HEY THERE! I'M REALLY SORRY I TOOK SO LONG! ^_^
AT LEAST I UPDATE THESE CHAPTERS OF MINE ONE BY ONE... I'M BUSY WITH SCHOOL WORK AND HAVING FAMILY MEETINGS WITH A GUY.


CONFRONTATION WITH THE HELL GIRL (Silent Friendship)

"Go out with me for a while." Rikuo said. The Hell girl, who didn't have any emotions, stared at him for a little while and wondered what she should do.

Maybe this should take a while to get her.

"Why?" she asked.

"I want to know everything about you." Rikuo smirked as he deeply looked into her eyes.

Trying hard... But it's still not enough.

"Stop this nonsense all of you." Nurarihyon came in while smoking his pipe.

Great. Terrific. How stupid. She didn't even answer me. I can't let that happen! I won't!

"Enma Ai..!" Rikuo called to her. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Rikuo.

"Is there anything else you want?" she asked.

"I want you." Was Rikuo's only reply.

"Now will you go out with me?" Rikuo asked her again.

"Alright." She finally replied.

The next night, after the proposal Rikuo just made, while he was sitting on the branch of the sakura tree, his Night Parade of One Hundred Demons kept on questioning him.

"Master! Why on earth would you want Hell girl?" was the question everyone was asking.

"It was the only way to know more about her, so I can stop this cycle of hatred and revenge." was his only answer.

Meanwhile, in the Nura clan meeting room:

Rikuo... you sure have a great attitude towards that kind of woman.

"Supreme Commander, do you want the Third Heir to be like this?" Gyuki asked the thinking Nurarihyon.
"Yes, Gyuki's correct. Do you have something planned for the Third Heir? I never thought he and that Hell girl would create a relationship." Karasu-tengu shared his opinion.
Nurarihyon kept silent. He just kept on drinking his tea and didn't do anything.

Rikuo... maybe... just maybe... that Hell girl is more powerful than you.

Rikuo on the sakura tree:

Amidst looking at the new moon, Rikuo suddenly heard the voice of the Hell girl calling for him, making him drift into a village in the twilight in the blink of an eye.

"What is this?" Rikuo uttered. He was still sitting on the sakura tree, but when he saw a small house (the one and only house) in front of him, he jumped down and took a look in front of it.

"Why are you here?" a woman said. It was Hone-onna, the one who refused to give her Mistress to that yokai.

"I didn't come here on purpose, woman. I was looking at the moon peacefully when I was transferred to this place so suddenly." He replied.

"Hone-onna..." Wanyuudou, the other assistant of the Hell girl called her. "We can't interfere with their affair."

"What do you mean affair? They're not even considered as lovers yet!" she protested.

"You fool. Just give it up. We can't do anything. She decided to do this in her own. But yet..." Wanyuudou and Hone-onna looked at Rikuo and scanned his entire demon form.
"Nura boy, I want you to remember this." Hone-onna started.

"What is it?"

"You may be the Third Heir of the famous and strong Nura clan... But there is no way you can defeat the Mistress. She's the Hell girl, after all." She declared.

"What do you mean?" Rikuo questioned.

"Disturbing?" someone who had such a soft and sweet voice said. They were all shocked to see who it was.

"M-mistress?" Wanyuudou and Hone-onna screamed.

"Ai?" Rikuo only said her name. Her first name. How weird... I'm already calling her with her first name.!

"Wanyuudou... Hone-onna..." she said.

"We're terribly sorry, Mistress." They apologized, and then walked away. They walked far away from their Mistress and the yokai. Enough to give them privacy. Enough to leave them... Alone.

"umm... Don't you have work to do?" Rikuo asked. He has always known that she has always been sending people to Hell.
But why? Why isn't she working right now?

"No one has called me yet." The Hell girl started to followed her. They took a walk to the pond, at the back of the small house.
Enma Ai stopped in her tracks when she saw Rikuo stop to look around.
"What is this place?" he asked.

"This is... my home." She replied. "This place is just a replica of a village that burned down six centuries ago."

"Six centuries? Then... Does that mean you've been the Hell girl for the past centuries?"

"Right." She played with a pink paper balloon that was left on the ground near the pond.

Why? Why is she like that? I couldn't imagine her playing those stuff like that...

The atmosphere was so calm... Rikuo, who kept on staring at the Hell girl, was hypnotized by her eyes. They both had red eyes after all. He was entranced by her eyes. But then, he fell into a nightmare. As Enma Ai noticed him, she also looked at him, which brought him to a glance of Hell.

It's all hot in here. What is this?

Everything was on fire. Then, the dead came and grabbed Rikuo. They tore his clothes and began to eat him. Rikuo saw a big black spider above him, saying that he is no match for the Hell girl. After realizing what was happening to him, Rikuo screamed.

!NO! NO!

"Rikuo..." a voice called for him.

"What?" he muttered.

"Rikuo..." He saw a girl looking up at him. He was on her lap. They were looking at each other. Her hands were holding his head. Her face...

A face... of a... woman..?

"Rikuo."
He suddenly gasped and realized who the girl was.
"Ai?" he uttered.
"What just happened?" he asked.
"That was merely an illusion, you don't have to believe in it." She replied.
"But... that was like... it was like..."
"Hell."
"You knew about it?"
"I was the one who made you get a glimpse of Hell. You have a straw doll. You entered my name on the box of the website. I am the one you want to take revenge on."
"But that was an accident.."
"An accident or not, you did it. So it is my job to see through you and show you what Hell is."
"You want me to know what it is?"
"It is merely an illusion, I told you. You don't have to believe in it, Rikuo."

Is it distrust?

Enma Ai and Rikuo again walked together around the village. Twilight... as always will be. Now, Enma Ai was holding Rikuo's right hand, so he doesn't fall into any trouble. She is the protector of that village. She is the Hell girl, and it's one of her duties.

While walking, they didn't notice that there were two people following them. Of course, it was no other than Wanyuudou and Hone-onna.
"Tch. I can't believe what they are actually doing." Hone-Onna complained.
"We just have to wait. We have to wait until that yokai pulls the string."
"But won't that mean Mistress will bring herself to Hell?"
"No. It's illogical. Although we know that from the beginning, Mistress was never gonna appear in front of that kid. He sent her name, and that's not allowed. But she seemed to have accepted it. So I don't know what we're gonna do."
"That's just impossible."

After spending time with the Hell girl, Rikuo was brought back to the real world. He was sitting on the branch of the sakura tree again.

It's kind of a weird thing. The Hell girl is actually...

"We have made a silent relationship." Enma Ai stated.

She was standing on another branch, near Rikuo. And they were both looking at the moon.

"Yeah, I know." Rikuo replied.

Maybe... I wanted her more than I thought.

This is only a first time. The relationship might turn out quite miserable. But try. Try your best.

"Ai, will you stop this cycle?" Rikuo began to ask.

"Why?"

Crap. I don't think this is gonna be good.
