Vol. 3 - Chapter 58

Ash lost track of how much time she spent there, waiting for Kaori to wake up. Her Demon Form faded as Ash continued to watch. Kaori's eyes never opened. Even as demons began to pour into the street, eliminating the few remaining soldiers around her, Ash kept her eyes on Kaori, hoping she'd be back in a second or two. 

It was when a demon tried to claw her head off that she realized she couldn't stay here. A monster approached from behind, Ash turned around and dodged out of the way of a quick swipe. With gritted teeth, Ash transformed her gauntlets and tripped the demon backwards. 

Mounting it, she stabbed through its head and quickly went back to Kaori's side. 

... We can't stay here,  Ash thought, and she placed her hands under Kaori's legs and her back, and lifted her up.
