Rui continued to motionlessly stand and stare into my soul as he kept twitching from anger. The rage in his eyes felt so haunting, almost making it seem like he's going to flame up out of pure blood-boiling fury any second now, but instead he gritted his teeth and clutched his fists, trying to keep his cool while talking to me.
"Support.? Well then, if you're that smart, come here and show me how you properly support someone." He demanded in an irritated tone.
...
Alright, here goes nothing.
...
I hid the terrified girl behind Enmu's back as she gently grabbed my sleeve before I took a step off the creaky wooden porch. Her hand slipped off as I continued approaching Rui closer and closer, noticing him try his best to hide his annoyance while watching me walk over to him. I looked down at Rui and his cold demeanour crawled under my skin and made my breath shake from an indescribable feeling of paralysis that hit me at full force. But then I calmly inhaled and proceeded to my speech, genuinely hoping for a miracle at this point.
...
"You know Rui... You aren't a bad person."
"What the fuck are you saying...." He muttered as I placed my hand on his cold cheek and gently stroked it with my thumb.
"You will get your perfect family one day...~" I said as a his skin became warmer, and he started softly blushing after a long pause.
...
"Stop spitting such insincere things.."
"I don't use my words lightly.~" I quietly whispered, flashing a soft smile at him.
...
"I refuse to believe that a demon can be as kind as you are." Rui silently added as he turned his face away so nobody would witness him like this.
He stayed motionless for a while, and after a few seconds he stepped closer and hung on me like a little child. I felt his aura instantly change, as if he finally accepted me as his source of love, which he craved his entire life. He pressed himself close to me and I placed my hand on his head, gently sliding my fingers through his pale lilac locks as he refused to let me go.
"Please join my family, I will do anything, I promise, I will never hurt you." He quietly sobbed into my thigh as he fell onto his knees and wrapped his arms around my legs.
"Rui my boy... I cannot join your family, I have my own relationship... But.. If you promise to be nice to your siblings, I will come and visit you more often..~" I offered as I squatted down to him with a warm smile on my face, lightly patting his shoulder.
...
"... I promise.." He quietly mumbled into my shoulder as I picked him up in my arms and carried him over to the porch.
He was as light as a feather, and so small... Like a tiny kitten. He snaked his arms around my neck and nuzzled into it as I held him in my embrace until we reached the entrance to his house, and I carefully placed him back down on his bare feet while glaring into his childish eyes, leaving a small kiss on his nose. The girl who stood behind Enmu's back hesitantly came up to me with tears rolling down her warm reddened cheeks and I hugged her one last time, slowly stroking her back with my hand. She pressed herself close to me as she smiled and whispered her thankfulness into my ears.
"Thank you so much... I... I cannot express how grateful I am to you..." Her gentle voice softly rung out as her shaky hands grasped onto me tighter.
"Sure thing...~ I'll come visit Rui later on this week, so we'll see each other again.~ I was glad to help, we'll definitely talk more next time, okay my dear..?~" I muttered back as I stared into her deep cyan eyes, which glistened with honour as she nodded, beginning to blush even more.
...
"Well, see you soon, then~" I exclaimed as I took Enmu's hand in mine and waved back to them once we began to descend down Mt. Natagumo, which turned out to be the mountain opposite mine.
We strolled among the dangling branches with ivies intertwined with them as the howling cold breeze crawled up my legs, making me shiver from such unexpected blasts of freezing air. I stared down to my feet while I walked, kicking tiny lumps of dirt as my hair flowed around my face and revealed my sad-looking eyes to Enmu now and then.
...
"Are you alright? You look so empty on the inside" Enmu questioned, breaking the silence and letting his curiosity peek in.
"Mm..? Oh yeah, I'm fine, I just... got lost in my own thoughts.." I stuttered as Rui's mother's sweet voice kept playing on repeat in my head and my mind kept imagining her precious smile.
...
"I never expected Rui to become so attached to you out of nowhere, and I was surprised when you started to intercede for his mother as well" Enmu added.
"I'm just as shocked myself.." I blurted out as yet another awkward moment of quietness reigned over us for about half a minute.
I didn't understand why I felt so sorry for that girl myself... I haven't felt this way in a long time.. When I found her crying in her room, a vile feeling appeared in my chest.. And the moment I laid my eyes upon her I could almost feel her pain myself... It felt like someone was tearing and crushing my heart, or pulling out my soul. It was odd experiencing such emotions while being close to her. And I still don't get why that happened...
"It's just surprising seeing such a sadistic creature like you actually feel bad for someone's misfortune" Enmu's voice echoed out again, making me click back to reality.
"Yeah.. That's what I'm saying... I don't know what is it about her that made me feel that way..."
...
Maybe it's because she said that I reminded her of someone she loved in the past...
