"If I survived everything I've survived, I can sure as hell help you. I'm not a human, at the moment. Not only am I stronger, but I have my magic. It's an equal fight, if anything, it's not fair to the demons." My natural light dimmed until we were submerged in complete darkness again.
"It's up to you, Raiden."

* He took off the wrappings he had on his hand . He smiled and turned on his heel and started walking out the alley. He stopped right before the light and the darkness melded as one.*
I'm going , if you choose to come. Then it be easier for me ........
* I dont want to endanger her even if she can help me.*
Their close and i want them away from the people. A alley is no place to fight.

"Then we need to go somewhere secluded with a lot of light. It damages them before they even get near us. There is a reason why you don't like the sun." I walked next to him and laced my fingers into his.
"Where is there a lot of light?" Before leaving the alley, I cast a sheild over myself and him. "It'll keep us from getting weak in the light."

* He smiled lightly , but he wasn't being weakened by light. it was his demon. But he was still locked in his pysche.*
A lot of light there isn't a place i know of yet. Weakening them has no outcome of the battle. If i can't get over my fear and my past. Then it would be better for me to die....
* he stroked your hand slowly , as he walked to a empty lot where there were more lights flickering on and off *

"Unless you plan on getting rid of your demon, he's a part of you. His weakness is your weakness." Among the shadows, his demons approached the lot. Once in the lot, I spread an invisible force field to keep everyone else out.
"They're here. Remember, your fighting yourself. Don't think, act on instinct." I kissed his cheek once more and walked to the side of the lot. I gathered my energy and began focusing on what would be my hardest conjur. It was the back up plan in case he failed. Please don't fail...this much magic could kill me.

* He took a deep breathe , he was pondering what shape they would take. As the demons stepped thru the field . He smiled slightly , one was himself and they other was his brother.*
I see even my demon has a sense of humor.
* What do you plan on doing with having them kill me ?
If you die i might be able to take over them and have a temporary body of some sort*

As they approached Raiden, they took the form of him and another boy. I continued conjuring my energy, focusing it on one point. I was terribly worried for him. I took a deep breath and began conjuring the exorcism charm. He's worth anything that might happen. His soul is too important to die over a hungry demon...

* i smiled as the fight had began and we started exchanging blows
Do you plan on letting me die ?
Of course your weak
Too bad i figured your name out too
You lie...
Try me we signed a contract right ? I want to add another one on you taking my body as yours if i fail.
What is this new contract then ?
I took a step back as i spat out blood . They had been landing blows. I'm worried about my demon than these , I quickly dodge a punch as i got caught with a kick.
Understand ?
Deal.
I stepped back as i dropped my stance. I looked at my palm as the the tattoo flowed once again covering my right arm completely*
Now the real fight beings

The demon spread up his arm in a quick movement. That idiot... He just bet his life. I took a deep breathe and sighed. Concern spread through my body as I concentrated on my magic more. This looks like my last day...

* i smiled as i quickly dispatch the two demons with a few blows. I was huffing and puffing .
You said two blows , not more than that .
I underestimated your fear and anger.
It may have cost us our life.
I the tattoo receded back to just my hand. as i walked to you . I sit down next to you. *
I have him under control , you can let the barrier go now. Drop the magic it will kill you
* Raiden's eyes were still soulless. His body radiated pure sadness , but he felt calmer*

"I don't understand. You killed them. Why are you still so sad?". I dropped the sheild and absorbed the energy. I changed back into a human, having blonde hair replace the crimson, my wings gone. I sat down, dizzy from the change, next to him. Leaning against him, I waited for a response.

* he held you close . *
Sadness isn't just a fleeting emotion. When your sad memories of sad times come in to keep you sad. Its a natural instinct if your sad then sad thoughts pop in. When your happy happy thoughts come. And so forth.
* he sighed and looked at the spot of where his blood lay*

"Then don't think about anything sad. I don't like seeing anyone upset...especially you." I leaned against him followed his gaze to a pool of blood on the floor.
"I'd make it go away, but I can't change that much in one day...I'm here for you until you cheer up." I smiled and held his hand in mine.

* he smiled feeling better , but the night was fadeing. *
It's funny how a person you just met makes you feel better . We need to get you into someplace dark. The sun is coming up soon.

"I'm glad I can help. Where do we go?" I stood up and smiled. The sun was about to rise, making the sky an interesting color. I really hated how I couldn't be in the sun. I wasn't strong enough for the sun yet...

I have no idea. I want you to be safe. That is what matters to me . I have given up my emotions in exchange for control over my demon.

"No...I can't let you do that." My voice broke on the last word. There's no way in hell he's giving up his emotions over me.

Well i have just sadness but it's ok . Let's go before the sun catches you .
*he stood up and took your hand and started to walking towards a hotel.
At least ill buy her a small place to live for a week. *
It's ok it's something i chose

I followed him, with saddness emulating over me. "I can't let you pay for a hotel..."
I had to bring his emotions back. How, though?

Please don't try to change anything. The world made me this way. It is for the best .
* he held the door open to the hotel for you*
Please go inside

"Isn't there a way for you to control your demon and have your emotions? I'm willing to help you hunt in order to sustain him. Maybe that'll keep him from wanting me dead so badly." I stood outside the hotel, waiting for a response.

Not that he wants to kill you. I can control him even with out the second contract. Emotions are reserved for humans , not people like me .
* He smiled at you . He was nothing but a shadow of his former self . Whatever triggered those memories may have changed Raiden for good.*

If emotions are only for humans, I shouldn't have them...I wanted to argue until he broke away from his second contract, but it was ultimately his choice and the sun was rising. "Last chance to go somewhere else. I have two hours before I'm unconscious. Are you sure you want to go here?"

* He stopped for a second , she really did want to try to help him. But then again his contract he made. He smiled*
Im your guardian remember. I follow you . But your right being sad the entire time , will slowly erode my body away. I want to help you find whatever it is your missing
* No! You completed the contract
Found a reason to be happy , now we live in harmony in my body . And as i said you learn your name.
I thought ... My name , names for demons invoke power.
Exactly Hokuto is your name. Or from what i researched when we first made the deal.
His emotions came back to him , and the sadness melted away. He took your hands in his and looked at you. His eyes saying thank you*

Within a moment, his eyes became full of life, warm, inviting. He regained his emotions. He took my hands in his and I spoke out of pure joy. "I can feel you're emotions....You're you again." I gazed into his eyes with a tear of joy falling across my left cheek.
