The Bird & The Worm

Chapter 1: Meeting

Hello everyone. This is my first English fanfic so forgive me for all my grammatical mistakes.
This story takes place when Souichi is in high school so he's not our little demon anymore 😉. Hope you like it.
I want to dedicate this story to an user named iizpotato, who inspires me to write about this baby demon Sou❤ read her story...is really good 🙊

-------------------------------------------------

It was late at night when you were walking around the park with nothing better to do, being the new student in mid-semester wasn’t exactly a good way to make new friends, plus the fact your father was a recognized exorcist around town and your mother was gone, it makes people gossip about you.

People believe that being raised with this dysfunctional family could turn you into a “bad influence” to their kids. But in fact, you’re pretty normal to their standards. Anyways, people never listens...so that’s why you’re here alone.

Footsteps can be hear behind you and shivers run down your spine. Despite of being related to the spiritual world, you never like or accept the idea of unnatural forces living among us, you always find a scientific way to explain things. The feeling is still with you so you decide to speed up your pace trying to show confidence. Before you could go into the corner of a crossing street, you see a guy dress all in black, with a slim figure and apparently handsome features. A bad feeling is spinning in your mind: you want to run as far as you can but the left side of your brain tells you that is not a good time to start believe in ghosts so you just decide to  simply turn around and walk away but you can’t move.

-Not now. C’mon! (Y/N) this is definitely not your day.- says to yourself forgetting everything you dad told you about driving away spirits.

Voices filled the echo of the night whispering your name and the creepy handsome guy is getting closer to you. You shut your eyes trying to wake up like this was only a bad dream. Even with your eyes closed you could feel the presence in front of you, not daring to look you turn head back.

-I’ve been waiting for you (Y/N)...- the voice said.

A loud sound is heard at the extreme of the street: what it seems like 2 guys chasing one another are at your sight. You open your eyes to see one of them wearing candles around his head and getting straight to you with a fast speed. You realize you could move again and the feeling is gone, you turn your head to see the entity vanished. Something or someone hits you and then the two are on the floor. You with a little bump in your forehead caused by the artifact in his head. “Ouch” the guy mumbles while trying to stand up.

-Watch where you’re going.- you says sobbing your forehead.

The guy as pale as snow hides behind you when the other guy tries to reach him. You were confused by his actions.

-No way! Souichi get out of there and be a man!.- the guy scolds but Souichi wasn’t listening. He put his hands over your shoulders and giggles. You were trying to get away from the embrace but his hands were firmly attached to your shoulders ...

-C’mon! You maggot! Get the lady out of this. Last warning.

When you see that the guy was deadly serious you decide to interfere in the fight. You clearly didn’t need more gossips surround you: 2 guys fighting in the street, of course it doesn’t look good to a lady to be in the middle of this. With a charming way to talk you address to the boy:

-I suggest you to not fight with him. I hear that his brother is black belt on karate and he’s easily upset.- you say without a better excuse.

After a few minutes of talk, the boy decides to retire, not without giving one last warning to Souichi.

-What a dumbass.- he says turning away from you.

-You should say thanks for saving your ass.- you claim folding your arms.

- ¿Thanks?.- he giggles. -You should be thankful for saving your soul from the intersection ghost.- he answers.

-Whatever….- turning back you start to walk home, today wasn’t a bored day after all. Trying to not think about the spirit you saw you were singing lullabies. You notice a pair of footsteps behind you again and turn around to find out who it is. Noticing the rude boy from before you wait for him to ask him some questions.

-Are you following me?

-Not at all. This is the way that goes to the woods.- he says chewing another nail.

- And what exactly are you gonna do in the woods at this hour?

-None of your business.

-Well, it’s better than walks alone.- you mumble to yourself.- So, what’s your name?.- you asked him.

-Why do you care?.- he replies.

-You’re so rude. If you’re not gonna tell me your name I’m gonna give you one. What about nail boy? Or almost-kick guy?.- you laugh a little trying not to loose sight of him.

For one or another reason it doesn’t seem that you dislike his company. You were a very talkative person when they get to know you, but with him it was like you already know him.

-Fine. It’s Souichi.- finally speaking.

-And I’m (Y/N) btw. So...Souichi can ask you one more question?.- you say smiling a little bit.

-Go, ahead.- replies Souichi sounding torpid.

-Who are you gonna curse?.- dropping the question.- See, I knew a couple of these things and it’s obvious for where you’re going to.- you explain. -Is it an ex girlfriend? The guy from before?.- you asked curiously. Again, you talkative person getting the best of you.

Souichi looks at you with narrowed eyes, deciding if you were someone he could trust or not. Finally, he smiles and says: “You’ll see tomorrow (Y/N). Leaving you immediately after that.

Your house is 500 mts away so you hurry and go inside. In your room while changing in your pj’s you find out that one of your earrings is lost and you start to wonder where did you lose it.

Meanwhile in the woods, Souichi is nailing another doll, he puts his hand in his pocket and looks at the metal piece that is in his hand now: Your earring. What an adorable target you are dear (Y/N).
