After saying that he jumped before I could say anything, I expected he must have gone to his house first, so I went there. When I got there, his father was already dead, and the house was scattered with a broken window. I was scared; I didn't know what to do.
I decided to go home and act like nothing happened, but after a few weeks, there have been missing people, traces of blood, and some parts of the human body.
_HINATA'S FLASHBACK ENDS_
_KAKASHI'S P.O.V._
"I'm sorry I kept this away from you. Please," Hinata cried. It must have been hard for her, knowing that her best friend was the one killing people. "I knew if I told you, you would have reported it to the academy. And I just don't want Tomura to die."
"What?!!!!, There have been reports of it for two weeks; why did you not say anything about it?. We would have kicked some demon butt," I shouted at her.
"No, dummy, you came yesterday, and even though we were here, we won't be the ones to dispatch it," Ayaka reminded me.
"Please, please, save Tomura. He is the only friend I have, please," she pleaded with me.
"I will save him, and he is not your only friend," she said, surprised. I squatted in front of her and gently patted her head. "I'm also your friend, aren't I?"
"Yes. Yes, you are. Thanks," Hinata smiled.
"Sorry about my partner" Ayaka said addressing Amai. "We will be taking our leave."
"Okay, I'll walk you to the door" Hinata offered. We walked to the door and met Yaze outside.
"I believe you have all the information we need," Yaze asked.
"Yes, Yaze sensei," Ayaka replied. We decide to walk back and do some sightseeing before going back to the academy. Hinata held my hand.
"Hmm, Kakashi, I need to ask you a favor."
"What is it?"
"Please, next time you come to visit, will you stay longer?"
"Of course, I'll even take you somewhere special, just for both of us," I smiled.
"Kakashi, we don't have forever," Ayaka called out. She ruined my chances to look cool. I walked to her, and we both left.
"Where is Yaze?" I asked.
"He left for the academy to submit the report, and he said we were free for the rest of the day," she replied.
That cheat, he let us do the work only for him to run and report it. Natski would think we were joking around.
"Kakashi, what do you mean by somewhere special for both of you?"
"Where are we going?" I asked curiously trying to change the subject. I don't even know where to take her to, I just hopes she forgets about it.
"Hey!, Don't change the subject." Ayaka quickly calmed down. "Maybe it's none of my business. There is a café I always wanted to go to if I got a chance to come to Shinjuku."
"You mean you have never come here or you are too busy?" I asked.
"No, I'm actually from China, but my father lives in Kyoto."
"I heard that there is another ASE academy in Kyoto and China; why didn't you go to any of them?"
"Each school specializes in different things; there is one in China that specializes in sword technique, while the one in Kyoto specializes in all types of divine and dark technique. Most humans go to the sword technique academy."
"Then the one we attend specialize in what?"
"Close and long-range combat," she replied. "Japan is the only country with two Academies and three on the continent. Each continent has one ASE academy."
"That's pretty neat."
We stopped at the café and bought some snacks. We left a few minutes later. We went to the park and bought some ice cream.
"Wow, it's so good!" Ayaka said it joyfully, with her tail wagging.
"Ayaka?" I called out. "Are they real?"
"What?"
"Your ears and tail?"
"Why don't you see for yourself?" She turned around, happily wagging her tail. Unknown to her, I can also see her panties.
"It's pink!" Shit!, That slipped out of my mouth.
"What pink?" She asked. She suddenly realized it. "Ahhhhhh, pervert. You were looking under my skirt."
"I wasn't looking; it just happened to get my attention." I said. "Besides, it's your fault for wearing a leggings you can easily see through and show it to a boy"
"Pervert!!!, Get away from me." She was starting to get angry. I looked at her tail, which was slowly wagging. I think she's happy about what I did. I got tempted and held it. She moans. "Hey! I didn't say you could touch it."
"Wow!!" I looked at my hand; it really felt real." It's so soft.
"Of course it is. I do take care of my body." She got over it quickly.
"Can I touch your ears too?" I asked.
"Noo," Ayaka said, her face was pumping like a balloon and was turning red . She looks so cute, and for a reason, I was glad she was my partner.
"So, how did you end up with this?" I asked, choosing my words carefully. "Like, did your dad do it with a cat, or what?"
"What do you mean by that?" She yelled. "Of course not. I was possessed by a cat spirit; I didn't like it at first but slowly we were both able to understand each other. And now, it's part of me."
"What????"
"The spirit boosted my physical and mental capabilities and also my karma capacity," Ayaka announced proudly. "It made me feel special, like I was chosen or something."
"Seem pretty dumb to me"
"What did you say?!!"
"No!, Nothing!!"
We kept chatting when suddenly she said she needed to excuse herself. I agreed, and she gave me her ice cream and left.
A strange man walked up to me and was staring at me. I thought he was hungry, so I gave him my ice cream since I couldn't give him Ayaka's, but instead he held my hand. I tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong.
"Umm, sir, I will appreciate it if you let go."
"Kakashi Yami, you've grown bigger than I expected."
"How do you know my name?"
"How?" He sat down beside me, still holding my hand. "How can you forget me so easily? Perhaps you won't recognize me in my new body."
"Kakashi, you won't believe..." Ayaka came yelling.
"Ayaka, stop," I called out to her before she got any closer to us.
"Kakashi, who is he?"
"I'm impressed; you are still able to act fast," he said. "I guessed I thought you well, after all."
I looked at him again; he was a perfect match for the description that Hinata gave us. But for some reason, his body build was different from what you'd expect from an eight-year-old.
"What do you want?, Tomura asked.
"Honestly, I don't..." Yaze came from nowhere and punched him away from me. He turned and stood on his feet.
His hair was black, and his skin was dry, with cracks all over his body revealing red scale underneath. He was wearing black shorts and a cloak. He took off the cloak and threw it away.
"Yaze, you came," he said happily, and he took a careful look at him and frowned.
"How did Yaze get here?" I asked Ayaka as she helped me up.
"That's not Yaze Sensei; it's a clone, and I guessed he already figured it out."
"I think that is Tomura; he matches the description that Hinata gave us, but I think something's different."
"Like what?"
"I don't know, but he seems familiar." I stood up, ready to fight. "I promise Hinata that I'll stop him, and that's exactly what I'll do."
