Alex- Welcome to another chapter!

Alice- Yep, another one.

Alex- Something the matter?

Alice- No, just stating it.

Alex- Okay then...While I try to figure out what's the matter with her you read!

Alice- Mean reviews will result in death, I warn you all once more.

Alex- We do not own Kuro!


Meline reluctantly opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings with pure confusion and felt pure jolt as she looked around. She was in, limbo?

"I have been abiding your presence, and now I finally have what I seek. An innominate voice resounded; a shadow loomed in the darkness, buoyant white feathers hovered around her, she turned her head, the looming figure appeared to be an animal.

"What is it? Feeling a sense of bewilderment? Do not fret. You are only in limbo. For you have a choice to make." The tone of the voice was very feminine, Meline was sure now this was a girl.

"What choice, why am I here?!" Meline demanded bitterly, averting her eyes to the shadow.

The voice chuckled, as if this situation weren't austere.

"Well?!"

"The answer to your first question is if you would want to live, and this is a very attractive offer. Because I do not ask for your soul, only one thing in return."

"Which is?"

"I find this particular demon, Sebastian Michaelis. He owes me something specific."

"A demon?"

"Yes, he is a demon. I am a demon as well." The anonymous voice clarified. "He is truly a demon who does not keep his word."

"Now, the second reason?"

"Oh yes, the second reason construes to your first question a bit better. You are currently about to die, right now you are in the state of a coma, in a hospital. Now I am here to make sure you do not get your soul stolen by a grim reaper and ask you for nothing in return besides the reason I previously mentioned."

Meline nodded with acceptance. "One more thing, what happens after you find this 'Sebastian Michaelis'? Will you take my soul?"

"No, I will remain faithful to you till the very end, even in the depths of hell." The tone confirmed.

Meline's gaze drifted away to the white feathers. "I agree upon this decision."

"Are you sure? You will no longer have the feeling of privacy, but only protection."

"You heard me!" Meline snarled pungently. "I command you to take me from this place!"

The feathers suspended into the air, turning into ash black as they did so, soon she could feel herself descend into unconsciousness…


Meline's eyes open with constraint, a pure white ceiling came into view and she jolted up, her head turning with disorientation.

Immediately she felt the presence of another person inside the room, and she turned her head. The girl had jet-black hair and crystal blue eyes to match, her skin was porcelain white and not with a scratch.

"Y-You are the-?"

"The demon, if you were referring to our earlier conversation." She began with a smooth voice, almost like silk that bounced against the walls, entwining with the air.

Meline lifted her arm up and put her hand on her forehead and feeling sharp pain in her wrist, trying to recall the earlier conversation. Everything was abstruse to her, everything was hiding in the corners of her head, as if playing hide and seek.

"Something the matter?" The demon stood up with concern and settled her own hand on the younger girls head. Meline was shocked by this movement but relaxed.

This person wasn't her enemy, but her ally.

"You have a very light fever." The demon explained shortly and pulled her hand away. "You should rest."

Meline blinked twice, and nodded apprehended what she said, laying back down and watched her demon intently.

"You may wonder why you feel no pain." The demon proceeded to speak. "But you are in no condition to be asked questions." A smile crept on her face. "I ask if you may rest."

Meline slowly nodded in agreement, her eyes drooped slowly and she let herself quickly surrender to sleep...


"Meline, Meline?" A voice resounded in her head; Meline's eyes were closed and unaware of her surroundings. She hesitantly opened her them; she was still inside the hospital.

"Ah, good you're awake. I was starting to worry." A relaxed voice spoke; Meline soon realized it was her demon.

"Am I still inside the hospital?" She asked the demon and looked at her curiously, her vision still blurry.

"You are, you were asleep for quite some time." The demon laughed lightly. "Three days might be enough is it not?"

Meline instantaneously sat up. "THREE DAYS?!" She asked in pure shock and frustration.

The supernatural being smirked. "Yes, but sick humans tend to sleep this long. You fell outside a window after all."

Meline's mind surely had that memory written over her thoughts; she could remember the dirt-brown eyes and the forceful kiss. Then the push out the window…

"What happened after I got pushed out the window?" She asked deliberately, she pondered over it. Her thoughts switched quickly to the current conversation.

"Well, first of all you obviously fell out the window, you hit the concrete and surely others thought you were immediately dead. But a miracle somehow rose, and you were alive. Alas, you were in a coma though." The demon was making hand movements as she explained in full description.

"You cracked your head slightly and sprained wrist, how lucky this was. You weren't on the top floor of the apartment, but on the 3th floor. It was rather a gruesome fall that man caused you, how lucky you were."

Meline smiled warmly. " Well who am I to thank?" She asked with playful sarcasm.

The demon sat down casually. "Me of course." She laughed and leaned back in her chair.

'How well we are getting along' Meline thought. 'Will it always be like this?'

Meline nodded surely. "If I may ask, your name?"

A smug smile tugged at the black-haired demon's lips. "I don't have a name." She responded.

Meline tilted her head interestingly. "Then what should I call you?" She asked. "Demon?" She suggested.

"Would you like to name me this?" The demon asked, turning her attention to the door, which slid open. Their conversation interrupted.

"Looks like you're okay." The appearance of the white-coated person that just walked in defined that this was the doctor.

Meline nodded in consent. "Yes, I feel fine."

The doctor smiled warmly. "That's good, you are a lucky girl. You weren't too high into the apartment. Fortunately you do not have many injuries and you will go home in three days." He nodded and excused himself from the room.

"That's good news." Meline spoke, the doctor's words calming her worries. The demon acceded and brushed her hair away from her dark ocean pool eyes.

"Now back to what I was speaking of, is there nay name you can think of to call me by?" The demon tilted its head.

"Hmm…" Meline ruminated, moving her sprained wrist towards her lap.

"Lucia."


Alex- Enjoyed it?

Alice- Very interesting.

Alex- Hehe I knew you would be interested.

Alice- You sure of yourself huh?

Alex- Yep!

Alice- *rolls eyes*

Alex- She's just mad because there's a guest here to stay during the duration of this story. That's why she was acting weird earlier too.

Alice- Got to tell the whole world.

Alex- It's a secret, did I say who.

Alice- Whatever!

Alex- Anyway, please review!

Alice- Mean reviews result in death, I warn you all.

Alex- I do not own Kuro, reminding you all!
