•Black Sheep• || The Devil is a Part Timer || Urushihara / Lucifer

༺Chapter 10༻

"And you knew about us the entire time," she nods in confirmation.

After nodding her head, the purple haired boy asks the first question that popped into his mind instinctively.

"I attacked you, and hurt you, yet you still hung out with me?"

"I...Well, I guess it was cause I understood you. My mother told me some stories about you, when she was able to come home from fighting in the war that is."

"She was a warrior? How did that happen?"

"I don't know. She never wanted to talk about it..." Aiko sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged herself.

Urushihara sat down next to her.

"How'd you get here?"

"My mother gave me a spell to use one day. Said it would open a gate to another world, so that I could hide from my father and his colleagues. She left me with that information, and went back to fight. The next day, Satan claimed his defeat. That was when I knew she had died. She always said she would fight until her last breath...I used the spell, and entered the portal. Next thing I knew, I was in Tokyo."

Nodding his head in understanding, he looks back down at the bottle in his hands.

"You know what this is, right?"

"No. I actually don't. Do you?"

"What?! Are you kidding?! This is Angel Grace."

"....what?"

"Your mom must have tortured the shit out of some lower class Angel. They have to willingly give up their Grace. Its seen as one of the most selfish and despicable things an Angel can do,"

"...Why would she do that?"

"It makes sense why if you reread this note," He hands her the piece of paper, which she scans over.

"...If I consume the Grace, I'll fully become an Angel."

"Its pretty much your insurance. Your 'last resort option' if whoever they are get you. Which I'm gonna assume are other Angels. Why, I don't know,"

"I don't want it," She interrupts, throwing the note back in the drawer, "I'll never give up my demon heritage. For anything,"

Aiko looks over at Urushihara.

"Why don't you take it?" His head whips in her direction, eyebrows raising significantly they could almost fly off his forehead.

"You wanted to go back to Heaven right? Take it," She stands up off the bed and goes to her drawer of clothes.

Hara looks down at the glowing glass bottle. His lips curl into a small smirk before placing back in the nightstand drawer.

"Nah, don't need it," he pushes the drawer closed. He looks over at Aiko, her face displayed a surprised expression as she held a pair of black shorts.

"But, I thought..."

"I discovered a new Heaven. Here. Being a NEET is awesome!"

The shorts Aiko was holding were then thrown into the Fallen Angel's face.

"You're impossible," she sighs, but gives him a small smile, "Change into those and I'll set up a movie for us to watch on my laptop."

"Yeah, sure, whatever," He gets up and starts walking to the bathroom.

"What, no thanks?"

He turns his head and gives her a smirk.

"You didn't save my ass this time,"

"So you admit I saved your ass!"

"Pfft, yeah in your dreams maybe," he walks into the bathroom and closes the door.

Aiko chuckles before grabbing her computer from underneath her bed. She laid down on her stomach on the bed and placed the device in front of her, turning it on and going to a free movie website.

A minute later, Urushihara came back out of the bathroom and placed his jeans on the floor next to the door. He then waltzed his way to the bed and hopped on it, laying in the same position as Aiko beside her.

"Oh by the way, everyone kinda knows about you,"

"What?! What do you mean?!"

"You remember that horror game we played? I got no magic from your fear, so that was the first clue that you weren't human. After telling Maou and Ashiya, we kinda fit the pieces together. Then we told Emi and Ms. High School,"

"So that's why they were kinda interrogating me?"

"Yuuuup," he scrolls through the movie titles, "Though Emi, being the air head she is, is still skeptical,"

"Well then why did Ashiya freak out when I told him my mother's name?"

"I don't know, I wasn't told anything yet. He probs told Maou though,"

"Yeah probably...Oh! Also Chiho already knew,"

"Really? How?"

"Weeeeell, we kinda got ambushed on a walk home. There were four beefy dudes trying to kidnap us...I kinda lost control, and attacked them all."

"Hmm," Aiko noticed Hara's fist clench, and he seemed deep in thought.

"B-But we are obviously fine now! No need to worry,"

"Uh huh..." If it wasn't for the light from the laptop, Aiko wouldn't have been able to make out the faint blush on his cheeks.

"Your username makes more sense now,"

"Huh?"

"AY_Al3ks? Aleksandria. Gotta admit, it's far cuter than Aiko," Now it was the females turn to blush.

"Y-Yeah, and yours is very subtle, General_L333," she snickers.

"It was simple, and no one would question it in an MMORPG,"

"That's true...I like Lucifer better than Urushihara anyway,"

The ends of the boy's mouth curved up slightly at her comment. And after a few more seconds, both teens chose a movie to watch.

Two hours later, the movie finally ended, and Aiko was having extreme difficulty keeping her eyes open. Balancing herself up and looking over to her right she noticed a wad of purple hair. Hara's back was to her. He had fallen asleep. The girl closed her laptop and leaned down over the bed to slide it under.

Pushing herself back up, the Daruma doll sitting on her night stand caught her attention. Smiling slightly, she quietly opens the drawer, taking out a black marker. Grabbing the round doll and uncapping the marker, she delicately filled in its other eye.

A gentle tap was heard as the round object was soon placed back down on the table, and the marker put back in its rightful place.

'Wish has been granted. Goal has been achieved...'

Aiko turns around on her side, facing the sleeping boy. Pulling the blanket up over both of them, the bluenette lays her head gently on the pillow.

'I have friends. I have a new family...'

"Goodnight, Lucifer..." she whispers.

Said boy shifts his position after hearing her voice, turning around to now face her. His arm subconsciously makes its way around her small frame. She blushes profusely, but feels extremely safe and warm nonetheless. Her eyes slowly close, and she soon drifts off into a deep sleep.

"G'night, Aleksandria..."
