Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 125 - The Welcome

The train arrived in Kyoto and all teachers and students got off at Kyoto Station. Groups of friends were huddled together as they were about to make their way to the hotel. A hotel owned by the Gremory household. The Kyoto Sirzechs Hotel. But this was where Jin would be splitting up from the rest of the group. Although temporarily, he had somewhere else to be and something else to do.

Rias: Are you sure you don't want any of us to come?

Mittelt: We could be there for moral support!

Jin: I'm sure. I'll be fine.

Jin said as he didn't want to burden anyone with the potential struggle to was about to go through. Still unsure if he wanted to go through with it. But it was something he had to do. Not only did he want to get this over with, but going back to at least see his guardian was something Ban would want. It was close to being one of his last requests.

Sona: Know that when you get back, we will be there for you.

Sona said holding one of Jin's hands and giving him a small kiss on the cheek. Though even with that she blushed a ruby-red. She wasn't great at intimacy and she couldn't put on a poker face like the others.

Akeno: My my Sona~. I never knew you were so shy~.

Sona: HEY! I'm not shy!

Mittelt: I'm sure you're not~. The way you practically humped Jin like a wild animal while making out with him. That's not something a shy person would do~.

Rias & Akeno: WHAT?!

Sona blushed a crimson red as she tried to defend herself. Turning to Jin to have him help her explain, but he was already gone. Leaving Sona alone for the onslaught of questions Akeno and Rias began asking. With Jin nowhere to be seen.

But Jin was somewhere, walking out of the Kyoto train station with his bag in hand. Walking back home, to a place he ran away from many years ago. Yet he couldn't get far. He didn't know if obstacles constantly appeared in his life or if he was just unlucky enough for it to be extremely eventful. But he felt his school shirt was grabbed from behind him with a small hand. Jin slowly turned around to look at a small girl behind him, one with a bright smile.

The girl was very young, at a short height of 4 foot 8 inches. She had golden, blonde hair tied in a ponytail. It was the same golden blond as her eyes. She wore a traditional red and white shrine maiden outfit and tall geta, wooden sandals. Worn with white tabi socks.

But Jin could tell something else about her, about her energy. She was a Kitsune.

Jin: Yes?

???: Hi!

The small girl said with a big smile. Looking at Jin's crimson eyes with her golden yellow eyes. But Jin slowly crouched down as he looked at the small girl. From what he thought, she didn't seem scared, but extremely happy.

Jin: Are you lost? {For a lost girl she's extremely happy.}

The girl shook her head with a smile as Jin grew confused. But looking at the girl and her happy smile, he quickly gained an idea of what was happening. This was a child's curiosity. She could tell Jin was a Kitsune, just like he could tell she was one. Yet he was a Kitsune who came from outside of Kyoto. She was curious about him.

Jin: Look, as much as I would like to entertain you. {Which I wouldn't.} I have somewhere I need to be. Is there someone I can call or do you know how to get home?

???: My mum doesn't own a phone. And I do know how to get home by myself.

Jin: Great.

Jin said as he stood up and began walking off. He had somewhere important to go and the curiosity of a child wasn't going to distract him from that. But the child promptly grabbed onto Jin as he tried to walk away. Dragging the girl along with him as her small body and lightweight offered no resistance to Jin's movements.

???: Wait! I've claimed you! At least ask me my name! Or dote on me or something!

Jin stopped in his tracks as he looked back strangely at the child. Very confused and concerned with the words that just came out of the child's mouth. Even concerned about what people around might think hearing the child's words.

Jin: I... I have no words for what you just said. But whoever taught you that is a very bad influence. Now if you would let go of me, I have to go.

???: But... But I love you! {I waited here for ages feeling your power come closer!}

Every pedestrian looked at Jin and the child. The civilians of Kyoto were about to have a very normal reaction to what they just saw. Taking their phones out from their pockets or bags, calling the number for emergency lines. About to report what was just happening.

Jin was in trouble.

Jin: It is not what it looks like! I do not know this child! Wait I mean this child came onto me! No I mean she's too young!  No, I'm mean... I... I... Ah shit!

Jin said as he instantly disappeared in front of hundreds of pedestrians and the civilians of Kyoto, none of which were supernatural, besides the small child. He disappeared from a very bad situation and he was lucky no one got a good look at him before he left using Instant Movement. Jin couldn't quite explain the situation he was now involved in, but the small girl could as she smiled widely.

???: Wait for me, big brother!

The girl said as she turned into a small fox and dashed along the floor. Every pedestrian around looked in complete shock.

Watching a small fox quickly dash away. Presumably in the direction, the other man disappeared to. Yet Jin and the girl were lucky. No one managed to record their supernatural feats.
