobs of Steel� get back to your smut. Sick bug.) You may put yourself through the pain, the tears again and again. You should try concentrating on correcting your fate as quickly as possible. I�m saying this for your own sake. (*Cough* Yeahright. *Cough*) Good-bye for now...

(Yeah, I�m sure Eike�s really going to take orders from a psychopathic, baby stealing chibi genie. Okay, well if you want to get literal about it, I�m not going to. Sorry Homy, but NaPap says I have to save Miriam for the sake of recapping later on. Dammit. Anyway, Eike gets plonked back in the present but I immediately send him back to save the woman cause I have to. God this is an annoying chapter to recap. Still, I have to be thankful that I did not get the previous one. Neither my sanity, nor my bladder has the kind of stretch in it as NaPap�s does. Not that it could stretch anymore considering that she�s a total fruitloop now, but still...)

(Next scene: The chase is on!)

(Eike runs up to the doting Miriam.)

Eike: Hi, excuse me.

Miriam: Yes?

Eike: Don�t go that way. It�s dangerous. Please, will you take a different route?

Miriam: Excuse me...? (Looking a tad disturbed she starts to walk away, casting worried glances over her shoulder as she goes.)

Eike: (reaching his hand out.) W-Wait!

(Now comes one of the most tedious moments in the entire game. The idea here is to chase Miriam around the block and down Haup Str and then push her out of harms way. It�s horrifically annoying since Miriam for some reason can go faster then Eike, despite the latter being 2 feet taller, having longer legs, no heavy overcoat and no baby. And she got a head start! Still, I guess there would be no challenge if she was just a crawling turtle.

Run, run, run, run, run, run, round the corner, up the hill, round that corner, onto Haup Str, run, run, run, try to keep up... ah, here�s the cut scene. Note my amazing recapping abilities; that I can run and write that I am running at the same time? Well, that would be because I am the amazing Akito Sohma and I can do anything! Just ask Lucifer if you want confirmation! Heh, heh, heh...)

(Next scene: Super Eike.)

Eike: (Running towards Miriam.) Watch out! (He flies through the air towards her (Just like Neo in The Matrix Reloaded.) and knocks the stunned woman out of the way, as two gunshots ring out. She and Eike lay on the ground immobile for a few seconds before the latter finally gets to his feet. Oh, so he wasn�t dead after all. It just seems by now, that whenever there is a chance that Eike can get himself killed he manages to do so. Must be a novelty for him.)

Eike: (As Beaner Boy and Random Bystander run up.) Are you all right!?

Miriam: (Gasps in shock as she sees the bullets buried in the buildings far wall that were meant for her. Eike kneels down infront of her and takes her hand. This is actually kind of sweet. Good thing Mr. Eckart isn�t here though, he probably would have been more upset about her holding another mans hand than he was at her death.) You � you saved me...

Eike: Maybe... Are you hurt anywhere?

Miriam: (Examines herself. No sick jokes missy.) Thank you � only some scrapes. You really were trying to help, weren�t you...I�m sorry.

Eike: (Smiling rather cutely if I do say so myself.) Don�t worry about that. Are you all right?

(The two sort of have a moment, until Miriam remembers her baby. How could you possibly forget the damn thing, you were only oogling over it for the last hour and a half you silly woman!)

Miriam: W-wait, where is she? My baby?

Eike: (Climbing to his feet.) Damn! The baby! (The baby probably flew out of Miriam�s arms when Eike pushed her and landed in Homy�s as he waltzed past on his way to the bakery. Silly, but probably accurate.)

Beaner Boy: There�s no kid around here. Are you okay, lady?

(Mr. Eckart finally shows up and even though she�s alive and kicking he still can�t resist being all dramatic about it. Just die already Eckart.)

Mr. Eckart: Miriam!! Are you all right?

Miriam: ...I�m all right...

Mr. Eckart: (Examines her for a few seconds.) You�re bleeding! (And amazingly enough, she is! The game designers actually covered her hands with blood! Go non lazy animators!)

Miriam: That doesn�t matter! I�m all right! Where is she � where is she?!

(As Mr. Eckart looks for the baby, much the same way Eike was looking for Dana, the Digipad goes off and Eike smoothly makes his exit by walking away from the commotion.)

Random Bystander: Hey, where�re you going?

Eike: Oh, ah � thought I�d see if anyone around her saw anything.

Random Bystander: Okay, then I�ll go call the ambulance.

(The scene ends. Though if you talk to Eckart and Miriam twice an interesting little titbit is revealed. Eckart says that though he is grateful to Eike he is still agreived at the disappearance of their daughter... DUN, DUN DUN DUN ~ Dana! Ooh, can�t you just feel the sting of the plot mallet hitting you on the head? So that all over with, Eike goes back to the future to see the success of WHD movie poster.)
Quiz 5: What was Mr. Eckart the most upset about in this scene?

That his daughter had mysteriously disappeared into thin air.

That his wife didn�t die and that he couldn�t act more dramatic.

That Miriam was bleeding.

That someone taller, smarter and better looking, (namely Eike) was holding his wifes hand.

(Next scene: A star is born.)

Percy: (Walking up to the pole.) Hey look, it�s a poster for that new movie.

Zombie: (Runs up beside her.) What�s it about?

Percy: "A man with the power to defy time itself uncovers the truth behind a grisly serial murder."

Zombie: (As Eike appears in shot.) Hey, that sounds pretty cool. I like that kind of stuff.

Lucy Liu: (Runs up to join them.) Hey, what�s cool?

Curtain Goth: (Aww, isn�t it sweet? The whole gangs here!) Oh, this director? I am such a great fan of his.

Lucy Liu: Oh my God, you too? That is so totally amazing!

(There is a slow pan up of the movie poster which is called; "Trip for Two" and it has a blue background with large brown watches all over it. There is a guy on the front who looks scarily like an older version of Kureno and a girl who is wearing the same clothes as Zombie and has the same haircut clinging onto this chest with his arm around her waist. Ah, so that�s where my little chicken has been earning that extra money... I wonder how long he and Uo have been in the film making business together? Still, it is not a Yaoi romance film and this makes me angry! Dang nammit! I knew I stuffed up somewhere!!)

(Well N E way, Eike watches as the girls chatter on animately about the movie and then the scene shows WHD watching from around the corner, only he is about 20 years older now and not quite so eccentric... I would think...)

WHD: All right! I�ve got a good feeling about this one too. (Turns around and leans against the wall as the camera moves to show a car parked right infront of him.) Another major hit, no doubt about that! Really!

(The car suddenly starts up and the lights go on. It jerks forward then inexplicably reverses, undoubtedly seeing the large crowd and not wanting to squish Eike flat with so many witnesses. So it reverses out of sight, scaring WHD quite silly.)

WHD: (Chucking another chibi tantee.) Hey! Watch what you�re doing!!

(Back down by the pole Eike is perving on the girls who are all in a tizy about seeing the great Het movie starring my chicken slave. His phone rings, Eike�s not my chickens, and he fishes it out and answers it.)

Eike: Hello.

Mr. Eckart: (On phone.) "Hi there. I�m sorry, but somethings come up and I need that book back. If you could bring it over, I�ll be waiting at the library tower."

(Eike hangs up and there is a wee shot of him looking troubled before we fade out and the chapter ends.)

(Well, NaPap hasn�t come back yet so I guess it is up to me to keep recapping until she returns from the hosptital. However, I myself need to take a break in order to punish Kureno for not informing me of his movie star career. So, we�ll just leave Eike hanging until the next chapter. That was absolutely no forshadowing of anything else that is coming up by the way... absolutely nothing at all...

Seeyonara!)

(End chapter.)
