Summary: Demon Masumi holds angel Yuzu's friends hostage and her demands are not what one would expect at all.

"You want me to what?" The tips of Yuzu's wings fluttered as she stared at the demon, who stood with her sword pointed far too close to the humans Yuzu protected.

Masumi smiled a viscous smile, one that sent tiny tingles all through Yuzu no matter how much she wanted to deny it. Masumi used her beauty like a weapon to get those who were foolish enough to notice it off their guard.

Yuzu tried hard not to be that foolish. But that only meant Masumi had to use other methods to get to her. Such as the gathering of these small children, sealed into a cage.

"You heard me. I spoke very clearly, Yuzu. Three times I'll tell you to do something for me, and for each time you do, I'll release one of these little rats." Masumi licked her lips, her tongue a small dart of flame. "Any time you turn me down, I'll find someone else to play with."

Yuzu shuddered. As much as she wanted to have options, she didn't. The children cried and screamed, pounding at the cage bars, but nothing happened. None of them had any magic that would help them out of there. Only Yuzu could do that, and only by doing what Masumi wanted of her.

"What is it you want?" Better to do it and get it over with. There would be penance to pay afterward but the children's safety mattered more.

With a wave of her blade, Masumi had her two minions, Yaiba and Hokuto, take up guard positions on either side of the cage. Then she stalked over to Yuzu and grabbed hold of her wrist.

"You're going to comb my hair for me," Masumi said, that sly viscous smile brighter. Yuzu stared at her harder.

"You want me to comb your hair?" This wasn't the kind of demonic behavior she was used to.

"Don't you know now?" Masumi asked, sneering. Yuzu nodded just before a comb of bone ivory was thrust into her hand. "Then do it. And do a good job, or else."

She did not have to explain what 'or else' meant. The cries of the children made that abundantly clear. Yuzu settled herself behind Masumi and carefully began to work the comb through the demon's acres of night-black hair.

She'd combed hair before, but never quite like this. A faint scent of some unknown kind arose from the long locks, which gleamed like black satin in her hands. Her fingers trembled a little as she realized how fine the hair was. She'd never been this close to a demon's hair, either, or to a demon that wasn't trying to kill her.

Carefully she worked the comb over and over through Masumi's hair, her fingers growing used to the weight of it. The more she worked, the more she enjoyed it, finding a comfort in the rhythm of the combing, until finally Masumi spoke.

"That's enough."

And Yuzu wished for a moment that she'd kept silent.
