As they continued their trek towards the Grand Palais and the slums that Surutameni called home for so long, the boy retained his silence for awhile. He wasn't really upset with the girl, he just had a hard time allowing people in. That fact only made worse with the rather sensative information he had been given quite recently. He snorted absent-mindedly and kicked out at a wall, hands still in his pockets. "Tch..." The sound managed to escape his lips in his struggles with his own thoughts and it aaused him to look back at the girl he was now partnered with. He really didn't want her being afraid of him, or being like all of the other kids that just passed him by and pretended he wasn't there. The black haired boy was tired, so very tired of being an outcast with only a bird to call his friend, but he really had no idea of how to fix it. I wonder what she thinks of me... She probably thinks I'm some freak like the rest of them.... His mind chewed at him, causing him to pause a moment open his mouth to speak, only to close it shut a few seconds after.
"Uhm... So... " Suru tried desperately to find something to talk about, but only ended up closing his mouth again and scratching idly at the back of his head. Boy, this was difficult. Thankfully, something... No, someone else had just interrupted their rather strained silence by leaping to the ground before them. This stranger was intriguing, and rather scary to look at, but to Suru all that gave him was a mild amount of curiosity. The horns and the ever swishing tail seemed to draw the boy's attention far more than the sanguine colored eyes. When the man, or devil in this case as it would seem, spoke Suru's own amber hued orbs snapped to lock with the demonic ones before him. "What's it to you where we are going?" The boy's hands were still buried in his pockets but he was far from being in the mood to deal with someone new, as he already had someone new and awkward to handle as it was. It wasn't unlike him to show a little bit of an attitude towards his elders, but any normal kid probably would've run for the alleys instead of throwing a bit of a temper in this particular man's face. As the strange Shinobi stood, Suru's eyes never fell. He wasn't about to reveal information to someone he didn't know, especially with the events of the Cabal within Sunakagure. "You could be lying." He proceeded to just walk past the man, shrugging his shoulders and speaking more out the side of his mouth than anything. "So, why would we tell you?"
The hand that was placed upon his back was about the breaking point, he had just had his fill of annoyances today. Who cares if this particular Shinobi looked like a demon? Suru whipped himself around and stopped in his tracks, swiftly removing the hand that was in contact with him. "Will you keep your hands off ME?!" He hadn't meant to snap, but he did and he was fuming. "My emotions are none of your concern, and what we are doing is ALSO none of your concern." Suru snorted once again and turned himself back around, stuffing his hands once more into the pockets of his shorts. He muttered to himself as he walked. If one were listening the words 'stupid', 'annoying', 'frustrating', and an entire string of negative things about the particular mission he and Naoki were tasked to and the arrival of this man; Akkuma.
