Ryuhou's eyes went from their coldness to shocked. 'She ran off. She ran off because of me! No! Scheris!'
--
Ryuhou quickly turned around and began running back to where Cougar had parked. It was too dangerous for Scheris to be wandering around by herself in this area. She knew that that native altar, Sato, Ken'ichi was around there somewhere. Even if he hadn't shown his face yet, he was probably waiting for the right time to make an appearance.
Ryuhou reached the Cougar's car and looked around. Cougar was not in sight, but at least Ryuhou knew he would be okay. Scheris's altar was too hard to form by herself. What if she got hurt?
Ryuhou started down the hill which was to the left of the road where Cougar had parked. It was somewhat steep, but he did not care. He rushed down it as fast as he could. When he reached the bottom he glanced ahead of him and saw Cougar coming back his way.
"Did you find her," Ryuhou yelled out to Cougar.
"I didn't see her anywhere," Cougar replied.
"Where could she have gone?"
Cougar thought for a moment. "What if we contact the commander. Elion can pinpoint her vitals."
"I don't even know where Elion is. Commander Sigmar said that him and Urizane were doing something important together."
"Shouldn't we at least let the commander know?"
Ryuhou looked behind him towards the bare ground. "No. I will find her. He doesn't need to know because if he did--"
Cougar went to the side of Ryuhou. "That is true. She couldn't have gotten too far, right? As far as I know, she doesn't even know where we are."
"I think she may have an idea. I figured the commander had told her about this mission, but now I'm thinking that he didn't. What worries me is if she knows where we are, she may go out to look for him herself."
"But why," Cougar asked confused.
"It's just a thought. I know she fears him for some reason. She never told me. But, you see, there is also an altar user that I fear, and I am chasing after him."
"The one who--"
Ryuhou stared down at the ground. "Yes, the one who killed my mother."
Suddenly, Ryuhou gasped. "I know where she is!" Without warning Cougar, he took off in the left direction. Only one place came to mind, and it was the only place that he knew that was in that area. Scheris knew it, too. He knew that. He definitely knew that.
--
Scheris finally had arrived at her destination. She was almost too frightened to go in, but she knew she had to. She had to be at the place where her and Ryuhou had been together. She wanted to talk to him, and she could talk to the memory that was kept in that building.
Scheris walked in slowly. The floors creaked and the walls were cracked. There were holes in the ceiling and in the floorboards. She was careful of where she walked. She knew her way around, and finally she made it to the place she wanted to be.
She walked straight in, as the door was off its hinges and just hung there to the side. Memories began to play themselves in her head. She closed her eyes and fell on her knees to the ground. She wanted them to stop. She began to scream to make them go away, but they would not. She could not move at all. All she could do was what she was doing already.
One memory made its way to the front and it paused. It was the memory that she had tried so hard to forget. She could still hear the screaming and the crying. She could feel the blood on her skin. The memory was making itself come to life. 'No! Please stop! Please stop it!'
"Please just stop!"
Tears began to make a trail down her cheeks. She tried to push the thought out of her mind. She sung to herself quietly, a song that her mother had taught her when she was just a little girl.
--Flashback--
A younger Scheris, about seven years old, sat on the floor in the kitchen as an older woman, in her thirties, stood in front of the small stove cooking dinner. This woman had blue hair and violet eyes that danced. She looked so fragile. Her skin was papery and she had scars all over her arms and legs. She wore a white flannel shirt and black shorts that went to just above her knees.
"Mother?"
"What is it, Scheris," the older woman replied.
"Is that man coming back again today? He scares me, and he's mean to you."
"Oh, Scheris, there is nothing to worry about. Don't think of such things."
Scheris's mother turned off the heat on the stove and removed the pot. She poured its contents into two bowls then sat them on the table. "It's time to eat."
That night when Scheris was put to bed, she didn't want her mother to leave. Her mother sat down with her.
"Mother, can you sing my song?"
Her mother smiled. "Of course." She began to sing.
Nen nen kororiyo okororiyo
Boyawa yoikoda nenneshina
Boyano komoriwa dokoe it ta
Anoyama koete satoe it ta
Sato no miyage ni nani morata
Denden taikoni sho no fue
Sho no fue
/By the time the song ended, Scheris was already asleep./
--End Flashback--
Scheris laid down on the floor and curled up into a fetus position. She sung the lullaby again quietly. As she sung, her eyes started burning from the tears she cried, but she still couldn't stop the wetness from coming down her face. She began to get tired, and she closed her eyes. Within minutes, the world was dead to her as she slept peacefully dreaming about her mother.
About thirty minutes after she had fallen asleep, a sound was heard from outside the building. Scheris immediately woke up. She stared out into the hall to see who was making the sound. Scheris stood up and ran out the door into another room. When she entered the room, she shut its door and stayed quiet.
Whoever had entered that building was heard walking down the hall. Scheris heard the person stop in front of the door of the room she was hiding in.
Scheris realized that if Ryuhou found her missing, he would come to this place first. After all, the building had been abandoned quite some time ago. No one ever entered it anymore from what it looked like. The door began to open.
With the room being dark and the light coming from the hall, all Scheris could see was a shadow. But when she saw that shadow, she knew that Ryuhou had actually came for her and that he really did care. So, when the door opened all the way, Scheris said one word to the person in front of her. "Ryuhou!"

Author's Notes: The song used here is called "Edo Lullaby". It is a traditional Japanese children's song. In English, it actually reads "Lullaby of Tokyo" because 'Edo' was the name for Tokyo back in the Edo period before it became the capital of Japan. This is the song translated into English.
Sleep, sleep,
little one, sleep.
You're a good baby,
now go to sleep.
Do you know
where your nurse has gone?
Gone to her village
she won't be long.
What will she bring baby
when she does come?
A flute so lovely
and a thunderous drum
And a thunderous drum.
Hope you enjoyed the fifth chapter! I'll update soon.
