The contract.

A,N: Just a quick warning. This chapter is a bit violent and a tiny bit gore. It is a demon story. Also, a bit longer than usual. Hope that still interests you though.


Gili has never felt so frightened in her entire life. She was sure of that. Nothing could come close to the fear she was feeling right now, staring inside the hexagram and on the demon boy in there. It didn't help that he had just declared their own deaths seconds earlier. If a demon threat was real, Gili was sure it was this boy. He was really going to kill them all.

"Kill us?" Regina managed to muster out and were suddenly stuttering with confidence "No chance. You are still captured by our wards mister. So, if you want to get free, I suggest you do as we tell you and make a bargain with us. Or else...".

"Or else what?" the boy questioned and snort "You don't have the skills to even tie me down, let alone defeat me". Gili could see how Regina were clenching her fists in an angry matter. She clearly didn't like the insult she was given.

"How dare you Demon! You are the one trapped not me!" She then yelled back in an angry matter "I have you know; I pride myself in my abilities...".

"Yeah don't insult Regina!" Tohma and Kenta shouted in support. Gili just flinched even more. Making him angry was clearly not the right way to go. The boy didn't even seem faced as he licked his lip in an almost hungry matter.

"Hmm I guess you will be worth my while after all" the boy then said as he attacked with a fierce fist at the wards and its barrier "Hold on to that pride of yours my dear, so I can rip it from your dead corpse when I kill you all".


That was the last words spoken before hell was literally loose. The boy didn't need much effort before fire rose around him and burned away the wards and barrier. All in one go. His appearance even changed into what Gili would see as an armored warrior. His body got literally wrapped in dark black and red colored armor. Even his face got covered by this strange armor mask.

(Here is more or less what he looks like without sword and shield  )

Regina's frightful scream were the first reaction here. Gili was frozen in panic and all she managed was to take some few steps backwards before the demon struck. Regina, Kenta and Tohma had apparently more adrenaline in them since they began running and this demon attacked them with a ferocity like none other. With one attack from his right hand, Regina was pierced through her stomach, letting out a groaned piercing scream before the light left her eyes and she hit the ground, dead. The shock that ran through Gili at this display was like none other, but surprisingly she managed on shaky legs to actually walk over to her former bully and stare at her remains and the blood that covered the floor red.

"Regina..." Gili gulped in a harsh cry as she fell down to her knees in pure distress. Not caring that Regina's blood soaked her hands and clothes now. "She didn't deserve that...".

Screams followed once again as the demon this time were facing Kenta, grabbing around his head and... soon wasn't there any longer. Gili shuttered again and covered her ears at the horrors unfolding.

"Gili! Gili! Listen to me, Guess his name. You can reverse this if you do. Just guess his name!" a girls voice suddenly ran through her head.

"Hu?" Gili uttered rather confused and looked around to see who was talking.

"Just write something. Hurry before he kills you too".

Gili was not sure what was going on here, but she knew enough demonology to know that saying or write a demon's true name gave you power and control beyond belief against the said demon. It was like taking the essence. Their lifeforce. Problem was Gili had no clue on what this demon's true name was. All she knew was he was a pride noble of some kind. Blood dripped from Gili's hands as she placed them in the ground before her as she began writing whatever came to mind.

"The last one!" a voice said above her now, and Gili froze slightly as she lifted her head, looking up at this armored demon.

His purple eyes glowed to the mask as he lifted his hand to strike. Gili let out a terrified scream as a hand struck through her chest, ripping through the chain holding her cross, as it fell to the ground with a loud bump. A scream of pure rage ran through the room now and an unusual display happened before her. Gili would properly never explain this to any humans at all. the agonizing pain she had felt a minute ago had disappeared all of the sudden, and soon she found herself healed from any injury. Letters written in pure blood rose in the air and rearranged themselves and were soon spelling the words 'D/D/D' in front of her. The scream she had heard earlier were apparently coming from the demon himself, as he was fighting with great effort against chains, who had popped up from the ground all of the sudden. As Gili looked closer it actually came from the hexagram drawn in the middle of the room. Its chains were wrapping themselves around the fighting demon and tried pulling him into the hexagram once again.


"No! Let me go! This is not happening!" the demon boy yelled as he surprisingly were changing to different demon forms in order to escape this ordeal. However, no matter what he did, or form he took, he was still pulled into the hexagram and soon chained to the floor.

"No!" the demon screamed in pure agony as he reversed back to being a boy again.

He was caught, maybe even bound, and this time he was not leaving the hexagram any times soon. The glare he was sending Gili was sending shivers down her spine.

"You! You did this! You chained me!" the demon boy hissed "But you are just a newbie! How the hell did you get my true name you little...!". Whatever he was about to say got quelled by a chain that for a slight minute wrapped around his throat.

"Ahr... I got it! I got it! She is my contractor! Let me go you vile being!" the boy hissed and were apparently glaring at something else.

Gili was not sure what though. The chains wrapping around the demon began slowly to disappear into the floor, leaving the boy to glare at the floor, before he stretched his body. Pained groans could be heard from him though.

"I hate them. Those things with their flappy wings!" the boy cursed underneath his breath before he turned his attention to Gili. "So? Are you just gonna sit there Contractor girl? Let's make the deal already, so I can go home and forget this never happened. Tell me your contract already!".

Those demands however only made Gili flinch even more and she hit behind the nearest table. Her eyes never left the boy though. She was too curious. The whole events that had happened here? Did she, did she just chain a demon? She couldn't fandom it. The boy growled as he scratched his hair rather sheepishly. He let out a sigh, before stripping himself of his cape and boots. Now he was dressed more casually with white shoes and thereby didn't look as threatening. Or Gili guessed that was his intentions.

"Okay let's start over. My name is Declan Akaba, a demon noble from the pride clan. It is my preferable name out of many and does not chain me to the floor..." Gili could then hear him introduce himself as. After some moments of him cursing over 'how the hell she could steal his true name', he continued "What's your name?".

"Gili..."Gili then slowly mused as she walked forward, now less scared since they introduced each other "Highschool student, first year...".

"Gili hu?" the boy Declan mused, as if he had to taste the name on his lips first "Is that the name you want me to refer you as, or do you prefer a more honorable title like Master or Mistress?".

Gili shook her head wildly. She couldn't possibly ask him to call her something like that. It was embarrassing.

"Hmm I see. Gili it is" Declan mused slowly as his eyes glowed a little and Gili felt a weird sensation run through her for a second "Highschool student at Paradise City in the human realm. Lives alone, both parents' dead and forced into an occult ritual by these idiots. Makes sense why one of Those would rescue her. Blast them and their celestial contract". Gili's eyes widened in horror as she realized the demon were more or less reading her mind.

"So, what did you wish for? Tell me so we can get this deal over with" Declan continued and in a cold tone "This is very humiliating".

"Wish?" Gili questioned rather confused.

"Yeah! The wish you made when you wrote my name Different Dimension Demon in blood just now" Declan demanded "What was your wish?". Gili looked puzzled at him. She had no clue what he was talking about.

"Aw!" Declan then suddenly sneered as a scroll got tossed in his head.

His gaze once again looking up at something invisible over his head. Made on almost golden parchment paper, Gili could see ancient letters written all over as Declan opened it and were soon cursing all over again.

"A friend?! I am an almighty demonic beings that can grant almost any desire!" Declan then sneered and flames were soon in his hands, as he tried to extinguish with his powers. Nothing happened and Declan let out a frustrated scream as he tossed the contract away, hitting the barrier "I am an almighty demon, first and only born heir to the pride clan, and then, then I am bound to a newbie for the rest of her life time!".

Gili looked shocked at him as the demon boy tossed a tantrum like no other. Then she remembered what he had just said, and her eyes widened in awe. A friend? He is supposed to be my friend? But I... Gili shook her head in bewilderment. That was what I wrote on my note last night, but... that's was absurd. Or was it? If Gili recalled her note, she had wished for a friend. A friend to hang out with. A friend that would never leave her and always protect her. Had god or the angels fulfilled that by giving her Declan or?

"Hey, Hey you Gili. Let's make a different deal you and I" Declan then suddenly said with an almost pleasing tone "You let me out of here, I promise I won't even kill you when I am released. I even revive your teammates. Or anything you desire. Just as long as you release me from this stupid contract. How does that sound?".

The desperation was clear in the demon's voice as he looked at her with almost begging eyes and for once Gili couldn't keep herself from laughing, as she ran through the wards and broke the barrier in the process. Her arms wrapped around the demon boy as she hugged him. A hissing growl could be heard from Declan, but Gili didn't really care. She was finally not alone any longer and that's all that mattered.


A,N: Naw. Such a sweet but double-edged end to this. Gili got her wish while Declan sadly got the short straw. So sorry or not. He did kill three people so, yeah. At least he did not get his way with Gili. Lol. In the next chapter they um go to school together. Not to point out how disastrous that is. Hope you liked it though. Please comment on what you think so far.
