*** Chris-Redfield26: Hello everyone, tis the season to put out chapters! Im very excited people, because my mum (whom I havnt seen in how many years?) Sent me a gift today! To bad it was totally worthless and she probably found it in someones trashcan, but hey, its the thought that counts. *burns the gifts in the backround, cept for the $50 gift card for the wilton mall* ^_^ Well, here is the next chapter everyone! ***

Chapter 3

He knw there was something up, just as everyone else did, of course he wasnt about to say anything. The great Sora told no one of his feelings, unless he was very chipper. Of course when that happened EVERYONE knew about it. He smiled, leaning back on the stump of a fake tree, his red eyes glistening with happiness.

" Something is going on with you Bear." The twin blade mumbled to no one imperticular. " And I'm going to find out. This could be... fun!"

Standing he stretched, bringing his lenghthy arms over his head. With a cheerful sigh, he logged out.

~*~ ~*~

Darkness filled his vision. With a soft smile the boy took off the helmet and looked around. Yep, still in his room. No one had disturbed him. He stood, placing the helmet gently on the table and brushed away brown starnds of hair that fell infront of his eyes. Swiftly he made his way out to the hall, walking down the steep stairs toward the outside door.

" Where are you going?" A voice called from behind him.

" Out." The boy mumbled before shutting the door.

Warm rays from the hot sun beat down on him. He brought his hands over his eyes, sheilding himself from the bright light. How long has it been since he was outside? Three, four days? His parents told him it was bad for him to stay inside for so long, but they did nothing to stop him. If he was in his room then he wasnt disturbing anyone, so everyone was happy. They were probably trying to figure out what he was doing going out doors.

Slowly he stepped off his porch, shoving his pale hands into his jean pockets. Head bowed dwon, he made his way onto the sidewalk. The boy walked, counting the cracks in the rough tone as he went. He didnt need to look up to know where he was going, he knew it as if there was a map in his head.

' He writes books, Bear... Bear writes.'

A small smile crept up onto the boys face. Dispite was everyone said about him, he was anything but stupid. A little silly, but wasnt all young children. No, not silly in the real world, but The World. In the real world, he was a puppet, but he didnt mind. The body did as it was told, eat, sleep, and all the basics, but the mind was in a whole nother reality. The World.

The puppet walked, completely aware of his surroundings. Soon he had reached his destination, the library.

' Time to figure you out, old Bear.'

Bear gave a soft sigh, placing his blade down. The monster gave a high howl before falling to the ground, leaving a nice peice of armor in return. Picking it up, Bear turned and smiled at his companion.

" Nice Bear, is it worth anything?" Mimiru asked.

" I dont know." He smiled. " Here, you keep it."

The heavy blade grinned and grabbed the armor. " Thanks Bear! Your the best."

With a smile he turned away from her, taking out the sprite ocarina. Before either of them blinked they were out of the dungeon.

" Come on, lets head back to Mac Anu." He more or less suggested.

Mimiru nodded and gated out, as well as Bear.

~*~ ~*~

" Thank you." Mimiru smiled, taking the money. Bear grinned at her from a few feet away, leaning on a post. Running over to him she handed half the moeny to the blademaster.

" I really dont need this Mimiru." Bear mumbled, holding the money.

" Take it." She ordered.

Bear held up his hands in a mock surrender. With a small giggle she turned around, only to see a wavemaster heading toward them. It was not Tsukasa though, no, another man. Looking back she spotted bear cringe for a moment, his grip on his sword tighten.

" Whos that?" she mumbled.

The wavemaster walked by her, momentarily stopping next to Bear and whispering something she couldnt quiet hear. Bear cringed again, looking away. With a grin the wavemaster took off.

" Bear?" Mimiru looked up at him curiously. " Who was that, what did he say."

The older man stared down at her for a moment, making her very uncomfortable. finally he gave his usual warm smile. " Nothing that concerns you Mimiru, dont worry about it."

It did worry her though, and she was going to find out what was going on, soon enough.

With a small grunt bear stood up, placing the helmet gently back in its holster.

' You have been warned old man. Im going to get that money, one way or another. You better watch your back.'

His words still echoed in his mind. Closing his eyes Bear walked over to the window, looking out. Cool breeze blew into his face as he stared out to the city.

' You better watch your back.'

The boy smiled as he stared at the book infront of him. Flipping it up side down he looked at the back cover.

' Bear Ikaro.'

He had a name, now all he had to do was find this " Bear Ikaro".

' Be ready old man, I'm on my way.'

With a smile he shoved the book into his jacket, slepping out of the library unnoticed.

*** Chris-Redfield26: Heh, sorry it took so long. Well, hope you liked it. Its also the season to give out reviews, so, review! LOL. See ya! And Merry Christmas!!!! ***
