(Ch.4): Demoniac!

F/n turned around and saw his little supernatural friend group, which consisted of Kiba, Gasper, Asia, and Irina.

F/n: Oh, hey!

Suddenly (without warning), he was suddenly hugged by three of them while the third gave him a bro hug afterwards. Also, the three who hugged him seemed to have tears pricking their eyes.

(Author: Here's a minigame, "Guess Who did What". Who was the three who hugged him, who gave him a bro hug, and which three of the four were on the verge of tears?

After they seperated, F/n faced his friends.

Asia: Where have you been!?

Gasper: Yeah, people thought you either ran away or dropped out. Some of us even thought you became a Stray.

F/n: *How am I supposed to put this?*

Looking at his friends....

F/n: Well...I was captured by some "demons" and I was dragged down to Hell.

His friends were shocked and taken back by what he said.

Irina: Are you serious!? When did this happen!?

F/n: Um, it was during the attack on Kuoh Academy and right after I took out some Fallen Angels. What happened was two demons came and overpowered me...with little effort. Then, I was taken to Hell and tortured. It already hurts my head just thinking about it.

Kiba: Then, how did you escape?

F/n: I was saved by two Angels. If I remember, their names were Castiel and Virgil.

Irina: Oh, those two!?

F/n: Of course you would know them, right Irina?

Irina: Yes! They're both heroes out of Heaven! Do I need to mention they're also Angels of Michael!?

F/n: No, no need to mention all that.

F/n then checked the time.

F/n: Can we perhaps speak of this later? I have a date today and I want to be ready.

Unbeknownst to him, two of them looked jealous.

Asia: Sure, but please! Promise you be careful?

F/n: I will. I swear on my life.

F/n then jogged off leaving the school grounds.

~ Timeskip ~

F/n was seen sitting at the fountain within Kuoh Town, already dressed and ready for his date with Murayama.

(F/n's Outfit):

F/n: *Where is she? I hope this isn't one of those....*

???: Hey, F/n!

F/n looked up and saw the mentioned girl coming his way. Unbeknownst to himself, F/n slightly blushed at the sight too (mainly because of the visible cleavage).

Murayama: Sorry if I kept you waiting.

F/n: Don't worry about it. *stands up* So, are you ready?

Murayama: Yep, let's go already.

The girl (out of nowhere) grabbed his hand and led him in through town, said young man still slightly red in the face. Murayama took him to a sweet shop.

F/n: Oh, this place? They have good sundaes here.

Murayama: Oh, you've been here before?

F/n: Multiple times, yeah. Let's go inside.

A moment later, F/n and Murayama have both ordered their ice cream and sat outside together.

F/n: So, Murayama?

Murayama: Hm?

F/n: Why did you ask me out?

The girl went silent for a moment, leaving F/n in confusion as he saw her reddened face. She hesitated to look him in the eye.

Murayama: Because I've always liked you, F/n!

F/n: *slightly blushes* Really?

Murayama: Yeah. I mean, people see you as an outcast, but I see someone who is a person you can always count on no matter what.

F/n: *taken back* Me? Eh, I don't know about that.

The girl took his hand again, looking into his surprised grey eyes with her reassuring brown ones.

Murayama: You're thinking to lowly of yourself, F/n. I can guarantee you there's a lot about you I can say I find attractive about you.

F/n: Seriously?

Murayama: Yes. Just let me be your girlfriend and you can find out why.

F/n went silent for a moment, thinking on his answer while Murayama was waiting patiently for his reponse. Then suddenly...

F/n kissed her hand, turning her face as red as the color of his own shirt.

F/n: Alright. I suppose we can make this work together.

Then suddenly, Murayama kissed his cheek, making his face the same color as her own was right now: pink.

Murayama: Thank you for the chance, F/n!

~ Timeskip ~

F/n was seen back at the fountain with Murayama after today's succuessful date.

F/n: Thanks for asking me out. I had a nice time with you.

Murayama: *giggles* Well, I would hate it if you had a bad time, F/n.

F/n: Oh, yeah? So, you would've played that persistent game to keep getting with me?

Both of them shared a small laugh together.

F/n: Anyway, so...

???: Hello, F/n~.

Freezing at the sound of the voice, F/n turned around and saw the two demons from before...again!

F/n: What!? Again!?

Demon #1: Those damn Angels cost us our position!

Demon #2: And we are getting it back...by personally delivering you to the King!

F/n already felt the fear coming back to him. He even noticed Murayama's fear, which was far stronger than his own.

F/n decided to try and take her away from the scene, but in a sudden flash, one of the demons grabbed onto Murayama and held her like a guard holds onto a prisoner's shoulder.
The mentioned girl started to kick and squirm in an attempt to break loose, but her attempt was equivalent to trying to free a root deep out of the soil.

Demon #2: Sorry, kid. What needs to be done isn't going to be done without a little fun ~.

The demons projected their bloodlust aura again, sending both F/n and Murayama into fearful, submissive states.

Demon #1: Consider it our way of showing mercy.

However for F/n....the fear had a different effect on him. And seeing Murayama in that position....only amplified that effect.

His eyes then suddenly changed into a glowing dark red and his canines sharpened, the veins in his temple and hands visible.

F/n: We are not having a repeat of this!

The two demons were shocked by this.

Demon #1: What!?

Demon #2: Oh, shit!

Then in a flash, F/n suddenly dashed at the two demons and gotten into a brutal brawl with them, using nothing but his bare hands. Blood and shouts filled the area around them as this time, F/n showed no mercy.

Murayama (on the other hand) was in a mix of emotions: fear from what was happening and the creatures, shock at F/n sudden attitude change, and confusion on the overall situation. The emotions were so strong that she literally passed out.

Afterwards, F/n was seen standing in front of the mauled corpses of the demons, his body and fists covered in blood and scratches. He breathed heavily as he watched the corpses dissipate into nothing.

F/n: *demonic laughter* Who's the prey now?

He then turned his head and saw Murayama passed out. Walking over to her, he held her up with one arm and placed his other hand on her forehead, mumbling some unknown words. Then suddenly, F/n went back to normal. Confusion racked his brain before he himself passed out.

Unbeknownst to him, he was being watched....again, this time by an unwelcome third wheel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ Mindscape ~

F/n was seen standing at the beginning of a hallway to his own house, the only difference was that it was dark outside and the atmosphere felt more ominous. All that already gave him uneasy vibes. However, he felt an intriguing feeling through his body as a dim red light was seen at the end where his room resided.

Then without any evident resistance to stay back, he started to walk towards his room, gazing upon the pictures and decorations he walls held.

F/n: *What is happening?*

When he finally made it to his room, the knot in his stomach went away as he only saw a small music box silently playing and that being the source of the light.

F/n: *That is...oddly nostalgic.*

???: Is it now? What does it remind you of?

The suddenly voice surprised F/n, causing him to snap around and see a shadow-like figure behind him.

Just when the fear started to set it, the figure then shape-shifting int...himself!? The only difference was the snow white hair and piercing red eyes.

Slightly scared and confused, F/n could only ask one simple question.

F/n: Who are you!?

The figure gave a small chuckle in response to that naive question.

???: Put it like this: I'm you, but a physical illustration of your own negativity. I'm like your other half, or your inner demon, to put it simple.

F/n: ....What!?

???: You know, sadness, self-doubt, rage, fear. Such emotions are what I'm made of, although I will state that I'm not without confidence and independence within myself.

F/n will silent, so the "other half" of himself continued.

Kuzuha: Call me Kuzuha, your inner demon. And let's just say there's lots to discuss.

In an ominous manner, Kuzuha started to walk around F/n, keeping his eyes on said person.

Kuzuha: There were hints of me dwelling within your mind from the start, during the period where the Period King & Four-Eyed Slaver were overworking and neglecting you along with their little slaves, using you as a scapegoat and errand boy.

F/n: Hey! Don't....

Kuzuha: On top of that, those sick little demons, being the ones who lust for power and blood, physically, mentally, and spiritually tormented you and pouring their own blood into your chest....

Kuzuha pointed his finger into the middle of F/n's chest, which made a slight red glow. Moving the cloth, F/n saw a small but faded diagonal scar where his heart resided.

F/n: Oh, my Pawn piece.

Kuzuha: That's right, former piece anyway.

Kuzuha then sat down in a chair and suddenly changed it into a throne of sorts.

Kuzuha: Next time we speak...let's make it more entertaining.

Without warning, F/n felt a buzzing sensation rack his brain and he collapsed to his knee in pain before eventually blacking out. The last thing he saw was Kuzuha smirk and red eyes.

~ Reality ~

Back in the real world, F/n woke up in a unfortunately familiar room.

F/n: *Oh, my God! You can't be serious!*

Kuzuha: What God, F/n!?

Ignoring that unexpected voice, F/n slowly sat up and saw the (unwelcome) people who surrounded him.

F/n: *If there is a God...he clearly hates me.*



~ To Be Continued ~
The screen faded to black.
