Ah! My Demon!
Hello, this will be my first ever written fanfic, it has a balanced mix of romance, happiness, morality and darkness. (I try not to stretch so much on the darkness because I dislike reading those fanfics). It has mild swearing and "lemoness" through the fanfic. This story revolves around a normal 21 year old guy (he is a loser at first), currently studying in a local public university. Then one day a demoness pops out right in front of him in his tests. I would like to thank Cevn for lending elements of his AMG! fanfic, "trail by tenderness" to be used in future versions of my fanfic.
And as everybody says: I don't own the Ah! My Goddess.
Zazu sighs as he gets prepared for another of his exams this evening. It will be his fluid mechanics exam, the one that he failed his past semester.
"I hate this subject! It made my marks drop like hell. Why in the world do they invent such kind of a subject? For students to moan in unhappiness when they fail?" He said to no one in particular. The main reason he was having a hard time at his studies because of a few factors, which piled up layers and layers of pain upon his heart. His mind kept flying to the scene a few days ago in his room at 3:00a.m.
"So you think you are such a tough ass, huh?" Screamed his roommate. "Now that I brought my friend along you don't seem to be such of a tough piece of s**t after all". Then his roommate's friend looks upon Zazu, five inches from his face (he was 1 foot taller) "I know where is your hometown, boy. Since we are still in the university your a** is still safe here. But wait, when your are out of the campus, you will be bleeding all over."
In heaven: Imma was flying with outmost haste through the heavens: "Is there no way to keep the human from realizing his status early?" She asked, in panic. "No, the power meter is arising, sooner or later he will wake up." the young god said. "Predicted: Demoness will arrive earlier at the scene and convert the human". "Damn! I have to stop that demoness! I need backup, my second class license will not do!" And flew through her medium of transportation, tables.
Back to earth: Zazu still can't believe that there are people of that kind that exist in this world. "What I did was just trying to initiate a conversation with my roommate to solve our problems. And this is what I get in return? Why in the world did god made such a person? To fill up the places in hell? And why the hell did I became the victim?"
At the library, he was browsing through the final parts of the chapter. He couldn't study at his room anyway, because he felt an aura of sadness, fear and pain every time he went there. In fact he now sleeps in his friends room, and when his friends ask him why, he simply said that he was lonely. What that was his room was now some sort of a storage room to him. Anyway, he was some kind of a loner, he seldom share his feelings with his friends. Keeping it rather than making a fool out of yourself is better. Zazu guessed to himself.
He had no one to confess too, he literally fought with his father during his semester holidays. He remembered hitting his father hard. Giving more mental torture to him, his father announced aloud to every single one in the family, saying that he is a betrayer and does not belong to the family. Zazu left the house and went back to the campus the next day after.
Suddenly,
"HELP!!!!!"
Startled by that voice he stand turned around a full 180 degree, knocking over his chair and made a loud slam on the ground. "YES???!!!" He shouted, but to no one in particular. Twenty faces then suddenly turned to him from their books and hushed him.
"Weird, I swore I heard someone asking for help." He was still looking around, amid ignoring the faces looking at him. He was still in a dazed for a few second before he realizing that faces that were looking at him. "Sorry" he announced aloud, before turning red with embarrassment.
He finally succeeded in his struggle to revise his texts an hour before the exam. "Ah, it's not complete yet, but I'm tired" he murmured, and then fell into a sleep.
Zazu woke up about 10 minutes before the exam. "Argh, s**t, I need to rush!" And practically packed up all his books in record time and rushed to the examination hall.
While he was rushing towards the hall, another pang hit him. Misa, the girl he was after, crossed in front of him. Ignoring him, she went into the exam hall.
"Sorry, I don't think we can meet anymore. I don't want my friends to talk about us seeing each other. You know, gossip in my group is very powerful here". The last words from her were still stinging in his mind. Trying his best to ignore it, he went down to the exam hall.
He quickly took his position and began to write his particulars into the paper. They he waited for the announcer to announce that the students could start their exams.
"Everyone, you can begin your ex...", barely hearing the last word, Zazu quickly opened up his question paper and began answering it. He was busily reading the question before he noticed: it was too quiet. Way too quiet even for an examination. Zazu popped up his head and look at the announcer. The announcer's mouth was still half open and suspended right there, motionless.
Alarmed, he looked around. The world had stopped it seams. None of the students are moving. Someone is in the process of opening her question paper. The first page did not fell back onto the table. It was hanging still there in the air.
Getting even more alarmed, he stand and called around. "Hello", he said, half in panic. Then he heard a noise coming from above his head. He looked up.
And boy was he in shock. There is a something completely black on the ceiling on top of his head! He couldn't see through it. It's just a black void there. He was staring at it when something seemed to pop out. It popped out rather fast. All he could see before the thing hit him were two.....
Tad!!!hunk!! It crashed into him.
Two..... What he could remember while dazed is the number two. Two. Wait, now he could feel something. Soft. Good, my senses seem to be coming back again. Two. Soft. Comfortable.
WAIT A MINUTE!!! Two and soft? What the?
"AGWGHAWWAH!!!!" A muffled scream was heard throughout the examination hall.
Immediately he pushed the thing over him to aside.
Wait, he felt something else: it's wet and smells not pleasant at all.
"Damn! I'm not a pervert!" He taught aloud. Before opening his eyes. And then he looked over to thing he pushed over.
What he saw then made him shocked in stasis:
There was a girl there. She had wings. Black wings. Wings so dark they absorbed all light that fell upon it. There were two similar but smaller wings attached to her head. Her forehead has two red stripes. So does her cheeks. She looks very cute. A succubus? No way! That thing only exists in dreams!
One thing that shocked him the most was:
She was bleeding all over. Gash upon gashes of open wounds and bruises were seen nearly every part of her body. Her wings were torn apart. A small puddle began to form on the floor.
"My god, that wet feeling and pungent smell was her blood!!"
"The hell with the god part, please, help me" the succubus said. Barely audible.
"What I can do to help you?" Zazu panicked, and rushed over to her. "Damn, I'm too good. Helping something evil like this." Zazu taught to himself.
"Hold my hand," the succubus said.
Hesitatingly, Zazu hold her hand.
And he felt his body beginning to freeze. Literally. Firstly, his felt numb at his heart. He couldn't feel it pumping. Then it grew outward. It spread through his lungs, his gut, and eventually reached his brain. Then he felt like he was dying.
"Great, Zazu, you are such a smart ass. Now the succubus is literally draining the life out of you. Congrats. What a fine way to die."
Suddenly, he heard a voice in his mind:
"Idiot, who in hell says that I'm going to kill you for myself?" the voice said. It was a female one. The voice was mixture of softness and harshness at the same time. "I'm waking you up. Time to know who and what you really are". She was looking at him. Looking right through his eyes.
"You were talking to me?" Zazu asked in stupor.
"Who else, you baka." (note: baka means idiot in Japanese).
I felt something else: Energy, or is it power? It was surging through my veins. It kept coming and coming. What great feeling this is, I feel so refreshed. I feel like I can do like whatever I want. Oh, what power. Oh, I love the feeling of it. Such power. Wait, it won't stop. I think I have enough. Please stop. It won't stop coming. Please stop. It won't stop coming. STOP! STOOPPPP!!!!!
"Arggghhh!!!!!STOP!!!!!," Zazu screamed.
Suddenly, Zazu experienced relief. Like the pressure was all gone. His head is clear. Over his forehead now lie two purple stripes, making a "V" shape, just like hers just a different colour and one stripe over both sides of his cheek.
Another light came, this time it was bright, very bright. And then came a weapon like object straight at the succubus head. Intending to crush or mutilate it.
"NO!" And he put his hand to block the path of the incoming object.
"What a stupid guy you are! You will lose your hand!" screamed the succubus. The thing came closer upon contacting his hand, and closer. However, it stopped a few inches from impacting his hand. He looked upon the being that was holding it. The weapon was tucked back upon a woman's hand. She had markings on her forehead too, but this one was a five-sided blue star, on the top of her cheeks too.
"What great kindness you are displaying, mortal-demon, protecting someone by sacrificing yourself. Hardly a demon as I say." the woman said.
"What demon?" Zazu heard himself saying.
"The goddess meant you, you egghead," came the voice from his mind. It's clearer now. Sounds like she is getting better.
"What goddess?" Zazu asked again.
"She is a goddess, the succubus pointed at the woman, and I'm a demoness, not a succubus like you taught," came the voice again.
"What demoness?" The poor human ask stupidly.
"You IDIOT!!!!" both of the females shouted at him, as Zazu covers his ears. "Who else is currently in existence here, you fool?" shouted the so called goddess.
Now those words irritated him.
"Now move aside, mortal, before I make you share the same fate as her," said the goddess.
"No way! I just felt like something new. I want to know more about what I am now," Zazu retorted.
"Well then, for the sake of the realms, you should never realized what you are. Refusing to do so will end up only with the termination of your existence."
"Shut up! You annoy me! How can a so called goddess like you be so mean?" Zazu shouted. "How could you simply maim and kill beings?"
"Here, take this," the voice in his head said. Now his mind has a picture of two swords. They are two identical, black swords, about 1 meter in length. They absorbed all light around them, similar to the succubus, ehem, the demoness wings. "Imagine them forming on your hand. I will help you."
Before, Imma could complete her sentences, two demon swords appeared from the half-demons hands. He readied himself for a battle position. She quickly took a defensive stance. She continued, "No, I don't mean that. What I ment was.....,", before she could complete her words, something then materialized from her left and blasted a force bolt towards the demon.
"NOOO!!!!" Imma shouted.
Zazu imagined the swords on his hands. He felt power accumulating on his hand. Cool, dark power. His left hand felt a little warm through. The suddenly the space in front of his hands turned black. Two ebony swords formed. The right one was pure black, while the left one was grayish black. They are very beautiful, he said in his heart, before giving a firm grip on them.
The demoness voices continued on his head, "I will show you how to fight. My wounds have healed, but I have used all my strength in doing so. Open your heart to me, let me guide you the way."
"Well, I'll dammed myself, but guess I don't have a choice," and Zazu let himself open towards the demoness. Somehow, she was able to "ask" him to pose in a way. A battle pose, I guess. And he did it, with style too. He smiled to himself. "Attack her. Make her cease in existance," the voice continued.
Just as Zazu began to move towards the goddess, the goddess shouted, "No, I don't mean that. What I ment was.....," it made him hesitate just for a few seconds. It was good enough for him to let a beam of light to came streaking at him from his right.
Zhou was just promoted to a second class god. He felt so grand now when he was in front of his once "former" god and goddess friends. Now he could act superior in front of them.
"You got your first assignment. Goddess Imma request help in defeating a demoness." the receptionist in the panel screen said.
"Good, time to show what I'm really are," Zhou said and quickly jumped into a puddle of water.
"Wait, I haven't finished the details yet!" but Zhou was gone.
Zhou could feel strong demon vibrations before he even reached his destination. Looks like he just made it just in time. He saw the demon was approaching Imma. "I'll help you Imma!!!" Putting action before taught, he blasted a ball of energy at the demon.
All Zazu could do was prepare for pain, because he saw it coming. "Damn! I'm so slow; this is surely going to hurt. Why everything unlucky always happens to me?" He moaned. He managed to close his eyes just before the light came...
...and bounced of him. All he felt was some pain and burns. Not much. But then he felt his anger rising up. Boiling. Rising higher ever then usual.
"Why people keeps thinking bad things about me? Why in the world am I so unlucky? Am I cursed? Why people always misjudge me? Why people always misread my good intentions? WHY? WHY?" he was very angry. He felt burning pain inside him. He just want to lash out.
"Looks like I'm provoking his low self-esteem well," the demoness smirked.
And lash out he did. He changed at the god. Swinging his weapon wildly. Zhou easily parried it, as he uses the metal braces on his hand to block the incoming sword, lest he know he made a fatal mistake. He underestimated the strength coming from the wielder.
It went through his braces without any resistance....
It went through his hand with barely just a tug....
It went through his body like hot wire through butter....
It went through him completely and exited the other side....
Imma looked at the scene frozen. She couldn't believe what she had seen. Death was never so easy for a second-class god. Not like that. You have to be a first class goddess to even to do something like that. Even top-notch demons will "need" time to take out a god like Zhou.
All Imma could do was scream when Zazu charged at her after that.
All I felt was anger. I want to release them all. I want to throw all my frustrations at these people who always misjudge me for what I am. Why was I cursed like this? I don't want to care about anyone or anything anymore. I cared for people but they don't care for me. I'm sick and tired of this. Really tired...
Zazu snapped into his consciousness after some liquid spurted onto his face. Blood. All he could see was a few severed chunks of abdomen lying in front of him. The sight of it made him felt slightly nauseous, but then he looked at the face of the god he slain.
The god looked exactly like his roommate. In fact, he couldn't tell weather it was his roommate or the god he had slain. He smirked. His anger went up again, and he blanked again.
He aimed the blade at the goddess throat. He wanted to see more blood. He felt happy when he slashed the god. He wanted to have that feeling of satisfaction again. He wants someone to feel what he felt. Feel my pain a thousands times over.
The blade approached her throat....
His mind went to the demoness that made a mental link with him. Strange, she was not goading him anymore. He felt something from her. Fear? Did the demoness fear him?
Why would an evil creature be afraid of me? Is it because I am able to harm her?
The blade went closer to the goddess throat...
I was always afraid. I was afraid of my parents. I was afraid of my roommate. I was afraid of life. I'm afraid of being lonely. I'm so pathetic. But looking at you, aren't you the pathetic one right row? You b***h. Feel my pain! FEEL IT!!!
Time flies slowly when the death scene comes.....
At least I can do what I wanted now. Nobody is going to stop me anymore. No more people barring me from my happiness.
The shadow of the blade over her face.....
That voice....
I pity you.....
A calm voice came as a drop of tear formed on her face.
What?
You shouldn't destroy your own life. Do you want to create more misery to yourself?
Huh?
Another voice came to my mind. Was it from the demoness?
You don't deserve this.
Came the calm voice.
Hey, cute guy!!!
???
A few inches from her throat.....
Thanks for saving me....
The voice came to my mind again.
Really?
I'm sorry for provoking you to this rage.
And the blade missed and chopped of a lock of her hair. It did not fell down with the pull of gravity through. It was stuck to her face. Her tears were holding it there.
The goddess collapsed.
Other than the sound of her thud on the floor, the whole place was quiet.
After a while....
"It was a long time I ever heard words like that," a low voice came from Zazu's direction. "Nobody said those words to me often," he added.
The demoness was still speechless. Never before she felt so much misery through a mental link. A mental link not only functions as a tool for communication, but sometimes, strong emotions can flow through them. People say that's why lovers in heaven and hell could stay thousands of years together. A better understanding of each other could be made. (Well, I made this up as a part of my fan-fiction)
She felt like a train had hit her. How in the afterlife can mortals succumb themselves so much to self-misery? It is so idiotic and ridiculous! Couldn't you spend your short life spans better rather than wasting it like that?
"I'm sorry," was all the reply she could get from him. She forgot that he could hear her taughts.
"I'm sorry too," the demoness apologised.
The air was silent for a while, before Zazu said "Well, I'm willing to discover the new prospects of my new life," He added "would you like to guide me?"
"You will know more if you follow me," as the demoness opened a portal.
"How about the goddess?" Zazu asked.
"Her friends will soon come, Yagdrassil will suddenly detect a power cut off when you send Zhou's soul to the reaper. She will be fine. And one more thing, none of the humans here will remember anything that happened here. And call me Zarah," replied the demoness.
"Er, ok, Zarah," back to the dumb and naive Zazu as he stepped through the portal.
_______________________________________________________________________ Ok. That's my ending of chapter 1. How was it? Please R&R. I would really like to improve my writing.
In the future episodes (if you people like it), I will be planning of adding a few more parts such as: Zazu's past, his love life (a surprise to who will be with him in the future), his training, his mixed heritage, his off world and home education, and many more parts of life.
And a lot of unexplained and questionable stuff will be explained in the future episodes. An example, I will explain why Zazu suddenly did not felt any pressure more when the goddess came when he was overflowed with dark energy. And why his swords are different in colour.
Hello, this will be my first ever written fanfic, it has a balanced mix of romance, happiness, morality and darkness. (I try not to stretch so much on the darkness because I dislike reading those fanfics). It has mild swearing and "lemoness" through the fanfic.

"Hold my hand," the succubus said.

And he felt his body beginning to freeze. Literally. Firstly, his felt numb at his heart. He couldn't feel it pumping. Then it grew outward. It spread through his lungs, his gut, and eventually reached his brain. Then he felt like he was dying.

"You were talking to me?" Zazu asked in stupor.
"Who else, you baka." (note: baka means idiot in Japanese).
I felt something else: Energy, or is it power? It was surging through my veins. It kept coming and coming. What great feeling this is, I feel so refreshed. I feel like I can do like whatever I want. Oh, what power. Oh, I love the feeling of it. Such power. Wait, it won't stop. I think I have enough. Please stop. It won't stop coming. Please stop. It won't stop coming. STOP! STOOPPPP!!!!!
"Arggghhh!!!!!STOP!!!!!," Zazu screamed.
Suddenly, Zazu experienced relief. Like the pressure was all gone. His head is clear. Over his forehead now lie two purple stripes, making a "V" shape, just like hers just a different colour and one stripe over both sides of his cheek.

Zhou was just promoted to a second class god. He felt so grand now when he was in front of his once "former" god and goddess friends. Now he could act superior in front of them.
"You got your first assignment. Goddess Imma request help in defeating a demoness." the receptionist in the panel screen said.
"Good, time to show what I'm really are," Zhou said and quickly jumped into a puddle of water.
"Wait, I haven't finished the details yet!" but Zhou was gone.
Zhou could feel strong demon vibrations before he even reached his destination. Looks like he just made it just in time. He saw the demon was approaching Imma. "I'll help you Imma!!!" Putting action before taught, he blasted a ball of energy at the demon.
All Zazu could do was prepare for pain, because he saw it coming. "Damn! I'm so slow; this is surely going to hurt. Why everything unlucky always happens to me?" He moaned. He managed to close his eyes just before the light came...
...and bounced of him. All he felt was some pain and burns. Not much. But then he felt his anger rising up. Boiling. Rising higher ever then usual.
"Why people keeps thinking bad things about me? Why in the world am I so unlucky? Am I cursed? Why people always misjudge me? Why people always misread my good intentions? WHY? WHY?" he was very angry. He felt burning pain inside him. He just want to lash out.
"Looks like I'm provoking his low self-esteem well," the demoness smirked.
And lash out he did. He changed at the god. Swinging his weapon wildly. Zhou easily parried it, as he uses the metal braces on his hand to block the incoming sword, lest he know he made a fatal mistake. He underestimated the strength coming from the wielder.
It went through his braces without any resistance....
It went through his hand with barely just a tug....
It went through his body like hot wire through butter....
It went through him completely and exited the other side....
Imma looked at the scene frozen. She couldn't believe what she had seen. Death was never so easy for a second-class god. Not like that. You have to be a first class goddess to even to do something like that. Even top-notch demons will "need" time to take out a god like Zhou.
All Imma could do was scream when Zazu charged at her after that.
All I felt was anger. I want to release them all. I want to throw all my frustrations at these people who always misjudge me for what I am. Why was I cursed like this? I don't want to care about anyone or anything anymore. I cared for people but they don't care for me. I'm sick and tired of this. Really tired...
Zazu snapped into his consciousness after some liquid spurted onto his face. Blood. All he could see was a few severed chunks of abdomen lying in front of him. The sight of it made him felt slightly nauseous, but then he looked at the face of the god he slain.
The god looked exactly like his roommate. In fact, he couldn't tell weather it was his roommate or the god he had slain. He smirked. His anger went up again, and he blanked again.
He aimed the blade at the goddess throat. He wanted to see more blood. He felt happy when he slashed the god. He wanted to have that feeling of satisfaction again. He wants someone to feel what he felt. Feel my pain a thousands times over.
The blade approached her throat....
His mind went to the demoness that made a mental link with him. Strange, she was not goading him anymore. He felt something from her. Fear? Did the demoness fear him?
Why would an evil creature be afraid of me? Is it because I am able to harm her?
The blade went closer to the goddess throat...
I was always afraid. I was afraid of my parents. I was afraid of my roommate. I was afraid of life. I'm afraid of being lonely. I'm so pathetic. But looking at you, aren't you the pathetic one right row? You b***h. Feel my pain! FEEL IT!!!
Time flies slowly when the death scene comes.....
At least I can do what I wanted now. Nobody is going to stop me anymore. No more people barring me from my happiness.
The shadow of the blade over her face.....
That voice....
I pity you.....
A calm voice came as a drop of tear formed on her face.
What?
You shouldn't destroy your own life. Do you want to create more misery to yourself?
Huh?
Another voice came to my mind. Was it from the demoness?
You don't deserve this.
Came the calm voice.
Hey, cute guy!!!
???
A few inches from her throat.....
Thanks for saving me....
The voice came to my mind again.
Really?
I'm sorry for provoking you to this rage.
And the blade missed and chopped of a lock of her hair. It did not fell down with the pull of gravity through. It was stuck to her face. Her tears were holding it there.
The goddess collapsed.
Other than the sound of her thud on the floor, the whole place was quiet.
After a while....
"It was a long time I ever heard words like that," a low voice came from Zazu's direction. "Nobody said those words to me often," he added.
The demoness was still speechless. Never before she felt so much misery through a mental link. A mental link not only functions as a tool for communication, but sometimes, strong emotions can flow through them. People say that's why lovers in heaven and hell could stay thousands of years together. A better understanding of each other could be made. (Well, I made this up as a part of my fan-fiction)
She felt like a train had hit her. How in the afterlife can mortals succumb themselves so much to self-misery? It is so idiotic and ridiculous! Couldn't you spend your short life spans better rather than wasting it like that?
"I'm sorry," was all the reply she could get from him. She forgot that he could hear her taughts.
"I'm sorry too," the demoness apologised.
The air was silent for a while, before Zazu said "Well, I'm willing to discover the new prospects of my new life," He added "would you like to guide me?"
"You will know more if you follow me," as the demoness opened a portal.
"How about the goddess?" Zazu asked.
"Her friends will soon come, Yagdrassil will suddenly detect a power cut off when you send Zhou's soul to the reaper. She will be fine. And one more thing, none of the humans here will remember anything that happened here. And call me Zarah," replied the demoness.
"Er, ok, Zarah," back to the dumb and naive Zazu as he stepped through the portal.
_______________________________________________________________________ Ok. That's my ending of chapter 1. How was it? Please R&R. I would really like to improve my writing.
In the future episodes (if you people like it), I will be planning of adding a few more parts such as: Zazu's past, his love life (a surprise to who will be with him in the future), his training, his mixed heritage, his off world and home education, and many more parts of life.
And a lot of unexplained and questionable stuff will be explained in the future episodes. An example, I will explain why Zazu suddenly did not felt any pressure more when the goddess came when he was overflowed with dark energy. And why his swords are different in colour.
