I Now Realize

Chapter 5: Small fillers and suspicion (1 out of 2)

So sorry that I haven't published/updated. I have been lazy and owe you guys big time. Christmas break was plenty of time to type new chapters and I hope you enjoyed your break, had a happy new year and enjoy the new chapters. Now, onward with the story, I wonder what will happen. >=3

--One week ago with Alue--

"I had a lot of fun with you guys," Kitaya smiled and hugged the Alue and Akio, who were all behind a row of bushes in front of a apartment building. "I wish we can see each other again. And I won't tell your secret to anyone; promise." Alue put her hand on Kitaya's shoulder and smiled. "Hopefully we all see each other. And if not, then we will meet in another lifetime. I'm glad that we brought you where you should be." Akio hugged Kitaya one last time. "Uh...we're going to miss you a lot." Akio shuffled his foot at the dirt. Kitaya giggled and kissed Akio on the cheek and hugged him. "And I'm going to miss you guys. You're a good friend. Tell the others I said hello and goodbye." Akio smiled back as he hugged her. As he let her go, he and Alue saw kitaya walk to her apartment and waved at them. She hesitantly knocked the door.
A man with blond hair and green eyes opened the door and look at Kitaya with shock and relief. "K-kitaya?" She nodded and smiled, hugging her father. "Yep. I'm back, dad. And I'm ok. Don't worry." Her father hugged her like he would never let go. "Im glad you were safe. But how?" He looked confused. "Lets just say that several good hearted people took care of me." The father nodded. "Well, I wish I knew who they were, and glad you're safe. Now, lets head inside." In that moment, Alue and Akio saw Kitaya for now.
"C'mon, Akio. Let's go." Alue and Akio ran to their hideout...

As the sun settled, Akio lied on his bed, moping. Alue knocked on his door, acting concerned. "May I come in, little brother?" Akio grumbled, flipping the pillow on his head and muffled a few cuss words while complaining. Then he sighed. "Yea, sis..." Alue calmly opened the door and squatted beside Akio's bed. "You like Kitaya, don't you?" Akio groaned, trying deny it, but failed. "It was that obvious?" Alue nodded. "You should have seen you face when it came to Kitaya. I'm just glad your 'falling in love' looks didn't end up on Facebook. Because your face was priceless." Akio chuckled. "Well...sure, we've only known her for, what? Like, two weeks? I don't think that what I feel is a 'crush'." Alue raised her eyebrows. "You sure about that?" Akio nodded. "I have noticed that...I've been different. Out of character, you know?" Alue shrugged. "Oh yea," She smirked. "You always flirt with other girls, Akio. But you never flirted with Kitaya. You have a point there." Akio then grinned. "I think I'm in love?" Alue laughed. "And you make fun of guys who are in love? Karma and Cupid made a deal to make you pay what you deserve. But I think it's cute..." Akio blushed. "Sis! Do you have to rub my feelings in my face??" He threw the pillow at Alue's face. "Yea, because you're my little brother. That's what siblings do." She then slapped Akio with the pillow and made it hit his head, creating a pillow fight until Shade and Jake showed up who pounced on Alue and Akio. "What the heck, bruh?!" Akio's panther tail puffed up like a skunk, making the others laugh. "Expect the unexpected. And calm down your tail, Akio. Otherwise, we're all going to confuse your tail with a skunk and throw tomato at you" Shade chuckled and patted Akio's head. "We were not going to miss out the fun, anyway." Jake smirked and started the pillow fight. It was everyone against everyone as they had their child like fun...

Astoroth's POV

This is strange...my plan is going perfect but something pisses me off. My little minion, Seven. (Well, I call Tony 'Seven' for the experiment I did to him.) And his sister...Violet, who has been avoiding me. I have a feeling that Seven did something that will not only cost his life, but also those who know what I'm up to... Meaning, I need a little help. supervising can't hurt, can it? Heh...of course not. "Casey?" My right hand man went to my side. "What do you need?" Casey leaned against the wall in front of me. "I need you to do a little job for me. How about you secretly supervise several kids?" Casey groaned. "I'm not babysitting." I chuckled. "It's not 'babysitting', it's spying. Lets just say I have thought of some suspects." Casey narrowed his eyes. "Hmm...I'll see what I can do, then. After all, I can form into a shadow." He grinned with pride. Who do I have to spy on?" I tapped on the handles of my chair. "Violet and a few of her friends." "Ah, should be easy, then." Casey cracked his knuckles while I opened the door and faced him. "Be my eyes and ears. And tell me who is the most responsible for this suspicion. Now, go." Casey nodded and left...

Casey's POV

I still can't believe that I have to spy. I feel like a stalker. Luckily, I am a Dark-blood. We Dark-bloods are what you can call a demon I suppose. But not necessarily like that. Though, I won't deny that most of my Dark-blood race are traitors. To put it simply, evil. Very few of us have a good heart, but only because those are half Dark-blood. The only thing we usually lack is mind reading. That is a power not many of us have. But we are like chameleons. We can form into a shadow, blending with multiple colors at the same time. That's our advantage. And speaking of advantages...here goes the camouflage... I listened to the conversation when Violet and her friend showed up, thinking that they were hiding. "So when do we leave?" Violet asked her friend, Destiny. She seemed anxious while rubbing her chin. "Five more days?" Violet thought about it, thinking of the benefits and the disadvantages. "Alright, we leave when nobody notices." She said. Destiny then looked everywhere as if she sensed something. "What's the matter?" Violet asked. "I have a terrible feeling that we are being watched." Destiny slightly bared her teeth in annoyance then tried to calm down. Ugh, this girl must be a Shadow Shear. Their sixth sense is three times better than us Dark-bloods. I'm thankful that she didn't spot me, because she looked back at Violet. "We have to be very careful. Don't trust in anyone, Violet. At this type of pressure, we are not safe." Destiny hugged me and Violet hugged back. "Promise me you won't tell anyone what we and our friends are doing, sis." Violet nodded and backed up. They're not really sisters, but they are very close childhood friends. "I promise." Destiny looked behind her. "We meet up with Darius and the others tomorrow. later." They both nodded and left to their rooms... I think I can spy for two more days. Wait until Astoroth hears this. He will be so pissed...
