Demon blood has been spilled in town. One man came out of a burning building with serious burns from holy water and stab wounds by a holy blade. He was leaving a trail of blood wherever he walks to. He was weak, but his demonic power of endurance was enough for him to get away from this scene. However, he cannot stop the bleeding, which would eventually cause him to drop down into an alley and sit back against the wall.

He sits back against the wall, dropped the gun on the floor next to him and pressing his hands against his injuries. He asks himself "Why didn't I just stay in bed… Is this really how it's going to end? After everything I fought for… I've always wanted to die… But not like this… Not until I kill him…."

Introducing the young man, named Akira. He is eighteen years old with spiky black hair and orange eyes. He is going through a gothic style by wearing mostly black clothing.

Akira had a normal life for many years, but his life was taken from him the moment he had to witness his father, leaving the household and saying goodbye to both him and his mother. That was the last time he saw him. Next, he went through serious trauma and depression when his mother was killed in front of him by an intruder. Her death awoken something inside of him, which would send him through a state of rage and vengeance.

While alone and broken, someone would actually step forward and volunteer to be his legal guardian, as well as helping him through his depression. This stunning woman took Akira away from loneliness and did her best to treat him like any other mother would towards her children. Despite helping him through that terrifying event of his life, Akira would always call her by her first name and never calls her 'mother.'

Today, he left his apartment and went to go for a ride on his motorcycle. He saw a perfect chance to speed when noticing less vehicles on the road with nobody around. The reason for that is because of an earthquake that was powerful enough to completely left Tokyo in ruins, such as separating Tokyo Tower from its surroundings. The flood was next and surrounds the tower to make it into an island, while everything else nearby is either abandoned or less populated.

Akira arrives at his destination, which is just an abandon place with nobody around to cause any problems, except for the major problem that lies inside this broken down hospital.

Akira takes off his helmet and steps off his bike. He left his helmet on the seat and takes a few steps closer to the building, looking up at the broken windows to find anything suspicious inside. He stops the moment he saw something moving inside the building. He closes his eyes for a moment and opens them up again to show his eyes change to a darker red. This gives him a better chance of seeing things that humans cannot see. Everything was dark, except for the red energy he sees moving inside the second-floor building, moving around like a heat signature.

Akira enters the building and proceeds with caution up the stairway into the second level of this hospital. The interior was dark with not much furniture or any equipment, because most of the stuff inside have been stripped down and taken away by those who have lost everything from the earthquake.

As Akira gets closer towards the next room, he gets himself a surprise when the enemy comes blasting through the doorway and appears in front of him in the corridor. Out of the room came a humanoid demon that was tall and muscular than Akira. His body was darker red with a white neck. He had the head of a hammerhead shark and has two rows of sharp teeth with no eyes on his head. Akira notice fresh blood was dripping down its mouth and hands, suspecting he had his fun devouring a human earlier.

The demon cries out the moment it stare towards Akira and attacks by aiming the palm of his hand towards him, creates blue demonic flames and discharge it straight towards Akira. With the room small and nowhere to dodge, Akira ends up standing his ground and holds his arms together to form a cross in front of him to take the full blast of those flames. The attack was enough to reach the end of the hospital and blows a hole through it, as well as igniting some parts of the corridor on fire. However, as soon as the flames slowly die out, Akira was still standing and showing off his demonic armour. He covers himself with black armour with red outlines and markings all across it. All of the flames still touching him would quickly die out and causing him to develop dark red flames to appear on his fists.

Akira charges in with his right fist hitting against the chest, then an uppercut punch from his left hand against the face and another punch from his right fist hitting against the face to push the demon back. Each of those punches was enough to easily burn through the skin and deliver serious pain to the demon. The demon tries to fight back by swinging his arm to hit Akira across the face of his helmet, but that did little to hurt him and ends up suffering even more with a few more punches from Akira's flaming fists to bring it down. Akira stands over the demon as soon as it was down, here he starts punching the hell out of it multiple times to shatter its head and building enough rage from every hit he delivers. After ten punches, Akira finally stops and calms himself down, then backs away from the corpse and watches as it disintegrates into flames when it was completely dead. While trying to calm himself down, his armour begins to burn off of his body and disintegrates to leave nothing behind. He breathes heavily, but no sign of any injuries done to him from this fight.

He leaves this place when the job is done. He returns outside to his bike and found a visitor in front of his bike. He stops the moment he saw her, then sighs silently and starts approaching the woman. She was a young woman with long black hair and violet eyes and probably the same age as Akira. She was wearing quite the interesting design and leave herself completely different from almost everyone in the city. She was wearing a gothic Lolita culture-styled black dress with red frills, black stockings supported with garters and red boots and black headpiece. Her name is Yuuma Amano.

"Are you lost?" Said Akira and stands in front of her.

Yuuma holds onto his helmet in front of her and takes a few steps closer to Akira. She replies "I'm looking for someone to give me a ride. You interested?"

"Depends. Will you be sucking the life out of me when this is over?"

"Maybe." Yuuma smiles while offering his helmet back to him. But as he extends his hand out to take the helmet, Yuuma starts being playful by taking a step back and moving the helmet behind her. Akira just sighs silently with annoyance because he really did not have time to play games with her. Just when he steps closer to get the helmet from her back, Yuuma suddenly steps closer and softly kisses his lips.

Akira freezes for a few seconds, while Yuuma continues to kiss him for a while. Akira lifts his hands and places them both against her shoulder and remain staying like this until Yuuma breaks the kiss and smiles back at him.

Akira asks "What was that for?"

"For doing my job." Yuuma responds and gives him back his helmet.

Akira moves around her to sit on his bike and puts the helmet on. After starting up the bike, Yuuma sits behind him and wraps her arms around his waist and presses her body against his back. He looks back and waits for a moment for her to get comfortable, then looks forward and starts riding out of here with Yuuma behind him.

They left the scene before the authorities show up to find out the place was burning and something happen here. Akira went in a different direction to avoid contact with the police and went further into the more populated area. This was pretty much a date between the two, as they went to one place after another to spend time together and making Yuuma happy along the way. Akira smiles a little when watching Yuuma enjoying spending time with him.

Akira thought to himself "This is nice… But later, this is probably going to feel much worse."

As they continue like this, Yuuma takes Akira's hand and brings him down an alleyway, where she shows off her black-feathered wings in front of him and gets closer to Akira to wrap her arms around him. "Hold on." She said to him, then ascends into the sky with him and flies high enough to reach the top of the tall building to get a look at the view of the city. Yuuma retracts her wings back inside her again and walks towards the edge to get a look at parts of the city that is still shimmering with lights, while parts of the area on the right are completely dark, all thanks to the earthquake.

"This here is wonderful." Yuuma said when pressing her hands against the edge and looking out at the view. She felt the wind pushing her from behind and causing her hair to move in front of her face. She looks back at Akira and pulls her hair to the side to get a look at him as he comes towards her.

Akira smiles a little when coming closer to her and getting a look at the world in front of him. He looks to Yuuma and said "You're in a good mood. Was this a perfect date?"

"Yes." Yuuma said and leans back to press her back against his chest and continue facing forward at the city. "You know, for a man who tries to hide his emotions and wants to play as the loner, deep down I know you care about others."

"And what about you?" Akira asks "Since when do you care about others?"

"Hmmmm, I really don't." Yuuma said and moves off of him and turns around to face him "But I care about you. You're such an interesting little devil."

"Please don't call me that."

"Then what can I call you?" Yuuma asks when stepping closer to move her arms around her neck and smiles back at him.

"Akira." He said with a straight expression on his face.

"Well hello Akira. I'm Yuuma, and I am a fallen angel."

Akira smirks and responds "I know. You told me."

"Okay that's enough talking. I'm done talking right now." Yuuma said and leans closer to kiss him again.

Akira remain where he is and kisses her back and wraps his arms around her waist. He was really enjoying the soft pleasurable kisses from Yuuma, but a part of him was starting to feel uncomfortable when thinking about something else. This made him lean his head back and take a step back to break the kiss with Yuuma.

Yuuma was confuse and notice him looking unhappy right now. She asks "What's wrong?"

Akira turns away from her and turns his eyes to the side. He said "It's… Something isn't right. I got to go." He looks back to her to say "I'm sorry." Then turns around and starts walking away from her

Yuuma still looks confuse as to what is going on and grabs his arm to stop him from leaving "W-Why do you have to go? What's the matter? Is it something I done?"

Akira looks back to her to say "You did nothing wrong. It's me." Then looks forward and moves away from her. He extends his devil wings and flies off the building to fly back down to the ground. He retracts his wings back inside of him and goes straight to his bike to take off by himself.

Yuuma sighs deeply with frustration and leans back against the edge of the building. She would soon lower her head down and focus on something else, which happens to be two rings on both her hands. They both appear as two silver rings with a blue-green gem on each ring. They only last for a few seconds for her to stare at them with unhappiness, then disappear from sight.

Akira made his way back home to his apartment. He parks his bike on the side of the street, hoping it does not get taken when he returns tomorrow. He carries his helmet up the stairway, walking up a dozen steps before reaching to the front door of his apartment, there he will enter to find his adopted-mother, long awaiting for him to return home. She is Chisato Hasegawa. [Yep, she's back again]

Chisato is a stunning woman with long black hair, green eyes and has a mole under her left eye. She wears red glasses, a single earring on her left ear, and a voluptuous figure that made many boys at school to call her 'all too beautiful' as a nurse. Her standard clothing is usually a green-knitted turtleneck, tight black mini-skirt with cross garter motif stockings, and would usually wear a white lab coat when going to the academy. Right now she is not wearing her lab coat and leaves her arms expose.

Chisato still works at Kuoh Academy, and has been there the same time Akira first set foot into that school. She is a popular nurse that always gets too much attention from the boys, but surprises everyone that she is single and has never been with a man before. She was also the one who saw the depression and despair from Akira and decide to bring him out of that depression by raising him as a new mother. However, as things progress with Akira's demonic power, Chisato would have to come clean and confess Akira that she too is a supernatural being that already knows about his power. Despite knowing Akira is a devil, she still sees a good and innocent person that doesn't deserve to suffer like this, which is why she promise to stay as his guardian and offer him whatever he desires from her.

Chisato was watching television when Akira came through the door. She quickly looks to the door to see him, quickly rises up off the couch and approaches him with concern look on her face. "Akira…."

"I'm home." Akira said when closing the door behind him and walks into the room to see her.

"Where have you been?" Chisato asks and stands in front of him to make him stop. She checks him out to find anything out of place and found no signs of any cuts or any damage done to his body. She looks back to him with concern and continues talking. "I've been trying to text and call you for some time, and you refuse to answer."

"I'm sorry. I was riding my bike and dating."

Chisato moves her hands off of him to place them against her hips and asks "Were you also riding your date?"

Akira scoffs and replies "What! No! We were dating and then went off track and then I had to leave." He then walks around Chisato and went straight to the kitchen.

"I was going to make dinner for the both of us, but you refused to tell me when you'll be back." Chisato said when she turns around and lowers her arms. She follows Akira to the kitchen and asks "Are you sure that's all you did on your date? Were you doing something outside your date?"

"Like what?" Akira said when opening the fridge and checking if anything he could eat

"Killing demons?"

". . . . ." Akira pause for a few seconds and moves back to turn around to face Chisato. "No."

"You're a terrible liar, Akira. I know you."

Akira sighs and walks past her. Chisato looks back at him and continues "Look, I know I can't stop you from doing your job, but could you at least not lie to me. I'm trying to look out for you."

Akira stops and said to her "I'm fine." While keeping his back towards Chisato and not turning his head to the side.

"You're not fine. I know what you're feeling. And pushing me away will only leave you all alone and depressed. I don't want to see you hurt yourself like this."

Akira sighs and looks back to Chisato. He bows his head to her and said "I'm sorry. There's a lot of things going through my head right now, and I just need time to think." After that, he stands up straight and makes his way to his bedroom to relax.

Chisato watches him leave and still looks concern towards him. She was unsure what to do to handle his rebellious behaviour. Before he could reach to the door to his bedroom, she calls out to him "I'll be making burgers for dinner. I hope you join me."

Akira goes straight to his bed and lies down to look up at the ceiling. He closes his eyes and asks himself "Yuuma…. Chisato… They make me happy. But why do I feel so sad when I feel happiness? Is it because this won't last?"

For a moment, he remembers killing that demon inside that broken hospital and feeling the rage and bloodlust in him that all he cares about was killing this demon.

"I get it. It breaks my heart, because of what I'm going to do later."

Akira stays in bed until Chisato calls him for dinner. She prepare hamburgers, which is her favourite meal and got everything on the table for the two of them to eat together. Things were awkward between the two, as neither side actually spoke to each other during this time.

Chisato breaks the silence between the two as soon as she was done eating her hamburger. "Akira. I know you don't want me around right now and trying to figure things out by yourself. However, if you ever need me, I'll always be there. Always."

Akira stops eating and looks concern and sadness on his face. He asks "Why do you still do this, despite what I am?"

"Because you're still human in the end." Said Chisato

"Am I?"

"Well, of course. And nothing is going to change that."

Akira went silent after that and starts finishing off his meal. After he is done, he cleans his plate and goes to the bathroom. While finish washing his hands, Akira looks at himself through the mirror and sees himself looking unhappy at what he is looking. His reflection would suddenly change and takes the form of a hideous monster with red skin, demon horns and black wings. This scares him for a moment, but all it took was just a blink for him to see himself again through the mirror. He turns away and remain upset as he makes his way to his bedroom.

During the time where Chisato was ready to go to bed, she walks up to Akira's door, attempted to knock on the door first and open it to see if he is okay. However, she hesitates to knock on the door and decide to leave him alone. What Chisato fails to realise is that Akira is no longer in his bedroom. He opens his window and simply jumps right out of the window to send himself falling down from the hotel. He did not hesitate to jump out and remain falling, until he opens his eyes and spreads his devil-like wings to prevent himself from slamming onto the ground. He flew over another nearby building and flies high through the dark night, while ignoring the cold wind blowing across his body. His uses his demonic eyes again to find anymore demonic energy from anyone nearby. It took him a while for him to find two demonic energies from two people, living together in a small house, which would become a next target for him.

He descends onto the ground and removes his wings to avoid any attention from anyone. He continues searching the area to find where to find those two signatures from earlier. As soon as he was getting closer, he stops when noticing one of the red signatures suddenly vanish.

"It's gone?" Akira asks himself and proceeds to move faster to find out what is going on up ahead. He removes his demonic eyes as soon as he made it to the front house, where it all ends here with no signs of any demonic presence inside the house. He saw the door still open and only faint light inside the house, so he decides to go in and investigate. He checks around the room to find out candles and a fireplace is lit, and still no sign of anyone inside. He goes further into the house and walks past the stairway to reach the door next to it that leads to the kitchen. The moment he opens that door, he found what he was looking for, but it was not how he thought it would be.

"What is this?" He asks himself while looking dumbfounded at what he found in the kitchen. Here lies a husband and wife, both sitting together and facing the wooden table in front of them, both torn apart and bound in chains. The cause of death was someone slit their throats and left them like this.

Just as he takes a few steps back, someone from behind him whispers to him "Hey." Which made him turn around quickly and take a sudden blow to the face by a heavy object that was strong enough to knock him out.

After a while of being unconscious, he wakes up to find himself sitting in a chair with his arms and legs bound together in the bloody chains that this person use to hold the others down. As he starts realising where he was, he moves his arms and legs to find out he is completely held down.

"How exciting. Another person to toy with." The one responsible comes walking around him to get into his sight. He ends up flipping the table to stand in front of him and introduces himself to him "My name is Freed Sellzen, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I work for an organisation that specialises on exorcisms."

"What the…."

"Oh, you don't have to tell me your name because I don't intend on remembering your name in my memories, so please don't."

Akira scoffs and replies "Hey, I didn't ask you to tell me your name. Nobody asked."

"A tough one. Doesn't really matter because you'll die soon. I'll make sure of it." Freed steps closer with his glowing energy blade and causing him to lean his head back at the sight of the blade getting closer to his face. Freed smiles with a sinister look on his face and continues "This'll hurt a lot, so let's see how long it'll take for you to cry for mercy."

Akira looks up at Freed's face and glares at him with anger "You'll get no satisfaction from me, freak."

Freed lowers the blade and slowly pierces it straight through his gut. Akira holds the end of the arm rest of the chair tightly and keeps his mouth shut while feeling excruciating pain from that blade piercing straight through the other side of his body and causing serious burns to his insides.

"You came knocking at the wrong house. Or are you perhaps the son?" Freed asks him

Akira looks to Freed and responds "… Vincent sent me…"

"Who's Vincent?" Freed asks

"Vincent van go fuck yourself!"

Freed did not take that lightly and ends up twisting the blade to make him groan even more. He eventually pulls out the blade and takes a few steps away from him. "There's only one way you could've known I'd be here…." He replies while keeping his back towards him. He turns off the blade, placed it back under his coat and takes out a flask to open it. He looks back towards Akira and splashes that water against his face to show his true colours.

Akira cries out in pain over the contact of the water touching his face as it starts melting through his skin. Freed smiles sadistically and responds "Just my luck. I found another devil."

Akira grinds his teeth and stares back at Freed with an angry expression. "… Holy water…."

Freed responds "What's the matter? Can't do anything?"

". . . ."

"Good. Now we can enjoy ourselves." Freed said and starts dropping more of the holy water down his right hand and causing more pain to his flesh and causing Akira to moan in pain.

As things continue like this, Akira was starting to get angrier by the second and feeling the urge to awaken his full wrath on Freed. While struggling to break out of these chains that holds him down, he says to Freed "When I get out of this, I'll burn you alive."

Freed smiles and ends up stabbing his right thigh with the blade to deliver more pain to his body. That there was enough for him to yell out loud and causing his eyes to change to darker red and unleashes his red demonic aura. With his brutal strength, he destroys the arm rests of the chair and force the chains onto the floor, while causing Freed to panic and take a few steps away from him. Akira pulls the blade out of his body and rushes to Freed to stab him in the chest with it. As Freed collapse onto the ground, he pulls out this gun on his last breath and fires at him. However, Akira transforms into that black armour and avoids getting shot to the chest with a holy bullet. He grabs Freed's hand to force the gun to face away from Akira and breaks his hand to disarm him. Now he is left in pain and struggling to breathe while having that sword lodge through his body.

"You fucked around with the wrong devil. Now you're going to die here." Akira said with a darker tone under his helmet. He extends his hand out to grab Freed by the neck.

Akira came out of a burning building with serious burns from holy water and stab wounds by holy blade. Without his armour, he leaves a trail of blood wherever he goes. He was weak, but his demonic power of endurance was enough for him to get away from this scene. However, he cannot stop the bleeding, which would eventually cause him to drop down into an alley to sit back against the wall. He was holding onto Freed's gun one hand, which looks like an M1911 pistol with white metal plating and engraving symbols on both sides of the base. As for the holy sword, he left that inside the building.

Akira sits back against the wall, dropped the gun on the floor next to him and pressing his hands against his injuries. He asks himself "Why didn't I just stay in bed… Is this really how it's going to end? After everything I fought for… I've always wanted to die… But not like this… Not until I kill him."

He was losing his sight and would only see darkness in front of him. But his time in this world was not over, all thanks to a certain someone that ends up showing up at the burning building and following the blood trail towards Akira. They walk towards him and stands in front of him, then lowers down to grab the top of his head to lift his head up to get a look of his face. His eyes remain close, so he would never know about the one in front of him is about to save his life.
