During the afternoon sky, Anzai and Aina walked side by side, holding hands and enjoying the warm weather.
His grip on her hand, firm and gentle. He glances around making sure that everything is safe before turning his attention back to her. "How are you feeling today ?" He asked, his red eyes scanning Aina's face. "You seem a little quiet." Aina shifted her eyes down "I just worry after the recent attack of those other devils came after us." Anzai halted as he heard her words. His hand still holding hers. "I know." he said softly. "I'm worried too. But we can't let fear control us. We have to keep moving forward and be vigilant." Aina nods, understood by his determination.
Suddenly, Anzai senses went on high alert. He felt a presence that didn't belong, his eyes darting back and forth as he tried to locate the source of the disturbance. "Stay close." He whispered to her, his grip on her hand tightening. Aina got closer to him, placing her other hand on his arm.
"So...You must be Anzai.." A female voice called to them coldly.
Anzai's eyes narrow as he sees the strange woman in front of him. His expression darkens, putting his head low, His glare piercing at her. He smell the scent of devil on her.
Taking a step forward, placing himself between Aina and the devil woman. "Who are you ?" He questioned in a low menacing voice.
"I've been wanting to meet you..." narrowing further at the woman's words. "Me ?" His voice cold and calculated.
The woman's scarlet red eyes shifted to Aina hidden behind Anzai. His protective instincts kicking in, shielding her from the woman's gaze. "What do you want with her ?" He growls, But the strange woman didn't respond until she quickly charged at Aina, Anzai managed to grabbed her arm, stopping the devil woman's sudden attack.
His red eyes locked on the devil woman with fierce determination. She retreated back where she once stood.
Anzai snarls at her, ensuring that Aina was out of harm's way. "You're not going anywhere near her." His voice filled with anger and protectiveness. The devil woman dusts off her clothes. "Relax, I'm not going to kill your human mate. I only came for you." She points at him.
Anzai looked at her in disbelief. "And why should I believe you ?" he said, laced with suspicion. "You just tried to attack her." Anzai kept his ground, keeping his protective stance on Aina. "You awfully care so much about the girl. So prove it to me...if you are capable to fight off a devil more powerful than me." The woman shows off her devil stances as Anzai smirks cockly. "You're on." His hand reaching into his coat pocket, ready to draw his weapon. "I've faced off against devils before and come out on top. You may be more powerful but I won't let you harm Aina."
Aina takes a step back as he drew his gun, his finger on the trigger and took an aimed at the devil woman, "You ready to dance, sweetheart ?" He taunts with a grin on his face.
"Bite me." The devil woman shows her claws are much sharper than his, her fangs across her mouth with veins on her eyes turning a darker red.
Anzai's smirk widened, seeing the devil woman's transformation was more powerful than he had initially thought, But he wasn't intimidated.
The devil woman runs at fast speed avoiding the bullets from Anzai's gun. She managed to slice the gun in half with her claws, catching him off guard. "Damn it." Anzai muttered under his breath, taking a step back to put some distance between them.
"It's useless...Fight like a devil." She said as her eyes darkened. Anzai's gaze narrowed at her. Knowing it might be his chance, "Alright." He said, dropping his broken gun. "If you want a fight with a devil, I'll give you one !" He closed his eyes for a moment, concentrating on the devil side of himself.
Feeling his body shifting, his muscles growing stronger and his senses heightened. When he opened his eyes again, they were glowing a deep red.
Aina shook with worry for Anzai as the devil woman swifted her sharp claws "Now that's more like it." She smirks in satisfaction, charging at Anzai as he braced himself. He wasn't going to back down, waiting until she was close enough to strike.
He glanced at Aina till he focus on the fight "Don't worry about me." His voice gruffed. "I'll be alright." Anzai's claws extended and his fangs bared.
