Forever yours

Chapter 15

Kuroko's Pov

I stumbled out of the door holding my wrist to my chest. It still ached from the multiple cuts I had received. I lurched and would have fallen but a large arm went around my waist and I looked up to see Kagami standing before me, his dark eyes full of worry.

"What happened Kuroko?"

I stood up and looked down at my arm, a long red line marked it from elbow to wrist. Kagami hissed and gently grabbed it but I still winced at the pain.

"They took some blood and then wanted to test how fast my healing was. They cut my arm a few times, timing how long each cut took to heal. They also had me testing my powers."

I smirked and glanced back at the door I had exited.

"They had the same scared look you did when you first saw it."

His hand grabbed my shoulders and he shook me violently.

"How can you joke at a time like this? How could they do something like this to you, you're one of us!"

I looked up and with a sigh brushed his hands off me.

"Sadly not everyone sees it like that, they just see me as a demon with the ability to wield an exorcist's power."

"Kuroko."

We heard footsteps and turned to see three figures coming towards us. Two of them were tall and the third was about my height. The small one broke into a run and before I knew it the figure had grabbed my hand.

"Oh my goodness, you are beautiful!"

The hood fell back and I was shocked to see a girl with bright pink hair staring up at me, her cheeks pink and a huge smile on her face.

"This can't just be your glimmer, I think you are just the cutest thing I have ever seen!"

Kagami sighed and pulled the blushing girl away.

"That's enough Momoi. Why are you and Mitobe here?"

The other two reached us and I recognized one of the others as Hanimya. The third was a tall man with dark hair and a blank face as he looked down at me.

"These are your team members and your keepers."

I fought back a growl as Hanimya smirked at me, knowing he had irked me.

"You will be the first wave of back up to attacks and the first recon team."

"You are putting Kuroko on the front lines? Are you mad?"

Hanimya simply waved and walked away, "that's what beasts are for, they are simply tools and expendable"

"Okay, that was pretty harsh."

Momoi turned to me, a frown on her face.

"Don't take it to heart, Hanimya is known for getting the job done no matter the cost."

The frown on her face disappeared and she grabbed my arm, a smile lighting up her face.

"Let's go get some grub and you can tell me all about your life as a part demon!"

I let her drag me down the hall and she entered a large room that was the cafeteria. The room was half full of exorcists and when they saw me a tense quiet filled the room. Ignoring the atmosphere Momoi led me to the counter where she handed me a tray and began loading it up with food. I heard a chair scrape and watched as a large man moved towards us, a frown on his face.
