"Isn't that the demon hunter looking for a Familiar?"
I looked up, seeing a demon in the foliage, staring at MY Shizu-chan as he walked through the woods, a thoughtful look on his face. Oh, was he planning on being Shizu-chan's Familiar? Only one way to find out~!
"Are you planning on being his Familiar?" the demon looked around, searching for me. Of course he wouldn't see me. I was hidden in the shadows.
"Yeah," he said, "I was."
"That's all I needed to know." I jumped out of the shadows and pinned the demon to the ground. I rested my claws against his throat, a blank look on my face. I drew my arm back,
"No one can be Shizu-chan's Familiar but me."
I sliced downwards in an arc, tearing his throat, destroying his veins and windpipe so he gagged and choked on his own blood. The red substance stained the dirt on the ground, my forearm, and some even splashed onto my face, but I just continued staring blankly at the demon until he breathed his last, falling limp as his blood continued sinking into the earth.
By this time, Shizu-chan was long gone.
I stood up off of the corpse, leaving it to rot, while walking to the nearest lake. I undressed and went in, the cool water washing all signs of murder off of my body.
Did I care that I had murdered someone? No. did I care that that someone was of my own race? Not a bit. He wanted to be Shizu-chan's Familiar. I can't allow that. I won't allow that. Shizu-chan isn't allowed to have anyone as a Familiar but me. Even if I have to kill every demon and demoness in these woods in order for that to happen. And I wouldn't hold back.
I crawled back out of the water, washed the blood out of my clothes-hey, even if they were black, SOMEONE was bound to notice-and put them on before laying in the sunlight, letting it dry and warm me.
Recently, the humans have started investigating the sudden murders of demons in these woods. They could find no connection between them. Of course they couldn't. Unless they could somehow make the dead rise to confess about their wanting to be Shizu-chan's Familiar before dying, then there was absolutely no connection, and no reason to suspect me.
I had been interrogated, anyway. I easily lied my way out of suspicion, though I don't think a few of them were completely convinced. As if it mattered to me. As long as they didn't have proof that I was the murderer, then everything would go according to plan.
I heard crunching in the forest behind me, but disregarded it until a familiar voice growled my name. "I-ZA-YA!"
I bounced into a standing position, turning to grin at the person. "Shizu-chan~!"
He glared at me. "Why the hell are you wet?"
I tilted my head. "I bathed, obviously."
He wrinkled his nose. "You bathe?"
"That hurt, Shizu-chan," I said, pretending mock hurt, "If you must know, I had gotten into a fight earlier. I won, of course."
Shizu-chan was silent for a few moments. Then he shocked me with his next words.
"You're the murderer, aren't you?"
I started at him for a few moments before lowering my head as I started to chuckle softly. Slowly, that chuckle grew into a loud cackle. I threw my head back as I continued to laugh, my sides almost hurting as my laughter died down.
"You think I'M the murderer, Shizu-chan?" I asked, "That's a horrible accusation!"
"99% of the time, when you're around, trouble seems to follow," Shizu-chan muttered, hands in the pockets of his black jeans, "And you are the ringleader."
I let out a low chuckle. "And you can't have any faith in that last 1%?" I lifted my claws to my lips. "Guess that's a no."
He walked casually over to the large tree nearby him and gripped it, ripping it out of the ground by the roots. "IIIIIIIIIIIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AYAAAAAAAAAAA!" he threw the tree at me and I dodged out of the way, landing on a nearby boulder.
"You know, Shizu-chan," I said casually, "if you keep that up, you're going to end up scaring off all demons within a mile radius." I started dashing towards him, stopping when a blur of black pushed me back. I back flipped away and stared at the figure that dared interrupt our fight.
It was a female clothed completely in black, with black smoke curling from her neck where her head should have been. A Dullahan, then? I heard branches breaking, and turned in time to watch Shinra stumble into the clearing.
"Wait up, Celty!" he froze when he noticed Shizu-chan and i. "I-Izaya-kun! Shizuo-kun!"
"What's the meaning of this, Shinra?" Shizu-chan asked. Shinra's reply chilled me somewhat.
"There is a group of demons in town, threatening to kill everyone there unless you show yourself."
