Chapter 15

While walking to the place where Atsushi and Kyouka were, Ali saw Atsushi at a crepe stand.

"Hey Atsushi, where's Kyouka?" Ali asked, walking up to him.

Atsushi slightly flinched, being caught off guard. "Oh hey Ali... Kyouka's waiting nearby, I'm buying some crepe's to make her feel better." He explained, motioning to a small red silhouette sitting on a bench.

"Oh, what happened?" Ali asked, her brow slightly furrowing.

Atsushi warily glanced at Kyouka, who was blankly staring at her lap. "Well you see..."

Ali bit the bottom of her lip as she listened to how Kyouka had ended up messing up her first mission. "So you're telling me that she accidently attacked out client?" She confirmed, looked at Kyouka.

Atsushi nodded, "She seems to have a bad habit of resorting to violence whenever something bad happens, we should probably try to her her fix that habit if she wants to live normally." He said, taking the crepe's from the stand.

Ali nodded as she walked side by side with Atsushi back to Kyouka.

Atsushi smiled as he extended the crepe to Kyouka, snapping her out of her trance. "Here you go."

Kyouka happily took the crepe an then noticed Ali, looking down back to her lap. "I'm sorry Ali-sama..." She muttered, taking a small bite out of the crepe.

Atsushi and Ali both sat down next to Kyouka. "I'm not mad or anything Kyouka." Ali said, taking a bite out of her own crepe.

Atsushi looked for Ali for confirmation as he cleared his throat. "But... You don't want to hurt anyone anymore, so me and Ali decided that we could maybe help you get rid of that bad habit." He said awkwardly.

Kyouka looked up from her lap. "Yeah... I'd like that." She finally said, taking another bite out of her crepe.

Atsushi let out a sigh of relief, "Well how about we start off by learning some new skills, maybe stiff not related to combat and more defensive?" He suggested.

Kyouka perked up, "Like my feminine wiles?" She suggested, her posture straightening.

Isn't she like... 14?

Ali slightly sweat dropped, "Kyouka... Could you maybe explain what this 'feminine wiles' is?" Ali asked, slightly leaning forward.

"Ah, you see it's a trick I learne-" Kyouka was quickly cut off by Atsushi.

"It's also a trick you should forget about and never use again!" Atsushi frantically said, waving his hands in the air.

Ali felt slightly concerned but decided to drop the topic. Then her eye's wandered to the phone on Kyouka's neck.

Atsushi seemed to be thinking the same thing as he glanced at the phone. "You still haven't thrown that thing away?" He asked.

Kyouka looked down at the phone and then wrapped her hand around the cold metal, clenching it with her hand.

"The mafia won't ever be able to call you again but... Doesn't it bring back painful memories?" Atsushi asked, staring at the phone in concern.

Ali thoughtfully stared at the phone. "The memories may be painful but... There were probably some precious ones sprinkled into it... Weren't there?" She asked, smiling at Kyouka.

Kyouka stayed silent, twiddling with the phone before she looked up again.

Smiling, Ali and Atsushi both ruffled her hair. "Say Kyouka... Do you want to ever use Demon Snow again? Or do you never want to see it again?" Atsushi finally asked, looking at Kyouka's eyes.
