No one's POV

Everyone remained still. The aura around y/n was gone, but his lightning remains. They all wait for someone else to make the first move. The Fallen Angels grew more nervous with each second that went by as y/n remained positioned with the girl watching him.

After what felt like eternity, one of the Fallen Angels aiming their gun at y/n grew tired of waiting. He growls as he yells. "That's it! I'm done waisting time!"

His partners tried to yell at him to stop, but they were too late. The second he pulled the trigger it was too late to go back. Just as the bullet was about to hit y/n, he disappears in the blink of an eye. Everyone's eyes widen as they look around for him.

"What the-?!"

An explosion erupts between the middle of the Fallen Angels. A wave of electricity explodes as the ground shatters, sending everyone flying. Y/n stood up from the center of the explosion as his lightning fades. He saw that the one holding the girl was separated from her due to the impact of the explosion. He took this opportunity to run up to her and pick her up in his arms bridal style.

"H-hey-!" The girl tried to say something, but y/n cuts her off.

"Don't worry, I got you." Y/n says with a calm tone.

"..." The girl simply stares at him. She saw he was staring at the downed men before he decided to make a run for it. He runs as fast as he could to one of the nearest buildings.

"Hold on tight, kid!" He yells as he was standing in front of a building.

The girl does as she was told, wrapping her arms around his neck. Y/n bends his knees before leaping up several stories. He grabs hold onto a window frame with both of his hands. The girl holds onto him for dear life as he leaps up several stories again. Y/n lands on top of the roof, grabs hold of the girl, and ran as fast as he could to get away.

"Get him!" The two heard one of the Fallen Angels yell from the ground.

Y/n looks over his shoulder as he leaps over a gap between two buildings. He saw the Fallen Angels hovering in the air with their black bird-like wings spread out. He growls in annoyance as he tries to come up with a plan.

"Damnit!" Y/n mutters. "This is why I hate coming to Japan!"

Each of the Fallen Angels summon a spear of light in their hands. They throw their spears at y/n to kill him. But each time they did y/n would leap to the side just in time to avoid being hit.

"Why do you even care about this girl?!" One of the Fallen Angels shout in anger as he flew above y/n. "You don't even know her!"

Y/n leaps away as far as he could. He jumps across several roofs as he slowly turns around. He dug the back of his heels into the ground and his left hand into the roof as he had his other hand holding the girl. He skids backwards several feet, causing dust to pick up where he lands. The Fallen Angels notice y/n's brows burrow as he grits his teeth.

"You're right," y/n began. "I don't know her..." He puts the girl down to his side and stands in front her, blocking them from reaching her. "But that doesn't mean I can let you damn Fallen Angels kidnap her!"

Two of the Fallen Angels summoned their spears again. They both threw them as the others summoned theirs. Y/n's hands suddenly glow. He spreads his fingers out as two objects were summoned in them. In his right was a small shield as his left had some kind of lance.

Each was made out of metal. But they were decorated with what looked like blue scales, yellow horns, and white fur.

"Get down!" Y/n yells to the girl.

She obeys him as she crouches and held her hands above her head. Y/n kneels down onto one knee as he uses all his strength into his arm with the shield and lifts it above his face. Some spears missed their target. Others managed to pierce the shield but not by much and a few bounced off. One managed to graze y/n's cheek, but it luckily doesn't hit the girl. Y/n felt his cheek sting and blood drip, but he ignores it as he forces himself to focus on the battle.

All of the Angels' eyes widen in shock as they saw y/n mostly unharmed. The girl slowly looks up in awe as she saw both they were okay. When y/n knew all of the spears were gone, he threw his lance like a spear at the nearest Fallen Angel. He didn't have time to react as it pierced him in the stomach almost instantly, leaving a large gap there.

"Wha-?!" He yell as he felt his breath gone. He looks down at his wound and suddenly coughs up blood, before falling to the ground to die. The other Fallen Angels and the girl were shocked that y/n was able to kill a one of them in a single blow.

The rest of the Fallen Angels look back at y/n in rage. But that was quickly changed to confusion as y/n was now holding a bow in his hand and had a quiver filled with arrows strapped to his waist. The bow was made out of one large horn and the quiver was made out of blue scales and white fur.

Y/n had a giant arrow in hand and scrapes the tip across the ground behind him, creating sparks. He then aims his bow at another Fallen Angel and places the arrow on the string. He pulls it back and once ready, he lets go and lets the arrow fly. It was as fast as a bullet and pierces into the Fallen Angel's skull, killing him. The body drops to the floor as only four remain.

"W-What the fuck is he using?!" One of the Fallen Angels shout to the others. "Those aren't any Sacred Gear!"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Y/n states. "Not that it would matter." He pulls something small out of his pocket and throws it into the air. He grabs a smaller arrow and places it on the string before pulling it back. "Close your eyes, kid!" He shouts over his shoulder.

The little girl does as she's told and covers her eyes with her hands. He lets go and the arrow flew. It hits the object in the air and creates a bright flash, blinding the Fallen Angels. They all stagger in the air as they scream in pain. They slowly descend to the ground as they tried to recover from the flash.

"W-What was that-?!" One yells.

As they were still blind, y/n sprints towards the closest Fallen Angel he could reach. His bow disappears and were replaced with two small blades decorated similar to his two previous weapons.

Y/n flips them around and as he got closer to the Fallen Angel, leaping into the air to his enemy. When close enough he pounced on them, forcing them to crash onto the ground. He began to give an onslaught of stabs and slashes onto their body as they screamed in pain. After a couple dozens of attacks, the body went limp and their screams were silenced. Y/n got off the body before running to the third Fallen Angel. His weapon disappears again and was replaced by one final weapon. It was a small blade and a shield.

Just as the Fallen Angels recover their sight, y/n got close and swung his blade at their neck, splitting it open. Blood spews out as y/n stabs their gut three times with the blade before smacking their face with the shield's end as hard as he could. This sent the Fallen Angel staggering back to the edge of the building. Y/n Sparta kicks them off the roof to crash onto the ground below.

The last remaining two Fallen Angels recovered their sights but were trembling when they saw y/n turning to them. They saw he had a little bit of blood on his jacket as he sneers at them, scaring them even more. The little girl felt confused on the matter. She was afraid due to y/n killing several people, but yet she felt safe with him.

Y/n slowly walks up to the two. His weapons disappear as lightning coats his body. "Do you two give up yet?" He asks with little emotion. "Or do I have to finish you off just like your buddies?"

"W-we-we-!" One of the Fallen Angels stutters a response. An image flashes in his mind as he saw y/n coming closer.

They were too afraid of y/n to speak normally. As he tried to say a single word, he heard wings flapping away next to him. He looks over his shoulder and saw his last remaining partner flying away in fear.

"H-hey! Don't leave me!" He yells.

"I don't care! I'm not dying today!" Shouts the other.

Seeing his partner out of sight made him feel even more scared. He turns around and saw y/n a mere foot away. He jumps back before he flew in the air. "Y-you just got lucky, bastard!" He yells before flying away. "We'll be back!"

Seeing them out of sight made y/n smirk while crossing his arms. "Heh. That should teach them." He says with pride.

A moment of silence passes before he heard a voice to his side. "U-umm...mister?"

"?" Y/n looks down to his side and saw the little girl standing there. She was looking up at him with an unreadable expression. Y/n sighs as his smirk disappears whilst rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry you had to see that, kid." He turns his body to face her. "I understand if you're afraid of me-."

"How did you do that?" The girl asks with curiosity.

"???" Y/n's eyes widen a little. He was caught off guard by her question. He expected her to call him a monster or something bad but yet she didn't. "How did I do what?"

"Everything..." Was all she said for a moment. She doesn't continue for a bit as she simply stares at him. "You're only a human, right? My nose didn't pick up any supernatural scent off of you."

A nervous sweat drops down on y/n's face. He scratches his cheek as he averts his gaze. "W-well...yeah...I am human, but..." He trails off when something came to mind. He turns back to the girl as she was still staring at him. "Hey, what's your name?"

"My name?" The girl asks in confusion.

Y/n nods. "Yeah. I saved you and you apparently don't seemed bothered by me killing people...so who and what exactly are you?"

The girl stares at him for a moment. She smiles a little as two fox ears appear on her head and six fox tails appear behind her back.

"I am Kunou." Kunou explains. "And I am a Youkai."

Y/n's POV

'K-Kunou..?' I thought. 'And she's a Youkai?!' My mind was going a million miles an hour. Why does that name sound familiar?! Why does she smell like someone I should know?! Why-?!

"Are you okay, mister?" I felt Kunou tug on my shirt.

I snap out of my thoughts as I look down at her. I could feel my heart slowly beating faster the more I think about my questions.

"Y-Yeah." I lie. "I'm fine. You don't need to call me mister by the way. I'm y/n."

"Y/n...?" I heard her mutter as if she didn't believe me. "Are you sure you're a regular human? I've never seen a human summon lightning and weapons before besides Sacred Gears."

I nervously nod. "I am human..." I pause to think of an answer. An idea hit me, but it was pretty dumb. "I-I'm from America. Americans have special abilities." I let out a nervous laugh. 'Damnit, me! What the hell are you thinking! She won't believe-!'

"Really?" She asks in awe. I look down at her and saw her eyes glisten with amazement.

'Did she...? No, no. She didn't actually buy that, right?' I was about to tell her the truth, but perhaps she doesn't actually know. "Yeah..."

Her mouth was open. She looked at me as if I was a god or something. I felt a little bad for lying, but the less she actually knows, the better she'll be. I decided it was best to change the subject.

"What were you doing out here by yourself, Kunou?" I ask. "You should know it's dangerous for a Youkai like yourself to be out and alone. If I wasn't around you probably-."

"Something has been lurking in Kyoto." Kunou interrupts me, making me confused. "For the past few days, something has been attacking remote areas in this city randomly. Every time anyone tried to find the culprit, it disappears before we can identify it. I decided I wanted to help, but that was until-."

"You were attacked by the Fallen Angels?" I tried to piece things together. "And you were that little fox that running through traffic on the sidewalk, correct?"

Kunou nods. "Yes. But I don't understand why. Fallen Angels have been on good terms with the Youkai for a long time."

"Maybe there's a rouge group?" I spit out a possibility. "Maybe they decided to break your alliance?"

Kunou shrugs. Damnit, should've grabbed one of the survivors to get some answers. Oh well, I guess. They swore they'll be back, so maybe-."

"Do you think the Red Dragon Emperor can help us?" I heard Kunou say over my thoughts.

"Huh? The Red Dragon Emperor?" I repeat in confusion.

Kunou nods excitingly. "Yes! He and his friends helped save my mother."

"I-I see...how long ago was that?" I asks. 'Why was the Red Dragon here?'

"Almost ten months ago."

My eyes widen a little. 'He was seriously here during the war?' I shook my thoughts out again. "I don't know if he can help. He might be busy."

Kunou looks down, probably sadden by my opinion. I sigh. This isn't helping at all.

"You should get home as soon as you can. If the Fallen Angels were after you already, then they must want you for something. It's too dangerous for you to be out right now."

Kunou nods in understanding. "Will you take me home?"

"Sure." I said without hesitation. It took a second for me to realize what I just said. 'W-wait- I didn't-!'

"Yay!" Kunou shouts in excitement. "Let's go!" She began to walk away to somewhere as I simply stood still like an idiot.

'Fuck! I didn't mean yes!' I mentally slap myself in the face. 'I-!'

"Come on!" I heard Kunou shout at me. I saw her waving at me with a smile on her face. I wanted to tell her I can't, but that smile...it felt familiar...

I sigh again, this time mostly irritated at myself. "Fine," I say in defeat as I slouch and shove my hands in my pockets. "I'm coming, I'm coming." I began following her. 'Maybe I can found out why she seems familiar...' I tried to put a positive spin on this. But I'm pretty sure Luna won't be pleased with my tardiness... Oh well, I can text her the situation in a bit.

To be continued...
