Memories

It was morning, after the good night rest Tatsuya decided to leave as early as possible. In front of the gate with Tatsuya was Sanjuro, the Old man and Misaki, Shogo was still fast asleep.

"So where is your destination Tatsuya-san" Sanjuro asks 

" I was planning on going to Reiko's place but i thought of branching to the market first" Tatsuya replied 

"The market??" 

"Yes, i wanted to get something for Reiko" Tatsuya added

"Ohh, i didn't warn you…" Sanjuro rubs his head 

"Warn me about what?" 

"Reiko's fiancé, he his a real dumbass, you should know how you mingle with her, I'm sure by now he must have noticed you, apart from being a demon slayer he got connection, after all he is the Daimyo son, all I'm saying Tatsuya-san mind how you behave around the old hag" Sanjuro said 

"Hmm…alright I got you" 

'I never had any sort of romantic feelings towards Reiko though, i just wanted to get her something for appriciation for letting me crash at her house' 

"I'll be taking my leave then" Tatsuya said and was about to go.

"Tatsuya-kun….you should try meditating more often, it will make you light and calm" The old man said 

"Sure I'll do that" Tatsuya departed 

Later that day in the afternoo, Tatsuya was at the market looking at all sort of goods, foods stuffs, drinks, assessories. The place was big and bursting with buyers and sellers. And as usual with every turn Tatsuya took, they was always someone to pickpocket him, but non was successful.

After walking to and fro the market, Tatsuya stops infront of a jewellery cart. A diamon necklace got his attention.

"Hey, how much for that" Tatsuya points at the necklace 

"That will be 50,000 Sen" The man replied 

'Are you fucking kidding me, i only got last month pay of 20,000 Sen'

"Please can you sell it for 10,000 Sen" Tatsuya asked 

"No can do sir, thats a pure merchandise, inly few know the quality of this" The man shakes his head.

Tatsuya was already exhausted and sighed

'I have to get this by any means, I'm sorry man but i have to do this…' Tatsuya made up his mind to steal it. He waited for the next person to pass him by and collided with him and fell on the cart 

"I'm so sorry man" The man Tatsuya collided with helped Tatsuya stand up

"No problem" Tatsuya said and turns towards the cart owner and helped im arranged his goods 

"So sorry" Tatsuya bowed his head, Tatsuya was actually sorry for stealing the Diamond necklace

Soon later Tatsuya got out of the market as soon as possible. He was on the way to Reiko's place as he stared at the mysterious Diamond Necklace

'For some reason, this shit is calling me, i feel somewhat attached to it' Tatsuya thougt to himself with this hand under his chin 

'That doesn't matter anyways I'm just gonna give this to her' After some minutes of walking Tatsuya arrives at her house, ge knocked several times but no response, he immediately thought that she went to the medical facility or she got some private things to sort out.

Tatsuya opened the gate and walked in, as he was about to open the door and walk inside he heard a shout coming from the backyard, somthing like 

"You are clueless" 

Tatsuya immediately rushed to check what was going on, he recorgnised Reiko's voice but couldn't understand why she will be shouting at Yumi and Yuki which such tone. As he was about to make a turn to the backyard, Teary Reiko bumps on him, she stopped to check who she had just hit and saw that it was Tatsuya, she ignores him and ran towards the gate.

Tatsuya shifted his gaze from where she was coming from and spots a tall figure, not that taller than him but he was sure tall, he had short spiky brown hair and a sharp long eyes spreading form east to west. Tatsuya immediately knew what was going on 

"Ohh….if it's not the legendary God of Death Himself, I'm so honoured to see you" The young man bows down slightly towards Tatsuya

"I'm pleased to meet you too" Tatsuya bows 

"My name is Moniyara, and as you can see, i just had a little problem with my fiancé" Moniyara said 

"Oh..i see" 

"And the major cause of the problem was you, Death God" Moniyara displays a scary smile, very scary. 

Tatsuya knew the guy wasn't normal, the guys is your normal weak ass threatening side characters, this guy was strong.

"Keke…hahahahahaha, i see" Tatsuya laughs 

"Why don't we make a deal, let's ask Reiko herself who she want to stay with, a spoiled kid like you or a handsome devil like me" 

'What the fuck am i saying, what the fuck am i doing' Tatsuya was in mental crises but still retained physical composure 

"Alright then, Handsome Death God, I'll take you up on your offer, but if she comes to my side you have to stop seeing her so don't regret this hahaha" Moniyara laughs as he walks out of the compound

The following day, at Reiko's compound.

Tatsuya, Reiko, Wide eye….Ahem…Moniyara and Yuki and Yuma were present.

Reiko stood beside Moniyara, it was more like hiding behind him, she was afraid and hide her face from Tatsuya. Meanwhile Tatsuya was was opposite them trying to figure out what Mr Wide eyes was using to hold Reiko captive, something had to be involved.

"Well then Reiko-chan, do you want to move over to Tatsuya-sama and deny me or, stay by my side and deny him" Wide eyes said with his smile spreading from east to west, like fuck the guy should bare the name wide face for real.

Reiko shivers a little and tug his cloth muttering some words, Wide face could obviously hear it but Tatsuya couldn't, but he wanted her to speak loudly to Tatsuya's hearing 

"I can't hear you Reiko-chan, say it more loudly" 

"I want to stay by you side" She cried out 

"Good girl, very good" Wide face smiled devilishly 

"Haa…What a drag" Tatsuya sighed and walks towards her and wears the necklace around her neck 

"The is my way of appreciation, thanks for everything, so long" Tatsuya leaves through the gate 

'Now then, how to kill that motherfucker' Tatsuya gnashed his teeth in rage 

'But what's this feeling, why the fuck am i angry' Tatsuya was confused, he had mix feelings, he didn't know where this emotions are coming from, he was in shambles.

"Kaw kaw" Hanabi cry brings Tatsuya back to his senses 

"Tatsuya-sama, a new mission for you Tatsuya-sama kaw" Hanabi hovers the air 

"You are to go to a local village called Mizukiri, a demon as been reported to have ravaged the village countless times, women and children has gone missing every night, Your mission, you are to head there immediately and slay the demon" 

"Hmmm….Mizukiri huh?? Brings back lots of memories" Tatsuya said with a saddend smile

"Alex, i wonder how he is now, i have a feeling that this is going to be interesting, let go, Hanabi-chan" 

"Yes, Tatsuya-sama"
