Normal POV:

Izayoi left on his search to look for Yō. He hated to admit it but it felt lonely without her. Kuro Usagi and Asuka were also feeling down about letting her be easily captured.

He checked the whole forest and and checked around the hidden areas that Shiroyasha told them about. So far…Nothing.

He was getting seriously irritated. It had been 2 days and still no clues.

Where were they?

…

"Oi, Boss, it's been 1 week and this girl has been holding out." The female of the group said.

"Hmph. So she still chooses not to release her ultimate power. Although she's going to be done for soon. All we have to do is retrieve the other relic that Takuma has already gone to retrieve and she'll be our puppet." The man who seemed to be the boss said.

"My brother? Hmph. But what if she still holds out?"

"She won't. She probably values her friends more."

"That's why she won't. She cares about them and won't release her ultimate power because she doesn't want to hurt them."

"No. But don't forget that we have her 3 friends in custody. We can use them to blackmail her. She won't want them to be killed."

"Man. That's a terrible thing to do." But by the way she was grinning evilly showed that she doesn't really care. "We are already doing something illegal. Putting tests on the girl is already illegal as well as kidnapping those kids. Now what? Destroy this world?"

"The relic will have hold on the holder. In other words, if this brat turns into her ultimate power, the relic will make her under our control and we can control her to destroy whatever we wish."

"But what if they stop her?"

He laughed. "That won't be possible. There is only one way to stop her."

"What's that?"

"You have to kill her completely for you to stop her."

…

"Leticia? Done?" Lili asked.

"Only a little bit more…Done."

"Ok!" Jin whispered. "Put it out of the window. Then the others will definitely find us!"

Leticia put a small fake bird out the window.

"I'm glad we had that with us. Though it would have helped if we knew about it sooner." Leticia said.

Lili and Jin laughed nervously.

"Hopefully they will know."

…

Izayoi, Kuro Usagi, and Asuka looked around.

"Doesn't seem like there are anywhere near." Asuka said.

"The places Shiroyasha-sama were experiment places that were usually done illegally. It was illegal because it killed about a thousand innocent young kids or teenagers." Kuro Usagi said.

Izayoi nodded. "There were containers and some other things in there as well. But what if there was one hidden one?"

"We checked everywhere but there was no sign of life." Asuka replied.

"They could have made a new one or either it was one of their ancestors or something." Kuro Usagi said.

"But if it was illegal in the past, why start it on Kasukabe-san?" Asuka asked.

"Let's hope she holds out on whatever they are doing to her." Kuro Usagi said.

"Maybe there is something they know that we don't." Izayoi said.

"But we know about the relic inside her and what will happen to her. What else is there?" Asuka asked.

"Well if she does turn into her monster or whatever form, she will just destroy everything including themselves, right?"

Kuro Usagi and Asuka blinked. That is true.

"But why would they create something that would clearly destroy them too?" Kuro Usagi asked.

"They must have some sort of plan to control her."

"That's possible." Asuka agreed. "Why else would they kidnap Kasukabe-san when they should also know she would destroy them? But how do we know nothing happened?"

"No one said anything of anything destroying them. It's already been a week but Kasukabe must have endured it."

"I get it." Kuro Usagi said.

"And no red clouds appeared either. Shiroyasha did say red clouds will appear if they did transform her because of her complete anger." Asuka added.

"Just because those things didn't happen doesn't mean we should just relax and wait for it to happen." Kuro Usagi said.

"But how do we beat her?" Asuka said as she frowned. "It must be strong if they want her power."

"Maybe we knock her out or something." Izayoi shrugged. "Maybe we just knock her out and she'll return back to normal?"

"If this is decided, let's go search again." Kuro Usagi interrupted.

The 2 nodded and continued their search.

…

"Geez, how hard is it to find a stupid relic?" The man known as Takuma said. "I've been searching for 10 hours and STILL no sign! Ugh!"

He looked around a bit more. He sighed.

"Guess to the other experiment lab then. This is so irritating. Why couldn't he have sent more people who are better at searching then me?"

…

Yō slowly opened her eyes and saw that the no one was there. The relic fragments are starting to get out of control after every transformation. It was starting to come out of her body. The biggest one is where her shoulder is located. She was pretty sure all her body is numb and she wouldn't be able to move for a while. She pretty much lost all hope anyone would come. This seemed to be one of the newest experiment labs for relics. She was analyzed before but no one seemed to notice the fragment near her heart. And the ones who did didn't take it out because they were scared they would accidently kill her because it was too close. She had to take rehab for 1 year because of the incident. She lost too much blood before.

She considered herself a nobody because everyone shunned her because she was the only survivor. And now the people she could rely on, the people she trusted, the people she cared about, the ones she could call friends…

Were they even looking for her anymore?
