Kumiko 3rd POV

She sat in class, staring at the cube of clay that she was tasked with to make something. She was thinking of what she would make while trying to ignore her 'father'.

"Come on my little Oni, make something that would make daddy proud!" said Azazel aloud. he got smiles from the other parents who joined in cheering on their children.

"Yeah, make daddy proud" whispered the Blackstone sitting behind her.

She tried her best to stay calm, not to beat them with her Kanabo and the power of the guardian of Kimon like earlier in the morning while thinking 'I should have added some Chimera's blood to that potion, it would have spared me one headache'

Li Niang 3rd POV

Since she didn't have a family member that would come, she asked Lifain to come as her 'Sister'. Kumiko was already in her class, so she didn't have a choice. Some boys were looking at the Irish girl with envy, as well as some fathers.

"Ye can do it lassy," said Lifain as she was wearing a green top with a pair of fingered gloves, and she wore black pants with black boots.

"Excuse me, ma'am" called a man standing next to her.

"What do ya bloody want?" asked Lifain.

"I was wondering if you had time after, we could talk about something that may interest you" he replied "You see, my son, who is the heir to my company, would like to go out with that young girl" he then pointed Li Niang "I'm sure that there won't be any problem"

"I'm not te one ye should lick te boots of fer th'at" replied Lifain with an annoyed look "After all, her father can have ya, and yer lad, killed te moment ye try to do somethin' to her"

The man gulped and changed his placement, leaving Lifain's side.

-Scene change: Vali's team hideout-

Glarion 3rd POV

After returning from his little errand, the half-dragon opened the box and glanced at the object that was inside; a gold medallion with the inscription 'Polod' on it.

"What's with the box?" asked Bikou from the top of the Gorgona Oak.

"A treasure that mother left for me" answered Glarion "It was supposed to compensate for my lack of physical abilities"

"And…. what does that mean?" asked the monkey boy while pointing the inscription with his extended Ruyi Ba`ng.

"It means strength in the elven language" replied Glarion "I thought that I would need it, but I found another way to hide my physical weakness"

"Why take it out now?" asked Bikou as he climbed down from the tree.

Glarion sighed before answering "I planned to offer it to a girl a long time ago, but she had chosen someone else"

"So, you're going after her?" asked Bikou.

"Quite the contrary" replied Glarion "If she's happy with him, then I don't care"

"Boring" commented Bikou before climbing up the tree again.

Glarion sighed before teleporting to where he had taken the medallion to repair the area damaged by his flames.

-Time skip: after class-

Kumiko 3rd POV

She was walking down with a traditional Japanese demon mask made of clay in her hands, with a smiling Azazel walking next to her.

"That wasn't as bad as you imagined the day to be, right?" he asked her.

"It was worse than what I've imagined" replied Kumiko with an annoyed face.

"I wonder how our one-hit killer is doing" mused Azazel before getting a jab.

"She's very very VERY sensitive about that," said Kumiko.

"If she could get over it, then she can easily forget what happened" stated Azazel "But killing for the first time can be hard for some people"

"That's why you need some tact when you'll talk to her later" warned Kumiko.

"Right, I know the drill" sighed Azazel "I'll go see her now"

Kumiko sighed before trying to walk away, but she was blocked by three huge boys.

"What do you want?" she asked with hostility.

"Don't be like that, you'll destroy your beautiful face if you don't smile" said one of them.

"What. Do. You. Want?" this time she was pissed.

"We are members of the Judo club and we were wondering if you would join us" he answered.

"They're doing it again"

"Can't they understand that they should stop?"

"I bet that they're going to find her boyfriend and send him to the hospital like with the others"

After taking a deep breath Kumiko said "I'm not interested and will never be interested, now go away"

As she tried to walk away, she was caught by her wrist and yanked by who she assumed was their leader.

"We know that you want to join us, so just accept," he said before grabbing her face "We can be better than anyone you know"

That was it!

POV-DEVEN

Deven was walking down the hall with his clay statue of his preferred form in his hands. It was incredibly detailed. He turned the corner to see three students unconscious on the ground with a bunch of other students surrounding them. 'What the hell happened to them?'

When Deven got out to the schoolyard, he saw Kumiko walking out of the gate and got an idea. He used one of the spells he learned recently and cast an undetectable tracking Sigel on Kumiko's back. He had tuned it so that not even Albion could sense it. Only a Yokai would be able to sense it, which made Bikou a problem. Hopefully by the time Bikou finds it, he would already know where their base is. He then began his treck back to his home.

As he was walking, he could feel a certain black cat following him. He felt it way back to when Open house began. Once he got to a place where there were no people, he stopped walking. "Any particular reason you are following me?" He turned around to see a slender black cat drop from a tree. It seemed to have a sad expression on its face, it sat down a short distance away. "How did you know?" Kuroka's voice came from the cat. "You hid your presence well, but I could feel something supernatural following me around. It was either you or a familiar." Her tail and ears drooped, she had been played. She approached and jumped onto his shoulder, she was slender enough to sit comfortably on it.

Deven got weird looks from passing pedestrians but he ignored them. By the time Deven got home, Kuroka was now resting on his head for reasons she would not explain. He walked in the door, but she refused to get down again for reasons she would not explain.

Shaia walked into the room and saw his predicament. "You seem to have a cat on your head." Deven looked at the dragon with a dead stare. "She won't get down." Kuroka had also fallen asleep, curled upon his head. Koneko was the next one to enter the room, she saw her sister on her senpais head and smiled. She transformed into a small white cat, just smaller than Kuroka and curled up on his lap. "Koneko?" He decided not to ask. Shaia giggled and transformed into a small purple dragon similar in form to Tiamat, she was slightly bigger than Kuroka. The curse breaker curled up on his left side. He also heard snoring on his right side and discovered Tiamat had also joined in. He sighed in defeat and accepted his new position. Kuroka moved from his head and curled up with her sister, both cats snuggling each other. Deven smiled and decided to enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasted.

It was worth it.
