"What a lovely name for a little infernal follower."

The morning sunlight woke Kenma up and he wasn't too happy about it. He woke up in his clothes from last night and with no memory of what happened between his conversation with Koutarou and the alleged dream. "What just happened?" He wondered as he looked around his room. Everything looked the same except his bed was a mess and covered in white and black feathers. That's when the memories came back in a random white flash that gave him a pounding headache. So much for a good morning.

The dream was super vivid and...real.

Of course it was real, he was literally in a different realm outside of his own and was nearly killed by some owl-like beast. The thought of that creature scared him and he wondered if it was in the same legion as Koutarou? The way it just quietly left an impression on him and he was curious. And speaking of the Owl demon, Kenma turned around to look out his window.

No owl insight. It is morning so maybe he will come back tonight? He has all day to come up with new questions about his dream. What did it all mean?

As Kenma climbed out of his bed, his body felt sore. He looked down at his arms seeing red marks all over him. A heavyweight sank in his chest and he began to inspect his body more using his wall mirror. There were more red marks on his legs and neck. This was kinda bad because he has to go to school and he is worried that Hinata would assume it was Kyotani that hurt him. The thought of school rang repeatedly in his head and he looked at the time on his alarm clock.

10:25 AM

'Great...imma be late.'  He said to himself as he hoisted himself up from his feather covered bed. His Advance 3-D Art class will be starting in 5 minutes and he wasn't going to make it since this professor is very strict with the attendance and will not let him in the class after 10:30. Oh well. It's his first absence of the year from this class so it's not a big deal to him. Plus, he seems to be doing great so far in the class despite struggling a little in the beginning.  Kenma looked down at the feathers and picked one up in his hand. A smile was present for a moment, then an idea popped in his head.

If he is going to be working with demons, the least he can do is make a ritual space for them. He picked up the feathers that were on and around his bed and placed them on his shelf for safe keeping. He will have to meet the other two demons before making the altar so that will have to wait.

Speaking of which...when will he meet the others? Will he be seeing Bokuto again? Perhaps later on tonight? And if he comes back, will he have that weird dream again?

As Kenma went to the shared bathroom in the apartment, he gazed at the mirror one last time to look at the marks.

"So...this is what it's like huh?"

"Like what?"

Kenma jumped at the sudden voice behind him. He turned around, hoping it was koutarou again but no, it was just one of his roommates, Lev.

The tall grey haired man was up and already dressed to go to work. He looked at Kenma and noticed the red marks. "A-Are you okay??? Did something happen???"
