Demons. We are immortal beings that live in a different world than humans. To the humans, we are nothing but legends, fantasy. But no matter what anybody says, we are real. Demon babies age until they have their heat which usually occurs at anywhere from age twenty to demons possess certain powers. When a demon is born, he or she is also connected to a certain animal. This gives the demon the ability to turn into the animal whenever he or she pleases. The more powerful the animal is, the more powerful the demon is. Demons have a true face and a human face. Most demons are always wearing their human face. The true face is what the demon actually looks like.
Until a few years ago, female demons possessed absolutely no rights. They were not allowed to go to school or work. They were given to a male at the age of sixteen. This male could do whatever he wanted with his female. Many she-demons were treated as both labor slaves and sex slaves. They were forced to do all the housework and stay at home all day. Very few she-demons were actually given to a demon that respected her.
But all of this changed because of a powerful she-demon named Sasuke Uchiha.
Our story starts in the Sharingan kingdom, one of the most powerful kingdoms in the demon world. It was ruled by King Fugaku Uchiha and his wife Queen Mikoto Uchiha. They were both brilliant rulers who were loved by all of the people in the city. Fugaku was one of the few Strongs who truly respected and loved his wife. He never did anything she wasn't comfortable with and always asked for her opinions about the ways he ruled.
On that particular day, the entire kingdom was standing outside and nervous. Mikoto Uchiha was giving birth to a child and they could hear her screams from outside the castle. Mikoto had a frail body, and giving birth was extremely painful for her. The doctors weren't sure if she was going to make it. Fugaku Uchiha was pacing nervously outside the room in which his wife was going through labor.
When the doctor came outside the room, he anxiously looked up, praying for good news. "The good news is that the child will survive." Fugaku sighed in relief. "But, I'm afraid your wife will most likely not." Fugaku's stomach tightened. He looked at the doctor in horror. "We gave your wife a choice. Either she survives and the child dies, or the child survives and she dies. Her majesty chose the child's life over her own." The doctor said sadly.
Fugaku's despair turned to burning anger. "You gave her the choice. I am her husband. You must consult me." He roared.
The doctor shook his head. "I'm afraid with matters like this, it is completely the lady's choice." Fugaku shook with rage and fear.
"You may go in and see her and the child if you'd like. She only has about an hour more to live." The doctor said. Fugaku pushed past the doctor and walked into the room. His wife was leaning on the pillow, slightly panting. She looked happy even though she knew she was about to die. Mikoto was holding their newborn baby to her chest.
She looked up at her husband. Fugaku stood with his arms crossed looking at anything but his wife's eyes. "Are you mad?" Mikoto whispered.
Fugaku finally looked at her. "Why?" He whispered back. "Why did you pick the child over yourself?"
"We need an heir Fugaku. You know that even if I did survive, I can never give birth again." Mikoto answered. She had always been a smart woman. "It's a girl you know? Would you like to hold her?"
Fugaku took the child from Mikoto's arms. Even now, he knew that she would look just like Mikoto when she was older. She would be beautiful. Fugaku was overwhelmed by his love towards the little baby girl in his arms. The baby looked up at him with curious black eyes.
"I want to name her Sasuke." Mikoto said. Fugagku looked down at his wife.
"Sasuke is a male name though."
"I don't want her to be weak like the other she-demons around here. I want her to be both mentally and physically strong, so we should start with strong name."
Fugaku wanted his wife's last moments to be happy. "Okay. Sasuke it is."
After a few moments, Fugaku lay in the hospital bad with Mikoto. Sasuke was in between them and Fugaku's arm was around both of them. "Why do you have to leave me Mikoto?" Fugaku whispered.
Mikoto sighed. "I don't know Fugaku, but I love you. I love you so much."
"I love you too."
"Can you promise me something Fuga?" Mikoto asked. Fugaku could hear the life slipping away from her.
"Anything."
"Promise me that you'll put Sasuke through training and make her a warrior."
Fugaku was not expecting that. He hesitated. Making Sasuke a warrior would go against all of the rules set for she-demons "Promise me Fugaku." Mikoto said again.
"I promise."
Mikoto sighed in content. "Thank you." She picked up Sasuke and held him close to her chest. "I love you baby. I love you so much. Train hard and be strong. Don't let any boys put you down." She kissed him on the forehead and handed him to Fugaku.
"Goodbye Fuga. I love you." She said as her last breath escaped her and she was no more. Fugaku looked down at Sasuke. The baby's lower lip started trembling. Then she whimpered and started sobbing as if she knew her mother was gone. Fugaku cradled the baby. "Shhh Shhhh. Don't worry Sasuke. Daddy's here. Daddy will protect you." He kissed the baby's forehead as a single tear escaped his eye.
Meanwhile, a pair of eyes was watching it all. "I'm waiting for you my princess. One day, I will claim you and you will be mine forever."
