chapter 17: mates
A/N : Sorry for the late update. I've been procrastinating. I had a dance 2 days ago and I couldn't write but I had a good time.
______________________________________________________
I scream my only thought at the time. " WHAT " I screamed. if you heard me I seem a bit angry.
Yukio put his head in his hands and he looks worried, scared, and sad. " I'm so sorry Korosuakuma" he said in an apologetic voice. What confuses me the most is that he seems sad.
I said “ why are you sorry? " he looks at me and runs his hands through his hair. " well, before we met you, Rin was still learning to control his flames and Amaimon the demon king of earth took Shiemi and made a demon possess her, Rin didn't fully kill the demon king but he should be in Gehena" Yukio said in a more relaxed tone." I'm sorry you have to be his mate, but you'll probably never meet him so you got lucky there" he said in a happier tone.
As he said that Rin came back. he ran in and gave me a hug, it felt kinda awkward so I hesitantly hug back. " I'm so sorry." he said in a sad voice. " he is a heartless monster and you shouldn't have to put up with him, even less be stuck with him." he sounds so heartbroken and concerned.
I looked over at Kasai. she looks so sad, I bet she wishes she was in my position. at least I know who my mate is, her mate could be either Rin or Yukio. I know she likes Rin, but what if she is meant to be with Yukio. how am I gonna get out of this bear hug?
As if it was on cue, I got a text message. I took out my phone. yes, I have a phone but I never really use it. I look at my phone and read the message.
<[ don't you have homework ]
I looked at the number and it was an unknown number. " who was that " Yukio asks. " Oh, just a friend reminding me that we have homework " I said. " yeah, they are right, we have to go " Kasai said. she pries Rin of me and drags me out of the room.
{ time skip brought to you by Amaimon is so dead }
I got home and ran up the stairs not giving Kasai a chance to ask questions. at the moment I'm slightly mad. how can Amaimon posses someone as innocent as Shiemi?
I open the door of my room to find Amaimon reading with his phone next to him on my bed. I walk in trying my best to stay only slightly mad. " Why " is all I said.
Amaimon looks up at me with the dull expression he always wears. " Why what " he said without any expression what so ever. " Why did you posses Shiemi and try to kill her " I said anger bubbling within me as he doesn't seem to give a f*ck. " I was bored at the time and wanted to fight Rin " he said.
him not showing any expression of sadness or regret, not that it ever seemed to bother me before, but at the moment it seems to be ticking me off.
" YOUR TELLING ME THAT YOU ALMOST KILLED HER BECAUSE YOU WERE BORED " I scream. my anger is out of control and it seems to be effecting me. I can feel my teeth growing out, as well as my hair. " your eyes are turning gold " Amaimon said his face showing nothing but there was something in his eyes. it looks like fear and concern. "ARE PEOPLE'S LIVES A GAME TO YOU, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! MAYBE RIN WAS RIGHT, YOU ARE A MONSTER!!! " I screamed at the top of my lungs. I can feel her taking over.
she talked to me. she kept telling me " he is a monster, get out all that anger. don't worry I'll take good care of you." I start to feel dizzy obviously falling unconscious. my legs gave out and Amaimon jumped off the bed and caught me on the way down. there was something, something I've never seen before and never thought I would ever see. he looked worried. not just in his eyes, like I catch sometimes, but showing it on his face.
his eyes were glassy, showing that he is on the verge of tears. he spoke to me " calm down please " I could tell he was trying not to cry. " if you get any angrier she will take over" he told me.
he dropped to the floor and put my head in his lap. he stroked my cheek and kept saying "calm down " and " its gonna be okay."
I thought his nails would've scratched my cheek but it felt nice. every time he put his hand on my cheek I felt little sparks here and there. it was was a good kind of spark. it felt like hours when it had only been a few minutes.
and in that time, I didn't want it to end. I closed my eyes taking this moment in and when I opened them. the moonlight that was coming from my balcony door illuminated Amaimon's face and I get my teeth go back to normal as well as my hair length. before it was gone the voice said " I'll be here when you need me most." it didn't sound evil it sounded like an offer.
as I went back to normal. the moonlight illuminating Amaimon's face helped me see that he was smiling. his smile was so genuine unlike the ones he usually gave. it was full of happiness. something I have a hard time feeling.
I never wanted this moment to end. it made me realize that it doesn't matter what he did back then, what matters is what he does now. without him. without him my life would be different. if I didn't have him. I wouldn't be the person I am right now.
he changed in my life. the day that everything always falls apart, is the day I met him. if Amethyst didn't stop being my friend, if I went to school, if I didn't go into the woods, if I didn't notice that oak tree, if I didn't decide to build a tree house, if I ran from behemoth. I would have never met him.
if I did anything different that day, he wouldn't be sitting here with me and wouldn't be calming me down. he is amazing, I wish he knew. instead if leaving me here to deal with my rage, he helped me calm down and showed me how he truly felt for the first time. he is funny, amazing, cute ( A/N : and everyone knows it ), and he cares about me like no one else.
thinking about life without him was unbearable. in a way he saved me. saved me from the misery and the pain. my life is a curse and he saves me from all of that.
I felt sparks coming from my forehead. I snap out of my thoughts and realize me and Amaimon are touching foreheads. I heard him take a deep breath. I closed my eyes and listened to his steady breathing and my heart beat.
he removed his forehead from mine and picked me up bridal style. I didn't complain, but I was still curious where we were going. I heard a door open and we entered his room.
he shut the door and as he was setting me down on what I assume was his bed he tripped and our faces were centimeters apart. we both blushed like crazy. his eyes traveled from my stare to my lips. he bit his bottom lip. which made him look kinda sexy.
" Sorry " he said as he got off me. ( A/N : Sorry readers no kissing scene this time =P ) he sat on the edge of the bed and I sat against the head board. " I know I'm a monster " he said out of nowhere. I sighed. " I'm sorry, your not a monster, I was just mad" I said hoping he will understand. " thank you for helping me control my anger " I said to hopefully make him feel better.
I was happy he was showing emotion towards me. " Hey Amaimon " I said. " yeah " was all he said back." Why are you showing emotion, your usually covering it up " I asked curiously.
" your different, there is something about you that makes me feel different " he stated kinda happy.
" have you ever felt that way before " I said hoping to know more. " no " he said while shaking his head.
" Why did you bring me to your room " I said while looking around at his room that reminded me of mine.
" I thought that when we were done talking that I could go to sleep " he said.
" Oh, sorry, you must be tired " I said getting up. on my why out he grabbed my wrist.
" it's okay, you can stay if you want, I can sleep on the floor" he said. " but it's your bed that wouldn't be fair" I said. " but I want you to be comfortable" he said in a happy tone.
" we can sleep in the same bed, not like we haven't done it before " I mumbled while blushing. " your right " he said. wait, he heard that!
" I'm going to change " I said as I left the room. I grabbed my pajamas and changed in my room knowing Amaimon was in his. I got back and Amaimon was in his bathroom. I just got in his bed and curled up trying to stay warm.
I heard the door of the bathroom open and the light I l illuminated the room for only mere seconds before it was turned off. I heard footsteps and a dent in the bed. telling me that Amaimon was in bed as well.
I moved to the other side of the bed, so I was facing the wall. I'm freezing at the edge of the bed. I feel strong arms grab me and drag me to the other end of the bed. with the demon experiences, I can only hope it was Amaimon and not that shadow demon.
when I reached the other end of the bed, I was greeted with a warm wall. how can a wall be so warm? I turned to face ' the wall ' and was greeted with Amaimon's bear chest.
dang, his abs are amazing. wait, no, snap out of it. " um Amaimon…… " I trailed off still hoping for answer.
" you looked cold, and I'm dying of heat, so I decided to share my body heat with you " he said sleepy. " t-thank you " I stuttered.
" turn around, so I can hold you better " he said. " Okay " was all I said as I turned around. when I was all the way around he held me closer to his body.
now instead of freezing on the other side of the bed, I'm here engulfed in Amaimon's warm, inviting heat, which is making me sleepy. this is the warmth I want to exist in.
I closed my eyes inviting the void. knowing what would come next, I entered the white room. I was greeted by my siblings and mother.
~~ { dream start }~~ ( I decided that I would use this style of writing in her dream state )
Caster : Korosuakuma, I heard Yukio say this thing called a keyta
Korosuakuma : mom would you care to tell him
Enjeru : no, no, it's your species, not mine. that wouldn't be fair
Korosuakuma : Keytas are the daughters and sons of angels that were born human. they are cursed with pain and misery and it causes a separate personality and they only come out when your mad enough. you can't feel pain and if you kill anything you were after then you go into a rampage. after the first transformation, which the only why at get out of it is to go unconscious due to blood loss, the next transformation is permanent. there is no cure to going back. you must be killed.
Caster : have you already been through your first transformation
Korosuakuma : yeah
Grimora : what made you mad
Korosuakuma : well the day before I was dragged into an alley by a shadow demon and Rin and Yukio killed it. the next day the demon came to school and the exorcist were fighting it off while I was watching and they knocked out most of the exorcist except Rin and Yukio and it was hurting Rin. Rin was one of my only friends at the time and it made me so mad because everyone I love dies. then I blacked out and when I woke up I had bandages and Yukio showed me a picture of a girl that looked nothing like me. and he told me that was me and I was a Keyta and I have to control my anger or I could kill everyone and he will have to kill me if he has to.
Kasai : well you sounded mad, did you transform upstairs
Korosuakuma : no, he calmed me down
Kasai : hey, did anyone ever notice that Korosuakuma is always wearing black
Grimora : yeah, why do you always wear black
Korosuakuma : I've been wearing black since the year mom died
Caster : why ( A/N : I know the fans have been wondering )
Korosuakuma : I guess it was a way to morn mom's death
Kasai : well, she is right in front of us, so don't you think you should start wearing color
Korosuakuma : mom, what do you think
Enjeru : I think you should, enjoy life and stop mourning my death. everyone eventually dies and they don't have time to make their life miserable, but they do have the power to enjoy every minute of it
Korosuakuma : fine, I'll start wearing color, but only if I like it.
Grimora : yay
Caster : your disappearing again
I loom down and he was right I was disappearing again. Why dies this happen.
~~ { dream end }~~
I woke up to a bright light. my wrist were on fire like they usually are, but they weren't hurting me. I didn't feel the burning, like I usually do.
" I know your wondering why they aren't burning " Amaimon said. I turned to face him ( and his abs ). " open your eyes " I said.
he opened them and as usual he was asleep. his eyes were always so gold when he is asleep. the fire burned out and disappeared. " yeah, why isn't it burning " I asked. " it's because I'm holding you " he said smirking.
" I assume you already knew we were mates " I said. " Yes, your right I did know " he said still smirking.
" Okay, can you explain the whole mate thing, don't live anything out " I said while sitting up and crossing my legs. " Okay, just remember you asked for everything " he said. " you can ask questions if you want " he said while his smirk turned into a smile. a genuine one.
" well, why doesn't the fire burn me, when your holding me " I said simply. " mates have the power to slightly numb certain pain " he said.
" Okay, what are the sparks I get when you touch me " I said. " that is what signals you are mates" he said.
What are the other things that signal that your my mate " I said. " your blood smells amazing, you smell amazing, and even he feels the sparks. " he said smiling.
"you seem to be happy that you have a mate" I told him. Why is he so happy, I'm a keyta? aren't we supposed to hate each other? " of course I am, even if your a Keyta. that just makes you even more special. No doubt our kids will be powerful " he said overjoyed. " hold it did you say our kids " I said shocked. " of course, it's only a matter of time until you finish the mating process and carry my child " he said smiling.
" hold on, hold on, what is the mating process " I said confused. " the mating process is when I mark you, which isn't necessary because of your birth mark, then I'll make you scream my name ( A/N : if you get what I mean ;) ), then every demon will know your mine " said smiling. I realized what he meant and blushed like crazy.
" you could have anyone you want, why me, I'm not special, I'm not beautiful, smart, remotely smexy in anyway and I'm the last of my species that your dad killed off, ages ago" I said defeated and putting my head down.
I heard the bed shift and Amaimon put his middle finger and pointer finger under my chin and lifted it up so I can face him. he looked me in the eyes.
" you are all of those things, and I know I can have anyone I want, but what if the only one I want is you " he said. looking into his eyes I saw that he spoke the truth. his eyes swirled with honesty, and desperation.
" Why do you sound so desperate " I said concerned and confused. " I'm desperate to let you see, how much you mean to me, how beautiful you are, and trying to show you that out of everyone in the world, Assiah and Gehena, there will only ever be you on my mind " he said.
his eyes held something else, something I couldn't explain. something I haven't seen in a long time , and it seems so familiar, I just can't recognize it.
" even if he doesn't realize it now, he will when it matters most " he told me. " What does that mean " I said confused. he let go of my chin and picked me up bridal style and put me back under the covers. he held me close and and whispered in my ear.
" I could've kissed you, but that's okay, I know your not ready yet " he said. " thank you " was all I said before drifting off into the darkness.
