She swear she could feel the thing devour her, when she suddenly smelled cinders. And she knew she was safe.
She opened her eyes only to find herself on the embrace of the Red reaper.
He looks worried sick.
RED: You were having a nightmare.
Gabby pushes him softly, embarrassed that he was closer than ever before.
Red gets the signal, then stands to leave.
He was about to go, when a hand wraps around on his wrist.
GABBY: Sorry.
She said while looking the other way.
Red only smiles, then looks back at her. He couldn't help but give her a pat.
He then leaves without a word.
Gabby tried to sleep, but her heart's thumping won't let her be. She squeeled inside her mind and the look of Red's handsome features kept popping up. Gosh! She's like a child, excited for ice cream.
She looked at her left, and grabbed her phone resting on her table.
She opened her Wi-Fi and decided to just read stories online. That might help her take off her thoughts on him.
But it didn't work.
None worked.
She still feels warm after everything.
...
Jinko strolls the Tokyo streets irritably. It had been two months since he last saw Humility and his friends. He knew sacrificing himself for a fight he isn't certain would be won, will make Jane's death rather useless.
He planned on getting a rare item from the demons.
The everstone.
Female demons are the only ones who have them. Demons may trick people with their wit, but Jinxis are much wittier and could easily fool them, after all, they're death's illegal workers.
Jinko smiled after spotting a female DEMON disguised as a human woman.
He waits until the woman leaves the bar.
She was a high level DEMON.
Her horns(invisible to human eyes) are long and plated in gold. She must have at least three everstones.
So...
Why do Jinko needs these stones anyways?
Everstones keep the demons looking young forever. They also make sure that they can shift into any form they want. But...using one everstone to an enemy, could also weaken and devour the power of the attacked, for at least 30 days.
Jinko haven't seen a female demon since he found Gabby.
They were quite rare.
And would only show themselves if they're powerful enough to handle other spiritual beings.
Jinko changes his face to hide his true identity, before approching the beautiful demon, with of course the help of a drug he takes, which by the way, is also stolen by yours truly.
Rather than his original long white hair, he gave himself a black short hair. His ocean blue eyes, turned into orange. And his dark skin, turned into a lighter complexion. Now he seems ready.
He walks to her casually, and began to smooth to talk her.
The female demon may have been thirsty for company, for she looks easily flustered by his words. Seeing how easily effective his advances are, he began to ask her about her name.
She was Anastacia.
He pretends to be amused and complimented her lovely name. She blushed and asked about his. He introduces his self as Carlito.
Jinko holds her hand and they began to talk all night.
They went on like that, dating and such for the next three months.
And when he's sure that the demon is already head over heels for him, he began to change his strategy and use her love against herself.
JINKO: There's this guy I really need to defeat.
ANASTACIA: Oh my, what's he like?
JINKO: It doesn't matter. He's ruthless and that's all you ever need to know. I really need something powerful that would suck his abilities and will enable me to finally defeat him.
ANASTACIA: Like my everstones?
JINKO: But those are very rare and needs a thousand years to have.
ANASTACIA: I have three. Take one. It's okay. So long as my little bird is happy. I can help you to in your battle too. I doubt you can do it yourself...well, not that I think you're weak~
Jinko smiles and takes the glowing stone from her.
He kisses her lips and then vanishes.
He switches back to his old face and grins to himself.
Such a rare item.
Only to be handed by a love strucked demon to him so casually.
The demon however, after finding out about such treachery, decided to find the guy and kill him.
To a bad luck of some guy who looks exactly like Jinko's pretend identity, life is over as the female demon finally found him.
ANASTACIA: Carlito! You bastard! Why did you leave me?!
???: I...I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just new here!
ANASTACIA: F*CKING LIES! NOW DIE!
The poor man's body burned and Anastacia never went back to the mortal realm again...
