(a/n) I'm back! I am truly sorry for the lack of updates and have no excuse other than I was not here and then school started. I did bring a notebook with me on my travels and here it is…. Maris

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the characters or plot of Demon Diary, :'( But Gaia is mine and the lemons are written by BishonenMistress whose many great works are on (yeah, yeah shameless plugging, I know, I know) I also beg forgiveness as I don't have the book in which Leeche is mentioned so I don't have the exact quotes. shrug sorry.

Warnings: Yaoi, shounen ai, Rae x Eclipse, For those of you who don't approve of male/male relationships, THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!!! You have been warned!!! For those of you who wonder why I had to put that in, I apologize. AU and OOC and OC but no pairings with an OC. So thanks for putting with all of the warnings for stupid homophobes…in fact, if this includes you, you should probably just turn around right now and leave because I can guarantee that you will definitely not like this story.

Ok…now that that's done…I give you…

Leeche's Claim

Hello. My name is Gaia, named for the Earth. You have probably heard of my uncle, demon of the 3rd order, Eclipse. When I was in my teens, due to some slight power control issues, I was sent to live with him and his young master at the Castle With No Name. The following is an account of one particular incident that occurred during my stay.

The sun was setting golden over the pale alabaster stones of the Castle With No Name. A young woman stood at the imposing front gates, anxiously muttering to herself. "I was such a fool. But he was so sweet and maybe he'll be the same. And so handsome! What if he didn't wait for me? What if he's married? With children? Or..." She was cut off by a tall, dark haired demon who opened the gate.

"Do you have any idea whom it is that you are disturbing?" Eclipse growled. He noticed the flush on the girl's face and bowed slightly. "May I help you Miss …"

The woman swallowed and shook herself, "Leeche."

Eclipse stared. "I beg your pardon?"

Leeche smiled slightly. "Leeche," she repeated.

Eclipse nodded. "It has been a long time Miss Leeche."

She nodded. "It certainly has. Umm… before we go to see Raenef, could I ask you a question?"

Eclipse raised an eyebrow. "You just did."

She flushed. "Another one, er, rather, broad series of questions actually."

Eclipse bit back the urge to set her aflame and nodded in submission. "If you must."

Leeche bobbed her long blonde hair by means of a curtsey. "Is the Lord Raenef, umm, does he, er, is he married?"

Eclipse repressed a shudder and shook his head. "His lordship is not married, no."

Leeche let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding. "Ok, I guess I'm ready. Oh, wait. Is he still…Raenef?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Like I remember him. From 10 years ago. Nice and not exactly typical demon lord material."

Eclipse swallowed the grin that was threatening to steal across his face. "Lord Raenef is Lord Raenef."

Leeche smiled and subconsciously straightened her dress. "Ok, I'm ready."

Eclipse and Leeche entered the castle to be instantaneously hit with of ice water from over the door. The sound of arguing filled the air as a pair of humans wandered up towards the castle. Eclipse turned to them, murder in his eyes. "Erutis…Chris…" A fireball appeared in his hand and both stopped shouting as their mouths filled with flames.

Erutis grabbed the sleeve of Leeche's drenched gown to douse the flames and turned to Eclipse. "It wasn't us, I swear! It wasn't us!"

Chris nodded emphatically beside her.

"You cleric, had better start praying." Eclipse growled. He then turned and motioned to Leeched. "I am sure that there is something suitable and dry for you to wear for your meeting with Lord Raenef. As for you two," he rounded on the pair, "who was it?"

They shrugged quickly before darting off in the opposite direction. "See you at dinner."
