Chapter one
"Oh well. Insanity's not that bad, kid." The bat demon said.
"Shut up before I make you." I growled.
He just laughed. "You can't make me. I'd like to see you try to make me!"
I thought quickly. When nothing came to mind I replied with, "Hn.". I attempted to ignore his snickering and walk off but he appeared in front of me. I walked right through him, my shoulder stiffening. It was a creepy feeling that's hard to describe.
He started freaking out. "Don't do that!" he glared at me and I glared back.
"Then stay out of my way," I replied coldly.
"Tch." Was all he said and he continued to follow me.
We walked in silence for a few moments but it seemed that Kuronue just couldn't stand to keep his mouth shut.
"Hey! I got an idea!"
My right eye twitched. "…Alright. What?" I asked.
He smirked, showing his fangs again. "We could go find some sake or find something to do, I mean. You seriously need to have some fun! You just wander around aimlessly all day long!"
"Hn." Came my typical response again.
He made a face. "You're no fun…" I ignored him. I was wondering if all my years in solitude had finally driven me insane and maybe he was my insanity just given a semi-solid form. It seemed logical.
"Hey kid?"
"What?" I snapped.
He stared at me for a moment before grinning. "I forgot."
It was tempting to beat my head against a tree but I remained calm and continued walking. Maybe I was just dreaming?
I bit down on my thumb, my small fangs drawing blood as a bit of pain ran through my arm.
… Or maybe I was wide-awake and this was all really happening. I sighed mentally. Great… Just… great…
