I find this chapter to be very dark. Like it talks about death a lot. Not too much but still. Haha anywho, I hope my readers still find it enjoyable, so read on and Happy Hunting!

Chapter2: Seek

The ostrich-horse sniffed at Temeharo as he slept. The thing kicked his leg and made its strange bird-like noise.

At once Temeharo was awake and shifted back, preparing for battle. But there was no need, he just stared at the animal and then laughed.

"I suppose you haven't seen a star spirit around have you?" He asked the creature. It huffed and went for the hay in the stall. As it ate, Temeharo watched and just wished that he could find her already.

So he got up and was about to go looking again but something stopped him. He looked up. A girl hung upside down in the fixtures on the ceiling. She watched him grinning. It was her! Mitsuki! She had the same white hair and purple bows by her ears. She had the same purple star painted under her eye, and the same purple nails.

The only thing different was her clothing. At once Temeharo wondered if she may have kept her memories. But she fell - so that's impossible? Always when stars fell they look completely different each time they become a new star, so why is it Mitsuki stayed the same?

And the stars usually had different names but on occasion would keep their names. Mitsuki kept her name for the mission she met Temeharo, and the one to protect Ty Lee.

Temeharo learned that one of his names was Chintzu, which he found odd and was glad he had a new name.

"Why are you looking for her?" Mitsuki asked from up in the rafters. Temeharo grinned and stepped a little closer, looking strait up at her.

She watched him with big curious eyes as he stood just below her. She was going to find out why he was looking for her, and who he was.

"Because, she asked me to." He replied, wondering what she'd do. She gave him a strange look and then swung around and hung by her two feet and hands, still upside down.

"But, I don't know you," Mitsuki said. Temeharo still didn't know if she kept her name.

"Maybe now?" He swiped his hand over his head and the fake brown hair vanished back to magic dust, revealing his white and black hair.

He looked up at her and grinned. But she didn't recognize him at all. She just stared in wonder and finally shook her head.

Haro frowned. "Well, do you know anything about your last mission? Or falling?" He asked.

She didn't reply. Instead she let go with her feet and swung her arms a bit, then let go and dropped to the ground right in front of Temeharo.

She stood and looked him strait in the eye. "No." She mumbled. He tried to control the urge to kiss her as she stood no more than three inches from him.

But he didn't want to scare her away by doing so. "What about your current mission?" He asked.

Mitsuki stepped back and turned away. "Nothing." She whispered. "You can't know." She said.

"I'm a spirit too," Haro explained thinking maybe she'd tell him. But she still refused. "No. That doesn't matter," She said.

Then she turned back to face him with a smile. "So what makes you think that I asked you to find me?" She asks.

Haro became discouraged but wouldn't allow himself to give up. Mitsuki practically begged him to do this last time around. So he would keep his promise and do it.

"Um, sit down and let me explain," He told her. She took a seat on a hay bale and Haro sat beside her.

An hour later and Temeharo had explained the entire thing about stars and falling and memory loss and everything. He even gave her the details of her last mission, leaving out of course the part with any romance from him.

She was very shocked to hear this and at first refused to believe it. But something about the story of her last mission rang true.

"So I asked you to find me?" She asked. "Yes," Haro replied. "Why?" Mitsuki asked.

She didn't quite understand it all, since he'd left out the part of them being in love.

"Just because," He answered her with a smile. He was glad to have her back, even if it was only as acquaintances.

She turned to look at him. "And Altoru?" She asked. "Who?" Haro countered, a bit confused.

"Oh right, you'd know him as Great Terror," She corrected herself. He shrugged.

"You defeated him last mission," He said. Then Mitsuki remembered faintly, a memory of Great Terror, or Altoru, telling her something of great importance that would change her entire outlook of things.

"But. I remember a little," Mitsuki said. Temeharo was completely baffled. How?

"I remember-" She whispered. "How? That's impossible," Temeharo said, confused.

Then a voice came from behind them, they both looked and saw Yue, the Moon Spirit gliding over.

She smiled at Haro and reminded him of the last time he saw Mitsuki.

He was standing at the Arch as they prepared to leave. Mitsuki and him both had been crying slightly. Haro hugged her tight and then a tear slipped down his face and softly landed on her shoulder. It turned to a bright blue light and then vanished as if it had never been there.

"That kept her memory alive." Yue said, in an echoey voice. "That made her stay looking the same, and with the same name. That was a tear of real, true love. You kept her memory alive, deep down," Yue said.

Temeharo and Mitsuki stared at her ghostlike appearance and took it all in. Everything she said. Haro nearly jumped in his excitement for Mitsuki remembering.

He would've run to his love and kissed her but Yue wasn't finished. "But-" The Moon Spirit said. "She has to find it. It's inside her, but she has to find it first-" With that she disappeared in a bright flash of golden light, leaving behind a single obsidian key with gold strings attached a tiny purple flower.

Temeharo picked it up and looked at it. It was very complex, and looked to open a very large lock.

"We have to find the lock!" Mitsuki almost yelled. "That's my mission!" She said. Haro grinned. He'd help her with this, and it'd be just like old times.

"Yeah, I'll help you." He said. She smiled. She still had no idea that they'd ever been in love.

So the two set out to find this lock that would release her memories. All of them. But little did they know that this mission would be way more complicated than just finding a lock and opening it. This, would be a fight for life...

Ty Lee sat alone at home, Shang had taken Pema out to a park to play. So Ty Lee was alone.

She was sewing a patch on one of Pema's shirts when there was a knock on the door.

She got up to answer it. But there was no one there. She figured it was probably some kids playing a prank. But there was a long slender box on the porch.

So she picked it up and carried it inside. There was a note attached that simply read, 'From a friend'

Ty Lee opened the box, inside was something that terrified her out of her life. If dying of fear was possible she'd be dead ten times over.

Inside the small slender box was something Ty Lee had hoped shed never have to see in her lifetime again. Something that was a symbol to her and her only, no one else understood. To them this sick, twisted gift was nothing, to anyone else it would be harmless and sometimes even sweet.

But to Ty Lee it held much more meaning, it meant death.

Inside the box, was a white rose.
