"They are! There's lots of strong people here and if we all work together we will be able to make everyone happy again."

[sunflowerfairy]

..Everyone? Even the bad people? Yotsuba looked a little puzzled as she tried to put this together.

"Even if we work with the bad people? And who are we working for?"

[myblueskies]

"Well some people are actually good people pretending to be bad. But the really bad people wont want to join us anyways." He shrugged.

"All of us! To save us all, we haven't really got a boss."

[sunflowerfairy]

"But..why would they pretend to be bad? It's not good to be bad!" While that was pretty obvious, Yotsuba still felt the need to point it out. She couldn't see why anyone would pretend to be bad. Why would anyone pretend they hated her as they killed her?

However, she did get the second part. "Oh! I understand! We're all working for everyone! We're all our own boss!"

[myblueskies]

"It's not but sometimes they got to, and sometimes they think it's better if people think they're bad. So we gotta help them learn that being good is better and then they will stop pretending." Just like mister Itachi had, though thinking of mister Itachi made him really sad.

He nodded, "We are!"

[sunflowerfairy]

While Yotsuba was all for helping them understand that being good was better, she still didn't understand a few points.

"Okay..but why do they have to? And why would they think it's better?"

[myblueskies]

"Well they just do. Grown ups are weird and think funny things sometimes. But one time the bad people swapped all our bodies round and I ended up in this bad persons body but I gotted all his memories and really he was just trying to look after his little brother. But because everything around him was so bad he became a really bad person, because he didn't want his brother to get hurt." He explained to her sadly.

[sunflowerfairy]

While Yotsuba would agree with the fact that grown-ups sometimes thought weird things sometimes, she was having a hard time wrapping her brain around being bad to protect someone when others were being bad.

"But..how was being bad when other people were being bad going to help his brother?"

[myblueskies]

"Because they would have hurt his brother if he wasn't bad." He squeezed her hand again.

"He stopped pretending to be bad when he was here. Because the bad people are really really bad here."

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba smiled, not just because of the squeeze, but because she understood Romeo's explanation. At least, she thought she did.

"Oh! I understand now! The people that would have hurt his brother aren't here, even if they are bad! So he doesn't have to pretend!"

[myblueskies]

"Yes." Romeo nodded, even though that wasn't all of it. It was hard to explain though and Romeo only understood it because he had mister Itachi's memories.

"When we all get back to normal Yotsuba, do you want to come to a meeting of our club? It's for all the kids in the tower so we can work together and be strong and beat the bad people. My friend Ken is the leader, he's really really great!"

[sunflowerfairy]

Even though Yotsuba didn't know about the rest of it, this explanation was enough for her. However, Romeo's offer pulled her attention from whatever Romeo's friend might have been, and her smile grew. If her eyes had been normal, they would have been like gems.

"Yotsuba wants to beat the bad people! I want to join!"

[myblueskies]

"Great! I'll make sure to tell you when the next meeting is. If we all work together we'll beat the bad people in no time. I bet you've got loads of good ideas as well." He squeezed her hand again happily.

[sunflowerfairy]

"Thank you! I can use a sling! Enoch showed me how to make them!"

[myblueskies]

"That's great! You could teach us all how to use them!"

[sunflowerfairy]

"And we could make them for people so that the bad people don't hurt them!"

[myblueskies]

"Yes and then they can all stay safe!" He swung their hands. "You have great ideas!"

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba laughed a little as Romeo swung their hands, and swung hers with him. It was good to help out, even if the grown-ups wouldn't let her sometimes, and even though there were lots of monsters and bad people here.

"They can! Enoch could help us all practice..and I know how to avoid monsters! Yotsuba could tell people how!"

[myblueskies]

"That will be great Yotsuba!" He nodded glad that she seemed a lot happier now. "I'll make sure to tell Ken how brave you are and that you got really good ideas!"

[sunflowerfairy]

"Okay! Can I meet Ken too?"

[myblueskies]

"Of course you can!"

[sunflowerfairy]

"Yay! When? Now?"

No, Yotsuba..not now..

[myblueskies]

"At the meeting. Soon!"

[sunflowerfairy]

"Oh. Okay then! Yotsuba will wait!"

[myblueskies]

"Good, first we have to find mister Enoch and your friends."
