Isaka sat in one of the dining room chairs, nervous. Krystal should have been back an
hour ago. The demon couldn't help but imagine her yummy, sweet exorcist kissing some other
chick romantically with the sunset behind them. She started to rock back and forth of the
chair.
Or were they already doing it?! She ruffled her hair as she tried not to think about
it - Krystal sprawled out naked on the bed... smiling invitingly to someone that WASN'T
Isaka. She couldn't take it - she was going to go find her and beat that other girl to the
moon!
Just as she resolved to do so, Krystal unlocked the door to her apartment and walked
in. The demon froze as the blonde let out a long sigh. Her hair was messy, her clothes
disheveled and there was dust on her skirt. It didn't take her long to jump to a conclusion
and as Krystal shut the door, she found herself being push into the wall by a teary eyed
demon.
"Krystal... am I... is it because of last night...?" The woman in question was greatly
confused as Isaka pressed closer to her. "I can't believe you did this to me... I... I love
you more than anything and I'm not about to lose you to some... some insistent hussy!" The
demon kissed her passionately and Krystal's questions only came out as soft squeaks.
"I'm going to make you love me... you aren't going to remember her after this!"
Krystal was starting to catch on to what Isaka was thinking, but being thrown onto the bed
disrupted her thoughts. "W-wait," she managed to choke out. "Isaka, this isn’t what you
think-" She was cut off by another searing kiss as the demon tore at her clothes. And she
really liked her outfit today too...
"No one can love me better than you..." Isaka whispered in her ear, voice husky.
Krystal shivered as she continued on, "I'm never going to stop and I'm never going to let
you leave me." The exorcist tried to push back so she could explain the situation, but Isaka
was much too strong and she had no choice but to submit.
However, she was saved by her phone ringing. The demon snapped out of her daze and
looked down the hall. Krystal's phone... her phone was ringing... but who was calling...?
Isaka practically dashed out of the room, leaving Krystal alone. The blonde girl let
out a sigh, happy to be free. It wasn't that she disliked love making - it was just that
Isaka was in one of her crazy moods again... She curled up in the blanket, happily snuggling
in and falling asleep.
The demon finally reached Krystal's phone, as she had left it in her purse by the
door. She yanked it out and without checking who was calling, answered with, "You
treacherous whore! How dare you call this number?! I'm going to rip you to shreds if you
don't stay away from MY Krystal!"
There was silence on the other line until a recognizable voice came over the line.
"...as much as I like Krystal... I don't intend to steal her from you..." The demon clamped
her mouth shut. The person on the other line was Sakura. "Uh... I thought someone... someone
else was calling..." Isaka managed to blurt out.
"Ah... okay..." It was quiet for a full minute. "I am not used to the phone, but...
Abby wanted to call and see if you could come over next week on... Friday and stay until
Sunday?" Isaka peeked down the hall, suddenly embarrassed. She'd just been about to ravish
Krystal over and over again and now had to ask her if she wanted to go over to Abby's on
Friday next week?
"I'm sure we'll be fine to come over." There was another awkward silence. "...okay. I
hope everything with you two is fine..." More silence, until Isaka said, "Uh, yeah... we're
figuring things out is all..."
"Alright... I will see you Friday." Then the awkward call ended, leaving Isaka feeling
like a nimrod. Okay, so maybe she'd ask Krystal later - next Friday was still a long ways
away. Isaka set down the phone and walked back to their bedroom. She could see blonde hair
sticking out from beneath the blankets and saw a curled up figure beneath the sheets.
When Isaka pulled back the blankets, Krystal let out a long groan. "No... I'm so
tired..." The demon leaned over her to give her a kiss. "Mmm... I dunno Krystal - maybe we
should go take a shower together first."
Krystal just gave her a disgruntled look, pulling the blankets back up over her torso.
"I didn't sleep with her or cheat on you - I promise! So can you please stop? I'm really
tired..." Isaka gave her a knowing smile. "Mm-hmm. Which is why you came home all dirty and
sweaty, right?"
She let out another groan. "No... another shadow beast showed up so we had to defeat
it together. She says I should be training my exorcist powers too." Isaka tensed up and
turned the story over in her head. It was... it was plausible... There had been lots of
shadow beasts around, so maybe...
The demon flushed a bright red. She never did let Krystal tell her side of the story -
she just jumped on her. Crap. Way to totally save your relationship... "She wants me to find
a teacher..." Isaka perked up at the sound of that.
"What?! I'm not going to let you get 'private lessons' from her!" Krystal took Isaka's
hand in her own. "No, no, no. She said she can't do it, so I have to go find a shrine or
temple..." She frowned at the demon and sat up. "I wish you would trust me a bit more. I
would never cheat on you."
She gave Isaka a light kiss and fell back on the bed. "Thanks to you, I'm even more
disheveled. Why did you attack me like that?" Isaka played with her blonde hair. "Because I
was hoping to show... uh... my, uh... love? Dominance? ...hmmm.... I can't describe it -
it's a common demonic reaction to this stuff."
Krystal scoffed. "Well, I hope it was love-" Isaka caught her up in a fierce hug.
"Yes! YES! I love you so much Krystal and I'm never ever going to leave you, my sweet,
beautiful exorcist." Krystal settled in happily to the hug, trying not to laugh. "You could
have said that instead of scaring me half to death..."
And when Krystal decided to take a shower, Isaka willingly stayed behind.
*****
"I'm really really really sorry, b-but I got ice cream, cake and- and, I got you a
glass of milk, hahaha." Once Isaka realized how PO'd Krystal actually was, she entered
girlfriend suck-up mode. Krystal was currently sitting on the bed, staring at all the treats
in front of her as the demon kneeled on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
"I'm sorry for doubting your trust and then proceeding to jump on you like a horny
brat!"
Krystal sighed and started to eat. She was still tired.
"I am really sorry, Krystal... I just... after we talked last night I was really
worried you would leave me, but I promise I will love you no matter what! Even if we don't
age at the same rate, stuff like that just doesn't matter." The demon gave her a sincere
look from her position on the floor.
Krystal looked over at her and gave her a small smile. "Thank you... but this means
you have to let me train every day, now." The demon pouted, but didn't object. "Those shadow
beasts are a pain and I have to be able to vanquish them on my own. Otherwise, we could be
in big trouble."
Isaka relented and decided that Krystal was right... sometimes, Krystal would have to
do things on her own.
*****
Krystal sighed as she tried not to trip on the path. Isaka had been so morbid earlier,
sad to have to see her leave for the day. The plan was for her to train and then come back
home. However, the hours were pretty sketchy, but she would be sure to call the demon every
night.
For right now, she had to worry about actually finding a place. After searching
around, she picked up on a rumor of a shrine hidden in the woods. It wasn't too far away and
Tsuru did recommend trying to find someone to help her.
Ah - that was right. Tsuru wanted to hang out again later. Maybe Krystal would be
wiser this time and not spend so much time with the girl or be sure to call up Isaka if
things went too late... so complicated.
Her thoughts drifted away when she finally came to dusty stone steps leading up to a
beautiful, well kept shrine. She walked closer to the entrance and heard some random
humming.
Sitting on the actual steps of the shrine was little girl, maybe 13 or 14, whittling
away at a piece of wood. Her humming stopped when she heard Krystal's footsteps get nearer.
The girl's eyes were a warm shade of hazel and she had long blonde hair tied in a low
ponytail.
"Uh... hello," Krystal said and the girl got up to look at her. She was dressed
normally, in jeans a t-shirt, vaguely reminding the young woman of Eveon.
"...wow," the girl said, going down the stairs to walk up to see Krystal. "You're
really pretty! And..." The younger scrutinized Krystal for a bit, trailing off.
"Tsuki! Tsuuuuuki!" The girl called turning back to the shrine. After a few seconds,
Krystal could hear someone coming out.
"Hina, what did we say about yelling at the shrine? What is it?" Another girl
appeared, this one looking to be 17 or 18. Her brown hair was up in a lopsided ponytail,
decorated with various clips, pins and ornaments. She was wearing a long sleeved shirt and
her blue eyes were quite clouded, as though she'd just been sleeping.
She stopped to look at Krystal and came down the stairs to stand next to Hina. "Oh,
hi. Please ignore my sister," she said, placing a hand on the shorter girl's head. "She can
be quite strange..." She also trailed off, giving Krystal an appraising look.
"My, you sure seem quite adept at holy power. Are you aware of the potential inside of
you?" Looks like Krystal found her place.
"Uh, yes! I'm actually an exorcist, but unfortunately I have very limited training...
I was hoping to find a place to help me." The two girls exchanged glances and brightened up.
"Of course!" Hina said, quite eager. "We're exorcists too and we can show all sorts of
cool things-"
Tsuki put a hand on Hina's shoulder and steered her to the shrine. "Alright, alright.
You're still in training too, okay? Go clean up the mess you left by the steps." Hina pouted
but obeyed her sister.
"She is right though. We can train you. I'm still in training as well." They shook
hands, but then Krystal looked over at Hina.
"You two are sisters? And... are you self training each other?" Tsuki laughed.
"Well, I was meditating before Hina started shouting about you, but we don't really
self train. We have guides and manuscripts to follow, but our big sister is the one who
helps us out. She's quite good." Tsuki looked over at Hina, who was picking up the wood
scraps. "We aren't really related, I don't think. We've just been together ever since we
were young that I no longer remember."
Krystal nodded and adjusted the pack on her pack. She'd brought extra clothes and her
sword was wrapped and tied around her waist. Hopefully training would be that hard. Tsuki
motioned to her. "Let's go inside. It will be nice to have someone else around and maybe you
can meet our big sister."
