The city and followed...

~ Akira's Pov ~

'This is so boring~...' I thought to myself. I stretched my legs to get off the morning, feeling out of my bones. I then look at my clock beside myself...

"7 am..." I muttered. I was tired of being in the mansion. I train every day, but that was it. There was nothing new for me to do here. Not to say the mansion wasn't great, but a person like me can only be contained in one place for so long...

I got up and put on my mask. I decided I was heading out today. Though I should tell my mother and aunt about my leave, still, I shouldn't have many problems given my capability...

_______________________________________________________

"I don't know Akira... I feel it's better that you stay here." Aunt said.

"I agree, Akira..." My mother looked at my aunt. "I think you should remain home as well." She finished.

I sighed. I knew they would want me here, but if I don't ask for it now, I might not ever leave this place...

"I'm sorry guys, but I've been in this house for the last 2 years... I think it's time to go outside, and it's not like I am untrustworthy... just for once, I want to see what's to see in the city... Plus, I didn't go out much with my mom either." I said in a pleading tone...

I saw their faces buckle. Clearly hesitating...

My mother seemed to understand. So she spoke first...

"Alright... but for no more than an hour." She said.

"Make it two, and we have a deal." I said, seeing her and Aunty's expression buckle even more...

However, she broke first. "F-fine... you can go." She said hesitantly...

"Alright, mom, see you guys at 9." I said, leaving...

________________________________________________________

Since the area we lived in was a little quiet, I had to venture a bit far to see much of anything...

When I traveled for a bit, I could see the city from where I was. There were some people too.

I made my way to the city, with both hands folded behind my back, observing the surrounding life...

'So this was Japan. It's far more impressive than I thought...' I mused to myself... I wanted to go unnoticed, but that doesn't seem like that's going to be the case...

Because of aura, people naturally looked in my direction. However, I couldn't judge whether they were hostile or friendly. Still, it didn't matter to me either way. It's not like I cared what they thought about me.

Still, the city is packed full of people... Way too many people...

I continued my stride, making sure not to bum into anyone I passed. It was a good way to train my agility...

*GRUMBLE~*

And there goes my stomach...

Where should I get lunch? I'll try Burger King... I haven't had that in a while...

I slowly made my way to it and entered, waiting in the line for my meal...

Once again, even with the mask on, I still get the stares... I might need to look into a full bodysuit soon, and it doesn't help that I'm more attractive than Rai and Inugami...

After another 10 minutes of waiting, it was finally my turn...

"Oh, hey little guy. What would you like to order?" The cashier asked.

I looked carefully at what they had to serve, and luckily, they had the one I wanted.

"May I have 12 American chicken sandwiches, only 3 combos with up-sized drinks and extra fries? And make the rest only sandwiches." I stated.

The cashier looked visibly perplexed...

"I's sorry but, can you eat all of that? Much less the money to afford it?" The cashier said.

"Yes, what's the total cost?" I asked.

"...That would be... 23 thousand, 5 hundred yen!" He stated. He was clearly curious about what I would do now...

I smirked under my mask, and then I quickly pulled out my wallet, taking out the exact amount.

He said nothing, with only a look of shock, and told me to wait for my order...

After another 15 minutes went by, I got my meal...

This was arguably the most difficult part... I had to remove my mask to eat my dinner, since I was out of the city, it's not like I could go up to my room and eat by myself...

I turned around to see the people starring in anticipation, then turning around to act like they weren't...

'You all are so mature...' I thought.

I sighed... there was no avoiding my fate. It sucks that strangers would be seeing my face first in a whole year, instead of my family...

I took off my mask casually, trying my best to ignore the looks... I could literally feel the women in here blushing and lusting after me...

Even some men, too...

I started eating and drinking quickly. Finishing the entire meal within just 3 minutes...

And left. I could feel their disappointment when I did...

However, after walking for a while more, I was stopped by someone...

I turned around to see a beautiful lady...

"How may I help you, miss?" I asked...

I saw her breath getting hagard and burdened...

"Uhmm... Please take this card with you to your parents! They will understand..." She said, quickly leaving.

'Okay... then...' I thought, sweating a little...

I took a look at it, only to see the name of a popular modeling agency for kids my age...

'No thanks, lady. I already have a lot on my plate...' I thought. crumbling the paper in my hands to continue my stride.

Then, I stopped completely... sensing something... unusual...

I didn't know how to really describe it. It felt like my mother's presence yet more refined...

However, I did know it was following me... My senses were sharp enough to pick it up.

'How should I handle this?...' I pondered, walking randomly too.

If I did that, it shouldn't arouse any suspicion in my behavior...

Since they were following me, It would be wise to waddle down their patience first...

I walked everywhere, going into different places and taking my time to see if the person tattle-tailing me would give up, and unfortunately, they didn't...

The only way I would lose this person would be to confront them...

I left the store and headed into an alleyway...

It was not the wisest choice, but I was confident enough to deal with them...

I waited by the corner to see if they would appear eventually, too...

After a couple of seconds passing, 'they' arrived...

Whoever it is, was dressed in a black robe, it was a little hard to identify whether it was a man or woman...

Still, it's most likely a female by the height and the width of their shoulder... However, when they saw that I was right in front of them, they stood motionless...

So... I broke the silence first...

"...So, you're the one who's been following me...".
