That Shinigami, Heart Thief
Chapter XXV: That Shinigami, Darkness
The moon has taken the sun's place in the sky of the shinigami realm. All shinigamis have returned to their dorms for a goodnight sleep. The hallways remained silent as no one disobeyed the curfew time.
A pair of yellow-green colored eyes fluttered open, the eyes glowed in the dark as the figure slowly rose up from its laying position 'That was certainly a good nap.' Alex rubbed her eyes, tiredly. She felt that her glasses were no longer on her face, Alex led her hand to the nightstand beside the bed and found it and wearily put them on. Alex stretched her limbs as she yawned "How long was I out for?"
Alex looked down at her hand to see that she was still holding the silver hairclip that Grell had given her for christmas. She remembered that Grell was wearing the silver locket around his neck but it was a shame that Alex didn't get a chance to comment about the locket. Alex then remembered that Grell and her were about to kiss, until William interrupted them.
"My, my, it's about time you woke up." said a familiar male voice. Alex's blood ran cold, she knew that voice and it was no doubt that it's the demon. Alex quickly glanced around her dorm, a figure stepped out of the shadows. The neko demon's ears twitched and his tail swayed from side-to-side. He opened his eyes and the blood red color glowed in the dark.
"You," Alex seethed, "What are you doing here?" She quickly hopped out of the king size bed and walked to front of the bed "What do you want from me?"
The neko demon 'tsked' her like she said something wrong, "Not getting it aren't you?" He asked, Alex narrowed her eyes and the neko demon did the same, "I told you to get rid of those feelings that you have for that grim reaper." He growled with a scowl, "But yet, you didn't do as I say."
"What does my feelings have to do with anything?" Alex snapped "As well as Mr. Sutcliff?"
The neko demon took a step forward and Alex held her ground, "I know your gameplay, Alexandria. You pretend to know nothing about your past- the past that you hated so much. Get rid of that innocent act of yours that you used to fool every damn shinigami in this building and show your true identity."
Alex balled her hands into fists and gritted her teeth, "Why should I do what you tell me to do? I'm a shinigami and we don't take orders from vermin like you."
"..." The neko demon frowned then smirked as he chuckled darkly, "It would seem that your true personality of coming out but you're still holding that shinigami tone." He quickly disappeared.
Alex's eyes widen as she quickly glanced around her dorm. Silence was the only thing in the room except for the sound of Alex's heavy breathing, her breathing was suddenly cut short when a hand grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off of the ground "Let go of me," Alex growled as she gasped for breaths.
"It would seem that hanging around the grim reapers has tweaked your personality a little." The neko demon said with a straight face, his grip tightened around Alex's neck thus choking her "I wonder...will you defend yourself? Or will you let yourself become weak." The neko demon's pupils became slits.
Alex swung her left leg and aimed the kick for the demon's head but he grabbed her ankle and threw her towards the wall, Alex manuvered her body in midair and landed perfectly on the wall before launching herself towards the neko demon with a fist aimed for his face. The neko demon simply grabbed her by the throat and slammed her back against the floor, Alex held back a cry of pain as pain coursed through her back "Damn it," Alex muttered under her breath as she slowly sat up.
"I must confess, Alexandria." The neko demon started, "It would seem that you're standing up for herself now," The neko demon grabbed a chunk of Alex's hair and brought her back up to her feet "But you're still weak like you always were." He then tossed her to the side like a rag doll "Do as I say and nothing bad will happen anymore. Is that clear, reaper?" He said.
"..." Alex remained silent as she returned to her feet, she then sent a hard glare at the neko demon "I don't give a damn, you bastard."
The neko demon scoffed, "Hard headed like always. You'll see me again...soon."
Tears began to spill from Alex's eyes as she watched the neko demon suddenly disappear into the shadows. She panted as she tightly grasped her side. The door suddenly bursted open to reveal Grell, Ronald, William, Eric, and Alan in their sleeping clothes.
"Alex!" Grell rushed to the young reaper's side "Alex! Talk to me! What happened?" He cupped the young reaper's face in his hands.
Alex opened her mouth but no words came out, she shut her eyes tightly "I...I..." The young reaper then dashed out of the room.
"Wait! Alex!" Alex continued dashing through the hallway as Grell called after her, she made it to the staircase and hopped over the railing. Alex landed perfectly on her feet and ran out of the building. The young reaper snapped her fingers and jumped through the portal to the human world.
Rain poured down heavily as Alex jumped into the streets and continued running without stopping, her hair and clothes began to get soaked. Alex slowed to a stop, her breath drew heavy "Why...why must this happen to me!" Alex grounded her teeth, her salty tears mixed with the water of the rain. Her skin began to chill but she ignored it.
A cloth suddenly covered her mouth and nose, Alex gripped the hand that held the cloth. Her eyes slowly closed shut before hearing a male's voice say, "Ain't this a beauty..."
