Slowly, Hiko raised his eyes to her. he didn't flinch at the sight of her pupiless eyes. He stared at her, as if he was a hawk examining his prey. "Ren." He said, committing the name to memory. His voice was smooth and tempting. But underneath that was a hint of the danger that surrounded him. He could lead you to your death with a single word. He cocked his head slightly and the scars on his face were revealed. "Your different." He said bluntly.
He cocked an eyebrow as he studied her. His eyes almost seemed to bore into her and gaze at her soul. "A Deadly Fighter I presume?" He said quietly. He made a weird motion. His hands played in a soundless patter, as if he was playing the piano.
Suddenly, he stiffened. His eyes darted to the left and he turned slightly, inclining his head as if he was looking down at the gang that advanced towards him. They were older students. Ones that weren't as afraid of Ren as the others. They sneered at Hiko and his playing hand froze in mid play. "Well looky here. It's the newbe. What's his name Todd?" The leader sneered, turning to one boy. He was tall and ugly. "Names H-H-Hi-Hik I think..." He said, struggling with his name. "Like Hick?" The leader sneered. Hiko's jaw snapped shut with an audible snap. "Hiko. It's Hiko." He said through clenched teeth. The only way you could tell that he was sowly getting his temper tested was his frozen and stiff stance and his clenched teeth. An experienced fighter or a Deadly Fighter would reconize the stance as a defensive posture. Obviously, the boys weren't very bright. "Well. Let's teach the newbie who's boss around this school." The leader snorted. With that, he advanced, his hand curled into a fists and raised. It took only that movement to sentence him to his fate. Faster than the eye can follow, as the fist went downwards, Hiko disappeared, only to reappear into the middle of the group, three fingers pressed onto the middle of the leader's throat. The leader choked and his face turned red as his air supply was limited. Very quietly, Hiko leaned forward and whispered into his ear. "Make any other move, and your throat will collapse in on itself." He whispered quietly. To anyone around, this was a sure sign that he was a Deadly Fighter. But if you looked close enough, you could see that his playing fingers had started up again, playing at a faster pace. His stance was still on defensive. He wouldn't attack unless he had to. And if he had too, he would kill the leader. His gang froze, then turned and ran like dogs with their tail between their legs. The leader's face had turned purple when Hiko released him. The leader dropped to the floor and lay still. He had pasted out. Hiko wrinkled his nose at the smell of urine. He had peed himself. He turned and realized Ren was still there. He cocked his head again, but stayed silent. The calm look had never left his face. His hand hung at his side, the fingers having stopped playing.

this world could rot
die, and kill itself off
but a promise is a promise
and promises should always be kept
dont you think?
