The lonely queen (Fukuro)

Aqua walks through the streets she was bored and alone. "I wonder where everyone is.." the road seemed empty.

Akuma had found the town off of a lead that would allow him to find out some more on his demon heritage. Though he wanted to know who in his family was demon, he was scared of finding those answers. However the town seemed to be desert for what ever reason. Akuma tuned a corner and saw another person in the seemingly abandoned city. Akuma walked over to the person rune embedded hand behind his back and cross slowly forming, couldn't be to careful after all.

"Hey, who are you?"

Aqua jumps slightly "oh hello my name is Aqua am the queen of this town.. Who are you? I haven't seen you around here before."

A queen, of a town? Akuma hadn't heard of a person being queen of just a town. Either way, Akuma bows before he says his name.

"The name's Akuma. Akuma Ippan. Most people just call me Fukuro though." Fukuro meant owl, and the name Fukuro suited him quite well, when people actually got to know him anyway. The cross had stopped forming before he bowed and it was gone by the time he had.

Aqua giggles lightly "You don't have to bow to me in this town.. In other ones you have too because there are soliders. So what are you doing here Fukuro?"

"Just looking for some history to put it simply" What he was saying was true but it wasn't near close to the entire truth.

Aqua smiles "Intresting what kind of history. Come with me."

"I'm looking for some of my families history." Akuma said following her.

Aqua smiles "well you can find any information you need at the castles library."

"Thank you. That may be helpful to me. May I ask why this town seems so empty?" Akuma was sure that Aqua may know why this town is empty. Akuma kept his rune embedded hand behind his back and let the cross start forming again. He learned in the past to never let a pretty face trick you.

Aqua sighs "this part of town is at the party.. i came here to make sure everyone was at the party.." she looks at him "Also there has been thiefs and murders running wild through here i wanted to make sure no one would be getting hurt today.."

"Really now? I think I could hold my own against a few thieves and murderers." It sounded prideful but nevertheless true. "What was that about a party again?

Aqua giggles "I threw the party to get my people to not fear.. i want them to know i wont let anyone hurt them.."

"That makes sense." Akuma's slight distrust in Aqua didn't show in his voice. The cross was almost completed by this point in time. Incase Aqua turned around and saw the slightly large metal cross behind his back he could try and kill her. But if she really was a queen that would end horribly, so he decided to make that a backup plan and go with a lie in stead.

Aqua smiles lightly "We're almost to the castle."

The castle was in view, but that didn't mean that it was hers. Akuma kept the cross behind him as they were getting closer to the castle.

When they reach the castle Aqua is greeted by soliders "Welcome back queen Aqua." Aqua nods and grabs Fukuros hand and drags him toward the library.

When they passed by the soldiers the cross was fully formed and from the looks of the cross it seemed as if it were a killing weapon rather than one of holiness. He was worried that the soldiers might think that he was trying to kill Aqua, which given the look of slight distrust he had on his face when they entered would make it only seem more like might kill her. The cross was disappearing as they were getting to the library, but because he was worried the rune stone reacted as such and the cross was disappearing at a much slower rate.

aqua smiles "I grabbed your hand so the soliders wouldnt attack you for having a weapon." she opens the door to the library.

"You noticed then..?" Akuma said looking behind him just incase, there was only two or three soldiers near the end of the hallway, and he could tell they were looking at him and his still disappearing weapon cross. He wasn't sure if they were only watching or if they were actually approaching him. His question was soon answered with hearing the armored boots pound against the floor towards them.

Aqua holds up her hand "go away everything is fine."

The soldiers soon back away, but not before one of them walks up to Akuma saying: "Watch yourself. If you do anything, none of us will hesitate to kill you." The soldier then walks off with the others following him.

"He certainly is... scary."

Aqua giggles "dont be to scared of them." she pulls him into the library.

From being pulled into the library so quickly he didn't have time to see something practically in front of him when he got into the library: a book shelf. Akuma ended up hitting his foot against the large book case, the price for never really wearing shoes. Akuma curses before he speaks again.

"I really need to start wearing those boots more often."

Aqua kneels next to him "Are you alright?" she giggles lightly.
