| Having woken up before the tired group of last night, Luke found himself walking through the empty rooms with a quick pace, before going into Carlos and Shobatsu's room, with the urgent question: "Has anyone seen Iko around?"

| Carlos grumbled something along the lines of "Wslgn... gerw..." and rolled over.
Shobatsu's eyes flicked open, and he stretched, cat-like, tail stiffening for a moment as he reached out with his front paws.
"Last I saw he waaaas with you," he said, an audible crack being heard from the kitsune's small body in mid-sentence.
He looked up at Luke, seeing the worried look in his eyes, and sighed.
"Perhaps we should take a look outside...?" he suggested. | |

| Luke nodded without audible response, quickly turning around and moving back out into the hall, moving towards the foyer, bringing the display up on his watch. ~He's still alive...~ Luke thought to himself, crawling to the outside, taking a look around the immediate area, looking for signs of track or a struggle... the latter, definitely, there was no sign of.
"Why would he just run off like this..." Luke asked, mostly to himself, still looking around the general area. "Iko... where are you..." | |

| "Please..." Luke implored the fish, "find Iko, and lead him back to where you sense Shobatsu..."
Hoping the fish would understand, Luke looked around again, seeing a broken branch to his left... other than that, there was no trace, and there was definitely nothing close enough to be following, on the physical front.
~Going out alone for me is especially dangerous... we'll be vulnerable while looking... such a bind...~ Luke thought...

| The piranhas' eyes opened, and they were suddenly alert, sniffing the air, circling around, investigating the ground. And then...
All six, as one, sped off in one direction. They'd tracked Iko across miles of burning, blood-soaked city, to a different dimension, and over hundreds of miles of barren wasteland. If anyone could find him, they could.
...
Meanwhile...
Shobatsu let out a grunt of effort as all the stored light thrust out from his body, forming into hundreds, no, THOUSANDS of tiny firefly-like lights. All the lights swirled around the room, filling it with a bright light, with a strangely hypnotic effect. Then, as though from some mental command, they all poured out of the door and vanished into the sky.
Shobatsu sat down, rubbing his temples. He'd done what he safely could. For now, he had to hope Iko knew what he was doing.
. . .
Meanwhile, thousands and thousands of miles away...
Snow swirled across the dark landscape. Giant dune-like snowdrifts formed over night, and moved in the next. Nothing could easily survive here, and yet...
... A bright light became visible in the darkness. As it approached, it became visible as hundreds and hundreds of little lights. The firefly-like creatures seemed frantic, as though completely lost, but rushed on and soon vanished into the flurry of crystal ice. | |

| Shobatsu walked out of the door, two tails curling up slightly at the sudden exposure to the cold morning air.
"It wouldn't be safe to go out on our own. Carlos needs more rest to be able to function effectively, and without Iko you won't be of much use in a direct confrontation. We've done all we can at the moment. For now, however, I suggest we step inside before you catch cold."
The fox smiled. He could probably even help if Luke did catch cold, though he wasn't completely sure. He'd cured all kinds of wounds, even regrown limbs, but the common cold had always been his greatest, most resilient enemy. | |

| Luke looked over at Shobatsu, silently nodding in response, no words immediately coming to mind in this stressful situation. "Yes... you're right..." he said, turning, and heading back to the shelter with Shobatsu...
When inside, he looked at his watch... there was still no signal... this was what worried him the most. In other situations, Iko simply left a signal, like when Luke first found him in the fog on the other side.
"What if... he doesn't want to be found?" Luke asked, after thinking about this for about a minute. | |

| "Then I'm sure he has his reasons," said Shobatsu soothingly.
"Besides, I'm confident that either the fish or my fireflies will find him. We'll find him. Don't worry."
The fox smiled reassuringly. He trusted Iko's judgment. He was sure the wolf wouldn't do anything foolish without having thought long and hard on it beforehand. | |

| ((He was sure the wolf wouldn't do anything foolish without having thought long and hard on it beforehand. So, what, he can think long and hard, and THEN be foolish? )) Luke looked over at Shobatsu for a moment, marvelling at how calm he was in all this... although it seemed absurd, he always saw Shobatsu as more connected to Iko than most other DaCre... perhaps he had an instinct about this that even Luke, as tamer, could not have about Iko. "I see... you're right..." Luke replied, reassuring himself a bit, before glancing at his watch, blankly. ~Iko... I pray you know what you're doing... please, stay safe...~ | |
