Disclaimer: I do not own +anima.
Sorry about the spelling typo in the last chapter. Here's chapter 4! –Max'sgirl2013
"You're going to take his anima?!?" squealed Cooro. Husky whacked him with his stick.
"Be quiet, Cooro! Someone might be nearby!" he scolded.
"I'm not taking his bear anima," said Soline. "Just the mad bear one, Amurui."
"Oh. That's good," said Cooro.
"Are you ready, Senri?" asked Soline. Senri nodded. "Then give me your arm." Soline grabbed Senri's marked arm and closed her eyes. When she withdrew her hand, on her palm was a glowing sphere of light. In the sphere, the shape of a bear was prominent. Senri stared at it with a look of wonder. Then, Soline released her grip, and the sphere began to float away into the night.
"Gone," said Senri. He looked at Soline in a strange way.
"Yes. He's gone," she replied. "Forever."
"Thank you."
After this ordeal, the group and Soline finally went to sleep. When they woke up, the debate continued over if they should take Soline with them on their travels. After a bit of talking, and a couple of head whacks for Cooro, the 4 +anima temporarily took Soline into their group.
The boys spent another day at the camp while Nana and Soline went into town to get some better clothes for Soline to wear.
"When are they going to be back?" said an irritated Husky. "I'm tired of putting up with Cooro."
"Hey Husky," said Cooro. "Want to hear another joke?"
"NO! No more jokes!" screamed Husky. Just then, the girls came back, Soline wearing a pale blue dress.
"What took you so long? Cooro was torturing all of us with his jokes!" yelled Husky.
"Oh, come on. They weren't that bad," countered Cooro. "So where are we going to go?"
"Let's go to Kelmen," said Soline. "I want to see my parents."
The others agreed, and 5 minutes later, they were on their way. On the trip, which lasted about a night and a day, they mostly talked about some of their previous adventures. Soline and Cooro spent most of the time talking to each other. When they reached the village, Soline went in alone. The other waited about a quarter mile outside the village. It was dark when she came back, he head hanging down.
"Hi Soline. How'd it go?" Cooro asked.
Soline didn't answer. When she looked up at him, Cooro saw that she had tears running down her face.
