"Who is that kid? Why do I keep seeing him? Do I know him?" Netto asked himself.
Something banged on the dumpster's lid, interrupting his thoughts.
"No! They know I'm in here!" He couldn't keep himself from shaking.
A pack of ferocious dog creatures tore through the metal of the dumpster and he quickly leapt out of the mass of trash, too frightened to look back.
"Shit!" Netto turned the corner, the hellhounds burning their way through the alleyway. Intense flames lit the walls, eating away at the brick.
"What a great time to confront my fear of hellish canines!" Netto yelled sarcastically.
…
"What will you do, Hikari Netto?" Samael laughed, watching the boy run through the watchful eye of one of his hounds. "The darkness will swallow you. You will die in agony with the memories of Tohru's discarded body! Be reborn in Paradise! You cannot escape!"
Blood escaping like a waterfall in a circle. The demon's arm impaled on a silver sword, moved in a triangular formation to his chuckle. Fingers brought together.
"The Mark of Paradise will bring about salvation soon." His green hair reflected the endless moonlight, the blood fading into the flame-lit floor. "Very soon…"
…
Netto tripped, the hellhounds closing in on him from all directions. "No! Tohru-kun, save me! I don't want to die! Not without you! Please!"
