Later that evening...
The whole group decided to turn in later that day. Void got most of the
information that she needed, and Li understood his dragon powers a
little better then before. They were getting tired so they decided to
turn in.
Chaos woke up suddenly, as a something was summoning him. He sighed.
"You sure pick the wrong times Lord Bahamut " he thought to himself. He
stretched as he proceeded outside the house, and into a dark ally.
"Took you long enough..." a voice said.
"Sorry..." Chaos apologized. "So, what brings you here, my lord."
"Well, I'm worried..." it said.
"About?" Chaos replied.
"You, of course." It said.
Chaos gasped surprisingly... "Why? You know I'll be fine..."
"You know that your in a no win situation right?" the voice replied.
Chaos stopped in his footsteps. He was speechless...
"Either you have to go or he has to go...and you know that right?"
"If it is her decision then I'll gladly go..." the dragon replied trying
to sound as brave as he could, but in reality he feared the worst.
"And if her decision is for you?" it asked.
"Then I will convince her otherwise." The dragon said dryly.
The other dragon chuckled darkly. "You know that there will come a time
where you can't protect everyone right?"
"I will think of something when the time comes." The dragon said
confidently.
"Remember I don't deny your intelligence, but intelligence and wisdom
are two different things. Listen to the voice experience Chaos, back
out while you still can..." The silver dragon said.
"Your concern will be noted, Lord Bahamut ..." Chaos said. "But this is
something I got to do...maybe it was because of past sins...maybe I'm just
trying do something right for once, maybe I'm just trying to find a
place for myself. I do not know...but mark my words, while I so long as I
draw breath, they will not be harmed."
"I hope you know what you are doing, Chaos...for your sake, you cannot
afford to die the second time." Bahamut replied.
There was another pause, Chaos stood there looking at the Dragon King,
holding his ground. "Thank you for your concern my Lord. If there isn't
anything else, I really need to get my rest...I have a lot to do."
"I wouldn't dream of holding you back much longer than I need too..." The
dragon said. "Wish you the best of luck, o Dragon of Chaos."
After that, Chaos left and went back to the house.
"What do you think, Lord Ladon?" Bahamut asked.
"He is gifted..." the Platinum Dragon replied.
"Yes, he is...I wonder if he saw though my act..." The Silver dragon
replied.
"I don't believe so, he might be smart, but he has a lot to learn."
Ladon said, letting out a sigh.
"You think his true abilities will be awakened?" Bahamut asked, letting
out a suggestive grin.
Ladon knew what that grin meant he smiled back... "With your reverse psychology tricks, what do you think?" as he broke out in laughter...
Soon both were engulfed in laughter.
Suddenly, Bahamut came about in a more serious tone "But the question
is...will it be enough?"
"Probably not, but we have to pray that our children will see the way
when the time comes." Ladon replied opening up a portal.
"Let us hope so my Lord..." Bahamut said as they both entered the portal.
* * *
Back at the house...
Chaos gently closed the door behind him, hoping not to disturb anyone
who was already asleep. He gasped as he saw Sakura awake right in front
of him.
"Where did YOU go at this hour?" Sakura asked firmly, looking straight
into the dragon's eyes.
"Uh...er..." Chaos stuttered. "Would you believe me if I told you I was
going on a stroll because I couldn't sleep?"
"Not really..." Sakura replied. "Actually, I wouldn't believe that at
all..."
"Huh?" Chaos said.
"You were talking to someone...I could tell, but I couldn't make out the
words." Sakura said.
"You followed me??" Chaos said angrily. "That wasn't very nice or
respectful."
"Excuse me for being a little paranoid, because someone here has a
record of being a traitor." She responded.
That hit a soft spot, "I was talking to Lord Bahamut the King of Dragons..." Chaos whispered with a hurt voice. Sakura gasped, wrong thing to say...that was a low blow, she thought to herself.
"I'm sorry, Chaos..." She began, "I just..."
"It's okay, your right you know? You have a right to follow me and know who I was talking to, well now you know." Chaos said.
"Still, I shouldn't dig up past mistakes, I don't like it when other people do it to me." Sakura responded.
"I'm fine..." Chaos forced a smile. "You should be resting...we have a lot to do in so little time."
"Tell me one thing, Chaos..." Sakura asked seriously.
"Yes..." The dragon asked.
"Are you going to betray us again?" Sakura asked quietly.
Chaos let out a real smile. "No, I swear it on that ring your wearing, I will not betray you this time."
"Now, let me ask you one question..." Chaos trailed.
"Go for it." She replied.
"Do you like that young dragon..." the dragon asked.
"AUGH!!!" She sighed quietly careful not to wake anyone up. "Is it THAT obvious? Does the whole world know now?"
Chaos chuckled. "Well, you know...you should really start doing something about that...before you live to regret it."
"What do you mean by that?" she said yawning.
"You understand when the time comes, I just pray that you choose wisely." Chaos said. "You should sleep, you can use the rest."
"AUGH!! Why do you have to talk in circles all the time??? It's driving me nuts!" Sakura yelled.
"Well...you have plenty time to figure it out." Chaos said, going back to his appointed room to get some sleep, leaving Sakura there.
Might as well go back to sleep myself, Sakura thought to herself. No use thinking about it when your tired.
* * *
The Next Day...
The group was back in the living room planning they're next move.
"Well...we'll do something different this time..." Void said.
"Touya, Yue I want you two to do a premises check...Tomoyo Eriol, you guys gather some food...Li, Sakura I need you two to do a search see if you guys can find a hideout or something since you two probably know this town the best. Chaos you're with me." Void said confidently.
"What about me?" Meiling said. "Can I go with Li and Sakura?"
Void gasped, she totally forgot about Meiling.
"Actually...I need you on an more job, something that only you can do..." Chaos came to the rescue, winking at Void.
"Really? Which is??" Meiling said excitingly.
Chaos whispered in her ear "This and that...you know..."
After that Meiling dashed out with a wide grin on her face.
"Thanks, Chaos...what did you tell her?" Void asked curiously.
"I told her that I had a cute friend in Hong Kong...and if she could kindly go fetch him for help." He said slyly.
"YOU SLY FOX!!!" Void said laughing. "Truly who is this "cute guy friend" of yours?"
"Well, I think you know him too...remember Rei?" Chaos said.
"The tiger guy? Yea, I remember him." Void said.
"His descendent, Lei is still around. We need all the help we can get." Chaos said.
"You are sly...but thank you, alrighty I think everyone has things to do, GO!" Void said.
They all left in a rush...Eriol was about to go out the door...
Void caught him... "Eriol, may I talk to you for a second?"
"Yes?" Eriol asked.
"I want you to..." Void whispered. After that, Eriol wore a big smile as he exited.
After everyone left, Chaos glanced over at his sister...
"And you calling me sly? You paired it like this on purpose sis!" Chaos said unable to hold his laughter any longer.
"Well, you know it just an excuse..." Void said slyly.
"What do you mean?" Chaos said suspiciously.
"Chaos, we seriously need to talk." Void said.
"Can't it wait sis? We have more important stuff to do." Chaos said.
"No, don't you understand, Chaos?" She said.
"Understand what?" Chaos replied quietly.
"AH! You can be so DENSE sometimes Chaos!" Void sighed in defeat. "You're the reason I'm like this, aren't you going to try to help?" She tried throw a hint him.
"Sorry, sis...I didn't know this would happen...but when I find a way, I will restore you to your former glory." He said embarrassed.
"I GIVE UP!!" Void shrieked. "Gosh, Chaos I don't know how you do it you can be a total genius yet be so stupid and dense at the same time. If your not going to say it I will!!"
"Wha?" Chaos said in protest as Void dragged Chaos a little closer.
"I love you, Chaos..." Void whispered in Chaos' ear.
* * *
Tomoyo and Eriol's food run...
Tomoyo and Eriol were in the local store looking for things that they can live on...this naturally was part of Tomoyo specialty. She was happily choosing the party's favorite food with Eriol not far behind...he never found food all that fascinating, but he knew why Void had asked him to go with Tomoyo...
"Tomoyo..." Eriol said slowly.
"Yes?" She responded.
"When your done, I need to talk to you about something important..." he said seriously, as he began walking through the door.
"HEY!! I can't carry all this by myself?? Can't you help me or something..." Tomoyo cried sweating.
"Uhh...yea sure..." Eriol said feeling kinda stupid.
So, after they paid for the stuff and left, Eriol pulled Tomoyo to the side...
"What's up, Eriol?" Tomoyo asked curiously.
"Well, the main reason Void paired me up with you is because I need to tell you about your clan and powers..." Eriol said in a matter of fact tone.
"My clan??" Tomoyo asked. "I thought I was human..."
"No...humans don't possess magical powers." Eriol started. "You are a descendent a clan called the grass runner clan."
Tomoyo couldn't believe her ears. Was none of the people she hung out with normal in any way? "How did we all get here then?"
"Well...fate works in weird ways doesn't it?" Eriol said smiling. "After all the years, they still manage to unite the angel and the dragon..." he trailed off. "Do you want me to tell you more of your powers and your history?"
"Yes, please..." Tomoyo whispered quietly.
* * *
Li, Sakura's search...
"Where do we look first?" Li asked.
"I don't know how about king penguin park." Sakura suggested... (The "spell" was still in effect therefore no one noticed Sakura's wings or anything.)
"Why there?" he asked.
"I dunno..." Sakura admitted "since almost everything bad happened there...but if you have a better idea..."
"Er...no I don't..." Li said blushing, she got you there real good he thought to himself.
So, the twosome proceeded on they're way to the park...
"Sakura?" Li suddenly piped up breaking the silence of the search.
"Yes, Li?" She asked.
"I just wanted to thank you for helping me when I was in that berserk dragon form, if it weren't for you..." He said turning bright red.
"Your welcome...I have to thank you too..." Sakura said softly.
"Huh?" Li replied, looking under a bench searching for clues.
"If it weren't for you I would probably be dying of a nasty spear wound." She replied, as she closely examined the sand in the sandbox seeing if anything was under it.
"Your welcome..." Li said sincerely "You changed a lot Sakura...after all this crazy stuff..."
"How so??" Sakura asked.
"You're a lot stronger Sakura..." Li admitted. "Stronger than I ever was or will be...and I don't mean in power."
Sakura turn red. "Thanks, but I would never have pulled through if it weren't for all of your support, everyone is protecting me...I..."
"You don't have to say anything, Sakura. You didn't force anyone in to this. We are all in because we want to not because you told us to."
"I know...but everyone is trying so hard, Tomoyo, Eriol, you, Void, Yue I even have to admit to some extent even Chaos and Touya. What if I can't live up to everyone expectations? What if I fail?" Tears started to form, as she couldn't hold them back.
"Sakura..." Li started. "Honestly, I don't see how we can fail." Trying to muster up all the support he can. "We got two of the best Wyndian mages, two of the most powerful dragon mages, Touya! Yue! Tomoyo! I don't see how we can still fail with that."
That cheered up Sakura a great deal. "Thank you, Li, but you forgot someone on that list..."
"Who?" Li asked dumbly. Sakura sweated. Gosh he can be so dense sometimes, sometimes? She thought to herself. Try most of the time.
"You, silly!" Sakura said chuckling. "You were always there for me, even when you knew you were overpowered, no matter what you were always so supportive."
"I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING!" Li suddenly yelled. Well, that ruined the mood Sakura thought. She sighed, and gently floated to the place where Li was.
She looked at the ground Li was looking at...it didn't look right, Sakura could feel a strong magical aura around it. Li tapped it slightly, a shield of some sort was protecting it.
"Hmm..." Li thought out loud. "Should we report back?" he asked.
"Yea, Void probably wants to know about this information," she said.
* * *
Touya, Yue side...
It was pretty eventless, but someone had to do it. Touya thought to himself, at least there was Yue to keep him company this time.
"Why do you think that Fujitaka turned on us?" Yue asked.
"I don't believe he did, Yue." Touya replied, keeping a close eye on everywhere he could see.
"Huh? I thought it was clear to you that he did." Yue responded, leaning lazily on a wall.
"Well...not really, if I know my father well, he always has a reason for doing things. This time it was probably to prove a point." Touya replied, eyeing suspiciously at a street corner.
"Let us hope that is true, or else he has a lot to answer for." Yue replied, as he also looked at the general direction where Touya was looking.
"Well, it seems that it will be the least of our worries...we got a lot more coming to us then that. I can feel it in my bones." Touya said pointing at something.
Yue looked at it more closely sure enough, they had company, Chaos was completely right about the enemy attack. "Well, shall we go back and report this?"
"Yes, and we better hurry...looks like they will be here any second, now." Touya replied as both retreated.
* * *
Back at the base... (a.k.a Sakura's house)
"Sis!!" Chaos yelled in protest. "Don't you think this is a little inappropriate?? You're my sister for crying out loud."
"We're not really related in any way remember?" Void said. "You only called me 'sister' because we were still young at that time."
"Uh...er..." Chaos turned red.
"You don't have to keep your feeling bottled up all the time you know?" Void said.
"I don't know, sis...is this really a good idea?" Chaos asked awkwardly.
"For Ladon's sake!! Do what your heart tells you for one would you?" Void said angrily.
"Mmy heeaartt?" Chaos stuttered. "Whaat doo you mean?"
"Just don't think about it, feel it Chaos, tell me how you feel right now..." Void said.
"I...I...can't describe how I feel right now...err...I need to get some fresh air." Chaos said in a hurry as he went out of the room.
Void sighed. "He's like a child..." She going to have to go slower then what she originally hoped for.
Suddenly, Sakura and Li rushed in... "REPORT!" They said in union.
"Yes?" Void said.
"We found the hideout it in the corner of Penguin Park." Li said.
"Very good." Void replied, why don't you to take a break after such hard work.
"Okay, thanks." Sakura said.
Void smiled. Then suddenly Yue and Touya came in, they hurried said "We spotted some enemies heading directly this way!"
Void gasped. "How many in number?" she asked.
"About twenty..." Yue said.
"Oh no..." Void whispered. "Sakura!"
"Yes??" She asked.
"Can you go look for Chaos for me? I think he ran to the backyard, tell him its urgent..."
"Yes ma'am." Sakura said, flying away.
"Everyone else prepare at the kitchen." She ordered firmly. "I have a bad feeling about this..."

Later that evening...
The whole group decided to turn in later that day. Void got most of the
information that she needed, and Li understood his dragon powers a
little better then before. They were getting tired so they decided to
turn in.
Chaos woke up suddenly, as a something was summoning him. He sighed.
"You sure pick the wrong times Lord Bahamut " he thought to himself. He
stretched as he proceeded outside the house, and into a dark ally.
"Took you long enough..." a voice said.
"Sorry..." Chaos apologized. "So, what brings you here, my lord."
"Well, I'm worried..." it said.
"About?" Chaos replied.
"You, of course." It said.
Chaos gasped surprisingly... "Why? You know I'll be fine..."
"You know that your in a no win situation right?" the voice replied.
Chaos stopped in his footsteps. He was speechless...
"Either you have to go or he has to go...and you know that right?"
"If it is her decision then I'll gladly go..." the dragon replied trying
to sound as brave as he could, but in reality he feared the worst.
"And if her decision is for you?" it asked.
"Then I will convince her otherwise." The dragon said dryly.
The other dragon chuckled darkly. "You know that there will come a time
where you can't protect everyone right?"
"I will think of something when the time comes." The dragon said
confidently.
"Remember I don't deny your intelligence, but intelligence and wisdom
are two different things. Listen to the voice experience Chaos, back
out while you still can..." The silver dragon said.
"Your concern will be noted, Lord Bahamut ..." Chaos said. "But this is
something I got to do...maybe it was because of past sins...maybe I'm just
trying do something right for once, maybe I'm just trying to find a
place for myself. I do not know...but mark my words, while I so long as I

"I hope you know what you are doing, Chaos...for your sake, you cannot

There was another pause, Chaos stood there looking at the Dragon King,
holding his ground. "Thank you for your concern my Lord. If there isn't
anything else, I really need to get my rest...I have a lot to do."
"I wouldn't dream of holding you back much longer than I need too..." The
dragon said. "Wish you the best of luck, o Dragon of Chaos."
After that, Chaos left and went back to the house.
"What do you think, Lord Ladon?" Bahamut asked.
"He is gifted..." the Platinum Dragon replied.
"Yes, he is...I wonder if he saw though my act..." The Silver dragon
replied.
"I don't believe so, he might be smart, but he has a lot to learn."
Ladon said, letting out a sigh.
"You think his true abilities will be awakened?" Bahamut asked, letting
out a suggestive grin.
Ladon knew what that grin meant he smiled back... "With your reverse psychology tricks, what do you think?" as he broke out in laughter...
Soon both were engulfed in laughter.
Suddenly, Bahamut came about in a more serious tone "But the question
is...will it be enough?"
"Probably not, but we have to pray that our children will see the way
when the time comes." Ladon replied opening up a portal.
"Let us hope so my Lord..." Bahamut said as they both entered the portal.

Back at the house...
Chaos gently closed the door behind him, hoping not to disturb anyone
who was already asleep. He gasped as he saw Sakura awake right in front
of him.
"Where did YOU go at this hour?" Sakura asked firmly, looking straight
into the dragon's eyes.
"Uh...er..." Chaos stuttered. "Would you believe me if I told you I was
going on a stroll because I couldn't sleep?"
"Not really..." Sakura replied. "Actually, I wouldn't believe that at
all..."
"Huh?" Chaos said.
"You were talking to someone...I could tell, but I couldn't make out the
words." Sakura said.
"You followed me??" Chaos said angrily. "That wasn't very nice or

"Excuse me for being a little paranoid, because someone here has a
record of being a traitor." She responded.
That hit a soft spot, "I was talking to Lord Bahamut the King of Dragons..." Chaos whispered with a hurt voice. Sakura gasped, wrong thing to say...that was a low blow, she thought to herself.
"I'm sorry, Chaos..." She began, "I just..."
"It's okay, your right you know? You have a right to follow me and know who I was talking to, well now you know." Chaos said.
"Still, I shouldn't dig up past mistakes, I don't like it when other people do it to me." Sakura responded.

"Are you going to betray us again?" Sakura asked quietly.
Chaos let out a real smile. "No, I swear it on that ring your wearing, I will not betray you this time."
"Now, let me ask you one question..." Chaos trailed.
"Go for it." She replied.
"Do you like that young dragon..." the dragon asked.
"AUGH!!!" She sighed quietly careful not to wake anyone up. "Is it THAT obvious? Does the whole world know now?"
Chaos chuckled. "Well, you know...you should really start doing something about that...before you live to regret it."

"Well...you have plenty time to figure it out." Chaos said, going back to his appointed room to get some sleep, leaving Sakura there.
Might as well go back to sleep myself, Sakura thought to herself. No use thinking about it when your tired.

The Next Day...
The group was back in the living room planning they're next move.
"Well...we'll do something different this time..." Void said.
"Touya, Yue I want you two to do a premises check...Tomoyo Eriol, you guys gather some food...Li, Sakura I need you two to do a search see if you guys can find a hideout or something since you two probably know this town the best. Chaos you're with me." Void said confidently.
"What about me?" Meiling said. "Can I go with Li and Sakura?"
Void gasped, she totally forgot about Meiling.
"Actually...I need you on an more job, something that only you can do..." Chaos came to the rescue, winking at Void.
"Really? Which is??" Meiling said excitingly.
Chaos whispered in her ear "This and that...you know..."
After that Meiling dashed out with a wide grin on her face.
"Thanks, Chaos...what did you tell her?" Void asked curiously.
"I told her that I had a cute friend in Hong Kong...and if she could kindly go fetch him for help." He said slyly.
"YOU SLY FOX!!!" Void said laughing. "Truly who is this "cute guy friend" of yours?"
"Well, I think you know him too...remember Rei?" Chaos said.
"The tiger guy? Yea, I remember him." Void said.
"His descendent, Lei is still around. We need all the help we can get." Chaos said.
"You are sly...but thank you, alrighty I think everyone has things to do, GO!" Void said.
They all left in a rush...Eriol was about to go out the door...
Void caught him... "Eriol, may I talk to you for a second?"
"Yes?" Eriol asked.
"I want you to..." Void whispered. After that, Eriol wore a big smile as he exited.
After everyone left, Chaos glanced over at his sister...
"And you calling me sly? You paired it like this on purpose sis!" Chaos said unable to hold his laughter any longer.
"Well, you know it just an excuse..." Void said slyly.
"What do you mean?" Chaos said suspiciously.
"Chaos, we seriously need to talk." Void said.
"Can't it wait sis? We have more important stuff to do." Chaos said.
"No, don't you understand, Chaos?" She said.
"Understand what?" Chaos replied quietly.
"AH! You can be so DENSE sometimes Chaos!" Void sighed in defeat. "You're the reason I'm like this, aren't you going to try to help?" She tried throw a hint him.
"Sorry, sis...I didn't know this would happen...but when I find a way, I will restore you to your former glory." He said embarrassed.
"I GIVE UP!!" Void shrieked. "Gosh, Chaos I don't know how you do it you can be a total genius yet be so stupid and dense at the same time. If your not going to say it I will!!"
"Wha?" Chaos said in protest as Void dragged Chaos a little closer.
"I love you, Chaos..." Void whispered in Chaos' ear.

Tomoyo and Eriol's food run...
Tomoyo and Eriol were in the local store looking for things that they can live on...this naturally was part of Tomoyo specialty. She was happily choosing the party's favorite food with Eriol not far behind...he never found food all that fascinating, but he knew why Void had asked him to go with Tomoyo...

"HEY!! I can't carry all this by myself?? Can't you help me or something..." Tomoyo cried sweating.
"Uhh...yea sure..." Eriol said feeling kinda stupid.
So, after they paid for the stuff and left, Eriol pulled Tomoyo to the side...
"What's up, Eriol?" Tomoyo asked curiously.
"Well, the main reason Void paired me up with you is because I need to tell you about your clan and powers..." Eriol said in a matter of fact tone.
"My clan??" Tomoyo asked. "I thought I was human..."
"No...humans don't possess magical powers." Eriol started. "You are a descendent a clan called the grass runner clan."
Tomoyo couldn't believe her ears. Was none of the people she hung out with normal in any way? "How did we all get here then?"
"Well...fate works in weird ways doesn't it?" Eriol said smiling. "After all the years, they still manage to unite the angel and the dragon..." he trailed off. "Do you want me to tell you more of your powers and your history?"
"Yes, please..." Tomoyo whispered quietly.

Li, Sakura's search...
"Where do we look first?" Li asked.
"I don't know how about king penguin park." Sakura suggested... (The "spell" was still in effect therefore no one noticed Sakura's wings or anything.)
"Why there?" he asked.
"I dunno..." Sakura admitted "since almost everything bad happened there...but if you have a better idea..."
"Er...no I don't..." Li said blushing, she got you there real good he thought to himself.

"If it weren't for you I would probably be dying of a nasty spear wound." She replied, as she closely examined the sand in the sandbox seeing if anything was under it.
"Your welcome..." Li said sincerely "You changed a lot Sakura...after all this crazy stuff..."
"How so??" Sakura asked.
"You're a lot stronger Sakura..." Li admitted. "Stronger than I ever was or will be...and I don't mean in power."
Sakura turn red. "Thanks, but I would never have pulled through if it weren't for all of your support, everyone is protecting me...I..."
"You don't have to say anything, Sakura. You didn't force anyone in to this. We are all in because we want to not because you told us to."
"I know...but everyone is trying so hard, Tomoyo, Eriol, you, Void, Yue I even have to admit to some extent even Chaos and Touya. What if I can't live up to everyone expectations? What if I fail?" Tears started to form, as she couldn't hold them back.
"Sakura..." Li started. "Honestly, I don't see how we can fail." Trying to muster up all the support he can. "We got two of the best Wyndian mages, two of the most powerful dragon mages, Touya! Yue! Tomoyo! I don't see how we can still fail with that."
That cheered up Sakura a great deal. "Thank you, Li, but you forgot someone on that list..."
"Who?" Li asked dumbly. Sakura sweated. Gosh he can be so dense sometimes, sometimes? She thought to herself. Try most of the time.
"You, silly!" Sakura said chuckling. "You were always there for me, even when you knew you were overpowered, no matter what you were always so supportive."
"I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING!" Li suddenly yelled. Well, that ruined the mood Sakura thought. She sighed, and gently floated to the place where Li was.
She looked at the ground Li was looking at...it didn't look right, Sakura could feel a strong magical aura around it. Li tapped it slightly, a shield of some sort was protecting it.
"Hmm..." Li thought out loud. "Should we report back?" he asked.
"Yea, Void probably wants to know about this information," she said.
* * *
Touya, Yue side...
It was pretty eventless, but someone had to do it. Touya thought to himself, at least there was Yue to keep him company this time.
"Why do you think that Fujitaka turned on us?" Yue asked.
"I don't believe he did, Yue." Touya replied, keeping a close eye on everywhere he could see.
"Huh? I thought it was clear to you that he did." Yue responded, leaning lazily on a wall.
"Well...not really, if I know my father well, he always has a reason for doing things. This time it was probably to prove a point." Touya replied, eyeing suspiciously at a street corner.
"Let us hope that is true, or else he has a lot to answer for." Yue replied, as he also looked at the general direction where Touya was looking.
"Well, it seems that it will be the least of our worries...we got a lot more coming to us then that. I can feel it in my bones." Touya said pointing at something.
Yue looked at it more closely sure enough, they had company, Chaos was completely right about the enemy attack. "Well, shall we go back and report this?"
"Yes, and we better hurry...looks like they will be here any second, now." Touya replied as both retreated.

Back at the base... (a.k.a Sakura's house)
"Sis!!" Chaos yelled in protest. "Don't you think this is a little inappropriate?? You're my sister for crying out loud."
"We're not really related in any way remember?" Void said. "You only called me 'sister' because we were still young at that time."
"Uh...er..." Chaos turned red.
"You don't have to keep your feeling bottled up all the time you know?" Void said.
"I don't know, sis...is this really a good idea?" Chaos asked awkwardly.
"For Ladon's sake!! Do what your heart tells you for one would you?" Void said angrily.
"Mmy heeaartt?" Chaos stuttered. "Whaat doo you mean?"
"Just don't think about it, feel it Chaos, tell me how you feel right now..." Void said.
"I...I...can't describe how I feel right now...err...I need to get some fresh air." Chaos said in a hurry as he went out of the room.
Void sighed. "He's like a child..." She going to have to go slower then what she originally hoped for.
Suddenly, Sakura and Li rushed in... "REPORT!" They said in union.
"Yes?" Void said.
"We found the hideout it in the corner of Penguin Park." Li said.
"Very good." Void replied, why don't you to take a break after such hard work.
"Okay, thanks." Sakura said.
Void smiled. Then suddenly Yue and Touya came in, they hurried said "We spotted some enemies heading directly this way!"
Void gasped. "How many in number?" she asked.
"About twenty..." Yue said.
"Oh no..." Void whispered. "Sakura!"
"Yes??" She asked.
"Can you go look for Chaos for me? I think he ran to the backyard, tell him its urgent..."
"Yes ma'am." Sakura said, flying away.
"Everyone else prepare at the kitchen." She ordered firmly. "I have a bad feeling about this..."
