5. Just Friends

Everyone was excited to bite their respective loaves of bread. It was bright red. Everyone was stunned after they bit the bread. Sweat welled up on their faces and they all blushed. Almost at the same time they shouted.

"WATER!..."

They all threw away their loaves of bread and ran away. Grimm just shook his head at the scene. He immediately picked up the loaves that had fallen to the floor and smeared them with dirt.

"They can still be, its less than five minutes!"

He ate all the bread that was bitten and he really enjoyed it. 'Yummy!'. when he felt thirsty he immediately drank his water bag. He was busy snacking when...

"Hello, Grimm! How are you?"

His eyes widened when he heard the soft and gentle voice of a woman. He spilled the water he was drinking when he saw Rusty's face. It smiled at him and he was stunned. His heartbeat quickened and he swallowed steadily even though he had no food in his mouth. He could not understand how he felt. He paranoid to look at its face. Rusty is really nice. It blows its straight black hair.

"H-How did you know I was here? And what are you doing here at school?" he asked.

"First of all, I asked your schoolmates and I found out that your tambayan is here on the rooftop, second, I am here because I enrolled. I can go in tomorrow!" Rusty said enthusiastically.

(Tambayan- a place where you always hang-out.)

Grimm scratched his head and smiled shyly at Rusty. The girl looked at the bread Grimm was holding.

"Uy, that bread looks good ah? Can I ask? It looks delicious." said Rusty.

"Oh, don't... I'm sorry if I won't give it to you. You definitely can't handle the taste. I just invented this bread... I haven't even given it a name yet."

Rusty thought and stared at the bread. The color was very red then... And obviously there was a thick stuffing inside because it was cracking.

"Why did you say I couldn't handle the taste?" she asked.

"You know, I mixed the flour I used with diced devil chili... And I stuffed it inside with jalapeno chili jam..."

Rusty frowned, she couldn't stand the taste. She was terrified when she thought she wanted to taste that bread without knowing what kind it really was. Fortunately, she knows how to ask questions.

"But you know, for me it tastes good. It tastes so good! The sharpness bites!"

Then Grimm suddenly thought of something.

"I already know what I will name this bread... EXPLOSION!" he exclaimed.

Rusty smiled.

"It simply came to your notice then. It looks like anyone who eats that will explode... You also have a different taste." she commented.

Grimm smiled.

"By the way, why are you looking for me? Do you want something from me? Well, I can't blame you."

Rusty laughed softly.

"I'm sorry, Grimm... I want someone and it's not you... He is the type with strong charisma. His name is Kief, Papa's best student at the Exorcist School."

"It's good, it's clear. You might think I like you so I said that. To tell you, I have a crush. She's the campus sweetheart Maxine. Wait, it's time for her to pass!"

Grimm then went to the side and looked down. It depressed and softened the facial expression. Rusty followed it and also looked at what it was looking at. There is no doubt that its crush is good. Her face was gentle as if she could not break a plate. Tall than usual, and has a beautiful body.

Rusty did look at her own chest and looked at the woman's chest. She was suddenly embarrassed when she compared hers. Mount Pulag has nothing against mount Everest. She sighed at her thought and look at Grimm.

"Does she know you exist?" Rusty suddenly asked.

"Hmm... I think not." Grimm answered bluntly.

"You have no intention of courting her?"

"Nah, its just crush. Nothing serious. Besides, did you notice that she was rich then... I can't reach her, you know that. Besides, I'm ashamed of myself."

"Ha ha ha, My situation is far more better than you. I exist in the life of my crush. We're even close eh." Rusty said proudly.

"Tsk, tsk, did you look for me to brag about that to me?" Grimm asked annoyed.

"No, I just want to ask something. That is if you know something, it's okay not to."

"What is that, huh?"

"Do you know any way for me to see spirits and other elements? I tried Bloody Mary, Spirit of the glass or whatever... But nothing had work." Rusty said desperately.

Grimm cross his arms.

"There is..." he said shortly.

"What?"

"You probably know that cats feel stronger and see supernatural than dogs... You can borrow ability from them." Grimm said suddenly.

"Really? How?" she swallowed the question.

I hope she doesn't have to kill a cat, she can't do that!

"Look for kittens... The type who is just starting to open its eyes... Apply your finger to their eyes and then to your eyes, according to my Lola Epang, after you wiped your finger that was rubbed on the eyes of the kittens. When you wake up, you will see unusual things."

Rusty was dumbfounded... She thought deeply.

"R-Really?" she suddenly asked.

"Yes, it seems."

Rusty sighed.

"Thank you?" she suddenly spoke.

Now, she knew what to do. Thank you so much for this... Grimm looked at her. Then turn its gaze to the sky.

"I don’t if that was true. But you know, Rusty. Just don't do that thing. It's better not to open your body channel to supernatural things. You will only be damned. Also, are you not afraid of what you might suddenly see? Or what will happen?"

"I'm also scared. That's all, I need to do that."

"Is it because you belong to an exorcist family? Is that just the way it is? Is that really what you want?"

"You say that because you do not know my Grandfather. He is different. He is the kind of person who rules every word and does not need the opinion of others. I do not know what can happen when everyone finds out that the granddaughter of the best exorcist in history is incompetent. I am a great disappointment and shame by chance."

"Hmmmf! Shallow." comment by Grimm.

"Just change the topic. I don't want to talk about those things first."

"Okay, what topic?"

"You don't have a girlfriend?"

"I'm not dating, am I? Why did you ask that?"

"I just thought because maybe someone will suddenly fight with me here at school when I approach you."

"No one will do that. Besides, I don't believe in that Love."

Rusty frowned.

"You don't believe but you have a crush? How is that?"

"Crush-affection without any feelings..."

Rusty scratched her hair.

"With the crush so it all starts! Maybe you just don't know how to flirt so you say that?"

Grimm was startled and suddenly sweaty. He smiled, it looked like she had caught it.

"Do you want me to teach you? We are friends."

"Hmmmf! You're making a way huh!"

"Its not that! I will taught you about courtship and how to apply the appeal there to yourself, will you think differently? Excuse me, your not my type... No strings attached. Just a real friend."

"You don't have to teach me that anymore. You already explained to me about temptation and seduction. I already asked my older brother that, it's just a simple joke."

Rusty laughed.

"What's funny?"

"If you are referring to Cloud 9, it is not temptation and seduction. That 's just a style of greed with teasing!"

Grimm raised an eyebrow and glared at the woman. Then...

"All right, teach me how I can apply the appeal to myself. Then, I will test you if I can tempt you and when I tempt you, your soul is mine!"

Rusty was shaken, he had not forgotten his demonic trip supposedly...

"All right, tempt me now." she challenged.

Grimm is willing... He took off the belt of his pants and tied it with his hands.

"Do what you want with my body. As long as I have your soul."

Rusty was very scratchy on the cheek.

"Hmf! You don’t look yummy. All right, I'm leaving!"

She left Grimm stunned and pissed...

"Get ready for me! You have a day too!"

Grimm then nervously removed the belt that was tied to his hands. He stopped what he was doing when he felt a strong gust of wind. That is not uncommon. He felt good around, an unusual creature was coming. Fortunately, Rusty left.

"Wak!"

He looked up and saw a huge vulture flying above him. Its nails are large and its eyes are red. That is not an ordinary vulture, it is a demon. They are used as spies. This bird also captures souls, usually those who are seriously ill. He is a traitor to Hell so he is against every demon.

"Damn it! This one notice me!"

The bird quickly plunged down and its massive beak pointed at him. He used the belt to protect himself from its beak. He slapped it like a whip. But suddenly it fluttered its large wings. A strong wave of wind created it and he flew away. He slides. This is the hard part, he no longer has the ability to seduce people and he does not have special powers like other demons. He still looks inferior. But he would not lightly allow this bird to take him back to hell without a fight.

The bird attacked quickly and used its toenails. Its long black nails that shine in the sunlight are sharp. He escaped its attack because he jumped high. Every time the bird attack he avoids, and its nails creates huge scratches on the floor...

It flew very high and he looked up at it. It stopped long above. Then it plunged down to where he was. Its large beak pointed. He had an idea. He did not leave his position. He waited for it to approach and before it could finally get close to him, he jumped high. He rode on the back of it and with his belt, he strangled its neck. The bird struggled, but he tightened his grip on his belt. He choked the bird even harder as it fought back.

"You're going to die!" he said desperately.

It fluttered its wings, made a croaking noise and dropped dead. It circled in the air then suddenly plummeted downward. Because of that, he was released in no time...

He falls and he will surely be crushed when he falls.

"WAK!"

The bird is approaching him and he has no fight when it happens. But his desperation prevailed, he had to live. Wrong, he wants to live! He put on his belt on, he was currently floating in the air and things seemed to be in slow-motion. He slapped his belt’s iron on the bird's eye before it bit him. A lot of blood spilled from its eyes... They both fell, he felt great pain when his body hit the cement. He was surprised to feel that his body was not crushed. Then he remembered that...

"I-I'm a demon, not an ordinary person." he suddenly spoke.

He was lying down and staring at the sky. He was about to get up when the big vulture suddenly hit him. One of its eyes shone and black blood dripped from his left eye which he hit with the iron of his belt.
