CINNAMON

Tonight, Between the Crescent and the Full Moon

the night wind blew, Satoji sat on the roof of the housing, his hair was unraveled by the wind that did not stop blowing.

Satoji looked up at the sky, he kept staring at the current moon between the scythe and the full moon, his solitude like a lonely wolf.

“Yama village is indeed very crowded, but if without Sinam.. I remain lonely. ” murmured Satoji.

on the other hand, in a house, Yoja lay in a room complete with her blanket, her eyes were still open, “Satoji was. It was time to sleep but still outside. Besides Sansiro and Sinam a long time ago, after all, they say only farewell to their families, but until night has not appeared as well. ” murmured.

Satoji was still sitting on the roof, still looking at the sky that currently looks beautiful, thousands of stars accompany the moon to illuminate the darkness of the night, the atmosphere looks quite bright.

“night moonlight is very bright. It is not yet full, but it is not a crescent moon, half round is also more. ” murmured Satoji, “the longer I look at it.. I don't know why I remembered those times when my entire Clan was killed. being alone in loneliness made this hatred even deeper.. ”

Satoji smiled, “Devil Wolf, yes.. ” said, “it turns out I have pent-up strength.not too bad either. ”

Taps..

Suddenly the sound of people jumping on the roof, Satoji turned his head, where Saken stood casually.

Satoji turned his eyes away from Saken, “cih, so you, yes. ” then stood up from his seat.

Satoji looked at Saken who was also staring at him, “what do you want.? ” ask Satoji.

“you should have known, I want to fight with you.! ” Saken smiles evil.

Satoji smiled wickedly, “a long time I waited for this opportunity.Just seeing you has made me sick. ” he said.

“of course. because we both inherit the power of Satan.. When close together, our killing lust will rise. ” said Saken, “but.. I want to fight with you out of curiosity what the devil is inside of you. ”

“so, yes. just deserved when I saw it I felt something strange.It turns out it was a response from fellow Devils. ” Inner Satoji.

“before the fight, there is something I want to ask you, Satoji. ” said Saken, “where are you from? what was your purpose in coming to Yama Village? I'm sure you're not from Yama Village, I've never felt the same way I did when I got close to you. ”

Satoji put on a serious expression, “I have no obligation to answer your question.You also have no right to get an answer from me. ” he said coldly.

Saken smiled wickedly, “as expected, you must have said so, but.. ” said, “you must have lived a life of suffering.. it was a thing experienced by everyone who inherited the power of Satan.I used to not believe in that nonsense, but after living a life full of pain.

“full of pain you said.?! ” Satoji looks upset, “what pain do you receive from this peaceful village? your suffering is nothing compared to mine.. ”

“I don't know what you're going through. But you don't understand what it's like to be shunned by people when you find out I inherited the power of Satan.. everyone thinks of me as a demon. ” Saken looks serious, “but. after I got to know Sinam. everything changed, he looked at me as a human.. ”

“Sinam.? ” Satoji surprised, then smiled, “so, yes. it turns out Sinam is indeed a different person. ” his inner.

“Satoji. I'm sure you hold a grudge against someone. Your eyes look hateful. ” says Saken. “ as a fellow Devil.. stop getting yourself into the pit of deepening hatred.it's useless.after you kill that person you get nothing, just sheer satisfaction.. ”

“do you know what? huh.?! ” Satoji is getting upset, “ I don't care about your nonsense.. Do you think I believe this suffering was born just because I inherited the power of Satan..?! do you think I will forget the person who caused this pain.?!” his yell.

Satoji calmed down again, “stop talking as if you know everything.You should know how it feels to be lonely being alone.You who have never lost a family will not understand my feelings. ”.

Saken looks surprised, “lost the family.?!. so, his family was killed. ” his inner.

“that's enough base, let's get started. ” Satoji looks serious.

Satoji stared intently at Saken who was also staring at him, the two of them clashing face to face for a while.

Fuh..

a gentle breeze came blowing, Satoji and Saken's hair was irregular, from both eyes were reflected by the moonlight, the gazes of both of them looked very sharp.

Brakes..

Satoji prepares, then runs towards Saken quickly. On the other hand, Saken also runs towards Satoji, but he does not use his demonic powers.

Blak.. Bukk..

at the beginning of the fight, the two are seen fighting empty-handed and without Shaka, both move quickly with the movement of jumping here and there, a fight and each other resisted.

Buaaq.. Blakk..

moments later, Satoji looks superior, Saken is repeatedly hit by Satoji's punch.

Satoji directed a fist towards Saken, “you won't be able to defeat me.!! ” shears.

Saken was hit by Satoji's fist, his nose was broken and bleeding, “so.

Saken was lying on the roof, he stood up again, his blackish-green Shaka started coming out, “I'll show you my strength.. Satoji. ” said.

Satoji was surprised, “Shaka what is this? this is so scary.! ” his inner look scared.

Srakk..

Saken extended his hand, his hand darting rapidly towards Satoji, when it was close to turning into a snake.

“apa.?! ” Satoji once again surprised.

Sraakk..

Satoji tries to dodge, but too late, Saken's snake coils around his body.

Saken swung his hand that had turned into a snake, Satoji's entangled body was thrown.

Brakk.. Bruck..

satoji's body hit the roof of the house which was immediately destroyed, but Satoji's body was still wrapped around the snake, Saken again sent Satoji to the roof of the housing that continued to be destroyed.

Saken released the hand winding of the snake, then turned the snake back into a hand that immediately shortened, “what is wrong with you? why don't you use your demonic-power, Satoji.? ” says Saken.

Satoji lay down, his eyes staring at the cracked residential roof, then slowly got back up and looked at Saken.

Saken smiled wickedly, “if you do not use your demonic-power, you will never win against me. ”.

Satoji lowered his head, his eyes closed, “if I have indeed inherited the power of Satan.! ” inner, “Whatever evil is inside me. Lend me your strength.!! ” inner.

Saken looked at Satoji, “what is he doing.?! ” inner.

slowly, a blackish-red Shaka emerged from Satoji's body, at the moment he looked terrifying due to being in the dark of the night.

As Saken extended his hands that instantly turned into two large enough snakes, the snake darted towards Satoji who was still in place with the turbulent red Shaka.

“majulah, Satoji.!! ” shouted Saken.

Zrachh..

as the two Saken snakes were about to touch Satoji, suddenly a claw-shaped white light appeared, blood splashing in all directions.

Bukk..

in the next second, Saken's snake body was chopped up, then lying on the roof.

Saken looks in pain, his hands back shortened and cut, but back to how they were, “so. he inherited the powers of the Devil Wolf, yes. ” then smiled evilly.

in front of Saken, Satoji was standing gallantly, his claws were long and so pointed, his fangs were also so sharp, his eyes were red like wolf eyes.

Satoji stared at his body, “I can feel it. The power is so fierce from my body.. This red shaka.. as if healing my wounds. ” his inner, then smiled evilly, “so this. the power of a Devil heiress. ”

Saken and Satoji stared at each other with Shaka so big, his eyes both looking so sharp, like a snake and a wolf.

“ayo go.!! ” Saken start running.

“aku's coming.!! ” Satoji fast-paced.

Braakk..

every foot of the two rested on the roof, the roof was instantly cracked.

Satoji and Saken continued to run towards each other, their bodies were seen turning into half-animal, the dense Shaka kept on blazing.

“matilah..!! ” the two shouted, Satoji prepared with claws, while Saken took out his large snake.

Traangs..

Suddenly Sinam stood in the middle, Saken and Satoji were shocked and stopped.

Sinam lowered his head, “enough. stop the fight. ” he said slowly.

“Sinam.?! ” Satoji and Saken are surprised, slowly Shaka both disappear along with his body that returns to normal.

Sinam smiled looking at the two, “you both are really great. ” he said, then turned to Satoji, “Satoji, I just found out, it turns out you inherited the power of Satan. ” he said.

“i also just found out. ” Satoji also smiled.

Saken looked at Sinam, “oi, Sinam. We just practice. ” he said, “ tomorrow we will go, I will rest first. Besides I also sleepy. ” he smiled, then leave.

Sinam looked at the departure of Saken, “if that is the name of the exercise, then what is the real fight like. I can also feel the tension between the two of you all this time. ” inner.

Sinam smilingly looked at Satoji, “Satoji, it looks like the two of you are not getting along, yes. ” he said.

Satoji was speechless, he looked hard thinking, his face was serious too.

“Sinam..” Suddenly Satoji opens his voice, his face looks serious.

Sinam turned his head, he was also speechless with a curious face.

“Sinam, I'm going back to the forest, it looks like I'd better stay with teacher Abame. ” Satoji smiled forcedly.

Sinam surprised, “apa...you mean.? ” said.

“tomorrow you will go. I cannot come with you. So, I will stay with teacher Abame. ” Satoji said.

“yah, alright. sorry I can't take you, teacher Deiki won't allow. ” Sinam looks sorry.

“nothing, I'll go now. ” Satoji looks serious, “Sinam.

“what are you saying? of course we meet again, after returning from the Twin Sword Village, I will meet you and teacher Abame. ” Sinam smiled.

Satoji turned around, then walked slowly with a serious face, “forgive me, Sinam.. If I tell you the truth, you must have stopped me in any way. ” her inner self, , “ I cannot possibly be Abame's student. There is something I don't like about him. Every look at his eyes.

Sinam looked at Satoji's departure, “what is this feeling? though only parted for a while, but it feels like parting forever. ” his eyes glazed.

Satoji kept going, “I believe.true power comes from deep hatred.From now on, I will continue on my own.. my goal now is just revenge. ” her inner self, “I don't know where to go. I don't know how to be strong either, any path I would cross to be strong, even without a single speck of light. ”

Sinam was sitting on the roof, now that Satoji was invisible from his sight, he looked dreamy.

“oi, Sinam.?!” suddenly someone shouted. “what happened?! why is the roof of Yoja's house destroyed like this.?!! ” that person is Sansiro.

“eh.?! ” Sinam surprised, “ Sansiro.?! ”

instantly, Sinam frantically looked around, “what happened? why is it like this.?! ” he looks around.

“don't pretend to be stupid, you're the only one who's here. ” says Sansiro, “after Yoja finds out, we'll get in trouble. ”

“where is he.? ” ask Sinam.

on the other hand, Yoja looks asleep, saliva comes out of her mouth, the snoring sound is very loud, it seems like she does not feel disturbed in the slightest.

“apa.?!” Sinam shouted, “dia slept.?! ”

“that's how, if he's asleep, he's like a corpse. ” Sansiro said.

still in the center of the village, Satoji is seen walking between the housing, in front of him Kaori is seen walking towards him, a few more steps they cross paths.

Kaori lowered her head, “why is Satoji here? ” her inner self, she looks shy.

Satoji paused, staring flatly at Kaori, “Kaori, thank you. You have always been kind to me. ”.

Kaori was surprised, “what is this? not usually Satoji says like this, or maybe she. ” her cheeks get redder, “mau declares love. ” her inner.

“I will go. So, until we meet again. ” said Satoji, then back to pass Kaori.

Kaori was silent and silent, her eyes began to glaze over, she sat on the ground, “why...so like this.? ” she said slowly, her tears finally dripping, she cried on a dark street corner.
