It's sick K: the family bloodline goes back centuries Ha: shema turns to her I love you A: walks up to hanoki & grabs his arm lord hanoki stop it. You're being irrational L, S: lord? K: that's enough. Points to hanoki you are to protect my daughter, but you will not sleep with her or be in her room unless it's an absolute emergency. That means that there must be a demon endangering her life. So you'll be down the hall points to the door now leave S: father... K: quiet. He brought this upon himself Ha: shema I... I'm stupid A: come on lord hanoki pulls him away I can't believe you fell in love w/ another mortal In a room down the hall lord hanoki Ha: mortal K: it's for your own good L: yea sis.

Hanoki's room.

A: you moron. Remember what happened w/ the last girl Ha: puts his head in his hands it was just a little crush. It's not like I intended on marrying her or anything. Besides we're on a job remember A: if that's how it really is leaves Ha: that's right, just a silly little crush S: just a silly little crush Ha: shema stands up you're not supposed to be here S: I think I need to be protected Ha: from what? S: my good for nothing family Ha: shema leave, I'll get punished for your presence in my room S: but hanoki Ha: no buts S: my father can't hurt you let alone a fly Ha: um hello, I won't get paid S: is that what troubles you pulls out more that he's paid there that should be more that enough. Leave if you wish. This castle rots, as do the corpses in their graves. Ha: shema puts his arms around her come with me S: it won't work; we're from 2 different worlds Ha: runs his hand across shema's cheek it. I mean, I want you... to be with me forever, but some things can't work S: you belong somewhere else, even though I want to be with you. I'm just fooling myself. We'd be split up sooner or later Ha: give me 1 night to prove myself. I promise we'll be together. Love cannot be bound or changed. So let me prove my love for you S: I never would of thought that someone like you could have feelings of love Ha: yes, I am partly human. Can you blame me? Puts his cheek to hers I want you to be happy & if I wanted, I'd die a thousand deaths for one last night to be with you S: hanoki... I... I'd. What I'm trying to say is that. Um, well Ha: What... you can say it S: well I love you too. There is that what you wanted me to say Ha: I want you to say how you really feel, not what you think I want to hear kisses her cheek gently S: that's how I feel. That's truly how I feel. I love you so much. There's no thing I can say that describes the way I feel kisses hanoki Ha: pushes away we can't do this here... we must leave... holds shema's hand you trust me right... S: of course I do. Where would we go though? Ha: you know the castle, you pick... I kind of have a little change in personality when I do stuff like this... uh S: it doesn't matter, what exactly do you mean by personality change? Ha: I change/ act more seriously & more aggressive if that's ok with you S: There's nothing wrong with being serious or aggressive Ha: well ok, but where are we going... shema S: I don't know? Find a freaking map & pick a place. Ha: fine just take off your outfit & grab on to me S: ok but Ha: just do it shema grabs a hold of hanoki & they teleport to a dungeon S: interesting choice Ha: takes off his shirt ok I'm ready when you are S: you make it seem like a game Ha: smiles evilly S: would that be good or bad? Ha: hn... it depends on the person S: so with you... it might be both Ha: how would you know? It could be the best thing that's happened to you sits on a table do what you wish with me... S: ... uh. What is there to say walks over to hanoki Ha: puts his hand on a scar are you ready S: yes... puts her hands around his neck there kisses hanoki Ha: rolls shema over & sits on top of here hmph... shows one of his fangs would to close your eyes... S: why... uh. All right if you wish. What's the point of this? Ha: don't ask questions. Just do it... It's for your own good S: (for my own good?) shema closes her eyes hanoki... are you all right? Ha: fine (god I'm so hungry, but I don't want to hurt her) takes off shema's dress S: why can't I open my eyes? Ha: I don't like people looking me w/out my clothes on. Hn. S: why don't you? (There's nothing to be ashamed of) Ha: looks at here elegant, milky white neck and presses his mouth on it, then he bites it, softly at first, but then it starts to bleed (no wait I can't do this again, but who will know? She's so pure & beautiful I can't, but this hunger is so strong) S: hanoki please, it hurts, just a little more Ha: (is she a pain addict? Gah, don't lose focus or else. Oh what the hell?) He begins to tear at her flesh trying to devour her S: hanoki. STOP! STOP it hanoki!

Just then her savior arrives.

Mk: Down boy! Oh damn it. Knocks out hanoki w/a mallet bastard. Are you all right? S: only a few scrapes suddenly realizes she has no clothes on & turns beat red Um... can I have my dress please? Mk: Sure. Just wondering are you? Shema? S: yes. Um could you not tell my father, or any one else about this please? Mk: sure, this bastard has p.m.s. Or something along those lines, and he turns into a womanizing, and devouring demon when his human form finds a virgin woman. So please don't feel offended, he's nicer in his ½ demon form. Come upstairs. I'll make you some tea & tend to those wounds. S: okay, thank you. Mk: chains up hanoki & leads shema upstairs hey, I'm sorry for any transgressions caused by hanoki. He's an insensitive bastard. S: stares stonewalls you mean he's not really like that on a 'good' day? Mk: I wouldn't know, he's a pessimistic pain in the ass, and did I mention a bastard? Yes he is a bastard. S: are you his girlfriend or wife maybe? Disappointment ensues in her heart Mk: What?! He really must have done a number on you to think that vends at the thought hah, I have way better taste than that! Thinks over what she said I mean he's really not my type, but I mean you deserve better any ways, and he's a bastard. S: laughs a little thanks Mk: No problem. Here's some tea just made it a few hours ago, so it should be okay. If it's not I'll make some more. Now where are those bandages? Rummages around in a few drawers found them fixes shema right up There all better, just don't do anything too strenuous for a few days okay. S: right. May I ask why you're doing this for me? Mk: I know how you feel shema, that's why. S: um... how will I get back to my castle? Mk: I'll take you, but you can't tell anyone what you're about to see S: okay (at least she trusts me, unlike hanoki -- bastard) Mk: takes off her coat and shirt, then black angelic-like wings grow to an amazing length off her back. Creating a beautiful almost fertile character come on she fly's shema back to her castle as shema explains what has just happened to her S: now demons have been attacking us because we are both about to be wed & if we don't, chaos will ensue, but I don't care much about that as before. (Hanoki...) Mk: well I need to let hanoki cool off for a few days & I guess I'll take the job for free, since you're now my new friend... unless you don't want me to, because that's fine anyways. Ha: wakes up to find himself chained down Shit... mika... shema, mika's probably telling shema I'm a worthless, good for nothing bastard. Whish is partly true pulls on the chains un...unbelievable, she just leaves me down here in an old, stinky dungeon to rot; that bitch stands up and pulls on the chains A: mawha, ha, ha, ha Ha: are, let me out of these god-forsaken chains. That's an order A: I kind of like you in chains hanoki Ha: you're talking nonsense. Release me at once underling A: underling... ha... I have been waiting my whole life for this moment. It seems you're the one who at last will listen to me Ha: you are an underling; you do not have the power to overthrow A: walks up to hanoki & puts her hand on his cheek hanoki... my darling I have loved you since before you knew me leans in & kisses hanoki see all better Ha: breaks the chains & throws are to the ground how dare you defy me A: But... ha... hanoki. I was just joking; I really going to free you, I swear Ha: takes a deep breath Are I forgive you walks to Are & pins her in a corner you have nothing to worry about; I wont hurt you A: ha... hanoki

Screams echo through the dungeon.

Ha: now that my hunger is satisfied... sits and thinks... which is kind of rare wait till I get my hands on you mika... wait a sec... maybe I shouldn't have said that teleports to mika Mk: hanoki then drops 1,500 ft to the dusty, prompt, extremely hard ground STUPID BASTARD, Oh... looks a splattery hanoki Ha: that hurt just a little rubs his rear end Mk: lands how did you get out of your chains? Ha: I broke them Mk: I knew I should have re-enforced them Ha: stands up I should explain why I was, well you know... Mk: trying to eat her. Hanoki that's the 6th one this week Ha: but I... love her and I really was going to... uh yeah, but that cannibalistic urge came back Mk: turns away so you love her Ha: I don't know. When I was lying in bed I was thinking of you, but... that's b/c I missed your presence Mk: hanoki you just can't go around falling in love with every girl you meet, then eat them when you're hungry Ha: I haven't tried to eat you Mk: that's because we... I don't have feelings for you... Ha: ok. Well hey you going home. I'll take you Mk: I think I need some time to myself Ha: well ok... mika Mk: yeah Ha: did I hurt shema Mk: only a few scrapes here and there Ha: she'll never touch me again looks hopelessly at his boots Mk: I'm sure she'll forgive you Ha: forgive; I tried to eat her Mk: uh, well hanoki I would have forgiven you if I were in her position. I mean you can't help it if you're kinky Ha: kinky... I... give up Mk: well I guess I should go Ha: see you at home, right mika Mk: well no, I have to go take over your job since you can't contain yourself Ha: send shema my deepest apologies stands up mika take me with you to see her... you can chain me up, or what ever holds out his hands & puts on a seemingly fake smile Mk: I guess if I have you chained pulls out metal cufflinks & chains, oh and a muzzle Ha: it's for the best; I'll transfer my thoughts to you. So you'll be my voice Mk: makes sense puts on the chains and muzzle and teleports to shema's room where she's sitting on the bed crying shema... I brought someone with me shema looks up Ha: transferring his thoughts shema I'm so sorry S: why do you have him in chains? Release him at once Mk: he wished it this way S: but why? Mk: hanoki's a cannibal S: cannibal bug eyed he eats other people Mk: he says it only happens when, he, well. When he's... do I have to say it hanoki? Ha: shakes his head no Mk: good b/c that's sick S: walks over to hanoki and places her hand on his face oh hanoki Mk: he wants to know if you forgive him S: of course I forgive you hanoki Mk: and he says he's sorry for trying to eat you S: uh... Mk: shema, hanoki really didn't mean it S: well... that's fine. Demons have tried to eat me before. So I've gotten quite used to it. Stares at the floor please... will you please release him (do I really care for him this much to be crying over him?) Mk: I'll release him, but I wont leave you two alone, got it S: got it mika takes off the chains and muzzle there you go you poor thing Ha: thing, what ever happened to darling? S: uh... well only true lovers' call one another darling Ha: lovers... that we can never be Mk: sits in a chair rocking back and forth S: what... what, are you saying that we could never be together? Ha: looks out the window you wouldn't want me to be your lover. Even the desperate mika wouldn't take me Mk: falls out of the chair ouch S: walks up behind hanoki & runs her hands up his chest oh hanoki, I do love you and I want you to be my lover Mk: uh... don't worry I'll be fine twitches Ha: you'll end up like the rest Mk: yep, you'll end up hanoki's main course S: hanoki puts her head on his shoulder don't you want to be with me hanoki? K: knocks on the door shema, may I come in and speak with you? S: I'll come to you leave the room Mk: you love her, yet your letting her go Ha: I'm sparing her life; how could I let something so precious die such a horrible death? Mk: who says you'll kill her big man? Ha: look me, I'm a monster S: yes father walks back in Mk: what was that about? S: grabs a cloke from her closet & puts it on we're going to visit my cousins goes down stairs and waits in the court yard K: where are your bodyguards? S: I haven't the slightest clue K: shema, you sound different; are you ill? S: no father K: go to you room and rest S: but... K: take care leaves in the finest covered carriage w/lana Mk: are you going to go after her? Ha: ... S: walks in what? What are you two staring at? Mk: didn't you just leave? S: he thinks I'm ill and ordered me to rest Ha: mika will you hand me my smokes Mk: hands hanoki a pack of cigs those are going to kill you Ha: I don't give a damn S: hanoki pulls the cig out of his mouth kiss me Ha: no S: that's an order. Kiss me or leave Ha: walks out of the room Mk: lady shema... S: tears stream down her face he left Mk: men come and go. That's why us women stick together S: how could he just leave me like that? Ha: sits on the tarries hidden in the shadows Mk: hanoki's a very confused man. He just wants what's best for you S: the best thing for me would be him Ha: (who am I kidding? It would never work out. I'm a demon; she's a fragile human... Cana, I can't lat it happen again) S: And he doesn't need to put pitty on me. I can do anything that anyone else could. I'm not as fragile as I seem Mk: he's just taking precautions S: I can fend for myself... most of the times Mk: there's something you should know about hanoki S: what? Mk: hanoki's a demon... a demon that has pitty for mortals. Once he fell in love w/a girl & they got married, but on the night of their honeymoon he devoured her w/out knowing. S: he what? Ha: (shema... memories of Cana run through his mind and the faint sound of screams) no, no... go away... S: so he ate her Ha: shema! Walks into the room she's right; I ate her. She's on of many Mk: hanoki... S: one of many... I don't understand. I do but... a demon, but you're different than the ones that hunt me down. You kept this from me the whole time. I thought that I could trust you, depend on you, but I was just kidding myself. Ha: it makes me no different. So the feelings you have for me are false... I know mine aren't Mk: hanoki get over yourself; you're just... Ha: just a retched half-demon torn between worlds S: how could you lie to me? Why would you do all those things if you'd just leave any ways? Mk: hanoki has his many reasons S: mika if I'm not mistaken I was talking to hanoki. If you don't mind I'd like you to leave. I would like to talk to hanoki... alone Mk: I can't do that S: are you afraid that he'll eat me? Looks at hanoki if he peruses I'll call for you Mk: still I can't S: please leave mika Mk: glances at hanoki, stands up and leaves Ha: her face haunts me. So innocent, so pure; I couldn't do it again S: who... who haunts you? Ha: my wife; she is the one who haunts me. Her screams, the smell of blood... her blood S: you were married Ha: yes I loved her deeply, as I love you S: how did she die? Ha: like I said; the blue blood in me began to take over and soon my lover became my meal. I awoke to find her in a puddle of blood S: you... you Ha: go ahead call me a monster, because that is all I am. Am I not? S: ... amazing. You're no monster to me. If you could would you kill my family for me? They all need to die a thousand deaths for this horror they've put me through walks to a window they're back. Tonight, free me from them all. Ha: I'm not your lackey anymore; get mika to do your dirty work S: lackey Ha: you find my wife's death amusing do you? Pulls out his dagger & begins to carve at his wrist so let's see if you find humor in your lover's death S: mika get in here! Mika runs in w/her sword drawn he's trying to kill himself Mk: that's impossible. Hanoki can't die. He maybe half human, but he has demon blood running through him Ha: shema my love is it funny now? S: I never said it was amusing Ha: eyes glow red why aren't you laughing? Mk: hey hanoki snap out of it. Shit S: hanoki... please stop Ha: keeps carving Mk: hanoki cut it out that's not funny S: looks down hiding her face please... Ha: not amusing S: PLEASE... STOP!

The piercing scream blows her furniture to the walls & breaks the windows.

S: falls to her knees & tries to catch her breath Mk: no mere human could do that Ha: stops what? Who are you really? S: trembles hanoki... I only asked of you to do that b/c I cannot, I've never tried Ha: answer my question S: if you must know pulls her hair back I am sort of like you, but from the so-called "better side" of goodness, but I find it too boring and stressful for me. I never found it necessary to tell you or anyone for that matter Ha: you call me a liar, you blood drips to the floor creating a puddle mika you will stay with her for good. Do not come after me S: hanoki... I love you Ha: how do I know that's not a lie as well? S: darling... come to me Ha: pulls shema to his chest and puts his dagger to her throat do not waste you time. You lie... Mk: ... hanoki S: go ahead. More memories. Ha. Doubtful that I'll die, but then again I am mortal or could I be lying about everything? Trust is very hard to come by. So what are you going to do w/me? Kill me like your wife... Ha: screams run through his head & he releases shema S: so she brings very painful memories to you...hanoki puts her hand on his shoulder Ha: get away swings at her, she grabs his hand and kisses hanoki you... S: one of the things I do not lie about is love, & how it can be painful. I know... hanoki. Ha: you know not of my pain S: hugs hanoki Ha: pushes her away get off me you inferior creature S: hanoki Ha: stay away drops to his knees & begins to cry Cana, why damn no... stay back. Save yourself shema Mk: lady shema, put this on Ha: screams echo in his mind you shall be my next victim if you don't leave S: no... hanoki please; don't talk in such a manner. There's no need for that. I don't want to leave you Mk: grabs shema's arm & runs into the hall, but not w/out shema freeing herself and locking her in w/hanoki S: you can fight this hanoki steps closerhanoki... Ha: eyes burn red stay away... from me S: hanoki, you don't want to hurt me. Both you and I know that reaches for hanoki's shoulder Ha: shema... you fool S: I am no more a fool than you gets a brief hold on his shoulder snap out of it. This couldn't be you at all; you posses such power & strength. Ha: if you do not leave I will have no power to hold back on killing you S: if you really love me & want to keep it so than don't kill me gets a tighter hold on his shoulder hanoki listen to me Ha: collapses into shema's lap S: hanoki lifts his head up to see hanoki's eyes glowing red & a mouth full of fangs it couldn't be you Mk: bangs on the door shema stay away form him! Ha: pins shema to the ground die mortal S: STOP! Holds up a cross which once belonged to Cana don't do it hanoki Ha: Takes the necklace and looks it Cana stands up & walks over to a window my love S: mika I think it's working Ha: our child died as well shema. She was pregnant S: uh Ha: my only child... a boy or girl of my own died & it's my entire fault...

Besides I need you there, not only to protect me, but to see what book you might like... hanoki Ha: yeah S: you know how to write, not in the demonic language though Ha: a little S: well, before you can read it helps to know what the letters look like. To help you should know how to write them walks to her desk & pulls out an old piece of paper w/letters on it capitalized & lowercased hanoki this is the written alphabet Ha: some of these are similar to those in the demonic alphabet S: sits next to hanoki here you have it Ha: why do I need this? S: so you can practice writing stands there's paper on my desk. I'll go get some food. Since I haven't had any for a while Ha: sits and stares at a blank piece of paper uh, ok I guess I'll start with this arch looking thing with the funny line through it draws an "A" hey that wasn't so hard S: no it wasn't, so may I go now? Ha: go eat... whatever... uh shema, what's this letter called points to an "H" S: that's an h, that's what your name starts with Ha: H, that's great.

Ha: works at his letters as shema to the kitchen uh this is so hard. I have no clue what I'm doing, but I can't let shema know. It's not manly like. S: walks up behind hanoki seeing him struggle huh? Puts her hand on his & helps him write like that hanoki Ha: (how embarrassing yet interesting) shema I can do it myself. I don't need your help S: you can admit if you need help. There's nothing-wrong w/that. Smiles and kisses hanoki on the cheek Ha: yes there is, a man never admits that he is doing something wrong. It's just not right S: lets go you're right Ha: I... am S: yeah. I should leave you w/your manliness. I didn't mean to interrupt you. Ha: shema... S: ... but you know what. Don't come to me when you can't read. Leaves & goes outside Ha: (she wants me to ask her for help, I never ask, but she matters to me) Shema if that's what you wish hanoki stands & walks outside where shema's standing excuse me lady shema S: turns to hanoki yes Ha: I have come to ask you a question S: yes Ha: places his hand on her shoulder uh, lady shema K: Ahh Shema there you are glares at hanoki Ha: Pulls his hand off her shouldersir K: how about that dress, we must find you one S: I don't want to get married K: What!

I'll stay one last night, but in the morning you have to promise not to cry, got it S: I can't help it (ok why are we still standing here? Think, think) shema eyes widen & she places her hands on her head... ewe Ha: what is it lady shema... have I said something wrong?

Why is that shema? Mk: it's not nice to laugh at people S: uh, toy is such a disturbing word. If you don't want me to kiss you anymore... never mind Ha: well shema do you love me? If so, then our love is not a toy Mk: yuck S: then why'd you say that in the first place? Ha: so you do truly love me kisses shema S: duh hanoki kisses him back Ha: well then I shall stay, leave now you ingrate glares at mika Mk: me, an ingrate; you better watch it hanoki Ha: go tell the counsels that I have failed and had died... err go now Mk: jeez any one hear of hemorrhoids, cause this guys got them S: you have issues yourself mika Ha: I'm going to take a bath; I reek of death S: ...

S: yeah & your big point is? Ha: I'll be in the bathtub lady shema, naked... if that's what you want S: isn't that how you take a bath, naked, unless you wear a bathing suit, but that's optional Ha: where will you be during this? S: ... I could come with if you like, or I could wait in my room fully clothed Ha: oh so tempting... it's up to you my lady (though the clothes off sounds wonderful) S: it's your bath, so therefore it is your decision, my lord Ha: lord I am not, at least not any more... I guess a friendly bath wouldn't hurt S: [sarcastically] oh thanks hanoki, you call me "my lady" so I have to call you something (besides a bastard) Ha: at the bathroom hanoki takes off his clothes slowly shema my lady I wish you to kiss me now S: wishes don't always come true shema draws a circle on hanoki's chest Ha: then I should stop wishing... I demand you to kiss me at once S: oh a demand kisses hanoki Ha: puts his arms around her S: are you going to stand here for the rest of the day... holding me? Ha: if you wish me to... S: hanoki... I mean lord hanoki Ha: gets into the bath are you coming? S: she walks to the edge of the tub I'd like to stay dry for the time being Ha: if that's how you want it to be... but it's really fun in here S: n...no shema turns to leave, hanoki grabs her dress & pulls her in I... can't believe you did that Ha: smiles and holds shema see, you didn't want to join me so I used a tactic called force S: I can see that force works very well (which I think he could use to his advantage) if you don't mind shema stands Ha: come on shema; don't go S: why should I? What's the point? Ha: the point is that I'm in a hot bath, naked & you should be too S: you think it so Ha: oh come on, I could have taken a bath alone at home S: but you didn't want to... if you insist she turns around & pulls her hair forward could you unzip me Ha: sure unzips shema's dress S: stands, takes her clothes off & gets in w/hanoki see now you're not alone, naked giggles to her self Ha: what's so funny... do I disappoint you? S: no it's nothing... do you like being with me hanoki? Ha: of course my lady... touches shema's cheek S: kisses hanoki... hanoki Ha: pulls shema onto his lap S: what do you think you're doing? Ha: what else would I be doing... kisses shema on the neck then her collarbone shema, my lady I love you S: shema lightly presses her finger tips to hanoki's chest & drags them down and stops at the water's surface Ha: not going any lower S: I'll wait till later. Gives more suspense Ha: darn... S: why such a sad face shema hugs hanoki & kisses his neck Ha: disappointment... S: what? I thought this is what you wanted she licks hanoki's ear Ha: hanoki's jaw drops (interesting) shema pulls back no, no you have to stay close to me S: I have to Ha: you have to S: I do Ha: yes S: but why? Ha: b/c a man's supposed to keep his woman near & dear to his heart

AN: can you believe how cheesy he's being S: really... puts her head to his chest I think I hear something Ha: oh really S: wait... it's just you breathing Ha: [sarcastically] you're so funny S: aren't I though kisses hanoki Ha: slides his hand down shema's back S: hey I thought you said this was only a friendly bath Ha: it's a very friendly bath S: but you said Ha: I say a lot of things kisses shema S: is it true that you want to marry me? Ha: uh... um when did I say that? S: let me recall your exact words to my father "sir I would like to ask for your permission for your daughter's hand in marriage"... does that ring any bells Ha: Oh yeah that, I remember saying that S: you don't want to be w/me hanoki shema goes over to the other end of the tub facing away from hanoki I see how it is Ha: oh shema, don't do this to me. I've been shunned by everyone; please not you too S: you never answered; do you want to be with me or not? Ha: of course shema, I want to be with you S: well, you obviously don't show it all that much Ha: what do you want me to do get down on my knees and beg S: you could do that if you really wanted to; you'd have to beg like a dog, but you would consider that even more degrading than being with me, wouldn't you Ha: a dog I am not, but I will ask you pleasantly; will you marry me...? S: you mean it; you really want to marry me... 'Cause my answer... it would be... it would be... yes Ha: yes... yes... YES! Stands up in the tub S: her eyes widen & she puts her hands to her mouth (oh my, he has quite a big ego) Ha: blushes & sits down I forgot S: goes to hanoki's side I don't mind... at all shema kisses hanoki's cheek Ha: really puts shema on his lap kiss me & I'll kiss you back S: ... didn't I already do that? ... She looks into his eyes & kisses him mmm...
