Me: Second Chapter yay!
Akuma: Finally I can move now!
Me: Shut up. It didn't take THAT long...

Second Part of the First Day
"Go, I'll tell them." I start to leave and I say, thank you, as I exit out the door. I shut it behind me and sigh walking down the vaguely memorable halls I make it quickly to the gate and sit down against it. Propping my arm on my bent knee while the other one is straight I put my hood up and lay my forehead down on my arm. The hot sun burns into my dark clothing not making me sweat but more of a burning sensation.
"Akuma Hakume?" I hear and I look up faced with a short brown haired and brown eyed boy says.
"That's me." I respond and the boy looks shocked and a hint of fear is there as well.
"I'm going to be showing you around." He smiles and I grin,
"Perception is nice, isn't it? I wish more people would notice that you and I are both biological girls." He flinches getting nervous,
"Haha that's funny!" She laughs failing to cover it up. I meant that to be a joke guess it's true! I roll my eyes hiding the shock.
"I won't tell anyone if you don't." I stand up looming over the girl and I back to the gate so she doesn't think I'm trying to intimidate her. She seems unfazed by my height, guess she knows Takashi.
"I'm Haruhi Fujioka. We should probably get going." Haruhi says accepting defeat and I nod following her inside the pink building. Steam rises off my jacket for a little while as we go down hallways and she leads me to the different classrooms.
"This one is mine." She says and I look up to see 1-A, she then leads me to the libraries which she claims are almost always loud, I can imagine it although the room is silent. The bell rings and I say to Haruhi,
"I don't want you to miss your classes so if you can show me a shady spot outside I'll wait until after school." She nods and leads me outside pointing out some trees I smile and thank her when I start running to one and leaning against the trunk. I hear a loud,
"WAIT!-" but I'm gone. I look back at Haruhi who looks a little upset but she walks into the building anyways. I look up and grab a branch then pulling myself up into the tree I lean against the trunk and take out my phone and playing Pandora. My right leg hangs down the only visible part of me while the other balances me on the branch. One of my favorite songs starts and I smile.
Monster by Imagine Dragons. As the intro starts I find my head bobbing and my hanging foot invisibly tapping a floor. I shut my eyes humming along biting my lip to keep from singing out like an idiot.
Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in.
O-oh, o-oh, o-oh,
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in.
O-oh, o-oh, o-oh,
It takes all the restrain I have not to burst out with the chorus.
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me,
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough,
That this problem lies in me.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
A small bubble pops inside my large one when the chorus finishes.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest?
Do I have to run and hide?
O-oh, o-oh, o-oh,
I've never said I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made its home inside.
O-oh, o-oh, o-oh,
At this point I can't help but mouth the words of the chorus like I'm singing it.
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me,
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough,
That this problem lies in me.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger.
(Instrumental)
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger.
(Another short instrumental to the end)
I laugh a little, I feel like an idiot but I'm too happy to stop. I wobble a little and catch myself with another branch before I fall to my doom. Time passes and a few people flitter around at about lunch time when I promptly take out a small bento box and a pair of chopsticks from my pockets, I clean off the chopsticks with a napkin inside my box's cloth before opening it and eating the small avocado sushis inside. I close it with the chopsticks wrapped in the knot and I shove it back into my pocket. I close my eyes and think, not about anything in particular, I just think.
The bell toll jerks me awake and I look at the clock on my phone, I'd slept through the afternoon, in a tree.
"Akuma-san! AKUMA-SAN!" A voice shouts my name I forget to respond a moment since my English name is Delilah Peters. Gol how I hate that name. Now how does that translate to Akuma which is demon? Two words it doesn't. I chose it myself.
"Akuma-san? Is that you?" I look down greeted by Haruhi's curious face.
"Yes it is, sorry Haruhi. I'll be down in a second." I drop my left leg over the branch next to my right and slip down taking a step forward as I land. I brush off the sticking leaves and smile at Haruhi.
"Ok my head is not on fire so don't be alarmed." I say and Haruhi looks at me thoroughly confused until I lower my hood and shake my head letting my hair wave like fire again, she then gets the look of 'oh, that's what you meant', look. I shrug and shove my hands in my pockets, smiling pleasantly I ask,
"Where to?" Haruhi's faint smile turns to a frown which in turn makes mine fade.
"I wanted to tell you earlier but you dashed off before I could. I can't show you around I have a club-" I put up my hand saying stop before she can say anything else.
"Haruhi I may not look like it but I can be a patient person, I don't mind waiting. Plus the club sounds interesting." She shuts her mouth and nods. I put the smile back up. "Lead the way."
After losing track of how many hallways between each turn I look up to a sign called Music Room 3. Haruhi sighs softly and opens the doors, a bunch of rose petals come flying out in a white light which I just blink at entering after her.
"Oh Haruhi. Is this your boyfriend?" A red headed boy with golden eyes asks boredly yet looking interested. Haruhi and I exchange a look of What? Boyfriend? And sorry. I drop my head into my hand.
"I'm not Haruhi's boyfriend. I barely know him. He was supposed to show me around but I thought after school would be easier, unknown to me he had a club to attend to." I say it as flatly and as bluntly as possible.
"Aki-chan? Takashi! It's Aki-chan!" I hear a young sounding voice say and I smile bending down to scoop up the little blonde from before, placing him on one of my shoulders and holding him there.
"Hello!" I laugh and walk over to the stoic Takashi. "I believe he's yours." I look at the little one and he catapults off me onto Takashi. "Yup he's yours."
I notice a fluffy pink rabbit on the ground that Takashi starts to bend down for but I sneak my foot under it and kick it upward catching it with my knee then bouncing it again into my hand. I give it to the little one remembering seeing him with it before. He looks awed and happy, little puffy flowers dance around his head, it doesn't faze me.
"Thanks for giving Usa-chan a ride Aki-chan. He had fun didn't he Takashi?" Takashi responds,
"Ah." And I smile again.
"I made sure to give him a good ride." The little one squeezes the rabbit gently and I hear Haruhi joined by the chorus of two other males.
"You've met Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai?" I turn around and roll my eyes.
"Yeah they helped me to the office." I look back over my shoulder, "Thanks for that by the way." They nod. I turn my head forward greeted by red-headed twins rather close to me, eyes narrowed and studying. I fold my arms and let them do what they want. The two encircle me and my eyebrow starts to twitch, someone walks up next to Haruhi holding a black notebook and I laugh.
"You look frustrated Ootori Kyoya-senpai. You've seen me in the tree outside, yet, you don't know who I am do you?" It's a statement rather than a question as I walk up to the boy wearing glasses. "I'm Akuma Hakume and I welcome you, Kyoya-senpai, to a little game." I hold out my hand and he takes it, we shake hands and I see questions forming behind his glasses.
"The proposal is one week I'll let you search for me you don't find anything I win, I play for free but you'll gain blackmail should I choose to accept it as so." I let go of Kyoya's hand and give him my dark look, "Happy researching, my friend." I speak the last in Spanish and the door to the room bursts open.
"Kyoya I found-" A voice starts to say as three figures appear.
"AKUMA!" Another voice interrupts and I flinch,
"K-Kiba." I say as he wraps his arms around me looking happy but scared at the same time, his eyes are a seafoam color and I feel the ties keeping me calm start to break. He notices Kyoya and he leaps behind me shaking.
"Don't kill me Kyoya-san!" He whimpers and I give Kyoya a look that says, What did you do to him?! I'm more shocked than angry. It again turns to tense anger as voices fill my head and blast in my ears, the twins, Honey-senpai, and the tall blonde are talking all at the same time and my anger erupts. I shut my eyes and when I open them it's in a dark, menacing glare.
"Everyone! SHUT UP!" I roar and start to swear in multiple languages, sometimes it's just gibberish. Anger clouds over my eyesight as the anger pours out of me. I feel something metal being pushed into my hand and I crush it easily.
Feeling better I take a deep breath and let it out, I my eyes and repeat the process two more times, when I reopen them I see everyone behind a couch cowering.
'Oops.'
Akuma: I do know my name means demon, but YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THAT FAR! (Flame erupts from eyes and hair stands on end.)
Kiba: A-akuma calm down... please don't kill her! She can't write anything else to make you better if she's dead!
Me: (Wheezes under strong grip.) Kiba I'll be fine. MORI-SENPAI!
Mori: (Comes running in and forces Akuma to let go.)
Me: (Gasps in air.) Thanks.
Mori: Mm.
Me: Well, umm haha awkwardness for the win! Once Akuma calms down again I'll update. Akuma's English name as mentioned before is Delilah. Kiba, which means fang, is Dakota, and Tenshi, which means angel, is Diana. I'll do some short POV's of characters for different scenes at request. Also how does the 'Switchblade' type sound for Akuma? I promise I'll try not to make her flip out like that again but it fit for me. Please review! PM me any questions, complaints, ideas, etc.
Tamaki: The Host Club will be waiting for you. ;)
