"Where is she?!"
"We do not know... we left her there to die thinking she was only another child of the ritual, how were we to know that she was the chosen one?!"
"Our lord will be furious... just find out if she is dead... if she is then we will have to provide a substitute."
"Someone that he will accept... we will go find her." ~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*
At hospital
"So why is it that you need that flight?"
"There are some things there that might cure Bikky but it might take some time... I don't know if we have enough time though."
"How about the stuff at the lab?"
"I brought it along with me but it will only work for about 3 days and I don't know if it will take longer then that."
"Go... we will give him this and then we will see from there on what will happen."
"... I'm sorry..."
Ryo rested his hand on her shoulder saying that she did enough.
"What I'm worried about though is if you have a place to stay."
"..."
"You don't have a place do you?"
"I'm friends with some people here but it's been a while since I've seen them. I think they think I'm dead."
"Then, just do this. Stay at my place."
"But..."
"No buts, you are an important part of this case. We need you, you can't help us if you are dead."

No POV- Dee's place

"If you want you can sleep in one of the guest rooms."
"No, I actually want to sleep on the couch... to me that's more comfortable."
Dee shrugged.
"All right, you are the guest."
"Hopefully not for long. Where's Ryo?"
"Still at hospital. He said he would call when he finds out how Bikky is doing."
"All right. Well going to go change and... yeah."
She walked away while Dee went to his room. While Sakura was changing she noticed that her injured arms were not throbbing anymore. She sighed. Even though she has found some people to take care of her, she still felt so lonely. Eric was gone and she didn't want to go back to her so called home. She shuddered at the thought of going back.
"Never again." She muttered.
On the couch she pulled the sheets over her head to go to sleep but the images wouldn't go away.

Dee tried to wake her up but to no avail. He sighed.
"Isn't she going to be late for the flight if she isn't awake by now?" asked Ryo.
"No, we still have a couple of hours."
"Do you still have to go with her?"
"Yes, Ryo I do. Rose is coming to. We have to make sure that while she's there she won't get killed."
"I'm going to miss you here."
Dee turned to face him.
"Just make sure you watch over Bikky."
Ryo nodded but in his head he still worried.
"Call me when you get there all right?"
Dee nodded and gently kissed Ryo.
"Don't worry. Everything will be alright."
Dee shook Sakura.
"Sakura!!!! Get up!!!!"
"I'm up you fool. Stop yelling in my ear!"
Sakura was able to get off the couch and realized that she had to change in order to leave the house
"How much longer until flight?"
"About 3 hours."
"Fun.... Wait whose going?"
"Me, and Rose."
Sakura turned to face him.
"No, no you can't go."
"What why not?!"
"You have people who love you here. If you get killed there then I have to come home in order to tell Ryo that you died!!!! I will not have that burden on me!!!"
Dee was stunned but he still shook his head and he said that he was still going. Rose came 30 minutes later into a room that was filled with Dee and Sakura yelling at each other. Ryo was on the couch looking concerned but amused at the same time.
"What the hell is going on here??!!"
When Sakura heard Rose she stopped but continued to glare at Dee. He made sure he was an arms length away from her.
"He can't go!"
Rose raised an eyebrow.
"And why not?"
"If he dies then things will get worse for me here."
"Dee is capable to protecting himself. There is no need to worry. It also seems that Drake is coming to."
"What? I don't even know him and he's coming?"
"Yes, and there is nothing you can do about it. Dee, Drake, and me are coming."
"Dammit."
Sakura turned away to get changed. Rose stared after her.
"So what exactly are we doing there?"
"I have no idea. I thought she would tell you since she stayed her for the night."
"Nope, not a word,"
"Well it has to be something dangerous if she doesn't want you to go."
"She mentioned being killed.... Maybe I shouldn't go after all."
"You are coming no matter what." Rose turned to Ryo. "How is Bikky?"
"He's doing ok. The little bit of antidote is working a little. He's getting a little better but not enough that he can be taken out of intense care."
Rose nodded. Sakura walked out still fuming but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it.
"You will eventually tell us why we are going aren't you?"
"I will when we get there."
Dee narrowed his eyes not really trusting her response. Sakura only looked at him blankly.
"I warned you. You can get hurt."
"Dee..."
"Ryo, I'm still going."
"The flight is soon. Lets leave."
Rose followed Sakura when she left. Dee hung back a little to comfort Ryo.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go. Please, look over Bikky for me and stay out of trouble here. My cell phone will always be on and so is Rose. Call me if you are in trouble."
Ryo nodded. Dee to join the others fretting over if he should go or not but he made his decision. He had to go to save Bikky.
On the plane Sakura thought over her plane step by step so that she didn't miss a little detail.
"It has to work..."
She tried to sleep through the flight but her mind was filled with to many thoughts. She then felt eyes' staring at her but only thought it was Rose or Dee so she ignored it but the feeling was too strong to be either of them. She turned around but she didn't see anybody. Dee next to her was asleep and Rose, behind was doing something that she didn't know about. She shifted to her left side so that she was facing Dee. Her back was to the window, she was grateful for that. There was a third person that was a little boy but he was asleep as well. The little boy looked to be about 8. The same age as Eric... Sakura looked away to stare at Dee. He shifted but not so much that she wasn't able to see his face. As she stared at him she saw something sparkle under his shirt. She moved so that the sun was totally on it. It was a necklace that held a dove charm. There was something inscribed on it but she didn't need to read it to know what it said. She moved again so that the sun didn't reflect on it. She started to shake.
"That necklace... no."
She buried her head into her hands, holding back the tears that were about to overwhelm her. The memories were too much she couldn't push them out of her mind. She felt a shift at her right. When she looked up, she saw Dee looking at her with... concern.
"You all right?'
She shook her head.
"What happened?"
Dee sat up straighter as he watched her. Sakura couldn't trust her voice so she motioned it with her hands. She pointed to her neck and held her own cross necklace, then pointed to him. Dee pulled the necklace from inside his shirt.
"This?"
She cringed when she saw it but nodded her head.
"What?"
He put it back into his shirt when he saw that the necklace was making her draw away from him.
"Where did you get it?"
"At an adoption center that I was at before... why?"
"That place doesn't exist anymore..."
"Of course, it was torn down."
She shook her head.
"No, it wasn't torn down, someone planted a bomb in it and it killed the people inside."
Dee froze.
"Everyone?"
She nodded.
"I'm sorry, I was there and I couldn't stop it."
"You were there?!"
"The people who blew it up were... friends of my brother."
"Brother... as in older brother?"
She glared at him.
"Who else? Eric would never do anything like that!"
Dee just nodded his head, not at all surprised by her tone of voice. His mind was currently on the fact that the people who called him told him that it was torn down... were they trying to spare his feelings or was it so that he wouldn't get in the way? The pilot came on the intercom and told everyone to buckle up; they are going to be landing soon. The people rummaged around to get ready for the landing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No POV

At the airport Dee called Ryo to tell him that they were there. Sakura was with Rose looking over his shoulder as he consulted the police of Maine. The man nodded and handed him a piece of paper.
"This is the phone number of our best police station in our district. Other stations I do not know of. Sorry if I couldn't be any more help you all."
"No, you did the best you could do, thanks."
The police nodded and walked away, wishing them a nice stay. As Rose and Sakura walked away the man reached inside his pocket to take out a cell phone.
"They're here."
"Good, if you want you can kill them. Just bring the girl back alive. "
The man hung up and walked away smirking. ~~~~
Dee hung up after touching bases with Ryo. Sakura looked at him with anxious eyes.
"Bikyy..."
"The same as when we left him."
Sakura let out a sigh but then realized that there was still a lot of things to do.
"I got us a hotel before we came and we are booked for about 3 days."
"I only need a 2 days."
"You only need?"
"Huh? Oh... nothing."
Rose narrowed his eyes. She was definitely keeping something from them. He also knew that there was something going on between Sakura and Dee. Sakura was avoiding Dee and vice-versa. They took a taxi to the station. After talking to them of there case and identifying that they were indeed part of the police force in New York, they provided for Dee and Rose a car and also access to there labs down below (Sakura insisted they have access to it) Of course the people there frowned upon having the girl order then around a little but Rose didn't seem to mind so they said nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No POV

At the hotel they checked in and saw to it that everyone was comfortable. It was around the late afternoon and Dee was just plain tired. A soon as they entered the room he flopped down onto one of the beds. He then noticed that there were only two beds.
"Wait a minute... why are there two beds only?"
"Because one of use will be sleeping on a cot, Latyner."
Dee sat up but before he could say anything Sakura said.
"I will."
She took off her jacket, it was cold out even though it was around April. She felt Rose look at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Yup, I'm used to it. Used to do it all the time."
"Oh..."
Sakura smiled at Rose.
"Really its ok."
After they went downstairs to eat they realized that it was getting a little late to do anything and every one of them was feeling a little tired. In there room once more, they got the cot prepared for Sakura to sleep in as she showered. When she came out fully dressed to sleep, wearing a take top and long jogging pants that Carol gave her, Dee saw the numerous scars upon her arms. He wasn't particularly stunned since he read the report but it still made him wonder how she could go through all that alone. Sakura felt Dee look at her.
"What?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing."
Sakura turned around and rummaged around at a small round table hear the air vent. Rose looked over her shoulder to see what she was doing. She was setting up a little incense burner. At Roses questioning noise she said that it helped her to sleep. She used it when she was the occults hold. Rose picked up the little bag of red powder. He smelled it and sneezed, feeling a little nauseous. Sakura looked at him with amusement.
"You aren't supposed to smell it out of the bag. Its only for burning."
Rose coughed.
"Now you tell me this."
She smiled.
Soon everyone was asleep... but Sakura. When she was sure that Dee and Rose was asleep she slipped out of her cot to walk over to them.
"I'm sorry but you can't get involved."
She kissed Dee lightly on the forehead as if he was a child.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save your home."
She walked away to the little incense burner. She added a little more of the soothing powder and walked away to change. She left the two of them in a deep sleep and walked to the elevator to go down to the lobby. She stood in the lobby and waited. People walked by with out noticing that she stood there. Only one man was interested in her. Watching her. After awhile he walked over to her. He whispered in her ear and took her hand. From far away it almost seemed as if they were a couple.
