Chapter V – The Trip to Meet Din

"Morning!" Tyson greeted as stole a piece of bread from the table and then started running off. "We're going to go out for a bit! See you!"

When they all got to the door, Kiyo and Suisen were already standing there with annoyed looks on their face. The Bladebreakers all exchanged confused looks with each other until Kenny's memory had finally kicked in.

"Oh! We're supposed to be researching today right?" Kenny asked sheepishly. "I-I completely forgot."

That was followed by similar words from the other Bladebreakers. Kiyo had turned around to hide his annoyance although you would feel it from hundreds of miles away.

"Where's Kai?" Suisen asked.

"He's in the library," Kiyo answered. "Unlike the rest of you that all forgot!"

The Bladebreakers all laughed nervously and then ran upstairs to start researching. Suisen and Kiyo both gave a long sigh and then started to go upstairs too. Kai was reading about five books at one time and had a few pieces of notes scattered over the library table. Suisen and Kiyo seemed to be pleased with the amount of work he had gotten done.

"So what are we exactly looking for?" Max asked. "If you guys are friends, shouldn't you know where you all live?"

"Places like Hidden Ocean aren't limited to one area. There is one place called Hidden Ocean on each continent and major continent. We tend to move to different continents to hide our location and prevent others from knowing how long we've lived. After all, if a person stays in one area too long then the children and grandchildren find out that a certain person has been living too long according to the information that they've gained. If we live like this, then we can just say it's just a coincidence that we have the same name and other things like that." Suisen answered. "The three of us don't keep in touch and so that's why I don't know Din's current location.

"I see…" Ray said. "After we find Din, are we going after Kazekuro?"

"Most likely. It's time we get this all over with. I've been waiting for a time when the world will be free of all the conductors." Suisen answered.

They all nodded in agreement and began their research. According of Suisen, there would be small pieces of information from where Din had been. If they could find out the orders she's been running in then they would figure out the pattern and would be able to find her.

The hours passed by very quickly. It didn't take long to get through the whole library, seeing as Suisen's library was a small. Kiyo, Suisen, and Kai were doing the most reading, seeing as they could read fast. After a couple of book, Kenny had stopped reading and started to put together the information that they had all gathered.

"I GOT IT!" Kenny yelled with excitement. Everyone gathered around his computer and find out Din's location.

"So she's also in Japan…" Kiyo said quietly.

"Din is in the northern mountain area near Sapporo," Hilary said. "When are we leaving?"

"Right now," Suisen answered. "We have to find her as soon as possible because we'll never know when Kazekuro will attack us."

They all immediately packed up and headed out. To their surprise, Sasen was on the roof, waiting for them once again. She woke up a couple minutes later due to their loud arguing. Suisen was saying that riding a dragon all the time means you were spoiled. The Bladebreakers were complaining that they should save their energy for battle, not for walking to the mountains.

After a few minutes, Kiyo decided to 'intervene.' "We should ride on Sasen there and climb up the hill!"

Tyson made an awkward face and then yelled, "That makes everything worse! If we're going to ride the dragon and walk, we should ride the dragon up the mountain!"

"The main point of walking is to build up your endurance and strength. But conveniently, we have Sasen here to take us to places. Walking to the mountains would take a longer time than flying to the mountains. Also, if we climb up the mountains, it would be somewhat the same as walking. It just doesn't give the opportunities to have breaks, but that'll help with our endurance training too!" Kiyo explained cheerily.

"I'm amazed you actually thought it through," Suisen said. "But anyways, that plan works for me. Now it's up to them to agree…"

The Bladebreakers gathered in a circle and discussed it for a few minutes. After the finally decided, Hilary was the one to announce their decision.

"We'll take Kiyo's plan where is have to climb up the ever so big mountain," Kiyo gave a small applause. "BUT if we die or seriously need help, it's all on you two; or at least Kiyo."

"Yes, yes," Kiyo replied. They all climbed onto Sasen's back as they previously did and headed off to the mountains.

Suisen seemed the happiest of them all. After more than 200 years, he would finally see Din. In reality, Suisen had always been in love with her. In the past, they were always training with each other and watching each other's backs. But after they had become immortal, she decided that it would be better for them to go separate ways. When he asked why, she simply said that her happiness was gone. It's true that she never said she loved him back. He himself had never said it either. Suisen thought she already knew and accepted his love. Now, after all these years, he had still loved her. However, during the years he had also found out that she had loved Kiyo. Looking back at how she acted, she saw him as a big brother not as a person she loved. Amazingly, he wasn't sad, because all he wanted to do protect her. And as far as he knew, protecting her was what a big brother would do.

"We're here!" Kiyo announced in a sing-song voice, breaking Suisen's thoughts. Everyone looked down at the amazing view; trees were everywhere. Sasen landed at the end of the mountain to drop them off. Everyone climbed off and soon started to climb up the mountain. The mountain wasn't that hard to actually climb because it had ledges everywhere which greatly helped them as well as gave small 10-second breaks. In about four hours, they finally made it to the top.

On the top, there was a small village, and on the edge was a small house. At the window, there was a young girl who stared outside lifelessly…
