The demon

It resolves and grabs the locket out of the air. It starts scratching something into it. I scream in pain. I yank it off and throw it down. A glowing symbol appears on it. It looked like the eyes that memory-me had when he started speaking in Old Dragon. My chest is branded with the symbol. Tohru sees this and winces in sympathy.

The demon disappears. Tohru says, "Whe-"

She looks at me and screams. The demon has reappeared behind me. I struggle futilely against the demon, who is trying to strangle me. "Tohru! Burn it! It's a messenger demon! It has a 'low' heat tolerance!"

"It'll kill you!"

"It's a mindscape! The most you'll do is give me a fever!"

"Okay…"

She stands up and blows fire over me, and the demon shrieks in my ear. Its grip loosens. "Hotter!"

She looks at me and the flames turn white-hot. My eardrums disintegrate. The demon melts into darkness and disappears, so I gulp in sweet breaths of air. "I thought you said it's tolerance was low!"

"If I wasn't being strangled, I would've made air quotes! And it is low…for a demon."

I realize two things. One, I see Tohru looking down in horror. Two, my eardrums are restored. I follow her gaze. I see two things, one horrifying her, the other, me. What terrifies her is the pentagram I'm sitting on. So that's why I healed! I pale when I see her looking at the wet spot on my pants. I pull my knees up to my chest, hug them, bury my face, and sob.

Then, I hear Tohru moan. I look and see that she has started jerking off to my wet pants. She cums, and falls to her knees.

Tohru covers so well that I don't know what's happening until she grabs me by the collar of my shirt and my head snaps to the side. I feel a stinging in the shape of a hand on my cheek. She drops me. She slapped me…again!

I realize two things in succession. First, I can't move my neck. Second, I can't breathe. "PERVERT!" Tohru yells. My vision tunnels and goes dark at the edge. I grab my throat. Tohru! I can't breathe! Help!

She pales. "I'm so sorry! This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me!"

She slaps me from the other side just before I pass out. I gulp fresh air as soon as I hear the Crack! My vision restores. I cough. "Tohru…*cough-cough*…if I was mortal…*cough-cough*… I'd be…*cough-cough*…dead. S-sorry I'm…*cough-cough*… such a…*cough-cough*…perv. I heard you…*wheeze*…moan and I couldn't…*gasp*…look away. I wholly deserved that."

I try to stand, but my muscles are weak from under-oxygenation, and I fall. Tohru catches me and sits down, with me on her lap facing her , and my legs on either side of her. "Tohru…where's my locket?"

She reaches into the grass and grabs it. She gives it to me, and I study the symbol. It looks like the eyes of demonic memory-me. I put the locket away, and time unfreezes. When past me gets the locket and walks into the woods, I hear tires on gravel. I look and see Michiru step out of the car. I bury my face in Tohru's boobs again. "H-hey…" She trails off. I assume she saw Beccy.

She just watches. I start sobbing. "What's wrong…Did she bre-" She stops when Rebecca pulls out her locket, and silently listens to our conversation.

"Oh…"

In response, I pull out my locket. Tohru notices it looks like Rebecca's. "She's your-"

"Senpai." I confirm, nodding into her ample cleavage.

The memory ends, and time refreezes. The words come to me. "Shada naar, sooth de."

The scape fades out, and I wake up. My face is wet, my head in Tohru's lap. She's stroking my hair. When she sees that I'm awake, she hugs me to her boobs. "I'm so sorry."

I feel something wet on my head, and realize that she's crying, too.
