Sandra and Matt walked through town. They were in China now. Matt had said he thought it was a good place to start. Sandra didn't know if she agreed or not but she didn't argue. Where they started looking was the least of her worries. She had woken up in the morning to the slightest throbbing pain in her right leg. It made her limp slightly but not enough as to where anybody else noticed. Sandra was thankful for that since she didn't want Matt to ask her any questions.

"Do you have any idea where to even look?" Sandra asked her brother after awhile. "Cause I don't."

Matt shook his head. "Not a clue, but we don't have anything to go on. This is as good of a place as any to start. Besides, there's someone here who can help us."

Sandra stared at him through narrowed eyes. "Who?" she asked.

"An old friend," Matt answered with a smile. Sandra blinked with confusion.

"You still don't give hints do you?" she asked.

"None what-so-ever," Matt answered with a teasing smile.

Sandra sighed. Typical Matt, she thought. She didn't argue though. If it was a friend she wasn't going to turn down a chance to see them. "So where are we meeting up with this person?" she asked.

"The Wall of China," Matt replied simply.

"Go-figure," Sandra sighed under her breath.

It didn't take them long to reach the wall. Sandra looked around for any familiar faces but she didn't see anyone she reconized.

"There she is," Matt said, pointing at a a girl who wore a black jacket over a green t-shirt. She had jeans and white tennis shoes. Her jacket hood was up so Sandra couldn't see her face.

Sandra followed Matt up to the girl. The girl turned to face them, smiling. She took her hood off to reveal short black hair and green eyes. "It's been awhile, Sandra, Matt," the girl greeted.

Sandra stared at her for a moment before a name popped into her head. "Leonora?"

"Who else would I be?" the girl replied.

Sandra smiled and hugged her old friend. "Glad to see you," she said.

"You too," Leonora replied. "I wish the circumstances were better though."

Sandra looked down at the ground. "You have no idea," she said.

"Our first order of buisness is to figure out how we're going to do this," Matt began. "Just going on a wild-goose chase is bound to backfire on us. We won't get anywhere like that and we need to make progress as fastg as possible. Any ideas?"

"What about Gingka and his friends?" Leonora suggested. "They're your friends, right Sandra?"

"Sandra already said no to them. She doesn't want to drag them into this," Matt explained.

"Oh," Leonora nodded. "Well, what about the others? What about Emma, Alex, Samara and Rydel?"

"Samara and Rydel maybe, but Alex is with Gingka and them, and Emma's with Ryuga," Sandra answered.

"We should call Samara and Rydel, and there are others too, like Erica," Matt said.

Sandra and Leonora both nodded. "We should do that as soon as we can," Sandra agreed.

"But will we be able to cover enough ground that way? Last I knew, you were good as sneaking around and I would imagine your evil self is too," Leonora pointed out.

"So, what are you suggesting?" Matt questioned, narrowing his eyes.

"If we want to cover as much ground as possible we should split up," Leonora answered.

"No way!" Matt growled, making both Sandra and Leonora flinch. "There's no way Sandra is going looking on her own! She's in more danger than anyone!" he added.

"Het! Last I checked I was going to do this on my own, and I don't mind danger, no matter how great it is!" Sandra growled.

"I thought Emma was helping you first," Leonora said.

"She was but then Kyoya asked me to come with him and it was like I was the rope in tug-a-war," Sandra explained.

"I don't care Sandra!" Matt snapped. "I'm not letting you do this by yourself! You know what will happen!"

Sandra took a deep breath and calmed herself down. This is no time to be arguing with him. "Matt, I know you're worried, but you know I can take care of myself. Plus, knowing my luck, I'll run into Kyoya and he won't let me leave his sight."

"Why? Why would he care so much?" Leonora questioned.

"Oh yeah. You don't know," Sandra said. "I've got a boyfriend, and his name is Kyoya Tategami."

"But...but..." Leonora tried to respond but no words came out of her mouth.

"I know, I know. Didn't see it coming," Sandra sighed.

Matt opened his mouth to say something but his eyes darted over to the wall. "Did you see that?" he asked.

"See what?" Sandra asked, following his gaze.

"Someone's watching us," Matt replied, darkly. He darted forward. "Come on!"

Sandra and Leonora exchanged a glance before following. They rounded a corner and almost ran into Matt, who had suddenly stopped. "Find anything?" Leonora asked.

"I know I saw someone!" Matt growled, gritting his teeth.

"Well, whoever it was, they're gone now," Sandra said. "Now, come on! Let me go by myself." When Matt didn't say anything she added, "I promise if anything happens I'll come find you."

Matt stayed silent for awhile longer before nodding. "Fine, but the minute something goes wrong, you let me know."

Sandra smiled and nodded. "Deal."

"Why don't we head out tomorrow?" Leonora suggested. Sandra and Matt both nodded their agreement before heading back to town.

Just to let you guys know, Samara, Rydel and Erica are more friends of Sandra that will come in later in the story. Those three and Leonora are all going to get boyfriends later. Samara and Leonora I have already picked two people but for Rydel and Erica I need some help. So review and let me know who you think should get together. Here's the matches for everyone so far:

Sandra-Kyoya
Alex-Tsubasa
Emma-Ryuga
Leonora-Nile
Samara-Toby
Rydel-?
Erica-?

Be sure to R&R :) Thanks
