A Devil's Love

Pairing: Patchouli x Koakuma

Genre: Romance/Drama

Disclaimer: I do not own Touhou or any of its characters.

Author's Note: Hello, everyone. My name is Yuri and this is my first Touhou fanfic. The story is based on Major Mario's "Tome of Malus", which I loved very much. Also, I love the Touhou doujins featuring Patchy and Koa, expecially from Millet Soup. That is my most favorite doujin authors! So, in case some of you want to picture the characters, I'd say go for Millet Soup's. Koakuma's design is super cute, even her personality! We even get to see Patchouli's smile from time to time. So, I might go for those personalities. In the meantime, enjoy the story! ;)

"Koakuma," Pachouli says while turning a page from her book.

"Yes, Lady Patchouli?" a red-haired little devil comes running up to her mistress.

"Can you put this away for me please?" Patchouli hands Koakuma a spell book that is dark brown colored.

"Oh, okay. Was that one not working for you, Lady Patchouli?"

"No. That spell wouldn't have worked anyway."

"As you wish."

"Oh, and while you're at it, could you please make some tea?"

"Okay. I'll get to that right away."

The purple haired magician turns back to her paper as she says, "Thank you."

Koakuma walks over to one of the many shelves to the right of the library and inserts the book into its proper place. Since she's been here for a long time, Koakuma almost knows her way around this place. Once she gives a nod of satisfaction, she goes over to the table to pour some hot tea for her mistress. As she is preparing the tea, she thinks back on the day she was summoned from her original home: Makai. It's been so long since she had been Patchouli's assistant and she had even been given a name. She can actually remember the time that she was summoned here for the first time.

**Flashback**

Patchouli held the book in her hand while she placed the paper on the floor, marked with a red star on it. She had worked long and hard on this summoning spell and hoped that it would work. Her best friend, Remillia Scarlet, the owner of this mansion, doubted that it would work because the success rate is very low, even summoning demons from another world. But Patchouli never gave up and now she was putting it to the test to prove the vampire wrong.

Raising her hand, she says these words:

"Demons from another world, I summon thee

From this spell I cast, I shall set you free"

With the wave of her hand, the paper, followed by the star, started to glow faint red. Then, it glowed brighter and brighter until it's blinding to anyone's eyes. Patchouli squinted to notice a small shadow coming out of the glowing star, slowly taking form. It sprouted out bat-like wings from the back and small ones for the head, followed by long flowing red hair. Once the glowing stops, the figure can finally be seen clearly. Other than wearing a black dress with white sleeves, this girl looks very young and cute at the same time. Patchouli's mouth slowly curved into a smile, seeing that she finally did it. The little demon opened her eyes, revealing to be the same color as her hair and looked up at the purple haired magician.

"Hello," she said. Her voice is quiet, but gentle. "Where am I, Mistress?"

"You're at the Scarlet Devil Mansion," Patchouli replied. "This is the library. And I'm the one who summoned you. My name is Patchouli Knowledge."

"I see," the little demon says.

"So . . . what is your name?" Patchouli asked.

"I . . . I don't have one," the red-haired demon said.

"Huh?" The purple haired mage is slightly confused and shocked at the same time. A demon with no name?

"No one gave me a name since I was born from Makai. All they can call me is 'little devil'."

This gave Patchouli a brilliant idea. "Little devil, huh?" She scratched her chin in thought. "Little devil . . . little devil . . ."

"I-Is there something wrong, Mistress?" the red-haired devil asked.

All Patchouli could do is softly giggle. "Oh, nothing. It's just that I have the perfect name for you."

"Really!? What is it!?"

"From now on, you'll be known as 'Koakuma'," Patchouli declares. "It suits you because of what people call you."

The red-haired devil smiles. "I love that name! Thank you! Thank you, Mistress!"

"Patchouli."

"Eh?"

"You can . . . call me Patchouli."

Koakuma tilts her head in confusion. "Are you sure about that?"

"I'm sure . . ." There is a slight blush on the purple haired magician, but tries her best to hide it.

"Okay . . . Lady Patchouli."

Soon, there is nothing but silence except for the two smiling at each other.

**End of Flashback**

After that happened, Koakuma was welcomed to the mansion by the other residents, including Remilia. At first, Remilia considered Koakuma not worthy of being here since she's naive and everything. However, because of Koakuma's kind personality, Remilia changed her mind. The two soon became good friends and had been socializing with each other each time Koakuma had her break.

Koakuma smiles as she picks up the tray. "All finished." With that, she walks the tray over to Patchouli's desk and pours a cup for her.

"Here you go," Koakuma says as she hands her the tea.

"Thank you." The purple haired magician picks up the cup and takes a sip. A small smile creeps on her face as she sets the cup down. "Mm . . . delicious."

"I'm glad you like it, Lady Patchouli."

She takes back the tea as she leaves her mistress in peace. There, she looks up to notice Sakuya walking by.

"Hello, Koakuma," the silver haired maid says. "How are you?"

"I'm fine thanks," Koakuma replies. "How about you?"

"I'm great. You gave Patchouli some tea just now?"

"Yes and she liked it."

"That's good. You know, you've been very loyal to her since she's summoned you from Makai."

Koakuma blushes at this. "W-well, I'm her familiar after all."

Sakuya giggles and pats her on the head. "Now, now. There's no need to be embarrassed about it. I'm just giving you a compliment, that's all."

"Oh, well . . . thank you."

"She's right," another voice says from behind Sakuya.

Koakuma looks over to notice the vampire standing there with a smile on her face while putting her hands on her hips.

"You've been a very good girl lately," Remilia says. "And I'm grateful that Patchy summoned you. You've been a great help in the library. Keep it up, Koa."

"Thank you very much, Mistress!" Koakuma says, bowing respectively to her.

Since becoming friends, Remilia now calls Koakuma, "Koa", as she did for Patchouli when she became friends with her. She only did it because it's cute, but Remilia will never admit it.

"Well, we'd better get going," Remilia says. "I'm going to talk to Patchy for a bit, okay?"

"Alright," Koakuma says. "I'll see you later."

Both Sakuya and Remilia wave the little devil as both of them go their separate ways. Once Koakuma sets the tray down, she looks over at the tall shelves filled with books she had arranged and put away so far.

"Ah . . ." she sighs happily. "I really did a good job. Lady Patchouli must be so proud." Just then, after mentioning her name, her heart starts to skip a beat. "Lady Patchouli . . ." As soon as she said it, images of her mistress come popping in her head. Each and every image is none other than the purple haired magician. The little devil raises her hand to touch where her heart is, and can feel it beating.

"Why is my . . ." she trails off as she knows what the answer might be. "Could I be . . . in love with Patchouli?" She quickly shakes her head as she puts her hands on her cheeks. "No, no, no! That can't be possible, right? I mean, I am her familiar, but . . ." She blushes even more as she sits down on a chair. "No . . . it's all clear. I'm in love with Lady Patchouli."

A/N: I know it's short, but it will get better. To be honest, I had written this story before, but had to delete it because I felt that it needed to be written a bit better. So, I hope it is. Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review! ;)
