"Tatsuo, do you really think there is a chance Kotori could be in this fire?" Haruko who ran through the fire looked at her husband in worry and concern for her missing daughter.

Tatsuo frowned, while he hoped Kotori wasn't in this fire, that was just it, hope that could be false. There was a chance she was in this fire.

"...It's better to look rather than not." Tatsuo responded as he continued to search through the fire with his wife.

"H-help!"

Both Itsuka parents saw and heard a person trapped underneath burning rubble. The two Itsuka parents immediately rushed over to the guy as they knew they could help him.

Tatsuo immediately used the watch as the green energy field surrounded his body like a second skin and enhancing his body's strength.

Tatsuo effortlessly lifted the rubble of the guy as Haruko helped him get away.

"T-thank you!" The guy sighed in relief as he looked at the two in gratitude.

"Your welcome. Can you walk?" Tatsuo asked as the guy nodded. "Good, you go that way, the fire is less intense there." Tatsuo pointed towards the direction where the fire was less intense.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I thought I would've died to that little girl!"

""Little girl?"" Tatsuo and Haruko said at the same time in confusion.

"Y-yeah, a little girl in a kimono and red hair, she was holding a giant flaming axe and killing and destroying everything with a smile on her face." The guy said as he ran away, leaving the two Itsuka's in confusion at what he said.

"Kotori...?" "Koto-chan?"

The Itsuka parents stared in shock at who and what they were seeing infront of them.

Kotori Itsuka, their daughter who was wearing a white kimono, holding a giant battle axe and was surrounded by fire....

Along with dead bodies with injuries that seemingly came from an axe and were burned at the same time.

She was also holding her axe above her head and was about to swing it downwards towards a little girl with white hair who was unconscious on the ground.

Kotori put the axe down as she turned to look at the Itsuka parents. The two Itsuka's were relieved that the white haired little girl wasn't copped with the axe.

"Ah! Mom! Dad! Can you two play with me~" Kotori said with a maniacal grin on her face. "Everyone I play with keeps falling asleep~"

The two Itsuka stared in shock and horror as they took a good look at Kotori.

Besides being surrounded by fire and holding a battle axe, she was covered in blood.

"Kotori....did....did you do this?" Haruko stared at her....daughter? If what she was looking at was even her daughter, killed all these people and possibly caused this fire.

"My playmates~? They're just tired after I played with them~ They're no fun and are really boring~" Kotori looked at then with a childlike look and smile which would usually look cute and adorable if she wasn't surrounded by dead bodies of her own making and blood covering her.

"Kotori....let's just go home...okay?" Tatsuo spoke as she slowly approached Kotori and was trying to ignore all the dead bodies.
