KIYOSHI NOHARA

What every day ended with was the same walk home, but even so, a fourteen year old boy could find a way to make it fun. Although he had to walk alone, he had things to occupy his mind- for example, his homework, his dinner, and the immortal girl illegally living in his house that his parents still didn't know about.

It was likely foolish of Kiyoshi to believe the wild story the older girl told him- how she'd lived ten centuries more than she appeared, and wanted to die. But he'd found it hard to ignore her, and took her in on a childish whim. Letting someone want to die...It was sad!

Still, his life hadn't changed much. Every day the same scenery passed him...The same buildings and mostly the same people. In a way, he could see how boring that'd be after a millennium. But life was fun to him even if it was monotonous. Especially since there were people, such as one person about to be hit by a car, that he could help out.

Grabbing the stranger's wrist with his free hand, he smiled and pulled them closer to the curb. "Careful, you'll kill yourself like that."

He was minding his own business, walking and listening to music with his somewhat hidden headset below his hoodie when someone pulled him. "The hell.." the words came by reflect as he readied himself for a fight with the hands in the air, giving it a second to sink in he looked at the boy and back behind himself before lowering his hands. He hadn't meant to be rude and he don't want to be but he have to play the hand that life have given him, he made an educated guess that the other boy had saved him as he didn't find any trace that the other boy wanted to fight and locked behind himself was a road a "thank you" was soon followed by a quiet "I guess".



Friends call him by his first name and scared fools call him the demon so he decided to introduce himself in another way since he had yet to place the other guy "Call me Kay" as the letter K. Whatever the other buy was going to do next Ken decided to follow him as he seemed like a nice guy and those are a rare commodity at least in his experience but he wanted to know more about him before deciding. "What do you think about animals" a nice guy must like them though maybe he was biased since his connection to them "they understand me better then humans" he muttered to himself.

Clear confusion wrote itself on the young teen's face- why would someone panic so much from being pulled out of danger? Was this guy in danger a lot? In a way, this was concerning...But at the same time, it was also somehow familiar. Either way it didn't matter, of course. The man was getting more adjusted to what was going on. So, instead of focusing on the negative- that this guy thought Kiyoshi of all people was dangerous- the young boy chose to find relief in the man not getting mad for pulling him from the car's path.

"You should be careful, Kay. Some of the drivers around here can be pretty...well, bad drivers." Laughing a bit, the bright brown eye almost appeared to be smiling like the curvature of his lips, which were more gentle than the excitement the rest of him displayed. Though...He calmed down when asked about animals. "How I feel about animals? That's an unusual question, but..." It actually took thought. Animals? Humans were technically animals too. And it wasn't abnormal for Kiyoshi to stop during his walks to check in on lost pets and a certain girl that looked like an abandoned puppy, either. "I like them. It'd be nice if they were treated better by others though. A lot of animals are abandoned without warning, you know? I feel bad for them..."

"Do you like animals, Mister Kay?"

"I would hurt like hell but after a good night rest it would be all fixed" while getting hit by a car would seriously hurt and wound him his tone exposed that he thought little of such an encounter, his habbit took over as he tried to find fear and weakness, "Don't you know, i am the Demon of Itonami Middle School" Stupid! Stupid! I am trying to make friends., he thought to himself when he realized what he had done because he really didn't want to scare of a potential friend.

His face got warmer and warmer, more bright and gentle, it was a face that he had only showed to animals and Shigure. He really showed his true self which was usually hidden behind bad reputation and the image people had summoned about him. "You should meet my big sister, both of us thinks like you and she is a veterinarian so there are always bound to be animals" he had made another mistake and now he had to warn the other guy even though he believed it to be a third mistake he knew he had to "Uhm, if you do come over ill tell her you are a nice guy and she wont make a hole in the wall with your outline". To some that last part might sound like a warning to back off, to others it might sound like a threat but to a few it might sound like a genuine warning and Ken was sure this is where his potentual friend would bolt away "before you run away, might i ask of your name?", the suspence was killing him

This guy was familiar in attitude- it was a lot like Sachi, and even his words flowed as if trying to say straight out he couldn't die. It was hard to hold back his questions, but Kiyoshi knew it best not to bother him about it. It was best to let someone tell him their problems when they were ready. And besides, Kay had already pointed out a critical issue: they were such strangers that Kiyoshi hadn't introduced himself.

"I'm Nohara Kiyoshi, but a lot of people just call me Kiyo." There was a softness to his smile as he thought over the other boy's words. "If you don't mind my asking...Are you sure you're not just shy? As opposed to being a 'demon', which I hadn't heard about before..." He laughed a bit at himself- he was already getting too personal, and yet he worried about the immortal issue? He was too simple, and he knew it. He was simple and pure like white light- and while he'd already been warned to be careful, he decided to still take this person's words to heart. "But if you really are a demon...I hate to say it, I'm not that impressed. You're not scary enough to be a demon. Don't demons have red faces and long noses like pinocchio?"

Shy, he wasn't shy, was he? why would Nohara think that? Though it was true that he hadn't had much chance showing his own true self to others when he moved here, it was mostly protecting the image other students had manufactured and though he isn't fond of the idea he found he can use it to protect friends with this made up power. Maybe if he got to be himself infront of others like Nohara he would rid himself of the stamp of being shy, if it only was that easy to find good people.

He wasn't a demon, not even a Tengu even with his incredible luck that allowed him to reccover as quick as he can though now that it has come up maybe he actually have some demon blood flowing in his veins, Not that he was religious or wanted to start such a debate but he thought he remembered that some religions and myths have demons which blend in into the human society and then uses trickery or manipulation to tempt others into ruin "What if i where a Tengu who fold my nose and bathe in magic dust to look human, it  would be easier to move about. He he." it was a bad exuse for a joke but then he didn't really try.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize 'Kay' was different. Experience with strange people, perhaps- but definitely not a rocket scientist. "Say, um...Kay-san? You definitely don't seem like a Tengu, but...Is it possible you're immortal? Since you mentioned you heal really fast..."

Yes, Kiyoshi knew that immortals existed- he also knew they tended to hide themselves. Alas, he also was the type to say exactly what he had in mind, hoping it would help others feel at ease around him. Though...That wasn't always how it worked out.

"Well, even if you are, you seem like a young enough guy don't you? I think it'd be better if you smiled more. No one can fear someone that smiles. Besides...Smiling means you're enjoying yourself, and isn't that what life's about?"

Immortal? While such fantasies are fun to think about but in reality there aren't such things, right? He was called a demon at school yet he had never seen one in real life which meant he didn't really believed him, same thing applied to immortals. While he could heal up faster then some humans there are others documented to heal fast but that didn't meant that he or anyone else who healed fast would forever live. "Say, wouldn't an immortal be old? or lived many years? I am only 16 years old and have only lived for 16 years!, he felt defensive, as if someone was calling him names yet he had earlier decided that Kiyo was a nice guy, what would be the logical explanation.



Maybe Kiyo was one of those who thinks fantasies are real and maybe he was referring to vampires, they are immortals right? Having only seen one or two vampire movies he wasn't sure if he had all his facts right but he remembered that they always had teeth sticking out of their mouths and though that if some call him a demon and Kiyo call him an immortal then maybe he looked like a vampire so he stooped walking to immediately start to check his mouth and see if there was some tooth sticking out and then to feel his teeth but they didn't pointed out of his mouth nor did they feel pointy and sharp "What do you mean, Immortal?" he asked confused as he was.

"Well, you did say you were able to heal abnormally fast, right? That the people you fought with would be out a couple days, but you'd be fine the next day...Doesn't that make it sound like you could survive a severe internal injury without dying? So I thought you might be immortal."

Smiling despite being blown off for his idea, Kiyoshi was still happy to talk to the strange older boy. "Well, sixteen is sixteen you know...Maybe it's just because you're young. I'm even younger than you, though, and I can't heal that fast."

"I can agree that healing fast is not normal but may be I am one of those who have a good health and live well but still can die a natural death" while he said that he remembered that he had never seen Shigure unhealty and if she had been wounded from a scared animal then it would heal in real time. Shigure would always make Ken think she used fake magic to make the wound only look as if it healed, like a magican who can find you card in a deck of cadrs, at a young age he would believe in her fake illusions but as he grew older he started to trust in her act and think that it was just false, like the magic card trick.

"It runs in the family, bi.. hrm Shigure, says it is a magic trick though" he was about to say big sister when he corrected himself, she had beaten it in him to call her big sister and not by her name when she was around but since she wasn't he as free to say her name "Now that i think of it though her magic and my reccovery seems to be connected somehow, then again we are family." he said the word family one time to many as he was starting to believe in Kiyo he began to enter a false denial. "Since the word has come up, how are your family?" he wanted to know more of Kiyo before finaly asking to be friend with him but in reality he just wanted to change the subject, how the subconsious works was not for him to figure out.

Kiyoshi could only smile meekly when asked about his own family. "Must be nice having a sister. I'm an only child, and my parents aren't really home much. But I have a friend staying at my house now, so I don't get lonely. For a while it was really hard though. Mom and dad work too much, so when they get home, it's not like they seem home either." He laughed a bit despite himself, waving away any pain with his hand.

"Is it nice having a big sister? I sorta think of my friend as a big sister now. It's a lot more fun now." Though, he could never say that to Sachi in front of her face....Since she'd likely hit him the moment she heard it. Family was a concept she'd long since ignored.

When he heard what Kiyo had to say he instantly responded "Wanna switch", not that he would if he could but some things can be crazy "My sister is the real demon, she will send even the most harded criminal or trained elite force to the hospital with one flip of a finger if they get in her way." obvously he overexaggerated but he still trembeled at the thought "I know from experience, though she did say she didn't mean to hit so hard and then she was creepy super nice" he didn't notice but with the ending of that sentance he had long since stopped trembling and showed the small smile from before.

"At least you have parents, whenever i bring up the question I feel a intent to kill coming from my sister" the more he thought about it the more he fellt that Kiyo's answer was half hearted, well that wasn't the right word now was it? In either case maybe Ken needed to ask the right question "what is it like when they are home AND have time for you?" making sure that he asked correctly, he really wanted to know just so that he could compare it with having Shigure.

"Maybe she was being extra nice because she felt bad that you got hurt? Like she said, she didn't mean to." Kiyoshi smiled with a slight shiver- oh, that kind of thing happened to him before, too. "Sachi's like that too sometimes. She hits me if I try to get her to open up more. But...Then when I get home the next day, she makes dinner....Even though she says she can't cook."

The funny thing to Kiyo was that she /could/ cook. "She's better than my mom. But I guess that's because mom and dad are so tired when they're cooking..."

It was hard to imagine a day where his parents weren't too busy for him, however. Usually, the two adults in the house were doing paperwork if they weren't resting from overdoing it. Ken's question actually left the usually kindly fellow a bit confused.

"I forget...Has there been a day mom and dad had much time at all?"

She was extra nice because she really didn't mean it like Kiyo had said, but she didn't need to be creepy about it. Shigure would smother Ken  when these things happened and hug him very, very light, as if she would break him like glass otherwice. She would also scan him quickly for wounds to see if he was mortal or immortal and thought that Ken wouldn't notice, he always did though he thought that he was scanned for potential damage, to be sent to the hospital.

How he felt with Kiyo resulted in a last shiver through his spine, he thought that since they are so similar besides a few traits here and there, sharing similar household like living with Shugure or Sashi the two could become real good friends and decided to give it a try, with one hand on his neck and another streched out "My name is Ken, Ichiro Ken and my friends call me Ken, I hope you will too".

When he was suddenly given a name different from what 'Kay' had given originally, Kiyoshi was surprised...Wasn't it usually that your nickname was for friends to use, not your proper name? Or was Ken the nickname?

"Ken it is then. Though...I'm confused why you told me Kay first, I'll let it slide. I prefer not to think too much about that stuff." Mostly because it was complicated to a point even the rather open-minded Kiyoshi couldn't comprehend.

"So, do you live with your sister at the vet? I can only imagine it'd be pretty fun. Our house is just a bland usual one...Sorta boring, really."
