I Have A Crush On A Monster Boy

Explanation

Gumi's P.O.V

"Mmgh. Huh? Nani...Itai!" I said as I started to come back. There was some pain on my right arm and I winced. I found myself in a different room lying on a futon, a golden box around me. It had a soft and warm glow. It was comforting I felt as it was a house. Yet, I'm in a house that isn't mine.
"Gumi-san? Daijoubu-desuka(are you alright)?" I heard a girl say.
Looking to my left, I saw Galaco kneeling next to me on the other side of the box she was making.
"H-hai." I said to her weakly, smiling at her.
She beamed and sighed with relief.
"Youkataaa~. I was worried I didn't get to you in time to heal you. I was so scared and so was everyone else. I'm happy you're feeling better. Don't worry, I'll be done fixing you up soon and then you won't be hurting so much anymore." Galaco said cheerfully. Still beaming.
"Arigatou gozaimasu." I said grateful for her help. Then, it hit me. What is this and what happened?
"Galaco-san."
"Hmmmm? Naanii?" Galaco sang.
"Kore wa, nani(what's this)?" I asked pointing up at the box around me with a bandaged arm.
"Hmmm. It's a part of my power. I might as well explain everything to you since you know so much. Also, my memory erasing spell didn't work on you so you're special. Not to mention you might become one of us anyway." Galaco said.
"Tell me what?" I asked, trying to sit up.
"Gumi-san! Please don't push yourself! Lie down! I don't want your wounds to open while I'm in the middle of healing them." Galaco scolded with worry in her voice.
"O-oh. Gomenesai." I apologized and lied down again.
"Ie ie. It's ok. I'm just worried about you." Galaco reassured me. I smiled at her and thanked her for being so kind.
"Hehe. It's ok. So, now, let me tell you what we are. IA, Aoki, and the others. We're called Demon eaters. Sorta like shinigamis but not exactly. The Shinigami are really our leaders; The most powerful of demon eaters and the captains of us lesser demon eaters. I'll be sure to tell you are job in a sec. Maika-sama is the oldest one of all. She was here at the time humans were being created and rules over everyone in our world and overlooks this world. As shinigami, they have the jobs of overlooking us and humans. In which they see who dies and decide where they where they go after they die.
Then, there's us. IA, Yohio, Sonika, and me. We're considered lesser but that doesn't mean we're weak. It just means we haven't reach the point of shinigami. But Mizki-sama and Yuuma-sama, the pink haired people, are almost at that point of shinigami level. If either the one of the previous shinigami dies from either battle, or a lesser demon eater has reached that power of shinigami level, then they'll be able to fight against the previous Shinigami to the death. If they succeed, then they become the new shinigami. Yet, Yuuma-sama and Mizki-sama are always saying that they prefer to wait on that until IA and Tei are grown up. They are their daughters." Galaco added.
"Really!? They're the daughters of those pink haired people!?" I asked with disbelief.
"Mmm-hmm. Funny right? You wouldn't have know about it. But if I didn't tell you." She said playfully.
" Haha. yea. Hey, how do you become a Demon eater? What power do you have? What's your job?" I asked. Galaco smiled and giggled. She then started up again.
"Well, there are a few ways.Demon eaters are chosen by the shinigami when they are sent to them and if the person has impressed the shinigami while they lived, then they are appointed as a Demon Eater. Which is rare, but the most common way of becoming one. Or, if a person is half and half. Which is very rare, demon eaters rarely ever fall in love with humans knowing that it isn't wise to marry a spouse who you might not see again if they are sent to heaven or hell and not appointed. Then the child has to live with seeing the demons and live with a power they probably never wanted. So we mostly marry with other fellow Demon Eaters. Then, in the rarest case scenario, a human is born with the ability to use life energy. Which always happens once every 16 years and the chances of that happening is one out of billions all around the world. Sometimes it doesn't even happen very often. Which is why it's very important and I'll tell you why later. But, now, let me talk about our power source. Life energy.
Life energy is what everyone and thing has. Including demons. It's like the soul's energy. We have a the ability to harness our life energy and use it to our advantage by using it form weapons and use spells. Just like right now, I'm able to use my spirit energy to help heal you. Or how you saw the others fight. It's all spirit energy. Yet, we always train ourselves and yearn to get stronger so we can do our best to uphold our duty. Our passion that has always been passed down. That every Demon eater has died and live for.
Our job and passion is to help protect humans who have been bound to the earth, not moving on. And, protect them from the Demons. Demons would devour human souls that were bound to the earth and not yet helped by a Demon Eater and just wanders the earth until we reach them and help them move on to the shinigami for they can be sent to either heaven or hell.
It's weird though, even though humans are very imperfect, Maika-sama has always loved them. So, she had used her power to protect them and she even recruited the humans who had died, but were very loyal to her when they were alive. So, those, were the first thirteen shinigami. Who started the growth of Demon Eaters. Now, new demon eaters would come in a regulated pace so there isn't over population. Because we don't really die unless we have died in battle.But before you say it's wrong are just replacing everyone, we don't. We mourn for our loss like you but we know, that when one of us dies, we don't cease to exsist, our soul is sent to heaven like everyone else, being relieved from our duty of earthly business. So, any other questions?"
"Hai. Is there a ruler for the demons? Who was Merli? Why does any of this involve Gumiya?" I asked.
"Well, there was, his name was Yami. He was not only the ruler of demons, Merli's teacher and Gumiya's father."
"F-father!?" I stuttered, bewildered.
"Hai. Gumiya is half demon, half human. While Merli is Aoki's little sister and they're half human, half demon eater. Because, they're Maika-sama's daughters."
"Na-nani!?"
"Hai. It was many years ago, Maika had fallen in love with a human man as she when she visited the earth a 100 years ago. And it was 95 year ago when Aoki was born. She was blessed with the power of light and 80 years ago, Merli was born cursed with darkness."
"They're that old!? How!?"
" Because of the Demon Eater blood they had. It made them stop aging at the age 16. Now, they can live forever unless they're killed. Just like Demon Eaters. Yet, even though they're Maika-sama's daughters, they still have the strength of lesser Demon Eater with the close enough strength of a shinigami. While the two were young, they were sweet girls and always looked out for each other. Yet, Merli was always discriminated in the society where we live. It broke her heart. But, that wasn't what twisted her.
She was infatuated with another Demon Eater yet, he broke her heart. All because of her power.All the kindness she had was destroyed too. She broke down. Neither Maika-sama or Aoki could help her.
She went to Yami and he took her under his wing and taught her many many dark things."
"But how is Gumiya the son of something so evil? Why is Merli after him!? Also, why do I have this power all of a sudden?"
"Well, I won't know much about Gumiya's past or his parents. But, I do know that Gumiya was born with half of Yami's powers and he had a demon form inside him. If you want to know more, you have to ask Mizki. She knew Gumiya's mother personally. Also, I do know that the demon that lives inside Gumiya has power that could destroy the whole world in one sitting and Merli wants that power for herself. So she has came up with a way to get that power."
"How!?"
"She has created a crystal that is able to absorb the demon and all she needs to do is awaken it and kill Gumiya." Galaco said with a grave look on her face.
"Ie! We can't let her do that!" I yelled.
"And we won't. We all love Gumiya and won't allow anything to hurt him. She even attempted to kill him last year when he was still a middle schooler. His demon came out and even transformed fully. Yet, we fought and fought until the end. Yet, the victory came at a price. It was the price of Gumiya's mother's life. She too became a Demon Eater just like you and was at the same level as Yuuma and Mizki-sama. She sorta became a Demon eater just like you Gumi-san. She was born with the ability to use life energy. It also developed to a high level due to the interaction of demons. Since Yami was a demon himself. The reason why is because if a person has come in contact with a demon, it would make a person's soul sensitive to other souls and life energy giving them the ability to see demons and us in our true form. Which means we become ghosts again. Ehehe. But, when a person like you interacts with demons, you soul becomes extremely sensitive and you're able to absorb your enemy's life energy, making you stranger. Unless you're Maika-sama or a human with that ability, no one else is able to do that. That is why people like you are so valuable and when a shinigami comes to recruit you, that is when you are able to become one of us. But by choice. You are still able to live your life normally, yet, the society is sworn to protect you. But, it is extremely rare that anyone turns that offer down since a majority of the people agree, yearning for the excitement it brings. So, I'm just giving you a heads up about what you'll experience. So, please think about it."
"Hai, wakata(yes, I understand). Nee, Galaco-san, you said that there WAS a dark lord. what did you mean by that?"
"Yami was killed. By Merli."
"Nani!?" I blurted out, shocked.
"Hai. But I don't know the details. Mizki-sama should be able to tell you. Well, there you go. All better." Galaco said proudly as she looked at me.
"Arigatou gozaimasu." I thanked, sitting up and bowing to her.
"It's no problem. Don't mention it. Well, I guess I'll leave you alone now." She excused herself and got up, making her way to the door when I called out to her one last time.
"Matte kudasai(please wait)!"
"Hmmm? Nani?" She asked, looking over her shoulder.
"Is it true Gumiya is immortal?"
"Hai! And unless Merli takes out Gumiya's heart that holds his life source and demon, fast enough, it'll take alot to kill him. So don't worry. We'll save him. Together." Galaco said reassuringly and left. Leaving me lying there on the futon with only my skirt on, leaving my bandaged arms and chest out. I felt the softness of the futon and began to drift off into a sleep, thinking about everything that I learned; going over it carefully.
Before I let the darkness envelope me, I made my decision. I'll fight and protect Gumiya with my life. Whether he's a monster or not, I'll still love him.
