Until We Break

New enemies and allies - Chapter 6

Akira POV

I sat in my office, crocheting a frog themed winter hat as I waited for something interesting to happen. It had been a slow day, School being as uninteresting as possible. I had a bad feeling about what was going to happen. "You do this everyday, how are you not committing arson or something." Itona asked. I rolled

My eyes at this as the door opened. I saw a familiar face as it opened. The boy I had been avoiding, Hiro. He had his black hair tied back into a small ponytail, similar to mine as his look remained calm. I hadn't told him I took over my mothers division in the monastery so I was surprised that he wasn't shocked.

"Akira, I need your help. With... something demon related." He looked at me. I looked at him. He wasn't one to really join in the war between the two. As we were both halfbreeds, he knew he could come to me, but I wonder if he knew.. maybe the dream was right. I motioned to the chair in front of the desk as I sat down. He closed the door behind him and sat down in the chair in front of me. He was worried about something.

"Ooh are we going to fight something?" Itona beckoned. I sighed and looked at Hiro for a moment. "What's wrong?" I asked. He took a Moment before sighing and looking down. His hair glistened under the dim yellow lighting in the room. It was mainly lit by candles, as of a suspicion that it would keep phantoms out. "There's a demon, Azazel Fukada I think." He spoke. The name was familiar. Azazel. Itona started to laugh slightly.

"They've been killing in the masses and I can't get to them. I know you and Itona are going to have to make a choice on your own to if you'll help, but this needs to stop either way. After this I'll leave you both to your chaotic fights with Em and Princess." He spoke lowly. My eyes widened. How did he know about Itona. I looked at Itona for a moment as he nodded and I sighed. "I presume we could help. Let me know what you need and I'll try to provide it."

"Thank you. I want to start with a stake out to observe her.." Hiro started off with. I looked at Itona as he looked at me with a smirk. "I want to talk to pretty boy here first." He proclaimed. I only looked at Hiro before sighing and looking into his eyes. That's caught his attention, causing him to look at me with a blank expression. "Itona wants to talk to you. Is that okay?" I asked, looking down at the paperwork and notes I had been taking.

"Sure, I guess." Hiro sighed out, shrugging slightly. I looked at Itona who smiled and touched my shoulder. For once, his presence felt warm, as if something familiar was guiding me.

Itona POV

I soon came out into Akiras body, my red horns piercing out of his hair, and my tail swaying from the back of his outfit. My ears extended as I looked at the blacked haired man in front of me. God; he was cute. I wouldn't normally swear on god, but if he turns out to have feelings for Darwin I don't know what I would do.

"I'll do it, on one condition, Hiro." I spoke, akiras once semi perky voice lowering and going into a seductive tone. Hiro looked shocked at the voice change. His cheeks slightly turning pink as I smirked and ran my fingers through my hair. "Uh... right. What is it?" He asked, looking away from me.

"You stop pushing Akira away and I'll help you. I know you want what's best for him but as his demon, I can humbly say that what your doing to him is practically Torture. He wants to be friends with you again, pretty boy." I explained, looking at Akiras well kept fingernails that were painted black with black nail polish.

"Yeah, okay. Don't call me pretty boy.

"I'll call you what I want to, bastard."

Two nights later

Azazel POV

The air grew thick as I put a white cloth over my crimson red eyes. I tied the cloth over my ponytail but under my pink haired bangs, only a two strands of hair escaping the elastic and framing my face. My head hurt in two spots as blood retracted back into my head, black horns disappearing from the world. It took a moment before the pain stopped and I could breath normally again.

I scoffed, the blood covered alley way only making my head hurt more. It was a surprise that I could see through this cloth, but I could. I stepped over the mutalated remains of a man with curly blonde hair. A pathetic guy who wanted my advances. I decided to teach him a bloody lesson.

I wore a black blood stained t-shirt, paired with some blue jean overalls. The blood was prominent. The smell was potent. The blooded faded off my clothes as I licked my lips and knelt down to look at the body. I took a Swiss Army knife out of my pocket and started diving up the body, keeping my eye on a dark corner of the alley. Someone was there.

"Ito? Is that you?" I asked, my voice sounding innocent.

Emira POV

I stared in horror as this thing started to chop up the innocent man's body. I couldn't move. I was scared. "Ito? Is that you?" She called out. That's when I saw a pale hand come out from behind me and cover my mouth. The hand had leather on it. There was two people breathing behind me. It caused my breathing to quicken as my fear only grew. "Yeah, it's me. You should grab your harvest and go soon." I heard Akira's voice respond. "The angels are coming for us, like now." He continued. This only scared me more, before Hiro stood in front of me. He put a single finger over his mouth as Akira let go of me and I stayed quiet.

"Damn angels have to ruin everything. Make sure to take your feed before that bitch takes over again." The girl responded as she got up and exited the alley. Akira sighed before walking out of the shadows. He wore a black jumper with a matching beanie, his hair untied and down for once. He kneeled down and examined the bodies face. Hiro soon followed in a matching outfit.

"Looks to be about.. 17 at the latest." Akira sighed out, reaching out to the bodies eyes and shutting them before bowing his head. "May he rest peacefully." He continued. I followed behind them, the bad feeling growing stronger. I wanted to just find Mai and tell her everything. "What the fuck is going on!?" I finally managed to speak, catching their attention. Akira looked cold, as I noticed his hair was different. His streak was gone and he had horns appearing out of his head, and a tail to match. This... this was the guy I had been fighting.

"That was Azazel, who I just saved your sorry ass from." The boy spoke. At this point I didn't know if it was Akira or not. Why was Hiro working with him. This was so confusing and hard to understand. "Emira, this is Itona. Itona, Emira. I'm sure you've met before." Hiro spoke, getting off the ground and motioning to the guy.

"We've met before. Hello, Hello guardian." Itona greeted me coldly. I took a moment as my halo and wings appeared, summoning a pink aura in my hand the brought me a dagger. "Why shouldn't I kill you right here and now?" I growled out, glaring at the man. He rolled his eyes as he sarcastically held his hands up.

"Because this isn't my body. You kill me, you kill Akira, okay kid?" He spoke coldly. I sighed, everything disappearing as I looked at him. Hiro just took a moment before whacking the back of Itona's head, causing Itona to glare at Hiro. "Look, pretty boy, if she disrespects me, I disrespect her." He scoffed out. I looked at him, glaring as I took my jacket off and covered the face of the body. I couldn't bear looking at it.

No matter how many times I looked at Itona, I couldn't grasp the idea of it. Akiras body... Possession maybe? I sighed, taking a moment before walking out of the alley, leaving the two alone.
