Nana, a scientist, is currently investigating ruins that supposedly contained information about a demon that surfaced from beneath the Earth 400 years ago. The world was nearly destroyed by the unknown demon that appeared during that horribly devastating era. Nana researches about the species of the demon, its habitat and so on so forth, she almost felt like giving up because the lack of information, until she heard a rumor that the demon once dwelled in the ruin she was currently standing in.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" someone asked, appearing behind her. Nana was startled and fear shot through her veins. She quickly grabbed her plasma pistol and pointed a t the monster. The monster started to take on a human form, one with unruly blond hair. Even so, he doesn't look like a normal human, the black scar-like marks patterned all over his body prevented that.
"You're a human?" asked the hell dweller, looking at Nana in curiousity.
"And you're a monster," Nana stated. She fired the electric plasma pistol towards the demon in human skin, but the demon was able to easily avoid the well aimed shot.
"Whoa, calm down little lady. I mean no harm," said the tattooed demon, as he grinned at Nana. Before Nana could snap at the marked humanoid, the man started to sniff the air in a dog like manner. Quickly, he grabbed Nana's hand and ran from whatever it was that he smelled, into a tiny closet she hadn't noticed before, a small hole in the door making the outside visible.
"What do you think you doing?" asked Nana hissed in borderline hysteria. In return, the demon clamped his slightly clawed hand over her mouth and whispered to stay quiet if she wants to live. Not a moment after, the brunette's eyes widened in surprise when she saw two large demons dressed like soldiers passing their hiding place.
Still shocked at the seemingly random appearance of the demon soldiers, the demon is able pick her up and bring her the edge of her village (how did he know?)placing her on the ground gently. When she starts coming out of her shocked state, she finally noticed where she had been taken, the man was holding her hand, leading Nana to her home she realized.
"You're lucky that I found you before the soldiers did. You sure have guts to step into our village," said the man (He stopped being "demon" when he had saved her), grinning at her.
"Thanks,"
"So. Since I saved you, can we be friends?"
"Excuse me?"
"I'm asking if we can be friends."
"I don't trust you."
"Oh, I see. All humans are the same. They're truly ungrateful,"
"Don't you dare to speak like so rudely of my kind," Nana snapped back in anger.
"Well, I'll changed my opinion about humans if you accept me as your friend." said the man, holding out his hand to shake with Nana. Nana seemed to contemplate the offer before she sighed in exasperation, taking the hand and shaking it, silently agreeing on becoming the man's friend.
"If we are going to be friends I'll need a name to call you by," The man stated teasingly.
"Nana."
"What a beautiful name and mine is Iemitsu," the man- Iemitsu- kissed the back of Nana's hand lightly.
"I'll see you soon," Iemitsu declared, leaving Nana alone with her changed opinion of demons.
Am I A Human or...?
Who knew that a demon and a human could become best friends like Nana and Iemitsu. Nana, who had been alone because she was an orphan, started to feel the warmth of incomparable happiness when Iemitsu took her from one place to another, never really visiting anywhere twice. Nana decided to retire from her job so that the Government didn't know of her activities with Iemitsu. Little by little,love started to develop between this pair of happy friends.
"Do you believe in love at the first sight?" Iemitsu asked quietly. That night, Nana invited him to sleep in her cozy, little house.
"I don't know," said Nana, playing with Iemitsu's hair from her position on a chair that barely allowed her head to pass the height of his, despite the fact that he was sitting on the floor. Iemitsu rose up and attempted to kiss her before Nana stopped him.
"We can't. Not until we get married," Nana said with an uncharacteristically shy blush on her face.
"No problem. We could marry right here, right now,"
"What?" Nana asked, her nose scrunched up a bit in confusion.
"It's an old ritual in our village. We get married through a blood bond, the husband drink a little of the wife's blood and the wife drinks the husband's blood." Iemitsu said as he cuts his palm and lets the blood flow freely from the cut. Nana looked at Iemitsu -almost hesitantly- for a short while, then she seems to come to a conclusion, gently presses her lips to his palm and drinks his blood. Slicing her own palm, she let Iemitsu to drink her blood. Both of them decided to celebrate by baby-making.
=TIME-SKIP=
Nana carried a baby sized bundle and approached the gate between the human village and demon village. After the 'marriage', Iemitsu left her in order to protect Nana from other demons that might target her because of their relationship.
"Look, Tsu-kun, this is Papa's home," Nana said, longing evident in her voice. But 'Tsu-kun' didn't give any response because he was sleeping peacefully.
"Nana, what're you doing here? You know that this place is dangerous for you," a voice which Nana had longed for asked behind her.
"Is it my fault to be here because I miss you?" asked Nana. Her eyes filled with tears. The tears that were now flowing down her cheek were not of sadness, but tears of absolute. Being able to see her beloved husband once again flooded her with happiness she hadn't felt since he had left.
Iemitsu looked lovingly at his wife and wiped her tears. He hugged her tightly, still not realizing the presence of the baby in Nana's arms. All his feelings of longing for Nana from when he separated from Nana for almost a year finally settled down, the hug quenching his thirst for her lovely aura.
Suddenly, he hears a baby's frustrated cries. He looked down and saw a brown haired baby in Nana's arms, crying in baby-like anger, maybe because his sleep was being disturbed. He looked at the baby and then looked at Nana in question several times before it finally dawned on him what the baby means.
"This is mine?" Iemitsu asked, pointing at the baby.
"Yes. This baby is our child, dear," said Nana, smiling before putting 'Tsu-kun' in Iemitsu's muscular arms. The moment the baby felt a that the one his baby mind labeled as 'mother' was not currently holding him, he opened his eyes and stared into Iemitsu's eyes.
"Look at her, Nana. Good thing that she inherited most of your looks. She looks just like you, Nana. A very wonderful and beautiful child," said Iemitsu, kissing the baby's pink-tinted cheek. Nana only giggled, knowing that Iemitsu has mistaken the baby's gender.
"Iemitsu," said Nana, pointed her finger at the baby's genital part. Iemitsu looked where Nana pointed and realized his 'daughter' was truly his son. His grin grew wider and he brought the baby into a tighter embrace.
"Remember Iemitsu; let this be engraved in your head about a prediction that was made by our ancestor long ago, about a boy. A boy that is half human and half demon, with the power could destroy everything that we have created, including this Famiglia. If you encounter that child, destroy him at all cost,"
Iemitsu widened his eyes in realization when he remembers his father's word. He looked at his son. His son is the child in the prediction. But... he can't destroy his son like his father wanted him to, this was his son. Even if it costs him his life, he would never take the life of his innocent child. Quickly, he give their son back to Nana.
"Nana, you must run away," said Iemitsu in tremble voice. He knows that this choice will make him to never meet Nana, but he must do it to protect his child.
"But, Iemitsu...,"
"No question. You must take our child and run away from here. Go to a place far away, where no one knows you or our child," Iemitsu said as panic steadily started to became prominent on his face, he looked tense as he whipped his head to check their surroundings, making sure that no demons were spying on him.
"But why?" Nana asked with furrowed eyebrows, she didn't want to leave her husband so soon.
"We must protect our child at all cost. It is a parent's duty, right? It is unsafe to let this child grow up here. If my father knows about this child, he will send other demons to kill him. So, you must go." Iemitsu was gritting his teeth at his misfortune. Why does it have to be my child? Is karma mocking me?
"What's about you, dear?" cried Nana. The baby who could feel the tension in the air started to cry as well.
"I'll be fine, I promise. What's most important right now is keeping you and our child safe," Iemitsu gave a soft loving smile at his beloved. Nana nodded in understanding.
"I gonna miss you, Iemitsu," said Nana, holding her son tightly, preparing to run to her village and gather anything they needed.
"Me too. Take care of yourself and our child, Nana." Iemitsu took one last look at his precious family and disappears once again.
"I hope we can meet again. If not in this life, let us meet again in another life," said Nana, before exiting the forest. That day was the last day that the villagers ever saw Nana and her tiny baby. Iemitsu watched from a distance, silently praying for his son and wife's safety.
