In the morning.
someone had succeed to throw a bait into the ocean, Zashi was sitting on the lacy chair by himself in fisherman outfit and the result for his catches was not disappointing, deliver it to Mr.
Yosa market watching someone else is already take his spot as a butcher.
He get back to his house and get himself some cold shower, in his mind he try to replay every single good memories he had with Yukio.
But each of that memories seems to leaving his mind as he can’t even recall how long the time has passed from their previous meeting with her.
He put some basic dark kimono and decided to go for walk around the village.
During the sunny day, Zashi take a slow walk unbother to look over anything else beside his path, he narrow his weary eyes down, feeling like a living corpse for a moment.
His path eventually lead him to walk on usual small tunnel under the bridge.
He stop after hear a woman screaming from the end of tunnel he rushing through and see there’s a a big red hybrid was harassing some girl with silver hair, the same girl that came to store last night.
“Where you going little miss?, I can help you to get there if you stop screaming.”
The woman begging for her own safety
“Please, please leave me alone I was just want to cameback home.”
“Your home?, how far is it?” The hybrid ask with his razor sharp teeth.
“Let me take your hand and maybe we can stopping by on the park or maybe at hospital, since there’s alot of blood that I can easily drink.”
The Hybrid begin reach the woman with his large palm and out of nowhere Zashi shouting out to prevent the monster to reach futher.
“Hey!!, she said she don’t want to, so stop bothering her.”
The hybrid smirk, find himself a challange.
“Huh?, and who the hell are you suppose to be?, her boyfriend?”
Zashi tilt his head up, standing with confidence.
“No, but I am someone that knows how to mind his own bussniess and try not to disturb somebody life, and I guess you still not learn any lesson about it yet, like seriously how ugly the world needs to make you to understand a word ‘No’?”
The hybrid clench his fist together.
“How dare you speak to me like that you punny human!”
“Oh who said i was a human.”
And with that Zashi immediately lunch his punch that strong enough to send the red hybrid to the air making the woman’s jaw drop
“How , how you do that?”
Zashi get closer to her, giving his warning.
“Listen I need you to get out from here as soon as possible, okay?, all I know this place is going to get bloody, as soon as that guy gets up, so run as fast as you can
The hybrid shift his body to get up and try to charge at him and lay a punch, just for Zashi to block them two with both of his swords, unmoved.
“Huh why I can’t even move this guy?”
“Go” Zashi repeat himself softly
The woman nod giving him so space to finish the job, He push the hybrid futher.
“Now that we get the flower away, is time to finsih you up”
He hit the same classic attack that he did when fighting the skyscraper monster, spinning himself like a circular saw while charging at the hybrid, completely split his body in half, the blood spraying everywhere covering Zashi whole kimono cardigan wet.
He slowly turn around ready to live but something shocking caught his eyes to see the silver haired woman still around that area and just watching him in his devil form, after all the blood that spray in the air stop.
The woman make her ways to get closer to him.
Zashi raised his hand toward her, prevent her to get closer.
“Don’t came any closer, I’m a devil hybrid as you can see, and I might hurt you
The silver haired woman keep moving foward, unbother to get her hills stepping over the pile of blood.
The situation getting intense after the woman show no facial expression as she approch and eventually she spoke with the most soothing tone.
“But you don’t seems look like a devil to me.”
Zashi gasp, confuse by her comment.
“What do you mean, I litterly a devil hybrid, like you can tell by the wings and my pointy tail.”
The silver haired woman give her gentle smile.
Zashi glance up on top of his head to see her point, the woman doesn’t scare to asking more question.
“What it’s your name, if you don’t mind me asking?”
Zashi clean his throats before answer.
“Zashi, my name is Zashi”
The woman step even closer, lingerie over his physique.
“Can I touch your arm?”
Zashi shake his head with confusion, but he doesn’t seems to reject her request.
“Yeah s-sure.”
He raise his arm over her to touch, the woman strangely will caressing his arm thoroughly mostly on his palm,
Her soft touch unintentionally fades away his devil features.
“I was thinking uh…, maybe…, we can go out a date sometimes?
Zashi flabbergasted by her sudden request.
“A-a date?”
She chuckles softly.
“Yes if you want to, I just…, have nothing to do in my weekend and I think is really nice if maybe I get to know someone new since I just move around here.”
Zashi eyes was mesmerized to see her purple eyes, and her outstanding beauty, cast by the light from behind, making him zoning out for a moment.
” But yeah of course this might be a bit too much for you, I, I guess I see you around.”
Just before the woman was about to walk her way, Zashi hold her with his almost sounds like desperate tone.
“Wait, are sure about this?, I mean, I just a random guy from the village, but you…,you seem like successful woman with a good career, and…”
The womam chuckle again, but this time perhaps a bit louder “Well that doesn’t really matter to me, I just want to get to know you Zashi, you seems like a nice guy, and that it’s all matter to me.”
She give her sincier smile that make it difficult for Zashi to say no to.
“What do you say we meet at this spot again tomorrow?, and maybe we can go to the city and maybe go to some café…”
“Café…” He mumur softly “That sounds perfect, I see you tomorrow then?”
She give her gentle nod and proceed to walk away from the area, she stop hearing his shout from behind.
“Wait!, Before you leave can I know your name?
The woman smile widely, expecting he will address the question sooner.
“My name is…Moon, just…
Moon.”
There’s a long pause between both of them, the moment of that day feels like beautiful coincidence to start another new chapter despite they’re still organs and blood all over the place that came dead hybrid lay down in the ground.
After getting a wonderful proposal from beautiful stranger, the world start getting brighter for Zashi once again.
He spent the rest of day, smiling, exciting, thinking about his upcoming date.
On the next morning right on 9 AM, he immediately gets up from his bed and get ready to face the day he was waiting for, he takes some shower, and put some white shirt and leather jacket.
But he change his mind after spent less than a second, watching himself on the mirror.
He decide to toss the jacket away and wear something more proper for a date.
He replace it with some button up jacket, with soft khaki color with black stylish shirt underneath.
Few minutes later he arrive to that place and see Moon is already wait for him, shouting his name frok the distance.
Zashi stunt for a moment to see the outfit she wearing, it was long sleeve white ruched cup tie front crop top with black dress underneath.
Zashi’s jaw drop to see Moon apporching her elegantly.
“Moon you look so amazing…”
Moon smiled try her best to hiding her red cheek.
“Thank you, you look pretty handsome for yourself Zashi.”
“Shall we go now?.”
She stare at him waiting for his confirmation, his smile alone can’t be more obvious that he was more than ready.
“They both arrived to the city that was unfamiliar to Zashi, It has plenty of beautiful places ad the corners compared to the places he used to visit with Yukio.
Zashi eyes roaming around at every structure and new faces that he has to put his trust on them
“This city looks really beautiful, I almaot imagine how crazy the café that we are going it’s going to be, so where exactly is this café?
Moon glance at him from the back, intrigued the way Zashi were stunt by the look of the city.
“it’s not too far away from here, and is actually one of my favourite café thay everyone must visit!, they have alot of dessert menu, and variety of coffee, but if you prefer to eat something else then I guess i can get along with it,”
Zashi immediately reject her other offer.” No café seems fine, beside I am not that hungry, I just want to have some good breakfast.”
Moon slowly recognizing some path as they walk.
“Oh it’s over here, is getting closer, come on.”
Once they taking a shortcut and arrive to the café, Zashi can’t take his eyes over how beautiful the interior and he knows he can’t waste it all on the surface without explore from inside.
He was more than shock to see how grand the place look, the theme choice that they choose and cute lush leaf everywhere.
“Let’s get to the second floor on balcony section, that place was even more fun to join our appetite and we get to see a beautiful sight of the city as well.” Moon suggest softly, alright make her way to the staircase
Meanwhile two of them was sitting on coffee table on the balcony nmnexr to outside environment of the city.
The waiter came shortly after and serve their orders gently
Zashi seems curios with his own order, a cheese cake was just sitting there being observed by Zashi
On the other hand Moon was having three croissant on her plate.
“So I’m what..
What this bread called again, I never see this one before?
It has very intresting shape.”
Moon lightly take the piece of it with her fingers
“It’s a famous french food, called ‘croissant’ I just like how sweet it taste and delightful when it plays on your mouth here have a taste.”
Moon lean the piece closer to him, with no shane Zashi lean his head foward and take a bite from her fingers.
“Mhm, it taste, not bad actually…, on god, this might my new favorite food to eat.
Moon find the way he eat his first croissant to be mindly amusement to her, she put both of her elbows on to table to support her chin rested on her palms.
“You know I used to make this a couple years ago, if you get any time maybe you can came over my home and tatse my homemade croissant
“Really?…” Zashi look at her with one rising eyebrow.
Moon cover her laughter with her hands.
“Yes, why you looking at me like that?”
Zashi shake his head to tone down his suspicious
“Sorry…, that was a nice offer Moon, but, I think it was too earlier for us to even come to that level yet.
“What level?.”she ask playfully” I mean uhhh, you know, like going over to your house, kinda stuff, and chilling on the cotion and having a movie night together
Moon continue the list with freaky suggestions.
“And cuddling and do some hook up and all that right?

“W-What?!” He shouted in shock.
Moon laughed at the flush on his face.
“No Zashi, I was just kidding, sorry if I sounds like I’m planning ahead of our future like we some kind committed couple or anything.”
