I was sitting in my private music room Mephisto had gifted to me after he found out I could sing a while back. I was humming softly while playing 'Fur Elise' on my violin. I was getting quite nervous because of what Mephisto told me to do a couple of days ago.
Today is the day I have to perform at the green light district bar. The time is ticking quite fast, my performance starts at 10 pm and IT'S ALMOST 9:30!?
'Shit I gotta get ready fast, good thing I already cooked dinner for Yukio.' I thought to myself fleeing out the music room, quickly locking it behind me.
As I finished getting ready, I ran back up to the music room unlocking it as I walked in. I grabbed my bag and carefully placed a few notebooks in there along with kurikara. When I was on my way out I felt Kuro pawing at my leg.
"Rinnnnnn, let me come"
"But-" I began but got cut off
"Please rin I promise I won't be much of a bother" Kuro begged in a pleading voice that really got to me.
"Ok fine come along" I gave in as Kuro purred and began trailing behind me. It took us about 15 minutes to reach the bar.
Once we got there we were greeted by a middle-aged woman that was a bit taller than me, with long silky blonde hair down her back, to top it off she had beautiful emerald green eyes and a warm welcoming smile.
"Hi. you must be Rin?" She said with her smile widening when she finished,
"Welp that's me, and you are?"
"Akari, Akari Kawasaki." Akari then took my hand and led me to a room backstage, "Alright Rin, your performance is starting, so go out there and show them who owns the stage!" She said pushing me out on the stage with Kuro sitting behind the curtains.
As I entered the stage, people were cheering as another singer was walking off. I started to get nervous. The stage was huge and it had a single piano and microphone right next to it, there were at least a thousand people there. But one face stood out to me, he looked like the mafia boss I won a fight to, back when I fought a lot at the monastery. I walst up to the stool and sat, getting my fingers positioned on the piano. I started playing the toon of my song and when the time got right I began singing,
I was listenin' to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands, down
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting impatient for me, down
And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you and
For a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true, down
And all this time I have been lyin'
Oh, lyin' in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the
Farthest place on my shelf
And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
But I kept runnin'
For a soft place to fall
And I kept runnin'
For a soft place to fall
And I kept runnin'
For a soft place to fall
And I kept runnin'
For a soft place to fall
And I was runnin' far awaybr style
Would I run off the world someday?
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Home where I belong
Oh, no, no
Now take me home
Home where I belong
Ho, ho, ho
Now take me home
Home where I belong
Oh, no, no
Now take me home
Home where I belong
"When I finished everyone started cheering and clapping. I ran backstage too panicked to respond, I quickly grabbed my bag and grabbed Kuro. On my way out I handed Akari a sticky note with my name and number on it,
"Im coming again next week same time!" I said dashing out the door. I bumped into someone on my way out, "Sorry-", "Rin?" A deep husky voice says and I froze at what he said. "H-how do you know my name?" I said without looking up, "Do you not remember me? My name is Seiichi, Seiichi Nao the mafia boss.",
"Oh, right," I said. After that, we began talking, he led me to his penthouse and Kuro went back to the dorms through the window I left open. Surprisingly we had a lot in common, I even told him about the whole 'son of satan' shit that ruined my life. Seiichi was only 19 and already a mafia boss. He told me he was a demon too, so we decided to hold a drinking competition to see how fast a half-demon can get drunk. I was at my 9th drink when everything went blurry.
