PROMISE

"It's none of your business Hinata, why are you always worried about me?" Tomura asked.

"You are my friend and I can't leave you now that you need me most" I replied calmly trying to calm him down.

I looked at the bottle on the floor, it wasn't the type of drink you'll see anywhere. The glass was transparent and there was red liquid inside.

" Tomura, what's inside this bottle you took a drink from?" I said, pointing at it.

"It's nothing"

"Don't tell me it's nothing, I know that the person you were talking to just now is a demon"

"Ohhh, is it, I didn't realize. You can sense it from that far"

"Don't tell me... you too.... you took a path with the demon. You know what happens after it, they come for your soul after you fulfill your wish. What did you wish for?" I asked, I was getting scared.

"I wish to be all the things I can't be, to do all the things I can't do"

"What do you mean by that?What do you think your mom will say if she sees you?"

"My mom is dead!!" He said it as if he was happy that she died. "I'm glad that she died, if not I'll never be able to do this, she couldn't see the truth, and she died because of her foolishness"

"I can't believe you would say such a thing" His skin began to crack revealing red scales and marking a certain type of pattern on his body. "You better get out of here, I don't want you to be the first person I'll kill"

After saying that he jump before I could say anything, I expected he must have gone to his house first so I went there, when I got there his father was already dead and the house was scattered with a broken window, I was scared I didn't know what to do I decided to go home and act like nothing happened, but after few weeks there have been missing people, traces of blood and some parts of human body, I decided to tell my sister about it, and she reported it to the police"

"What?!!!!, There have been reports of it for two weeks, why did you not say anything about it?. We would have kicked some demon butt" I shouted at her.

"No dummy, you came yesterday and even though we were here, we won't be the one to dispatch it" Ayaka reminded me.

"Please, please, save Tomura. He is the only friend I have, please" she pleaded with me. I patted her head.

"I will save him, and he is not your only friend" she looked at me surprised. Yes, I'm trying to look cool.

"I'm also your friend, aren't I?" She smiled.

"Yes. Yes, you are. Thanks"

"Yeah, you might be right about that"

"Sorry about my partner" Ayaka addressed the sisters. "We will be taking our leave"

"Okay, I'll walk you to the door," Hinata offered. We walked to the door and met Yaze outside.

"I believe you got all the information we need," Yaze asked.

"Yes, Yaze sensei," Ayaka replied. We decided to walk back and do some sightseeing before going back to the academy, then Hinata held my hand.

"Hmm, Kakashi, I need to ask you a favor"

"What is it?"

"Please, please, save Tomura. He is the only friend I have, please" she pleaded with me. I patted her head.

"I will save him, and he is not your only friend" she looked at me surprised. Yes, I'm trying to look cool.

"I'm also your friend, aren't I?" She smiled.

"Yes. Yes, you are. Thanks"

"No need, that's what the hero does" I said before turning round and letting the wind push my shirt sideways as she looked at me in admiration.

"Kakashi, we don't have forever" Ayaka called out. She ruined my chances to look cool. I walked to her and we both left.

"Where is Yaze?"

"He left to the academy to submit the report, and he said we are free for the rest of the day"

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously.

"There is a café I always wanted to go if I come to Tokyo"

"So you're not from Japan?"

"I'm actually from China, but my mother lives in Kyoto"

"I heard that there is another ASE academy in Kyoto and China, why didn't you go to any of them?"

"Each school specialize in different things, there are two in China, one specialize in all types of jutsu while the other specialize in sword technique, while the one in Kyoto specialize in strategy, that why most humans go there"

"Then the one we attend specialize in what?"

"Close and long range combat"

We stopped at the café and bought some snacks, but we left a few minutes later. We went to the park and bought some ice cream.

"Wow, it's so good!" Ayaka said joyfully.

"Come to think about it, I think she is the girl I met the first day I came to the academy"

"Who?"

"Hinata, she can't recover her chakra after use"

"Ohh, really?" Ayaka said, stuffing her face. She looks so cute, and for a reason I was glad she was my partner. We were chatting when suddenly she said she needed to excuse herself. I agree, and she gave me her ice cream and left.
