The Spirit of Rebellion

"Interrogation" at the Cafe

<3rd person P.O.V>

Akira sighed as he was standing under a tree near a shrine. Thinking back Akira thought about how it has been a week since he woke up in that forest and met Kuro, and Kurumi. Akira sighed as he picked up the bag next to him full of groceries when suddenly it began to rain "great just what I needed... oh well" he said as he put the bag back down and leaned against the tree deciding to wait the rain out. Suddenly he hears splashing and looked over to see a little girl about the same age as Kuro jumping in a puddle she wore a green rain coat with bunny ears on the hood and a a white bunny puppet on her hand and had blue hair and eyes. Akira at first ignored her appearance then remembered there was no one in the area before the rain began he snapped back into reality after he heard rapid splashing coming closer. As he looked to the side he saw Shido running past the entrance of the shrine when he stopped and stared at the little girl before she fell. Akira watched as Shido ran up to her and tried to help but she backed up and looked afraid.

Shido looked back and sees a puppy he goes back and picks it up giving it to the girl as she starts using it. From where Akira was he can't hear what she is saying so he decided to get closer after using his third eye ability confirming she was a spirit.

When Akira got close enough to hear better he noticed she was talking through the doll when suddenly his phone went off, he immediately took his phone out and answered as he saw it was Kuro. Shido turned around surprised at the sudden noise but saw nothing around, Yoshino in fright quickly escapes disappearing into thin air, all while Akira watched. Shido puzzled at the disappearance of the girl started walking away, as he passed where Akira was hiding he mumbled to himself "Yoshino... huh" he quickly walked out of site as Akira completely forgot he had Kuro on the phone as he placed it against his ear only to hear Kuro asking if he was there or not. Akira asked what it was Kuro wanted to witch Kuro simply told him to hurry up and come home because he is tired of waiting before hanging up. Putting his phone back in his pocket Akira walked over to where he hid his groceries.

As Akira started to leave he paused and said "No need to hide... I can see you... don't worry though I won't do anything after all I'm also a spirit." From the corner of his eye he saw the little girls eyes widen in surprise before he continued walking making his way home.

From behind a tree the little girl and bunny watched as he walked away before disappearing again.

<time skip brought to you by Kuro scolding Akira for taking too long.>

An other week has passed and Akira has been using that time to keep tabs on the little girl spirit he met the week before, as well as the other person he met earlier: Shido Itsuka. With the help of Kurumi's clone network and Kuros stealth abilities, as well as his own experiences from hiding from shadows, Akira has been able to watch what the two were up to.

Previously they witnessed as the little girl, whom they now knew as Hermit, was being chased by the AST before she hid in an abandoned mall where she was confronted by Shido Itsuka.

<flashback>

The three simply watched from the shadows and tried to see what would happen, each of them for different reasons. Akira was simply curious, and wanted to see the extents of both of their abilities, Kuro was also curious but for a different reason, and Kurumi was worried about Shido, because he is essential to her plan. Not much happened when suddenly one of the two girls who were fighting each other burst in as Shido yelled "Tohka what are you doing here!?"

Akira turned the rest out as Kuro began to speak "that spirit is codenamed 'Princess' and judging from what the boy called her her civilian name is Tohka." Kurumi continued where he left of saying "Princess is a strong spirit in terms of brute force but also from the records you gave me Akira is emotionally unstable, which is dangerous for a spirit like her." As Kurumi finished speaking Akira decided to continue and add his information as well. "Princess is extremely powerful when I first woke up in this world I witnessed her going on a rampage, if Shido had not appeared I don't think she would have calmed down." Akira said as he stayed silent before continuing "Shido appears to be something like her safety blanket, and eases her instability, but it seems she is not one to share" he said as he pointed to the small group as Tohka was holding up the bunny puppet and yelling at it. Meanwhile Hermit was trying to jump up and reach it while Shido was panicking.
