This is the longest one shot I've ever done at 15,351 words. The setting (the World of Corruption) belongs to Millie_Astral (Chibi) and she's letting me borrow her versions of the Barain Emperors as well and I thank you for that Chibi. If anyone has any questions about what's going on in the story please leave them in the comments.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Don Thousand asks Dumon, not wanting him to go.

"I'm sure, I promise to keep in touch." Dumon says as he takes the handle of his rolling luggage bag.

He has left most of his belongings in his room and has only taken the essential things like clothes, a few spells books and at least a month's supply of energy crystals.

"Call us if you have any trouble." Embers says.

I will, but I doubt I'll have any trouble." Dumon replies to his brother.

"You're always welcome to come back here." Nash, the leader of the Barain Emperors says.

"Don't worry Nash, I promise to come home and visit." Dumon says to reassure him.

All of the emperors and Don bid Dumon farewell as he leaves Barain World. He moves from one world to the next, looking for the right world to settle down in. Eventually he comes across the World of Corruption which appears to be similar to that of Barain World, the only difference between them is that the World of Corruption has a population of people and the chaos in the atmosphere is a lot heavier then in Barain World. It would be impossible for the emperors to stay in their human forms for more then a few minutes, but unlike the other emperors Dumon and has two brothers Embers and Gothica are demons. The chaos in the atmosphere would be no different then what it is at home for them.

*Dumon's POV*

"My, this world looks a lot like home." I say as I look around at my new environment.

I go around from settlement to settlement, learning along the way. The settlements are known to the locals as kingdoms, each one having their own ruler and set of laws. I decide to settle in the kingdom called Empire, it's people are relatively calm unlike the other kingdoms I've been to. I don't know who is in charge of each kingdom but I don't need to know, I only need to know who's in charge of the Empire Kingdom. I take my Barain form before entering the kingdom, I also wear my gray cloak to keep myself hidden as I don't want to draw attention to myself just yet.

I take my time and look around the kingdom. I see civilians and guards everywhere but that's to be expected, no one gives me so much as a glance which is good. After taking my time looking around I make my way to the large purple crystal palace in the certain of the kingdom. I'll admit it's a beautiful piece of architectural work and whoever built it is a genius, as I'm admiring the beautiful crystal building I get to the palace gates where I'm stopped by a guard.

"State your business." The guard says, his weapon out in full view.

I'm not intimidated and state my intentions, "I just moved here and I'm looking to become a citizen as well as looking for work."

The guard seems satisfied with my answer and turns towards the door, signaling me to follow. I follow him to a thrown room, there's red crystals everywhere. There's also three sets of stairs leading up to the throne that has a small red crystal flower over it.

'Ah the Barain Throne, I remember Nash sitting there with his sister standing beside him shortly after I found them and reminded them of who they once were during the war.' I thought to myself.

"Wait here, the king will be with you shortly." The guard says.

I nod and watch as he leaves, probably to either get who's in charge or go back to his place at the door. I wait patiently for the king but look around from where I am to get acquainted to my surroundings. Mostly everything looks just like home except there's more people, I've always kind of wanted there to be a city in Barain World so there would be something for us to do when we had off from work. My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of three pairs of footsteps, I turn my head to see different versions of me, Nash and Marin walking towards me I then turn my whole body to face them so they know they have my undivided attention.

"Welcome to the Empire Kingdom, I heard you just moved here." Nash says to me.

"Yes and I apologize for taking you away from your work, I'm sure you're very busy." I say politely.

"It's not a problem, I'm Nash by the way." Nash says back to me, "This is my sister Merag and our spellcaster Durbe."

"It's nice to meet you." I extend my hand out to them.

We shake hands as we exchange greetings, but I can barely take my eyes off Nash. His energy smells like cherries and his soul is devoid of malice and selfish desires.

"I'm Dumon, Dumon Seraph." I say as I pull my hood down so they can see my face.

They're a bit surprised at first to see me which is understandable but they treat me like any other person. I'm soon given paperwork to fill out and a place to stay out in the kingdom. Night has fallen by the time I settle into the place I've been given to stay in. I take my time filling out the paperwork, choosing my answers carefully so they don't know that I'm actually a demon. I don't want to scare them and make them think I'm here to take the kingdom away. I return the paperwork to the palace the next day as well as asking about a job, Nash seems a bit nervous about giving me a job at the palace but he takes a chance.

"What can you do?"

"I can do any domestic chores and cook."

"Let's give the palace chores a try."

"Alright." I nod back.

Later that day I move into the palace and I'm introduced to some of the other workers. I'm given a room to stay in and slowly start to unpack, I keep my most important things on me like my energy crystals, spell books and diary. I don't really do much the first day I'm here but the next day I started work. I watched the people around me to learn what I had to do and how to do it. Once I learned what I needed I was off on my own, though Nash checked up on me once every other week or so to see how things were going. I never had any problems with anyone and got along fine with the other servants. I even felt happy for awhile, getting promoted to a higher level position as a servant as I took on every chore given to me. But happiness never lasts as the chains of my depression slowly wrapped around me again, I try ignoring it but all that did was put me back in the cage that I somehow got out of.

Almost everyday after work was done I would hide away in my room, taking out the demon dragger I have hidden away in my bracelet lapis and stabbing myself in the left arm. I would watch as blackish red blood spills out of my arm and onto the floor but the physical pain did little to brake the chains holding me down in the cage. After a few minutes I would clean everything up and wrap my arm acting as if nothing had ever happened, when I had to work I would hide my banged arm with a simple concealment spell so no one would know a thing. They can't question what they can't see, right?

A few months have passed since I started working for Nash, it's a free day so I'm writing in my diary. My thoughts are mostly on Nash, how strong and inspiring he is. How he can fill others with hope and courage when they feel like all hope is lost. I still find it amazing how he's living in a sea of darkness yet he's pure and devoid of malice, I guess he's one of those rear mortals who's light cannot be so easily tainted unlike myself. I've fallen from grace some time ago but I don't regret it, not one bit of it. I see no place for me in the lands of paradise, for I'm destined to suffer alone and in silence.

"What are you writing there?" A fellow servant asks me.

"Oh it's nothing." I say closing my diary.

"Are you sure, you seem upset?"

"I'm fine."

"If you say so."

I go out onto a balcony and look down at all the people below, I can only fantasize about what it would be like to be completely free from the chains of depression but I know that's never going to happen. Though it's a nice thought to think about every once in awhile.

*Nash's POV*

I'm sitting in my office catching up on some paperwork even though I should be relaxing since it's a free day, but work never ends when you're a king. I take a small brake from work and my mind wonders to the whispered rumors I've been hearing about. A lot of them seem to be centered around Dumon, apparently he doesn't talk much to others around him and spends most of his time alone. He always declines to hangout with the other servants even when invited, I feel like he's hiding something but what is beyond me. Maybe I'm wrong and he just isn't very social but I'll admit he's one of my best workers regardless of his lack of social interaction. He does his work swiftly and efficiently, never complains about the tasks he's given and always asks if he can be of use when he gets done whatever task is handed to him. It would be nice if he would open up a little, maybe then he'll make some friends. I eventually get back to my work but soon get bored of it and pack it all up in a folder to work on later. I get up from my chair and go to the living room to relax with the other emperors. There I see everyone together talking, even Vector is there which is a surprise since most of the time he runs off to who knows where.

I greet them as I enter the room and they greet me back, I sit next to my sister and jump into the conversation she's having with the others. Somehow the conversation gets to talking about Dumon.

"I'm sure you guys have heard the rumors about Dumon that are going around." Merag says.

"Not really." Alit says looking a bit confused, "What are people saying about him?"

"He apparently doesn't talk much and refuses to interact with others unless he absolutely has to." Durbe chimes up.

"If you ask me he's hiding something." Mizael says untrusting as usual.

"Why are you guys making such a big deal out of this? Who cares if he talks or not." Vector says uninterested in the conversation.

"Maybe something's bothering him that makes him to uncomfortable to talk." Gilag suggests.

"You have a point there Gilag, maybe something happened that made him move away from home." I pipe up, "I'll see if I can get him to talk."

"And how are you going to do that?" Merag asks.

"Simple, I'll have him work as my personal servant. It will be like a promotion considering he never complains about anything either apparently. I don't see why he won't do this."

"And if he still refuses to talk are you going to beat it out of him?" Vector chimes up with a giggle.

"No I'll just leave him alone about it, there's no need to make him uncomfortable anymore then he may be."

"You ruin all the fun Nash."

I just roll my eyes at Vector's comment and try to think of a way to confront Dumon without making him feel uncomfortable.

*Dumon's POV*

I eventually leave the balcony and go back to my room, opening my diary again. I began to write about my desires that will never be fulfilled.

No matter what I do I'll never get rid of the chains of depression. I've tried medications and spells but they either don't work or don't last long enough to have any real affect on me. I've even tried hurting myself to escape the pain of being empty and alone inside but my senses have become numb to the physical pain I'm suppose to feel, what's even worse then that is I've fallen in love with a mortal. But it's not just any mortal, oh no, it's a person of high standards with energy so pure that it has the sweet sweet scent of cherries. I can only imagine what his energy could taste like, but at the same time I could never bring myself to bring harm upon him. How could anyone want to bring harm upon King Nash? It's an unthinkable thing to do, I would rather starve then lay a hand on him. I can imagine him holding me down, biting my neck softly flooding my body with an unfamiliar euphoric feeling...

I shake my head at what I just wrote, I know I like Nash but something like that happening is impossible. I'm a demon, an unholy creature that supposed to make mortal people's lives miserable and yet, I don't want to make people miserable. I can't bring myself to hurt innocent people especially those that I consider my family. For now I close my diary and put it away in my lapis.

The next day I'm called into Nash's office, I'm a bit worried that I've done something wrong. I knock on the door to get his attention.

"You called for me?" I ask and wait at the door.

"Yes, come in and take a seat." Nash says as he moves some papers around on his desk.

I do as I'm told, "I'm not in trouble am I?"

"Of course not, I've heard about your work ethic and I'm pleased by what I hear. You never complain about the tasks given to you and you get them done in a timely manner."

"I don't like to put things off until the last minute."

"How would you feel about becoming a personal servant?"

"Just tell me your expectations and I'll try to live up to them."

"The job is simple, all I need you to do is get me things when asked."

"I can do that."

"Then you can start as my personal servant tomorrow."

"Sounds like a plan." I say and politely excuse myself to get back to my palace chores.

*Nash's POV*

My plan is working perfectly, Dumon has accepted the job to become my personal servant and he starts tomorrow. I can only hope he isn't as closed off as everyone says he is, but for now it's just a waiting game. I get back to my work, looking over the kingdom's finances and trade deals. I have to get a meeting scheduled sometime this week with the new ruler of the northeast kingdom, I'm hoping to establish trade without fighting. A knock on my door pulls my attention away from my work, I look up to see my sister.

"So how did it go?" She's asks with a bit of excitement in her voice.

"He's accepted the offer to become my servant, now it's just a waiting game. He'll start tomorrow and I'll see if the rumors are really true."

"And if they are?"

Then I'll just have to take things slow, you know I don't really need a servant to get me things all the time. But I also don't like hearing about someone being closed off to practically everyone around them, something is definitely bothering him but what I can't tell."

"Well let's hope he'll be more open with you then he is with the other servants."

"I have a plan so don't worry to much."

She nods and returns to her duties and I get back to work as well.

*Dumon's POV*

'Ugh the day can't go by fast enough.' I think to myself as I do my chores.

"Did you hear, Nash is getting a personal servant." I hear a female voice say not to far away from me.

"Yeah, and I hear he personally asked Dumon. He may be quite but he's definitely a good worker, you know how the young newbies are. They're always trying to prove themselves and try to take on more then they can handle." A male voice replies.

"Yeah but you should see the workload that Dumon has, he's only been here a few months and yet he can take on twice as many things then even the most experienced people here. And to top it all off he never complains about anything."

"Do you think he's a people pleaser?"

"He can't be, he never hangs out or really talks with anyone. I bet Nash doesn't even know that he's been giving his pay away."

"What, he's been giving his pay away? Now you're just making stuff up."

"No it's true, I found a small bag of money in my room with a note saying it was from him. He said he didn't need it, and with that extra money I can help my parents out with getting somethings fixed around the house."

"Well that was nice of him."

I listen to the other servants talk about me and some of them seem worried since I isolate myself, while others are grateful for the extra money I leave in their rooms. I have no use for money seeing as it won't fix me, and I keep myself isolated from everyone else so they won't find out the truth. If they knew that I'm one of the most powerful and dangerous demons in all of the underworld they'll be terrified of me. Plus they might think I'm after the throne, which I'm not. Money and power are just as useless to me as medication and spells. If those things can't fix me, what good will money and power do?

Eventually the day comes to a close and I go to my room, taking my human form which I find much more comfortable then my Barain one. I take my diary out of my lapis turn to a fresh clean page and begin to write about the day's events.

I was called into Nash's office today and offered the job to become his personal servant which I accepted. At first I was worried that I had done something wrong or that someone made a complaint against me but my worries subside when he offered me the job. I don't know wether to be happy or not about this, I mean I do like Nash and I sense no intentions from him that he wants to hurt me but on the other hand I'm a demon with uncontrollable depression. If he finds out about either one of these things there's going to be some kind of problem.

If he finds out that I have depression he might suspect that I've been hurting myself one way or another, and try to get Durbe involved to give me some kind of medication that I know won't work. Sure Durbe is an experienced spellcaster but his magic is not strong enough to affect me since I'm a demon and not a mortal. And if he finds out that I'm a demon I can kiss this job goodbye. Nash won't want a demon working so close with him, and the other emperors might make assumptions that I'm trying to use Nash to take control over the kingdom. I'm sure Nash has heard the rumors about me being so isolated from everyone and is just using this as a means to get closer to me, the only thing I can do is keep my mouth shut or lie when he asks me about my personal life. I don't like lying but I'll make an exception just this once, Nash and the other emperors must remain ignorance of the fact that I'm a demon and that I have depression.

I sigh as I close my diary placing it on the night stand next to the bed, I lay back and just stare up at the ceiling wondering if it really was a good idea to become Nash's personal servant. I eventually fall asleep and get the worst nightmare imaginable. Well, for me it's the worst possible thing I can imagine at the moment. In the nightmare Nash finds out that I'm a demon and feels so used and betrayed, I try to explain to him that I'm not here to harm anyone or take anything away from him but he doesn't listen. He even admits to liking me in the same way I like him then yells at me saying how he trusted me and I did nothing but lie to him. He takes his sword out of it's sheath intending to kill me, I do the only thing I could do and take my third demon form and make a run for it. Crashing out of the closest window to me, spreading my wings out to fly away. But I look back to see Nash right behind me with his sword coming down to cut me. I wake up in a panic covered in sweat, I check my body for any wounds but find none. I then check around the room to see that it's dark but no one other then me is in the room, my red demon eyes allow me to see into the darkness without a problem. Then there comes a knock at the door, I sigh and go into my Barain form. Getting up from the bed I walk over to the door to see who's there. I open the door just enough to see who's there and it's Durbe, great just my luck.

"Do you need something Durbe?" I ask him calmly.

"I sensed a disturbance coming from your room, is everything okay?"

"I'm fine." I say calmly, "It was just a nightmare."

"I can do something about that so it doesn't happen again." Durbe offers.

"No I'm fine, but thanks for the offer." I say

"If this continues to happen let me know."

"Alright." I calmly close the door and dropped back to my human form.

I didn't try to go back to sleep for the rest of the night, instead I took a small bag of energy crystals from of my lapis to eat along with one my sketchbooks. I open to a clean page and begin to draw a scene that would probably horrify even my brothers if they knew I was drawling something like this. The sketch is a series of panels depicting me using a demon dagger and stabbing any part of my body that I could get to, along with a blank emotionless expression on my face. The last few panels are of me laying down on the ground allowing myself to bleed out and die of blood loss, I take a moment to think about actually doing what I drew about in my sketchbook. But Embers would know that something's wrong the minute I started stabbing myself in such a way and come to stop me.

"Why would you care what he thinks?" I hear a voice say softly from behind me, then a hand lays itself on my left shoulder.

I turn my head to my left to see what looks like a purplish black shadow resembling that of Red Familiar, a duel monsters' card.

"Who are you?" I asked it.

"You can call me Shadow Familiar and I'm here to help." The shadow replies, "You don't need to worry about your brother Embers knowing anything, you just need to carry out your plan slowly." My lapis starts to glow and out comes the dagger I use to stab my arm.

I look up at Shadow Familiar as it picks up the dagger by the blade, offering it to me by the handle. I slowly reach for the dagger, taking it into my right hand.

"Now take off your shirt." Shadow Familiar says softly.

I do as I'm told and take my shirt off, my left shoulder is banged up to keep my demon mark covered and away from prying eyes. Shadow Familiar walks around me until it's behind me then hugs me from behind.

"Right here, sink the blade into your side here." It whispers softly into my ear and lays it's left hand over the left side of my body, near my abdomen.

I take a moment and look at the blade before placing it on the left side of my body, the shadow gently takes my hand and presses the blade into my skin creating a slightly deep cut. I can feel my warm blood spilling out of the cut but I just sit there and let the wound bleed for a few moments before going to the bathroom to clean and bandaged it up.

"Tomorrow is going to be a long day." I say to myself with a sigh as I bandage my side up.

Morning comes quickly after I bandage myself, to keep Nash and the others from noticing what I've done I put a concealment spell over the bandages so they don't see a thing. From there I get ready for work and meet Nash at his office when breakfast is done. Work starts off smoothly I'm quite doing what Nash asks of me that is until he starts trying to make conversation with me.

"You're awfully quiet, is something bothering you?" Nash asks as he looks up from the paperwork that's sitting on his desk.

"No I'm fine." I say calmly

"Are you sure? If you're having a problem with anything you can always come to me for help."

"I'm fine but thanks for the offer."

An awkward silence falls over the room but I ignore it and continue getting the things that Nash needs.

*Nash's POV*

Something is definitely wrong, it's just like what Durbe said at breakfast. He refuses to talk to others about anything and I'm sure now that what happened the night before was more then just a simple nightmare, he's hiding something that he doesn't want anyone to know. But what could it be? It is possible that he was sent here to try and kill me and is just pretending to be closed off to get me to lower my guard? Or is someone forcing him to do something and he's just to scared to tell me? To many questions and not enough answers, the not knowing is starting to make me uncomfortable. I continue my work in silence until lunch where I meet up with the other emperors in the dining room, Dumon seems to go back to his room to eat.

"So how's everything going?" Durbe asks me as I take my seat at the head of the table.

"You're right something's definitely wrong, he won't even talk to me even when I ask if something is wrong. He just says that he's fine and acts like I never even said a word to him."

"How much do you want to bet that he's an assassin sent here to kill you. He's just pretending like something's wrong with him to get you to lower your guard." Mizael says.

"That thought did cross my mind but I don't think he's an assassin. He seems to wait to keep others away from him, wanting them to know as little as possible."

"There's got to be a way to get him to talk, maybe ask him about his likes and dislikes." Merag suggests

"Now that's an idea, ask the more general questions. Maybe he's like Mizael and doesn't trust people right away."

Mizael just rolls his eyes at what I said and turns his head away but he knows I'm right. After lunch I go back to my office and there waiting for me is Dumon, he's playing on what looks like a phone that I've seen when I was in the human world. We walk into my office and get back to work, there's a heavy silence between us until I start trying to make small talk. Asking him the more general questions like what he likes to do. Surprisingly I get him to talk, I also share my interests with him and he listens commenting on some new things I could try doing as well as suggesting stories to read.

*3rd Person POV*

Nash and Dumon continue to work together and talk about the more general things in life over the next few months. Eventually Dumon feels comfortable enough to start sharing a few personal bits of information like the fact that he has two twin brothers and sees the other emperors as his adopted siblings as well as where he use to work.

"Does Vector hate me over there?"

"No, the Nash and Vector I use to live with actually get along well and are good friends."

Nash looks at him like he's crazy.

"You've got to be pulling my leg, there's no way Vector can stand being in the same room as me."

"Well things are a lot different at home then here. For starters all us emperors prefer to be in our human forms, there's no real need to take our Barain forms and the chaos isn't as high as it is here. There's also no population in Barain World, it's just us emperors."

"Have you heard of the legends about Don Thousand?"

"I've read through some of the books in the library about him yes."

"He was a vicious and curl ruler, but he was smart and the kingdom he ruled over was extremely wealthily."

"He's very different from my own then."

"What do you mean?"

"My Don Thousand is the reason why me and the rest of the emperors are emperors. We all started off as humans then upon our deaths we were given the Over Hundred Numbers and reincarnated as Barains. Don now a days acts more like a father figure to us emperors, he's also a bit of a workaholic. He works for the royal family back home since Barain World is apart of a much larger empire."

Nash just looks at him with disbelief, while Dumon looks back at him with a somewhat confused look on his face.

"What?" Dumon looks at Nash.

"N-nothing, your history is just different then mine. It surprised me, that's all." Nash replies.

They continue to work and talk, Nash finds Dumon a pleasant person to be around and is considering letting him help make decisions. At least when it comes to trade that is. A few weeks later two female suitors come to try and court Nash, Dumon is by Nash's side in case he needs something but stays off to the sidelines. The girls are princesses from other kingdoms that are trade partners of the Empire Kingdom.

"Being a king can be so stressful, do you ever have the time to relax?" The princess of the Cairo Kingdom asks.

"I have time to relax every once in awhile with the other emperors but I prefer to make sure I have all my work done first." Nash replies.

"And how is Merag? I can't remember the last time I've spoken to her. Is she seeing anyone yet?" The princess of the Karnak Kingdom asks.

"Merag is fine and no she's not seeing anyone. Though when she does find a man I'll make sure he treats her right." Nash says.

'If any man dares to hurt Merag I'll kill them myself before Nash even has a chance to get him.' Dumon thinks to himself.

"You're such an overprotective big brother, Merag's a big girl she doesn't need her brother to help her find a man." The Karnak Princess says.

"True, but I'm sure as hell not going to let some gold digger marry my sister just to get to the throne. Only to toss her aside later as if she doesn't matter." Nash says a bit annoyed.

"What about you Nash, who are you interested in?" The Cairo Princess asks while wrapping her arms around Nash's right arm.

"I'm looking for someone who shares my views and ideals." He replies.

Dumon watches the three of them talk and is jealous of how the princesses are so physical close to Nash. Just seeing the Cairo Princess's arms around him is enough to infuriate Dumon, unlike Nash he can smell the greed and self centered desires these girls have. He knows they don't give two shits about him and are more interested in his throne and money then anything else. But what Dumon doesn't know is that Nash can feel his jealously towards the princesses, but he just assumes that he doesn't like the way the princesses talk and act. The princesses are completely oblivious to the fact that a demon is jealous of them.

"Would you ladies care for some wine?" Nash offers the girls.

"Oh no thank you, I need to cut back a little on drinking." The Cairo Princess says.

"I would love a glass." The Karnak Princess says.

"Dumon would you please bring us some wine." Nash says turning to Dumon.

"Of course sir." Dumon says and gives a slight bow before leaving the room to get the wine.

"My what a wonderful servant you have there Nash." The Karnak Princess say a bit impressed by Dumon's respectful bow.

"He's one of my best workers." Nash says proudly. "He's never complained once about the work given to him."

Dumon goes into the kitchen gets two wine glasses and a bottle of wine then makes his way back to Nash. Once there he pours the wine and serves the glasses to Nash the princess then goes back to his place on the sidelines. Eventually the princesses go for a walk around the palace while Nash tents to a small matter with the army that Alit has called him for. Poor Dumon is stuck being the babysitter for the Karnak Princess.

"I can't believe Nash still lets non royals run this place." The princess whines. "When I become queen I'm kicking them all out, but at least Nash knows how to hire good help."

Dumon is behind her listening to her rant as she walks, glaring daggers at her for the things she's saying. Meanwhile Nash is looking for Dumon having taken care of the matter he was called for.

"I mean how can he not run this place on his own? It's not that hard to run a kingdom with all the money he's sitting on." The girl says as she continues to rant. She didn't realize that Nash heard her comment.

But this was the last straw for Dumon, he couldn't take the disrespectful things this girl was saying about his precious Nash.

"How dare you say such disrespectful things about Nash and the other emperors!" Dumon says with a hiss. "All of the emperors are valued members of this kingdom and the rolls they play are very important. But then again a selfish greedy girl like you wouldn't see the value in team work. You don't give a damn about Nash, you just care about his throne and money. That's why he's a better ruler then you'll ever be."

Nash was surprised to see Dumon so upset but happy to see that he sees him as a good ruler.

"How dare a servant talk to me in such a manner!" The Karnak Princess hisses back angrily and raises her hand to smack Dumon.

"I don't think so." Nash says and grabs the girl by the wrist before she can smack Dumon.

The girl turns to see Nash and is about to say something but Nash doesn't give her a chance to speak.

"I don't appreciate you abusing my stuff nor talking about me and the other emperors in a disrespectful manner. Now get out."

"But-" The girl tries to speak.

"Now." Nash says more forcefully.

The girl huffs and pushes past Nash angrily as she makes her way to the palace gates to leave.

"What a disrespectful witch." Dumon says.

"It's nice to see someone other then myself stand up to a snobby princess." Nash says.

"I meant every word I said Nash, you're a kind and noble ruler and it's a shame that others can't value you're kindness." Dumon replies back.

"It's nice to see that you value me as a good friend Dumon." Nash says giving him a smile.

'I value you so much more then just a friend Nash.' Dumon thinks to himself.

After the incident everything quickly goes back to normal. But one day Nash asks Dumon a question just to see what his response would be.

"Hey Dumon, if you were a ruler how would you rule?" Nash asks him as they're working.

"To be honest Nash I wouldn't want to be a ruler, I'd rather be the person that stands beside the ruler. I wouldn't mind helping to make decisions but I'd rather have someone else at that the reins. I don't really see the value in money other then the fact that it can be used to get food and needed supplies for survival. Family and friends are definitely more important then money."

"I never thought about things that way before." Nash says.

"You're free to have your own views on things, that's what makes people unique." Dumon says.

Later when Nash was trying to sleep he kept thinking about Dumon's words and how he showed such little interest in the throne. He also thought about the day when he stood up to the princess and the jealousy he felt from him.

"Maybe he's the one, he seems to value me more then any amount of power and money." Nash whispers to himself.

Meanwhile in the darkness of the shadows Shadow Familiar wasn't to happy to see Dumon getting along so well with Nash and paying less and less attention to him.

"I think it's time to kick things up a notch." Shadow Familiar says with a smile, and goes to Dumon who's in his room.

Dumon is writing in his diary, though they're not the usual thoughts he has.

I yearn for his sweet touch, to be held against his toned chest. To hear his sweet voice whispering in my ear as he takes me, making me his forever. I can only imagine what it would be like to truly be beside Nash, to have his sweet lisps against my own. To not have him see me as the unholy creature that I am. I crave his touch just like I crave the sweet smell of his energy, oh if only my fantasies would become reality. I can see it now, Nash holding me down against the bed pounding into me as he nips and sucks at my neck. Leaving marks of his love behind, marking me as his and his alone. His hot seed filling me to the brim...

"Do you really think he'll love you when he still doesn't know the truth about what you are?" Shadow Familiar says coming out of the darkness getting Dumon's attention.

"Maybe I don't need to tell him." Dumon replies.

"Don't be stupid, you'll eventually have to show him what you are. And when he finds out he'll see you for the unholy creature that you are."

"But he's a kind and noble king."

"Yeah to mortals. But you're not a mortal, are you? You're just pretending to be one, imagine what he'll feel when he finds out that you're a demon. He'll feel like he's been fooled, tricked, maybe he'll even feel betrayed that you kept something like that a secret from him."

Dumon puts his hand over his heart and thinks about what Shadow Familiar is saying, the seeds of doubt spouting up within him.

'He's right, Nash would never want an unholy creature like me. I'll probably taint whatever makes him so pure, he'll turn into a wicked and evil person because of me. He'll hurt innocent people because I took away what makes him the kind and noble person that he is.' Dumon thinks to himself, fear edged onto his face.

"You better be careful around him or you'll end up tainting him, you don't want innocent people to suffer because of you now would you?" Shadow Familiar whispers into Dumon's ear.

From there Shadow Familiar became more verbally abusive each day to Dumon and even started to become physically abusive towards him. But no one ever noticed the physical abuse that Dumon suffered from because he was told by the shadow to keep it hidden or Nash would become tainted. It was only when Nash started to notice Dumon becoming withdrawn again that he suspected something was wrong. He started to keep a much more watchful eye on him and noticed an odd shadow following him everywhere he went. On brake one afternoon Dumon is out on a balcony looking down at the people below when the shadow appears next to him, Nash was on his was to the dining room when he saw the shadow appear.

"You still love him don't you, you useless fool." The shadow hisses at Dumon. "He'll never love a disgusting unholy creature like you. You're a demon, you don't deserve to be loved by anyone you deserve nothing but endless torment."

Dumon stiffens at being called a disgusting unholy creature but doesn't say a word to defend himself.

"You're better off being alone, you shouldn't even be in Nash's site let alone near him."

"Then I'll pack my bag when everyone's asleep and leave. By morning I'll be long gone so they'll never find me." Dumon says with an emotionless voice.

It pained Nash to hear Dumon's emotionless voice and to see this shadow saying such abusive things to him. He heard enough and went to the dinning room, forming a plan in his mind on the way to stop Dumon from leaving.

'I won't let you leave me Dumon, you're the only person that sees and likes me for who I am. I'll find a way to keep you here and make you mine, one way or another.' Nash thought to himself.

For now Nash goes about his day as if he doesn't know that Dumon is being followed by an abusive shadow, he doesn't want him to know believing if he did that Dumon would leave sooner. Dumon on the other hand put up a mask whenever he was around others to make it seem like he was okay when really he was suffering. He feels like he's suffocating, drowning under the weight of the cage of depression he's trapped in. Day turns to night and Dumon hides away in his room taking his human form like he always did when he was in his room.

"Do I really have to leave?" Dumon asks turning to Shadow Familiar.

"Yes, you don't belong here." It hisses back at him.

"But what if I keep my distance from Nash? He can't become tainted if I keep myself away from him."

"He's already becoming tainted, the darkness just hasn't taken him over yet. But it will, the longer you stay around him the stronger the darkness will grow until he can't hold it back and it consumes him. This is what he will become." Shadow Familiar says as it puts it's hand on Dumon's forehead.

A vision of Nash becoming sick is what Dumon sees, the light that makes Nash a pure and noble ruler is slowly dying. Being replaced by darkness and greed, Nash tries fighting it but it's all for not. The darkness overwhelms him and takes over, transforming him into a wicked and greedy king. One that's willing to hurt anyone even his own sister for power. With that the vision ends leaving Dumon shaking, almost crying. He strongly believes that is will happen to Nash and it will be all his fault.

"There is a way to save him from this." Shadow Familiar whispers.

"How, how can I save him from becoming this wicked greedy king?!" Dumon cries.

"You must leave this place and never return, the darkness within draws power from you to grow. The closer you are to him the more the darkness feeds off you."

"But if I leave, won't Nash try to follow me?"

"You must leave in the dead of night when everyone is asleep, by morning you'll be long gone and he'll have no way to track you down."

"I can't allow Nash to become wicked and greedy, so I'll do as you say." Dumon says with a heavy heart and goes to start packing his belongings.

Dumon takes his time over the course of three days to pack his things, but in that three day time under the cover of darkness Nash was putting his plan into motion. He looked to the black market to try and find anything that could be used to restrain a demon, at first he couldn't find anything but when word got out that a wealthily man was looking for some rear oddities he got a few promising leads.

"Now I don't know if this is strong enough to restrain a demon but it's strong enough to hold back my toughest men." The dealer tells Nash has he leads him to the object in question.

Nash is lead to some kind of floating oval shaped bed, that's a dark brownish gold in color with a few blue oval shaped gems at the top. Right below the blue oval shaped gems laying against the pristine white large pillow that would be used to lay on is a chain with handcuffs attached to it along with another chain with ankle cuffs.

"How can I be so sure that those chains aren't made from cheat metal." Nash asks while looking over the strange floating bed.

"Bring out the chainsaw." The dealer yells to one of his men. "I assure you that these are no ordinary chains."

One of the dealer's men goes and gets the chainsaw then comes back and hands it to the dealer.

"Observe." The dealer says to Nash and turns on the chainsaw.

The same man who got the chainsaw holds up one of the chains for his boss to try and cut through, but when the chainsaw came into contact with the chain the cutting chain brakes as if it was made of glass. This demonstration really impresses Nash but he's still left with a bit of worry that even those chains won't be enough to hold Dumon down, but he doesn't really have much of a choice but to give them a shot.

"How much do you want for this thing?" Nash asks turning his head to glance at the dealer.

"1500 and it's yours, chains and all."

"Deal." Nash says, "I'll be back in an hour with the money."

"I'll be here." The dealer says.

With that Nash returns to his kingdom and gathers the 1500 dollars for the floating bed then returns to the dealer in an hour as promised.

"As promised 1500." Nash says and hands the money over to the dealer who counts it

"It's all there, give him the goods." The dealer says to his right hand man.

The man nods and goes to get the floating bed, he taps a small hidden blue gem on the side to condense the bed into a small light blue orb with a light green dot on the side of it then returns to his bosses side.

"When you're ready to use it tap on the light green dot to open it." The man says as he hands over the orb to Nash.

Nash nods and takes the orb, "Pleasure doing business with you." He says and turns away heading back to his kingdom.

Once back home Nash goes down to the deep dungeons settling in the first cell on the left hand side. In the dark cell he opens up the orb by tapping the light green dot, the orb growls as it opens and the floating bed shapes itself into existence.

"Now the bigger question is how I'm going to get him down here?" Nash says to himself as he sits on the floating bed. "There's got to be a way to subdue him, if he's really a demon like that shadow says then he's physically more powerful then me. I wouldn't last long in a fight nor do I want to get the other emperors involved with this. Maybe this thing has something that can help me."

Nash starts looking around the floating bed for some kind of hidden compartment but can't seem to find anything, that is until he lays his hand on one of the blue gems. The gem absorbs some of Nash's energy then a small screen opens up displaying instructions on where the hidden compartments are
on the bed. In one of the compartments that are shown on the display Nash finds three small bottles of liquid but none of them are labeled so he turns to the screen for answers. There's a red, a green and a purple bottle. According to the screen the red bottle is poison, the green bottle is some kind medicine and the purple bottle is a sedative.

"Perfect, just what I was looking for." Nash says and takes the purple bottle. He yawns and goes up to his room to sleep, he plans on trying to drug Dumon with the sedative tomorrow night.

The next morning comes and everything goes just like it always does, but Dumon is more quiet then usual.

"Everything okay?" Nash asks him.

"Yeah I'm fine Nash, no need to worry." Dumon replies.

'If he thinks that fake mask of happiness will fool me then he's got another thing coming. Demon or not I'm not going to let some shadow abuse the one I love.' Nash thinks to himself.

The day seems to drag by so slowly and Nash is a bit anxious to get Dumon before he has a chance to leave. Lunch time eventually rolls around and Nash goes to the dinning room to eat with the other emperors, doing his best to keep his anxiety down so the others don't question him. They talk about work like usual and about how Dumon put a snobby princess in her place.

"You should of seen how annoyed he was with her, and I can't blame him. She wanted to get rid of you guys just because you aren't royal." Nash says. "He sees the value in working as a team and sees the work that you do as important."

"He is an emperor from a different world so he could always see us like the other emperors he worked with." Merag says.

"He did tell me that he was really close with them, and he's even close to the Barain Deity back home." Nash responds to what his sister says.

The other emperors look at Nash as if he's crazy, even Vector thinks he's crazy.

"Are you sure he didn't just escape?" Durbe says with uncertainty.

"We also have to look at the possibilities that he could be being used by this other Don Thousand." Mizael says.

"I have to disagree, his Don Thousand is the complete opposite of the one we've heard about here. Dumon said that he acts more like a father figure to the emperors and he's the reason that he and the others are even emperors to begin with. He and the others were originally born as humans then upon their deaths were reincarnated as Barains."

"Wait, is he or is he not at Barain?" Gilag says a bit confused.

"He's a Barain, he just started off life as a human." Nash says.

"Did he ever say what he was as a human?" Alit asks a bit excited.

"No he didn't, but I can always ask."

Lunch eventually comes to an end and the emperors go back to their duties. Like usual Dumon is waiting for Nash to let him into the office. Nash let's him in and they take their seats at Nash's desk.

"Hey just out of curiosity what were you when you were human?" Nash asks.

"In my past life I was a knight and I even had a flying pegasus." Dumon replies. "I even have my armor from that time."

"Cool, what did you name it?" Nash asks with a bit of excitement in his voice.

"His name was Mach and he was a very loyal friend, he even died beside me when my fellow knights attacked me.

"Yeah that definitely is loyal." Nash says.

Dumon drops to his human form hiding his demon appearance so he looks completely human. He's wearing his glasses like he normally does long with his normal present day outfit. Then he makes his lapis grow and his fabric clothes disappear being replaced with sliver armor and a white cape along with a sword tucked away in its sheath on his right hip. His glasses also disappear.

"You look just like Durbe when he's in human form." Nash says as his eyes light up a bit. 'Wow, he actually looks kind of hot in that armor.' He thinks to himself.

'It's going to hurt him so much when he finds out I'm gone, but it's for his own safety.' Dumon thinks to himself, "I don't wear my armor anymore since there's no need for it." He makes his lapis glow once again to return his fabrics clothes and glasses then goes back to his Barain form.

"You're just full of surprises aren't you." Nash says with a smile.

"I guess I am." Dumon replies back.

Finally the day turns into night and everyone is settling down to eat dinner, like he always does Dumon eats in his room alone. After dinner everyone relaxes before going to bed, Nash retires to his room a bit earlier then the other emperors to get ready for his plan. About an hour or so later Nash calls Dumon to his room through a screen.

"Huh, what could he possibly want at this hour?" Dumon says with confusion as he reads over the message on the screen. He then sighs and gets up, leaving his packed bag to go see what Nash wants.

Nash waits in his room for Dumon, knowing exactly how he's going to drug him. A few minutes go by and there's a knock at door, he gets up to answer the door and comes face to face with Dumon.

"You called for me Nash?" Dumon whispers softly.

"Yes. Please, come in." Nash says as he steps aside to let Dumon into his room.

Dumon comes into Nash's room and looks around, things are mostly organized but there's a bit of a mess on the desk in the corner of the room.

"Is something troubling you?" Dumon asks as Nash shuts the door.

"You could say that." Nash says a bit anxious, leaving his place by the door and going to the balcony that's attached to his room.

"About what?" Dumon follows Nash out to the balcony.

"You."

"Me? You have nothing to worry about when it comes to me Nash, I'm fine." Dumon says a bit taken aback.

"You sure? You're always so quiet around everyone."

"I'll admit I'm not a very talkative person."

"But you'll tell me if something's wrong won't you?"

"Of course."

"How about a drink before we call it a night?"

"Sure."

Nash leaves the balcony for a moment to get some wine while Dumon waits for him. He pours two glasses of wine and adds the sedative from the purple bottle that he found in the secret compartment of the bed into Dumon's glass then goes back out to the balcony.

"Here, some red whine." Nash offers Dumon the glass of wine.

"Thanks." Dumon takes the glass and drops to his human form.

Nash follows Dumon lead and drops to his human form as well to drink his glass of wine.

"What's it like being a king?" Dumon asks as he takes a sip of his wine.

"It's a bit stressful at times but also rewarding. Though it would be nice to have someone to share life's stresses with."

"You'll find someone eventually, though those suitors aren't a good match for you."

"Yeah, to greedy and selfish."

"Indeed, they're not worth your time." Dumon says a bit amused as he takes another sip from his glass.

Dumon suddenly starts feeling drowsy and disoriented but tries to hide this from Nash not wanting him to worry. Nash glance over at him seeing the tired look in his eyes.

'Perfect the sedative is starting to take affect on him now.' Nash thinks to himself. "Well I hope I find someone soon, I'm not getting any younger here."

"Yeah, well I'm going to turn in for the night." Dumon says as he finishes the last of his wine.

He turns to leave but suddenly feels dizzy and almost falls but grabs ahold of the railing to keep himself up.

"Nash I don't feel so good, you didn't put something in the wine did you?" Dumon struggles to say.

"I'm sorry Dumon, but you gave me no choice." Nash says turing his gaze away from him.

"Nash, why would you-" Dumon says as he passes out, taking on his base demon form as he falls into Nash's arms. The wine glass falls to the ground shattering into pieces.

"I promise when you wake up things will be a lot better." Nash whispers into Dumon's ear and caress his cheek.

With Dumon now unconscious Nash is easily able to move him to the deep dungeons and chain him to the floating bed. Out of curiosity and desire Nash takes Dumon's shirt off to get a look at his body.

"Wow, what a well toned body. Not to thin but not to muscular either." Nash says, caressing Dumon's chest with his right hand. "Ah and such smooth skin."

Nash takes his time looking over Dumon's upper body but his attention is drawn to Dumon's left shoulder which is bandaged up.

"I wonder what happened to you that made you want to become a demon." Nash whispers to no one in particular as he runs his hand over Dumon's bandaged shoulder.

Before leaving Dumon to wake up on his own Nash chains his wrists and ankles to the bed so when he does regain consciousness he can't run off. Then he retires to his room for the night, the next morning Dumon's absence is noticed but Nash doesn't show to much concern over it, right before lunch time Nash takes a trip down to the deep dungeons to see if Dumon has woken up and he has but he's barely conscious. Dumon is still half asleep from the sedative that's still in his system and goes back to sleep. Nash breathes a slight sigh of relief seeing that Dumon isn't having any side affects from the sedative then makes his way to the dinning room to have lunch with the other emperors. After lunch Nash goes back to work, he acts as if this is just another normal day at the office and there isn't a demon being hidden away in the deep dungeons.

Meanwhile Dumon is slowly regaining his senses but he isn't quiet fully conscious yet. Nash checks up on him again about an hour or so after everyone has gone to bed to see him just waking up fully.

"Huh my head, where am I?" Dumon says as he looks at his surroundings.

The chains on his wrists and ankles catch his attention quickly along with his gray white skin.

"Great I'm chained up and I'm in my base demon form." He whispers annoyed, then he realizes he's shirtless. "Please say he didn't take that off." He says worriedly and looks over at his left shoulder, he then breathes a sigh of relief. "Good the bandage is still there."

Dumon tries yanking on the chain that is holding his arms above his head but the chain won't budge, that doesn't stop him from trying to find a way to brake it though.

"Good to see you're finally awake." Nash says as he enters the cell.

Dumon looks over to him, "The only question I have is why. Why would you do this to me Nash?"

"I want to help you and I don't care what you are, I won't let someone I care about get hurt."

"You really think someone's capable of hurting me?" Dumon replies with a smirk, "I'm a demon there's not to many mortals that are even capable of matching my power.

"Then what about that shadow that follows you around?" Nash says crossing his arms over his chest.

Dumon turns his head away from him, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Lair, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I've heard the things it's been saying to you and I don't like it."

"What do you care? For all you know I could of been sent here by someone to kill you."

"If you really wanted to kill me you would of done it the moment you got here, but something's holding you back." Nash says and sits next to Dumon. "You can't kill me, you really want me all to yourself. Don't you." He whispers into his ear.

Dumon tries to pull away from him but can't move far because of the chain holding his arms up. "Sure, keep telling yourself that Nash."

"I'm curious, what are you hiding under this bandage here?" Nash says laying his hand on Dumon's bandaged shoulder.

"If you care for your people's safety, then you won't remove that bandage. If certain people find out about what mark lies hidden beneath that bandage then I'm not the only one in danger. You and your entire kingdom are in harm's way as well."

"So this mark identifies you as what type of demon you are."

"Yes, but what I am is both feared and sought-after in the underworld."

"I see, but that still doesn't answer the question of what you're really hiding. The lack of social interaction and the fake mask of happiness, you're trying to hide something else other then the fact that you're a demon."

"There's nothing else to hide other then that."

"Oh really?" Nash says with an amused smile as he drops to his human form. "I heard that shadow mock you for liking someone." He whispers into Dumon's ear and wraps his arms around his body.

Dumon stiffens in response to Nash's actions but doesn't say anything.

"Tell me, have you ever fantasized about being alone with this person?" Nash's voice takes on more of thirst or craving tone, as if he's amused and has what he so desires right in front of him.

"I don't want anyone in the way that you're implying."

"Is that what you say to yourself, that you don't deserve love and affection?" He trails his left hand down Dumon's bare chest.

Dumon's shivers at this and tries to pull away from him again, "I have people that care for me."

"But don't you want more?" It's easy to pick up on the craving in Nash's voice now, "I'm sure you've craved something other then just social interaction with friends and family." Nash whispers and starts to nip at Dumon's neck.

Dumon jumps at bit at this but doesn't make a sound to show if he's enjoying anything.

"If I'm destined to be alone then it can't be helped."

"Come now, you really can't believe that." Nash says as he sneaks his left hand up Dumon's chest and over to one of his nipples, giving it a gentle pinch.

Dumon's body stiffens and shifts a bit but not a sound comes out of him.

"You'll never brake me if that's what you're trying to do to get me to talk."

"I'd have to disagree with you then."

Nash start nipping at his neck again, each nip causing Dumon to flinch every so slight until Nash reaches that oh so sensitive spot. Dumon clutches the chain that's holding his arms up tightly and bites his lower lip to keep himself quiet as Nash nips at the perfect spot on his neck.

"S-stop!" Dumon manages to say without letting a moan slip from him, his starting to pant a little.

"Then tell me the truth."

"There's nothing to say."

"Fine have it your way then."

Nash moves from Dumon's neck to his chest, sucking on his right nipple and allowing his hands to roam around his upper body. Dumon bite his lip even harder to keep himself quiet and tries to bring out some of his power but can't.

'No no no NO! I can't access any of my power, its somehow being blocked!' Dumon thinks to himself.

He doesn't realize that he's unconsciously telling his body to block his power so he can't fight back. His body craves the attention Nash is giving it and yearning for so much more then what it's already getting. Nash switches over to the left nipple now to give it some attention, still trying to get him to moan.

"S-stop, this isn't like you!" Dumon cries out.

Nash stops what he's doing and looks up at Dumon, "I'll stop if you tell me the truth, but I'm beginning to think that you don't want me to stop do you." He says as he sneaks a hand down to Dumon's pants and gropes his member.

Dumon let's out an involuntary moan from this and shivers uncomfortably, "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because I'm not going to let some shadow take you away from me to abuse you just to satisfy it's own twisted desires. I'm willing to do anything I have to if it means getting through to you."

"You're wasting your time, you can't fix what's broken."

"Broken or not I will find a way to reach the real you. Not the one that shadow is molding you to be." Nash says softly and pins Dumon against the bed.

He sneaks his hand into Dumon's pants and rubs his member through his boxers while nipping at the sedative part of his neck. Dumon still refuses to talk and bites his lower lip again to keep from moaning.

'This feels so good but I have to ignore it, I'm not entitled to have this pleasure.' Dumon thinks to himself, 'If Nash keeps this up eventually he will brake me but-"

Dumon let's anther involuntary moan out as Nash hits all the right places, his red demon eyes are starting to lose their color as they go back to their original sliver gray. His resolve cracking with each passing second that goes by. The chains rattle with noise as he shift trying to deal with the pleasure that's flooding his body.

'Oh yes right there!' Dumon screams in his head, the pleasure starting to overpower his sense of self control.

"This will all be over if you talk." Nash whisper to him.

Dumon looks up at Nash with mostly gray eyes, but there's still a tint of red to them though. "No matter what you do I'll never submit." Dumon says in between pants trying to remind uncooperative.

"You can't resist your cravings forever, I can feel your body begging for more. Why are you trying to deny yourself of what you want?"

"I don't want this!" Dumon cries out.

"Why lie to yourself? You have the person that makes you feel complete, whole, right in front of you. And yet you continue to deny yourself the guilty pleasure you so desire. You so badly crave for." Nash whispers to him, being completely in control. "Stop fighting it and give in to what you want, what you truly desire."

Nash can see that he's starting to get through to him, he just needs to push a little more to brake his resolve and get him right where he wants him.

"I can't, I'm to broken to be repaired and the chains that keep be bound will never rust and brake." Dumon says, uncertainty lacing his voice.

"Then let me be the key to those chains, you don't have to suffer alone anymore." Nash says stealing Dumon's lips in a kiss.

Dumon is surprised at first but quickly melts into the kiss, finally giving into his guilty desires. The chains keeping him restrained brake and disappear, following Nash's desire for Dumon not to be physically restrained anymore. The Shadow Familiar dissolves into the darkness as its host gives into his desires. They brake the kiss to breathe and Dumon wraps his arms around Nash's shoulders.

"Thank you, for setting me free."

"I only had your best interests in mind."

With Dumon not longer denying himself of what he wants things escalate quickly. Nash strips Dumon of his rest of clothes and explores his entire body, finding all the spots that brake Dumon's composure. Dumon moans without restraint turning Nash on even more, causing his lust to tug at his mind to go even farther than what he's already done. Nash strips himself of his clothes showing off his own body and his desire to go farther clear for Dumon to see.

"Do what you want with my body, make me yours and yours alone." Dumon says, his lust already in control of him.

"You're so cute when you're undone like this." Nash says getting Dumon up on his knees. "Ready to take the big plunge?~"

"Yes, you can be as ruff as you want with me so don't hold back."

"If you say so~" Nash says and position himself at Dumon's entrance before pushing his member in.

Dumon stiffens in pain but doesn't whimper as his body adjusts to Nash's size.

"Damn you're tight, I take it this is your first time."

"Yeah, I was never with anyone as a human and the chains of my depression kept me from being with anyone when I became a demon."

"Well I'll make sure to take care of you then~" Nash says as he starts to move.

Dumon feels pain mixed with pleasure as his body hasn't completely adjusted to Nash's size yet but he doesn't care. The pain quickly subsides leaving only pleasure behind, this new found pleasure makes Dumon submissive giving Nash complete physical control over him which he takes full advantage of. Nash nips, bite and sucks on Dumon's neck leaving marks behind making Dumon moan out louder.

"M-more~" He moans out, his red eye color has long since fated away, making him look completely human now.

"Anything for you my love~" Nash hungrily says and moves his position a bit hitting a sedative spot within.

This causes a moan to mix with a scream to come out of Dumon making Nash have the biggest lust filled smile anyone could ever see. He abuses this pleasurable spot over and over again making Dumon scream and beg for more. He's lucky that no one can hear Dumon's screams but him and that no one even pays attention to the deep dungeons since they haven't been used in years. Which is why he choose this place in the palace to get through to Dumon.

"Can you feel it my love, that tight feelings in your stomach?~" Nash asks.

"Yes I can~" Dumon moans back.

"Then let's see what I can do about that~"

Nash picks up his paces making that feeling in their stomaches even tighter until it snaps. They climax at the same time screaming out each other's names, after the high wears off a bit Nash pulls out of Dumon. His hot seed spilling out of him while Dumon collapses onto the bed panting, Nash lays beside him and takes him into his arms. Dumon cuddles into his chest looking half awake.

"Rest, I'll be here when you wake up." Nash whispers kissing him on the forehead.

Dumon closes his eyes and falls asleep against Nash who takes out a blanket from under the bed that was hidden in one of the many secret compartments. He wraps the blanket over himself and Dumon before letting sleep take over him. The next morning the other emperors are in a bit of a panic since they can't find Nash and they haven't seen Dumon since two days ago. They check Nash's room to see if he just overslept but he's not there they check his office and the throne room and he's not there.

"You don't think he and Dumon were kidnapped in the middle of the night do you?" Merag asks Durbe worried.

"No they're around here somewhere." Durbe replies trying to calm the princess's worries.

Nash and Dumon wake up late and sneak out of the deep dungeons and to Nash's room, amazingly not a single guard or servant sees them. They quickly take a shower and get dressed before taking their Barains forms. Since it's past breakfast Nash just goes straight to his office without eating, Dumon follows beside him. They get started on work as if nothing had happened between them the night before.

Merag retraces her steps and goes to check all the normal places her brother could be and finds him and Dumon in his office doing work. Nash stomach growls since he hasn't eaten anything since dinner the night before.

"You know you should eat something." Dumon says hearing the growl. "Would you like me to get you something to snack on until lunch?"

"Sure that would be nice."

"Wait just a minute!" Merag yells at them getting there attention. "Where the hell have you two been, we've been looking everywhere for you?!"

Dumon kind of ducks his head low while Nash looks everywhere but at his sister. All the screaming has gotten the other emperors attention as well as some of the the guards and servants.

"Where were you two?" Durbe asks much more calmly.

Nash doesn't look at him either and Dumon glances over at Nash hoping he doesn't tell them the truth about what they were doing.

"We were out." Is all Nash can say.

"Out where?" Merag questions.

At this neither Nash nor Dumon have an answer to give Merag and Durbe.

"Well, do either one of you have an answer?"

The room is silent until Dumon speaks up.

"It was my fault Merag, Nash was worried that there was something wrong with me. So to ease his worries we went out for a walk to talk things over where I kind of talked him into going to my home world which is where we spent the night." Dumon lies.

Merag sighs, "Next time you want to leave the palace in the middle of the night please leave a note so we don't think you've been kidnapped."

"I'll remember that for next time." Nash says a bit embarrassed that Merag made such a big scene.

With that everyone goes back to their duties and Dumon goes to the kitchen to get Nash something to snack on. The rest of the day goes by normally, a few days later after the event down in the dungeons Dumon asks to talk with Nash privately in Nash's room. Dumon drops to his human form, his red eyes catching Nash's attention. Dumon makes sure the room is sealed off from the shadows so that no one could see or hear in on the conversation.

"What is it that you want to talk about?"

"You know that I love you and would do anything for you right?" Dumon asks as his gently wraps his arms around him in a hug, resting his head on Nash's chest. Listening to his heartbeat.

"Of course." Nash replies not sure where this is going.

"Remember down the in dungeon you asked about my bandaged shoulder?"

"Yes I do. Wait, don't tell me you lied about that."

"No no, I never lied about that. But it's national for a demon to hide their mark, you never know who's going to try and use what they know against you. It's also common for a demon to only show their mark to those they absolutely trust. Nash, I'm both feared and sought-after by other demons in the underworld. I'm what is known as a Shlifta or Shifter, I have the power of all of the underworld at my disposal. Which is why I'm so feared and sought after." Dumon says as he let's go of Nash and takes his shirt off, unwrapping the bandage covering his left shoulder. "I trust you with my life Nash, that is why I want to show you my mark."

Nash looks to Dumon's shoulder to see what looks like a dull colored tattoo. It's made up of two circles with strange dull blue symbols on the outer first circle while a dull purple diamond with a sliver outline that looks like its resting on a dull pinkish red flower on the inside circle.

"So this is what you're demon mark looks like." Nash says and runs his fingertips along Dumon's mark, the mark feels like its been carved into Dumon's skin.

"Yes. The mark that is both a blessing, and a curse. Promise me that you'll never tell anyone about it." Dumon says softly.

"I promise on the name of the Empire Kingdom, that I will not say a word about it." Nash says firmly.

Dumon smiles softly and hugs Nash firmly for just a moment, "Just one last piece of security then." Dumon says and paces his hand on Nash's forehead, placing a spell on him that will make it impossible for him to say a word about his mark should he be interrogated. "This spell will keep you from saying anything should you be interrogated or tortured into talking about my mark."

Nash nods, "I'm glade that you trust me Dumon." He says and hugs him, resting his forehead against his.

"How could I not trust the one person who makes me feel complete?" Dumon asks cuddling into him.

After a few moments they brake the hug and Dumon wraps his shoulder back up and unseals the shadows. Every since the day that Dumon showed Nash his mark they've spent everyday together, weather is was during work or secretly meeting up in Nash's room to cuddle or be more intimate. They keep their relationship secret even from the other emperors until Dumon convinces Nash to tell them, Merag is overjoyed to see that her brother has found someone while the others congratulate them on being together except for Vector. He doesn't care if Nash found someone to be with or not.

The only thing they don't tell the other emperors is that Dumon is a demon, when the relationship is revealed the suitors stop coming to bother Nash but they don't know who Nash's significant other is nor their gender. That curtain comes down when Nash throws a party to celebrate his and Merag's shared birthday, Dumon is right beside Nash to greet the guests. He's in his human form dressed in a white suit and cape, there's a bit of blue on the under side of the cape and a single ring of blue at the bottle of the shirt sleeves. The shirt it buttoned up with gold colored buttons giving him a high status look. He's also wearing white gloves and black knee high boots. After all the guests have arrived Nash introduces Dumon as his significant other knowing that everyone is curious as to who Nash has been with.

Dumon tries to make pleasant conversation with the guests at the party, they curiosity ask how the two of them met and what they've done together. Dumon openly takes about how they met but doesn't say they already did it, feeling that's a little to personal to share. But he does on purposely mention how kind and caring Nash is. Nash says the same about Dumon, and also mentions about his impeccable work ethic. One of the other rulers, the King of the Cairo Kingdom, is infuriated at how well Nash and Dumon get along. And fears that Nash will ask for Dumon's hand in marriage soon making it impossible for anyone else to get to the throne and seize the wealth and power of the kingdom. The King of Cairo sends a secret signal to his spellcaster to get his soldiers into position, Dumon senses this but isn't worried. He's actually a bit excited.

The Cairo King's soldiers move into position getting Nash's army's attention, one of the guards on duty comes and notifies Nash in a discreet manner of the gathering army.

"Keep an eye on them but don't do anything, I have a plan." Nash tells his guard who nods and returns to his post.

The party continues normally until the King of Cairo grabs Merag and holds his sword to her throat.

"You have two choices Nash, brake off the relationship with him and marry my daughter." He gestures to Dumon.

"Or?" Nash says seeming to be interested in the confrontation.

"Or I kill your sister here and burn your kingdom to the ground."

Dumon is standing near by Nash, he was talking to a small group of people before this problem started. He looks to Nash as to see what he wants him to do.

"Now that's something I just can't do, why would I want to marry this greedy selfish girl who I have nothing in common with then marry Dumon who isn't greedy in the least." Nash says.

"Then you've sealed your sister and your kingdom's fate. My army is right outside this kingdom waiting for my signal."

"And I have a secret weapon of my own." Nash says boldly.

"Of really?" The Princess of Cairo says as she comes to stand beside her father.

"Of course he does. And if your army steps one foot in this kingdom, they will meet a very bloody end." Dumon says walking over to stand beside Nash, his normally gray eyes take on a bright and vibrant red color.

"And you think my army is going to be scared by the likes of you?" The Cairo King laughs.

"Maybe not in this form, but in my true form they will be."

The Cairo Princess laughs, "I don't think your Barain form will make much of a difference."

"My Barain form isn't the only form I have, allow me to show you what I really am." Dumon says as his skin takes on a gray white color, black fangs poke out from the corners of his mouth along with a pair of large red and gold wings and two large black horns that poke out from the sides of his head. His clothes change as well to an all red outfit. He also allows his power that's associated with his third demon form to show.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that my significant other is a demon. And not just any demon, a very powerful one." Nash says with pride.

"I'll be nice, if you let Merag go and withdraw your soldiers misfortune won't rear its ugly head for you." Dumon says with a smile showing off his black fangs.

The Cairo King has no choice but to let Merag go and withdraws his troops. He then leaves the palace as to not anger Dumon any farther then he might already be, when the king leaves laughing can be heard from the shadows. Nash gets ready to grab his swords.

"My my, *nīsan is scaring mortals now." The voice giggles.

"You would to if you had to protect a kingdom Embers." Dumon says going back to his human form.

Nash relaxes at bit, knowing that this person must be one of Dumon's brothers. Embers pokes his head out of the shadows and he looks just like Dumon does in his base demon form.

"Well luckily for me I don't." Embers says coming fully out of the shadows, he's dressed in all black.

"What are you doing here?"

"Besides the fact that I'm bored I wanted to see what was going on in your life. You never call or write nor do you ever stop by home now a days."

"A lot has happened since I felt home." Dumon smiles.

"You can tell me all about it later when I drag everyone else here."

Dumon looks over to Nash to see if he's okay with this.

"I'm looking forward to it." Nash says.

"Then I'll see you later nīsan~" Embers says happily and leaves through the shadows.

Because of what just happened the party quickly comes to an end.

"I'm sorry about my brother, he can be a bit of pain sometimes." Dumon apologizes.

"Don't worry about it, I've always wanted to meet your family." Nash says putting an arm around Dumon's shoulders. "But before they come I have an important question to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Come with me."

"Okay?" Dumon says a bit confused.

Nash goes back to his room with Dumon following right behind him, he opens the door to his room and walks in. Dumon follows him in closing the door behind him, Nash goes over to his closet and digs around on the top shelf for something.

"You're not upset with me about the party are you?" Dumon asks with a bit of worry.

"Of course not." Nash says and takes down from the top shelf a long velvet box.

Dumon tilts his head to the side in confusion, having never seen the black box before. Nash turns to him and drops to his human form then gets on one knee.

"Dumon Seraph, will you marry me?" Nash asks as he opens the black velvet box, revealing two beautiful gold bracelets.

Dumon was speechless at first then smiles and gets down to Nash's level, "Of course I'll marry you Nash." He whispers softly.

Nash smiles and they share a kiss. Nash then slips the bracelets onto Dumon's arms. Suddenly there's a knock at the door, they both get up and Nash walks to the door to answer it.

"Dumon's family is here." Merag says a bit excited.

"Have them wait in the living room, we'll be out shortly."

Merag nods and goes to do that.

"Dumon and Nash will be out shortly, if you all would just follow me to the living room to wait for them." Merag says getting everyone's attention.

They all follow her to the living room and meet the other emperors, though Mizael keeps his distance from them.

"Mother is Dumon Emperor 102?" A young girl ask as she tugs on Vector's arm.

"Yes sweetheart he is, like Embers and Gothica he's a good demon." Vector replies to the girl.

Merag sees the child and can't help but try to be friends with her, the child takes to her well and they start talking.

"So just out of curiosity, who's kid this that?" Gailg asks talking about the child Merag is talking to.

"Ours." Nash and Vector say at the same time.

All the other emperors look at them in shock, even Merag.

"Well Dumon did say that things are different where he comes from." Durbe says.

Nash and Dumon take a moment to calm themselves before leaving Nash's room and going to the living room. They hear lots of chatting as they approach the room but no one is fighting or arguing with one another.

"Ready?" Dumon whispers.

"Ready." Nash says giving Dumon's hand a gentle squeeze.

They walk into the room and Nash clears his throat to get everyone's attention.

"I'd like to welcome you all to the Empire Kingdom." Nash says greeting Dumon's family.

"It's a pleasure to be here." A young man says getting to his feet, he looks human but he's not. He's wearing a white long sleeved shirt, with blue jeans and dark brown shoes. He has mismatched eyes of red and blue and two toned hair of red and gold. "Introduce yourselves." The young man says to his emperors.

One by one the emperors introduce themselves in order of their number mins Dumon.

"I'm Nash but you may call me Shark so no one gets confused on who's who." Shark says

"I'm Marin, but you can call me by my nickname of Rio if you like." Marin says with a smile and a wave.

"I'm Vector, but I'm sometimes called Ray." Vector says.

"I'm Alito." Alito says as excited as every.

"I'm Graig." Graig says more laid back then Alito.

"I'm Mizar, the dragon duelist of the group." Mizar says.

The name's Embers, I'm the middle triplet. Embers says.

"And I'm Gothica, the youngest triplet."

"And who's this little lady?" Nash asks seeing a young child hiding behind Shark's cape.

"This is Luna." Shark says.

"Our daughter." Vector adds placing a hand on Shark's shoulder.

"You weren't kidding they really do get along." Nash says to Dumon. "But you never say they were together."

"I didn't want to freak you out, I know Vector doesn't get along with you here." Dumon replies.

"Sounds like the old days doesn't it?" Vector asks Shark.

"Yeah it does."

"And who might you be?" Merag asks the young man with two toned hair.

"That's the big man himself, Don Thousand." Dumon says.

"Indeed, I'm the Barain Deity Don Thousand." Don says and drops his human form, showing his true form.

The Empire Emperors stiffened just a bit at feeling Don's power, even Nash was a little bit worried at first.

"So have you ever reached the title of Father yet or are you still in training?" Dumon asks Don.

"I'm still in training, Eliphas is at lot farther ahead of me actually."

"Workaholic." Shark says, getting the emperors that actually know Don to snicker. Even Dumon laughs at Shark's comment.

"In training for what?" Nash asks curiosity.

"To become a priest." Don says.

All of the Empire Emperors do the classic anime fall in surprise to what Don just said.

"You've got to be pulling my leg." Nash says.

"You're training to become a priest?" Merag asks just to make sure.

"That's correct." Don confirms

"Man you're world is backwards Dumon." Nash says.

"I did say things are different in my world, did I not?" Dumon says with a smile.

"I'm guessing your version of me is this complete opposite." Don says.

"Yeah, he was a brutal king." Gailg says.

"More like a dictator if you ask me." Alit says.

"I have enough headaches with this one running around the castle." Don says gently pushing Embers forward.

Embers giggles in response to being pushed.

"So how has your life been since you left home?" Shark asks Dumon.

"I'll admit it was a bit rocky at first but everything's fine now." Dumon says glancing over at Nash with a smile, "I also have good news, I'm engaged to be married." He says and picks up his arms to show off his gold bracelets.

"Oh look at you nīsan, getting hitched." Embers says excitedly.

"Who's the lucky person?" Gothica asks.

"You're looking right at him." Dumon says happily and puts a hand on Nash's shoulder.

Dumon's family congratulations them on the engagement and helps them prepare for the wedding over the upcoming months. When the wedding day arrives Nash and Dumon are both excited and nervous but when they're surrounded by all their friends and family they relax. When it comes time to say their vows they speak them with love, truth and with every intention to live up to what they promise in their vows to the other. They seal the marriage with a kiss, and Dumon goes on to be Nash's co-ruler helping him run the kingdom.
