One of the car stop at the dangerous zone near the building that already invaded by outgrown dark red root growing around it.
All the agents came out from their car together and observe the destruction
Theres four agents that came out with different sense of style that tells alot about each of their personalities
Killa the tall lady with black middle part pixie cut dress in combat suit and piercing red eyes standing with serious facade.
Zein Fei The leader of the team, with pastel purple hair with a sfaff
And two rookies who try to fit in scary environments.
Zein step futher take a good look of the building before turn back to face the rest of the member.
“As the leader of this team, I will say I’m really honor to leading on my first mission, I’ve been waited for four months to keep myself stay alive to be putting into this position and I just want to let you guys know, I wouldn’t let any of you down and I will do everything with my power to become the best leader that you wish to have.”
While Zein was busy giving his speech one of the female member saw bunch of monster start to ambush them from behind and running toward them
She try to warn them but Zein is being too loud, unable to hear a single word came from her
And all of sudden Killa immediately draw her sword, and make a clean slash and attack from behind kill all the root monster with one powerful slice making the rest of the members paused for a moment.
And eventually Zein continue
So as I’m saying, I’m gladly to become your leader and I glad Killa already know what she’s doing without my command.
On the grocery store not too far block away from danger zone, the owner was zoning out waiting for time past by for closing unexpected for customer to came.
Suddenly he saw car light came toward hid store and a woman with silver hair with bright purple eyes give her soft smile
The owner doesn’t say anything and let her shop for a moment, the area was quite and cold.
The window was cover with mist by air conditioner, the light buzzing around lighting up the qoods on the shelves
The woman came back with pasta and some other ingredients, the owner try to make a small talk through her purchases.
“Making a late night snack i see?”
The Silver hair woman laugh softly.
“Yeah, I was really hungry after a late night shift for tonight, my stomach can’t stop rumbling when I was in the car and I see you the only grocery store that available on this hour.”
The guy scanning all the product prizes but he can sense something it’s not quit right about her
“You seems like a hardworking woman , that live by yourself and I’m surprised that girl like you will be taking a night shift consider…, you heard the rumours about monster roaming around the city right?”
The woman looking at him with curiosity.
“A monster?, ah yes I think i heard about them, that’s why I’m planning to move out to somewhere safe.”
The owner smile widely, part of him feel a strange relief he have for a stranger.
“Ohhh, you already moving?, that’s good you seems to make a better life decision than me, please come again.”
Moon pulling out her first purse ready to cash on
“How much?.”
The owner shake his head, decide to show his generosity
“It’s.., free, just promise me that you never show your pretty face in this city again, this place is too dangerous for you, just move and start a new life with the groceries .”
Moon kindly take her stuff and look back from her shoulder, almost forget to show her gratitude.
“Thanks.”
As the night goes on, Zashi seems to trap to be in another of his dream, a nightmare from his past gathers together into straight hallway, covered by doors that hold a suprise from inside.
Zashi open the first door and there’s already the most gruesome noises play on the room, he refuse to knowledge to see the figure, that appear to look like him, torturing other hybrid by choking them with his sword agaisnt the wall.
He lean to another door, with each of them share the level of darkness and violence that he has committed.
He keep hsi eyes narrowing down, close his mind from any thoughts that he hear, the screaming, the crying,
Before he get to the last door, someone hold on his feet begging for help.
Hus word cut off after the edge of the sword pierce through the man’s face and soon the blade is being pull over by the killer.
Zashi watch the figure infront of him, sheathing his sword, his breath hitched to see himself looking at him like a stranger.
“Leave, unless you don’t want me to spare your life.”
[Transition to present day]
Zashi was zoning out while meeting with manga executive.
“What?, what the hell is this?
Thus is nothing that you send me from 2 months ago?”
Zashi respond with lazy tone.
“I already told you, it was my new manga that I’m working on.”
“What you call this a new, what happens to your old manga ‘One Shot’?, did you just eat the whole paper or something an coming up with this garbage instead?” The Manga executive show his great dispise ignores Zashi’s improvements on his drawing.
But Zashi maintain his nonchalant attitude
“I think it looks good and you seems to overreact”
Manga clench his fist together.
“Overreact?
, let me tell you something Zashi, I don’t know what makes you think that your new project is good enough for you, to pour all your heart into, especially to something like this, I want to see gore I want see violence and you use to good at it, and look what you did now, you making family friendly action scene with boring main character talking about all he ever wanted is to live a place that he can called home.”
The words coming from his mouth was biting Zashi heart mercilessly, and he try his best to appear calm
“If you refuse to working on with your old real manga, the deal is off Zashi, you hear me?!”
The Manga Executive give his final offer and end the meeting
Meanwhile somewhere on lively street there’s a girl waking among with her friends with stylish outfit share their thoughts and giggle together and the person who’s walking on the middle appear tk be Yukio dressing in more fashionable sense.
She keep follow her friends and been through many intresting places in the city, until the sun comes down sinner than they realize.
Just after all of them say thier goodbyes leaving Yukio behind, her smile slowly fade away, revealing her real emotions from inside,
She begin to take a down hill path to coming back home, on her way back she surrounded herself with daisy field that oddly bright despite the sunset are almost dissappear from horizon
Yukio made it’s way to get into train, she searching a perfect spot for her to sir and watch a sunset with earphone on,
Because she can put her earphone on she shock to hear fimliar voice calling for her.
“Oh hey Yukio, it’s been awhile ”
Zashi sitting tiredly, lean his face agasint the metal phone.
“ZASHI?!!, what are you doing here?!”
Zashi explain with almost no spirit left in him.
“i was just on my way to publish my manga that I’ve been working for almost six months by now, I did leave you a message asking about it, but you never answer, so I take my own initiative and it was a bad decision, at least I know, my idiot brain can’t make any smart decision without you, anyway, sorry…, that you have to see me unconvenience like this, I don’t want your mom to find us like this.
”
He gets up from his seat, ready to leave from her sight,
Yukio hold his hand, knowingly it was enough to stop him.
” Stay ”
With one word lashing out from Yukio’s mouth
Zashi begin sitting next to her and lay his head agaisnt her shoulder, letting the time past for a moment.
“So how’s you manga, did it get publish?”
“No they said it wasn’t good enough, they want my old manga, saying it’s better and stuff.” He respond with sadness, clearly from something else beside his manga
“Which one?, about the short story of two couple can’t stop kissing each other?” she ask gently.
“No there’s another manga that I made was straight up full with action, that I never show it to you, and I probably never will, because I’ve been stuck on the same chapter since forever.”
Yukio doesn’t respond to his renting, suspecting his going to ask something more personal.
“Where were you Yukio?, why you leave me like this?
”
Yukio let out a sighs, not a honest one.
“I have no choice Zashi, I never waa, my life has turn to be miserable, I lost my ambitious, my passion to become a chef, and…, all I do is just study and make my mom proud, since she’s the only person that I’m allow to make her feel that way.
“Interesting.” He said bitterly.
Yukio glance over Zashi with guilt.
“Zashi why you never try searching for me?, try to find me.?”
“And then what?, get your mom mad at me again?, and you for loving this devil hybrid.” Yukio was stunt for a moment with his obvious point
“Yeah you right, I supposed that idea was quiet silly.., I didn’t wish this happened to us, I never did, but I’m glad that we both grown up now, we became stronger, and can handle whatever the world stump at us”
Zashu slowly raise his tone, sensing the unfairness from her point of view.
“Is this what you think of me, about us right now?, are you saying you’re moving on from me?…”
“Zashi…, I, I wish you hold me and didn’t let me go from that day, when my mom take me away from you, I wish you would fight for me.., stop me, do everything it takes to have me.”
“What you expect me to do Yukio?, she, she was your mother, I’m just a stranger that you only know for months, I don’t know any better, I don’t know how I can stop the world for taking you from me, but there is a chance.”
Zashi hold his breath squeeze her hand before continue.
“To get back to you again, I will try my hardest to not letting go of you, but I’m afraid to hear what you gonna say next is…, between you and me is far from over.”
Yukio smile fading away after hearing his harsh truth that came from him.
“I’m sorry Zashi, I’m afraid it was true too, but the bright side is, you always can find someone new…
”
Zashi letting out his mocking chuckle.
“Something new?
What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It’s up to you to figure it out Zashi, you always have a choice in your life, that freedom to make your own reality, and it might be painful to see you with somebody else, when I see you again, but at least is the best for us”,
Yukio pause dramatically.
“No…, for you.”
Alot of tears start has flowing over Yukio cheeks and Zashi seems to unbother to wipe her tear, knowing that’s no longer a role for him to take it.
When the train finally stop, Yukio immediately standing up, try her best to get rid all her tears off before say her farewell.
“I’m, sorry Zashu, I’m really sorry, I wish you an absolute best, finding a new partner, finding your home…”
Yukio glance over him for the last time, before made her exit
“Goodbye Zashi, I hope you have a happy life without me.”
…
The train doors shut close, letting no one to interrupt the already heartbreaking moment to settle in.
Zashi were still laying on the train seat, not knowing where the next train destination is, not knowing where to go.
Letting the train take him wherever it wants to go, as long as he can stare over the sunset phasing through his eyes.
