Shu followed the demon closely.

"So... Where's that sword...?" Shu asked. The demon looked back at him in shock.

"Will you spare me if I tell you!?" The demon asked. Shu rolled his eyes,

"Nah... Either way, you're dying here..." Shu said. The demon's eyes widened even more.

"Just tell me where it is, and your death might be a little more painless," Shu said. The demon stopped in his tracks. The demon then swung his club at Shu. Shu's eyes widened in shock, as he blocked the blow with his arm. Shu slid to the left a bid, regaining his footing.

"I'm going to kill you, why fight...?" Shu asked. The demon grits his teeth at Shu.

"Cause I have a family to protect and get home to!" The demon shouted with its eyes watery. Shu's eyes were covered in shadows by his bangs. He glared at the demon,

"You... A family...?" Shu muttered. Keiko ran over to Shu, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Y-Yes, if you tell us where the sword is, we'll let you go back to your family...!!" Keiko shouted. Shu's eyes widened in shock as he looked back at Keiko. Shu pushed Keiko to the ground.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!??" Shu shouted at her. Keiko stood up, looking Shu in the eyes.

"Can't you tell, this is just his job, he has people to go home to..." Keiko said. Shu grits his teeth,

"So did I... But they massacred my family..." Shu said. He looked back at Keiko.

"SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD I LET THEM LIVE??" Shu shouted. Keiko looked surprised. Shu threw the dagger at the ground. He turned looking up at the demon. He pointed one of his swords at the demon.

"Tell me where the sword is, then you're dead..." Shu said. The demon looked horrified,

"I-IT'S NOT HERE!! B-BUT THE GIRL WE HAVE IN THE OFFICES!! SHE KNOWS ITS LOCATION!!" The demon shouted. Shu sighed,

"We came all the way here just to find some random girl... Great..." He then stabbed the demon in the ears with both swords. Shu jumped down as the Demon's corpse fell on its back. He walked down the hall and Keiko followed.

"What about Ayumi...?" Keiko asked. Shu looked over at Ayumi looking dead on the ground.

"She looks dead... Leave her..." Shu said. Keiko looked back at Ayumi, pressing on her earpiece. The two then walked down the hall. A few minutes later, Shu, Keiko, Kamiko, Matsushima, and Lukas would meet in a dimly lit hallway.

"Where's Ayumi?" Kamiko asked. Keiko looked at the ground, trying to hold back tears. Shu looked straight at Kamiko. Kamiko nodded,

"I understand... Then I can probably assume the same for Seon and Muramoto?" Kamiko said. Matsushima looked shocked.

"We have a lead with the sword..." Shu said. Matsushima raised a brow,

"What do you mean...?" Matsushima asked. Shu sighed, looking over at Keiko.

"Tell them," Shu said. Keiko looked slightly surprised.

"Oh- Uhm, so this demon told us there's this girl they have captured in the offices..." Keiko said. Matsushima squinted his eyes in suspicion.

"How the hell are we so sure we can take this demon's word for it?" Matsushima asked. Shu shrugged,

"It doesn't matter, if we go there and the girl has no idea where the sword is, we can leave her to rot out here..." Shu said. Matsushima glared at Shu,

"Repeat what you just said..." Matsushima said. Shu looked at Matsushima,

"Leave her to rot out here...?" Shu repeated. Matsushima clenched his fists.

"Our role in the military is to protect human lives from Demon's... Not leave them out to die..." Matsushima said. Shu scoffed,

"I don't care about protecting others... My only purpose is to kill every single demon on this godforsaken planet we call Earth, I thought that's what our goal was here. I'll kill any demon in sight... No matter if they have a family or not... I'll take them away from what they took from me..." Shu said. Matsushima looked at Shu. Kamiko sighed,

"Whatever, let's head to the offices and find the girl... After that, we'll count our losses..." Kamiko said. Keiko nodded, clenching her fists. They would walk up a flight of stairs until they reached a door. The veins in Shu's leg glowed a light red as he kicked the door. The door flew toward the wall of a room as they walked in. Matsushima flipped a light switch but nothing happened.

"Why'd you flip the switch, this place has been abandoned for years...?" Lukas asked. Matsushima shrugged,

"Because the lights in the station were on..." Matsushima said. Lukas sighed,

"Never mind..." Lukas said. Kamiko sighed,

"it doesn't matter if the girl is there or not and if she knows where the sword is, let's just go..." Kamiko said. Matsushima sighed,

"What if we get overrun by demons...?" Matsushima asked. Shu sighed,

"Shut up... Let's go..." Shu said, walking toward the employee's only door. Matsushima would watch Shu, squinting his eyes a little. Shu would open the door, finding a flight of stairs. He'd walk up the stairs, as his knuckles glew a light red. He'd reach the top of the stairs, punching the door open. The door flew to the other end of the room, making a dent in the wall from the outside. Shu walked in, looking around. He walked around the room, until noticing a door in the side of the room. Everyone else walked in and Matsushima flipped the light switch. The lights would not turn on.

"Weird..." Matsushima said. Lukas raised a brow,

"What weird about it...? This building's been abandoned for nearly half a decade, of course, the lights aren't going to work..." Lukas said. Matsushima rubbed his chin,

"But the lights downstairs were working..." Matsushima said. Lukas facepalmed. Shu walked over to the door as the tips of his fingers glowed. He grabbed the door, pulling it out. He dropped it on the ground. Suddenly, a girl with long brown hair and brown eyes jumped at Shu, tackling him to the ground. She looked of Middle Eastern descent. She held a knife, threatening to stab Shu. Shu grit his teeth, kicking her in the stomach. She then stood up, kicking her in the face. She hit the wall, dropping the knife. Shu pulled out one of his swords, pointing it at her face.

"Hey... Who the hell are you... And why do you reek of Demon...?" Shu asked. She scowled at him,

"I could ask you the same thing..." She said, holding her hands up. Everyone else in the room looked shocked.
