HYBRID: Chapter 1
by ~theresebee
[giggle] Humans...they are so very unaware of the world in which...
Demons exist right next to them.
Almost all the demons in this world take on human forms. But unlike normal humans, each one of us demons have very particular characteristics. In human terms, we are all extraordinarily beautiful. Demons unlike me have to get their prey somehow right? Our physical appearances attract people's attention and lure you in, our voices will pour out like velvet and that will lead the prey to their death, an amusing thought really. But Arashi...he takes this advantage way too far - something very unbecoming of a butler, if you know what I mean. All the human women practically swoon over anything he says, he once told me that he had a particular liking to these advantages and blamed me for influencing him...excuse me but all I do is tease those stupid men and make them do my bidding then when I get bored, I hit them so hard that they forget what happened. You must have been wondering...
How did Arashi and I even meet?
Well, he is my demon butler so obviously we made the contract that seals the bond between us but I dont really treat him as a butler, I treat him as a stupid friend that does my bidding...wait lets add annoying to that. Why I call him stupid you say? He thought I was a human at first, so he was constantly following me around town - like a typical idiot and one day when he thought my life was in danger...offered the contract to me...
It feels as if it were just yesterday...
I was running...away from him. Arashi. The demon that was supposed to be frighteningly strong, incredibly intelligent and his dangerous good looks - I laughed at the thought as soon as I saw him. I knew he had been following me and he thought it was the right time then to ask me THAT question...
[FLASHBACK] - {} - Angelica's thoughts at that moment -
{HIM? Strong? HIM? Handsome? HA! As if he could ever defeat me in any way, he hasn't even figured out that I'm a demon yet. What an idiot.}
{How long do I have to keep up this wild goose chase? Running is so trivial...and boring -sigh- Plus pretending to be a human isnt amusing to me anymore...}
"HEY ANGELICA! YOUR PRETTY FAST FOR A HUMAN! BUT YOUR JUST A MERE MORTAL! YOU CANT RUN AWAY FROM ME! YOU'LL JUST WEAR YOURSELF OUT! LETS JUST TALK! ANGELICAAAA!"
{Great. How annoying. He'll get suspicious if I dont 'tire out'. Time to put my acting skills to the test -grin-}
"Angeeeliiicaaa~ your getting slower and slower~ Come onnn your tired already?~ I thought this would go on forever~ (chuckle)"
{Whatever. Im bored...I think I'll just stop-...SLAM! Yes, you threw me towards a wall, I'm soooo scared...gawd how trivial...but this proves my acting skills have improved, at least I got something accomplished.}
"Do you see what happens when you try and run Angelica? You get hurt. Getting thrown onto a wall, not very amusing is it?"
His shadow creeped towards me through the mist, I quickly drew my fangs, bit my one side of my lip making it bleed, and drew them back, pretending I was hurt, I moved slowly - like a mere human... Then I saw him clearly, wearing a both tail coat, shoes and his tie were black and his button down shit and gloves were white. As he continued to come forward, he wore a devilish grin and his eyes flashed crimson. Then he knelt in front of me, still wearing that grin, he cupped my chin upwards to make me look at him. He stared at me, his face was inches from mine and whispered...
"Up close dont you find me attractive hmm? Aren't you afraid?"
"Why would I be afraid? I dont find you attractive in any way...Arashi"
"(chuckle) The way you say my name just makes me want to eat your soul even more...Angelica. But I'm not here to do that."
{What an idiot. He's this close to me and hasn't figured out I'm a demon~ meaning there's no soul to eat here hahaha!}
"Angelica, what would you say to making a contract with me? I will protect you until you complete your life long goal and for exchange I get to eat that delicious soul of yours. So how about it? All it takes is a kiss."
{Haaaa~ he actually asked (giggle) once I agree I will show him what I really am and he will have no choice but to do my bidding for the rest of eternity, but I have to keep my act up so he wont back out}
"A-a kiss...?
"Yes as simple as that Angelica, then I will have no choice but to do your bidding, you'll stay protected to get to your goal- What do you say My Lady?"
As he said that, his face was so close our lips were almost touching. I nodded. And he kissed me.
{I grinned as he closed his eyes to kiss me. My plan worked. Flawlessly. Idiot.}
Then I felt a burning sensation on the side of my neck. The tattoo was being formed...the tattoo that seals the bond. Then it faded. Arashi opened his eyes and lifted his lips off mine but our faces were just inches apart.
"Well well well My Lady. Your lip is bleeding tsk hurt yourself already have you? Since I have to protect you, I might as well get the blood from dripping onto your clothes."
He licked the line the blood created from my chin and to the corner of my lips and looked at my eyes. A flash of red. And I knew he just regretted kissing me.
"(chuckle)hm hm hm...idiot"
"...What is this?"
"I misjudged you Arashi, you were so close to me yet you didnt even realize, well its too late now. The bond is are now my demon butler. Arashi."
"What-"
"HAHAHA IDIOT! I'm not in any way human...this should be plainly simple...IM A DEMON!~ A hybrid to be exact, to think you actually thought I was human because of my strange scent and since neither of us can really die, you are my faithful demon butler...for all eternity, I might add!"
"N-sigh- Y-Yes, My Lady"
[END OF FLASHBACK]
HAHAHAHA! I still laugh at his stupidity, but he is still so conceited and still wonders why I dont have the slightest interest in him. He tries to flatter me with all these unimpressive things 'til today. His idiocy wears me out.
Also adding to this, Demons today rarely fall in love with other demons, no matter how close they are, they usually fall for humans. But I'm different, so I can go any way I wish to. How utterly amusing.
