A/N: Hey guys! It's been a while but i have had a lot of reviews asking for a continuation of the story so here we go!

Guy and Aura arrived at the village in no time. Directing the Owlcat to the hut in which he left Belt and Eep, he felt a small jolt of excitement to be able to see her. A nagging feeling left him hoping that she wasn't upset with him for leaving her for the morning, but as he entered the small building he realized that she and Belt were gone. He paused at the entrance and his face became pinched in thought. His eyes narrowed at the ground and as he wondered where she would have gone.

Aura approached him from behind and came quickly to the same realization that Guy had. "They're gone?" She was filled with a sense of glee seeing that her and Guy might get more time together after all.

"We should start looking for her," Guy said. He turned away from the doorway and walked past Aura without paying her much mind. She nodded and followed close behind.

"I'm sure she's fine. She couldn't have left the village." Aura offered this in hopes of consoling him, if only a little. The idea of him being unhappy was not one she wished to entertain.

As though her words were a trigger, Guy was flooded with memories of their journey by foot. He knew that it was not beyond Eep to make the trip back to her family by foot. 'I knew she wasn't happy staying here, but would she really leave me?' He thought to himself. His heart caught on the words 'leave me', as though they were together. He wasn't sure exactly what they had, but he knew those words hurt, even just to think.

Eep followed Gill like a lost child with Belt gently held in her arms. He showed her everything the village had to offer and helped her understand all the things she asked about, which was nearly everything. Children darted around her feet and giggled endlessly as they chased and called after one another. She had only ever seen her younger brother and sister as she grew up. Thunk was a boulder and Sandy was insane. She had never seen groups of children this way before, and she was fascinated.

They walked past the seamstress hut and she watched in awe as the elderly woman put together pieces of hide and leather and slowly transformed them into clothing. Gill took her to the fields and she learned that the people here grew food in a controlled area, and then came back later to collect the fruits and vegetables that those plants bared. So many things that she could take back to her family that would help them live.

Her family. She stopped abruptly in the middle of the field as Gill continued across. In all her fascination she had almost forgotten that she had a family waiting, and most likely, worrying for her. Belt cooed up at her in concern. It didn't take long for Gill to notice that he no longer had a follower. He turned quickly around and made his way back to the now distraught Eep.

"What is it?" he asked gently his eyes searching.

"This is all really great, but, my family," she began, "Guy." Her heart jumped a bit at the mention of his name. Where was he? Why had he not come to find her yet? She had to find him and leave this place. She had to make it back to her family. Gill's brow creased for a moment and then in the blink of an eye he was giving Eep a comforting smile.

"Hey, don't worry. We'll find Guy. I'm sure he didn't go far."

Grug mounted the Junglecat with supplies strapped to his back. Guy called it a "back pack". Grug couldn't deny that it was a very useful tool for traveling. In fact, if Grug was going to be honest with himself, Guy had a lot of great ideas and what he lacked in strength he more than made of for with resourcefulness. Maybe a part of him would never let go of the overprotective feelings he had toward Eep, but she couldn't do any better than someone like Guy.

"Please bring them home," Ugga said, her eyes puffy from many tears shed. Gran nodded in great concern and Sandy, oblivious, perched atop her head. Thunk stood by Douglas.

"Be careful Dad," Thunk said with his bravest face.

"Take care of the family Thunk, I'll be back as soon as I can with your sister."

"And Guy," Ugga said sternly.

"Yes and Guy…" Grug muttered in his comic fashion.

The small family waved nervously as Grug set off, then, into the thick of the jungle. He knew that there were one hundred things that could have happened to the pair by now, but refused to think about them. Focus drove him onward, into the wilds to retrieve his daughter, and, in a way, son.

Guy ambled through the village with a watchful eye, and Aura was not far from his side. She didn't seem as concerned as he did, though, and this bothered Guy a little. He took a deep breath and exhaled. Maybe she was right, maybe he was being a little too overreactive. She had belt. He knew that she would know him well enough to know that he would never go far without him, or her. Or maybe she didn't.

His mind began racing with thoughts of the two of them. What if she really didn't know how deeply he felt for her? He never really expressed his honest feelings to her. They had held hands a few times, and made electrifying eye contact, but he didn't really know how to communicate his feelings to a girl. He had never really known another girl that wasn't his mother. A bit of defeat began to grow inside of him and he wondered if he would ever have the courage, and the understanding for that matter, to tell Eep what he truly felt for her.

"Oh, look!" Aura said suddenly, stopping short in the road and pulling Guy from his tumultuous thoughts. Before the two was an empty field that likely once held a crop, but now held only trampled grasses and the village children. They all seemed to be delighting in kicking a ball back and forth amongst themselves. The rules weren't clear but they all cheered 'Muka Muka!' when the ball made it past certain players.

"What are they doing?" Guy asked, his intrigue getting the better of him.

"It's a game called Muka Muka. There are four keepers, representing the four great gods of the sun, the moon, the earth, and the sky. The four representing the gods must keep the ball away from the common people. If a common human snatches the ball from a god, they are now that god, and the god who lost the ball becomes a common." Aura explained. "I haven't played since I was a child myself. Oh, let's play! Come on!" the village girl ran forth into the congregation of children and began seeking the ball from the gods.

"Aura, I, I would love to play, but I really think I need to find Eep first." Guy said, trying to be as assertive as possible.

"Muka Muka!" the children and Aura shouted as the ball bounced off of Guys leg. "You are the sun god now." Aura called out to him with joy and he could see that she had no intention of helping him until she was satisfied with her local game. With an awkward start, Guy kicked the ball to the nearest god and the game continued on.

"Hey, look at that," Gill said, pointing down at some children in the distance. They were running in an old field that once held corn.

"What is it?" Eep asked with renewed curiosity. He smiled at her, knowing that she was no longer in distress about Guy.

"It's a game called Muka Muka. I think that's what the kids are playing in the empty field. You want to learn how?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, let's go! And hey, maybe Guy is down there right now, just waiting for you."

Eep smiled and followed Gill out of the field. She gripped belt to her side and followed Gill out of the field and out towards the old field where the village children laughed and played, hearing the occasional shout of 'Muka Muka!'.

A/N: Well, there you have it. Hopefully it doesn't take as long for me to keep this story moving! Enjoy!
