I'm back and I'm doing my best to update. I'm having trouble with the next chapter of Premonition, so that one will take longer to get out, not to mention it looks really REALLY scary outside right now, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done of anything today. Well, I'm hoping for the best, and here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoids, but I do own any characters that I make up and I own this fic.

The Blitz team members were all together again and were still wandering around the area where the street sale was, stopping at more places and glancing around. Nobody really planned on buying anything, since there wasn't really that much there. They just kept walking, looking for anything that interested them. Bit was walking the furthest in front and Lance was the furthest back. He seemed to be occupied with something and would glance over his shoulder continuously. They all stopped as their attention was drawn by a huge crowd that seemed to be awe stricken by something. They walked over to the area and found out that it was another street performance. There was music playing and people dancing. They decided to stay and watch, since they didn't have anything else to do right now. Lance stood near them, but he wasn't paying attention to the performance. He then tapped Bit on the shoulder, who instantly turned around.

"What is it?" asked Bit.

"Come on," he said as he began walking away.

"Wha...? Wait," said Bit as he ran up next to Lance. "Where are we going?"

"Be quiet."

"Why? What's this about?"

"Keep your voice down." He then quickly glanced behind and then picked his pace up a little.

"What's wrong?"

"There's someone following us." Bit began to turn to look. "Don't do that or you'll give us away." Bit quickly turned back to face the road, and then glanced out of the corner of his eye. There was someone following them. Whoever they were, they were wearing a dark gray cloak so that they wouldn't be seen.

"How long has he been following us?" asked Bit.

"For a while now. Since we left the first street performance."

"What should we do?"

"We'll try to loose him. Pick up the pace a little."

"Shouldn't we tell the others?"

"Too late for that. Come on." They took a corner and then quickly ran into a nearby alley, making sure that their follower hadn't seen them. The buildings with the alley in between were small, so the person who was following would probably keep walking, thinking they had taken a turn at the next corner and stayed on the street. They both stayed against the wall and watched. Surely enough, the cloaked person walked right past the clearing.

"Come on," said Lance. He and Bit ran out of the alley, but they did so a little too early, since their follower hadn't made it around the corner yet. The cloaked person quickly turned around and began running after them.

"This is just great," said Bit, a little irritated. "This was supposed to be a vacation!"

"Quit whining and just run! We have to loose him somehow."

"Any ideas?"

"We can loose him at this next corner. We'll just go in the alley."

"What if he already knows about our plan? We already tried this, so he probably knows what we'll do."

"We have to do it anyway. It's our only hope right now. I just wish I knew who that was and what they wanted." They were approaching the corner and soon they turned it, going into the alley. Like before, they saw the cloaked person run by without stopping. They both sighed, relieved that they had made it. Lance looked around the corner and the cloaked person was just standing there, their back turned, while looking around.

"I'm gonna find out who that is," he said.

"I'll help," replied Bit. They both quickly ran out of the alley and grabbed the cloaked person from behind, who was now squirming and doing whatever it took to try and get free. They dragged the cloaked person into the alley, doing their best to keep the person under control.

"Alright, now I'd like to see just who you are," said Bit. Their follower was actually sort of short now that they were up close.

"Let go of me!" yelled the cloaked person. Lance pulled down the hood so that they could see who it was.

"It's a girl," said Bit, a little shocked. She had long, wavy blue hair that was up in pigtails and dark blue eyes. She didn't seem pleased at all.

"That's right, now let me go!" she screamed. She managed to pull away from them. She turned around to face them again and took up a fighting stance. 'What's this girl's problem?' thought Bit. She looked maybe 14 years old at the most.

"Kahimi?" questioned Lance. Bit looked to him and then the girl, who now looked a little shocked. She dropped her stance and looked to him and then smiled.

"Lance? Oh, it is you!" she said happily. She quickly ran up and hugged him.

"Please, don't do that," he said. She let go and then looked at the both of them.

"Do you know her or something?" asked Bit. Lance just sighed.

"Yeah. She's my sister," he answered.

"You have a sister?"

"Isn't that what I just said?" He then looked at Kahimi. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I was sent to follow him," she said as she pointed to Bit. "He is the pilot of the Liger Zero, right?" Lance just smacked his forehead with his hand.

"Do you even know his name?" asked Lance.

"Well, no."

"Who told you to find me?" asked Bit. She looked to him while answering.

"The people from New Hope, but mainly Clark." She then looked back to Lance. "They told me if I could find him, I'd probably find you too, so I went."

"Why did they ask you to follow me?" asked Bit. Kahimi just shrugged.

"I don't know. They didn't even mention your name or anything, but they seemed sort of scared to talk about it, so I didn't ask questions."

"Oh..." said Bit. He seemed to think about this, and then quickly seemed to get panicked. "Oh no, I just thought of something."

"What is it now?" asked Lance.

"We didn't tell the others where we were going. They're gonna be mad. Not to mention we promised Doc that we'd all meet up for lunch."

"Well then, let's go Bit," said Lance. They both began to start walking out of the alley.

"Did you say Bit?" asked Kahimi. They both stopped and looked to her.

"Yeah," responded Lance.

"So he's Bit? Bit Cloud?"

"Yeah, that's me," said Bit. Kahimi smiled.

"It's been such a long time Bit. How've you been?"

"Um, do I know you or something?"

"You don't remember?"

"I don't remember anything."

"You'll have to bare with us," said Lance. "Bit is trying to recover his memory right now, so he doesn't remember you."

"How disappointing," said Kahimi.

"Why don't you join us for lunch," offered Bit. Kahimi smiled.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Lance.

"Hey!" yelled Kahimi.

"Of course. We can't just leave her here, can we?" asked Bit.

"We sure can," said Lance.

"I'll remember that," said Kahimi angrily. The three of them walked back towards the street sale to find the others.

"Where are they?" questioned Leena. Brad, Jamie, and Leena were walking around looking for Lance and Bit who had run off without telling them where they were going.

"There they are!" shouted Jamie. They all looked to where he was pointing and saw Bit, Lance and Kahimi walking towards them. Kahimi was smiling while Lance looked annoyed and Bit was grinning about something.

"Bit!" said Leena as they all ran up to them. "Where have you two been? We've been looking everywhere."

"Sorry," apologized Bit. Leena looked to Kahimi who was standing next to Lance.

"Who's she?" asked Leena.

"Oh, this is Kahimi. She's Lance's sister," explained Bit.

"Hi," said Kahimi. She extended a hand towards Leena. "Like he said, I'm Kahimi. What's your name?"

"I'm Leena." She extended her hand as well and they shook, both of them smiling. They dropped hands and then Leena looked to Lance. "How come you didn't tell us you had a sister?"

"It's not something I'm proud of. Hey Leena, you want a sister? You can have her if you want," replied Lance.

"Hey!" yelled Kahimi. She gave him a death glare. Everyone else just laughed.

"We should probably find Doc. We did promise to meet him for lunch," said Jamie.

"Yeah. We should get going," said Brad.

"Hey, who are you two?" asked Kahimi, looking towards Brad and Jamie.

"Oh, I'm Jamie and that's Brad."

"Let's get going," said Lance. They were already walking off.

"Hey, wait up!" yelled Kahimi. She caught up with the group and they headed off to go meet Doc for lunch.

Well, another chapter done. I'm trying to make these short enough, but also long enough so that no one complains. Sorry I haven't written this for a while, but I've been sorta busy. Between my computer breaking and the new anime my uncle got, I haven't been writing that much. He got Initial D and I've been watching it with him. He imported it from Hong Kong, so it's all subtitled. He said that we were lucky it was even subtitled since no one in America has bought the rights to it yet, but if someone has and you know about it, pleaz tell me. Anyway, it's a great series and I highly recommend it, especially if you like car racing. Well, gotta go. Audi^.^
