"Naoki Kashima?"

The boy in black said in a rush tone low enough for only Naoki to hear. It made his heart skip a beat. Now Naoki either subconsciously or out of habit stepped forward, reaching a hand forward to grab the boy in black.

"Raido-"

Naoki was cut off when he felt he tugged backward away from the other boy. Naoki snapped his head at who pulled him back, anger flaring up inside of him. He automatically calm down when he noticed it was a mall officer who pulled him. Unexpectedly in front of Naoki, more mall officers and Police themed stepped forward with their weapons out.
"Put your hands up now!"
The commotion grew loud between the people worried and the police shouting it was all starting to get too much for Naoki. Loud chatting, screaming kids. God it's too much...
But while all this the situation got tight,
worse.
Raidou eyes simply scanned from the police to Naoki, his eyes were unreadable but simply said Are they gonna stop this? Naoki didn't know to respond quite literally. His brain was struggling between not forcing himself to run out to Raidou and scream Don't worry he won't bite! Iike an idiot while trying not to snap at the loud panicked people around him.
The officers raised guns, ready to fire. Naoki panicked- he wasn't about to have his closest friend he had when he all alone die right before he even meet him outside the vortex world.

something whispered in his mind.

Use a spell.

What?! I can't use any magic!

You have proven you have super strength, just destroy the damn guns already.

I can't use a spell that will hurt them.

Use Bufu.

Then quickly like it was natural Naoki put closed his hand then put his thumb and index finger together. Everything seemed to freeze, slow and with demon speed, Naoki brought his hand near his mouth then blew, the cold air came from his mouth then quickly disappeared. Then the police fired their guns but nothing happened, a shot rang out and only smoke came from the guns. Panic quickly came over the many people in the mall. During this panic, Naoki made a motion toward Raidou.
Come on this way
He pointed slightly to the mall door behind him which lead to the second part of the mall. Raidou's face was still natural but his eyes said How? Nevermind.

Raidou made a small movement then pulled a small ball outside from his back pocket then threw it on the ground with a quick movement. Smoke spread everywhere and people everywhere squirmed and the police pushed people away from the smoke trying to protect them. The summoner with a quick movement he moved through the crowd of people, he took off his cape and hat to blend in with the mall people. Eventually, after making it to the second side of the mall the summoner looked around for the former demon know as Demifiend but he was nowhere to be seen, Raidou walked around looking at all the modern stuff. It was overwhelming. It wasn't until Raidou was starting to get worried when he was pulled into a small corner next to a store. Raidou reacted on natural reflex and twisted the stranger's hand.
"Ow, ow ow! Hey, it's me! Raidou let go!"

Immediately the summoner let go of the boy's hand once recognizing his voice. There stood a normal high-school boy, no glowing markings, no misplaced anger, just a teenager who seemed to be wearing a new jacket. The summoner didn't know how to feel, it was good to see his former teammate was alive and well but it was foreign to see him so.. human. They both stared at each other for a second before Raidou spoke first.
"It's good to see you again Naoki"
The summoner spoke with ease as if he wasn't just almost killed

Naoki started at Raidou wide-eyed then simply took a deep breath to compose himself then spoke with the first emotion he felt.
"Why are you here!? Aren't you meant to be protecting your capital or something!"
Ah, Anger
