3rd Pov

"She's too fast!" A man shooting at the heroine from a roof in a town.

"I can't really see her!"

Before he can shoot again, the woman leap high and took the bad buy by surprise.

"Sh-!"  About to cursed but the woman grabbed the storage weapon on his hand and kicked him back. She send the young adult flying before tossing the gun to the guard and stomp it to break it.

'Damn, I worked hard on that tool!'

'I really hope there work...'  The man toss what seem like rocks at her but she caught them at ease.

"Did you just throw pebbles at me?" She cock an eyebrow in confusion and the pebble then started to glow.

"What-" The pebbles then blew up and hit her point blank.

'I got her for sure!' The man grin in delight. His eyes widen when he notice a figure still standing in the smoke.

"She's still standing?!" The woman is arched forward and her face was covered by her hair. She slowly raised herself up to show off her enraged expression that was in blue paint.

"I threw the wrong ones!" He yell to himself before he got knocked out. When her brother came to escort the bad guy he saw her sister wearing more blue than usual.

"What the heck happen to you?"

"I don't wanna talk about it!" She stomp her foot and then left the scene.

She change back after trying to get rid of all the paint on her face. The woman went inside her home with a big sigh and slightly slam the door.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back." Akira said, turning away from the TV.

"Why do bad guys fight in the summer? Too hot for this sh**." The woman grumble as she walk over to Akira to sit next to him on the couch.

"Don't even get me started on the bugs."

"I haven't brought up the sort..." Akira said with a sweat drop. However his mood change fast when he notice the scars sticking out from her right shoulder. Since she wore a green tank top which made it visible.

He started to feel the guilt come over again cause of those scars.

Probably because he gave it to her.

"... right, Akira?" The woman was still talking but saw Akira looking as if he's in a daze.

"Akira? AKIRA?" She yelled the last part and that brought him back to reality.

She crossed her arms and look down for a second to her scar then stares at him.

"You were looking at the scar again, weren't you?" She pointed out and he avert his gaze.

"Don't think I haven't noticed this before."

"I was just looking at the blue substance on your face." He claims and she gasp, touching her face.

"Blue-" She then turns a bit red and found the small blue paint.

"Are you serious?!" She rants as she jump up in rage while Akira is in relief to change the subject.

"He told me I got it all! That f**king troll! I swear I-" Her shouting stops because of her phone going off.

'That must be him!' She growl and grab the phone. About to answer the call, she stop and notice it wasn't her brother.

"Wait this is..." All of a sudden her mood went from 0 to 100, full of glee.

"Hey, it's been a minute!" She answer with a big smile.

"What a change of emotion!" Akira comment on her sudden burst.

"No-no, I'm free right now!"

'This is rather frightening...'

"I'll get ready and I can ask Akira if he wants to come, too." She hangs up and did a little spin.

"Hey, do you want to meet my friends?"

~

The two of them exit out of their ride by the rydder app. Akira looks up and ready the sign of a big place.

"Bronzewood Mall..." He mumble.

"I told them so much about you. They can't wait to meet you!" The woman said with the same big smile and leads but left a lightly flustered Akira. He had snap out of it, following her inside.

"They said to meetup around here..." She trails and inspect the place.

"Hey!" Someone shouted and the two of them look to the right.

"We're not late, are we?" A woman with shaved off hair but still had purple bangs from her right. She comes with a man next to her, having intertwined hands.

'Those are her friends?'

"No we just got here ourselves." The woman said with a chuckle. Akira starts to go red again and avert his gaze to hide it with his hand.

'This cannot be the same woman.'

"Come on, Akira!" The woman waved and he nod a bit. The four of them start to walk to explore the mall.

"So have you gotten caught up in the anime yet?" The girls started to talk while the men stay in the back.

"With the robot and the kid, right?" The girls chat and giggle sometimes.

"I have never seen her like this." Akira comment and the man heard him.

"They've been best friends long before I showed up." The boyfriend exclaims.

"She's more open with Violet, but she gets shy when talking to new people."

"I thought she didn't like me at first." He added and looked teary.

"Hey nerds! Let's go check out these stores!" The woman shouted to the boys. They look at each other before smiling and they follow the girls.

All day they go into stores to check out the stuff, likes, shirts, and anime related things. Akira didn't really understand it all when they explore but he had some fun, due to seeing the woman smile almost all the time and that made him smile more too.

"By the way, thanks for that game!" Violet's boyfriend, Karter thank their friend.

"Nah man, it was your birthday. Had to spoil ya!" She says and the three of them talk but Akira started to fall back.

He frowns as he watch them talk and laugh about things he has no idea about.

'How will I ever figure out what they are talking about?' Akira thinks to himself.

'Trapped for a long time... I have no idea how this world works anymore.' He looks in the window and he can pretty much see his reflection of the past.

'I had always been able to stay in touch with what humans knew. I had to know everything just so I can fit in. I couldn't belong before, because I'm a demon and now I can't since I know nothing...'

'How can I move forward if I'm stuck in the past?'

"There you are!" The short woman came back with a worried expression.

"I got worried you got lost."

"I am sorry. I did not mean to worry you." Akira put up a small smile and looks away from to find an excuse.

"I was just awed by this... This..." He trails and now he beams in glee, having his face close into the glass.

"9 Ringed Broadsword?!"

"I cannot believe this!" The woman stares at him with disbelief.

'This is kind of terrifying to see him so happy.'

"The details of the blade! I cannot believe  it is not real, but just a duplicate!"

"I didn't know you like swords." The woman some and Akira got so close to her in excitement.

"How can I not?! This just brings me back to my time." He begins to rant and look out in awe.

"I still remember when the Longquan Sword got forged. It was just so magnificent."

"The amount of time, patience, and dedication to make such beautiful instruments- How can I not just be filled with such happiness and appreciation?" The talking started to make the woman flush. She is just admiring how Akira knows so much and seeing him so happy just hit her different. Something that she never thought she will feel.

"I just want to hold my own blades again just thinking about it. When I get powers back I can show-" He gasp, realizing he had went into the zone and turn red.

"Oh my word- my apologies!"

"You probably do not wish to hear such-"

"No wait!" She tugs his rolled up sleeve.

"I wanna hear more." She admitted and smiles.

"Did you get to hold that sword? The one you saw before? Did you make your own- or wait, how did you find out about it?"

"Alright, I'll start from what I recall."

The two of them chuckle lightly and Akira begins to tell his old tales as they walk to the food court. It didn't take them long to reach it but to them it almost felt like forever talking to each other.

"- and that's how I learn about the Hishizukuri Uchigatana."

"You really know your swords! We should watch some old movies you might like! There's like crazy amount of movies people with blades."

"On the tele-show, correct? I never really use it on my spare time since I do get so puzzled how it works." Akira said and then they stop to see Karter and Violet up ahead.

"There's Violet and Karter! Looks like they're still choosing!"

"Let's go see if they have anything good." She comment. The two of them start walking to the couple but the woman stop cause of a voice to her left.

"Everything looks so good... It came out fresh, too..." She follow the voice of a young woman wearing a skirt, oversized hoodie, and had blue hair ties in one messy bun but some hair is falling out of it like a ponytail.

"I have to wait next week to get any."

"Are you talking about the raspberry macarons?" The woman spoke and spooked the blue hair girl.

"Oh my goodness, you heard that?!" She yelp as she stands up.

"I'm really sorry about that!"

"Nothing to apologize for. I happen to be walking by." The woman said and waved it off the awkwardness.

"I'm guessing what I heard, you really love sweets?"

"It's a bad habit, I know." The blue hair lady said with a frown.

"I just can't help myself when I see delicious red sweets. I just can't stand blood so I just live on sweets. I feel guilty sometimes, being a picky eater..."

"I wish I was more human than vampire sometimes so I don't have to bother my brother so much..." She listens to the red eyed vampire and felt sympathy so she suddenly went up to the counter where the macarons are.

"Hey! Anyone there? Those red sweets here? I'll take your entire stock!" She jokes about that last part but she bought a lot of them still.

"EH?!?!" The vampire gawk in horror and disbelief.

"Here." The woman handed her the box of sweets.

"I know how hard it is to be picky." She says.

"I use to live with my big family and being the only one who hates onions, I didn't like to ruin it for everyone either."

"If you want; my friend loves sweets as well. He makes a lot but I don't eat much treats." The vampire slowly took the box.

"We always have plenty left, so if you want you can take as much as you like."

"That would..." The vampire mutter and starts to get teary.

"That would be wonderful."

"Thanks you so much for the offer. " The stops herself from crying and put a big grin.

"I'm Aori, nice to meet you! What is your name? I didn't get the chance to ask."

'Crud...'

"R-Right! My name..." She averts her gaze and feels a cold sweat.

'I can't give her my name! Crap, crap, crap!'

"Where did she go?" Akira notice the woman not next to her.

"Name is... Uhh..." She looks around to think of her own excuse, but she then stop gazing since she then notice a strange reaction of two people in the distance.

"That's weird..." She mumble and saw the random person try to calm the other down.

"Weird? That's a strange name." Aori comment but the woman didn't listen and kept staring at the demon man.

'What's with that guy?' From what she could see is the man having glowing red eyes, his nails grow long and so does his teeth. The person got terrified of the transformation as starts to back up but the growling demon is getting closer.

"He's gonna hurt her..." She mumble to herself, not realizing she is slowly walking toward them but her speed picks up when the demon raises his hand.

"Look out!" She saves the other demon from being attacked. They hit the floor and slide a little away. Everyone nearby starts to notice the demon and question what is going on.

'Why is he attacking?' Confused as she kept her ground.

"Go, go! Get somewhere safe!" She told the demon and she didn't hesitate, running away with a slight yelp.

'Here he comes!' She notice him try to slice at her but she leap back.

'I can't change to stop him without giving away my identity!'

'Maybe I can tie him down with my purse...' She thought and held her bag. About to lunge at the demon, Akira ha suddenly appear behind him and lock his arms together to trap the demon.

"Akira?!"

"Go! I can keep this man from hurting anyone else." He claims as the deon try to get out of it but Akira kept his ground.

"But-"

"People are starting to get closer out of curiosity..."

'He's right, and no one else can how up on tim!'

"... Fine, but be careful! Get away from him if he tries to hurt!" She agreed and runs off to change. The demon is trying to shake Akira off but give no budge until he then headbutted him with took Akira by surprise.

Akira took a step back and the demon turn and slice up his chest, which cut up his shirt.

'Don't lose...' Akira held his face and had a nose bleed cause of the reverse headbutt. The demon is about to strike again but Akira had punched him with full force.

He appearance has changed, had horns, his nails grew, and his fangs appeared. Akira's powers came but he starts to feel pain when there glowing rings appeared on both of his wrists. The rings glow start to go around his arms and hand as if it's manifesting.

"Blast..." He grunt, holding his wrist. The crazy demon is about to strike again after shaking off that punch.

However he is knocked out when he was by the woman in blue

"He's sleeping. He should calm down soon." The woman said but kept her gun out and looks at Akira.

"Are you guys okay? The cops should be comin-" Violet came over with Karter.

"Don't!" She warn the couple and still kept her eye on the man.

"Akira!" She saw him growling and holding his wrist as the glow is going through his body.

"Come on Akira, you got this." She grows worried cause she wasn't sure if she had to knock him out again or not.

"Don't make me knock you out too."

'dammit do I really have too, again?' She thought. Akira didn't say anything and then he took a deep breath.

"I'm..." He said slightly.

"I'm alright." Akira manage to say as his appearance return to normal and his wound was even healed.

"Is that the 'curse' thing you mention to me before?" Violet ask with a frown.

"Cause that seems like a lot worse than a curse."

The authority finally arrived, taking statements on what happen. Akira is with Violet, waiting for the woman and Karter to finish their statements.

However Akira is keeping his head down, not even looking around. Violet notice his body language and felt bad too.

"You didn't anyone, you know?"

"Don't beat yourself up about it. It's not rare some demons are hot heads." Violet try to cheer him up. Akira frown got worse and spoke up.

"It should not be a light problem."

"A demon's rage may be common but always dangerous. If I haven't had these chains on me it could of been terrible."

"Especially being a kin of Pride."

"Irony I have no pride at all. How can anyone have any pride hurting someone they care about again."

"Again?"

"No one is perfect, Akira." The woman came back with Karter and overheard the last bits.

"Why are you blaming yourself aside you attacked that lady? It's not your fault you have flaws. It's not just demons, anyone can have anger problems and can be just as dangerous."

"You can't be blame for a stereotype, Akira. So lift your chin up and don't let anyone bring you into mud like that."

"Let's go home."

~

Akira and the woman got home after saying their goodbyes with the couple. It has gotten pretty late when they got back and the woman's stomach growl.

"Well it's been a long day, why don't we order a pizza for dinner?" The woman suggested.

Akira didn't respond since his mind was pondering. He wasn't sure if he should but he couldn't stay silent.

"The way you were talking earlier... I reckon that you were blamed for something before?"

It was nice advice but, judging by it, it sounds like you had it fairly bad as well."

The whole room got quiet. Akira waited for what felt forever to hear her say anything but he sigh and look away.

"I apologize. It was probably rude of me-"

"No! That's not it."

"I just..." She trails and rub the back of her head.

"Just didn't expect you to ask this soon." She said and felt shy.

"You're right. Something did happen."

"Me and brother are the oldest of the family. We already got pressure from that. I had to become a role model..."

"After sometime when my powers emerge I almost did the worst... I don't really see my family much after that."

"I have alot of shame I need to rid off before seeing them again."
