Claribella's PoV

As the song finished I felt eyes upon me like when I would perform back at the nationals.

Out of the corner of my eye I was Kazama, Shuranui and Amagiri.

They hadn't earnt my respect yet nor did I know them well so we were on a last name basis however that's how people addressed each other in Japan; last name first so it didn't seem abnormal.

I ignored them and continued with my skating, if they wanted me for breakfast they would have to wait, I wasn't going to be a prisoner in 'my' home. Only Teardrops played and so: two triple axels, a quad spin and lots of swerving around the ice ri- lake later that song had finished.

After that I skated to; Mz Hyde and Here's to us by Halestorm, you're so creepy by Ghost town, Colours by Halsey, Nerves by Icon for Hire and Devil by Cash Cash

Skating to the grass I sat down and put the guards on my blades after that I grabbed my phone and marched to the outer door, took off my skates and went to m-our room.

I didn't know what ran through Kazama's mind but I had read that he was in search of a powerful demoness to become his wife and if he thought I was an easy catch then he was very wrong. I won't give him what he wants. I am a person and I won't be a prize nor a possession of his, not now, not ever.

Just like him I could do what I wanted, when I wanted.

"If one is ignored long enough then they will loose interest in their goal." I whispered to myself.

Three weeks later

Wake up, skate, eat, practise ballet, use the tree branches as beams to do gymnastics on, eat, meditate, spar alone with my swords, taking chunks out if the trees nearby and then spearing them with arrows, eat, read then go to sleep. Aaaannnndddd...repeat for the next twenty days.

How miserable is that?!

I sat at the low table twisting cabbage around my chopsticks in boredom. I wondered what I could do for the rest of the day to keep me busy when Yamazaki came to mind; I realised I hadn't seen him since I got here. I shot up in my seat startling Shiranui. With renewed determination I turned towards the blonde demon and said that I wanted to see him. Realising that I wouldn't take no for an answer he got up with a sigh.

He led me to a stone building. Pushing the door open guards stood to attention as we walked past them. We stopped at a cell near the end of the corridor. I turned to the blonde behind me.

"Let me in." He merely raised an eyebrow at me, in the background I heard the guards gulped as I felt tension and fear roll off them in waves.

'I want to see Yamazaki and I will do what I must to keep him in good health, when I left with Kazama I promised I would keep them safe. All of them.'

The corners of my lips rose as a dark glint filled my eyes. I stared at him as I pushed forth into his head with my mind. I was met with a strong barrier like a brick wall. I watched as his brow creased in pain at the sudden intrusion. I slowly increased the strength of the push as I waited for him to weaken if only for a second. The metaphorical wall cracked and I pushed through the crack to grab a hold of the first thing in his mind.

My mind filled with pins and needles as I made a connection with his mind. It wasn't a memory like I had hoped but it was even better.

'What is ?! I don't. Gurgh!'

My bleeding moonlit eyes met his crimson ones. As his widened in realisation.
