Konnichiwa people. So this one is actually 'I am Ema's story which I took over last month. She wasn't interested anymore in doing a Keima/Elsie fiction so being a diehard as I am, I volunteered to author the story on behalf of her. Hope you enjoy my version.
ZWENJOY!
"Kami nii-sama. It's almost time to go home." Said a concerned Elsie to her God brother.
"Wait, I am just a step away from completing this game." Said Keima, pressing the buttons harshly on his PFP to complete the gal game.
"Huh!" Elsie sighed, then she smiled. According to the information given by her chief Dokuro, by the help of all the soul catchers, 499 loose souls had been captured. Amongst that number, Haqua had captured 44, Elsie had captured 15 and others had done the rest. Not all the souls were captured by kissing 15 girls though, but her buddy, her 'Kami nii-sama' had done better than she had imagined.
They were sitting on a bench in a park, Elsie watching her brother complete the game.
Brother... Many of the students at their school knew them to be siblings. But some knew, or just estimated, that they were not siblings.
"Oh, this game contains a bug, and there I was just on the verge to end it..." Keima gave a droopy reply.
Elsie smiled. That smile was not a smile of laughter, it was a smile of pain.
She has to leave him soon...
Soon, the last soul will be captured...
Soon, the ring around Keima's neck will be removed...
Soon, she won't be considered a human anymore...
Soon, she won't be able to...see him...anymore...
Small tears presented themselves on her eyes. She knew that she was a demon. She won't be able to stay here for long.
It has been just a year since Elsie had come to the human world. But it seemed like it had been her home for the whole 300 years of her life…
"Elsie?"
Elsie dropped out of her thinking. "Yes, Kami nii-sama?" She replied hurriedly.
"How many loose souls are left?" He asked.
"Well as per my information there are 20 but they're minor and can be captured easily. But there is only one we need to worry about. But maybe that too could get caught if we all get together." She replied in a sweet tone.
"So as per your information, what happens when all of them get caught?"
Elsie startled, looked at Keima with an amused face. "Why would you wanna know?" She asked.
"No, I mean, we've been through a lot lately. I can't wait to get out of this contract so that I can focus more on my games." Keima said coolly. He remembered the first day when he had met Elsie. Elsie had immerged out of a dark hole like thing.
Elsie said nothing. After some time, she whispered, "The one who has captured the most souls will be awarded medals."
"Oh, I see." Said Keima.
"Well, have you sensed yet another soul. Or at least the one you call the 'Boss' soul?" Asked Keima.
"No. Dokuro said it is the fiercest of all the souls. The largest one. It tries to suck the heart itself. Moreover..."
"Moreover what?"
"Moreover, it's so powerful, it can dwell even inside demons. Its presence is very hard to sense."
Keima gulped. "Demons?"
"Yes, so the possibility that it will be found inside a demon is more than to find it inside a human."
"It is demonic!" Said Keima. "Well good, we don't need to catch it if it won't be inside humans. I don't have to kiss another real girl."
"Yes maybe. I really don't know. I just wish that it gets caught before we get into any trouble," she said calmly.
'Yeah, maybe you're right", he said, ignoring her and starting his PFP.
"Come on kami nii-sama, let's go home." Her irritating smile... Well that's better than seeing her as a captive for a ghost, right?
"What, not inside ningen but demons?" Haqua shouted.
"Yes, and I think, a fellow friend from hell is in danger." Said Nora.
"Don't tell me..." Haqua was shocked.
"Well I'm not confirmed that it's her but she's been less cheerful lately", Nora rapped.
"So what do you think are the possibilities of it being inside of her? I mean she's safe for now right?" Haqua said, concern flooding her voice.
"Yes, for now. But if she keeps on getting depressed she could harm herself and…"
"Wait Elsie, I am coming for you. I am coming for you." Haqua flew in her scythe to protect her friend.
"Hey, I wasn't finished yet! Unfaithful brats!' Nora cursed to herself.
"El-chan." Said Mari. "Help me please."
"Hai!" said Elsie.
"These dishes are too many for me to clean. I am glad to have you in my house." Said mother.
Elsie said nothing. A short sigh escaped her lips.
"El-Chan?!..."
"Okaa san do you think, Nii-sama cares for me?"
"Why?"
"I mean, we are not real siblings..."
"Of course he does..."
"Huh?!"
Elsie was surprised. Mother said that Keima is weird, but a kind hearted kid. "He cares for everyone."
Elsie went out on the terrace after cleaning the dishes. Her garment blew a little. A dark shadow hided the frontiers of her vibrant amethyst orbs and her mind was blank.
"What did she mean by everyone? He never cares for me. He never listens to me. He never wants to eat my cooking or appreciate me. I am with him only to catch the spirits. He doesn't want anyone to help him, especially me. And I…well why do I can't get around without him? Why does it matter to me so much? We're only sibling after all…"
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a sudden swish of wind. She turned around only to be met with a familiar face.
"Elsie?!"
Haqua came on the terrace. Elsie looked at her. "Haqua?!"
"Elsie, are you fine?"
"Why, is something the matter?!"
"No, the loose soul, the one I told you about…
"Yeah, what about it? Is it captured?" she asked genuinely.
"No, but as you know the soul can also enter the demon hearts. So Chief Dokuro has told everyone to be alert about it. So you take care alright?" Haqua said.
"Oh? Then I guess you should stay safe too. And thank you for reminding me. I'll be sure to watch out if something comes to my notice", she smiled.
"Good", Haqua grinned contently before flying away. Elsie stared at the beautiful night sky long after she was gone.
That's it for the first chapter. I hope y'all enjoyed my changes. I'm really excited for the story plot. Anyway please drop a review by. Sayonara!
