Chapter 3

Crow spent most of the day cooped up in his room, looking for answers. "Hmm, it would be easier if I knew his name. Guess I should put this on hold." He sighed then remembered the flashback he had and the dream he kept having. "They're obviously related, but why are they showing up now? This is getting annoying." He walked outside to get fresh air and clear his mind.

"So, he really doesn't remember anything from then." Shinji said. Jack nodded, sighing from tiredness. "They really were inseparable, until that day. I honestly wonder what happened." Jack shook his head at Shinji's statement then said, "Maybe we should help him out with this?" Shinji shrugged then started searching the web.

"Hey, I'm back. I brought company too." Yuto shouted. Ruri came rushing down the stairs. "Yuya! It's been too long." she said as she hugged him. "So, where's Shun, Yuto? He shrugged then went up to Shun's room. He found Shun collapsed on floor. He was fine, but just unconscious from whatever happened. Just as Yuto laid him down, he opened his eyes.

Shun didn't know what was going on. He was browsing through the internet to gain more info on his dream and the meaning of what you see in them. "Dude, was I out?" Yuto nodded then asked what happened. "I don't really know. I wasn't doing anything strange, but I did hear someone calling my name in desperation." Yuto suggested that he rest and that he was probably just tired from staring at the screen. Yuto confiscated Shun's laptop and phone so he wouldn't be tempted.

Crow went to the area where he had the recurring dream. Sure, he recognized the place but who wouldn't? Everyone always came here to play, relax and be happy. He found himself standing in front of a certain tree, though, they all looked the same. He heard children laughing but there were none in sight. As he backed away, the laughing grew quieter then stopped. He moved closer to the tree and the laughing started again.

"What the...?" he said quietly as he rounded the tree. Then he heard someone say, "Hey! Be careful! I've fallen out of a tree and it wasn't fun nor cool, Crow." The other child giggled. Crow couldn't see anything but heard the voices loud and proud. "One day, I'm gonna make a difference. To end this whole Tops and Commons thing." He waited for more but that seemed to be the end. "Hmm, whoever this boy is, we seemed to have confided in each other." He stayed there under the tree for awhile then made his way home.

Sora was waiting outside of Jack's. Shinji opened the door and let him in. "You're good with gathering information and all that right?" Jack asked. Sora nodded then asked, "First things first, why do you want me to find this information? Next, what's in it for me?" Jack sighed then walked over to Sora. "Look, I'm not planning world domination here. It's just simple info. I just want you to dig up what you can of Crow's past." Sora rolled his eyes then agreed.

After Sora left, Shinji asked, "Do we have to find out more about his past? He seems fine to me." Jack glared at him then said, "Put yourself in his shoes. Wouldn't this be driving you crazy too?"
