Twisted

I have recently become a fan of Ao no Exorcist. I like the manga's plot, and well I am an avid fan of Méphisto. Such an entertaining character! So here is my first fanfic bout him and my OC, Rosalie.

Disclaimer
I do not own the Ao no Exorcist characters, only my OC. R&R. Thank you.

Feelings and Thoughts

"Love is a spell."

I stared at the words pensively. It was true. Just like a spell that would either befall you immediately or like a crawling curse that would sicken you slowly till you fully succumb to it.

I sighed remembering the past, as I closed the novel.

Staring at the window, I watched the train as it slithered through the lush fields. It was Spring, and I was travelling to Tokyo. I ran a hand through my auburn messy hair. Staring at my watch, I realised that I was arriving soon at my destination.

I was excited. One of my dearest dreams was coming true. I smiled again, as I pictured my friend Yuko waiting for me at the Station.

Something caught my attention, and I glanced to my right. A guy was staring at me awkwardly. My eyes narrowed slightly: the last thing I needed to ruin my mood was a stalking pervert or worse. I looked back at the window, as we were making it through the urban area now.

Yet, the uneasiness was still there. I cast the guy another glance, just to find him still staring, all smug and knowing. My heartbeat picked up speed, and I shivered. I wanted to yell, to tell him off, but I chose not to pick up a fight with a weirdo.

So I withdrew and left my seat.

Thankfully the guy, didn't follow me.

"Rosalie," I finally heard Yuko's cute voice calling me. The place was crowded, but I managed finally to see my friend.

"Yuko," I waved smiling.

I was surprised when she hugged me so strongly. I couldn't help but laugh. Yuko was a cool girl that I had known in London. She was different and interesting to say the least.

I blushed as people started looking and Yuko was not helping either.

"I missed you," she said in her cute voice and I blushed more.

"I know. Me too, Yuko," I said wrapping my arms around her warmly.

"So how was your trip?" Yuko asked.

"Good, I really enjoyed it," I said.

"Yukata!" she exclaimed and I couldn't help but smile.

"Well, I'm happy you're finally here. It's been a while," she said while checking her hand bag now.

"I know Yuko. Paris is lovely but Tokyo is something else! Like another world!"

She beamed at this.

We stopped at her flat door. Opening the door, she stepped aside, before she bowed welcoming me home.

"Okaeri, Rosa-chan," she said happily.

I bowed in turn, thanking her.

"Tadaimaa!"

Dinner was simple but delicious. I stretched slightly staring at Yuko who was sipping her soda and staring at TV. Some game show was going on and she laughed at one of the contestants' funny comment. I watched too; I loved the flashy colors and the funny faces the presenter was making.

The show was finally over. Yuko had left for the kitchen, looking for something, while I remained seated on my cushion, getting sleepy and leaning on the table.

Yuko returned and put a tea kettle and cups on the table.

"I'd like you to come with me tomorrow to see my cousin?" she suddenly said.

I didn't say anything, just watched her as she busied herself with the tea.

"It won't take long, I promise. I know you want to go shopping, right?" she winked.

"Eh, I don't mind Yuko," I replied taking a sip. "Isn't he the one in that prestigious academy you've told me about?"

Yuko clapped her hand. "Yes, the True Cross Academy. The most prestigious academy in all of Japan, Rosa chan!" she said waiving her hands before she closed her eyes and went on dreamingly, "so proud of my baby cousin!"

I took another sip watching the dreamy young woman.

We finally arrived at the gates and well I was blown away by the amazing architecture and scenery.

"Yuko! This building is huge!" I said pointing at the Academy.

The woman smiled at me. "I know. After all, it was built by Sir Johan Faust, a very wealthy man,' she said, smiling at me.

"No way!" I returned shocked.

"Yep," she said quickly checking her phone.

Wow.

"Ah there he is," Yuko said abruptly.

A young teen appeared before us, dressed in a dark uniform. "Ohayo, Yuko san," he said, bowing quickly.

"Rosa meet my cousin Kaito," she said stepping closer to the short boy, ruffling his hair, making the teen blush slightly.

"Ni-chan," he protested cutely. And we laughed.

"Nice to meet you, Kaito," I said, bowing.

The teen smiled cutely then bowed too. "Would you like to see the Academy?" he asked suddenly, much to our surprise.

Yuko shrieked, "Yes!"

We had walked around for a while in the gardens before we decide to sit down. From what we were told the students were on a short break. I was delighted to learn the info. This place was like the perfect school anyone could dream of.

Sitting under a tree, I watched the students in their uniforms as they walked by. Yuko was busy talking to her cousin, and sometimes checking some papers with him.

Crossing my legs, I leaned in the cold marble seat, enjoying the cold stone. An idea crossed my mind when I noticed a nearby grove. Standing up quickly, I turned to the two, "I'm just gonna check that grove, ok?"

The two stared at me.

"Wait," Yuko said.

"I won't be long, chill Yuko," I winked. Kaito just nodded.

Standing at the entrance of the dimly lit grove, I noticed the golden letter engraved on the upper gate frame.

M

I didn't think much of it as I started walking inside the cold tunnel. It smelled of plants, humidity, the wet earth and flowers. At the end of the tunnel, I could see the light, signaling the exit.

Reaching the heart of the grove, I was surprised to find a golden fountain. There were flowers around the majestic water work and looking up, I stared intensely at a golden statute of a handsome cloaked man. Getting curious, I stepped closer to get a better look at the fine details. The outfit was rather old fashioned and I wondered who the man was.

"cool," I said to no one in particular.

I remained there for a moment enjoying this pleasant secret place which brought back memories from Europe. I closed my eyes, and listened to the sound of the flowing water, the refreshing breeze as it rattled the surrounding trees, the aroma of the roses and the flowers at the base of the fountain.

Just like in a dream.

I turned sharply, when I heard faint steps behind me.

A white dog sat there watching me.

I let a breath out. The dog had startled me. Looking back at the cute fluffy animal, I noticed that it was still staring at me, interestingly if I may add!

Strange one! He isn't even barking!

I walked to the dog, his droopy eyes never leaving me. I crouched, and gestured with my hand, "come here doggy," I called, hand still gesturing.

But the dog didn't budge!

I blinked once, then smiled sheepishly. "Hmm! What's a dog like you doing in an academy? I asked out loud.

The dog just stared.

Then I noticed his pinky polka bow, and I couldn't help but smile widely.

"Aww, such a cute tie," I cooed. "Your master has a nice taste!"

Stretching my hand again, I gestured for the cute white Terrier to come closer. Much to my delight, it obliged this time. It moved closer, letting me finally pet its fluffy head. I laughed as it wagged its tails excitedly.

"Good doggy"
