During a bright evening , leaves falling down from the tree calmly touching the earth, one car sweep them far away to the unknown.
The sunset travel across couple of local stores, inside one of small grocery store, there’s an old man was minding his own business, checking the profit on cash register before closing.
Outside the store, he saw two figures that just standing still, stare at him directly, there’s a woman and a man that taller than the other.
Both of them have grey hair and glowing red eyes, slowly enter8ng the store, apporching the owner with unreadable face.
The owner try to play cool by welcoming them politely.
“Hey there you two, it’s getting late now to shop here, but it’s okay, what I can do for ya?, hehe, why don’t we start talking and be less intimidating”
Miyomi lean her elbow on the counter, unbotherly.
“Hey old man, we both seeking for any information about this specific individual, do you happen to know someone named ‘Sanato?'”
The owner maintain his composure even he already terrified of Miyomi’s red eyes.
“Sanato?, I never heard anybody name Sanato around here.”
Garuchi finally speak up with demands but oddly soothing, to keep his professionalism.
“No you might have heard him, that man just appear to be someone that like to help you alot, but is it worth it to keep other man’s head, over your family and grandchildrens?”
The owner gulping in fear, give he’s nervous laughter.
“Guys i don’t think that will be necessary, let me try recall my old brain memories again, let’s see…
Sanato…, Yeah I think i might hear that name before, not because I know him personally, it because I keep hearing people’s mentioning his name around the town, I hear a rumor that he’s stay on abounded nursery home at the end of road 5 downside of this town, I’m not sure if you can find he’s specific home based on my information, but that’s all I got, please you need to bealive me”
Garuchi keep looking at the owner with intense gaze until he shift he’s expression and ready to walk away.
“Thank you, any information will help us to find this man.”
The owner sigh in relief after the two menacing strangers finally decide to leave him alone until he notice Miyomi sneakily stole one of the candy from the shelf.
“Hey miss, excuse me, are you planning to buy for-”
Suddenly Miyomi turn around with laughter, slice the owner, with her moth-like wing blade, cut the owner head in half while giggling excitedly.
“Oops, I thought you wouldn’t notice, but keep the change.”
She place the cash on the counter while the blood keep spreading everywhere from the owner expose upper head,
Both of them exit the store casually during the nightfall.

Zashi make he’s walk into cold night with no winds around, making the whole village all quiet and yet peaceful, in he’s mind, he keep remambering the girl he encounter after the past two days, but he can’t shake the feeling there is something odd about her.
“Why I never see her this whole time, as far I’m living on this village?”
The question left unanswered, as soon he get into his house, he start to cook, adjusting the right temperature on the pan,
He chop some vegetables and slide it into one pot, testing the soup with a spoon, thoughtful.
He sit comfortably on the couch with his dish ready, finding any channel that play good movie
The blue light from the TV filled the room based on emotion that Zashi feel, from watching romance film, he pay attention to every scenes and dialogue,
“Don’t worry my dear I will protect you, with all of my power and strength, nothing can stop us”
The line stuck on his head, and eventually he fall to sleep.

At the same night, Sanato was finish brushing his teeth, taking just time look at himself on the mirror.
Once he get Into his bedroom, he turn on the communication device on his bracelet, give the status report to his leader.
“Sanato can you hear me?, do you finally get the time to respond?
”
Sanato lean closely to the mic, avoiding anyone to hear their conversation.
“Yes I’m right here, Captain, far away from Vandicate, I’m currently on Kohoto, it’s getting hard to hide from the past this few days, I can’t just trust anyone at this town anymore, despite I used to live here.”
The Captain continues give Sanato futher questions.
” Did you have the seed on you?
“Yes captain, it’s with me safe and well contained ”
Have you been follow?” The last question hangs for a moment, and then the sounds of the winds invading the wooden building can be heard, outside from his bedroom.
“Sanato?” The Captain calls for respond, while Sanato sensing the danger everywhere
“I’m not sure anymore, I can feel something or someone surrounding me.”
“Can you take care your situation by yourself?, I send other agent to coming after you immediately!”
Sanato can not even try to hide his real fear, feeling his life is already off from the line.
“Yes…, please do”
“Very well, don’t die on me Sanato.” The calls over, leaving Sonoto inside the nursery home that now being hunted by the unknown entities.
He knows, not to escape from the window to avoid easy trap, he’s heading downstairs, grabbing the suitcase with him.
he sneakily try not to make so much noise on each step.
He close his eyes making everything surround him dark so he can focusing on sounds and threat near him, and he notice there’s a white figure approaching him,
He try to take a step back, he gasp feeling there’s someone is standing behind him, and when he look back it appears to be Miyomi, with her malevolent look, try to scared him off.
“BAAAHH!”
Sanoto scream, running away to find a perfect place to hide the suitcase and himself, by the time he find the unlock room, the suitcase is already being keep safe somewhere else , and his main goal is to skip to the building alive.
He’s chest can’t not stop pumping up and down fast, the light on the room suddenly flickering, he sees alot on moth just land on the floor looking over him.
As soon as the moths transforms into Miyomi, Sanato immediately shot her on her forehead and make his exit, he keeps running around try to get into ground floor.
He use ability again to sense the threat, and good use to aim his enemy, he release his shot that can pierce through walls, and hit couple of Miyomi’s clines
But the clones cannot stop spawning every corner her past by.
“Shit, just how many clone she can make instantly?
..
Ten?
, Twenty?, No I bet those moth is oneself of that woman.”
Suddenly there’s a dark vine emerge from the floor, grabbing Sanato’s hands, make him unable to move.
He struggling to free himself , but the whole vines begin to wrap him up tightly, Garuchi and Miyomi appear right infront of him with different entrences, as a swarm of white moths finally form into one being, while Garuchi appear through the portal that was made by the vines around them.
Before Sanato can say anything.
Miyomi immediatelysending countless of moths into his mouth straight to his throat, making his cheek swelling immensely, his skin start to degrading and melting from poison.
Miyomi was smiling mischievously until his body finally drop dead to the ground,
“Well is been a pleasure to use my power for absolute best, but one problem is we don’t even get a chance to interrogate him.” Miyomi complains with annoyance on her eyesm
“No need to…”
Garuchi reach he’s hand and sensing he’s surrounding, once he find the source beneath him, he smash the wooden floor with single punch and pull the valuable suitcase up and open it, top see the glowing scarlet seed inside.
Miyomi’s roll her eyes from disappointment.
“Ohhhh, mhmp, if I know you’re this boring, and not a fun type, I wouldn’t agree to partner up with you, I much prefer to torture somebody until they give me the answer that I needed, but you just have to ruin it with your sloppy power, but the seed?…
, it’s with you right now?”
Miyomi came closer with her low sultry voice, her hand touch the suitcase gently, not to pull it away from him, but to tempting the raw power right infront his eyes.
“Your key to access more power inside your body was here ,and I know we supposed to delivery this to Higher up, but this?, this is your chance to became even more powerful, and matter than them, are you really want to waste this opportunity over the mission or are you want to conquer it all?, prove to me, if the orginal plan it’s not going well as we thought…, you will finsih this once it for all…
”
Garuchi keep looking at the seed for awhile and decide to keep it back into suitcases making Miyomi smile fade away from Garuchi’s decision.
“Like I said, you’re no fun.”
“Let’s go, we are done here” Says Garuchi who doesn’t want to make a big argument, releasing the energy from his hand, to burn the whole building before teleport their way out.
