I've updated the other one and now I'm updating this one kk? Yay...

Yoh laughed a little, "Lyserg you've got a lot to learn about friendship, stick with us, we'll teach you," he said as he started to walk away like the rest of us. He caught up to us and Ryu started to sing a funny, but stupid song:

"Well, we're goin' down the road, but we don't know where to,
We've got no map and we got no food,
Our friend Lyserg turned out to be a dude,
Oh no!"

"Oh my gosh, Ryu," I said. "What, I'm bored," he said. I ignored him. "You feeling okay?" I asked Ren. "Somewhat yes," he said. "Well, you'll feel better," I said comfortingly.

Chapter 17 ------

We went to the hospital and had them fixed up soon. Mostly just scratches and bruises. "Now that you guys are all better, let's get something to eat. I'm starved!" Yoh said as he rubbed his stomach. We all agreed and went to the diner next to the hospital. We sat in a corner booth (a circle one) and this is the order of everyone from left to right: Ren, me, Horohoro, Ryu, Lyserg, and Yoh. Ren was looking pretty pissed, but I didn't know why, unless he didn't want to get beat up in front of me. We all started off with an appetizer and Lyserg told us more about him.

His father, Liam Diethyl, was a great detective and dowsing expert. Because he admired his father so greatly, he looked everywhere for the key to the pendulum. When he was six, he realized the key was at Big Ben. While he was away, Hao made a proposition to Liam to join him. Happily, Lyserg found the key and ran home to show his father, only to find Hao had destroyed his home and killed his parents. 'Aw that's sad,' I thought. "So when I heard of the tournament and that Hao was going to be in it, I decided to join. Since they wouldn't let me, I decided to steal an Oracle Bell from a priest," Lyserg said as if it didn't matter.

"Good job," I said. Everyone was looking at me in a crazy way. "What? I mean, if you can steal an Oracle Bell, especially from a priest, that takes guts as well as some strength," I said almost admiring him. "Yeah, but he stole an Oracle Bell," Horohoro argued. "And he whooped your ass," I said back at him. "You got me," he said. I smiled and thought, 'That's right.' "There's something connection between you and Hao, Yoh. I just don't know what it is, do you even know him?" Lyserg asked.

"No, I've never heard of him till the tournament started, wonder who he is. He must be pretty powerful who ever he is," Yoh said. "You should join us Lyserg, we have no idea how to get to Dobe Village, do you think your pendulum could help us?" Horohoro asked. "Um, yeah, you really want me to join your group?" he asked happily. Horohoro and Yoh nodded their heads. Ren growled underneath his breath. I looked over at him, he was really pissed. "Why do you want him to join us, how can you all trust him?" he said harshly. "Ren, calm down," I said. He just got up and left. "Sorry, I'll be back," I said as I left to go follow him.

He went out the door and over past the hospital. "Ren, wait," I screamed at him. "What do you want?" he asked as he stopped and I caught up to him. "What's wrong?" I asked him, catching my breath. "They all want him to join our group." "What's wrong with that?" "He doesn't belong with us, that's what." "So, I could have been gone after I battled Horohoro, but you all wanted me to stay, is that any different?" I asked. "He's not that bad." "Shut up!" Ren said as he slapped me. I was caught off guard, seeing as I thought I knew him. I stared at him, rubbing where he had hit me. He just walked off.

I blinked a few times to make sure that had really happened, "Ren?" I shouted after him. It was getting dark, and I didn't want him to be out there by himself, so I started to walk over to him. Someone placed a hand on my shoulder, "He'll come back, give him some time to cool off," Yoh said. I nodded my head and picked up his hand off my shoulder. I noticed that Lyserg was gone, "Where's Lyserg?" "He was going to go somewhere, but he'll met us back at the hotel," Horohoro said. I rubbed it again. "What's wrong?" Ryu asked. "Nothing…it's nothing," I said as I stopped. We all went back to the hotel and laid around when Ren came through the doors. I didn't say anything; I didn't want to upset him over anything. He tapped my shoulder and made a hand motion to follow him. I got up, nobody had noticed at all.

He led me into the next room (there is a main room and a sleeping room, he took me into the sleeping room where nobody was, there was a door between the two). "I'm sorry," he said. "Is that it?" I asked. "Yes, truly I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you." "Then you shouldn't have in the first place," I said as I crossed my arms. 'I feel really bad that I'm not acting kinder, and I feel like I want to dump him, but that would make both our hearts ache. Oh man, what to do?' I thought. I let out a sigh and walked towards the door.

I was just about to open it when someone else did. It was Yoh, "Lyserg's still gone, maybe you two would like to help us?" "Sure," I said. Ren shrugged his shoulders. "Come on," Yoh said. We all walked out to the hospital and diner and split up from there. I had Sakura search from the sky while I looked on the ground. I came back and saw that everybody was back except for Ren. "Let's go follow him, maybe he found Lyserg," I suggested.

That's all for now. I'll probably update later!
