I Have A Crush On A Monster Boy

Recruited and planned

Gumi's P.O.V.
   
"Nee, Sleeping beauties, wake up. Breakfast is ready." Sonika said poking Aoki and I. Last night we ended up having a sleepover and were talking to each other until late last night. So we were tired.
     "Five more minutes." Aoki and I murmured together. Sonika sighed and got up.
   "Well, then you girls won't mind if I eat the breakfast that Tei made for you?" Sonika said. The moment she mentioned Tei making breakfast Aoki and I bolted out the door and town into the dining room and sat down. Still in our blue and orange frilly nightgowns(I had borrowed Aoki's orange one).
          I sat in between Gumiya and Aoki as I began to dig into the breakfast Tei made. It was western styled with pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs.
    "Itadakimasu!  Oishiiiiii(delicous)!!" I said as I began to devour my food. Yet, I was too into eating that I didn't notice the blond lady sitting in front of me until she spoke,
     "You're Kamui-san ne?"
      "Hmmm? Oh, hai. That's me. Who might you be?" I asked politely.
      "Watashi wa Lily-desu. Don't be alarmed but I'm the shinigami assigned to recruit you." She said kindly.
      "Huh!?"Asked, startled.
       "Y-you're a shinigami!?" Wow. It's a woman and beautiful one at that.
       "Hai. I'm here to talk to you in private. But right after you've been dressed and finish this excellent meal. Well done Tei-san. Your food is absolutely delicious. The best I've eaten ever." Lily exaggerated.
     "Arigatou gozaimasu." Tei thanked in a very sincere voice. 
      "So you won't mind ne? I'd also like to apologize about how these past few months have been chaotic for you. Especially since you're still a child in their adolescence. So I would love it if you don't mind." She said sweetly. But before I could say anything, Gumiya interjected,
       "I was actually planning on taking her out after breakfast Lily-sama."
        "Hooo? Gomenesai Gumiya-kun. I promise I'll repay you if you ask me.But may I borrow Kamui-san? This is very important and I promised Maika-sama that I'd report back as soon as possible. But I promise to return your girlfriend as soon as possible. Then you two can go out on your date." Lily said with a smile. Both Gumiya and I spat out our drinks and stuttered out in unison,
       "G-GIRLFRIEND!?"   
           "Nani? You two aren't dating?" Lily asked baffled.
          "NOOOOO!" We yelled in unison again. Our faces flustered.
       "Aaaaw. But you two seem so close. I absolutely thought you two would be a thing. You are cute together. Also, when you said you were going to take Kamui-san out I thought you were talking about a date Gumiya-kun." Lily said.
       "I-ie, what I meant by that I meant as a friendly hang out. Not a date. We're just close friends. Not boyfriend and girlfriend." Gumiya said with a red face as he looked down, pouting. Kawaii.
       " Hahaha. Ok. Well if you say so. So, may I borrow her?" Lily asked again.
           "H-hai." Gumiya grudgingly agreed. Everyone started to laugh and I sat there red faced.
            After I finished my meal, I thanked Tei, and excused myself to go change.
         After I changed into a shirt and shorts that Galaco had lend me, I heard a knock at the door and I got up to open it and saw Gumiya.
       "Gumiya? Doushitano(what's wrong)?"
         "When Lily comes, remember, you have a choice to reject that life Gumi-san. So, please, don't feel pressured." Gumiya told me as he leaned against the door frame staring at me with those beautiful green eyes of his. His face also so close to mine that if I just stand on my tip toes, I can kiss him. But I don't. Instead, I hug him.
        "Gumiya-kun, Arigatou. Shinpai shinaide(don't worry)." I whispered into his ear. He hugged me and buried his face into my neck. Making my body tingle due to the touch and his breath against my skin.
       "Fine." He said reluctantly.
        "Gumiya-kun. Un! Daijoubu daijoubu(It'll be alright). Also, I already made my decision. So, just go. I'll see in a little bit. ok?" I said cheerfully as I pulled away but still held his wrists.
        "Un. Ok." He said smiling.
        "Ano, Gumiya-kun? Kamui-san? Am I interrupting something?" Lily asked from down the hall.
         "Uun. You can come in. Gumiya-kun, Ja'ne(see you)." I said letting him go. He smiled at me and gave me a nod as he started down the stairs.
         "Shitsureishimasu(excuse my interrupting)." Lily bowed before she entered.
           After we settled down, Lily and started with small talk and it was pleasant until she had to get down to business. Yet, there was guilt in her eyes blue eyes.
        "Kamui-san, please forgive me.But I have to ask you something very important. "
          "Alright. What is it Lily-sama?"
      "May you become a..."
       "Hai. I want to join you. I know everything and what I'm getting into. I'll do it. Also, I want to join for Gumiya's sake. If I do this then I'll be able to have the right fight for him. I also wish to fight beside all of my friends." I said with resolve. Lily was about to say something but didn't when she saw how earnest I am about this. So, she sighed and giggled.   
       "You sure are a feisty one. I like that. Well then, may I see your power. According to the eyewitness reports, you are already a skilled swordsman and your weapon is an interesting one. It's a mold that liquefies and solidifies as so it does  protects you. Not to mention, it can.change forms. So, let's see." Lily said with excitement.
       I nodded my head and stuck out my right hand. Then, the silver ring on my pointer finger started to melt and mold itself into a katana. Lily examined it smiling.
      "Impressive. Ok, you may put it away." Lily said. Doing what she said, my sword turned back into a ring. You will receive the rest of your training as a Demon Eater from Mizki and her family. They will teach you more fighting skills, how to sense spirits and demons, the ability to jump high and other cool things. But..." Lily then trailed off and her happy mood was replaced with sadness.
          "Lily-sama?"
           "Kamui-san..."
             "Gumi. Call me Gumi. Everyone else is saying my first name. Why not you? I hope that'll make it easier for you. Also, to be honest, I like my first name better. It sounds cuter." I said in a cheery voice. Lily smiled a bit and then began again.
        "Please don't hate me or the demon eaters especially we're not bad people and everyone actually loves Gumiya-kun very very much. So, when I tell you this, please don't hate Maika-sama or any of us. We were too late to have Tohoku take the demon out but we were too focused on Merli ever since the time she killed Yami. We regret it especially since Tohoku is gone now."
      "What is it Lily-sama?"
       " I-I was ordered to tell you that if Gumiya's demon surfaces, you must kill him on the spot before it destroys everything. You're the only one who could do it since you're a Kyuuseishu." Lily said gravely.
         The moment she told me to kill Gumiya my body froze and I sucked in my breath. Kill Gumiya!? I can't! There must be another way to deal with his demon. A better way. I can't kill the boy I love.
     As if she read my mind, Lily began to speak again,
       "I know you must be thinking to yourself why would you kill Gumiya-kun? You would rather sacrifice yourself than him. Isn't there another way? There is. But, I don't like it. To be honest, no one likes any of those options. But we have to choose. Especially now. Many human souls are being devoured by demons as there numbers increase and become more powerful. And so is Merli. If she gets a hold of Gumiya and his demon, it's the end of us all."
      "Just tell me the other option! Especially if it saves Gumiya!" I demanded.
        "It does." Lily began sadly waiting a little bit before speaking up again.
         "But it involves the possibility  you dying."
         "Nani!?" I asked shocked.
          "You can absorb the demon inside Gumiya but the result would mean that you would end up dying along with the demon." Lily finished. I went quiet as I stared at the ground wide eyed. Torn at what I should do. Kill Gumiya and live? Or sacrifice myself and let Gumiya live. Either way, the world would be saved and someone must go. Doushiyou(what should I do)? 
        "Gumi-san, you don't have to come to a decision this instant. But when the time comes, that's when you'll know your answer. If you excuse me, I'll be going now. Again, I'm so very sorry for everything. Please don't hate us. This is for sake of humanity and the world. I highly recommend that you don't get any closer to Gumiya-kun for your sake. It'll be way harder on you. I wish you the best of luck." Lily hugged me and I hugged her back. Pulling away she said,
      "Shitsureishimashita(excuse my interrupting)." And bowed and exited the room. Leaving me alone, so I'm left there to think about what I'll have to face. I have to fight to fight to save the world but in the end, it's either Gumiya has to go or I have to go.
     I think I might already know my decision. I'm going to be the one to go.
       Yet, I can't help but cry knowing that Gumiya and I might not live together. I must find a different way. I don't want either of those endings. I want MY own ending. A happy ending. I will find a way. But right now, I'll just let myself cry just like the crybaby that I am.
