- Author's Note: And here's the chapter most of you have been waiting for almost forever!

-Disclaimer: I don't own Kamichama Karin, but ohh man I wish I did.

Chapter 4: The Engagement Is So Pressuring!

Normally on Tuesday mornings, Karin is already happy to know that her aunt makes breakfast crepes for her, and not to mention it's a shortened day at school.

But on this specific Tuesday, Karin is just beaming.

"Karin! It's Tuesday! You know what that means! Come down and eat breakfast quickly!", her aunt called out from downstairs.

"Coming!" Karin called back as she ran down the stairs.

She practically leaped into her seat and began digging in. She loved strawberry crepes and anyone who knows Karin well never forgets that.

"Soooo goood~" she mumbled through the food in her mouth with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Karin, come on now, don't speak with your mouth full" , her aunt lectured.

Karin swallowed her food and gave her aunt a big, heart-warming smile, "okay auntie!" she told her, and that's when suspicion sparked her aunt.

"Karin, my dear, you seem really happy this morning…did you and Kazune happen to do something yesterday?" she asked with a playful smirk.

Karin froze in her place and blushed madly, "Auntie! No! Don't ask such questions! It's so embarrassing!" she whined.

"Oh Karin, honey, come on! You two are engaged! You can do whatever you'd like with each other you know? A little peck at le-"

"Auntie!" Karin cut her off, blushing more and pouting. This scene was getting a little too uncomfortable for her.

"Ohh Karin, you're so cute!", her aunt smiled,"Soon you'll be leaving this home and living with Kazune. And then we can't forget about my little newph-"

"I'm late for school, bye!". Karin rushed out of the door with her backpack and flew off quick as possible. Karin can beat anyone at flying.

Her aunt frowned and sighed. "Oh Karin, when will you understand love?"

And in the midst of that moment she gasped. "Oh dear," she said, "I forgot to tell Karin about my two day trip!" she remembered.

"I guess I'll leave that up to Kazune, since he already knows" she smiled.

X:Flying to School:X

Karin sighed to herself.

'I'm glad I'm out of that situation' she thought , 'I think Kazune's a great friend. He's my best friend in fact, but those types of feelings…does he have those feelings for me? He told me he didn't and he's always honest.' she frowned , 'because I'm not s-'

"Karin!" Kazune called out from a few feet away. Startled, she looked towards his direction.

He flew towards her and brought her into a gentle embrace.

"Good Morning Karin!," he greeted her through smiles " You seemed a bit startled when I called you," he let go of her and looked her with a bit of a worried expression "Anything wrong?"

"No no!", she said shaking her head and hands nervously ,"I'm completely fine! Hahaha…"

Kazune looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure? Before I caught your attention you looked very deeply concentrated in your own world or something.."

"Kazune, really, I'm fine hahaha," she said nervously again , "I'm just….kind of worried.."

"Worried about what?" he asked

'Oh damn! What did I just say?' Karin thought as she mentally slapped herself. Kazune gave her an odd look.

"Uhh…about today's math test!...Yeah! hahaha," she lied, "I'm horrible at math , ahaha.."

"Oh, well, too bad we don't have the same math class. I would've helped you study last night! Or you could've asked me to come over, either way I would've tried to help at least", Kazune told her.

Then he paused for a bit and thought 'Wait a second, Karin…studying…hmmmm'

He threw another suspicious look at her. "Karin, you DID study last night, right?"

"Uhhh…" she began with a nervous smile. "Well…"

X:Flashback (Karin last night):X

Karin looked over to her clock and it was 9 PM.

"I better sleep early today to wake up early tomorrow! After all, I'm gonna see Jin" she cheerful chanted to herself.

She threw herself into her bed and shut off her lamp with a flick of the nearby switch.

As soon as she pulled the covers over herself she gazed through the glass window on her ceiling to looked at the beautiful stars in the night.

'Jin is a demon' she thought to herself , 'he lives in hell. Does he see a night sky like this? Has he ever?'

'…why?' she kept thinking, 'Hanazono Karin, get a hold of yourself! I'm an angel, he's a demon, why am I even thinking about him? Karin you idiot, do you realize that you've been ditching your safe home, beautiful heaven, to go to the human world to visit a demon? Do you know the consequences for that? Even the dangers?'

'then why?' she questioned herself. 'why do I do it? Why am I doing it tomorrow? Why do I want to see him so much?'

'Don't I hate demons? They killed my parents…' she began tearing up, 'I still remember that moment 7 years ago…oh why? Why did they suggest to go fight in the war?'

She sobbed to herself for a while. Tears rolled down her smooth cheeks. But she rubbed them off gently with her hands.

'No, no I can't cry. I don't know where they are now, God told me they were safe, they are a part of nature now.' She smiled. 'They're probably up in the stars.'

After calming down a bit more, she sighed.

'I shouldn't worry so much, Jin is different. That's why I go visit him. He's a different demon. He's kind and gentle…He didn't kill me… Maybe I shouldn't even call him a demon….'

'He's just…..Jin' she smiled to herself at the thought of his name, and slowly she drifted off into a deep sleep.

X:End of Flashback:X

Karin looked at Kazune. "Yes? Hahaha" she told him nervously, rubbing her head.

"I knew it" he sighed, "Karin you never study for anything, how is it that you still pass every other class except for math?"

"I don't know Kazune" she told him , "I don't know…You know that math has never been my thing"

"Well yes but I'd think you'd study at least for that class! Since you're not so good at it…You know what?" he asked

"What?"

"How about today I come over and help you out with it, I can stay late too since my parents know you're alone and no one is there to be with you." He suggested.

"Wait, no one there? What about my aunt?" she asked, surprised.

"She didn't tell you this morning that she was going on a trip to visit your grandparents? You know, to see how they're doing?" he tried to remind her.

"No, she never told me any of the sort. She was just telling me…" she began blushing, "Ehh nevermind hahaha" she began laughing nervously again.

Kazune looked at her curiously. "What? I wanna know."

"Oh no! don't worry about it… hahahaha….aha…"

"Okay, Whatever you say," he said, still feeling quite curious. "So today I'll come over okay?"

"okay" Karin answered with a smile.

It wasn't until a couple of moments later, Karin remembered today she was going to visit Jin!

She stopped flying and put on a worried expression.

Kazune stopped and turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Kazune, do you think you can visit me a little bit longer after school ends?" Karin asked.

"Of course, but why?"

"Uhh…I have some business to take care of at the gardens…"

"The gardens?" he giggled, "What business could you possibly have to do there?"

"Personal business Kazune" she smiled.

"Okay, whatever you say" he said, still giggling.

As they continued to fly to school, Karin thought about the whole Jin situation. She wanted to tell Kazune, but for crying out loud, Jin is pure evil in his eyes! If only she could convince him into meeting Jin, there has to be some way…

"Ne, Kazune?" she said as they flew.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think there are demons out there that are…kind?"

Kazune began laughing hysterically. "Is that supposed to be a joke?" he managed to say.

Karin frowned a bit, "Please, I'm asking seriously"

Kazune calmed his laughs down, "Karin, why in the world would there be any "kind" demon out there?"

"But what if? What if, Kazune? Maybe there is just one demon out there that's not up to no good, that spares people's lives."

"Karin, the name DEMON means evil, a hater, a killer, minion of the devil. We live to destroy all bad and restore all good. That's why there is an on-going war between our kind, we're two complete opposites."

"Okay, yes, I know, but what if there really was just one demon out there that was kind, can he be brought up here? Would you ever meet him?"

"No no no! of course not! No to both of those questions! A demon can never be brought into the heavens, God would be completely enraged! I would never meet him because there is no such thing as a kind demon!" he yelled.

Karin frowned. She knew this wouldn't work.

"Karin, what's gotten into you lately? I thought you hated demons more than anyone else here in the heavens, and you have a good reason to hate them too. Who's putting these ideas in your head?"

She sighed, "They're just thoughts, and I'm just asking."

"Well normally you wouldn't have such thoughts or ask such questions. When have you ever brought up demons before this day? Besides that you hated them so much? You're worrying me Karin." He told her.

"Nevermind" she shook her head. "Don't worry about me."

He looked at her and took note of the slight disappointment in eyes.

He sighed and took her by the hand.

She looked up in surprise.

"Come on Karin, we're gonna be late" he smiled at her.

And they flew off quickly to school.

X:When they arrived in class:X

Just as Karin and Kazune stepped through the door, the whole class yelled in excitement.

"Woooooo! YEAH!." There was whistling and cheering and hooting, everyone seemed to be screaming of joy.

Karin and Kazune stood there, completely confused, not knowing what to do.

Until Michi shouted "Congratulations on your engagement!" followed by a screech of approval by the class, did then Kazune and Karin understand what happened.

They both blushed madly and Karin scrambled to get at her seat.

As soon as she was there, she could immediately feel the death glares of Kazune's fan club.

Kazune soon made it (with struggle) to his seat, blank face with red color on his cheeks, pouting.

The class began to settle down as Michi raised his arms for attention. "Oh come on you guys, don't be so shy! We demand a kiss!"

The class roared, "YEAH! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

Kazune looked over at Karin's seat. He could clearly see she wasn't comfortable. She had her head rested face down on the table, looking sluggish and regretful.

"Alright guys! That's enough!" Kazune yelled , "No more of this nonsense! Stop!"

"Awwww" the class said in unison. Everyone slowly and sadly left to their seats.

Michi went over to greet Kazune. "Heya Kujyou! Why the gloomy face huh?"

Kazune threw a serious face at him "Michi, did you tell the whole class we were engaged?"

"Of course not! A couple of people overheard the teachers talking about it and, well, here come our news reporters" he began to chuckle.

"Damn" Kazune sighed.

"What's so bad about them knowing?" Michi asked

"Karin and I and aren't comfortable with it yet. Now the whole class knows? That's terrible!"

"Kujyou, it's fine, news is news, it'll pass." Michi smiled at him and left to his seat.

Kazune wasn't happy at all.

X:During Lunch:X

After getting food, Karin and Kazune headed to a forest-ish place on school grounds to get away from all the engagement commotion.

Karin was going to ditch during lunch to go see Jin again, but in the morning while getting ready, she figured she'd go after school because it's an early day out. It gives her more time to be with Jin.

Karin and Kazune sat next to a pond. As soon as they did, Kazune began apologizing for the big scene this morning.

"It's ok" Karin said. "it's bound to happen either way."

"Yes, but I know you aren't comfortable with it. And sometimes I'm not either…"

Karin looked up at him, "Sometimes?"

He sighed, "I know you're probably very uncomfortable with it, the fact that we're engaged, but I think we should try to get used to it."

"What do you mean by that?" she asked, feeling like she knew what was coming at her.

"What I mean is….I think we should act more like a couple and begin to accept the fact that we're engaged, that way we won't be so uncomfortable with it in a short amount of time." He told her, afraid of her rejecting.

"But Kazune, I'm not s-" she started, but Kazune cut her off as he placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Karin, please, let me assure you of one thing. I'm committed to you. I swear, I won't hurt you, I won't leave you, I'll be as caring as possible, I'll be there for you whenever you need me. I'll take care of you and I promise." He told her, looking at her straight in the eye.

"…But you've already been doing that for the past 16 years." She said, "nothing's going to change whether we start being a couple or not Kazune. There's no point."

"Karin, please, can you think about it at least?" he pleaded.

Karin sighed. "Fine, I'll think about it."

Kazune bent over and kissed her cheek. Karin moved away in surprisement.

He smiled at her, "Thank you."

"Kazune…you just.." she couldn't believe it.

"I know, Karin. I know."

X:Afterschool:X

Karin was practically the first one out. She flew and flew so fast, she was practically out of sight within seconds.

On her way there she thought about what Kazune told her. She really didn't want to change what they have now.

'I just don't have those types of feelings for Kazune…' she thought, 'he's a brother to me, I thought I was a sister to him too.'

'This is so difficult. First the whole school knows about our engagement, now he wants to be a couple? And he kissed my cheek… no one is supposed to kiss anyone before they're married! He broke a law! At least no one saw, who knows what would've happened!'

She sighed, 'I just need to get my mind off of these things, visiting Jin will help me, I've been wanting to see him all day' she smiled to herself, 'I wonder if he's there yet…'

As soon as she arrived to the portal, she checked her surroundings to see if anyone was near. The coast was clear; she swooped down into the human world.

Working on chapter 5 and this time, it's serious. I know this chapter was more centered on Karin and Kazune, but I assure you, the next chapter will be gold. *hint hint: Jin isn't v- ..? what? Huh? How many girls before Karin? What? He forgets about Karin? WHAT, he does WHAT to her?

Stay tuned! (; Thanks for reading.
