Note

First time trying to make a fanfic. Pls be gentle with me. Tips and commentary are very welcome . I can use them to make the stories even better . Have fun reading . After each chapter is done below are the meaning of the Japanese words. Some may be spelled wrong, if it is tell me I can learn from it as well ;)

San Francisco 1924

Always running, always fleeing, always hiding. The things humans wont see. Things what humans can't see. Things that are hidden inside us. Never stop running or the next thing you will see may be the last you'll remember. First thing when you see her is run. Run away till you can't go any more. The seniors even fear the powers of their own heritage. So promise me one thing before you'll leave this place and go down there. Never forget who you are and remember you are always free no matter what the sinner says. You can be free even if you are bound with this fate of ours. The world below is cruel and the humans sins is what keeps us alive. Their greed, wrath, lust, glutton, envy, sloth and pride. Mortals have these deadly sins, this is what keeps us alive. We feed on their souls and on their sins. Remember where you come from, or the mortal sins will become yours as well and I can't be there to protect you anymore. Live and be free down there. The chains of our mother wont do you much harm down there. But be careful humans wont forgive you if they find out about your identity. Your true identity as a Demon. Use a human form to live in the open. Make sure you get some food there, but sneaky. Kuroni, you are soon the last one of us. Find the sinner fighting for freedom and be free. Fight against our fate together. Deliver us all when you're done. We'll be waiting.

'Haha-ue. Togabito ka.'

The sun went down as the people are going home, Kuroni stood there waiting for when the scenery went silent. The lights went on, slowly she started walking. Not knowing where to go. She held here hand close to her waist as if there was something she was hiding from the outside world.

'Kuso, again huh. Meaning I am close by.'

Kuroni looked up at the night sky, a red moon. Filling up the scenery of the night. Not even one star that could take her attention away from it. Not even one star blinking. Only one red moon and a demon on the streets. Kuroni walked down to the beaches. She watched the ocean scenery as she felt the pain fell away slowly.

'I need to be quick will I save it through the night. But where. There is no cabin where I can hide. Not even a freakin' hut or anything else to drop down. Kuso.'

Kuroni ran quickly to find something where she could hide for the night. She scanned the area for a place to stay. She kept on running. After a minute or five she saw some lights.

'Asoko, ka' Kuroni kept on running. When she felt wood under her feet she stopped, for a moment she looked at the wooden door stairs in front of her. The whole house was made of the same material. Carefully and slowly she walked up the stairs. Right before the door she let her body hit the ground. It didn't matter to her whether she would be found by some humans. Or if some lower-class demons got her inside. As long she was away from the streets it would be okay.

"Huh, is Joshua-sama having one of his fits again?" Fiore looked up. She turned around. She put the gas on a lower pit and walked to a room. Carefully she opened it. Looking inside. A young boy from about 15 years old sitting on his bed looking peacefully out his window.

"Ya, Fiore. Isn't the night sky calm? I wonder when I can touch it. Aion-sama promised right? He promised he would take me there to the Astral line." He said a bit distant.

'No, it isn't Joshua-sama. Then what was that sound' the young woman thought. "Dinner is almost done, why don't come and get some clothes on. We can wait together for Aion-sama to return"

The boy laughed. He nodded and got out of bed. Fiore walked out of the room first. She wanted to be sure what that sound was. There was no way she would let somebody hurt Joshua. She looked out of the kitchen window. There was no sign of Aion. Neither a sign of that one of the other sinners have returned. She prepared some plates, glasses, knives, and forks for the late dinner meal. Fiore looked at the hallway, she wanted to be sure that Joshua wasn't looking. Walking up to the front door. She looked outside the window nearby, finding Kuroni lying down on the floor just outside the house.

"Who might she be?" Fiore said softly

"Fiore?" Joshua said questionable.

"Joshua-sama" Fiore turned around facing the blond haired boy. She led the boy to the room where all the dinner was. She got the food from the fire, putting it out and carefully serving it on the table.

"It seems we have an extra guest with us tonight." A low voice nor far away from the two. "Fi, why don't you get some blankets and a bucket of water for our new guest" A man came out of the darkness of the other room. Wearing all white clothing. Fiore did what the man told. She left the room, getting the stuff she needed to get.

"Aion-sama" Joshua said.

Holding Kuroni, Aion walked to the living room laying the girl down on the couch. "It seems she had a rough time before fainting in front of our home. When she wakes up call me, we'll have a nice conversation with this young demon."

"Akuma?" Both Fiore and Joshua responded.

"Is she…" Fiore started, Aion cut her sentence by shrugging. He left the room saying nothing else.

Fiore placed a cold piece of cloth on Kuroni's forehead. Fiore noticed the blood on Kuroni's hand, when she wanted to place the blanket over her. "Chi? She is bleeding."

"Is it something bad? Nee-san is it something bad?" Joshua asked curiously.

"I don't know, but to be sure I am taking her to the washroom, just in case."

Fiore laid down the bucket of water, she lifted the Kuroni up in sitting position and carefully putting one arm over her shoulder, Fiore walked to the bathroom. Joshua followed, when Fiore closed the door he waited patiently.

"Hm, odd. If she is a demon then the wound should be already healed. Joshua why don't you go to bed Fiore can handle this by herself." Aion laughed.

Joshua did what Aion said. Slowly he walked away. Leaving the Sinner alone in the hallway. After a few minutes Fiore stepped outside. She saw Aion standing a few steps away. "Aion-sama"

"And how is our guest doing?" Aion asked.

"She had a deep wound on her shoulder." Fiore answered calmly.

"Really. Bring her to my room, get Sheeda and let her examine her. It looks like she is still going to sleep for a while." He said

"It shall be done" she answered.

Fiore walked down to the lab. She saw the cat-demon working on the project for the dream. She walked up to the demon saying the orders of Aion when she got her attention. Sheeda nodded Fiore led her to Aion's room leaving the Sinners alone. She walked up to Joshua's room to see how he is doing. When she opened to door she found him already sleeping. Weakly she smiled closing the door silently.

In Aion's room Sheeda is examining Kuroni from top till bottom.

"Hm, the bleeding is responding with her horns. She is keeping one horn in the open. I have no idea where the other might be. As long she doesn't have that one she wont be able to heal the wound easily. Though she doesn't seem that wounded. I think she wakes up after an hours or so." Sheeda explained. "However, I don't know how long she can hold on with one horn. I don't see any other signs of a contract."

"Soka, can you think of something to keep her alive?" Aion asked.

"Hm, the watch Chrno has is possible, but she has to have a human soul to get her energy from. Maybe I can think of something else. But I can only fill those gaps when she is awake and willing to tell what happened" Sheeda looked to Kuroni.

"Let the past times stories over to me. You go think of something to keep her alive. I don't care what it is. I don't know what but there is something very familiar with this girl. Perhaps she is willing to tell us when she is awake. Otherwise I'll let her tell. I have my way with stubborn people." Aion smirked.

Sheeda put on a smile, she shrugged and left the room. "Then I'll be in the lab working on it"

"I'll count on you" Aion turned his attention back to Kuroni. Curiously he looked at the horn she is carrying around her neck. 'This horn, there are only a few with these kind of horns. But who were those demons again?' he reached out for the horn.

Kuroni, wake up, somebody is reaching for you. Your horn is in danger! Wake up right now. If you loose this one there is no way you will survive longer.

Kuroni eyes opened the second Aion touched the horn. Quickly she looked to the Sinner. She got up out of the bed holding her horn close to her.

"Who the heck are you?" she said curious and angry.

"I can ask you the same question" Aion said playfully.

'He is right. Where am I in the name of Pandemonium.' Kuroni looked at her surroundings. She felt at her shoulder. The bandage is covering the wound. "What?"

"Fiore took care of the wound, don't worry as I can see at your 'clothing' you cannot harm us" Aion spotted.

Kuroni looked down. She noticed that the only thing she was wearing was her armour she wore under her clothing. She calmed down, Kuroni took the blankets and covered the rest of her body with it. She looked Aion seriously answering the question he was asking her in the beginning. "I am Kuroi1 Akuma Kuroni. Who might you be?"

"The call me Aion. Togabito Aion."

'Togabito! He is one of the people I need find to help the others.' Kuroni held her horn even tighter when she heard of the name of Aion. She trembled a bit not knowing what to do next with the information she has now.
