After the girls listened and accepted her, Rumi cried with them as they hugged her. I stayed until Rumi calmed down, and I stayed over and slept on the couch while the girls slept in their rooms. I thought about the five years with Mom and Dad, how wrong Selene was about the demons, and how they aren't worth protecting. I thought about Rumi... and her twin sister... I never told Rumi. I don't even think she knows about her. Hell, I don't even know if she and Mom got out alive. I loved my family, but what could a five-year-old do to protect the family from someone like Selene?
I wish I could see her again without letting Selene know. I know she struck down Dad, but I don't know if he went back to Gwi ma or if Gwi ma even spared Dad. I miss them so much... I can barely stand it thinking about this. I have been working my ass off trying to find out the truth about Mom and my other sisters' fate. Rumi wouldn't be able to handle having a sister possibly be killed by the very woman who "raised" her for twenty years.
I was awake all night. I couldn't stop thinking about what was happening to my family. What IS happening to my family. Soon enough, the sun came up. I winced when the sunlight hit my eye, then got up to make breakfast. Some savory pancakes and hearty stew. I just need to do something and just keep my mind busy. The others were still asleep. The pertions were enough for three servings each, including for Bobby.
My thoughts went back to my missing sister. I tbought about who she might be when she gre up. Maybe like Rumi? Maybe like me? I'll probably never get that answer, if she even got out that night. Damn, Rumi will have to know eventually. Maybe when i finally grow a pair snd believe it when someone says what happened wasn't my fault. Hell, might just be some wishful thinking. That's when I got a text, snapping me out of it. I looked at my phone. My friend Ru sent a text. A short free concert in the street, I was confused. I sent her a text to set up a booth for us. If what I think might be going on, I'll take the crowd. I left a note with breakfast on what was going on, then headed out.
Still wearing yesterday's clothes, I stayed out of sight of fans as they grouped up. I met up with Ru in town. She had her hair done in a braid over her shoulder, wearing blue and pink.
"Ru." I met up with her, hidden in the big empty booth.
"Akuma," she said quietly.
"What is it?"I spoke quietly.
"A group of five. They reek of demon magic." Ru said, looking around a corner at a group of five boys just finishing singing. I saw Rumi and the other two in the crowd.
"Play the voices in my head. Give this crowd a real show." I told her and got in place. Before the boys could leave, a big fan screamed at the top of her lungs when she saw me.
"Is that Akuma?!" The girl pointed up to me and the crowd went crazy.
"Eveningeveryone! Hows about a littlebit of a concert free of charge after the cancelation?" I called down in an ear piece Ru set up. Then I started singing for the crazed crowd. The crowd sang along with my song, I moved along the edge of a building and made my way down, the crowd moved with my song.
My patterns pulsed, spreading through the surface creating a dark purple look, making everyone jump excitedly. I noticed the music le head of the boy group and the one with a baby look were watching me, jaws dropped. I kept preforming. No big deal, honestly, if they weren't demon agents, I'd give them a chance at a date. But unfortunately, circumstances are circumstances.
I kept going, staying over head for the crowd to see me. They were more pumped about seeing me that that cheesy love song with soda the boys were doing. My marks felt vibrant, the mark from the honmoon is now a Holden scar that will never go away. I kept up the song and movement till the end. The crowd was screaming, going insane over my appearance.
"Thanks so much everyone!" I waved down to the crowd, they went ballistic with their screaming. "Now, Irecentlycanceleda show last minute. As all of you probably heard, there was an incidentwith the equipment and I got hurt. Well, recentlyIgot in contact with Huntr/x and we are doing a colab, me and my baby sister Rumi."
The crowd got right eager, practically vibrating.
"Now, I'll see all of you at the idol awards! See you later crazies!" I teleported off, the crowd screaming and many were jumping. I headed off to meet with Rumi, funny enough, then I ran into the saja boys muscle head and baby guy. I was taller than the muscle guy, and they both froze, and were trying to look me in the eye and not my body.
"Can Ihelp you?" I raised a brow and looked between them. The two of them finally snapped out of it and looked me in the eyes.
"Why did you jump out of no where and steal the spotlight?" The muscle guy asked, trying to be intimidating when he was the height of my chin, barely.
"Yah," the baby guy said. "And why did you not hide your marks?"
"Gwi ma never sent me." I blinked at them for a few seconds. "My preformance is to show support to my sister. "
I walked around them and left. They were stunned and were left there, and so flustered.
