Chapter 4: Wild-Goose Chase
I do not wish to give up on you,
But if I can't get you it will do.
If I can't, no one can.
I'll just destroy you, or eliminate you…
Yoh thought for awhile. "Maybe we can snoop around his house for clues? How about tomorrow after school? We can go as a group and watch each other's back." "Good idea Yoh… But we are going today…not tomorrow,ok? I'll answer anna for you. I hope I'll survive…but anyway, Let's go!" "Horo… u want clues? I'll leave some for you. Hope you will enjoy it…" Hao laughed and waited at the location that they would go, if they manage to find that clue dropping another false clue as he watch.
Lyserg opened the door or Hao's door. It creeked open eerily. Surprisingly, no one was there. "Out?" asked Lyserg hopefully. "True… I hope. But just be careful" Yoh replied. "Horo, is your sister wearing something today? Perhaps she might drop it as a clue of some sort." "YOH! I'm so glad you thought my sister was so clever. But sad to disappoint you, she will never do that…she's too… nevermind." "Horo! What is that? Arh…yes! It is the pink ribbon she was tying her hair with this morning at school!" Horo raised an eyebrow. "Eh…I don't even know what she was wearing this morning. How come you were so observant eh? Come clean with me." Lyserg blushed but said nothing. "Lets take a closer look at the ribbon. I hope my brother is not a pervert by tying his hair with a … Fine! Pink ribbon!"
"4-1-14-10"was written on the ribbon. Lyserg thought for awhile and decipher the code. "Let's go and check out the place at once! There's only one of those in this town." They ran all the way. Once they reach it, they greeted the owner and asked if they could have a look around the place. "Sure!" the owner replied. Soon, they were looking for anything suspicious around the place. "Hey! Wha… Look! There is a hut covered behind the mango tree! Lets check it out." They all agreed with Horo Horo and went to look at the place.
They looked all over the place. "Look at what is written on that dusty table! Streetoideu doesn't make sense to me." Horo Horo mumbled. Koloro tugged at Horo Horo's sleeve. "Stop it Koloro." Koloro started jumping on Lyzerg's head and tugging his sleeve as well. "Perhaps she saw something that we did not. And she seems to be trying to leave as somewhere!" They ran and saw the next clue that was carved on.
"Hv#ng f$n? T bd y$ r n w#ld gs chs. Y$rs tr$ly, H"
was what the tree carved. "… I think we better go back to where we started" said Lyzerg after studying the code. "Something tells me that we will get all our answers there.
They ran all the way back again. They opened the door and saw Hao sitting smugly at a chair. "Hey hey hey. You goons can actually figure out all of those? Surprise Surprise. Ah… you are my guest. Perhaps u would like a drink. Green tea? Or…"
"Cut it out Hao…I want some answers…and my sister back…"
