Minoru

Since I was created, it was me who took the main control the most often. It was me who did the entire task, who kept a watch, who gave orders, who had the most time with Itsuki, our trusty demon. I used the word 'our' because he literally belonged to all seven personalities. It was an important fact, Shinobu should understand.

Honestly, I always hated Shinobu. I always thought it was unfair. Before the Black Black Club incident happened, he was the only one existed. He spent all years with Itsuki. He got the yaminade falling for him. But that night, Shinobu split up his personality just like that. Kazuya was born first and Shinobu just hid, not at all preventing the violent personality from causing harm at Itsuki. Shinobu let Kazuya hurting the demon.

Then I appeared, surprised and confused because when I opened my eyes, I was naked, and so was Itsuki, but the demon was bloody, bruised and wounded. "What happened?" The first sentence I spoke was a ridiculous rhetoric question. Sometimes I hated the fact that I was the personality who was charged in talking.

"Relieving Kazuya-san's stress," Itsuki used his elbows to sit up, "who are you by the way?"

"I'm Minoru."

A sad smile was presented in his pale face. But the demon managed to say, "Pleased to meet you, Minoru-san. I am Yaminade no Itsuki."

I didn't know why nor when I started to enjoy Itsuki's presence. I just... appreciated his loyalty and everlasting devotion. It was obvious that the one he cherished the most was Shinobu, then Naru, which I wondered still until now. Shinobu never appeared anymore. Naru had always been an annoying crybaby around Itsuki. What did the demon see in them?

I knew I wasn't doing any well either. I often looked cold, as if I didn't care, but that simply because for me, Itsuki was a distraction. I was born to make sure the plan was going well. I was born to fight for Shinobu's dream, no matter willing or not. I just couldn't show affection towards Itsuki. But I always hoped, perhaps one day, the yaminade would see my feelings, would know who cared for him the most out of the seven of us, would give up his desperate adoration for Shinobu.
