Yuriel stand right next to Kim as they are walking. Kim rest his cheek on the palm of his hand thinking of what he should tell Yuriel.
"Should I tell her about my last world? No I don't know how to about that, how about my life? Erm, certainly not. How about Vas and Luc? I got so many good moment for them."
He pander to himself, Yuriel glances at him for a second before looking straight ahead.
Kim turned his head toward Yuriel, just as he was about to speak. Yuriel is the one to spoke first.
"Y'know Kim. When I first saw you hiding behind your friend, for some reason I have the feeling of hating you."
Kim narrowed his head toward the ground, there was a look of shame in his expression before chuckling awkwardly to himself.
"I suppose I can't blame you, I not fond of myself either."
Kim said, with a sadden tone of voice. Yuriel looked at him with a sad sight, she let out a long sighed before speaking.
"I agree, the moment I met you. I have a feeling you loath yourself and because of that I come to hate you. You felt like a character rather than a person, a story full of all the predictable plots. You are a 2D character, no value, little emotion, you tend to go along with the plot yet with no build up, just wandering aimlessly."
Kim stood silent for a moment, his hand fidgeting a little. His body posture was a little hunch, he stares at the ground while his legs were walking.
"Wow… everything you just said sum up me. You're right, I have no depths, no volume, if a person were to come up and asks me who I am. I would just stand there for all of eternity trying to think and muster out even a fraction of who I'm supposed to be. When reading a book, I sometime think to myself that even the background character have more depths and emotion than me…"
Kim, the character who just agree with everybody, though he do think and do have a thought. There isn't much role in that, he don't do it. He overcome just because the plot demands for it not because of his skills.
Yuriel and Kim walking in silence for a moment, Yuriel look down at the ground.
"Kim, you think so little of yourself that you begin to believe that, I also thought the same until I spend more time with you."
Kim bewildered raised his head to look at Yuriel, he saw a bright and gentle smile starting back.
"After spending some time with you, I was wrong. You do have depths, you're more of a person than what you actually think. People tend to hate themselves more than loving themselves but when we were fighting that spider creature, you were afraid yet you choose to save me and lured the spider away from me."
They continue to walked down the long darkness, Kim was compelled to speak for while. Harboring every single emotion inside of him.
"Yuriel Youno."
The sudden words caught Kim attention, turning his head toward Yuriel.
"Huh?"
"That's my name, Yuriel Youno, 20 year old. Now what about you?"
Kim took a couple of steps before stopping, his eye locked with Yuriel. Her amethyst pupil glow lightly. With a smile, he slowly opened his mouth,
"Kim. Kim Mugen, that's my name, 19 year old."
Yuriel took a steady steps, she walks and walk. Kim followed her but eventually got ahead of her and lead the way.
"Kim, now tell me something about yourself. Not about your friends or someone else but something that is about you, tell me something about 'Kim Mugen' story."
Kim looked at Yuriel stunned, he thought of talking about his friend rather than himself. So how did Yuriel know what he was thinking?
"How did you know I was going to talk about them?" He asked.
Yuriel looks ahead and smiles.
"I can read you like a book and speaking of books, you said you like reading right? Why not talk about that?"
She said, her words echoed throughout the small dweller space. Their footsteps make a click and a clunk noise. Kim tells Yuriel all of the novel and books he has read, though he did leave out some parts of it. The two continue to walk while they chat.
…
Kim smile gradually fainted a little, his eyes was looking down at the ground.
"You know, early when you told me that I have depths and all that, a friend said something similar. He said that, instead of me holding in my emotion, I should express it instead."
Yuriel look at Kim then smile.
"That friend of you're talking about, Vas am I right?"
Kim stare back at Yuriel somewhat shock. She guessed what he had thought off before.
"How did you know it was him?"
He asked, waiting for a response. Yuriel tap hide pointy finger on her chin then opened her mouth.
"Easy. I could read you like a book. Also for some reason, I could tell that yall drive eachother crazy for fun."
She said with a cheeky smile before looking foward to see a dim light ahead of them.
"Kim, is that the village you were talking about?"
She pointed ahead, looks look in the direction and nods his head, he speed up a bit. He walked past Yuriel and got in front of her.
He saw demons roaming around the red fleshy streets. There were some stench lingering around the air but Kim and Yuriel brush it off.
Walking side by side, Kim went up to a random demon and asks if there any hospitals around.
"Eugh, another human? There's no such thing as a hospital here, stop speaking nonsense and get away from me before I kill you."
The demon said before purposely bumping into Kim and walked away like nothing happen.
"I just asks him a question. That was quite rude." Kim thought to himself. He saw another demon and turned to her, hesitat to walk up to the demon due to early interaction.
He took two deep breaths before advancing and asking the girl demon if there any healing station.
"It's for my friend over there."
Kim said as he pointed his finger to Yuriel, with a look of concerned in his eyes.
The demon rolled her eyes and scoffed at Kim.
"Just look around, stupid humans."
She said as she walked away from Kim. Yuriel walks up to Kim and tap his backs.
"Well, the demons aren't very fond of human. They're mostly known for killing and mass destruction."
Yuriel said trying to cheer Kim up. Kim slant his body toward Yuriel.
"I guess but we asks like two demons, both replies aren't what we're looking for."
He looked around to see gazes looking at them.
"And we clearly aren't welcome, I mean just looked at them staring at us with the intent to kill."
He said. Then a hooded figure approaches them, the figures was the same height as Yuriel. It took a look at Yuriel and check her body, it noticed her wound and the fire plug that's blocking the blood from rushing out.
The strange figures moved away from Kim and Yuriel, Yuriel backs away from the figure feeling somewhat uncomfortable. The figure started mumbling to itself as it begins walking away.
"Why did these idiots come here? They should just leave already, look at them. One of them is seriously injured, *tch* why did I even bother checking them? Telling them a way out is troublesome."
Kim puzzled, stood frozen.
"What's the point of that interaction? Why did that hooded figure came up to us, check on Yuriel, which was creepy. And then left! What's going on in this village?"
He thought to himself before running up to Yuriel asking if she was okay. She nods, Kim could felt that she was a bit uncomfortable by that.
Kim tap Yuriel shoulder, comforting her a little before walking towards the main street of the village. They wander around the streets asking passersby demons for any healing stations but they all get shoo away.
"Damn it. The people here are rudes, even the kids are rude!"
Yuriel sat down near a bench, Kim proceeded to say next to her.
"Like I said, the demons hate the human race but the facts that they aren't attacking us is questionable. I wonder why is that?"
Kim shrugged to Yuriel question, he looks to the side of his right. He saw three young demons circling around one demons that was on the grounds.
"It appears that he's getting bully, man it don't even matter. We need to find a station and fast-"
He turned his head to Yuriel but didn't see her, he looks back at the young demons and saw her walking towards them.
He got up from his spots and catches up with Yuriel.
"What are you doing?"
Kim said. Yuriel took a quick glances at him before looking what's in front of her.
"Helping that young demon."
"But you're hurt also the demon here are rude asf, let just leave him alone!"
Yuriel stops before looking at Kim, she took two long breaths before she starts walking again. Kim followed her.
"Kim, I'm not that weak, I could hold my own against kids also I'm a bit disappointed in you hearing that coming out of your mouth."
…
"You're weak lil bro, you halfbirth! What a failure for your mother to birth out a failbirth."
"You should kill yourself, f*cking half human half demon, what a f*cking monkey!"
"Who does this monkey think he is walking around town? Just his presence alone pissed me off!"
The demons offensively said to the demon that was getting stomped to the floor, he looked up at them, eyes filled with rage.
"What's the difference between me and you guys? I'm a demon as well!"
He cried out. One of the three demon grabs his hair. He drags it around before pulling the pummel demon face close to his.
"The difference between me and you is that you have monkey cells in your blood, you halfbirth. Meanwhile us, we got the full superiority of the demon bloods. Haha~"
"You think so huh?"
The voice was coming from behind the demon back. He turned around to see Yuriel cracking her fingers. Kim saws that some of the blood leaks from the hole and ripped off his right arm cloth. He wrapped it around Yuriel until the bleeding stops.
"Why didn't I think of this earlier?"
Kim thought to himself. Yuriel pulled out her gauntlet ready to pound the kids. Seeing this, the three demon shrieks in fear.
"You monkeys are always the same, stupid, stupid, monkey!!!"
Yuriel giggled a bit before telling them to beat it or 'else' The demons trembled at her sights and ran away.
"Once a monkey, always a monkeys. I hate them, f*cking monkeys. Get out of this town!!!"
One of the demons yelled out as he ran away with his tail between his legs. Yuriel let out one long sighed before putting her gauntlet away, she turned tot he demon that was on the ground and offered him a helping hand.
The demon glanced at her then onto her hand, he reach out for it but not to grabs it but to slaps it away from him. He got up from his spots and rubbed away the tears that was on his face.
"Leave me alone, you m-monkeys!"
He proceeded to run away. Yuriel sighed slowly turning her head toward Kim.
"Such foul language."
