"M-Miki? And Aya? In Heavenly Host?" Yoshiki couldn't believe what he was hearing. His sister, Miki had died just a bit before his daughter Miki was born. So, he named his daughter after his sister.

Some of the survivors of Heavenly Host considered naming their children after those who died, but all it did was resurface painful memories they wanted to forget. But Yoshiki's sister was different. They were closer, so it was more devastating. He wanted to forget Heavenly Host. But he wanted to remember his sister.

And now his daughters. He would do anything for them. Including going back to a place he wished to forget. Whatever happened, he wouldn't let his children die.

Yoshiki held Ayumi close as she wept into his shoulder. "Is there a way to get them back?" He asked gently.

Ayumi hiccuped. "We n-need to go back, appease the s-spirits, and do our backwards charms."

Riku Mochida herd crying from the room across the hall from the one he was in. He had no idea where he was, or why he was here, but crying could mean Kana, or even his cousins, Jun or Ren.

"Hello?" Riku asked. There seemed to be someone sitting in a chair in the coroner, so he approached them.

"Wait!" A child's voice said from behind him. It sounded like a girl.

Riku turned around to see a girl in a torn red dress. She had black hair and light grey skin and black eyes. She seems to be the one that was crying.

"W-Why?" Riku asked. This little girl couldn't tell him what to do!

"T-That person... I-Isn't alive." The girl said and proceeded to wail about how scared she was. Riku instantly thought she was annoying.

"Isn't alive? You mean they're dead?" Riku found that hard to believe. He walked over to the person and put his hand on their shoulder. It was cold, sticky, and wet.

Riku pulled his hand away and saw it was coated in a red liquid. If what the little girl said was true, it was probably blood. He looked at the shoulder of the person and noticed there was a deep hole in it. The red liquid seemed to be from it.

"I told you." The little girl said from behind Riku. He turned around to see her trembling.

"What's your name? And how old are you?" He asked without showing any mercy for the scarred young girl.

"I'm Sachiko Shinozaki. I'm seven years old." The young girl answered. "Who are you?"

"I'm Riku Mochida. I'm thirteen." Riku answered. "Do you know how to get out of here?"

"M-Maybe we should start by looking for a door?" Sachiko suggested.

"Who's 'we'?" Riku snapped.

"I-I was hoping we could search together." Sachiko said sadly. "So we can't?" She sniffed.

Riku groaned. "Fine. But I don't want any complaining or crying."

"Yay!" Sachiko exclaimed.

"Let's go look for a door. I don't want to be stuck here longer then I have to.

Meanwhile

"Hey, Naomi?" Ayumi asked over the phone. She sat in the passenger seat in her car, with Yoshiki driving. "Can you and Satoshi meet us at Kisaragi Academy? Like, now? It's really important."

"Oh... Um, sure. We're on our way." Naomi answered and hung up on Ayumi.

Ayumi then proceeded to call Yuka. "Hey, are you still at Kisaragi?" She asked.

"Yeah, why?" Yuka asked and answered.

"I'll explain when we get there. 'Kay?"

"...Sure."

Ayumi hung up and sighed as the car pulled into the parking lot of Kisaragi Academy.

"I'll protect you." Yoshiki said.

"I know you will."
