I was sitting in the hall. It was a church where me and my friends had excel math tutoring. There was Halee, Tri and Kimberly. I never really knew the name of the others in the class. I didn't like making friends, because I know one day I'm either going to have to watch them leave or die. However Halee Tri and Kimberly were all kind of different, I wanted to spend time with them, and when I do I forget the part about death.
And then there's Nizawei, she's was assigned to be my protector since I was born, nine hundred years ago. But the others don't know that. As far as they know I'm a regular fifteen year old, demons and gods don't actually exist. Nizawei is just my pet, who hangs around me to much.
Tri walked in, "hey Tri!" I waved at him. He waved back and didn't respond verbally." Halee and Kimberly were already in the room, but weren't talking, just playing on their phones.
As soon as the other two girls saw Tri they both put down their phones and created a small circle like shape with the four of us. We talked until the teacher called the class in.
Later that afternoon, I sat on my bed, finishing the math homework I had gotten from the excel class. "Hey Utsukushī." Nizawei strolled over and sat by my side. "What's up Nizawei?" I ask, sitting up in a crossed-legged position. "I want to talk to you about something."
After taking a breath Nizawei continued. "When you were talking to tri, I tapped into his aura," Nizawei had a telepathic ability, she could feel peoples auras when she gets close to them, being able to tell when someone had a bad intention or when someone was something other then human.
"What about Tri?" I ask, my heart skipped a beat when Nizawei mentioned his name. "When I felt his aura, he had the aura of a god."
My heart just dropped. I didn't like Tri or anything. Did I? No I can't. If he's a god, he's the race who killed my family. Anger flared, wind swirled around me, blowing my hair, before I felt a tap on my leg.
Nizawei rubbed her forehead agains my leg. "There's more. I don't think he knows." I try to calm down, lowing the wind that had swirled up around me. "How could he NOT know?" I questioned the small animal.
"I. I don't know." Nizawei replied, sounding really defeated. She curled up in my lap, and I started stroking her. "I'll figure this out."
I walked into the school hallway, Nizawei on my shoulders. Tri waved at me but I turn away. If he knew I knew what knew he didn't know would things be different between us? I try to ignore the longing feeling to talk to him. If I got to close and he regained his memories it could be catastrophic.
I walk, Nizawei obviously felt my longing feeling and nudged me with her small forehead. "It's for the best." She whispered, not letting anyone hear her.
It was to much. I'm more then fifteen years old, however I'm forced to go through this part of life again, it wasn't fair. But what the gods didn't know is it ends now. no more growing up over and over, this is it. As soon as I gain enough power I'll get my family back, I'll find a way to lift this curse.
Determination runs through me like a lightning bolt. I lift my head, slowly enough so Nizawei doesn't fall of, and walk the rest of the way to my classroom with confidence.
Soon.
after class I walk out to lunch. I grab my food from my locker and walk over to halee Kimberly and Tri. Nizawei slips from my shoulders onto the table as I sit down.
The four of us talk for a while before Tri pulls me aside. "Hey utsukushi, can we talk... alone?"
I hesitate before a plan formulates in my head, "yea of course!" I reply, reaching my arm down letting Nizawei climb up my arm, and sliding around my shoulder.
Tri grabs my hand and leads me down the hallway to a private area. "I was worried when you brushed me off this morning, is everything okay between us?" "Of course!" I reply. "Phew, in my past I've had so many people brush me off, you have no idea."
"I mean... maybe they didn't brush you off?" I reply, trying to twist the conversation and have it go where I want it to. "Maybe, but unless Someone can read my memories, we'll never know." Tri joked. I smiled. It was perfect!
"I mean, I can do a bit of memory-reading-what-not myself." I look at Tri, awaiting his answer. "Really? So your like, magic?" I laughed a little. "No, it's more like a psychology trick I know." I smiled. "Here."
I grabbed his hand, my heart lurched when I felt his warm, soft hands against my own. I shake it out of my head. "Okay, for this to work you have to keep your eyes closed." I stress to him. It was a small lie, but otherwise he would see me in my demon form, and I couldn't risk that.
He closes his eyes, and I close mine. I blink, I can feel my eyes glaze over as I activate my demonic side. The excitement I had from holding Tri's hand dies as my emotions drain slightly. I feel the wind rushing around me, throwing my hair around, and I could only prey Tri didn't realise. I felt a mark appear on my face, it was a star, cut in half directly on my forehead.
I close my eyes tighter, letting me fall into his memories. I see Tri as a young boy running around, kicking a soccer ball, him in bed doing homework. I try and go further back but I can't, a block had been put on this part of his memories.
The only way a block could be used is if a god had blocked both him and any of us seeing it, the only people who can see or lift the block is other gods. I check again, finding no source of being a god in his memories.
As I search I find one of his ex girlfriend brushing him off two years ago, fast forwarding it to Tri crying on his bed, this will do.
I get jolted out of his memories by hearing Tri scream. As soon as I jump out I feel my emotions rush back, the mark disappeared quickly from my fourhead and the wind stopped instantly. My heart basically stops when I see him gawking at me, his jaw basically on the floor.
Oh no, what have I just done.

A/N first chapter, I don't know if it was good or not, but it's based on a day dream I had and I thought it was a cool story idea so there's a lot more to come :)
