Just an idea I started, then lost interest in:
“H, Hey... What... Are you doing?†Katsuragi Keima questioned, unnerved by the pink haired girls invasion of his personal space.
“I don’t have anyone else I can rely on, except you Keima-Kun...†Kanon confessed,
“I’ve been strange recently!!†she almost cried into his shoulder.
“I... haven’t forgotten you Keima-Kun†She was scared, he realised.
“I remember everything...†And just like that, the silence that had surrounded the two of them since she had grabbed him was lifted.
“Ehhhhh! Kanon-Chan!â€
“You know Otamega!? What’s your relation to him!?â€
“C, Come with me.†Keima mumbled, pulling Kanon to her feet, and leading them out into the hall, ignoring the grumbling complaints of the other students.
“What’s wrong with you!? Why are you telling me that you’re...†He trailed off; a sudden understanding dawned on him.
“Wait, you remember!? You remember that we were seeing each other before?†You questioned carefully.
Kanon blushed at his rather blunt confession
“Yes...†She relented.
“About the rooftop and the stadium at the waterfront too?†he questioned; he knew that some of the other girls had vague memories of him so he had to make sure.
“I remember everything!†She shouted at him, desperately begging him to believe her.
“...E, Even that we kissed?†He chocked the question out; it wasn’t this hard asking anyone else!
“...Yes...†She replied, her face a deep shade of crimson, her head down.
‘She really does remember everything...’ He thought, silently stunned.
“Keima-Kun... So you do remember too†She stared slightly at him, he really remembered her?
“Keima-Kun!!†She cried, throwing herself at him again, relief surging through her.
“What!? What are they doing?â€
“Who, Who!?â€
“We’re in the middle of a test!â€
“Eh, Kanon-Chan?â€
Sound from the classrooms had finally began to leak out into the hall, as the more gossip loving students left their classrooms.
“I... I...†She mumbled into his chest.
“I... Love you Keima-Kun!†She yelled,
“I always... always wanted to tell you that!!†She punctuated by holding him tighter.
“Wha, What?†What was going on? This wasn’t like his games! His parameters with Kanon had been set back to zero!
“Ehhhhh!! A love confession!†The eavesdropping students yelled, but Keima barely heard them, his mind attempting to figure out what was happening, and failing miserably.
The hallway exploded in to mindless chatter before Keima’s mind rebooted, causing him to grab the blushing idol’s hand and pull her along the hall, out of everyone’s sight.
“What... What are you blurting out all of a sudden!?†He nearly yelled at her.
* * *
After reaching the stairwell, he turned to face the girl who had just confessed to him, mindful of the fact he was still holding her hand.
“Keima-Kun, please listen to me! I’m being targeted by someone!†She sounded scared, understandable given the circumstances, and the fact that she came to him of all people...
“Targeted by whom?†Although he had a pretty good idea, somebody had antagonised Hinoki to further evolve her Weiss.
She suddenly yanked her hand back, sending him tumbling to the floor.
“Humans shouldn’t get involved any further than this!†Kanon’s voice rang out, although it sounded different then it had a moment ago.
Climbing to his feet, he took note of the most obvious change.
“A halo!†He took a step back, he shouldn’t have been surprised, but strangely he was.
Aside from that, a few red marks had appeared on her face, unlike Diana.
“Ooh, I switched places with her! It seems a bit of my power has returned!†She was grinning, although it looked quite out of place on Kanon’s face.
“It’s all thanks to you!†She said, turning in his direction.
“However that’s enough. I won’t involve someone who has nothing to do with this!†Giving him a quick wink, she turned on her heel and bolted.
Frowning, he took off after her.
* * *
Now, Keima knew he wasn’t the fittest person around, but as of his conquest had begun, he’d be pushed to his physical limit many a time.
He knew it was impossible to keep up with Kanon, he wasn’t the most physically fit person after all, but he could keep her in his sights easily enough.
He had managed to chase her outside of the school, she probably wasn’t even aware that he has followed her, as she had slowed to stop.
A small grin reached across the capturing gods face at the opportunity before he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, frowning his pushed his tired muscles as hard as he could.
* * *
“Even if I say that...†She muttered aloud, “Was this really the right thing to do?†She frowned.
“I can’t even fly... Where can I find a good hiding place?†She muttered taking a glance over the building in front of her.
“Kanon!†She heard the boy, Keima’s, voice before she was roughly shoved to the ground.
“Hey what was that-!?†She was about to shout at him before she noticed his current predicament.
He was suspended in the air, some kind of cloth wrapped firmly around his neck.
“Guh!†He choked out, he had managed to stop whoever it was from getting Kanon, but he had been caught instead.
“Damn you. Damn you. Damn you!!!†Turning his head, he noticed the cloaked figure; a girl if the sound of her voice was any indication.
“Damn you to hell Katsuragi! Why are you always interfering!?†She was screaming her head off, apparently his latest act of ‘Interference’ being too much for her take.
“Die! Katsuragi!†She was in front of him before he even had a chance to blink, the feeling of something being rammed through his chest cutting off any remark he could have made.
“Keima-Kun!!!†He heard someone scream, right before the darkness took him.
* * *
Watching Keima getting stabbed was enough of a shock for Kanon to reassert herself and push Apollo into the back seat again.
“Keima-Kun!!!†She screamed cradling his head in her lap, tears trailing down her face at the sight of his unnaturally pale face.
“Keima-Kun, no!†She sobbed, she felt useless, and worse, she felt guilty.
It was her fault, if she had stayed quiet in class, then this wouldn’t have happened.
‘No. It’s my fault, if I had explained things too him...’ If it was possible, Apollo felt even more guilty than her host, if what the demon had said was true, then Keima was already intimately involved.
“Kami-niisama!!â€
* * *
He was surrounded in darkness, his body weighed down by an invisible weight.
“Where, where am I? He questioned, his voice lacking the strength it usually held, as if the world of darkness surrounding it was draining of his strength, or rather, as if it was draining him of himself.
He could hear sounds, but they weren’t the sounds he was hoping to hear.
Deep feral growls, and the sounds of claw on stone, and even though the darkness had robbed him of his sight, he knew that whatever creature was making those noises, it was coming after him.
“-ma-Kun!†Was somebody shouting him?
“-eima-Kun!†The voice was getting louder, but the creature was also getting closer...
“Keima-Kun, look out!†He knew that voice, he dived in its direction, hearing a thud behind him, indicating whatever had tried to attack him had missed.
He felt something grab his hand, and the darkness that governed his sight faded.
He glanced up at his rescuer, and almost froze in shock.
Asuka Sora smiled at him, a light blush painted on her checks.

“He’s alive, surprisingly, since a curse of this level should have killed him almost instantly.†Haqua commented, her face twisted in worry.
