"The fool doth think he's wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." - William Shakespeare
Kami can it get any colder?
I was shivering, my teeth clattering like a maraca. School was just as boring as ever, going from calculus to demon demonolgy - which is a class that teaches you how to treat a demon and punishments for humans who have an intimate relationship with a demon.
I've been having a bad feeling all day, so all I wanted was to go home and make sure that Bank and Ma are okay. After all they are all the family I have left. White specs soon filled my vision and I stopped for a minute to admire all the snowflakes that were descending from the sky.
"Well lookie here."
I groaned, knowing whose annoying voice that was. But I kept walking, and picked up the pace while I was at it. But in a flash five demons were in front of me, all lead by the oh so confident Koga.
I had no patience for this, so maybe reason might work? "Look Koga-san, I don't want any trouble and frankly I don't have the time. Excuse me." I spat, I hated using formality with demons but hey, why would I die for this asshole?
Koga began to laugh along with all his other friends. The back of my neck began to heat up and I looked at the ground. 'No Rin! You can't let him make a victim out of you!' I quickly looked up, staring at him right in the eye.
Don't ever make eye contact with a demon, demons take that as a challenge.
I knew that, it was the number one rule in demonology class. But right now I didn't give a single fuck, because you know what? This has gone for long enough. Koga growled and the group backed up, leaving Koga and I in a face off.
"You gotta' lot of nerve looking at me right in the eye human." Koga bellowed, I might have looked brave. But my legs felt like jello and I had shoved my hands in my pockets to hide their insistent shaking.
"I just want to get home." I replied before walking around him and his entire group. I didn't have to look back to know that their jaws were probably on the ground. It was unheard of a human to challenge then simply ignore a demon like that, but this was getting really tiring.
I felt someone shove me to the ground and my body fell with a thud. I groaned, my head began to throb and I felt something wet trickle from my nose. Hands grabbed my collar and lifted me up high, I felt my feet dangle in the air and I was looking right at Koga's angry face.
"You think you're gonna get away with that shit?" Koga snorted, my body froze in terror. "You got a lot of nerve, I never thought you, of all humans would stand up to me." He pulled his fist back and it connected with my stomach.
I cried out and felt my stomach curl in pain. I felt whatever food I had eaten this morning come up my throat. "Oh dude she looks sick." A guy joked, but Koga didn't look done. He dropped me back onto the ground and I curled up into a little ball to brace for the fall.
"Dumb bitch!" Koga growled and he kicked my face, it hit me right under the eye. White invaded my vision and I felt more and more jabs. I curled up, putting my head in-between my knees and just waited for it to be over. But the hits kept getting harder and harder, and I began to cry.
I wanted to use my powers, my instincts were screaming at me to. But I knew I couldn't, it would endanger my family, my future. I felt light headed so I guess I was going to pass out, thank kami for that.
"Let's teach this bitch what happens when whores mess with us." I flung my eyes open and screamed when they picked me up and dragged me into the Wacdonalds alleyway. Already some of his crew took out their phones and began to giggle around me.
They forced my legs open and held my arms above me. "Stop! Koga this is getting to far!" I shrieked but that only earned a slap. My eyes widened as the hit had numbed that side of my face.
"Take off her pants, lets see what this slut has to offer." Koga snapped and his goons began to unbutton my pants. "No! Get off!" I kicked one in the face and he yelped, but Koga just punched me in the chest. I felt breathless, the hit leaving me winded. I felt my pants begin to slip off, the camera was rolling and they had it pointed to my face.
"Get off me...please." I wheezed, still trying to regain my breath. But they only laughed and continued to observe my now bare legs. I whimpered as I felt hands slap and pinch my thighs. This feels disgusting...kami please make them stop.
"Panties are next and I think I should do the honors." Koga smirked and squatted down before me. I began to thrash around, trying to stop this from happening but I knew I was powerless - that is if I didn't use them.
Koga gripped the waistband; "Get off of me!" I shrieked, power surged through my fingertips burning the guys holding my wrists. They cried out and fell to the ground in agony. The other wolves backed away and Koga pulled out a blade.
He swung it at my neck and my eyes widened. I held my hand up in front of me and a bright purple light flashed in front of me. In an instant I heard screams, the light faded away and was replaced with Koga's group scrambling away from me. I looked down and noticed a pile of ash- a blade sticking out of it.
Fear overcame me and I covered my hands over my mouth to stop the scream from coming out. I just used my powers - in front of demons! I looked back at their goons and saw them on the phone, I know that they were already calling the authorities. "Ma and Bank!" I quickly slipped on my jeans and began to run, faster than I had to make it back home before the authorities did.
I arrived after a couple of minutes breathless, my legs were burning and my breaths were unstable but I didn't care. I jogged up the steps and ran into the house, not even bothering to take off my shoes.
But I froze, in the living room were was a demon police officer standing before me. The house was trashed, holes in the walls and papers and books were scattered all over the ground. The officer had Bank on his knees, his face black and blue and Ma was sobbing.
The officer turned to me, and I immediately recognized him. "Officer Ookami." I murmured. It was Koga's father...and I could tell by his growls that he knew what had happened to Koga.
"Get on the fucking ground human." He hissed and I clenched my fists. "W-What?" I didn't know what to say, maybe there was a chance he didn't know!? But then why else was he be here?
I didn't have time to think when Ookami lunged at me, my heart skipped a beat and I held my hands out in front of me. "Stop it please!" A purple barrier formed around me and Ookami yelped as his skin got burned by it.
He held his badly charred arm and stood up before me. "You're a Miko!" He accused and I began to shake my head. Fear coursed through my body but I brought the barrier down and held my hands in front of me.
"Officer please don't tell anyone please!" I choked out, Bank looked just as shocked and angry at the same time while Ma just looked at me in disbelief. I could already hear their questions, imagined how fearful their voices would be.
Officer Ookami lunged at me again, this time I barely had enough time to dodge so my body slammed onto the wall. He was seething with anger, growling violently and I was terrified to see this side of a demon officer. He approached me, my vision was beginning to darken but my instincts were once again screaming at me to get up and fight.
I can't. I don't want to hurt anymore people. His claws dug into my shoulder and it felt like a hot knife being stabbed into my skin. I screamed in agony and automatically my hand grabbed his forearm. I shut my eyes and in a flash of purple he was gone, leaving a pile of ashes before me.
I grabbed my wound and just stared at the wall. My life was over, I already killed two demons with my powers in the past few hours and I could feel my mentality breaking. Bank walked up to me and tore a piece of his shirt, but I didn't react.
"Rin..." He began to wrap my arm, but I could feel how his hands trembled. My heart shattered in a million pieces, He's afraid of me... He remained silent, but I knew just how terrified he was.
Bank tightened the bandage, I knew by now I should have flinched and squeaked at the feeling but I was numb from my toes and up.
"Come on, let's sit down." Bank hauled me up to my feet and dragged me to the living room. I didn't want to talk, I didn't want to react or anything. I wanted to disappear into the shadows, how could I have been so stupid to use my powers!?
By the time I escaped my overwhelming thoughts Ma and Bank were sitting across from me. Ma's eyes were red and swollen with tears while Bank had just bandaged his forearm. "How long?" My mother croaked.
I couldn't look at her, so instead I looked at my feet. I'm so pathetic, I can't even look at my own Ma for Kami's sake! The words filled my mouth but they wouldn't escape my lips, I didn't know how to start or where to start.
"Ever since I was eight." I finally replied and I heard mother gasp and let out a sob. By now I just wanted to melt onto the ground and never hear of this again. My shoulder began to throb and I let out a groan.
I sighed and shook my head, I finally looked up and saw the fear in their eyes. Of course they were terrified, why should I be surprised? Anyone who associated with a Miko is to die beside her. My throat went dry and finally I was hit with reason.
I stood up quickly, running over to Bank and Ma. "We have to get out of here! We can't stay here!" I yelled. But they just sat there, like their feet were glued to the ground. I shook my head and ran to my room, pulling out an old suitcase and began to fill it with my necessities.
My hands were shaking so bad that when I picked up a necklace my father had given me it slipped out of my hands and clattered onto the ground. I just stared at it, what was I thinking? Did I really think I can escape my fate?
I sobbed, collapsing onto the ground. Too much had happened today, and now I expected to lead my family to safety? But where? Where would we live? The tears rolled down my sore cheeks and I could finally feel how my bones ached and the pain in my shoulder was unbearable.
"Suck it up." I chastised, my breath was shaking but I got up and managed to pack up the rest of my things (I didn't have many to begin with) and locked the suitcase. I turned around and opened the door.
I looked up, the moment I did I wish I hadn't.
Police cars surrounded the cabin and about ten were inside the cabin with Bank and Ma in custody. I was speechless, I knew for a fact I couldn't take on more than two.
"Rin, come quietly with your hands in the air." The officer commanded, immediately guns were pointed at me. Bank and Ma looked at me, tears were flowing from Ma's eyes and Bank refused to look at me.
Handcuffs slapped my wrists and I was yanked away. My eyes never left theirs as I was being pulled away farther and farther from them. They blindfolded me and shoved me into what felt like a van.
"Where am I going?" I whimpered, but my only answer was the sound of two heavy doors being shut and the start of an engine. Bank, Ma, what's going to happen to them? I leaned onto what felt like a wall and closed my eyes.
'What have I done?'
Was this rushed? I feel like it was...hmmm.
