Four hours later,
They were still walking by the river…after this long walk they could see two kids were playing in the water…
Davis shocked: Kids…? Are they kids…?
T.K amazed: Yes
Kushiro: No wonder in that…we aren’t in the digital world…maybe we are still in Spira as Ken said
Tai: Let’s ask them if they saw any crimson butterfly around…
He quickly ran to the kids
Matt: Taichi, wait up
They ran after him…Taichi reached the two kids, a boy and a girl around seven years old the two were playing in the river, Tai arrived there he was breathing fast…he walked near them, they saw him and showed a shock faces because his cloths were strange
Tai trying to be cheerful: Hey kids…
They walked back, the rest reached Tai and the two kids and that scared them more
Tai tried not to scare them: No don’t worry, we aren’t here to hurt you…we only want to ask you something
The two walked back again
Sora walked next to Tai: Don’t be afraid kids…we aren’t bad people…
“Who are you…?” someone asked from behind…they turned and saw big man with huge muscled body, he was wearing strange cloths and holding an axe
“What do you want from my kids…?” he asked again, the two kids quickly ran to him and hide behind him, Tai walked to the front
Tai: Hi sir…don’t worry we aren’t bad or anything…we just wanted to ask them something
The man with quick and scary move pointed the axes in Tai’s face they get shocked it was so close to his face
Matt: Taichi be careful…
Tai looked at the man’s eyes with serious looks
Tai: I just need to ask you something…I don’t mean any harm for you or your kids…
“Why should I listen to you…I can kill you and your friends right away…why should I trust you?”
Tai: You don’t have to trust us but you should at least listen to what I wanna ask you
The man got angry again he walked closer to Tai while waving his axes Tai’s friends were shocked “YOU DAMN BRATE DON’T ORDER ME AROUND”
When Sora and the rest opened their eyes the ax was in Tai’s head top Tai didn’t move an inch…they were shocked…the man himself was shocked he thought he will move from the axe way
Tai: I will repeat myself again sir…I just need to ask you something
The man was now face to face with Tai he saw the courage in Tai’s eyes
“You are sure a brave guy, do you know that?” he said quietly this time
Tai was still staring at him with his serious cold looks; the man took a breath then walked back
“You beat me…tell me what you want” he said smiling, Tai and the others smiled…
Tai: I wanted to ask you if you saw a butterfly
“Butterfly…?” the man asked trying to understand
Tai: Yes…crimson butterfly…
The man rolled his eyes trying to remember: Crimson butterfly…?!!!
His son came closer and pulled his shirt the father looked at his son the bowed, the little boy whispered something in his father’s ears, the father opened his eyes like he remembered something

Yuka smiled: Don’t worry honey…I feel happy to do it…
She looked at the beautiful butterfly inside the cage

Then she looked at the kids again smiling
Yuka: But I knew and I could feel that it is sad…it wants to go back to its original owner…and now…I can feel it too…it is happy…so I would be so happy to give it to them
She was smiling
Hiku: Are you sure you wanna do it?
Yuka: Positive…
