Her blood red eyes were quite scary. Rumor has it that if you stare at her blood red eyes, you instantly die. People said before she wasn't born with a Malediction — she asked for one. Her eyes were once a beautiful blue, but turned red because of the deal she made.
Your first question is most likely, 'To who did she make the deal with!?' And your second question is, "What is a 'Malediction?'" And to answer the first question, I personally do not know. Before I go into further detail — let me introduce myself. My name is Tatsuo Noishi, someone who looked directly into the devils blood red eyes — erm... by devil I mean Maishiroi Tenshi.
I let my body sink down to the floor of the pool. At that moment I wanted to drown, I wanted to get out of this poor excuse of a school. Malediction is either something your born with or given to by an Apparition. You don't normally ever see someone ask for a Malediction. It's basically a curse given to children. Sometimes you transform into beings like butterflies or cats, sometimes it's passive and you can't control it when it happens. You could walk by a widow and bam! The glass breaks just by you walking next to it. And there are active Maledictions - something I have. Then there are people with Blessings, but they're a different story.
Suddenly I felt warm hands on the sides of my face. When I open my green eyes, I stare into blood red eyes that could only belong to one person. Maishiroi Tenshi, a girl with an angelic name but has a devilish attitude. Her black hair was like a huge blanket that engulfed the both of us. She didn't smile nor scowl. Maishiroi had an indifferent expression like she was analyzing me before she could show any reaction. Then she opened her mouth. We were underwater so I couldn't hear what she said, but it seemed like she had mouth the word, "Ugly."
I immediately opened my mouth to say something back, but then water filled inside my lungs. I coughed, gasping for air which was stupid since I was underwater. Maishiroi smirked as in she found my struggle to breathe hilarious. She then kissed me, causing my eyes to widen. But it was quick - she had given me air. I quickly escaped from her black blanket to go up to the surface.
"Ack!" I coughed as I reached the surface of the pool. I looked around me but there was no Maishiroi. "There's no way she's still underwater..." I mumbled looking down searching for her figure.
"I'm right here." A soft low voice stated coming from behind me. I let out a high pitched screech, surprised that Maishiroi was even taking to me.
"T-T-T-Tenshi!" I stuttered unsurewhy she would even be talking to me. "You swim." I choked out causing her to tilt her head. She had such an intimidating presence.
"Now was that a question or a statement? You didn't really give me any clues if what you just said was a statement of surprise or a question. I'm going to go on a wild guess and assume it's a question since you don't know anything about me - well I mean you do know my name." She rambled then remembered why she even started talking. "Yes I swim." Maishiroi then realized something. "I don't actually know you... who are you?"
My face immediately showed my disappointment. I was hoping she'd at least know my name - we lived in the same Faction after all. "Tatsuo. Tatsuo Noishi." I muttered with great disappointment. Weirdly enough, Maishiroi's blood red eyes seem to lit up.
"Tatsuo... Ah! Your first name is written like, '龍夫' and your last name... 'Noishi' it's a play on words... 'の意志' means, 'The Will Of' so your fullname should be written... 'の意志龍夫'(No Ishi Tatsuo)." Maishiroi explained coming to the realization. "But it doesn't stop there. Take out the character, '夫' and you're left with, 'の意志龍'(No Ishi Ryū). Which basically means, 'The Will Of Dragon." Maishiroi crossed her arms proud of herself that she figured out the meaning of my name.
Tatsuo was surprised how talkative Maishiroi was. He chuckled a bit. "Well... you would be correct if my first name was spelled with those characters." Tatsuo explained as he scratched his cheek with his wet hand. "My first name is spelled with the characters, '辰夫' My full name is should be spelled, 'の意志辰夫'(No ishi Tatsuo)." Maishiroi looked extremely disappointed after I clarified the spelling of my name. I looked around trying to come up with something interesting. I don't even know how the conversation of what characters made up my name came from. "If- if you take away the, '夫' characte4 out of my name...it becomes 'の意志辰'(No ishi tatsu) Which means 'Your Will'" Maishiroi still looked disappointed. "Your name is pretty interesting-" I was suddenly interrupted by a chain encircling me and Maishiroi.
"What the hell!?" Maishiroi yelled as her blood red eyes widened with fear. She splashed around trying to get the chains off her. I yelled at her to stay still, since the chains would just get tighter but she didn't listen to my warning.
"Jeez, you Malediction Children have a hard time listening. A petite girl said as she sat on the pools small diving boards. She was wearing the school uniform - she had a Crest with a ribbon attached. Only Blessing Children had that specific Crest. "I was sent because that troublemaker Tenshi was getting way too comfortable." The girl said as she crossed her legs. Normally the school skirts were way too short to do that but, the girl had biker shorts underneath. Her brown hair was pulled into two low pigtails. She had thick eyebrows and brown eyes. "Sorry not sorry Tenshi. I gotta take you to the Principal." She chuckled waving her finger. The chain around me was released but it seemed Maishiroi's chain got tighter.
"Hey! She hasn't done anything illegal. Why are you taking-" Suddenly I felt something extremely hard hit my mouth. I tasted blood - she had to have used her chains to hit me in my mouth.
"Shut it. I gotta take this Devil Girl back to her cage. I suggest you mind your business." The girl scowled as she pulled Maishiroi out of the water. Maishiroi glared at her, showing off her sharp teeth. The black haired girl hissed trying to scare the Blessing Child off. "Oh.. my name is Yume Momoka." The brunette informed walking away with Maishiroi forcefully.
