Adorable Mamodo--Part 4
"Hey, where am I?" I asked, slowly opening my heavy eyes. "Oh, you're awake. I was worried that you were a goner," said the voice of someone whom I didn't know. Turning to the left, I said, "Who the heck are you?" The tall man smiled and said, "Reycom's former owner." Instantly, the heaviness in my eyes was lifted and they snapped wide open to stare in shock at him. "…What did you just say?" "I'm the guy that used to own Reycom. I don't know how you ended up with him, but…" his voice trailed off when he saw that the small Mamodo was staring at him.
With a grunt, I sat up, only to fall back down from dizziness that still hadn't departed from my head. "Take it easy kid," he said. "Found ya passed out on the sidewalk not too far from here. I figured out the obvious when I saw that you had the blue spellbook. Actually, I was surprised that Reycom had found a new owner. And, before I forget, my name's Hosokawa." At this, my eyes again flew open. I recognized the name now, as well as the voice.
"You son of a--you're the one who committed that chain of bank robberies!" I turned to Reycom, whose eyes were now cloudy with tears. "Now that you know, I'll just leave," Reycom whispered and slowly walked away. "No!" I cried. "I'm probably the last chance you have at surviving and becoming king! Stay! I'm your chance to start over new." He stopped and faced me, and said, "Ok. You're right."
Meanwhile, Haru was in the middle of his backyard, planning revenge (heck and you people thought he was outta the story entirely from now on, huh?). "Man, she's a sneaky little biatch. Next time I see 'er, I'll--" He paused when another thought entered his mind. "She's a trickster…So, two can play at that game…Hehehehee…" Haru unplanted one of the many Venus flytrap plants. "She's been wantin' one of these for a while. I'll just ask if I can chill at 'er place for a while, give 'er the plant as a "peace offering", then sneak off to find wherever she keeps the spellbook. Once I jack it, it's byebye Reycom."
"Not good. Not good at all," Brago whispered and looked to Sherry. The pair was hiding behind a bush in Haru's backyard, spying on him like they did everyone else who'd owned a Mamodo or still had one. "Let's go stake out at Yasmina's home, and lie in wait to strike when the moment is right! When that SOB Haru tries to take her book!" "Brago, this is so unlike you…Something's wrong," sighed Sherry. "Nothing's wrong with me! Sht, now that MCR (My Chemical Romance) song 'I'm Not Ok' is stuck in my head at the worst possible time!" the demon growled.
"Eh?" Haru said and looked in the direction of where Sherry and Brago were hiding. He got up to look. "Weird," he thought when there was nothing there. "That was too close," Brago muttered. He slid out from behind a tree and said, "We go now." So, they quickly left in "stealth mode".
"Aah, a nice quiet day alone with my Mamodo…" I was obviously feeling better, despite being technologically stalked by my "dad", who just happened to be some weird Mamodo who overdid it on the eyeliner and needed a tan. Freaky.
I was sitting on a chair on the front porch, with Reycom on my lap. Today was the first day of winter, and boy was the tiny Mamodo going to enjoy it this
