Chapter 6

RECAP-

There was something about that demon she met that seemed familiar. That day she saw him... and his voice...

A sudden bolt of electricity shot out of nowhere and smacked her at the back of her head. Realization dawned on her (it seems like I've written this part before). Of course! The newspaper, the radio, those brochures that the orphanage's care-taker passed out!

Richiru lifted up her pillow and tore it out from underneath the soft object. The brochure to that school... he had been giving her clues this whole time, and she acted blind towards them.

"Johann V. Faust..." Richiru murmured, staring down at the brochure in her hands curiously. "Johann..." She rolled the name around on her tongue. Didn't exactly sound like this was the guy she was looking for.

If she had the chance to change her life, she would...

And then if this demon (as she thought her theory went,) really wanted to trick her, he would hide it in a place she least expected it to be. The last place she would look would be a school.

Since Richiru had always been afraid of crowded places, she never became accustomed to them.

So... if she wanted to get the last piece of paper, she had to go to this school. She shrugged. Couldn't be too hard, right?

PRESENT-

Richiru stood there, gawking at the gigantic building. It was huge, and tall. And huge... and tall...

A soft breeze passed by, continuing to increase the growing knot of panic in her stomach. Actually, it wasn't just a big building. It was a bunch of big buildings, piling up and upon eachother like Legos.

Shaped like a hill.

Which stood out in front of her like a dark, giant monster with glowing, red eyes...

Snap out of it, Richu-chan! You're going to be late for your class! Goodness, you sign up for this, get in through the entrance exam with approval from your former teachers, and then you are going to miss your first day of class? Dear, dear me. This isn't good, not good, not good, not good...

The 16-year-old zoned out after a while, ignoring everything that her ghost friend was saying. Even though Leafy was a really great friend at times, he would become very talkative when something important were about to happen.

Let's just say that he was like a sort of... ehh, "talkometer. "

Whenever the "nervous" level increases, so does the amount he talks. Although this was just something that Richiru made up in her mind, she still considered it as a theory. What? Can't help the young imagination from wandering too much.

She eventually began to walk towards the door, a guard near the front giving her a friendly look. Although she felt hesitant about entering the massive school, she knew that Leafy was right. She had to get in- on time of course. So she did, or tried. Once she took a step on the stairs leading to the entrance, there was an ear-piercing screech.

The scream ended as soon as it started.

Richiru then felt as though she were being watched. She looked frantically towards the guards station, but the guard wasn't there.

He must've gone in when she wasn't looking...

NOT GOOD.

She screamed, shooting across the front lawn of the school and bursting through the doors. At this point she didn't care what was following her, she just wanted to GET INSIDE. Dashing towards an elevator she spotted not too far away, she darted inside and pushed the highest button. The button turned red and vibrated.

Suddenly the elevator said, "Please choose another below 20. Students are not allowed to go any higher. You had chosen Floor 22."

Richiru groaned and pushed the button with a 5. Surely that would take her somewhere. The doors closed with a painstakingly slow motion. Eventually, they shut, allowing her to let out a breath that had been held longer than normal.

Well, atleast she was getting somewhere now...

But wait.

Where was...

"LEAF-KUUUNNNN!" Richiru shireked. She must have left him outside when she flew in. "Nonononononononooo!" Richiru then began to stab at the button with a "G" on it (stands for "ground floor"), wailing all the way in the opposite direction.

This day wasn't exactly going as planned... at all.

…

Ohhh naoooooo! Leafy-kun has been left behind! He's not exactly what you would call "fast." =_='

And then he barely even pays enough attention to his surroundings... sad. I know. TT_TT And what was that mystery scream? O_o Nah, you'll find out later uO

Leafy y u no pay attension? (I meant to spell it that way ^.^) I'll probably update again today, so try to check back!

:)

Thx for the reviews lovely readers!
