5 Ch.5: To Walk On Air.

"Too...much.."

Kazemi slumped onto the hotel floor. It was 9 at night and he just now got back from shopping with Tory. She brought basically infinite clothes and Kazemi had to carry them all.

"How many fucking clothes do you need woman?! You only wear one outfit!"

He pointed at her wardrobe which was filled with red dresses. Tory giggled at that while sitting down on her bed.

"Its not about the clothes, Kazemi. It's the journey that me and you had together that matters.."

"The journey?! Smh.."

He couldn't get angry as he did have fun. 'It was actually fun though. I never went on a date before with anyone like that. We ate, went to the movies, the beach as well.. She made me experience all sorts of new things..'

He sighed while rolling onto his back. 'You know, I don't know if I'm lucky but I happened to over hear that a certain black auction is gonna happen tonight..' Apparently, they capture and sell people with Sigils.

'I need to go... I'll touch someone with a good Sigil...' He put his hands on the floor near his head and jumped up. 'This body... I can actually train with this body..'

In his other life, he had a weak body due to an illness. While he has a weak body, he can endure a lot. He has survived a gun shot to the arm before and had it heal on it's own without medicine and such.

"Hey, I'm going out for tonight and back home. I.. I have to let my mom know that I'm fine.."

He put his hood on while looking at her. She was 'Mmmm-ing' at him and it was getting louder and louder. 'Sorry lady. I may not be able to get another chance like this. I'm already lucky to have over heard this..'

Being able to turn invisible has a lot of perks.

"Okay... But come back first thing in the morning! I want to explore your power more! And remember, don't tell anyone about D-Game. Only those chosen by the snake are able to play or know about it.."

She waged her finger at him with one hand on her hip. Telling someone not chosen by 'Darwin' about D-Game was considered treason. A laser would come from the sky and penetrate your skull if you do.

"Yeah, yeah. Bye, Tory. You have nice legs."

He left, leaving her to become even more embarrassed. 'Jeez... It's only my legs... Don't I look cute..?' She sighed while opening up her bags. 'He may only think about my legs, but atleast he could buy me something like this..'

She held up a golden necklace that had a ruby attached to it. 'I'll cherish it..' She put it on and held it. It costed him all of his money to buy that. His thanks for letting him sleep in her home and even teaching him D-Game currency.

Kazemi was running down the street while being invisible. 'All Sigils have weaknesses. Tory was kind enough to tell me hers. It was the fact that she sweats a lot after she uses her chains. Weaknesses...are subjective..'

'With my power though, I have a weakness of only being able to copy 4 things a day. I've already copied 3 things, that being Tory's bond between her chains and self, the invisible power and the heat sensing power. Though I have a bigger advantage over anyone and that's the fact that I don't have weaknesses with copied powers, meaning I can use them without a drawback. The invisible power required a sacrifice to work before I had it. The heat sensing required you to fart 10 times a day... It's really odd..'

He kept checking the maps, trying to get to the HighZo district, the dark part of town. It's where gangbags and turf wars happen. 'Ah, its here..' He stopped at a dark alley and looked down it.

"Fucking hell. My ass gonna get jumped.."

He sniffed while shaking his head. He then started walking down the alley, picking up a crowbar that was inside a tire. With his invisibility power, he can also turn things he touches invisible.

He soon got to a metal door. 'And now, I wait..' He sat down and waited for someone to come. After about 3 hours, someone finally came. 'Yeah, if I don't get something good... I might off myself..'

The person in a black suit and mask to match knocked normally. A slab of small steel then went in on itself to reveal a pair of eyes.

"Number."

Was what the eyes said.

"Y."

Is what the masked man said. The eyes then nodded and opened the door. 'What? That's... That's it?! Nah, man... I did not just sit here for 3 hours just to hear a letter for the password. A world...we live in..'

Kazemi followed the man closely as he walked through. The inside was lit up to reveal a stage that was at the bottom of the long stairs. Just imagine going to a play and that's what this looks like.

'And now I sit in the corner..'

He went to the left and down the row of seats. He sat in the corner seat and waited for the show to start. 'I'll bid a billion dollars for whatever interest me, see the merchandise, touch the merchandise, and get their Sigil.'

After an hour or so, the place was full of people in black with mask to match. Some where big figures while others were normal looking. 'I'm gonna skip over the boring stuff like introduction and that..'

Fast forward to the announcer pulling down a curtain to reveal a homeless looking man. He was buck naked, reavling something that squids like to eat.

"His Sigil is called, [Enhanced Smell]. He can smell anything up to 100 meters away. Very useful in hunting. The starting bid is 100k yen."

"100k."

"250k."

"1 million."

'Man, what the hell? These old ass men probably think he can sniff out virgins or something. With a power like that, he ain't worth anything over 5k.'

He shook his head while sighing. The homeless man was eventually bought for 1.2 million, leading Kazemi to chuckle. 'Let's see what other useless powers people have..'

"[Levitation]."

"[Acid Breathe]."

"[TV Remote]."

"[Air Walk]."

He went on to say more powers but only one interested Kazemi. 'Bluffing a billion dollars on Air Walk. Better than the rest atleast..' After the auction ended, Kazemi got up to go claim his prize.

He went behind stage and met up with the man that brought the Sigil in. He was fat and short and seemed like an iconic character with his black suit and monocle.

"Hm... This Sigil is quite lovely, no?"

He spoke with a British accent. 'Why yeees...' Kazemi rubbed his hands together while laughing at his own jokes.

"Yeah, it is. May I...see the holder of said Sigil once again. Sitting in the back row made it hard for me to see the holder.."

"Why, yeeees.."

He laughed while pulling the curtain down. What was revealed next was an anorexic person with short blue hair and in chains, buck naked as well. 'Damn, shes..hes...shes....hes...shes..hot? Is that a dude? Good looking dude. Too bad your in a cage..'

"His name is, Hirito. A male stripper who went in debt. He then became a prostitute, but realized that it wouldn't be enough so he sold himself. Lovely, no?"

He seemed no older than Kazemi. 'A prostitute, huh? I wonder if I could get a show? A 2 in one kinda deal..?' A joke. That was a joke.

"I don't care.."

Kazemi walked up to the cage and put his hands onto the bars. The feminine boy slowly scooted up to the bars and did the same. 'Underfed and sick. I see myself in him. If I actually had money then I'd really buy you. Too bad I'm gonna steal your...power..'

He sighed.

'Taking away the only thing that he can defend himself with. Kind of a dick move, isn't it? No, I can't feel bad. How did he go in debt again?'

"Hey, why did you go in debt?"

He spoke directly to the blue haired boy. The blue hair boy in question was surprised by his gentle tone as he wasn't used to it.

"Drugs..."

He said plainly and quietly. 'Drugs? Ah, I do those as well. Well, I move drugs, not use them. I do take some for my own though at times..'

"What kind of drugs? And do you have a secret stash?"

He was also an addict. Remember kids, don't do drugs. Especially at 15 and started when you were 10. The blue haired boy let out a breath of air while forming a small smile.

"Cocaine. And I do but you'll have to buy me first to get the location. Is that fine, master?"

"Ouch... Playing the Master card, eh? Not a bad idea though. It's a shame.."

He turned invisible and in an instant, the fat short man was met with a metal object to the face. 'Huh..' The blue haired boy backed up slowly as he started at the twitching fat body.

Kazemi was bashing and bashing his head into the ground. 'I haven't kill this easily in so long... Dad put up a fight last time..' He turned visible and slowly looked at the shaking boy.

"You see, I'm not here to buy anything. I'm here..to take your power.."

"H-Huh?! T-Take my power... How.."

Kazemi picked up the keys off the dead man and unlocked the cage. He then jumped up into it and stood over the blue haired boy. 'I wonder if this gives him some sort of PTSD?..'

He had a twisted mind at times. 'Eh, who cares. We all have problems that we try to hide, only for them to surface later on in life...' He reached for his face, the blue haired boy too scared to stop him.

"I'll come back for you.."

He placed his hand on his face and a jolt ran through his body. 'Huh? Come back... He'll come back? Really?! No, he must be lying. They never come back. But, he seems so genuine..'

"So just hold on for me, Hirito. I'll come back and get you when I'm stronger. Only then can you call me master.."

He removed his hand, information coming into his head. [Air Walk: Allows the user to walk on the air, basically being able to levitate. Weakness: Cuases 24/7 pain.] 'Damn. I feel even more bad for 'em. I'll be back though..'

He cupped his face while squatting down. 'Soft skin with nice features. A real shame that I can't get you out now..' Kazemi tapped his face and removed his hand.

"Wait.."

He grabbed Kazemi's hand, tears pouring down his face. 'Hm? Ah, shit...' Alarms started going off when he did that. 'Make it quick...'

"Promise?"

"Hm? Yeah, I promise. I took your power. Setting you free is only right. Oh yeah, don't mention my ability. Just say that I merked him then teleported."

He kissed his hand to make him feel at ease. 'That rich lady made me feel at ease in that moment, like all my worries disappeared, when she kissed me on the cheek. Maybe this will have the same affect.'

"Survive, Hirito. Survive.."

Hirito was left with a blush as Kazemi smiled at him while turning invisible. 'If you're really going to come back and get me, then I'll push through.'

Unbeknownst to Hirito, Kazemi gave him another power. It was useless but he thought that this much was necessary.

'I now have Invisibility and the ability to walk on Air. Power is power, yes, but the more you have, the more corrupted you become. Me saying that I'll steal everyones Sigil was a joke. I'll steal some then trade them out. I...don't see myself with more than 10 Sigils at a time unless I get one that increases my mentality..'

Kazemi rushed past the group of guards and other random people. Each dealer was equipped with heart sensors for this exact purpose.

'I wonder though..'

A thought came to his head as he shanked the door guard repeatedly.

'Could I give..copy and paste away..'
