Irrelevant

I continued on my feasting until only bones were left, leaving a huge stains of blood on the ground. With my left hand I cleaned my mouth, none could be wasted. Conveniently, it started raining, meaning, I could clean my raincoat. No one would get near me if it was drenched in blood. Gathering water on my hand, I washed my face. My hair were just as messy as ever, no change required. I slowly cleaned my face, putting extra care on cleaning blood, mainly from corners of my mouth and cheeks. I then got for washing my raincoat.

Slipping out of it was beyond uncomfortable, I felt really helpless without it. I better be fast then, I don't wish to spend that much time without it on. I hastily washed through all possible corners where blood could lodge itself. When done, I literally ran into it. Wearing it once again, I started calming down. Putting my hood back on, I got out of alleyway. No need for someone to see me.

I traveled through the city, as if nothing ever happened. I looked around, people standing under umbrellas and roofs, enjoying themselves, eating. From time to time I spotted some of them disposing of food ..? Why ? It was edible, nothing seemed wrong with it. Maybe it was just so cheap, disposable. I went after them and got what they ate from a bin. It was quite tasty, maybe I could live off this ? I don't really care. I will eat it if I want to.

I went back on the beach, somehow. It was hard to navigate around because everything looked different when lights went off and people stoped walking around. I still made it there. Waves were still crashing in the sand, although way intensely than in the day. I sat there, rain pouring down my coat and right onto my legs. I wasn't feeling cold in any way, not even a little. As such, I laid there, waiting for next day to arrive. I was full, even my hunger was not responding. I gazed into the stars, they were shining beautifully, hypnotizing in the way. I lulled myself with the song, humming into its rhythm. As such, I fell asleep, awaiting the next day.

...

I woke up, sun barely rising above horizon, light only enough for it to still be dark. I decided to go onto the morning walk, I heard it is healthy to do so.

I first started with walking up the pathway along side the beach. In that way I wouldn't get lost, at least I presume I wouldn't. While walking around though, one thing drawn my attention. It being a pair of ... dad and son ? No, probably not, they had different hair styles, hair colors, also, they were built differently.

So, they were standing there, one sitting on a garbage and other dragging it around. Quite weird method of bonding, better one would be talking around a meal.

A smaller guy seemed to be struggling very much. I hate him. He resembled a broccoli.

I did not stand around for too long, continuing on my way. Walking around, nothing eventful seemed to happen. Hunger was satisfied, I felt no need to be eating, for now. I would normally continue on my way to get out of the Maw, but now that I was out ... I realize that I don't really have anything to do. Was I planning to do anything after I escape ? No, I just wanted to get out of that horrible place where death was waiting for me around every corner, I did not think of any kind of future.

I am always on the run, to get food, to run away. Now that I look at it, I never really rested. So, maybe I should just relax ? Sit back and enjoy myself in here ? I mean, there is so much food in here, I don't even need to kill people. Although this food won't satisfy Hunger for really long, but if eaten periodically often, it would do quite well. But, they probably won't give it for free, thus leading to this question.

Where do I start ? Even if I am intelligent for a nine years old, I was still nine, no one would hire me. I won't even consider other things, loss of time.

I continued on my tour, watching all of those buildings with interest. Shops, other shops, restaurants, cafes.

No where I could go, because of this stupid money thingy.

Frustrated, I went into the alleyways. Maybe I will meet some rude people willing to be eaten. I am hungry.

...

Ten months later.

Munching sounds resounding throughout narrow alleyway followed by one, sickening crunch.

An already cold corpse, was lying down on the ground, dismembered. It's limbs were scattered across the alleyway, some were just bones and others were still waiting for their time.

I was currently biting into the left arm, devouring what was left on this miserable bones. It was raining, just like on this day a few months ago. Everything has changed in this frame of time however.

I was no longer homeless, residing in rather mediocre apartment was way more enjoyable than laying on the sand. Although I did not have just as beautiful look into the stars.

I also got a job ! It isn't exactly the best one out there, although it is still better than doing nothing. I became someone known as executioner, I get rid of certain people that don't do things in time. I mean, job is very easy for me. There always will be dangerous individuals, however, I learned how to deal with them. I did eat The Lady and got her powers, so I tried doing the same with people around here. It did work, I could gain a power of people I ate, it did slightly increase my hunger however, and I didn't want that. As such, I gained three powers throughout the whole lots of killing that I did. It being, strengthened jaws, which now, with little training, allowed me to bite through the metal. Quite useful one might say, there were few people with hardening abilities.

Some kind of minor fire quirk, which as one might guess, allowed me to use power, only fire breath though. It is good, I would have burned my raincoat this way.

The last one, was gigantification. Yes, this lady was delish~ she did scream a tad bit, although not that much. She was way more tasty than others that I eat, I wonder why ? Maybe it was because she was a female ? Are they more tasty ? I will have to try.

I was working for a guy, his name was Giran. I met him during one of my feedings, saving him from few of his angry customers. I wanted to eat him too, but he said that he could employ me. I was quite puzzled at first, but then he introduced me to one man as his executioner. I did ask him later on, no, I didn't ask him, I just stared at him excessively and he explained. I was to hunt down a people that I am shown to hunt down, as easy as that. A guy that I would be working for was, as Giran said, some yakuza boy. He gave me information about people's routines and living places, and then just 'dispose' of them. But, as disposing would be a waste, I just ate them whole, including bones.

I hated wasting food, so many could be fed with what was marked as already eaten. I realized that I was also wasting bones, thus I decided to also eat them. They were much crunchier than any meat that I tasted, although it tasted sweet inside.

I also made a friends ! One of them was a strange girl that yakuza boy, apparently named Overhaul, carried around. She was always sobbing, thus why I decided to calm her down. Her cries were annoying, and I have a lots of work in here. I would rather don't have her crying.

She had bandages all over her limbs, as well as a grey loose T-shirt on herself. Her name was apparently Eri, a girl was a stuttering mess.

Once, she asked me for my name, to which I simply responded with "Six." and got back to work.

Other friend that I made, was a guy that valued eating as much as me, guy named Soramitsu. We were eating buddies, only difference being I could control myself and he could not. They even wanted to name us 'Hungry Duo', but it didn't happen.

Overhaul also told me to join him, which I did after ensuring that he would give me lots of food. I was included in a group named Eight bullets, now nine.

I also discovered that my ability, Life Absorption, allowed me to strengthen myself. I discovered that because one time when I was already full and had food still left, I decided to use it once again. What was left was a powder, not even closely resembling what was left originally.

I did feel stronger after this, thus arriving at this conclusion. I started periodically leaving people alive and just sucking the life force out of them. Going on with that, I became way stronger, bending normal metal without any real trouble. I also started to grow up ! Something about four inches, which really added up towards my short height.

For today, I was done, no one more needing to be eaten. I got out of the alleyway, rain washing a blood off my coat.

It is a fate of all, to rot and decay or to be ripped apart and eaten. I will also probably end up like that. But for now ... it is Irrelevant.
