The Next Day

[WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP, I'M GOING TO K-KISS YOU]

"...Hmm."

Ethan slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the familiar alarm clock. It was a Tsunade alarm that didn't have a function to actually wake up its owner, but it still annoyed him to no end.

Rising from his bed, he suddenly remembered the events that happened yesterday and his arranged meeting with Rose.

"Almost feels like a dream."

Muttering so, he leaned on his bed and tried to get up. But all of a sudden he feel his hand sinking into the material of the bed. He heard the noise of wood breaking and look in the direction of his hand; He saw that his hand has gone through the mattress and broke the wood that supports his bed...

Sigh!

He sighed before he pulled his struck hand out and looked at at his mattress that had a hole in it. "I wonder what I'm going to do about this." He said with a tired look.

Although he was someone that had an abnormal amount of strength, he was fully capable of controlling it and limiting his strength. But after that incident yesterday, he found it difficult to control his strength.

He got up from his bed and walked towards his bathroom door. He slowly turned the Handle because he didn't want to pull the door, but something amazing happens...

Despite his efforts, he accidentally pulled out his bathroom door handle. "Great! Just my luck."

He walked into the bathroom and to turn on the water tap. As he expected, the tap broke when I tried to open it and the water started to spew out. "Damnit, F*ck my life!" He cursed.

He looked at the overflowing water and realized he couldn't leave it like this. He carefully turned off another valve that was located near the floor and soon the water stopped pouring.

Sigh!

He signed in relief and looked at himself in the mirror. "I thought by awakening my demon powers, my appearance would change but I guess not." He said with a hint of disappointment.

However, as he looked at himself in the mirror, he noticed a dragon-like symbol carved on his right shoulder. "What is that? Does It have to do with my demon powers?" Ethan looked at the dragon symbol with interest, but he was interrupted.

"Ethan's? What's happening? What was that noise? Is everything alright?" He suddenly heard his father's voice.

"D-Dad?"

"Can you open the door?"

"Shit! I have to come up with an excuse but what?" Ethan cracked his head about what to say and then he came up with the perfect excuse.

"I can't…I'm not wearing clothes right now", Ethan said with an uncomfortable voice.

"Oh?" Dante then started walking away from the door but how he could he know that. Well, that's because Ethan could hear his footsteps.

"Make sure you take out your trash; I don't want to clean your fluids, that's your girlfriend's job. If you have one of course." Dante said with a playful voice.

Dante's words was like an arrow that pierced Ethan's chest. He grow a little smile, "my dad has no mercy and spoke his mind, he's very honest."

Anyway, He looked at the clock and saw that it was morning. He needs to go to school, but he looked at his room and saw that mess he made... "I need to organize this mess"

Afternoon After School

Two students were walking on the busy streets of Los Angeles with a clear destination in mind. One of them was a handsome young man with jet-black hair, pale skin and icy-blue eyes. He was wearing the standard Faith Academy boys'uniform but his uniform differs in the fact that he wears a black T-shirt underneath his open dress shirt and blazer.

While the other was a beautiful young woman with long red hair that reached down her waist, a pair of hazel eyes, and smooth white skin. She was also wearing the Faith Academy girls' uniform.

Currently, school has ended and the sky had already been dyed in the hues of rich amber.

"So did you feel uncomfortable when coming to school this morning?" Rose asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Now that you have said so, I did feel little uncomfortable and weak when coming to school." Ethan answered nonchalantly.

"Of course that's to be expected, demons are creatures of the night so they won't be weak in the morning and strong in the night. That's why they attack humans in the night." Rose explained with in an low voice so only her and Ethan could hear.

"That's explains that but can you explain the demon race?" Ethan asked with his eyes filled with interest.

"Okay well, there are two types of demons: The pure-blooded and the hybrids. The pure-bloods are most common types of demon and usually the type being referred to whenever the word "demon" is mentioned. They vary greatly in shape, intelligence, and power. Hybrids on the other hand, are individuals born between a demon and a woman because of this, they innately exhibit enhanced physical prowess and unique abilities thanks to the demon blood within them." Rose explained as they continued walking.

"Unique abilities? What are the abilities of the demons apart from superior physical prowess?"

"The most common power of demon race is their ability to control darkness and their immortality."

"I can understand their darkness ability except the immortality? If they were truly immortal then that demon knight wouldn't have died." Ethan spoke, obviously not believing Rose's words.

"It's not like you think, demons can live forever except they are killed." Rose cleared up the misunderstanding and suddenly stopped walking.

"Huh?" Ethan wondered why she suddenly stopped walking and followed her line of sight. Apparently, she was staring at a big bear that was being sold in a children's store... Just out of curiosity, he looked at the price of the bear and his eyes widened, threatening to pop out.

"25 thousand dollars!! What the fuck!? Isn't that just a bear? How is it so expensive!?"

Rose suddenly ran and entered the store. Who could blame her? She was a simple girl with simple needs.

Seeing Rose buying the bear and hugging it, he can't help but say... damn! She's adorable.

Soon Rose comes back carrying a big bear and with a happy face, Ethan resisted the urge to pat her head. She soon realized that Ethan was there and turned her head away. It was obvious she was embarrassed.

"Come on, we're almost there" Rose said without looking at Ethan and continued walking.

***

"We're here!"

Rose said as they stopped infront of a large standalone building with an arched roof over the porch and double door. The most noticeable thing about it was the pink neon sign with "Snow Fall" written in cursive above the door.

"Apart the sign, it doesn't stand out that much."

Ethan thought as he followed Rose inside the building and went up the stairs, delving further into the building.

"The corridors looked clean and it seems even the rooms that aren't in use, didn't have a single dust speck in them." As Ethan was thinking that, it seems they have reached their destination. Rose stopped in front of a particular door.

Rose opened the door and Ethan was shocked as he followed her into the room.

There's weird signs and words in every area of the classroom. The floor, walls, and even the ceiling are all covered with them. And the one which stands out the most is the circle drawn at the center of the room. It looks like a magic circle that takes up most of the space in here. He could feel something creepy and weird about it.

There's also a couple of sofas in the room and there was something that caught his attention. There was sword hanging on the wide, round column behind the desk facing the door.

Ethan looked around and saw someone laying on one of the sofas. It was a beautiful young woman around 160 cm tall with short, ink-black hair, pale skin color and a pair of amethyst eyes that almost looks hollow.

She had a voluptuous body, moderate sized breasts, and pale skin, but the feature that draws the most attention is her ass and her legs, which were very thick. If Rose had the biggest breasts, then this woman had the biggest ass and leg that Ethan had ever seen. Her attire consists of a black leather jacket which she wore over a blue-coloured kimono which he considered wield since he had never seen anyone dress like that.

She realized they entered, and her gaze met Ethan's, examining him.

"Kaguya, this is Ethan Myles." Rose introduced me to her and Kaguya just nodded with a sleepy expression.

"Ah, nice to meet you." Ethan greeted. After exchanging greetings, Kaguya laid her head down.

"Hmm, she doesn't talk very much, huh? A quiet type!." Ethan concluded.

"You must be the one Rose talked about. Ethan Myles, Right?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, causing Ethan to face the source.

It was a man appearing to be in his late twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs, black goatee and a height of 188 cm. He was wearing a knee-length dark blue blazer with a lighter blue dress shirt, a black waist coat, and a red tie. For leg wear, he wore black pants and a pair of black shoes.

"Uh? When did he come in?"

"Yeah, that's me." Ethan replied

"That's great, nice to meet you. The name's John, the founder of the Snow Falls Organization." John introduced himself and extended a hand for a handshake.

"It's pleasure to make your acquaintance." Ethan said and shook Leo's hand.
