[Trouble]

Chapter 2 - Cat and Mouse, chasing time!

Two people appeared under a shadow in a narrow alley. A black cloaked man wearing a mask glanced behind him. A young man, looking lost, standing behind the man. A pair of wings faded can be faintly seen behind the young man.

The cloaked man walked in front, however upon noticing that the young man does not follow him, he stopped and turned around, he went back and stretched his hand to the young man forehead, "As of how you are now, no matter how powerful you were, is a useless piece for me." The man said when the young man looked up with a blank eyes.

"[Implement embedment]."

"Ghh..." the young man grunted as pain assaulted his head, a symbol appeared on his forehead. "It hur...t..." The young man mumbled painfully before he stand still and unmoving.

"[Implement control – Overwrite record]"

The young man with a gasp, fall to the floor, his blue eyes slowly changes into a darker blue until it become finally black like an abyss. His expression seems to slacken, as he now became expressionless, like a wooden doll.

"[Return]" The man said and took away his hand and then waited. He looked at the young man, seeing the encarved symbol glow and disappear from the young man forehead, everything return to normal as the young man moved again. "Lets go, I would like to show you something." The man said and so he walked at the front.

The young man no longer look lost and confused as earlier as he looked around, moving animatedly as he took in the surrounding detail with interest. He followed the cloaked man. They enter a town square, with a water fountain in the middle.

A lot of people wore white clothes and dresses, behind them are a big pair of wings. The young man looked almost like them except that he only does not wear white clothes like them, his faded pair of wings however now look clear and solid instead.

Though as they are walking, on a tower, there is a baby laying on top of it, despite the baby's crying, none of the winged people went over to the baby. It looked like the baby were abandoned there, the young man could not understand why they did so, so he looked puzzled.

"It was left there by the parents. Because of the pair of black wing that the baby was born with, they were unable to accept the child." The man said with a grin.

"Why is that so? Are they not the same?" The young man asked as he furrow his brow.

"Black wing is considered as a demon child. These people are of pure blooded angels, so it was an unacceptable thing for that child to have a black wing. So they are going to leave the child there to die."

"That is cruel..." The young man mumbled and instantly walked toward the tower, however the man grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

From the alley that they came out from, the young man heard two loud voices. The man clicked his tongue as he dragged the young man away. The young man hardly able to glance behind to see a beautiful woman and a handsome man chasing them, shouting "Valence! Wait up!" before the man and the young man disappear into the shadow again.

"Ah, gone again!" The beautiful woman stomped her feet angrily.

"They won't be far, calm down Shinai." The man patted her head as he shake his head a bit with a sigh.

In a deserted place, two figure appear from the group, startling a group of gruesome creature in the area. However they then no longer paid attention to the two of them despite what just happened. For them that are living in this world, such bizarre ability is something very common. There are just too many different type of weird ability that they no longer felt the need to keep track of them.
