Liss: Hi! A special thank you to all those people who reviewed my stories and have been waiting for this update. Now, onto the story! Oh, and while you nice folks graciously read, please do not pay any attention to the screams coming from the back room. Now, how's my little patient?
Nakago: Oh, shit, not you again!
Liss: Oh, yes, that's right, Nakago. I'll be the only person you'll be seeing for a long time. *evil grin* Mwahahahahaha!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The journey continued on as normal. The next day, Shula saw Fjina give her first smile to a man in 12 years. Shula mentally sighed. It was so romantic! She quickly glimpsed at Tikido, but he turned his head quickly and busied himself with the horses.
Every night, as the group got ready for bed, Tashiro and Fjina would sneak away. Shula kept their secret, even though they didn't even know she knew. But, in reality, they were pretty obvious. But as each day passed, they became little concerned if they were noticed. They didn't care. Why should they? They were in love, after all! But Shula found herself staring at them everyday, and the more she stared, the more she felt lonely.
Shula wanted someone to love her. She wanted to be held, or at least have someone with her. She missed Lynne more and more each day.
One night, after the whole camp fell asleep, Shula couldn't bear it any longer. She let it all out, the tears coming down in full rivers. She cried until her heart's content, then fell asleep. The next night, she did the same thing. But little did she know that someone was listening to her.
One night, just as Shula was drying her tears, she heard a voice. "What's wrong?" Shula spun around. She gasped at the person, totally embarrassed.
"N-Nothing."
"Doesn't sound like nothing. Mind if I sit down?" Tikido asked. Shula shook her head. Tikido crawled into her tent and sat down in front of her.
"Listen, I know it's none of my business, but I've heard you doing this for the third time. What's wrong?" Silence.
"Please tell me." His eyes were so concerned. Shula couldn't hold it in.
"It's just that, I miss my sister," she said slowly. Tikido looked a little relieved.
"Is that all? Well, I know you can get homesick, but when we reach the oracle, she'll help you get back to your world. You can see your family and friends again!" he said with a smile on his face.
"No. You don't understand." Tikido's smile slowly faded, and his eyes became questioning again.
"She's, she's dead. She's gone," Shula said, her voice a shaking. "She was my best friend. I loved her. And then she died, all because of me."
"What do you mean, all because of you?"
"She died saving my life. I-I was caught in the train tracks and she pushed me out. Then she got stuck, too, and the train, and the noise and her screams-" Shula broke off, unable to finish her sentence. Tikido pulled her into a hug.
Shula sat there, just sobbing in his arms. When she had calmed down, he asked her, "So, was it your older or younger sister?"
"Actually," Shula said, wiping her face, "she was my twin." Tikido's grew more concerned. He couldn't imagine life without his older twin.
"She would gloat all the time about how she was an hour older than me," Shula said, laughing a little.
"Tashiro, too. He can't stop bugging me!" Tikido joked, too. "Well, I'd better go. But you know, the pain will go away. Hopefully, you will find someone who will take your mind off of it.." He trailed off. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."

The group had been hiking for almost 2 weeks. They were tired and were running out of provisions, when they came to a small village. How very convenient! The group decided to stay at the village for a few days, and then headed out.
When informed about where they were going, the townspeople warned them, "It is not safe in the woods. There are magical creatures, and all kinds of enemies that you couldn't even imagine. I know that you have been hiking for many weeks, but please, take our advice, and go around the forest. Though it will take many more days, it is safer."
"Ah, what are you talking about? I can handle anything!" Tashiro commented. (see how he takes after Tasuki?) The townspeople looked worried and hurried away.
"Forget 'em. Should we get started?" Tashiro said, saddling his horse. The gang looked worried, too, but followed him into the dense wood and were soon enveloped in the darkness.

Liss: I know that was short, but see, I actually didn't know that I hadn't posted this chapter! I always do that! So I had to edit this chapter, plus I have a huge poster project due soon and it's a major part of my grade. It's so annoying! So I haven't had lots of time. But I hope to update soon!
