Hello! Finally back with another chapter. Want to thank everyone for 100 followers. I hope you all enjoy.

Ritsuka woke up from her short slumber. As she did, she quickly gathered herself from her much needed nap.

"Did you sleep well, Master?" Scáthach asked.

"Yeah…I really needed that," Ritsuka replied while stretching her arms a bit.

Scáthach smiled. "Excellent to hear. We are almost at our destination. Mash woke up earlier and went with your new friends from before. She should be back any moment."

As if on cue, Mash had returned. "Senpai, I'm glad you're awake. I was just talking to Jaune. He said his sister lives in this city that we're arriving in and that we can stay with them if we like."

A smile grew on Ritsuka's face. "Really? That's very generous of them, and convenient. We'd probably be sleeping in a tent otherwise."

Mash nodded. "Come on. The train will be arriving at the station soon."

Ritsuka and Scáthach got up to join Mash in watching the train arrive at the station in Argus. The three watched as the train pulled up to the passenger loading and unloading area. After exiting the train, the three began looking for Jaune and his team. Nora had spotted them in the distance first and called out to them, indicating their position with an excited wave of her hands.

All together now, the group got on a cable car to head towards the home of Jaune's sister. As they rode the car, Ritsuka took in all the incredible sights that Argus had to offer. The hilly terrain allowed for incredible views over the nearby ocean and lower elevated parts of Argus. Ritsuka even took note of the many shops the city had to offer. From pastry shops, general goods, something called a "Dust" shops, and more.

The time quickly passed thanks to all the sightseeing and the cable car finally arrived at their desired location. After a bit more walking, Nora was beginning to grow impatient.

"How much longer, Jaune?" Nora groaned, exhausted from a long day of traveling and fighting Grimm.

"It's riiiiiight…here," Jaune said pointing to a house that was a short distance away.

Jaune walked up the stoop, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. It was a few seconds before they heard the door unlock and open from the other side. As soon as it did, the woman on the other side gasped in excitement and charged right at Jaune, wrapping him tightly around her arms.

"JAUNE," the young girl exclaimed, possessing blonde hair and blue eyes just like him.

"H-hey Saphron," Jaune said, choking as the life was slowing being squeezed out of him by his older sister's death hug.

As soon as she let him go, Jaune took a big gasp of air then began panting in order to recover the rest of the oxygen he had lost just now. Once he caught his breath, he introduced everyone to his sister. "Everyone, this is my sister, Saphron. Saphron, these are…"

"I know who they are. I recognize them from the Vytal Festival. That's Ren, Nora, and…" Saphron stumbled upon getting to Ritsuka. While she knew Jaune's teammates, Ritsuka's group was unknown to her. Saphron paused for a moment, pretending like she was trying to remember what Ritsuka's name was. Jaune knew she was faking and decided to step in.

"Saphron, this is Ritsuka, Mash, and Scáthach. They're new friends of ours," Jaune explained.

"Oh, good. I was about to feel bad for not remembering your names," Saphron said while laughing. "It's nice to meet you all."

Ritsuka, Mash, and Scáthach bowed.

"Thank you for having us," Ritsuka replied.

After entering their host's home, Ritsuka, Mash, and Scáthach were shown to one of the spare room where they would sleep. She then left them to get comfortable while dinner was prepared. The room was fairly sized too. Not too big, but enough space to where the three of them would be comfortable. Unfortunately, there was only one bed, so it seemed that they were going to have to share.

"Looks like we'll be sleeping together, Mash," Ritsuka said with excitement.

The demi-servant blushed from hearing that. Sleeping in the same bed as her Senpai? The thought was rather exciting for the pink-haired eggplant. Her excitement, however, only allowed her to get a nod in. Scáthach only gave a soft smile, seeing right through everything that was going on.

"Master, now that we have a moment to ourselves, we should contact the Storm Border and report on what we've discovered," Scáthach suggested.

Ritsuka agreed. "Good idea."

Ritsuka pressed a button on her communicator to try and come in contact with the crew back at the Storm Border. It only took but a few seconds before the call was picked up.

"Well, look who finally decided to report back," said none other than Goredolf, sounding frustrated.

Ritsuka laughed nervously. She had been pretty irresponsible with not contacting Chaldea on a more routine manner. She did have a fair excuse, though. At least, it was fair in Ritsuka's eyes.

"Heeeey Director," Ritsuka greeted with an innocent demeanor.

"Well, I hope you have an explanation for why you've gone off course AND took so long to report back."

Ritsuka chuckled. "Well…"

Before she could explain, another familiar voice came up on the communicator. "Ritsuka, Mash, Scáthach! Sounds like you three are a-okay."

"DA VINCI-CHAN!" Mash and Ritsuka said in sync.

Ritsuka continued. "Yes, we're fine now. Sorry, Director. We haven't had a moment to ourselves since we left Mistral."

"Which brings us back to my questions just now, where are you now? Why did you leave Mistral and not report back to us?" Goredolf asked. He sounded upset, but they knew it was mainly because he was concerned for Ritsuka and Mash.

"It's a long story," Ritsuka began.

Ritsuka started by explaining the dreams she had been having the past few days back at Chaldea. Telling them how they all involved a girl that she now knew as Ruby Rose. She told them that she managed to encounter Ruby back in Mistral, somehow, and decided to follow them to this town that was called Argus. She told them about the Grimm they fought along the way and that she had now lost track of Ruby thanks to a plan had that resulted in them being separated from her and her team. She mentioned how they had met a few more of Ruby's friends and were now staying with them for the time being. The staff at the Storm Border took a moment to process everything they had heard.

"Well," Goredolf said. "I'm glad you're all alright. Even so, it was foolish to run off like that without reporting back. Especially because of some ridiculous dream."

Holmes stepped in. "I not so sure about that, Director. Let's not forget, Ms. Fujimaru has always had strong connections with dreams. While I can't give an exact hypothesis on what these dreams mean, I think it's obvious that there is a unique bond between Ms. Fujimaru and this 'Ruby Rose' girl. That being said, it may be unwise to dismiss these dreams as pointless. Ms. Fujimaru, if you do have any more dreams relevant to these, I ask that you report them back to us, okay?"

"You got it," Ritsuka replied, glad that Holmes was on her side.

Goredolf was silent. He had nothing to argue against Sherlock's advice. "Well…as long as you're safe…that's all that matters. I'll expect a full report on this when you return to the Storm Border."

"That reminds me. How are the repairs going on the Storm Border?" Ritsuka asked.

There was silence for a moment before Da Vinci answered. "Not good, unfortunately. While you've been gone, we had another horde of Grimm attack the ship. Emiya, the Captain, and Holmes were able fend them off, but they managed to do more damage than we were hoping. It's gonna take about another day or so for us to finish the repairs before we'll be able to rendezvous with you three."

Ritsuka was silent for a moment, worrying about her friends back at the Storm Border. "Well…don't take too long, okay?"

Da Vinci gave a smile of confidence. "Of course. OH! One last thing, while you've been gone, we've been doing what we can on our end too. We managed to track where the anomaly is coming from and pinpoint it to a more general location. Unfortunately, since we don't have a map, I can't tell you exactly where it is. Although, I can base it on your location relevant to us and you can go from there. It's about…several hundred kilometers North West form your current position. If you can find a map, we can probably get a more exact idea of where or what is out there, if anything at all."

"No problem," Ritsuka said, "We'll try and gather more information while we're here as well."

"Perfect, don't forget to contact us if you discover anything important."

"Sure thing."

With her news done, Holmes stepped in. "Well, now that you know where the anomaly is coming from, I trust you three know what to do next?"

"Yep," Ritsuka replied. "We'll scour for a map in Argus and, in the mean time, continue to gather as much information about Remnant as possible.

Holmes couldn't help but laugh. "Ha ha ha. Excellent. Now then, take care and make sure to stay and contact when you can."

"We will."

With that, the connection with the Storm Border was terminated. Ritsuka fell back onto the bed and gave a big sigh of relief. Before they could take a moment to relax, the door opened to reveal Nora at the entrance.

"Come on, guys. Dinner's waitin'" Nora said before dashing off without another word. The three couldn't help but share a laugh Nora's peculiarly energetic attitude. The three marched down stairs with Team JNPR and Saphron. They even got to meet Saphron's wife, Terra, and their son, Adrian.

After dinner, the three decided to pack it in for the night. It had been a long day for everyone on the train and some proper sleep sounded good. They once again thanked Saphon, and her wife Terra, for their hospitality before retiring to their guest bedroom. With there being only one bed Scáthach decided not to sleep. Being a Servant, it was more of a luxury similar to eating. Before retiring into her Spirit Form, she bid the two good night. Mash and Ritsuka, now in the same bed, wished each other good night as well before turning off the light and drifting off to sleep. Ritsuka closed her eyes, wondering if she'd have another dream relating to her new friend, Ruby. If she did, it could, hopefully, give her some answers.

Ritsuka's eyes opened. She looked around and found herself in another unknown city. What caught her attention first was in complete and total destruction. It didn't take too long for Ritsuka to catch on to what was going on.

"Another dream." Ritsuka said herself.

Quickly realizing what was happening, Ritsuka got up and began scouting around the city, hoping to find someone or something that could help her understand what was going on. As she walked through the city, she became horrified at how many dead bodies she found. They were mostly either mauled or burnt to a crisp from the flames. Ritsuka began to wonder if there were even any survivors. So far, it didn't seem like there were any. There were no screams, no cries for help, just the silence and crackling of the burning buildings around her.

It didn't take long before the smell of the bodies started getting to her. The mix of rotting and charred flesh was unpleasant to her nose. Ritsuka tried covering it, but it did little to help. It wasn't her first time seeing such a massacre, but it never got easier.

She turned to another street and found more of the same. Mauled and burnt bodies, burning building, nothing but carnage and destruction lay ahead. Who would do this? Why would they do this? Despite the horror, Ritsuka managed to gather up the willpower to keep walking, as she felt it was the only way she would find any answers. As she examined the bodies along the way, she hoped that there wouldn't be any that she recognized. Unfortunately, that hope was quickly shattered.

In the distance, she immediately recognized some of the bodies on the floor. Ritsuka gasped as she ran towards them. As she approached them, their identity was undeniable. The red cape was a dead giveaway.

"Ruby!" Ritsuka said as tears starting emitting from her eyes.

Ritsuka got on her knees and lifted up the silver-eyed girl. She was clearly dead, covered in what was most likely her own blood. Ritsuka looked around and noticed that the other bodies around her were that of Ruby's friends. None were from Chadlea, thank goodness, but wasn't any more comforting. Confusion quickly bolted through Ritsuka's mind. Why? Why was she being shown all of this? All the copses of her newfound friends? Was this a joke by another Outer God? Tears started to flow in greater quantity from Ritsuka's face. While they did, she suddenly felt presence of another.

Ritsuka looked up and noticed someone standing not too far from her. A woman dressed in black. She stood still, not even facing Ritsuka. Instead, she stared out into the sea of flames, sulking up the massacre that lied before her as if it brought her great pleasure. Her skin was as white as snow. Black veins protruding from her arms. Her white hair complimented her abnormally pale skin. Her design made Rituska theorize that she must've been some type of humanoid-like Grimm.

Ritsuka only stared at her, unable to find the ability to speak. As she did, the woman slowly started to turn back towards her. A chill ran down Ritsuka's spine. The woman stared back at Ritsuka for only a moment. She didn't say anything. Then, a devious smile grew on her face. The chill vibrating through Ritsuka's body intensified. She could tell that she was someone not to be trifled with. While Ritsuka wasn't sure who she was, one thing was certain. She was definitely the one responsible for this.

Ritsuka leaped up from her bed, which was complimented by a quick yelp. Her breathing was rapid as she was still panicking from the previous night's dream. She gave a big sigh as she quickly realized that she was back in the real world.

"Another dream, Master?" asked a familiar voice.

Ritsuka looked over to the corner of the room and saw Scáthach standing there, watching her.

"Scáthach…" was all Ritsuka could say.

"You were fidgeting quite a lot in your sleep. Did you have an unpleasant dream?"

"Yeah…but it's nothing you need to worry about it. I'll talk about it when the time is appropriate."

Scáthach sighed. "Very well. By the way, your new friends left earlier, said they had something they needed to do. Mash also has breakfast for you downstairs. You should get ready and eat, Master. Don't forget you still have a mission to complete."

"Right. What about you?"

"Since there is no need for me to eat, I shall pass this time. Go, eat your fill. I won't allow my pupil to start the day on an empty stomach."

Ritsuka nodded. She got up from her bed and straightened herself out to look presentable before heading down stairs. When she was out of sight, Scáthach gave a light sigh. "Master, what secrets is this world showing you?"

After breakfast, Ritsuka and Mash headed out to gather more information in Argus while they wait for the Storm Border, and Ruby, to arrive. Scáthach watched them from a distance in her Spirit Form. With no immediate threat of the Grimm, they felt it better this way in order to put less strain on Ritsuka.

The cool climate, combined with the clear skies created the perfect setting to enjoy being out and about on the town.

Ritsuka stretched out her arms in excitement. "Mmmm, feel that cool air, Mash. Isn't it just wonderful?"

"Yes, combined with this world's sun, it a perfect temperature. Not too hot and not too cold," Mash replied.

"To be honest, I'm getting excited to check this town out. It feels so different compared to Mistral. First thing is first, though. We need to find some sort of map so we can know where we are and get a general idea of what Remnant actually looks like. "

"Right."

As they were walking down the street, they came across a book store. It was a good stroke of luck for the two. Surely they would have a book containing a world atlas or something of the sort. Upon stepping inside, they found themselves in a wonderland of new, potential information. They had books ranging from fantasy, adventure, and mystery, to books about Dust, Grimm, and even "Weapon Science," whatever that meant. Unfortunately, such books would have to wait, as they had more important tasks at hand.

After skimming through the many aisles, they were finally able to find what they needed. They found a book that contained maps of all the different parts of Remnant, even a world map. Mash flipped through the pages until she found the world map they were looking for. She then began to search for Argus so she could pinpoint their next destination. It didn't take long for her to find it.

"So we're here in Argus right now," Mash said. She traced her finger on the map in the direction that Da Vinci had pointed out.

"That would mean our destination should be…" Mash gasped as she realized that there was some weight to what Da Vinci said. There was, in fact, a city, nay, a whole Kingdom to the northwest of Argus.

"Atlas," Ritsuka and Mash said together almost in sync.

The two were hyped up. "It looks like we've got our next target," Ritsuka said.

Mash nodded. "Yes, we should relay this back to the Storm Border once we get back to Saphron's home."

The two high fived each other. Once they were done, Mash put the book back and the two headed back out into the city street.

"Right," Ritsuka said. "Now that we have that out of the way, how about we see what else this town has to offer? It'd be like a little date."

Mash started blushing. "Y-yeah, that sounds like a great idea."

Over the next several hours, Ritsuka and Mash explored more of what Argus had to offer. Dust shops, weapon parts and services, even more familiar shops like bakeries, general goods stores, and even some niche stores were all present in the city. There were no shortages of "oohs" and "aahs" coming from the pair.

After the amount of sightseeing they had done, the two decided to stop for a much needed rest. The two sat by some benches that gave a great view of the icy ocean.

"This world is fascinating, isn't it Mash?" Rituska asked.

"Yes it's a strange balance both beauty and danger," Mash replied. "But remember Senpai, we're not just tourists on vacation. We still have a mission to accomplish."

"I know. It's just…being able to explore a new world is exciting. With the Lostbelts, it's different. Knowing that 'it's just gonna be destroyed anyway so why bother?' only makes it sad. Remnant, however, isn't a Lostbelt. I guess it's just refreshing to explore something new without the thought of its imminent destruction constantly haunting the back of my mind."

Ritsuka was starting to get bummed out after reflecting on their journey thus far. It wasn't easy knowing that destroying the Lostbelts also meant destroying entire societies. Societies that formed their own, unique cultures. Even if their traditions were strange or different from what was known by history, it was still something that became part of the everyday lives of the people living in those Lostbelts They had just as much right to live as Chaldea and the previous people of Earth did. It was taxing on the girl's mentality.

Mash could see Ritsuka's distraught and took hold of her Senpai's hand. Ritsuka looked over at Mash with a smile. She had been an incredible support to her throughout their entire journey. She probably would've broken down a long time ago if not for her. Ritsuka rested her head on Mash's shoulder for a bit. Closing her eyes, so that she may rest them for a moment.

After a moment of resting and taking in the sights, the two decided they had done what they could and headed back to Saphron's house. Jaune and the others were probably back from whatever errands they were doing, so they would be able to have a nice chat with them for the time being.

Before long, they had finally arrived back at their temporary sanctuary. Ritsuka knocked on the door and waited for Saphron or Terra to open it up for them. After a few moments, the door opened. However, the person who stood on the other side put a giant smile on Ritsuka's face.

"Ruby?!"

"Ritsuka!"

The two girls squealed with joy.

"You're okay!" Ritsuka exclaimed.

Ruby nodded. "Yes, we're fine. It was all part of the plan. Well…most of it was anyway heh heh. There were some hiccups along the way, but let's not worry about that. We're here now. And now that you're here, I can finally introduce you to my friends."

Ruby escorted Ritsuka and Mash back inside.

"Everyone, Ritsuka's here!" Ruby said in full excitement.

Jaune, Nora, and Ren greeted Ritsuka, seeing that she had returned.

"Jaune told us y'all met back on the Argus Limited," Ruby said.

"Yes, we did. It's a good thing we did too. We're grateful that his sister was willing to house us for the time being."

Ruby smiled. "That's great to hear. But now…allow me to introduce you to the best team ever. This…is my BFF, Weiss…my other great friend, Blake…and my big sister, Yang. Together, we're Team RWBY. Lead by yours truly, of course."

"RWBY…that's so cool!" Ritsuka commented.

"And this…is our pal Oscar."

Ritsuka bowed. "My name is Ritsuka. Ritsuka Fujimaru. This is my friend, Mash Kyrielight."

Mash bowed as well. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you."

Yang got up and approached Ritsuka. "So you're the one my sister won't stop talking about."

"She's also the one that Ruby nearly killed back in Mistral too," Weiss added.

Ruby chuckled nervously, still embarrassed by that accident.

Yang observed Ritsuka for a second while she tried to remember them. "Hey, yeah! You're right! Wow! Ain't that a twist of fate, am I right?"

"Yeah… it's certainly a coincidence," Ritsuka replied with a bit of hesitance.

"Wasn't there someone else with you back on the Argus Unlimited?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, she had purple hair," Weiss added.

"Oh. You mean Scáthach. She's um…she had to step out as well. She said she would be back later." Ritsuka answered.

"I'd like to meet her. She was so cool back there." Ruby said as she reminisced on the battle on the Argus Limited. "She was like WOOSH WOOSH all over the train. And the way she took out those Grimm with her spear. Oh, it was so cool!"

"Well, I hope we get to know each other more," Ritsuka said.

"And we should start right now," Ruby replied. "Jaune's sister won't be back for a bit, so we can chat until they do."

"Sounds great. If you don't mind, I'd like to make some tea first."

Blake raised her hand. "I would definitely take a cup if you did."

"Great! We brought some tea with us in our bags. Be right back."

Ritsuka rushed up the stairs with Mash following close behind. When the two were out of sight, Jaune looked at Ruby. "Ruby, there's something we need to tell you all."

Back upstairs, Ritsuka and Mash went back into the room they had spent the night in. With the coast clear, Mash deployed her shield and opened the storage container inside. She reached inside and grabbed the pack of tea they had brought with them. Luckily they had brought plenty.

"Great let's head back down sta-" Ritsuka was about to walk off before Mash placed her hand on her shoulder, stopping her in her tracks.

"Something wrong Mash?"

"Senpai…what is your plan with Ruby?"

Ritsuka tilted her head a bit. "What do you mean?"

"Once the Storm Border is repaired, we're going to have to head to Atlas. And…we may not see them again. I just want to know if you plan on doing something…or if you're just trying to be friends with them just because your dreams."

Ritsuka was silent for a moment. She knew Mash had a very excellent point. Their own planet would be in danger if they don't stop whatever was draining the planet's Mana. However, something inside Ritsuka spoke to her.

"Mash," she started. "You're right. We need to focus on our mission first and foremost. And I'll admit, I don't have a plan, but I feel there is a more to all of this than we're seeing right now. Part of me feels that they'll be the ones to help us in saving our own world as well. I know it's a little crazy, but hey, it's not like we haven't seen crazier before, right? All I'm asking is that you trust me on this. Will you trust me?"

Mash took a deep breath. "Okay, Senapi. I trust you know what you're doing, Senpai."

Mash followed her replay with a smile to reaffirm her trust. Ritsuka was grateful for her support in her selfish wish.

"Come on, let's head back down stairs."

The two headed back downstairs with tea in hand. Walking down the stairs, Ritsuka could see that Ruby and her friends were talking amongst each other. They quickly stopped when they saw her walking back down.

"Sorry about that," Ritsuka apologized. "Got the tea right here."

"Great," was all Ruby said.

Ritsuka could tell that the atmosphere at changed since she and Mash left. "Is everything okay?"

Ruby smiled and nodded. "Everything's all good."

Suddenly, someone grabbed Ritsuka from behind and she her arms and placed them behind her in order to keep her from running. It was Blake. She was now holding Ritsuka hostage for some unknown reason.

"Senpai," Mash said while deploying her shield.

"Stay back," Blake ordered. She put Gambol Shroud up to Ritsuka's neck for good measure.

"MASH! STAND DOWN!" Ritsuka quickly ordered.

Everyone quickly pointed their weapons towards the two. Blake tightened her grip on Ritsuka's arms.

Ritsuka was confused about what was going on. "Ruby, what are you doing?"

Ruby's face turned to one of disappointment. "I should've known better. I should've known that she would try to send someone else after us. Well you're not going to get the better of us. Not this time."

"She? I don't understand."

"Don't lie. You were sent by Salem to steal the Relic from us and most likely to kill me too."

"Salem? Who? What are you talking about, Ruby?"

"Playing dumb isn't going to work, Ritsuka. If that's even your real name," Jaune said stepping in.

Ritsuka was shocked. "Jaune?"

"I knew something was suspicious about you back on the Argus Limited. How you had a strange fascination with Ruby. How you quickly tried to become buddy-buddy with us so we'd lower our guard. How you acted like you didn't know what Beacon was just to strike up conversation with us. Well we've done with lies. From anyone. You aren't fooling-"

Before he could finish, a crimson spear appeared near Ruby's neck. A gust of wind followed suit. Scáthach had reappeared from her Spirit Form and now had Ruby hostage as well. The whole scenario was now a double hostage standoff.

"RUBY!" Yang shouted. She loaded her shotguns. "You let her go right NOW!"

"Release Ritsuka and I shall release her," Scáthach replied back.

"Scáthach," Ritsuka said. "Let her go."

"Sorry, Master, but I cannot. Not while you're still in danger."

Ritsuka could tell that Scáthach was not going to back down. It wasn't surprising, really, but she wasn't helping the situation either. That was when an idea came to her. She didn't like it, but she had no choice. She pulled her right hand free from Blake's grip and pointed her outer fist towards her Servant.

"By my Command Spell, I order you: Let her go, Scáthach!" Ritsuka ordered.

A red light flashed from Ritsuka's hand. As it dissipated, Scáthach felt the influence of the Command Spell overpower her. She released her grip on the silver-eyed girl, who quickly used her Pedal Burst completely separate herself now that she was no longer being held hostage.

Scáthach sighed. "Good grief. You sure are foolish sometimes, Master."

Ruby was confused. "Why did you have her free me?"

"To prove that we're not your enemies," Ritsuka explained. "I know it sounds crazy, but our encounter was more than just coincidence. Hell, even I don't fully understand it myself. All I know is that we were meant to help each other in one way or another. I know it's hard to believe, especially with how much you all have probably been through. But I at least know that we aren't here to hurt any of you."

Ruby stood there for a moment to contemplate her next move. Everyone waited anxiously for what she would say. The group still had their weapons out, still ready for a fight if the need came. Scáthach had her spear out as well. Mash was also ready to deploy her shield in case the situation demanded it.

Finally, Ruby spoke. "Blake…let her go."

With full trust in her leader's decision, Blake removed Gambol Shroud from Ritsuka's neck and released her grip from her other arm. She then turned back the rest of her friends.

"Stand down, everyone," Ruby asked.

The group respected her decision and did as she asked. Ritsuka was glad that Ruby was willing to give her chance. She walked over and went to give her new friend a hug, only to have Ruby stop her before she could.

"As much as I love hugs," Ruby began. "It is still weird that you said we were a fated encounter of some sort. So…with that, you're gonna have some explaining to do."

Ritsuka felt something like this was coming. Saying such things was undoubtedly strange, but if it meant gaining their trust, then it was worth it. But considering Ruby also mentioned someone unfamiliar to her that was most likely important, Ritsuka felt she was owed some answers as well.

"I think that goes for both of us," Ritsuka said.

Well, that's all I got this time around. I hope you enjoyed. I'll be back soon with another chapter.
