Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo
Saa Ai ni kogareta mune wo tsuranuke

Cleave apart the memories of those faraway days with your hands
End the breath of sadness
Come on, pierce through my chest made anxious by love

Asu ga kuru hazu no sora wo mite Mayou bakari no kokoro moteamashiteru
Katawara no tori ga habataita Doko ka hikari wo mitsukerareta no ka na

Looking at the sky in which the tomorrow will come, I don't know what to do with my heart that is only lost
Birds by my side flew away- I wonder if they found light somewhere

Naa Omae no se ni ore mo nosetekurenai ka?
Soshite ichiban takai toko de okizari ni shite yasashisa kara toozakete

Come now, won't you let me ride on your back, too?
Then keep far away from the kindess that I deserted at the highest place

Kimi no te de kirisaite Tooi hi no kioku wo
Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo

Chapter 12: A Diamond From Black Dust

"Ugh! This is getting us nowhere!" 
Edward whispered harshly as he slammed down yet another folder, empty of the information he was seeking. 
"You're just lucky the Colonel had a meeting today with one of the commanders from the troops they sent to the North." Sheska said blatantly, setting another stack of papers onto Ed's desk in the library. Ling and Hayden were sifting noisily through random bookshelves, but no sign of a Solf J. Kimblee so far. Alphonse was babysitting Boston, playing with his tiny paws and poking his tubby belly. 
"Thanks again for getting us in here unnoticed. I  swear I'll repay you." Edward said, casting his eyes upward from his stack of papers. Sheska just grinned and sorted through another stack of documents. 
"Ed! Have these, too." Ling smiled as he tossed more papers behind his head to Edward. Ed caught them angrily, snatching out of the air with a sharp snap of the arm. He cracked open yet another folder. This one was different though, stained yellow with age and torn up along the edges from burn marks. Ed slowly sifted through the papers, sorting them left and right....

Chapter 11: Good Cop, Ed Cop

"Woo-hoo! We're escaped convicts! " 
Ling tossed his shackled arms into the air as he continued to sprint along with Barry and Hayden. Hayden rolled her eyes as she pulled her cuffs forward, knocking Ling onto his face, still grinning. The mass murderer chuckled lightly at the misfortune of the prince of Xing. He pulled himself back up from the concrete ground and pouted. 
"Be quiet, Ling. The last thing we need to do is be caught." 
It didn't help of course that  Barry's suit was incredibly loud and created a clamor with every step he took. It wasn't exactly easy to tip toe in armor. 
"Woo-hoo...! We're escaped convicts...!" Ling whispered under his breath, waving a shoulder high fist in the air. Hayden had been leading the team for almost 15 minutes, darting through back alley ways and tip toeing past windows. 
"Gee, blondie; you act like you've done this before." 
Barry whispered from the very back of the chained team. Hayden could only snicker emptily at the comment.
