Chapter 3: Rinoa's mystery, within a mystery.

"No..." Rinoa said as she gazed at a room, which was full of skeleton bones and a book. She opened it and it was blank. She then threw the book in frustration of being lost down under the floor. It landed still opened, only this time writing started appearing, soon the writing was accompanied by a voice.

"If you read this line, then I suppose you have found me, what the Uchiha Army does in secret now. For they terminate their own soldiers. I have been trapped her for six months now... I promised him I'd return, my little brother I am sorry. Sorry I never said good bye to you, sorry I'd never see you fight..."

The writing stopped and the voice faded. Rinoa looked around and got up, but then, the rooms torches somehow lit up and then the room had light. She gazed back at the book, but this time saw a ghostly man writing in it.

"I am sorry I was forced into this army, and now you are to, but you do not see the evil of the army. The evil that I discovered that they are desperately trying to cover. But now that you found me, I can say sorry, little Shisui Uchiha, little brother."

Back outside, Zhou Yu and Nene were finished searching the forest and then headed back for the mansion. Sun Ce saw his friend working and remarked "Zhou Yu you are such a good detective aren't you?" Zhou Yu just replied "Not as good as the great Vincent Valentine himself. I am just the assistant." The two Qiaos were walking by and said "Hey Lord Zhou Yu! I want to help you with the detective work!" Xiao Qiao told her husband. Zhou Yu just replied "Of course you can help me Xiao Qiao! An extra pair of eyes always helps." He said as Da Qiao stayed with Sun Ce when the three walked back into the house.

Yuffie and Squall were banging on the floor, desperately trying to find Rinoa. Itachi was walking by when he noticed them banging on the floor and said "The floor will not provide any clues." Squall replied "Rinoa fell through the floor and we can't find her!" Itachi smirked and said "Then it is true about here..." He said walking into his room and closing the door. "What do you think he meant?" Yuffie asked Squall. Squall answered "I'm not sure..."

Rinoa was in the room all by herself when the ghostly figure turned and looked at her "So... you found me? Didn't you?"
