Hawks reached inside his pocket and took out something covered in a handkerchief, he unwrapped it, and out came the beautiful shiny knife Stain gifted you

"So this belongs to you?" Hawks asked holding it out to you

As you were about to grab it he snatched it back "Now now, this knife comes in handy for when I have to do my eyeliner. I don't know if I should give it back"

You grew annoyed and in a flash closed the distance between you two, you grabbed his arm and twist it back,you then pushed him down causing him to get on his knees. You stepped on one of his legs and reached with your other arm to reach for your knife. However his huge wings got in the way and when he puffed them out it tried to pushed you off him, you tried to quickly snatch the knife but your view was blocked by his red feathers and instead ended up grabbing onto his headphones as you fell back

"Ow" you groaned standing back up

"You keep impressing me.." Hawks mocked, while still holding onto your knife. He was referring to back when you helped save the kid from the building. You seemed to be faster and stronger he realized.

"Mind giving me those back? I need them for flying" Hawks pointed out to the headphones you were holding

"What for?" you laughed "need some music while flying around?"

Hawks coughed a fake laugh, "No it's just since I fly at such great speed and altitude my eardrums can get damage if I don't protect them"

oh damn that's a good reason

"Well that's too bad guess you're walking home just like me" you spoke through your teeth turning around and walking away

"You see I live in Kyushu so that's going to be a problem" Hawks muttered as he ran to grab your wrist

This time you grabbed onto the back of his head and kicked him in the torso causing him to take a step back. In a flash you then took his arm and pulled it down to your right side. You hooked your leg behind his knees and threw him off balance. Then by shifting your weight to your right hip you threw him over your shoulder knocking him onto the floor. You then pinned their upper body down with the help of your thighs and legs and bent their elbow in reverse, extending his arm outward towards you

"Give it" you mumbled as you tightened your grip on his head with your legs. Seeing Hawks face slowly turning red he unclenched his hand allowing you to finally snatch your knife back

You grabbed the knife and release your grip from him, standing back up and looking down at the birdman on the floor, holding onto his throat as he struggled to breath

"Not bad" his voice sounded strained. He then stood back up as well

You ignored him and started walking back again, holding tight onto the knife, you waved your hand back not facing him "good luck getting home with broken headphones"

Hawks looked down and noticed his headphones broken on the floor, you must've crushed them when you were trying to get your knife back "I thought you wanted your knife back "

"What do you mean...I did get it back," you said slowing down your pace

You looked down at the knife you were holding and realized it was just a regular old dagger. Not the one Stain gave you

Crap

"Over here"

You turned around and saw Hawks holding out your real knife, he must've switched it with another knife when you were fighting him

"Give it" you muttered, clenching hard onto the dagger

"I don't feel like it, maybe another day?" He said, smiling and started to fly away
