Gumi yawned and rubbed her eyes. She was extremely tired, and this lesson was not making it any better. She nodded off maybe a dozen times until the bell finally rang, waking Gumi up. She stretched and packed her things up before glancing over at him.

He was a dark mysterious person. Was very quiet, and cold at times. He had black hair and beautiful golden eyes. A lot of girls fawn over him, but once he insults them, or gives them the cold shoulder, their opinions either change, or their little crush gets even bigger because he is now deemed as the bad boy, Rei Kagene.

But there was something different about this boy. He may have seemed normal, but he wasn't, in fact, he was a demon. That's probably why he was so cold towards everyone, it was just his demonic nature. He didn't seem like normal demons however, he was very calm, and collected, he wasn't the type of demon that hungered death, and craved blood. He would kill humans time to time, but only to carry out orders. Gumi knew this, how though, well that's because she was an angel. She did everything in her power to protect people from demons like Rei, she would go out late at night and inspect the towns and make sure no demons are out and about, and if they are, she'll slay them. She also helps lost souls pass on into the upper world. The two teens roles countered each other though. Gumi helped souls move into the upper world and Rei helped souls move into the underworld, even the souls that didn't belong. The two should be enemies, but Gumi was somewhat drawn to the demon. It wasn't a form of attraction, more like interest.

Gumi waited till everyone left and she stood up and walked over to the golden eyed demon. "Hello~!" She said warmly.

Rei looked up at the angel and gave her a cold stare. "What do you want Mrs. Good-Two shoes…" He said flatly. Rei also knew that Gumi was an angel, and wanted nothing to do with her. It was completely for Angel and Demons to have a relationship. Friendship, lovers, even talking to them was strictly forbidden, and the consequences were severe. She must know this, yet she still tries to talk to him. He never understood women, human or celestial.

"Nothing. I just wanted to talk." Gumi said smiling.

"Well I don't. So goodbye." Rei said, taking his things and leaving.

"But! Wait!" Gumi called out. She quickly grabbed her things and followed after Rei.

"Don't follow me, you'll know what'll happen if you do." Rei said, trying to scare the girl into leaving him alone.

"I know what'll happen, and I don't care."

Rei stopped and turned to face the green haired angel. "You got guts, I'll admit,"

Gumi smiled.

"But still, leave me alone." Rei began to walk away from the angel.

Gumi puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms over her chest. "Why are you so afraid?" Gumi said before quickly realizing what she just said. Probably not the best thing to say to a demon.

In a flash Rei was in front of the angel. "I am not afraid of anything. Leave me the fuck alone, or I'll slaughter you myself." Rei turned away and stormed off.

Gumi sighed. "I know you won't…" She said to herself before turning the other direction and walking off. She wasn't scared of Rei, and he wasn't afraid of her. She was taking a huge risk by talking to him, but she was willing to take it. Rei didn't seem like a terrible person, he was just really independent. He shut himself out from the outside world. Gumi wanted to open his world up a bit, was she trying to salvage him? Not really, once a demon always a demon, but she wanted to show Rei that just because he's a demon, he doesn't have to shut himself out from everything.

The next day was the same. Gumi almost fell asleep again. Late night on patrol. She glanced over at Rei, and he looked fine, not a single shred of tiredness. She wondered how he did it. She let out a small sigh.

"Megpoid!"

The girl jumped in her seat. "Uh, yes sir?"

"Someone dropped something off for you in the office. Go pick it up." The teacher commanded her.

Gumi nodded and got up and left the classroom. She walked over to the office and on the counter was a small bracelet of gold and silver. She picked it up and sighed. All angels were required to wear it. It was a tracker and a communicator. It was easy to hack the tracker into off mode, she did it all the time. No one questioned her about it though. Like Rei said, she was the goody two shoes. Did everything, and did it correctly, everyone trusted her. She turned off the tracker and slid the bracelet on her wrist. That's when the bell rang.

Gumi looked at the bracelet before walking back to her classroom where her stuff was waiting for her. She packed everything into her bag then she heard a piano. It was a peaceful and beautiful tone. Very classical. It was beautiful. Gumi followed the noise to the music room where she saw of all people Rei, sitting at the piano, playing the beautiful music. Gumi watched in admiration, listening to every note and absorbing it as if it was giving her new life.

When the song ended, Rei quickly stood up. "Why do you keep pushing yourself?" He asked, looking over at Gumi.

"I didn't know you could play the piano…" Gumi said, still in awe.

"Just forget about it…" Rei said, pushing past Gumi and walking down the hall.

Gumi quickly followed after him. "But it was so beautiful."

Rei ignored the girl.

"I never would of pictured someone like you playing music as beautiful as that."

Rei stopped. "Why? Because I'm a demon?"

Gumi shook her head. "No, because you're so secluded."

Rei sighed. "Why do you insist on talking with me?"

"No reason. Just felt like trying to make a new friend."

Rei was kind of shocked by the girl's response. "Even though it's forbidden?"

Gumi nodded. "Yep. To be honest, I don't even know why that rule exists. What's the danger of a demon and angel talking?"

Rei thought. She had a point. It's not like just by talking, the world would implode on itself. It was probably just a war of the realm sorta thing. "I was right, you do got guts."

Gumi giggled. "Why thank you."

Rei glanced down at the silver and gold bracelet around Gumi's wrist and instantly knew what it was. "Is it on?" He asked.

Gumi lifted her arm and looked at the bracelet. "No, I hacked it and turned the tracker off."

"How'd you do that?" Rei asked, somewhat interested.

Gumi shrugged. "I don't really know myself. I just push a few buttons and the hacker goes off."

Rei sighed. "You're weird." He said, starting to walk off.

Gumi followed him. "I have a question to ask."

"What?"

"How do you stay so energized?"

"What?" Rei asked confused.

"Well you patrol at night right?"

"I wouldn't call it 'patrolling." Rei said.

"Anyways, how do you stay up in class?"

"Unlike you, I don't need sleep."

"Really?"

Rei nodded. "Don't go thinking that I'm lucky either, sometimes I wish I can sleep and have dreams and nightmares, but I lost that luxury long ago."

"Oh, I see… well can't you still sleep anyways?"

"I can, but it won't do anything for me, and I don't have any dreams even when I do."

"That sucks…" Gumi said softly. She looked down at the floor. She stopped abruptly when Rei stopped.

"I go this way." He said pointing in the opposite direction Gumi lived in. She didn't even realize that they were outside. She kinda got sucked into the conversation they were having.

Rei began to walk away from the girl and head home.

"Hey Rei?" Gumi called out to him.

Rei turned. "What?"

"We should talk more?" Gumi smiled.

Rei chuckled. "Fine, whatever." He started walking again.

Gumi took that as a yes and smiled. She turned and started walking home. She didn't know if Rei considered her a friend, but she could feel herself getting closer to befriending him.
