Authors note: Hey people. Im at my best friends house typing this right
now, so I probably won't be able to make the chapter very long... but I'll
try my best. I'm really surprised none of you figured out my
riddle/poem... (HINT: try and think of what the poem could be possible
describing... and Dark Salamander, your close, but not quite right...) The
answer is right there, and you all already know where it is. Anyways, good-
luck with the riddle, and if you think you've figured it out, e-mail me and
maybe Ill give you a little surprise!
CHAPTER 5
"Did you find anything?" Bit asked Tyra. The two days of searching had gone by fast, and his group hand managed to find nothing important. His group had decided to search salt city while they waited for Izumi's group. Tyra and Bit had finished their rounds, and where waiting for Leon.
"A shopkeeper saw her. Se was buying some food, but that's it... he didn't know which way she went." Tyra said, " She was here about a week ago."
"And nobody else saw her?" Bit asked.
"There was a little kid that mentioned seeing a girl with really long silver hair." Leon said, walking up to the two, "And Izumi's group is almost here, I saw their zoids coming this way."
"Ok... maybe they found something," Bit said, "Lets go meet them at the city gate."
********************************
"Sir... we have reports of some one searching for the girl."
"Really, who?"
"Various people from various teams sir."
"That could be a problem couldn't it?"
"What do you want us to do sir?"
"The same thing that you have been doing... get me the final piece!"
"Yes sir."
*********************************
Within the past two days, Rain and Rei had managed to separate the main parts that they needed,from the ones they didn't. Rain had drawn up the plans for her new zoid, and they where ready to begin.
"You know Rei, this is going to take a while with just the two of us..." Rain called up to Rei, who was standing in a control box for one of the many machines in his hanger.
"Yeah, but if we work continually, it shouldn't take more than..." He thought for a second, "Probably a month or so since I have all the equipment we need. Plus we have all the time we need, so what's the rush? Don't wanna do a bad job on the zoid after all."
"Yeah, I guess your right," Rain called. Within the past couple of days she had managed to drop a bit of her suspicion about Rei, because she had gotten to know him better... but there was still that slight feeling that he was doing all of this for a reason, and not only out of kindness. She climbed up a ladder and onto a platform, so that she could see most of the hanger.
"You ready?" Rei asked.
"Yeah."
*********************************
The group was sitting at a small table outside a cafe. They had eaten lunch, and where discussing what they had discovered.
"Some little boy here talked to a girl with long silver hair," Leon stated, "About a week ago. He told me that he had lost his ball, and she had gotten it back for him... then she left with a bag of food."
"Anything else?" Izumi asked.
"She was heading east." Leon answered.
Tyra pulled a small map out of her back pocket and opened it, placing it on the table. She pointed to Salt City and said, "This is where we are... If we traveled east..." She traced her finger east, "The next city would be Noonridge."
"So that's where we'll go." Izumi stated, "But we should probably split into two groups again, because," She took the map from Tyra, "According to this, there is another city east and slightly north of here named Duskton"
"Right." Bit nodded, "Noonridge is only about a day and a half away from here. So once again, we'll meet there in two days. Izumi you guy's go to Duskton ok?"
Izumi nodded as her group got up to leave. Bit's group soon followed.

Ryuji made his way through the Blitz base and into the computer room, where Orihime had been spending the last few days, trying to figure out the poem, "Hi Ori."
"Hi Ryuji. What's up?" Orihime asked.
"Im gonna help you guy's search of course..." He answered, "just tell me what you need me to do."
Orihime sighed, "We can't do anything until we get a general area that the system could be hidden in, and this poem tells us I know it! If only I could figure it out..."
"Let me see it..." Ryuji stated. He read it over, then thought for what must have been forever, "Well... hmmm, well, is probably describing something that's eyes are always open. And maybe with wings... I dunno."
Ori shrugged, "But it says; The dreams that are ever present are the wings that guide the night... I makes it seem like the the object isn't real, just something people dream of, or imagine."
"Well until you need me, I'll be at the shop," Ryuji said with a shrug, "I'll start asking customers if any of them have seen Rain too... after all, I get people from all over."
"Ok, I'll call if anything has comes up."
"Right. See ya." Ryuji waved good-bye and left, leaving Orihime to the difficult riddle. If only she knew just how long it would take her to solve it.
****************************
Rain sighed and got out of bed. It had been two days since they had started working... and they had only stopped to eat and sleep. Of course, the zoid didn't look like much yet... but in time, it would take on a more definite shape. She dressed herself and brushed her hair, ready to start a new day of work.
She went out to breakfast, waiting for Rei to finish cooking. He did, then they began to eat.
"So Rain... whatcha gonna name it?" Rei asked, stuffing some beacon into his mouth.
"Hmm?"
He swallowed, "The zoid, whatcha gonna name it?"
"Oh... I thought I would wait till it was finished to see." Rain answered.
Rei nodded as he finished his breakfast and did the dishes, the two then went out to the hanger to work on the zoid.
****************************
Tyra and the others had split up to search Noonridge, She walked into a small park, and saw a person standing all alone by a sakura tree. Deciding he was as good as any to ask, she walked up to him.
The person was wearing a pitch black cloak that hid his face, and he leaned on a cane. By his posture he looked young, not old like most who used a cane, but just injured or handicapped.
"Um excuse me..." Tyra said, looking at this mysterious man, "May I ask you something?"
The man looked at her, his face still hidden by the cloak, and nodded.
"Have you seen this girl anywhere?" She handed him a picture. He took it, and observed it. He seemed to stare at it for a long time, then nodded.
"Really where?"
He cleared his thought, "I saw her a while back... I know your searching for her, but I do not think you should worry too much..."
Tyra listened intently, a strong nagging feeling in the back of her head that this voice sounded somewhat familiar... but she did not know where.
"I have a very strong feeling that she is safe."
The strange man turned to walk away, leaving Tyra behind. The man sent a chill down her spine, giving her the shivers... he seemed to answer like he was so sure... like he knew. She shrugged off her weird feeling and began to follow the man. She was at least 30 feet behind him when he turned down a dark ally. She sped up and followed, turning the corner and finding a dead end... but the man wasn't there... he was gone.
