The Second Demon

Chapter 9: Flashbacks are important

(A/N: Fyi, everytime a flashback happens it will a narrator's Pov, spectator Pov or an Omniscient POV aight? Let's start then) 

*Flashback Starts*

The sun was shining upon the world, insects were chirping a certain melody and birds were singing happily.

The green leaves on dozens of trees were swaying and dancing alongside the rhythm of the spring wind.

In a certain clearing, a few children could be seen gathered in a circle. One can hear them laughing boisterously and happily, they were acting like they just heard the funniest joke in the world or found the greatest toy in the world.

…If one focused clearly and in close proximity with the group, they would've been able to hear it.

One single sound amidst the loud laughs from the kids.

A single whimper, the sound of crying, like a little puppy that's in pain and calling for help.

The children made a circle and left an empty circle in the middle, another kid can be seen sitting on the ground.

He was crying and kept trying to wipe his tears away which fails spectacularly.

Sounds of jeers were heard all around him.

"Come on! Try to speak again!"

"Form a single sentence! Come on!"

"Try that stupid thing…..uh….that…that"

"*snort* Pose?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Try that stupid pose thing again!"

"Weirdo!"

"Creep!"

"Do it or we'll beat you up!"

They then started to tighten the circle and started approaching the crying kid.

He started shaking even more as he lifts his head, he covers his face with both of his hands while shaking his head.

"No! No! Please-" he then paused, as if he expect someone else to finish his words for him.

"Ah!? Please what? Finish your sentence dammit!" One of the kids got angry and lifted his leg as if he wants to kick the crying kid's face.

But before he could do so, a voice resounded, "STOP!!" 

The kid stopped his movement with one leg lifted in a kicking position before he felt someone grabbing him and hugging him by his waist.

He then felt himself falling backwards before getting his head slammed to the ground and lost his consciousness.

The other kids backed off immediately with wide eyes and had shocked expressions written all over their face.

"B-boss!"

"Dammit, the boss is down!"

The one who knocked down the so called 'boss' then threw the body to the side before he rose up and dusted himself.

He had brown short hair and had a fierce scowl on his face. He was wearing a dark green kimono with a white belt. He gave the group a glare and lifted one of his foot before stepping on the 'body', he then pointed at the other kids except for the one currently crying on the ground.

"You bastards! How dare you bully my friend!! If you guys are so tough, how about fighting me instead!?"

He then gave them a 'bring it on' gesture with both of his hands.

The kids flinched and retreated a few steps backwards. They're clearly scared of him.

"T-the boss is down! What should we do!?"
