The pain of the past to unlock the future

she gave him a weird look, "that's odd not many people do that. what was his name? do you know?" she asked

"No, I don't know his real name but he goes by the name "Devil's Shadow" Said to be the best of their best." said the guard then he took another big drink of ale.

"alright i'll make sure to watch out for him." she replied

"If you see him, do not go to him." warned the now drunk guard, "They say his eyes can look into your very soul and can read minds...kinda sounds like that son of a bitch..." he said, meaning Mastermind.

Reika laughed softly, "yeah it does......oh well." she said

"Well, its time you close up now." the guard stood up, surprisingly strudy on his feet, "You take care now, see yes?"

"alright! you too and tell Yunho i said hi." she said with a smile as she started cleaning.

"I will!" He said as he left the bar, walking like he wasn't drunk but you could smell the ale on his breath.

reika laughed and sighed as she went and locked the front door as the last person left, and continued cleaning

There was a knock on the front door, "Help open up!" said a frantic voice.

Reika quickly went to the door and unlocked it and pulled it open slightly, "what is it?" she questioned.

"there is a man in the graveyard and looks like he is dead!" said a frantic woman.

"alright take me to him...." she said. as she walked out and shut the door locking it behind her

The woman nodded and hurry to the graveyard. "It's this way." she said as they came closer to where she saw the man but they were getting closer to Jeramey's grave..

Reika followed and noticed this but stayed quiet.

As they got closer and closer, the dim light from the candle shined to let them see the man whom leaned on Jeramey's grave...it was Kyodai.

Reika gasped and ran to him, "Kyodai?! are you ok?" she asked shaking him

Kyodai didn't wake up but he was cold as ice. "I'll go get a doctor." said the woman then ran off to find one.

"Kyodai! please answer me...please. "she said setting his head on her lap and rubbed his arms trying to warm him up, "please answer....."

Kyodai began to stir, "Reika?" he said, his eyes half open, "Where am I?..." he said, on the back of Kyodai's head, it was bleeding which means...he was hit over the back of the head, "I was walking back home...when I was knocked out...why am i here again?"

"i don't know but we need to get you to a doctor...and fast." she said trying to stop the blood she felt.

Suddenly, a man appeared in a mist of shadow. He had vibrant green eyes and midnight black hair. He stared down at the 2 calmly then raised a brow, "I don't see what's so special about a tavern girl that they would try and kill him..." said the man, almost mockingly.

she glared at the man, "who the hell are you?! are you the one who did this?!" she demanded the information

"Oh sorry." He said but you just knew he wasn't really sorry, "I am Jack A Deviant...or you may know me as the "Devil's Shadow" but I am no longer that person...anyways, I was ordered to come over and see what the trouble was with the 2 waring clans, my clan...well my old clan, and our rivals. The Hidoshi Thief Clan."

"you didn't answer my question damn it!" she yelled to him, almost completely ignoring him
