Midnight Banshee

Chapter 2: The fearful encounter

(Nagisa's pov.)
At home: It was almost 2:00am . I finished all my class assignment. I was kinda bored.
Street:So I went out for a stroll. Soon I was passing by my academy when I saw a full bloomed Sakura tree. Though it is quiet common to see sakura trees at full bloom during spring but for me it was the first time to see one. I jumped over the gate and went to admire from closer when I heard a screeching sound " Who dares to go near my tree?". I turned around to see a girl standing wearing the school uniform and covered in blood.'A Yokai? And at this place?' The yokai spoke out in a very gruff voice "So you have both beauty and intelligence ,don't you......Well, I AM GONNA HAVE THIS BODY ! MY BODY!!" Saying that the yokai charged towards me. "Ahhh"  I shouted out in fear . Suddenly there was a flash and one arm of the yokai got cut off and the moment it touched the ground it burned. I look up to see a shadowy figure but when it came near me I was surprised to see Subaru was standing in front of me asking me in a very soft voice "Are you ok, Adashino?" "Y-yes...." I  replied. At that time a strange feeling struck my heart. 'What is this feeling?' I asked myself. Suddenly the yokai attacked Subaru from behind . Though he evaded it in time the scratch made by the attack was covered in a dark mist. He looked in an immense pain . Suddenly I noticed the yokai was going to attack Subaru again . I don't know what drove me that I had to put on an action. I raised my hands and shouted out "Yeksei! Ilokai!! Ester Prevella!!!". A ray of red light shooter through my hand and pierced through every part of the yokai until it burned into ashes. Subaru looked at me in amazement. "A power weilder........ huh?"he said. "Yes....I am......A-are you okay?"I asked him. Yet I could see the scratches were still covered in that dark mist." Don't move." I said and swayed my hand over his until a red circle with a red star in it appeared and as the circle disappeared the scratch healed . But the black mist was stop stained over his hand. "Thanks" he said to me with a devilish smile which made a chill ran down my spine and I suddenly blushed hard. "I-I have to return home now.......s-so see you l-later . Saying this I ran to my house. While I ran away I noticed Subaru smile at me in a devilish manner. The worst part of the night was that I couldn't sleep that night!
