Chapter 6: New Neighbors
When Austin and Maya walked home, it was quiet, Austin seemed to have forgotten all about what happened that day.
When they got in the house, they could immediately smell something sweet cooking.
The two went into the kitchen.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Austin asked.
"Sesshomaru has found a new family not far from us, and he has scheduled us to go meet them." Rin said.
"New. Family?" Austin asked.
"Yes, we are just about to leave." Rin said, as she wrapped the little pie up. A pie that Maya loved, but Austin didn't take so much interest in.
"Are they demons like us?" Austin asked.
"The mother is human." Rin said.
"Oh." Austin stopped his questioning and saved the rest for when they arrived.
The three left the house, and met up with Sesshomaru in the middle of the forest.
The house that they arrived at was a little smaller than theirs, and a little old looking.
As they walked up to the house, the door opened, revealing a female.
"Ah, Sesshomaru, this must be your family." The female said.
"My name is Rin." Rin introduced.
"This is my son Austin and my daughter Maya." Rin said.
"Hmm, my name is Allia. My son is upstairs right now, Austin, Maya, why don't you go see him. He's told me so much about you Maya, on his first day." The female said.
Austin and Maya nodded and walked past the female, into the house, and up the long lasting stairs.
They stopped at a closed door that had the boy in there.
"Come in." The boy's voice called before Austin knocked.
When they entered, Maya tried her best to keep her polite voice and face on.
"You must be Austin and Maya. My name is Akuma. Of course you knew that Maya." The boy walked up to them.
He gave Maya a look before looking at Austin, "We haven't properly met, Akuma." The boy held out his hand.
Austin was slow, but he took the boy's hand, and shook it slowly, and before he let go, there was a small snap, and Akuma jerked his hand away.
"Austin!" Maya snapped at her brother, and walked over to the backing away boy, who was holding his hand, shaking it a little.
"I'm sorry, are you ok?" Maya asked.
"Yeah. Just a little sprain." Akuma gave his hand one more wiggle before another snap sounded, and his hand looked normal again, "See?"
"What is wrong with you Austin? He's knew, I told you he didn't do anything." Maya said.
"I'll be downstairs." Austin said, and left the room.
Maya was sort of surprised and relieved that she wasn't scared of this kid.
"Sorry, he's a little..."
"Protective, yes, I would probably be the same if I had a sister." Akuma said.
"I'm sorry. He's just a little jumpy around half demons." Maya said.
"But isn't that what you are?" Akuma asked, confuse in his eyes.
"He knows me, he likes me, it's just...I don't know, I guess that's what full demons are like, they are kind of iffy around them." Maya said.
"So, tell me about yourself. How is it that you are brother and sister, and he is full demon and you are only half?" Akuma asked.
"Well, our mother is a human, and...Well, I guess Austin got more traits from our father than our mother." Maya said.
"And you got more traits from your mother?" Akuma asked.
"Yeah, and what about you? Your father is a demon?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, but...He died, when I was little." Akuma said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Maya said.
"No, it's ok. He wasn't really the type of father like yours. Protective, kind...Caring." Akuma said.
"Oh." Maya said.
"Um, would you like to see around the house?" Akuma asked.
"Sure." Maya smiled.
Akuma walked past Maya.
"Well, as you know, that's my room." Akuma stood behind Maya.
Maya walked more into the room, taking a good look.
"There were papers that basically covered his wall.
"You draw?" Maya asked, looking at the papers.
"Yeah, sort of." Akuma said.
Maya took a piece of the paper from the wall, looking at it shocked.
"Sort of? Akuma this is so awesome, it looks so real." Maya said.
"Yeah, that's...My father." Akuma said.
Maya looked at the picture again.
Akuma looked a lot like him.
His father did look scary though, same eyes as Akuma, but this picture, he was surrounded by bunches of demons, and he wore the strangest armor.
"Maya. Mom said we're leaving." Austin poked his head through the door.
"OK." Maya said.
Austin nodded and left.
"Well, it was nice officially meeting you Akuma." Maya said, putting the paper back on the wall.
"And you, Maya." Akuma said.
"So, I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Maya asked.
"You bet." He said.
"Ok, bye." Maya said, and left his room.
When she came downstairs, Sesshomaru and Austin were gone.
"You ready Maya." Rin asked.
"Yes." Maya smiled.
"It was nice meeting you Rin, Maya." Allia stood up.
"And you too." Rin said.
Maya and Rin left the house.
Allia turned around when Akuma came downstairs.
Allia began changing appearance.
"That was fun." Allia said.
Her blonde hair turned brown, her blue eyes turned golden, and her human looking ears sharpened to a point.
"I don't know why but, you looked so much better in the human disguise." Akuma said.
"Do not forget why we are here Akuma. Do not forget who killed your father. You know what the plan is, I want you to stick to it." Allia said.
Akuma nodded.
