The Second Chance Contract (Himeno X F.OC) (ON HOLD)

-Double Discussion-

Sho watched the slashed up forearms quite disgustingly have pieces of muscle lash out to connect with the severed part like mini tentacle feeler, pulling the wounds closed as a layer of skin webbed over the closing holes before her arms were normal and head gash was fixed.

It felt nice to have blood again, it felt nice to have anything again, after so much time in the void, that eternal pain that still ate away at her, she might have fragmented herself but she still felt the agony of the void, that part was still her no matter what.

She did wonder if once, in a far more painful future, the void would win and that part of her would die but didn't have time to think about it.

"Woah, gnarly." She looked up at the half eyed human who held two shot glasses and a bottle of expensive liquor for some type, having gone inside to cover up the bite on her arm but came back with these.

"Injuries don't just poof away do they?" She asked with a grin, arm lifted to show her, only her own dried blood remained on her skin as proof she had been hurt, the wound repaired and stuck out like a sore thumb because of the lack of blood caked on the new skin.

"I suppose not but I've only had witnessed Denji's transformation and his is almost instant limb sprouting."

"Denji ey? Who's the guy?" She asked.

"I answer and I get a question to ask?" Himeno tried, seeing the devil's smile grow larger.

"A deal is a deal." She answered, amused as human was playing her game, the human smiling back as she filled the glasses.

"Denji is a hybrid I guess? He is a human but also the chainsaw devil all mashed into one, he can pull a ripcord and transform his head and arms into chainsaws... It was because of his important that you got your contract with me so you may have spotted him on the scene that day."

"So this Denji almost cost me my human huh?" Sho thought. "Well? What's your question?"

"Makima is--?" "Seriously? Makima again?" Sho rose a brow as she grabbed one of the glasses, cutting her off on purpose. "Do you want to fuck her?" She waved at her to stay silent, with a wave of her hand, making a piece of contract paper appear and put it on the table, snapping her fingers, those cursive blue letters appearing on it.

Makima's listening.

Himeno looked around even if her apartment was like really high on the building.

"What if I say yes?" Himeno asked back, pulling out a pen from somewhere. 'So is she a fiend?' She wrote while Sho would tap the paper and her reply would write itself out.

"I'd advise you to find someone less focused on their work." 'No she isn't.'

"Sadly true, she has a nice physic tho." 'So not human but not a fiend, either she is like Denji or like you, an actual devil.'

"Other woman look good too, it would be easier on you." 'Are you asking or just stating?'

"True, a night at the bar and I can find myself someone similar to her, Denji is already head over heels for her anyway." 'Just stating... We need to talk with Kishibe soon.'

"Plus I am sure she wouldn't give you a rise anyway even if it would be a good fuck." Sho drank the shot. 'Who's Kishibe?'

"Don't remind me, the pay is good yes but to risk my life I sometimes would wish for more." 'An answer for an answer?'

"Don't worry, I am now here and we'll get the Ghost back too, soon enough." 'You know the way too my heart.'

"I know, I just wish it was fast, I'll accept that as my rise if anything." 'Kishibe, my mentor and an experienced devil hunter, he thinks that Makima has some plans that fly over all of our heads, plans that endanger humanity as a whole and we want to stop this from happening but she is so secretive that we can get nothing from her.'

"A devil as payment? Ghost can't be worth that much." 'Interesting, what do you wanna know?'

"Hey! Ghost is a really worthy payment, he is a nice devil and a powerful one even if I can use only one of his arms." Himeno downed her shot too before refilling the glasses for both. 'Makima must be a devil right? Well at least I think so, more plausible with rumors of how powerful her contracted devils are, I am not even sure those are contracts anymore. What devil is it?'

"I wouldn't say that, I needed to offer part of myself for you, I don't really like that contract." 'Conquest, the control devil, one of the four horsemen, powerful devil but worry not, with my web of contracts I can protect you from her.'

"It's you that proposed that idea, not my fault." 'Can you really? Have you just seen the aftermath of her power? And you are weakened as you said yourself, trapped away.'

"I'll need to remake a contract with it when we meet." 'I am trickery, cunning, lies, traps and foul play, and Conquest, Control relies heavily on a basis of human greed and want to extort everyone out of their land, riches and lives, control would be hard if humanity were not driven by their own hubris.'

This time they clinked their glasses together before drinking the contents of them.

"You can try, I won't hold you back." Himeno shrugged, filling the glasses again. 'We want to stop her from trying anything but we only have one chance to act, will you help us then?'

"I will definitely try." 'I will definitely try, she is still hard to outsmart but yes, I promised to protect you, Makima is a danger too all that oppose her, I'll keep you safe.'

Himeno smiled as Sho flicked the contract paper and it rolled in a ball that she grabbed and crushed into a puff of black smoke between her teeth. The human clicked her pen a few times before putting it down.

"Good, that's good." She said with a smile towards the devil who just grinned and winked at her.
