Chapter 7

Amazing

"Listen." The housekeeper said, as she plopped onto Kotarou's bed. Kotarou came on with her. "I don't want to do this, but I have to."

"What? Do what?" Kotarou asked.

"I'm a type of Myst Demon. I come from a special planet. But they call me a demon. I'm kinda like an alien."

"And you're here, why?"

"I was dropped off here. I live to… do certain types of things. I chose you." She said, without blinking.

"Why me?"

"Because you can see people like Misha."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?" Kotarou changed his position on the bed.

"I wasss…. A client of hers. More of a…companion." She scooted closer to Kotarou and touched his thigh.

"And I'm your companion?"

"Mmhmm."

"Can you change companions?"

"No. It's written as a fact in a bible-type book."

"How long?"

"6 Years. And, so I don't get killed, I kind of need that certain type of companionship at least once a day."

Kotarou ran to the door. "I'm sorry, I can't help it! It's in order for me to live!! And Ten-chan, if I companion with him, it would only be a practice routine. It wouldn't count. I can't change!"

"And what did you do to my father?" he asked, politely and slower than usual. He walked to the Myst Demon again.

"I got him a promotion in Belize for 7 years."

"Seven?"

"Yes. It'll give me enough time."

"For what."

The Myst demon walked up to Kotarou.

"If you turn out to love me, then I can stay longer. And I apologized for the police thing. If I got caught, I would have died. Well, sent back to my planet, to be mocked and suffer my foolishness. And I couldn't get you in there for too long, So I had to bail you out."

"What about the other teen?"

"Oh, he's another Myst demon. He wasn't sent back, but they punished him by giving him that lisp. He is my brother. I have to tell you this. But, Uematsu and Takashi. Are… to be shared by him."

"NO!"

"Oh, don't worry." The Myst demon spoke softly, and stopped to lick Kotarou's cheek. "That's only for a little while. About 6 months."

"Why are you longer?"

"I chose it to be, well, father really did."

The Myst demon guided Kotarou to the bed and started recharging herself.

Later….

Kotarou walked into the tv room where the Myst demon was sitting. "Hey, I forgot to ask, what Is your name?" She looked at Kotarou. "My name is Orchard VIII"

"The 8th?" Kotarou asked, baffled.

"Yep." Kotarou sat next to her. After her recharging, Kotarou felt different about her. He felt bad, sad, lonely, and… a different type of love for her. Stronger. Than Misha. He felt that he could trust Orchard VIII more than Misha. He felt a stronger connection than ever. He wanted to be by Orchard VIII. He closed his eyes and cuddled with her. And opened them. Orchard smiled and kissed his head. Kotarou feel asleep in her arms. Orchard carried him to his bed, and slept next to him, cuddling him as close as possible on his small twin bed.
