Cyndi's POV.

I didn't always reside within Akemi. If you think that way, you're surely mistaken. I am quite the old woman, compared to Akemi, our souls mending upon the day that she was born – which I believe was a day in February. Ever since then, I've been resting within her, just waiting for the day that she matures enough, and her energy is strong enough for me to fully emerge and let her know that I exist.

That day, you see, hasn't quite come yet.

It's been close, but it hasn't come…

Before I merged with Akemi, I lived my own life. Just a normal demon girl living in one of the biggest cities of the underworld, Metropolis. Every demon there is given a name and a number, depending on their race. I'm of the common type, my number – 57821.

Of course, living in Metropolis wasn't the best experience. Whilst being young and naïve, I fell in love with the King of the area, Draper Vaughn. He fell too, and we were to be wed, but after almost a year and a half of that relationship, I finally realized how evil and tormenting he was…

…and fell in love with a half demon named Anthony Greendown. Full demons and half demons were never to cross. We were kept separated, half demons living in the lower class areas of Metropolis, for they were only half of what us full demons were. But that didn't stop me. Our affair was passionate, and a loving one, that was – until Draper found out, beat me, and kept me locked up in his Mansion.

You're mine, no one else's. He'd say. I'd regret ever falling in love with such a man. He was evil – most demons were. But Anthony had this…

Kindness, kindness that no one around Metropolis had. I would have to be with him.

So I fled, whilst Draper was out, I escaped, stole his money, and ran, far, far away, into the poorer part of Metropolis. Reunited with Anthony, we decided to run away together, back to the human world, where Anthony's strong, human mother resided. Usually, human women couldn't keep demon children…

But that woman had a strong will.

Soon, a bounty was made. I was wanted, dead or alive. I had mixed Anthony into my troubles, and Draper wanted him dead as well. That night, before we fled to the human world, I gave him a lock of my hair, he kept it close. The barrier to the human world was too strong to cut through, and to even consider getting past, I'd have to pass on. My soul would have to pass on into the human world, and find a host.

That night was the night that I died.

And took residence in the soul of a little human girl, named Akemi Saito…

King Yamma, the king of the spirit would, took her under his wing upon finding out that she was tainted with the blood of a demon, and she - on the day of her sixteenth birthday – became a Demon hunter, hunting any demon that got past the Demon world/human world barrier.

She met Paul when she was seventeen, but…

That story isn't meant for me to tell, now is it?

I worry for my dear Akemi. I've grown to love her, I've seen her at her most vulnerable states, and I…

…I've gotten her into a mess that she's going to have to fight her way out of.

My goal is to return to the demon world, with Akemi as my host, and to find Anthony Greendown. I know Akemi's too smitten to fall in love with yet another man but…

I just need to be returned…to see him, to find him again.

But that will have to wait until this bounty is over, until Draper is killed, and I am free.

"I'm sorry we've got to part like this, George…"

"Are ye sure ye wanna go back, 'kemi? I mean, I can-"

Akemi and George were parting ways, him leading her towards the underground where she'd be taking a train back to Liverpool. She gave off a slow nod and then opened her arms up for a hug, shushing him when he finally got the point,

"Paulie and I will be okay, George. It was just a little squabble. Nothing we can't fix. I promise I'll be alright…" She gave a small thumbs up when he let her go and he smiled weakly, but even someone stupid could tell that the smile wasn't sincere.

"I worry about ya so much, Akemi. You've got no.."

"You're right, I probably don't have an idea about how much you worry, George…" She snickered, "Don't worry, Harrison. I'm a big girl now, not the seventeen year old you met in Japan. I'll be okay."

"Promise?"

As the train pulled up, she kissed George's cheek and gave off a small nod and a wave, heading towards the vessel, "I swear on it!"

AN: Bro, this chapter was hard too. I've been blocked as of late and I have absolutely no idea why.

damnnn. Oh well. I apologize for the shortness. D:
