Finding Ash would have been a lot easier if she had something else to go buy other than his relatively small spirit energy. And since he was a soul, leaving a message on the journals wouldn't accomplish anything, since he couldn't actually touch or grab the device in his current state.

The only thing Yoruichi could do was to flash step around Paixao and hope that she could sense him sooner than later. And with Marona in tow, the Goddess of Flash did just that. Starting from the hotel in the center, she began heading left...

Reminding herself that she was carrying a passenger, she thought it would be a good idea to give her some advice. "Keep holding on to me until we reach him, but let me know if you're about to fall so that I can stop."

When Yoruichi had hinted of her speed, even Marona hadn't begun to comprehend just how fast Yoruichi had meant. She certainly knew now! It was almost incomprehensible to the girl, who had her arms wrapped carefully but firmly around Yoruichi's shoulders, hands clasped tightly to each other's wrists to avoid slipping. Moving this fast was exhilarating, and she found herself almost out of breath.

She nodded slightly to Yoruichi's instructions, having trouble finding her voice, but realized that wasn't going to do. Hastily she followed with an awkward verbal response, "O-okay! I will!"

She had a strong sense falling would be a VERY bad thing, so she tightened her grip to her wrists a little more.

All the while, she did what she could to keep her eyes peeled for a sign of Ash. It was a little difficult between the darkening 'sky' and concentrating on not falling off, but she strove to do her best, as she always did.

Indeed, the fading daylight was making it more difficult for Yoruichi to find Ash with her eyes. If their search really didn't turn up anything, then she would attempt it again, but in her black cat form instead. At least then she would be able to see in the dark.

For now though, Yoruichi kept focused on picking up his faint spirit energy. In the meantime, she attempted to ease some of Marona's obvious nervousness.

"Why don't you tell me a bit about Ash?" she asked. "The boy didn't exactly say much about himself when I met him."

It took a moment for Marona to collect her thoughts. So far this world had surprised her with the open mindedness towards her and her phantom guardian. And now finding someone who could even see him themselves ... it was a strange thing to wrap her mind around

She remained quiet, and thought about what Marona had just said. That was Ash was so determined to be reunited with her and why he was being so cautious and distrusting about Yoruichi. Heh, to think that people like that still existed in this day and age, she would have to give him more credit. "Both of you are very lucky to have each other around. Especially when you're in a city like this one."

Continuing to flash step her way through the rooftops, Yoruichi finally managed to sense the person she was looking for.

"Ash is nearby, I can feel him. Hang on tight."
