Shirou walked down the street, taking a bite of the sandwich Melissa insisted he take to eat, since he skipped breakfast. The only reason he skipped breakfast was because Zoe wanted to draw with him, and she had eaten before him because she woke up at sunrise. So the two had spent half an hour drawing pictures and guessing what the others picture was, which he will admit had been fun because he got to see his daughter pout whenever she guessed wrong and laugh whenever she guessed right. "Cute.."Shirou sighed smiling slightly. He stopped, looking through the window of a toy store. "Zoe likes rabbits.."Shirou reminds himself. He flinched, the ground shaking around him, causing him to turn around, spotting a building collapsing. "What?!"Shirou yells shifting into his wolf form and taking off, running full speed towards the destruction.

Beastmen coughed, a few getting up as he arrived. "Two beastmen are trapped under the rubble, someone get help!" Shirou stared, then closed his eyes, taking in the scents around him, instantly finding the two trapped beastmen. Koichi and....a more mingled scent, several mixing together. Zoe. His eyes bursted open, fear flooding over him, staring at the rubble. "Zoe!" He rushed forward, moving debris. Koichi came into view, and coughed as he was pulled out. "Zoe was buried deeper, I saw her head, she's not moving, I couldn't reach her so I don't know if she's alright"Koichi says. "What happened"Shirou demands. "The building collapsed while I took Zoe out for a walk, she said she wanted to go outside, I transformed and shielded her from the impact but now she's trapped"Koichi coughed. Shirou turned away, digging through the debris, his eyes wide. "Zoe! Answer me!!" He tossed a wall aside, Koichi staggering up, coming over to help him.

Zoe laid motionless, dust falling on her face. She coughed and opened her eyes, finding debris around her. The walls started to shake, threatening to give out. "Shirou! Stop, you might end up getting her crushed! It won't hold if you keep digging!" She pushed herself up, staring towards the yelling. "Shirou, stop!" She perked up, recognizing Rose's voice. "Gran Gran Rose.."Zoe mutters. "Zoe!" Her eyes widened, her body moving on it's own. "Papa"Zoe mutters. Red hair appeared, making her stop. A ghostly red haired woman appeared beside her, Zoe staring at her stunned. "Follow me, stay close to my feet." Zoe stared, crawling after her, ducking underneath debree. She stood up, carefully climbing over a metal pole, the woman smiling at her. "This way, almost there." Zoe ducked down, shielding her head as the debris around her started to shake again. She quickly crawled after the woman, only to find her gone. "Zoe!!" She perked up, the sound of rubble being removed. Sunlight hit her eyes as hands grabbed her, lifting her out.

"Hey! We got her!" She blinked the sound of running feet filling her ears, Shirou's face coming into view. "Here." She silently reached for her father, the beastman passing her to her father. She gripped his coat, his hand resting on the side of her head as he held her close. "Are you alright"Shirou demands his hands trembling. "I'm fine Papa.."Zoe blinked. "Zoe, we're relieved you're alright." Rose smiled at her, her expression softening. "A rescue team arrived, one of them heard you moving around"Rose informs. "Mister Koichi!! Is he alright?!!"Zoe yells remembering the figure of Koichi's body shielding her when the first piece of debree fell from the building. "Don't worry, I'm fine." Koichi smiled at her, relieved to see her out. "We pangolin have tough bodies"Koichi adds. Zoe started to cry, Shirou looking down at her concerned. "I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come outside, I shouldn't have asked!"Zoe sniffed tears falling down her cheeks. "Zoe..."Koichi stared.

Melissa looked over, her eyes widening in shock at the sight of Zoe. "What happened!"Melissa demands Gem looking over. "She got a checkup at the scene, they claimed she was fine, but I need bandages for her leg"Shirou informs. Melissa brought over the first aid kit, looking worried. Zoe laid in her bed, Shirou taking the kit from Melissa, pulling out bandages. A wince came from the girl as he lifted her leg, carefully bandaging it up. "I'm sorry papa.."Zoe mumbles. "You can't be locked up in the house all day, you're allowed to be outside....you just need to be more alert of what's going on around you"Shirou says. He gently set her leg down, and placed a hand on her head. "Does your head hurt?"Shirou asks. "No..."Zoe answers. She sat up, looking at her leg. "It's sprained..don't know why they claimed you were fine"Shirou frowned narrowing his eyes. She blinked, wondering who the red haired lady was that helped her. "Papa, do you know a red haired lady?"Zoe asks looking up at him.
