how many times do I have to kill him. I'm not sure of his gender, but I've never had luck with boys, so it's a guy. What is with him? Why does he want to attack me so bad and why does he need to hurt my family and friends to get to me?

" What the Gehena is that! " Caster screamed. " A shadow demon that hates me " I said through gritted teeth. Yukio ran through the woods on the other side with an AK47. he started shooting at it and it faced him. a blue light shines from behind us and Rin jumps over us from behind and runs at it.

it turned and hit Rin and Rin flew back 14 yards and destroyed a lot of trees in the process. Yukio kept shooting but it wasn't doing anything. last time those would've done a lot of damage. he is stronger now.

it picked Yukio up by the throat and started choking him. What can I do? I can't sit here and watch him die. this is when I realized. everything that is happening is my fault. if it didn't hate me so much then Yukio and Rin wouldn't be hurt. No one should have to endure this, but me.

Why... why do I have to exist? Why couldn't I just die. if I was dead than, Yukio wouldn't be dying in front of me. Why does life play this cruel game with me. all it does is takes things away because I hate watching the people I love die.

but what can I do? my strength is in a power I can't tame and a thing that would rid me of my freedom. ripping it from me in the moment I feel rage. Caster ran closer to the demon with Grimora, in her book form, in hand. " Caster, what are you doing " I screamed worried. " I think I can kill it " he said with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

he started to say something in Latin but it wasn't doing anything. Yukio said something. " run ...... run while you can " he said straining the words so they can leave his mouth. " we can't leave you here " I said. I know...... there is only one way to save him...... to save everyone.

if giving everything up so everyone can be happy it'll be worth it. " I'm going to transform " I screamed. " that's against school rules " Yukio said and looked at me like I was crazy. " I have to, if my freedom is the cost of everyone's life than I will give it up " I said.

it's the one thing I could do. give it all up. I wouldn't give it up like everyone else. I have a choice. others didn't, other's freedom was sucked way when they lost it, I'm choosing to give mine up to her so that they can live. " you know you can't turn back " Yukio said worried. " I know " I said my voice cracking.

even if after this I die or Yukio kills me, I'll be happy. I'm sorry, I couldn't figure out these feelings for Amaimon and that will always be my one regret. I'm selfish for wanting my life and freedom while she stays trapped in my head. I want freedom, but not for me. all I will ever bring everyone is pain and sorrow, but at least now I can do something that can help them. I can disappear.

" I'm sorry " I whispered. they probably thought I meant them, my siblings and friends but I meant it for Amaimon. all this time he was trying to prevent me from becoming this, but in the end I couldn't even do it myself. I wish when I was in his warmth I could've stayed. I wish our last night wasn't our last. What I regret most is that I couldn't tell him sorry to his face.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. come on,show me my keyta. I saw a bright light and was in my room. in my room was a cage. she was sitting there bored. she looked at me with surprise. " Why are you here " she said shocked. " we don't have time, I need you to take over " I said trying to stay strong.

" you know that after I take over there won't be going back, ever " she said narrowing her eyes at the last word. " I know, but if this is what I have to do to save everyone than I'm willing to give up my freedom " I said. she got up and went to the bars. I walked over to her and looked to her. "'you open the cage and get in while I get out, once you go in you're locked in until the lock breaks " she said. " What do you mean by the locks break " I said.

" there is a cure to this, once it's found then you will be set free and I will return to the cage " she said smiling. " th-there is a cure " I said shocked. Yukio said there wasn't one. " of course there is, no one has found it yet " she said smiling. " just don't hurt them " said as I opened the cell door. I got in and she got out and shut it. " I will not hurt our mate, the others I could care less about " she said.

No. she can't hurt them. I looked up but she was already gone.

Keyta POV :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm finally free, but I never would've thought she would've given herself up. I opened my eyes and felt a tear go down my eye. I know she is crying for him. our mate.

I put my hands together and spread them apart and summoned a spear. I spun it in my hands to get used to the weight and looked at the shadow demon. I threw the spear and it was going so fast the wind seemed to bend around it. nothing wanted to be caught in the way of the blow and the ground tried to hang on when the wind tried to drag it way.

it went straight through the shadow demon and disappeared. it let go of that guy it was holding and the guy fell to the ground. it turned around and aimed for a girl. she looked so scared. damn it!

a guy jumped in front to protect her and took the blow for her. they're mates! I didn't think the mate bond was so strong. wait, she is unmated. What is this? he wouldn't sacrifice himself unless, this is...... this is love!

his blood as well as others here are the same as mine. they must be my siblings. damn it, why couldn't I be an only child. now I have to protect them too. I put my hands together and pulled them apart and summoned my double bladed sythe. I gripped it until my knuckles turned white. that's when I smelled it.

he is here! our mate! he's watching us! I looked around and I saw a shadow in a tree. I got closer and he stretched out his hand and I saw his face. I've never actually seen him. even if he is a demon, he is still beautiful. he's so handsome unlike others. there is something wrong, he's sad. " Amaimon " I whispered. I tried to touched his hand.

he took it back before I could touch it. his face went from sad to a glare. his face changed into a hard one. it hurt me, because I knew the face was aimed at me. " what's wrong? " I whispered. " you ... you took her away from me " he said. even though his face is hard, his voice sounds broken. " No, she gave herself up " I whispered. " get away from me, because of you, I'll never see her again " he said broken.

" I'm sorry, but - " I couldn't finish before he cut me off. " I should've known, no matter how much I tried to help her, you would take her away from me. you're horrible, your kind killed my mother, I hate you " he said and jumped way.

there was a huge pain in my heart. he really cared about her, but not me. ' your kind killed my mother ' I remember he said. that must've been so horrible. he had a bad experience, but he is still my mate.

how could he hate me? well, I'll think about it later. right now I have to finish killing a shadow demon. I spun the double bladed sythe a few times and turned back around. I narrow my eyes in determination.

" Hey, you sad excuse for a intelligent demon, fight me for real. you want to kill me right? Then come at me, I'll kill you, you bastard " I scream. it seemed to slightly materialize. instead of a shadowy blob, it was an outline of a man. it stretched its arm out and more shadows came. the shadows were like bending beams. I smirked and ran at them.

one aimed at my feet and I flipped over it and sliced it on my way to the ground. one aimed for the place I would be landing. clever and fast but not clever and smart enough. I stuck one of the sythe's blades into the ground next to it and it aimed up toward me.

I started to flip to the top of the sythe. it darted close behind. on my way up and when I was far enough up I turned the tip of the blade, splitting it down the middle. the turning of the blade made the tip that the sythe was resting on slip so I grabbed it in the middle and continued on my way down. I continue to run at him and they kept coming.

it happens so fast. I slid under one while cutting it down the middle with one blade. when it dissolved I stuck the bottom blade into the ground and the force pulled me up and flipping me over.

it was use to my advantage because it split the last one. " YOU'RE MINE NOW, BASTARD " I screamed. he dodged my blow and I kept coming at him. I have an idea. I let him back up and then switched.

usually I would be wearing my normal dress armor but I've decided to change into my knife armor. the whole thing was protected and covered by knives. I love it!

I spun my sythe around and came at him. he kept dodging it! he has to be fast, but I will kill him. he jumped back a good 20 feet and bended the shadows again. this time when it materialized, I became worried.

I've seen one before, ......... that's a ......... keyta slaying sword. how did it get one? it looks so new, keyta slaying swords haven't been used in decades. I have to be careful, one blow could kill me!

he gave an evil smile and started swinging. I dodged the first blow and second. I flipped over him and started running.

Amaimon POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I'm going to transform " she screamed. " that's against school rules " Yukio said and looked at her like she was crazy. " I have to, if my freedom is the cost of everyone's life than I will give it up " she said. No, she wouldn't do that, right?

I dawned on me that she would. but why? Why would she be willing to turn into that. They are monsters. human say that we're horrible because we posses them, but when it's born inside you and your freedom is torn from you, they don't say that they are disgusting?

Why would she be willing to become a monster for Yukio? Why him? if he was stronger, she wouldn't have to have her freedom taken from her. big brother thought a weakling like him, could teach her. I should've been the one to teach her.

she- she can't do this. she can't become a monster. there was a ache in my heart and mind. is this ............ guilt? is this because I couldn't save her. What was I thinking. I guess, I knew deep inside that this day would come, but why does my heart hurt so much.

Why couldn't I just ignore her or kill her when I saw her in the woods that day. my heart hurt more thinking if I hurt her. Why did I end up meeting her? if behemoth didn't run off that day, if I didn't visit that town, if I didn't go into that forest, I would have never met her.

if I never met her. I wouldn't be here right now, but I wouldn't be broken on the inside either. I looked back at her, but ...... she is already gone. in her place stood a disgusting creature that took her away. she stole her from me and .........I'll never see her again.

in her place was a girl with red hair and a red dress, with a large double bladed sythe. even though she is a keyta ......... she is beautiful. wait - no. never. she can not be beautiful. she can't be anything but a monster, but yet why can't I help but think that she is beautiful.

out of instinct, I stuck my hand out. she looks so captivated. she walked closer and I leaned in to take a good look at her. she looks a lot like her. the only difference is her hair and ...... her eyes. even though they aren't green like an emerald forest anymore they are gold like the light of an angel.

her eyes...... even if it's not Korosu's they are still captivating. I have to focus! I hardened my face and glared." Amaimon " she whispered. she tried to touched my hand.

I took it back before she could touch it. a keyta, a disgusting creature, can't touch me, not after what her kind did. I don't know but, it hurt me. " what's wrong? " she whispered. " you ... you took her away from me " I said. even if my face was hard I couldn't manage to make my voice sound anything but broken. " No, she gave herself up " she whispered. " get away from me, because of you, I'll never see her again " I said broken.

" I'm sorry, but - " she couldn't finish before I cut her off. " I should've known, no matter I tried to help her, you would take her away from me. you're horrible, your kind killed my mother, I hate you " I said and jumped way.

I couldn't make it far because my heart was hurting again. I stopped and the first thing my mind remembered was the hurt look on her face. my heart hurt more. the farther way I go, the more my heart hurt. my brain kept telling me to do something that I would never.

it kept wanting me to......... apologize. my brain wants me to go back to her and say sorry, but I won't allow it. eventually the pain became unbearable. my heart felt like it was about to rip out of my chest and my body felt like it was splitting apart.

that's when I heard him. ' if you go back, it'll stop hurting ' he said. I closed my eyes and slowed my breathing. I ended up in the room with my locked away feelings. " YOU'RE DOING THIS " I screamed. " nope " he said popping the 'p'.

" THAN WHO THE HELL IS IT" I screamed. " it's your fault " he said smirking. " WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT " I continued to scream. " I told you, you were going to lose her and now look what you did. you told her you hated her and now you're heart broken " he said. " you have to apologize or every moment you spend away from her, it'll hurt more " he said sighing.

" I'm a demon king, I don't apologize to anyone and especially not Keytas " I said. " well if you would stop being an ass, than maybe you would realize that even she feels something for you " he snapped. " What do you mean " I said.

" you saw it, even if she is a Keyta, even she felt something for you. Keytas can't have the memories of their human but can hear the outside world and feel like we can, she heard your words and even though she has never seen you she still felt something similar to her human. she still exist, but she is trapped. you told her you would protect her so don't let her down " he said smiling.

even if I hate to admit it, he is right. I told her I would protect her. he was right about something else. she seemed so mesmerized by me but why? my guard was down for a good 5 seconds and she already had a weapon in hand, yet she didn't kill me. I'm her worst enemy, why wouldn't she kill me?

I snapped back to reality and I was on the top of a tree. I turned my heal and started to jump back. she will answer all my questions and I will get Korosu back, I don't care how long it takes. I will free her and make her smile one day, I promise.

I made it back and the pain in my heart decreased but still remained. I stood there in the same tree and watched her fight. she was fast and clever.

could this be the demon that was after her? he looks awfully familiar. it's a shadow demon, so it must be one of my other brother's minions. the one that hates Keytas with a passion. I grew up with almost all my brothers and he was the one that was there when big brother Mephisto wasn't.

I haven't seen him since I left for Assiah, but what are one of his minions doing here and why are they after her? she changed into knife armor. I haven't seen knife armor in ages and only little times after that.

only offspring of powerful angels can have it. Who is Korosu's mom? we've visited her grave but I've never seen her name. I guess I'll never know now that she is gone forever. the minion stopped and materialized one of his shadows.

it turned into a sword. THAT'S A KEYTA SLAYING SWORD!!! how did he get one? the last ones are trapped in the Vatican.

it looks new, but they stopped being made decades ago. he started swinging and I felt the surge to go and help her but I told her I would stay out of sight. Yukio is over there unconscious and could wake up at any moment.

she dodged it and jumped way. I followed her toward the farther end of the clearing. she past a few trees into a smaller clearing. I stood behind and watched from the tree.

Keyta POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I managed to jump away and I have a feeling something is watching me. I sniff the air and got confused. he's back. is he here to apologize or probably watch me die. I felt the separate presence coming closer and the wind moving in separate directions meaning he is coming down at me with the sword.

I'm gonna wait until he is close enough so I can move. 3...2...1. I leaped away and heard the branch break for the sword's blow. I have to stop running and kill this bastard.

I skid to a stop and turned around. I took of my knife armor because I could slow me down. I went back to my normal armor and summoned my demon slaying sword. I called it Yami kiringu which also translates to killing darkness in English.

it is a sword with a large blade and a long handle( insert 'that's what she said' joke here ). the handle contains the bones of a dragon and the handle grip is made of its hand. the blade gives me the power of the Dragon that it's bones are made of.

the sword is made of the bones of a dark Dragon hence the name. it was given to me because of the angel I reflect. she is powerful and killed demons for a living, hence the name darkness is used as both to symbolize the power of the Dragon and demons.

she was a guardian Angel and needed a powerful weapon and now the weapon belongs to me. this sword is more powerful then Rin's demon sword. I swing back and our swords clash.

we fought and struggled to push or break each other's swords. I pushed him back. he slid a few feet and he got right back up and charged again. every time our swords collide it left black electricity. the electricity faded and turned to dust and that dust faded as well.

I cut his leg and he went down on his knee. I pulled his shadow-like head up with Yami kiringu and looked him in his shadow eyes." you will never kill me and you will never touch my family again " I said.

I was about to slit his throat but he cut my shoulder. I felt the blade break my skin and burn my blood. Keyta slaying swords are made of normal iron but are soaked in demon blood and spell bound to the sword. the demon blood stings because of my Angel blood.

it hurts less than normal because my Angel was a guardian angel and has slight demon repelling agents in its blood. Keyta slaying swords were also hard to make because demon blood was hard to get. exorcist would have to wound a demon then find a way to keep it still to obtain its blood.

if they managed to do that they would have to get a strong priest to spell the demon blood to the sword. for demons on the other hand, didn't have as many problems. they used their own blood and would probably get a powerful demon to spell bound it.

he noticed my pain and dug the sword deeper into my shoulder. it started to burn worst and I unsummoned Yami kiringu and held my shoulder. the thing about Keyta swords is that it enables Keytas to use their bleeding stopping power, so we bleed out.

I feel the blood trickling down my arm. I felt the sword pull out and wondered. Why did he pull it out? ( insert second ' that's what she said ' joke here ) I looked up to see the was being held down by thorns. this is his doing!! our mate is protecting us!!

the shadow demon used the sword and cut the vines. sadly my Keyta abilities only allow me to summon armor and weapons, so I can't heal my arm. he already started healing. he got back up and started swinging again.

the walked up to me and was going to strike my head but I blocked it with my sword. I let go of my arm knowing there isn't anything I can do. Keytas don't feel pain, unless struck by a Keyta sword, meaning It only hurt when he stabbed me. it doesn't hurt now.

I was only holding it to try to stop the bleeding which I now find useless. I blocked his second blow and I managed to cut his stomach a little. he kept advancing and I kept dodging.

he kicked me down and when I tried to get up he held the sword at my neck. I was trapped. if he sliced my neck then I would die automatically but if-. I know what I have to do. this will be the last blow if this fight an it could go either way. if I do this there is only two outcomes. I die or he dies.

one wrong move could end in my death. I looked the shadow demon in the eyes and let out one tear. this will be the last word before either my end or his. this word is meant for not just him but for me because even if I do succeed then I would die. either way......... I lose." good bye " I whispered.

Amaimon POV :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this is it. she will die before me and it will be done by a sad excuse of a demon. everything went in slow motion. my demon hearing was able to pick up on her last words. " good bye " she whispers.

she grabs the sword which would end up burning her hands. she got up and the demon moves toward her. it stabs her in the stomach. the sword went right through her stomach and all she does is flinch. she hugs him!! she puts her hands together and a bright light illuminates the sky. she pulls out Yami kiringu.

she holds the sword in both her hands and said one last word in his ear. " I win." then she stabs him through the back and he disappears. she...... she killed it.

THAT BAKA!! Why did she stab herself? Why couldn't she find another way? now I realize what she will become. now that she has killed a demon -. I was cut off by her armor. it turned black and her eyes were no longer yellow but black and red. she is no longer the girl I knew .........now she is a monster.

I summoned vines and tied her to the ground. I summoned a tree and used more vines to keep her down. I can't do anything. all I can do is keep her there. I have to find a way to get Korosu back! all I can do know is to keep the girl I used to know tied up until I can find a cure.

I don't care how long it takes, I will see her again. as I was about to get near her, I felt a nearing presence. I hid because I told her I wouldn't be seen. little brother, Rin, came out of the woods and was brutally damaged.

I want to fight him now but Korosu is more important. I stood being a tree watching. he got closer to the rampaging monster that held Korosu in its grasp. she kept thrashing but the vines wouldn't let her cut them. little brother walked up to her face and held it still.

he leaned in but she got out of his grip and turned her head. he kissed her cheek and collapsed. HOW DARE HE TOUCH HER!! I WILL KILL HIM!! NO ONE CAN TOUCH HER BUT ME!! NO ONE WILL EVER KISS HER BUT -. I stopped myself from finishing that sentence and started blushing.

her breathing slowed and a light started to emulate off her. it was so bright that it hurt my eyes and made the night look like day for a second. the light dimmed and I say the light burn away the vines and tree. it looked like it was dissolving into ashes and the ashes disappear in mid air. the light dimmed and I saw her.

she was falling to the ground and I ran at her and screamed " NO."

Korosuakuma POV :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was worried. I was worried for my family and friends, but I was worried mostly for Amaimon.

I sat there for a good 10 minutes before I felt a sting in my shoulder. the sting became unbearable and I started screaming. I felt the blood trickle down my arm. the blood didn't stop and didn't heal. I thought Keytas were able to not bleed. a few minutes later a force made me fly across the cage.

my back hit the cage and I doubled over by the force. it left a dent in the bars and I sat there with tears in my eyes. it hurt too bad. the pain is unbearable and I feel myself getting dizzy. Why won't this pain stop?

I feel something cold at my neck and knew what it was. a sword is at my throat and I'm going to die. we stayed like that for a good 5 seconds before my hands started to burn.

I was going to scream but was cut off by a way larger pain. I frozen in pain and fear. I looked down and there was a large hole where a sword was driven through my body. it went right through my stomach and my blood Kane out in what looked like gallons.

it was like I was in suspend animation and the pain suddenly racked through my body. it caused me to scream out in pain again. the scream hurt my throat and as soon as the pain appeared it left. I opened my eyes and I was in a black empty void.

there was only one way. it was a bright light and I was attracted to it. the void got smaller and I felt myself get closer to the light, then I heard something.

" NO " someone screamed and I knew who's voice it was. it was him. my mate and the person I hoped would stay safe. the void around me disappears and it burned way like ashes. I opened my eyes and my head was in Amaimon's lap. he looked at the verge of tears and I stared in shock.

didn't think I would ever see his smiling face ever again. pain came back and I realized that all that pain wasn't a dream or illusion. it is real and it was happening to me.

he put his forehead in mine and smiled. " I thought I would never see you again. I didn't want to believe you were gone and I will make you smile, I promise. I don't know what I feel but once I know I want you to be there please don't leave me " he whispered.

the dizziness came back and I was slipping in and out of consciousness. " No, please don't leave me " he said broken. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't. I lost too much blood and I knew. this is the end. there would be nothing after this. I would never see him smile again and never see him be so close to me ever again. I try to fight the void but I couldn't. my eyes finally close.
