Kingdom of Freedom

"To do what I want?" Yes, in a way, he did. However, Naoki himself never really liked having to do things himself. When he was in class, he had Ms. Takao dictate what he had to do. During lunch, breaks, and after school, he had Chiaki and Isamu making him do their bidding. At home, he had his mother urging him to keep working. Even during the Conception, Naoki had been doing all of Lucifer's little favors and ultimately chose Ms. Takao's request of bringing the world back. 

Though he would have to disagree on how moms are usually like that. His best friend’s mother was actually nice to him, despite the two never conversing for that long. Considered him lucky actually.

"It's odd... having my mother around." Naoki hasn't remembered living with his mother for more than a month in his life. His whole childhood consisted of being taken care of by his father, who looked too foreign for his own good. Curse his blue eyes. 

Naoki nodded happily at the stranger. "That's right. I'm human." The most humanest human of all humankind for all humans. 

His parents were never really home to begin with so.. in a sense, he had to take care of himself and teach himself how to cook and all of that. Even then, his relationship with one parent is terrible.

"Perhaps mothers are just like that," he said quietly. Though Isamu's mom was quite nice to him. She was a sweet, tiny lady--someone he'd really like to have a mom.

Isamu's lucky to have a mom like that. It's no wonder his best friend was sometimes a mama's boy. 

Well, normal people didn’t glow period! Not that she had room to honestly judge though, two of the beings she traveled with were far from normal, a talking tanuki and a 500-year-old guardian? Psh yeah, talk about normal however what he mentioned had her perking up a bit.

"Magatama," he repeated.

...

Oh, did she want an explanation or were they just practicing how to speak? Naoki wasn't quite sure, so he decided to just go on. People liked it when he explained, right?

"They're the source of my powers..." The Demi-Fiend pondered on telling her if it was painful or not. It kind of was, seeing how Lucifer had dropped the parasite into his eye and let the thing take over his body. Then after that... all that choking to pull it out from his throat and swallowing them whole...

The black cat jumped to his feet, startled by the sudden wake up call and hissed at the tattooed demon. 

“You!“ His mouth formed a harsh sneer.  Raidou shook his head and stood upright, with his hand resting on the handle of his Katana. Hitoshura probably should have heeded the young mans request. It didn’t matter now; his mentor was now awake, and in a sour mood. Gouto swiped his clawed paw at Naoki’s face.

It was lucky that Naoki had quite the fast reflexes as he ducked away quickly just before his face was slashed. 

"...Me," he responded with a dead-pan. His stance quickly changed into something more fitting for either punching or running. He wasn't quite sure which one he wanted to do right then and he was wondering just why this guy wanted to hurt him so badly.
