"How long have you.. ya know.. been dealing with demons..?" Misaki asked.
It took a moment for Megumi to think about it. "Hmm... Well I've been seeing them since I was 10 but started fighting them when I was 12. It's quite satisfying to crush their skulls in and obliterate their brains." She giggles.
Something is wrong with this girl.
"Well.. if that's all that you have to ask, I should take you home then." Megumi and Misaki got up,walking side by side.
"This is totally insane! Stuff like this doesn't happen." Yes, Misaki was still in doubt.
"You know how in anime shows, people just suddenly flip out and slaughter their entire families and pets? Well it's because they have a demon inside of them that got out of control." Megumi gave a bizzare example.
"I'm sorry, but I'm really having trouble getting my head around this."
"Well you better get your pretty little head around it and quick, because you're on their radar now."
"Their radar?" Misa asked.
"Yep. Since me and you can see them for what they really are, we can expose them. Make em' crap in their diapers. As long as they've existed, people like us have been hunting them down bashing their pretty little heads in." She said with a slight chuckle.
"How come we can see them?"
"There are many people who can, but theirs definitely less than 30 who exist on this planet. Have you ever slept with a guy with cold semen?"
Misaki looked at Megumi with slight concern. "What? Er... No."
"Well when you ever do, if their semen is cold, it's a major warning sign. That guys a demon." Megumi says.
"Well if I'm checking the temperature, it's probably too late."
Megumi busted out laughing. "Right, right. I mean, who the hell is gonna carry a semen thermometer around? Anyways, where are we going? I'm just following you."
"We're walking to my brothers house. I'm gonna spend the night with him."
Megumi nods. "Well you better find a lie as to why there's blood on you—and please do not use the "Red Paint" lie. I have to go to my psychiatrist in the morning, wanna hang out tomorrow evening , hopefully around sunset?"
"I can't. I have part time work. Maybe some other time."
"It's cool. I get it, you have a life." She pinched Misaki's nipple for her own unknown reasons.
"Ow!" She pushes her hand away.
"I've should have pinched your arm. Next time."
Misaki stayed quiet.
"You don't believe me?"
"I was kind of going with. Since you see a psychiatrist, I was under the impression that you aren't crazy but that nipple pinch just gave me some doubts."
Megumi raised her eyes brows. "You think I'm crazy?"
"Everyone thinks you're crazy, apparently."
She scoffs. "If I'm crazy, you're crazy too."
"You think I don't know that? Megumi, I've spent my entire life thinking I'm crazy. Did you already forget?"
"You.. just need some time to get your head around all of this." She pulls out a marker and pulls Misaki's sleeve up, writing her phone number on her skin.
"Call me anytime except for Tuesday's throughly Thurdays because I'm actually at school. Peace." She gave Misaki the peace sign as she walked away and eventually disappeared into the night sky.
~The Next Day~
Hanayashiki Amusment Park
11:20pm
Yes, I work at an Amusement Park. It's a decent job. It's a nice feeling when you get to entertain people and be responsible for their good day.
Everyone has left hours ago but Misaki stayed behind because why not? The sky was dark and the park was illuminating everything up until she shut all the lights off. Misaki was always kind of scared being in dark open spaces alone, because anything could come at her. As she got ready to leave, she heard music and turned around.
The Ferris wheel was spinning. "What the hell?" She quickly runs and turns it off. It wasn't long before the Carousel was activated and went around. She had to run and turn that off as well but it didn't turn off. No matter how many times she flipped the switch to make it work, the ride kept going around and the music with it kept playing. "Ah shit, it someone messing with me?" She asked herself.
"If someone is here, you need to leave! The amusement park is closed but you can come back tomorrow!" She yelled out. She felt as if a pair of eyes were staring straight at her so her reflexes caused her to turn around, coming in contact with a woman. Misaki immediately picked up that she was a demon. "What do you want? Go away.." Her voice shook with fear, especially since she doesn't have a weapon to kill her. "You're a Senkensha; a seer."
"I-I have known idea what you're talking about."
"Don't play dumb with me girl. I know you know what we are."
"Like I said, I don't know what you're...talking about!" Misaki threw a bag of balls at the woman and started to run into the main building. The demon was sidetracked with the balls for a second before running after her.
Misaki ran into the bowling area and dived under the pinsetter, wriggling with struggle to get inside. The demon managed to grab her by the ankle and pull her out, keeping that ankle in her grasp.
"I'll kill you and bring master! I can't wait to see the look on his face!" She said as she prepared to kill Misaki with a bowling ball. Just before she could land the hit, Misaki kicked her in the face with her free leg. "Ungh!" She fell down and gave Misa an opportunity to escape, which she took. She ran into the locker room and quickly shut the door then proceeded to hide behind the shelved filled with bowling pins. The door swung wide open. "Come out come out wherever you are!"
The hair on Misaki's back was standing, her butt cheeks clenched and her breathing stiffened. The demon slowly made her way up the lockeroom alley. The farther into it she got, the closer she got to Misaki. She placed her hands over her mouth, mentally praying to the gods that she'd live to see tomorrow. Coincidentally, the demon stopped in front of the three sided shelf that she was hiding inside of. Those were the longest 22 seconds of her life until
"AHHH!"
A hand grabbed Misaki by the neck and choked her. She struggled to get out of its grasp until she bit it.
"Fuck!" Misaki ran out the back door and out onto the other side of the rode where a car almost hit her. Unfortunately (Fortunately for Misaki though), the car managed to the demon and sent her flying. Misaki sat on the sidewalk and caught her breath. "Oh my god! Are you okay?!" The driver got out of the car and asked as he sprinted over to the woman that he had hit. The guy looked familiar from behind because of his red hair. He quickly pulled out his phone to call the ambulance. Misaki recognized the pink bear charm hanging from it. He was her last priority right now. She quickly pulled out her phone and rolled her sleeve up to dial Megumi's phone number. She anxiously awaited an answer.
"Hi this is Megumi leave a message after the tone." Beeep.
"A demon! She came after me and someone ran her over and she's dead!... Where are you?" She sounded panicked. "Right, it's a Wednesday school night. You're probably asleep right now. Call me." She hung up the phone and went over to the red haired guy as ambulance trucks approached. "Yuichiro..?"
The guy turned around startled.
It is Yuichiro! **Misaki's male best friend & friend with benefits ;) ***
"Oh my god it is you... are you okay?" She sat next to him with the dead body.
"... I just took away someone's life... so no, I'm not okay. I'm officially going to hell." He looked down.
A paramedic woman brought Misaki over to the truck and questioned her. Yuichiro stayed sitting next to the body, staring at in and being drowned in guilt. "Oh my god. What if she was somebody's mother..?" His eyes started to burn as they were tearing up. His vunerable state was the perfect vessel to possess. While being questioned, Misaki a bad feeling, as if she should pull Yuichiro away from the body. She looked over, and she could see a dark cloud like appearance go from the corpse and into Yuichiro. She hoped she was seeing things. After being questioned, she was allowed to go home.
She wanted to talk to Yuichiro, so she walked to his house. Once she arrived, she slipped her hand under the mat and felt a key. "Gotcha." She grabbed it and opened the door. Yuichiro lived alone in a relatively big condo and always kept it nice and tidy. She went to his room and looked for the extra pair of pajamas that she wore whenever the slept over. She felt it and pulled it out of the closet. "Good as new."
She showered then changed into it. She used his big full sized mirror that came with his bureau to look at what she's doing. She finished and looked down at what appeared to be a picture of him and his dad having a good time. It was sweet to her, being that she never knew her dad.
Okay let me rephrase that.
She doesn't remember her dad because he left when she was 1 and never stayed in touch with her mom.
She heard a light pair of footsteps in the doorway. She turned around. "Oh, Yuichiro you're back sooner than I thought."
"Yeah.. they didn't press any charges luckily." Something seemed off about him.
"Are you okay? You seem a little pale. Maybe we should go to the hospital?" She set the picture back down we and fully turned her body.
"...I'm fine. Honestly."
"That good.." Misa turned back around to the mirror and tied her hair up in a ponytail then did a small skincare routine.
Yuichiro quietly took off his belt and then walked up behind her with it. "Do you need a belt with those..?" He asked, referring to her pajamas.
She stopped wiping her face and turned around with a concerned expression. "A belt? With my pajamas? Who wears a belt with their pajamas? Don't be weird." She turned back around to the mirror and started applying some cream to her face.
He got closer to her.
He's giving off a strange aura.. I don't like it.
"Yuu... are you—" She was cut off. Yuichiro swiftly wrapped his belt around her neck and squeezed it as hard as he could. She coughed and tried to pull it off. In the mirrors reflection, he saw that he looked like a demon. He had one horn growing out of his head and another one forming. His skin was pale and looked like it was burning... of course if they were in public, she'd be the only one who can see that.
"See? You can wear a belt with pajamas dumbass!"
How did this happen? I know he's a human!
She couldn't speak. Her throat was about to be crushed. She was struggling and showing signs of resistance. She slightly bent forward, bringing the possessed Yuichiro off of his feet. With all the strength she has, she slammed him into to the wall, creating a loud THuMp!
"You're gonna have to do better than that to harm me princess." He managed to squeeze a little tighter and slammed her into the bureau.
C'mon Misaki! Think quick or you'll be killed!!
A bottle of cologne was within her reach. If she could grab it, she could spray it into Yuichiro's eyes and buy her some time. She stretched her hand out as far as she could to where here fingertip was barely touching it. She tried to move just a few more centimeters. Ah ha! She grabbed onto it and sprayed it into his eyes. "Ah shit!" She let go of her and dropped to the ground, yelling from the burning pain in his eyes. Misaki got the belt off of her neck and ran into the bathroom slamming the door shut and locking it. Yuichiro walked down the hallway of his house, checking every last room. "Come out come out wherever you are, you little bitch." He put his hand on the doorknob to the bathroom and tried to turn it but couldn't. He jiggles it some more and scoffs lightly. He then started shaking it violently.
She backed away from the door, feeling as if he could break it down at any moment. He finally stopped...
A whole three minutes went by without a single sound...
Until there was a small knock on the door.
"Misa? What's happening to me? I'm scared." Yuichiro said in a gentle voice from the other side of the door.
"Go away! You're crazy! You just tried to kill me! This isn't you!" She exclaimed.
"What's wrong with me? I don't know what to do. I need your help, Misa."
She stayed quiet.
"Misaki please." He started to jiggle the doorknob violently again. "Open the door. Open it you little bitch"
"Think fast Misaki, think fast! Your life is depending on it right now!"
