Loneliness.
It was a pain that ached and ate away at his stoic heart for over a month, and the Devil of Power hated every last moment of it. The outcome of World War 4 had not been kind to him, even with his abstention. He knew that others had participated, and he held no ill will towards them -- but, to him, he had more important goals: keep Ichijou safe and away from Demon World at all costs.
It was no place for her, and he didn't want to put her in danger. But, unfortunately, the aftermath of the war would seem to prove different. Even so much as walking through the streets of Japan earned him dirty looks, people seeing him as a horrifying monster that could snap at any point. Some punks even had the gall to try and beat him up just for the sake of him being a demon.
Even more unfortunate, his retaliation was not taken kindly. So, for the last month, he had isolated himself in some of the furthest reaches of the Demon World, forcing himself to stay away from his lover and cursing himself every day for it. This day, he sat atop a mountain, his knees held close to his chest, a colossal sword buried into the ground next to him, caked in dried blood.
Every day away from Ichijou hurt. He wanted to go back and see her -- even if just for a second, but he knew that he had to stay here, where devils...no, monsters, like him, belonged.
But, it was all for her sake. To keep her safe, to keep the stain of his reputation as a demon far away from someone he loved so, so dearly. Even if it hurt, if she could live peacefully and happily, that was more than enough. But, the days had taken their toll. Every second, every minute, every hour of every day felt so much longer than it had before, and his emotions had reached such a boiling point that he had lashed out against hundreds of his own kind, desperate to vent out and release these poisonous thoughts and emotions as a way to cope with his self-penance.

BLOODY REBELLION
ICHIJOU MUIRA
Ah, so this is what a realm within the demon world looked like, huh? Ichijou mused as she traversed the outlands of Demon World with Arianda. There was a sort of childish awe in her expression as she gazed around, seeing a demon or two on their way as they passed by. In fact, rather than simply watch, she took pictures and sent them to her social media platform.
Selfies' in the demon realm, yesssssir.
Anywhosit, Ichijou quickly regained her composure as she steeled herself for the reunion with Kokuto. She was a spoiled brat and being the spoiled brat that she was, she would not stand for letting another day pass without being in his arms. She needed someone to encourage her narcissism. She needed someone whose shoulders she could hop on and use as a personal form of travel when walking seemed dull and borin'. Indeed, she wasn't gon' just let Kokuto think he'd leave the legendary fang-toothed extraordinaire alone. Nope!
Utilizing her enhanced eyesight as a Sueki, she could perceive a mountain. Sensing that faint spiritual pressure, she leaped forward, utilizing her blood burst ability to reach the mountain by accelerating at a speed that matched shunpo. Landing at the cliff, she gazed at Kokuto from behind. Although this was never a form he ever showed to her at all, she just recognized his aura. She knew this was her Freddy Kreuger cosplayin' boyfriend.
Poking a finger at his back, she simply said...
"Boop~"

Demon world... Not quite as terrible most may wish to make it out to be. However, it certainly was unwise for those who were not demons, or were not in the company of a demon, to simply wander around here alone. A woman Ari once knew, Ceal, had encountered the kind of predatorial behavior demons could exhibit; of course, she had experienced at Ari's own two hands. However, that was the past. Arianda let out a small hum as she watched Ichijou take more than a few selfies, Ari likely being dragged into the pictures some. She didn't mind. Ichijou had taken other pictures of them before; but Arianda had asked Ichijou not to take any pictures of her face. They were, after all, some rather... interesting pictures. However, Arianda simply let that thought skip through her mind as she watched Ichijou speed off in the direction of Kokuto.
Arianda couldn't help but grin some as she watched Ichijou disappear up the mountain, towards her boyfriend; her man. It was quite amusing to see how Ichijou dashed off quite enthusiastically. Arianda followed behind, flying and jumping through the air; taking more time so she could let Ichijou arrive there first. She would be safe, after all.
Eventually, Arianda landed a few feet to Ichijou's left quite silently; humming a quiet tune as she let Ichijou approach and poke Kokuto's back. Afterwards, the demon moved to the side where Kokuto kept his giant sword, and she leaned against it; playfully sticking her tongue out at him. This was a good spot. However, not exactly the best place to hide from your vampire girlfriend and her demonic friend. Besides, Arianda did promise Ichijou she would drag Kokuto back; and she planned to drag him back by his ear if he refused too profusely. After all, in his attempt to protect Ichijou, he had harmed and worried her more than anything else could.

A breeze briefly came by as he sat there, tilting his head toward the sky, sending a shiver down his back. Even in a state like this -- where he had become a true devil of war and battle, embodying the nature of the Eris Child sealed inside him -- he still felt chills. It was remarkably human, wasn't it? But, as Kokuto felt two presences entering the Demon World, he initially brushed it off, keeping a hand ready in the event that he would need to defend himself yet again.
But, both of the presences were familiar. A wave of dread washed over him as he felt one of them coming closer and closer. He cursed himself again and again as he felt the presence firing towards him like a bullet, before stopping and gently poking his back, with just one word coming from her. Kokuto couldn't help but smile -- even now, she still managed to be as silly and goofy as she always did. But, that didn't change the fact that he was furious beyond words.
As he heard Arianda humming to herself as she strode up beside him, leaning against his sword, he slowly got to his feet, his hands balled into fists as he turned to stare at her, his now emerald eyes glimmering with hate and rage. Without so much as a word, Kokuto drew his arm back and punched Arianda in the face, hard. With the empowered strength of his Chasm Revival and his already large amount of strength, it would likely have been enough to crack bones and tear skin and muscle while also knocking her down.
Regardless of if it hit or not, a powerful blast of wind pressure shot outward from the aftermath of the punch. With the same hate and fury in his eyes, Kokuto finally spoke.
"What the FUCK were you THINKING, bringing her here?!"
Taking in deep breaths, only to release them shaky, Kokuto's hands were clenched tightly at his sides as he continued, his voice lowering, but still dripping with rage.
"I did EVERYTHING in my power to try and keep her AWAY from here, to PROTECT her, and you just...fucking throw her in here without so much as a goddamn second THOUGHT?!"
Despite how angry he was -- it was all out of genuine love and care for the petite vampire that stood next to him. If he were being honest, he missed her terribly and wanted nothing more than to hug her, to hold her, to kiss her, and just be with her right then and there for the rest of time. His heart ached every single moment of every day that he spent away from her in this self-imposed exile and isolation.
After all, love could make people do really crazy things sometimes.
Arianda hadn't exactly expected such a reaction from Kokuto, to outright move to punch Ari. However, some part of her did believe it was quite possible. If he was trying to martyr himself for the sake of Ichijou, it made perfect sense he would be pissed. Arianda's eyebrows rose as Kokuto stood up, fists clenched, and aimed a relatively hard right hook for her. However, the demon's gaze simply remained fixed upon him. She raised her left hand and caught his blow; her silver eyes gaining a different gleam. She was tempted to return the blow, to slug him twice as hard for being dumb enough to think he could keep Ichijou from harm by being apart from her; foolish. Instead, as the skin on her hand tore from the force, bleeding briefly as it quickly regenerated, Arianda's grip on his hand increased until it would be quite difficult for Kokuto to extricate his fist from Arianda's grip.
Then, came yelling that did not faze Arianda as she remained leaning against his sword. There was nothing lazy in her gaze as she listened to him; letting Kokuto yell himself hoarse. Really though, it was foolish to think that staying away from Ichijou would help. She'd want to be with him, be in his arms; and that distance harmed her more than anything the world could do to either of them. His attempt was valiant, but cowardly in essence. He ran away from Earth in order to save the woman he loved from ridicule; when he should have stayed and fought said ridicule while keeping Ichijou safe in his arms. However, she didn't utter a single word as her grip increased on his fist. She would not crush his hand, nor harm him. Ichijou was right there; and Ari had no wish to beat the shit out of Kokuto right in front of Ichijou.
"Protect her? So you thought you would protect her by leaving her alone, hm~? No. That's not protection, Kokuto; that's running away. If you mean to protect Ichijou."
Arianda took a step forwards, a shine of the woman she had partially become since Algos invaded Minatumi broke through; an Arianda Vael who was harsh, calculating... Ruthless. Ready to protect what she loved with relentless zeal.
"Then you stay by her side, and be her shield; keep her in your arms!"
Arianda's right hand grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and brought him closer by force; her left hand still holding his fist in a vice grip. His reasons for wanting her safety was understandable; it was sound. He was a demon, and his presence could cause general ridicule. However, his method was still, to Ari, a coward's way out.
"If you wish to protect her, Kokuto; You. Do. Not. LEAVE. HER. SIDE!!!"
Arianda's last words were a yell that echoed across the empty sky. It pissed her off, for him to think that leaving Ichijou would save her. For all he knew, a certain fox could've run around and taken her just because Kokuto had been gone for so long; and he wanted to call that protecting? Rubbish. And Arianda planned to make sure Kokuto understood that as her silver eyes burned holes in Kokuto's own eyes.
"I took her here, Kokuto, because she asked me to; she wanted to find you because she was worried sick. For fuck's sake, any longer and I'm sure Ichi here was going to think you were dead; and perhaps the thought was already crossing her mind. But, no, you hurt her more than anyone ever could have by leaving Ichi for her "protection". That's not protection Kokuto; and you know it."
Arianda let go of Kokuto and pushed him backwards gently. She was not going to strike him like he attempted to strike her; there was no sense unless he needed the message beat into his skull. If that came to pass, she would gladly beat him up and drag him back by his ear like she had promised. If Kokuto continued to think that his absence would be the best thing for Ichijou; then he was the silliest man in the world. After a few moments, Arianda looked towards Ichijou; the steely gaze softening upon looking upon the adorable, and likely worried, woman.
"He'll probably listen to you better than he'll listen to me. Even when he got his Eris Seal, I had to beat him up a bit to listen~"
