Shopping for Company

He had been ready to just leave her there and walk away but she just continued to talk and walk " So you heard that". How could he explain that he wished to be a demon, well a demon lord to be exact, if she couldn't accept why he was acting as a douche. He was sure she wouldn't understand but since he had made it abundantly clear that he didn't want anyone to find out through him or her he figured he may as well give it a try, Remi finding out was just an unfortunate accident.

"I wished for Immortality so that if I couldn't free her during a human lifetime I could at least forever be by her side. I couldn't just say this as the act had already begun, so I masked my wish within another wish that would seem more fitting to the act." He took another big deep breath, who knew telling would feel so heavy on the heart. "I wished to become a demon lord, to gain back my human form and for a power, I had hoped to get a useful power to help her but no such luck."

"Other then to keep quiet and keeping a look out for someone who may have a power that can help us while you go about your daily life, no" He was a little upset but given the situation that was understandable.

It took him a while but he still didn't get what she was saying, he was actually a nice guy and hadn't the gentle push make her realize that then surely him explaining that the bad things he did was just an act, would. So why would he harm someone else then her if she told others and why would he do it if she helped him, it seemed so counter intuitive"I promise...".

Well, he did in fact have friends, though they weren't real friends. They were other jackasses he hanged with, just to maintain his appearances. Besides when he got a lucky break or when he was at the shop, she was the first one he had been able to be himself with and not only that, she was the only one he had spoken the truth to.

"No, I don't have any friends" But this was anticipated and therefore ok, he knew he would be hated when he had made his decision, he didn't regretted it though sometimes he did feel extra lonely. "Are we going to my place? To see if Kaori is real?" He needed to ask because when he left the alley he had intended to leave Remi there as well.

[Fade to Tatsuo's Home/Shop]

He stopped just outside the gates of a mansion, his mansion, with a sign over his head "Happy Tails" it said "Yup, I live here, above the shop". He had let built a few parking spots just inside the gates where people could park, it was a convenience thing.He had also built a few parking spots next to the building and bought a few vehicles that tivoli has which had a wagon on the back with a few cages, this was so that people could get a ride from the gates and a ride back with their new pet. Tatsuo sat down on one of those wagons, in the back, like a kid just to dingle his legs. "Take me home when Remi is on" he said to the employee who would drive that specific vehicle, while he awaited tons of question from Remi.

"I didn't physically build it." implying that he had paid for it, he could go on and actually say it out loud but he wasn't one for bragging and had it not been for the animals then he would be happy to live in an apartment or a smaller house.

Getting closer to the building he felt the need to express the need for secrecy again "Remember, not a word about what I have told you" it wasn't the same threatening tone as earlier, it was more of a friendly reminder. He was a little awkward, not knowing what else to say as this was really the first time he got to speak to her and the only subject that he had been talking about was taboo. He could either tell her how Kaori came into his possession or something else entirely, he hoped for the later as the former was a long story.
