Chapter 2: Transfer Student

So this is the place where I can find the human girl. I walked along the hallways and I suddenly came across someone crying. I caught sight of her pink hair and her bright honey eyes glistened with tears. 'So this is my target. Hinamori Amu. Hnnn. This is going to get interesting.' I approached her swiftly and quietly, trying not to make a sound.

I stood beside her, leaned into her ear and whispered in my fake seductive voice,

"Don't cry, Amu."

I found her reaction quite amusing. As I expected, she jumped and screamed. I struggled to keep my act together when she suddenly turned around and saw me. I noticed she was observing my features and she looked like she was in confusion and in awe at the same time.

I chuckled quietly to myself, 'This human is more interesting that I can give her credit for.' I smirked as I moved closer to her and she, backwards. She reached the wall and I pinned her against it leaning closer to her face, to her lips. Her face was hot and flushed as I continued to close in on her lips. Then, as if she anticipated me to kiss her, she closed her eyes. I couldn't hold it in much longer, so I stepped back and laughed.

She opened her eyes, blushing in embarrassment. While she regained her composure, she glared at me.

"What the hell was that for, pervert? How the hell do you know my name?" Her fists were balled together, shaking in fury. "Looks like I hit a nerve."

I glared at her coldly."One. To stop you from crying. Two. You're pretty well-known throughout the campus."

She gave me a questioning look. "By the looks of it, I am the new transfer student in your class." I answered dryly.

"Whatever. Class is this way." she retorted.

While she led the way to class, I smiled at myself. "This human is just too interesting,"

My cellphone rang and I knew perfectly well who it would be from. I scowled as I answered it, my voice cold and aloof.

"Speak."

"Have you gotten yourself acquainted with the human, Black Cat?"

"I have."

"Excellent. You have to capture her soul as soon as possible. Her existence is disrupting the balance of life and death. Understand?"

"Understood."

"You have seven days to complete this task. That shouldn't be a problem for you."

I hung up and slid the phone back into my pocket. As I looked up, we had already reached the classroom door. She walked into class, and I followed suit. I stood in front of the class and introduced myself. I had attracted much attention, but I didn't care because I was only here for one reason. To capture Hinamori Amu's soul before seven days were over. I sat in the back row, carefully observing her looking out a nearby window. I smiled to myself, 'The game has just begun, Amu. The game has just begun.'

Yes. Everything was already in place, at his command.
