My friend is a 'Demon?'

That girl who fell from the sky

At this time in the human world,

''' Issac, who gave you the idea of going to the mountains in this hot weather? and on top of that summer? '' Leo complains while climbing onto the stairs of the mountain slope. '' Leo we had to come because of the class project after all. Did you forget? ''' .

''' I haven't forgotten. But it's so hot. And I can't ...... go on any longer '' he stops walking eventually. ''' Would you boys stop complaining already? ''' Shelly growls. ''' We girl's aren't complaining at all. And look at the condition of you boys. Have you got no shame? '' Violet retorts.

''' No point in blaming him. Leo only has a good temper nothing else ''' Zen asserts. ''' HUh what are you saying? tell this in my face. Wanna go at it? '' Leo shouts grabbing the collar off him.

''' Would you stop it already? why do you guys like to fight all the time? ''' Shelly shouts. ''' He's the one at fault here ''' Zen points at Leo. ''' What did you say? you were the one who was blaming me '' Zen snarls.

'' Issac says something to them please '' Violet pleads. ''' Huh, where is he? ''. ''' What happened? '' Issac comes out of nowhere and surprises them. ''' Where did you went to out of nowhere? '' Shelly sulks.

''' I went to check out the nearby places. What's all the commotion about? '' he asks. ''' The thing is we all are feeling very much hot. And wanna take some rest ''' Shelly asserts. ''' How can you get tired by walking this little only ''' Issac comments.

''' Cause it's hot and we can't stand this heat anymore ''' Violet bursts out in anger. ''' But what about the insects for the class project? don't we have to collect them? ''. '''' Then we should have come in the evening ''' Leo remarks.

''' Fool then how would we see the insects? ''' Zen comments. '' We are just a little far away from the top of the mountain. Let's do it '' Issac encourages them all. ''' Alright then ''Shelly affirms. ''' Five clovers let's go ''.

''' Yay '' they all shout in unison.

Now they were all walking silently. Shelly was walking by the side of Issac. Peeking glances from the corner of her cap. Violet noticed this and was grinning by herself. ''' Hey why are you smiling to yourself?''' Leo asks her who was walking by his side.

''' It's nothing. You are not old enough to know this ''' she replies covering her mouth. ''' What? I am not a kid '' he pouts. ''' She's right. You are not old enough to understand this ''' Zen smirks.

''' And who are you to tell me that ''' Leo shouts. ''' Cause I am older than you ''' he replies. ''' Why you?.... ''' Zen sighs and stops talking. Eventually, they reach the top of the stairs.

''' But we need to give thanks to the owner who made the stairs to reach the mountain ''' comments, Shelly. ''' This was made by a Japanese man Kazuhito Ishiguro who came here for travelling and seeing the mountains decided to make the stairs ''' Issac replies.

'' That's our leader always remembers everything ''' remarks Leo. ''' Was this temple created long ago? ''' Shelly points at the shrine in front of them. '' Yes round the same after the stairs were made. He made this as an offering to the mountain gods. They believe that gods reside in everything. So made this temple in the name of the mountain gods ''' Issac explains.

''' Peculiar Japanese ''' Violet remarks after hearing all of that. ''' Did no one stopped him for doing that out of nowhere? '' asks Leo. ''' No, when the mayor I mean the previous mayor was alive not the current one. He gave his permission to the man Kazuhito to make a temple on the mountain top ''' Issac describes.

''' Wow '' remarks Zen being surprised. ''' Guys why are we talking about the owner of the stairs and everything rather than doing the thing what we came here for ? ''' Shelly remarks. ''' I was lost in explaining sorry '' Issac apologizes.

''' Let's look around the forest nearby the temple. Maybe we can find something ''' ''' Yeah I agree '' says Leo. ''' I need to make something clear ''' Violet states. ''' What's wrong? '' asks Zen. ''' We are here to collect bugs for a class project on insect's growth and life. So we will catch bugs '' she says.

'' Yeah that's the point ''' Leo affirms. ''' So I want to say that I won't touch any insects by hand. You got that ?'' Violet declares. 'A playful smile shows on the face of Leo. ''' Vi-o-let could it be .... that you are afraid of bugs? ''' he smirks.

''' No- I mean yes no... I just hate insects that's all. That crawling and squirming slippery looking insects. I just hate those '' she asserts in a resentful look. ''' Violet hates bugs. She hates bugs. What if I have a bug on my hand and I will throw it at you? I would like to see your expression '' Leo smiles.

''' What? Issac says something to him or else I will. So something very much painful to him ''' Violet says. ''' Anyway, stop your fight. Look around for quality insects first '' Issac asserts.

''' All right '' they all say in unison. ''' I will look along with you'' Shelly says to Issac. ''' I will look along with Zen. He's a good boy aren't you Zen? '' Violet grabs his shirt in support. ''' I am much better than someone like Leo at least '' he remarks.

''' Why you two-- Anyway after I find insects I will take my revenge '' so instead of getting angry on them he remained cool and calm. ''' He seems weird. He's not triggered by the comment I made '' Zen asserts.

''' Dunno '' Violet replies. ''' ANyway begin searching then. Shelly come with me then ''' Issac says. Shelly nods. They look around the nearby area in search of insects. Leo was all on his own. He was looking around the tree shades. ''' I will teach that Violet a good lesson. Insulting me as a kid. She will be so much terrified. I can't wait '' he was muttering to himself.

Violet and Zen were looking around the tree bushes. ''' I can understand why you wanted to go with me ''' Zen remarks while searching. Violet was beside him. ''' What do you mean? ''. '' I mean even though you and Shelly are too good friends. You still let her go with Issac. What could be the reason behind this? and on top of that, you did not stop her also. I find this quite strange ''' he remarks.

'' Huh, what's weird about it? there's nothing weird in that. She wanted to go with him. How can I stop her? '' she asserts adverting her gaze away from him. ''' Violet, we all know very well that you can't tell a lie. And when you tell it becomes obvious for everyone to find out '' he asserts with a sigh.

'' I am not lying. Not lying you got that ? '' she looks away from him. ''' This is advice from me as your friend. You should stay true to your feelings. If you don't say them then out loud no one will be able to hear them. No one. And when you lose the chance it may never come again ''' he remarks with a plain look.

''' No matter how many times you want to say it. You won't be able to say it again. Cause the opportunity will be forever gone. So you should confess what you are feeling now. Otherwise, you may lose the chance and may never be able to say it out loud again ''.

''' I know that. And I am doing this for the good of some people very close to us. So I don't mind even if I can't say my feelings after all. I want that person and the person they want to be with to be happy. That's all. So it's never wrong to tell a good lie '' she replies with a smile.

'''' For god's sake. When did you become so mature? aren't you only 14? why do you sound like an old woman? '' he teases her with a gentle expression. ''' If I am an old woman then you are an old man too. After all, we are in the same position, aren't we? ''' she takes up a stone and throws it at him.

''' You are right. But I am also telling a good to lie for the sake of my dear and precious persons and even lying to myself. Still, I don't care as long as the person is happy ''' he asserts throwing it at her.

''' Hey, that hurts ''' she complains. ''' You deserve that lier '''' he laughs. AT this time Leo was passing by there. He had heard all of their talks. After hearing all of that he backed away in the opposite direction.

''' What is this lie they are talking about? what secrets are they keeping? am I the only one kept in the dark? but why? they all have become strange after growing up. Before it was better. We all laughed and played but now things aren't the same. We are growing up ''.

''' The distance between us is growing a lot more than before. I wish that the bond between us doesn't get broken. After all, I am also lying to my feelings. And just like Zen said. If you don't say it out loud no one will hear it. That must be the reason why she couldn't hear my feelings ''.

''' I just wish everything goes back to normal. I don't want the time I get to spend with them to vanish away in the blink of an eye. After all, there is no one waiting for me at home. And that brother of mine I just. Hate him ''.

''' I don't want that lonely feeling to get back to me again. I want to stay with them all. So I will do whatever it takes for me to be able to stay between them '''. While walking he arrived at the front of the temple.

''' Hey mountain god. If you are here I want you to grant my wish. That our friendship doesn't get broken forever. Please do something that our group doesn't get separated. I pray to you please ''' He prays to put his hands together.

''' At that time Shelly and Issac both were looking for insects and they have found some rare ones. ''' This cicada will take a lot of time to grow. What will we do with it ? '' he asks taking it in his hands. '' We have the summer vacation from tomorrow. Today is the last day of April. We have a lot of time on our hands '' she says.

'' You are right. I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me '' he asserts putting it back onto the box. '' What did you catch here? '' he asks.''' I have some butterflies ''. ''' Let me see '' he says. He takes the box from her.

''' Hey, these are some rare butterflies. Where did you catch them from? '' asks him with a surprised face. ''' I got them from behind the temple. What's unusual about them?'' she asks. '' Don't you know? that this kind of species comes once in a year in spring and goes back to their country after that ? '' asks he.

'

''' And you can even sell them. They might cost around $10-15,000 in our currency ''' he describes. ''' What really? '' she asks. '''' I thought they existed in only fairy tales because they had gone extinct centuries ago. How is this possible ? '' he asserts.

''' I don't know I only found them ''. '''' I am glad we came here '''' he remarks. ''' This will be a huge discovery from our side. And we may get featured in the school newspapers also ''. ''' What really? that sounds great ''.

''' Let's show this to others then '' she says. '' Yeah but let's look around the temple. Maybe we can find something else like a golden beetle too ''' he assumes ''' Let's go check it out then. What are we waiting for ? '' he says.

They all head towards the temple. Leo was standing there. He took out the five clovers in his hand and prayed '' May our friendship last forever no matter what happens ''.

It was at that time Elena and her demon fairy was travelling through the dimensional portal. They were near the entrance. All of a sudden she appeared in mid-air. Along with her demon friend.

'''' What is this happening? are we in the human world ? '' she shouted. She was falling at a rapid speed. '' No.... what is happening? '' she yelled. In a while, she fell straight into the shrine top. Breaking into the ceiling.

She fell a thud sound. At this time Leo and Issac saw her falling from the sky. 'Issac ran towards her without a single thought. Shelly called him from behind '' where are you going? stop there ''.

'''' Where is he going at a full speed? '' she thought. ''' Maybe I should head after him too''. '''What was that thing that fell from the sky? a girl? '''' Leo thought while standing still in front of the shrine.

''I think I should go after it '' he thought. While running Issac thought'' I think I saw a girl falling from the sky. How can a girl fall from the sky? I need to save her ''. Elena fell into the shrine room. On top of the statue of the god.

''' It hurts '' she complains. The demon fairy was unconscious by her side. Then Issac arrived along with Leo. Violet and Zen also arrived there after hearing the fall. Issac runs straight inside the shrine.

Then he didn't notice that the shrine was in half a broken state inside. Inside the broken ceiling of the, he the shrine even statue of the god all broken. And something was lying there. '' Who's there? could it be the girl? '' he whispered.

He approached her. Then all the other people arrive there one by one. He approaches her at a steady speed. Then puts the box of the insects down there onto the shrine ground. '' Are you? alright---?'' he asks.

Elena was there all unconscious. He was amazed by the girl who was lying unconscious. '' Should I touch her? but she's unconscious ... '' he hesitates. He slowly touches her. He was amazed by the girl who had a fire like red hair and big eyelashes.

''' She's so pretty. What are those things on her head? and what are those strange clothes? ''' . Then the demon fairy was conscious now. It was trying hard to fly. Making angry noises.

''' How did she fell from the sky? ''. By that time everyone had arrived there.
