"Goodbye Ruzik." was all the rabbit girl said in response to the Incubus's break up. He could go off and sleep with the whole school and she would forgive him, but if Kou kissed one boy the damn succubus threw a fit! He failed to keep promises, lied, cheated, and caused her unimaginable amounts of pain and Kou forgave him every time. Yet somehow in this whole situation she was the unfaithful one; he had no right to be mad. If anything she should have been the one breaking up with him! Perhaps it was a good thing Kou had been dragged away to the shrine all those years ago, otherwise Kou might have killed Ruzik by now.
She sighed as her hair returned to it's normal blue and drummed her fingers on the desk. This wasn't an unusual pattern for the two, breaking up after a string of extraordinary events. Unfortunately their relationship was not the healthiest and Kou seemed to like the idea of Ruzik more than the actual Ruzik. Things were going to be very awkward tonight when they had to retire to the same room. Perhaps she could take the bottom bunk and build a blanket fort? That's what any mature, 1000 something year old demon would do.
This led to thoughts about their new mage. Kou had gotten the message that Kasumi was being transferred and that she and Ruzik were going to get a new magic man (or woman). Who they were or what they looked like was beyond Kou and frankly she was excited. This would mean a new friend! Unless it was an overpowering person who had no interest in becoming acquainted and was simply attending the school to try and make themselves powerful. Kou had ended the lives of a few power hungry mages that had attempted to capture her. She had fed their hearts to-dammit why did all of her thoughts drift back to that redhead?
The demon rabbit clutched the sides of her head, it had been ten whole minutes and the fact that she knew they were no longer together was already making her crazy. She could really use a pint of the treat humans called ice cream and one of those magic screens to drown away her sorrows right about now. Don't look back at him. It's not worth it. The rabbit tapped her heel against the ground anxiously, smoothing down her hair and getting out of her chair to perch herself back up on the desk.
Kou was a rabbit, sitting still was not in her vocabulary.
"Oh you don't need to do that," Muse said quickly. "I don't think they meant anything mean, they were just playing around." Muse did not want to make enemies of the trio especially because.... Well she kind of liked Bugby. It was nice of him to try and help her during her anxiety attack and she did not want to lose the awkward friendship that was beginning to blossom. Muse's cheeks turned red at the thought and she quickly looked down so that Liliane could not see the blush that was forming.
"But to most other mages, demons are meant to serve.... So why?" Muse questioned as she trailed behind Lili into the classroom. Muse sat in an empty seat beside the mage and watched with amusement as the scene before her unfolded. She felt kind of bad for the redhead, although she did not know the whole story; otherwise Muse might have cheered on the rabbit. Muse turned to Lili to say something and winced, the beginnings of a headache starting up in her skull. Gently Muse pressed her fingers against her temples and attempted to rub it away, but the pain persisted and spots began to dance at the edges of her vision. Quickly Muse turned away from the mage as she did not want Liliane to worry for her well being and placed her head on the desk, acting as though she were bored or tired.
This was no ordinary headache and with the pain came a memory. Had something Muse said trigger it? Or perhaps maybe Lili had? Muse closed her eyes, hoping that this would be an important clue to her past.
"Get up you stupid demon, you're of no use to me dead." The boy who spoke was young with brown hair and striking hazel eyes that today were the color of small gold supernovas. He ran a hand through his hair as he commanded the being on the ground to rise. "Master I believe it is dead," the mage's companion spoke, kicking the corpse over with a booted foot to reveal the gaping hole in the demon's abdomen that was still leaking rancid fluid.
"Dammit Muse I told you to rough him up not kill him!" His hand came down hard, striking the servant's face. A large red welt began to blossom on her cheek but the mage wasn't finished, for good measure he kicked the demon in the stomach and as she went down, kneed her in the face. She could not touch him as their contract stated and so Muse took the pain quietly, standing at her master's command. "Come on, now we've got to find another one."
Muse lifted her head off of the desk, both the headache and memory gone. There had been no important tidbits, except now the demon knew that she had once served a mage with odd colored eyes. She was even more frustrated then before, if possible as the memory seemed to be irrelevant aside from the fact it told her where she had gotten so many of her scars from.
