Are you afraid of me?

"Who are you?" Sylia opened her eyes wide as she looked at the king of Asuras sitting in front of her. Yama who had just taken a comfortable position on the furry seat could not help but look at the girl with amusement.

He smirked and stood up before cracking his knuckles, as a part of his habit and leaned forward to look at the girl who was gazing at him warily. He took in her scent and said.

"I should be the one to ask you this. Who are you?"

Sylia frowned on hearing a question instead of an answer. Not wanting to take a look at the Yama for more than another second, she turned her head into another direction as she remained quiet. However her mind was in a mess.

'Who am I?' This question seemed to be very familiar to her as if she might have asked this a lot of times to herself.

Yama seemed to be not satisfied with the way she was ignoring him, so he placed his rough fingers on her smooth and delicate skiing, under her chin and turned her face so that she could face him. Sylia was stunned when her skin got in touch with a hard and rough skin, only to realize that in the next moment the Yama was standing in front of her eyes.

"What do you want?" She hissed while glaring at him. In contrast rather than being offended, the Yama was quite amused with her brave and ferocious attitude. He squinted his eyes and said.

"I want to ask you the same thing."

Sylia was so annoyed on hearing the same response for the second time that she immediately removed the blanket over her to stand up, however in the next instant as soon as she removed the blanket a strong and sharp pain immediately made her frown and whine in pain.

"Be careful."

The Yama who would not even care or even ask anybody to take care, said the girl in front of him to be careful when he heard her painful cry. He immediately felt pained on her behalf. His mind did not think in this direction, instead was worried for the injured girl as he helped her to sit back comfortably on the bed while covering her with the blankets afterwards.

Sylia no longer detested the man in front of her, at least now when she saw this side of his where he took care of her, she did not have a disgusting expression on her face.

"Thank you…" After a long silence she finally spoke up as she met his eyes. However, what she observed into his eyes completely surprised her, or more precisely it had shocked her.

Through his eyes, she could feel a faint cold aura eliminating from him, a sign of black which could be said to be a sign responsible for death. Not only death, she saw multiple reflections of different color, one of them was red as well. Red which stood for blood- meaning that blood was either spilled or in the future this person would be someone who would kill or murder.

With all the color combined there were signs of yellow- which was responsible for ultimate power. This man was not as simple as she had thought. He might be someone who would be responsible for the universe's ultimate power weapon or the fighter to save everybody.

Sylia kept on staring into his eyes until the Yama could not help but snort and ask in a cold voice.

A person who could see through the soul of somebody just by looking into their eyes were indeed considered to be dangerous. So as soon as he saw her staring at him, he was immediately on alert and demanded her angrily. He was aware that if she could see through a person just by looking into their eyes then she wasn't any normal human or any normal special living. She must be very powerful among the livings of her own world. He was aware that if she could see through his soul, then there was full chance that she could easily read his mind.

Sylia instantly lowered her eyes and looked elsewhere before speaking.

"Don't worry. I wasn't doing anything."

The Yama became quite alert and furious, noticing her actions. How could he believe those mere words coming out of her mind? Leaning forward, he glared at Sylia with his red bloodshot eyes as he said in a cold tone.

"Don't ever try to fool me with anything. Do you understand? Or else…" He paused and let out a sinister laugh before adding.

"Your life could be considered in my hands."

Saying so, he straightened his back and looked meaningfully at Sylia, expecting to get a scared or crying expression. However, to his surprise, what he saw, he was taken back. Neither in the whole world would he might have expected that in reaction to his furious nature, he would see somebody maintaining a provoking smile on their face.

Yama's face darkened a few shades. Since he was already furious, her provoking look made him more angry. He hissed in anger and asked her in a loud voice, almost making the whole area shake.

"What are you smiling for?"

Sylia remained unaffected as she looked at him and tilted her head slightly. After a long time, she finally said.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The Yama could not believe his ears when he heard her question. In this world, where everybody was supposed to be scared of him, this girl in front of him was asking whether he was afraid of her? Either she might have lost her brain cell for saying such things because of staying in the cold for so long or he might have just heard something incorrectly.

"Did you just ask me?"

Sylia smirked looking at his exaggerated reaction as she raised her eyebrows and nodded her head slightly as she said in a sarcastic tone while maintaining the provoking look from earlier.

"Of course. Do you think there is somebody else here apart from the two of us?"
