Chapter 7- Last Secret Gone:Charlie:
I had did a video-chat with Castiel last night. He wasn't the happiest when I said I was apparently a friend with a Mafia son. Then he was laughing. That night at diner, Mori still felt bad though- all the morning he kept apologizing and was being extra-nice. It was annoying Chika though.
"So, would someone like to tell me what happened," Mori's father asked politely, referring to how Mori was acting.
"He got possessed," I said bluntly, "Don't worry- he's cool now."
They all looked at me shocked and blinked. I stopped mid-bite. I gave them a sheepish smile. Mori looked saddened and Hunny patted his back. Chika looked a bit mad,
"You mean he hurt you?"
"'o," I swallowed my food, "No. He didn't do anything…the demon that possessed him, however…."
I let the rest of my sentence dangle in the air.
The morning was different though, I had to go to school and I wasn't in a good mood. My sides still hurt, I still had bruises, and I had to use freaking makeup just to cover up the black eye and a few of the bruises that were more easily noticed. I had to bandage my chest extra carefully though since I wanted it to be as comfortable as possible- plus avoid extra injury. Damn…
At host club, the girls were swooning at me- like usual.
"Sorry, ladies," I smirked, "just not feeling well today."
They 'awed'.
"Are you okay?"
"What's wrong?"
"Maybe a cookie will make you feel better."
One girl held out a cookie to me. I smirked and got to her face, cupping her chin in my hand,
"Only if I get to eat it from your mouth."
Cue nosebleeds and faints.
Third Person:
After the club, Kyoya looked at Charlie,
"What caused you to sustain such injuries?"
Charlie narrowed her eyes,
"What injuries?"
"Do I need to remind you my family specializes in medicine…I can easily tell your hiding injuries- bruised ribs perhaps? Black eye?"
Charlie continued glaring,
"I don't need to answer to you," she growled.
A bit annoyed, she left. Tamaki cried,
"Mommy! You upset her!"
"I didn't do anything," he pushed up his glasses, "she was injured, was she not?"
He looked to Hunny and Mori. Mori looked a bit guilty. Hunny bit his lip,
"Charlie-chan did get hurt…we don't know how," he lied, "but she's okay."
Tamaki cried,
"HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?!"
Hunny shrugged,
"We just don't."
Suddenly, the doors burst opened- it wasn't Charlie. It was a man- one of Ritsu's guards. Everyone could tell something was wrong. Hunny and Mori tensed as they saw his eyes were pure black.
Ritsu, Tetsuya, and a few others of the mob came running in- trying to figure out what was wrong with their friend.
"What's with him," the twins asked.
"We don't know," Tetsuya breathed out, "he just….he just started running."
The guy turned to all of them. It was then that Ritsu and his men noticed his pure black eyes- no whites, no pupil. The others in the host club noticed too. A sudden wave of fear passed over everyone. Hunny and Mori were thinking one thing, where's Charlie when you need her?
Charlie continued to scowl. Dean and Sam ran up to her.
"What are you idgits doing here," she hissed. It may have been after school- but it wasn't clear.
"Yellow-eyes," Dean said, rushed, "he's here….we're chasing him down. We got rid of his minions, but one got out."
Charlie nodded,
"I'll get him. You head for yellow-eyes…what the minion look like?"
"He was tall, one of those mob men I think. Dark brown hair, blue eyes, mean face."
Charlie froze. It was the same man that had passed her as she left the host club.
"Shit."
Ritsu had stared at the man. He knew him, of course he did. It was the same guy that had played kick the can with him, Tetsuya, Charlie, and the others. The same guy that was usually pretty laid back and loyal to Ritsu. He knew that man…and whatever was standing in front of Ritsu…It wasn't him. Ritsu, along with the others, were having doubts that whatever was standing in front of them wasn't even human.
"What's wrong," the twins whispered.
The guy turned and hissed at them. He threw up his hand and they were thrown against the wall. Kyoya's eyes widened, how is that possible? He didn't even touch them.
"Hey, bitch!"
Charlie entered with a calm smirk on her face. The twins were against the wall, dropped to the floor, and sputtered. Their whole body hurt. The rest of the hosts tried to comfort them.
"Charlie, get away," Ritsu warned- not wanting his new friend to get hurt. Hunny shook his head,
"Kasanoda-kun, Charlie-chan can deal with this a lot better than we can."
They looked at Hunny shocked and then back at Charlie- she shrugged,
"I'm not exactly what you think I am," she winked, "I'll explain later for now, we have demon to deal with."
All of them had wide eyes except for Hunny and Mori- who had grim expressions. Mori couldn't remember what had happened when he was possessed, but when he saw that guy he couldn't help but wonder what exactly he seemed like. The guy turned to Charlie- who was still pretty calm. She wasn't necessarily in a rush and she wasn't too concerned.
"Who are you," he hissed.
"You don't know me? That's a first, usually you hell-spawn seem to know me more than I know myself."
She started to slowly walk forward,
"Now, you gonna make this easy, or is there gonna be a problem?"
The guy lunged for her- the hosts cried out. She easily dodged him and got out the holy water- spraying it on him. He yelled in agony. Ritsu worried that his friend was hurt but Charlie glared at everyone to shut him or her up. She started to speak in Latin. Hunny held out his hand to keep the hosts from interfering. Mori went to the others in the room and held them back. Both did a good job at keeping everyone a safer distance away. Charlie continued speaking in Latin as the guy thrashed around, he held up his hand and tossed her to the wall. She momentarily was out of breath- but she kept talking. The guy walked towards her and she didn't once hesitate. He gripped her neck and bruises started to form- but she kept going. She kicked him away- using a kick taught to her by Chika. The guy was thrown away from her. She gasped for air, but kept going.
In the end, the room was a bit destroyed, Charlie was pretty hurt (from her older injuries getting hurt again), and the guy was okay.
"What the hell happened," the guy gasped.
"You don't remember," Tetsuya asked gently.
"Hell no."
"That's what happens when you're possessed," Charlie pointed out. Everyone turned to her.
"You can't be suggesting it was a demon," Kyoya asked a bit annoyed. Charlie huffed,
"It was a demon alright….pretty weak too."
"That was weak," Tamaki cried.
"Well yeah," Charlie said like it was obvious, "especially considering the other demon it was working for."
"Who was it working for," Hunny asked.
"Yellow-eyse," she said solemnly, "he's pretty powerful. His…signature, I guess you could say, is to perform some type of blood ritual on babies and he'll hold the mother up on the ceiling, cut her stomach open, finish the ritual, and then burn her alive."
"That's what happened to Dean and Sam," Hunny whispered. Charlie nodded,
"Hell yeah that's what happened to my brothers- well, they're not really my brothers but close enough."
"What about your parents," Haruhi asked- getting over the shock.
"Mom died in childbirth. Dad trained me since I was a little and he died when I was fourteen. Pack of werewolves."
"Are you saying there are more supernatural creatures," Kyoya prodded. Charlie huffed,
"Hell yeah. Demons. Witches. Ghosts. Wendigos. Shape shifters. Werewolves. Vampires. Hell, you name it and I probably put a bullet in it."
"How do you know everything," Ritsu asked- now he was a bit fearful for his new friend.
"I'm a hunter," she explained.
She sat down a bit uneasy. She took deep breaths- finally feeling all the pain that the demon had caused. The rest of them gathered around her. Kyoya was a bit skeptic, but then again there have been many things that happened at the hospitals his family owned that he couldn't explain. Ritsu and Tetsuya were a bit worried and scared for Charlie- she was a woman after all, and a new friend. The twins were shaken up. Tamaki couldn't believe that his precious daughter was a hunter. Haruhi took everything a bit well. She saw it happen so she knew it was real.
Hunny and Mori watched carefully.
"You knew," Kyoya pointed out and they nodded,
"Our families help hunters a lot so yeah, we knew about Charlie-chan," Hunny said cutely.
"Yeah," Charlie said, "anyway, to hell with it- yes, I'm a hunter and yes- I hunt supernatural things and have been doing so since I was a kid. While other kiddies were fast asleep without a care in the world, I was out hunting with Dad and we would," she hiccupped, "we killed a lot. Some, like witches, were humans but they would summon some big bad demons and try to start the apocalypse."
She continued to cough and hiccup. Then the concern started when she coughed up some blood. Kyoya rushed over,
"You're delirious," he said simply, "you need to be taken to the hospital."
"Hell," Charlie said, "no hospitals! I had worse before and continued fighting."
Ritsu, Tetsuya, and his men were skeptical. It was hard to believe the messy, hurt girl in front of them was the same tough Charlie they knew as a friend. Kyoya shook his head,
"I'll take you to my family's hospital. I will take care of any and all complications- including bribing the doctors if I must to keep you a secret."
"And what do you get in return," Charlie hissed and then coughed up some more blood.
"Information so this doesn't happen again of course," Kyoya said as he pushed up his glasses. Charlie hiccupped and then nodded.
"Just one more thing…..someone catch me."
With that, Charlie passed out- caught by Tetsuya.
