Chapter 19 is up! Hope you all like it. :D

Jai. His name is Jai.

The guy that gave me that rose at that department store...Yeah. His name's Jai. I like him. He seems cool. I like his attitude and style. Dark brown hair with bangs that cover his right eye. Light gray eyes, which by the way look awesome and an amazing smile.

I met him at the department store while wandering around and I accidently bumped into him and then we just started talking and hanging out. He bought me this beautiful red rose before I left... So awesome.

There's just one thing off about him. I don't know what it is but it's something... I wonder if I'll ever see him again...?

Anyways, the next day I woke up really tired and lazy. I had put the rose in a vase full of water and set the vase on my table close to my bed. Everything's going crazy... Sebastian still hasn't come back from where it was that he went to and I'm really worried. I've tried calling him and my mom but no one answers.

I got dressed up and walked down to the kitchen where Sebastian M. was making breakfast. "Good morning, Akari." he greeted me.

"Morning." I said and sat down on a stool and layed my head on the counter.

"Tired?" he asked.

"Yup." I responded. He set down a plate with bacon and eggs. ( I told Sebastian M. to make me this or something else just for me. I'm more American than Japanese, food-wise.) I started eating. Man, it was amazing. This guy can sure cook! "Sebastian, do you think something bad might have happened to my mom and Sebastian?" I asked.

"Don't worry. They're fine." was all Sebastian M. said and left out of the kitchen. I sighed and went into the living room and watched TV. As I watched the TV I saw...something else...the living room and the TV and all the other things just disappeared. I saw...that demon! The same demon that had wanted to kill me. He's in a dark place, outside... He's in the woods... I then heard a woman's scream and someone else yelling...I could barely make out both person's faces.

My mom and Sebastian!

A vision. It ended there and I could see all of the living room again. "Sebastian!" I yelled, panicked. Before I could blink my eyes Sebastian M. was standing in front of me.

"You called?" he said.

"Sebastian, I saw something. A-a vision. I saw my mom and Sebastian and that demon. They're in danger!" I blurted out. Sebastian looked at me for a moment.

"Do you know where they're at?" he asked.

"No, not exactly. It was dark, they're in the woods, somewhere. Come on, Sebastian, we have to do something." I said quickly.

"You stay here." he said and disappeared out the room. I then heard a crash in one of the rooms upstairs. I got off the couch and quickly ran upstairs. I heard another crash. It's coming from Mey-Rin's room. I then ran down the hallway to her room and opened the door. I sighed and walked over to Mey-Rin, who was sprawled on the floor.

"What happened?" I asked, looking over to the broken glass on the floor. Mey-Rin sat up.

"Ugh...I was reaching over that cabinet when a vase on tope fell on me, which made me fall to the floor and I accidently kicked the table which made a vase on the table fall, which landed on my arm. I then noticed the small cuts she had all over her arms and legs.

"Wow. You really need to be more careful, Mey-Rin." I said.

"I know. Sorry for all this trouble." she said.

"It's all right. I'll get you some bandages." I said and left. I came back in with some bandages and helped Mey-Rin put them on her arms and legs. "Done." I said as I got up, off the bed I had sat on.

"Thanks, Akari." said Mey-Rin. I carefully started picking up the broken pieces of glass off the floor and threw them in the trash.

"Ok. Well, you just rest and don't get close to tall cabinets. When you need something just ask me." I said and left back downstairs. I saw Ciel walking out of his room. "Hey Ciel." I said. He's so cute and with that eye patch, it just makes him even cuter! (It's not weird.) I then started laughing. I don't even know why.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Ciel.

"Nothing." I said once I had finally stopped laughing.

"Anyways, where's Sebastian?" he asked.

"Oh, he...left...somewhere. He didn't tell me exactly where though..." I said. I didn't really want to tell him the truth. "Wait! You must be hungry. I'll go make you some breakfast." I said. Before Ciel could say anything else I had already gone down to th kitchen and started making breakfast. Ciel came into the kitchen just as I was finishing making his breakfast.

"You're already done? You just...and..." Ciel said, confused. (Man, this guys is just always cute-still not weird!) I giggled.

"Yeah. I'm done. So, here you go." I set the food on the counter and he started eating. I then left to go feed Pluto. "Pluto!" I called out. I saw him in a corner of the backyard.

"Hey Pluto. Come here, boy. Come...here...Sakura?" I said and saw Sakura petting Pluto. "What the...Sakura, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Nothing..." she said, slowly walking towards me.

"How'd you even get into the backyard? You can only get out here if you come throught inside the house. And you couldn't have climbed that fence." I said, looking towards the tall, brick walls that surrounded the backyard to see if there was some other possible way she could have gotten in.

"Well..." She laughed a bit nervously. " Umm...Ok, you caught me. I can trust you, right?" she asked.

"Yeah." I simply responded.

"Okay, well. Don't tell anyone else. I'm a demon." she blurted out.

"That's cool." I said, not even surprised.

"Wait, what? You're not surprised or anything?" Her jaw dropped in surprise.

"No, I already knew since, like the first time I met you." I said.

"What...Then how did you feel when you found out you were a demon?" she asked, already knowing everything about me as much as I knew about her.

"Meh. I was barely eight years old. My parents had actually told me and Sebastian about while we were eating dinner. Sebastian was really surprised and freaked out. Ever since then he's been keeping his distance from me. We used to be so close, like best friends, you know... We did everything together. But now...everything changed. As I started getting older I became more aware of what I was. It started to scare me. Mostly because of what I could do which such power I have. I could do so many things no other human being could do. We all tried to keep it secret from everyone. Although, there was this one day...it happened two years before I found out I was a demon..."

~Flashback~

"Akari!" I heard a voice call out. I had scars all over my body. I was bleeding and felt weak. There was so much blood everywhere. "Akari, please don't" said the same voice, getting closer and closer to me.

"Akari!" I heard someone yell.

Jai. "Jai!" I yelled, looking at the weak, and scar-filled boy struggling to get free from a demon. "Don't hurt him!" I yelled. I then fell to my knees and started coughing out blood. "Uh...ow. Please don't hurt him" I breathed in as if trying to inhale the entire air. "Please..." I said, panting. I then felt someone grab me and stood me up, pointing a gun towards my head.

"You're like a little devil that has to die for the sake of the world. You're a sin with too much power. A very despised sin..." said a deep voice, the one who was threatning to shoot me. He chuckled and it scared me.

"It's for the good of all people. You'll be doing a good thing sacrificing your life. Come on" said another, the one holding Jai capive in his arms.

"No! Let me go!" I screamed.

"Shut up!" shouted the man. In just seconds the man pulled the trigger and everyone hear the gunshot. Missed. He didn's shoot me. Jai took the shot. Right before the man started to pull the trigger Jai had managed to escape from the other man and had moved me away from the man before the bullet even hit me. When Jai had pushed the man down, the man had shot Jai instead of me. The bullet went right throught Jai's chest. Near his heart, not through his heart, but near it.

"No! Jai!" I screamed when I had seen him fall to the ground. He was bleeding really badly and he had already lost to much blood in this fucked up battle. I was scared and confused of everything that had happened in just seconds. I had honestly thought that bulled had gone through my brain. Jai saved me. He saved me...

"Jai! Jai!" I wailed, kneeling down next to him. I didn't know what to do. He's losing so much blood. I turned around to look at the men that had wanted to kill me and Jai. They laid on the ground, completely still. I looked more closely at their bodies. They're weren't breathing and they had huge claw-like scratches on their chests down to their waists. They're dead. Jai killed them. I turned back to Jai, who was unconscious, and still bleeding. What am I supposed to do?

Just then my mom and dad run towards us from the narrow path these men had taken us through.

"Oh, thank God you're okay." said my mom, hugging me tighly. I felt the stinging pain from my wounds as she hugged me but I let her hug me. My dad lifted Jai in his arms and started walking back towards the path. My mom held my hand and we followed behind them.

"Mom, is he going to be okay?" I asked my mom. She looked down at me with a small smile.

"Oh, honey. Don't worry. He'll be fine." she responded. She muttered something else I couldn't quite get, "He's gone through so much just to protect her. He's such an amazing boy. And to think he actually took a bullet, near his heart, for her. Amazing."~

"So, yeah. That's why we moved over here. To hope nothing else would happen. And that all happened when me and Jai were only six years old. He's so brave. The thing is though, I never heard from Jai again after that. My parents wouldn't tell me anything about him at all." I said, finally finishing up my story.

"Whoa. That's pretty amazing. That Jai guy, I'm pretty sure he loves you." said Sakura, chuckling lightly.

"Yeah, I- Wait, what?!" I said, now realizing what I was saying and what Sakura had said. I wondered why Sakura had said Jai loved me.

"What? Nothing, nothing..." she said, nervously laughing. "So, anyways..." she started.

"Yeah. It was crazy. Man, I can't believe I told you all that. I don't even know why I just told you all this..." I said.

"It's fine. Don't worry, I won't tell anybody anything." she said. "By the way, nice pet dog you have." she said.

"Whatever. Come on, let's go inside. Since you're already here we can just hang out." I said, putting Pluto's plate of food I still had in my hand onto the ground.

"Ok, sure." said Sakura and we both went inside into the living room. "I feel bad about everything that happened to you and your friend, Jai. That's messed up. Man, giving up you life for them. Selfish idiots." I made a wry smile and turned on the TV.

"It's okay. Everything's better now." I said. "Kinda..." I then muttered quietly. We silently watched TV together.

Ciel suddenly broke the silence. "There's nothing to do here." he muttered as he walked into the living room.

"Why don't you come watch TV with us?" I asked. He sighed.

"What are you watching?" he asked as he sat down beside me on the couch.

"Well, it's this show called Forbidden Love. There's this girl and a guy and they're cousins and they like live together, kind of. The guy came for a visit and so he's at his cousin's hosue now and they get close, you know. Then they fall inlove and all that stuff. So yeah, that's where they left off. I wonder what'll happen next?" I said, and as I said every sentence I would get closer and closer to Ciel. He would scoot away ever time, though.

"Uh...Okay." he said, slowly backing away once more.

"Yeah." I said quietly, smiling at him. Sakura then burst out laughing so hard she fell of the couch onto the floor and wouldn't stop laughing. I smiled, she knew what I was doing. Ciel just looked confused. I was surprised he hadn't already run off, away from me. "So, Ciel..." I said quietly, scooting closer to Ciel. He scooted away. He then started to get up but I grabbed his arm and pushed him back down on the couch. Sakura suddenly stopped laughing and payed attention to me and Ciel now. Ciel seemed to be freakin out now. I moved a little closer to Ciel. We were face to face. I looked at him like he was a delicious piece of chocolate cake. Mmm... I didn't even know that my eyes were now a dark red, thirsting for something. I didn't even know what I was doing anymore. As if I had lost control of my consciousness and my body.

"Akari!" yelled Sakura, running up to me. She grabbed my arm and tried to pull me off Ciel but I threw her across the floor.

"You smell amazingly delicious, Ciel." I said in a breathy, low voice, breathing in his scent. Next thing I knew, everything had gone black and all I could hear was the loud sound of glass crashing down onto the hard floor, persons cackling, breaking through the windows. I couldn't see anything. I got away from Ciel, who also didn't know what the hell was going on.

"No...No, no...Can't be." I said, slowly making my way through the living room into the hallway. Someone's following me. I kind of knew what was going on, but then I didn't. It's weird. I feel different...not myself. I had just wanted to kill Ciel...Why?

I don't know what's going on... I found myself running upstairs to my room, still being secretely followed by someone. I almost ran into a wall but I managed to stop in time and turned around to go to my room. Before I could even take a step forward I felt a strong, stinging pain in my chest. I immediately fell to the ground.

"Hm...Sebastian..." I muttered, looking up at a guy who I never expected would actually have a whole other dark life full of lies...My own flesh and blood...
