Hello, everyone. Your girl's back to update another chapter for you all. Thanks for being so patient with me to write this chapter. Yui is getting help with her mental health while her sons are doing some revenge plans for her while she's unaware of the whole thing. I don't own the canon characters as they rightfully belong to their actual owners while I only own my OCs.
The mall appeared to be very busy tonight with both humans and demons buying everything they could from shops of the building. Apparently, the mall is having a contest. The contest will have the customers go on a shopping spare. There is said to be a hidden prize within the stores, but what it is, it's unknown since the mall refuses to tell anyone what it looks like because they could win the contest with it in their hand.
The hidden prize is said to be very precious with a priceless value on it. That alone was enough for the customers taking part in this contest right now.
"Attention, shoppers! If you believe you have found the hidden prize, please go to the waiting table where the water fountain near the food court on the first floor," A female voice said through the announcer.
A few shoppers quickly ran to the location to hand over what they believe to be the hidden prize among their items. According to the rules of the contest, the one who discovers the hidden prize will have a discount for two months.
However, the group of thirteen teenage boys didn't take part in such a contest. Mainly because they all thought this whole thing was just a scam for idiots who took this seriously. Plus, they kind of see how this whole contest is gonna end, but mainly chose to keep that to themselves. The group watched as a few humans and demons came to the food court to see if they found the hidden prize that will give a two months discount.
"I'll give it till dawn breaks," Kou said as he drank his soda with a bored look on his face.
"I'll give until these bastards end up fighting and trying to kill each other over this shit. Either way, it's amusing seeing all of these people behave in such a petty way," Shin said as he watches two vampires elbowing each other to the waiting table.
"Honestly, this contest only allows adults to enter, and yet many of them behave worst than my own brothers. And that's saying something," Reiji said, pushing his glasses up in annoyance.
"Damn, Reiji. Guess this means you have a new level of love for us," Laito said teasingly.
While the demon group talks about this whole contest thing, they were carefully being watched by two people above them on the fourth floor. A man and a woman made sure that they didn't look out of the ordinary as well as making sure the male demons didn't notice them or they were being watched by two people.
"They're all so nosy. Why did I come here with you all again?" Shu said as he turns up the volume of his player to cancel out all the sounds he hated.
"Then why did you even come here in the first place, Shu? I only came because I wanted Teddy and me to try out that new sweet I've heard in the candy store today," Kanato said as he gives some sweets to his toy bear.
"If I remember correctly, that father of yours said that we should try not to kill each other while the hunters are becoming more powerful lately," Carla said, looking for any possible demon hunters that might be around here.
"Tch, as if that bastard actually cares if we did try to murder each other. He won't bother to help us if those assholes actually did try to kill us," Subaru said as he cracks his knuckles to show off his anger towards his father.
"You're not the only one who hates that guy right now, Subaru. He has been nothing but a pain in our asses since the day we were born," Ayato said, taking a piece of his takoyaki.
"You guys have that problem with Lord Karlheinz, but we don't. My brothers and I are still indebted to him," Ruki said seriously towards his old rival.
"Lord Karlheinz may be sadistic and cruel... but he did save us... that night," Azusa said, having his fork on his left arm.
"We know that he does things we don't understand, but he still gives us a second chance to live again," Yuma said as he was getting ready to fight the Sakamaki brothers for disrespecting their father.
"Attention, shoppers, there are now only two hours left until the contest is over! Only two hours until someone finds their key for that two months discount!" The female announcer said excitedly.
Children's play area
A little boy who appeared to be at the age of six with platinum blonde hair that was wavy and short and sherbet pink eyes was wandering through the play area while looking for something. The little boy was at the edge of crying. Whatever he was looking for, it appeared to be very important enough to make him cry.
"Where is it? Sissy won't be happy with me if she finds out I've lost it," The little boy said as his tears fell on his chubby cheeks.
It was already past his and his sister's bedtime, but their parents didn't have anyone to take care of him and his sister for the night and so they took them with them to the nightly mall that he always found to be creepy.
The blonde boy kept looking for whatever it was he was searching for, but he kept finding nothing but his shadow. Eventually, the little blonde boy finally lets himself cry as he gives up on his impossible search. His sister won't be so happy to have found out what happened.
How is he going to tell her that he lost it when she warned him that he'll end up losing it in the mall and the play area? She always made sure that he had everything with him, and always reminded him to keep his stuff close to him at all times.
"Sissy will be disappointed in me when she gets here," The little boy cried as he waited for his sister to come.
"I lost my favorite toy forever and I can't find it!" He cried loudly.
"Kid, if you're going to cry like a baby, then your stupid toy is gone," A male voice said over the boy.
The little blonde boy turns his head to see a group of thirteen guys staring at him. He kind of felt embarrassed that they were looking at him. He wanted to say something to them like he was sorry for disturbing them, but he was told never to speak to strangers.
"Umm..." All the boy could even say.
However, there's something about them that made the boy from saying anything to them. His parents did say that if he and his sister ever met anyone so beautiful that they couldn't be even human, that meant that they were demons.
"I'm sorry, sirs," The boy said with a quiet voice.
"Geeze, kid, we're not that older than you. Well, physically, yes," Yuma said as he scratches his head.
"Right, sorry," The boy said, pressing his fingers together nervously.
He never was this close to the demons before. His parents always made sure that he and his sister were far away from the demon race. But he was a bit curious about the entire race since he thought they were kind of interesting to them. He wonders how modern culture was right about them glowing in the sunlight. Just like the movies his sister likes watching when their parents aren't around.
"I... I'm... I'm Kotaro. Kotaro Hamasaki," Kotaro said shyly.
Thanks for reading this chapter, everyone. The boys had just met a human child with the same colors as Yui's hair and eyes. Don't get any weird thoughts on this, people. Kotaro lives with his older sister and parents. While the mall allows kids in it, they're strict must stick to their parents or the play areas that are built for them. Also, the guys may have a soft spot for kids, but they won't admit it.
