Naoki is a demon, yarr. His brand of demon consumes life force, or what he calls Magatsuhi. Like a vampire, only the blood is reddish energy/wisps of smoke that come out of the body. If he gets too hungry, he skips the part where he pulls the energy out of a person and just eats them instead (like a Werewolf), which will accomplish the same thing.
The streets didn't seem so dark anymore. Every movement, every piece of scrap blown about in the wind, instantly drew his attention. He wasn't surprised by this. He had experienced heightened senses before. His body always reacted to his hunger by increasing his ability to obtain the 'food' he needed. As it was, his nerves were very nearly vibrating with tension, his breath hitching his his throat, his tightened fists the only thing keeping his hands from shaking. Naoki could hear his heart pounding dully in his ears, causing his head to ache while driving him all the more to somehow make the tightness in his chest and stomach disappear.
He was hungry. He knew he was. He knew he had to do something about it. But the rodents had grown wise the past few nights, and he hadn't been able to find one for days. Just as well. They had tasted terrible. The magatsuhi was negligible and he had to resort to actually consuming them in order to get the amount he required. There were far more better-tasting things out there, he knew...
He wished...
No, no! Naoki yelled in his mind, leaning hard against low fence. I have...to control it...
But it was hard. So hard. Would it really be so bad to just give in? This seemed the kind of place where people could easily disappear and not be missed...
