Setsumi squinted her eyes the moment david looked over his shoulder. Was he ignoring her now? What was he looking at? Setsumi's mind raced as she tried to make sense of all that had just conspired from the moment she realized her big mouth had spoken for her brain...again.

However, without trying to be rude, Setsumi stood up on her tip-toes to try and glance over David's shoulder. Her curiosity getting the best of her, but her determination aka, stubbiness, paid off when she managed to get glimpse of what he was so uptight about. Her brow wrinkled when she realized that it was the adults, pointing and gossiping among themselves. How rude! Setsumi huffed, knowing good and well David was only trying to help.

She was about to say something when David turned back around. Her cheeks flushed, embarrassed that she might have been caught snooping; so she quietly got down off her tip-toes. Eyes widen as she listened to him about the tattoo.

She had no idea that Nihil camps even existed... So at that moment, it felt like her heart had sunk deep within her chest. Now unsure of what of what to say or even really how to react to such a thing. It was like she was having an out of body experience, observing quietly to herself as he s dribbled his number on a piece of paper. What could she say to him now... Setsumi's gaze lowered to her hands. She didn't know what real suffering or pain was really like. She had grown up in a safe, sheltered environment. Not really exposed to the Covenant or the Nihil. She probably would of still been blinded on what was going on of it wasn't for that talking voodoo black cat back at the ice rink.

When he goes to hand her the piece of paper, she gives him a warm smile. " I didn't know the Nihil had camps, if I had known, I would not have asked... I'm sorry you went threw such a thing, but if it means anything, I'm glad you survived and are no longer in such a place... So so so that way our paths could have crossed today."

Her tone sweet and sincere, but the smile did not last long. Her eyes widen when she notices the dull glow. Wait...the glow was coming from David?! Setsumi jumped, startled at the sight, her hands immediately patting her jacket pockets. Desperate to locate the pen the Satan cat had given her. Wait, she didn't need to transform. This was a civilian right? Setsumi thought, shaking her head and reaching out to grab a hold of David's hands.

" oh gosh are you okay?! " Setsumi asked, her tone slightly panicked but she didn't raise her voice, not wanting to cause more of a scene. She was trying her best not to assume the worst, her imagination running wild with ideas of weird experimentations and torture that the covenant had inflicted upon him. Her concern building as as she examined over him.[/b]

Why was Setsumi so concerned about him? Yes, she was obviously nice and caring, but wasn't this a little out of character for normal people? Wasn't everyone in the world just looking out for number one? As he tried to shield his eyes from her sight, tried to keep her from seeing the glow, he knew in the long run it would be pointless. She had already learned about his involvement with the Camps. What more could it hurt?

"Hey, you!" a voice from behind them boomed. David refused to turn around, feeling the weight of a finger jabbing at him. "You bullied my son! What kind of priest are you?" As the young man tried to push away, taking a few steps forward with Setsumi, the hand mashed down on his shoulder, spinning him around.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you-" the voice started, before the parent was cut off.

Yinko's dead, darkly glowing eyes stared into the man, piercing his vision. No words were spoken. Instead, the priest kept the cold orbs locked, pupils vacant, the blue glow intensifying. He could feel the man's hands loosen, them tumble to his sides, arms limply hanging as if he were asleep.

"Take your children," Yinko's omnipresent, booming voice started, echoing in the recesses of their minds. "Take them, and leave."

The man trudged away, a slight trace of drool slipping down his jaw. The remaining onlookers followed suit, refusing to turn their backs on him. In the deepest recesses of David's mind, he felt a sense of pride. It had been some time since he inspired this level of fear, of deadly respect. With everything that had gone wrong since he had arrived in Tokyo, he now had the Venus Sword, he had realized his full metamorphosis into a knight, and now... he was back in control.

But, he realized, feeling the presence of the girl behind him, was that really enough?

Squeezing his eyes shut, David clenched his teeth, turning back to the girl, and bowing slightly. "I'm sorry," he replied. "There have been... complications lately." Even when he rose to his full height, he kept his eyes shut. He'd just ripped into that man's brain, and made him stumble away like a zombie. He couldn't, and wouldn't, do the same to Memiko.

Setsumi's eyes were wide like a deer caught in the head lights. Her body tensed in a matter of  seconds once the angry parent stormed over to defend his son. The father was obviously pissed at David, whom he assumed was the assailant. A common mistake, but one that caused Setsumi to frown at the angry father, who spun David around out of demand for respect and attention. Which forced Setsumi to to withdraw and only watch. Not wanting to make matters worse by correcting the upset father when he was still yelling.

Setsumi had just opened her mouth to say something when David intergected and spoke up. Her brow raised at David's new commanding voice, which sounded nothing llike the David she met earlier. His tone cold and some what scary as he demanded the father to leave and take his children.

Setsumi's knees began to trimble and shake as she watched in silence. Her attention focused on David as he turned around and then addressed her. His eyes were closed and his head held low as he appologized to her. That parent had walked away drooling! Why apologize to her when obviously there was something not right with that adult who just walked away with his kids..Was that because of David's glowing eye thing? Setsumi pondered, her knees still shaking out of nervous habit. However, she didn't run or turn away from David. Even if her body language screamed out saying she wanted to run. 

She refused and instead stepped a little closer to David. Her hands rumbling through her jacket pockets until she pulled out a napkin and pen. She scribbled her number on the napkin along with something else before putting away the pen. Then with trembling hands, Setsumi grabbec hold of Davids hands and placed the napkin with her number and a small little saying under the quickly scribbled numbers.

' Don't appologize , smile.' 

Those were the words that were written on the napkin as Setsumi pulled her hands away. The tips of her fingers cold to the touch. 

" It's okay David. You are not a bad guy. " Setsumi spoke in a soft, meek tone. A small smile appearing on her lips. " Thank you for telling me about your tattoo, though I'm sad it is painful for you." Setsumi continued, her eyes glancing down at her watch. 

"oh no I'm going to be late for work!!" Setsumi gasped, now realizing what time it was.

As he felt the napkin pressed into his hands, David clamped down on it, fingers gripping it tight as he cracked his eyes open ever so slightly. The faint traces of intense daylight cut through the darkness, a hint of blue glow still emanating from the orbs. His eyes widened, only to see the girl apologize, and start off.

Only when she had left, did he look down at the napkin, reading the message. An odd, tingling sensation registered in his stomach, along with a slight lifting of weight. He re-read the comment on the napkin over and over, ignoring the setting sun, the onset of the winter cold, and the retreating crowds.

Yes, he thought... he would call her. Of course, as the sun sank behind the horizon, an odd thought crossed his mind. Why were her hands so cold?
