The Demons Memory The day of starting school arrives in a happy, sunny way. The birds singing with the sound of wind chimes coming from downstairs as mother comes in from going shopping. Once Byakuji wakes from a deep sleep, he hears a few pots clashing from downstairs knowing that mother isn't in the best of moods. He sighs and sweeps his legs out of bed then stretches his arms and back yawning hearing a few bones click relaxingly in his back "Oh gosh, just another day at school. Just an excuse to get bullied with teachers doing nothing" he sighs and stands out of bed. Yui walks to the bathroom tiredly yawning and stands at the door knocking "I'm coming in" She says before entering. The narrow bathroom is very familiar to her as she dawdles to the toilet and drops herself onto the toilet seat closing the bathroom door. Byakuji walks out of his room hearing more clashing of pots downstairs and sighs once again "What's her problem?" He moans and walks to the bathroom rubbing his eyes. "Anyone in?" He asks knocking on the door. "GET OUT!" His older sister yells as she flushes the toilet and washes her hands with anti-bacterial soap. "Sis I need to use the shower. Please come out of there". She sighs and dries her hands walking out the bathroom in her top and underwear "Sorry bro it's your first day isn't it?" He smiles standing in his pyjamas "yes and I really need to go or I'll miss what teachers I have and all the book signing as normal". She smiles at him happily and pecks his cheek "don't worry, I know you'll be just fine". Byakuji stands still blushing from the kiss that marks his cheek. "She does love me?" He wonders whilst walking into the bathroom and starting the shower forgetting the clothes and towels. The bathroom door closes by itself slowly then slams at the little gap. Byakuji's eyes dashes to the door and sees no one standing there but feels an empty, cold shiver that rattles his spine. "Oh gosh it's freezing!" He complains and turns the shower on high with the water scorching hot. "What the?" He turns it higher not feeling any different until the shower is on maximum heat still feeling cold as a frozen lake. "What is this?" He asks not knowing that there is something behind him. Something so cold, so inhumanly terrifying that no one would ever imagine to be real. He gets colder by the second and steps out of the shower feeling only the pain of the evil that lays behind him. From the screeching of a very high pitched note, mother and Yui both go deaf in both ears as a shock wave blasts through everything in the house smashing glass, floors crashing and the shower falling from beneath the floor. Everything around Byakuji just crumbles and breaks apart as something behind him grabs his pyjama shirt and throws him off the floor that he was standing on seeing that piece crumble right before his eyes. The person next to him that holds his shirt then throws Byakuji of what he thinks is a building where he is sent falling from tall glass windows and nothing but the blue sky, gray building and misted falling floor that lasted forever. "Am I falling?" He asks whilst the air hits the back of him pushing up but not lifting as he falls "am I going to die?" He also asks as the person that threw him appears so close and moves with him showing her real beautiful face that calms Byakuji in a caring way "where am I?" He asks as he stops moving in mid air by the girl holding him. "Your asleep Byakuji, your sleeping" she smiles whilst holding him still by the collar of his shirt. "How am I sleeping? I thought I was in the shower?" He acts calmly not knowing what else to do but ask questions. The demon looked at him like he was something new and strange but knew exactly who and what he was just by the smell and look of him. "You... Byakuji... Fly with me" she asks and jumps off the building into the misted place. Byakuji stood very confused on what's going on but kicks off the building and glide with her. He heard from the bathroom door "brother? Are you in there?" Mother asks and walks In after knocking. No one seems to be in the bathroom by Byakuji still sees his mother standing in front of him where the toilet is. He tries to shout out to her "IM DOWN HERE" he screams from the floor next to the bath. Mother sees no one and walks out the bathroom and knocks on Yui's bedroom door "Honey! Where's Byakuji gone?" She questions not seeing he's on the bathroom floor. He stands and walks behind her fully clothed and tries tapping her shoulder "hey I'm here" he says not knowing that she can't see him. Yui doesn't answer making mother curious as she opens her bedroom door. The window near her bed is wide open with the rush of the wind pushing the net curtains out the window. "I can't believe that she would do this again" mother complains and walks downstairs after closing the bedroom door. Byakuji is stood at Yui's door feeling heartless of what to do or say when mother just completely ignored his presence. After a few minutes pass, byakuji walks to the bedroom and gets clothed into his school uniform and walks downstairs to see the front door close with a note being held down by money. He then walks to the note and starts to read it "Son I'll see you tonight sometime. I'm going out to your aunts. Love mom xx". Byakuji smiles at the note and take the money that mother left for his dinner then skips out the front door in a joyful mood locking it behind him. Once he turns round from locking the door, he sees Yui at the end of the street walking alone to school. Byakuji tries to catch up by running to her and attempts to scare her from behind by jumping on her back but she feels nothing and continues walking like normal until they both get to the school doors. Byakuji then jumps off her back and slaps her back "see you after school sis" he smiles and walks to class.
