Yoru then put the girl down gently. "Will that be all for today princess?" He could now tell that there was someone watching them, but he want to just let who him continued to think he hadn't noticed.

Nodding again, she smiled and ran to the till. "I'll pay for it now..." she told him, a little too small to reach the counter.
Nathan couldn't help but keep watching.

"It will be five dollars dear," Yoru told her as he rung her up. He glanced over to where Nathan was hiding. He would wait until the girl left to expose him.

She stretched out her hand and gave him the money before smiling and waving as she ran out to join her mother, who was waiting on a bench opposite the store's front door.
Nathan tried to slide backwards and pretend an interest for non-fiction books.

"Now then. The girl is gone so I believe there is no further reason for you to continue to hide from me. The girl called me a prince but I'm more of a demon."

Nathan froze, then dashed out from behind the book stand. He stared for a full minute, then shook his head wildly and put the books on the counter before backing away.
"Not your fault...can't do this...bye-!" He ran from the shop, terrified. It had broken him to watch Mao die, and he couldn't cope with that again - besides, no-one could replace Mao-chan.

Nathan's behavior was odd, but Yoru couldn't just run after someone he didn't really know.

Nathan stopped running once he reached a park bench. Barely noticing the fountain in front of him, he sat down and put his head in his hands.
He'd tried being a nurse, but all he saw whenever blood appeared as Mao's face. Lifeless.
He scrubbed his scalp, glancing around and noting that they were still following him. Pulling out a cigarette, he smelt it and rolled it between his fingers. He'd only ever lit one once, but he couldn't smoke. Just couldn't.
Like how you can't get involved with another demon... or anyone. They think you killed Mao. No-one else there...
He lurched to his feet and started walking again.

Any time Yoru would tune out the world around him, fragments of memories filled his mind. For a while now he'd been trying to piece them all together, but he couldn't. They never seemed to be his own memories, rather, someone else's. Or perhaps they were his. In those fragments, however who would have been him had a different face. Yoru despised not being able to remember anything. He wouldn't doze off and kept himself focused at all times. This however was beginning to become exhausting.

He found himself back outside Yoru's shop. With a groan, he squared his shoulders and went inside: if he explained, then Yoru could stay away and...
You won't kill him, too. Mao died for being with you. An Angel to his Demon. Deadly...
Nathan's shoulders and knees kept shaking, but he kept upright as he stood before the counter. "I'm sorry..."

"For? I do not judge people simply because they are odd. I am sure you must have your own reasons for doing whatever you do." Yoru barely payed any attention to Nathan as he was sitting reading a book.

Nathan stared at him, then fought the urge to snap at him. "I ought to be leaving..." he muttered, feet firmly planted and refusing to move for him despite the fact that he was glaring at them.
"Learnt this already... Angels can't mix with Demons..."

"Really now? And why ever not? I know plenty of angels and we all get along just fine. Of course, your opinion is yours and yours alone. I am no one in that matter and it is not my place to try to change that."

"Very happy for you, good that you get along with them... but I need to leave, if my feet will actually do what I want them to and move..." he grumbled, gritting his teeth and wondering why he couldn't move.

"Seems as if you body cares to stay. That would mean that deep down you would like to stay as well."
