Wow! Two updates in one week and a new review! I'm on a roll! Okay, I forgot my copyright stuff last time so I'll post the OWOR Copyright Message 1.5 (Gee, doesn't that sound official?) Leiko, Rika, Hoku,Kate,and Starlight Town are copyrighted to me, The three men are copyrighted to Sai, and the boy and Shina are coyprighted to both of us because they were created using two of our ideas. Enjoy! (Sidenote: This chapter features one of my best friends Angela from up the street!)

Leiko felt herself whizzing through the air, turning every which way and being tossed vigorously in all directions. She saw nothing but darkness and the air was cold. She wasn't in Starlight Town anymore. Oh, no, this was most definitely not Starlight Town.

Eventually, things became a bit brighter and Leiko saw that she was flying down alleyways and around houses! Looking down at herself, she realized that her body was completely transparent. She was invisible.

Not exactly sure where she was, even though she couldn't tell anyway on account of she was moving way too fast, Leiko tried to get the best view of everything as possible. Long blurs of red, orange, and brown sped past her eyes.

Oh boy…this is going to be fun…

She decided that losing her sanity wasn't an option here, even though she almost failed herself.

After what seemed like quite a while, Leiko finally slowed to a stop and landed on her rear in the middle of a small cul-de-sac. There was a small grassy patch with trees and two large bushes, surrounded by tan houses with orange roofs. There were no children about, which disappointed Leiko quite a bit, but at least the place was beautiful.

Getting up cautiously and slowly, she looked around at her new surroundings.

Where the heck am I? And what happened to Rika and Hoku? Did they end up here too?

She was rather excited by her thoughts and turned around, only to bump noses with a girl with short, sandy-blond hair, a red shirt, and blue jeans. Over her shoulder was a long wooden sword.

"Uh…" The girl turned slightly pink. "Do I know you?"

Leiko backed away, just as pink as the other girl. "No…I'm…uh…new in this neighborhood…"

The girl smiled and put her sword through one of her belt loops. "Well, it's about time we got someone new around here. Name's Kate." She held out her hand to shake. Leiko took her hand and shook it, saying, "I'm Leiko."

"So, Leiko," Kate asked, dropping to her knees and putting her back up against one of the trees, "Where are your parents?"

Leiko was silent for a moment. "This is going to sound crazy, but I don't know who my parents are…my dad disappeared one day and I ran off looking for him…"

Kate looked stunned. "I…I'm so sorry…"

Leiko re-gained her smile and tilted her head to the side a bit. "Aw, don't sweat it. I've been an orphan since I was five, possibly even longer. I roomed with my best friend Rika. You haven't seen her, have you?"

"I may've. What's she look like?"

Leiko looked up at one of the tree branches in thought. "Well, she has shoulder-length white hair, blue eyes, a blue shirt with black straps, and jeans."

Kate assumed the same thoughtful position and shrugged. "Nope. Sorry. You might want to check the park. It's just over the wall behind that row of houses." She pointed across the street. "That'll be your best bet, and if she's not there, best of luck to you."

Leiko nodded thank-you to the girl and walked away toward the park. She hopped over the wall, which reached about to her chest, and landed gracefully on the other side.

The park was just as green as the neighborhood. Many trees, green grass, and a playground in the distance where a girl with curly hair was attempting to push a boy down the slide.

I need all the help I can get now…

She called out to the girl. "Hey! Over here!"

The curly-haired girl looked up from her work directly at Leiko, who smiled at the attention.

"Have you seen a girl with short silver hair go by?"

The girl thought for a moment and called out, "Nope. Sorry!"

Leiko sighed and waved good-bye at her, turning around to face a group of trees.

Walking a bit closer, Leiko noticed that there were four people huddled around in the trees. Three of them were a bit taller, but one of them was about Leiko's height. She recognized the three grown men instantly.

It's those guys from Starlight Town!

Without thinking, she dashed toward them. "Hey!"

She caught the gaze of the snake-like man again, but she had gotten used to it by now.

The man without the covered eye said, "Hey! How are you following us?"

Leiko narrowed her eyes upon the four men, all of which were staring at her. "I don't know, but when you guys destroyed Starlight Town, I got sucked up into the great dark vortex thingy and landed here."

"If you think that we destroyed your precious little town, think again." The man with the covered eye spoke up. "It was a friend of ours."

The non-covered man sneered, "More like enemy of ours…"

Leiko scanned the three men again, but her eyes traveled to the boy this time.

"Oh," She said, glaring back at the covered-eye man. "I see that you're teaching children the dark forces too, huh? Now he's your little buddy?"

"I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that." He turned to the other men. "Let's get going before she finds us again." He waved his hand, but right after the portal opened, Leiko spoke up again.

"So you're just going to run away from a thirteen-year-old? Look, guys, I'm not even going to guess how old the four of you are,"

"Don't." Spat the white-haired man.

"but if you're going to keep running away, you're all bloody cowards! I mean, I'm brave enough to even wander over here, and now you're running away? What is this, a secret boy-scout meeting?"

"You've said enough, child." The covered-eye-man said, getting his fingers into a snapping position. "One more word out of you and I assure you that you'll never say anything ever again."

"Why?" Leiko laughed, unafraid of the man's threat. "What are you going to do? Blow me across the playground with your magical powers?"

He grinned. "Precisely."

The man snapped his fingers and suddenly, Leiko felt several bangs to the back of her head and landed on her bottom again. When she looked up, she had to peer through several holes in about five walls of houses to see the other side of the park.

I had to open my big mouth…

Well, did you like it? In case you didn't notice, Kate is NOT Angela. Angela is the curly-haired girl pushing the boy down the slide. Thanks for letting me borrow you, Angela! Post a review if you're reading this and tell me what you like. I'll try to update ASAP. Bye everyone!
