/Shino's pov\

Me and a few others were in the library studying for an upcoming test

I flicked the pen back and forth between my fingers, the pen hitting the table

I let out a sigh

"You good?" I opened my eyes and looked at Rikku who was sat across from me

"Yeah I'm fine..." I say

"We understand if you aren't" said Jack placing some books onto the table

"Yeah! I mean you guys helped me out" said  Rikku

"I guess...I don't know" I say "it's not really about database, well it kinda is...its confusing"

"A lot of things going on are confusing" said Shizu as they sat next to Rikku

"That's true" I said with a small laugh

My mind kept going back to the talk me and umbra had

I can easily put you behind bars" I said

"Why haven't you?" He asked

"...." I didn't know what to say

"There is something stopping you" says Umbra "I wonder if you even know it"

'the thing is...I think I know why' I sighed and grabbed a book opening it

'database had been on Zack's cause forever, not only that but Umbra always seems tired or his parts of his body are different like the horns'

I was just staring at the book while thinking 'info...I cam learn more behind the scenes, see what's up. I mean I kinda already started to dig my way into this mess, plus I guess it's a way of avenging database, always wanted Zack behind bars, alwayd wanted to find out what he was up to, and find that kid...'

"You good?" I look to the right where Jack was sitting next to me

"Erm, yeah sorry just the tests and stuff..." I lie

"I asked him already" said Rikku

"He was just staring at the book! I got worried" Jack said defending himself

I gave a small smile before speaking "alright alright, let's get back to work"

'I have someone to meet up with tonight' I was happy with the plan I just came up with

----

'god where is he?' I thought while jumping to the next roof 'I'm usually able to find him easily'

I was making my way across a few more roofs when I finally found him

"Umbra" I said

He was sitting at the edge of the roof

"What do you want stalker?" He asked

I sighed "not a stalker"

He gave a small laugh "yeah yeah" he got up and faced me
