That's Dante Leif

The bell suddenly rung, alerting the students about the second period's start. Laito didn't pull his hand away.

"It's my turn now." He said. "Let's skip this period too?" It wasn't a question.

Mia glanced at him and chuckled in mirth, "Reiji's going to have our heads."

"My head." Laito corrected her. "He likes you too much to kill you." The statement made him frown to himself.

"You have three questions. Ask the first." Mia chose to ignore the fluttering in her heart.

Laito straightened up with a grin, "Now, this will be fun."

He tilted his head, "What did you mean by Karlheinz giving you to him?"

Mia sighed, "You just had to ask that."

For some strange reason, she didn't want to lie. Laito had trusted her with his most intimate memories, somewhere in her heart she wanted to confide in him too.

"I was a mere child when I was gifted to Karlheinz." Mia clenched her fists, ignoring Laito's wide eyes staring at her.

The rustling of the leaves in the tree across of them calmed her down slightly as she continued speaking.

"He looked after me at first, giving me potions to increase my memory reading skill, training me a bit in combat. I was young and he appeared kind...I used to call him my big-brother. For five long years I was hidden from the world, then one day, he just...gave me away to a business partner."

Laito was silent. He slowly shifted so that their thighs were pressed against each other and raised his hand holding hers to place a chaste kiss on her knuckles.

Mia's anger diminished away and she sighed softly, "Thank you Laito, but, I'm fine."

"The hell you are." He said, his brows pulled together in a frown. "He is the reason we're all messed up and to know that he did this with you too makes me want to tear off his head."

Mia squeezed his hand and Laito cleared his throat. "The second question..." He started.

"I'll answer."

"Who gave you to him?"

"My parents did." She chuckled softly at his surprised face. "They used to be up in the ranks but they had fallen down...to regain their standing, they tried to make Karlheinz happy by gifting him their child."

"And you say that demons have feelings." Laito said sarcastically, trying to lighten up the depressing aura clinging to the demon.

"I do." Mia said softly. "I know many others who do too."

A breeze blew softly, blowing through their hair and Laito took in a deep breath. "I see that now."

"Last question, then we'll go get some food." Mia looked at her watch; the bell would ring again in ten minutes.

Laito's expression turned serious. "Why didn't you leave the business partner, he gave you to?"

"Because...I had formed a contract with him, I needed a soul desperately."

Laito was confused, "Can you not just kill people and take their souls?"

"No, the only souls that I can take are the ones my contact-holder tells me to take or ones who get in the way of a mission my contact-holder might give me. If I randomly started devouring people's souls, then the hunters will not take too long to target me or the demon-king might give me a warning too." Mia mused thoughtfully.

"Interesting." Laito stood up. "You're an interesting person, Mia Nakamura. I think you've managed to catch my attention."

"What a joy." Mia commented dryly and Laito let out a chuckle.

"Let's go now." Mia jumped down the ledge as Laito made his way to the exit.

She suddenly sensed a presence, "Laito...go ahead. I'll be behind you in a minute."

Laito flashed his regular grin at her and teleported away.

Another strong gale blew around her, brushing through her long locks. "You were talking about me?" A voice asked.

Mia narrowed her red eyes at the green-haired man sitting at the place which she was recently occupying.

"Yes."

"Hm~ you know I detest being called Karlheinz's business partner or 'he', yet you call me that anyways, my rose."

Mia turned around, walking towards the door. Well aware of the cruel, amused gaze fixed on her.

"I'll need mission update later."

"Of course." Mia answered. "Dante Leif."

____________________________________________________________________________

AH! The person Mia was talking about is Dante Leif. Did you expect it?

I updated twice, I'm so great. (meh...)

I hope you like the chapters, do comment and tell me how you feel about Mia's relation with the brothers.

Thanks for reading.
