Eien shivered as he lay in his bed. He was sick again but not with the plague, thankfully. His Father had to get money to take care of him which meant that he had to work, so Yoru was around Eien all the time now.

The said demon walked into the redhead's room with a bowl of soup in his hands. "May I ask you a question, my prince?"

Eien narrowed his eyes at the raven-haired male. "No, you may not ever question me."

"Of course, my prince," Yoru replied as Eien sat up and took his soup from the demon.

The thirteen year old eyed the demon. "How old are you, demon?"

"I do not have an age, my prince," Yoru replied as he tucked a napkin into the redhead's shirt.

"Fine, when and how did you die and when did you become a demon?"

Yoru paused for two seconds before standing up properly. "I died from my lover suffocating me in my sleep; what time period it happened in, I'm not really sure. Though I remember waking up and I saw a man with red hair. This man was not the current ruler of the Underworld but his Father." Eien eyed the demon carefully.

"Go on," He demanded.

"I was not judged as a soul because I had done terrible things in my human life but I had an unfair death." The demon paused again.

"Just spit it out, demon, how did you become what you are now?" Eien didn't even bother eating his soup, wanting the man to continue.

"So, because of the horrid things I had done while I was a human I was turned into a demon, but not against my will. I wanted to live once more and the Devil granted me that. Though he did it just to cause some havoc for fun." Yoru gave a small smirk.

"How old were you when you died?"

"I think I was nineteen, though I cannot be sure."

"What happened to your so-called lover?" Eien pried.

Yoru smirked. "The moment I got to Earth, I found her and ate her soul." He gave a content sigh, "It was wonderful~"

Eien stared at the demon thoughtfully. "Do you eat souls often?"

"Only when I am not needed. I have to eat something to survive."

"So if I said, 'Don't eat another soul again', you would have to listen to me?"

The demon smirked. "Of course, my young prince."

Eien sighed. "Good to know, now go away." He began to eat his soup as Yoru bowed and left.

-Night-

Eien groaned as he rolled around in his bed, clutching at his stomach. What had the demon fed him? "Demon." Nothing happened. "Yoru!" He called.

He felt a wind and the demon was there. "Yes, my prince?"

"What did you feed me?!" Eien demanded as he sat up with a wince. He glared at the demon who just stared at him impassively.

"You told me to make you some soup; what kind you did not request, but I made it with herbs and carrots."

Eien growled and stood up on the floor. "Where is my Father?"

"He is still working at the moment, my prince."

The redhead bared his teeth. "Why am I in pain, demon-"

"You have given me a name, and I prefer you use it, my prince," Yoru almost demanded.

Eien's eyes widened. "Are you telling me to do something, demon?"

The demon's eyebrows furrowed. "My prince-" He never got to finish as there was the sound of breaking glass in the kitchen.

"Who's that?" Eien demanded. Yoru moved in front of his master, just enraging him. "Move out of the way," He demanded.

"I am sworn to protect you, my prince." Eien just growled and shoved his way past the demon and left his room. "My prince-"

"Shut up," Eien ordered as he walked into the kitchen. "Who are you?" He asked as he saw a man silhouetted in the moonlight. The man moved quickly and before Eien could blink he was pulled back from the attack. He fell back into awaiting arms who held him with great care.

"Your orders, my prince?" Eien froze when he saw a gun in the man's hand. He couldn't find his voice at all, he just shook with fear. The man held the gun up and pulled the trigger. Eien closed his eyes, waiting to be back in the Underworld, dead. He felt a breeze in his hair and wondered why there was a wind in the Underworld. He opened his eyes and glanced around, almost screaming as he saw he was on top of a spire of the tallest building in the village. He clung to whatever was closest to him which happened to be Yoru holding him.

"Wh-what are you doing?! Why are we up here?!"

Yoru sighed. "You never gave orders to do anything so I took you to the safest place I knew of." The wind blew harshly and Eien shivered.

"Why is this safe? We could fall!"

Yoru almost looked offended as he looked at Eien. "Why would we fall when I control the winds?"

There was a flash of red and Eien saw his Father standing on top of a nearby spire, that was shorter. "Is there a reason why you two are up there?" He asked, glaring at the duo.

Eien still continued to shiver but he managed to get the words out. "Someone was in the house and Yoru took me here!"

Sasori sighed. "Take Eien home, and dispose of the man, Yoru." And Sasori was gone in a flash, Eien having no idea where he was going.

Yoru sighed. "Off we go," He commented unenthusiastically. He stepped off the spire and Eien screamed as they fell towards the ground. He clung to the demon's neck and closed his eyes, expecting to die with a fall. Though in a few seconds, all he felt was a gentle breeze. He opened his eyes and realized that they were actually gliding through the air. The shock of flying scared Eien so much that he cling harder, digging his nails into the demon's flesh.

"Put me down, put me down!" He commanded.

Yoru frowned. "You would die, my young prince~" His voice was like the wind itself. That when Eien noticed the demon wasn't fully materialized; he was the wind though he could still touch him. His eyes looked like there was an actual storm in his silver hues and Eien shivered once more.

"Just hurry up then," He almost whimpered, burying his face in the demon's neck.

-Morning-

When Eien woke up in the morning, he didn't remember when he got home just that he did. He sat up, realizing he wasn't sick anymore and almost sighed with relief.

Though how did he get home? It was night time... Night. Yoru! Eien almost growled as he remembered that the demon had taken him to the sky and then began to fly home. Eien did not really need that experience.

"You had put his life in danger."

"I was only taking him somewhere safe, my King."

"Safe? That might've been safe for you, but not him." Eien realized it was his Father and Yoru. They were arguing about him? He got out of bed and pressed his ear against the door. "Unless he actually orders you to take him there, don't do it again." Eien realized his Father was angry.

"Yes, my King."

Eien almost snickered as he left his room. He found Sasori and Yoru in the living room but he just walked past them, going to get some food. The demon gave a small smirk as he saw the young redhead.

"How are you, Eien?" His Father asked.

The younger redhead shrugged. "I'm not sick. Can I go outside now?"

Sasori sighed. "No."

"Then what will I do?" Eien asked as he got a pear from the table before biting into it.

"You could continue your learning lessons."

Eien narrowed his eyes at his Father. Even in the Underworld Sasori had still taught him things. He almost regretted asking the man to teach him how to read and write. "I think I know enough," He protested after he swallowed his bite of pear.

The Devil sighed. "Fine, it's an order. Learn some more, Yoru will help you."

Eien wasn't very surprised. "Why would a demon know how to read?"

"He's been around a long time, Eien, I'm sure he can read."

The younger redhead just took another bite of his pear. "Why can't I just read a book?"

Sasori sighed. "Just learn, Eien. I have to go to work, alright? Be good and don't make Yoru do anything stupid. Understood?"

Eien frowned. "Yes, Father."

Sasori nodded and left, leaving the thirteen year old with the demon.

Today my brother was riding our fixed four-wheeler and offered to give me a ride. I think it's been around five years since I had written a motorcycle and I found out I'm a wimp XD I only rid for two minutes and I kept on yelling at him to not do something ^_^"

Yeah, I'm not eleven anymore XD
