Saving a Demon
"What should I do?" Mikan asked herself, ignoring the cold wind that brushed her cheeks as she paced back and forth in her balcony. She momentarily stopped to glare at the boys who practically deprived her of any sleep. But then again, she was kind-her eyes softened and she knelt down. She looked at the blonde boy first, he was snoring lightly and she giggled.
"He's kinda cute," Mikan chuckled. Then her eyes trailed to the boy beside him, the raven haired guy who had a face contorted with pain and hatred that left Mikan to wonder what happened to him. She brushed off some of his raven hair away from his face and took a good look at his features. He-although in obvious pain, still give off a comfortable and warm feeling.
Mikan blushed and shook her head, murmuring, "This is not the time to be love struck. These boys need my help." She stood up and went inside her room, getting her cell phone. She dialled the number for the hospital but then stopped on the midway. "No, I send them to the hospital. What if their wings-if they are really real-started to unfold and be seen? What could happen to those boys?" Mikan said to herself. She sighed and put down her cell phone.
"I need to ask for Tsubasa-niichan's help," Mikan said and took a last look at the boys outside in her balcony then exited her room. She tiptoed and went to her brother's room. She turned the knob and she offered her thanks to the heavens that it's open. Normally, her brother would lock his door.
She took the liberty of going inside and went towards her brother's bed. He was fast asleep, snoring and moving a little too much. She sighed and shook him up. He shifted his body away from her and muttered, "Misaki-chan, stop teasing me! I'm really going to kiss you right now!"
Mikan rolled her eyes. She would never attempt to know or even guess what's going on her brother's dream. He was grinning like crazy and just by looking at it made her shiver. She sighed again and shook her brother gently. "Tsubasa-niichan," Mikan called softly. The said guy just stirred in his sleep and didn't even open his eyes. Mikan's eyes glinted and then she jumped high then landed on Tsubasa's stomach.
"Ooooff," Tsubasa gave out a painful snort and glared at the intruder. "What the hell? I was in the middle of a good dream and you just interrupted it," Tsubasa said. Mikan scratched her head and muttered, "Sorry?" Tsubasa scowled at her and uttered, "If sorry will do, then why do we need the police?"
"You're so stingy Tsubasa-niichan. I came here to ask a favor," Mikan fidgeted her fingers. Tsubasa let out a sigh of defeat and said, "You can ask me that tomorrow." Mikan grabbed her brother's arms and dragged him out of his room. Mikan, still holding her brother's hand, went inside her room and to the balcony.
"So why did you drag me here?" Tsubasa asked. Mikan pointed at the boys sleeping in her balcony. "Who are these people?" Tsubasa said. Then he looked at Mikan strangely and uttered, "Don't tell me-don't tell me these two-to you..." Mikan whacked her brother's head and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
Tsubasa shook his head and asked, "How did they even reach your balcony? It's on the second floor, for heaven's sake. Our Sakura Tree was in the middle of our garden so they can't use it. Ah, I know! They used a rope!" He smirked and went to the railings to find the rope he thought they used. But to his utter surprise there are none.
"They fly here Tsubasa-niichan. They had wings and they fell from the sky," Mikan answered. Tsubasa laughed at Mikan and said, "A person doesn't fly Mikan." Mikan pouted and uttered, "But I saw their wings." Tsubasa sighed, "You must be half-sleeping that time. You're just imagining it. Or maybe, you let them come to your room." Tsubasa looked at her sister suspiciously.
"Do I look like a person that will let strangers enter my room or even the house?" Mikan grimaced at her brother. Tsubasa shrugged and replied, "Who knows." Mikan scowled and stomped her foot, "I can't believe that my brother doesn't believe me!" Tsubasa snickered and said, "Well, I just know that people don't fly."
Mikan muttered under her breath, "But I really saw their wings." Tsubasa rolled his eyes and picked Natsume, "So what should we do to them? Throw them off the balcony?" Tsubasa swung Natsume in his hands and attempted to throw him off. Mikan hugged her brother and shouted, "Are you trying to kill him?"
"Well you said he can fly!" Tsubasa said. Mikan glared at him, "Maybe he can if he's conscious, idiotic brother." Tsubasa sighed and said, "So what should we do to them?" Mikan looked at the boys and replied, "Bring them to my room. We're going to treat their wounds." Tsubasa looked at her like she was crazy or something and hollered, "You want to bring these strangers to your room! Have you lost your mind?"
"I'm just trying to help them! So please do what I said," Mikan retorted back. Tsubasa snorted and picked up Ruka first. He went inside Mikan's room and put him in the bed. Then he carried Natsume next and put him beside Ruka. Then Mikan entered her room and closed the balcony. She went to Ruka first, looking for wounds or injuries.
"He has some wounds but it's not really deep or serious," She said. Then she went to the Natsume and examined him. Her eyes widened when she felt that he had a high fever. "Tsubasa-niichan! He had a very high fever." Tsubasa scowled and replied, "Then let's bring him to the hospital." Mikan shouted, "No! We'll just take care of him here."
Tsubasa sighed and uttered, "If that's what you want. I'll bring some cold water, medicine, first aid kit and some new set of clothes for both of them." Mikan nodded and smiled at her brother. He went out of the room and she was left all alone with the boys. Suddenly Natsume started squirming and sweating a lot. He's turning his head left and right vigorously.
"Is he having a nightmare?" Mikan hollered and looked at the door, praying her brother would miraculously go back on a short notice. "Tsubasa—" her words were cut by Natsume's wailing. Mikan panicked and done whatever came first in her mind-hug the poor boy. "Don't worry, I'm here. You're not alone. Please, please stop having nightmares. I'm getting worried," she said softly to the boy's ear. He surprisingly stopped and his face suddenly brightened up-no more pain or suffering.
Mikan smiled. Then Tsubasa entered the room with all of the stuffs they needed and saw his sister hugging Natsume. His body shook in anger and said dangerously, "What are you doing with that brat, Mikan?" She looked up and replied, "He's having a nightmare. So I thought that he needed a hug." Tsubasa snorted and kicked Mikan out of the room.
"What are you doing?" Mikan asked. Tsubasa scowled at her, "I'm going to treat their wounds and undress them. Do you want to see them naked?" Mikan gulped and shook her head. "Good, if you say you wanted to then you're going to get hurt," Tsubasa grimaced at her and slammed the door shut.
After half an hour, Tsubasa let Mikan inside her room. He sat beside the bed, exhausted and said, "I'm really going to sleep now. I'm very tired." With that Tsubasa fell asleep and Mikan went to Natsume and changed the dry cloth in his forehead with the damp one. Mikan touched his hair and patted it gently. She sat beside the bed and looked at Natsume lovingly.
"Sleep well," Mikan said as she fell in a deep slumber, holding Natsume's hand.
Saving a Demon
It was morning and the sun was already up. Ruka slowly opened his eyes to the bright rays of the sun. Then he remembered everything and sat up, wincing to the sudden pain. He looked around the unfamiliar room and hollered, "Natsume!" Then his gaze rested to the boy beside him and smiled. "He's safe," he uttered and looked ahead. He noticed that a girl was holding Natsume's hand. She was sleeping lightly. Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes and they stared to each other for a while.
Then Ruka's eyes darkened and asked, "Are you sent by Persona to lure us to a trap that will kill the prince?" Mikan was taken aback, "What are you saying?" Ruka let out a bitter laugh, "Don't act innocent! Tell him this, I'm not letting Natsume die as long as I'm still alive! So stay away from him!" Mikan shook her head and said, "I don't really know what you're talking about!" Ruka stood up and opened his wings, "Don't lie to me woman."
He chanted some foreign words and a blue light shot from his hands towards Mikan. "Kyaah!" Mikan shouted and dodged the blue light. It barely passed her face. She looked back and saw it leave a burnt mark on the floor. "Tsk, I missed," Ruka uttered. Mikan stood up and backed away, "You're misunderstanding."
"What's happening?" Tsubasa yawned and stoop up. He saw Ruka with his wings open. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The wings were still there. "Mikan! This boy has wings!" he hollered. "That's what I've been trying to tell you last night. If a human can't fly then he isn't human!" Mikan shouted. Ruka smirked and said, "Of course I'm not a human. I'm a demon." Mikan and Tsubasa gaped at him and shouted, "You're a what?"
"I'm a demon and in my hands both of you will die!" Ruka said and summoned the crows with his power. "We just saved you last night and this is what you'll repay us, you ungrateful brat!" Tsubasa said. Ruka smirked and uttered, "I'm not going to fall for such lies. We suffered enough-Natsume suffered enough. I won't let the likes of you to hurt him!"
"Hey, are you by chance a gay?" Tsubasa asked. Mikan slapped her face. "Brother this is no time to tease him. He's about to kill us. We should lighten his mood not turning it to something more sour," Mikan said then scratched her head while blushing, "Well, I'm curious too." Tsubasa looked at his sister and said, "I told you so. I'm just interested."
"You guys just called me gay! I'm going to kill you both!" Ruka shouted and ordered the crows to go after them. "Mikan, the crows don't look friendly," Tsubasa muttered. Mikan's eyes widened and went in front of her brother to shield him. "Stop this right now!" Mikan shouted and a bright light emanated from her, blinding everyone momentarily.
