The transfer student.
"I want you to introduce to you all a new transfer student. He got permitted this morning" The teacher introduced, as she made everyone of the students silent.
Gili lifted her head from the table as the teacher made this new student enter the classroom. His blond hair with green spiked brags stood out instantly and made several girls, including Regina, fall for his good looks. Dressed in a puffed off white shirt, brown pants and a long black coat, he looked bad ass. Too bad ass for Gili's taste. There was something about him. She couldn't quite figure it out, but suspicion was clear in her eyes. Declan had taught her that nothing was what it seems. Why would they get a new transfer in the middle of the year? They were not Declan, being demon and could influence himself into the school rather easily.
"Hello, my name is Kite Tenjo" the blond-haired boy introduced and made a slight bow.
Interestingly he didn't say anything else. Usual students were saying things like 'please take care of me' or 'nice to meet you'. It was like he knew he was not going to be around for long. That cold exterior of course made the girls even more crazy.
"Oh, he is such a honk" Regina stated. She was sitting at her desk in front of Gili and were having almost dreamy eyes at this Kite Tenjo.
"He is nothing special..." Gili mused, which of course got Regina's attention.
"Ha of course you would say that. You already have that Akaba boy wrapped around your finger" Regina replied as she glared back at Gili "Speaking of which, where is your so-called boyfriend today? Finally ditching you?".
"No! He just had family business today" Gili quickly replied back at first before her voice turned rather flustered "And... And Declan is not my Boyfriend...".
"But someone wishes they were" Regina whispered back in a teasing matter, which forced Gili to hide her face in her textbook now. She wanted to sneer back that that was not true, but Gili just couldn't lie to herself or Regina. She felt like it would taint Declan's memory. She was already missing him as it was.
"You can have the empty seat near Gili today. Declan Akaba seem to be missing today" The teacher advised "That until we get your own desk of course". And soon Gili found herself having this weird blond kid as her neighbor too. Just Great. Declan, where are you?
The lesson went well. Even with this transfer student intense stare at her. Or that was at least how Gili felt it was. This new student barely did anything, besides speaking a few words to the crew of fangirls. He had been extremely harsh with them actually, before he went outside the classroom at lunch time. His excuse was that he wanted to go to the bathroom, but Gili didn't believe him. For that reason, she decided to follow him without him noticing of course. Soon Gili found her hunch to be correct. He did not go to the bathroom, but instead went in an empty corridor. Gili had hidden herself inside a locker. Her small stature made it possible for her to hide the most unusual places. That and Regina had once pushed her inside a locker for the fun of it, so Gili knew she could fit in it. After making sure no one were watching, Kite pulled out a handy from his pockets of his pants and made a call.
"Yeah it is me" he almost yelled out. Clearly angry with whoever he was speaking to.
"Yes. I am there. But care to tell me why I have sneak around like this Phoenix. Why don't we just do it the hard way?" Kite then questioned "He is not even around". Growling sounds could be heard from Kite, as this person on the other end answered.
"I do not care about her being human. She is part of this... and shut up with the oath already. You know full well why I joined you...". More hissing sounds came from Kite before he yelled "Fine! We do this your way, but if nothing has changed until sundown, we do things MY way!". '
Then he almost slammed the phone shut and walked with angry steps back to the classroom. Gili who had been holding her breath the entire time, let out a relieved sigh. But one though did enter her mind. What the hell was going on here?!
Time skip.
"But Regina, why can't we hang out? We done it before" Gili uttered in pure distress as she was standing almost begging in front of Regina and her crew.
They were currently standing at the main entrance to the school, as students were leaving for today. To say that Gili was an understatement. After overhearing that conversation in the hallway, Gili had made it upon herself to keep herself busy until after sundown. She couldn't explain why, but she had a nagging feeling that this transfer student had been talking about her. Her and Declan. He had said he wanted to do things his way at sundown, but from what she had heard, she figured this transfer student wouldn't do anything if she was surrounded by other humans. She just had to occupy herself until Declan returned. She just really hoped it was for a single day. She was not sure she could manage a whole week. That weird transfer student hadn't left her out of his sight at all today. That was the reason she was now standing in front of Regina and her crew and literally begging her to take her along.
"Yeah like I am gonna fall for that Gill girl. This is just your way of messing with us after all we did to you. We have not forgotten what that boyfriend of yours did to us" Regina said and snort "Besides why would ever hang out with a twerp like you. Get real!".
'And just like that she was on her own. Fear struck her as Gili once again felt the intense glare from Kite Tenjo. He had just left the building and were having that plastered smirk on his face. It was almost like he was about to eat her. It made Gili shutter. Was he demon? What that the reason why she felt so unsafe? But Declan, Declan promised me the mark would keep the demons at bay. I am only his...
"We need to talk miss Sakaki". Kite's cold voice cut through the air like it was a blade itself. What frightened Gili the most was that he had managed to kill the distant between them in one go and were now standing in front of her. "Where is your boyfriend, or whatever you call him? Tell me where Declan Akaba is!".
"I don't know!" Gili uttered in complete panic. A hand grabbed around her wrist as she tried to run for it. The blond's grip was extremely tight.
"I don't believe you. You are his summoner, aren't you? Gili Sakaki" Kite hissed in an angry tone "Either you summon your beast here or I might not be so kind to you".
"B-beast?" Gili questioned as she swallowed a lump in her throat "Declan is no... no beast. He is my friend!". She could hear Kite snort at that statement.
"I do not care for what kind of illusions that demon has polluted you with. I just wanna slay him. That demon lord of yours. He is not allowed in this world you know" he then said in a firm matter "But if I have to use you as bait to get to him, I will. Question is if you are willing to help me or not...".
"I will never let you hurt Declan!" Gili hissed and tried to wiggle out of his grip with a lot of struggle "I will never help you! Now let me go!".
Without warning Gili had managed to stretch out her hand towards Kite, and almost like a miracle wind power responded to her cry and literally blew Kite away, as his grip around her hand loosened and he was send flying at the other directions at the courtyard. Gili was literally staring at her hands for at least some seconds before she decided to hightail it out of there. Declan's words were still ringing through her head as she did. The mark. It holds a fraction of my powers. And Gili was having a silent 'thank you' to Declan as she ran away from the school.
She didn't get far through, before Kite Tenjo were once again on her trail, and Gili might even comment him for his persistence if she wasn't his outgo target that is.
"Help! Help! A mad man is after me!" Gili was and had shouted out like crazy while running through a weird enough empty city.
Where was all people? Then suddenly she did in fact slam into someone. An adult male with grayish hair and dressed in black and white ropes. If Gili had not been in utter panic she might have realized that this man was in fact a priest, but all she could think about was relieve. Relieve that she had found someone that might could save her.
"Hey, watch where you are going?!" the man complained, which only encouraged Gili to grab in his rope out of pure distress.
"Please! Please! I beg you. Help me! A mad man is after me!" she uttered frantically.
"A mad man? Where?" the man questioned and looked around rather confused. Gili looked behind her, only to find no one really.
"Where... where did he go? He was right behind me!" Gili questioned rather confused. She could feel the man tap at her head, like she was a little child.
"I am sure he was. Why don't you come with me?" the male then asked, which suddenly made Gili's blood freeze. A strange energy source was running though her all of the sudden. She felt extremely weak. It was like she could sleep for a long time.
"Oh, you are a strong one. You are still conscious, aren't you?" the man then questioned in an almost sincere smile "I am sorry. I truly am, but you have to come with us now. Maybe you are not aware of this, innocent as you are, but the man you associate with is an evil demon lord...".
"Dec-lan, Declan never hurt... anyone" Gili managed to get out, before falling toward this priest's chest. Whatever he had done to her, Gili was not able to even fight or run from him anymore.
"You might think that for now. He might not even hurt you, but he is still a demon. As soon as your contract ends, he will still take your soul with him to hell" The priest advised. Gili could fell herself get lifted up, but she couldn't see anything any longer.
"Now sleep child. When this is over, you will thank me". And Gili's world went blank.
A,N: Well that was that chapter. Poor Gili. Getting chased by Kite and in the end taken by Aster of all people. Just rotten luck, I guess. Why?! Why is it people just don't understand the connection alias bond Declan and Gili is having and leave them alone. Alas that would make for a boring story if they did? Or what do you readers think? Are Kite and Aster's actions even justified at this moment or not? As for the next chapter I am unsure of the outcome. If it continues on with Gili or if I switch over to Declan. Only time will tell. Do hope for a good chapter though.
