[center][h1][color=maroon] Akashi Sato: Emperor/Dagon[/color] [/h1] [/center] Akashi and Katie and a few other college students walked out of the wild wings restaurant. They were laughing and appearing to have a great time. Akashi stood there as the others were laughing about some joke that one of them made making fun of the golf coach at the university. He was giving a soft smile as he watched them. "Man, did you guys hear what Akashi did to that new guy?" One of the guys said as he put his arm around Akashi's neck. "This man right here absolutely demoralized and destroyed him. But that's what he gets though for challenging our ace, isn't that right Akashi?" [color=orange] "I mean he was never going to win, but maybe I could have done a bit more to not completely destroy him mentally" [/color] Akashi said with a soft smile as one of the girls shook her head. "Nah, you step up you better get ready to get knocked down, not your fault, that guy was a jerk anyway." "I swear though Akashi, it's like you can see the future or something, you almost always end up dropping folks on their ass." [color=orange] "Well, I don't know about that." [/color] Akashi seemed to move his hair away from his forehead as he chuckled. "Well, you are right, you also are just too fast especially in clutch time. It's like you flip a switch and things just start going right." The group laughed as Akashi chuckled scratching the back of his head. Soon the group began to slowly disperse and talk about the things that they have to do that day. "Hey, next game Akashi, I want to see you swat a 7 footer like that time you blocked that guy who was like what, 6 foot 7 or so?! That was insane to just see you coming out of nowhere and, BAM, smacked the SHIT out of that ball." [color=orange] "I will try! I make no promises though! But our game in a couple of days should be a good one, I hear Kansas City University is real tough and from what I've seen they will be. It should be a solid game." [i] It doesn't matter though[/i] [/color] [i] [color=maroon] I [/color] [color=orange] will [/color] [color=maroon] win [/color] [color=orange] at [/color] [color=maroon] all [/color] [color=orange] costs [/color] [/i] both Dagon and the Emporer thought at the same time. "Ah, Akashi, you crack me up." Katie said as she leaned on him a bit obviously intoxicated. "You guys are going to absolutely destroy, you always do, after all 'your orders are absolute' " she said in a mocking tone as she chuckled, then others seemed to chuckle a bit more nervously at the comment as they've all heard when he had said it at them. As the group dispersed more it eventually was just Akashi, and Katie as she used him as a crutch almost, "Akashi... I'm thirsty... can we stop somewhere to get a drink before we get back to the dorms?" Akashi would simply nod before speaking to her. [color=orange] "Sure, Katie, we gotta get you sobered up anyway. Can't have you drunk and walking around campus." [/color] He'd say patting her on the back gently before bringing his hand back down to his side. "Oh I don't have to worry about anything Akashi, not with you around, besides you'll just freak em out or beat them up, I know you will." She gave a yawn as she leaned on him a bit heavier. "You are a good friend." What in the world was going on here this was not like Akashi, and even Dagon was not used to being complimented like that. What just an odd day, it almost as if someone had started a story about his life, but that's too ridiculous, today just felt off, he couldn't put a finger on it, maybe fate was messing with him and was about to put something in his way. He and Katie both walked into a small corner store. He walked to the back as Katie finally decided to walk on her own and start moving. Akashi was having a bit of an issue as he grabbed his head and leaned on the glass of the fridge in the back. He seemed to take a deep breath as he shook his head whispering, [color=orange] "Fine, but only because you are literally relentless and I'm tired of fighting tonight but know if you mess with her or hurt her, I will hurt the both of us" [/color] He seemed to mumble right as Katie looked over at him and ran over to him. "Akashi, are you okay?" she shook him a bit, "Hun, are you not feeling well?" As she did this they did not have any idea what was happening up front as a man had walked in and pulled a gun on the lady at the register. The scream seemed to alert Katie though as she looked over and knelt down and tried to whisper, "SHIT Akashi! Get down!" But Akashi wouldn't go down he seemed to be struggling hard as she shook him and spoke, "Akashi you are scaring me, and I need you to get down so we don't get shot!" She exclaimed in the quietest whisper he could muster. "YOU ARE ONE OF THEM AREN'T YOU!?" The clerk yelled as the man just spoke in a grumbled voice. Akashi looked up now as he saw his reflection he looked into the two different colored eyes, one red, one orange, and he grabbed the Gatorade as he walked by Katie and picked up her drink. "Akashi! AKASHI WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" she began to try to yell in the quietest she could. Akashi walked up to the counter as the man with the gun suddenly turned to look at Akashi, he was a balding man, maybe in his 40s. with teeth as sharp as a crocodile's and his mouth almost as big as one as well. [color=maroon] "Step aside" [/color] Akashi said without looking the man in the eye as he put his drink and Katie's drink on the counter. The man turned and pointed the gun at Akashi, "Who the hell do you think you are; as if I am just going to say 'okay' and step out of the way. Put your damn Ha-" Akashi's head shot up as he looked the man square in the eye, a red circle appearing around his iris' as the man seemed to stop in his tracks and staring directly into his eyes. Akashi spoke. [color=maroon] "You misunderstand, I was not asking, that was an order, and my orders... are absolute." [/color] he'd say as he reached up and grabbed the gun out of the man's hand by this time people were starting to record what was going on now. Akashi b brought his hand up and pushed on th3e man's shoulder, and the man began to slowly move down as Akashi continued. [color=maroon] "Only those subservient to me can speak like that to me without lowering their gaze." [/color] he had pushed the man nearly effortlessly and slid the gun toward the clerk who had it in her hand. The man finally came to his senses as his eyes lost contact with Akashi's and he found himself sitting on the ground. He looked around and went to fire his gun only realizing it was no longer there. He looked at the clerk who was pointing the gun at the would-be robber. The robber stood up and raised his hand and looked at the two people as he opened his mouth to speak but wound up moving forward to try and bite Akashi. Akashi moved out of the way as he simply tripped the man causing him to hit the floor. The store clerk closed her eyes and fired at the same time as it hit nothing as the man had fallen and the bullet passed right where he was originally standing. There was a loud scream as the sound of shattering glass could be heard. The robber now shot to his feet and ran out of the front door trying to cover his face as Akashi moved in front of the clerk and put some money on the front and started to walk away with the drinks and handed one to Katie who seemed to be in shock. "What..... how? But... you? Did you... what the fuckin... fuck, how the fuck did you just fuckin, fuck, FUCK" she started screaming out as Akashi turned to her and put his hands on her shoulders. [color=maroon] "Katie, it's alright, it's just neuro-linguistic programming mixed with a bit of hypnosis." [/color] he'd say with a slight smile, [color=maroon] "Calm yourself. I know that was scary but you never have to worry with me around. It's like you said, I'll just creep people out... or beat them up." [/color] He gave her a comforting smile as she took a deep breath. "You are right, that was very scary, I just... I Just was freaking out and I don't know what I thought, to be honest. I'm happy you were there to help though!" She said as she gave Akashi a hug, "Maybe you can help m-" [color=maroon] "I am helping you get home, don't worry once you are back in the dorm I will head back to my own place to sleep." [/color] he'd say flatly. "Right..." She said rather in a disappointed voice. "Yeah that's what I meant after all!" Little did Akashi know the video of him dealing with the robber was being uploaded, with full sound and everything, the police were shortly going to be heading to the college to ask him a few questions about what had happened. [i] [color=orange] Maybe you were right maybe fate really was messing with us to end up in that spot... we are gonna have to be more careful if we see things like that coming we need to try to see what it could be before being to rash. [/color] [/i] [i] [color=maroon] Need I remind you who was the one that got so relaxed. Moreso than just that though, you are lucky I was in control, give up trying to handle things when it comes to people. You only are go-" [/color] [/i] [i] [color=orange] I am you idiot, don't tell me to be careful when I am literally you, and have you forgotten, I'm the one who actually keeps people liking us. [/color][/i] [i] [color=maroon] Then explain why I need you if I can comfort people like Katie who you are so intent on keeping as- [/color] [/i] [i] [color=orange] Comforting her is not the same and you know it. Jusgt accept the fact that you n feed me, or you are all alone. [/color][/i] [i] [color=maroon] I don't need anyone... I am absolute.[/color][/i]
