Osana asked Ayano out on a date the other day and to her surprise she actually said yes. She had to resist the urge to jump up and down in excitement. Osana was now heading over towards Osana's house.
To say that Osana was nervous would be an understatement. She felt like her face going bright red as she stands in front of Ayano's door. She rang the doorbell. While she waited for Ayano to answer the door she looked at herself to see if she looked presentable.
Osana was wearing a pink sleeveless tank top and under the tank top was a black shirt with sleeves but the her bare shoulders were visible. She was wearing blue jean short shorts. She was wearing long socks that went up to her thighs. The socks had red and white stripes on them. Her hair was not in its usual twin tail style instead it was in a low ponytail and it was hanging over her right shoulder. What was holding the ponytail in place was a pink scrunchie. She was also wearing a headband with a white cat that was smiling on one end of the headband. She was wearing a pink choker. She also wearing red Mary Jane shoes.
Osana heard the door open and looked to see that it was Ayano. She looked the clothes that Ayano was wearing. She was wearing a white sleeveless tank top that showed her belly and she was wearing a black skirt. She was wearing black socks that went up to her thighs. She was also wearing black Mary Jane shoes. Her hair was also in a high ponytail.
For the past couple of months before they even met Ayano made the decision to let her hair grow out so she could attract Taro's attention. But since she was now attracted to Osana she was about to have her hair cut but Osana said that she liked Ayano's hair the way it was.
Osana was blushing at Ayano's appearance. Ayano looked adorable in the outfit that she was wearing. She also noticed that Ayano's face was just as red as hers and that made her look even cuter.
"Hi Osana, are you ready?" Ayano asked
"O-of course! I'm always ready" Osana said
The first place they decided to go to was an ice cream place. Osana ordered strawberry flavored ice cream while Ayano ordered chocolate flavored ice cream. Both girls ordered their favorite flavor of ice cream. While they were eating their ice cream Osana noticed that Ayano had a troubled look on her face.
"What's Ayano?" Osana asked
Ayano looked up and tried to hide the troubled look but it was too late because Osana already saw that trouble look on her face.
"It's n-nothing" Ayano said
"Come on I know something's bothering you. Just tell me so you can get off your mind. It's not like I'm worried about you or anything I just don't want you to be distracted during our date, that's all" Osana said
Ayano already knew that Osana wanted to help her. So she decided to tell her what has been bothering her ever since Osana had asked her out.
"I'm afraid" Ayano said
"What are you afraid of?" Osana asked
"I'm afraid of Aino" Ayano said
Osana remembered Aino very well. The demon that used to be inside Ayano was now in the real world and the fact that the demon looks exactly like Ayano made thing even worse. Ayano would take the blame for any bad deeds that Aino would do since the two of them looked exactly alike. Osana was actually able to tell the two of them apart because Ayano's hair was a little longer than Aino's hair. Ayano's hair also had more shine while Aino's hair looked dull. Everyone unfortunately couldn't tell the two of them apart.
Ayano asked Osana to come with her to meet Taro because she was afraid that she wouldn't have the courage to talk to him without her. Osana was confused but she agreed to Ayano's request. They met up with Taro and Ayano confessed what she almost did to the other students. Taro almost left in anger but Osana stopped him and explained to him what was going on with her. Taro was shocked to hear that but he accepted Ayano for the way she was now. Now the only people who could tell both Ayano and Aino apart was Taro and Osana.
"Don't worry about Aino" Osana said
"I can't help but think about her. I'm afraid that she'll be out to try and kill me. If I'm dead then she can have Taro-senpai all to herself" Ayano said
"Ayano listen to me" Osana said
Ayano looked at Osana and listened to what she had to say.
"Do you still care about Taro?" Osana said
"Yes, I do but not in the same way like I did before" Ayano said
"Well, it's our jobs as his friends to protect him from that demon. As long as we're around that demon won't stand a chance" Osana said
Ayano started to believe that Osana was right.
"Y-you're right, thanks Osana I feel better now" Ayano said
Osana blushed and tried to tell the reason why she tried to put her at ease.
"I only did for my sake" Osana said
Ayano just smiled. She knew that Osana really did it for her and not for herself.
The girls spent some time in the mall looking at swimsuits and other clothes. They decided to end the day with a dinner at a restaurant. Osana noticed that Ayano once again looked troubled and just like she did earlier today she was willing to listen to her troubles.
"What wrong this time Ayano?" Osana said
Ayano looked at Osana and she knew that hiding anything from her was pointless.
"Well, it's my mom" Ayano said
"Your mom?" Osana asked
"I recently overheard a conversation that she had with my dad the other day" Ayano said
{Flashback}
Ayano was headed towards the kitchen to make something to eat when she heard her mom and dad having a conversation in the kitchen.
"Ayano's been acting different lately, have you noticed that darling?" Mom asked
"I have and I'm glad. She actually looks happy. Although she's shy but she looks happy. She's been pretending to be happy most of her life" Dad said
Ayano was shocked when she heard what her dad just said. She thought that she fooled him with her acting but somehow he knew that she had been pretending the entire time.
"Well I wondered what happened to the demon that was inside of her" Mom said
Ayano couldn't believe what she heard. Her mother knew that a demon had been inside of her the entire time. Ayano felt hurt that her parents would hide something like this from her.
"I'm glad the demon is gone. Now Ayano can live a normal happy life now" Dad said
"Don't say that darling. Don't you think she was better off with the demon inside of her?" Mom asked
"No, not at all" Dad answered
"Well that's too bad" Mom said
"Why is that?" Dad said
"Well I was in the occult club and I learned about demons and I made the decision to have one possess me. It was the best thing that ever happened to me and then I had the demon go inside of Ayano" Mom said
Ayano's eyes went wide when she heard what her mother had just revealed. So it was because of her that she didn't have any emotions at all when she was a kid.
"And I wanted the demon to extracted but you were against and you threatened to not only end my life but your life as well and I had no choice but to agree to let Ayano to remain the way she was" Dad said
"The demon actually contacted me and told me that she had been forced out of Ayano's body and now she goes by the name Aino" Mom said
"That's why I'm so relieved" Dad said
{End of flashback}
When Ayano was done explaining the situation Osana wasn't able to utter a single word. She was shocked beyond belief that a mother would do that to her own daughter. Osana wanted to give that woman a piece of her mind but she knew that if she did that then she would die since that woman was the grown up version of Ayano's dark side.
"Ayano, maybe it would better of you moved in with me" Osana said
"You think so?" Ayano asked
"Think about it. She might try to have another demon possess and personally I prefer the way you are right now" Osana said
"Maybe you're right, thanks for inviting me to stay with you" Ayano said
"It's not like I did it because I'm worried about you or anything" Osana said
The two girls were sharing a plate of spaghetti and somehow the two of them were sucking in the same pasta string and they ended up kissing each other. The both of them separated from each other and blushed. Both girls went back to Osana's place went to sleep.
