Sakagami Kenzo
No.
A chilled shiver ran down Kenzo’s body. He didn’t want this. He didn’t wish for any of this. He had just wanted to connect with her, to talk to someone. But just as he was about to reach her, she slipped away just like everyone else. No matter what commandment he’d use, he could not in the end form a bond. Not even with her.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
The oni’s voice was shaking, his eyes began to water. It was much like a child who had just been yelled at by his mother for a reason he did not understand. He begged, but it was already too late.
« I… I didn’t…I just…I’ll do anything…I’ll…”
And suddenly, something in his eyes snapped. Deep down, he knew the truth, he always had. Sakagami Kenzo was a strange being, one who was many things. But he was not stupid. Deep down, he had always known the truth, he had only chosen to be blind to it, to ignore it and walk away.
What Alpha had said and done was far from extreme, but it was the culminations of years after years of suffering. The straw that broke the camel's back.
He knew that look fully well. The look that Alpha gave him, the same that Oka gave him, the only look anyone ever gave him. He was quite familiar with those eyes. Fear, disgust, hate, annoyance, impatience, dislike, anger… he knew those all too well. He could see through their excuses and petty lies, through their disgusting deceit.
Humans were such ugly, petty, deceitful creatures...
He had simply chosen to smile and shrug it off to make the pain go away. He knew that, and he knew that nothing would change. Seasons change, tastes change, but people… people never change. He wouldn’t change, because Kenzo was Kenzo and humans were humans. The two were mutually exclusive.
One could only be what one was; therefore the fact that Kenzo could never be human was only logical. But deep down, he had hoped that somehow, anyhow, things would change. That at least someone, ANYONE would accept him.
That was why he had endured this humiliation all this time, of living all alone in an universe where he wasn’t even alive. The demon giggled like it was a funny joke, but his heart was only bleeding. That is, if a wretch like him had a heart to begin with.
Alpha the Bloodedge
What's wrong with this guy?
He had come on pretty strong, but fell apart into an emotional nightmare as soon as he was even lightly pressed. Even now he'd stuttered a bit wildly at her and then made a super hard face. Alpha couldn't help but think she'd accidentally crushed a nerd's efforts at upping his self-esteem.
Well, those were his problems. Without a word, Alpha started to leave.
"Hey you!" The bartender shouted after her. "You haven't paid for your drinks!"
Alpha froze and looked back at the bartender, who had pulled out a steak knife. Meanwhile a lot of the patrons had also risen from their seats as well, cracking knuckles, chanting somberly or pulling out folded japanese steel.
A specifically large man with a bald head walked up to her.
"You and yer friend here..." He said with a heavy accent. "Y'all got no idea who owns this here place, do you?"
Alpha registered it in an instant. "You and yer friend." And an instant was all it took for her to take action.
"Nope!" She immediately kicked the man with the full force of a counter hit standing kick, ramming him into the wall, and grabbed Kenzo. "We're leaving!"
She pulled on him and started running before the rest of the patrons could pile in on her.
A certain patron, a man who hadn't risen, sat in the corner and wore a dark expression, noticed she was smiling, and coughed out a laugh.
