A/N: Hi! Haven't updated for a long time, but that's because I wrote part of the story and lost it and I didn't want to have to write it over again, but I found it in my school folder! . Same disclaimer, if you need to see it again, go to the first part. On with the story!
Pt II
People stopped lazily strolling the streets and gawked at me when I walked by. I wondered what they were staring at me for… It wasn't that obvious that I was a fire demon. In fact, I didn't even look like any other fire demon that I knew. I started to worry.
Someone grabbed my arm and immediately I turned around to slap their hand away. "Excuse me young man, are you okay? Your eye looks awful. Would you like some ice?"
So that's what people were staring at. Whose business was it if I had a swollen eye anyways? Never-the-less, I was relieved.
I looked down at her hand to see that it was very red. Guilt came close to taking over, but it was the Ningen's fault in the first place. "Hn," was my reply.
The lady smiled and took my irritated noise as a yes. She took my hand and talked pleasantly, just like we were old friends. I was so surprised that she didn't mind me hitting her that I missed half of what she said. It was something about how rough young boys could be and that she had her own little boy about my age. I tuned in to hear, "By the way, where are you from?"
I panicked and broke free from her hand. I couldn't think of an excuse so I ran away from her. She couldn't see me run because she was human and my speed was too fast for her human eyes to follow. I just kept running, not paying attention to where I was going.
It was funny to watch the Ningens, though. They were confused as to why there were sudden winds that blew their clothing around on a perfectly sunny, clear, calm day. I laughed, stupid Ningens, but my voice was probably carried off in the wind that I had created.
When I saw a forest in sight, I kept running until I reached the tallest tree. The smell of pine and the privacy made me feel like I was back in the Makai. I raced up the top of the towering tree in fifteen seconds and I wasn't even tired. Idiotic Ningens, how was I ever going to find a partner in crime!? They didn't even see the blur of color as I ran by… This was hopeless. I was thinking about going back home, but then I saw him…
