When Kou opened her eyes Midora was there, holding out a bento. Surprised, she took the neatly wrapped package from her Sensai and carefully unfolded it. The food smelled delicious and despite what Midora said it looked very appetizing, better then what they had in the lunch room. The only place Kou had ever known was Japan and it was a bit odd being away from her home country. The fact that Midora had prepared bento's made her a bit home sick. Kou's attention was drawn back to her Sensai when he said he wanted to tell Kou about her history, she really knew nothing about herself, only that she was a demon and her sole purpose in life up until now had been destruction.
"Kou, you aren't just any ordinary demon. In fact, you're actually a high-class being, though I don't think there are a lot of people like you in this world. You're what they called in ancient times a Heavenly Fiend." Kou looked up from the food and placed the bento aside, this was important information and she would absorb as much of it as she could. "To tell you the truth, Heavenly Fiends are holy beings, not really demons, but because in this world they're still able to be controlled by Mages; they classified them as demons and give them that name. They aren't beings that were born in this world, I believe that they come from another dimension. But when they are reincarnated into this world, all of the memories from their past lives are lost, which explains why you think that you just simply appeared onto earth. I was surprised when I found out that you're a Heavenly Fiend, since there aren't many of them left now." An endangered species, how many of them were there?
Hachiman knew and he never told her, that was just like him to take advantage of her and hold back information! It was like that suicide mission all over again... Kou's hands balled into fists, she would never forgive that Deity for what he had done to her! What Midora said was completely accurate, Kou had gone to sleep and woken up in the middle of mass destruction after exhausting days. The man she had loved.... After rousing from a fit he had tried to kill her so Kou had killed him.
"I know how you feel, because I'm like you too. I'm a Dark Mage, so I will also lose my sanity if I'm angered. Back then, I destroyed my hometown when I was enraged for that reason too. So don't worry about it if you think you're different, because there are people who can be even more destructive when they're angry." She knew that, Kou had fought alongside some of the most powerful demons in history, she had watched and back stabbed her comrades based on orders and controlling Mages. Her whole life Kou had been controlled, her will was never her own.
"Remember, no one can take away your freedom unless you allow them to." She looked up at her Sensai then, heeding his words. That's right, Akiko had said she had no intention of stealing Kou's control from her. She was finally, truly, free.
"Thank you Midora-Sensai," Her nails dug into the palms of her hands, she was enraged by the fact that she had gone her whole life not knowing what, or who she truly was. Kou vowed that she would never let someone manipulate her like that ever again. "I don't expect you to clean up my messes, my mistakes are my own."
