More Secrets

More Secrets

A Chapter by ♋ Iris ♋

"Just tell me why." Makoto said. He kept getting the same answer to his question but never got reasoning for it. Anika was torn with her decision for she wanted to say yes but she worried. 
"I am just not ready." She answered. The two were standing outside of a restaurant that they had just gotten done eating at. A small breeze blew a few strands of her silver hard into her face. She pushed it back while avoiding eye contact with him. He gently grabbed her hand.
"I just want to know why you wont move in with me. It's not like you never stayed the night." She pulled her hand away and quickly shushed him. "What?" She rolled her eyes at him. This man was so goofy sometimes she didn't know what to do with him.
"Babe, I know." She said with a small blush. "I just...I want to wait." Makoto sighed. Then smiled his famous, cute, half-smile.
"I wouldn't wait for anyone else but you baby." Anika smiled as her heart fluttered. These two had met at the beginning of winter. It's summer now and their relationship had been nothing short of the best six months of Anika's life. Makoto felt like they were ready to move in together and even though Anika wont admit it to Makoto, she felt the same way.
The restaurant was only a few blocks away from Makoto's house so they walked to this date and left the truck at home. It was dark out now and stars were starting to show. Anika started to wonder if leaving the truck at the house was a smart idea. The only way to get to Makoto's house from here was through a series of three alleyways. It was fine walking threw there earlier when the sun was out but now...
"What's up, baby?" Said an unfamiliar voice. 
"S**t." Anika cursed aloud. Makoto and Anika both turned around to see four men standing at the end of the alleyway. "Makoto..." He wasn't listening to her. He glaring at the guy stepping forward. 
"What do you guys want?" Makoto asked the four reeling men. Even from about eight feet away Anika could smell the alcohol on them. Anika grabbed Makoto's arm and tried to head back for the house but Makoto didn't move at all.
"We want that girl." Anika gasped when she saw that one of the guys had a hand that looked like a claw. Could that be...?
"I noticed it too, honey." Makoto whispered. 
Believe it or not, humans knew of demons inhabiting the world. They lived together. Demons, all together, didn't think they were superior to the humans or vis versa. But, just like humans, a few demons liked to show off their strength and commit crimes.

"Do you think that just because you are demons, I am going to give in to you?" He spat at the drunken men.
"Even if you don't we have more strength then you do." One of the men shot back.
"And more speed." Another one said. To the human eye, it would have looked like he disappeared, but what actually happened was that he ran at Makoto with lightening speed. Blood filled the air as a gash appeared on Makoto's arm.
"Damn!" He yelled. Anika stood in front of Makoto. "Anika! Stay back!"
"I can handle myself, I am a big girl." She said not looking at him.
"Wow boys, looks like she is going to hurt us." One of the demon men laughed.
"Damn straight!" Anika yelled. Then, suddenly, out of her shoulder blades shot out two red dragon looking wings. The wings stretched out wider than her arms length. The tip top of the wings towered over her head and the bottom were under her knee caps.
"Holy s**t! She is a demon too!" One of the guys said.
"Looks like she is ready for a fight too." This guy looked like he was the leader of the group that stood in front of Anika. She wanted a fight alright. She wasn't going to let them get away with hurting Makoto...Even if that meant that Makoto would see her secret. She couldn't even look back at him with the fear of seeing his reaction.
"Your move." Anika said calmly. The main guy shrugged and got down on all fours. Claws started to replace what his hands used to look like. Suddenly, he pounced at Anika. She gave on flap of her wings and was air born. While she was, she placed a foot in the middle of the earthbound demon.
"That all he had?" She asked. The 'leader' of this pathetic drunk lot was out cold from one blow. That just meant that the others would be easy to beat as well. She was wrong. One at a time would have been easy but the last three attacked at once.
All of them were earthbound which gave Anika the advantage. One of the men came at her with claws from the front. She grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back. She was open to the attack that had come from her back. Another guy had jammed his claws into her shoulder. She brought her elbow down the man's head that she was holding and let him drop.
Anika spun around in the air and round house kicked the man in the gut. He was out like a light. The last guy just decided to take off. She landed back on the ground and went back into complete human form. She had to do something that she didn't want to do and turned around to Makoto.
"Anika? Are you alright?" Makoto asked running to her. Her eyes filled with tears, not because of the pain in her shoulder, but the fact that Makoto was still there.
"Makoto!" She yelled throwing her good arm around him. "I didn't want to move in with you because I didn't know how you would react to me being a demon."
"Anika..." He wrapped his good arm around her as well. "I love you, forever and always. No matter what."
"The answer is yes. I will move in with you." She said with tears in her eyes.
"I was hoping..." Makoto let go of Anika, reached into his pocket, and got down on one knee. "That maybe I could get another yes." Makoto opened the box and a diamond engagement ring shown brightly. Anika shot her hands over her mouth. More happy tears came as she gave him her answer. He slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her passionately.

HmmmI figured Makoto was a demon himself but it looks like he isn't

Another good chapter, got a fight scene and I wonder what Makoto's reaction was to seeing dragon wings come out Anika lol...Nice to see him stand up for his woman, even against demons. Chivalry at its finest

I'm guessing Anika is pretty strong to take on four guys, even if they are drunk...Looking forward to seeing what else she can do

From the earthbound comment it seems to me there will be a different variety of demons which will be cool to see if it's true

As for errors I only noticed one. In the fifth paragraph it says they have meet when it should be met

Can't wait for the next chapter and this is a real interesting story : )
