They were nowhere in sight, no matter how hard Natsa searched the crowd. Wasn't they just outside a minute ago? They couldn't get in trouble, could they? Maybe Loke was trying to hang up with someone...and Lisanna followed? No.. Where could they be?
Happy looked out of his place in the hood, his large cat eyes were wandering the crowds, searching for their missing friends. Even with his eyes, neither of them were able to find them.
"RUN!" Gray yelled as the door opened to reveal the seller and three huge guys, who guarded the black market. He was quick on his feet, even with many layers, and run to Natsa. He lifted her over his shoulder and ran. She pouted, why does he think she can't run?
"GET THEM!" shouted the seller, his gray hair standing on end. He was running after them, but because of his age, he gotten tired fast. In the middle of the chase, the seller had to stop and take breaths. This was too much for his old age, but it's what he gets for trusting them. He knew they were trouble, they were a part of a dark guild, but they brought good business, and he trusted them a bit too much. It was easy to trust the pick-haired female. But you're never suppose to trust anyone in the Black Market, but age does wonders on your thinking.
Gray ran, turning corners and twisting his path, trying to lose their trail. Every now and again, he would ask Natsa if they would still following him. They kept running till he lost the last guard-guy.
Gray dropped Natsa behind a stone wall and he panted. His clothes were becoming a slight sweaty, enough where he removed two layers. "That feels better..." he stated as he leaned back against the wall. He looked around, there wasn't the sliver or orange haired in sight. "Where are they?"
Natsa turned her back and looked over the wall. "I don't know."
"They wasn't by the door..." added Happy as he climbed out of the hood and onto Natsa's head. He curled his body and sighed. When he finds his mother, he loses his aunt.
"We might have to go back," Natsa said. "Maybe they just looked around, or got lost?"
"Wouldn't they know better?" asked Gray. If that was the case, he wasn't liking the Earthland Lisanna, or this Loke. They were just causing more and more trouble. He looked at Natsa, she had a worried expression, and he sighed. "Come on, let's go," he agreed, he just couldn't say no to that face. He could barley say no to any of her faces, but that expression was like the puppy dog face, it had a major effect on him. He didn't want that expression on her face, it made him feel bad.
She smiled and lifted her hood to cover Happy's body. It would turn ugly if people saw him, he was an Exceed in this world, so it would caused a major uproar.
With that, they came back to the crime scene. Unlike other times, they were hiding behind the building. Natsa peeked her head out, smelling the surrounding. They were there, but so was millions of other people. Her nose wasn't no use in this, there were too many smells, too many different items.
Gray nudged her in her stomach and pointed over to two women. They were talking about something. Gray made a gesture with his hand and ear, telling her to listen to their conversation.
He was right, the two women were talking about a certain event that occurred. "They finally captured that Lisanna," stated the blond one.
"I heard she had a partner this time, a new one," added the black-haired.
"Seems like we're going to the kingdom one way or another," Gray stated. He turned to Natsa, "We have to get there fast though..."

Happy smiled, even in the last two years, Natsa hasn't changed a bit. They were in a car, thanks to Happy's influence of being an Exceed. Natsa was in the back seat, barking up her lunch out the window. She never liked cars, she couldn't even see her Edo self riding in one.
Gray was in the front seat, someone had to drive the car, and it sure wasn't Natsa. He kept looking back, he didn't like this one bit. On one hand, he was harming Natsa, on the other, the were traveling faster to save her friends. She wanted to save her friends, even if she had to get car sick.
As soon as the car stopped, Natsa jumped out. She kissed the ground, and say her famous line of never getting back into a car ever again.
Okay, this chapter was covering the bit boring things. I'm just going to add one more chapter about this mission, then it's going to be the end. This story got way longer than it was suppose too, I just thought this would be a threeshot, but I thought way too much on the subject and added more.
Please review and suggest!
