Hey everybody!!! As you all know. I have just finished my previous story, "Eve and The Six Brides" and now I'm onto my next one called "Divine Light" a Dance With Devils oc story. This one has always been in my mind and I can't wait to start working on this one!! So here is the first chapter, read it and tell me what you think of it so far. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Shikō Town, a place in Japan where all humans resided in peace and happiness. All was well there and you could say that there was nothing wrong with this town. But that's where you'd be wrong.
Shikō Town was not a safe place to live in for it is infested with vicious demons, vampires, devils, and all mythical creatures that prey on the weak and hope to seek power to rid of the human race and over rule this world.
Soft footsteps are heard on the cold concrete sidewalk as a young girl with a white cloak covering her little petite body walks. A long white cane is tapping ahead of her feet as she calmly walks down the darkening path ahead of her.
She didn't stop when all of the street lights that lit up the streets suddenly went out. She just continued to walk like nothing happened and she didn't stop until a gush of wind blew in front of her. It was like something flew past her, taunting her, telling her that something was watching her.
"I know you're here. There's no need for you creatures of the night to hide for I am blind and cannot find my way." The girl speaks.
About a minute later, a group of fanged beings appeared around her, sniffing and eyeing her hungrily.
"You're blind but you can sense us." One of them states.
"You are rewarded with remarkable senses when you have no sight. They help you survive the unknown world." She replies.
"Betcha they can't help you survive from the likes of us. We creatures of the night enjoy a midnight snack. Especially when one has such an exquisite scent like yours. I can imagine what your blood will taste like. Sweet and fresh like the finest wine yet."
"Be careful. It's not a good idea to attack an innocent and defenseless girl when there could be consequences." She states as brings her cane closer to her.
"Consequences?" One laughs. "Is that a threat?!"
"It's merely a warning. I wish for no chaos to occur nor have harm come to any of you." She says shaking her head. "It's best to heed my warnings for you will not be able to touch me so easily."
"Oh aren't you just precious? Sorry sweetheart but our thirst has no limits and once we see an opportunity to get what we want, we take it."
The group of vampires growls and snarls as they all begin to lunge at her. The cloaked girl calmly closes her eyes and whispers.
"Sororibus." (Sisters)
Three bright blue circle emblems appear on the stone ground around the girl and strong gushes of wind burst from them, stopping the bloodthirsty vampires from attacking.
The three emblem symbols are a pentagram star, the secret circle, and a camarilla. And from these three glowing emblems, emerged three cloaked female beings. The vampires hiss and snarl at the newcomers who drew out their weapons or activated their powers.
"I warned you." The girl says grimly before the three females suddenly lunge and attack the creatures, who had no chance of victory or survival.
Morning came and the sun arose in Shikō Town, shining its rays of light down upon the residents homes. Especially one that contained and protected a special girl: Ritsuka Tachibana.
Ritsuka is a very optimistic and strong-willed girl. She's independent and quite protective of the people she treasures the most. And as the daughter of Maria Tachibana, she is very responsible, such as taking care of household chores, cooking, shopping, etc. She is also shown to be amiable and hardworking.
Ritskua is a very special girl indeed. In fact she wields the power of the grimoire, what was once a book contained of magic spells and invocations, now resides within her as a vessel. Not only that but she's also the royal daughter of the demon king, Maksis.
And during her childhood years she had no clue about who she was and the grimoire until she was told about it by three devils: Rem Arlond, Urie Sogami, and Mage Nanashiro, and one fallen angel: Shiki Natsumezaka. These four creatures all sought to obtain the grimoire and tried to use Ritskua as a guide when they didn't know that she was the grimoire all along.
When they all were doing their part, they all eventually fell in love with her. Even her older brother, or cousin to be exact, Lindo Tachibana, was in love with her from when they were children.
Ritskua didn't return any of their feelings except for Rem Arlond, the heir of the Arlond family. He was the only one who captured her heart and though Rem denied for a while, he too had become infatuated with her.
Unfortunately after the grimoire's power had gone, he along with his accomplices went back into the demon realm. He had offered Ritskua to come live with him and be his queen but she declined and decided to stay with her family in the human realm.
They all vowed that they would all return someday and they did about a year later. They still remained their positions as the student council in Shikō Academy. Since then Rem and Ritsuka have had a close relationship. They were both happy they that they got to be together now. However it did stir up some intense jealously from the other devils and angel and not to mention Rem's fangirls.
Nothing could be better for Ritsuka, in fact her life is back to normal. For now.
It was a bright morning and both Ritskua and Lindo are dressed and ready to go to school.
"Alright mom, we're heading off to school now. You take care of yourself until we get back okay?" Ritsuka says before giving her mother a hug goodbye.
"I will and you take care yourself as well my dear. Do tell Mr. Kaginuki I said hello when you visit him today." She winks and giggles.
"Mom!" Ritsuka exclaims and blushes in embarrassment.
"Hahaha! Oh I'm just teasing you sweetheart. You have a good day you two." Maria chuckles as she's giving Lindo a hug.
"Thanks mom, we'll see you in a little bit."
He kisses her cheek and he and Ritsuka go out the door. They both walk all the way to their school, Shikō Academy and there they greet their group of friends.
"Hey Ritsuka! Hey Lindo!" A girl with long blue hair and glasses greet the two siblings.
"Oh hey Lana! How's it going?" Ritsuka asks.
"Oh my God, girl did you not hear? We got new students!"
"New students?" Lindo arches an eyebrow.
"Yeah they're all girls and I heard that they'll be here very soon." She looks at Ritsuka. "Oh and uh Ritsuka, someone wanted me to tell you that you have to escort them to the student council when they arrive."
Her eyes widen and Lindo glances at her in confusion.
"What me?" She gestures to herself. "W-Why do I have to?"
Lana shrugs. "I don't know. I guess the great Rem wants to see you, since you two are an item now." She grins and Ritsuka sighs, blushing.
Lindo just looks away and a tint of sadness hits his eyes until he shook it off.
"I'm never gonna hear the end of this aren't I?" She asks before walking away with her friend and brother. "It's bad enough that everyone's talking about it."
"Well you are the only girl who captured the heart of Rem Kaginuki. Or more like the whole student council. They sure take a real shine to you whenever you're there with them." Lana says in a matter-of-fact tone.
She just rolls her eyes as she remembers the times that the student council just tried to gain her affections. They still do it but not as much as they used to since they know that she belongs to Rem now. But to them it still doesn't hurt to try.
"Oh wow! Is that them?"
"The new students?"
"Wow they're so pretty!"
The three stop and look up ahead as they see a cluster of students in the hallway, watching four people walk in their direction. Four females to be exact.
One of them is a beautiful tall brunette wearing an orange and red hanfu dress with black high heel boots. Her dark chocolate brown hair is in a fancy bun and her eyes are a fiery red orange color and part of her face was behind a orange and red fan she was carrying. She looked sophisticated and fierce for a young lady.
Another one is a tall blonde with emerald green eyes. Her hair is wavy and it reaches down past her shoulders, framing her beautiful face. Her outfit is a short brown leather jacket, skirt, and boots with black leggings and a top. She had a black choker necklace and fingerless gloves on her hands too. She looks pretty daring and bold, like she could defend herself pretty easily.
Another has long wavy fuchsia hair and purple lavender eyes. Her outfit is a black leather jacket with a collar that wraps around her neck, dark blue jeans, and black knee length combat boots. She looks dangerous and cautious, like she's a dedicated bodyguard keeping an eye out for anything suspicious or threatening.
Finally there is the last girl. She's an albino with long straight white hair with a few curls to the side, yellow golden eyes, and pale skin. She taps her white cane in front of her as she walks forward, since she appears to be blind. She's wearing a short white dress with dark blue lining along with a dark blue vest. Her socks are up to her knees and she's wearing dark blue platform sandals. She looks completely innocent and pure. She even wore a kind smile to go with her bright and friendly aura.
Lana stares in awe at them. "Oh. My. God. That can't be them! They're so gorgeous! They look like freaking super models!"
"Ugh, if that's true then hopefully they're not snotty and rotten like some are." Ritsuka wishes to herself.
Lindo narrows his eyes at the four girls. He didn't know why but something about them didn't make him feel right. He wraps his hand around the hidden crucifix that he used multiple of times to deport and kill many demons and monsters.
"Well I suppose I better introduce myself to them and take them to the student council." Ritsuka says.
"Have fun!" Lana says waving.
"Be careful Ritsuka." Lindo warns concernly.
Even though his sister is safe from the vampires now, he still felt uncomfortable whenever she went somewhere alone with any strangers.
"Don't worry Lindo! I'll be fine!" She smiles assuringly and walks up to the four girls.
As if she sensed her, the blind albino girl halts and so do the rest of the females. They all stare at her and it made Ritsuka feel a little awkward.
"Um. Are you the new transfer students?" she asks hoping she doesn't get a snarky remark from any of them.
It got quiet for a minute until the young blind girl smiles and steps forward.
"Why yes we are. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss...?"
"Oh! I'm sorry, my name is Ritsuka. Ritsuka Tachibana." She extends her hand out to her.
"Miss Tachibana!" She says in slight surprise as she shakes her hand.
The blonde steps forward and sets her hands on her hips.
"You're supposed to be our escort right?" She asks and Ritsuka nods.
"Oh thank God! I was afraid that we'll have some lame ol' fart to take us the student council. Guess we got lucky huh Yurina?" She elbows the brunette, who glares at her disapprovingly.
"Hold your tongue Chinatsu, you ungrateful girl! We are at a private school and you must show some respect at once! Disgraceful!" She fans herself after she huffs.
The blonde frowns at the brunette and rolls her eyes before shaking her head.
"You now what you are Yurina? A killjoy. As always."
"Well at least I have manners and don't dress up like a dangerous wanna be trollop!"
"Oh please, your type of fashion makes you look like an old hag." She crosses her arms and earns a gape from the brunette.
"Ah! Old hag?! How dare you say such a horrible thing you ungrateful little tramp!!"
"Tramp? Ha! You even talk like a hag!" She laughs.
"That's enough." The pink haired woman says seriously. "We're not here to pick a fight with each other like bratty little kids."
The young girl chuckles softly and releases Ritsuka's hand, who was unsure what to say right now.
"You'll have to forgive them. My sisters don't really get along with each other that much."
"S-Sisters?" She looks up at the others. "You're all related?"
"Not quite. We all adopted each other and considered ourselves as sisters." She says.
"Oh. I see." She nods. "And what are your names?"
"If I may Miss Tachibana, I'd prefer if we introduced ourselves to the student council so we won't have to repeat our names. If that's alright with you?" She says, waiting for her permission.
Ritsuka waves her hands. "Oh no, no! Yes, of course! I don't mind that at all! Uh please follow me!"
She turns around and mentally kicks herself for being stupid. She takes the girls all the way up to the stairwell of the third library. To be honest she's a little nervous for them to meet the student council. All except Rem are womanizers and God only knows how they'll act around these girls.
"Alright, we're almost there. We just have to go up the stairs now." She says before going up the stairwell.
When she was at a far distance from them, the young girl turns her head to the others.
"Are you sure that they won't know anything about us?" She asks nervously.
"Relax Emi! Yurina put a spell on us that'll make those devils think that were human! They won't sense a thing so you have nothing to worry about!" The blonde pats her head before they all walk up the stairs as well.
"Though there is one thing I'm not looking forward to. I heard that these guys are really hot and you know what that means."
"What's that Chinatsu?" She asks curiously as she guides herself up the stairs with the help of her other sister.
"They're gonna sing. I just know it."
And right on cue, upbeat background music plays and books flip open on the tables inside the council room.
"Yep. Called it."
Rem: Give up, checkmate, It's time to confess
All: Say yes
"What in the world is this?!" The brunette thinks to herself as she and the others sense the musical going on within the room.
Urie: Come along little butterflies, I will enchant you with a sigh
All: We love you sweet soul
"Disgraceful." She huffs quietly and fans herself.
Mage: You will become mine, Leap and embrace you
All: Kiss you
"Oh brother." The blonde rolls her eyes.
Shiki: Poor little you, I will break you gently
All: worship us
"The music is quite catchy, I'll say that much. Their voices are melodic as well." The young girl thinks to herself.
Shiki: Everybody's hearts
Mage: Will be stolen
Urie: To the ends of eternity
Rem: They will fall
All: Charmingly, Sweetly, Labyrinth of Depravity
"Cocky bastards." The pink haired woman thinks.
We are Shiko Academy's
Student council of the third library
We bless who come
And bestow a seal
All of the females arrive to the top and face the door.
The forbidden flower garden
Shiko Academy student council
You can't run now
From our captivating charm
"I don't know whether to laugh or throw up now." The blonde rolls her eyes.
They all walk up to the doors and Ritsuka turns to them.
"Uh wait here for a minute. I'll tell them that you're here and I'll let you know when to come in okay?"
They all nod and she goes inside. She sighs when she closes the door and walks further in the huge elegant library.
"Rem? Rem! Is anyone here?" She calls out to whoever might be here.
"Why if it isn't my little butterfly." A seductive and gentle voice says from behind her.
Ritsuka turns around and faces a handsome man with light brown hair, yellow golden eyes, and who is wearing a white suit. This man is formally known as Urie Sogami.
"It's so nice to see you again my dear, I've been waiting to see you again." He twirls a rose in his hand gracefully. "Did you come here to see me?"
"Uh no-no actually. You see I was told that I had to-"
"Oh please, no one would ever come here to see a pansy like you man!"
A buff man with longish yellow hair and eyes, walks up and pushes aside Urie. A man called Mage Nanashiro.
"It's obvious that she would come here to see me. I mean a girl's gotta love a strong man like me huh babe?" He grins at Ritsuka, who earns an annoyed glare from Urie.
"You two are really ridiculous." A dark haired man appears from the shadows to join the group.
"Oh great here comes the creeper." Mage grumbles.
"You have some nerve to call us ridiculous Shiki." Urie says to the fallen angel, known as Shiki Natesumezaka. "Given the fact that you are a masochist and an unwanted angel by the heavens."
"Oh leave me alone! At least Ritsuka accepts me for who I am, don't you Ritsuka?" He smiles sweetly at her, who sighs and places her hand on her face.
"That's enough from you all." A deep voice orders firmly.
The voice belonged to a handsome man with sandy blonde hair, turquoise eyes, and who wore a blue suit. The heir to the Arlond throne and Ritsuka's significant other, Rem Kaginuki.
Ritsuka's eyes brighten up when she sees him here while the others glare with disappointment and annoyance now that their fun with Ritsuka is over. He walks over to Ritsuka and wraps his around around her shoulders, making her blush.
"I sent her up here to escort our new transfer students, which have arrived now." He informs, earning surprised looks from the other devils and angel.
"Transfer students? How odd. At this time of year?" Urie asks with interest.
"These girls have just settled in this town and they all wish to attend this school. I don't see a reason to refuse them."
"Ah some fresh meat huh? This oughta be good." Mage grins mischievously.
"It is rather exciting to meet more girls that wish to attend here." Shiki grins creepily.
"Send them in!" Rem calls to a loyal servant that appeared near the doors.
The servant nods and opens the doors, letting in the four women. Everyone except for Rem and Ritsuka, gawks at them with shock and awe.
"Whoa." Mage says.
"You can say that again." Shiki says with slight excitement in his voice.
"This certainly has gotten a lot more interesting." Urie taps his rose on his lips, eyeing the four gorgeous women, mainly the brunette.
Rem and Ritsuka both approach the women and they all stare at them.
"I'm glad that you all could make it. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Rem greets and the young girl smiles politely and pleased.
"The pleasure is all mine Mr. Kaginuki. It's such an honor to be here in this wonderful school." She curtsies.
"My she has quite the manners." Urie states quite impressed.
"I'm sorry but I don't believe I got your full names." Rem informs.
"Oh! Of course, how silly of us!" she exclaims in realization and clears her throat. "My name is Emilia Bana. But I prefer to be called Emi."
The brunette curtsies. "My name is Yurina Adachi, a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"Chinatsu Hirai. Nice to meet you boys." The blonde winks.
"Sakura Tsundra." The pink haired woman says crossing her arms.
"I'm really happy you decided to accept us attending to Shikō Academy. I have to say that the people here are very nice. Especially Miss Tachibana, she was very kind to escort us here." Emi points her cane at the pair.
Rem notices her cane and glances up at her. "Forgive me for asking you this Miss Bana, but are you supposedly-"
"Blind? Why yes. I've been blind since the day I was born. An unfortunate thing for me, never to see the world and such, but I really don't mind it all. I still have my other senses to get around."
"I see and I suppose that you'll need your sisters to be in class with you?" He asks.
"Yes but not all of them. I wish for them to explore and have a bit of free time without having me to watch over. Each and every one of my sisters will share a class with me, for I cannot be separated from them."
"I understand. I will make sure that your request is taken care of as soon as possible." Rem says earning an appreciated smile from Emi.
"Thank you kindly Mr. Kaginuki. I'm sure that we will enjoy our time here."
"Yeah, this place is pretty lit. I mean aside from having to wear the uniforms, I think I can deal with this place!" Chinatsu looks around quite impressed by the decorations.
"How shocking." Yurina rolls her eyes. "The dropout delinquent actually likes a school for once." She fans herself with her fan. "Perhaps there is hope for this one."
"Hey did you guys hear that?" Chinatsu cups her ear. "Is that the sound of a dying old cow I hear?"
Yurina whips her fan shut in a second and smacks the blonde on the head with it.
"I have had enough of you and your impertinent remarks, you pathetic excuse of a woman!!" She yells.
"Oh are you now? Well what are ya gonna do 'bout it? You gonna fight me grandma? Cause I'd love to see what you got." Chinatsu taunts her.
Yurina growls in extreme rage. "Oh just you wait! Before you even know it, you'll be groveling on the ground, begging me to spare you!"
"Yeah right! You can't even put a scratch on me even if you tried. So keep dreaming you old hag!"
The two women growl viscously at each other, like they're going to pounce at each other any second now.
"Looks like there's gonna be a cat fight." Mage states, quite amused and slightly anxious to see what happens next with the two females.
"Ladies, ladies! There is no need for you to fight with each other."
They look over and see Urie approach them. He eyes Yurina who stares back at him with slight annoyance.
"Especially when one of them is so lovely like a full rose in bloom." He gently takes her hand in his and places a soft kiss on her gloved hand.
Yurina almost growls in disgust when he kissed her hand.
"And who might you be?" She asks firmly, pulling her hand away and rubbing it on her dress.
"My name is Urie Sogami." He extends his rose out to her. "Enchante my dear."
She crosses her arms and glares at him. "You know, if you have any troubles with anything, you can always come seek me out for help. It'd be my honor to serve a beautiful woman like you my dear butterfly."
She stares at him unfazed and rather disgusted.
"Thank you, I appreciate your... kind offer." She sarcastically says with bitterness with her voice. "But that won't be necessary since I don't affiliate myself with disgusting and despicable worms such as yourself."
That caught Urie by surprise. She just flat out rejected him like he did something to her. She didn't even falter from his charms like most girls would do. Even Ritsuka got flustered when he confronted her the second time they met. The woman whips out her fan and brings it up to her face.
"Hmph!" She turns and walks away from him.
"Oho! Ouch." Chinatsu snickers while Mage laughs.
"Yurina, that wasn't very nice of you. Mr. Sogami was just being nice." Emi says to the brunette, who scoffs and humphs again.
"You're too kind hearted Miss Bana."
She couldn't see but she knows that someone is beside her. Which is Shiki.
"If anything you should be agreeing with her."
"May I ask who you are?" She asks turning to him.
"I'm Shiki Natesumezaka. It's very nice to meet you Miss Bana." He greets before hugging himself. "You poor thing. It must be tough not being able to see anything. So defenseless and so vulnerable. Don't you know the horrible possibilities that can happen to a radiant and pure girl like you?" A slight blush appears on his cheeks as horrid images come to his mind. "Thinking about it just makes me shudder."
Emi smiles and chuckles softly. "My you're quite the unique person, aren't you Mr. Natsumezaka?"
Now he's caught off by surprise. Mostly every girls would be creeped out by the way he thinks or speaks to them in his own creepy manner. But Emi just smiled and resumed like she wasn't weirded out by him and his words at all. Which she isn't.
"Like I said, it's unfortunate, but I have my other senses to get around. Like my hearing and touching. For instance, I know that you're standing right beside me, approximately three feet away and that you're hugging yourself right now."
She steps forward towards him and raises her hand up to his face, where she can feel the warmth from his cheeks radiating.
"I can also tell that you're blushing." She says after removing her hand and stepping away from Shiki.
He stares at her in surprise along with the rest of the members.
"That's... quite accurate and very impressive Miss Bana." Rem compliments.
"Oh c'mon! There's no way that she's blind!" Mage states as he rises up from his seat.
"Who's that?" Emi asks.
"Miss Bana, meet our student council secretary, Mage Nanashiro." Rem introduces the blonde devil to the young blind girl.
"I know for a fact that no blind person can tell all with just their senses." He walks up to her and Emi smile more.
"You'd be surprised Mr. Nanashiro. Sometimes the impossible can be inevitable."
"I dunno. I think somethin's up."
Emi tenses and stiffens when she felt Mage pinch her chin and tilt her head up.
"You ain't tryin' to pull a fast one us, are ya kid?" He questions, trying to search a hint of sight in her eyes.
"M-Mr. Nanashiro!" She stammers fearfully.
A strong hand grabs ahold of Mage's arm and yanks it away. Mage looks over and sees Chinatsu.
"I wouldn't touch her if I were you Hotshot." She warns. "Otherwise this happens."
She then spins around and flips him over her shoulder, landing straight on his back in a split second. The wind literally got knocked out of the blonde devil when he hit the floor and mostly everyone is staring at Chinatsu in shock.
"Chinatsu!" Emi exclaims when she heard the big thud.
"We only got one rule to establish here. No one touches our sister unless it's shaking hands. Break that rule, you get an ass whooping. Got that?" She asks Mage, who seemed to be caught off guard about what just happened still. He was not expecting that to happen.
"The same goes for you too you little creep." She points to Shiki. "Don't you get any closer to her than you are now."
"Chinatsu that was very unnecessary! There was no need to hurt Mr. Nanashiro like that!" Emi scolds the blonde.
"Oh please Emi, the guy's fine. I just thought I'd let him know what he's getting himself into. You know what they say: Think before you act." She shrugs nonchalantly.
"Still! It was very mean and-"
"Absolutely barbaric and very unladylike of you!" Yurina adds. "Have you already forgotten that he is a student council member, you ignorant degenerate?! What on earth were you thinking?!"
"Hey, no one asked for a hag's opinion! So stuff it you old cow!" She snaps back.
"Why you-"
"Whoa, you're pretty strong for girl." Mage says while getting back on his feet and dusting himself off. "Didn't expect ya to take me down like that."
"Heh. You think that was impressive? You only got what was half of my strength Hotshot. You don't know just how strong I can be and I suggest that you don't try to challenge it since I can really pack a mean punch." She smirks proudly while Mage just grins at her.
"Oh I like you. You're pretty cool for a hot chick." He leans down toward her face, trying to set his charms out on her. "So how 'bout it babe? You wanna get with a guy that can guarantee you to have the time of your life?"
Chinatsu scoffs and chuckles in amusement. "If it's gonna be with you then I'm gonna have to take a hard pass on that. I mean I just flipped you off my back and if you can't handle a girl kicking your sorry ass then you don't got what it takes to keep up with me. Plus... " She pushes his face away from hers by putting her finger on his forehead. "You're not my type. Sorry buddy."
Urie snickers softly as he saw Mage's face when she rejected him.
"Looks like Mage just got burned again! Should I call the whambulance this time?"
"Shut your pie hole you damn pansy!! Otherwise I'll come over there and kick your ass!"
"Are you sure you can do that this time? Or should you have her do that for you?" He nods to Chinatsu and laughs.
"I was caught off guard, she's not that strong!!!" He barks at him.
"Wanna bet on that?" She crosses her arms and eyes him.
Rem clears his throat while Ritsuka looks around nervously. This was getting intense with the bickering and threats.
"If you all are finished, I will give you your uniforms now."
With a sigh of relief from Emi and Ritsuka, a groan from Chinatsu, and the roll of the eyes from Yurina and Sakura, they all head over to Rem's desk, where he got their uniforms out from.
"I will give you a schedule and each of you will choose a class you wish to share with your sister. Once you all are in agreement, the rest of you may choose the rest of the classes that are to your liking." He informs as he hands them their uniforms and schedule.
"Thank you Mr. Kaginuki." Emi bows her head to him. "You've been very kind and very patient with us and for that I'm grateful. I do apologize for my sister's behavior though."
"There's no need to apologize Miss Bana. Their type of behavior is nothing new around here." He eyes Urie and Mage then looks back at her. "I trust you all can find your way around?"
Emi nods once and so does he to her. "Good. You all may leave now." He looks at Ritsuka. "Make sure they find their way out before you go back to class."
She smiles and nods while Emi turns her head around like she's trying to face the other council members.
"It was very nice meeting you all gentlemen." She then turns to Shiki. "And you as well Mr. Natsumezaka."
He stares at her and grins. "Call me Shiki. I certainly do hope that you and I will be able to meet again and have pleasant conversations with one another Miss Bana."
She smiles more and closes her eyes. "I look forward to it as well. Shiki."
She then turns around and uses her cane to guide her as she walks away with the rest of her sisters and Ritsuka. But both Chinatsu and Yurina give Mage and Urie a quick glare before they left.
When they all are gone, the devils and fallen angel stay quiet for a while.
"Is it just me or does anyone else think that there's something quite unusual about those women?" Urie asks curiously as he inspects his rose.
"Yeah, I thought that too. No chick has ever been able to take me down with that kind of strength. No mortal one that is." Mage says.
"You think they're not human?" Shiki asks.
"You've seen it. They resisted your charms and no mortal women could ever do that unless they had any items that repel demons. And I saw nothing." Rem says.
"There's something else." Urie states. "They all smell like human but there's a hint of something inhuman within them. I just can't tell what."
"Eh so what? It doesn't matter if they're human or not. If anything I like a good challenge. They seem to be harmless anyways."
"Especially Miss Bana." Shiki says with interest. "She's as pure and kind as an angel. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what she is. But I would be very happy." He chuckles sinfully.
"Man, I thought for sure she would get freaked out by you. I mean who wouldn't?" Mage asks.
"At least she doesn't throw me to the ground like her sister. Though that would be very satisfying." He grins.
"I really didn't expect her to take me down like that. How was I suppose to know that I couldn't lay a hand on the kid?"
"Well she is blind and pure, I suppose they don't want her to be corrupted with a touch of a disgusting being such as yourself." Urie states and Mage glares at him now pissed off.
"Look who's talking you little worm!! You barely got anywhere with that other girl! She flat out rejected you like you were nothing but trash!"
"That little butterfly is obviously too shy to express her true feelings. It'll only be a matter of time before she falls into my web and dedicates her heart to me."
"Whatever dude! You don't have a chance in hell with her."
"Just like you don't have a chance with the blonde one?" Shiki questions on amusement.
"You kidding?! I'll have that girl by the end of the week!" He snaps his fingers. "There's no way I'm not her type. Girls like her obviously like strong, handsome guys like me!"
"We'll keep an eye on them just in case. But we'll give them their space until they get settled in." Rem says as he takes his seat. "In the mean time we need to discuss about what my father has assigned for us to find and obtained this time."

"Good God, could those guys be anymore pathetic?" Chinatsu crosses her arms behind her head as her and her sister's walk down the halls.
"Absolutely disgraceful." Yurina huffs. "Who are they to flaunt themselves and try to flatter us with their insincere words and charms. It's sickening and horrid!"
"They were just trying to be nice. If anything you should take it as a compliment since they seem to be entranced by your beauty." Emi says sweetly.
"Oh Emi you're just too sweet sometimes y'know that kiddo?" Chinatsu pats her head.
"Yes darling, you're too pure and innocent to understand what men are truly like. Especially with devils like them." Yurina rolls her eyes with bitterness in her voice.
"The only one who didn't get hit on was Sakura, which in fact has been pretty quiet this whole time." Chinatsu glances at the silent woman. "Oi, what's up with you Sakura? You barely said a word in there. Something on your mind? Or is it that time of month again?" She asks cautiously hoping to God it's the first one.
"There was no reason for me to be involved since you all did the talking." She says closing her eyes.
"So? You could've at least said a few more words. Whenever you're quiet, you're either pissed off or deep in thought."
She says nothing and Chinatsu sighs while rolling her eyes.
"Okay fine Miss Anti-Social. Have it your way."
They all go to a bathroom to change and come out when they're all dressed.
"Ugh God. I hate school uniforms." Chinatsu says as she tugs at her jacket.
"Oh hush up you! If anything it's better than what you normally wear for attire." Yurina says making Chinatsu mimic her quietly.
"Alright, let's see what kind of classes there are." Emi says handing the schedule to Sakura.
"I'll take Calculus and Biology with her." She says before giving it to Yurina.
"Art and Music." She says while giving it to Chinatsu.
"Then that just leaves me with just English and History. Boring!" She crumples up the schedule and tosses it over her shoulder.
"Alright its settled then. What's my first class and who gets to accompany me there?" Emi asks rather excited.
"Your first class to attend is Art. So I shall be the one to accompany you." Yurina gestures to herself.
"Then it will be me, Chinatsu, Yurina again, rinse and repeat." Sakura informs.
"Great! Let's go then!" She says before Yurina takes her hand in hers to guide her.
"You better not cut any classes this time young lady or so help me I will punish you for it." Yurina warns Chinatsu before walking away with Emi.
The blonde pulls her skin down from under her eye with one finger and sticks her tongue out to her.
"Nya nya nya! 'Don't skip anymore classes or so help me.' Ah shut it you old bat." She grumbles to herself while Sakura straightens her blazer. "You know she really needs to lighten up from this whole medieval manners thing. This ain't the 17th century anymore y'know!"
"If it bothers you so much then maybe you should be considerate and actually grow up. You know fully well that we have to keep our guard up 24/7 now. For Emi's sake." Sakura bluntly says before walking away.
Chinatsu scoffs and crosses her arms. "Pbft. Whatever. You know what? I think you need to lighten up too! You're always too tense and serious about everything! Lose the stress girl!" She calls out before going her own way.
Sakura keeps walking down the hall as Chinatsu went her own way. As she's looking around, she spots Ritsuka from afar with her friends and Lindo. She stares at her for a minute until she looks away and resumes walking.
She thought it was funny how the heir to the Arlond throne could actually be with a sweet and innocent girl like Ritsuka. He seemed to be pretty close with her and she also wonders if she has any idea of who he is.
"Oh hey Sakura!"
The female stops in her tracks and turns her head to see Ritsuka jogging over to her.
"Oh great."
It's not that she doesn't like Ritsuka. She's just not a really big fan of being social with other people. She'd rather be left alone.
"Miss Tachibana. Shouldn't you be in class?" She asks.
"Actually, our classes don't start until 8:30. We have at least 25 minutes."
"Oh." She nods. "I see. Well I was just going to see what suitable classes there are for me to attend."
"Oh well if you want, I'd be more than willing to show you around the school. I mean I did escort you and your sisters to the student councils, I might as well show you around too."
She gets nervous as Sakura stares at her. Her stare could literally make people freeze like statues. Sakura is really debating whether she should refuse her offer or not. Again she is anti-social but she doesn't know this school at all and she might as well will get help from someone she's already met.
"Alright. I guess I could allow that. Thank you Miss Tachibana."
"Oh there's no need to be so formal!" She waves her hands. "Just call me Ritsuka."
"Ritsuka. Okay." Sakura nods and Ritsuka takes her arm, guiding her back to her friend and brother, who grew a little more concerned when he saw Ritsuka bringing Sakura over.
"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet one of the new transfer students." She says once her and Sakura are there. "This is Sakura Tsundra." She gestures to her before looking at her.
"Sakura this is my good friend, Lana." She gestures to the girl with blue hair and glasses.
"Hi! It's nice to finally meet you Sakura!"
"Likewise." She replies and Ritsuka gestures to Lindo now. "And this is my older brother, Lindo Tachibana."
She looks over at the redhead and stares. Lindo stares at her as well and it stays like that until he extends his hand out to her.
"It's nice to meet you Miss Tsundra. Welcome to Shikō Academy, I hope you'll like it here."
She slowly accepts his hand like she's being cautious and shakes it. It creates some kind of tense and awkward aura between the two. Kind of like the time when Lindo met Rem the first time.
"Thank you Mr. Tachibana. I'm sure I will." Sakura finally manages to say before releasing his hand.
Ritsuka looks over at both of them confused and a little nervous.
"Uhh. So I'm gonna be showing her around the school since she's new here so in case you haven't noticed me in my classes, I'll be doing just that." She tells Lindo.
"Maybe I should come with you? Just in case?" Lindo glances briefly at Sakura again after he looked at his sister.
Ritsuka sighs and rolls her eyes, preparing to tell him the hundredth time that she'll be fine on her own.
"I can assure you Mr. Tachibana, that your sister will be safe if that's what you're worried about." Sakura says. "She's a nice girl and I highly doubt that anyone would try to harm her. And if so, I'd be the one to take care of them. Immediately." She firmly hints on that.
Whoa. She went full on protection mode right there and that surprised Ritsuka and Lana. Lindo wasn't still sure about this woman. But seeing how she firmly swears to keep Ritsuka safe does assure things for him. Though he still doesn't trust her in particular.
Sakura turns around and walks away while Ritsuka snaps out of her surprised state.
"Uhh. So I'll see you guys later! Don't wait up!" She waves at them before running after Sakura.
"Wow. Sakura sure is a serious one. She's scary." Lana says staring after Sakura and Ritsuka.
"Yeah." Lindo agrees as he stares suspiciously.
Lindo's hand covers his chest area where his cross pendant is. There's something very strange about that woman. He didn't know what but he'll have to keep a close eye on her for she could be dangerous or could not be human at all. He will watch her very very closely.
