Hey! I know that paring is rather odd but I think they would be great together. Okay, first chapter is about how they started bonding when Reiji was little. Then will be about how Reiji killed Beatrix and then all is focused on Reiji and Cordelia's relationship that is set in the episode 11 when she kissed him. I hope you'll enjoy!

Cordelia Sakamaki was looking through the window at Sakamaki manor. The Demon's king daughter was carefully studying her rival in her husband's love - Beatrix. Beatrix was sitting in the garden and knitting. 'How lame.' Cordelia thought. Suddenly her son Shu came, a little puppy in his hands. 'This should be interesting' He seemed unusually happy and he was smiling. He approached to his mother and showed her the puppy. Beatrix told him something and then butler forcefully took puppy away from Shu. Cordelia thought that she saw a little tears forming in Shu's eyes. Then Shu ran away and Beatrix sat back down beside her other son - Reiji, who was reading a book. Few moments later, Reiji raised his head up and told something to Beatrix. And she seemed like couldn't care less. She didn't respond him, she didn't even look at him. "Hhhmmm... Reiji... Reiji... Reiji... I can have a use of you." Cordelia smiled. It was obvious to everyone that the only thing Reiji wanted was attention. She was sure that if she didn't give almost all her attention to Ayato, he would end up worse than Reiji.

Cordelia thought to herself that it would be very funny if Reiji would come with her by his will right in front of his mother's nose.

She lowered down to the garden and started walking towards the pavilion where Beatrix and Reiji were. And she already came up with the perfect plan. When she came, Beatrix looked at her, but her face was rather emotionless, only by her eyes Cordelia could tell how much Beatrix was displeased to see her. "Hello Beatrix." Cordelia greeted her with a smile that was obviously fake to her but looked real to Reiji. Beatrix knew how much Cordelia wanted to torture and kill her, but that would just get her to Karlheinz'es bad will. And Beatrix knew that was the last thing Cordelia wanted. "Hello, Cordelia." She said quietly without looking at her.

Cordelia smiled and quickly sat beside Reiji. "Hello there, little boy. What's your name?" She asked although she already knew his name, but this was the first time he saw her and he didn't know about her.

Reiji looked surprised that the woman he just met wanted to know his name. "Hello Mrs. Cordelia. I'm Reiji." Cordelia was the only woman except Beatrix that Reiji has ever met. She looked so different from his mother.

"What book are you reading?" Cordelia asked and looked at the book in Reiji's hands. The book Reiji wanted to show his mother who didn't even look at it.

"Hamlet. That's book created by mortals." Reiji said, honestly shocked that someone finally gave him a bit of attention.

"Oh, I read that book." Cordelia said, and for the truth, she actually did read it. That was some of Karlheinz'es gifts to her. And all things from her husband were precious.

"Did you like it?" Reiji asked with the voice full of hope to start conversation.

"Of course I did." Cordelia exclaimed happily. "That's Shakespeare. So," She said with a big smile and leaned more towards him. "which character do you like the most?"

"Hamlet, I guess." Reiji said happily. "I've just finished reading whole book." When he told his mother that, she didn't say a word. At least she could say 'I don't care'. That would show that she was at least listening to him.

"Do you want me to take to the library? There is a lot of Shakespeare's other books like 'Romeo and Juliet', 'King Lear', 'Macbeth', 'Julius Caesar', 'Antony and Cleopatra', 'Henry the VIII' and a lot of others. Want me to take you there?" She smiled sweetly again.

"Of course!" Reiji exclaimed.

Cordelia raised up from her chair so did Reiji. She offered him her hand and he took it. (you know, mothers always have to lead their children by holding their hands to don't lose them) They started walking inside and Cordelia turned her head one last time to smirk at Beatrix who didn't seem to care much. But Cordelia knew that inside Beatrix was furious.

While they were walking through the mansion, Reiji asked. "Do you have your own children?"

"Yes. I have three sons." Cordelia answered truthfully.

"Wow. Do they play together?"

"Of course." Cordelia said with a happy voice knowing that she'll just hurt Reiji because she knew that he never played with his brother. "They are inseparable."

"In-sepa-ra-ble?" Reiji asked, confused by the new word.

"Hasn't your mother taught you some important words?" Reiji shook his head saying 'no'. "Okay, that means that they love each other so much that they have to spend every moment with each other."

Reiji lowered his head down, sad. Those boys sounded so lucky. They could play together and he was sure that Cordelia was giving him attention. "How come you live here?"

"I am your Dad's wife." Cordelia answered.

"But that's my mother."

"Listen, Honey. I married your Dad way before he met your mother. And then your father married your mother to make me jealous."

Reiji's eyes winded. He didn't want to believe this. He didn't want to believe this woman. He wanted to believe that she's lying. But she seemed so nice, her words were sounding so real. "W-Why did my mom do that?"

"Because your mother is evil." bitch Cordelia mentally added. After that Reiji said nothing. He didn't know why, but he believed her. This woman seemed so good. Like a godess. And Reiji honestly wanted to spend more time with her. Then they finally arrived at the big library. Reiji has never been here before. Although he loved books, he wasn't allowed to be at this part of the castle. "So, what do you want to read first?" Cordelia asked.

"Anything you choose would be fine." Reiji said.

Cordelia stared at the one shell for a few moments before choosing the perfect book. Perfect by her standards of course. She handed him the book and Reiji sat at the table and started reading.

After a while, after Reiji read about fifty pages he decided it's enough for today. "Mrs. Cordelia?" He asked the woman who was sitting beside him.

"Yes?"

"Will I see you tomorrow?"
