"What...what the hell?!"
Emilia Justine, better known as Emi Yusa among the humans, sat in shock at the sight before her. She couldn't stand, for her power was deprived. However, it wasn't by a dark force. It was by her own - yet unintended - ability.
"Emi, what did you do?!" Satan, now called Sadao Maou stood in shock as smoke began to build. The adversary floated above both the Devil and the Hero with a sadistic grin.
"My, my. Look at what the hero has so graciously done," he said, earning a glare from the two. "Now I have someone else to deprive the Better Half from."
There was a girl that was standing in the midst of the clearing smoke. Her long, midnight blue hair had become snow white and fell to her back as the power broke through her band. Her once violet-colored eyes had become a bit brighter, a wine red in the sense. Her nice blouse and dress pants had become a dark-colored armor almost instantly. She felt odd, but looked unnerved.
"..."
"Um...?" Emi spoke out, figuring the sudden conversion was too much for her since she was but a mere human. However, said girl didn't pay any mind to her. Her focus was the man terrorizing the city.
"Hm?" He looked on curiously, floating down towards her. "Why the sudden death glare? Just a second ago, you were-"
His eyes widened as the girl suddenly disappeared and he felt a sudden pain across his chest.
"What?" The girl that suddenly held Emi's power was floating behind the man who gripped at his wound. The sword in her hand was lightly stained with fallen angel blood. She didn't seem to let up on her death glare, but the man was strongly surprised then. "Dammit..."
It was his turn to vanish then, and he wasn't going to return for a short while.
"...!" Emi and Sadao couldn't believe their eyes.
It's as if she's done this before!
The armored girl's eyes began to fall blank, her body deteriorating the dark metal that she had suddenly acquired. It was then she began falling from the sky.
"Whoa, whoa!" Sadao managed to catch her before he looked over at Emi. "Just what did you do?! How'd she get this power?!"
The Hero glared, but was a bit too surprised to really think straight. "I don't know! It was an accident! I didn't mean to strike her in the first place!"
"Come on, we have to get her out of here."
The Next Day
Yuri Anakomiya slowly opened her eyes, trying to figure everything out.
"Huh?! I slept in?! Crap, I'm gonna be late for work!" She sat up quickly before she placed a hand to her chest. It began to throb painfully. "Ow... Hey."
She pulled open her blouse and looked down at her chest. There was what looked to be a burn mark at her heart.
"I was...stabbed."
The bluenette closed her eyes, placing her hand to her head to try and remember the events. She saw herself riding her bike to work and noticing two people fighting a flying man.
A flying man?! She had nearly crashed into a parked car before she found herself pierced by a sword?
"That can't be right." Her thoughts were overrun by the sudden ring of her doorbell. "C-Coming!"
She moved from her bed and placed on her slippers, noticing then that her hair was out of its ponytail and falling over her shoulders as she leaned down to dust them off.
"What the...?" She stood up straight and pushed it back before moving to open her door. "Yes?"
"Yuuuurrrriiii!"
She shrieked at the visitor's sudden leap and was tackled into the floor. The person then had their face within her chest.
"Kohuro! What the heck?!" The voice was all too familiar. Yuri tried her best to shove him off, but he was holding onto her too tightly to let her do so. "Get off me, you perv!"
"But... I worried about you! Especially after these strangers showed up and told me that my breast-est friend was hurt!"
"I'm hurt, thanks to you! And wait, what strangers?" Yuri looked up as Kohuro pointed back. There stood a male and a female.
The Hero and the Devil.
"You're the two from yesterday!"
"Yeeeaaaah... Hi, I'm sorry for the intrusion, but we figured we would both come over and apologize for putting you in danger," said the girl. "Also, in any way, we truly need to make it up to you."
"Last I checked, I'm not the one who stabbed a stranger." Even muttering didn't save him from being sore in the foot from the girl stomping with her heel. "Ow ow ow ow! I-I mean, yes! We are both very - ow! - sorry!"
That stomp was well placed.
"Oh, u-uh, if I wasn't hospitalized," Yuri said as she sat up and managed to shove Kohuro off with a bit more ease, "then I should be fine. Thank you very much for your concern and your apologies, Missus..."
"M-Missus?!" The girl jumped before her eye began to twitch and she faked a new smile. "N-No, ma'am. I am not married to this moron. I'm Emi Yusa."
The dark-haired male next to her was kneeling down and rubbing his pained foot. "And I'm Sadao Maou. I see that I don't live too far from you. You'll most likely see me often since I take this way to work from my home down the street."
"Interesting. I'll try and remember that."
"Well, I have to get to work, so I'll come back and check on you later. Plus, I guess I'll have to explain it all to you as well." Emi began walking away with a kind smile and wave. "Maou, go to work."
"Yeah, yeah." Sadao stood up and bowed to her before he left as well. "See ya, uh..."
"I-It's Yuri! Yuri Anakomiya."
"Okay, Yuri. We'll come back after work then."
The bluenette nodded before she moved to her feet and watched them interact in a somewhat aggressive form. Although she didn't really know them, she needed to have an understanding as to how she was struck directly by a sword, but didn't die.
"Ko, go home."
"Huh?!" The young male with snow white was caught off guard by this, and the surprise was apparent in his hazel eyes. "What did I do?"
"Nothing. It's what you would PROBABLY do if I let you stay in here while I get ready for work. Go, shoo. Now."
"Aww..." And with that, slowly but surely, he left the girl.
. . .
"Does she not know that she took on a Fallen Angel yesterday as if it were nothing?" Emi muttered as she walked onward to the train station.
Sadao was walking nearby, hearing her as if he spoke to her. For all he knew, she did. "Maybe she has. But I've never seen her in Ente Isla before. Especially not as an adversary."
Not bothering to worry about his eavesdropping, she began to think more.
"Maybe something is wrong with her memory. She seemed like an innocent bystander before I stabbed her..."
"Ha. So you do admit that you nearly killed a girl for no reason?"
"Shut it, demon!" Emi stopped walking and turned to him with a glare, but the Devil couldn't help but grin mischievously. "It was an accident, got it?!"
"Whatever, crazy. Go to work." Sadao moved to go back to his home to get ready for work. "Oh, and not try to kill any more girls with bigger chests, okay? You'll be arrested and that's bad for a Hero."
Emi's face turn a deep crimson from embarrassment and rage. She knew he was just enjoying the agitation he brought about. "You bastard! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!"
Sadao's door closed then, and she was even angrier.
"You're lucky I have to go to work..."
{Pretty short, but yeah. That's just the start XD That's how most of my beginnings are... Enjoy!}
