"So we know for sure Database caught him" says Jack

"Indeed and he has to be in the school due to how fast they got flex into the auditorium" I say

"So the question is where in school" said Shizu

"Maybe a class room which isn't being used?" Said Rikku

"Unsure, maybe but someone would hear them" said Kiyo

"Are there any dorms that aren't being used?" Asked Clover

"I think" said Iris

"I think the nurse's office has a basement" said Davis

"I would say the dome but I don't think so" said Kat

"Unless there is some secret there" said Shizu

"Those are the places we will look" I say "Rikku and Shizu in the school"

The two nodded "Kiyo, Yuuto and Sapphire for the dorms" and also nodded

"Kat and Davis In the dome" I said

"Then me and Jack in the nurse's office" I say "then Iris and Clover can distract the teachers if need be"

"Alrighty" says Clover

"We will start our search tomorrow" I say

"Morning? Afternoon? Night?" Sapphire asked

"Either the morning or night, too many people will be out during the afternoon" I say

"Night would be easier" says Yuuto "the teachers will be around these areas in the morning getting it ready and running them during the afternoon"

"We will meet up when the sun starts to go down then go to our areas after that tomorrow" I say and everyone nodded

I sighed and just looked up at the roof

"Still can't sleep?" Asked Ronin

"No...." I say

"It's hard to I know" he says

I looked over to him "I am still sorry"

"Once again you have nothing to be sorry for" he says

"But I do, I couldn't save him" I say

"You were scared... you are a kid, it shouldn't have been your job" he says "it was mine"

"I...I just...I couldn't even help and now we are both stuck" I say "I tried so hard"

"I know, I know you did but hey be hapoy about that, most of our kind would have just went on living their lives" he says with a small laugh

"I'm only like this because of you" I say

"Don't say that, you have seen other monsters and how they are, you never had to stay" he said

"I mean when you take me in as a kid and I learn" I say

"As you grew you could have changed but didn't" he says

"I guess?" I say

He laughed again "what's funny?" I asked

"Just thinking abour when I found you" he says

"O-oh that was long ago, I was like 5-6" I say

"And I still remember it like it was yesterday" he says

"Stay close, Flex" I say and put out my hand

He went to grab it and nodded

"Good" I say and we kept on walking "there has to be something out here to eat..."

"Uh-" Flex started to look around

I looked around when I saw some bushes and looked at flex "stay by this tree"
He nodded and walked over to the bushes to see if there would any berries or something

'is there more area behind them?' I started to move it out of the way and went though

"R-Ronin?" Flex called out

"Uh- stay there" I saw and walked though

The bushes weren't to deep into a area, I could have liked leaped over them or something

There were more trees and bushes, though there was more light, maybe from a lantern or a candle

But right in the middle was a child, he had turned to look at me

He had black and white hair, purple eyes, some broken glasses that he most likely found on the floor, some ripped up overalls and a white short-sleeved shirt. He was holding a teddy bear though it was ripped up and missing an eye. He had small horns, tail and claws on his hands and feet

"Uh- hello" I say

He kinda backed up from me. Going from sitting on his knees to kinda only one of then

"I'm not gonna hurt you" I say

He goes into a sitting position with his legs crossed and looking at me

"Do you have a name?" I asked

"......." he stayed quiet

"Can you talk?" I asked

"Y-yes" he says

"Name?" I asked again

"Uh...uh... a- at...arte..." he was trying to remember it

He was young and by himself so he most likely didn't hear his own name much

"Arte...mhm... artemis?" I asked

"Uh- mhm" he nodded his head

'I am kinda shocked he has a name, most children don't remember or aren't given one since the parents leave them when they can eat on their own, sometimes when they can walk... or before that'

I put out my hand "do you want to come with me?"

He looked at me confused

"Like live with me, you are too young to be alone" I say

He keeps looking at me then grabs my hand and gets up. I smiled "now don't be scared but there is someone else that stays with me, around your age"

He seemed nervous but nodded

I smiled and lead him back over to where flex was so we could go on our way
