Hide And Seek With The Devil

~Chapter III~

The blue haired girl could transform to whatever she pleased, but the best part for her was the fact that she had mastered it. She could be anyone she wanted but with a cost. If she didn't know how the personality of the one she was taking the form of was, she would mess the things up, so she didn't use that ability of hers too often. This time it seemed to be different though, she had actually manage to take her friend's form and she....was honestly good at it. Playing and planning games with Sue indeed made her better than before.

Meanwhile, Dorothy was looking down on her feet. Her white socks had been lowered on her ankles and her hands were place onto her white apron. She had nothing to do, nowhere to go. Even if she hated to admit it, this mansion was her house. She obviously couldn't ask for help by her parents, they were both dead and she knew it...so the girl had nowhere to ask for any kind of help. Sue was her only friend all these years and she couldn't ignore that. He was always there to help her even if he didn't talk much. He was there for her..

With a soft sigh escaping her lips, she was about to leave the park and go somewhere else. Suddenly a soft touch from behind on her shoulder made her almost jump in surprise. Was it the woman from earlier who followed her here?

"Hey there~" A rather familiar, calm voice heard from behind her that brought chills to her body. Every time this person appeared out of nowhere her reaction would be exactly the same. Yet.... What did he do here?

"What are you doing here?! " Dorothy tried successfully to stay calm after the scare and looked back and up to the young, yet older than her teenager. Her orange eyes stared at him. He was so stunning, his brown suit was revealing his slim body line.

"Was I not supposed to come tosee you? "

"No I... I didn't expect to find you here.."

Her frown was clear as her words carried a hint of worry... How did he find her there? She missed him already but... She had to find out how to not go back in the house and return to her usual run always.

"Huh? Do you hate me that much to not want to see me? "

Sue leaned over the back of the bench. His slender form almost leaning to face the girl's shoulder as he turned his head to look at her straight in the eye. From her position she was actually feeling too strange. A sudden heat taking its form on her cheeks and her heart beat started to raise, though she had no idea why.

"N-No... I would never hate you... "

"Ow and I was planning to spend some time with you at the mansion..if you would agree of course, but since you don't... " He stood up, turned his back at her and was ready to leave. That was out of his character, to turn around and leave. Ai knew his ways of manipulating the girl, after all and that was clearly a move to make her speak what she was thinking.

"Don't be so sure! I'd like to come with you..... Only if you promise you won't lock me in again "

Sue would raise both eyebrows as this sentence was actually a big change for Dorothy. He didn't expect her to be so afraid to stay there again. But on the other hand, she knew he was the one holding her in there. Ai spoke to herself of an answer to give but she would only nod and took several steps back.

"I give you my word~So... coming? "

He murmured as she followed from behind. The only thing she didn't know was that this 'word of his ' was actually a word of the demoness from earlier. Sue would never allow her to leave in the first place. She was his and he wouldn't make such a mistake to let her see the sunlight out of this huge mansion.

The minutes were passing by, his eyes gave glances at her as the night was a silent and cold one. Dorothy shivered suddenly while walking and the wind started to blow stronger than before. Sue obviously would remove the jacket of his suit and his arm placed it on top of her shoulders while carrying the same smile with the original one. Ai had noticed long ago that Dorothy had a crush on him and she wanted to help him start thinking of her as something more than just a human who he was playing with. The orange haired girl's cheeks had a hint of pink and her glance avoided his own. The house wasn't too far so she wouldn't have to say anything till they arrive, he liked the silence of that place and she knew it. Dorothy remained in the main hall when she stepped again in the house, looking around. So many memories...so many hunts that she hoped that they would remain in the past. The walls were still blood covered and the carpet was all dirty. The brown haired teen walked quickly to the opposite direction "I'll be back in a second, excuse me~" He opened the dope to a random room that turned out to be an office after his apology. "He's still here... " He whispered to himself and rushed to change to the true form of his . Her short skirt appeared instead of the dark colored trousers, her high knee black socks and boots in the end only to be ended by her long dark blue hair. This certain demon left a sigh and smiled confidently. "Right in time~" She whispered to herself victoriously as the hours that Sue gave her were enough for her to give back his princess. Little did she know that the room she just changed her form from Sue's to hers, was the one that Sue was usually staying in.
