Hira and Mira arrived at the Huston mansion. The house had an eerie feel to it; Hiraku could sense something was wrong, though without the Third Eye, he couldn't be certain that it was a demon.
"Well, this is it," Mira said as she dismounted from the bicycle.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?"
"I'm not stupid enough to forget where I'm supposed to babysit. Let's go," she said, grabbing Hiraku by the arm. His bicycle fell to the ground, landing amidst withered flowers, as she opened the small gate and hurried to the door.
Mira withdrew her hold on Hiraku's arm and rang the bell. The door creaked slightly as it opened. A little girl wearing a red dress stood in the doorway, smiling.
"Hello, Mira," she said, grinning widely, her teeth showing.
"Hello, cutie pie. I guess your parents are off working late," Mira said as she bent over and patted the girl's head.
"Yes, Mira. I suppose you're here to watch over me. I've been expecting your visit. Hello, stranger. My name is Emiko," the girl said, extending her hand.
Hiraku accepted the handshake warmly.
"Please, come in," she said.
They walked through the doorway and into the mansion, which was quite spacious. Above them hung a huge chandelier, its lights illuminating the house. Emiko led them to the couch and gestured for them to sit. She stood nearby, smiling.
"So, what would you like?" Hiraku and Mira were about to speak when she interrupted them.
"What about music? Brahms." She raised her hands slightly above her head and clapped them together. Suddenly, a faint sound was heard, and then music began playing.
Hiraku and Mira sat, looking surprised and somewhat shocked.
"Didn't you say no one was home, cutie pie?" Mira asked, whipping around in curiosity.
"No one is home, Mira. Just the three of us. Now, now, quit talking and dance," the little girl said, snapping her fingers.
Hiraku and Mira jolted to their feet, holding each other's hands in a dancing position.
"One, two, three, and..." Emiko said, twirling her hands in the air.
Hiraku and Mira felt an invisible force creeping into their skin. Mira's jeans and top transformed into a gown that revealed much of her legs, and Hiraku found himself suddenly dressed in a dashing suit. Mira pressed her cleavage against Hiraku's chest as they danced in a rhythmic pattern.
Hiraku recognized it as an illusion spell that caused their transformation, but he couldn't comprehend the extent of Emiko's power—a power strong enough to suppress human will and force them to do her bidding. He forcefully shut his eyes as they kept dancing around,and chanted a spell in his thought.Miras lip couldn't utter a word she tried to speak but a power beyond her controlled her entire movement and action.
"Now feel the touch of her skin," Emiko said as she stood a few feet a away,gawking at the show. Hiraku drew Mira into his arms. She felt his tongue slowly glide up her neck. The feeling of euphoria suddenly grew in her. She couldn't understand what she was feeling,for some unearthly reason she wanted him to take his flirtation further. He held her left leg and slowly lifted it up to his waist. His lips moved slowly toward her as they both closed their eyes.
"Interrumpere," Hiraku whispered under his breath. In a split second, a golden-like aura shimmered between them, repelling them both as they flew in opposite directions.
Mira was sprawled on the floor. She slowly lifted her head and gazed at Emiko, who wore a look of disappointment.
"Freak," Mira said in a crude tone.
"What did you say?"
"I said you little bitc---" Mira couldn't finish her sentence as Emiko used what seemed like telekinetic ability to hurl her forcefully against the wall. She collided with a large frame hanging there and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Emiko withdrew her attention from Mira and turned her gaze to Hiraku, who was chanting a spell with his hands clenched together. Emiko's eyes shot open in terror as she saw Hiraku's spirit invading her spirit domain.
Hiraku opened his eyes, feeling his appearance transform once more into a golden brilliance. His golden armor glistened as he held his fiery sword tightly, ready to face the demon behind Emiko's eerie behavior.
Suddenly, stage lights appeared up ahead, and the surroundings transformed into a grand theater. A woman wearing a long red gown slowly floated down toward Hiraku. Her eyes were covered with a red ribbon, and her long dark hair seemed to float weightlessly around her.
"My knight in shining armour has come to save me,oh my shinning knight," The woman said,her red lips smiling with cruel intent.
Hira didn't hesitate,he quickly darted forward and plunged his sword into her,she stayed motionless with her mouth wide open. Hiraku withdrew his sword. Blood oozed out of the opening,and she held her stomach,
"Darling why kill me,the love of your life," She said as she fell backwards in a slow like motion.
Her voice crackled with demonic laughter, and as soon as she hit the ground, she turned into dust. Hiraku was stunned.
Is that it? he thought to himself. An Omega demon can't be defeated so easily.
"Darling here I am," a voice said behind him. Hiraku turned quickly and saw her standing a few feet away from him smiling mockingly. She had her red dress on,and there was no blood stain or any gaping wound. Hiraku swung his sword upwards in an attempt to cut of her head,he struck her but she turned to dust once more. Down the theatre,an eerie chorus of laughter echoed . Hiraku slowly went to the edge of the theatre and saw hundreds of children in red dresses seated across the rows of chairs. He looked closely,and his eyes widened in horror. The heads of the children were all skulls.
