Bokutachi wa Akuma: Chapter Eight (Shiroyuki)



It was raining, hard. The forecast had called for light mist and partial clouds, they were wrong once again. Over 70mm of rain had fallen already, and it had not even been raining a few hours yet; this was something close to a monsoon season, if the country ever got one. Leaning the clear, plastic umbrella over his shoulder, a young male was stuck walking from one destination to the other. In weather like this, it was a person’s best option to walk, the streets almost moved slower then the sidewalks. The flooding streets splashed high under the tires of cars when they could advance forward.

Next to all the other umbrellas, this young man’s rose higher then most, but only by a few inches. Though he carried an umbrella, his golden brown hair was moist from the rain, misting up from the others around him. The mist in his hair made it stick to his feminine face. As he parted his lips, he took in a slow, deep breath of fresh, moist air letting out a long sigh.

The young feminine male wore sophisticated clothing. A fitted black blazer over a simple white t-shirt, his long thin legs were hugged perfectly by dark washed jeans which looked to be made of real denim. A silver linked chain hung from one side of his pants, completing his casual, yet classy look. It did not matter what footing he wore, expensive and classy or casual and comfortable, they would have still been soaked by the time he got to his destination.

Home was his final destination, he had gone out for a few errands, but this nonstop downpour had cut all down his long errands into short, brief stops. The young male had glimpses shot up at him every now and then from passer-byers who were all distracted from their focus off the ground. His glowing golden skin was smooth and flawless, which made others double take him for his beauty.

The man pulled out his super phone, a cell phone that had more features than anyone could ever imagine of using, and opened up his messages. As he walked he text quickly, looking up once and a while in order to not bump into any cranky people who were having to endure this horrible weather as ever one else did, walking.
“Hey Kanon, I couldn't get your book, they didn't have any copies left. Sorry man.” Then male looked up again, slipping his cell phone into his blazer pocket to keep it from getting wet.

Off in the distance a crash was heard, echoing through the streets making everyone look around, spiking their curiosity. The feminine, yet masculine male looked up and around as well, looking to see which direction the noise could have come from.
A vibration moved against his hand, making him pull out his phone to look at it.
“That's fine Shiroyuki, just get home before you catch a cold.” The male smiled and slipped his phone back in his pocket, listening to his friend and trying to get home as fast as he could.

Shiroyuki walked by a small scene of two people talking in the middle of the road, holding newspapers over their heads. There was a minor car accident due to the weather and were forced to exchange insurance information. Inside the cars, there were people sitting, talking to each other about how this weather was affecting everyone.
Inside one of the cars, were three men, none of them looked happy to have been in a car accident. As their driver was talking to the woman who crashed into them, all three of them eyed the woman, glaring at her.

Shiroyuki was a curious person, which is why he observed this scene in the middle of the streets.
