Episode 2

He emphasized that the little one was in his possession. In the Demon’s eyes there were furious flames, which clearly showed that he hates when anyone gets close to his possessions. He always was acting like a jealous husband, when it came to Yuki.

- “I’m apologizing lord Rey but since when is Yuki yours? Don’t go over your rights. Even if you are the Lord of the Demons don’t forget that he is special.”

- “And don’t you go overboard, with the rang you have, Archangel?”

Between them there were not sparks but lightings. The hate between them was tremendously huge. Neither of them remembered who was the 1st one to start the fight and what for but right now both of them were adding oil to the fire. Rey looked at Yuki and said:

- “Yuki, let’s go home. You did a very good job it’s time you rested for a bit. – The half demon went to his Lord. He stood up to him, and the lord put his hand on his left shoulder. – Thank you, Yuki I promise to find a way to stop this war as soon as possible. I know you kill yourself little by little every time you kill one of those creatures.”

-“ Lord Rey… I’m sorry I always bring you shame. I’m still not strong enough, for me to call myself a warrior.” – The lord was ready to confront him, but he didn’t say anything. The little one hadn’t realized yet the power that he has gained in the past few years. Yuki got dizzy for a moment and lost his balance. He fell into lord Rey’s hands like a little kid. He was at the end of his powers. The last few days he hadn’t slept at all and with all the fights he was at his limits.

- “Don’t worry little one, you haven’t done anything to shame me till now. Since I brought you here to live with us you haven’t betrayed my expectations.”

The explosion on the Demon lord’s face became soft and caring till he talked to the unconscious demon. When he looked at the angel, his face became serious and cloudy.

- “Do you understand now Michael, you don’t have anything to do with my demon!”

- “Do not think it will be like that for long. Whatever it takes, I’ll get him back in the Sky kingdom where he belongs. You don’t have the rights to keep him with you.“

Both of them looked each other waiting for a sign to engage in battle to death. The air around them felt heavy, like in a second everything would flame up. The scent of blood and flesh and the corpses around them made the atmosphere even heavier.

- “And you… what? Will you tell me that you have that right? Is it not enough that you killed his family, and now you want to send him to rot away?!” – The Demon lord started to lose his cool. He couldn’t stand the dumb angels and especially this one. Why did he have to meet him so often, god damn it.

- “It’s better for him to be in the Sky’s kingdom than to watch him kill himself little by little, thanks to you and your underlings.”

- “Mmm… Rey, please let’s go home. I can’t anymore…” - Yuki was barely standing on his feet. From time to time he was losing consciousness. The monster that he killed earlier was the 57th. This time the group was big and he had to manage alone like always. Rey saw that his little demon needed medical help fast or it will be fatal for his life if he didn’t get it.

-“ Yuki!” – The demon shouted.

The angel jump to catch the little demon, but he was late. Lord Rey had already teleported them away to the Demon kingdom. In the lords eyes there was a lot of anger. In the eyes of Michael, that were looking only at Yuki there was anxiety. He was seeing how exhausted he was. Michael decided even if he had to use force he would drag him in the Sky kingdom.

- “Damn it! I swear that whatever it takes me I’ll bring you back to the sky kingdom, Yuki! I won’t allow you to die too…” - Michael hit the ground whit his fist. The blood that the soil hadn’t swallow yet, splashed all over his face and uniform. From the fury, that had gotten inside of him he didn’t realize that he was biting his lips to blood. A stroll of blood ran down from the corner of his lips. The bloody drops fell to the ground and mixed with all the other blood.

The small demon was teleported with ease by lord Rey in the Demon kingdom. As soon as they arrived Yuki lost his balance and fell down. Rey took a deep breath, he threw him on his shoulder and he took him to his bedroom. Rey knew better than anyone else that Yuki will refuse to go to the infirmary. He hated the doctors even when he arrived here. He wouldn’t allow even one of them to touch him. No one knew the reason for that, but Rey decided to leave him be and do whatever he wanted. He dropped the little one near the bed.

- “Undress now and go take a shower!” – The lord looked at him with disgust. – “When it’s time I’ll teleport you to the surface.”

Rey ordered him with cold and angry voice. After that he got out of the room and banged the door after himself. For Yuki everything that happened today was a little too much. His meetings with Michael always were very tiring. He hated him for what he did to his sister. The pain was stronger than the love for his fake father. And now the cold shoulder from Rey was the lid to everything today.

Rey behaved like that only when he was very angry and he shouted to everyone that got in his way. Yuki knew very well the source of his anger this time. The meetings with his so hated Michael were getting more frequent. Yuki decided that he didn’t want to anger him anymore so he started to undress himself. He started taking off one by one the clothes stained by the blood and ooze. Almost every battle he was leading alone. From very little he learned to battle with two weapons.

Yuki had two big swords covered in runes. The runes helped him to kill those creatures that normal weapons couldn’t even scratch. Those swords were very precious to him. Very carefully he took them off his back and placed them on the ground. He took off his raincoat and all the other weapons and things that were under the raincoat. His ‘Uniform’ was a black baggy t-shirt, black leather trousers and a lot of cases with weapons attached to his legs and arms and every place on his body that he could hide a weapon. And everything was hided under the leather raincoat. He tried to take off his t-shirt but that was quite painful. He was wounded quite a lot of times and he got used to the pain so much that at times he could ignore it completely. He hadn’t notice the wound on his shoulder.

–“Pedicabo! (Damn it!)” – The wound wasn’t small and that made things even worse, because he had to go out to heal it. The doctor’s ointments and bandages weren’t going to help him this time. The next going out that he could afford was only after two days. Thanks to that that he was half and angel he could afford to heal himself. But to do that, he needed sunlight. And there was none in the Demon kingdom. His live was like a knife with two edges. Yuki knew it. For all those thousands of times in which he had risked his life, he learned a few rules. If any of the demons tried to heal him or transfer from their energy… one of them could die. Yuki had to go out every few days so he could replenish his energy or he would die.

- “How many times have I told you not to use this dirty language here!” – Someone shouted angrily behind him. – “You know that I forbid you to talk in Latin in the Demon kingdom. Even if you are half an angel here you can be only half a demon!” – It seemed like the lord was still angry. He slowly approached Yuki.

- “I’m sorry lord Rey.” – Yuki saw something in Rey’s hands. Rey left the little box he was caring on the table beside the bed. He grabbed Yuki for his hand and pulled him to the bed. Then he threw him by his stomach and put his knee on Yuki’s back. The little one tried to escape but he couldn’t.

- “I told you to stop calling me with my title when we are alone, Yuki. You are more special than the demons here and I think you know it.” – While Rey was talking with his cold emotionless voice, he ripped Yuki’s shirt and pulled out the piece that was piercing his right shoulder. He didn’t even blink as he did it.

- “Hhhh….” – Yuki moaned painfully without making any other sound. He started breathing faster. The blood started to flow from the wound.

Bloody drops started falling from the pulled piece and colored the sheets in dark red. Rey dropped the piece on the bed and reached out to grab the box. No matter how angry he was, he tried not to move while he was over Yuki. He was also careful not to touch his other wounds. Even with all the bandages Rey knew very well where all his wounds were. He was very careful not to put all his weight on him because he could break a rib. The weight of his knee was that strong as it had to be so Yuki couldn’t move. Rey grabbed the box, open it and grabbed the bottle that was inside. Then he poured the liquid on the open wound.

This time the pain was so strong that Yuki screamed. The thing that Rey poured was an antidote. He was the last person that wanted to see his little demon change into one of those creatures. Especially when he knew what happened to his sister.

- “It hurts, right? Let this be your lesson not to go alone again. I gave an order to everyone you are suspended from missions for now. When I learn who is the one to send you there I personally will punish him. If you went to Sara to bandage you, you weren’t going to be in such a bad shape now. Even if I can’t see you every day I know everything that is happening here. Nothing can pass by me without me noticing.” – His voice became as sharp as a blade. He was angry, very angry. And the little one was the reason. Yuki knew he wasn’t supposed to go out to fight for a couple more days, so his wounds can heal. But he didn’t tell that to his supervisors because he couldn’t stay coped in his room.

- “I’m sorry Rey… it’s my fault. But I can’t stay here. I feel like an animal trapped in a cage.” – Yuki was barely breathing because of the pain in his shoulder.

- “Stubborn to the end. Can you stand?” – Rey’s voice was calm again. The little half demon liked him like that.

In the years spend with him he knew when his lord was furious and cruel. When they were alone or with general Dark he was like that - calm and nice. But in front of the others, he showed no weakness. He was cold and cruel. No one could see behind the wall he had surrounded himself in.

- “I’ll be fine… I just need to get out of here… so I can close the wound completely. There is not enough light here.” – The bleeding almost had stopped thanks to the thing that Rey poured in the wound. But it was not enough to heal it.

- “I’ll come with you there is no way for you to go out on your own. And when I know you can meet that piece of shit well that is even a more of a reason for me to come with you.” – His face frowned.

Yuki got up carefully as he was gripping his wounded shoulder. Rey saw Yuki and threw him a shirt from his wardrobe. Yuki put the shirt slowly and carefully. And then he went to Rey. The little one knew he was right. If Michael was still strolling, he wouldn’t have a chance against him. Rey put his hand on Yuki’s healthy shoulder and teleported them back to the surface.

- “We made it… on time.” – Yuki ran to the edge of the cliff that Rey teleported them to. It was seconds from the 1st sun rays to shine.

This was the only time that Yuki could get the energy he needed. Rey stepped back into the darkness of the woods. He hated the sunlight and even now it was not something that he could stand. Well on the other hand the darkness was his sweet spot.

Because Yuki was half an angel the only time he could absorb the sun rays was when the sun was rising. His survival was the most important thing even with all the risks that he was taking. The humans couldn’t know that both races were here, near them. The only way that both angels and demons, could be recognized were their wings. And both races hid them very well.

- “Yuki, how much time will you need?” – Rey was facing with his back to him. He didn’t even turn to look at the little one. Maybe because they did this so many times, that he trusted him completely.

- “I think half an hour will be enough. I think that there won’t be more time anyway.” – Rey look at him from head to toe. He knew that this energy would not be enough but there was nothing that he could help with. In the first year with Yuki, he had learned about most of his habits. And for a few more things he kept for himself. When he remembered, a smile appeared on his face.

- “Tell me when you're done. I can‘t stand this disgusting weather. I'm going to a darker place.”- Rey threw a medallion over his shoulder and teleported somewhere.

- “Whe... oh I forgot for a moment. Demons hate the light… maybe because I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me at all.” - He remembered the time when he was young, and his face showed the most hurt expression that a lovely creature could show.

He turned quickly to the sunrise rays and spread his wings. He sat down on the hard cliff and closed his eyes. The first rays of sunshine filled him with light. The picture could not be described in words. Although he was half an angel and half a demon, he looked more like his father. His wings were neither the one of a demon nor an angel. The demons have black wings, and the angels white. His were normally gray, but when they were recharging, they were white like the snow. With the sun rays that bathed them in the light, they looked like gold. It was as if a fairy had come and left her magical pollen on them. Wings that every angel dreamed of having. They were something they have to earn, but only few could get them.

-“As I thought, a lovely view. You do not relinquish neither the angels neither the demons, even if you are half of them ... brother ...” - the man turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the darkness.

The sun had already risen, and was now climbing up the horizon.

- “It's time to go ... I should already be able to go home with my own strength. The sun is good at this time of year. But before I get back to the Underground kingdom, it's time to visit them. There should be no problems, my energy is almost refilled. People are already awake so I can’t use my wings. I'll have to find a horse in the village ... I haven’t been “there” for a long time, it's time to go. I want to go at least one more time before the next battle. Rey would surely be very furious. When I get back, I'll have to apologize a lot to him. Here is a neutral territory I hope I will not have problems even if I meet some of the patrols." - Yuki thought.
