Chidori POV

I catch up him and I frown. "Geez, you're in a hurry.", I say.

"Sorry, got a text from my mom. Says she's got good news.", he responds.

"Your mom! Oh, I miss her! How's she been?", I ask.

He gives me a pained smile. "She's been doing okay. It's me who's been stressing her out."

I frown and rub his arm. "Ryuji..."

He chuckles. "Enough with the sob story with me! Let's just go!", he says and I follow him to the Subway station.

We eventually make it to his house and I smile.

"I missed coming here. I'm sure she wouldn't mind.", I say grinning at him.

"I don't think she'll be able to tell it's you. Took me a while.", he said leading me in the house. "Ma, I'm home!", he called.

A petite woman with short black hair came running to him and hugged him. "Oh, you're here! I got lots of news!", she stops to look at me. "Who's this?", she asked.

I chuckled and looked up to see my mom.

"Where's your sister?", she asked me.

"Going home.", I said and she shook her head.

"Didn't even bother to come say hi...", she said.

Then Ryuji's mom gasped. "Chidori!!", she screamed in excitement and hugged me.

Ryuji laughed at my expression and I hugged her back.

"How was your first day at school? Did you get to make new friends?", she asked.

"A new friend...and an old one." I said looking at Ryuji.

He smiled at me and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Pay up.", my mom says to Ms. Sakamoto while holding her hand out.

She groans and pulls out a 5000¥ bill and hands it to my mom.

"You guys were betting? On what?", Ryuji asks.

"Whether or not, you'd remember her.", his mom says.

I shake my head at both of the ladies.

Ryuji chuckles and tugs my hand softly. "We'll be in my room. C'mon.", he says leading me.

I hear a whistle then the sound of my mom's yelp.

I looked around his room and it looked boyish as it should. Just a little messy.

He started picking up clothes and shoving them in his closet. "D-don't mind the mess. Didn't think I'd be having company over.", he says shyly.

"It's fine.", I said. Its better than being locked up in the basement.

I sit on his bed and lay back. He stares at me then smiles slightly and lays on the opposite side.

"So...", he started.

"What?", I asked.

"What's up with you? You've...been gone for years and now all of a sudden show up...what happened to you...?", he pressed on.

"You really wanna know?", I asked him and looked at him.

He frowned and nodded.

I sighed and began to tell the story.

"Before we left...the last day you saw me, my father...went on a rampage. He went full crazy on us out of nowhere. Yelling, throwing things, cursing at us in this unknown language. He seemed demonic. It was crazy. Mom couldn't figure it out so she threatened to leave but that didn't do anything but make him angrier. So, he destroyed the house and left. We packed up all that we could and left to live with my aunt, Stocking. She, of course, knew why he went crazy. She said, when they were younger, her and Mom got into a fight and...she left to Heaven. Leaving Mom behind. But, my father was captured by these she-devil girls, who also looked demonic. He was taken to the Mayor, who was basically the Devil himself. My aunt said they had to have injected him with a good amount dose of their blood, since he was just human. Since then, he's tried finding us, he's kinda got it under control but he's still dangerous and he's changed. He's hurt others if they didn't do what he said then when they attack him and innocent bystanders see, he'd play victim and get those people in trouble then use them. He's even captured us before and made me and Chiyo watch him torture my mom.", I sighed.

He just looks at me in shock and disbelief. "You've gotta be kiddin'..."

I sighed again. "I wish I was. Another bad thing happened as well...to me and Chiyo...you're probably gonna hate me and think I'm a freak so I'm not explaining.", I say turning away from him.

"What!? No! C'mon, tell me. You told me everything else.", he said sitting up.

I gave him a slight sad side look. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try me. After meeting MonaMona, you can't be as bad.", he said.

"You mean, Morgana?", I asked.

"Same difference, now tell me.", he said.

I sighed. "After my and Chiyo's birthday, something bad happened...like terrible...", I said and looked up at him. "We turned into demons ourselves. Our powers just went crazy all of a sudden, and even worse since we were so emotional about it. Mom thought she'd lost us, too. Uncle Garterbelt helped us get in control by training us and it worked.", I said looking at his confused and disbelieving expression.

"So why didn't you do that at the castle?", he asked.

"Do you really think I had the time to explain everything? And we barely know Akira. Think about how he would've felt, especially whatever that was that happened to him.", I said.

He frowned. "That's true."

"That's why I'm saying everything now. I didn't think I'd find you, suprisingly going blonde.", I said reaching up to his hair and running my hand in it.

He smiled. "Had to do some type of rebellion."

"I see.", I say smiling and blush at what I'm doing and drop my hand.

"You dyed your hair too.", he said.

"Not as bad as yours. I kept it natural at least.", I say.

He has a fake shocked-hurt expression. "This is natural!"

I laugh at his antic and he smiles again.

I blush slightly under his gaze wanting to shield my eyes but I can't...

A/N: 1027 words including these XD

But all in seriousness, I'm gonna be making it my goal to at least finish this book by the end of this year, since this year went by incredibly ridiculously fast.
