Chapter 5: A new demon
Austin and Maya raced through the forest.
It was late evening and they had gone out to play.
"Hey no fair transforming, mama said only for emergency." Maya complained as she chased her brother.
Austin laughed when he changed back, and stopped waiting for Maya to catch up.
"You are too slow sis." Austin said.
"Well it's your fault, you're not aloud to transform." Maya said.
Austin was about to joke more, when he heard something.
"You'd better say you're sorry and..." Maya was silenced by Austin shushing her, putting his hand over her mouth.
He looked around warrily.
Maya finally was able to remove his hand and whispered, "What is it?"
Austin caught a dark figure a few feet away from them, he didn't see a face, it was too dark, but based on Austin's senses, his demon blood boiling and the smell of the figure had Austin fully alert.
"Maya, let's go home. We need to run." Austin whispered, and turned his sister around, and they took off running.
Autin held her hand tightly, guiding her through the forest.
Once or twice Maya tripped.
Austin pulled her back up, looking back at the figure who remained in spot.
Finally, they arrived at the house, running in, through the hallways, until they arrived in the huge living room where their mother, Rin, was.
"What happened?" Rin asked, noticing the fear in their eyes, and their heavy breathing.
"There was a dark figure out there, I don't know who it was but...It didn't smell right." Austin explained.
"Where was this figure at?" Sesshomaru suddenly appeared in the room.
"It was in the forest, somewhere." Austin said.
"Ok, stay in the house, I'm going to go see what it is." Sesshomaru said, and left the house.
Rin hugged Austin tightly, "Thank goodness you two are safe."
She moved to Maya, hugging her.
"We'd better get to bed, got school tomorrow." Austin said.
"Mama, can I sleep with you tonight?" Maya asked.
"Of course you can." Rin said.
"Alright, I'm off to bed, night mom." Austin said.
"Goodnight Austin." Rin said.
Rin went back to sit on the couch, with Maya close to her.
"I couldn't really see the figure, but it did look scary." Maya said.
"It's ok now, it's not going to hurt you." Rin said.
Sesshomaru returned not long after.
"I didn't find anything or even smell anything." He said.
"It must have run off." Rin said.
She got up, with Maya at her side.
"She's sleeping with us tonight." Rin told Sesshomaru.
"Alright, come on Maya." Sesshomaru said.
...Next morning...
"Alright, I want you two to come straight home after school ok?" Rin said.
"Where did dad go?" Maya asked.
"He went on a little trip, he'll be back later." Rin said.
"Ok. Bye Mama." Maya said as she got on Ah-Un.
Her and Austin flew off.
Austin helped Maya off the dragons, and they headed into the school.
"Welcome back Maya." Myro smiled at Maya.
"Thank you." Maya said, and went to take her seat, next to Layla.
"Alright, today we have a new student." Lady Myro said.
Maya looked over to the door, and in walked a boy about her age, he had short black hair.
"This, is Akuma." Myro said.
Akuma walked to the back of the row and sat down.
When he passed Maya, she suddenly felt a fear, a silent gasp uncontrollably let out.
She looked back at him, who had his attention on the teacher.
He seemed to notice her stare, for his 'red' eyes met hers.
"Alright class, let us begin." Myro said.
Maya tried her best to pay attention, but the fear she was feeling, was making her breathless, she felt as if he was crawling around her skin.
"Maya, are you alright?" Myro now noticed her lack of breathing.
"I-I'm fine." Maya said.
"Are you sure, you don't look so good." Myro said, coming up to her desk.
"Maybe she needs some fresh air." The boy's voice came.
"You're right, Maya, do you need to step out for a minute?" Myro asked.
Maya slowly nodded.
"Ok, take all the time you need." Myro said.
Maya got out of her seat.
"Should I assist you?" Akuma asked.
"Why that is quite nice of you Akuma." Myro said.
Maya was shaky, but she didn't want to sound rude, so instead she nodded.
Akuma moved out of his seat and exited the room with Maya slowly behind.
They walked out in the long hallway.
"So, what's this? Do you have trouble breathing often?" Akuma asked.
"N-No, I just..." Maya couldn't speak.
She looked the boy over, his eyes were scaring the life out of her.
"Maya are you ok?" Austin came up to her.
Akuma backed away, letting Austin come up to her.
"I'm fine." Her voice sounded weak.
"You are not fine, I could feel your fear, what is wrong?" Austin asked.
Maya looked over at Akuma.
Austin looked at her direction.
"Who are you?"
"Sorry, I am Akuma, Maya's new classmate."
"Akuma huh? Well, why don't you go on back in, I need to talk with my sister." Austin said.
"Ah, she's you're sister huh?" Akuma asked.
"yes, now please leave us." Austin said.
Aukuma nodded, a shock coming in his eyes, and he quickly returned to the classroom.
"Austin, your eyes." Maya said.
He suddenly realized that he had almost called his dog demon form, so immediately, his eyes changed back to golden brown.
"Are you ok?" Austin asked.
Maya sighed, "I don't know why, but when he left, I feel, all of a sudden, relieved."
"So, he was scaring you? What did he do?" Austin asked.
"N-Nothing, he just, i don't know." Maya said.
"Ok, do you want to go back to class or do you want to go home? I can explain to mom what is wrong." Austin said.
"No, I'll go back to class, I'm not going to leave school just because of the new student." Maya said.
Austin nodded, "ok, if you get scared again, I want you to go home, that fear I felt, it's just not like you Maya."
"I'll be fine." She said.
Austin nodded again, hugged his sister and went back to class.
Maya sighed, and walked back into her classroom, ready to continue her day.
