~~~Kiame P.O.V.~~~

I let out a long sigh as I looked around my apartment, not knowing where I had placed it. I could have sworn that I had it earlier… I let out another sigh as my mom always kept me updated on things and she always loved to call every day to check in on me. She was always worried about me and though I appreciated her worry, she didn't need to call every day to check in.

I glanced around the countertop again before I let out a long sigh, not seeing my phone there either. I turned back to the main room of the apartment as I rubbed the back of my head. "Did I leave it at the shrine..?" I bit my lip and was about to head for the door to look for it before a light thump drew my attention back to the counter top.

Sitting there, looking like there was a bit of drool of some kind on it, was my phone. I glanced around, wondering where on earth it had come from, because I knew for a fact that it had not been there before when I was looking a few moments ago. "How on earth..? Well… I guess I don't need to worry about where it is anymore…"

I picked it up and began wiping it down with rubbing alcohol and paper towels, trying to clean off the drool, or whatever it was. As I was cleaning my phone, there was a light knock on the apartment door, and I raised an eyebrow. I wasn't expecting any kind of company today besides Headmaster Mephisto, and I already spoke to him.

I set my phone down before walking over and unlocking the door only to be greeted by the sight of a guy who looked around my age standing there. He wore strange clothing and he had deep bags under his eyes, showing that he seemed rather exhausted. His hair was pointed slightly at the top and it was a gradient of green and his eyes were a piercing blue.

The most interesting feature about him, however, would have to be his pointed ears. They were almost elf like and I found them to be rather interesting as it was not normal for someone to have pointed ears like that. He was crunching on a lollypop and honestly seemed to be rather bored as he stared at me unblinkingly.

"Erm… can I help you?" I asked lightly, trying my best to make my voice sound natural as I spoke to him, seeing as Japanese was not my first language. "Nope." I was surprised by his frank answer as he continued to stand there, his head tilting slightly to the side. "Do you… need something from me?" I asked, trying to figure out just who this guy was.

He blinked boredly at me and titled his head, letting out a light hum. "More sweets." I was surprised by his frank behavior before I saw a familiar face walking up behind him. It was Mephisto and he seemed to be chuckling to himself as he regarded the greenette who still looked at me with a blank expression. "Sorry about my brother, Amaimon~ he is like a hound with his sense of smell~"

I blinked and looked at the man in a confused way before I stepped to the side, "Come in, please." I asked softly, letting them walk in to my apartment. "This place is small." Amaimon hissed softly, looking very bored as Mephisto let out a soft laugh. "There is no need to be so rude and frank, Amaimon~" He just huffed and looked around as I walked over to my kitchen to grab a few of the extra sweets.

I had wanted to eat them during the week, but that would be rude in a sense to tell them no, and I was trying to get into the Headmaster's good graces… I brought the sweets back out and set them in front of Amaimon and the headmaster. "Here… help yourselves." Amaimon began eating what I set in front of him and I could have sworn that he paused to take a deep breath every now and again.

Mephisto, however, did not seem to have much of an interest in the sweets that I had offered to him, but instead seemed to be more interested in his brother and what he was doing. The entire exchange so far had been strange and rather interesting because I had no idea what to do in a situation like this or even how to properly act.

"You just moved in, didn't you?" Amaimon suddenly asked. I was surprised by his words but I composed myself quickly and nodded. "Yes, I just moved in a few days ago. How could you tell?" He took another deep breath and glanced around. "Your scent isn't everywhere like it would be if you have lived here for a while… your scent is only in certain places."

I could feel my eyebrows raising when he said this and Mephisto seemed to notice my shock before he changed the direction of the conversation, as if trying to distract me from Amaimon's strange behavior. "So Ms. Kiame, I know you are not religious, but do you believe in the potential existence of Demons?" It took me a moment to process his question as I was still surprised by Amaimon's words.

"I don't know to be honest. I find the idea of them interesting… but I don't fully believe they exist and I don't fully believe they don't exist. Even if I were to see a supposed 'demon' in front of me, I wouldn't know if I would even believe that it was actually there or if I was just losing my mind. The concept of them is interesting though."

Mephisto nodded and it seemed like Amaimon took an interest in the conversation, as he was just sitting with food hanging out of his mouth instead of actually eating it. "So, let's say demons did exist. What would you think if a human and a demon were involved with each other in a more… intimate… relationship?"

I almost let out a laugh at the idea, finding it to be strange that the HEADMASTER of the school I would be attending would ask me such a question. "Well, demons, as humans know them, are notorious for manipulating the emotions of humans and leading them on. I would say the human is an idiot for getting involved in such a relationship…

"But if the relationship was not like that, and it was a mutual affection between the two, I would see no problem with it. Hell, people like what they like and I have no say in that. It is their choice, not mine." I shook my head with a small smile before glancing back at Mephisto. "Why the sudden questions anyway? I assume this is not a typical conversation with a student."

He grinned at this and shook his head, leaning back slightly in his chair. "It is not a typical conversation, that is true. But, I am here as a guest, so I would not think that the fact I am your headmaster would apply to any conversation we have presently." I nodded and let out a small sigh, listening to my stomach growl at me quietly.

"I guess that makes sense." My stomach continued to gently grumble and it seemed like Amaimon was now fixated on the sound coming from it as he sat forward, his head tilting to the side. I was about to ask him why he was so interested in the sound of my stomach growling before he suddenly moved from his chair, pressing his pointed ear against my stomach and listening.

"W-what are you doing?" I asked, feeling shock run through me as my nerves practically sizzled and popped in my brain. Mephisto stood up and pulled his brother away from my stomach, making the younger let out an unhappy whine. "It seems we have over stayed our welcome, I will see you on the first day of school, Ms. Kiame."

With that, he pulled his brother out of my apartment and closed the door behind him, leaving me shocked at the strange interaction that I just had with the two brothers. Perhaps Amaimon did not have very good social skills and that is why he acted the way he did… or perhaps his behavior was just something that was normal and I was the one who didn't understand. In any case, it was all odd.

~~~Mephisto P.O.V.~~~

I dragged Amaimon out of the sigh of anyone who may be passing on the street and into the limo I had arrived in. The ride back was quiet and it seemed like Amaimon was miles away even as I herded him to my office. When we got there he took his perch on one of the chairs and stared out the window blankly as I removed my hat and coat, putting them up.

"Amaimon, if you cannot act like a human around humans, I will have to forbid you from being around them." He frowned deeply at this and began gnawing at his nail, showing he was agitated. "You do not usually act this way in public, Amaimon. Perhaps you are behaving this way because of that human woman, Kiame?"

At the mentioning of her name, Amaimon stopped gnawing at his nail, his eyes focusing somewhere far off. "Ah, so it is because of her." I let out a soft chuckle, keeping an eye on his behavior as I chose my next words. "Perhaps I should get rid of her so she is no longer a distraction to you." At this Amaimon let out a deep snarl and bore his teeth at me.

Amaimon knew better than to challenge me but it seemed like his common sense was no longer present as he growled at me. "Don't touch her!" I chuckled in sheer amusement at his behavior before I laced my fingers together. "Dear, dear Amaimon, could it be you have found your mate?" Amaimon seemed to reel back at this, his eyes widening slightly.

"My mate?" I nodded and sat down to begin working on the paperwork that had been stacked upon my desk. "You are agitated because of her. You adore her scent after only being around her for a small amount of time. You clearly have some kind of attraction towards her and it is clear that you have an interest in her and what she does as well as her safety. I would say you found your mate."

Amaimon frowned deeply and titled his head before he began chewing at his nail again as he began musing to himself. "A mate..? My mate..? My mate… mine… only mine…" It was clear that he was getting used to the idea of having a mate and I was rather interested in seeing how things would work out for him as his mate didn't even have a tempaint yet.

She had no idea what demons were like and what they were and it was clear that she didn't seem like the kind who would fall for a demon. But, if she is Amaimon's mate, she will fall for him eventually regardless of if she wants to or not. That is just how it works. Now it was only a matter of keeping Amaimon under control and introducing little Kiame to her new life as the mate of a demon king.

What an amusing turn of events.
