1st POV

I hate them. All of them… ever since that day, I began to hate the devils. I really want to end them, I want to show them what kind of monster they created when they decided to attack my home. But, there's an old saying; 'the enemy of my enemy is my ally', I don't remember who said it, but he was right, and the reason is a good friend that I met after the accident. A stray who was in the run, from what she told me, she wants to be with her sister, but it's impossible for her. Her name was Kuroka, I have to admit, if I was a boy, I would drool at her sight… even if I'm a girl, I do have that feeling sometimes. Anyways, from the day I met her, I also met someone whose power was crushing, if I remember his name, it was Vali, Vali Lucifer. Speaking of the devil, he appeared at that moment.

3rd POV

"Long time no see Kumiko" said Vali.

"What do you want" asked, or rather, demanded the girl Kumiko Hijikata.

"We have a problem with some devils nearby" replied Vali "Go deal with them"

The girl cracked her neck before that a mist ate her, the moment it left her she was in a full samurai armor "I'll show them what happened to the last ones that came this way"

Vali chuckled before saying "Have fun out there" before disappearing.

"Yeah… fun…" mumbled Kumiko before walking away with a katana in her left hand.

In the streets of Kyoto, five beings with bat like wings and dark armors were walking down in a dark alley between two large buildings.

"This is where the last team was before being killed" said one of them "There's a lot of chances that the S stray might be the responsible"

As they were watching around them something dropped on one of them, they all turned and saw a samurai with its sword in the creature's back.

"Who's that!" asked one of the survivors in a hurry.

The Samurai looked at them before taking the sword from the body and then rushed another one before doing an overhead attack that left the sword attached on the victim's torso before pressing the sword downward, forcing the devil to kneel, the samurai then used the knee to jump higher just to bring the sword down, cutting the head.

"What the hell is that!" asked another one as he decided to use an axe, but the samurai pushed the weapon away and began to attack the devil with fast attacks that ended with the devil being dazed as the samurai brought the weapon to the neck before cutting the head clean off.

"Who's that?!" asked one of the two remaining devils before seeing a mist that engulfed the samurai an when it was gone, it wasn't the same samurai, but what one could describe as a ronin, but this time, it showed to them the visage of their assailant. To their shock it was a girl.

"Three down" she said coldly "Two more and I would be able to go eat some ramens before going home"

"We need to inform the satans about this" said one of the two devils.

"But before that, let's deal with this one. Capturing her alive is out priority" said the other one while charging the samurai girl with a dark spear, but the girl formed an X with two swords before kicking him toward a wall, the time he lift his eyes, he found himself impaled by one of the swords before that he could understand what happened, he found the swords impaled in his throat. The girl rolled back, which forced the devil to follow her movements, but she then used her right feet to push him away, in which resulted in a decapitation.

The last devil tried to get away, but he was shot by an arrow. The girl walked toward him and took out a pouch full of salt, with what she created a circle around the devil, and she took some in her hands before blowing it on his face. The devil cried in agony before becoming a statue made of salt.

"Work's done" said the girl before that the mist engulfed her again, leaving her in normal clothing "I wonder if the old Gakure is still open" she then walked away from the place.

Kumiko POV

Nothing beats a good bowl of ramen after a hard work, and there's no bowl of ramen that can beat Gakure's one.

"How did it go" said Vali after sitting next to me.

"I'm still alive, right?" I asked as I looked at him while chewing some ramens.

Vali chuckled before saying "How about going somewhere new?"

"Is there Gakure's ramens?" I asked with a flat look.

"There's something that I want you to do for me" he replied, not answering my question.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked after swallowing some ramens.

"I want you to investigate something" he replied "I know that the Red Dragon Emperor is there, but not who"

An investigation mission huh, I ended the bowl before saying "When do I leave?"
