Yamiyoru slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised and frightened, because he had realized that he's again in the room in the attic. This time he saw moonlight, not sunlight, though. The angel jumped up abruptly and moaned softly, clutching his right side.
"Do you want your wounds to open?" he heard Akumarou's voice.
He was sitting on the chair next to the bed. Angel looked at Shinohara with fear. The half-demon looked as if he had just woken up.
"What am I doing here?" asked Yamiyoru. "Did you follow me or something?"
"I found you in the park, I brought you here, I patched up your wounds, I took care of you and all, what are you asking about is if I followed you?" Shino was a little annoyed. "No, I didn't follow you. I just had this strange luck that I met you and could help you."
"I'm curious about one thing" started Yamiyoru. "If you're Akumarou, why do you act like you were normal human with bat wings?"
"Humans aren't like this" denied Shino. "Humans are cruel. Some person who I knew was more like an angel than a human."
"Who was that person?" asked Yamiyoru. "And why do you think that humans are cruel?"
"This person was my foster mum" explained Shinohara. "But my foster father killed her. Because of this I think that humans are cruel. I know more humans who would throw you foff the stairs rather than help you stand up."
"You killed someone. You wouldn't have wings, if..."
"I killed my foster father. And only him" said Shinohara.
"Only him?" the angel was confused.
"I'm not a serial killer, Yamiyo" said Shinohara.
"You shouldn't call me that" said Yamiyoru. "It's a short form of my name and we aren't friends. We don't even know each other."
"Are you still scared?" asked Shino.
The angel froze for a moment.
"I don't know" he replied after a while.
"If you were afraid, would you talk to me like that?" Shino asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Like what?"
"So casual" Shino explained. "You ask, I answer. I ask the question, you give the answer. This is called casual conversation. If you were afraid, you wouldn't ask or answer my questions. The conclusion is that you aren't afraid of me, and you even trust me, Yamiyo."
Yamiyoru looked at Shino. He blinked a few times. He was confused as heck.
"And I thought that demons aren't smart" said the angel after a long moment.
"Demons don't know how to dress up, but they're inteligent" said Shinohara. "And I am a half-demon, so I know how to dress up and I'm smart. So, you're still afraid of me, Yamiyo?"
