"Come on and bring it you loser!" Some bullies are pushing Tomoe around back and fort.
"Hey you boys get out of here!" Shiki now in a white kimono appears tells them and the bullies ran off in a fright because they see her scary.
"Miss Namikaze can you hide me?" Tomoe seemingly taken by Shiki's presence ask her to help him hide.
"Why?"
"I'm a murderer!" He claimed.
"I'm the same as you", Shiki agrees to since she's the same as him accepting his status.

Namikaze/Uzumaki Home
"You know Tomoe you might be as well good with the ladies", Shiki said to Tomoe who was laying on the floor while she's on the bed.
"You really think so Shiki?"
"Believe me when I say so Tomoe", Shiki said to him before falling asleep.
A month later Tomoe continues staying at Shiki's home and treated well by her godparents Tsunade and Jiraiya, Tomoe was given a picture of Minato and Kushina to see what her parents look like although he was sadden that they died protecting their daughter from Kyuubi and sealing it away into a Jinchuriki host which is Shiki. While Tomoe awaits for any news report of his parent's murder he notice a strange man in a red hat and coat following Shiki as she returns home.
"Shiki I saw some dude with a red hat and coat following you!" Tomoe warns her of this fact.
"What are babbling about Tomoe? There was no one following me here!" Shiki idly dismiss what he warns her.
"But I'm telling you I saw the dude with the red hat and coat tailing you!" Tomoe trying to convince Shiki that he really saw the dude.
"And telling you Tomoe that there was no dude in a red hat and coat tailing me!" Shiki still dismissing Tomoe's words and soon this conversation is turning into an argument and he decides to end it.
"Shiki, I'm in love with you!" Tomoe claims that he's in love with her.
"I may lack any worth but I'm willing to die for you!"
"Sorry Tomoe but I can't accept you. Just go back to where you consider and feel is your real home", Shiki said and Tomoe believes she might be right and that he cannot hide any longer with Shiki and leaves.

"What the Mom?!" Early Tomoe returns to his apartment home which is a an ominous, circular complex colored red, which was completed recently and was name Ogawa apartment. This building was constructed in the courtesy of the US Empire, anyway Tomoe said that because he was shocked to see his mother still alive when he actually killed her and his father.
"I have to go back and tell Shiki", confuse of this Tomoe choose to return to Shiki and tell her about this.

"I agreed to accompany you here because I heard you perfectly clear that you murdered both of them and you find your mother still alive which makes me believe something is very wrong here", Shiki said her reason for accompanying Tomoe back here, well they drove with the Humvee.
"I can notice that we are ascending in a spiral", Shiki commented while in the elevator.

4th Floor
"Wait Tomoe, let's not ring the doorbell", after exiting the elevator Shiki insists on not ringing the bell.
"So your suggesting that we simply enter my home", Shiki nods when Tomoe asked.
After entering they are met with Tomoe's abusive family, even another Tomoe which cause more confusion. They watch the family's final moments as Tomoe's mother succumbs to murder-suicide and dies for good this time.
"Shiki can you tell me what is all this?!"
"They are simply imitation puppets that are revived in the morning and are forced to relive their final day alive repeatedly by destroying themselves", Shiki explains and because they did not ring the doorbell they acted like they had no visitor.
"There is something else you should know about the opposite side of the apartment. due to the construction of the complex none of the residents realized the rotating elevator made them exit 180 degrees, into another set of flats", Shiki said while in the elevator again with Tomoe.
"This is your real residence Tomoe", Shiki said as they exit the elevator.
"This is the rotten corpses of my parents", Tomoe said checking them.
"Only this side of the apartment is used to store corpses", Shiki said but suddenly their intrusion also causes the undead puppets of the other deceased apartment residents to attack them like zombies when it was time for them leave.
"Stand behind me Tomoe", Shiki draws out her Katana Sword then slice and dice them.
Tomoe gave Shiki a hand with a ARX-160 Assault Rifle that he found in the back of the Humvee. He just aim for their heads since that's the only vulnerable spot from the zombie, for Shiki just slice them apart and they won't get back up from that.
"Nice team work Tomoe", but this was cut short when they are confronted by none other than Soren Araya himself, they couldn't see his face or eyes because it's shaded dark.
"Soren Araya", Shiki said until remembering that it was him whom she was battling was actually him before she went berserk and attack Sasuke.
"Fishing for answer well here it is, I control this apartment as part of an experiment that uses the building to simulate a miniature world that concludes in a day. After I drive all of the occupants to kill each other I make them repeat their deaths over and over for the past half year. I was hoping for a deviation in their deaths", Soren explains to Shiki and Tomoe what he's been doing in the apartment.
"Oh I was the one who manipulated Kirie Fujo and Asagami Fujino to attack you Shiki Uzumaki Namikaze as antithesis to you in hopes I can force you to recognize your own Origin. Well I guess I can capture you now since your here", Soren now plans to capture Shiki now that she is here.
"I can't see the perceive lines on his body due to his great age which is his Origin of Stillness and mystical artifacts he grafted onto his left arm in preparation for this battle."
"SHIKI NOOOOOOOOO!" Tomoe shouted when Shiki attacks Soren regardless and was able to cut through his defenses but Soren was able to subdue her and absorb her into the building leaving only her Katana Sword behind.
"NO! NO! NO! Shiki!" Tomoe who just witness all that grabs Shiki's Katana Sword and escapes back to her home and bringing his ARX-160 Assault Rifle with him.
