The figure raise their body, enough to grabbed the girls and placing them onto the ground as they stared at the figure with wider eyes ❝S-Sorry... I didn't want you to see me like this...❞ the voice was almost unrecognized, cracked as it was broken.

❝Is that really you?!❞

❝But... There's no way...❞

They couldn't believe what they were seeing with their own eyes, the figure's tall body immediately shrunk itself to a much smaller size, the exact size of a child but they share the traits as a human would possess yet the skin alone was enough to tell them that the one was standing in front of them was indeed inhuman.

Stream were coming out coming out from the mouth, revealing sharp fangs as a pair of rounded ears, sitting on top of the head with dirty greyish locks of hair, red highlights mixing together from above to the bottom of  the hair. It was her face but the appearance was not the same as the girl they have come to know.

The girl who has the softest droopy eyes, the childish look in her pale blue eyes was gone. The girl with the unusual hair color, the innocence of her smile was gone. The warm aura around her vanished into thin air, replacing it with an intense coldness.

Gracefully, a long tail that has a tuft of longer fur at the end as its swings itself in mid air, the red markings painted themselves across her face from below the eyes to above the chin, a single crack across her right eye ❝Makomo... Sabito... Take the girl and get out of here, I will take care of him❞

Raising her head to face the demon in front, her golden eyes were wide, cold and void of emotions. Her stare felt painful and intense as if her stare was enough to piece through the heart. The demon however was rather amused by her sudden appearance ❝It's no wonder why I sense an unique smell coming from you...❞

The hand demon rolled his eyes, progressing in his mind, trying to figure out the truth behind the little information he gained when it's finally clicked, a finger was pointed towards her causing her to keep her guard up even more as he continued ❝You're a demon, aren't you?❞

The way her body frozen made him laugh as he further his explanation ❝You has a sweet smell...You might look human but I can tell you aren't weak for a demon as young as you❞

❝Reina... Is a demon?❞ Sabito whispers, disbelief was the only word to describe his expression right now as Makomo covered her mouth, preventing any noise from coming out ❝I-I... don't want to believe someone who I see as a little sister would be a demon, I won't!❞

❝Are you really okay?! We don't know if she's on our sid-❞ The girl with the ponytail was cut off by the cries of the young demon ❝I don't eat humans to get stronger!!❞

Quickly, she turn her head to glance over her shoulder as a burning sensation begins to gathering around her eyes ❝I would never ever harm a human! I want to be treated as one of you but I know I can't because I'm not human! That's why I always tried to protect you from danger because I thought I need something to prove myself that I'm not a monster to you!!❞

Tears were burst like a splash, slowly falling from her eyes and she didn't bother to wipe them away as she looked away from their eyes, ashamed and scared ❝That's why I want to get stronger so I could protect you too! I don't want to see anyone suffer anymore and that's why I will never abandon you even when the curse is killing me on the inside for preventing your fates if it's mean you would live longer!!❞

Despite the tears were flowing down her cheeks now, her lips tugged into a smile. A warm smile, the cold air around her disappeared as the air felt warmer than before ❝And I don't care if I died from this curse if it's mean for you to live on-❞

Raising her hand, sharp black claws appeared trying to left an opening to escape from the tight grip on her arm, her skin turned black reaching her elbows as she felt the demon was pulling on it, trying to rip one of her limb.

❝Curse Blood Technique...❞

On her hand was a golden circle appeared with symbols, lines and dots formed in the iris, placed in a sort of manner. It was the symbol of Circular Gallifreyan ❝E.N.D. Climax-❞

Her spell was cut off as her hand was grabbed by the demon's hand, preventing her from attacking ❝You already got away with stealing my meal once, you think you could escape from me that easily?❞

She groans as the hand demon tightened his grip on her arms ❝I will rip your limbs off one by one-❞

❝Not on my watch!❞ Makomo shouted, raising her sword as golden eyes widened at the sight of the ravenette coming to the rescue ❝Breath of Water, Eight Form: Waterfall Jar!❞ she cuts the hands vertically, successfully releasing the girl.

Before she could say a word, someone lifted her up as they placed her on their shoulder, her eyes caught the sight of peachy pink colored hair and before she knew it herself, they began running, away from the demon as the two ravenettes were following from behind.

❝W-W-What are you doing?!❞

Makomo let out her usual cute smile, giving her aura with a dreamy look ❝Helping our friend, of course❞

❝B-But I'm a de-❞

❝We don't care, I don't know why you kept it away from us but I.. We felt like we trusted you❞ Sabito stated quietly, focusing on the road ahead.

❝You never really tried to attack us when you have so many opportunities to eliminate us❞ The smile on her face didn't disappeared as she continued ❝Whether you're a demon or not... You're still the little sister that I come to care for❞

❝I-I don't know you that much but you did saved us from that d-demon! So I'm very graceful that you saved my life!❞ The girl with the ponytail stuttered, breathing heavily as she ran alongside with the water duo.

Tears were slowly making their way to her eyes, gathering a pool of water ready to fall down like little waterdrops as she sobs ❝Everyone... Thank you...❞
