Akumatokami (demons and gods)

If he knew

I looked Tri dead in the eyes, I had to buy myself more time, "w-what's wrong?" I tilt me head, "you-what- you had a mark on your face!" I straighten my head up, thinking quickly on the spot. "What are you talking about?" I laugh and turn away.

"B-but what did you see?" I freeze while walking, I almost forgot about that. "There was a girl, shoulder length blue hair, you had a strong connection with her, yet you always felt she was, different. One day she just stopped talking to you, and you spent that night crying yourself to sleep."

I finish and walk away. I don't know why but after seeing that girl I feel almost, like I'm glad she left his life. But what am I thinking? Why?

Later at home I discuss what I saw with Nizawei. "Are you sure it was a gods block?" Nizawei asks. I nod, "there was no way I was getting through it, that's for sure. I just wonder what they're hiding from me, I mean him."

The next day at school I walk past Tri and the others without noticing them, walking straight to my class. I got there before everyone else, so it was just me and Nizawei in the classroom.

"You shouldn't distance yourself from him, he might become suspicious and try and look into his memories to see what you saw." Nizawei comments. "And it's not like you WANT to ignore him, I know you like him."

I jolt up. "I-I don't like him, he could be one of the gods trying to kill me!" I yell quietly. Nizawei was taken aback by my abrupt comeback. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that." I soften my voice and stroke my hand down Nizawei's soft fluffy back.

Later on at home I was finishing up my homework from school that day. Nizawei doing her own thing like usual. When she had finished eating she cam over to me. I stroke my hand down her back, distracting myself from my almost complete homework.

She purrs and curls up in my lap. If you didn't know any better you would think Nizawei was a cat, and I guess that's what most people think, but no one has ever brought it up.

I close my laptop slowly as Nizawei falls asleep in my lap, I slowly move to a more comfortable position and slip into the darkness of sleep.

I lift my head and looked around, it was just black as far as I could see. "Hello?" I call, my voice doesn't echo, just fades into the darkness.

"Nizawei?" I call again, still nothing. I look around and choose a direction to start running in. No matter how fast or far I run I don't get tired, one of the perks of my... situation.

"Utsukushi" I hear my name bellowed, the voice familiar yet different at the same time. "Utsukushi!" I hear it again, this time it's coming from behind me. I turn around and see Tri standing behind me.

A yellow light seemed to glow out of him, yellow vines striped down his arms as his god mark, like my half a star. His eyes shone a light blue, to differ from his usual dull blue-green and wind ruffled his hair. And finally he had large angel wings growing from his back, coming to a beautiful feathery tip.

My heart jumped, seeing him like this, it was a mixture between grief and happiness and anger.

Tri lifted up an arm and shot out a small beam of yellow light, activating my demonic side, I feel my eyes go dull, any emotions I had towards Tri disappeared, all except for anger, I felt the mark on my head and wind swirling around me. I jump to the side, landing in a superhero like pose, skidding across the black floor.

"I knew it." He muttered blankly, and lifted up his other hand, this time shooting out a net of light. I use the wind around me to jump high and dodge his net. It flew into the darkness and disappeared.

I snap my head back, flipping over backwards with my wind to dodge another attack. I put my hands together and shoot a ball of darkness towards him. Tri tries to dodge flapping his wings to fly up, but the ball hit his left wing and he fell hard to the ground.

Tri twists around and puts his hand over the new rip in his perfect wings, a light shone out from his hands and the rip slowly healed itself, but enough time for me to jump behind him.

I put my hands out, "darkness embrace." The words slip out and one of my powers shoots out of my hands, a black rope like item swirls around tri, tying him up with his hands behind his back, ties together so he couldn't use his magic.

"Damn you demon." I feel a slight rush of sadness before it gets crushed by my demonic state. I press my powers more and transform into my full demon state.

My once blonde hair grew out to a long, black pony tail, my jeans and a tshirt grew into a flowing dress with parts of maroon with legging like pants connected to the dress underneath, my eyes faded from a glazed-over-blue to a glazed maroon. The half a star on my forehead grew, sending streaks down my limbs like veins.

A sword holder with a sword in it was the final thing to appear before I was I'm full demon mode. I grab the sword and hold it against Tri's chin. "You can not harm me!" I start to dig the sword in, slowly it broke the skin, Tri didn't make a sound, so I started to push it in harder untill the boy fell limp to the ground."

"Utsukushi!" I heard a small soft voice, Nizawei! "Utsukushi wake up!"

The darkness faded from around me and I felt myself enclosed by sheets, which had been blown about while I was sleeping.

Rubbing my eyes I sat up. "Did I do that?" I gestured to my bed, and Nizawei nodded. "You almost killed me!" Nizawei joked. "What were you dreaming about?" Nizawei questioned, curling down next to me, her face facing me curiously.

I explained to Nizawei every detail in the dream, from how Tri looked in his god form and how I had killed him.

My eyes water as I look back on his limp body in my minds eye, I don't feel any emotions back when I was in the dream but now it seems so horrific I'm glad it was only a dream.

But what if it wasn't a dream? What if it was a warning? The thoughts keep flashing through my head. I push it away and look around, I see my laptop lying on the floor and realise it must have been thrown of the bed.

Reaching for it I check the screen, nothing was broken, it was all good. Everything is okay.

For now.
