Never Afraid

Kichi didn’t care if she smiled at him or not.  Their relationship was more one of mutual acceptance and relative trust.  That was enough for Kichi and preferred over some attempt at feelings he’d be expected to give in return.  

She wanted to feel something?  Kichi understood that but finding a band was the answer?  For Kichi it had been finding Al but Relm didn’t have any relationship to Alastor or anyone else.  Kichi sure as hell wasn’t enough of a reason, at least not in his mind.  “If I want to feel something I try to hurt someone else.  I find pleasure in causing pain.” The words were said as calmly as suggesting a walk or mention of the weather.  

Social standards found this wrong sort of logic but when had Kichi ever cared about that?  Some here understand his reasoning.  It wasn’t just Kichi who could have such logic.  Something in his soul ached at times, like that demon that whispered to him on occasion.  The only rational way to solve it was share the pain.  “We could fight if you want.  We could hunt for someone or something to hurt?”  Reasonable offers in Kichi’s frame of mind.
