Seriously, why am I here today? Kaili asked herself. After what she had seen the previous day, she wasn't sure if she should have come to school or not, but she was afraid that if she didn't show up, Shuichi would come after her thinking she told his secret. No wonder I didn't trust the guy.

In the blink of an eye, Kaili was pushed into her locker by her brother who was catching a football in the hallway. He started laughing. "Sorry, sis!" he exclaimed as he ran away.

"Chris, you jerk! Get back here!" she was about to chase him down the hall when she felt someone grab her wrist. She looked down at the hand and then up. Shuichi had her wrist in his grasp. Kaili's anger at her brother disappeared as her fear of Shuichi surfaced.

"Good morning, Kaili," Shuichi said monotonously.

Kaili just stared blankly at her wrist and then back at him. "G-G-G-Good m-m-m-morning, Shuichi-sama," Kaili said nervously.

He again pulled her closer to him again. "I told you yesterday that you didn't have anything to worry about and I meant it, just as long as you don't tell anyone else. You can trust me."

Kaili snorted at that and started laughing. Shuichi looked at her and narrowed his eyes. "I'm not going to apologize for laughing," Kaili said. "Besides, can you actually blame me? I can trust a guy who pretends to be a gentleman at school and then kills things outside of school." At this point they were whispering in an empty hallway, late for class.

Shuichi just smirked. "You are correct. We are not on the best terms right now…but we can always change that."

Kaili raised an eyebrow at his confident statement. "And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kaili asked.

"Well, for starters, how do you know anything about demons and why did you follow me?" Shuichi asked.

"Whoa what?" Kaili asked extremely confused. "I believe demons are real, but I've never seen any before. It was just a hobby. Second, I was not following you. I was frustrated and went for a walk. It's not my fault I saw what I did."

Shuichi's narrowed his eyes dangerously towards her. "And what, pray tell, did you see?"

Kaili glared back. "You know what I saw. You and a whip killing a monster…demon, I assume?"

"This is not the place to talk about things like this," Shuichi said calmly. "Besides, we are already late for our class." He held his hand out for her to take and she just stared. "Shall we?"

Kaili shook her head in disbelief. "What the hell?" she whined.

Shuichi frowned. "I really wish you would just trust me. I don't mean you any harm. Like I said yesterday, I like you, and I don't want to hurt you." He sighed. "But if you tell anyone, I will make your life a living hell."

Kaili smiled as she took his hand. "I'm already there, Shuichi. Trust me; it can't get much worse than it already is. Oh, and fair warning, I sometimes choose not to show up to school so don't even think about hunting me down. It wouldn't be like I'm avoiding you."

Shuichi frowned when the girl said what she did about her life already being a hell for her, but he shrugged the feeling off. All he knew was that he liked this girl, but he would be damned if he let that cloud his judgment. He realized that they were still holding each other's hands, and he turned away from her and led them to their class just in time to be screamed at by the teacher.

"I hear you have a boyfriend," Chris teased Kaili when they had lunch.

"He is NOT my boyfriend," Kaili grumbled.

"So what? He could be. You should snag him before someone else does." Chris laughed as he ran away, avoiding some food that Kaili threw at him.

"Asshole," Kaili muttered under her breath.

"I'm hoping you're not talking about me," Shuichi said, sitting down next to Kaili.

She groaned. "Why do you keep seeking me out? What more do we have to talk about?"

Shuichi kept a stern facial expression and looked down at his food. "We can talk about you," he said.

"Yeah right," Kaili said. "I don't talk to anyone here about anything. My only friend is in another country. And to answer your first statement, no I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about my stupid older brother."

"You have a brother?" Shuichi asked.

"Yes," Kaili said. "But that's as much as you're getting from me."

Shuichi nodded. "That's okay. We have plenty of time to talk."

What does he mean by that?
