Chapter 14: The Fear
School ended quickly today. I didn't even know what in the world I was learning. Still, I came home and greeted Kanta-kun. He happily held up a poster of someone I knew was popular throughout my school. I think her name was Megumi. 'I got this… for you!'
I was noticing the changes in Kanta-kun. He smiled more. He was kinder. He even occasionally let me hug him! Cheerfully, I took the poster and started walking upstairs into my room. "Thank you so much, Kanta-kun! I am so grateful!"
'I thought it'd make you feel better,' Kanta-kun stated, looking away. I hung the poster up and crouched down to Kanta-kun's level. Smiling, I lightly butted heads with him.
"It does, Kanta-kun. It makes me so happy," I replied, smiling my goofy-dumb smile. Kanta-kun nodded and turned away. I knew he was going to say something cocky.
'Well, yeah, it makes me slightly happy too, even if you're dumb a lot,' Kanta-kun replied. I picked him up and quickly left the house. He was dumbfounded the first few moments I grabbed him and left the house. 'Where are we going?'
"To visit Kiyo," I replied. Kanta-kun scoffed and jumped off.
'It's always Kiyo this and Kiyo that. Can't you go visit anyone else?' he asked me. I saw the smile on his face though. I shook my head and sweat-dropped.
"Actually… I can't."
'Gosh, girls are stupid.'
Swirling around to see where the voice came from, I saw a boy about my age. He had bright red hair and mysterious purple eyes. Crossing my arms, I cocked my head to the side. "Do I know you?"
"Nah, but I know you," he replied with a mischievous grin. That wasn't the voice that insulted me though. Behind him, there was a tall Mamodo boy with slick silver hair and cat-eyes. Kanta-kun ran ahead of me protectively. I took out my book and opened it.
"Whoa, whoa, there… baby, I just wanna talk," he replied, holding up his hands, showing that he wasn't holding a book. I ground my feet into the ground and Kanta-kun edged closer to me. The redhead pouted and pointed at me. "Not even giving me a chance, cutie?"
'Hmph, cute isn't the right word,' the other Mamodo replied, sneering. That Mamodo insulted me. What a jerk! Kanta-kun growled, sounding almost cat-like. I raised an eyebrow. The bell around his neck made him a bit cat-like too. Either way, Kanta-kun was angry. 'More like devilish.'
Kanta-kun charged towards the Mamodo furiously. He didn't manage a single hit on the guy, but the Mamodo slapped him away. Getting back up, Kanta-kun swiped a scratch and the other Mamodo stumbled backwards, blood tripping down from his cheek.
"Hey, hey… no need to fight here," the redhead said, walking ahead of the cat-eyed Mamodo. "My name's Ken and my Mamodo here, his name is Lio. Pleased to meetcha, Sammy-chan."
"How do you know my name?" I asked suspiciously. Ken laughed kiddishly and started to walk over. Kanta-kun ran ahead of me protectively again. I saw Kanta-kun tense up at his presence. I noticed that Ken's hair seemed to be short, but it really was just tied back. It was LONGER than my hair, but thin. It was thin hair. He had emo bangs too. It entirely covered his left eye.
"C'mon, kid, no need to worry," Ken said, shoving Kanta-kun. Kanta-kun flew towards the tree AT LEAST twenty feet away! I gasped and turned to run to him, but soon Ken was ahead of me. He grinned and looked at the book I held in my arms tightly. "Hey, why are you so tense?"
"You just SHOVED my best friend into a tree!" I screeched at him. Running around him, I found myself staring at him again. He reached out and I turned away, protecting the book. "Go away!"
"Hey, c'mon, Sammy-pii," he coaxed, placing his hands on my shoulders. I shivered slightly. His touch was creeping me out. Forcing me to look at him, I saw that his eyes seemed a bit lonely.
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend," I lied, looking away. Ken stepped back and laughed loudly, making me blush with embarrassment. He looked at me, straight in the eye. There was something wrong with his eyes. He wasn't a Mamodo… but he wasn't… human. Contacts?
"Nup, these are my regular eyes," he replied, as if he had read my mind. "But, I was thinking… maybe you and I could be partners. You think so?"
He suddenly was behind me. The hair on the back of my neck stood on its end. His words nibbled on my ears as he whispered them.
"Because, if you don't… I'll tell everyone what you really are."
End of Chapter 14: The Fear
Author's Note: Eck, I've already written up to chapter 18 and I know I'm bringing him back, but not for a while. I might do a short chapter on him, but I'm not sure. I really like these two too, but I still have to think of their objective of getting me. I have a vague idea, and it's pointing to they're bad-guys. Hahahaha, maybe not. It all depends.
Shonen Jump should get rid of Yuu Yuu Hakusho,
Sammy
