Back at the river, Zelos had just awoken. And as he sat up, rubbing his eyes, he had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Oh, wow, I stayed here over-night? I really should head back. Sheena's probably worried…"

With those words still lingering, he looked down at his feet.

"No, wait…. She's probably happy I'm not there to bother her."

The uneasy feeling came back.

"Oh, fine, I'll go back. Maybe she even missed me…"

He stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and started heading back to camp. As he was walking, his eyes stayed looking dead forward, they looked unfocused and sad. After an hour or so, he finally reached the camp. When he saw everyone sitting together, talking, all with their heads facing the ground, he asked the first thing that came to his mind.

"Where's Sheena?"

Collette turned around, her eyes filled with tears that were also dripping down her face. Zelos' expression turned from sadness to complete surprise.

"Sh-She… She just disappeared! We have all been looking everywhere for her. She never said anything about leaving…So we assumed---…"

"Assumed what!"

"That she's been… Kidnapped!"

Zelos collapsed into a kneeling position, still keeping his eyes on Collette.

"Wh-What! Who could've---?"

"That's what we are trying to figure out."

"There were no clues left to help us out." Raine said.

"NONE!"

"Hey, Zelos…" Genis said.

"What!" said Zelos, obviously annoyed.

"I don't think you realize how sad Sheena was when you just left her here all day yesterday. She flat-out refused to go to bed without knowing where you were, and it took us a long time to get her into her tent. And I wouldn't be surprised if she barely got any sleep."

Zelos stared at Genis. She really… missed him?

"Oh… Maybe I shouldn't have…"

How stupid! He was gone ALL day. If he hadn't left yesterday and stayed in the middle of nowhere overnight, Sheena wouldn't be in this mess. It was all his fault.

"Even though there isn't much hope… We sent Regal to continue to look for clues." Raine said.

"Regal?"

"Yeah, no one else would do it."

"Talk about desperate…"

(Note: I like making Regal act really insane! REGAL SMEAGOL!)

Zelos looked over to Sheena's tent. Regal was running around it in circles like a maniac. Then, all of a sudden, he started sniffing on the ground like a dog.

"What the heck…" Zelos said, annoyed.

"Who knows? Maybe he's found something…" Genis said.

"Yeah, and my name is Santa Claus."

Regal started digging frantically in the ground. He grabbed something shiny with his mouth and started running towards the group.

"REGAL HAS FOUND SOMETHING!" Regal said in a muffled voice.

"Ho, ho, ho, Zelos!" Genis said with a huge grin on his face.

"Shut it…"

"What is it, Regal?" Raine said as she stood up.

"Mine."

"Regal, give Raine the---" Zelos said.

"Mine!"

"Now... Be a good monkey and give Raine---"

"Miine!"

"DAMMIT, REGAL! GIVE RAINE THE CLUE!"

"IT'S MIIIINE! I FOUND IT!"

"REGAAAL!" Zelos said as he stood up and started running to him.

"Regal. Drop it." Presea said. (Hey… Where'd she come from?)

"B-But…"

"DROP. IT."

Regal whined, and dropped the shiny clue. Raine immediately ran over to it and picked it up.

"It's---!" Raine said as she held it out for everyone to see.

"It's one of Kuchinawa's daggers… No doubt." Said Zelos, staring at the weapon.

"Does that mean he kidnapped her?" Genis asked.

"No, DUH GENIS!" Zelos yelled angrily.

"Hey, now…" Raine said still looking very intently at the dagger. "Maybe we should pay a visit to Mizuho."

"Yeah! RIGHT NOW!" Zelos screamed.

"Yep. Let's get the Rheairds…"

Just as Raine finished that statement, Zelos was running towards the Rheairds. He quickly hopped onto one, and started flying off.

"WAIT A SECOND!" They all yelled at him as they walked to their Rheairds.

"Come on… Come on!"

As soon as everyone was on their vehicle, they flew off to Mizuho.

I'm workin' on the rest of it! I hope you all are enjoying this.
