''okay, listen…'' I sat in front of Leorio, trying to explain my situation to him clearly, without him getting confused…
This was proving a difficult task of its own….
I had tried to lie…saying that I was German or something….but every time I did he'd say I was a liar and shove me into something…
Once I had had enough of the bruising, I'd decided to have this talk with him…
''As you thought…I… I am a Kuruta….'' I said, my head down, so I wouldn't see the triumph in his eyes.
''I knew it!'' he boasted, throwing his arms up in the air.
''B-but…you can't tell anyone…'' you would think this was obvious…
''Why?''
I guess not everyone is gifted with the power of common sense…
''you can't tell anyone because then people would know, and I would become a walking target…'' this caused him to make an even more confused expression than that which was already plastered on his face…
''A walking target…oooh…because of the whole demon thing huh?'' he smiled in a fashion that made me shutter with agitation.
''Precisely…do you understand?'' I asked, my voice faltering as I witnessed his focus draining by the second…
''Do you understand!'' I said sternly, drawing his attention.
''Y-yeah…but, how did you escape?'' he asked, curiously.
''The theory that all Kuruta were wiped out is false…just a great deal of them ….'' I explained.
''Some lived in the village all together and vulnerable…and then some were more cautious… they live around other 'normal' people…'' I made quotations with my hands as I said 'normal'.
''People like you, and your family…'' he stated.
Finally…we were getting somewhere.
''Yes, my mother, father, uncle, and I have always lived as though we didn't share the qualities of the Kuruta…it's safer this way….except…''
''If you get mad…right?'' he asked, I nodded in response.
''If we are angered, we must almost instantly retain the feeling…though sometimes the color still comes out…'' I looked down at the comforter of Leorio's bed.
''Okay, so I have to keep your secret right? Or you'll be harassed, or something like that?'' he said, a small grin creeping onto his face.
''Yes…'' I replied quietly, waiting for his response.
''alright…'' he said grabbing one of my shoulders.
''on one condition…''
Oh boy…
….
The next day I walked into the classroom with a pile of books in my arms.
''Do you actually need this?'' I asked, handing Leorio an encyclopedia.
''Of coarse! I like to know what I'm talking about.''
''Right…of coarse…I apologize…'' I dropped the books on the table, slumping into my chair.
This was going to be a long day….
