Anyway, here's the next chapter :3

IT MAY BE SHORT BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING

Kline felt more embarrassed than ever before. Even if the others had put it behind them, the scene still lingered in his mind. He couldn't believe he'd let himself get possessed so easily. And what he really felt guilty about was that there was some truth in his words.

But he thought he'd grown up since then… that he had more control of his will and emtions. But apparently he hadn't grown at all. He was still envious of others, he still let his fear take over. Even now fear probed him. His heart thudded in his chest, and he felt tense.

The silence…it had an odd feeling to it. And wouldn't there be more demons than just some coaltar and other fungi possessers? He'd expected to see all kinds of demons by now. But he felt as if they were looking at him from the shadows, their eyes burning into him; sensing his fear. He gulped and tried to stay calm.

Kline peeped through the bushes, observing the "village". They were all crouched behind some bushes on the outskirts of the forest. They had been walking for two days, when suddenly they saw what looked like a building and now they were here. There were still a few yards between them and the "village", so they weren't as worried as being seen.

What he saw was totally not what he was expecting. If not for the demon characteristics, he would've thought it was some village from olden-times in his own world. There were humanoids, wolf-like demons, bird-like demons, etc. A few laughs floated back to his ears.

"Whoa, this is not what I expected at all," Blossom said. Kline nodded in agreement.

"So what next?" Lily asked.

"Hmmm…" Yukio thought outloud. "They might look friendly from here, but how would they react if a bunch of strangers showed up suddenly?"

The question hung in the air, the others pondering on what could happen.

"I'm pretty sure it's gonna be different than what would happen in Assiah…" Lily added.

"Anyway, we need food." Marla injected. "We haven't had any food for two days straight. And I don't think Rin over there is gonna heal any quicker without food and water," Rin's face turned a light shade of pink at her comment, and his stomach rumbled as if it was agreeing with her.

"Me and Yukio could go and ask for food…" Rin suggested. "We are half-demon…"

They stared back out at the little town, wondering what to do.

"Um, who are you?" They jumped as a voice spoke from behind them. They turned around, seeing a young-looking boy-demon- looking at them, one eyebrow raised. He had alburn hair and dark purple eyes. He was wearing a red un-zipped hoodie with a white undershirt and jean shorts. A tail swooshed behind him. He was holding a basket in one hand. "And why are you hiding under a bush?"

"Uh, hi…" Blossom said awkwardly. "We were, uh, wondering if you'd have any food to spare…?"

The demon stared at them curiously. "Don't tell me- you're one of those humans from that other world, aren't you? And you've wondered into Gehenna on accident, haven't you?"

"Um, yeah. Let's go with that." Blossom said. Kline tried to ignore the basket in the stranger's arm. A juicy smell was coming from it making him even hungrier. His stomach rumbled.

A trace of concern appeared in the demon's eyes. "How long have you been down here?"

"Two and a half days," Lily answered. He blinked.

"You managed to make it that long and didn't go insane?" He exclaimed. "Most of your kind goes crazy in only one day!"

"Well we're kinda used to this stuff…" Kline muttered under his breath. The demon glanced at him.

"You must be starving!" He said, showing no other sign he had heard Kline. He held out the basket. Inside, there were purple objects that resembled apples. "In your world they'd be called "fruit", I think. Here, have some."

Yukio and Kline looked at the "fruit" suspiciously. Kline didn't trust the demon. There was something in his eye that just didn't look right, as if he was forcing himself to be friendly. He could talk to the others later about it, but they'd probably just blow it off and say he was being paranoid.

Reluctantly, he took the food, despite his mistrust. He felt his mouth water, and tentivly took a bite. It tasted just like an apple, but juicer. The sweet-flavored juice trickled down his throat, and the mushy fruit seemed to melt in his mouth. Kline hungrily scuffed down the last of the fruit. He saw the others had also eaten it quickly, despite being in Gehenna.

"You look as if you have some battle wounds," The demon observed. "Would you like to come to our village and rest?"

Blossom stood up. "Thanks for the food and all, and I don't take this personally, but how do we know you're not leading us into a trap?"

The demon didn't even looked a bit shocked by the question, he even looked as if he'd been asked that before. He sighed. "Yeah…get that question allot. I don't blame you, for being in Gehenna and all, the land of the "demons", as your kind says. But not all demons are bad. Just the ones with power. But, it's your choice wither you take me up on my offer. I won't force you."

"What's your name?" Lily asked.

"Felix," The demon answered.

"Uh, Felix, do you mind if we talk about it first?" Lily asked. Felix nodded.

"Go ahead," And with that, he walked past them toward the village, then turned back and yelled, "I'll come back in thirty minutes to hear your answer!"

They watched him walk off, then adjusted themselves into a circle.

"Think we can trust him?" Blossom asked.

"Well, he did give us food…" Lily said. "And as far as I can tell, it wasn't poisoned,"

"He didn't seem, er, "demonish", to me," Rin said. "I think we can trust him."

Marla, Kline, and Yukio seemed reluctant to trust this newcomer. They knew they shouldn't assume all demons were evil and out to kill them, but they didn't want to trust too easily. And some people were great at acting and hiding their true intentions.

"I think we should go for Felix's offer," Blossom said. "Besides, we need the supplies."

"I think we can take him up on his offer, but we shouldn't trust him until we're sure he's a good guy." Marla suggested.

"Doesn't it feel like we're backstabbing him, though? He'll trust us; but we're just taking an offer and not returning the favor." Rin said.

"That doesn't matter," Marla growled. "The only thing that matters is our survival."

Everyone knew she was right, and they all came to an agreement. Like he had said, Felix showed up thirty minutes later. He was happy to hear they'd take his offer, and led them to the village. The group didn't let their guard down, always glancing around, tense in case they were being led into a trap.

And judging by the number of demons around, they seriously hoped they weren't.
