~Prologue~Hunter~

~Narrator Version~

It was the middle of the night, where demons come out to steal souls from foolish mortals and hunters hunt for demons for more power. In this particular night, the rarest demons called akumas comes out every year from the hell empire track and eats the tracker's soul. A tracker's soul is quite rare because after the Umarekawatta War, the trackers' population lessened as a condition for ending the conflict.

In the distance, there is a black cat, with one eye emerald green and the other crimson red, sniffing for the akumas. The cat ran and hid in the shadows. "There's one coming our way." said the cat. "Good." said the hunter.

He was 16 year old with snow white hair with bangs and he had a mask on. Yet you could see the red crimson eyes stand out and shine from underneath the cover. He was wearing a navy blue turtleneck shirt and black skinny jeans with a black jacket that was a bit longer than his knees.

The hunter grabbed his sword handle on his side but didn't pull it out. There, an akuma appeared. He was clearly hungry and was looking for food. The hunter moved closer to the akuma from building to building without the demon noticing. The akuma was too busy looking for food in an empty grocery store. He saw a delicious, red apple on the left side of the store counter and was going to pick it up and eat it but when he was an inch away from it, his hand got frozen. The akuma got confused and looked at his hand. He then shrugged and tried picking up the apple with the other hand but then it also got frozen. The akuma got scared and looked at his right side. There was no sign of anyone. He turned and then looked back to the apples.

Suddenly there was a sword a centimeter near his neck. "Do we have to do this the easy way or the hard way?" said the hunter. The akuma got so scared that it disappeared. The akuma was jumping rooftop to rooftop, trying to get away from the hunter, but the ice grew faster and faster that it froze his entire body apart for his head. The hunter caught up with him with the odd-eyed cat. "Your first mistake was being careless. Second mistake was not looking at your left side. And your third mistake was not knowing that the ice grows as you move around more." said the hunter coolly. He walked to the akuma. The demon tried to move but failed and the ice grew more. "What do you want?" the akuma said is a shakily voice. "Simple. I just want to know where the tracker is." He smirked. "According to my sources there's one here." He added. "Well, there are not many trackers in this world. In fact there is only one tracker here in this world. She's here in this town. Here." The akuma got out a photo. The hunter got the photo from him. It was a photo of girl. She looked 16 with ebony black pigtails with bangs and green emerald eyes. "Her name is Shizuko Aya, she's the tracker." said the akuma. "Shizuki Aya." the hunter repeated, gazing at the photo.

The hunter pulled out his sword. "WHAAATCHA DOING WITH THAT SWORD?" the akuma shouted, eying the weapon with fright. "Well isn't it obvious. I gonna kill you." replied the hunter without any emotion. "KILL ME? WAIT! DON-" The hunter sliced the head off his body before the akuma finished his sentence, leaving a trail of blood behind. Then he walked away while putting his bloodied sword back in his sword belt. "Shizuko Aya" said the hunter once more. He took off his mask and put the photo in his pocket. "It would be a pleasure to meet you." said the hunter with a grin.
