I slammed my fist on the alarm clock as that annoying buzz rang my ears.
"Ugh! I'm blaming Naru for this." I got out of bed groggily and brushed my teeth.
I look like I just got out of a wrestling match…
After fumbling to put on a tank top and shorts, I heard a loud HONK outside… Ah, Naru?!
I ran to the door and accidentally hit my toe on the way out! I'm blaming Naru for this too!
He starred at me as I once again hit something that was a part of my body!
"Grr! I'm blaming Naru for this!" I jumped into the car slamming the door shut.
"Blame me for what?"
"Grr… Nothing!" He sighed and began driving," You're late you know."
"Huh? It was around nine when I came out."
"Yes, but it wasn't nine sharp."
I growled at him under my breath,"… Picky, picky…"
"You won't ever get a boyfriend like that, Mai."
"Eh?! You don't know that! And same to you Naru! You're so cold all the time, I'm pretty sure no girl would ever want to talk to you!"
He let out a long sigh," Except for you."
I blushed looking out the window.
At least he knows I'm a girl…
After a few minutes of a strict silence I thought of a question," Hey, Naru?"
"What is it Mai?"
"Why didn't we go yesterday instead of today? I mean it was only around five or six right?"
"Because today is Sunday, a holy day."
"And?"
"Today will probably be the day the demon will try finding a different host. Sunday is one of the worst days for demons."
"Oh, that actually makes sense." I nodded agreeing with him, he glanced at me" Unfortunately, that just means it will be dangerous for you."
"Huh? Why me?"
"Because you're emotional and care free, which makes you an easy target for the demon."
I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult.
"Hey, but what about you?"
I stopped… Naru is not emotional whatsoever, is he?
"Don't worry about me, it won't go after me since I can easily destroy it."
"But still…"
"Just worry about yourself for now."
I frowned at him with a glare," I will worry about you if I want!"
"Fine."
We sat in total silence for the rest of the way. I hope he isn't mad…
"Woah!" I jumped out of the car looking at the mansion," So big!"
"Ah, yes. They are a wealthy family, apparently they won the lottery a while ago."
"It's still huge!"
I looked around seeing the garden that surrounded it," Hey Naru, can I go look around?"
"No."
No… That's ALL he has to say! I frowned, but helped him move some stuff inside of the house… Err, mansion anyway. A red carpet went down all of the hallways on top of a neatly polished wooden flooring. I couldn't even imagine cleaning that… Naru told me to put the equipment in the living room, which I got lost in almost immediately…
"Oh perfect!" I groaned putting it down and looked around. How did I end up here? I didn't see any sign of any 'living' person. Ugh, Naru will get mad at me again.
"Who are you?"
I turned around and instantly recognized one of the twins," Ah! Jeez, you scared me there! I'm Mai, nice to meet you!"
"…" Awkward… Ah, since he lives here, he should know where the living room is," Hey, I got lost, can you show me where the living room is?"
"Okay." He grabbed my hand as I grabbed the equipment leading me down the dim lit hallway. Now that I think of it… It's sort of creepy here…
"What's your name?"
"…It's Nako."
"Ah, well thank you Nako!" I smiled at him, but he ignored it completely.
"Don't thank me just yet."
Creepy…
Was it just me or was it getting colder? I felt like the hallway was getting longer and longer. I know that it was am mansion, but it's still WAY too long!
"Umm…"
"…"
Once again he ignored me, dragging me down the hallway. I got a bad feeling though…
"Here." He stopped me, making me slightly bump into him.
I looked around and stopped, opening up the door," Thank you Nako."
"I thought I told you not to thank me yet."
This kid sounds like a little Naru!
I walked into the room putting the stuff down, then sneezed as a bunch of dust flew up into my face," Eww!"
"Why is it so dusty in here?" I turned on the lights which were also so dusty that it only lit up the room a little bit," Hey, Nako! Don't you guys ever clean this place?"
"No."
"Huh? Wouldn't you normally clean a 'living' room? I mean aren't there always people in it."
"No. No one ever goes here."
Never goes here? Wait a minute. I turned around slowly and put my hands to my mouth stopping the scream that was going to come out. I widened my eyes in horror seeing 'Nako'.
Naru was right. I was an easy target.
