chapter 2

slowly Yami awoke still in his child-like state of mind sitting up and stretching out his tail unwrapped from his leg to sway gently behind him. Hikari was in a chair contemplating what he should do when Yami looked at him his new two toned eyes drawing him in as growing guilt grew double the size of how he treated him but he suppressed it as he got up taking Yami's wrist and pulled him to the bathroom. "Yami when you leave this room you are to stay quiet no talking whatsoever or you will be punished." pushing Yami into the shower and cleaning him noticing that Yami's body had changed slightly more female than male. Yami's eyes glowed golden once more as he placed his hand on Hikari's arm as memories and information flashed. "that's how long I slept almost ten thousand years have passed since my last incarnation died. Ra what has the world fallen into?" Yami spoke perfectly his mind now complete with his older human part and his childish demon part now one in mind and soul. "Até is here?" Yami spoke in surprised with glee shining in his eyes at seeing his Kkwy so close yet so far.

Hikari nodded as he dressed Yami in a crimson amethyst shirt that had seen through sleeves and black leather pants. thin wisps of shadows gently formed silver patterns that changed in the light to a bright rose gold color as a small silver eye formed on Yami's forehead hanging from a silver chain. Hikari just rolled his eyes at the shadow's playful demeanor around the newborn demon. clipping a chain to Yami's collar that survived the transformation he spoke his conditions to the teen "remember Yami no speaking to anyone or using your magic during the meeting." Yami nodded as a light tug on the chain told him once again where to go with his black tail swaying behind him but for some reason, he felt very very hot.

they walked to the meeting hall doors which opened slowly letting Yami look at the demons recognizing a few and their positions as Hikari pulled him to sit on a pillow with nothing to do. his tail swayed behind him as other unmated male demons started getting hot under the collar as Yami got an idea inwardly smirking as he started releasing more of his intoxicating scent into the room. that is until a small firm hand tightened on his shoulder breaking his concentration as he glared up at Hikari for ruining his fun. Atemu watched the interaction wondering why no one has brought up how Yami had changed to a demon (because no one else can see but those who had a connection with our past lives or if I want them to see, my Pharaoh.) Atemu's eyes widened at Yami's voice in his head speaking in the sacred tongue of the demon kind. 'did he just call me a King?' Atemu thought as the head demon called in a break for lunch.

Yami watched the flustered males wearily seeing some already starting to let their eyes wonder over his form. a hand shot out grabbing is arm making him lose his focus on his illusion as he hissed at the other male his tail swaying dangerously warning all in the room. "Lord Hikari why is one of our kin chained like a human?"

"because he is not of our kin but a hybrid his demon side had just woken last night." Hikari said smoothly struggling to hold Yami back from attacking the demon who touched him feeling the power rolling off the boy in waves. the silver haired demon in front of Yami mearly smiled "then Lord Hikari I challenge your Crimson Jewel to a mating ritual in the arena if I win I claim your Jewel as my prize."

"You need not speak to him but to me I accept and if I win I wish to go free and go with my true mate." Yami spoke startling thoughts who never heard him speak much less with such boldness. "fine I will see you in the arena in fifteen minutes." Pegasus said leaving in a huff of anger seeing as Yami's eyes were full of amusement than fear "it will take more than a hatchling's attempts to make me bow down with out a fight. this body maybe that of a child's but my powers a far older than they appear to be." Yami said amusement in his voice as they walked towards the arena for the ritual "this will be fun."
