50 50. The West

Leo felt weightless. He seemed to have been thrown into the air for quite some time, only after god knows how long did Leo emerge from the darkness. He was high up in the air and free falling.

They got me.

He sighed regretfully. If he had one more slayer like Sabito he could have killed Muzan, alas the moment have passed. Looking down Leo found high rise buildings. It was night time and lamps lit every corner of the place down below.

Where is the hell this? Shouldn't the sun be up right now?

Leo thought for a second and threw that question to the back of his mind. Right now he was getting close to the ground.

Here we go.

Leo gathered his breath on his legs and kicked and braced for impact.

Bang!

Like and artillery shell Leo fell through the roof of a building. Dust and rubble flew everywhere as he landed on the ground, a small pit was formed around him.

Phew!

He felt stifled inside and found it hard to breathe. Taking a second to stabilise himself he let out a sigh of relief and looked arouns. The moment he saw what was happening he was dumbfounded.

Several men stood around him holding guns. All of them wore suits and a long trench coat. Files flew everywhere thanks to his grand entrance. A man who seemed to be their leader stepped forward, he had a pistol in his hand and was smoking a cigar.

"Who are you?"

Leo stared when he heard the man, he wasn't speaking japanese.

F*CK! That's english! Damn that Muzan, how far did he throw me?

Luckily Leo dabbled in business in his past life and knew a dozen or more language which also included english. He cleared his throat and asked.

"Gentlemen, might I ask where this is?"

Though he knew the answer he was hoping these guys would say something different.

"Huh? Are you a retard? This is America, of course."

"F*CK! F*CK!"

Leo cursed out loud. The men thought this guy had some problems. Leo regained his calmness and said.

"Gentlemen, my circumstances are a little peculiar but I assure you I had no intention of barging in like this."

Normally anyone would put holes through your body if you broke their place like that but luckily these men seemed different. The man leading them looked at Leo for a second and said.

"I don't know these circumstances you spoke of but you don't seems to be llying so come up. You look like a mess."

Leo thanked the heavens, he had met reasonable men. He walked out of the pit and apologized again and again. The men however waved it off as nothing. The leader showed Leo to the washroom and told him to get cleaned up.

Taking up their offer Leo cleaned the blood off of him and removed his clothes. After putting on a clean white shirt and black trousers he walked out. When he got out he saw the leader checking his sword carefully.

"Interested in swords?"

The leader didn't reply he looked at Leo and extended his hand.

"My name is Samuel, you can call me Sam."

"Leo."

After the pleasantries were done Sam pointed at Leo's sword and asked.

"Why do you have a sword like that?"

Leo hesitated for a moment and said.

"You won't believe me even if I told you so it's better if we leave that issue."

Sam however was unwilling to let go. He said

"Try me."

With no choice Leo said.

"It's for hunting demons."

Sam had a thoughful look on his face. After a while he asked Leo, "These demons sound a lot like extraordinaries, except being weak to sunlight."

Huh?

Leo was astounded.

"Extraordinaries?"

Sam didn't immediately reply. He asked for a man to bring several papers, he placed it before Leo and said.

"The demons you mentioned, extraordinaries possess powers similar to them. They are fast, strong and have powerful regenerative ability. And all of them possess an extraordinary ability."

"How is this possible?"

Leo couldn't help but mutter. He never expected species similar to demons existed in other places.

He looked at Sam and asked, "What's their origin?"

Sam seemed easy going as he shrugged and said, "The is no clear evidence but researchers say it's the result of mutation."

Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "You are an asian, how the hell did you end up here?"

Leo said, "A demon with an ability to control space threw me inside a space door, I floated around there for some time before getting and out. And here I am."

Sam nodded, "An ability related to space, that's rare. Can you tell me about the situation on your side?"

Leo had no problem with that. Considering the situation he was in it's better to share as much information as possible. This would help him gain trust and hopefully they will help him get back home and not throw him in jail.

"Demons are a group with enhanced speed, strength and regeneration. They have existed for a thousand years. However this species has a an origin, a progenitor, he is called Muzan. Slayer corps had been at war against demons for a millennia...

He explained the situation back home.

"I see."

Sam roughly understood what was happening. He said.

"The men you see here are part of a group called Dark Light. The job of Dark Light is to kill or capture extraordinaries creating trouble, and our job is to provide support, which includes intelligence, cleaning up, weapons, etc."

Leo and Sam exchanged some more information regarding their situation and understood the general situation. Sam lit up a cigar and took a deep puff.

"I never expected there to be demons in this world."

Leo sighed and said.

"Me too. I never thought there was another species similar to demons. By the way, how strong are extraordinaries?"

Sam didn't reply and placed his hand on an iron table. He put some pressure on it. His hand pressed down and created a palm shaped dent on it.

Leo was surprised. He traced the dent and asked.

"You are an extraordinary?"

Sam rolled his eyes, "How else would be stand upto other extraordinaries?"

Leo was slightly embarrassed he asked something like that, "I didn't mean it like that."

Sam smiled, "I am just messing with you. Extraordinary ability can be inherited or awakened. A couple with extraordinary ability has a ninety five percent chance to pass it down to their children. Likewise normal people also have a chance to awaken."

Leo leaned on his chair and rubbed his chin.

"So Dark Light is like the police department for extraordinaries."

Sam nodded.
