Chiyo forgot to breathe after seeing that familiar face. No matter how much Kenta shakes her, She still kept her eye on that direction. Is it really him? How? How did he got here? Did he die, too? Why didn't he recognize me? Many questions swirls around Chiyo's head. Then, Suddenly her vision turned dark and she passed out. Kenta caught him, panicking. Yura, too, lose her composure and struggled to carry the ice creams, her bag and Chiyo's bag. Kenta carried Chiyo to her home. On their way there, Akihiko saw this scene and caught up to them then took Chiyo from Kenta, forcibly. In his panic, Kenta lost his balance and fell down in his butt. With the adrenaline rush and panic, Kenta glared at Akihiko not knowing who this guy is and prepared himself to a fight. "Who are you? What did you do to my Hime?" Akihiko's face was dark, showing viciousness that he never knew he has. He was ready to kill this guy when Yura stood in front of Kenta.
"Akihiko-kun, wait! He didn't do anything! Chiyo passed out suddenly, so we wanted to bring her home which is the nearest place from school. Chiyo knows him. She said he's her childhood friend, too." The Usually-quiet Yura hurriedly explained. Her face pale. The situation was weird for her from the start. That man that bumped to Chiyo has a weird Aura, an Aura she also saw around Chiyo. But that man's Aura is much darker and stronger. Just being around it for a short while cause Yura to lost her strength. If Chiyo didn't passed out suddenly, Yura would be sitting on the ground from fright!
Akihiko observed Kenta for while, Seeing that he looks kinda similar to the younger Kenta in his memory, He let him go. Then, He fix his hold to Chiyo in Princess-carry. " I'll carry her, Yumi-san might get scared seeing a stranger carrying her daughter." He simply explained then walked briskly to Chiyo's home. Akihiko's words annoyed Kenta a bit but it wasn't the right time to fight this annoying guy.

"Brother, is it really okay to make yourself known to those kids? Our kind maybe strong, but we're not omnipotent. The others might noticed what's happening." A beautiful girl with white, silky hair reaching her shoulders stood next to the guy that bumped to Chiyo awhile ago. The man ignored his sister, They're watching Akihiko and the rest bring Chiyo home. And when they put aura in their eyes the see the Aural wings that protects Chiyo. The man smirked, thinking it's futile to put protection on the kid. 'Sooner or later, that girl will be my toy...'

Yumi was shocked seeing her daughter being carried by Akihiko, followed by two other people she doesn't know. Yura bowed to Yumi, saying a brief greeting before entering but Kenta didn't just greet Yumi. He introduced himself to you then told her what happened. Yumi is thankful that her daughter has friends that could help her in emergency situation like this. Akihiko, familiar with Chiyo's house, laid Chiyo to her room. Then, He quickly took out his phone. He was about to search what needs to be done if anyone passed out like Chiyo when Chiyo slowly opens her eyes. "Chi-chan... How are you feeling? Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Akihiko was about to go out and call Yumi when he noticed Chiyo clenched his uniform. The clenched hand was trembling, it worries Akihiko so he took it and held it in both his hand. He want to stop her from trembling. To assure her that she's okay. That she's safe as long as he's there, no one can touch her.
Feeling his warm hands Chiyo looked at Akihiko with misty eyes, "I'm... I'm confused... I'm... I-I'm scared." When she finally admitted her fear, Chiyo broke down in tears. She felt Akihiko gently pats her head along with the warmth in her hand. Chiyo continued to cry with all her fears, frustrations and confusion. Then, She hugged Akihiko losing herself to tears.
Yumi heard her daughter crying, which never happened before. And Fear slowly took place in her heart. What happened that caused her very sensible and mature daughter to cry like this? Not knowing what to do, Yumi called Yoshikazu. That night, Yoshikazu went home early. He can't focus at work, knowing that something upsets her daughter. Chiyo didn't even cried like this when some perverts grabbed her. Yoshikazu saw two other kids at home, Akihiko and Kenta. Yoshikazu was a bit surprised to see Kousuke's son back while Akihiko is not that surprising. That kid is basically like a son to him now, with how frequent Akihiko visits and calls Chiyo, He can't help but trust this kid.
Chiyo fell asleep after an hour of crying in Akihiko's arms. Her tears soaked Akihiko's blazer uniform which Yumi offered to wash, quickly. Without the blazer, he looks a little bit mature. like a little adult, Along with the frown and a serious face. Yoshikazu sat in the sofa next to the two boys worrying about his daughter, He just checked on Chiyo then he left the room. He didn't want to disturb her rest. Yoshikazu, turn to Kenta knowing from Yumi that this guy, and another classmate, was with her daughter when she passed out. "Kenta, Can you tell me exactly, with all the details, what happened to my daughter?"
Kenta frowned, trying to recall anything amiss when Chiyo suddenly froze and passed out. "No, nothing else, Uncle Yoshi. It's same with what I told Auntie Yumi, A guy bumped into Chiyo... She almost fell down, the guy grabbed her, he smirked then left... Then, Chiyo froze and later passed out. She looks frantic before passing out. And I tried shaking her to get her attention but it's like her mind is elsewhere... That's it. I'm sorry, Uncle. That's really all I know." Yoshikazu has a suspicion with the guy that bumped to her daughter but it's still not enough. He turned to Akihiko, asking... "What about you Aki-kun? Did Chiyo say anything when she cried in your arms?" Akihiko clenched his hands in his trousers, recalling how Chiyo said she's scared. The memory overlaps with a much older memory, and it made him feel weak and helpless.
