To Make You Proud
Prologue

'It seems to me, my Lord, that you are always sleeping.' thought the dark demon Eclipse while a smirk appeared on his lips. 'This habit of sleeping after daybreak will be broken.' He raised his hand and placed it over the sleeping demon lord, his master Raenef's forehead and uttered a whisper, "Go."

A sudden crash to the ground coupled with a cold wet sensation all over his backside sent Raenef up and reeling, "ACK-!?"

"And today is the perfect day to do so." Eclipse crossed his arms over his chest and smiled evilly to the startled Raenef.

"E-eclipse?" the boy demon lord spoke questioningly, his bright green eyes peering up to the domineering black figure.

"Lessons will now begin at the crack of dawn! YOU are to be HERE every morning to meet me from now on!"

"Eek!" Raenef bowed his head submissively, "Yes sir!"

"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU!?" Eclipse boomed.

"Uh...er..." Raenef was close to tears now, after his rude awakening his mind was now completely scrambled.

Eclipse sighed, "How does a demon lord address a command from a subordinate?"

"Oh!" Raenef was on his feet now. "How dare YOU admonish ME, vermin!?"

Eclipse sighed again, "Yes...and perhaps it would look better IF YOU WEREN'T GRINNING!?"

Raenef cowered again, "I-I'm sorry-"

"NOT sorry!"

"I'm just so hungry...Ec-"

"I don't want to hear it!"

"How dare YOU admonish ME, vermin! I am your demon lord and superior - I request breakfast!......NOW!" Eclipse was startled for a moment, and by the looks of it so was Raenef. They stood staring at one another for a brief moment, each not sure of the other's mind set. Then, in the very instance when Eclipse began to bow Raenef added- "..Please?"

"DEMON LORDS DO NOT SAY 'PLEASE!'"

*****************************

"Ahh!" Erutis was shaken out of bed by the thundering shouts of Eclipse. She found herself on the floor with her body not willing to get up, "Too...early..." she groaned.

Supposing it best to get a jump on things down in the kitchen before anyone else could, Erutis began out of her small room. She wandered the halls until she reached the kitchen, before taking one step inside she felt a presence behind her.

It was still dusk, and so dark, as her eyes widened she realized what a silly idea it was to be wondering around in a demon castle without armor on. "BACK!!!" she screamed and jumped about face, nearly sending a shocked Chris through the roof. "Oh." her temper diminished within the second and was replaced with a sigh, "It's only you..."

"WHO DID YOU THINK IT WAS!?" Chris spat as he clutched his chest and tried to tame his flustered heart.

Since neither the Cleric nor the Knight were paying attention at this point, they didn't notice a new presence creep up on them.

The entity placed its hand on Erutis's shoulder, and this time she didn't jump.

"Ahh...Rae-" She stopped mid-sentence when she saw the horrified look on Chris's face. "BACK!" she screamed, jumping again to about face the creature behind her.

The person, who was wearing a cloak gave a short gasp and fell back, as if they were made of paper. When they hit the ground they only cowered, "I-I'm sorry!"

Both Erutis and Chris took a step back and tried to get a better look at the stranger.

"I am a servant, sent here to deliver a message, only a humble servant, please do not kill me!" it cowered more.

"Oh." The two sighed in relief. "Well...what is it?" Chris asked.

"I am here to deliver the message...to Demon Lord Raenef the Fifth, King of Demons, his presence is requested by the Supreme Demon Lord, Aureleid.-"

"They have such names..." Chris whispered sarcastically to Erutis, who nodded shortly.

"-In three days, his Lordship is to prepare for a one week venture alone."

"What about Eclipse?" Erutis blurted out nonchalantly.

"Uhm...I'm sorry young master-"

"Master!?" Chris began to laugh.

"I AM A WOMAN YOU PUTRID FISHWORM!" Erutis yelled at the already cowering demon servant.

"Oh! I am sorry...young mistress, but my Lord said nothing of the great Eclipse accompanying his master."

"You know he's going to go anyway..." Chris said with his arms crossed, most sure of himself.

"Yes...and you know what that means." Erutis said with a smile.

"WE'LL HAVE THE CASTLE ALL TO OURSELVES!" both Erutis and Chris shouted, while the poor demon servant only sweat dropped.

"I-is the demon lord...i-in,...even?"

*******************

Well that's all I got so far. -_-; I suck so much...I'm actually posting this draft. This is a draft people! I just finished writing it! ...GO ME! ...I SUCK SO MUCH, YEAH! XD

But seriously, there's my premise. Eclipse and Raenef are to be at the "High Demon Court" (I guess that what it'd be called...) For a week or so. Well..Raenef is supposed to. There will be other demons too, of course.

Aurelid has important "news" to discuss with all the Demon Lords. Lalala, yep. This ish meh prologue..oh! This is yaoi too...or shounen-ai, I guess is the PG'er term. Eclipse/Raenef, of course! ^_^ Although I bow to the author who can pull off a good Eclipse/Chris! XD

Feel sorry for Raenef though guys, he'll be in front of all the other (snotty) Junior demon lords and have to prove himself while poor Eclipse tries to maintain his sanity and reputation in front of all the other higher Demon Lords. ^^
