Chapter Text
Emu unlocks her door and walks into her room. All of a sudden there's a bright pink pentagram on the floor and with a pink beam and a flash of light there's a pink haired girl in front of Emu
Her light pink hair reached a bit under her waist and her eyes were blue with a hint of a pale pink. She wore a black and gold outfit—a cropped shirt without any sleeves and a long skirt. She had a pink tattoo on her arm aswell.
"You're late." she complains "I nearly withered from waiting—I'm on my third cup of tea already."
"Take a seat there. We need to talk" she continued
"Where did you come from- wait" Emu exclaims "Another girl! Whew I was feeling awkward especially cause Nene doesn't seem to like any of us! I'm Emu Ootori! Nice to meet you!"
"This isn't the time for cheery remarks you." The girl says darkly, "Please return the contract already. I'm not made of time yknow."
"Contract?" Emu asks
"Yes contract" she responds, nodding "you see I have a pact with you. Unless that pact is terminated I can't return home."
"Pact? I don't remember making a pact at all" Emu frowns and tilts her head to the side
"Well naturally" she sighs
The woman reaches into her pocket and brings out a drawing. On the down right of the drawing is her face and on the left is Emus face. In between the 2 figures there was a thick black line, in the middle of the line the word "Pact" was written in white. Above the 2 there was another figure which was showed as a shadow with the letters "Third party" next to it. A red arrow which started at the shadow was pointing to the black line.
"A third party..?" Emu asks
"However you are my partner in the pact" The other says
"So someone used my name to sign a contract?" Emu asked
"Not exactly but that's close enough. Now I must ask you to return the contract." She says
"Wait wait but who is this third party?" Emu asks "And you're asking me to return a contract but I don't even know where it is.."
"So can you ask the other person about it? " Emu asks
"They're dead." The woman says casually
"Huh?!" Emu shouts
"That's why I'm asking you." she says
"Say again?" Emu asks, stunned
"My name is Luka" Luka finally introduced herself "The contract is somewhere in this mansion so try your best to find it."
"Just a question but what kind of pact is this?" Emu asks
"Oh you wanna know?" Luka says darkly
"I mean shouldn't I-" Emu starts but before she can finish she hears a knock at the door "Come in! She shouts. The door opens and Nene steps in
"Pardon me" she says politely
"Nene!" Emu shouts
"I forgot something in here. Allow me to retreat it" She says walking up to the book shelf and bringing out a blue diary
"Wait Nene!" Emu shouts
"What?" Nene asks glaring at Emu
"Er it seems there was another girl here besides me" Emu says and pointed her finger at the other girl "see her names Luka"
"..." Luka giggles happily
"What are you talking about?" Nene asks Emu raising her eyebrow "it's just you and me here. Is it not?"
She turns to fully face Emu "I have no desire to take part in your childish games"
"Eh.." Emu says looking down back at Luka who was now happily sipping tea
"Oh by the way Emu just looking at your outfit makes me shiver. It's not summer yknow." Nene says looking at Emu outfit "There are some clothes in the dresser, you can wear those."
"The dresser? Emu makes her way over to the dresser and opens it. In the dresser there's a gorgeous long, pink dress," Wow! What a beautiful dress! "Emu exclaims with stars in her eyes,"Are you sure?"
Nene shrugs,"I'd much rather lend you that then continue to feel cold by just looking at you"
"Well then I'll be leaving now. She says leaving Emus room
" Hey, so Luka.. What was that about? " Emu asks
" Ah Emu.. You see I'm not human" Luka says smiling
"Huh!?"
"Thats why no humans other then you can see me" Luka said smirking
"That's crazy.." (but the way Nene reacted, she really didn't seem to notice Luka at all.. Plus I saw her appear out of thin air)
"Emu, The pact between you and I.. Is a demonic pact" Luka says
"Demonic pact?.."
"Hehe ill say it again clearly." she says "I am Luka. The demon whom you have a pact with. What that means is that you can use the power of the demon. So you may use it as you like! Oh course you will pay the price.
"And the price is? " Emu, asks
"A body part of course." Luka says
"No! I won't use it!" Emu says
Luka giggles "Oh my are you scared?"
"No, theres just no need for me to use a power like that.."
"Then please return the contract" Luka smiles
"Sounds like it'll be me looking" Emu says
"Of course. Here's to our partnership Emu." Luka says "I'll be observing you soon. Go find that contract for me." Luka walks up to Emu and disappears
Emu opens her dresser and takes the pink dress out "Hehehe Dress! Dress! It's so cute!"
"Why not try it on for a little?" Luka suggests
"You're right!"
Emu tries it on. "Wow it really is fantastic!"
"Hehe it makes me feel like nobility! I guess starting tomorrow I get to live a life full of elegance for a while" Emu shouts
Emu puts the dress back and lays in bed "Goodnight Luka!"

The things in those books in Nenes room.. Is that all true?" Tsukasa talks to himself, standing in front of a bookshelf "All those things about demons.."

Akito stands near his bed. He bites his lip and walks up to the wall.

"... Lady Dorothy" Nene says sitting in the middle of a messy room with books all over the floor, "I forgave the strangers for their intrusion.. I am... Truely sorry."

Rui stands in front of a window "I've never forgotten for a second what happened 12 years ago" he smiles softly before the smile drops completely "I suppose it'll start again. In this very place.."
