Schools were going back and I was sealed. I was trying to figure out a way for him to keep a stable mindset. Hopefully never having to use Zafkiel. At all if he could help it. I would never want him going down that road. But during the course I told him not only that I loved him, but told him my original plan before his love and affection. It was all driving me crazy. And as much as starting all over again was a thought, I had to weigh it all. This really started to put a strain on both of us. 

~~~~~

Kotori was getting back to her duties. School, reports, and now a new spirit sealed which created a whole new series of issues. It was complete madness. And (FN) who it revolved around didn't even know it. He was getting out of school from the first day back since the madness had ensued. With things calmed down, Miku taking a little time off from being an idol, and Shido had his full attention to most of the girls. Though Kurumi was in her room resting and taking the time to lay out how to teach her new boyfriend what was going on. Then see his signs. Changes of behavior was very important.

He opened up the door to see Kurumi in casual clothes sitting at her desk. She heard the door open as she turned around and smiled. "Hey there. How was everything?"

"Back to normal so it seems. Just nice to come back here to kick back for a bit and then hit the books. Seem fair right?" He answered as he put his bag down.

"Any difference in how you feel?"

"I came to check on you to see if you were at ease or not. I know you're getting settled in, but it's too quiet in here. Tell me I'm missing something. Because I know something is going on Kurumi."

"You mean a surprise if you're a good boy." She cooed.

"Ummm!"

"Hehe. Now be a good boy and let's jump in the bed for cuddles. Because someone is entitled to a little rest." Kurumi got up from her desk chair and over to the bed to lay on it. "Chest? Tummy? Maybe my thighs."

"Lord bless those thighs." (FN) smiled as he laid down. Hugging around her lower back and his chest and arms laid in her lap. "That's the stuff." Smiling and being overjoyed. Savoring the moment for as long as he can.

"Easy Darling. I'm not going anywhere." If anything, I'm worried about you. But I'm happy that those eyes are the same. The ones that show his true nature of intentions. The same the other copies of me see. Another of which would fall much so easily. But as long as those eyes are normal I can ease into his training. Hope I don't fall asleep though. He is comforting me more than I realized. 

That's where she was right and ever so wrong. But when was she going to tell him? There was so much to go around. Though there hasn't been much conflict at all between the couple. It was up to her the bring it up. So much baggage against her and the boyfriend hasn't tried to pry or even ask her anything. Just trying to enjoy himself for as long as he could. It would be only time until another spirit pops up. Or something else related to DEM.

He was nearly asleep as she found out. Which she let it be. Give him a little bit. Not enough for a nap, but enough to comfort him and recharge his batteries. Allowing her a little more time to think about the situation at hand. 

Does he know he inherited my powers? Will Kotori fill him in on what is going on? And he certainly doesn't know about my original plan or what I know about Reine? No. He wouldn't be so open with me. Ugh! What is wrong with me? Besides consuming people, causing havoc, and being the cost of lives enough to make towns into cemeteries. Gracious. Why is this upsetting me?

"Babe?" Yawned (FN).

"Yes?" She asked nervously.

"I feel your heartrate is skyrocketing. You alright? Something wrong?" 

"I-I..."

(FN) sat up and put his hands on her shoulders. "Tell me anything."

"I'm sorry. It's nowhere near enough but I'm sorry." A tear from her red eye dripped.

"Woah. Hey, Babe. What's going on? You can tell me anything. Let's talk this through if you need to." Anyone should know when a girl cries at what seems at random, it means she can no longer bottle up her emotions. At he didn't ask with the 'you okay' because that would cause a time bomb.

"You need to know the truth." She hugged him. "Before I fell for you I had a plot to go back and fix everything."

"Let's sit up and I'll grab some tea? Just to give you a minute and it will just be us?" Offered (FN). 

"Okay." She wiped her face and rolled out of the bed. 

It was nice that she was finally going to get this stress off of her chest to some degree. Her boyfriend knew that there was a large amount of regret. But the issue at hand was much more than he imagined. Not knowing what he was bargaining for. It's like building a sandcastle but instead you end up having no body of water near by and grab regular sized shovels from a hardware store. This was getting deep as the ocean floor. 

(FN) poured the tea. Two cups and a table sitting across from each other. It was time get real and keep emotions a little separate from the issue. Kurumi had her hands on the warm mug. It was time to hear her truth. 

"Kurumi, I know we're, lovers now. But what is it you want or need to tell me. We're still going to be together. I won't pry it. I would just rather have you speak."

"I know about these companies. I know about Reine and what her real name is. I know what started it all. And I know that I'm not a little girl anymore. But here I am. It's frustrating. It's about what happened years ago."

(FN) looked confused. "Your end? Her end?"

"Both to a point." She looked into these eyes. "Do you know anything about the crystals?"

"Crystals? No." He shook his head very confused. 

"Sephira crystals. They're the things that turn people into spirits. Or in many cases, monsters. I'm still trying to figure out why you and your stepbrother are able to seal and gain the powers. I'm just unsure how that process works. But I know the two of you are holding large amounts of energy because of sealing the girls. You sealed me and Kaguya."

"Look, I apolo-"

"It's fine. I wasn't clear about it and there is no need for you to be so hung up on me if I didn't give any sign of liking you back."

"Kaguya and I are on the same page. She knows we're together. But moving on. Is this about your time?"

"Darling let me go back. It may not seem like it to you, but believe it or not I came from a good family. I got back to the manor and was attacked by a monster. Mio saved me. You know her as Reine. She gave me one of the crystals. That is what I thought it was all about. Being an ally of light and taking down these monsters to protect my parents, Sawa, and others. Heck, if my parents are alive out there somewhere they should be enjoying retirement."

"Retirement? So, Babe, uhhh, never mind." (FN) blushed. He was breaking one of the rules that many women would not like to be asked. Not weight, but age.

"In body I'm eighteen. I'll tell you that much. But Mio and I have a history. I wanted to stop everything if I possibly could. Stop Westcott, stop everyone. What I planned on doing is devouring the energy from you and Shido and using one of my bullets to go back in time and stop everything. There would even be a little difference in Origami that lost her parents to the same spirit Ifrite that is classified as Kotori. But she will lose her parents in a few years due to a car accident. My powers are sealed and you gave me a change of heart. You have my powers now and I want to live my best life living again. I spent all this time hiding in fear, trying to change things, and being mostly by myself. I want to try and see if I can save rather than restart. I don't know what will change, how things will effect you and your sister, and who knows what the deal with Shido is. Then us most importantly. I only had one boy sensible to ask me on a date and I don't know who it was. It was a note and I couldn't answer up on it."

"So, I'm your first boyfriend and you thought about devouring us to change the past?" He pondered. 

"That's right. But outside stopping Westcott who is a spoiled rich boy with experiments there is nothing more to it. He is responsible. Not Reine. I held a grudge and hared towards her for so long. But I can't do that anymore. It's not healthy or wise to do so. I don't care I'm getting close to a-hundred years old. I can't do that. I don't want to lose you or anyone of you. But in order for me to do so it starts with you."

"Me?" (FN) gasped. "Why me?"

"Because if you don't know what you're doing with my powers you'll kill someone or yourself. That's why. Because I can't lose you. You're the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. Because without you all I am is a monster. I'm just a bad creation of destruction and a threat to the world. My death count is high enough to be considered a world threat. And now, let's learn, love, and be our best. We're going to do this together." She grabbed his wrist. "Please, I need you."

"Need me that bad? This is so sudden?"

"I know moving in and all is such a change, but we will figure it out." She smiled.

"Wait, moving in? What?"

"Hm?" Kurumi brought a finger to her cheek. "Too soon?"

"Let's pump the brakes a minute."

"Hehe. So cute, don't worry. The bed is big enough." Kurumi had him reeled in as a trophy fish.

"Concern."

It all starts now. It's a lifestyle.
