Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Secrets

Sora's P.O.V

My body felt heavy, as I felt like I was surrounded by darkness. I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep, but it felt like there was something I needed to do. Something that kept bothering me. "Sora Shouko huh? You have an interesting last name. A name that's only given to a select few, just who are you." Said a voice in my head, at first I didn't recognize it, then in a split second It sounded familiar. It was Higetsu's voice, I tried to open my eyes, but they wouldn't open. Images of a forest flashed in my mind, with the pentagram on my neck flashing. "A forest? I see that's where the truth is, very interesting, now just who are you truly?" Higetsu's voice said again, as it felt like something was going through my mind, till it felt like something hit me. "What?" He said, with the same feeling of him hitting something in my mind, my hands moved on their own, making fists and having my nails dig into my skin. "A block, are you blocking this portion of your mind from me?!" Higetsu yelled as he hit it again with even more power, causing my nails to go even deeper in my hand, with blood slowly dripping from my hand. "I see, you are not blocking me from seeing this portion of your mind, you didn't even block it, it's blocked even from you, meaning someone put this in your mind." Higetsu eventually stopped hitting whatever he was trying to force his way through, as I felt my nails leave my skin. Just then I heard a voice in my head, not Higetsu's someone else's. "Sora… Please don't leave me alone…" It was Mia's voice, her voice was soft, it sounded like she was crying. I wanted to move, to hug her, tell her it's all ok, but my body wouldn't move. "Mia… I'm ok… I'm right here…"

I then saw a bright light, as it slowly blew away the darkness around me. "I can't believe I'm helping you, when you have made a contract with his kind." The voice sighed softly. "Well, this will be the only time, because of how much you risked to save her. Keep her safe, and maybe we shall meet in the future, Sora Shouko, of the legendary Shouko family." When the voice quit talking the light got brighter and brighter, till eventually my eyes opened to see a light above me. I slowly moved my hand above my eyes, to block the light. "Ugh… what happened…" I slowly sat up, to notice that my clothing was that of a hospital. I heard someone walk towards me. "Well now, look who's awake." I looked towards the person talking to me, to see a nurse smiling. "Who are you?" I asked in a soft voice, like I haven't talked in days. "My name is Liz." She said smiling a bit, while looking at some paperwork. "You've been sleeping for quite some time." I was confused a bit when she said that. "U-Um miss Liz where am I?" She looked at me. "Oh yeah I forgot you weren't awake when you put in our care." I tilted my head slightly, confused. "You're in the hospital right now, you've been here for about three to four days now. You were in a coma like state." I looked down slightly. "Three or four days… I was asleep for that long?.." Liz sat down in her chair. "You barely lived, you lost so much blood. I'd say that's why you were asleep for that long, risking your life to save one girl huh?" I jumped when she said that. "H-How did you know about that?" She looked back down at her paperwork. "The girl that came with you when you were admitted here, Mia was her name I think. She told me what happened to you, how you risked your life to keep her safe. I'm impressed that you went that far to keep her safe, to put yourself in this state for her." I looked at her slightly, with her just looking through paperwork. "Is Mia ok?" I asked softly with me noticing Liz smiling. "Yes, she's ok. She has visited you a few times, while you were in your coma state. She would talk for hours, about her day, what she learned in class, what she did, and right before she leaves, she would cry, and say sorry to you." I flinched slightly, looking at a mirror in front of me. "Why would she say sorry…?" Liz stood up, and walked to the bed I was on, sitting down on it. "Because she blamed herself for you ending up in here, she thinks you did this for her, and you harmed yourself to save her, only to nearly die. It tore her apart." I looked down, as I felt my eyes swell up, with tears forming. "I caused her this much pain…"

"Look, you both are blaming yourself, she'll be here for another visit in a few minutes. She doesn't know you are awake." I looked at Liz to see her smile at me. I nodded slowly, smiling back as best as I can. "Sooo, I know i'm changing the subject, but do you have a girlfriend?" I felt my face flush with my cheeks turning red. I shook my head quickly, while I couldn't bring myself to say anything. "So let me get this straight, a seventeen boy who's almost eighteen, doesn't have a girlfriend?" I nodded a bit while blushing a bit. "U-Um why are you asking me these questions?" She just smiled a bit. "Is it wrong to ask the one who was put under my care, these kinds of questions? And" She slowly leaned in closer to me, causing my face to flush a bit more. "After everything I heard, and read about you, you seem like my type, both in personality, and looks." She pressed herself against me a bit, licking my neck. My body shivered a bit, as I put my hands on her shoulders, pushing her away. "H-Hey w-we just met and I think you are a great woman and all, but like I said we just met and I" Before I could finish my sentence, I felt her lips against mine. "H-Hmm?!" I tried to push her away, but I couldn't muster the strength as she leaned on me, kissing me and pressing her chest against me. Eventually I fell back, with her falling on top me, still pressing her lips on mine, I tried my best to push her back, but the longer we kissed, the more my body was gradually getting used to it. Her phone rang on her desk, with her parting her lips from mine. I was panting looking up at her, as she got off of me. "Well that ruined the mood, and I was just getting into the kiss with you." I heard Liz sigh after saying that, standing up and walking to her phone, picking it up. "Hello? Oh she's here? She's early, well have her come up, I'll go ahead and leave." She hung up the phone and turned to face me. "Well looks like the girl who came with you here is coming up to visit you. I can't be in here while she talks to you, due to her mom's request so I'll see you later." She looked at me smiling, as I noticed she winked at me, before leaving. I was laying in the bed, the same position as I was when she kissed me, thinking. "She kissed me… She took my first kiss." I sat up, with the door opening to a girl with deep blue hair, and golden eyes walking in. It was Mia, with her looking at me, like it's been years since she saw me.

We just looked at each other, for what felt like forever. I didn't know what to say, I was in a coma state for three to four days while she suffered. I opened my mouth to say something, but I was forced down on my bed again. It took me a second to realize Mia had tackled me, and was now hugging me, with tears in her eyes. I looked down at her, as I felt her tears hit my arm. "Mia…" Was the only thing I could say before she said. "I-I thought I would never see you awake again… I thought I lost you Sora…" She slowly looked up at me, with tears in her eyes. I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her. "Hey now don't cry, I'll always be here for you, I'll always come back to you." She pressed herself against me crying, I just helped her in my arms. After a few minutes passed, she sat up, breaking the hug. We just looked at each other for a bit, not saying anything to each other. "Mia… Is your mom and sister ok?" She slowly nodded. "Yeah… My mom has been worried about you since you were admitted here, and Rose… she felt bad for what she said to you… when she got mad." I looked at Mia, with her just looking down. "Mia… wanna do something crazy?" When I said that, she looked at me, as I smiled. "W-What do you mean crazy?" She asked as I slowly got out of bed, with my legs giving out on me, as I fell to the ground. "S-Sora! A-Are you ok?" I faced her, and smiled slowly forcing my body to stand up. "Y-Yeah, just haven't moved in three or four days." I said laughing a bit, rubbing the back of my head. I held out my hand. "Let's go." She looked at before moving her hand to take mine. "W-Where are w-we go-" I quickly ran out of the room holding her hand, I felt she almost fell, but quickly regained her balance again. We ran past her mother and sister, as her mom said something, but I couldn't hear her. We eventually reached the entrance of the hospital, running out the door. We stopped just outside the entrance, with Mia breathing a bit, looking at me, I looked back to her, smiling, seeing her smile. Finally we are back together, and I'll keep her safe, till the day I die.

Mia's P.O.V.

We were now outside, with Sora and me smiling at each other. "S-Sora I missed you." I heard him laugh softly. "It's been what three or four days? That's nothing for you right little one?" I lightly hit his shoulder, smiling he looked up breathing in the air. "Sorry, I missed you too little one." I looked at him, as I felt my body hug him, like I have been dying to do this. He slowly hugged me back gently, for about a minute we hugged not saying anything, till my mom and sister came running out of the entrance. We quickly broke our hug, and faced them. "So this is where… you two went." My mom said, as she was breathing hard, as Sora laughed slightly. "Y-Yeah, sorry if we worried you ma'am." My sister sighed softly, walking up to him. "Look, you shouldn't be up and moving like this! You just woke up from a coma, and you are already pushing your body!" Rose yelled slightly causing Sora to back up a bit, with his hair moving letting me see what looked like a deep crimson red circle. "I-I know Rose. I-I'm sorry." He said looking down. "I know I should be resting right now…" Rose sighed softly, as she hugged him, which of course caused him to jump slightly. "You stupid idiot, we almost lost you… Just be more careful ok?..." Sora smiled hugging back gently. "Yes, I will be ok." My sister started to cry slightly, as my mom joined in the hug. "Sora… you are like a son to me… you and your mom have been with us for so long… you are like family to us." I could see tears swell up in mom's eyes. "So what you are saying is you're both ok with incest? Since you wanted me to date your daughter, now you are calling me your son? What a weird family I have now." Sora laughed softly, with my mom actually laughing at that joke he made, and my sister lightly hitting his shoulder. "I mean I wouldn't mind dating you in my sisters place my 'brother'.~" Sora instantly shivered backing away. "Aww don't scare him, we still need him Rose." My mom said with Sora throwing his arms up. "Like I said, I have a weird family now!" This caused me to smile and giggle a bit. "Well we'll go explain what happened to the staff this whole… uhh weirdness." Mom said as she and Rose walked into the hospital again. I walked up to Sora, standing next to him, watching them walk in. "I haven't heard her laugh like that in the past week, thank you." I said, adding something really quickly. "Brother." I quickly backed away, smiling with him looking at me. "Y-You too?! Come-on Mia, it should be father or something, you should know this little one." He smiled lightly, with him grabbing my hand, which caused my face to flush bright red, as he lightly pulled me into the hospital entrance. "We might as well head back in, before we get in even more trouble." I nodded softly. "Y-Yeah, good idea Sora."

We headed inside, walking slowly back to room he was given. "I wonder if i'm going to be here for awhile." He said when we reached his room. "Well, you were in a coma for three to four days, so they will want you to stay, to make sure you are well enough to go home Sora." He sighed softly. "Dammit i'm going to have so much homework now." I could only laugh softly with him looking at me. "W-What's so funny!?" I smiled at him softly. "Nothing Sora, I already handled it, the teachers know what happened, and they said they will not count any assignments or tests against you." He sighed in relief smiling at me. "Thanks little one, you are the best." He patted my head, with me blushing lightly. "Y-Yeah no problem Sora!" We looked at the door to his room. "W-Well Sora I have to go, i'll visit you everyday ok?" He nodded softly. "Yeah I would like that Mia." We smiled at each other, as he walked back into his room. I decided to turn around and meet up with mom and Rose, but when I turned around I saw his doctor, walking to his room. She stopped and looked at me, almost glaring, like I did something wrong. "U-Um is everything ok?" I asked as she scoffed while mumbling something softly that sounded like, "Stay away from him." She walked into his room, closing the door. "Ok what was that about?" I thought to myself to see my mom and Rose walking up to me. "Hey, ready to go home?" My mom asked, with me just nodding. "Yeah, i'm ready, i'm tired and everything." I said softly, as we headed for the exit to go home.

Sora's P.O.V

I sat on the bed in the room I was given, with the door opening and closing. I looked to see who it was, and to my surprise it was the nurse Liz. "Heyo Sora! Had fun with your friend?" She asked, smiling and sitting next to me. "Y-Yeah, I did." I said blushing, remembering when she kissed me. I looked at her, while she was smiling at me. "Is everything ok Sora?" I slightly jumped nodding. "Y-Yeah I'm ok, j-just thinking." I said blushing, and now looking away. I felt her move closer to me slowly, I quickly moved away, causing her to frown slightly. "Are you sure you are ok?" I nodded slowly, not looking at her. "D-Do you know when i'll be able to go home?" I asked as I heard a small sigh. "You'll be able to go home in about two days, that's the longest we can keep anyone under 18." She said standing up from the bed, walking to her desk. I then heard a voice in my head. "It seems you have awakened, welcome back." I looked to my side to see a dark figure in front of the doorway. It looked like he was leaning on the door, I watched as I could slowly see more of him. The shadow-like substance around him faded revealing what looked like to be a 17 year old kid with all black clothing, and pitch black hair, and his eyes were a mix of red and black. He looked at me smirking, still leaning on the wall. "Well now, out of all the contracts i've made, the form I took for you isn't one I was expecting. Most people who see me, think of a monster" He didn't move his mouth, it was like his words were being sent directly to my head. He pulled up his arm, rolling down his jacket sleeve revealing a mark on his arm, a pentagram. It flashed a crimson red color, as my neck started to burn a bit. Both my pentagram and his were flashing the same color. "We share this mark, as due to our contract we are bound to each other till the terms of our contract is complete." I looked at him slightly confused, if he could send his thoughts to me, maybe I could do the same. "Contract? What are you talking about Higetsu?" He smirked as Liz looked towards me. "Is he a friend of yours Sora?" I slightly jumped looking at Liz. "I-I Uhh." I couldn't think of anything to say, when Higetsu said. "Friend? We recently just met, so I wouldn't call him a friend but I was… worried about him so I came to check up on him." He said smiling softly, rolling down his sleeve. "Well i'll see you later." He said opening the door to leave, and right as he was about to close the door I heard his voice in my head. "Master." Then the door closed, leaving me here with Liz.

About two days have passed now, and I was finally going to be discharged from the hospital, and I was grateful for that because my nurse seemed to be trying to get closer and closer each day. I grabbed my bag, and threw my jacket on, looking out the window. "Finally going home, I wonder if mom is ok… haven't seen her in two whole days" I looked down at my shoes, my mom has not visited me once since I woke up, and it's worrying me. I heard a knock on my door as I looked at the door. "Come in." The door opened, as Liz walked in. "Hey, you ready to leave?" I nodded slowly getting up and walking to the door with my bag in hand. "Yeah, i'm ready." I walked out the door, with Liz following me, after about a minute of walking I noticed someone waiting at the front desk, with deep blue hair, and golden eyes. "Hmm, Sora!" I watched as Mia ran to me, hugging me tightly. I smiled hugging her back, rubbing her head. "Hey little one, miss me." She nodded looking up at me smiling. "Of course I missed you, we all missed you!" I couldn't help but ruffle her hair slightly, as she made some kind of cute noise trying to get away. "H-Hey stop it!" I smiled and kept ruffling her hair. "Nope, it's been a whole week since I did this, so get ready!" I saw her blush while I was ruffling her hair, she eventually got free. She turned around and ran to her mom and sister. I smiled running after her. "You won't get away!" Mia ran behind her mom and sister as I stopped in my tracks. "Mom, sis help me! He's ruffing my hair!" I looked at them, as they had a playful glare, with me slowly backing up. "I-I uhh Ima run now ok?" I said as I ran out of the hospital, hearing Mia's mom say to her and her sister. "Go get him." As soon as I left the hospital I could hear both Mia and Rose running after me. "You won't get away from us!" Rose yelled, as they were catching up to me, the reason I can tell they are getting closer is because of their footsteps and I'm somehow slower than them. I ran past a tree, tripping on a root falling flat on my face, rolling on to my back. The moment I landed on my back I saw both Mia and Rose above me. "U-Uh hey Rose, Mia w-what brings you here?" I asked nervously and slightly laughing, not moving. I saw them slowly bend over smiling. Mia was wearing a light blue shirt, with deep blue pants, while her sister is wearing a purple and green shirt, a purple jacket and purple pants. Both of their hair is blue, but Rose dyed her hair to be a mixture between purple and green. I watched as both of their hair fell over their faces. "Oh I don't know, maybe to get pay back for you ruffling Mia's hair." I gulped slightly as Rose leaned on my arms and body to stop me from getting away. "Get him Mia!" She nodded as slowly put her hands in my hair, and started ruffling it. "H-Hey Mia stop." She didn't listen as she kept ruffling my hair as her someone with pitch black hair walked over.

"I see you are having Sora." I instantly recognized the voice as Mia and Rose looked at him. I looked up seeing Higetsu in the same clothes from two days ago, seeing him smile. "Do you know him Sora?" Rose asked me, as Higetsu said. "Yeah we know each other." Higetsu held out his hand. "I'm Higetsu, it's nice to meet you." Rose got off of me, and shook his hand gently. "I'm Rose, and this is my younger sister, Mia." Mia stayed on me, smiling and waving. "Mia and Rose huh? Interesting names." Rose shook her head a bit, still smiling. "You talk about our names being interesting, but your name is more interesting than ours. What kind of name is Higetsu?" He looked at her, then Mia, then finally me, as I could see that weird smirk again from two days ago. "My name comes Japan, where I use to live." This seemed to interest Rose. "Your from Japan? What's it like?" Higetsu smilled. "Well it's very crowded, busy, kinda noisy, but if you look close enough you can see it's beauty." I then heard his voice in my head. "Too bad you humans are destroying its beauty." Rose seemed really interested then asked. "Then how did you get your name?" He looked shocked when she asked that. "My name… I don't remember. I never knew my parents very well, it's been so long since I last seen them." Rose looked confused. "How long could it have been? You don't look no older than 20 maybe younger." Mia got off of me, standing up, as I did the same. I then heard his voice in my head again. "It's been over a few hundred years since I last saw my parents." He looked up slightly. "Well time can make things seem longer than it's actually is." I could see the pain in his face when he said that. "Higetsu, are you ok?" He seemed shocked when I thought that, he looked at me. "Well now, I didn't think you would get use to talking to me like this so quickly." I sighed softly with no one hearing it. "Well it's just sharing certain thoughts with you, it's not that hard." He smiled a bit, but this one was different than the normal smiles he did, he seemed slightly grateful. "Well if you learn this fast, maybe we could be friends." Before I could send another thought I felt Mia pull my sleeve.

"Sora I think we should go." I looked down at her, seeing her face, it had a worried look. "I see, so she has been contacted by her kind, like my kind has contacted you." I looked at him as it seemed Mia was slightly shaking. "Mia… alright we will go." I said, patting her head. "Rose let's go catch up with your mom." I could see Rose pout softly, as I smiled. "Come on let's go." I said walking back towards the hospital, with Mia holding onto me, and Rose not happy, but following us. I looked back to see Higetsu just watching us, smirking. "I see, well then we shall meet again… Master" Higetsu said in my mind before slowly fading away from my sight, we walked for about two minutes till we saw their mom waiting by her car. "There you all are, I was getting worried about you three." She said, smiling gently at us, I smiled back a bit, looking around. "Where's my mom? I thought she would be here, since she didn't visit me once." I saw their mom flinch slightly. "Your mom… How should I put it… She's de-" Mia cut her off. "S-She's away on another trip!" Her mom looked shocked and quickly added. "Y-Yeah she's away on another trip, she could be gone for awhile, so she a-asked us to take you in for awhile." I looked at them tilting my head. "Oh, another trip huh, she's been taking a lot of those lately. That makes sense why she never came to visit, and i'm guessing she took my brother with her, and Kai is most likely visiting his family.." I smiled softly. "So then I guess that makes us family till she gets back, right Phoebe?" Phoebe nodded slowly, looking away. "Y-Yeah it does, o-ok everyone get in, it's time to go home." I nodded as I opened the back seat door, with Mia getting in the back with me, and Rose sitting in the front seat. Eventually I felt the car start up, as Phoebe pulled out of the drive away, and drove us home. I looked out the window, seeing buildings go by, as I felt my eyes get heavy, slowly closing them drifting off to sleep, right before I fell asleep, I heard Higetsu laughing at me.

Mia's P.O.V.

I watched as Sora slowly drifted off to sleep, I smiled as I leaned on him. "Is he asleep?" My mom asked, with me nodding, still leaning on him. "Yes, he's asleep." I looked at Sora seeing his sleeping face, causing me to blush a bit. "H-He's so cute when he sleeps, he's like a baby" He moved a bit, and I jumped a bit, he only moved enough to move his body a bit. "You shouldn't have said that… he needs to know the truth." Rose said, with a serious tone. "What are you talking about sis?" Rose looked back at me, or it seemed like she was, she was actually looking at Sora. "You know what i'm talking about, we can't keep hiding the truth from him…" I looked at Sora slowly. "B-But sis… he's not ready yet…" I looked at Sora's face, with his cute sleeping face. "Then when is he ready?! It's been almost 18 years, we can't keep this secret from him!" I flinched slightly as my mom said. "Don't yell at your sister Rose." I saw Rose glare at Sora slightly as he was still asleep. "Mia, Rose is right… He's almost 18, and he's already been contacted by them. There's only so much we can do now, he already formed a contract with it, it's dangerous enough to have him near us now…" Every word she said felt like small daggers in my heart, she couldn't be thinking of leaving him, could she? "B-But we can't leave him! W-We took a vow to keep him safe!" I saw mom and Rose flinch slightly. "I-I know Mia… and that vow still stands, it seems like what ever made the contract has yet to take control of him yet… which means that it's still being blocked." I looked down slightly, as mom kept driving, eventually stopping at a red light. "Mia we have to tell him, and you know it. It's for his own good." I looked at Sora, with a few tears forming in my eyes. "F-Fine… just can we wait a week or two more?..." Mom sighed and Rose groaned slightly. "Fine, one more week, no more." I smiled and looked out the window, with the light turning green, and cars passing us. When mom was about to start driving I thought I saw Higetsu looking at the car, then a car passed by him, with him disappearing, and mom continuing to drive home.

After about thirty-five minutes we arrive home, slowly pulling into the driveway. Mom stops the car, turning it off, with her and Rose getting out. I looked at Sora, who was still asleep, I slowly reached for his arm, shaking him gently. "Mmm…" I heard him make a noise as he moved a bit, slowly opening his eyes. "Hey… Sleep well?" I asked in a soft voice, with him nodding. "Yeah, I needed that nap." He said stretching a bit, and yawning. "H-He's so cute when he wakes up!" I saw him open the car door stepping out, as he held out his hand to me. "Come-on little one, we should go in before they think we are up to something." He said with a soft smile. "D-Damnit Sora! W-Why do you have to be both kind and cute!!" I slowly take his hand as he pulls me out of the car, barely able to keep my footing. I lost my balance falling on Sora, knocking us both down to the ground, Sora was on the ground while I was on top of him. "Well now, I didn't see this coming." He said laughing softly, like he doesn't have a care in the world. "So little one, now that you have me on the ground, what do you plan to do?" I felt my face flush as he said that, with me jumping up. I could hear his laugh again, as he stood up, wiping off the dirt of his jacket. "I-I'm sorry Sora!" I said slightly bowing, with him patting my head gently. "It's ok little one, now let's go inside." I looked up at him, seeing him smile with his black hair blowing in the wind, feeling my face flush. "O-Ok Sora." I looked down slightly as Sora turned to walk to the door, with me following him. "We have to tell him… I only have one week left with Sora…" As we reached the door I saw Sora look back smiling, with him taking my hand. "Time to go in." I nodded as he opened the door, walking in and gently pulling me in with him.

Sora's P.O.V

I walked into my new home as I noticed Mia's Mom, Phoebe, and Rose are sitting down on the couch. "Hey there, what are you two up to?" I asked walking over, seeing them both jump a bit looking back. "O-Oh nothing Sora." It looked like Phoebe hid something behind her, smiling a bit. "Okay then? So where am I going to sleep? I don't mind sleeping on the couch." Phoebe and Rose looked at each other, before nodding. "Well you can share a room with Mia for a bit." I felt Mia jump slightly, I decided to look back at her, seeing her blush. "Will that be ok for us to share a room?" I asked looking back towards Rose and Phoebe, seeing Phoebe nod. "Yeah I don't mind, besides I don;t want you sleeping on the couch." I smiled looking down at Mia. "Wel, looks like we are roommates." I saw her blush nodding, smiling a bit. "Y-Yeah, looks like it!" I saw her smiling face, as I looked out the window, noticing something weird. "What is that?" I saw something with pitch black eyes looking directly at me, with a smile that sent shivers down my spine. What I saw was a person with bright red hair and what looked like burn marks all over his skin, and his pitch black eyes, that felt like they were looking into my soul. "Sora? Are you ok?" I heard Mia ask me, with me looking at her. "Y-Yeah i'm fine Mia, just was a little shaken by the person outside." I said looking back at the window, to see that no one was there. "Sora who are you talking about?" I didn't respond for a second as thoughts were racing through my mind. I felt Mia shake me a bit. "Sora are you ok…?" I looked at her slowly nodding. "Y-Yeah I-I'm ok Mia, I think the nap I took wasn't enough." I said smiling a bit. "I'm going to lay down in our room for a bit." I looked at Mia to see some worry in her face before she nodded. I just smiled walking towards Mia's and my room, closing the door. I slowly breathed in, as I walked to Mia's bed before laying down. I closed my eyes slowly trying to fall to sleep, as I then heard a voice laugh a bit. "I notice you can see them now?" I quickly jumped out of the bed, nearly falling down, looking forward to see Higetsu leaning against the wall. "Higetsu, how did you get in here?!" I slightly yelled as I could see his smirk. "I would recommend not using your voice, you never know who may be listening." I sighed softly just looking at him. "Just tell me how you got in here, and how in the hell did you even get here, we drove for like thirty-five minutes to get here." I heard his laugh in my head, as he stopped leaning on the wall. "Do you not remember the mark on my arm? The one that binds us together?" I tilted my head slightly as the memory flashed in my head, of him pulling his sleeve down revealing a crimson red pentagram on his arm. "Yeah I remember." I felt my neck heat up, like it was slightly burning. I quickly grabbed my neck as the heat built up. "W-What have you done?!" I slightly demanded as he walked to me slowly. "What have I done? I haven't done anything to you." I looked at him to see his eyes flash a deep crimson red, and his demonic smirk. "All I have done is make a contract with you, I gave you my power, I helped you save your friend." He said stopping in front of me, as I felt my neck burn like it was being touched by fire. "C-Contract what do you mean by that?!" I fell to my knees in pain gripping my neck. "I mean you made a contract with my kind." I looked up at him, his eyes now a deep crimson red. "Y-Your kind?" He smirked as I saw what looked like a shadowy substance form around him. "Yes, don't you know? I'm sure you heard of us, i'm sure you also know of angels, my kind is the other side of an angel." I felt my neck burn even more as i yelled in pain. His words echoed in my mind, as he said. "I'm a demon." I felt my body fall to the ground as my eyes closed, falling into what felt like darkness.
