Chapter Text

Alice could be many things ; a noble, obsessed for Iruma, a stalker, but one thing that he wasn’t , was blind. He notice the scars that Iruma hide.

He wanted to talk with Iruma about it! But… something always just happen to interrupt him.

But today Alice made a promise to himself that today he would talk about it today with Iruma about it.
-------------------------------------------------
Alice, Clara and Iruma were walking down a corridor. Clara was hanging over Iruma’s body while Alice was scolding her, a scolding that she wasn’t listening.

Clara Pov:
....
....
....
'Iruma-chi has a bumpy body.'.

"...demons evolved to have wings because of the hostile environment of the demon realm." Professor Balam was giving his class like he normally did.

For talking about wings it gave him the desire to feel them. Hunf... to emphasize  the part in question.

While he was talking he was approaching of a black haired fledgling." The wings of the demons are considered their pride and jo...y...".

Empty, no thought passed through Balam’s head. Nothing only the face of panic in the fledgling, and the sensation of something...missing...

.
.
.
' the teachers classroom? Looking over his shoulder ' Ah! The fledgling! I have to do something.' with the panic raising at every instant. Balam kicked open the door of the teachers room.

"Balam-sensei whats the mot--" When the professor Dali was going to demand the reason of the gargoyle professor kicking open the teachers room ." This fledgling don’t have wings!"

The tension was palpable. Iruma was desperate. 'I don’t want to die! They are going to discover. Don’t want don’t want don’t want' Was repeated again and again in his mind.

"This is a grave accusation. Do you understand this, right Balam?" Buer spoke looking directly at the demon gargoyle eyes.

Robin laughed nervously." Calm down, he must had only stored in his bac—"" I did not feel even the roots." .

You could hear the pin drop." Iruma show us your back." Robin spoke, now without his usual happiness and energy that he usually had.

Iruma was struggling with a panicked face and denying anything. This only made to make the teachers more 'angry'. Balam held Iruma by the neck, Robin took the T-shirt and the uniform jacket and pulled them up.

'It look like this is my end... I knew that it would happen a day or another.

The face of Sullivam, Opera appeared in Iruma’s head.

'So...So why, why?'

Clara and Alice.

'Why does something is hurting in my chest?'

The abnormal class and the student committee

'why does death looks so much worse now then was before my parents sold me?'

Kirio and his parents

'No… I will not let the despair consume me!'

Balam’s grip suddenly weakened.' My chance!' Iruma bolted running to the doors direction. "-sob-" A light sob could be heard from behind him. But he didn’t care about it. He didn’t cared about it now. Now his mind was only thinking in survive.

"Bak!!" "Tchuak!" Iruma bolted out of the teachers lounge desperately.' Where I go? Where I go?' He shouted internally.

'grandpa’s office?' He shook his head. 'Too obvious, they would get me in the way there.' Iruma thought while running.

'Where should I go, where should I go where I-' turning a sharp turn to the left he hit someone with a familiar face.

"Hum... I am sorr- Ameri!" the recognition came as suddenly as the fall. Hitting his head on the ground and knelling he spoke " Ameri-san please! I need your help!"

Ameri’s face became red and spoke " W-w-what?" Iruma looked behind clicked his tongue and pushed Ameri inside of an empty classroom while he himself jumped together.

Ameri:

"Badumpt" her face was hot and her heart was beating fast. She was in (romantic) panic ' Ah! This situation is exactly equal to Rem and Rin on volume 8 of the forbidden texts. but... what do we do now? We didn’t had the story telling secession after that incident! This should be the next chapter!"

I look at Iruma, he looks distracted eyeing the door to avoid looking at her,'It is just like that scene!'. Her face was getting hotter by the second. 'Will it be that-' She remember of the scene of Rem and Rin Kissing. 'No! No! No! I am not ready yet!'.

----------------------------------------------------------
meanwhile Ameri was in her panic.
----------------------------------------------------------

Iruma:

'There were some people coming. They were probably the teachers looking for me.'

Iruma was eyeing the door to know if  he would die today he had been caught by the teachers.

----------------------------------------------------------
What really was the people getting close.
----------------------------------------------------------

"Zom! Where are you? Please do not explode anything!" A light brown haired demon and suspender screamed in the corridors while running.

----------------------------------------------------------
Returning!
----------------------------------------------------------

The people passed, he gave a sight that he didn’t knew he was holding.

Looking at Ameri, he whispered . "*I am sorry Ameri-san I am in a bit of a ... complicated situation " Iruma heavily sight.

" Ameri-san please, I know that it can be from nowhere but; please help me."

"Ok."

"Eh!" "What? You don’t want it?" "No; that not it. Thank you very much Ameri." Iruma said looking meekly downward with a ting of red creeping up to his face.

"As you are helping me I think is a good idea to give a little of context of my situation."

"So... I was in the teacher Balam’s classroom when he notice something… something that I would like to not show to anybody for now. He took me to the teachers louge and… exposed it to everyone; I… I just want to return to grandpa." Iruma finished speaking with a slightly tearful eye.

He was nervous talkinig the truth without telling explicitly that he didn’t have wings, or that he was a human

even if he suspects that she already knew.(she already knows since their first encounter between them. But she never acknowledges him in any other way besides as a demon, like always talking to him to act like a demon and such. And he never tells he explicit that he is a human and she never commented after their first encounter. [and I too think he would be too dense to understand that she knows ;)] ).

'This have something to do with him being a human?' Ameri thought until she remembered . 'Oh! Humans are said to be wingless!… The teachers know."

"We need to get you out of here Iruma."

Iruma looked at Ameri with eyes that started to become tearfully.

Iruma was in front of a child with the backs up and blood flowing, cuts and bites marks all over his body. She called for help, between sobs and tears she pleaded for his parents that it started to lose their faces in time to anyone; but it went unanswered.

Some one put its hand over the door knob of the class. Iruma and Ameri were in silent panic. Iruma was looking from left to right trying to find an exit.

Iruma’s eyes landed on a window, he ran and opened it on the same time the door opened behind him.

Iruma looked back a last time, he saw Ameri distracting the teachers. One of them was a black haired demon with a plain looking face, the other one had a magenta spike like hair.

'Thank you Ameri-san. I won’t waste this chance.'

Iruma walked to the child, kneeling and helping him up. She turned into smoke; but they looked happy, smiling.

Iruma started running toward his friends and family that he made in the Underworld. His parents weren’t there and his smile never was so bright like the smile that he made while jumping from the class to the tree near the one. The Sun dyed the horizon with orenge more livelly than never before.

Some screams could be heard beeheind him but they were too far for Iruma to distinguish them.

"My Derkila~ Iru-boy." A little black mordome looking like man with 1 eye spoke in a dragged way.

"Ali-san!" Iruma was happy to see his secret companion. " I need your help to flee! Do you know any magic that could help here?"

Alikred nodded his head. " I have one that will give you Wings~." He said, his only eye arching.

"Apterous." In a serious form he spoke.

"Think how you will flee, and be fast." Alikred pointed to a hand reaching for a branch.

Iruma gulped, took a step back, and started running while sceaming.

"A"

thinking on the reason of not having freedom.

"Pte"

The thing that if he had this situation would never happened.

"Rous!"

A pair of wings as dark as the night. With a flap of them he was lunched up high in an exorbitant velocity.

"The school." Iruma talked with a hanging mout and awe, admiration dripited in every syllable. An enormous structure with ‘Towers, one of them had a sakura tree stiking out of it, the gothical architecture, the Sun painted every thing that it touched in a honey like orange the paint that we call word, the panes...panes?'

He was so distracted by the incredible landscape that he forgot that he was flying and so he ended up crashing on to a tower’s window more specifically the tower that Kirio used as base

“Ahii~~” As Iruma hit his head was the last thing that he said before passing out.

----------------------------------------------------------

"We found Iruma, warn the others." A hand with claws dyed black getting closer from Iruma’s head.

----------------------------------------------------------

later


Iruma waked up in a magenta room with purple curtains an many beds. He still was groggy from waking up .

The sharp pain came instantly. A throbbing head pain.

Iruma lift himself up slowly with a hand in his head.' Oh, the Infirmary ?'. Iruma was confused.'why did they not ate me yet?' He was alone again.

His toughts were interrupted by the sound of steps near the door.

Iruma entered in his fight/flight instincts. And as always he chose to run. The windows were locked and the room didn’t had another dor .

He chose to hide under the bed, he put his hand over his mouth, his face was wet.' Am I… am I crying?' Iruma asked himself. But he knew that it didn’t mattered now never mattered.

A pair of legs strolled in to the room, it walked over to Iruma’s bed, he was trembling 'Pleaseno!Pleaseno!Pleaseno!'

Was repeated again and again in his head.

The legs stopped in front of his hide spot; Iruma’s heart was beating fast. A face appeared, a face that he was accustomed to see with it’s eternal frown; his teachers Kalego; but… his face was… different… sad?… angry?… I don’t understand.'hum? Something feels different I am still crying… but for what am I crying now pain? Sadness?'

Kalego helped Iruma up from under the bed, and so Iruma cried. Without knowing the reason, for not being alone anymore and not being dead for being alive.
