"Kukukuku, back again are we?" Her silent laughter had made me open my eyes again. I don't need to wake to this mess again. I need the time that I want.

"It's... you again. You still want to affiliate yourself with someone like me?"

"So sorry, I couldn't help myself. Its your... 'desire' that's making me so interested in you~" She's as weird as the rest of them. They all have their own personality, but what is it that makes her the weirdest of the bunch?

"..."

"Not choosing to speak again?" Hiding her teasing smile, I chose to go on the offense.

"No, I just want to listen to something else that isn't you right now."

"Is that so? Then I'll just need to be a bit closer..." She shuffled herself to stand close to me.

"So all you could hear is my voice in that little head of yours~" She whispered in my ear. She really is strange.

"Whispering in my ear doesn't mean I have to listen to you." She started to caress my cheek with a blush on her face.

"But you responded, didn't you?"

"I wanted to give my opinion on your decisions. You're not the only one that wants to hear my voice." Her hand started to travel lower and lower on my body. My throat, my stomach, and...

"And not the only one that wants to 'touch' me... pervert." I stopped her hand from travelling anywhere else beyond that point. How long must I deal with these women?

"You can't blame a woman as to what she likes."

"...Staring at me would be enough for me." She then moved away from me.

"...Tell me, how many times has it been?" I raised my eyebrow in question.

"Probably... more than I could count."

"My, they must really want you to live don't they? Then again, I can't talk even if I wanted to." I turned to her direction to ask a question. A question that has been bothering me ever since me met.

"What do you want from me?"

"How many times have I told you?"

"Answering a question within a question is rude."

"You can't say that to me. You've done that a lot in the past." Crap, she had a point. I was only confused as to what these people even wanted from me. You can't blame me!

"Because I 'want you,' that's all you need to know."

"Okay, answer in a way where I don't get the wrong idea." She giggled at this. She was a enemy to all men. Well, to at least to me that is. She's a perverted woman.

"And I'm the pervert you say? I mean what I say. I'm a woman with needs, you know. What's wrong with me anyway? Something wrong with my body that you don't like~?"

"..." I quietly stared at her. I didn't want to answer her question because I knew she was going to tease me.

"Ouch, so mean..." She pouted like a child. A 20-year old woman should not be pouting like that.

"Anyway, you should be glad! I don't think there as been any man in the world that has women like this to be after you. No matter how destructive most of us are, we still need love."

"Inverse Spirits do not need love. All that matters to you all is destruction."

"Hm, I guess you are right. But then, you are also wrong. While I am not part of their party, I will ask this: What do you think happens when a Spirit doesn't have love?" Again with these weird questions. How exactly would I know the answers to these questions?

"..."

"Because if they don't, then all they would destroy... would be themselves." Themselves, huh? Should I feel bad for them in the slightest? They did destroy my world after all.

"All because of love? If it is true for what you say, then why aren't you stepping into the same madness they have? Why not destroy as much as them?"

"...Because I have already found the love that I needed." She was... smiling. She showed a genuine smile that I've never seen before.

"You might not remember it, but you should always try to." Love... such a familiar and comforting word yet, I still hated it for not understanding it.

"And besides, no matter where you go, I will 'always' find you. You will never escape these feelings that I have for you. I will even go against 'myself' to have you." With that said, she disappeared into the shadows. Just like she always did.

Inverse Spirits... I don't know that much about them, but they were the reason was to why my life ended up like this. Especially that 'lady' ever since I met her, I knew something was different about her than the rest of Spirits.

But it wasnt just the Inverse Spirits that did this to me. It still confuses me to this very day.

Dreams weren't supposed to come to reality, no matter how real it may be.

"Kurumi, you are really a strange Spirit." Even if she continued to follow me throughout my life, it only continue to get worse by the day. I could only dream of my life going back to the way it was, but sadly, the Spirits would never give me a break.

Never...

When was the next life?


"Kioshi, are you ready for school yet?" Shido's voice echoed throughout the halls.

"U-Um, give me one moment! I'm kind of dealing with something here!"

"...Is it Natsumi again!?" Shido was waiting downstairs with the rest of the Spirits. He was the cook after all. All they had to wait for was me to come down to eat. But I can't do that because of 'someone' getting in my way.

And I did not know who this 'someone' was as they lay on my bed...

"Kukuku, I found you, Kioshi~" Whoever this person was, I could tell that this person was going to make my life a bit more crazier than it already was.

The clock is ticking...

The life that I wanted to keep peacefully was finally far away from being a dream. The next day was also coming close to me by the second...

The time you spent here will not be wasted anymore, Ki. I will make sure that you live...

I need you Ki...

The day I finally hold your hand again is coming...

Wait for me...
