"Wow,you sure have an appetite,Miss Aoi."Sky looks at the table;filled to the brim with every single afternoon food on the menu.

"Hey,Miss Aoi,mind telling me of why you're so sad?"

Aoi looks at Sky,slowing down after eating her food like a madman,"What makes you think I'm sad?"

"Well,the eyes,my dear,give away everything about a human.They are indeed the windows to the soul."Sky looks outside the window."Whether you are angry,happy or sad.You,Miss Aoi,are sad.The colour of your eyes further adds to the agonising appearance of your soul."

Aoi takes a bite from her pizza and wipes her mouth with her hand.'Is she even chewing?'Sky wonders."When you've stared death in the eye,hope seems out of reach."She gets back to eating.

"Death?"Sky stands,"So you have been on the verge of death?"

"Many times."Aoi chews,"Also about 20 minutes ago."

Sky takes off his blue glasses,"How,what happened?"

"I was fighting with an Oni.Luckily I had a vampire halfling and a Djinn by my side, Jaqueline and Rykyo."Aoi grabs a burger.

"A hybrid and a Demi god? Don't tell me those are your team mates."Sky hastily wipes his glasses.

"Who is your team?"

"Well, Zeihnan here,and my dear black eyed lover, Maline."Sky places his glasses inside it's case.

The case gets sucked into the watch on his wrist."Miss Aoi,I would like for you to spar with her."

"Sky,Aoi just went through 2 fights in under 20 minutes,and you..."

"I accept."Aoi stands."Where can I find her?"

Meanwhile...

"Fight,fight,fight,fight,fight!"Jaq and Rykyo cheer.

On the ring are two warriors standing on opposite ends.The corner on their right has a man with black hair,a red left eye and a green right eye.One of his arms is inside his jacket.

On the left is a 9feet tall lady with ginger hair and brown eyes.She took the stance of a sumo wrestler.

The girl springs herself from the floor,throwing a right fist,only to have it blocked by a right palm from her opponent.She throws a left...same outcome.She continuously alternates her fists at such a high speed that the crowd in the arena could only see blurs.

The ambiguous eyed boy calmly blocked every attack with the same free right hand.

"Such force!"Jaq pumps his right fist."Rykyo,we need to try this out.That guy is only human but his fighting a Nephilim like it's nothing."

*CHOP*

*GAH*

Jaq looks back at the fighting ring in awe,the giant was out,and the man stood triumphant."Boooooooo!"Rykyo flicks a middle finger at the boy.

'I wonder what's his issue.'Jaq stares a Rykyo."I wonder who is the next Fighters."

In the shadows,a pair of purple eyes shimmer.

They inch closer...and closer.Opposite the eyes,a figure emerges.Her hair and eyes are black and so is her dress.

When the purple pair of eyes left the shadows,the light revealed their owner.

"Aoi,what happened to you?"
