Chapter 8

"So can you give me more details about demons?" Aoi questions as she and Oga walk together.

"Demons? Uh… They're insanely troublesome to start with," Oga comments then glances at Berubo who was happily watching them.

"Oh? What do they do or eat?"

"Well the demons I'm with either cry or watch soap operas all day. I really don't know." Oga replies, "They have weird cooking that can kill you!"

"Really?" Aoi sweat drops. Food that can kill you?

"Yes, they have weird ingredients like demon somethings and they always compare those with ingredients here," Aoi used gestures that made people look at them weirdly but Aoi was okay with that.

There's no way she's not going to be okay with that.

"Well speaking of food here we are." Oga says as they stop in front of a familiar place.

The sun wreaked havoc on all the people that dare go under its rays. So in attempt to free themselves of the sun's wrath, Aoi and Oga went underneath the covers the small shop offered. After buying croquettes they proceeded eating them.

"This is delicious," Aoi said softly her eyes widening a tad. Her cheeks reddening, she peers over Oga with her heart beating crazily. This is a date right?

"I'm sorry I'm late," the sound of Beniko's voice kind of disappointed Aoi. The two turned and saw Beniko with Furuichi. Beniko waved at them and slowly approaches. "Have you two been having fun?"

Aoi gasps when she sees Beniko's eyes.

Cold

Blank

Dark

They were frightening.

Beniko inched closer to Aoi a sly smirk tugging at her lips.

It was then that Aoi felt a stinging pain run through her. She felt something wet at her side. Beniko slowly parted from her as she collapsed to the floor. Blood, she guessed. She guessed that that was blood. Aoi's vision started to get hazy.

"Oi! Beniko what the hell did you do?!" that was Oga?

"Aoi-chan's good as dead," Beniko.

Aoi heard somethings here and there, too bad she couldn't see anything. Was she really going to die?

"I had to hurry! I had to hurry!" Beniko's yells echoed in Aoi's ears.

Beniko…

…what was her problem?

What did Aoi do wrong?

She didn't do anything.

What was her…

…problem?

What was…

…her problem?

What was…
