The next few days passed by silently, Tennyo and Kie barely spoke and could not bother with a sentence is a word could do the job. They met a strange bartender in the lobby who kept telling them to stay away from Kamikaze....wherever that was....but other than that nothing out of the normal had happened at all apart form them being in a possible alternate dimension and having nothing else to think about.

That night, Tennyo snuck out. She was dressed in her usual black attire. It had scared of some of the other people checking into the hotel ,encouraged some 'tut tut tuts' and scared of some smaller children....it was strangely pleasing though not to mention satisfying....if she couldn't aggravate Kie then she would bug others. Plus seeing all of these people, bubbling with happiness in bright coloured clothing that would have out- shined the sun made her sick.

She walked slowly down the street when she saw someone dressed too, in all black. From the shape of the figure she deuced that it was a male, well-built, and around her age. She tried to get a closer look of the figure and realised that he too, was trying to figure out who she was. Dark- Brown eyes met dark-brown eyes for a moment before she realised it was Kie! What was he doing here? He was trying to look for information on this kamikaze place too, was he? Or was he actually falling into the trap and going to it???

"So...decided to go looking for information on Kamikaze as well?" he asked, his tone not indicating any emotion but a hint of amusement.

Tennyo muttered under her breath in a foreign language. This piqued his curiosity...

"What did you just say?" He asked.

"Just a Chinese proverb" she smiled sweetly remembering her mother telling her it.

"Mind sharing?" Kie replied taking in her rare calm and relaxed expression.

Strangely, Tennyo found that she didn't mind.

"It's about this silly man who buried his fortune in a little mound of soil. He put a little note beside it that said 'there is no gold buried under this mound' thinking that no one would find it. The next day he went to check on his gold. It was gone and where his note had been, a new one was placed. It read 'your neighbour, Chang, did not take your gold."

Kie burst out laughing. "All of that was said in that little mutter?" he asked after recovering from the unexpected burst.

Tennyo blushed. "Yeah...it's an interesting language, Cantonese, some phrases take books to explain a word, yet some phrases take a word to explain a book."

Kie looked thoughtful for a moment as this message sunk in. "And how did that relate to Kamikaze?" he said, once again curious.

"Oh...well...the bartender couldn't have been more blatant could he? I mean.... he told us NOT to go there, when it's simple human psychology that that's exactly where we could go." She laughed.

"But then he was trying to lure us in with that stupid reverse psychology...he could have been a bit less obvious about it though.", Kie agreed readily.

Silence soon enveloped them and the only thing that could be heard was the cold wind rustling around dark alleyways. It was as if they had just remembered that they hated each other and they stiffened.

Kie decided that he would have to put forward the truce if she wasn't going to. "Look, Tennyo, there isn't a point of pretending anymore. We're in a dangerous situation. Two kids, in the middle of no where with no information whatsoever."

Tennyo however was not going to be stirred at all. If he wanted blatant, he would get it.

"You know why we're here don't you? I suppose we both do." Kie sighed in surrender, "When did you figure it out?"

"Yesterday morning" she explained. "I've known they were seeking child soldiers forever; only the ones that have the least flaw."

Kie continued "Did you get the tests too? At school?"

"Yeah....Dr. Rayn...always asking questions about why I wasn't happy. Of course I pretended to be a giggling little prat...but it didn't fool him. He installed cameras instead. He got me on tape in action. He has the proof. Now he's been given permission to hunt me down I guess. How about you?" Tennyo felt as if the barrier had been broken and waited for Kie's answer.

"The third day here. They had been hunting me down for ages before that. I wasn't that secret about my traits was I?" He chuckled in spite of himself before adding, "I always thought you were on their list too. I always wanted to ask."

"Ah well...The bugs always stopped me from talking to much anyway. I washed all my clothes before coming here. How about you?"

"One step ahead of you; I just sprayed myself." Kie said amused by her concern. "Sprayed?" Tennyo was puzzled.

"Yup don't you know that bug spray is also dangerous to micro chip bugs? The high chemical content destroys them instantly. I have an extra bottle if you want." Kie was surprised by his own generosity.

"Uh...alright." replied Tennyo, surprised from the offer.

They walked back to the hotel after that, forgetting wholly about Kamikaze.
