Tiny twigs were breaking under the weight of a teenager reading a book as he was walking through the park. Long hair fell over his shoulders and his sad black eyes followed the text intently. Slim fingers gripped one of the pages and flipped it so that the young man could read the rest of the story.
"Hello, nerd" a pissy boy ran up to a reading teenager. "What are ya readin' again? It's not for school and not some porn magazine. Why are ya doin' this?"
"D'ya got a match?" asked second pissy boy, coming to them. "Got or not?"
"Look, no reaction" snorted the first pissy boy when the "reader" didn't react at all. "D'ya listen to me, idiot?"
"Nope" sighed second pissy boy, looking at still walking reader. "Do somethin', Minoru, 'cause I'm gonna be mad."
"Yup, me too, Arata" drawled Minoru. "Oh, nerd! Wake up from ya freakin' sleep!"
At this moment, the reader's book was thrown into the puddle by the pissy boy. Reader looked at Minoru.
"I think that you are mannerless jerk, who doesn't want to go to the shop to buy a firestarter, so he only accosts decent people and then destroys their things because they didn't help the prince" he said in one breath, in a rather low voice. "It's all that I wanted to say."
"Me? Mannerless jerk?! ME?!" shouted Minoru, grabbing reader's wrists and pushing him against the tree. "Me mannerless my ass. Ya don't know who I am."
"Shop owners' son" replied the reader.
"Ya still don't know who I am!" yelled Minoru, slapping his victim so hard that the reader fell.
"Minoru, stop, don't start a mess again" asked Arata.
"Shut up" growled Minoru, leaned over his victim. "And what will ya say now, nerd?"
Minoru was going to punch the reader, when he grabbed his shirt. It wouldn't be so strange, if Minoru's clothes didn't star to burn with black flame. The black flame which was made by the reader.
Arata yelled because of fear and ran to Minoru. He put out the fire and, loooking at the reader's eyes, ran off with his friend in arms.
"What have I done?" asked the reader himself, looking at his hands. "What the hell was that?"
"The black flame" explained Amanoshi, leaning on a tree. "I can show you, how you did this. We put a seal over the park."
He snapped his fingers. On his hand appeared a small red flame.
"It happened, because you were mad" Akiyatsu explained as he walked over to the reader. “It happens sometimes, Akumarou."
"Who?" the reader looked at him, frightened. "But I am Hitohiyo Shinohara, not Akumarou. I'm just Shino. Nothing more."
