My whole life, all I've been doing is training through closed doors, hiding behind a mask and building a wall between myself and the whole world. My best friend was my closest friend and family. I never trusted anyone as much as I did to her as I wasn't that close to my parents.

That was my life before I met this man.

He was annoying and flirty, I hated him.

One look and you know this guy is a douchebag.

But that was what I thought.

As time passed by, I saw a different side of him.

One that was entirely different from the usual him that I know.

Little did I know, the wall that I painstakingly tried to build, was slowly lowering itself down just because of him.

But if I find out some clues about my origin, will I be able to find out what I truly am?

Am I curious enough to give up everything just to find out?

And when I do, will I be able to handle it?

Even if it means hurting my friends? My loved ones? Him? Myself?

Or will I be able to face it with them?

Everyone thinks differently.

And everyone else thinks that I'm the perfect kind of guy.

Everyone but her.

Everyone knows me as the easygoing, free and a no-problems-don't-care-about-the-world-only-care-about-me-and-my-friends type of guy.

But that's just a facade.

No one knows that it's just a facade.

No one but her.

Because you never know, even the happiest person can have the saddest past.

And suddenly, I started opening up to her which is unbelievable for a person like me..

I saw a side of me that I've never seen before.

Different sides, even ones that I would never expect in myself.

She was strong, independent, yet also kind, loving, and caring.

I wanted to see more of her.

I didn't want to see just the tip of the iceberg.

I wanted to see the real her, every single side of her, I wanted to see.

But once I find out something that I'm not supposed to know, what would I do?

What should I do?

"Really? We'll see each other again in the future, right?" A young girl in the age of 10 said to a boy with Crimson red eyes, who was the same age as her. The little girl's golden and vibrant ruby eyes were tearing up.

"We will, I promise." The boy gently said with a smile, his face was blurred but she could tell that he was handsome.

The tears that the girl had been suppressing started falling on her rosy cheeks.

"Don't forget us too!!" Another boy, who came out of nowhere, said cheerfully, one hand up in the air, the other holding the hand of a young girl, his long blonde hair flowing with the sway of the wind.

"The mountain is so cold, and it has that awful stench of blood on it." A young girl with purple eyes, whom the blonde little guy's hand was holding, coldly said, a tiny furrow in her brows. Her slender fingers were on her nose, pinching it to lessen the awful smell she was smelling.

"Oh! Come on! Let us promise, no, not just that, let us vow that we'll see each other again in the near future!" The black haired boy said with a smile on his face.

"Okay! I'll start! I, Kiriana Kingstone, vow that in the near future, I will reunite with ----"

"Ah!" A young lady jolted up from her bed, panting.

"Ringggg, ringgggg, ringgggggg" the sound of an alarm resounded throughout the entire room.

The woman reached for her phone, and turned off the alarm.

"Damn it. I can't remember their names." She helplessly muttered to herself, in her anger, she formed her hand into a fist, but in doing so, the phone that was in her hand got crushed.

"Huh? What the-- damn it, what a bad morning." She sighed to herself and massaged her temples in one hand.

"Should I just buy a new phone just in case I break another one?" She silently asked herself.

"Whatever, better wash up then." She stood up and headed for the bathroom.

*20 minutes later*

The young woman walked out from the bathroom, wore her undergarments, put on some deodorant and lotion and headed for the closet in the corner.

She picked a pair of black jeans, a black tube and topped it off with a red leather jacket, she wore a black choker and some earrings, she also took a small butterfly-shaped piece of jade, the size of her thumb, and placed it inside her pocket, making sure it won't fall out.

She went to another corner where a cabinet was placed, her shoes were there, she took out a pair of black leather boots with golden highlights on it.

She took her sling bag, stuffed her keys, her condo card, wallet, contact lens solution and the container for the lenses, closed it and slid her phone in her pocket.

She headed for the door, wore the sunglasses which was placed on the table right beside it, and went out the door.

Kira's point of view

When I reached the mall, I parked my car then headed towards the entrance.

"Excuse me, Mr. Officer, which part of this mall can you find the place where they sell their gadgets?" I asked the security guard at the entrance.

"East wing, miss." Mr. Officer replied to me.

"Thanks." I replied politely but no smiles. I then headed to the east wing part of the mall and easily found the gadgets department or whatever they call that.

"Excuse me, miss." I called out to the girl at the counter who was busy flirting with a male customer.

"Excuse me?... Miss?... Hello?!" She clearly didn't hear a single word I said.

"MISS WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTER!!!" I yelled in a cold tone and slammed my hands at the glass.

"Ahhhh!!!" She shrieked, "Instead of flirting with that customer over there, can you pay attention to the other customers who are in a rush here? Or do you want me to make you lose your job?" I threatened her in a calm, polite and friendly tone which frightened her. The fact that I'm still here standing and not going around destroying things is already a miracle.

She trembled. The glass started cracking and small pieces of glass started falling on the floor.

"I'll pay for any damages." I said nonchalantly.

"So, beautiful yet fierce refers to women like you?" I heard a charming, magnetic voice of a man and felt that an arm was placed on my shoulders.

"I admit that I am beautiful, but I'm only fierce when I'm impatient, pissed or when I want to. And I believe we're not close enough for you to be putting your hand on my shoulder like that so please remove it." I then flicked his hand off my shoulder.

"Give me your newest model....Oh, no, newest models." I faced the terrified counter girl.

"Y-yes, of course, miss." She hurriedly replied, panic stricken and quickly ran away to

retrieve the phones I asked her for. The annoying stranger beside me chuckled.

"Don't be so mean to the poor little girl." He said, clearly amused.

"Shut up, weirdo." I'm seriously getting even more pissed. 'What a bad morning' I thought and sympathized about how pitiful I was this week.

"H-here it is, miss." The counter girl finally came back, but more calm and composed this time. She handed me 5 boxes and a paper bag, I then placed the boxes inside the paper bag.

"Thank you." I gave her a friendly smile and then took my wallet that was inside my sling bag and handed her a check which was already signed, wrote a random number and few zeros and placed it on the glass counter and then walked away, but before I did so, I didn't forget to tell her to write a few more zeros if she'd like and keep the change. I looked back and saw her trembling hands carefully held the check, her eyes shining as if she had just seen something incredibly precious.

While walking, I mused about my reaction at the store just now, I usually would just ignore and keep my distance from other people especially of the opposite sex, of course, except for Mr. McKinney. Yet I actually didn't feel uncomfortable with him.

While thinking, I suddenly felt someone place their arm over my shoulders, in a way that brought our bodies close to each other. I turned to look at who actually dared to do that and was surprised to see that it was the handsome stranger at the store just now.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I furiously asked him. I hate getting close to strange people and he is definitely a strange and weird one. He shrugged, which completely pissed me off!!!! 'This weirdo! Was he following me just now?! Creep!!' I quietly cursed him in my head.

"Sorry, but I have to go somewhere to meet someone so can you please remove your hand that's on my shoulders?" I told him while suppressing my anger.

"Is the person you're meeting male or female?" He casually asked as if what he was asking wasn't creepy or weird in any way!!!

"That is none of your business, you're being unreasonable. Like, we literally just met!And I don't even know your name!" I not-so-loudly yelled at him. My demonic energy is starting to appear.

"Unreasonable? Just met?" He furrowed his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. He had this dangerous glint in his eyes when I said that.

The nearby glass windows started creating crack marks and all the things that were surrounding us slowly started to float and break. 'Calm down Kiriana, calm down. Don't lose control.' I thought to myself.

His expression changed almost immediately.

"Haha, you're the very first woman who dared to talk to me like that." He chuckled.

"Goodbye." I bid him farewell without even looking at him. I walked away, heading towards an inconspicuous part of the mall, then used the teleportation jade my best friend gave me and teleported away.

*********************

"Sweetie, I'm so sorry for being late. Please forgive this pitiful little girl and spare her." I apologetically said to my one and only, best friend.

Shey Anne Smith, half Witch, half Fairy, with Dragon blood. Wanna how she got so many breeds? She was experimented on, along with me and two other boys, we couldn't have contact anymore though.

"Seriously, Kiriana, where have you been? And what's that you're holding?" She narrowed her eyes at me and then at the paper bag in my hands. I sat down the seat opposite to her.

"I....ummm....kinda....broke...my, uh....phone?" I awkwardly responded, a layer of cold sweat forming on my forehead.

"Kira Stone, why and how did you, break your phone again?" She asked me, her voice dangerously low.

"The alarm was too annoying, ok? I got pissed off and lost control." I desperately tried explaining myself to at least escape from the hell that's about to befall upon me.

"Look, I'm sorry, ok?" I helplessly stated to her.

"Didn't we talk about this? Self control, remember?" Unexpectedly, she let me off this time.

'I wonder what she ate before this? Or is she planning something?' I shuddered at the thought.

We went to a nearby table and placed our belongings there and then headed to the cashier where we both ordered pancakes, I also had coffee and she had hot chocolate. After getting our orders, we headed to our table and then chatted about stuff while eating.

"Kiri, when do you plan on going back?" She asked me in the middle of our conversation.

"What do you mean, Shey?" I responded.

"You've been taking a leave for 2 weeks already. When are you coming back to the organization? You have a lot of tasks waiting for you." She explained while spreading butter on a piece of pancake.

"I'm coming back tomorrow, I guess?" I replied, not quite sure of my answer.

"Why can't you come back today?" She whined.

"I don't want to. Yet. Just let me come back tomorrow, kay? I want just one more free day." I replied.

"Anyway, I also took a leave today." She casually said.

That simple sentence left me extremely shocked. That was the scariest thing I have ever heard of in 6 months, the last time I got shocked was 6 months ago when I heard that she won't be going abroad anymore to study.

"But, I feel like one of them is...." She stated with a that smile on her face.

'Oh no, I know that smile of hers. She's planning something' I thought to myself.

"What on earth are you planning this time?" I asked her while taking a sip of my coffee.

"Nothing, I mean, we'll see if it actually works out." She said with a small smile plastered on her lips.

"What do you mean by 'if it actually works out'?" I asked her suspiciously.
