"As well as the existence of this world-the world you and I live in-there exists another world. The Makai-the world where demons rule."
Mitarai sat on the edge of his bed, his knees drawn up to his chest. No, he thought. No, this isn't happening .
"There is, however, a barrier between our world and their world. But you have power-"
Mitarai clung desperately to his feet, remembering the insane look of excitement that had come into Sensui's eyes as he said that.
"Enough power to help me take down that barrier."
Even now, Mitarai still secretly thought this was impossible. Even if there was a such thing as this….Makai, the thought that Sensui was trying to take down the barrier between these two worlds seemed crazy. And even if could, why? Why take down the barrier? What purpose would it serve to let demons flood their world?
"But I should trust Sensui-san. He believes in me. He trusts me. He loves me. Surely he will know what's best for me. But…………can I trust the other one?
Mitarai thought of the green-haired male who Sensui had introduced to him as Itsuki.
"This is Itsuki. He is not a man, but a demon."
Mitarai doubted if Sensui could be manipulated. He just seemed so unshakeable……But if he could, this would be the man pulling the strings. Itsuki seemed nice, yes, but there was no question that he was intelligent. He could easily be pulling Sensui into a crazy plan, especially since Sensui seemed very close to the quiet demon.
He unfolded his knees from his chest and tried to think. If all this was true, and the barrier was opened allowing demons to seep through, what would happen that could benefit Sensui? From what he had heard about these demons, they were large, dangerous, and ate everything in their path...
Everything in their path...Mitarai's eyes widened.
No...not possible...
his dreams were uneasy that night. He stood in the middle of the street, watching helplessly as demons caught terrified people and ate them slowly, their faces contorted in pain. In the midst of all this, Sensui stood , drenched in blood, smiling.
"See, Mitarai, this is much better. The Earth will no longer be polluted by filthy humans. The age of demons has come."
Ad with a jolt, Mitarai woke up.
"Ths is much better..."
Of course, Sensui hadn't actually said thse words. But Mitarai kept dwelling on them.
Was it better? Was the realm of humans better without humans?
He frowned. No, of course not. All his common sense told him that humans should be kept around. And yet, in the back of his mind, a small voice reminded him how cruel humans werre to him, how he had seen that intolerable cruelty was practically second nature to humans.
"I'm not so sure anymore," He muttered to the darkness.
A/N: A short, completely blah chapter. My muse is MIA. Oh well. With all luck, the next chapter will be better, because the rest of the Seven will be present in it.
