Shiro approached the building where he is supposed to meet Lily Graz, the “Demon Giant of Zenith High”. The man with glasses that stood before the door bowed and greeted him.
 
 
“Glad you didn’t get cold feet, Mr. Yukimura.” the man said.
 
 
“Where’s Lily?” Shiro demands, trying to get this over with.
 
 
“This way.” He leads Shiro into the building and down a dusty hallway. It wasn’t long before they reached a door than seemed too clean to match the other scenery. The man knocked on the door in a particular pattern, like a passcode or something. As he began to open the door, he whispered to Shiro, “You'll do fine. I got a funny feeling about you. Well you better get in there.” Books opens the door as Shiro enters a nearly empty room with an old but regal looking sofa in the center with a small table next to it & both in the center of the room, an old wall clock on one of the walls. After entering the door slams behind him, Shiro then focuses on the tall and beautiful silver-haired woman laying on the couch.
 
 
“Well Mr. Yukimura I am glad I didn't leave. Not many have ever stood up to me & manage to impress me. I’d like to resolve this peacefully as well.” Shiro a little confused and concerned replies ”Tell me Lily. Back in Ms. Leslie's class, what did you do to me? Does it have something to do with what you did to the teachers?”
 
 
Lily smiles and answers, ”That is a secret.” Lily stands up and walks over to Shiro. She puts her face up to Shiro's ear and whispers, ”So knowing that I am a monster would you still stand here and try to reason with the likes of me? If I were to ever threaten your other friends or even your family?”
 
 
Shiro boldly replies, "Rachael is my friend and she is very important to me and I will save her! Even from you."
 
 
Lily backs away and giggles. “There is some sort of charm to you Mr. Yukimura. I hoped you would say something like that. I can see how you've managed to get known to those outside the school.” Lily sighs with a sad look on her face and then smiles as she said “So you enjoying yourself?”
 
 
Shiro replies with another question, "Why are you doing this?"
 
 
Lily replies “It allows me to know my clients a little better. Like I can now be sure your brave to some degree. I have my reasons...you wouldn't understand.”
 
 
“How can you be sure?”
 
 
Lily ignores Shiro and lays back on her couch. “There is definitely something about you that attracts predators to you and it's not just your odd ability.”
 
 
Shiro was completely surprised by how this girl knew about his family’s ability even though he never told her or anyone besides his closest friends.
 
 
“Yes, I know about your little secret. You've been in many bellies haven't you naughty boy.” Lily winks at Shiro who isn't sure if he should feel confused or embarrassed by Lily words.
 
 
“How do you know about it?!” he demanded. Even Shiro knows what kind of attention it’ll draw if word got out of an ability like what his and his sister have exists.
 
 
“I have my sources.” Lily teased.
 
 
The clock bells chime signalling that it’s nearly 5 o’clock. “Well you've passed I guess.” Shiro sighs with relief & replies “Can we please get to the matter I came here for?” Lily responds “Yes let’s-” Shiro sees Lily's face suddenly go pale as she falls to her knees.
 
 
“Lily what's wrong?!” Lily replies “No not now?! I thought I was done with this for now!!” Lily with her head facing down just sits there kneeling down motionless to Shiro's concern “Um...Lily?”
 
 
Suddenly Shiro feels a familiar presence. As this happens Lily lifts and turns her head to Shiro.
He felt the same evil aura as he did from Ms. Leslie’s class, but far stronger this time. All of a sudden, he could no longer feel his body as he collapses to the floor. “What’s...happening to my...body?” he says as he struggles to lift a finger. Then Lily’s giant figure towers over him as a tint of burning red glows behind her emerald eyes. Shiro panics as he had the feeling that something far worse than being swallowed awaited him.
 
 
“I see now. It was just a miracle that my power didn’t work back then.” Lily’s voice now had a much more sinister tone. She looks down at Shiro’s helpless state. She knelt down on top of his paralyzed body with a ravenous look on her face.
 
 
“Did you know that some snakes have venom that is meant to render their prey unable to move, escape, or defend themselves? And all so the snake can have a less resistant meal to devour whole and alive.” This is in fact the first time in nearly a decade that Shiro has felt actual fear from a predator. “You should feel honored, having the pleasure of seeing the real me, inside and out. I surely hope you won’t disappoint me, my sweet little Shiro.”
 
 
Shiro trembled at the thought of being swallowed by this crazy girl, but for some reason he couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t Lily’s true face. The one who he locked eyes and spoke with when he first came into the room was the genuine Lily Graz. “Lily!” he cried out, “why are you doing this? I thought we were going to discuss Rachael’s debt!”
 
 
“Trivial affairs.” Lily replies. “The way you’re going to be squirming in my belly is a far more important matter.” As she says that, she begins to slowly remove his clothing as he’s unable to resist.
 
 
“Lily stop this!” Shiro pleads.
 
 
Lily ignores him as she continues to undress him, all the way down to his underwear. “What wonderful, tender meat.” Lily taunts as she strokes her hand all over his bare body. Lily with a wicked look in her eyes grabs Shiro who now wonders if he should have taken Dr. Tachibana's suggestion.
 
 
“L-Lily?!” Shiro said.
 
 
“It was nice meeting you, Shiro, but I think it’s time I show you my special place...in my stomach!” She grabs him by the shoulders and brings his head closer to her gaping mouth. He struggled in vain as he desperately tried to escape her grip, but alas his vision turned black as his face was pushed onto something slimy and wet. Lily’s tongue caressed his face as was steadily brought in deeper until he was wrapped up in her powerful throat muscles. He could feel her giggle around him as the ominous gurgle of her awaiting stomach echoed from below. Shiro feared the worst until...
 
 
Lily shuddered at the taste of her prey’s sweet supple skin as his bare body glided across her taste buds. She playfully pats his butt as a ‘reward’ for his exquisite flavor. As she prepared to gulp the rest of him down, she froze. A familiar voice echoed in her head as the red hue in her eyes began to fade away. Meanwhile, Shiro felt his descent into her belly suddenly come to a stop. He realized this was probably his chance.
 
 
“Snap out of it Lily!” Shiro pleads.
 
 
With that single cry, the haze in Lily’s mind cleared. Lily's euphoria turned into horror as she begins to carefully pull Shiro out of her throat. After a few seconds, Shiro laid out practically naked before the giant of a girl, though he was still immobilized. Lily then lifts Shiro up and embraces Shiro's slimy body and starts crying shamefully. Shiro, although was relieved he wasn't eaten, feels a bit awkward as his face was smothered in Lily’s soft bosom.
 
 
After a few minutes, Lily calmed down and releases Shiro from her grip. With a soft smile she said, “If I did this right, Mr. Yukimura, you should start regaining control of your arms and legs now.” Shiro did feel a bit relieved he could move his body again, however...
 
 
“Lily what's going on?” he asks.
 
 
Lily giggles with relief and answers “I told you already. Now…please get back into your clothes.” She shyly turns around as he quickly puts on his uniform again.
 
 
Lily sits back on the sofa as Shiro sits next to her. Lily sighs with a sad look in her eyes “You know that book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?” Shiro nods. “Well I have a mental disorder like that and for years its caused havoc in my life. Bullying shamefully is one way I‘ve been suppressing it and it works but the catch is people feared me Mr. Yukimura. My size and my behavior are what got me that nickname. You know…I don't really eat people that often.”
 
 
Shiro is shocked by this info and replies. “But then what about Sophia and the others before them?”
 
 
Lily in a sad tone replies, “The people I bullied and that didn't end up my meal either
move away from the city outta fear of me or usually ended up meals for my friends. However, when the school sees that a student disappears and hear I was involved they usually assume I ate them. It was who Fiona ate Sophia and I tried to eat a friend who must hate and fear me now and I tried to playfully eat someone I only met today.” She looks to Shiro and then looks away appearing very ashamed of herself.
 
 
“You mean Rachael?”
 
 
“I went too far with my behavior today. But although I got back at Mr. Tanaka, I feel bad about Ms. Leslie. But that is just how I am in reality. A really messed up girl with a few friends & a loving father that sometimes I don't feel like I even deserve to have.”
 
 
Shiro feels bad for this tall and beautiful woman. “I would have never guessed any of that about you, Lily. I’m sorry…”
 
 
Lily interrupts, “No need to. I wronged you, Rachel and a lot of people throughout my life.” She sighs. “I think I have a simple solution to settling Rachel's debt to me.” Shiro pays attention “I'll ask you a favor...not now but....in the future because I don't know what it'll be yet. So would that work for you Mr. Yukimura?”
 
 
Shiro though concerned for Lily and also about what that favor could be decides to go with that to resolve Rachel's debt to her. “I accept Lily.” Lily sighed with relief “Then Rachel is off the hook….for now.”
 
 
Lily sits up and walks towards the door that Shiro came in from. “You can go I advise you not to speak of what happened between us to anyone. I like to keep that reputation of mine at Zenith High School for my own sake. As of now I won't cross you, your friends or family ever again. You have my word.”
 
 
Shiro seems satisfied with Lily's words and as he walks towards the door, he stops and turns towards Lily to her confusion “Something wrong Mr. Yukimura?” Shiro with a kind look on his face said “I can protect you too, Lily. Trust me, okay?” To Lily's surprise Shiro extends his right hand to Lily and then said “I think we should be friends.” A confused Lily replies “Mr. Yuk...no,Shiro you would be friends with someone like me even with all I told you and with everything that happened today?”
 
 
Shiro just smiles and replies “I promised you, right? I never go back on my word!” Lily though still confused but feels a little happy by this though hestaties but does shakes Shiro's hand. “Alright then Shiro...thank you.” She then pulls her hand back and said. “Well...I guess I’ll see you later, Shiro.”
 
 
Shiro replied, “Take care of yourself Lily.”
 
 
As Shiro walked out, Lily then summons Books “I assume everything went well?” he asked.
 
 
Lily replies “Please make sure Mr. Yukimura gets home safely got it?”
 
 
Books though suspicious replies “Of course boss. Well see you later and welcome back to school.” Books leaves to shadow Shiro to make sure he gets home safely. Lily ponders on her day but instead suddenly thinks about Shiro which clouds her mind to her own confusion.
 
 
“Why is he on my mind? I don't even know him and yet...what is this feeling?”
 
 
The End
