Indenture

Chapter 5

Hearing the school bell that indicated the end of another school day, Celestia stretched her arms and legs after getting out of her seat. She trailed out the room, dodging a hand from the student who attempted to shove her to entertain him and his fellow friends.

The way people would act sometimes to make another laugh even if it hurt someone,

It disgusted her.

She gripped onto the handle of her bag and escaped from the mockery the students sent in her direction with her head hanging low as she refused to look anyone in the eye.

"Celestia."

Walking out of the two doors, Celestia witnessed Zerro teleport by her side. His pupils were thin indicating a threat was near by and her body grew tense.

"Go behind the school building." The blacked haired girl's expression hardened and she sent him a nod before sprinting towards the desired location.

Her eyes landed on a pair of filthy demons who sniffed the air to find the source of energy they seemed to have discovered in this area.

When Celestia had first seen the sight of demons, she was merely the age of seven and she obviously had been too afraid to fight back when Zerro ordered her too, almost ending life her life in the process. Zerro didn't intend for that to occur and sliced the demons in half with ease before he proceeded to harshly scold the girl for being weak. As she grew older, she adjusted the demons strength and was able to defeat them on her own but it still didn't answer the fact as to why these demons were randomly appearing. When Celestia had the courage to ask, all she was told was that his presence in the human world had helped weaker demons to slip through both worlds. The demon relmn and the human world.

"Make sure to end it quick." Zerro ordered.

Celestia glanced back at Zerro to give her response but he had already disappeared from the scene, leaving her with the evil beings.

They trembled in excitement as they soon realised the energy was coming from Celestia herself.

Taking a deep breath, Celestia closed her eyes as she brought her hands up. She slammed her hands together, both palms meeting and a light spilt out of the tiny gap between them. She soon parted them in a slow manner as it revealed a sword that came out of the palm of her right hand. The sword tattoo she once had on the inside of her hand was now gone.

Gripping onto the hilt of the sword, she vanished and appeared in front of them, instantly piercing the blade through one of the demons heart. Pulling it out, her attention moved onto the next who began to fear her but she froze in place when she was abruptly called.

"Celestia!"

Peering back, her eyes expanded in astonishment at the view of Han who ran towards her and stretched out a hand to grab her wrist. Her sword glowed as a pale blue barrier surrounded her while an exact replica covered him but what surprised her the most was that he was holding another copy of her sword.

"How?" Her words came out in a whisper, too shocked to be able to speak properly.

He looked in her direction for a second as a grin painted his lips before he focused back on the enemy once again.

"The contract between us."

Contract? But she didn't remember ever making a contract and even if she did, she would have-

"I'll talk about that later! Let's finish this creep off and then I'll explain everything." Han caused the shorter girl to come out of her thoughts.

Nodding, Celestia raised her sword at the same time as Han and they both whizzed towards the demon in a criss cross motion to confuse it. Swiping her sword to her right, she managed to slice off its legs while Han easily pierced its heart. The demon let out a shriek of pain, the horrid sound dying away as it's body disintergrated into ash. The shield and sword vanished, along with Han's and Celestia stepped towards the male, the stoic mask she wore over her face cracking slightly as it revealed the concern in her eyes.
