This is one of the stories I hadn't finished on my old account that I moved because of various reason's. I hope you enjoy!
Beginning
As a demon I can never quite understand what about the human world makes it so interesting. It's one of the many mysteries never to be answered. Another would be what makes humans such a vicious race. Even demons are frightened of the nastiness homo sapiens harbor as they move through life.
For eons I have watched earth and the humans who move about. Each of their lives is nothing more then a scratch on the earth. Even the ones who draw in the attention of others are fleeting in existence and will eventually be forgotten falling into history as though they never existed. Well, most do. Only the most wretched will be remembered. The mass murderers, they tyrants, the theives.
I never had any interest in the human race. I was a deal maker. A trader per-say. I did my job, It was how I ate.
Devouring the dreams of my partners.
Someone would come to me asking for help and in exchange I'd feast on their dreams and desires until it was time for me to collect their souls for Lord Lucifer.
It should've stayed that way. It shouldn't have been this easy for me to be trapped.
He appeared before me. The monk. Tricked me into making a deal with him only, stupidly, I locked my own chain binding me to do whatever he said. However like all humans, he eventually left. The deal didn't break. I was trapped at his shrine unable to leave. His spell bound me.
Then one day a couple moved in.
A gorgeous woman with long blonde hair and a dark haired man with a face that would've made many humans and demons swoon. I was unlike them.
Being born with rare golden eyes I could see all that was hidden. The man was sick.
Along with the couple came a toddler who looked much like his father. The woman with her round belly would always keep the boy close. Not long after they arrived though, a girl was born and the mother became even more protective of her young son. However the brat managed to wander off one day. That is where this begins.

"These humans intruding upon my home. I'll soon frighten them off. Being disturbed isn't something I enjoy." The wind rustled the trees as a beautiful pale woman sat on a large sakura tree just out front of an old, rickety shrine. Old but large. It took up much of the surrounding lands and the view around was breath taking.
The female in the tree wore a loose black and red kimono, her pink hair fell down past her feet and her eyes cold gold stared unrelentingly outward. Two horns curled from the side of her head around her skull pointing to the world behind her with black tips. Her long legs straightened and she glided down gracefully landing without a sound.
Her bare feet touched the ground and her eyes closed slowly a sad look brushing her face for only an instant before she straightened herself shaking away any emotion she'd felt.
Not feeling the ground, the wind, water. Any element was out of reach for her. She should've become used to that yet an odd human phrase still gripped her.
"Stupid monk. Leaving me bound to this worthless world. It's turning me soft who's to say what foolish reaction I'll have next." She crossed her arms tilting her hip to one side. "Humans are the weakest race for this reason. They feel emotion. Emotions are unneeded."
"Who are you?!"
The demon spun around annoyed searching for who had spoken so rudely to her.
Fluffy midnight hair and azure eyes. A white button up shirt and some dark shorts. From behind the shrine's sign that was stationed in the garden a five year old boy peered at the female.
"You're the child of those humans, are you not?" She tilted her head. "Tell me little one, do you truly see me?"
"Of course I do, you're right there!" The boy snapped back.
The demon narrowed her eyes her long eyelashes tangling. "Humans don't normally see demons. Boy, are you a spiritualist?"
"What's that?" The boy asked back his brows slanted down as he tried to look threatening, that only amused the demon and she walked towards them sliding over the ground.
"Perhaps it's only because you are a child. Most likely in a few years you won't see me. Demons are only seen by those willing to make a deal."
"A deal?" The boy asked.
"Yes, let me make it easier for your little brain to understand." She looked over her shoulder at him. "I use magic to grant people their wishes."
"You grant wishes!" The boy brightened eyes widening.
The demon chuckled. "Yes."
"Then... can you make my daddy better?"
"What will you give me if I do?" She inquired crossing her arms once more.
"What do you want?"
The walked to the boy bending down she grabbed his chin studying him closely. "Your dreams."
"My dreams?"
"For each of the wishes I grant you I'll eat one of your dreams. If you have no dreams for me." She smiled. "I'll just devour your memories."
The boy swallowed. "If I let you eat my wishes, you'll heal my daddy right?"
"For one dream yes." She answered.
"Will you be my friend?"
"Friend?"
"Yeah, my friend."
The demon laughed a melodious tune. "I have no need for friendship, boy."
"Then why are you so sad?" The boy asked.
Looking into his azure eyes the demon frowned her face loosing it's emotion. A blank slate. She released him turning so her side faced him.
"If saying yes will get you off my back. I agree. I'll be your friend. In exchange I get to take you with me when the world decides to spit you out. I get to take you on a trip."
"A trip! Okay."
The demon turned to leave but stopped when something pulled on her sleeve.
"I'm Ikuto, what's your name?" The boy asked.
"Name?"
"Yeah, your my friend so what's your name?"
The demon looked away. "Amulet."
"Can I call you Amu?"
Amulet looked at the boy. "If that is what you wish."
The boy let go of her sleeve and she floated away to complete her end of the bargain.
