"The True Cross Acdemy are having their wonderful festival that is held every year. But this year is different from the rest. This year, there is love between two students and amazing manga are going to be shown everywhere in this story as it's growing deeper and deeper!" Mephisto said with his fist in the air.
"Stop thinking about manga and stick to the point!" Luka hit him on the head with a newspaper roll.
"Ow!" Mephisto said as he cryed.
"Let's get to story already." Luka said to him.
Rin picked up the boxes and put them on the table.
"Alright, the boxes for the haunted house! Awesome!" Shima opened the box and took out the halloween stuff.
"I think we need more." Konekomaru said, they all looked at Rin.
"Why do I have to get them?"
"You're the one that doesn't have to do anything right now." Bon told him.
"And you know where they are." Rin gave a annoyed look.
"Go on. Go get the rest of the stuff." Shura said to Rin, he gave a sigh and walked out of the room.
Why does everyone think that I have time to do this stuff for them? I'm busy with something else, like...
Rin touched his pocket, he felt the piece of paper in it.
"I have to stop thinking about that and think about the haunted house." Rin walked past the class that Shiemi was in.
He heard Akari's singing voice in his head and stopped walking, he reamebered her a few days ago.
Ever since I first watched Akari singing, I've been wanting to hear it again. But I don't have time to be with her lately.
Sheimi saw Rin in front of the door.
"Rin!" He looked at her.
"Sheimi, I wasn't-"
"Come in!" Sheimi pulled him inside and stood.
Rin saw Akari putting up the decorations.
"What am I supposed to be looking at?" Rin whispered.
"SH! Just watch!" Sheimi whispered to Rin.
He stared at her and heard her humming then he heard words coming out of her mouth.
"She's being humming for the past hour. Doesn't her voice sound amazing?" Rin gave a smile at her.
Akari, I finally got to heard your voice again. I'm happy.
"What are you doing in here Okumura? Aren't you supposed to be in your class, getting ready for the festival?" Rin turned around and saw Luka with dark force around her.
"I was...um...looking around." Akari stopped singing and saw Rin.
"Isn't that Okumura Rin? The half demon?" One of the girls said.
"Yeah, he's a stupid guy. Always goofing off and doesn't do his work." Another girl said to the other girl.
"Yeah, if he wants to defeat Satan, he needs to stop goofing off and work." A girl said to the two.
"How do you even think that he is going to defeat Satan? He's weak and stupid like his dad." One of the girls laughed as she ended the sentence.
Akari walked in front of the girl and slapped her in the face.
Rin and everyone else looked at them.
The 3 girls gave a loud gasp as the girl was red on the cheek from the slap. Akari had a dark look on her face.
"Don't ever talk like that to someone you don't even know." Akari said to them.
"Who do you think you talking to? You are just a stupid girl that doesn't have a family or even a mom! Your family died before you were even born! Why do you even care, you are just a demon like him!"
The girl was going to slap her but Rin grabbed her wrist.
Akari's face was still down.
"Akari, are you okay?" He asked her behind him.
Akari's hand was turned into a fist and she ran out the door.
"Akari!" Sheimi yelled at her as she ran out the door.
Rin stared at her.
Akari.
"Akari? Where did she go?" Rin looked around the hallway, he looked in rooms and didn't find her.
Akari, where are you?
He heard a soft meow. He turned around and saw a dog that looked like a cat.
"Hey little guy, what are you doing in a school like this?" Rin petted the dog.
"Meow." The dog said to Rin.
This dog sounds like a cat, what the heck?
The dog walked to the end of the hallway and looked back at Rin.
"You want me to follow you?" The dog gave a nod and took a left. "Hey!"
Rin turned and saw the dog walk into a room, Rin looked at the sign.
'Video Room'
The video room?
Rin opened the door.
"Hello?" Rin looked around the room, filled with the setting sun's color. He heard a soft sniff at the left of the room.
He looked at each aisle of video tapes and saw a girl's shadow.
Akari.
He walked to the last aisle and saw Akari with her head on her knees.
"Akari?" She didn't say anything, only made her arms tighter around her legs.
He sighed at her.
He sat next to her and stared at the window, the bright orange, red and yellow color.
"Why did you slap that girl? She was just talking bad about me, you didn't have to do that." Akari made her hands turn into fists.
"I had to do something, I didn't want anyone to make fun of you cause you want to defeat Satan or if you were half demon. I hated that about people, they call you names and hurt you from the inside. I always hated that." Akari put her hands on her ears.
Rin stared at her, he saw a tear fall down her cheek.
Akari...is crying?
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Rin slid next to her.
"Don't say that." He told her as he stared at her.
"Say what?"
"Say you're sorry, it's wasn't your fault from the beginning. I'm me and I want to be this person, for you. I want to be happy for you and I also want you to be happy too." Akari's eyes were wide.
She looked up and looked at Rin.
"You want me to be happy?" He gave a nod to her.
"I also want to hear you sing again." She gave a small chuckle.
"Okay, I'll do that sometime." Rin stared at her hand, he reached for it.
Wanting to hold it.
"GUYS!" Rin and Akari jumped, they looked at the door.
Everyone was looking in the room.
"You guys in here?" Bon said.
"Yeah! We're here!" Rin stood up and looked at Akari, she stood up and walked to the door.
"Do you even know how long you've been gone?" Shima gave a look at them.
"No." Shima gave a grin.
"Did you do it?" He whispered in his ear.
"NO!" Rin blushed red on his face.
Akari felt the pain in her chest again.
Why won't this go away?
A few mintues later
"See you guys later!" Rin said to everyone else.
"See you tomorrow at the festival!" Rin and Akari walked alone on the sidewalk.
They were silence for a moment.
Only the sound of Akari's shoes clicking on the pavement and Rin's.
Should I say something?
Rin reamebered the wanting of holding Akari's hand.
I want to hold it, but what if...she doesn't want to?
He walked behind her, she was holding her bag with both of her hands.
I have to. I like her, it should be normal for boyfriend and girlfriends to hold hands. Right?
He stared at her hands.
Here I go.
Rin walked beside her and held her hand.
Akari's heart started to beat a little faster, she stopped walking.
He looked at her.
"Akari?"
Crap! What did I do?
Akari stared at the pavement, her head was down.
He's holding my hand. What do I do? This is the first time that any guy's has ever done with me.
Rin looked at her, he was bend down on the pavement. Looking up at Akari.
"Are you okay?"
Akari looked at him.
"Why aren't you holding my hand?" Rin's eyes widen. "Don't you want to hold hands?"
"Oh no! I want to!" Rin stood up. "It's just I-I thought something was wrong and I had to make sure that you were okay!"
Akari gave a small smile.
She looked up at him, she opened her hand.
He stared at it.
He held it and walked beside her the whole way home.
In Mephisto's office
Luka threw a vase at Mephisto.
He was in the air, he dodge the vase and it hit the wall.
"You son of a-"
"Now, now. We don't need that language do we?" Mephisto said to Luka.
"Why did you make them be in the same class?"
"Cause, I want them to be closer to each other."
"Do you know how much you are going to pay for this? The council wouldn't let you live for this. They have made plans for the day since she was born! And you are ruining it!" Mephisto gave a grin.
"It's not just me ruining this." Luka gave a look at him.
The door behind her opened and heels clicked on the floor.
"No, not you." Marie stood in the room. "Why?"
"I had to. If I didn't, I wouldn't know how...how she died." Luka gave her a look.
"Is that all you wanted? To know how she died?!" She yelled at her.
"We need to know how she died! For Akari's sake!"
"But how is bring Rin and Akari together part of knowing how she died?"
Marie was silence.
"Tell me!" Luka yelled at her.
"If they didn't fall in love with each other, then she wouldn't tell Akari where it is hidden." Mephisto told her, he was standing on the floor.
Luka looked at him.
"No one has ever found that thing for years now. And no one will ever find it!"
"Are you trying to stop us? I thought you wanted Akari to be happy?" Luka's eyes turned bright green.
"I AM DOING WHAT MY MASTER IS TELLING ME TO DO!" Luka threw her hand at him, a black shadow figure came out of her body and went after him.
Amaimon's familiar ate the figure and went after Luka.
"Behemoth!" The demon fell to the floor. "Don't eat her, she's still my bride even through she tried to kill brother." Anaimon sat on the desk, crescross.
Luka's eyes glowed bright green as she took deep breathes.
"Your eyes are green, like your family of demons." Luka gave a growl and left the room, she slam the door loud.
"I'll talk to her brother." Amaimon walked to the door.
"Please do that young brother." Mephisto told him, after he left. He looked at Marie. "How unfortunate that you had to see dear Luka tried to kill me. And yelled at me."
Marie looked at him.
"It's fine. How are we going to make them more together now?" Mephisto sighed and stood in front of the window.
"We have to do things at the upcoming festival tomorrow."
"What do you mean?" Mephisto gave a grin.
"We have to make them be together and fall more in love than ever before."
