The mountain outside Fuka academy was ablaze. Mai had awoken her hidden power and her child Kagutsuchi. She had just defeated an Orphan. But none of this made any sense to her.

"Hi- Hime?" Mai stuttered in shock as she looked up at the tree where Nagi was standing. "WHAT THE HELL IS A HIME?" She cried, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

"It's simple really." Nagi replied in his usual cocky, overconfident tone. "It means that you are one of the few people that can save the school from those monsters. But if you don't want to that's fine."

"GOOD!" screamed Mai, "Cause I want nothing to do with this."

"Like I said fine with me, I mean its not my fault if one of those Orphans breaks into the school and hurts your little brother now is it?" Nagi replied smiling a sick grin.

"What was that?" Mai growled. This really was a new side of her, naturally she'd want to defend her brother but being forced to do something she hates to do to protect him seemed to be really tearing at her. But her growl was pointless. Nagi had already gone.

In the distance she could hear people coming, she had to get out of there while she could.

-------------------------------------------------------

"I swear the Transmitter said that the Orphan appeared up here." Came one voice.

"Looks like someone beat us too it again." A second Voice replied in the darkness.

Suddenly a figure came out of the dark standing tall and proud. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE ELSE GOT HERE FIRST?" Screamed Haruka. "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"

"Please calm down Haruka-chan." Came a voice from behind her. It was Haruka's best friend and personal lackey Yukino. "At least the Orphan has gone."

"BUT WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED." Haruka continued to scream, her eyes as wide as they could be and looking gobsmacked. I SWEAR IF I FOUND OUT WHO DID THIS, THE WEIGHT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL….. NO THE OTOME WILL BE ON THEM!" Haruka turned to walk away as her angry laughter was heard echoing throughout the mountainside.

-------------------------------------------------------

Mai was sat in class the next day. All she could do was look up at the mountainside and remember what had happened. She kept trying to convince herself that the accident wasn't her fault.

"It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault" she kept thinking to herself.

"Mai." Came the teachers cry.

Mai suddenly stood up and yelled out in front of the whole class. "IT WASN'T MY FAULT." She looked up to realised what she just said and sat down slowly, embarrassed by the fact she just screamed out in class.

"No Mai." The teacher said trying not to laugh. "Unless you're over 100 years old World War Two wasn't your fault." She sighed. "Try to pay attention in class next time."

"Yes Miss, sorry Miss." Mai replied sulking.

As the teacher carried on with her history lesson, Mai continued to look out of the window, watching as the Otome searched the area looking for clues. Clues that could lead them to whoever did this, clues to lead them to Kagutsuchi, clues to lead them, to her……
