Ch. 4 surprise
Authors note: sorry this took so long hope you enjoy.
I slowly made my way towards him never once adverting my gaze from his for fear of losing my target. "It's a pleasure to see you again Rasqul san. I pray that you are still in good health," shuichi said when I approached him. I had to give it to him He really did sound sincere. But I wasn't going to let that fool me it was apparent that he was putting up an act for our curious eavesdroppers. It was strange how the whole area surrounding us all of a sudden became quiet with every eye in our direction. People needed a life.
Shuichi, taking the hint that I refused to play along grabbed my hand and lead me away. "Let us speak in a place more private," he added so as not to draw attention to my lack of emotions I was giving off towards him except anger and hatred. The complete opposite feelings a normal girl would have for him
Though the grip seemed gentle to the human eye there was no denying the raw feelings he had toward me emitting from his touch. He was pissed. I allowed him to drag me from the school grounds and into the nearest alley putting some distance between us and the school In case of followers. Even though every survival instinct went off telling me to not go down that dark mysterious alley alone with him. I ignored it. Suppressing the need to refuse I followed him knowing full well it was a huge mistake and every survival knows never to get cornered or follow the predatory to an enclosed dark space with no witness around. But "curiosity killed the cat," they say and this was my one chance to extract information from him.
He pulled me in front of him pushing my body so my back was up against the rough brick building and placing his arms on either side of me stopping any attempts of escape I might have come up with.
Male dominance radiating from him caused me to glare even harder into his emerald eyes refusing to give in. males never change when it came to dominance. "What do you want?" I growled getting fed up with this whole issue between us. He remained silent his eyes still locked on mine, glaring as if he were trying to pierce into my fragile but stubborn soul. Finding nothing he released a sigh closing his eyes in the process before staring back at the fuming impatient girl before him. "Why have you not obeyed my orders and left town like I asked of you?" he answered his voice strained as he tried to control his anger and not do anything rash to the unreasonable child before him.
Looking surprised I answered him," you're joking right?" stopping to see if he would answer but realizing he wasn't I released a series of laughs. "You seriously thought I would listen and leave. I'm a fifteen year old girl. Where in the world am I supposed to go?" I laughed again. "What? Did you expect me to say ok and pack my bags and leave with nowhere to go? What a stupid thing to ask." I continued to mock his question noticing his eyebrows narrow with anger and getting a sense of glee that I angered him more.
"I have warned you and you refused to obey. What comes next is entirely your own doing and not of my own." He strained, acid falling from each word as the threat nailed itself down into my soul. This was not good. I was trapped and had no way to protect myself from his attacks. I was what he wanted me to . As if sensing my newly fond fear he smirked causing me to push myself against the wall to gain distance. Even if a few inches. Noticing that he was moving closer I did the only thing I could do. I screamed.
I must have caught him off guard because he jumped and I knowing that this would be my last chance at escape took advantage of his moment of weakness and ducked under his arm and ran. It didn't matter if he was faster than me. All that did was getting in a crowd. Being the saint that he is he would never attack me in front of a crowd.
My legs burned and I could hear him gathering his senses and realizing my plan but I was so close to safety there was no way he could prevent my escape now. At least that what I thought until a hand was placed on my upper arm yanking me back with incredible force that my back slammed hard into the brick wall knocking the breath out of me.
I sat there gasping and glaring at the male before me. It was apparent that I had underestimated him but he has also underestimated me. Though now was not the time to inform him of his careless mistake. "It seems as though you wish to remain stubborn to the end. But I would advise you to use a different tactic next time. At least try to make this a challenge for me. Could you do that please?" Shuichi teased while walking slowly toward me as if he wished this to be over and spare him of the boredom.
I gritted my teeth in frustration. I had planned that out perfectly there was no way he could have caught up to me that fast. It was inhuman. I gasped as the realization finally came to me. He was not human. His speed, strength, looks and intelligence were far more superior to be marked of as human. He had to be something else. He had to be a demon. Shuichi caught my eye and chuckled at my newly found fear.
"It is as you suspect I am not truly mortal," he chuckled again while running a hand nonchalantly through his crimson locks. "But then again, you are not truly mortal either." I was confused at his last statement. What did he mean that I wasn't mortal? Did that make me a demon? But I couldn't be I knew that I was my parent's child. I had seen my birth certificates as well as my parents so I knew they're mortal as well. So I couldn't be a demon I thought.
I was about to question his sanity when I noticed my plan was starting to take effect. Loud screams could be heard coming toward the alley in a stamped mob kind of way. Shuichi looked briefly at my smirked face then back towards the noise. A frown appeared on his face as he became aware of my plan followed by an angry glare at his mistake. The noise came into view now and dozens of girls could be seen pushing and shoving one another to get towards the red haired God.
I swear I could see the elegant and frail Sachi clawing the other girls eyes out to get toward him. She was the worst of them all. I stood still smirking in shuichi`s direction," is this a good enough tactic for you or am I still lacking?" I teased humiliating him in any way I could. He turned back towards me with an icy glare causing me to whimper in fear and take a few steps away from him and as quickly as it had come it left as the God found himself engulfed in a sea of hormonal teenage girls.
Taking my final chance to escape I dashed out of the alley way and towards my house. Wishing that this would be the last time my eyes would see the enraged God. It won't, and next time there was a good possibility that our next encounter would have me six feet under. There's nothing like a God's wrath and I had pissed the God of my school off. As if that wasn't enough I had humiliated him to a great degree. Damn. My life sucks
When my feet had finally carried me home I had a slight urge to keep going until I was safely half way across the world. Though not wanting to diminish my pride and give him the satisfaction I forced my hands to open the door to my home. Instantly the smell of freshly made double chocolate chip cookies found its way to my nose causing me to step back outside and check the house number wondering if I had somehow walked into the wrong one by mistake. Finding it accurate I made my way towards the kitchen to find the culprit at hand.
"Rasqul sweetie you're home," my mom said stating the obvious. At least she looked like my mom because the real one wouldn't be wearing a yellow feminine apron with a tray of freshly baked cookies in her hand. Nor would she have called me sweetie with a warm smile still present on that oddly familiar face. So why was I seeing this now? Normally she would still be at work doing whatever so as long as she didn't have to come home and play mother. A game she never really enjoyed seeing as there was no profit in having a child. Money wise at least.
"Is everything alright dear?" my "mother" asked sensing my uneasiness. I allowed myself to take a couple of steps back as my "mother" continued to stare at me with hurt eyes as if I had hurt her feelings. Yeah, fat chance of that ever happening. The familiar woman took a step towards me and opened her mouth as though she was about to say something but I certainly wasn't going to stick around long enough to listen. I fled out of the room not quite thinking clearly. I had had no idea what I was going to do next or where I was planning to go. All I knew was that I needed to get away and fast. They were like cockroaches. No matter how much you got rid of them they just kept coming back. My mother's a demon. Go figure.
I made it to the living room and noticed her standing in front of my exit with a butcher's knife in hand. I really needed to hit the gym. "Sweetie what is the matter? You can tell me, your mother what ails you. I promise to make it better," she smirked at that last part and I certainly didn't want to know what she had in mind but that butcher knife was a hell of a good clue. I backed away slowly before running up the stairs and into my room. If I could just grab that weapon I hid everything might turn out ok. I hope. My ears picked up her chuckling causing me to increase my speed. This demon was really starting to get on my nerves.
My hands clasped the door tightly before yanking it open as if my life depended on it. Because it kind of did. I leaped into the room towards the direction of my bed barely missing the claws that were aimed for my neck. My hands clasped around something cold before a weight was added to my slender body. The new demon pushed me slightly so that I was on my back instead of side and cupped my chin slightly.
"Who are you?" I gasped shifting slightly underneath him. Why did all demons feel the need to have me pinned? Really, was it just a way for them to show dominance or something because there was no way it was to prevent me from escaping. We both knew that was impossible so it would be nice to not be in this awkward position for once.
"My name is Acedia, my princess and you dear will do exactly as I say." Acedia said and I noticed a slight change in his eye but it only lasted for an instant. Before I could question it I was pulled out of my thoughts when I noticed the pressure against my body became increasingly heavier. A gasp broke its way from my tender lips as the need for air began to fill my lungs. "G-Get off," I grunted while my hands tried to unsuccessfully rip themselves from his. It was apparent that I was not going to be released unless he willed it. A chuckle escaped his lips as they came increasingly close to my own, his eyes staring straight into me.
I could feel a blush forming across my face and mentally scolded myself for feeling this way seeing as how he was still transformed into my mother's appearance. But it was obvious he was a guy and putting a guy right on top of somebody even in a woman's disguise didn't really help the hormones much. He smirked as if he had been reading my mind and who knows he actually might be able to. I'm no expert on demons though that would be a very funny college major.
He held my hands in one of his while the free one that had been cupping my chin yanked my head forward so that my lips gently brushed up against his. "Please," I gasped," at least get out of my mother's appearance." Great, I was about to be killed or worst by this mother shifting demon and all I can worry about is him French kissing me in her form. Well hell, that's just fine with me. Kissing an ugly deformed smelly demon no problem and hey added bonus points if he intends to kill you but oh God please don't let me kiss my mother. That would be totally worse. Good job Rasqul, keep worrying about the insignificant things.
The demon actually stared at me for a full minute before breaking into a laugh. Great, now I'm being laughed at. I don't think anything can get worse than this. I glared hard at him while waiting for him to stop being as patience as I could considering the situation I was in."If that is what you wish my princess than it shall be done." He said once he was able to get his laughter down enough so that speech was possible. Though he still continued to laugh and tears could be seen at the corners of his eerie familiar emerald eyes I noticed the eyes becoming lighter and his features growing in size. I shut my eyes not wishing to see his metamorphosis and felt the weighs on top of me become heavier and warmer. After what seemed like an eternity but was really a few seconds my eyes reopened to be met with the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen
A huge blush that reached all the way through my body formed itself on me as I seen the most beautiful person I had ever seen before in my life, (He even excelled Shuichi, which is pretty much impossible), on top of me smiling and completely naked.
Rusted chains hanging from the wall
Abandoned, alone all through the night
Tears ready to fall
