Chapter 8: Falling
"Hey mom." Maya came out from her room into the the living room.
"Yes?" She answered.
"That boy, Akuma, he has asked me to come over today, can I? I won't stay long." Maya asked.
"Why sure you can." Her mom smiled.
"I don't think that's a good idea Maya." Austin came in.
"Austin, he is her classmate, she would like to make some new friends." Rin said.
Austin sighed, even though he didn't like taking orders from a human, this one was his mother, "Ok, fine."
Austin sighed again and walked off.
"Bye mom!" Maya said hugging her.
Maya left the house, and made her way over to Akuma's house.
She knocked on the door.
"Hello?" Akuma opened the door slowly.
"Hey, it's me." Maya smiled.
"Oh, hey. Glad you could make it. My mother is asleep, but we can hang out in my room." Akuma said.
"Are you sure? I could come back." Maya said.
"No, it's fine. She's a day sleeper, could sleep through almost anything." Akuma said.
"Oh." Maya said.
She entered his house again.
"So, what do you want to do?" Akuma asked.
"Um, hang out in your room?" Maya asked.
Akuma laughed, "Ok."
He lead her upstairs.
When Maya walked in his room, she looked over the pictures again.
"How do you...Draw like this?" Maya asked, looking over at him.
"I don't know, I just grab paper and pencil and create." Akuma said.
"Could you draw something, and teach me?" Maya asked.
Akuma looked at her.
Maya shook her head, laughing nervously. "I'm sorry, I'm being rude."
Akuma laughed, "What makes you think you are rude?"
He moved over to his desk, grabbing a piece of paper.
"Well, I thought maybe your drawing was personal." Maya said.
Akuma looked at her again, he smiled, "I like you." He laughed again.
"Alright, come here." Akuma said.
Maya took a seat at the old chair.
"Now, I want you to draw what is going in your mind right now." He said.
"What? What's that supposed to do?" Maya asked.
"It helps you relax when you draw." Akuma said.
"Ok?" Maya said unsurely.
"Here, I'll help you start." Akuma said.
He set the pencil in her hand, and set his hand on her wrist.
"Close your eyes." He whispered.
"How can I..."
"Trust me...You trust me right?" He whispered.
Maya sighed calmly, and closed her eyes.
She felt his hand move hers to the paper, and she felt her hand move in different ways, up and down, left and right, then repeating multiple lines.
She felt comfortable, and almost at ease as her hand was guided across the paper, hoping that she was actually drawing what was on her mind.
"Open your eyes now." Akuma said, releasing her hand.
Maya slowly opened her eyes, and was amazed at the sight before her.
She had drawn what was on her mind.
It was her, a little dream of her in a dog demon form.
"H-How did you know?" Maya asked surprised.
"I didn't. You did this." Akuma said.
Maya laughed amazed.
"This is so beautiful. I thought my drawing was aweful." Maya said.
"Not from what I can see." Akuma said.
"Thank you. You are really a great friend Akuma." Maya said, and without even thinking, she hugged him tightly.
Akuma was shocked at first, but smiled lightly, putting his arms around her.
'Now is my chance.' Akuma thought to himself.
A little tentacle slid out of his body, towards Maya's back, ready to plunge into her heart...
