Ayanokouji pov

Her breath hitch, slowly recovering from her verbal assault, she combs her delicate fingers through her disheveled hair.

Like turning off a switch her demeanor changed entirely, no longer was she a raging demon, instead a dainty lady took her place

(Plop plop) I felt drops of water falling on top of my head

"I sincerely hope Ayanokouji-kun will stay quiet about what he saw today" she quipped in a cutsey voice before turning her back and walking away

....

"Who are you really?" I mummer to myself

'was the demon born from the frustration of an angel, or was the angel a demon in disguised pleasuring itself on the secrets of others'

The rain starts to get heavier

'perhaps it's a mix of the two'

In the midst of my thoughts a loud cry pierce through the drizzling rain

"KYAAAAA!!!"

Judging from the general direction it likely came from kushida who probably fell on a puddle

My first thoughts were to leave her but then again it wasn't a good Idea to make her any angrier, plus if I helped her she's less likely to threaten me

Walking towards the sound I was eventually met with her trying to push herself off the floor but it seems her efforts were futile as she keeps slipping and falling back down

Her face was caked with dirt and there seemed to be minor bruising on her legs

I let out a cough to announce my presence "Ahem"

Whipping her neck around her hopefully expression immediately dissolved into a look of disgust as she laid eyes on me

"What are you looking at!" She spat out in disgust

Kushida pov

Marching back to my dorm I contemplate on what to do with ayanokouji

'He was an insignificant bug that I could crush anytime, even if he was dumb enough to tell someone what he saw no-one would believe him, after all he was a nobody while I am the queen of the class'

'Yes he wasn't a problem at all'

Suddenly I felt a cramp in my right thigh

'Crap! I kicked the railing too hard'

With nothing to lean on I fell onto the floor, causing me to cry out in pain

Unable to move my legs I start crawling onwards hoping to find a shelter nearby

"Ahem!" I heard a cough behind me

'Omg! Someone's here to help' I quickly turned around to meet my saviour only to see Ayanokouji

'Tsk, just my luck' I glare at him

"What are you looking at!" I spat out with as much poison as I could

He didn't answer and instead took a step forward, maybe it was his eerie blank face but I realised the gravity of my situation. I couldn't move and the only person in sight is someone whom I've insulted and threatened

Letting out a whimper I slowly reach for my phone only to remember that it broke when I fell, my heart starts beating faster and faster as he got closer

My mind races as I thought about all the possible outcomes

'he doesn't look like a creep, yeah yeah,.... but maybe he's a closet pervert,--i mean I see him hanging out with yamuchi all the time... And why else would he remove his coat.

He takes another step closer and my mind comes up with the unthinkable

'stupid stupid, stupid, get away from me you bastard' I huddle myself into a ball

Tears start falling down my face uncontrollably

'I helped everyone with their problem and all I do is complain a little, I didn't do anything to deserve this. So fuck off'

Expecting the worst my lips tremble

I close my eyes

It's so cold

My body starts to shiver

'I'm scared'

Right now he was kneeling In front of me

"PLEASE DON'T" I tried to scream but the words couldn't escape my mouth

****

Suddenly I couldn't feel the weight of the rain falling on my head, opening my eyes I couldn't see anything but red

He draped his coat over me?

"Don't worry I won't hurt you" he says in a tone that was obviously trying to comfort me

Before it would have annoyed me, that monotonous no personality robotic like voice, it reaked of a loser

But now I couldn't help but be thankful, whatever nightmares that haunted my head previously were banished

"There's shelter a few minutes from here, I'm going to carry you there ok" he says before lifting me up

"Kya!" I exclaimed as I was suddenly picked up, squirming around I tried my best not to rest my head on his chest but the exhaustion from dealing with everyone caught up to me and eventually I gave in

Ayanokouji pov

After a few seconds she stops squirming which made it easier for me

"Ne why are you helping me" she asks in a sheepish tone

"You were in trouble" I lied knowing that the honest answer wouldn't evoke any feelings of gratitude

"But don't you hate me?"

"No, frankly it's much more easier to converse with you now that I know your true feelings" this was the truth

She stayed silent for awhile before asking timidly

"But I threatened to kick you out of school"

"Someone found out your secret, you just wanted to protect yourself"

After all it's just natural

This time she stayed quite

Soon we reached a gazebo where I let her down on a chair

She took off her coat and threw it on the table, however since she was soaked to the bones her under-garments were revealed

Being respectful I turned around 'It doesn't seem to be ending soon'

"I could call horikita to come down with and umbrella?" I thought aloud

"No!" She replied instantly

Even with my back turned against her i could feel the weight of her hatred behind her word

"What about ik

"No!!" She slams her fist on to the table

It seemed like she doesn't want anyone else so see her like this

Looking down at my wet shoes I noticed I had dropped my phone outside

Quickly I rushed out to pick it up in fear that the water would break it

Turning it around there were multitude of stickers on the back

'it must be kushi

"Uhh" a loud groan bellowed out from behind me

Turning around I watch kushida try to climb down the steps but falls down due to her ankle

Luckily I was close enough and she fell into my chest

"What are you doing?" I asked as she struggle to stay on her feet

She ignores me and instead takes in a deep breath before asking

"Hey ayanokouji, in your eyes what do you see when you look at me?" She looks up into my eyes and I saw a glint of hope nested in a void of darkness

......

'what did I think of her?'

I take awhile to gather my thoughts, ignoring the rain as it pelts heavily on my body

kiyoko kushida, she's not as unique as she thinks she is, She's not an angel, even though she always helps other, and she's definitely not a demon, in fact her "persona" just makes her more human, it's just that people put her up on a mantle so she can't complain to anyone and eventually it boils up and erupts at one point instead of the usual multiple point.

Just by omitting a little information i could manipulate her feelings, to put a leash on her emotions and mold her into my puppet.... but I look down meeting her eyes

So much potential if I release her from her chains and allow her to develop now instead of keeping her on a leash

The possibilities

'What would my father do?'

'Yes there would be no question, he would defanged her and used her, that is just the type of person he is"

I came here--this school--away from his influence to learn other paths not taught by him

'To free or not to free' i joked

'yes I will take the path he didn't'

"You--are... You crave affection from others, you listen to their needs and offer your sympathies, you do this not because you care but because you like learning about their secrets, others may see you as a devil in sheep's clothing, they'll likely condem you as evil. But to me you are just---- Human. You live laugh love, maybe not the same ways as others but still. I guess that's my opinion of you, 'just human'." I gave what was on my mind

She turns her head back downwards and starts weeping, audible at first but her breathing starts to become heavier and soon her tears came as plentiful as the rain

"Waahhhh!" She clasps onto my shirt crying her heart out

Not knowing what to do I rubbed her back tenderly to show my compassion

"Right now a new chapter begins in the life of kikyo kushida"
