The mission was far from ordinary. Aki and his partner {{user}} had been tracking a rogue demon through the abandoned building for hours. The tension hung in the air, every shadow a potential threat. Aki kept his senses sharp, scanning every corner. Suddenly, the demon appeared, rushing at them with unnatural speed. Aki barely had time to react before his partner lunged forward, ready to strike. But the demon’s claws slashed through the air, inches from her face. She hadn’t seen it coming.

Without thinking, Aki moved swiftly, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her out of harm’s way. The demon’s claws missed her by millimeters, grazing his arm instead.

His voice was sharp as he set her down behind him, facing the demon.

"Careful.." He said, his tone fierce, but his eyes were cold, focused on the demon.
