"Where is it?!"

Nate was frantically throwing stuff out of his closet as Whisper and Jibanyan jumped to the side to avoid being hit by flying debris.

"Nate? What's gotten into you?"

Nate stopped throwing random stuff out of his closet, only because there was nothing left in there, and said in a panic,

"I wanted to show you guys something, but I can't find it in here and it wasn't in my desk drawer!"

Nate picked up the things he had thrown out of his closet in his frantic search and quickly threw them back into there, hoping that his mother didn't come up to check his closet later. The last thing he wanted was a lecture on keeping his closet clean.

"What exactly were you looking for, Nate?"

"A necklace that my grandfather got made for me. While he did die before I was born, he was aware that he would have grandkids someday and got the necklace made for his first grandchild, but he never got the chance to give it to me himself."

Nate sighed sadly as he sat on his bed.

"That necklace is one of the few things I have of him and I don't even remember where I last saw it. I wanted to show it to you guys since we're friends, but I can't find it."

Jibanyan absentmindedly placed his paw on his collar, faintly remembering Amy giving it to him and he said,

"We'll help you look, Nyate. If it's that important to you, then we won't rest until we find it.

Nate just smiled as he, along with Jibanyan and Whisper, continued searching the room.

Meanwhile, in Katie's room...

Katie opened her jewelery box for the umpteenth time, hoping that the necklace that her grandfather had gotten made for her would just magically appear back in the box. She and the Koma Brothers had already searched her room top to bottom looking for it, but found nothing.

I guess even with Yo-kai magic, my necklace can't just appear when I want it to...

She sighed sadly as she felt the Koma Brothers hug her, trying to make her feel better.

"Let's go for a walk, zura. That might help you."

Katie wasn't sure how, but Komasan somehow managed to make her smile. Granted, she wasn't sad that often, but still.

"Well, since we're going out anyway, maybe you can ask Nate to help you look."

Katie thought over what Komajiro had said and nodded.

"Alright. Let's go see Nate and ask for his help."

*****

Nate buried his face into a pillow and groaned. The three of them had searched the whole room, including rechecking his closet and cleaning it back up afterwards, but they still couldn't find the necklace.

"This is bad."

Whisper nodded as he sighed. He had gone behind the desk and under the bed, only to come out with dust covering his body and a few dollar bills that Nate told him that he could keep since he somehow still had all the money he made from fighting Yo-kai.

Oh, right. I still owe Jibanyan that Chocobar for fighting Brushido. I'm amazed he hasn't been reminding me about it yet. Then again, he has been looking a little sad while we were searching. I'll probably ask him about that later.

Nate got up and said,

"I'm going for a walk. Maybe it'll calm me down a little. You guys want to come?"
