Event: Hunted
*Makoto is seen running down an alleyway with an arrow in his shoulder. He stops to lean against a wall, wincing in pain as he struggles to remove the arrow from his shoulder. He hears footsteps approaching his location as he panics and hides behind a trash can, holding his breath as he prays that his pursuers pass by him without trouble. He carefully watches their shadows pass by and leave. He sighs and starts to make his move when he's suddenly grabbed by the throat.*
"Found you." *The man's hand glowed with fire, burning Makoto's neck. Makoto kicks the man away and starts to move until he gets hit hard with a whip from the front.*
"You're not getting away, crawler of the night that feeds upon the flesh of innocents."
"Wait! I don't attack people! You gotta believe me!"
???: "It would be easy to do that, wouldn't it? To just take your word for it and everything is suddenly all hunky dory." *A bottle flies past the woman and nearly hits Makot as blue holy fire surrounds him, prevent escape.* "But sadly, we can't take such a risk. So my apologies, kid." *The person steps out of the shadows.*
"But you're going to have to die."

Fubuki who stumbled upon the scene while she was walking with Vivia looked pale and quickly ran over and got in between the people and stood in front of Makoto protectively, her hands out as if to keep him safe.
"Wait!! Don't hurt him! He's nice, i promise!"
Upon seeing Fubuki rush to Makoto's side without even thinking twice about it, he soon followed too and got into a fighting position.
"You heard her, He's friendly and mean no harm, back off." A friend of Fubuki is a friend of his luckily.
Purple hunter: "Fubuki, daughter of the Clockferds, and Vivian, spirit walker of the master detectives. Stay out of this. This doesn't concern you."
"I refuse! I won't let you hurt him further. I don't care about what he is, he's a good guy at heart and wouldn't harm anyone. You're just jumping to the worst conclusions without knowing him!" Determined to protect Makoto, she didn't budge from her spot, obviously caring a lot about this version of Makoto.
He gave a long drawn out sigh. "Sorry, i can't stay out of this one, Fubuki is a friend, it's a pain but... I won't hesitate to fight if you don't leave him alone."
"Sorry, but we cant take that risk. Vampires are dangerous monsters that have taken many lives. And while he may not have taken any lives yet, that doesn't change the fact that he could still snap at any moment."
"But that's not right..." As Fubuki was about to argue further, a familiar man dressed in purple walked over.
"Curious... Would you argue the same with humans? A lot of them hurt others on a whim, take lives but there's always good ones isn't there? I feel Vampires isn't much different from your own spieces. Some are good who wouldn't harm. Not understanding a spieces doesn't necessary give you a right to hunt them down, though i can understand the stigma around them not all are the same." What's he doing outside of his city?
"Yuma? No... You're not Yuma..." Both her and Vivia stood there flabbergasted and confused.
"Huh? And who are you?"
"Wait. Purple clothes...Long blonde hair......You're Makoto Kagustuchi, head of the Amateratsu Corperation. But why are you here?"
"You could call it a business trip of sorts. You don't have to worry, my city is in good hands while i'm out." He sighed and tilted his head slightly to walk towards Makoto, checking on his injuries. Yep he didn't seem afraid at all to touch the vampire they claim is dangerous. "You alright?"
"Yeah. I'm ok. A little shaken, but ok."
"What do you think you're doing!? He's dangerous!"
"Good to know." He turned back to the blonde haired guy. "Dangerous? These two has had their backs turned and yet are still completely fine, are they not?" He motioned towards Vivia and Fubuki that are unharmed despite having their backs open for an attack if Naegi had wanted to.
Vivia took out a box cutter, pushing up the blade. "Why do you look like a friend of ours?"
"Maybe you shouldn't focus so much on me and worry about the the people over there?"
"You're kind mister... Kagutsuchi, thank you for offering a hand. Don't worry Makoto, we'll keep you safe." She smiled at Naegi.
