Well, I finally got to chapter seven!
Chapter Seven
The Demon Gang

"See ya!" Aishiteru yelled to Skye after he had dropped her home. She sighed, daydreaming of Skye as she entered her home. 'I can't believe it's already been a month since our first kiss,' Aishiteru thought, 'It seems like only yesterday. Since then, we've been hanging out constantly. Too bad he won't get his parents to transfer him to my school. Yes, my school is really strict, but it's got to be better than being home-schooled like he is.' Aishiteru shrugged.
Now, she was in her bedroom. She closed the door behind her and smiled. "What are you so happy about?" a voice asked. Aishiteru searched around to see Chie. Her friend was grinning.
"I hear you were out with Skye-san again," Chie stated. "Yeah so?" Aishiteru questioned. "You two go out a lot. You shouldn't. You don't want to wear out a good thing," Chie advised. "I could never be with him too much," Aishiteru protested. "What about Tai-kun?" Chie quizzed. "What about him?" Aishiteru retorted. 'It took weeks, but we got over that silly argument, but we're different than before,' Aishiteru pondered.
"So, you're saying, there is nothing between you guys anymore?" Chie asked. "There never was!" Aishiteru insisted. "Whatever. All that matters is that he's free. You don't mind if I ask him out, do you?" Chie quizzed. Aishiteru shrugged. "Sure," Aishiteru commented, but at the same time, she felt weird. She ignored the feeling and smiled at her best friend.

Tai, Chie, and Aishiteru were trekking along together. Aishiteru bounced a soccer ball and they walked. It was November now and was getting cooler, but Aishiteru made it an everyday routine to still practice her soccer.
"What about this leader demon?" Tai asked. "We've been looking for weeks and we have nothing." Aishiteru and Chie shrugged. "Hey look!" Chie shouted. Both of her friends jerked around, alarmed. "It's a new's stand!" Chie finshed. Both Aishiteru and Tai fell over at Chie's ignorance. "What! You've got to stay updated on the latest news," Chie stated, buying today's paper. "I especially have to stay updated on the funnies!" Chie takes the comics and hands the rest over to Aishiteru. She read the headline and gasped. "What?" Tai inquired. "There's a new gang in the next city. They appeared only a week after my birthday. Isn't that a coincidence?" Aishiteru remarked sarcastically. "They're obviously demons. We'll go check it out tomorrow," Tai told them. "I'll tell Skye-kun," Aishiteru voiced. Tai sighed and began to walk away. Aishiteru shrugged. She and Chie continued to walk home.

The next day, Aishiteru, Chie, Skye, and Tai boarded a train to the city. Soon, they reached it and they all split up. Chie and Aishiteru began to investigate while Tai and Skye searched together. Chie had planned to go with Tai so they could get a little closer. Aishiteru had volunteered to search with Chie before Chie got the chance to ask Tai.
"Why'd you split Tai-kun and I up?" Chie demanded. "I don't know. My mouth just acted on its own," Aishiteru replied."If you're jealous, then why didn't you just say so?" Chie asked. "I'm not jealous?" Aishiteru asked.
"Are too!"
"Are not?" "Are..." Chie started. "Ssshhh!" Aishiteru interupted. "What?" Chie whispered. "Look at those guys over there?" Aishiteru told her. She pointed to a group of guys in their early twenties. Aishiteru could sense the demon aura all around them.
"Go tell the guys," Aishiteru instructed. "Why?" Chie asked, not being able to feel the demons. "Just go!" Aishiteru muttered. Chie reluctantly raced over to where the guys promised to meet them. Aishiteru stayed to get more imformation.
One demon began to inform the others of their future plans. 'This sounds like crucial info. I better go tell the others,' Aishiteru pondered. She began to back away slowly to meet up with her friends, when she knocked into a trash can. It clanged to the ground. Aishiteru gulped as all of the demons raced her way.
"So, we've got a spy," one of the demons remarked. "Let's just kill her," another suggested. "We better not. She might have friends. We don't know if more know about us," a brown-haired demon reminded. "What do we do then?" one quizzed. "We can just torture her into telling us," the brown-haired one stated blankly. Aishiteru began to shiver from fear. She usually tried to be tough, but it was hard when her life and those she cared about lives were on the line.
They snatched her by each wrist amd tugged her along behind them. 'I hope the others hurry,' Aishiteru thought worriedly.

Chie soon reached the boys. They were waiting at the same train station they had gotten off from.
"Where's Teru-chan?" Skye demanded noticing that Chie was alone. "She saw some guys and decided to stay behind and eavesdrop," Chie informed. "You left her alone?" Tai asked. "Well, she told me to," Chie replied. Skye sighed. "She might be in trouble! Let's go!" Tai exclaimed, running off. "You might want to follow me since I actually know where to go," Chie reminded. Tai halted and waited for Chie to catch up. Then, she led them to the alley where the demons had been. 'I just hope Teru-chan's ok,' Tai thought.
Soon, the 3 made it to the site. It was deserted. "Are you sure this is the place?" Skye inquired. "Yes," Chie insisted. "Maybe she's looking for us at the meeting place?" Skye guessed. "I doubt that," Tai remarked. "Why?" Skye asked. "I doubt that she'd leave this," Tai commented, picking up a shiny object. He held it up to reveal Aishiteru's locket. Chie knew that she always wore it and only took it off to bathe and sleep. Chie nabbed it and examined it. She opened it too. "Yeah, this is Teru-chan's," Chie conversed. "This is the picture of her old friend from before she moved to my distict last year. She always talks about him, but at the same time, she doesn't ever tell me anything about him. I'm not sure who he is. All I know is that she cherishes this picture more than anything. I think his name is Tat-something," Chie informed. "Well, those guys must've gotten her," Skye stated. "Way to state the obvious," Chie snapped sarcastically. "We don't have time for this! We've got to save her!" Tai exclaimed. "They stupidly left footprints. They're not smart demons, that's for sure," Skye insulted. The 3 began to follow the prints.

"Let me go!" Aishiteru shouted, kicking and screaming. They let her go, shoving her in a room. "Great way to treat your guests!" Aishiteru commented. The brown-haired demon, who Aishiteru had realized was the leader of this group, sauntered up to her. "I don't have time to stall. We have to take off tomorrow. Just tell me if u have anyone else who's tracking us," he commanded. "I'll never tell you," Aishiteru replied. "In other words, you do have at least one accomplice," he pointed out. "Tell me where they are," the demon instructed, pulling out a blade. "Never," Aishiteru insisted. "Reall?" the demon asked. He sliced her gently on the neck. She gasped as blood beganto dribble down her chin. The demon smirked and licked her blood of the weapon. She showed him a face of disgust and he just smirked even more. He turned and left. His minians followed him out.
Aishiteru gulped. "I can't wait for my friends to come and save me," Aishiteru whispered.
