Pride and Prejudice - Demon Allegiance [Private/Kiyah]

A very usual day on patrol with nothing outside the ordinary thus far was going on for the short “kid”. Kiyah was handling his usual rounds, making sure that anyone or anything that looked strange he handled. There were no summons present walking around him just now, rather instead he just had his trusty gun kept in it’s holster.

“It’s all quiet for the most part…a little too quiet at that.”

He was glancing around, scanning every nook and cranny. Hikari’s voice was quiet for a while, not a single word leaving her lips that only Kiyah would be able to hear. In all honesty this was the one thing he hated about this patrol. On top of just enough pay, it was almost always some low end monster that wanted to start trouble, never really worth the effort. With how tedious the job was, he supposes he just wanted some excitement for once, a challenge. After all until he had fulfilled his quota it wasn’t really his own time, he was following the orders of whoever was telling him what he needed to do.

First thing he needed to do was stop for a drink, so he grabbed a can of cola from the nearby store. Popping it open and taking a sip as he went to walk down one of the alleyways in the city.

“I can get a better view from up there.”

He said to himself nonchalantly, as he made his way up a long flight of stairs. Taking his sweet time because he was more than aware that he had lots of it. He eventually made his way too the top to get a better view over everything, taking a sip of the drink as he looked around.

“Still nothing worth talking about.”

But a scene below eventually did seem to catch his eye, causing him to raise a eyebrow.

“What do we have down here….”

All he could really tell at the moment was the female figure that seem to have any chance of escaped blocked by the strange figures was actually.. talking to them. He found this odd, as he expected her to do something more along the lines of run.

Upon seeing that third rise up he was ready to pounce, at least up until the point the third seem to be motioning for them to leave.

But sadly for them, the chance to walk away quietly was no longer possible.

“Done.”

Was all he muttered, quickly hopping from his current position and onto the ground. A blade with a glowing blue base that seem to be composed of some kind of energy was seen faintly for a moment, being brought through the low end demons successfully before it was put away. He finished the rest of his soda and threw it into one of the nearby dumpsters, going to turn to the female behind him. His blue hues falling upon her form as she spoke.

No, there is no way she could be serious. This had to be some kind of joke, no one could ever be this dramatic. Especially with how strange the demons acted around her for that split second. Either way, he gave her a faint wave.

“Sup. Uh..yeah, everyone gets one? I guess. You don’t need to mention it. “

Quota was fulfilled for now, so he had free time again. Might as well not be too much of a stranger than he already is.

“Name is Kiyah Nobachi. Nice to- save you and stuff.”

Though she didn’t really seem in that much danger, he’ll just play along for now.

No it can’t be seen right now, but Hikari is already making the biggest face that she can. Mentally of course, the spirit not able to be seen. She doesn’t like this girl already, she just gives her this “off “ kind of feel that she can’t explain. Then again, she’s just that overprotective of Kiyah. That being said, she’s no doubt trying to warn him.




“I don’t like her.”

Kiyah for just this moment was not paying the spirit any attention as she was trying to speak to him. Hoping that the ignoring of her would keep her quiet for now. That being said, his attention is on the female in front of him currently. The question she asked actually wasn’t too intrusive or anything of the sort, and he had pure intent to answer it. But instead, she decided to take it back. Prompting him to just blink at her a bit as she was getting ready to walk away. In truth, he does it for a number of reasons. But part of it has to do with the fact that it puts food on the table and keeps the lights on, which is a big plus. At least he had gotten his props for helping, with which he just gave her a nod.



“Don’t mention it.”

He’s not sure if he can take much credit though, after all slaying monsters like that is his job. He’s expected to do that and doesn’t really need to save anyone, just that people usually didn’t get hurt on his watch because he was able to react quick enough. So it’s more of a matter of circumstance than anything else. Now he was left with the pleasure of answering her question, if he could show her around the town she didn’t seem to know much about. The comment about how young he looked still stuck with him a bit, but he’s used to it at this point so it was in one ear and out the other. He just shrugged his shoulders towards her and nodded once more.

“If you want, sure. Doesn’t sound like too much trouble.”

He walked up to her and for the first time since the encounter, flashes a smile. Going to walk a bit in front of her.

“Follow me, we can walk around for a bit. “

Assuming she does follow, it was time for small conversation.

“So what brings you here? Anything of interest, or are you just visiting?”
