Chapter 22

"So we have a deal don't we?" The demon asked
"Yes..." Matsuri said
"Great. I'll see you later...kid" The demon said and vanished. Matsuri gasped and realized she was in bed. She looked around and sighed deeply
"It was all a dream..." Matsuri said
'Seriously? It wasn't a dream at all'
Wait you're that voice inside my head?
'Yep'
Why am I in bed?
'You ended up passing out...'
Oh...okay
Suddenly the door opened and her grandmother walked in holding a cup of tea
"Oh you're awake. You feeling better?" Her grandmother asked
"U-um yeah. Thanks" Matsuri said. Her grandmother smiled and handed her the warm tea. Matsuri held it and trembled slightly remembering what happened
"Is something wrong?" Her grandmother asked in a worried tone
"Y-yeah I'm fine. J-just...uh...a bit cold I guess" Matsuri said
"You're not getting a cold are you?" Her grandmother asked
"No I don't think so..." Matsuri said
"Okay. Be sure to be inside the covers" Her grandmother said
"Yeah...sure" Matsuri said and took a sip of her tea. Her grandmother kissed her forehead and stood up from the bed and walked to the room
"Night. Sleep well" Her grandmother said before leaving her room
"Night..." Matsuri mumbled and took another sip of tea.
'Remember kid...tomorrow night you will kill'
I understand...

"Mei I don't get this at all" Yuzu whined and put her head down
"You should pay more attention in class. I can't always help you on your work" Mei said
"I know..." Yuzu said
"You could've finished your work instead of leaving" Mei said reading a book. Yuzu looked at Mei and thought about what she talked with Harumin in the arcade
"Hey Mei today at the arcade with Harumin...she uh...she told me something" Yuzu said
"What did she say?" Mei asked as she grabbed her tea and took a sip of it
"Well...Harumin says she likes Matsuri but her older sister also like her" Yuzu said which made Mei almost spit out her tea. She put her tea down and coughed softly
"W-wait? Did you just say that Mitsuko like Matsuri?" Mei asked
"That's what Harumin said" Yuzu said
"That's strange..." Mei said
"How is it strange?" Yuzu asked
"Mitsuko has never fallen in love with anyone. I couple of guys have been hitting on her a few times but she ends up giving them a glare and walks away. I never thought a kid like Matsuri was able to even make a woman like Mitsuko to fall for her. Hopefully she isn't planning anything strange now that she has Harumin crushing over her..." Mei said
"Love triangle huh? I think I'll have a talk with Matsuri about this...she could end up hurting them or worse" Yuzu said
"That kid enjoys having the attention. I guess that's why she gets into trouble just to bother others..." Mei said
"Well...Matsuri was never like that when she was little. She was always timid and shy around others but now...she's making friends which is good" Yuzu said
"Mostly messing around and playing with others..." Mei said
"Yeah...hopefully she isn't planning to do anything wrong like hurting them" Yuzu said
"She probably is..." Mei said
"Hm?" Yuzu asked
"They both like her. I bet she wanted them both to fall for her..." Mei said
"Yeah you could be right. I'll talk to her to be sure about it..." Yuzu said
"You said Taniguchi-san is in love with Matsuri right?" Mei asked
"Yeah and Matsuri asked Harumin's sister out" Yuzu said
"Oh right. That happened during lunch..." Mei said and groaned softly
"How was her sister's reaction?" Yuzu asked
"She seemed calm about it. We asked her about it and all she said was that she needed a talk with her" Mei said
"About what?" Yuzu asked
"She didn't say what it was about. She only said that and told us to shut up about it" Mei said
"Do you think their parents know about this love triangle situation?" Yuzu asked
"Of course not. They'll obviously keep it a secret from them..." Mei said
"Yeah...but I wish they could talk this out. Harumin told me her relationship with her sister and that she started avoiding her..." Yuzu said
"Let them handle that Yuzu. It's their problem not ours. You shouldn't be getting into their business" Mei said
"But I feel that it's wrong for them to be avoiding each other. They should fix that old bond they had..." Yuzu said
"Yuzu...I know you want to help but let them deal that situation on their own. Besides...you don't know them that well" Mei said
"I know Harumin very well because she's my bestest friend" Yuzu said
"Even if you guys are best friends...there could be a few things about her that she wouldn't want you to find out" Mei said
"Huh? Do you know something about her that I don't?" Yuzu asked
"W-well...not really. It's just...never mind. Just don't get into their business" Mei said as she stood up from the couch
"Wait Mei! What do you mean?" Yuzu asked
"It's nothing" Mei replied and walked to their bedroom. Yuzu looked at Mei and thought for a moment
What does she mean by that?
