Four days has passed. Four long days since the beginning of her journey and Ryuko never stopped. For days and night she just travelled with her motorbike, taking small breaks on the refill the fuel of the veichle. The tiredness was unbareable for any normal human. But since she was also composed by life-fibers she could handle it well… But not forever. Infact, her sight was starting to become a little blurry while riding on the streets.

"Senketsu…" she thought "Hold on… I'm coming…"

She kept going for another couple of hours, but at the end she was forced to stop for the night. She couldn't recognize anymore the real space around her while travelling and it was very dangerous to keep going in these conditions. And even if Ryuko was stubborn like nobody else Satsuki managed to teach her that she never have to go too far beacuse even the strongest can fall against the weakest if not propely rested.

Ryuko found a small hotel so she parked her motorbike and went inside to check the price of a room. It wasn't very big and it was like if the last customer passed by years ago. The prices were discounted, maybe to attract some people but there were just a few motorbike outside and a small truck. The hotel owner was a fat and old guy. He locked his eyes on her figure since she opened the door. Ryuko saw this so when he offered to lead her to her room she was sighed, however she wasn't able to find it alone so she accepted.

"This is your room" he said "If you need something just call me… i will be glad to help in everyway i can" while saying this he lowered his gaze on her chest and belly.

"I will not need any kind of help and if i found out that you are doing anything pervert i will kill you!" Ryuko answered angrily before entering the room and slamming the door on his face. She also made sure that there weren't holes or anything else Wight chic that old guy could spy her.

After making sure that she was safe, she let herself fell on the bed. The room was a mess, but she didn't care. The bed was clean and it was eveything she needed. She sighed heavily. She was very tired but also hungry and in need of a cigarette. She opened her bag and took out some sandwiches, a bottle of water and a small handkerchief. She was wearing a t-shirt with short sleeves wich were covering just her shoulders. There she was keeping her pack of cigarettes. She took it out after eating and used the lighter inside it to start smoking. Holding the cigarette with her mouth, she opened the window to let the fresh breeze inside.

Her mind was wandering in the skies, flowing with the clouds, as far as the stars. The moon was shining so much that she tried to catch it. It was so close, and yet so far… Like Senketsu. A small tear formed in the corner of her right eye. She left everything to start her journey. And now she was alone again. Mako… Her family… The élite four… She missed all of them… But there was one person that she missed more than the others: Satsuki… Her sister…

Ryuko layed on the bed after throwing her cigarette away and closing the window… She was too tired to change her clothes… And while she was slipping in the realm of dreams, she thought one thing:

"Satsuki… help me…"

Satsuki closed her eyes while passing a hand on her forehead. She had a small headache but for a moment the pain increate, then deceased.

"Lady Satsuki… are you alright?" Iori asked.

"Yes Iori… I'm fine…" She answered.

"You should get some rest… When was the last time you sleep?"

"Four days ago… but i don't have time to rest… We need to finish this project as fast as we can…" Satsuki said.

Iori's house was as big as Satsuki's, but it was full of tailoring materials and machines. All the members of the tailoring club were working at incredible speed everywhere and the duo was inspecting their work.

"So… You have gathered all your ex-club members…" Satsuki said. "How is going with our little project?" She asked.

"We are going well, but we will have some difficulties since we don't have enough time" Iori answered.

"I know… I'm sorry about this, but i need this project complete before Ryuko's first contact with this new enemy." She said.

Iori paused for a moment. "We can speed up the work of another tele percent, but even like this… With my three stars uniform it would take just a couple of hours, but it was destroyed week ago in the last fight"

"Don't worry, Iori" Satsuki said "Just complete this project… I will take care of everything"

Iori relax a bit. "Lady Satsuki, one last question: What's the project code name?"

Satsuki smirked. "Project Resurrection" She said. And with this, she left Iori to his work.

"Ryuko… Don't worry… I will be ready to help you in three days" She thought.

Ryuko woke up early in the morning. After the usual trip to the bathroom to wash her face and fixing her hair a bit, she packed her things togheter and went outside the room. She handled the money to the hotel owner, who gladi invited her to stop again in the future, but she wasn't listening. She slept well, but she still felt a little tired.

"I will stop to another hotel if i found one… I can't keep going on like this forever." She thought while reaching her bike. Then she stopped for a moment. "When did i started to think like Satsuki?" She said to herself. "Besides… She is right… I need to take care of my health…" She went on while taking the keys and turning on the engine of the bike."I can't save Senketsu like this… I will definetly stop to the next hotel… I need a good rest" She then went on with her journey, riding her veichle towards the mountain, following the feeling that was leading her since the beginning: hope.
