Alric opened his eyes to see Rin underneath him. His eyes widened as she rested in a pool of blood. For some reason it startled him that blood was getting in her hair. "That'll be mess," he through stupidly. He watched her, horrified but then he noticed her breasts heaving. She was breathing. Relief raced through his entire being. He got up off her and felt his own heart, feeling the intense speed. A speed beyond any he had felt, even in battle. Fear. Not for his life but for this girl's. He looked her over, her naked body was beautiful. He left his hands stroke over her flesh, not seeing the wound. Then he decided to flip her over. He bent down and laid down his yukata. He lifted her up and laid her face down on his clothing. He was smiled how she so easily slept through the disturbance. He looked down from her neck, over her shoulders, then her back. His jaw dropped as blood was so openly spilling from a wound above her ass. He moved his hand down to wipe away some of the blood and saw the letter "H" carved into her.

"Rin," he said quietly and morbidly. It was an old scar and it looked like it had opened several times over the years. But this seemed impossible. Rin started to stir; she turned her head to look over her shoulder to watch Alric.

"Hello," she said silently and softly. Alric admired her tone, her pitch. She was no demon, in appearance in any way. She was angelic in her design. Her cat like ears and tail were the only thing that portrayed her demon attributes.

"You're bleeding," was all he could muster. His voice seemed harsh in his ears, almost injured, pained. Rin looked at the puddle of blood and her expression became weary and sensitive.

"I know," she avoided his glance as she looked away.

"Why?" Alric asked as calmly as possible.

"This… always happens when I have sex," her answer was one of a girl who had grown used to misery. Alric watched her as she slightly recoiled, bringing her legs up to her chest defensively. "A fetal position… an angel to be reborn to live a life worthy of her," Alric thought, he was attached to this thought. Alric ripped off a piece of his yukata and began to clean up the scar.

"I was claimed when I was little…" Rin said as she looked off, flashbacks plaguing her mind. "Like a sex slave to a cold man… a cruel man… a sick man," she stressed that word. She had had enough experience to be able to describe him in such a way. Alric continued to clean the open wound, watching Rin's empty, distant expression.

"Haku," Rin said and Alric froze. His heart was beating at that pace again. "That was his name…"

Alric felt a cold sickness build in his stomach. His eyes welled with hurt. He felt responsible for Rin's misery. Because Haku… was his father.

Alric knew he was a vicious man, an awful man; but he never had imagined him being so sick. Rin's word fit best. Swallowing became difficult. He looked down and noticed he had dropped the cloth and Rin watched him fixedly. He looked away, knowing all his pain was displayed on his face. Rin sensed the tension and stood up. She reached over, grabbed her clothes and began getting dressed. "It's not my problem," she thought coldly and forcefully. Rin wanted to care but she forced herself to. Emotions led to weakness. Alric watched her, her moves were swift and graceful; he felt unworthy to even look on at her beauty. "Angel," he thought again. He felt as if he could cry, this feeling he couldn't place himself. He first felt a light burning sensation in his eyes and then felt his jaw clench. Alric felt that if he opened his mouth everything would end. His time with Rin, his dignity… But he feared that he would lose any of her trust he had spent all this time gaining; she would hate him. Despise for his father welled inside him. He was angry and frustrated at the thought of losing Rin. Just as Alric felt himself losing his control a man wandered out of the bushes.

"Kengi! I see people!" called out the voice of the man. He was smiling goofily and both Rin and Alric looked around hearing another name but not seeing anyone. He was a younger boy, completely human, maybe the age 20. His hair was brown and his eyes, which struck Rin as rather unusual, a light blue, almost white but the tint was still there. The man walked over and held out his hand.

"I'm Shinta and this is Kengi!" Shinta held out his hand to his side after his handshake was refused as if motioning to introduce this Kengi. Again, the space was empty. Alric was slightly disturbed by Shinta's belief that there was a being there and he appreciated how this feeling put his others on hold. Rin watched Shinta wearily, not trusting him at all.

"You're a pretty demon, girl! Can I fuck you, demon girl?" Rin's face showed shock and Alric's heart felt anger. Alric felt possessive all of a sudden. Shinta walked over, Rin didn't move she feared no human. Shinta watched her with his goofy smile.

"I like your big breasts! I don't fuck living things unless they have HUGE breasts! Lucky you!" He said smiling. Rin became slightly fearful of this. "I don't fuck living things…" repeated in her head.

"Don't worry! Kengi doesn't like sex very much so he won't fuck you with me if that's what you're worried about!" Shinta continued. Rin looked around searching for this Kengi. Nothing.

"This could only be better if you were dead!" Shinta smiled, "After I finish I'll kill you and just have to fuck you again, demon girl!"

"He's insane," both Alric and Rin thought.
