Chapter 1: A lesson to not make a woman angry

OoO

"Ryoma-kun…"

The one being called looked back and eyed the one who called him. "What do you want Ryuuzaki" he asks bluntly.

"Ahmmmmm" Ryuuzaki Sakuno, the one who braided her long hair into two, was now blushing nervously. She was a very shy girl that always blushes and titters in front of almost every boy who talks to her.

Echizen Ryoma let an exasperated sigh. He somewhat hates her antics. She makes his patience thin. "Spill it out, Ryuuzaki!" he commanded a little too harshly.

Ryoma's a self-centered brat who does not care on the feelings of all the people around him. He was insensitive on almost everything. He does not care whether he was being complemented or insulted.

Sakuno jumped in surprise and her face reddened once more, if it was possible to be red even more. "Aahmmmm….. Y-you… know….ahmmmm.. c-can.. aa-I….." Sakuno started still do not know what to say.

Ryoma turned around and started to walk away.

Sakuno was shocked when her crush started to walk away so she called back.

"Ryoma-kun!" she shouted. Ryoma stop walking but did not turn around.

"Let's talk some other time when you already know what you wanted to say. I still needed to feed my cat." Ryoma answered and resumed his walk.

"ahmmm.. Ok" Sakuno answered, embarrassed.

OoO

The next day after class, Sakuno walks toward Ryoma's desk wearing a flushed face. "Ryoma-kun… I.. ah.. …"

When she looks up, she saw Ryoma walking out of the room.

Eyes wide, "Chotto matte kudasai, Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno called him back.

"I do not want to talk to you right now Ryuuzaki. I do not want to waste my time on you. Its much interesting to play with my cat rather than talking to your nonsense bubble." He then closes the door.

Hurt. Embarrassed. Sakuno can't help herself from crying.

"Do not cry, Sakuno-sama" this came somewhere on Sakuno's mind.

Sakuno sniffed and wipe away the tears running on her flushed cheeks. "I can't help myself, Marianne-san." She answered politely and calmly. She seems like used to talking on this 'Marianne' on her mind. She then felt a tinge of anger within her body. Her eyes widen and pleaded. "Marianne-san, do not be angry to him, kudasai…."

"Hmmmp! You're so kind! That will be your downfall someday.. Why don't you just let me handle him! I'll be good to him… very good indeed…" Marianne chuckled menacingly.

Sakuno shivered from the cold, evil voice on her mind. "Never Marianne-san! You'll hurt him!" she shouted thankful that no one was on the room right now other than her and the creepy living creature inside of her. She then takes deep breaths to calm herself. She didn't hear another word from the other voice but she still senses the evilness from it. She then takes one final deep breath and started to collect her things. She accidentally dropped something….

A skull…

"Oooopppsssss…"

"Be careful Sakuno-sama… That is my skull after all.." Marianne stated.

"Gomen ne" Sakuno apologizes. She picked up the skull and put it safely on her bag. She then concentrated her mind to build up her barrier preventing 'the other' creature from reading her mind. She then opened her eyes again and started to walk out of the room.

'Marianne-san will not do anything bad as long as I have the control over my body. Demo… if he really makes me depressed that bad, I know Marianne-san will be too angry and I might lose control over her' sigh. 'I do not want to hurt my love..' she then closes the door.

OoO

It was Friday and the classes were already over at Seishun Gakuen. The students were all in a hurry to go home because the weather was bad. It was cloudy and the smell of rain was lurking everywhere. Ryoma looks at the sky and sigh. He really hates rains. So he readied himself for a long run toward his house at the shrine when suddenly, someone snatches his arm.

"Ryoma-kun, wait.." it was Sakuno. Ryoma rolled his eyes. he turns towards her and snatched his arm back. "What is it this time, Ryuuzaki?"

"Ahm…" she is blushing yet again.

"Look Ryuuzaki, I do not have time for your antics and it will rain soon. I don't want to be soaked so spill it out!" Ryoma said, irritated.

Sakuno was surprised and embarrassed at the same time while the creature inside of her was already angry. She ignored her inner self and gather all of her guts to tell her feelings.

"Ryoma-kun… I… breath in TOAMOVIETHISSATURDAY…" she burst out a little to fast and it takes minutes for Ryoma to process the words said to him.

"You? Like? Me?" Ryoma queried.

"Hai!" Sakuno answered blushing madly.

Ryoma laughs.

A hard laugh.

Sakuno was surprised at the reaction she gets from the young prodigy. Surprised turns to embarrassment. Tears are now forming on his eyed while her inner self was very angry that any moment will snap.

Sakuno's breathing labored. She clutched her chest holding desperately to her control. But this thing remained unnoticed by Ryoma. "What's s-so F-f-funny?" she whispered. She can now feel the rage from her inner self trying to break free.

"Nothing." He answered then turns around and started to walk away, hands in his pocket, still chuckling.

"W-where are y-you g-going? Aren't you g-going to say a-anything besides n-nothing?" she was now angry. She doesn't know if it was really her feelings at that moment or from her inner self.

Ryoma turns around. "You know what? Just forget about it. Your feelings I mean." Sakuno's eyes went wide.

"W-why?" Sakuno asks quietly, tears freely flowing from her eyes.

Ryoma didn't notice that Sakuno was already crying and he still continue his arrogant speech. "You really want to know? Alright. I'll tell you. I do not like you at all. Really! I don't like you shyness. I don't like you being so soft. I don't like your too long hair. I don't like you always blushing. And the list goes on. You know what? It's much more fascinating to talk to my cat rather than talking to you. So for…." He stopped in mid sentence because he feels something unnerving.

Snapped.

Sakuno's face turns into something horrible. Her braided hairs lose free waving like crawling snakes. Her eyes turn bloody red. Three horns pop up on her head. Her skin turned into bluish-green with scales all over it. Moreover, two very long fangs grow on her gums.

It was like an oni masks.

A very dark aura was swirling all through out her body.

A shiver runs down on Ryoma's spine. He was frightened at the woman in front of him who glares hatefully on him. The once shy and quiet Sakuno turns into a well, an oni old hag from Ryoma's point of view. He backs off. "Ahm…. R-ryuuzaki?"

"How DARE YOU!" the creature in front of him yelled followed by a loud thunder. The voice was so deep and emanates evilness. "YOU INSENSITIVE SON OF A BITCH! HOW DARE YOU TELLING ME THOSE CRUEL WORDS!"

"Sorry.. I d-didn't-"

"AVAST! PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN!" a thunder again followed by a lightning. "You know what? I can easily kill you right now but my precious Sakuno do not want me too.. So…." She smirks evilly. "Since you wanted badly with your cat, why don't turn you into one!" with a flick of a finger, a dark aura surrounds Ryoma. Ryoma frozed, unable to do anything and for the first time in his life, he feels…

Hopeless.

His eyes burns… he desperately wanted to cry but he was so stubborn enough to keep himself from crying.

"BY THE POWER I HAVE WITHIN ME!"

Thunder.

Lightning.

"TURN THIS ATROCIOUS BASTARD INTO A CAT LIKE THE ONE HE VERY LOVE THEE!"

Boom!

Crack!

Clash!

"NOOOO!" a scream.

The rain started to flow..

The Seishun Gakuen ground was now empty of students.

A soft purr came from the grounds.

Silence.

The rain continues to pours lightly.

OoO
