Shinigami vs Demon: Akiko vs Echo

Who are you?
The red haired girl was laying back on the roof, not a care in the world. She had just grown stronger thanks to a strange man in wearing a hat and clogs. She yawned as she got up and decided it was time to turn in.

A muscular young man with jet black hair appeared from a portal in the sky, dropping gracefully onto a roof parallel from the girl's. He had a completely expressionless face, but his fearsome eyes strangely let out a vibe of sadness. He opened a briefcase he was holding and pulled out several scrolls and an ink-tipped feather pen, beginning to do what he always did to clear his mind, writing poetry. He sat down and breathed deeply as the wind swayed his hair, writing melodiously in conjunction with the breeze.

Akiko shuddered for a minute. "What's this feeling I'm getting?"

His eyes reflected his inner sorrow despite his calm expression. "Why must my happiness always be cut off by tragedy." He muttered to himself, lighting the scrolls with incense, each one written for someone who couldn't return love. He closed his eyes and turned away from the flames, almost falling off the roof upon suddenly seeing a shinigami girl about his age. He tilted his head. "Hello."

Akiko returned to look at the person. "Hello. Who are you?"
