I wouldn't let Ivo go with me and Shadow and I refused to let Rogue come and egg me on. We ride the bus through the city. I plan on going to the library. I bite my nails and shake my leg.

Shadow puts a hand on my leg. "You're doing it again."

"Doing what? Annoying you?"

Shadow gives me a dirty look. I sigh and lean back, rubbing my face. "I'm sorry, Shadow. I just…I can't process all of this."

"And getting even more information to process will help?"

Now I give him a dirty look. The bus stops and opens its doors. Shadow walks off the bus but it isn't our stop.

"Shadow!" I scold and jump off the bus after him. I follow him. "What are you doing?"

He doesn't answer me. I follow him and we walk. I look around the city. It isn't as pretty as it is at night. Still, it's prettier than most cities, and oddly quiet. I smile and let Shadow drag me wherever he wants.

I start to hum quietly, a tune that I've never hear before, but it makes Shadow's lip twitch into a small smile only for a second. The smile makes him look more evil than he is.

"Where are we going, Shadow?" I finally ask.

"The library like you wanted."

"We could've taken the dumb bus!" I smack the back of his head.

He growls. "You need to process the information that you've received. On the ARK you would walk. So we're walking. That way you don't pass out!"

I growl at him but I know he's right. I HATE that he's right!

I let him lead me to the library. It takes an hour to get there so I try and process the information. But all I can hear are a bunch of voices in my head. "She will be my greatest experiment!" "I'm an artificial life. Same as you and the rest of the clan." "Touch the Crystal and I'll come back." "Do not listen to his lies." "Wake up!"

"Yuna." Shadow's voice drags me out of my trance. "We're here."

The library is huge! It's three stories and holds millions upon millions of books! The book cases line the walls and the halls and touches the ceiling. The ceiling is a dome of skylight.

Shadow and I gather books and articles based on the Millennium Crystal, the Juziku clan, and anything related to that. We spend hours looking through the books and articles.

I throw a book across the desk we sit at. "We aren't finding anything new!" I yell. My voice echoes through the library and everyone glares at me. I lay my head down, hoping not to be noticed by whoever runs the library. "We aren't finding anything new!" I repeat in a whisper.

"I heard you the first time." Shadow stacks the books and starts to put them back. I pick up a stack and follow him around the library.

"It just sucks. The entire point for us coming here was to learn something new." I put books back as I pass the spots that I got them from. "All I learned was Robotnik theorized that the crystal is made from the same elements that the Chaos Emeralds are made out of."

"That's something new." After we're done we walk out of the library.

"It's a theory. I wasn't looking for theories." We walk to a bus station and sit on the bench. We sit in silence for a very long time. "Shadow," I finally say, "what happened when I touched the Crystal?"

"You passed out…" I watch his aura switch like a light, full of concern and worry, "and when Ivo touched you, you started convulsing for a few seconds. Mona helped calm the seizures."

I thought about the old woman. "Nobody else appears to have "special abilities"."

"So?" Shadow looks at me with confusion. The bus stops so I don't answer him until we've settled ourselves in the back of the bus.

"Well a few things bother me, if my parents ran away because they were attacked then why didn't they just find another person to replace me? Why wait all of these years? And more importantly, how is it she has a type of psychic ability but nobody else does?"

Shadow stares at me. Then a small smile forms on his face.

"What?" I tilt my head.

"Dr. Robotnik may not have been your uncle but you act a lot like him. Too many questions and not enough answers."

I can't help but smile. "I guess so. But what can you expect from somebody who was raised by a scientist."

We sit quietly for a few minutes. Shadow suddenly breaks the good tension between us, "Why do your questions bother you so much? Their behavior seems normal."

"Maybe but…there wasn't any chance of me finding them again. They should've just moved on. And how is a priest or priestess even chosen? Obviously I was chosen while in the womb but why? And how?" I rub my head. "Ugh! Stress headache."

"Then answer one question at a time. See where it takes you."

I look out the window. One thing is for certain, I need answers and only Yang can answer them form me. Hopefully without Yin interfering.
