Chapter 4 – How I Go

RECAP:

Me: Need to ask you something. Reply now.

Almost half an hour passed by. At that time, I had already gone back to finish my homework. Just when I was about to give up and turn off my phone, a beep alerted me.

Crackhead: What is it you want, darling? Is it that important that you have to go and interrupt my beauty sleep?

Me: Yes. Why'd you tell Okumura Sensei?

Tick Tock.

Crackhead: Tell him what? :O

Me: what I am.

Crackhead: 'Cause I felt like it. :}D

Me: Don't give me that ":}D". Why is he the only one who knows?

Crackhead: Becauuuuuuse 8D

I was officially pissed off. I decided to end it for today and get some rest. Besides, all my worksheets are all done, which made me relieved. And Suguro did offer me help tomorrow at lunch.

Me: I seriously want to whip you right now. Go away. Bye.

I threw the phone on my bed and jumped into the soft cushions that waited for me. When I was in a comfortable position to sleep, a beep sounded.

Crackhead: Oohh I never knew you were such a masochist~ 3 Goodnight, darrling~!

My mind was set: When I see him tomorrow, I'm going to shove his umbrella up his ass.


I woke up before Shiemi did. She was in a curled up position, her blankets were completely covering her. I got up and washed my face, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. I took out the pills that Yukio had put on top of my desk and stuffed them in my bag. I quietly headed out the door and went downstairs to eat breakfast. On the way down I was getting dizzy and feeling warm, my usual symptoms were appearing whenever I was about to get sick. After I finished eating, I took a pill out of the case and gulped it down with water. I immediately got better. Taking these everyday is such a pain.

I went outside of my dorm, deciding to walk around since it was still early to go to my day classes. Unexpectedly, Mephisto in dog form appeared.

"What do you want?" I said.

"You got them right? Did you take one this morning? You know how fast you get sick after waking up." He said looking up at me. I picked him up. He was really light.

"Yup, don't worry. Um… Thanks, for making them for me. I don't know what I'd do without them." I looked down at him and smiled lazily. For a second, his dog cheeks were tinged with pink.

"No problem. Anything for my darling~" I rolled my eyes. He jumped out of my arms and turned into his human form.

"Come to my office, I need to check something." And with that, he disappeared into a thick screen of pinkish purple smoke.


"Nice office." I said when I walked through the door. In front of me, I saw a table full of outrageous Japanese stuff.

"Um…?" I looked at Mephisto, who was sitting on his chair on the opposite side of the room.

"That's mostly Amaimon's stuff… don't mind it… Unless you want one?" He smirked.

"Nah, I'm good. So what'd you need to check?"

He eyed me up and down, then walked around me, still keeping his eyes on me. He stopped his footsteps behind me.

"W-what are you doing?" I felt a strange feeling on my back and jumped away from him. He leaned towards me and grabbed the sword with the white handle. Golden flames burst surrounding the blade of the sword. He put it back in the scabbard. Then, he took the sword with the black handle out. Ceil colored flames as well entangled themselves around the blade of the sword.

"The flames cover the swords but not you… Have you ever taken these out at the same time?" He asked me. I shook my head and said, "Only one at a time." He placed the black handled sword back into its scabbard.

"Good, don't."

"Why not?" I looked at him, confused.

"Well, we don't know what would happen if your two powers clashed against each other. Having half and half in your blood now is enough to kill you."

"That's why I've been taking those pills you made for me all this time right? No wonder I used to get so sick when I was young."

He chuckled. "Why else?"

"Uh, to be honest… I thought you were the cause of my sickness…"

He looked at me.

"I mean! Before I would get sick you'd be at my house… I mean I know my mom chose you as my guardian and all since she's outta the house everyday anyway but it was ridiculous how many times I got sick with you around!"

He started laughing, rolling on the floor and clutching his stomach.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you're joking!" He finally calmed down. I crossed my arms and looked away.

"Hey, remember the times I helped you got better before I invented the pills."

"Yeah, yeah. Again, thanks. So is that all you needed to check?"

"Yup, you're good to go, hun!"

"Quit that!" I shot him a glare. "Uh, a question if I may…"

"Yes?"

"Could you tell me about my parents? And… how you know them. I'm confused on how I have half of both their blood in me right now… and how my mom doesn't remember..."

"… When the day comes. Besides isn't knowing what you are enough? And also why both demons and angels are after you-"

"Because a thing like me doesn't belong in Assiah, or anywhere else, right?"

"Now, I never said that-"

"Whatever. I gotta go, class starts in a couple of minutes. Sorry for wasting your time." With that, I dashed out the door.


Ding Dong. "Finally! Lunch time, I'm so hungry." A couple of girls exhaled as they got out of their seats. I stood up and headed outside towards a fountain in the courtyard. In the distance, I saw Shiemi, Rin, Yukio, Suguro and his gang. Shiemi saw me and ran up to me.

"Did you wake up early this morning? I should have woken up early too. We could have eaten breakfast together! W-Well, would… you like to eat lunch with us?"

I glanced over at the boys. "Sure, why not. I kinda need Suguro to help me catch up..."

She smiled then tugged on my sleeve, signaling me to come with her. When we got to the fountain we sat down, me next to Shiemi. I got comfortable, fixing my swords and plopped my bag down next to me. I took out the exorcist textbook, and looked at Suguro for a couple of seconds. He looked at me, confused.

"Help, please?" I smiled sheepishly. His face got the 'oh righhhhht' look and came and sat next to me.

"Which chapters don't you get?" He asked.

I sighed. "All of them." He facepalmed.


"Takano-san, since you missed last week's lesson on Tamers, let's give today a chance for everyone to try and summon a demon familiar."

"Uh, Neuhaus-sensei, what's a Tamer?" I asked, puzzled. Suguro whispered to me, "I taught you about the meisters at lunch remember?" I shook my head and smiled embarrasingly at him.

"Takano-san, I'd have expected you to know the basics by now. A Tamer is part of being a meister." I looked at him, still confused. He sighed.

"A meister contains of five categories. Tamer, Aria, Dragoon, Knight, and Doctor. In this case, you would be qualified as a Knight due to your swords, and possibly a Tamer if you are able to summon a demon familiar." I nodded.

"Now then, remember, to summon a demon familiar you must offer a drop of your blood on this paper with the symbol, or create a symbol elsewhere. Then chant something that first comes to mind. Like so." He proceeded to nip his thumb and smear the blood on the paper, saying some words, and out appeared this ugly looking demon that looked as if it could have appeared on Silent Hill. Or maybe it has.

"If your demon is causing you any trouble, just simply rip the paper, or disable the symbol you made. Also, if your familiar senses that you are weaker than them, they will attack you. So be careful." Sensei handed out a piece of paper with the symbol on it to everyone. Kamiki started first. She chanted something (which I could not remember) and out came two wolf-like demons. She looked at me and gave me a smug look. I averted my eyes in annoyance. Next was Shiemi.

"Uh… come out come out wherever you are… hehe… just kidding…" A few seconds ticked and green smoke puffed out into the air. A green looking doll appeared.

"Oh! You're so cute! I should name you… is Nii-san okay?" The green doll squealed in delight.

"Chiharu-chan! Won't you try?" Shiemi beamed at me. I looked at the paper and went to do the same steps.

"Hm… Marco?" Everyone gave me a weird look. Kamiki just snickered to herself and scoffed something insulting towards me. Just as I was about to give up on waiting, a flash of blinding light enveloped in the room. When the light toned down, nothing was there. I stood there like an idiot.

"Hah! How pathetic." Kamiki smirked. She was really testing my patience. I looked at everyone else, who had just as a disappointing countenance as I did.

All of a sudden, a gruff voice spoke out. "Polo." Then, as if I was in one of those fantasy games like Zelda or Kingdom Hearts, I began to levitate. Yes, levitate. Out of nowhere, a figure that first started out as a scaly tail, slowly unveiled itself out of its invisibility.

"A… dragon?" I was still levitating, looking down on the tiny thing.

"Damn, your small." The dragon was covered in pure white scales, which when light is shone on them, its scales reflected the colors of the rainbow. It had fierce golden eyes, slanted upward. Its horns spiraled and rested on its back. Hair substituted as golden flames went from the top of his head down its spine until the end of its tail.

"I'm only like this because this room is way too small for my original size to fit."

"This isn't possible… you're not a demon!" Neuhaus-sensei exclaimed. Everyone snapped their heads towards sensei.

"What do you mean it's not a demon?" I asked, still levitating.

"You know, you could stop that any time you want to," The dragon said. "Your power is my power. I'm your vessel."

Okay, I was really confused. What did it mean by 'vessel'? Does it know about what my powers are?

"You'll understand soon. And yes, I do in fact. Oh yeah, stop calling me an 'it'. I'm male." It answered without missing a beat. I gasped.

"What the crap, you read thoughts too?" I used this chance to try and get myself down. I was shifting myself, suddenly upside down then right side up over and over. I was getting dizzy. Shiemi and Suguro grabbed ahold of both my legs and helped me.

"Thanks guys… wait, can you all understand him?" They all nodded.

"You are not supposed to be summoned. Out of all the demons, a non-demon was chosen. Go back to where you came from. Takano-san, I'm sorry, but please rip up the paper and do not try summoning anything anymore." Sensei firmly said.

"I can't go back to where I came from. God banned me, if you remember learning about me in history." The dragon replied. "Chiharu, don't listen to this old coot. You need me."

I stared in disbelief at my peers, my teacher, and my familiar who wasn't a demon. I tore the paper. I would have to think about this later. But first: if he's not a demon, then what is he?

Sensei cleared his throat. "Does everyone remember learning about how God punished his lover and all of the things that belonged to her? That dragon you saw just now was her pet."

"Wait, why was she punished? Why did God had to punish the things that belonged to her, too? What did that dragon ever do?" I asked.

"God's lover committed taboo, so all of her things are considered taboo as well."

"But that's not fair. Punish the sinner, not the bystanders too-"

"That's enough." The bell rang. "Class dismissed."


"Hey Okumura-sensei." I said as I walked into his class and sat down in my seat. He nodded. As soon as everyone settled down, Sensei announced that a new student was here.

"He used to be homeschooled about exorcism, but his parents who were higher ups unfortunately, died on their assigned mission just yesterday. He will be a part of our class now, so please get along."

A teen with short shaggy dirty blonde hair walked in. His blue eyes locked on to mine. I was pretty sure I saw him somewhere. He looked so familiar, yet so different. And then it clicked.

I stood up abruptly. "Kei-kun?"

He kept staring at me. "Chiharu…"

"Is Kazuhiro… is he… alright?"

He hesitated, looking at me with a pained expression, then looked down on his feet. He shook his head.
