After we talked about how and why she came here, we thought about how to introduce her to my mom. And the only thing that we came up with is to make mom believe that Kuro is an orphan now.

I told Kuro to dress up like a girl. Because meeting my mom with a red coat and just shorts and bra is.. you know what I want to say.

I asked her if she could do something about her horns and tails, luckily she can hide it.

Now the only problem is her clothes, but I don't have any clothes for girls, but I can buy her some.

When I was just about to go out I saw her already wearing an outfit. Guess she can make clothes and stuff.

Then I told her to appear in front of our house, then knock. I will be waiting for her.

Then I introduced her to my mom, they got along so well, it's confusing me whether they have the same brainwaves or like that.

And now,

"Kuro! Hurry up!" I said looking at her in my back while running.

"I'm running as fast as I can you know?"

Somehow, I hacked the citizens record at the internet and put her information there. Please don't tell anyone.

Anyways, she will be transferred to my school.

"Hey Shiro-kun." she asked while running.

"Hm? What is it?"

"Did you know that I can teleport?"

"Yeah of cou--"

I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT! I stopped for a second to talk to her.

"Y-You can?" I said while panting.

"Of course." She answered.

"Well, we are near at the station so, maybe next time. You should've said that to me earlier geez."

"You didn't give me a chance you know! You just started off running."

But looking at her, she's not panting after running all the way from there, her stamina must be high.

No, actually she's not human that's why.

After looking at each other for a while, I heard the train stop to drop passengers.

"Oh! The train is here! Let's go!"

Because I thought we would be late, I immediately grabbed her hand.

I almost didn't notice that I did that. Kuro was surprised too.

Then we got into the train before it leaves.

Kuro on the other side, she's new at riding a train, she also looks at everything inside with an awe in her eye.

"Hey Shiro-kun."

"What is it?"

She pointed at the top. "What's that thing called?"

"Oh. That's a handle bar. You can hold it if you're a bit dizzy."

"Hm. handle bars huh. Let me try you." She said with a challenged face.

She tries to hold it but she can't. With that height? I think not.

"H-Hey Shiro-kun."

"What is it? You can't hold the bars?" I looked at her and asked.

"Yes.. kind of.."

Knowing that already, I held the bar by my right hand and said, "Here, hold my arm." She looked at me with confused eyes at first, but she gets what I mean now.

"Ah, right. Okay. Thanks."

Then we stopped talking.

I don't know why we stopped talking but my instincts said that I shouldn't talk.

"Hey Shiro-kun.." Kuro asked looking embarrased. Why the heck would you be embarrased?

"Y-Yeah? Are you getting dizzy?"

"No.. I just want to know what 'lovers' do, what girlfriends do.."

Hearing her answer made me gulp.

"W-What lovers do? Ah.. that's easy... they hold hands... they kiss and stuff.. they date.."

"Hold hands huh.. then, what I am doing right now is a part of being a girlfriend right?"

That's right! She's holding my arm, and I'm letting her.. does that mean we're really dating?

.... I think not. That's just so shallow.. there are more things that we can do, to be able called 'dating' than this. I think.

"No, I think not. Being lovers means more than holding hands, kissing or dating. There must be some thing that we both don't know. It's both our first time right? Then we should not rush it. It's always the best to go slow than to go fast."

Yeah, what I said is true. In life, if you're always going too fast, then you'll not see what really is the meaning of the present. Like this. We still don't know what it means to be lovers, but if we go fast and treat what we are doing right now as 'dating' then we would be having false ideas about love.

In present, right now, I have her in my arms. But that doesn't mean she's already in love with me, that goes with me too. See? You'll lose sight of what present really means if you go beyond that.

"Shiro-kun, you can say cool things sometimes. I thought you were always lame."

When she said that it feels like something hard hit my head. I answered, "L-Lame? I-I'm not lame! Its just.. I don't have that many chances to prove that I'm not lame.."

"Ehhh?" she said.

Then the train announcer goes off.

"Oh. This is our stop. Let's go now."

"Okay.."

We walked for 5 minutes, my school isn't that far from the station, but it's not that near either.

As we stop at the front of the school, Kuro's eyes widened and shined like a new flower blooming at the tree.

"Here we are. Tengoku Highschool. It's a bit big right?" I asked her, but she looks like she sees something far more interesting than talking to me.

"W-What is that thing!?" She pointed her finger to the big black thing at the front.

"That? It's called gate. You see one in my house right? Just a smaller one."

"It is!? I thought it's a door!"

"No, it's not. Come on. Let's go now."

After that, I told Kuro to go to the school faculty so that she can introduce herself and be able to get transferred.

It doesn't matter whether she get transferred on a another room, she said. As long as we're at the same vicinity.

So the classes are starting now.

The teacher goes in.

"Stand. Bow. Sit."

"Good morning Teacher Shizu."

"Good morning. Today, you will going to have another classmate. Go on. Tell something about yourself."

What are the odds..

Wait.. I didn't tell her that she must keep secret of her real self... but that should be given right? Right!?

"I-I'm Hikari Kuro.. I'm a bit new to this world.. so if you would.. please be good to me.."

Phew.

The class is confused, they started saying things like, "World? Maybe she means room?" While the girls are saying like, "She's gorgeus", and "A cute girl! We have yet another cute girl in here huh?" While the men.. of course.

"Come on, I wanna talk to her."

Well, it's normal. She's beautiful, her voice fits an angel, wait she's a demon, eh never mind.

"Okay. Sit there right next to Akashi-san."

"O-Okay Teacher."

H-Ha!? This is not the plan!

By the way the plan is to not get involved with me or whatsoever, because that'll be a problem. Suddenly going to school after two weeks, and suddenly having a transferee will spark some people's minds.

"Y-Yo. Kuro." I said while she sat beside.

"Hello.."

I knew it. The class started talking about us.

"I smell something fishy about Shiro and Kuro-san.. Don't you think?"

"Akashi-san didn't go to school for two weeks right? Then suddenly he goes in and he even greets her like they know each other!"

That guess, hit the spot.

The teacher clapped her hand and told us to stop thinking about things, and then she started the class.

*Clock Rings*

-Lunch Break-

After some of my classmates got out, I talked to Kuro.

Currently she's sitting at her chair. She's looking at her lunch, ready to eat anytime.

"Hey, do you want to eat with me?" I said.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"H-Huh? O-Of course.." she replied, "But, what if they see us? I thought we musn't get involved with each other?" She whispered.

Hm. Change of plans. Maybe we should at least talk to each other.

"It's okay if we are just talking to each other."

After she gives a 'oh, okay' look she then looked at her food and then asked me.

"Hey Shiro-kun, why is it that you don't have any friends?"

To suddenly ask someone who don't have any social skills that..

"E-Eh.. it's because I'm different from them.."

"Oh. Different. You mean you like that thing they call anime?"

Stop! I'm gonna cry!

"Y-Yes I do.. I don't know why but when a person likes cartoons sometimes people just don't want to be friends with them.. like me."

"Hm. Then why don't you try and make some friends?"

I let out a sigh. "I tried, but I really am diffirent from them. Besides, I already have a friend."

"Who?" She asked.

"You of course. You're my friend."

"I'm your friend? I thought I'm your girlfriend? So that really means you don't have friends Shiro-kun!"

What kind of logic is that? 

"Y-Yes you are my girlfriend but that doesn't mean that you're not my friend, you see there's even a 'friend' at the end of the word girlfriend!"

Crap, I might have said that out loud. Hopefully someone didn't hear tha--

"So you two are dating?"

CRAP! "As I turnrd around, I answered her. "Y-Yes we are.."

WHY DID I ANSWER HER? Now people will get the wrong idea about us, this'll be a problem.

As I look at where the voice came from, I saw a woman with big chest, short maroon hair, wearing a school admin uniform.

"B-By the way you are?" I asked her.

"You forgot me already!? I'm the one who talked to you at the phone Akashi-san!"

Ah right, the class rep!

"Oh. Class rep! I'm sorry I forgot. I didn't remember anything about you honestly.." when I said that, her eyes showed anger and she pouted. "By the way, why are you here class rep?"

"Ah. I'm here for Hikari-san. Can I talk to her?"

"W-Wait a minute.. what's your name again?"

"Really! It's Satsuki! Minami Satsuki!"

"Ah right, wait a minute Satsuki-san."

I then took Kuro to the side of the room and told her that she shouldn't say to anyone that we are living together and that she is a demon. She agreed quickly.

-After Class-

I asked Kuro to go home with me, of course. We're living at the same house. But if we just suddenly go home together then that'll be more troublesome.

Wait... what if asking her to go home together will spark more minds?

Ahh forget it! Don't mind them!

As we are walking towards the station, Kuro said that she wanted to buy some ice cream. So we bought some. She enjoyed it, she said it's sweet and that it is refreshing.

She asked me if we could go near the forest, she said that she wants to see the trees before we go home. I agreed. I want to get fresh air too.

While we are walking, Kuro stopped. She signed a stop sign at me, and she looked around the trees.

I asked her what's the problem.

"What is it Kuro?"

"The winds are still. The insects are silent. There is something strange here." she said looking worried.

As I was about to tell her it's nothing, a chain came from above us towards Kuro.

"Kuro! Watch out!" I warned her as I saw the chain.

But it's too late, the chain has already captured Kuro when I warned her. Kuro uttered some words and the chain that was holding her melted like it's nothing.

"What the heck was that Kuro?" I asked her. "That chain.. it's not an ordinary chain.. it's red and it is moving by itself.." I said.

"That's a skill, Demon Bind."

"What?"

"I will explain to you later Shiro-kun, but now, we need to focus."

"Focus about wha--"

As I was about to say that a man came from the top of the trees, a slam sound can be heard when he landed down on the ground.

"Who are you?" Kuro asked the man.

"Hm. Not bad, those reactions are fast. Maybe I really can have fun with her." then the man smiled while licking his fingers.

"I said who are you? Why are you targeting me?"

"Ah.. it'll be no fun if we just answer that directly.. by the way-"

Before he finishes his sentence, a black razor-sharp bullet hit his cheeks. It was Kuro, she shot the man with her fingers pointing at him.

"I asked you a question. Now answer me."

The man, looking pissed said, "Like I said-"

And Kuro shot another one at him, but this time the man dodged it.

"Would you please let me finish my sentences first?"

"I got no time to waste on people like you."

"Oh, I'm starting to have fun now!" he said while smiling.

Then the man pointed his hand towards us, no, behind us.

"Frost Nova."

A nova of ice came from behind, Kuro quickly used a skill and blocked the attack.

"Oh? To cancel an attack in point-blank range, you must have some sharp senses, kid."

As I look at him, his eyes were fixed at Kuro, but when his eyes came unto me, I felt an intense amount of fear, it made me unable to move my body.

"Shiro-kun!" Kuro shouted.

Then the man from the front dashed and he was about to strike me using a sword-like attack, but Kuro successfully deflected it, she used her hand and smacked the sword upward, she then took me and she teleported me far from them.

"Shiro-kun! Are you okay?" she asked.

"I-I think I'm okay.. how about you? What was that all about?" I asked while trying to stand.

"They are enemies Shiro-kun. They are asmoriths."

"You mean.."

Just when I knew what was happening, the man from before with the sword came to us again, but this time, he attacked Kuro.

Kuro was not paying attention that time, but at the last second she felt the man's presence, but it's too late.

The sword hits Kuro's arm, but it is just a slice, Kuro on the other hand formed her hand like it was holding a ball, then suddenly a small black-hole looking ball was formed in her hand.

She used it to strike the man back, and it did.

Smoke came from the ground, it covered the scene where Kuro hits the man.

The smoke is thinning, and the man who just got hit stands up, with his shoulder bleeding.

"Ah, come to think of it, we didn't get to know each other right? I'm Zecharias, an asmorith. Captain of the first soldiers. And that man, at your back is Mordecai, the advisor of the lord of asmoriths."

Kuro was alarmed by what he said 'at your back' so she quickly turned around and said, "Ashen Immolate!" and a crimson flame was formed just right in front of her, melting the ice that is forming point blank at Kuro's face.

"You really are good ain't you, Zecharias here will finally get satisfied if we caught you and that boy."

Kuro said angrily, "You will never catch him as long as I'm standing here."

Both man were standing, not doing anything as they listened to her.

Then suddenly the man at her front said, "Well, thanks for the tip." and strike Kuro with an ice spear, Kuro didn't dodge it and got hit at her shoulder, but as she fell down she saw a gap on Mordecai's back, she then teleports behind Mordecai as she said, "Blink." Mordecai, not knowing where did Kuro go was surprised, because of that Kuro had the chance to charge her attack, and a crimson snake formed behind Mordecai, and it hit him, it strike through Mordecai's chest, and came back to try and strike his head next.

It was sure that Mordecai's head will get decapitated when Zecharias teleports just before it hit Mordecai's head and said, "Whoops, that was close." and then blasted the crimson snake into pieces. 

Kuro then used blink at my back and she said, "Shiro-kun! We need to get out of here!" me of course because I can't do anything I just agreed at her, but just before she can use blink and teleport us away, a large hammer made with ice came to strike both of us.

Luckily, Kuro used ashen immolate to melt the ice, she used it to form a flame barrier for us.

As the barrier came down, the two asmoriths who were just hit and bleeding by their wounds was slowly walking towards us, and one of them said, "You can't escape us little girl, even if you teleport a thousand times." it was Zecharias, whose shoulder is not even showing any scratch. "Ah, now that hurt." said Mordecai, whose clothes were pierced but not his flesh; his wound is gone.

Kuro, looking angrily at them said, "Looks like I have no choice but to fight. Forgive me Shiro-kun, but I need you to get out of here."

As I knew what she meant by that I told her, "No! I will stay! Even if I can't do anything I will stay with you! You're my girlfriend right! And a girlfriend should never be left alone by his boyfriend!"

Kuro smiled and looked at me with such kind eyes said, "Shiro-kun.. I'll be back to get you okay.. when that time comes, I will let you do what a boyfriend should do. But for now, let me handle this."

She then touched my face, and my body vanished.

She teleported me far away from the battle.

Mordecai, walking towards Kuro said, "Ohoh, letting your loved one leave while staying behind, it is a very romantical and the most strategical decision you've made this time. I respect you now. I think it's time to get serious now. Zech, follow that kid. And if he resists, don't be afraid to do a little damage to him. Okay?"

Zecharias looking annoyed said, "You don't have to tell me, I'll still go, also, I don't care if I hurt him. As long as he's alive right? Yeah right. Off I go."

Zecharias vanished from the sight, leaving Kuro shocked.

She said, "You.. you really don't have souls do you.."

Mordecai replied, "Of course we have, we're just like you. Obeying orders from the upper ones. Don't worry, little Shiro won't die. He's just going to get a little hurt by Zach."

Kuro looking pissed, shot a bullet at Mordecai and said, "You dare to touch even a single hair of Shiro-kun, I will kill you."

Mordecai replied, "Well, it's not me actually, say that to Zach."

Kuro answered, "I will. After I finish my job here."

Then those two looked at each other for a second, and then formed their battle positions.

Both of them leaped far away.

Kuro said, "Don't start to run."

Mordecai replied, "I won't."

Then both of them shouted with all of their hearts,

"Arcana! Zenaniel!"

"Arcana! Arugavadel!"

And then the whole forest was covered by the light emitted by them two.
