Mitsuru was travelling the mall, when a shadow got interested in her.

"Alright, so how many stray shadows are left in this area ?", asked Mitsuru to Fuuka, as she, Minato, Yukari and Junpei were travelling across the dark hallways of the Paulownia mall, eliminating shadows left and right with their personas.

"Let me see..., there should be about 15 to 20 shadows left..., in this wing of the mall", responded Fuuka as she scaned the area.

"Man, at this rate we are never finish here...", exclamed Junpei tired as he yawned, for it was already past 12:00 of the morning.

"Don't be such a sloth, you knew what you were going into when you offered to join!", exclamed Yukari annoyed at Junpei.

"Ok then, how about we split up so we can finish faster", Suggested Minato to the team.

"Good idea, let us go each a separe way, and then we can meet back at the entrance", said Misturu, upon which, the four members of S.E.E.S all went their separe ways to eliminate the shadows faster, with Mitsuru herself going to the food court area of the mall.

As she went around eliminating the lesser shadows of the mall, however, an strange blue and purple shadow with pink heart-shaped eyes , appeared from within the darkness, "...a...playmate...", the shadow murmured as it took an interest upon the red headed girl, and began to get closer.

"Ehh..., who or what is in there...!", shouted Misturu looking around herself, as she felt like something was following her.

"...let's play..., you and me!", the shadow whispered in her left ear, as it suddendly manisfested behind her, taking her by surprise.
