❝ I’m. . I’m going to choke you out and kill you if you don’t stop me! ❞

Tears streamed down her cheeks, gritting her fanged teeth and glaring at Jun, deep down she just wanted Jun to stop her and put an end to her pain.

❝ SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP! I can put up with a traitor to our own kind, but not a traitor to Kazumi! ❞

It was clear something was deeply breaking down within the demon. A demon who became sympathetic to Jun’s ways, because of Kazumi.

+

Her fierce eyes returned as she arose to her feet. She knew she had to go all out or Jun will kill her!

She used her wings to swoop towards Jun. Her arm winded back and her clawed fingers straightened, she was looking to pierce Jun straight through her heart!

Sliding down the wall she sat there for a brief moment, catching her breath as she listened to Jun. looking down, her fierce eyes softened as she clutched her stomach.

Kazumi was still in there, she didn’t want to fight, but her demon side was stronger.

+

High into the night sky before dropping Jun and swooping straight down to deliver a powerful kick to Jun’s abdomen.

Sending the two straight down onto the roof of that same building with a harsh crater.

❝ Kazumi loved you, yet you’re the one who got her killed! I won’t let that happen again! ❞

Lunging forward with primal speed, slashing at Jun with her claws. Carving through the flesh of her chest and her abdomen.

Her movements were quick. She grabbed Jun by her wrists, her wings sprouted, flying her outside the building and into the air.

+

Charging in, Kazumi slashed and kicked at the combined demon beast which was able to dodge and evade her quick attacks. She had them on the back foot.

Grabbing them by the ankle and throwing them through the wall of a nearby building.

Walking in slowly, tracking down her prey.

Kazumi’s demon side has made a bit of a reputation

The two would combine into one demon beast, bigger and stronger, though still quite outmatched.

❝ If only your friend was still alive, you’d maybe at least give me a challenge~. ❞

+

A blood thirsty grin came across her lips. Looks like she didn’t have any other choice. She had to get rid of that poison tonight.

Putting on a coat, she’d head out into the cold night. Her heightened scent easily picked up the scent of other devil beasts.

So the hunt begins.

Kazumi couldn’t remember her at all but that meant something! It absolutely meant something, Kazumi knew she had memory problems.

She quickly got up but before she could do anything, she felt her blood run cold. The repressed demon side of her took control then and there.

+

There was something so familiar about her, there was such beauty and grace to her. It was so difficult to turn her down, she didn’t know whether or not she remembered her.

That’s when her eyes widened with a startled gasp.

❝ Wait. . she knew my name. . ! ❞

+

Kazumi was basically a pro at this point, having a good working attitude with others.

Upon returning home Kazumi would get ready for sleep, lying in bed she couldn’t help but think about that strange woman she met earlier that evening.

+

and heading into her apartment. Placing a hand on her chest, she could feel her heart racing.

She wasn’t outright denying Jun because deep down she knew there was something familiar about her. A ghost from her past that she could not escape.
