I was following Ishino's womanizer boyfriend but i got caught by them.
"Hey do you know this girl?"
"Oh yeah, she's Ishino's nerd friend. Hey how about we go for a date and don't tell this to Ishino?"
The girl he's with reacted.
"You're with me today aren't you?"
He slapped the woman...
"Shut up bitch! Hey guys take her i don't care i'll take care of this girl."
He touched my face as if he's going to make a move on me.
I closed my eyes and suddenly...
Ishino: Can you not touch my friend you trash?
"Oh damn! I got caught now."
Ishino: I loved you but... you're a trash and a fake.
"I only acted this way because i thought you might be a good asset to my women collection if you were head over heels for me."
Ishino: Too bad you chose the wrong woman.
"No matters. Do what you want to them boys."
They ganged up on us. Ishino tried to fight them but in the end they took us to a place tied us up, tried to rape us. Ishino was struggling. It hurts. While they have fun. We managed to untie and ran as fast as i could. They manage to see us and chased us. Ishino tripped and hurt her ankle. She had her phone with her hidden as she calls the police. I tried to help her up and then...
"Stop right now!"
All i heard was a gun shot. I saw Ishino, covered in blood as she hugs me from behind. She lost too much blood...
Ishino: Hurry! Get out of here...
I kept on crying and didn't know what to do.
Ishino: Run and live Maika... get stronger and save yourself. Don't cry i'll be with you..
I ran away... I was crying. She saved me, she died for me. She was my savior. I loved her. They took her away from me.
"Stop right there nerdy."
He shot my knees.
"Let's play more."
He looked scary. I'm only a 3rd year middle schooler, this is too much, but Ishino saved me just to get caught again? I don't want to! If only i was stronger!
Suddenly a black cat looked at me.
"Do you want to get stronger?"
Maika: Who are you? Why are you talking? Where are you? Help Ishino please!
"She's dead. She can't be returned. She's weak that's why she died."
Maika: She's not! Don't say that when you don't even know her.
"Fine, but she's still weak! But you can be stronger. Strong enough to beat her and all this guys here."
Maika: Just help me i'll do anything. Just help me, help us.
"Even if you sell your soul to a devil?"
Maika: I would do anything! Please...
"Very well. I shall take over your body."
After that the guy was still coming after me. then i lose conscience.
"Hey nerdy come on."
"Fine fine... i'm standing up now."
"How?! I shot you on your knees?!"
"Are you strong?"
"What are you?"
"You don't look strong. Then die!"
I didn't know what was happening but i had a dream that i haven't noticed yet that it was real. I burned the guy into ashes.
"Everyone single one here is weak. Howling blade!"
I burned the entire thing down and not a single one of them are left. Not even Ishino's body...
"You're a monster!"
Those were the last words a heard.
When i woke up I was in a shrine. I was still in my uniform.
"You're awake now i see."
Maika: Who are you?
Shaina: Oh my apologies. I have taken over your body as a vessel, my name is Shaina looking forward to be with you.
I know i said that i'll avoid extra ordinary but it keeps coming to me...
Maika: I'm Harima Maika.
Shaina: I know. And from now on. You're my vessel.
Maika: What exactly happened? Where's Ishino?
Shaina: She burned along with the guys. All of them were weak.
Maika: So it wasn't a dream...
Shaina: Well, you said you wanted my help didn't you?
Maika: I know. I couldn't save her.
Shaina: Because you're weak.
Maika: I know that. What can i do? I'm worthless.
Shaina: Not anymore.
Maika: What do you mean?
Shaina: See for yourself.
My wounds were gone. I lost my glasses but i can see clearly.
Maika: What? Why did you even help me?
Shaina: Well, i needed someone to be a vessel and i found a black cat so i manifested on it. Only high ranking devils can do that though. Anyways, you and me are now partners in crime. You can't go back to the life you used to lived.
Maika: What are you talking about?
Shaina: I can help you get stronger, in return you'll help me achieve my goals and missions.
Maika: I can get stronger?
Shaina: If you agree to our terms, you'll be strong enough to protect anyone who's weak and take care of them. I'm using you and you're using me as well. Fair deal right?
Maika: I'll do anything to get stronger. Okay, you have a deal. I'll follow what i think is right.
Shaina: Do you want to become stronger even if you become evil?
Maika: If it's going to keep everyone safe and i can save anyone who's within my reach i'll do it.
Shaina: I'm counting on you. We'll have a lot ahead of us so be ready.
Maika: I'll do my best.
That day completely changed my whole life. A deal with a devil. Ishino, i'm acting the way i think is right. I'll protect everyone that i can reach. So someday when we meet you'll be proud of me.
