And Koda did smell you, Akira specifically watched for it. Koda however, ignored it after that small acknowledgement.

I wonder why he doesn't like her... He thought to himself as he opened his mouth to speak.

"I told you to stay put." He tossed a large bag at Koda. "Here."

"How long do I have to hide out in a tiny place like this?"

"It's a mess down there. Everyone knows your face. You'd get hunted down right away." Akira pulled you down to sit with him on the roof.

"It's your fault everyone knows who I am right now." He ate the food on his skewer.

"There must be other Devilmen besides ourselves."

"Kill me if it's just the two of us. If I bring more, think we can live here?" He finished his bite and stared over at the arena. "That place looks bigger than here."

While it certainly did, you really didn't think there was going to be a lot more devilman, especially just out in the open. But nevertheless, you and Akira said your goodbyes and decided to go back home and then go out for a quick walk.

However, your plans were thwarted by your big brother.

"Where are you going?" Ryo didn't even bother to look up from his computer.

"Just for a walk." You stopped and answered him.

"I'm going with her, we'll be back soon."Akira pulled you along.

"No. My baby sister can just stay here for the rest of the day. It looks pretty bad out there."

"I can protect her."

"I can protect myself, thanks boys." You rolled your eyes and stood in the living room with your arms crossed.

"Regardless, I want you to stay home." Ryo looked up briefly. "Come sit with me."

You huffed but decided it wasn't worth the fight, so you kissed Akira goodbye for the moment. Then, you sat next to him and waited for Akira to leave.

"Are you ready yet? For your memories?" You laid your head on his shoulder.

"I think... soon. Within the next few weeks... YN?" He paused, but didn't look at you.

"Yes, Ryo?"

"Will you still act the same around me? Am I completely different?" He looked down at his lap.

"Hmm. You'll probably want me to act differently, but I wouldn't have to. You are however, quite different. But I miss that too."

Ryo sat in silence and contemplated the answer. It want to know what she's talking about, but I don't want anything to come unnaturally. Soon, I shall ask Jenny for these memories back.

You on the other hand, had found yourself wondering if things would be better or worse with the memories.

I probably wouldn't care too much. I have Akira now, after all. And he's so strong, I don't think he'll be... too hurt. Your thoughts drifted off until your eye drifted closed.

You dreamed of a world without humans. It was hot and everything was broken. Demons never cared what their environment looked like, which was hard on you. You hadn't grown up sleeping on rock floors and lava dripping all around you. Instead, you had to cope with it however you could and you were thankful that humans had such wonderful beds nowadays.
