Hello, I'm Kurai.
And I'm in big trouble.
I sat next to that girl, who I still don't know her name, for a whole month! and we didn't talk at all, she just sits there, staring at the board, she doesn't write or answer the questions, not that the teachers would ever ask her to answer, I never heard her voice, and I don't think it's that normal to not know someone's voice despite being near them for a month.
I've made up my mind! if I have to guard her for eternity and also help her in class, I need to be her friend.
But it's easier said than done, she never talks, she doesn't like eye contact with strangers, I don't know where she spends her breaks, and she always leaves on 6th period, It's awkward!
Whatever, I'll be her friend, I'll do whatever it takes.
1st period is IT, sweet.
I really like IT, but I can't say the same for her, he doesn't seem to do well with the computer, I'll help her of course, but I can feel it, this time, it's going to be different.
I sit next to her, and I smile at her, something I've never done before, you heard that right, I've never smiled, even in my other 5 lives, so I was afraid it might look creepy.
-Hello, do you know my name
She shook her head, with a smile of her own, and her smile was adorable, so kawaii, I felt my spirit shake, I almost shifted out my body from how my reaction internally was.
But now is not the time, it's time for the big question.
-My name is Kurai, would you like to be my friend
-O.o.okay
OH.MY.GOD, she is adorable, her smile, her voice, she is so cute I feel like I'm going to explode, I definitely made the right choice reaching out to her and asking to be her friend, I never felt such human feelings but oh god, I think I was born to be her guardian, she is my favorite person in the whole world right now.
I kept talking to her, her name is Aiko, that name sure suits her, she is indeed a child of love from what I can see, we have a confidentiality policy, so she can't tell me about her disability, but I don't care, she is an angel, I want her to be happy by me, I want her to smile by my side, forever.
I can cure her disability, but that's too suspicious, since she was born with it, and is already so frail it's impossible to find a reason to her healing, I know it's selfish to think of logic despite me being able to defy it, but I don't want her to be so confused she gets upset, I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose her, so I'll stay by her for the rest of her days.
From time to time, I held her stuff and read her mind, I thought she might be displeased by me around her, but her thoughts were as happy as mine, she was practically dancing from joy in her thoughts, I'm so happy I did it for the both of us.
We spent a lot of time together, apparently, she doesn't write because she can't her hands are thin and weak, she can't handle a pen well, making her write would be torture, she eats slowly because she has a fear of choking, and I can't blame her, if she eats at my pace, she will definitely choke, but who cares, she is the same as the other humans, maybe humans aren't that bad, I might get to know more humans if they are this adorable.
But the moment the bell for 6th period rings, she is sent home, poor thing can't handle all 9 periods, I can't blame her, 9 periods is already painful as is, but when she left, there was this feeling I couldn't brush off, was it... longing? did I already miss her the moment she left? she might be my humanity, she might be the one to make me a perfect human, and help me feel emotions I can't feel as Kurai.
She is a saint, maybe I'll buy her something, humans seem to really like gifts.
The bell rang for the end of the school day, I was tucking my books in my book bag, but I overheard a bunch of students talking:
-Must say, I'm impressed, that cripple managed to attract the sympathy of the new transfer student
-It's nothing surprising, I mean, the new student is already weird, her skirt is the length of a dress, like, other students are protesting for shorter skirts and you are out there getting the longest skirt known to mankind
-Say that again, also, her name is Kurai, who names their child gloomy, and her dark red hair, how did the administration let her in
-Yeah! they wouldn't let me into the school because I had a blonde highlight!
-Ain't that the truth, maybe they are letting her act freely because she is a retard too
-Makes sense, retards hang out with other retards
-Hey shut up she is staring right at you!
I don't know what kind of expression I was making to get them to be this terrified, they stood still for a while, I can sense their aura emitting immense fear, I couldn't care less about what people would say about me, but I wouldn't be the child of the black dragon if I let them talk about Aiko like that, no one, dares talk about my subject like that.
-Hey, not cool, don't talk about people like that, it might come back and bite you sooner than you think
They didn't say a word, they just walked out of the class, so rude, but I didn't approach them just to talk about doing the right thing, that would be stupid nowadays, I got closer so I can use telekinesis to pluck out a few of their hairs, I put them in my locket pendant, they are going to be of good use when I extract my revenge.
I went home, took a shower, had the dinner I can't even digest since I don't have taste buds or intestines, and immediately ran to my room, this is going to be the best revenge plan ever known to spirit kind.
Glad I took sewing classes in the summer, since I made three plush dolls and each had the hair of a person, I put them all randomly in my locket, but when things are small, for example, a strand of hair, I can see their DNA, and I can tell that they belong to different people.
Usually, ordinary humans fail to do magic and end up believing that it's not real because they were unable to reach it, but it's very real, and since my original mom was a shaman, I can easily do magic like her.
In this world, there are two rooms that share the same wall, on one side, there is humans, animals, living beings in general, and on the other side, all spirits, the wall between them is like a two way mirror, living beings with physical form can't see spirits and yokais, but on the other side, all kinds of spirits can see each other and see the living beings, sometimes they interact with the human world, and it also comes in possessing people, but they aren't limited to that.
the wall is thick, so humans might have a hard time using magic since they are in the furthest corner of the room, so they can't pass through the wall to interact with yokais to achieve magic, however, I am a black dragon and the daughter of a shaman, so I'm supposed to be on the other side of the wall, but since I have a physical body I should be on the human side, but due to the confusion, it's like I'm stuck inside the middle of the wall, so I can get on both sides, which makes it easier for me to use magic.
Keep in mind that this is just metaphor, the world is too big to be confined by human examples such as a room.
I cursed the dolls I made, so in the end, I made three voodoo dolls, these boys are going to get what they deserve.
It's midnight, everyone is probably sleeping, I'll give the boys a little scare.
Voodoo dolls are dolls enchanted with magic to make the person bound to it feel the damage it gets without experiencing it first hand.
I took the dolls and dunked them into the water, from the basis of the curse, they will probably drown if I keep doing it, so, at the last minute, I pull the out from the water, fun, am I right?
But I don't want to kill them or hurt them that much, I put a needle on each doll's back, and what do you know, the next day, they came to school late, they looked paranoid, traumatized, and they couldn't sit properly and went to the nurse every chance they've got to get painkillers from a back ache.
Aiko seemed happy today as well, it seems that they only talk behind her back, they probably can't face her because she is a special education student, I mean, I can also ruin them by telling the administration, but a curse and a scolding is too much, so I'll let them be, and I'll lift the curse next week, I can tell my friendship with Aiko is going to go so well, I'm so excited.
