"Captain Shiro needs the special medicine." Chiryuu explained. He was on his knees in front of The Master. "Shall I go to Limestone Town and get it from Lyra?"
The Master shook his head. "No, you stay here, I want someone else to make this trip to Limestone and get it. Get me Clema."
Chiryuu stood up and nodded.
Limestone Town was a little town on the outskirts of the city, known to be peaceful and beautiful.
Chiryuu knocked on Clema and Emashi's door. Emashi answered. "Hello Assistant Captain Chiryuu."
"The Master wants to see Clema." Chiryuu said.
Emashi called for Clema, and Clema came to the door, with an emotionless expression.
As Chiryuu and Clema walked back toward The Meeting Hall, Chiryuu noticed Clema's silence, and emotionless face.
"Is something wrong?" Chiryuu asked looking concerned.
Clema looked at him and looked straight. "No."
They both entered through the big doors and went up to The Master. The Master smiled at Clema, but Clema ignored it.
"As you know, Shiro has been very ill." The Master began. "He is now in need of more medicine, from Lyra, the doctor who has been making special medicine for Shiro. She is located in Limestone Town. I want you to go there and pick it up."
"Why me, sir?" Clema said flatly.
"Being in Limestone might cheer you up." The Master said smiling. "It's so peaceful there, and you can clear your mind there."
"I have nothing in my mind to clear." Clema answered.
"Oh come on Clema, something is…" Chiryuu began, but was cut off by The Master.
"Just go, trust me, I believe you will find this trip to Limestone helpful."
Clema stared at The Master for a moment, and walked out.
Chiryuu stared at The Master with an uneasy look. "Sir…"
The Master continued to smile. "Go tell Shiro his medicine will be here soon."
"Sir, on the way to Limestone is… the forest… where Ken died." Chiryuu said. "How can you make Clema go by there?"
The Master sighed. "She has to learn."
Chiryuu nodded and left the Meeting Hall.
"So he wants you to go to Limestone?" Emashi asked Clema as she packed some food and water for the trip in a yellow backpack. Clema nodded.
"Are you going to bring anyone?" Emashi asked a bit concerned. "I would, but I am busy with Number 56's case."
Clema stopped packing things and looked out her window. There was a moment of silence, but then she said "Yes, I'm bringing Naruto."
Emashi smiled. "Well that's good." He then put on a serious face. "You know you will be passing that forest. I want you to pay no mind of it, and go straight to Limestone. Understand?"
Clema nodded. "Good." Emashi said. He then walked out of Clema's room.
Captain Ruko and Naruto were at the Execution Grounds, looking at the huge hole caused by Laura earlier. The fallen rocks were completely black, and hot when touched.
"What happened here?" Naruto asked walking around the hole.
Ruko studied the hole. "I don't know, someone came into a battle here and not long ago."
"Naruto!" screamed a voice approaching the Execution Grounds. They both turned to see Soria, running to them. When she reached them, she took time to take a deep breath.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
"Emashi said Clema wants to see us now." Soria said regaining her normal breathing.
"Why?" Naruto asked with a blank face.
"I don't know, but come on." Soria said, turning around to walk away.
Naruto followed Soria all the way to Clema's house. They knocked on the door to be greeted by Emashi. Emashi led them up to her room, where Clema greeted them and offered them a seat.
"What's up Clema?" Naruto asked observing her backpack.
"I want you both to come on a trip with me." Clema explained. "I have to go to Limestone and pick up medicine for Captain Shiro."
Soria froze. "Limestone… the forest is by there…"
"Well sure." Naruto said smiling. "How far is Limestone?"
"It's about a day's trip from here." Clema said. "Limestone is the most peaceful town in the Soul Reaper World.
"Alright." Naruto said. "I'll go. Soria, how about you?"
Soria looked Clema in the eyes and looked down. "Sure." She finally said, quietly.
"We will leave tomorrow morning." Clema said. "Pack some stuff for the trip."
Naruto and Soria understood. Naruto exited first, followed by Soria. Soria and Clema's eyes meet when she exited behind him.
After Clema's house, Soria went right to Rose's building. She knocked on her door, and she could hear Rose's high heels walk towards the door. She opened it and smiled. "Hello Soria."
"Hello Captain Rose." Soria said smiling. "I wanted to tell you something."
"Oh?" Rose said in her smooth voice. "Come on in."
Soria walked in, looking all around. Rose had a nice house, and she loved the view out the big glass windows.
"Wow, what a view." Soria said looking out the window.
"Yes." Rose said smiling. "It is. So what did you want?"
"I will be going on a trip to Limestone with Clema and Naruto." Soria explained. "So I won't be around these next couple of days."
"Oh I see." Rose said frowning. "Why are you going to Limestone?"
"Captain Shiro needs special medicine only made by Lyra." Soria said. "She is a skilled medicine maker."
"Lyra of Limestone?" Rose repeated.
"That's right." Soria said smiling. She walked towards the door. "That's all, see you soon." She exited.
Rose walked toward her huge glass windows and stared out. "Lyra of Limestone…" She smiled.
