leave.
Shiro was finally asked to participate in a serious conversation. He agreed, but couldn't use her. For this reason he pushed her rather roughly in Souta's direction and explained the reason for it before he disappeared. Feeling uncomfortable, Hana didn't know what to do at first. So all on her own, but now she had to go through it. It was an assignment after all. She took a deep breath before daring to lift her head a little to make the first eye contact. There was something warm in his eyes, unlike the others, which is why she first wondered if it could be a demon."Let's get some fresh air.", Suggested Souta, or Sou, and accompanied her to a large archway through which they both stepped. They were on a large terrace, but his steps led them both into the rose garden, the pride and joy of the property. The whole time neither of them dared to say anything, they walked silently side by side, deeper and deeper into the garden. Finally they came to a place surrounded by the numerous rose bushes. In the middle was a flowing fountain and the surface of the water reflected the many, twinkling stars in the pitch-black sky. That was the time and Sou stopped. He lifted his head a little so he could look up. Meanwhile, Hana struggled with her feelings. It just didn't feel right to kill this person. She wasn't allowed to do it, but she had no choice.
"I know why Shiro sent you.", It came from him, which interrupted the peaceful, but also overwhelming silence. But instead of this silence, there was now an overwhelming atmosphere. She remained silent, instead pushing the fine fabric of the dress up a little until a silver dagger, attached to a leather cord around her thigh, was visible. With a sad expression she took it in her right hand and stood behind the black-haired man who had turned his back to her. "I'm so sorry. I have no other choice," she said in a broken voice. But she only heard a soft laugh as an answer. "It's okay. I know that you puppets are only slaves. You know, I used to be like Shiro too, had my characters and such." He began to speak and told her his story. He, too, had been a real demon who hadn't cared about others. But one day he made the pact with a young woman, around Hana's age. Over time, he began to develop feelings for this woman, but unfortunately her mortal life separated them. Now he no longer saw any point in living in it. He wanted to be united with her, which is why he began to do everything so that death would find him.
"Please fulfill this wish." As he spoke to her, he turned around. Frozen by this heartbreaking story, it took her more than normal strength to move her arms.
Could she really kill someone that easily? She was now living in another world, an unfamiliar world, but that still did not justify such actions, it was not compatible with her conscience. Yet her body acted on its own again. It was as if that dark force deep inside of her was causing her to do so. Her arms rose, the dagger pointed at him. She tried to fight it, but there was no chance. The blue of her eyes turned blood red at the moment of the crime and she assumed a trance-like state.His eyes widened at the sight, but before he could react in any way, the cold metal pierced the warm body, directly into the chest, so that the strength quickly waned and he fell to the ground.
Then Hana seemed to come to again. After shaking her head to regain consciousness, she looked from the gun in her right hand at the corpse on the floor in front of her. Hot tears immediately ran down her cheeks and she began to shiver. Only Shiro's cold voice, which suddenly echoed through the night, brought her back to reality. He ordered her to go back to the car. An order that she followed immediately, which is why she left this place on the spot.
The white-haired man walked slowly towards his friend and sat down next to him on the grass. "This girl is also useless.", He said in an annoyed voice while he pulled the dagger out of his chest. The red eyes fixed on Sou's face. "Can't even kill her.", Shiro skipped another blow to finish the work properly, but Sou seemed to want to say something else. "Shiro ... Hana is no ordinary slave .. she means your death.", He managed weakly. Shiro's eyebrow twitched dangerously and his features turned cold. "Nobody can kill me," he hissed, ramming the murder tool into the body one more time - this time for the final thrust. When he got up again he held up the dagger a little and blinked once before the metal turned to dust and was carried away by the wind. That also destroyed the evidence. "Hana is an ordinary person.", He tried to convince himself, even when an inner feeling denied it.
"Looks like this demon got in our way.", Haruto managed and lowered the blade a little. How much he hated it when someone got in his way and hindered his work. "Looks like this job is over."
