Hiroyuki Nomora
Hiro turned around to see a girl standing there. A much shorter girl—but then again, he’d always thought of himself as freakishly tall, so he had no way of telling whether she was normal height or just plain short—with tattoos coating her entire body. Eh. How strange. Personally, he didn’t have anything against body art. In his other form—the one he couldn’t access anymore due to complications—he’d had one or two tattoos. His current human body had none. But really, seeing so many on one person, he was quite shocked and at a loss for what to think. Perhaps he really was turning into an old man. Kids these days.
But this wasn’t a kid. It was easy to tell just by looking at her. This was a demon, perhaps a demon even older than he was. And that was saying something. And an older demon generally meant an experienced demon. Just how strong was this girl? He was dying to know. Hiro’s eyes glinted maliciously, looking her over as if to gauge just how much ability she had. He vaguely wondered if they were on the same side. Really, it didn’t matter. He worked for the good guys as of now, but to be honest he couldn’t have cared less who took home the prize at the end of the day. But don’t tell Koenma that. But if they weren’t on the same side, they’d get to fight. That would be either a good, or bad thing depending on how strong she was. Not that he could tell. She was masking her power level.
Smart girl.
He thought he saw a little of himself in her.
Or his former self, at least.
Sadly, he didn’t have to mask his aura much. He wasn’t what he used to be. In his current state, most of his powers had been either lost or were beyond his realm of use until he figured out how to reclaim them. Which was bound to be a while. So in the mean time, he’d be forced to remain a sad little ‘C’ class demon. A demon temporarily unable to even access demon form due to restraints on his power level. Sigh. He wasn’t going to be able to get used to being a weakling. But at least it had the side effect of masking his identity from Koenma. Ah well, he’d always figured that a sharp mind was more important than power level. Even if he wasn’t capable of punching out foes in this state, he had a feeling he could think circles around them. Perhaps that was overconfidence speaking, but he wasn’t willing to believe anything else until somebody proved him wrong.
And that was unlikely.
Anyway, this girl went on to speak. She did so with a wry little smile that reminded his something of a fox, but also something of a more dangerous creature. Maybe a piranha. Was this girl a piranha demon? Not likely. Looking at her was setting off an alarm in his head. She was probably a fire demon. Ick. He hated fire demons. Plants weren’t that much help against them. Part of him wondered what she meant by that smile. She wasn’t flirting, was she? If so, that would no doubt be awkward later.
Hiro suppressed the urge to start laughing at the thought, but was unable to keep himself from smiling back at her.
“I’m not entirely sure where I’m headed.” He admitted. He’d play her game. For now, at least. It might be fun. And he’d been bored for far too long.
“So I suppose we may in fact be going in the same direction.”
