Chapter 2
Chai makes friends (or attempts to)
Hermione and Chai seemed like they had been friends for years.
Chatting away, the two girls became fast friends. Although, Hermione
was the only one talking. Chai sat there nodding her head and seemingly fixated at
her lunch.
Hermione figured that Chai would open up eventually, but, so far she had not
succeeded in getting Chai to portray any emotion in her eyes. They
remained dull and empty.
That didn't discourage Hermione though. She wanted to get to know Chai. Hermione felt as if Chai didn't have many people caring about her in her life so Hermione figured why not? I man, she doesn't seem like a bad person. Who knows? The two may get pretty close… but then again… there was also the possibility that they would never become close and remain strangers. Hermione disliked this idea. She decided not to think about it and began to make useless chatter hoping to get a least a hint of a smile on Chai's face. Chai opened her mouth as if to reply causing the golden trio to look at her expectantly. She took a deep gulp of air and closed her mouth again. The trio tried to hide their disappointment. Hermione wanted to know what Chai had to say, I mean, for a girl who didn't talk Hermione thought she was unusually likeable. Strange.
Harry had a different reason for wanting her to say something. He wanted to know what hr voice sounded like. Was it small and petite like her, or was it scary and deep like a monsters voice. Harry Suddenly came to a realization. What if Chai didn't speak English? What if she didn't even speak a human language? That couldn't be possible. She seemed to have understood Dumbledore well enough… so she had to speak English… right?
Now Ron, on the other hand, couldn't care less. He figured that when Chai wanted to talk, she would talk. There was reason to pressure her. Ron glanced at Chai's face trying to read her unreadable face. An impossible task.
That's Ron noticed that her eyes were
the strangest color. Red. Ruby red. The way Ron reacted made everyone jump in their seats.
"Whoa!" Ron exclaimed suddenly.
Chai turned her head in surprise. "Your eyes! Ron said "There red!
That's so strange!"
Hermione glanced at Chai. It was true. Her eyes were red! That was
amazing!
Chai cocked her head in confusion. What was wrong with the color of
her eyes? Most shinigami had red eyes. Was it uncommon for humans?
That was weird. Well there was nothing wrong with the color of her
eyes. She would hate to have to put color contacts in. Human eye
colors were so strange. I mean blue and green? And brown? Chai didn't
know a single shinigami with brown eyes. In a rare occasion they would
have green or blue. But brown? Never.
The golden trio noticed that Chai was staring at them, a frown evident
on her face.
"Is it normal for uhh... Whatever you are to have red eyes?"
Hermione asked.
Chai nodded her head.
"That's so cool! I wish I had eyes like that!" Ron exclaimed.
Harry and Hermione were surprised. Ron hadn't shown any interest in Chai
since they sat down. He had been unhappy and had been moping around,
poking at his food. Now he acted like he was generally interested in
Chai. Hermione wondered what brought this change in her boyfriend.
Ron figured he may as well make the best of the situation. He was
still unnerved by the situation but he realized moping around was not
going to change anything. Besides, Chai seemed like a nice person...
Even though she didn't talk.
Soon Ron began to chat with the others, his unhappiness momentarily
forgotten.
The Golden trios were soon laughing with each other, acting as if Chai
had been a part of their group since the beginning.
"Hey wait a minute." Hermione realized something "Oi! Chai isn't a
wizard. What... exactly is she?"
Both Hermione and Ron turned to Harry for the answer.
"Well, Dumbledore said that she was a shinigami... Whatever that is.
He said something about her collecting souls."
"Creepy." Ron mumbled.
"Hmmm..." Hermione was deep in thought. She had heard of the term
shinigami before. Now if she could just remember what the book had said.
"Ah! A shinigami is a demon who collects the souls of the deceased and
decides if they should pass on to heaven or if they can send them to
hell. They are sort of like multiple reapers scurrying around the world
waiting on someone to die. Right Chai?"
Hermione turned to Chai and waited to see if she was correct. She may
as well get information from a shinigami herself. Well one that could
talk would be more helpful. But asking Chai yes or no questions was
good enough for now.
Chai nodded her head confirming the information that Hermione had
stated.
"Oi! Bloody hell of course Hermione's right!" Ron stuck his tongue
out at his girlfriend.
"Oh shut up you stupid bint!" Hermione smiled back at Ron and flicked
him on the head. "Ow! 'mione!" Ron clutched his forehead in pain and
the trio laughed. Chai stared at the wizards in front of her. They
seemed like close friends so she would let her guard down a little.
She figured that they would not try to attack the boy -Harry was it?-
she was assigned to protect. Chai wondered why they were so close. I
mean there was no one you could trust in the shinigami world. Was it
different in the human world? Were there people you would put your
life at stake to keep safe? Chai had never met anyone like that. The
only person who knew her the longest was probably her manager and Chai
didn't even like her. Well, her manager and her two guardians, but
every time she saw her nitwit guardians, she wanted to throttle them. She
knew they cared about her. But she would not trust them with her life.
It seemed the three people in front of her cared deeply about each
other. Chai didn't need those feelings. They showed weakness. She
could not get attached to these people.
Even though she desperately wanted to.
Yay! Chapter 2 is done! Now I am going to take a nap. Goodnight.
