It was quiet at the moment. There wasn't much activity going on aside from a little girl, wandering down the hall. She was not in the best of moods. "Stupid Toshi. You were supposed to wait for me," she grumbled to herself, glancing down the hall she was passing to see if there was anyone there before continuing on. She had to be careful. With how quiet the building was, anyone could be hiding and that meant filth monsters as well.

Nami wasn't by herself. There were two others with her and when she had to go, she had asked them to wait considering she wasn't able to defend herself well.

"Darn it... where are they?" she let out a sigh, looking down another hallway. There was no way she took that long. Also there was no signs of struggle either. Not that, there was a chance. Toshi was one of the best. Anyone who tried to fight him, was defeated instantly. There wasn't anyone better than him.

"Toooshiiii?" the girl quietly sang.

Suddenly the girl felt something rush past her from behind. Instantly she stopped. That was not a good sign.

"T-Toshi?" she called out, nervously while looking around. She turned around, hoping he would be there, but there was no one there.

However, when she turned back to face forwards, she bumped into a cloaked man.

The girl gasped, as she jumped back and saw the face. He had the mask on.

"You should know better to be traveling by yourself," the masked figure remarked. She couldn't see his expression due to the mask.

The girl instantly began to shiver, and tried to step back. Her mind was telling her to run, but her body would not respond out of fear.

The man then reached behind his cloak to pull out a small item. "It's time for you to come with me," he growled, as he pressed the button and the cage appeared.

The girl gasped. Now her body responded and she turned to run, but the man instantly caught her. "No!" the girl cried out, "Toshi!"

Suddenly the man let out a cry of pain. He froze and his grip loosened on her arm. The girl instantly ran forwards and turned around when she heard a thud. The masked man had fallen and in his place, was another person, only this person the girl recognized.

"Toshi!"

"You should have stayed where you came back from," the man named Toshi just replied, recalling his DITE.

Instantly the girl pouted, "that's not fair. You should have stayed where I left from."

"Relax, Nami," another girl appeared from behind Toshi. It was her sister, Novia. "You appeared in a different area from where you left."

The girl blinked, "huh? But it looked the same?"

"Because it was the same area on a different floor," Novia replied.

Nami blinked and then realized and laughed nervously, scratching the back of her head, "well that explains a lot then. Thanks for saving me, guys!"

Novia rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed by how her sister still struggled with the basics

"I'm still trying, Novi! It's not fair how just because you have more kei, you can judge me," Nami protested.

"It's not that. You need to focus more." Novia replied.

"I am focused!"

"My, my, it seems things aren't going well."

The two turned around to see another man appearing. "Hiya, Ryo!" Nami greeted him.
