Chapter 10 - A double Agent?!

After a 15 minutes rest, Ren finally came out to get on with the discussion. But the discussion was somewhere else.

Everything was just surprisingly ridiculous for Kyou.

Here he is, sitting in a lavish private limo, going to have a serious discussion with THE Ren Arakawa, a well known designer, whose sister just HAPPENS to be a demon. And to make it more interesting, he himself is involved in this dilemma!

Kyou and Ae Rin sat across Ren, facing him directly.

Ren kept staring at him intently which made Kyou nervous. He felt like he was about to get killed by his stare.

"Did I do something to him in my past life to deserve this?" He thought to himself.

"Uh...so..I wanted your advice over our situation, brother." Ae Rin breaks the awkward silence.

"Hmm. We do need a strategy. There are two options for us; First, attack them and second, defend yourself and stay like a coward for the rest of your lives." said Ren.

"Either way, we will have to face danger. If you are thinking of the second option, it's obvious that they will track down each and every person involved with us, including our friends, which will make it harder for us to live. So, it's the best to...go with the first option." Kyou interrupted.

Both Ae Rin and Ren were surprised at his decision.

"Oh? And do you think you can pull it off?" Ren asked, while giving him the same cold stare. But this time, Kyou didn't hesitate.

"Why not? After all, we have Servia Aamon with us, right?" he said, matching the cold gaze of Ren.

You seem too confident, however, you're not wrong about Servia Aamon. Now that you've decided on choosing the first option, let me tell you my plan. It's obvious that we can't attack them upfront. So....we need a double agent. Someone simple, with ordinary background and someone they can trust easily....." Ren said, staring knowingly at Kyou. Ae Rin too, looks at him while Kyou is trying to figure out who would be perfect for this.

"Someone simple with ordinary background....Someone simple with ordinary bac-?

Why are you both staring at me? Perhaps, do you already have someone in mind?" He asked.

"Yes, indeed. I m sure he will be perfect for this plan! Why won't he? After all, the chosen one is Kyou himself!" Ren smiles evilly.

"WHAAT!? How am I supposed to-"

"Oh, surely you can..Unless you have a death wish." Ren smirked as he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed at Kyou's forehead.

"Brother! You are scaring him!" Ae Rin shoved the gun from her brother's hand.

"What? Atleast, he should contribute if he wants to get out of this alive." Ren said nonchalantly.

Kyou was speechless but this time he was definitely not going to keep quiet.

"ENOUGH!" Kyou's voice surprised them and they turned to look in his direction.

"Shut up! According to the plan, the best option right now...is obviously me. I will go. But, do you have any idea how am I supposed to gain their trust?" He seemed agitated at first but later he calmed down.

"Great! As for gaining trust, I have a plan. I have been observing their moves for the past few weeks, they haven't attacked us. If I am correct, they want to take me from somewhere isolated. Because of Prine, it's hard for them to get to me when I am among many people." said Ae Rin.

"What is Prine?" Kyou asked.

"Prine is my ability to merge my demonic aura with normal human beings when I am around a number of people. This helps me to fake my identity when they try to track me down." she continued, "So, what I'm planning to do is set up a trap for them. I will send my clone with you to an isolated area. The clone will have the same features as mine, but the only thing that will differ is that it won't have a real aura. But it will be enough to make them think that it's me. As soon as they lay a finger on my clone, it will disappear and you will be taken with them since you would have witnessed far too much. And then, the rest will depend on you."

"Make sure not to make any mistakes, Kyou. They are very dangerous so be careful." Ren warns him and places a hand on his shoulder.

"Let's do this!"
