Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 10~ Kei Promise

Takana muttered to himself as he looked at the new child. He muttered with a frightened face. Then he got out of his chair and approached the new boy.

Dylan looked at Takana. It seemed, he was going to do something strange again in that class.

Takana was standing next to the new boy's desk. He kept staring at his face. Because the feeling of uneasiness continues to be noticed, finally the new child also glanced at Takana.

"You Oni! What are you doing here?!"

"What do you mean?"

"YOU'RE AN ONI!" Takana shouted and instantly pulled the new boy's hair.

Dylan was surprised. Then quickly, he immediately got up from the chair and approached Takana.

"Takana! What are you doing?!" snarl Dylan at him.

"ONI! THE ONI! THE ONI!"

Takana hit the new kid on the head. But the expression of the new boy was just ordinary. Then he started moving his right hand.

The new boy named Irvan grabbed and pulled Takana's collar, then threw Takana's body on the floor. Everyone's surprised. Dylan walked up to Takana and helped her stand back up. Takana could be silent for a moment.

"What are you doing?" asked Irvan with her flat face. But that tone of speech sounds creepy.

"You're it–"

"Sorry! It's just a misunderstanding! I'll calm him down!" Dylan smothered Takana's mouth and then pulled out his hand and brought her back to the seat.

"Dylan-san! It can't be like this!" Takana rebelled, releasing his hands from Dylan's grasp.

"What can't?! You are so weird from yesterday! Stop being rude to other students, and sit quietly!" dylan.

After Takana sat in his seat quietly, Dylan sat back down. However, Dylan will still maintain Takana's attitude.

"Although troublesome, still he should not make a riot in this school! If not, I'll have the problem too. Because, Takana is very close to me. When can I get rid of that woman?!"

Travel home–

Dylan was reading a book while walking. Takana was beside her at this moment. "Tumben once he wasn't noisy today. Maybe, I've given him a lesson that's worth it." Dylan's mind was at peace because Takana hadn't spoken to him from earlier.

"Dylan-san! Are you still mad at me?" tanya Takana is nervous. Finally he ventured to talk to Dylan again.

Dylan closed the book, then replied, "Huh, of course still. You can't what? Just for a day don't embarrass me in front of so many people!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help myself."

"Indeed, why the hell are you always beating up other people and yelling 'Oni'?! Like a crazy person!" dylan asked in an annoyed tone.

"I can't tell you. Because, Watashi wa anata no hogo Yujin desu!"

"Huf! Again those words." Dylab was sure, definitely after this, Takana would definitely ask her for friendship and every time Dylan asked her the reason, the girl always answered with the Japanese word.

Taps! tap!! taps!

Dylan heard the sound of footsteps of someone approaching towards him. He and Takana stopped, then slowly, he looked back.

"Hello you two!"

Behind us was Kei Sebastian. He came and immediately embraced the two of them. Then after that, Kei walked halfway between Dylan and Takana.

"What are you two doing, huh?" ask Kei.

Dylan did not answer. Takana started to open her mouth. "We're home together!"

"Ooh..., I can come with you, right?"

"Of course!"

Kei also let go of his embrace. He looked up at Dylan. "Oh yeah, Dylan! Are you feeling better?"

"What do you mean?" dylan asked back, then glanced at Kei.

"What's? Yesterday you were possessed by a strange creature and became evil. It was so scary of you yesterday. You intend to kill us both. Yeah, right, Takana?"

Dylan and Takana were shocked. Dylan was shocked because he did not believe what Kei said about his attitude yesterday.

"Yin-san! Don't talk about this now!" Inner Takana panicked.

"Takana's? Right, right?"

"Eh? Possessed of strange creatures and become evil? That's not possible! Why do you think fiction can be fact?! Kei's playing too many games, anyway!" snapped Dylan growled. He stepped back and tried not to listen to Kei's explanation anymore.

Takana breathed a sigh of relief. "Huh, it's a good thing that Dylan-san doesn't believe it. Kei-san sucks!"

Kei followed Dylan from behind. He will make her believe his story. But, suddenly Kei's back shirt was pulled by Takana quickly. Kei looked back.

"Yin-san! You have broken your promise. Don't you remember?" Takana.

"Eh? What promise?!"

"Looks like you forgot!"

Flashback yesterday–

When Fely arrived, he immediately hugged Takana. Then, shortly after, the Oni who possessed Dylan's body rose again. It stared intently at Fely, then quickly, it flew towards Fely. It will come back to attack.

Fely raised his hand up, then instantly, from a few fingers of his hand took out red threads that extended upwards coupled with a bright red light.

The threads flew towards the Oni and immediately tied Dylan's body. Shortly after, Brother Fely launched his attack. He's issued a red electric shock that's gonna knock the Oni out.

Apparently succeeded.

Because of the pain, the Oni came out of Dylan's body with a form like a collection of smoke and black shadows. His red eyes stared intently at Fely. But, the Oni can still smile.

"This time, I'll let you win! But, it's not over. I'll be back!"

After saying that, his Oni flew into the sky and disappeared. Fely approached Dylan's body, which had fallen under a tree. Takana breathed a sigh of relief because the Oni had left. He also approached Fely.

"Onee-chan, now what are you going to do?" tanya Takana who was beside Fely.

"I'm gonna erase Dylan's memory. Why why?" Fely pressed his index finger against Dylan's forehead. At that time, Dyalb did not feel any pain because he was in an unconscious state.

"It's okay. He can't remember this."

"Eh, but right, Dylan-san was possessed in an unconscious state. How did he know he was possessed by the Oni?" Takana.

"He could remember. Because, before he was possessed, he must have met the Oni. Anyway, under no circumstances, Dylan can't see the creature before he becomes your friend, Takana!" obviously Fely.

PLOK! PLOK!

They both heard the sound of someone clapping. Takana and Fely looked behind them. Then, from behind the tree, a young man appeared who liked to admit that he was handsome. It was Kei Sebastian.

"You guys are so great! I never looked to–"

WUUWSHH....

Quickly, Fely bound Kei's body with threads of strength coming out from his fingers.

"Who are you?!" snapped Fely.

"A–aku is a student from Harapan Bangsa 4 school! I'm Dylan's upperclassman! Uhh!" kei replied while trying to let go of her.

"Oh. You saw this incident too, huh? I have no other choice. I'll get rid of you straight away." Fely clenched his hand. He'll take out that sting. "You've seen too much already, so be prepared to die!"

"Eh?! Nah! No!" Kei started to get scared. He rebelled trying to get rid of himself.

"Wait, Onee-chan! This is Kei-san. He's Takana's girlfriend! Don't kill. Poor him."

"Pa–boyfriend?! But Takana..., she's la–"

"Silence Onee-chan! Now, let him go! Let me take care of it."

Fely nodded as well. Then, he released Kei. After that, quickly, Kei cursed behind a tree in fear. Takana walked up to him.

"Ta–Takana! I'm sorry.., I didn't do anything!" Kei trembled in fear as Takana approached him.

"It's okay Kei-san! Kei-san is not wrong. But, Kei-san already saw what Kei shouldn't have seen. Now, Kei-san has to promise Takana. Kei-san can't tell everyone about this. Including Dylan-san too, huh?" Takana stretched out her little finger.

Kei could only nod. He also obeyed Takana for his salvation. "I promise!"

*** ~

"'I promise'. That's what Kei-san said. Kei-san had already promised Takana not to tell Dylan-san about the creature." Takana smiled at Kei-san. Then, instantly, the smile faded. Takana's sinister face was shown in front of Kei. "Kei-san must keep promising. Otherwise, I will call Onee-chan to kill Kei-san. Yea?"

Instantly, Kei got goosebumps when he heard that. He could only nod slowly. Then after that, Takana went back to chasing after Dylan who was already far away on the streets.

Meanwhile, in the back, Kei just kept quiet. "Sounds like a threat from Takana. My own boyfriend turned out to be better than I imagined. He really is the type for me! Ahhh...."

Kei jumped up and down in excitement himself. She feels lucky to meet and be Takana's girlfriend. Then, after that, Kei also chased after Takana. He'll go home with her.

Behind Kei, right behind the bush on the side of the road, appeared a peeking person. It turned out that that person was Irvan the new boy.

When he got home, Dylan immediately entered his room. Takana also wanted to get in, but Dylan pushed her out. Dylan locked the door from the inside. He strictly forbade the girl to go inside.

Dylan slammed his body on the bed. He was a little bit yawning because he felt sleepy. Then turned his sleeping position and he hugged his Dakimakura. Before long, Dylan began to close his eyes.

GECK! GECK! GECK!

The sound of knocking on the door was very disturbing. That must be Takana.

"What's up?!" dylan shouted without moving.

"Dylan-san...?"

Dylan expected it. It's true Takana.

"Dylan-san! Can I come in? Takana's lonely. No playmates!" scream from out there.

"But, right, there's still my brother. Just play it with him!"

"But, Onee-chan is not home!"

"Eh? Brother not home? Where'd he go?" Thought Dylan in the heart.

Dylan nodded a little. Then he got off the bed. He opened the room door. Up ahead was Takana standing. He looked up at Dylan and the man was shocked.

Because what I saw up ahead, there was Takana who was not dressed. Dylan saw Takana wearing only his pants. But that's not the problem.

Dylan glanced at his chest. He shakes his head. Her chest looks very flat. "Well? Isn't it. Takana is a girl? Uh! Wait up! Don't tell me she's...."

"Takana..., why don't you wear your clothes?!" ask Dylan.

"Oh. I saw on the street, there were some men. They don't wear clothes. He said that men used to take off their clothes." Takana.

"But, Takana? You are a woman!" dylan.

"Huh? A female? I'm a man!" Takana. His face was slightly red.

"SO HE'S A GUY?!"

"ah! What all this time, Dylan-san thought I was a girl? Haha ..., that's funny. I am really a man! Does Dylan-san want any other evidence? I'll show you!" Takana will open his pants. But quickly, Dylan immediately prevented Takana from doing that.

"No! Nay! I understand now!" snapped it.

"Oh, good then!" Takana smile.

"But Takana, you still have to wear your clothes, dong! Not ashamed, what?!"

"Ah, okay. But Dylan-san..., my clothes are washed, does Dylan-san have any other clothes for me?"

Dylan held the back of his neck and exhaled heavily. "Huh, you're such a hassle! All right then. I have my old clothes. I'll get it!"

Dylan turned around. Takana. But suddenly, Takana stumbles over the edge of the door and crashes into Dylan. Instantly, the faces of the two of them instantly turned red.

Dylan's body lay on the floor and Takana fell on him.

"Hello, Dylan-san! Brother is home! Hey, do you guys want some ice cream?" Fely suddenly appeared in front of the room door. After he put the ice cream in his hand, he was surprised to see the current position of Dylan and Takana. Fely just stared at them.

Quickly, Dylan pushed Takana. "I can explain this!"

With his face still slightly flushed, Dylan said that.
