6 Return.

In the middle of a massive forest that now had the scent of death littered all over it, a young man could be seen sitting on the body of a massive creature that looked like a fusion between a tiger and a lion. He was injured from the battle but it wasn't anything serious enough for him to be worried about. The blood of the creature was all over his body but he just sat there, making something with the fangs of the beast while thinking about his next move. Since this beast was the last one in the entire forest, it meant that it was time for him to leave. Over the past few months, he had grown accustomed to living such a secluded life so going back into civilization right now would be difficult.

'Sigh, thinking about this wouldn't make it any easier. I've already completed my task so now all I have to do is find the house of Emi Akezawa. After that, I expect her to probably send me to school with Baki. During that time, I could train in Shinshinkai Karate, Aiki, and Chinese Kenpo while honing my original arts. In a few years when Sparda awakens, then I will put my other plan into motion.'

After several more minutes of thought, Akira finally got up as he finished the necklace he was crafting from the fangs of the beast. The necklace signified the completion of his task so he wore it triumphantly as he started eating the beast. Akira wanted to leave the forest as soon as he was done eating so it wasn't long until the massive beast was completely devoured by the young boy. He then went back to his hideout and put on some of the army clothing which he got from the bodies of the dead soldiers. Of course, he had resized it to fit his own smaller body. As he was putting on his combat pants, he realized his tail would probably raise eyebrows in actual civilization so he just cut it off with a simple knife-handed strike. It wasn't useful at this point in time and he was sure that he would be able to regrow it sometime in the future so it didn't matter. Before he left, Akira took one last look at the hideout that he had gotten accustomed to overtime and left in a blur heading towards the big city of Tokyo under the light of the setting sun.

[A few hours later]

High rise buildings, massive skyscrapers, bustling streets, and filled sidewalks. This was the magnificent city of Tokyo. The sounds of people talking in a multitude of languages, the loud music of the nightclubs, the people tacitly avoiding the yakuza on the streets, all of these norms were things that made Akira feel like he was at home again. As he walked along the streets and took in the sights, people avoided him as he looked like a common beggar that had managed to probably steal someone's old army uniform. Akira of course, noticed this but it didn't matter much to him as that meant his view of the city wouldn't be obstructed at all.

But even though he was enjoying being back in such a familiar city, he kept his ears open for any mention of Emi Akezawa. She was a powerful businesswoman that no doubt had an enormous amount of fame and he was sure that she would be the subject of envy or admiration from other women. After thirty minutes went by, just as he expected, two schoolgirls who were walking home from a trip to the mall were talking about her.

"Miss Emi is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen! Ahhhh! I wish I could be as beautiful as her!"

"Sigh, Yuki, stop it. You know you'll never be as beautiful as the goddess Emi. Only I would be able to stand on the same level as her."

The two girls were laughing and arguing about each other's "beauty", earning questioning glances from strangers on the street. Akira quickly appeared in front of them, stopping the two girls in their tracks. The girls were startled and one of them was going to shout at him to get out of their way when the one known as Yuki stopped her from doing so. She then looked at Akira and said curiously, "Little boy, what do you want? Are you lost?" Akira just responded nonchalantly, "Can you tell me where Emi Akezawa lives? I need to go home."

The two of the girls were immediately shocked by his words. The one who was stopped before was going to shout at him once again but Yuki stopped her and put her hands on his shoulders saying, "Miss Emi lives in a big mansion east of..." Yuki willingly told him where it was as her friend stood there flabbergasted, wondering why Yuki suddenly became so nice. "Thank you." Akira left the two girls there and started to follow the directions the girl gave him. Yuki's' friend looked at her and noticed that her cheeks were red for some reason.

"Yuki, what just happened?! It looked like you were in some kind of trance!"

"Akeno...didnt you feel it? When I looked at him it felt like I was looking at a wild man that would devour me if I didn't answer him. It felt so...good..."

"Yuki, he was younger than us...he couldn't "

[Several minutes later]

Akira walked up to a large gate that had a massive mansion inside of it. There were multiple armed guards and servants, all doing their jobs on the outside of the mansion. One of the guards saw him and stopped him immediately with his rifle pointed at his head, shouting, "State your purpose!" Akira, knowing that Emi wouldn't forget to tell her guards about him in fear of failing Yujiro responded calmly, "I'm Akira. Miss Emi is expecting me." Sweat dripped down the guard's face as he put down his weapon and bowed sincerely.

"My apologies. Welcome home, Young master Akira, Son Of The Ogre."
