Chapter 1:
Elizabeth Pheles
Demons.
Exorcists.
Eternal enemies.
Never meant to belong together.
Never meant to get along.
So far there has yet to be exceptions. Every single story of a demon and a human falling in love has a tragic end.
"What are you thinking of, imoto-san?" Mephisto Pheles (aka Johann Faust V to the public) asked, noticing my silence.
"About when will you stop being annoying."
"So cruel~!" Mephisto fake whined, trying to act all comical around which only made me more annoyed. "I'm your older brother! Show some more respect."
I rolled my eyes in pure annoyance, "Correction - an annoying older brother," I said with a devilish smirk.
In all honestly, I don't blame humans fearing and hating demons. After all, we've made ourselves quite a reputation. Especially my 'dear and beloved' father, Satan.
For the next few minutes I'm trying to ignore Mephisto's fake whining, he says something about losing dignity and about me not being cute anymore. At that, I kicked him right into his face. Without holding back, well I did held back a lot but it was still pretty hard kick.
My dearest brother fell onto the ground, his hands holding from his bleeding nose. My feet had been imprinted on his face, all red and fresh. It kind of made me to feel good.
"Eli, That hurt~!"
By the time he had managed to stop the bleeding, I was already out of his office in True Cross Academy. I never understood his fascination with humans, or Japan, despite of living among them for centuries. Unlike him, I have lived around the world. There has yet to be a country which I haven't visited.
:::::::
I'm laying in the yard of the destroyed church, a place where no demons, usually, can enter. Or want to, including my annoying older brother, Mephisto. I'm more than certain that if someone were to tell Amaimon that there are sweets hidden in a church he would enter the place without a second thought.
Perhaps I should try it, I thought with a mischief smirk and a snicker.
The sun is warming up my body, even if it's still a bit cold. My body visibly relaxes, and I'm about to fall asleep until I hear footsteps closing. Warily, I open one eye and glance to the newcomer.
It was a man - human - with priest clothing.
He didn't look younger than 30, give a few years. In his mouth was a burning cigarette. His eyes were hidden behind his glasses from which (both left and right) cross was tangling. In his hand he was holding a sword, and on his right chest was a crest of Exorcist.
Shit.
"What's a demon like you doing here?" The man demanded, cracking an eyebrow at my, not so hidden, tail.
"As you can see - taking a nap," I replied, slightly amused and wary.
I was ready to make an escape, should he attack me.
The black-haired exorcist blinked before laughing, "In the church?"
I shrugged, "Got any problem with that?" I shot back as I sat up from my comfortable place. Damn you, exorcist.
"Demons usually avoid churches," he pointed out the obvious.
"Well, , what are you doing here?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him and hiding my tail.
To the demons the tails are one of our weak points, besides all that stuff exorcists carry around with them like Holy Water.
"I?" He questioned, surprised. "I'm a priest and Exorcist as you've probably realized," he pointed on his chest. "I'm here to exorcise the said demon who is rumored to be living here."
My face fake fell, much like Mephisto's when he fooled around.
"And here I thought that you came to talk," I said, smirking. "It's a pity...especially 'cause I'm a bit tired and annoyed at that idiot Mephisto." I added, narrowing my eyes slightly.
The priest blinked in a surprise, before inhaling the smoke from his cigarette.
"You...know Mephisto?" His voice was analytic and calm if not surprised.
His sudden question surprised me.
"Yeah, he's my older brother," I replied, trying to remember any names Mephisto may have mentioned during our conversation about humans and Exorcists.
His cold, and slightly loathing, expression was replaced with a sincere surprise. As his brown eyes scanned my appearance, making me to feel slightly uneasy.
"You're nothing like what he's spoken of," Exorcist said, coming to a conclusion.
I blinked. "You're a friend of Mephisto?"
"Names Fujimoto Shiro, Upper First Class Exorcist," he said, sounding all confident and certain of himself.
I tilted my head in confusion, since when did Exorcists go around and introduce themselves to Demons? But if he knows ani-ue...
"Elizabeth Pheles, that's the name by which I go right now."
That was my first meeting with Shiro and the beginning of the tragedy. It was a year before the infamous 'Blue Night' where Satan killed many strong Exorcists as an attempt to find someone to free Yuri Egin (I only know it 'cause I was there and watched it). A year later, Yuri (with whom I had become good friends with) was impregnated by Satan and 9 months later gave birth to twin boys - Rin and Yukio.
