Black Wing Tricks Part 1: Returns

I don't own anything

Tokyo, Yongen-Jaya

The last few days of his probation had finally came. Ren had been feeling energized as of recent and he felt such a relief of freedom that he had longed for so long. He had been spending the last of his school days enjoying the company of his various friends and confidants hanging out and working shift. He would have been lying if he said he wasn't going to miss them but he knew that his time in Tokyo had ended.

On the day before he was scheduled to leave Tokyo he spent time walking around downtown Shinjuku and could only see crowd merging and appearing figures around him like a mist. Walking past a window of the clothing store he looked at the window seeing his reflection the glass.

As he looked into the window for a second he saw a wing come out of his back.

'Like the ones on Satanael.' Ren thought as he blinked only for the wing to vanish.

Ren shook his head and continued to walk towards the movie theater. As he walked into theater he saw that they were running a movie called Last Fantasy: Children of the Advent. Buying a ticket, Ren walked passed a white-jacketed man with white hat. The man had a rough expression on his face but he seemed to have finished the movie and looked more relaxed. The two made eye contact with each other but neither thought about the other much and they only passed each other. Ren did felt another presence behind the man but ignored it he had wanted to watch a movie and no one would stop him.

The Next Day

Ren Amamiya was enjoying his ride that he had received from his friends enjoying his last gift to him as was to left back at home in Kuoh as soon as possible.

As they sat in the car listening to music watching the beautiful ocean, Ryuji asked a question.

"Hey, guys did you ever look in a mirror or window the last few weeks?"

Everyone raised an eyebrow at that comment for how obvious it was.

"Seriously, Ryuji, we all do look in a mirror every morning." Ann responded slightly annoyed on how stupid the question was.

Ryuji shook his head, "I walked pass a window two days ago and I thought I had a tail."

Ren raised his eyebrow at that statement. He remembered yesterday and his walk to the movie theater and the window but even he was skeptical.

"Ryuji, why are you so interested in this?" Ren asked wondering where this was coming from.

Ryuji lay back on the seat, as the van was moving along the highway, and began to explain, "Well, ever since Christmas whenever I glance in a mirror I see a monkey tail on me and when I blink or look at the mirror directly it vanishes."

Everyone's eyes narrowed as if this was happening to them as well.

Ryuji looked around seeing the strange look in everyone's faces and said the blatantly obvious, "Did this all happen to you?"

Everyone nodded and for a while in van no one said a thing.

Makoto was the next one to speak up nervously, "Well, what did everyone else see the mirror? I saw a necklace with a golden cross on it."

Ann raised her hand and said, "I walk by windows and I see a pair of black dogs walking right beside me and when I put my hand where the dog is I feel a slight nuzzle like an actual dog."

Morgana shivered in Ren's lap and looked around saying, "Are they here right now? Not that I am afraid."

Ren just smiled and petted Morgana who purred saying, "That is riggghht."

As he was the leader, Ren told that he had been seeing a black wing whenever he walks pass windows or mirrors.

"Plants really seem to grow faster than before Christmas." Haru mentioned as she was sitting properly.

Futaba not wanting to be left out said, "I sometimes see my laptop become a book."

Morgana purred and said, "I see sometimes wings on my feet but I think it was crow feathers but the wings I think were white."

Yusuke being the last one said, "I find myself enjoying a nice breeze and I don't feel as cold outside but not to warm either."

Everyone felt awkward until Futaba climbed over to the front and turned on the radio.

Plays Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There

"Hey this isn't the time to be so down let's enjoy our last day with our leader." Futaba said smiling uplifting everyone.

Ren smiled with happiness and opened the roof window and stared into the distance and watched cars and the ocean being passed as they drove on.

Kuoh Town Afternoon

As the group drove into the town, Ren gave a verbal tour of his old home from the restaurants, to the old church, and to the schools within the area.

As they stopped at a gas station Ren said, "Hey guys I'll come and visit if I can."

Everyone nodded and with tear felt goodbyes drove off after refueled and went off.

Ren carrying his bag with Morgana sitting inside he started his walk towards home.

He walked down the street seeing his old home decided to get a meal before arriving home again and walked through town until he came upon a ramen stand. He sat down and grabbed one of the menus from a stand began to skim through the various ramen choices and other dishes the stand had. The memory of his former friends and him at the stand washed over him as glazed through. Ren scrolled down and found his favorite ramen – kessakuraaramen (1). This ramen contained a beef broth with roasted pork slices, dried seaweed, soy marinated chicken, fried onion pieces, and a sun-side-up egg.

The storeowner looked at the boy as he went through the menu stopping on the choice he had picked. Kid had expensive taste but he merely accepted the order and took the cash from the kid, which had a bit of extra money. The kid told him to keep some change and he didn't seem to mind and asked if he had any fish. The old man smiled and handed a bit extra cooked fish he had prepared and the boy opened his bag revealing a cat that ate the fish happily. Chuckling he prepare ramen with extra care to make sure everything was perfect for this generous customer.

"It has been a while since I been here in Kuoh." Ren mused as he watched the old man cook the ramen.

The old cook looked at the boy then towards the food again, "You from around here."

Ren smiled and said, "I live here but I had to be out of town for a year."

The old cook finished the cooking and handed Ren the ramen, "Well, I hope this is a good dish to welcome you home."

Ren smiled and took the bowl. After he put the bowl down he offered his hand and said, "Name is Ren."

The old man's eyes widened and said, "Your that kid I heard what happen to ya. I thought I recognized you."

Ren chuckled as he ate the warm comforting ramen, "A lot has changed in that time, hasn't it old man Teuchi."

The old cook gave big grin, "Well you have grown also you seem less distant than you used to be."

After Ren took a bite of the noodles, he continued, "I had journey of a lifetime and I will never forget the friends I made this year."

As the two talked into the late afternoon and Ren finished his ramen, they caught up on what had happened including that the Kuoh Academy had been changed from an all girls academy to a mixed gender school.

Ren thanked the old chef and started walking home though somehow he felt that someone was watching him and activated his Third Eye Technique and his head began to pound like a beating drum. His eyes were on fire and in his voice chanted a tone in his head.

Born again Fallen Angel of Freedom

Remember role in the world

My son, call me father

Change all for the better

My last message to you

In my name dearest child

Ren was heaving and turned into an empty alley to get out of view. Five minutes passed and his vision cleared and he could feel his body thrumming with energy. He still had his Third Eye active and looked around seeing the aura of every person in the town. It was like his power had received an upgrade and then some. The aura of people over the whole town was practically white and turning in a 360° seeing white and little flakes of red, yellow, and the rest of the spectrum of colors. He then saw a red aura with flakes of dirty gray and yellow right around the corner in an alleyway less than a block away. Morgana who had been napping woke up by Ren's shaking and looked up to see that Ren had his head behind a corner looking cautiously.

"Yo Ren." Morgana whispered.

Ren looked down to his bag and gave the silence symbol. Ren was in very good shape after going to the gym, after his imprisonment from Juvenile Detention. He had practiced martial arts to fix up his training and improve his stamina and mental fortitude.

He walked slowly and quietly towards the other alleyway loosing his body, preparing. He was one foot away from alley and set himself in his stance and walked in front of the alleyway looking inwards to find no one.

He didn't relax and looked up in the alley, nothing. He activated Third Eye again, nobody above or in front of him. He turned around and nothing. He relaxed and deactivated Third Eye and began to walk back home keeping his senses on full alert. Someone had begun to follow him without him knowing and that raised his paranoia to the maximum.

Ren would never know it but the being who sensed him was scared at the strength of magic she had sensed from the boy walking down the street and she would later report on the boy.

Ren also would pick up a sandwich and a sashimi grade tuna from the local market to have when he got home.

Evening – Amamiya Residence

Ren was exhausted like a day from mementos just ended and Ren knew he would have to come back home soon. As walked up the path to the house he looked at the place that raised him and gave him kick the year before. He walked up to the door and took out the keys that he had received from his parents in elementary school and opened the door.

The lights were on and it seemed like Ren returned into a dream. He closed the door and took his shoes off. He saw the light on in the living room/kitchen area. He walked into the room to find a note written by his mother on the table.

He put his bag down on the floor and Morgana poked his head out watching as Ren picked up the paper.

On the front of the note said, Ren.

Ren took a deep breathe in and opened the note.

My dearest child heard about your subsequent arrest and your criminal history remove. Your Father and I are out of town for the next month or so to do business your father has. You are to watch the house, go to school, and keep yourself healthy. We have left you money on your bed to use and don't worry about the mortgage and utilities we have your father and I paid via computer. We hope that you are better child than before. Also you are to go Kuoh Academy the day after you arrive so you can go to school at the Academy.

Sincerely,

Your Mother

Ren could only read it and laugh, hard. His parents didn't even think he had changed from his arrest though with that in mind his parent probably received a notice that his criminal record was erased with Shido out of power.

However, that meant good things for him, which gave him power over his life for a while longer.

"Looks like we are going to be on our own for a while Morgana." Ren said as he chuckled.

Morgana snickered saying, "Well looks like your going to have to balance your life again."

Ren smiled and said, "Yes indeed."

He checked the house out making sure that everything was there for his necessities. Minus the lack of food in the fridge, which he was going to pick up after his meeting with the school would be fine. He took out the sandwich and grabbing a knife from a rack began to slice the tuna for Morgana all while looking out into the window. Thinking about tomorrow.
