Snippet #2327060

Naota found the demon he was looking for and raised his axe behind his head, read to let it sail through the air and hit his target as it always did, but he heard gun firing in the back ground and his hand all of a sudden slumped. The axe hit bounced off the wall, missing the demon that crawled into the shadows, and fired back at him. Naota, luckily, jumped back out of surprise, the axe only landed a few inches away from his feet. He already knew at that moment who was firing the gun. No regular human would be firing a gun like a mad man, so he grumbled, picked up his axe, and walked out of the alley and back into the bright city sun. He turned his head towards Devan and said, "Oi, you interrupted my aim. Thank you very much for that." He sighed tiredly.

Sheena, once reaching the bottom of the stairs of the tall building in the alley, looked around and saw that she hadn't seen a single sign of the exorcist, "Hmm? Where'd the child go..." She wondered aloud to herself. Within a mere split second, she saw something leap past her eyes that was black and shadowy. Without thinking, she raised her hand to grab her partner's attention, and ran off, chasing the other demon that wasn't of her kind, 'What's one of those doing in this area...' She thought to herself with a frown.

Haruka was just about to take a nap in his own little section in the alley until he heard the firing of a gun and leapt up from his sleeping position and searched the area, mostly the dark alley of his, but his eyes also found the two exorcists in the broad day light, "There are two of them?" He growled, growing more hatred the more he looked. But before he could even try and go after the two, he saw a hand motion in the corner of his eye, and turned towards the demon Sheena was hunting, "This is the second one this week...They're growing." He muttered to himself with disgust as he jumped from the building and joined the hunt.

Naota turned to his side and saw a pile of dust crumbling next to him, "I'm guessing that's another demon." He said without drawing his eyes, "You're really that certain that a simple demon like that had to be killed? You couldn't spare a life?" He asked, then looking at Devan a bit seriously. He never took too much of a liking to people who killed either one of both demons unless it was necessary. He tried to avoid it at all costs.

Behind him, a loud explosion occurred. Naota turned around and saw a car catch on fire, and then seemed to have burst from the fuel. Humans only saw the fire and flames in the air, nothing more, but as an exorcists, he saw three demons now, two looking like regular ones he'd never go after, and the one that he was interrupted in killing, "Hey, kid," He looked back at Devan, "That one." He pointed at the leaping shadow aside from the other two, "Only that one, got it? Who ever gets the kill first wins." He smirked before dashing off for the one demon he had his eyes one, and the only demon he had his eyes on.
