You grit your teeth and take his hand, not meeting his gaze. "Deal." You growl. He nods and disappears, leaving you alone in the middle of the forest. You kneel down and pick up the paper, looking at the odd symbol on it. 'Blood here' is what it said beside it with an arrow pointing at the symbol. You sift. "What? You were planning to abandon my from the get go!?" You shout out.

"Nope. I'll be trailing along during the day, it's the night time when you'll be alone, unless you beg me to stay." He hums eating ice cream behind you. You blink and throwing him a glare. "You want some?" He asks. You don't answer, trekking ahead as he follows slowly as He ate, watching you carefully. You try to ignore him for a while until he started to ask questions.

"So what happened between you and Killer? I didn't read anything about him in your journal." He says and your frown worsens.

"I got the journal to help me feel better after what he did. But now I see I was being stupid from the beginning." You reply flatly moving faster.

"So what happened?" He presses. You close your eyes briefly.

"I thought he was the one. So sweet and charming. Bringing me spontaneous gifts. He made it easy to fall in love with him... And I fell so hard too.. And then I took a walk to Nami's and saw him screwing some woman on a balcony... I just... Ran.... I almost lost myself over it. Then Law came to save me like always." You stop briefly rubbing at your cheeks to try and calm yourself. "Im an idiot... Why didn't I realize he never cared about me to begin with?" You sniff in frustration as you feel that old pain return and your knees give out.

Kid shifts watching your back before moving beside you and crouching beside you. "Sure you don't want some ice cream?" He offers you a bite. You look at him then the ice cream before taking a bite. He smiles a bit and sits beside you. "He's defective by the way." He hums. You raise an eyebrow and he carries on. "Yeah, he never fit into any of the categories of demons. He mostly took up lust and wrath. He's a good fighter but not very strong. And he has a hard time seducing very smart humans. And that hasn't changed I see, which says quite a bit about you." He peers at your face thoughtfully and you blink a small smile coming to your lips.

"Too smart for him huh?" You murmur.

"That's what I said... Here, I don't like that ice cream anymore." He passes you the bowl and spoon. You blink at the ice cream and smile a bit starting to eat the rest. "Alright, you shouldn't sit around too long if you want to be out of here in two days." He adds as he gets up. You stand up licking your lips as he makes the bowl and spoon disappear.

Glancing at him you carry on. "Why were you locked up anyway?" You ask him.

"I love war, and the last time I was loose I nearly destroyed all humans.... Apparently humans are an important element. We feed off their negativity and are able to fight angels because of it. If there weren't any humans to feed off of we'd lose." He says not looking at you as he shrugs. "I'm a threat to both beings."

"Then why are you hanging around?" You inquire.

"To enjoy my freedom while it lasts." He chuckles, "And what better way to understand humans so I can manipulate them to do my will." You frown at that.

"And me?" You murmur. He blinks and looks at you smirking.

"I'm not going to manipulate you ___, the one who freed me should enjoy their freedom too." He chuckles. You look at him doubtfully. "It's true. You're as free as you let yourself be."

"Right..." You sigh stumbling since you got near a steep slope without realizing. "Shit." You gasp almost going down. Kid catches your waist swiftly, picking you up and placing you on more solid ground.

"You don't want to go down there." He tells you.

"You're not trying to steer me I the wrong direction are you?" You question.

"More like bear traps, but if you want to lose a leg or arm go right ahead." He shrugs looking away. You raise an eyebrow before deciding to carry on again.

"So.... Were you always fighting before you got locked up? Didn't you find anything better to do?" You inquire. He stops and looks at you for a few moments before his gaze hardens and becomes cold.

"Nothing that meant anything." He responds before strolling ahead. You blink after him in confusion. What was that just now? You choose not to pry and follow after him. After a bit he stops and looks at you questioning. "Why are you following me?"

"I.... I'm not sure.." You rub your neck. He blinks and a small smile comes to his lips.

"Alright, take the lead again... You hungry?" He asks curiously.

"Uh... Thirsty actually... Are you really hungry again?" You raise an eyebrow at him.

"Actually I'm bored and eating the new foods help...." He looks down briefly. "I'll be right back." He adds before disappearing. You look at where he had vanished and frown a bit. He really didn't seem that bad, he just had a bad mouth, short fuse and a troublesome thieving habit. Plus he hasn't tried to hurt you at all.

You still didn't understand why he wanted to hang around though. Kid materializes again a plate of cookies and a bottle of whiskey. "Here you go." He offers you the bottle.

"Um... No alcohol... Just water please." You him.

"Oh right, you humans can't handle it.." He mutters. He exchanges it for a water bottle, offering a smile. You take it and open it up.

"So where did you get the cookies?" You ask after taking a drink. He shifts looking to the side.

"The.... House across the street..." He admits. You couldn't bring yourself to frown as a smirk sneaks onto your lips. "Want one?" He offers you one.

"Might as well." You hum taking it and munching on it as you continue with him.

"Also. That Law guy was at the house. I told him you died." He informs you.

"Kid!" You scold and he chuckles.

"That was a lie. I told him you went camping and left him before he could ask. So when You get back be prepared to explain." He says peering at the darkening sky. "I'll get you a tent, need anything else for the night?"

"Probably a blanket and something for dinner." You rub your cheek trying to think of something else as you stop in a clearing.

"I'll make sure that's all, you should probably find a spot for the campfire." He suggests before disappearing. You look around starting to collect wood and clearing out an area to place it. The sun was almost gone when he reappeared again with a setup tent. Here the blankets are already inside with some other stuff I thought you would need," He rumbles putting it in place before kneeling beside you and igniting the firewood.

"Thanks, is the food in there?" You look back at the tent. Kid tilts his head, peering at you.

"Depends. Do You want me to leave You alone now? Or do you think you can tolerate having dinner with me?" He inquires. You look at him before glancing around the already dark campsite. Now that night time was there, you felt intimidated and maybe a little scared to face it alone.

"Uh... T-The second one..." You admit sheepishly. He smirks and stands.

"Then lets eat." He says sitting at a table that held two plates on it. You blink and sit with him, blinking at your favorite meal and smiling a bit.

"I feel like you're too powerful." You comment.

"Im just showing off." He winks. "But compared to the ones that locked me up...." He trails off to eat.

"Then how the hell was I able to get you out?" You murmur.

"Who knows? Its amazing really, humans don't cross that threshold without losing their minds!" He chuckles starting to grin. "I haven't seen anyone in ages so I'm glad it was your cute terrified face I saw first."

You blush a bit and focus on eating. "Im glad I saw you first too." You comment smiling slightly. He pauses glancing at you before he finishes eating.

"Alright the paper is to summon me if you need me. But remember, once you do the deal is off and you'll be stuck with me." He warns. You nod, frowning a bit as you get up. The table and chairs vanish. "Be careful." He mutters before disappearing. You look around and quickly climb into the tent, taking off your shoes and zipping up the tent.

You check around and pause finding your teddy bear. Relaxing at the sight, you smile and hug it before laying down, slowly falling asleep.

"Bathroom..." You murmur waking up. You unzip the tent and peer out finding the fire almost dead, you frown ducking back in and looking around grabbing the toilet paper Kid had put in there. "No flashlight.... Great..." You sigh getting out after grabbing the small bat he had also put in there. At least he remembered protection. You pause after the thought and snicker shaking your head.

"Im too tired...." You mutter finding a spot to use the bathroom. You finish and straighten up, moving to go back to camp when something catches your attention. You look through the darkness as that feeling ceases you as it had done before, pulling you in slowly. Your foot hits the slope, jolting you back just as you slip and tumble down, feeling a stick stab into your shoulder and then your thigh. It stops when you reach the bottom. You groan in pain, wincing as you roll to your uninjured shoulder. Your arm touches something cold and there's a click just before something sharp clamps down your arm making you cry out in pain.
