Ramen

He thought about using the Yamato to open a portal directly to his house, but considering the fact that this would be his last night in Tokyo, he thought that it wouldn't be too bad to take the scenic route home.

The rain had mostly let up by this point and more people were seen on the streets despite the star filled sky hanging above them.

Walking down a mostly empty street, Jun had his hands in his pockets as his earphones played the top rated songs coming from America.

On his way home he passed by a couple of food stalls that were still open despite the lack of customers. One stall in particular grabbed his attention, it was a cozy little ramen place that basically said traditional ramen noodles here!

Feeling that his stomach was quite empty he went in and ordered a bowl.

Just as he was about to eat it, some guy came stumbling in stinking of booze.

"Good evening." He greeted the chef.

"Did you have a drink today?" The chef asked seeing his flushed face.

"Hehe, just a bit." He grinned and took a seat next to Jun.

"You're lucky. This is the last item left for today." The chef said frying up some noodles.

"Oh? Is business going well?"

While the two men talked, Jun quietly slurped up his noodles while thinking about his plans for tomorrow.

'Guess I'll have to say goodbye to Satsuki as well... She wouldn't react like the others would she?'

While he was lost in thought he didn't realize that a random girl with reddish brown hair had taken a seat next to him and was talking to the drunk guy about doppelgangers? Doppel liners? Something to do with the word doppel.

It was only when the girl was hit from behind and sent flying that he realized that the conversation had stopped.

Standing behind him was a hooded in shorts and sneakers.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" The chef shouted at him.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL THIS LITTLE GIRL!? HAVE YOU GONE INSANE!?"

Walking up to the chef, the hooded man merely looked at him before smashing him across the face with his fist.

"Mister!" The drunk (now sober) rushed to his side.

"Stay out of this... You're nothing but a human..." He said with a piercing look in his eye.

Under the sharp gaze of the hooded man, the drunkard was frozen in fear as large beads of sweat rolled down his face.

'W-What is this!? I can't move!!'

Shaking in fear, he gathered up his courage and was about to attack the man but stopped when he heard a certain voice.

"Oi."

"Hmm..." The hooded man turned around to find a white haired youth sitting on the ramen stall stool looking into his ramen bowl.

"Tsk, another pesky human looking to die."

"Human? Did you just equate me to something as pitiful as a human?"

"Huh?"

Pushing himself off the stall he started to slowly walk towards the hooded man.

Seeing such a young boy walking towards that gangster looking hooded man, the drunkard freaked out and tried to stop him.

"Hey kid what are you doing! Stay back he's crazy!"

"Shut up" He said in a chilling voice releasing hints of his aura.

A cold wave swept over his body as he felt like he was dropped in the arctic.

*Gulp*

The pressure emanating from the boy in front of him was much more frightening than the one coming from the hooded man and made him feel like if he didn't shut up... he would lose his life.

Unable to control his body, he started to unintentionally shiver as his clothes quickly became soaked in his sweat.

Walking towards the hooded man, Jun had long since lost his smile.

"Do you know what your first offense was?"

"Offense? I don't give a fu-

*BANG!*

*CRASH!!*

Getting backhand slapped in the face, his body was shot into the wall behind the ramen stall and left a human shaped imprint in it.

*BLERGHHH!!*

"W-What!" Was the reaction of the drunkard, chef and the young girl.

Throwing up a mouthful of blood his body was buried too deep in the crater for him to get out.

"Your first offense was causing that girl's blood to spill into my ramen broth." Jun continued walking towards the man.

*BANG!!*

"ARRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"

Kicking him through the wall, the hooded man's body brushed past various shapes of stones, some of which cut up his back and pierced his ribcage.

"Your second offense was daring to call me human." He said raising his foot.

"ARRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" The man shrieked in a tone that was almost inhuman.

Looking at his left arm, he saw that it had been completely crushed under the white haired boy's foot. No. Crushed was the wrong word to use. What happened to his arm was equivalent to it being squashed and deflated. The blood vessels had burst and escaped through his pores as the bone was cracked then shattered. Even his muscle fibers weren't spared as they were squashed and refused to go back to their previous shape.

"M-My arm... MY ARM!!" He screamed as tears escaped his eyes.

"Shut up..." Jun said pressuring him with his aura.

"Y-You're a Mototsumitama." The man stuttered.

"Mototsumitama?"

Lifting up the man by his neck, Jun slowly increased his grip strength and started to crush his throat.

"Listen closely trash cause I'm only gonna say this once. I don't what a Mototsumitama is and I couldn't give a flying fuck either. All you need to know is that you spilled blood in my food, and for that your life is forfeit."

Applying my pressure, Jun was about to snap his neck until he heard someone shout at him.

"STOP STOP!!"

In the distance, the girl with the reddish brown hair and the drunkard came running towards him with worried looks on their faces.

When they saw the bloodied state of the man who had previously been ready to kill them being held up by the white haired teen, they couldn't help but hide the shock in their hearts.

"What do you want?" He asked without a shred of emotion in his voice.

"W-Well you see w-we kinda called the p-police." The drunkard stuttered.

"Police?"

'I should probably get out of here both they show up.'

Looking at the hooded man who was suffocating in his hands, he applied more pressure until he passed out and threw him into the embrace of the drunkard.

"You deal with him. But don't blame me if he comes to kill you later on."

Saying this he turned around and walked away leaving the two to watch as his back disappeared into the distance.
