Immortality

Disclaimer: I do not own OHSHC, and its characters but I do own the plot. I own a few OC's that would start appearing from this point. This story is also (AU).

Warning: Swearing and slightly gory.


(Last Chapter Preview)

A sudden slam of the door made her jump, alarming her and Haruhi's soft expression hardened of those of a serious fighter, "Who's there?" She asked. No one else except her should be there at the moment. Everyone should nearly be at dinner hall by now.

At first she could hardly make out the silhouette of the person on top of the stairs, "Who are you?" The silhouette became clearer every second, and Haruhi's mind played 'connect-the-dots' as she watched the figure harden into a more human-like form…


"Hello there, little kitten."

Haruhi froze, and her features hardened into an annoyed face. Her left eye twitched, and her lips pursed into a thin line. It was just a handsome long-silver-haired man with ocean-coloured orbs, presumably a teacher, looking down at her in amusement.

"Now, now, don't hiss at me like that. You should be worried for those six young detectives that walked inside the Elementary Building, there now. I suggest you take yourself over there and run, before it becomes a bloodbath, my dear."

The brunette glared at him, and her eyes darkened in colour, "What has that got to do with me? " She didn't like this man. His aura was dangerous, like that of a pureblood demon. Can it be that he's figured her out, already? She shook her head in disbelief, 'No Haruhi, that's not possible. This is your first day here. You've never met this guy until now.'

The unknown man snickered at her reaction, "You've got the potential, haven't you? Not everyone has the guts to walk around alone in such a large building," He waved his arms around slowly, "Especially with the current events, in fear of being attacked themselves."

"Who are you?" She ignored his true statement. This man wasn't a normal person, she was sure of that. He was undeniably sharp.

"My name is Danton Steele, mademoiselle," He bowed gracefully, "I'm at your service. I'm a science teacher here."

Haruhi held in a snort as she watched him flip his hair dramatically over his shoulder, "Well sensei, I don't think it's any of your business where I go, or what I do, unless you're some type of paedophile." She eyed him with curiosity swirling in the depths of her doe-like darkened amber eyes.

"It's more than my business, Fujioka-san." His gaze hardened.

She clicked her tongue. She doesn't remember telling him her name. "Steele-sensei, I don't think it's wise to pick on a new transfer student. Just remember that I don't exactly have a rich reputation, around here, to protect." A hidden threat hanged in the silent and strained air around them.

"Well you will sooner or later." He smirked slightly when he saw a glimpse of her confused and shocked face.

"What…-"

"Fujioka-san, I suggest you go to the Elementary Building right now, unless you want many others to lose their lives. It's become agitated because of the amount of people in its territory." He interrupted.

Haruhi tch-ed. He was right. She could start to feel the aura of death from where she was. Anybody near that building will be slashed to bits, which would not be a pretty sight, and it would be worse since reporters are just right outside the Academy, "Thanks for the information sensei," She gave him a forced mocked smile, "I think I'll just stop by and see what's going on." She saluted, and ran off towards the High School entrance.

A pair of ocean blue eyes, turned into a fiery red once she was out of his sight. He smiled darkly and chuckled, his velvet low voice echoed loudly in an enchanting way. "She's got quite the spunk, Kotoko," He stuffed his pale hands into his pockets and walked towards the window, "She looks exactly like you. What an interesting child." His eyes followed Haruhi's running figure.

The Sakura Trees waved in harmony with the wind, and the clock chimed noisily. The pink petals were carried gently by the wind and placed upon the ground. Birds chirped happily, as they comfortably lay on their nests. The blazing sun shone upon the Academy, gorgeously overlooking it.

At a distance, dark clouds began to gather and rain began to spit. Thunder boomed, and the lightning roared, and the civilians hurried inside the nearest store or café, or underneath the nearest dry shelter that they could find.

Danton worriedly stared out from the window, "Be safe, little kitten." And his shadowed figure disappeared from the windows of the building.


'Shit.' Haruhi looked through her widened fingers towards the darkening sky above her. This was bad omen. Her long, lean tanned legs ran faster towards the building that was emitting the aura of death. Just getting near it made her almost cry and choke, but with all the years of hardcore training that she'd receive from the institute, she was taught how to avoid such strong and sickening feelings of death.

When she'd arrived at the scene, she gasped quietly when she saw the bodies lying limply on the soaked and dirty ground. She quickly checked the nearest person by her feet, and felt their pulse. It was there, but it was slight. She prayed that the twenty others that were sprawled around her was the same and continued on. She growled in frustration when the door was locked.

Haruhi grimaced; 'Tch, what a typical plan. Nobody goes in or out.' She looked around for a few minutes until she saw a baton that lay near a police man's foot. Her smile appeared when she thought of an idea. The soaked girl leaned down and grabbed the baton. She stared at the door knob and started hitting it with the abused baton, "Come on… work!" She yelled.

Clink!

She whooped in success, and threw the door knob over her shoulder. Haruhi quickly opened the door, and gaped when she saw how big the place was. 'How the hell do I find those six detectives?' She slapped a dirty hand over her forehead, "Seriously, how bothersome!"

A muffled meow surprised the teenager and she looked behind her, only to stare at a pair of terrified earth green eyes. The kitten had a bloodied white coat, and its fur dripped water on the checker tiled floor. Haruhi picked it up, not caring about getting dirty herself since she already was wet.

"Would you know where they are?" She asked, with a soft tone in her voice. The poor thing was trembling in her arms.

The kitten replied with a meow. Haruhi nodded, and touched its head, closing her eyes.


Pant, "Help!"

"Please, someone, help!" A man yelled in a terrified tone. I whimpered at the shrieks that it was making, and hopelessly looked at my mother who lied still on the ground with a bleeding wound on her stomach.

"Mama…" I purred. I licked her wound, tasting the tangy metallic blood that covered my mother's stomach, "Mama…" I cried.

I was scared, I was alone, and so what would mama do now? I looked up at the bright moon, hoping to find a way out before it came back. It was my entire fault. I shouldn't have come up here, like mama said. Now she's gone…

"Come here, little one." A woman's voice spoke, I didn't look at her face because I didn't want her to see me cry, "Come on, let's get you out." I purred in reply, and walked sadly over to her arms. I felt like I was being lifted by wind, I felt like I was flying… because she wasn't like any other humans I've seen so far.

My vision blurred when I looked back at my dead mother, and looked away, "Mama…"

She patted me lovingly on the head, "It's okay, you have to be brave and live on for her, ne?" I imagined mama grinning, and meowed.

The human that carried me let me down on the window sill, and broke the transparent glass with a touch, "Go on," She said, "Jump."

I purred at her one last time, and jumped from the window sill towards the sturdy tree branch. Adrenaline pumped into my system, as I ran towards the bottom of the tree, and towards the thick bushes that effectively hid me from it.


A pained gasp escaped Haruhi's lips and she opened her eyes, panting, "Good girl," She smiled weakly at the trembling kitten, "Come on. I'm guessing, since it has a pattern, it should be along that corridor shouldn't it?"

As if agreeing, the kitten meowed and Haruhi quickly ran up the flight of stairs, through a corridor on her right, and a bridge towards her left. Before she knew it, the two of them arrived at the surprisingly empty corridor.

"What the-?"

The hairs on her neck stood up, and goose bumps appeared on her skin. She held the kitten tightly, who was trembling worst than before. Haruhi hid the kitten inside her cardigan, and turned around- only to face a bloodied distorted human face, "Give me my child!" It shrieked, and held up a kitchen knife swinging it towards her. She managed to dodge it just in time, but her right arm was hit. A ten centimetre slash, gashed her arm and she winced it pain. She ran for it.

'Ah, shit, what do I do? What do I do?' Haruhi looked back at its face as she ran through the same corridor that the three men ran through, and sweat started to form on her forehead. Her arm hurt a lot. 'Come on Haruhi, think!' She studied her surroundings, and almost stopped in happiness when she got an idea. She was going to have to do the unexpected.

Instead of going downstairs towards the main entrance, Haruhi took her chance and climbed up another flight of stairs. It blinked in surprise when Haruhi turned right, and accidentally ran on, but it was on her trail once again, "Give me my child!" It shrilled.

Haruhi panted, "Your child is up here!" She sprinted towards the roof. If she was able to bring it outside, she can safely exorcise it without breaking anything and accidentally exorcising innocent souls that lingered.

Waiting for the impact, Haruhi closed her eyes and put her arms securely around the kitten to protect it. It cried heavily in her arms. She groaned in pain, when her shoulder forcibly opened the rooftop doors. She heard a series of gasps behind her, but she ignored it.

"Give me back my child!" Its voice darkened considerably, and the three weren't even aware of the other six men who stood by the sidelines watching them in shock.

The demon raised the knife above its head, that hanged sideways, and Haruhi whimpered and closed her eyes. Her arms were bleeding badly, and her shoulder thumped in pain. She protectively turned around so the kitten wouldn't get stabbed.

"Oof!"

"Mori, Hani!"

She lifted her head when she didn't feel a stab. She looked sideways and noticed that a tall man with short spiky raven hair, and onyx eyes, and shorter blonde man with amber eyes, similar as hers, fought the demon with overwhelming strength.

The demon shrieked, and Haruhi covered her ears, 'No, no, no, that can't be good! They need to stop before they get hurt!'

She stood up, wobbling a bit, and made her way towards the three wrestling figures; until a large hand sunk into her shoulders, making her wince.

"What do you think you're doing? You're hurt." The voice, velvet like Steele-sensei's but more calming and safe, whispered in her ear. If it they weren't in a troublesome situation right now, then she was sure that she would have been enchanted by that voice. Luckily, she also barely heard him because of the loud pitter patter of the heavy rain that fell from the darkened clouds.

"I don't care," She glared at him, and took roughly shoved his hand off her thumping shoulder, "Sooner or later your friends won't be with us anymore if I don't get rid of that. It's not human, just to let you know," She took the kitten and gave it to him, "So it's best if I get rid of it." Haruhi limped towards the three figures one more time. She probably sprained her ankle during the fall, she thought.

"Thank you for saving me," She yelled through the loud rainfall, "So now I'll get rid of that damn pest for you guys! On three, get off it, understood?"

They gave her a nod.

"One…" The onyx-eyed man punched its distorted face, "Two…" The blonde hair one kicked it in the neck, "Three!" As fast as lightning, the two men got off it and ran behind her with incredible speed.

Haruhi raised her arms, ignoring the pain, and pointed her right arm towards the skies whilst her left arm was pointed towards the demon, "Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallacies, hostis humanes salutis. Crux sancta sit mihi lux!" She chanted calmly, but with power hidden in her voice.

The darkened skies tore apart, and a light from the heavens came upon her. The rain abruptly stopped and the demon shrieked, horrified. The bloodied kitchen knife fell to the ground with a thud, and it covered its eyes, crying, "My child!" It cried.

Haruhi hardened her gaze, and the power doubled making the demon twist in pain. A small frown appeared on her pale, dirty face.

"Stop that!" One of the detectives ordered behind her. She ignored his pleas, and her frowned became deeper. What a gullible man. Haruhi knew that this demon was one of those who knew how to effectively stir a human's feelings. That's what makes them so dangerous. There wasn't a child in the first place. There was no message like she thought there was.

The truth was it was hungry. It was simply a bloodthirsty demon who would go as far as to fool simple minded humans that it had an imaginary child, as bait. How disgusting.

With a close of the palm, the demon disappeared into thin air. Its soul immediately got sent back to Hell, were it will forever lay and suffer, and receive punishment for three innocent souls that he'd managed to eat. That certain one liked to eat the souls of men, but it tried to kill her because it was agitated and by then it didn't care about the gender of its preys anymore.

Once she stood still, her knees buckled and she felt her body fall towards the ground. Her head was thumping, so was her shoulder, and her arms were bloody. Her ankle screamed in pain, and she cried. The pain was more unbearable now. Soon, she lost consciousness, and the last thing she saw was a pair of worried onyx eyes staring down at her.
