That night, Clema, Naruto, and Soria camped out and the next morning resumed traveling. Soon they came to a beautiful open field with flowers, and up ahead they could see small houses.

"Up there is Limestone." Clema explained pointing to the small houses. "It's a quiet little town."

"The scenery here is amazing." Naruto said looking all around.

Soria smiled. "Yeah, let's keep moving."

They walked in a single file line; Clema leading the way, Soria right after her, and then Naruto. Naruto took off his headband, and his spiky blonde hair went down over his forehead. He took off his backpack and took out a white rag.

"What are you doing?" Clema asked looking back at him.

"Polishing my Leaf Village headband." Naruto answered. He took the rag and rubbed it all around the headband. The headband began to sparkle in the sunlight.

While Naruto was doing this, Soria began to walk at Clema's pace.

"Why didn't you try to take the right path?" Soria whispered when they were walking next to each other.

"You told me not to," Clema began smiling strangely. "Your right, I wasn't thinking straight."

Soria displayed a black face. "Ok then…"

Moments later, they entered the small town of Limestone. All the little houses had yellow roofs, and wooden doors. They were all two stories high. The streets were populated with many people. Children ran around playing games with each other, while other people were purchasing fruit from food stands.

"So, uh, where do we find Lyra?" Naruto asked dodging a little boy who ran past him.

"Her house is up ahead." Soria explained. "She also makes medicine for the townsfolk."

Up ahead was a small hill with one building on it. It was like the other buildings, but was three stories high. There was a wooden sign in front of the building that read "Limestone Pharmacy."

Clema opened the door and a small bell rang. The inside was a big room, with several wooden chairs. There was a counter with a cash register on top of it straight ahead, with a wooden door beyond it.

Soria walked up to the counter and noticed a little silver bell. She pushed down on it and it rung.

Clema took a seat on one of the wooden chairs while Naruto looked at some of the posters put on the walls. Soria took a seat next to Clema. They waited.

Moments later, the door opened slowly revealing an elderly woman, dressed in a pink dress. Her white hair was fixed in a bun, and she had a kind smile on her face. She had pink diamond earrings.

"Good morning Lyra." Clema said politely getting up. Soria also got up.

"Oh Clema!" Lyra said in an elderly voice. "What a surprise to see you! When I received word that Shiro needed some more medicine, I expected Chiryuu to pick it up."

"The Master wanted us to do it." Clema explained smiling. She pointed to Naruto. "This is our friend Naruto."

"Nice to meet you." Lyra said smiling. Naruto smiled back and nodded. "Same here."

"Let me get you Shiro's medicine." Lyra said walking back through the door.

"Well she's nice." Naruto said.

"She is." Soria said. "Possibly the kindest person I know."

Clema smiled and they patiently waited. Lyra came back through the door with a jar of blue liquid.

"This should last him two months." Lyra explained handing the medicine to Soria. "Tell me, is he improving at all?"

"Not really." Clema said looking down. "It's a shame…"

"Yes." Lyra said quietly. She then smiled. "Would you like to stay here tonight and leave tomorrow? You traveled a long way."

Clema looked at Naruto and Soria. Their faces told her yes. She turned to Lyra and smiled. "That would be great, thank you."

"Wonderful." Lyra said. "You can use the guest rooms on the third floor."

Naruto, Soria, and Clema smiled.

"I had no idea, I'm so sorry." Sakura said covering her mouth with her hand. She was at Captain Karin's house, with a cup of tea.

"It's alright." Karin said taking a sip of her tea. "It was so unexpected, The Master dying…"

"And there was no body found?" Sakura asked a bit concerned.

"No, so there is a slight chance he could be alive." Karin explained. "But the explosion looked like it was inescapable."

A tear ran down Sakura's cheek. "How did the explosion happen?"

"We are trying to find out." Karin explained. She let out a small sigh. "We have no idea right now."

Sakura whipped the tear with her hand away. "Thanks for the tea. I should be returning to the Leaf Village."

Sakura got up and so did Karin. They exchanged goodbyes and Sakura exited.

Sakura entered the street, and it was sundown. The lights began to flicker on, shedding light onto the street. From the door, Sakura turned left and began walking. The streets were empty. "Excuse me, little lady."

Sakura stopped and turned around. The muscular man with spiky brown hair and red eyes smiled at her. "Can you tell me where I can find Captain Rose?"

Sakura had a confused look upon her face. "Yeah, she is being moved to the Royal Estate, by the Execution Grounds."

The man smiled. "Thank you little lady." The man began walking toward her, and when he passed her, Sakura felt frozen, and couldn't move. As he grew farther away, Sakura was able to move again. She shook her head, not being able to figure out what came over her. She took out her Soul Badge and was transported back to the Leaf Village.

Later on, it got very dark out, and the sky was star-less. The moon was even absent from the sky. Lyra was switching the Open sign to the Closed sign in front of the door. She turned to see Clema. Lyra jumped from being startled.

"Sorry I didn't mean to sneak up on you; I wanted to ask you a question before I go to sleep." Clema said smiling.

Lyra took a deep breath, and smiled. "Yes dear?"

"Well, did you so happen to see Captain Ishimaru?" Clema asked while looking away.

Lyra walked over to the counter. "Oh, the young captain with the silver hair?"

"Yes." Clema responded. "Has he been here at Limestone?"

"No dear, I'm sorry." Lyra said yawning. "Well, I'm going to sleep, an old women like me needs her beauty sleep. Goodnight dear."

Lyra opened the wooden door behind the counter and entered through it, and closed it after her. Clema stood there, in the empty waiting room, looking out the window. "Ishimaru…"

She opened the front door, and exited the building, quietly closing it behind her. She looked up at the sky and sighed. She began walking away, her destination was clear.
