by DarkDracul1252

Nawin Makasha, a boy, changed after a dark event occurred in the past that left him scarred. He and his family moved to Japan to start a new life, but when Nawin joined Kuoh Academy, things began to change for him when he is thrust into the world of supernatural by force. Past will come back and haunt, Evil will rain down, Bonds will be severed. Will Nawin and his friends be ready?

157. Carnage In Red Spiral, Deep Connection

First, I want to say sorry for the delay, everyone! Last week I suffered from a sickness that took me a little over a week to recover from.

Fortunately, I am better now to present to all of you the next chapter!

Hope everyone enjoys it!

"Ehehehe!" the energetic ten-year-old Nawin bolts out of the house, skipping for the front gate but instead of pushing it, he spins around and raises his right arm to wave. A big and adorable grin adorned on his slightly chubby face. "Come on, Sayomi! We gotta hurry before there are too many people!"

Stopping by the front door, Sayomi sends a warm smile to the exciting boy. "I'm coming, my dear." Before the Pureblood was able to take a step out, a voice from behind stops her. "Sayomi," Yao steps out from the living room and stand at the hallway, looking at the Vampire's back. Sayomi's eyes become sharp ever slightly then glance back at the Mother. Yao's eyes were anything but soft or warm. "Look after him... If he gets taken and put through that situation again, then things will have to change."

Silence fell between the two for several seconds before Sayomi opens her mouth to give a response. "Your son is my whole world... I won't let any harm come to him again, Yao." With that answer, Sayomi turns forward and steps out of the house, walking towards Nawin. The hardness in Yao's eyes considerably softens when she watches her beloved son takes the Pureblood hand with glee before both of them departs to the park. When looking at how the two interact, love is the word that would come to anyone's mind. Seeing how happy her son regularly is when he's with Sayomi made those words Yao said hurt her. But, she would say it a thousand more if it helps keep her precious son safe.

After taking Nawin to Shinko park, Sayomi needs a moment to relax by the bench, watching Nawin playing in a sandbox. She wears a loving smile when seeing the young boy just beaming while creating some sort of castle out of the sand. Playing in a sandbox has been one of Nawin's favorite activities.

Though, that smile wanes ever slowly as Sayomi's mind drags back to the event transpired just a few days before. The horrid event of which Nawin got kidnapped by Fallen Angels when he tried to interfere with their hunt. Sayomi's face twitches when she remembers the madman of a scientist that hired the Fallen Angels ready to experiment with Nawin just before she arrived.

Sayomi remembered the absolute furious look on Yao's face when she told her the story. Jonathan was the same with his wife, but he hid it well. And in truth, if it wasn't for his calm words, Yao may have done more than just lecturing. Sayomi knew she should have gone with Nawin to pick up the ice creams, but she allowed him to persuade her that he can go alone. When Nawin gave that adorable grin, Sayomi just couldn't find herself fighting against him. And that naive weakness led the event to happen.

Suddenly, Sayomi's sight shift to the right to the forest area of the park. Her eyes begin to glow while the pupils sharpen. A Stray Devil hiding behind the tree, a man dressed in a discreet black cloak gasp and stumbles back in fear by the glare. Those blood-red eyes hold so much wrath and power that it causes his heart to freeze. Before the man even has the chance to take another step to retreat, his entire being implodes in a gush of blood and organs that paints the green grass in black.

'Fucking strays,' Sayomi spat with hatred 'Dare laying their disgusting sights on him.' "Sayomi?" small hands reach up and grab hold of the Pureblood's knees. Blinking, Sayomi shifts her head down to see Nawin looking up at her with those big brown eyes. Concern shines in them. "Are you angry?" the boy innocently asks, "Your eyes are glowing!" Seeing Nawin immediately sets Sayomi at ease and calm her heart. She offers a reassuring smile. "It's ok, my dear. You needn't worry."

Reaching her arms forward, Sayomi was ready to grab the Makasha's cheek until he suddenly vanishes from existence. Seating there still, Sayomi's eyes widen in disbelief as her arms begin to shake. She stands up and looks around to find the boy. "Nawin!" Sayomi calls out and receives no reply. 'You lost him,' a haunting voice of herself whisper from behind, and the Dracul turns around to see emptiness. She starts panting as her heart rate quickens to a frantic degree. Sweat starts dripping down her forehead. "NAWIN!" Sayomi shouts one more with so much force that the entire world turns white.

"Sayomi!" Snapping her eyes open, the Pureblood finds herself on the bed and gasp when seeing Nawin below her. His wide eyes stare back at her while her left hand is bound around his neck. Her right hand rests near his head with the sharp nails just inches away from the forehead. Sayomi's feels her heart quickens, and it only further increases when the realization that she could have just killed Nawin don on her mind.

"N-Nawin," Sayomi whispers in shaken tone as she releases her grip on the Makasha's neck to allow him to breathe freely. Nawin quickly gulps down air to fill his lungs while still keeping eye contact with the Pureblood. Next, Sayomi hops off the bed and lands at the end of it. Without a word uttered, the Pureblood storm to the bathroom and slams the door shut. Nawin sits up and stares at the door with a perplex expression.

Time Skip

With what had transpired this morning, Nawin decided to take upon himself to handle their breakfast part. Considering the Motel don't offer any kind of room service. He heads to a market street near the Motel to pick up meals from the variety of small restaurant littering the street. The choice was rather overwhelming as there were easily over dozens of restaurants and food trucks to pick from. But, after a good half an hour, Nawin was able to get a decent amount of dish for two people.

Managing out of the bustling market, Nawin switch to a small and quiet street to head back to the Motel. A couple of plastic bags is carried on his left hand. While passing by a few bystanders, Nawin blinks when noticing a group of five men dressed in casual clothes is taking a smoke in front of a closed store. Huddling up close and chattering quietly. Seeing this, the Makasha simply steer away from them by moving off the pavement and walking on the side of the road.

As Nawin walks by the group, one of the men suddenly snatch him by the shoulder, and before Nawin could counter, a fist comes from another individual and hits him on the side of the head that knocks him to the ground. "So, you are Nawin Makasha?" one of them sneers out and glares at the teenager. Nawin looks up and can just tell by that killer look in the men's' eyes that they are part of the Jaakuna Shi.

"Disguise, huh?" Nawin gives a smirk which has one of the men, in rage, fires a kick for the head, but it misses when the Makasha backflips and push himself to his feet. Setting the bags on a bench, Nawin takes a step forward and wears a sharp expression. Two men launch ahead with their fists raised. Getting to his stance, Nawin is surprised when the two suddenly split to the sides, and another individual from behind them rush forward as a surprise, jumping to the air while bringing a steel pipe down. Nawin brings both arms up and crosses it to block the strike between the gap.

"You guys aren't just mindless brawlers, aye?" Nawin retort and push the man back then sends forward a right kick that connects to the stomach which sends the criminal blasting away in midair. The two attackers rush forward and strike with their fists. Nawin sidesteps the attack from the left then ducks to miss the other strike. He retaliates by standing up and swinging an uppercut that connects to the man on the right, hitting his chin with such force it sends him to the air before crashing to the ground, knocked out. The other attacker quickly acts and deliver a roundhouse kick, but Nawin catches his leg and pulls him forward to give a brutal downward punch to the face. The criminal's entire body bangs to the ground and lays unmoved.

"Ahhh!" Nawin is surprised by a sudden tackle that sends him to the ground. Two other men come rushing to the sides and start stomping him in the face relentlessly. Nawin cuss and brings his arms up to block some of the strikes. The other man that did the tackling sits up and delivers an elbow down to the Makasha's stomach. Nawin coughs and gets momentarily stunned which cause a barrage of kicks to hit his head.

"Grrghh!" Nawin growls in anger and brings his arms up to snatch the pair's legs then shoots up to headbutt the guy that had him pinned to the ground. "Gahh! My fucking nose!" the man yells in pain and tumbles back which free Nawin. Without delay, Nawin kips up and with his superior strength pulls the two criminals along with him and slams them facefirst to the ground as he lands on his feet. Releasing his grip, Nawin turns to the last conscious man in front of him. Blood is still leaking down his surely broken nose from the vicious headbutt, he looks at the Makasha with fear.

Bending over, Nawin snatches the man by the collar of his shirt and pulls him off the ground. He turns around and throws the man into the wall. His front body collides into the solid wall before he drops to his knees. Nawin grabs the breakfast bags then deliver a vicious right knee to the side of the criminal's head. The head bounces off the assault and smashes into the wall once more to effectively knock the man out.

Without looking back at the pile of unconscious bodies laid on the street, Nawin resume to the Motel at a moderate pace.

Unlocking the door, Nawin twists the knob with the key and push it open to enter the room. Not a second later, he is greeted with Sayomi stopping right in front of his face. Her eyes are flaring with anger. "Where were you?!" she shouts which have Nawin blink in surprise. He brings the bags up "Getting us breakfast" "And those bruises on your face?" "Just some members of the gang got the jump on me. Seems like I got their attention." Nawin sides step and walk to the dining table to set the bags down.

Turning around, Nawin notice Sayomi is fully dressed in the same attire as yesterday. His eyes narrow. "What's with you today?" he asks. Sayomi's eyes soften, and she crosses her arms, taking an exhales "... Merely a bad dream," "I figured. Tried waking you up from it only to end being pinned to the bed and close to being killed." Sayomi's grits her teeth in rage at the memory and cocks her sight to the Makasha. "I got it, alright!" Nawin is taken aback by the sudden loud reply. "I'm..." Sayomi brings her eyes up once again to meet with Nawin's "I'm sorry, my dear."

Once again, the Dracul continue to surprise Nawin today. He can clearly catch the sincerity in those words. He is astonished to learn that Sayomi has taken it really hard of what occurred this morning and truthfully, it warms his heart to know this. "It's ok," Nawin replies, wearing a gentle smile, "I forgive you. It's not like it was on purpose." Sayomi is able to crack a smile of relief and nod in response.

With that settled, Nawin headed to the kitchen to fetch the utensils and plates while Sayomi unties the bags to get their breakfast out. Not long after the two are seated at the table and enjoying their food.

"Guess I pick the right stuff?" Nawin comment with a smile when seeing Sayomi digging into the teriyaki fish without delay. She uses the chopsticks to scoop up some rice from the bowl and sets it in her mouth. "Can't go wrong with classic Japanese breakfast, my dear," she replies after swallowing. With a chuckle, Nawin continues to eat his food. For the first time this morning, a calm and warm air surrounds the pair.

After done with her food, Sayomi grabs the cup of water and takes a few sips of it before shifting gaze across the table to Nawin. "So, what's your plan for today?" the Makasha sets the chopsticks down then wipes his mouth with a napkin before placing it on the table. He looks up to meet with the Pureblood's eyes. "Head to Red Spiral tonight and have a chat with the boss of Jaakuna Shi, son. He deals with the sex business, so he'll no doubt know where Aiko is." "Nawin," Sayomi speaks in a serious tone "You are aware there's a chance-" "Chance I am too late?" Nawin finish with a weak smile "I realized that, Sayomi. There is a chance Aiko could be... Not the same person anymore, but I won't stop until I see her" "Understandable, but it's also best you prepared for the worst."

Nawin stare at his hands that's clenched together for a moment before lifting his eyes back to Sayomi. "What's your plan?" There is no immediate answer from the Dracul as she simply gazes at Nawin. She can see there's nervousness in those brown orbs. Even fear. Recognizing this reminds Sayomi of that horrid night she tried to search for Nawin. The feeling she felt during that night was absolutely heart-wrenching, and in a way, Nawin currently is in that position. Even though he holds no significant attachment to Aiko, he fears to fail her and no doubt her family that pleaded for his help.

"I'm going with you." Nawin is taken aback by the Pureblood's answer "P-pardon?" he stutters "This doesn't concern you though." "It doesn't, but you are my concern," Sayomi state. Nawin goes silent and simply look at the Dracul with wide eyes. "Also," she continues, cocking her head to the right to look out the window "The group you are dealing with are the kind of scums I loathe. Kidnapping people to use them in such ways sickens me. So, it'll be a pleasure for me to be there with you in bringing them down."

Hearing that Sayomi will be by his side for tonight's infiltration brings an unexpected relief and warmth in Nawin's heart. "Thank you," is all the Makasha could utter, which have Sayomi shift her attention to him and gives a tender smile "Of course, my dear." Even though Nawin sees this relationship between them is as enigmatic as ever. He can't help but feel there's a level of understanding now share between them.

Elsewhere

Setting the claret glass down on the mahogany table, a tall, middle-aged man with slicked-back gray-hair exhales a tiresome sigh. Removing his sizeable right hand from his face and placing it on the counter. The sound of clicks is caused by the four gold rings worn on all the fingers except the pinkie contact a surface. The man dressed in an expensive red-wine color suit shift his silver gaze to the fireplace on the right, watching the orange flames flicker and create a crackling noise which he finds quite soothing to listen.

Standing behind the counter is a young, handsome blonde man with long, wavy hair that falls past his slender shoulders. He is a tall and thin individual with a sharp facial structure, maroon color eyes that shimmer in subtle mischief. His attire consists of a clean butler suit.

"Unhappy with the news?" the butler asks with a faint smirk, pouring another drink for his Boss. "Out of all the devils that damn family could summon... It had to be the Black Flash," the gray-haired man grunts out through gritted teeth. "Your son isn't very bright," the butler state, setting the bottle down then rest his hands at the counter, looking at his superior in the eyes "Hiring a third-party to handle that kind of job. They wouldn't know a summoning pamphlet if it smacks them in the face."

"Got his brashness from that stupid mother of his," the man spat, grabbing the glass to take a small sip before setting it back on the table. He looks up to the butler, staring at those devilish eyes. "Even though he is stupid... He is still my son. I rather not lose him." "Aiko Tatami is the latest girl in his possession. Her family summoned the Black Flash as counterattack... To be honest, Sir, your son just signed his deathwish." "But the Black Flash is forbidden to use his powers. He is dealing with human crime."

A snake-like smirk spread on the butler's face. "Come now, Satoshi-san. The Black Flash has accomplished feats that would make even the Lords and Archdukes envy. You think few dozen thugs or gunmen can simply take him down even when he is restricted from using his powers?" "... Then what is your suggestion?" "Abandon your son to his fate and run out of town?" the butler says and sniggers at his own comment. The gray-haired man was far from amused by the answer and return with a sharp look.

"If not that... Then I strongly advise you to send out as many men that you have available, Satoshi-san because you are going to need it." The Boss of Jaakuna Shi grabs the glass once more and finish the drink in one large gulp before slamming it back on the table. He reaches in his pocket to pull out a phone. "What about that woman accompanying him?" the butler grabs the glass and place it in the sink then gives a shrug "I have no information on her but judging by her appearance, she is a vampire no doubt. A vampire outside of their own realm are usually weak, so I doubt we have to worry much about her."

Ginza

"How do you know of this place?" Sayomi asks, standing beside Nawin with her arms crossed underneath her bountiful breast. The beauty of the Pureblood brings many eyes to her from all the civilians that would walk past them. That be the male or female. "Aiko's boyfriend texted me about it. He thought it'll help me" "It certainly will be considering you are intending not to use your powers unless necessary."

Nawin glance at the Dracul. "A battle is inevitable tonight, and I intend to handle it, but if you find yourself in the crossfire, can you not use your powers?" Sayomi response is a dull stare "That rule doesn't apply to me, my dear. I am above that." "Sayomi..." Nawin gives an almost pleading look, "Please, just for tonight don't use your powers. It will be one less thing I have to worry about." Sayomi's eyes slowly widen at the Makasha's plea. She finds herself looking to the opposite direction, unable to keep contact with those eyes. "... Fine, since you asked politely." Nawin gives a gracious smile, "Thank you."

With that, the pair enter the pawnshop set in an alleyway. When inside, Nawin looks around and sees it holds an appearance like any other pawnshops he has seen in pictures and movies. Items upon items clutter the walls and in display cases. Fortunately, the place is currently empty of customers.

Looking around, Nawin notices a large man seated on a chair behind the counter, reading some newspaper. He approaches the bald man and knocks on the glass to get his attention. Sayomi simply browses through the wares in small curiosity. "Morning," the man greets with a kind smile, folding the newspaper before standing up. "What is it you're interested in?" "Withhold the trigger until you're certain," Nawin replies.

The older man blinks in surprise, taken aback by those words. "... Who are you?" he asks and gone is the kindness in his tone and expression. It is replaced with alert and seriousness. "Friend of Hiroto," "Hiroto? The kid that I saved a month ago?" "Saved?" "Yeah," the man crosses his bulky arms "Was getting bullied by some street punks. Utterly outnumbered, so I decided to help him" "That's nice of you."

"So," Nawin tilts his head "Are you going to show me your hidden wares?" "And why exactly would you need them?" the man counter with matching cold gaze. Sayomi stops beside Nawin and shows impatience, getting tempted to use her mind-control ability on the human. "I assure you not for any felony reason," Nawin comment in truth, "Hiroto requested my help, and I'm here because of the task given to me from him" "A task that requires guns?" "Jaakuna Shi, ever heard of them?"

That name surprises the pawnshop owner. He looks at the pair with wonder. "You two are going after them? Are you nuts?!" "If you think a bunch of scum can signify a threat to us, then you are the one that is a fool," Sayomi snaps. Nawin quickly intercepts before things get out of hand. "Listen, just show me your wares. If you think both of us are crazy over this, then that's up to you. And if we die, then it's none of your problems, but the bottom line is I need guns."

The Owner stares at Nawin for a moment and can recognize the power behind those brown eyes. He sees there's no ounce of fear nor hesitance in them which speaks volumes. Also, there's a sense of morality in those eyes instead of evil intent. With a shrug, he gives the nod. "Fine." The man turns around and gestures the pair to follow "Both of you can come around."

Nawin pushes past the small door to enter the area behind the counter while Sayomi simply jumps over and lands in front of him. He gives a blank look at this while she returns with a smirk. The two then follows the Owner through the curtains.

What greets the pair in the other room is genuinely unexpecting. Rows of guns can be seen stack on the walls from top to bottom and right to left. Handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, snipers to smaller weapons like grenades, knives, and smoke bombs. It is in short, a paradise for weapon-maniacs.

Sayomi lets out a whistle to show she is impressed by the collection. "How in the world did you get your hands on these?" Nawin asks, inspecting the side of the wall that displays a variety of handguns. The Owner rests his hands on a table that contains numerous throwing knives. He wears a proud smirk, "I have friends in high places, that's all I'll say." "Black Market," Sayomi simply states, "That's just harsh, sweetcheeks. I'm also a respectable pawnshop owner" "... Call me sweetcheeks again, and this respected pawnshop will be closed permanently with its Owner's head pinned on the front door." The older man shivers at the wicked glare from the Pureblood and hastily nods in understanding.

"Sorry to call your girlfriend that," the man apologies to Nawin, who blinks and shift to him "She's not my girlfriend" "It's complicated," Sayomi swiftly insert with a teasing smirk, which gets a heavy sigh from the Makasha and an amusing expression from the Owner. Shaking his head, Nawin returns to look at the older man. "How in the world did Hiroto discover this place?" "By accident," "Really?" "Yeah," the bald man snort "I was gone for just a few minutes to pick up some bandages for him. When I returned here, next thing I know, a terrifying scream greeted me. I rushed in here and saw him stood in the middle of the room, shaking like a lost puppy. Luckily, I was able to calm him down and told him this is my... Secret business, as you can say." "Not afraid he would report you?" "Aye, the boy looked smart, and he seems genuinely grateful for my help, so I wasn't too worried."

"So!" the Owner claps his hands together and grins "What are you looking for exactly?" Sayomi stops beside Nawin and decides to remain silent, curious to see what he will choose for tonight's task. With sharp and calculative eyes, Nawin looks at the man. "Something good in tight areas," "A handgun?" "Yes. One silent and one with power." "Fast or slow?" "I always prefer speed."

The bald man rubs his scruffy chin for a moment before striding to the right for the pistol section. Grabbing two black-colored handguns, the man returns to the table and set it in front of the Makasha. He points to the right one, "That's the HK P30L. Great piece for speed and packs a punch. I'll add a silencer in this one" "Capacity?" "15 rounds" "That's fair."

Nawin takes the gun to his hand and feels its weight, holding it with both hands and aim before setting it to the table. "I'll take it. The next one?" "Are you a gun expert? Just asking out of pure curiosity" "Expert is too much, but my father has taught me how to shoot guns before. I know enough," "Alright."

The Owner points to the other gun on the table. "The 1911 TRP 10mm. This baby is heavy, but boy those it holds power. Its barrel is six inches large... I'll feel sorry for whoever will get in your way." Nawin grabs the gun and notices it definitely has some heft to it. "I'm guessing this has fewer rounds?" "Yeah, 8 to be exact." Nawin aims the gun forward and pulls the trigger, the older man didn't flinch and instead raised an eyebrow at the weapon in front of his face.

Setting the pistol down, Nawin nods. "I'll take both of them" "Perfect! How much ammo do you need for both?" "50 for each" "R-really? Thought you'd want a bit more?" "I don't plan to miss." "Do you want to get anything?" Nawin asks, shifting his sight to Sayomi. She blinks and glances over "Not really. I'm not much of a gun person." "Still, you should get something to defend yourself, Sayomi" "Awww," the Pureblood smirk and brings her right hand up to pinch Nawin's cheek "It warms my heart that you care this much for me, my dear."

Nawin opens his mouth to retort but quickly shuts it since there's a human in the room. Sayomi releases his cheek and gives a knowing smirk to signal she knows what he wanted to say. "Fine," the Dracul shift attention to the Owner of the shop "To ease my dear over here... Give me your best combat knife. Not too big as I want it to be hidden without much fuss," "Easy enough."

The man turns around to the wall of knives and removes one from the holder. He turns around and uncovers it to reveal a beautiful and extremely sharp seven-inch silver blade. The handle is leather with brown and black color pattern in big stripes. Sayomi gives an approving smirk. "That's lovely. I'll take that," "Wonderful!"

As Nawin watch Sayomi taking hold of the knife, inspecting it with a dark grin forming on her face. He begins to wonder if encouraging her to get a weapon was a wise idea. "So," the Owner rests his hands on the table and look at all the items in the front before looking up "This is gonna cost you" "However much is it I'll pay." Nawin's swift reply gets a big smirk from the bulky man "You're the type of customer I like, boy."

Time Skip

"Are you sure this is required?" Nawin asks with a conflictive expression plastered on his face. Stood beside him, Sayomi casually sips on a chocolate milkshake she got from a dessert stand near the pawnshop they departed no more than half an hour ago. With the other hand, place on her shapely and expose hip, Sayomi sends a calm glance to her companion. "My dear, we are heading to a nightclub. It only makes sense that we dressed accordingly for the event" "You know I am going in there to spill some blood, yes?" "Of course, but you want to remain anonymous until you find your target, no?" "... You have a point" Nawin finally admits.

With a smile, Sayomi releases her hip to take Nawin's hand, guiding him into the luxury clothing store. "Welcome!" two beautiful women greets the pair with a respectable bow in the front of the shop. Sayomi release Nawin's hand to point at him "Get my dear here a dashing suit. A dark color one would be perfect" "Certainly. I'm sure we can find something that will make your boyfriend even more handsome" one of them replies before giggling. "She's no-" before Nawin has the chance to finish, the two women grab both his wrists and drags him to the men section.

Sipping on her drink, Sayomi smirk at the Makasha's comical expression before she turns to the left to go looking for her dress. Entering the women section, which is set on the left side of the store, Sayomi examines the dress category. She is surprised by the amount of selection there are. No doubt some women can get lost for hours if they wanted to try all of them on. But, Sayomi already had an idea of the kind of dress she wants to wear for tonight.

Scanning through the collection, Sayomi finds one that catches her eyes and is about to reach it. "May I help you?" a young worker suddenly appears from the corner with a friendly smile. Sayomi did not take too lightly at being interrupted and peers at him with a sharp glare. The man's smile wanes slightly by the look but determines to keep it perfect for the beautiful woman in front of him.

"You want to help?" Sayomi asks with a raised eyebrow, "Certainly!" "Then here," passing the empty drink to the man "Go throw this away and get out of my face. That'll be lovely." The human is left speechless for a moment and was ready to retort by the rude comment until his brown eyes clash with those striking red orbs. He finds himself shivering and dumbly nod, taking the paper cup then walk off.

Releasing a tiresome sigh, Sayomi turns attention back to the clothes. "Honestly, what bothersome." She grabs the dress that caught her eyes and pulls it in front to thoroughly inspect it. Then, a big smirk form on the Pureblood's face.

"… Oh, my goodness! You look so handsome in it" "Dashing you are!" the women squeal like schoolgirls as Nawin step out of the changing room, donning their handpicked suit. The suit by appearance is nothing too special, which is what the Makasha wanted as he needs to blend in for tonight's event. It is colored blue mohair and made out of wool. Peak Lapel and fully lined, with two buttons on the blazer. For underneath Nawin choose to go with a black color button shirt which goes well with the unique colored of the suit.

"Please take a closer look!" one of the women urges, pointing at the mirror on the wall. Nawin listens and steps in front to examine himself. He quickly unbuttons the blazer for his preferred style. After getting a full look of himself, Nawin's lip twists into a small smile. "Your girlfriend will definitely love this look!" Nawin was about to open his mouth to correct that fact but decide not to bother anymore. He simply gives the nod.

"So," Nawin turns around to face the ladies "How much will this cost?" "Including those shoes?" the woman points at the glossy black loafer, "Yes." With some calculation done in her mind, she gives a bright smile "All of that will cost 750,000!" Nawin blinks at the price, but what he was more shocked at was how the woman could utter that price tag with such enthusiasm. "Is that too much?" the other adds in with a raised eyebrow, which just has Nawin mentally facepalm. 'Seven thousand dollars for clothes... I think that's a lot for any sane person, sweetheart' he comments in his head.

"Looking good there, my dear." Nawin perks and turns around to see Sayomi stopping near him, holding a large bag. He blinks, "You already bought yours?" "Of course. I had an idea of what I wanted to dress for tonight, so finding it was an easy task." Sayomi stops in front of the Makasha and pushes his black locks off his shoulders. Nawin blushes a bit at how close the two are. Sayomi takes a step back and gives a smirk. "Handsome. You should buy that, my dear." Wearing a smile, Nawin nods "With a compliment from you, I see no further reason to ponder."

Night: Elsewhere

"Useless bitch!" "Gah!" a young woman shriek out in pain and drops to a floor by a booming slap thrown on the side of her face. She cowers in terror while holding her bright right cheek, looking up at the man with teary blue eyes that gleam in fear. The only thing covering her slender and pale body is a plain white towel.

A tall and lanky blonde man dressed in a pure white suit glares down at the shivering woman with his piercing silver eyes. "That man paid good money for your service!" he barks before bringing his right feet up to kick the woman in the shoulder, sending her slamming to the ground. "And you were being a robot! Huh?! I wouldn't care if he got a small dick! Your job is to give them pleasure and a good time!" "I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the woman begs for forgiveness.

The man with slick-back hair grunts at the display before ushering one of the guards in the room. "Take her away and you," he points at the woman "A repeat of that will cost your life! I can easily get you replaced, darling" he spat with a cruel smirk. With that said, the guard force the woman to her feet then drags her out of the room.

"Stupid bitch, staining my name with failure! Me, Shunji Kuna!" Trying to calm his nerve, Shunji quickly grabs a cigarette and a lighter laid on his desk. Lighting it up, he sets the smoke on his lip and immediately inhales before exhaling a cloud of smoke.

After taking a few puffs, Shunji shifts his gaze to his watch. "It's almost Eight... Go get the car ready. I'm heading to Red Spiral in a minute." Shunji gesture to the other guard in the room, who give a bow in respect before exiting to do his assigned task. Shunji attention turns below when his phone starts to vibrate, reaching into his jean's pocket, he answers the call without looking. "Yeah?" "Shunji," "... Father?" the blonde tilt his head, leaning back on the desk "What do I owe the pleasure for this call?" "You've brought some trouble down on you, son" "Hmm?" Shunji raises an eyebrow "What trouble?" he asks, puffing out smoke "I have not received any bad news this week besides the rare occasion of my workers being useless, which was today."

"Aiko Tatami, heard of her?" "My latest girl?" Shunji reply with further confusion, "Yeah, what about her?" "Her family are desperate to get her back and have hired the Black Flash to do so. No doubt he'll soon come for you, Shunji." Setting the cigarette on a glass cup, the blonde looks out the window with a smirk "The Black Flash? What kind of name is that? Am I supposed to be afraid?" "Your ignorant appalls me at times, Shunji. He's a devil" "I have Zenki, Father. He can deal with the devil" "Can Zenki take down the Black Flash, who's known to be the fastest Devil in existence? Can Zenki stand a chance against the Black Flash, who single-handedly killed a Former Satan, Can Zenki defeat the Black Flash, who's an S-Rank Class in the bounty book for fleeing on sight. Tell me, son... Can Zenki protect you from such an adversary?!"

The smirk on Shunji's face is completely gone and replaced with shock. He remains speechless for a full minute before fear starts to set in. He quickly opens his mouth. "B-but he can't use his powers!" "You think that is a significant disadvantage for such a strong individual like the Black Flash? A person that can be behind you in a blink of an eye and get the job done before any onlookers could even see him. He's smart, calculative, and right now, you are his target. One way or another, he will get you, son. Even if he is restrained from using his powers. But, if he gets the opening, he will use it, and you'll be dead before you even realized."

Shunji finds himself gulping loudly, clenching the phone tightly. "What should I do then?!" To the shock of the blonde, his father suddenly starts to laugh. "Enjoy your last night in Tokyo, Shunji! It is your birthday today, after all, so have fun. But," the voice on the other line turn serious "After you exit the Red Spiral tonight, I'll be arranging you to fly out of Japan. That is your safest option. Have Zenki be a distraction if need be, also while you're at it, raise the security in Red Spiral just to be safe. Shunji, you just run and leave this country... That is your best chance of survival" "I-I see... Where is he? The Black Flash" "I don't know, he has kept himself hidden since he took down that new warehouse of ours. I believe he's still out there trying to find clues on your whereabouts. I must go now, Shunji. Remember to keep Zenki close to you at all times." With that said, Satoshi disconnects the line.

Shunji stares at the screen of his phone for a moment. A massive sneer breaks on his face. "You're not going to ruin my night, Black Flash!" he shouts and stomps to the door, swinging it open and exits the room.

Time Skip: Red Spiral

Red Spiral, one of the newest and popular nightclubs in Ginza. A two-story building with a sizeable red neon sign placed in front to display the famous name. Variety of colorful lights can be seen beaming from the inside through the large mirrors. Rather than holding a more subtle and almost low-key appearance of the common nightclub in the area. The Red Spiral's building is bold and vibrant that grabs the attention of any person that would walk past it. Begging the people to visit it and have a drink.

"Hmm..." Nawin inspects the luxury cars stopping in front of the heavily guarded front door. "Seems like this place is popular for rich people too." Dressed in his suit, Nawin is stood in a neighboring building opposite of the nightclub to survey the place. He is waiting for Sayomi to arrive since she insisted him to go ahead while she gets herself ready.

Taking a glance to east, Nawin notices many rays of lights blasting off in the distance. "So that's where the Fireworks Festival will happen tonight. Seems like its near where Koha lives..." Nawin gazes shifts back to the Red Spiral. "I'll make sure you'll get to experience that beautiful sight with your family, Aiko. Before midnight, I'll have you back to them."

Sensing a presence appearing behind him, Nawin stands up and turns around. "Uh?!" The moment Nawin lays his eyes on what is before him, he feels his breath is taken away. Standing just a few feet away from him is Sayomi. Dressed in dazzling mahogany color, one shoulder midi style dress made of satin. The dress looks absolutely perfect on the Pureblood's voluptuous figure. Hugging all of her curves evenly and displaying a fair share of her smooth white skin wonderfully. With her slender right shoulder expose, some of her ample breasts is more revealing to the eyes. The dress falls just below her knees to show the glossy black high-heels currently worn. Her hair is kept free, and in truth, that's the way it should be as the beautiful river of silky and glistering silver lock should be set loose instead of being messed with.

"So?" Sayomi gives a gorgeous smirk then twirls around once before stopping and sets her right hand on her curvy hip "How do I look, my dear?" "... Breathtaking," Nawin reply in a soft tone, unable to take his eyes off the Pureblood. In truth, to him, Sayomi is already one of the most attractive women he has ever laid his eyes on and now seeing her like this may have put her on the top. Though Nawin doesn't see himself ever admitting that to the Pureblood's face.

Smiling to show her appreciation by the compliment, Sayomi stops beside Nawin to give him an affectionate and playful tap on the cheek before shifting attention to the nightclub. "Will we have trouble entering?" Nawin turns around and shakes his head "Doubtful. We are dressed well enough to make them believe we have money. They won't turn away people with cash" "I see there's some membership system going on" "As I said, I think we are well dressed enough that they won't bother."

Nawin cocks his right wrist and looks down to his watch to see the hour hand just hit nine. Sayomi spares a glance to the Patek and wears a faint smile. "Nice watch, my dear." Nawin looks at her and blinks in surprise by the sudden comment. "Thanks," he replies with a warm smile as an image of the Culdos appears in his mind. 'Hope you are doing well, Miraya.'

Without another minute to waste, the pair jumps off the building and lands in a dark alleyway, staying clear from any eyes. Emerging from the shadows, both elegantly make their way to the entrance. When waiting in the short line, Nawin is surprised by Sayomi suddenly linking her arm with his. He glances over with a curious look. "Got to make it seem like we're on a date, my dear." Nawin sees the logic in that and firmly hold the Pureblood's soft hands.

With their turn next, Nawin and Sayomi stop in front of the two large security men dressed in an all-black suit. Both stare at them through their shades. Sayomi cracks a wink which gets a smirk out of the man holding the list. He gives the nod then gestures the couple to the door. "Welcome to Red Spiral."

The moment the guards opened the big doors. Nawin and Sayomi get greeted with booming music and a frenzied crowd on the wide dancefloor that's glowing and shifting to different lights. Standing there, Nawin looks up to see quite possibly the largest disco ball he has ever laid eyes on. Sparking right at the center of the vibrant dance floor, held up there by a solid piece of metal.

"They sure went all out with this," Sayomi assert, quite impressed with the scene before her. "I did not expect it to be this packed," Nawin lets out a sigh of annoyance "Gonna be difficult if a fight breaks out." Seeing how tense the Makasha is, Sayomi starts to drag him to the bar set at the right side of the room. Nawin blinks but did not resist, allowing himself to be guided.

Taking a seat at the stool, Sayomi shifts her head over to look at Nawin. "Should get yourself a drink to ease your nerve, my dear" "Drinking? Are you forgetting why I'm here, Sayomi?!" Nawin retort, finding the Pureblood's carefree attitude to be a bit miff now. "I'm trying to help you stay calm, my dear" Sayomi coolly replies, "You think getting worked up will do any good? Not being able to use your powers on this type of task is alien to you, so your nervousness is understandable" "I... I don't want to fail her, alright?" "And that's why I'm here... To help you." Those words come as a surprise for Nawin.

The Bartender stops in front and watches the couple stare at each other for a moment before opening his mouth. "What would both of you like?" "Vodka with coke," Nawin orders and shift his gaze to the dance floor. Sayomi lets out a sigh then eyes the bartender "Jack and coke."

With the Bartender tending to their orders, Sayomi properly takes a seat on the stool and rest her arms on the glass counter. "Sorry..." Sayomi perks by the Makasha's sudden word "I shouldn't have snapped like that. It's just entering here makes it all come back to me. How important this contract is, and with me being so restrictive... It has created some unwelcomed pressure."

"Look at me." Nawin blinks and shifts his gaze away from the dance floor and to the Pureblood. Nawin's eyes widen when Sayomi leans forward and plant a kiss on his forehead. Her right hand gently holds his chin. Pulling back, she wears a warm smile that causes his heart to skip a beat. An image of a younger Sayomi abruptly appears over the current one, wearing that exact smile. "Everything will be fine. I won't allow this night to end in a tragic for you. I promise."

"Sayomi..." Nawin finds himself whispering, his heart slowly settles by those words. For some reason, hearing it from the Dracul just felt right and comforting. He thought only Miraya could ever be able to calm him down in such a natural way. She always knows what to say. "Thank you... For being here with me." Sayomi's lip twists into a loving smile as she tilts her head to the side ever slightly "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, my dear."

With things settling down, the Bartender returns and sets the pair's ordered drinks in front of them. "Thanks," Nawin pays for the drinks and the Bartender bows before taking the money and leaves to serve other customers. Nawin grabs the cup and takes a sip of the drink, glancing on the second floor above to see numerous guards are patrolling the rounds. He can spot many of the rich people are held up there. 'Must be VIPs spots. No doubt the son will be there.'

Sayomi sets the glass down and sighs in pleasure. "You have any plans?" she asks, glancing over. Nawin takes another sip before placing the cup down. "Interrogating one of the guards could be a good start" "Hmm," Sayomi taps her index nail on the glass, thinking. "Perhaps there's a way for us to make him come to us" "Really?" Nawin looks over with curious eyes "How would we do that? I don't even know his name or what he looked like" "Because you killed the man before asking," Sayomi points out with a smirk "He shot an innocent person for pleasure," Nawin utters with narrow eyes "Bastard got me riled up" "I see."

"So, what's your idea?" Nawin asks once more. "You told me he deals with the Sex Business, correct?" "Yeah," "So, the best thing that'll draw his attention is a beautiful maiden. She creates enough spotlight, and he will come rushing for her like a horny teenager." Nawin cracks a smirk and nod "That's actually not far fetch. And if he has gotten word of me, then he'll be in a lot of stress... Stress that he'll like to unwind" "Exactly," Sayomi reply with a matching smirk.

Finishing his drink, Nawin sets the glass down and fully turns to the Pureblood. "So, when he eventually takes you to some private room, I'll make my way up there by following your mana then we'll interrogate him for Aiko's location" "That's the plan," Sayomi state then takes a big gulp to finish her drink. "Just," Nawin finds himself opening his mouth once more "Don't let him do anything weird, alright?" "Oh?" Sayomi leans close to the Makasha while wearing a teasing grin, which causes him to blush, "Would that make you jealous?" "O-Of course not," Nawin cocks his head to the side, giving a hard look "I just believe you wouldn't like such a vile man to act around you inappropriately."

Sayomi lets out a giggle and brings her right hands up to pinch the Makasha's cheek softly. "You are too cute at times, my dear." Releasing the cheek, Sayomi wears a dark smirk "Trust me, if that bastard does something obscene around me then I'll be taking my time making him bleed before you arrive." Nawin shivers a bit at that threat and the sudden change in attitude. He forgot how frightening the Pureblood can be.

Coughing once, Nawin decides to move the conversation on. "So, what's the best way to get his attention?" he mutters more to himself, trying to formulate an effective plan. Sayomi rolls her eyes and gets off the stool before snatching the Makasha's wrist, pulling him. "S-Sayomi?" Nawin utters in confusion as he is forcibly dragged toward the dance floor.

"Come now," Sayomi speaks as they enter the vibrant floor. She turns around to face Nawin, wearing a beautiful smirk. "We are in a nightclub, my dear. Best way to get any sort of attention is to dance." Nawin looks more apprehensive at the idea. Memories of the Masquerade Ball starts to remerge. That was the last time he danced with Sayomi when she revealed herself to be that mysterious silver-haired beauty behind the mask. He also remembers a shard of the past he regained during that interaction.

Sayomi immediately knows that look and slide her right hand down to grasp the Makasha's hand, holding it softly. "Don't go pondering on the past, Nawin" she utters in a soft tone "Think about now... After all, you want this night to end in a happy note, no?" A gentle smile form on Nawin's face when hearing those words. He firmly holds Sayomi's hand and shifts his left hand down to her slender waist. "Yes, I want tonight to end in the best way possible.

"Alright," Sayomi brings her left hand up to hold the Makasha's arm firmly. "Then let's dance and draw out that bastard" "Wait," Nawin raise an eyebrow "How will we know if the person is him?" "His name is Shunji Kuna, my dear." Nawin blinks in disbelief, "H-how do you know that?" Sayomi gives a coy smirk as her eyes flashes for a split second "Those guards at the entrance hold some valuable information. They were assigned there by Shunji himself. So, one look into their eyes and I got the necessary information. I know what he looks like so no worries."

Nawin remembers that Pureblood's like Sayomi possess strong telepathy abilities. So mindreading isn't something that should come as a shock. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" "Because I wanted to calm you down first," "Oh... I see. Thanks for being so considerate," "Ehehe, not a problem, my dear."

The pair notice the current song being played is coming to an end. "Ready?" Sayomi asks, "Yeah," Nawin gives a confident smirk "Let's make you shine" "Eehehe, lets."

Song: Krewella – Alibi (Far Out Remix)

Then the next song hits. Sayomi and Nawin get in position and holds each other close. The first verse hits. The pair begins to move around, their feet matching with the beats. Then the chorus hits. Sayomi slides back and release Nawin's arm but keeps a firm hold on his right hand. She then opens her mouth to sing, which takes the Makasha by surprise. "I'm still gonna ride with you, ride with you, ride with you." Sayomi steps forward and brings her other hand to Nawin's cheek "You know I'd die for you, die for you, die for you. Put it all on the line for you just to keep it bulletproof. Stay with me tonight, I'll be your alibi."

Hearing Sayomi singing brings a sudden burst of adrenaline inside Nawin. The crowd starts shifting back the moment Sayomi began singing. The DJ even decides to lower the music volume a fair amount to listen. Then the post-chorus hits. Nawin pulls his right arm up, Sayomi sees this and spins once before taking a step to the right. Nawin follows and stops in front. Then the pair holds both hands together. They begin moving forward and backward with the beat. Cocking their heads to the sides, shaking their hip, kicking their feet back and forth with the song's rhythm.

The crowd simply observe the couple taking center stage. Watching how fluent and synchronize Nawin and Sayomi are. Not a single movement cause a ripple. The couple has their eyes firmly set at each other and let their body move on its own. And with Sayomi's singing outshining even the song, it is a scene to behold.

With verse two nearing, Sayomi snakes her right arm around Nawin's neck to pull him in until their forehead touches. "Ready for the backlash, Sarah Conner combat. I'll be back, I'll be back." Nawin gently rests his hands on the Pureblood's slender hip and stop to spin them gracefully. "I'ma give you all I have, I'ma give you all I have forever, all I have. Keep you in my habitat, dedication to the max. Never change that, won't change that I'ma give you all I have, I'ma give you all I have forever, all I have."

With the last chorus approaching, Nawin and Sayomi separate from each other in an elegant slide. The Pureblood then brings her right arm toward Nawin. "I'm still gonna ride with you, ride with you, ride with you. You know I'd die for you, die for you, die for you. Put it all on the line for you just to keep it bulletproof." Nawin comes forward and grasps Sayomi by the hip to pull her up. She brings her hands down and holds his cheeks, smiling lovingly, "Stay with me tonight, I'll be your alibi."

A moment of silence descends as Nawin and Sayomi merely stare at each other, both panting lightly. Then, thunderous applauds come from the onlookers. Even the DJ momentarily pause the track to show his own appreciation, clapping loudly like the rest. The applauds snap the pair from their trance. Nawin gently sets Sayomi down and release her. Sayomi too releases Nawin's cheek and cracks a smirk when noticing the evident blush.

Nawin shifts his head to the side to hide his blush state only to notice a blonde man emerging from the crowd, and he can instantly tell it is Shunji. His rough looks and the tattoos that are sneaking off the sleeves with every motion give it away. Taking Sayomi's right hand, Nawin delivers a kiss on it before looking up at her "That was a lovely dance. Now, you have another guy to handle," he sends a wink, "Don't get too crazy." Sayomi simply wears a knowing smile and watch Nawin depart to the bar.

"Pardon me," a soothing voice comes from behind and have Sayomi rolls her eyes instantly, catching it is nothing but a fraudulent act. Putting on her own act, she turns around with an elegant smile. When examining the entire appearance of Shunji Kuna, Sayomi finds herself mentally groaning. 'Talk about a huge downgrade on view.'

Shunji gives a charming smile. "That was a magnificent scene right there, Miss" "Why thank you," Sayomi set her right hand to her chest, which of course has the Kuna sneaks a glance at the bountiful breast. If this were in a different circumstance, the Dracul would have taken the pleasure of gouging those eyes out of the human's skull. "What would your name be, handsome?" Sayomi asks with a sultry tone "Shunji. What's yours?" "Sayomi," "Lovely name," "Ehehe, thank you."

"So," Shunji cocks his head to the bar, "Was that your date?" "No, he's just a person that offered me a dance," "I see, so there won't be a problem if I request you to follow me upstairs for a drink?" "Oh, I thought only special guests are allowed to go up there" "Beautiful, I am the owner of this splendid club. I'll be able to squeeze you in," Shunji reply with a cocky smirk. "Well then," Sayomi flips her hair back and gives a sultry smile "Please lead the way. I can't say no to such a handsome man" "Please," Shunji offers his hand. The Pureblood's eyebrow twitches ever insignificantly by the gesture but takes the thug's hand.

Even with his back facing them, Nawin pays full attention as he tentatively watched Shunji guiding Sayomi to the hallway that leads for the stairs. He grabs the glass in front filled with vodka and coke, taking one full gulp to finish it before setting the glass back down. "Alright," Nawin mutters to himself, then makes his way to the hall.

When entering the hallway, Nawin notices how empty it is. On the right is the way to the toilets. He looks forward, spotting two guards stationed by the stairs. That's all the hallway offers. Examining the guards, like the rest of the members of Jaakuna Shi, they are dressed in sharp suits. Nawin hears the DJ announcing the next song is about to start, which will give him the much-needed noise distraction. He advances toward the guards as the song begins. 'Can't have Sayomi be stuck with that bastard for long.'

"Hold it," one of the guards raise his arm up to stop the incoming Makasha. Before the man can even register what happened, a suppressed pistol is thrust up his chin and not a second letter, a bullet come blasting off the top of his head. The other guard scram back and tries to reach for his gun before he too gets a bullet through the forehead. Both corpses instantly collapse to the floor simultaneously.

Holding the silencer gun firmly on his right hand, Nawin stares at the corpses for a second before walking up the stairs. "They are still moving?" he mutters, sensing Sayomi's mana "So he is taking her somewhere else." Reaching the top of the stairs, a random guard comes rushing out of the doorway with a knife in hand. Nawin acts quickly and catches the man's wrist, stopping the sword that's hanging just inches away from his chest. He reaches around to point the gun on the side of the thug's head, pulling the trigger to finish him off.

Dropping the corpse, Nawin advances and stop right at the doorway. He scours the room to see it is full of booths for the rich people to seat at and relax. Drinking and eating while having the best view in the building. The bar up here to is a step up from the one below. Bigger and hold more selection of drinks to choose from.

Though one thing quickly comes apparent to the Makasha, and it is the lack of guards in the room. There are no thugs dressed in suits to be seen. Cocking his head to the left, Nawin spot a single door that seems to lead to another area. He is able to sense Sayomi's mana in that direction. 'So he has taken her somewhere else.' Nawin's eyes narrow at the thought before he strides toward the door, keeping the weapon cover behind the blazer from any prying eyes.

Being as casual as possible, Nawin opens the door and enter the mysterious room. "There you are!" two men camping there immediately rush for the Makasha the moment he entered. Nawin quickly acts and leap to the left to dodge a knife attack. He kicks the other man in the stomach to send him crashing to the wall then disposed of the one with a knife by firing a bullet through his neck.

The Makasha strides toward the thug that's bent on the wall and throws a brutal punch to his head to knock him out. "So, they are in here," Nawin mutters, facing ahead to the long hall. Marching down the passage with caution, Nawin kept the gun forward with both hands to be ready for anything.

Reaching the end of the corridor, Nawin turns right and sees it leads to another long hallway, but now there are many doors seen on both sides. "Why are there so many rooms here?" In curiosity and hope that Aiko could be in one of these rooms, Nawin stop in front of the first door and grab the knob. Before he could twist it, the door swings open, and a massive man comes charging out of it. Nawin didn't have time to dodge the surprise attack and gets slam to the wall in full force. "Ahaha, so you are the puny intruder!" the muscular man shouts in a Russian accent. When Big guy steps back, Nawin drops to his knees and grunts in pain. "Get this shitty gun out of here!" the thug brings his huge feet down and stomp the weapon into pieces.

More men start emerging from the other rooms with guns and knives in hand. All of them have their eyes set at the Makasha. "Ahaha, what's this?" the big guy shouts, looking at his kneeling opponent "Are you already done?" Without another word, he clenches his right hand into a fist and swings it down.

At the last second, Nawin rolls to the side and quickly rise up to his feet. He shifts his right arm to the back to secretly summon the large 1911 TRP pistol in hand. "Ahhh!" the Russain man charge ahead, and Nawin pulls the gun forward to blast two bullets to the chest then finish it with a shot straight to the man's forehead.

The other thugs immediately open fire when seeing the big guy is taken down. Nawin quickly goes behind the opened the door to take cover for a moment before jumping over it and begin to get to work. Three men in front with the knives directly come rushing for an attack and Nawin bolts to the closest one to snatch him by the neck. He uses the thug to shield him from the incoming shots while aiming the gun to the other two, blasting a bullet through their skulls for a clean kill before tossing the now corpse riddled with holes to the ground.

Seeing the thugs are reloading, Nawin was ready to advance until something catch his attention. He feels Sayomi's mana just spike for a split second. Worried, Nawin looks at the gun and scowls "Fuck it!" he teleports the weapon away and faces forward, seeing the criminals are ready to fire. Before any of them even had the chance to pull the trigger, Nawin appears behind of them in a Black Flash with shadow dagger in hand. A second later, all of the thugs crumbles to the ground with hideous wide cuts opened on their necks.

Dispelling the dagger, Nawin bolts to the last room of the hallway, sensing that Sayomi is there. "Where you think you're going?!" Nawin snaps his head toward the left to see a large man appearing out of nowhere and tackles him into the wall with such force it shatters and sends both tumbling to the room. "What the hell?!" Shunji's voice can be heard through the smoke as Nawin coughs violently on the floor. "The Black Flash is here!" the attacker notifying, marching toward the Makasha and seizes him by the neck. "T-that's him?! Kill him then, Zenki!" "With pleasure!"

With his large left hand pinning the Makasha to the ground, Zenki pulls the right hand up, clenching it to a fist. He smirks sadistically and swings down to Nawin's face. "I think not." Before the fist can even reach halfway, another hand snatch Zenki's arm to stop him. "Eh?!" the large man snaps his sight over and is greeted with a vicious glare from Sayomi. Shunji gasp at the scene, watching with disbelief at a woman stopping Zenki's attack with just one hand, and what's more shocking is that it looked like she isn't even trying.

Sayomi stares piercingly at the giant, bald man with an ugly tattoo of a bull painted on half of his face. Zenki grits his teeth and tries to pull his arm back, but it was no use, he couldn't even budge it. 'How strong is this bitch?!' He releases Nawin's neck and fires a quick uppercut only to be blast away by Sayomi kneeing him in the stomach.

"Zenki!" Shunji shouts, watching his bodyguard lands next to him. "Grgh," Zenki growls, glaring at the Pureblood while gripping his stomach in pain. Nawin slowly raises his feet after taking a few deep breathes to get air back into his lungs. He glances over at Sayomi, who is giving him a blank look. "What?" "Why did you decide to use your powers?" Nawin blinks "I-I thought you were in danger... Your mana spiked." Sayomi gives an astounding look before bursting out in laughter "Ahahaha, is that what set you off, my dear? Just releasing a bit of my mana?" "Well, yeah!" "Ahahaha, I was merely putting that moron over there in an illusion as he was ready to get handsy. Until you broke it by crashing in here."

Nawin once again blinks before a blush of embarrassment dons his cheeks. It further did not help by Sayomi wearing that coy smirk. It is clear to both of them that he overreacted. He lost his composure at such a tiny thing. "Ehehe, thank you though" Sayomi gives a wink "Nice to see you care so much" "Grh, shut it," Nawin grumbles in response, wanting this conversation to end.

The pair turns their attention back to the thugs and notice Shunji is inching toward the door. Seeing this, Nawin rushes forward, but Zenki acts and discharges a basic magic orb that forces the Makasha to halt and catches it. He quickly crushes the orb with both arms and is ready to get Shunji only to see him hovering in midair. He turns around to see Sayomi staring at the terrified human. "Put him down!" Zenki appears in front and throws a punch to the Pureblood's face. The force carried in the attack was able to cause the wall behind to implode and shake the entire room. "W-what?!" Zenki's eyes bulge in utter shock, same with Shunji as both see Sayomi stood in the same potion, not having budge even an inch by the strike.

"The fuck are you?!" Zenki shouts while pulling his arm back, taking a few steps back in caution. Sayomi didn't answer and instead fire her own right fist forward that connects to Zenki's head. Shunji shrieks in terror when watching a single punch cause Zenki's entire head to implode in a gush of blood and organs. Chunks of the brain can be seen flying across the room, splattering on the carpet and walls while the headless corpse crumbles backward to the floor.

Nawin finds himself looking away from the gruesome sight while Sayomi smirks darkly. She swipes her right arm to get rid of the red fluid before turning her gaze to Shunji. The human gasp in fear when making eye contact. "You can question him, my dear" Sayomi comment, setting Shunji right in front of Nawin. Not needing to be asked twice and starting to lose patience, the Makasha roughly snatches the blonde by the collar of his shirt and lift him to the air. "Where is Aiko Tatami?" Nawin question with glowing red eyes that further terrify the human.

"S-she's been escorted to my father!" Shunji informs, "What? Why?!" Nawin shouts, wanting all the information "I-I don't know! He just o-ordered me to stop her training and give her to him! T-that was like an hour ago." Sayomi frown at disgust at Shunji's sudden change of attitude. The confident and cocky attitude was nothing but a mask to hide a weak and cowardly man. People she utterly despises.

Nawin spins around and slams Shunji to the wall. "Where is she then?!" he shouts in anger "Norata Tower! That's where his office is!" Getting the answer, Nawin release the collar. Shunji grunt in pain when crashing onto the floor. "Tell me," Sayomi stops on the side, staring down at the Kuna "What did you mean by stopping Aiko's training?" Nawin's eyes widen at that, and it shifts to Shunji, the glowing red replace the brown orbs once more. Shunji begins shaking violently in fear by the glares he is receiving, but he decides to answer in hope honesty will give him mercy. "W-we were t-training her to be o-one of the sex wo-" Shunji didn't get to finish his sentence as Nawin summons the large pistol and fires a bullet right at the center of his skull.

After a second, Nawin lowers the gun "Motherfucker," he spat before heading for the door to exit the room. Sayomi remains in place for a moment to stare at the corpse of Shunji Kuna. Without a word said, she turns around to follow the Makasha. "What's your next step?" Sayomi asks, staring at Nawin's back "Simple... Go to Norata Tower and get Aiko. I'm ending this tonight, Sayomi" "Alright, my dear."

Time Skip

After leaving Red Spiral, Nawin immediately took to the air and heads toward East. He has seen Norata Tower before as it's in the Ginza area, not far from where the Firework Festival will be taken place soon. It was one of the first things he noticed when surveying the area. Furthermore, it wasn't hard to miss that specific tower when its own name is displayed on a neon billboard set on the roof, glowing brightly in the night.

Sayomi has remained silent the entire time and simply flies behind the Makasha with arms crossed. The two wings on her back occasionally flap to keep her afloat. Sayomi can understand why Nawin is furious. He was late. Aiko has already been through some unimaginable circumstances. Something the Pureblood knew he wanted to deny until he either sees it or hears for himself. Sayomi knows the best thing for Nawin right now is to have him see Aiko. To help him save Aiko. And she will do that.

"... Zenki was a devil, wasn't he?" Nawin speaks up in a calm tone "Yeah," Sayomi nods "Shunji must've made a contract with him. I suggest you be on guard, my dear. His Father could very well have done the same," "I know." Drawing near the building, Nawin decides to head for the roof, to take a moment to scan through the building for any potential supernatural enemies.

When getting near, Nawin is suddenly blasted with a blinding light that causes his entire body to surge in burning pain. "Gahh!" "Nawin!" Sayomi shouts, seeing him losing concentrating and plummeting to the ground. Reaching over, their hands are just inches away before Sayomi receive a surprise kick to the side of her head, which sends her crashing into another building. Nawin blinks rapidly to get a clear vision and is quickly taken by surprise when seeing a blond man dressed in a butler suit hovers right above him. "Nice to finally meet you, Nawin Makasha," he says and set a hand on his chest "My name is Cei." With his introduction given, Cei fires his right feet forward to connect to Nawin's stomach, sending him blasting for the earth.

Nawin comes crashing onto a parked SUV, wrecking it by the sheer impact. Cei gently sets on the ground and recede his one set devil wings. "Urgh," Nawin grunts, opening his eyes and push himself off the destroyed vehicle, collapsing to the ground with his knees. His entire body is still feeling that burning sensation from the earlier attack.

"So as I thought," Cei speaks and delivering a sharp kick across Nawin's face, sending him crashing back onto the vehicle. "Light-based attack like those will do significant harm toward's you, Black Flash" he states and holds up a particular crystal. Nawin looks up to see the shard-shaped item gleaming brightly to the point it hurts to look at. 'That's... A light crystal? Did not know it can be used in such a way.' Nawin tries to get up only to have his head snap back into the broken door. Cei smirks victoriously and presses his feet forward on the Makasha's forehead, pinning him there.

Sayomi watches down from the destroyed floor. No significant injuries can be seen on her besides the dress she is wearing sustaining some cuts on the crash. She looks up and notices a figure watching the scene from the top floor. With narrowed eyes, Sayomi burst into a swarm of bats that flocks up to the sky, keeping in the shadows.

"Honestly," Cei speak, keeping the pressure on the Makasha's head "What is a person like you doing here? I thought the great Black Flash would be off saving Kings or territories instead of fussing around with some stupid human wench that hold no importance." Nawin's snaps his eyes to reveal those enrage red orbs "Any lives are worth saving! If I see a person in danger, then I will save them!" "Oh, how admirable!" Cei taunts and gives another harsh kick to Nawin's head before jumping back.

Landing on the side of another car, Cei smirk and swing his right feet first to kick the vehicle forward. He watches as flying object crash onto the prone Nawin, burying him between two cars. Lifting his right index finger, Cei fires a narrow yellow beam for the car's hood to cause an explosion that rocks the entire neighborhood.

"That went better than I expected," Cei state in a more composed tone. He takes a look at the Light Crystal "I knew you'd be useful one day. Instead of just being like the rest that either sells it or use it to enchant weapons." "Indeed, you are not like the rest," Cei's eyes widen when a familiar voice hits his ears, he looks up to notice Nawin stepping out of the flames. His entire top is exposed to reveal second-degree burns that are healing in accelerating speed. What shocked Cei the most is the eyes. The once red eyes are gone and replaced with brilliant gold. "The difference is that you are going to die here" Nawin state with an icy tone.

Cei grits his teeth and thrust the shard forward "Like hell I will!" he shouts and pours mana into the crystal to make it glow blindingly. The whole area is nothing but a world of light for a few seconds. Cei opens his eyes and grins, but that gets quickly dashed when he sees Nawin standing there, looking utterly unharmed by the attack. Those piercing gold eyes still glaring. With a lift of his right arm, Nawin snatches the Light Cristal away from Cei's clutch.

"W-what?!" Cei looks at his empty left hand then back to the Makasha "Y-you didn't even move!" Nawin clenches his hand to crush the crystal, rendering it to speck of dust. "Because you aren't at my level." Cei gasp when hearing those words from behind him. He only just realized that the Makasha is no longer in front of him. Cei tries to move away but only to feel a massive pain erupt from his chest. He looks down to see a hand protruding out of his chest. His eyes show nothing but disbelief. In a matter of under a second, his heart is gone and replaced with a sizable hole of nothingness. Nawin rips his arm back then simply walk pass the frozen devil. The gold orbs slowly fade and return to brown.

Cei looks at the retreating Makasha before he combusts into harmless specks of dust that gets carried away by the night wind. Nawin did not look back and focus on Sayomi's magic signature before disappearing in a black flash.

Appearing at the office, Nawin is surprised to see an old man who is no doubt Shunji's Father laid on the desk. His face bloodied and beaten to a gruesome degree. He shifts to the right and sees Sayomi leaning beside a door, wearing an unreadable expression.

"What happened?" Nawin asks when stopping in front of the Pureblood. Sayomi opens her eyes and looks right at him. "Took the pleasure of beating the bastard," she replies, then cocks her head to the door at the side, "He said she's in there..." "Why didn't you go in first?" "Because it should be you." Nawin clenches his hands and simply nod.

Grasping the knob, Nawin twists it and opens the door. He steps forth to find himself in a plain bedroom. Simple white walls and little to no decoration. The only thing in here is a king-sized bed that's occupied by a girl. Nawin's eyes widen when finally setting sights on Aiko. A beautiful teenage girl around his age. White soft complexion. Smooth, long black hair that matches the color of her eyes. Donning a plain white dress. But, Nawin notices something that causes his heart to skip a beat. Those eyes, they looked empty. There's no shine in them. Even when she's sitting there with knees up to the chest and her arms wrapped around it. Looking as alive as possible, but those eyes are a contrast to it.

"Aiko?" Nawin calls out, advancing toward the bed. Aiko's eyes shift away from the white sheets and to the incoming figure. "Aaaahhhhaahh!" Nawin stops in stun when seeing Aiko crawling back and screaming in fear, her eyes come to life and show nothing but fright by his presence. "Aiko," Nawin speaks once more with a calm tone, lifting his arms up to motion her that he means no harm "I won't hurt you. I'm here to help you. Your mother and boyf-" Nawin stops to dodge a pillow being thrown at him.

"Aahhh! S-stay a-away! Don't t-t-touch me!" Aiko cries out, grabbing her head as tears start pouring down her eyes. Nawin's arms fall to the side as he sees it. The horrific trauma that's displaying in Aiko's eyes, noticing the gruesome purple bruises covering her thighs. He was late, and they broke her. Finding himself sitting on the floor, Nawin shakes his head and stare hollowly at Aiko for a moment before burying his face in his palms. He just couldn't handle staring at those terrified eyes looking at him. Instead of letting his emotion out, Nawin simply releases a dry chuckle. He hoped from the beginning that this sight before him would not come to be. He thought he had time. 'What a clown I was... Took this lightly and fooling myself that everything will be fine.'

Sayomi leans by the doorway and stares at Aiko, watching the poor freighted girl cowering behind the pillows. Witnessing this whole scenario, Sayomi can't help but remember that horrid night Nawin got kidnapped. 'Could this have been the result if I had failed to save him? Him being broken, losing a part of himself.' Sayomi's gaze shifts to Nawin. Watching him simply lost in thought on the floor, unable to come up with a solution to this.

Even though he is hiding it, Sayomi knows Nawin is trying his hardest not to break and show weakness in front of Aiko. Because him losing it will do no good for the fragile girl. Even in this situation, he is still looking out for Aiko in the tiniest ways. And that trait is one of the many things Sayomi adores about Nawin. So when seeing him so lost, and in this emotional wreck state, it hurts her more than words can express.

When feeling a hand on his shoulder, Nawin releases his face and look over to see Sayomi kneeling beside him. "It'll be ok." He is left stunned by those words as the Pureblood gives him a warm smile before leaning in to plant a kiss to his forehead. With that, Sayomi raises up to her feet and walk toward the bed. Nawin simply remains still, praying that Aiko can truly be helped.

Aiko once gain starts getting agitated when seeing Sayomi drawing near. "S-stay away!" she shouts and looks ready to bolt away off the bed until the Pureblood's eyes gleam. Before she has the chance to escape, Aiko collapsed face-first onto the bed as her consciousness gets temporarily cut. Sayomi stops by the bed and picks the human up to lay her properly down, so she is facing upwards.

Sayomi sets her hand on Aiko's forehead. "What exactly are you going to do?" Nawin asks, slowly standing up, "I'm going to erase the horrid event from her memory. Along with thoroughly healing her body of the abused it took," Sayomi says and grit her teeth at the last part. She has used magic to examine every inch of Aiko's body for injuries. And the full result she got is able to fuel rage in her heart.

Nawin wanted to say something as he hates the idea of messing with someone's memories. But, he couldn't find the words because he knew that's the only way to help Aiko. To have her forget about the tragedy she's been through. To let that be nothing but forgotten memory so she can return to her family. Starting anew with a normal life.

"Just don't go too far," Nawin urges, "I know, my dear." Sayomi gives a reassuring smile before shifting to Aiko. Closing her eyes, the Pureblood begins to concentrate, her hand emitting in pink aura. A sudden noise coming from the other room cause Nawin to turn around. With narrow eyes, he walks toward the door and exits the room to find Satoshi by the elevator.

"You..." Nawin utters in seething tone, glaring at the shivering man with his glowing red eyes. The elevator doors open, and Satoshi tries to get in, but Nawin appears in front and throws a stiff right hook to his already beaten face. The old man screams in pain and collapses back to the ground with a thud. "Motherfucker!" Nawin spat and gives a kick to Satoshi's face that sends him back to the floor. Not done, the Makasha seize the old man by the neck then throws him ahead. Satoshi yells in pain as he bounces off the window and crashes down to his desk.

Nawin marches toward the table and notices the nameplate on it. "Satoshi," he mutters, stopping in front, "You thought you and your son could have gotten away with this, huh?!" Nawin grabs the edge of the table and flips it to the other side, which causes Satoshi to tumble to the ground and watch his desk smash into a wall, splitting in half on impact. "M-my son?" Satoshi mutters through his busted lip, leaning over to face the Makasha. Nawin's fierce and enrage expression did not waver. "I put a bullet through his skull. Don't worry... You're going to join him."

"Nawin." Hearing his name being called, the Makasha turns around to see Sayomi standing by the door, carrying the still unconscious Aiko in bridal style. His eyes red eyes shift back to brown to show great relief in them when seeing all the bruises are gone from Aiko's body. "S-she's ok?" Sayomi nods and gives a smile "She's going to be fine. I've wiped the necessary memories."

For the first time since they left Red Spiral, Nawin can muster a genuine smile. But it is quickly gone and replace with stoic when he shifts his sight back to Satoshi. "Sayomi, pass me your knife." The Pureblood raise an eyebrow at the request but complies, using her telekinetic ability to take the combat knife that's hidden behind her dress. The weapon floats in the air and heads for the Makasha, who catches it without looking. He unsheathes it in a swift motion.

Satoshi slowly returns to his feet and stumbles back until he hits the window. "Y-you are n-no hero!" he yells, as those familiar red orbs return to glare at his very core. Nawin stops in front and cocks his head to the side. "No... I'm no hero. Not even close." With that said, Nawin drives the knife forward and drives it through Satoshi's skull before taking a step back and kicks him in the chest with immense force that the window behind shatters. The lifeless corpse falls backward and out of the building. Dropping thirty floors down.

Putting the knife back in its sheath, Nawin turns around and heads back to the pair. "Shall we head there?" Sayomi asks. Nawin stops in front and stares at Aiko for a moment before opening his mouth "Yeah. Let's finally take her back to her family."

Time Skip: Nakago

Hiroto releases a deep sigh as he set the mug of hot tea down on the table. Black bags can be seen visible under his eyes to show the lack of sleep. Seated across the table is Koha, who did not look much better. The air around the table and the entire room is gloom. And it feels heavier as each hour passed by.

"W-why..." Hiroto chokes out, "Why is it taking him so long?" "I don't know, Hiroto" Koha answers softly, lifting her gaze up from the table and to the boy, "Have you tried calling him again?" "Yes," Hiroto takes a glance at his phone set beside the mug "I still couldn't get through. He switched his phone off" "He must still be working then" "I guess, b-but... This is taking too long, Koha-san. He's a devil. I assumed it shouldn't take more than a day. It's almost midnight now... Soon it'll be day two," "I know, dear."

The front door suddenly opening startles Hiroto and Koha. Both snaps to the direction and is stun to see Sayomi walking into the room with Aiko in arms. "W-who are you!" Hiroto shouts but flinches when those sharp red slit orbs shift toward him. "Don't need to fret. She's a friend," "Nawin!" Hiroto and Koha smile with relief when seeing the Makasha stop beside the Pureblood.

Sayomi ignores the two human and walks pass them to set Aiko down on the couch gently. Hiroto and Koha did not waste a second to be by Aiko's side. Sayomi steps back and stands beside Nawin, the two silently watch as the Mother cradle Aiko in her arms, tearing up. For the first time in days, a full and genuine smile can be seen on Koha's face. Hiroto rest on his knees and grabs hold of Aiko's hand, holding it close to his face while he weeps in relief.

Sayomi glance to the side and sees Nawin staring at the scene with warmth and happiness in those brown eyes. A small but noticeable smile can be seen on his face. Seeing how happy and relax Nawin is now brings Sayomi to smile as well. She is glad that he can finally put this to rest.

"Thank you!" Koha looks at Nawin, still holding Aiko close. She musters up the biggest smile possible to show her appreciation. "Thank you so much for saving my daughter, Nawin-san!" "Yes," Hiroto suddenly drops his head to the floor, bowing "We can never repay you for this! Thank you so much, Nawin-san! I wouldn't know what to do if we lost Aiko."

"I'm just glad to bring Aiko back to her family," Nawin replies, then shift gaze to the slumbering girl. "Sayomi, will she be awake soon?" "No. Aiko is fatigued both mentally and physically. She will need a full day rest before we can hope for those eyes to open" "I see." Nawin sighs in disappointment "Guess I won't be able to see her up before leaving" "What?" Hiroto raise his head up "Do you have to leave so soon?" "I must," Nawin gives a weak smile "I need to get back to my family. They'll get concern if I'm gone for too long" "H-how old are you, Nawin-san?" Koha asks, "How old is Aiko?" "19," "Then I am a year younger than her."

Koha and Hiroto are stunned by this new information. To think a person younger than even Aiko was facing dangerous gang members. Even if he is a devil, that is still shocking to discover. "A-are you ok?" Hiroto asks, noticing the missing clothes on the Makasha "I'm fine." Nawin offers a reassuring smile "Just got surprised. In truth, I rather leave the details out for you two... Anyway," he shifts to Aiko "The important thing is that I returned Aiko safely back here. That was what you hired me to do."

Hiroto opens his mouth before closing it. He wears a smile and nods. "Yes, you are right. Knowing the details will give us nothing but sadness and anger. The important thing is," Hiroto turns around and holds his girlfriend's hand, "Is that Aiko is back safe and sound. Right, Koha-san?" "Yes," the Mother wears a tender smile, gently stroking Aiko's front bangs "I have my sweet daughter back. That's all that matters."

As Nawin turns around and heads to the dining table, Sayomi decides to speak up. "You two will need to treat Aiko gently when she's awake," "Why?" Hiroto blinks "Her mind will be foggy. I took the liberty of healing her both physically and mentally, so her memory will be a bit murky. The past couple of days will be a blur to her" "Ah, I-i see... We will make sure to be easy on her."

"Before I leave." Everyone turns around to see Nawin standing by the table "Here is some parting gift for you three." "Gift?" Hiroto repeats as he gets up, walking toward the Makasha. Nawin nods and not a second later, a five duffel bags appears on the table. "What's this?" "Money." Hiroto and Koha are shocked at this while Sayomi raises an eyebrow 'So that's why he wanted to stop midway here.' "A-All of them have money?!" Hiroto asks in stutters, giving a look of disbelief to Nawin, who simply nods.

"You guys have been through a lot," Nawin state and gives a soft smile "There's a total of Ten Million Yen there... Use it to pay for Aiko's father funeral and get her into college. Get yourselves out of this dump too while at it. Start anew." "B-But," Koha gently sets Aiko down and walk toward Nawin, stopping in front of him "That's t-too much, Nawin-san. Y-you are just a boy" "A boy that holds more money than he knows what to do with it," Nawin state with a slight jest smile "You need it more than me. And I don't mean to sound snotty but doing this won't hurt my wealth."

Hiroto opens the duffel, and he takes a step back in shock as stacks upon stacks of Ten-Thousand-yen notes begins pouring out of the bag and onto the table. Koha too is stunned, having her hands over her mouth, looking at the crazy amount of money just in one bag.

"Thank you so much, Nawin-san!" Koha cries out and embraces the Makasha, burying her face to his chest as new tears of joy start trickling down her eyes. Nawin smiles and set his hands on the Mother's shoulders. "Take good care of Aiko and yourself, Koha. Hiroto," Nawin looks at the boy "Y-yes?!" "You be their shield, alright? I don't want that fire in your eyes that I saw yesterday to be gone, understood?" "Of course!" Hiroto gives a bow before leaning back up to show that determined look in his eyes, "I won't let any harm come to Aiko-chan and Koha-san!" Nawin smiles and nods, "Good. I won't have to worry."

Time Skip

"You won't regret your decision?" Sayomi softly asks, standing beside Nawin. After saying goodbye to Koha and Hiroto, Nawin left to the closest skyscraper to get the best view for the fireworks that will be out at any moment.

After feeling the passing wind pass by, Nawin opens his eyes. "Sometimes, it is best to keep things a secret. Let it be forgotten. I do not see any upside to telling Koha and Hiroto about what Aiko has suffered through. No one should or wants to know that their loved ones have experienced such a thing" "... You are right."

Sayomi takes in the fresh air of the night then exhales. "What are you going to do now?" "Head back home... I'm done with Tokyo for a while," "Understandable." Nawin looks over and gives a soft smile "Sorry for dragging you into such a mess. I'm sure you would have rather be somewhere peaceful than with me."

A sudden sound of explosions erupting from the east cause Nawin to look ahead to see the fireworks have begun. The dark skies know litters with beautiful light shows that brighten the city for miles. The sight was in short mesmerizing as more fireworks shoot up and explode.

"You think I'd rather be somewhere else, my dear?" Sayomi's question has Nawin turn to her once more only to gasp when seeing she falls from the building. "Sayomi!" Without hesitation, Nawin jumps off to follow. When the two gains distance, Sayomi suddenly turns around and cups Nawin by his cheeks. Like that, the pair feels their world slow down for momentarily. Both staring each other in the eyes as the fireworks shine on the background.

Sayomi gives a loving smile. "Being with you alone for the past two days has been nothing but a delight for me, my dear. You truly have grown into such a wonderful man." Before Nawin can get a word out, he is surprised by Sayomi leaning in to give him a kiss. That action causes his entire body to freeze as his heart skips a beat. But, Nawin soon find himself closing his eyes and accepts it, deepening the kiss.

Finally leaning back, Sayomi offers one last smile. "Goodbye, my dear" she whispers then burst into a swarm of bats that flies pass the Makasha and vanishing into the night sky. Nawin turns around to look up for a moment, wearing a soft smile before disappearing in a black flash.
