3: I Met A Demon

I've been giving out a lot of stickers lately. I think it's great I can finally help them.

Another spirit came to visit me tonight for a sticker. I reach into my bag and realised I gave away my last one " gomen. There isn't any left. I have to get more. Another day ? "

" Ok..." And the spirit leaves me alone.

" You. You are the one who has been disrupting me !!! " A voice said in anger sending chills down my spine. A voice so close that I can feel at the back of my neck. I turned around and was at close range with the spirit. No, I want to call this one a ghost. It's face is so terrifying I don't know what to do. Like my feet are planted still. His hands reach up slowly and his smile grew big and crooked. That was enough to scare me. His hands slowly land onto my shoulder. Do something. Hiumura!!! Something !!! His hands grip onto my shoulder, it burns my skin, " ahhhh !!! "

* Slice *

" Who are you !! " The ghost demanded to know as he turned around.

I felt a comfortable but unfamiliar hand cupping me in " over here. And don't worry. I'm here." The voice said. I looked up to the voice ... He's... He's captivating. My eyes can't look away. And his hand, a normal blade.

" Who are you?!!!"

" Nurarihyon Rikuo. You don't know about me ?" He notices blood on the ground " You're using a human as a shell. Come out."

" You think I'm an idiot ?!! Why? What will you do ? Kill me ? You'll end up killing this human !!"

Rikuo : maybe I need to call her. There's this new shinigami ( soul reaper ) lately. She's super old I heard.

" Who's... Super old? " Niko anime veins as she reaches her hand in and pulls the soul from inside the body out.

" Noooo !!! " He screamed. The ghost attempts to attack Niko but she lets go.

The human collapsed onto the floor. There were two souls. One chained to the other. A girl's soul to a guy's soul.

Rikuo: what's that? I've never seen that before.

Niko : so you've become that strong huh? You plan to stay in his body as long as possible.

" What can you do about it ?!! You kill me, he dies !!"

Niko opens her hand and a scythe materialises " would you like to die ?"

Hiumura: don't do it !! The guy is innocent.

Niko: come on then. Let's see, what you can do.

"Nooo !!!" Hiumura charges forward but rikuo held her back, gripping onto her wrist. " She needs to do her job."

The girl ghost screams and a deafening sound travels. Rikuo and hiumura covers up their ears. Niko tilts her head to one side " what ? "

* Ear plugs in ears *

She takes the ear plugs out " I know all of your stunts. Can't you try something new ? " She charges forward with her scythe and with one smooth swing and slice, it was done.

The chain breaks and the girl ghost breaks into blue sparkles. Niko takes the guy's soul and puts it into his body " stupid thing. Don't give me trouble. I don't have much time to babysit. " She says sarcastically referring to hiumura.

Hiumura: let go of me !!!

Rikuo let's go " gomenasai. "

Hiumura : why ?!!! Why did you have to kill the ghost !!! Maybe I could convince it or something ?

Niko : ????? You read too much weird books. True, some things are true, but not all of them.

Hiumura: what do you mean ?

" I didn't kill it. You can't die after you're dead. You just get disassembled forcefully like how when normal should get send to Ground Zero via the sticker and then you get reassembled over there. But this one did too many bad things, eat souls even after death. Oh... I get to use this." Niko takes out a small white box from her hat. The box sucks in the blue sparkles and she throws the box into the hat.

Hiumura: what are you going to do with it now ?

Niko : give it to my Enma, Ai-sama. Let her give judgement.

Hiumura: what's the usual verdict ?

Niko : eaten by Ai-sama.

Hiumura: how's that different from killing it ?!!

Niko : How's that my business? It occupied that boy's body. I saved the boy. I'm leaving. Good night!

Hiumura: do you have to be that cold?!!! How do you know, maybe there was hope for the ghost!! Maybe she had some reason!!

" crazy girl. Goodnight!" and niko turns around leaving, ignoring hiumura.

" you're crazy!!" and she relieves a breath. She then turns around to rikuo and bows " thanks for saving me."

Rikuo : no, it's fine. This is my city too. You seem like a person who gets this kind of trouble a lot.

Hiumura: kind of.

Rikuo gives his phone to her " here. Give me your number." She puts it in. He then calls her " alright. Call me when you need help. Anytime. "

Hiumura: but wouldn't that bother you ?

Rikuo : I'm pretty free, really.

Hiumura: ok... Wait. What are you ?

Rikuo: oh. You're the first to ask that after seeing me.

Hiumura: you have nice and weird hair. And... Don't feel like human.

Rikuo: I almost thought you couldn't tell the difference. I'm a demon. Now see you, got to go before the sun rises.

Hiumura: hai. Bye bye.
