Facade

Demon Self

"Where are you meeting this dude, anyway?" Hitomi asked enthusiastically.

Haru was walking with a map in front of his face. He looked at it intently. Saito was walking a bit slouchy, looking around the streets with his hands in his pockets. His eyes wandered as he noticed odd details. A lot of the windows were broken, and it was funny how it looked like the street was from an old gangster movie. He looked at Hitomi. He noticed she was also having her hands in her pockets, which was weird for her. Usually her hands are all over the place, since she is a ball full of energy. She had a smile plastered and she looked like she was thinking. Also odd.

"Well, the left street, I guess." He pointed to it.

And sure enough, there were three men there. They looked like they were in their thirties and had the same vibe as the driver. The 'I'll fuck you up if you dare displease me' vibe. Though, to be fair, Saito has that vibe too. Too bad he's actually a cat loving moron whose favorite movies are romantic comedies that probably aren't even funny.

"Look who's here. Usami, correct?" One man asked, getting closer.

"Y-yes, sir!" Haru said and took a very stiff, scared shitless, standing position.

"A pussy, aren't ya?" The man asked, pretty amused by him.

Haru laughed, trying way too hard not to piss anyone off. The man patted him on the head, showing his superiority. And by superiority, I mean the man being taller and more dangerous looking than Haru. The man then noticed something. His lips grew into a sneer. He ignored Haru and let go of him, walking past him.

"Well, if it isn't Kimura." He looked at the much shorter girl.

"Hi, Mihato-Dono!" She smiled happily.

Something told Saito that it wasn't sincere. She told them her sister had business there, so how does he know her? She was either lying, or she was with her and got beaten up, but she was to embarrassed to admit it.

"What are you boys doing with a brat like that?" He asked turning to them.

"My thoughts exactly." Saito commented.

The man, Mihato, looked at him straight in the eye. His eyes widened. He only now noticed that Saito was much taller than him. He felt pathetic now, like he was less in charge. And to put more salt on the wound, Saito even looked more terryffing than him. Black hair and dark blue eyes that were glaring down at him, with eerily pale skin. The teen did look like he worked out, or he got into a lot of fights. Saito looked kinda demonic, which he was, but Mihato didn't know that. He just felt instinct alarmness from him.

"Y-Yeah..." Was all he could manage to mutter out.

Pathetic. How could he be so weak in front of some teenager? He saw Hitomi smirk. Did she come just to see that? That girl was confusing.

"What are you smirking at!?" He barked at her angrily.

"Oh, nothing." She grinned her signature wide, mocking grin.

He wanted to punch it right off her. Mihato went to say something. Saito pretty quickly got bored again and interrupted.

"Would you please just give Usami the thing he wanted?" Saito asked, irritation clear in his voice.

"H-Here." One of his men gave Haru a bag.

Mihato looked at one of his men in anger. Did he seriously just give that without his consent? He just blindly did what some idiotic little teen said because he was scared? This rotten kid is gonna pay.

"Oh, thank you! Let me just give you-" Haru started, but he was cut off when action started happening.

Mihato just blindly punched Saito in the face. Everyone was wide-eyed, except Hitomi and Mihato. In fact, Hitomi was grinning.

"Time for the show." She commented while her toothy grin grew.

"H-huh?" Haru questioned.

There became a full on fight. Punching, kicking and even rare slaps. Saito was bleeding from his nose, because Mihato managed to only punch him once, and that was on the surprise first attack. He was just so utterly confused. The kid was faster and stronger than him. His strength was unbelievable. Whenever Saito would punch him, he would feel like he was in hell. Nobody punched him like that before. He was pretty much done for. Just laying on the floor after only fifteen measly minutes of 'fighting'. He was still being kicked, because it didn't seem like Saito would stop anytime soon. No, it looked like he couldn't stop. Mihato was terrified. Saito's dark blue eyes weren't like they were before. It's like they've gone utterly cold. His face was emotionless, like he wasn't himself or even controlling what he's doing. The demon half has taken over. Will he be beaten to death by some whiny teenager?

"Hey, Ito-Sama, I think you're overdoing it!" Hitomi cheerily stood next to Saito.

However, he didn't listen. He still continued to kick, like he didn't even hear her. Hitomi's eyes, to nobody's knowledge, went serious. Like she realised something. She just grinned and returned to goofiness. She went in front of Saito, smiled happily and unexpectedly smacked him across the face. He didn't budge, he still continued kicking, a bit rhythmically even. She frowned. This time she punched him and he went flying across the wall. His eyes widened, returning to its normal form.

"W... What the hell!?" He yelled, a vein popping out of his head.

"Ah, good. You're back to normal." She said nonchalantly.

"What do you mean?" His black eyebrows furrowed, then he noticed the beat up man lying a few centimeters next to him, all bloodied and beaten.

"Nothing, really. You were kinda knocked out by Mihato-San. I really didn't know what to do, so I just punched you awake."

"H-how did that happen? Did I...?" He started, a terrified expression came on his face when he thought about his demon side breaking through.

"Eh, the dude attacked you because his friend was scared shitless of you. The friend tried to stop him, and a fight break loose." She explained.

"Should we call the ambulance or?" Saito asked worriedly.

"Already done. His friends are going to the hospital to inform them." Hitomi continued as if nothing happened.

"O-oh." He looked over to Haru, who looked confused as hell.

He looked behind Saito, like he was searching for something. Then he smiled awkwardly.

"Haha! Yeah! That sure was a crazy adventure today! Let's finally go home!" Haru said hurriedly as they went toward the place they were left off.

The car picked them up and drove them home in awkward silence. Saito knew something wasn't adding up. Something happened that they're not telling him. Oh, well. He'll figure it out sooner or later.
