Naoto understood why the gun was pointed at her after the other said ‘get down’. She listened to the other and dove to the ground hard. She turned her head and saw a few feet away from where she was standing was a Shadow falling to the ground dead. She didn’t even want to think how bad of a situation she would be in if the other didn’t kill that Shadow. She stood up when it was safe and her attention turned to the masked male, or at least she thought the other was male.
“Thank you for doing that. But I was saying that you need to leave this town immediately, this fog is dangerous. It changes people and not in a good way. I can help you get out of the fog but past that you are on your own.”
“A kind offer from a beautiful damsel, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to decline.”
He slowly walks towards the exit of the alley, he wasn’t aware that this fog was so harmful, this just raises his suspicion that ‘he’ might be in this town, so it mattered little for him if the fog changes him, or the city’s crawling with shadows, the masked thief would see the end of his mission no matter what. For his friends, for Morgana, for his own self.
That was the last thing Naoto expected the other to draw. It was just an innocent comment, and she slowly put her hands up showing that she meant no harm. She didn’t want to drag anyone else into the Investigation Team’s problem… or as of right now her problem. She kept her voice low to avoid the attention of the Shadows that would just make this situation even worse.
“I’m not here to hurt you. But you need to get out of Inaba, out of this fog as soon as possible… It changes people and not in a good way. I can help get you out before it’s too late”
She explained to the other honestly. He would be able to see that the metal on her hands were only on the top part and it was actually attached to her skin and her hands were clawed. Her legs were also covered in metal and clawed, her wings weren’t as easy to see but were still noticeable.
“Get down!”
The boy shouts as he pulls the trigger, shooting a shadow behind her, after making sure the beast was in fact dead, he puts the pistol back into it’s holster, glances back at the girl and cracks a small smile on his face. He then analyzes rather androgynous young girl in front of him.
Naoto was getting some exercise, jumping from roof to roof while watching the citizens of Inaba just wander around below her. Today the fog was lighter than usual today which was good for her. She was just thinking to herself before something told her to slow down. She didn’t understand the strange feeling but slowed down and looked over the edge of a building and saw someone in an alleyway that actually looked human. Naoto scanned the area and saw there weren’t any Shadows in the area and she checked her pistol to make sure it was fully loaded.
Satisfied with her weapons, Naoto jumped into the alleyway and slowly approached the other, staying to the Shadows and pulling a jacket on to hide her wings.
“You need to get out of here it isn’t safe here.”
The man was used to run from shadows, hesc been doing for quite a while now, but not like this, they’re usually in a much more condensed controlled area, not in a entire city area. He tried for hours to lose the shadows, but those creatures are just way too stubborn for supposedly mindless beasts.
He then finally tuns into an alleyway, carrying with him his trusted pistol, one which he was quickly to draw as he sees a young girl appear. Without saying word, he simply raised the pistol and pointed at her.
