I'll Wait (Sequel to "Is It Possible to Love a Demon?")

Prolouge

--YUKIO'S POV--

I stared at the thickly green leaves of the forest where I was to perform my next exorcism.

I sighed, looking back at my partner. She's a new exorcist, Akira. They say she's a knight who might be better than Rin. And he can't be beaten by anyone.

Typically, she looks like a badass. She's got long red hair, piercing violet eyes, andddddddd-

"Yukio," she snapped her slender fingers in front of my eyes, "Quit staring at me like that."

"S-sorry," I switched my gaze from her chest to the ground.

I guess you could say Akira's like Shura. Only she's not. She has Rin's attitude.

Plus she freely expressed the fact that she was a demon.

Her ivory tail ended in a fluff of magenta that swished behind her with every step she took.

There'd been rumors around here about a strange light that'd been glowing every night around midnight. The townspeople got worried and called the Knights of the True Cross for assistance.

I turned my wrist to view the time. Just two minutes left until midnight.

My eyes switched to the bright moon that sent a dim glow upon the trees above us.

Whenever I see the moon, I think of the night when Rin was taken and practically killed. And he survived.

Because of-

The two minutes passed quickly, because the moon suddenly lurched in the sky, giving it a bloody color. It shot a beam down to the area in front of us.

A figure, cloaked in crimson light, remained when the light faded. It seemed female, as was the voice.

On the night of Christ's birth
Nothing of equal value is worth
The thousands of lives lost
Due to a deadly cost

To a girl's dismay
And a boy's delay
One will stand at death's door
And one will rise to the lore

Eight shall live in remorse
One lost by force
Nine players playing a game
Two with a false name

Fiction brought back
There will be no lack
Of choices that affect
What each player can collect

What's gone is forever lost
Secrets concealed in frost
The color represents the death
Of the youngest's last breath

Player one is in for a fright
Player two must survive the night
Player three can't lose the fight
Player four will be in flight

Player five will win with an ace
Player six will lose first place
Player seven is on fire
Player eight is a total liar

Player nine is left to die
Only due to being so shy
Blue and gold will combine
Life and death will collide

Every word she spoke was imprinted into my mind, as if it were seared into my memory with a branding iron.

Players? Game? What?

The red figure vanished without a trace that she'd been there.

"Yukio! Yukio! Are you alright?!" Akira was standing in front of me, panic in her violet irises.

"Y-yeah."

"You just spaced out for a while! Are you seriously ok?!"

"Yeah. I think."

I spaced out? She wasn't real?

No. She was real.

Because the moon is still red.

Blue and gold...

Rin's in danger.
