[The thing is, Akechi is not a master at his own magic. He's barely an apprentice at this stage, and honestly, he should have opted for a tactical retreat once he realized that his spell had worked. It would have been the logical thing to do, a perfect way to gain Akira's trust over weeks. In fact, it had been his exact plan...but there had been that glove there to taunt him.
And so, he overworked himself, let the animal instincts take over just enough that when the magic began to ween and shake, he ignored it, hellbent on getting back what he, as a crow, was 'his'. Annoyed at Akira's usual bleeding heart and the fact he clung to the past.
And lo, when the magic finally had to break, it did so in spectacular fashion. In the span of just a few seconds, where once was a crow, the wings began to turn to hands, pieces of feathers still attached to them. Then the body elongated into a human one, the feet still having the end looking like bird claws. The tail disappeared, or more like it burst into a few dozen black feathers that slowly landed on Akechi as he fell from gravity of no longer being a bird on Akira's floor, knocking the air out of him as he coughed out a few feathers of his own.
Well...there went his undercover disguise...and his dignity.]
