Rage: It was my twelfth birthday, I had dreams the few nights before about everything that was going to happen, I had been told how it would happen, but nothing prepared me for what did happen. When I woke up Inyu was there beside my bed holding my hand. His eyes were so sad while he looked at me. He had in his other hand my mother's bladed fans. I wonder what was wrong until I realized what day it was. I took a deep breath and smiled for him the best I could hoping it would make him feel a bit better.
He only nodded as he walked out my room and closed the door. I got changed into my gi slowly. I didn't want to do the ceremony at first, but I knew I had to. It was my Father's wish for me to become a half-demon. I grabbed my fans and headed outside the hut to start the ceremony. The first part was the least of my worries, I had to go out a kill three demons and bring back a piece of them. I brought back a wing from a moth demon, the fur of a weasel demon, and finally a heart of ogre demon. That took me a while considering most of the demon world knew what was happening that day. Then I had to go to the field in which my worst memory occurred, where my Father died.
Inyu was already there waiting for me to return. I threw the items I had collected to him and he nodded in satisfaction. Then he walked up to me and drew out his sword, transforming it into its full power. He said 'Draw you weapon Rage as you wish to become a half-demon'. I pulled out my fans and let one pop open, deadly knives pointing out of them. He bowed and as did I and then that's where it gets complicated.
Inyu and I as the Ceremony's rules state; you must fight to the death or until the normal one has succeeded in transferring the blood to themselves. Inyu readied himself to fight as he let one tear fall from his eye. He mouthed the words I love you to me before attacking me. The fight waged on for a few hours I had a few broken ribs, I was almost positive I had a concussion and my slashes all over my body. Inyu wasn't looking to good either I had managed to break his arm, pop his knee cap out of place, and cut him all over the place as well. Then that's when he
got me, one clean slice to my neck and he severed a major artery. I had only a few minutes before I would die. That's when I pulled my matrix movement and cut and long gash in his arm, I already had one on me bleeding freely.
That was when I knew I had to lock up with him or die. So with that I lunged at him and as he tried to strike me from the top, I sidestepped it and kicked him in the ribs. He growled at me coming for a straight attack and that's when I pushed up and locked with him. Demon blood is poisonous to normal ones but for me it attacked only part of it because part of it was already demon blood. I Knew how long we had to stay like that to make sure the process was complete but I didn't know if I was going to make it. My vision was blurry, fading in and out. My hearing was not possible anymore; my entire body was shutting down from all the blood loss. Inyu noticed what was going on and pressed on my arm even harder, screaming at me to not give up. I only had a few seconds left when I finally shut down completely. Then it was black and silent for what felt like a lifetime I sat in a dark room deeply within my own subconscious. I didn't know if I was dead or alive all I knew was that I was alone and weak. But then I awoke on the third day of being in a coma. My body was patched very poorly, with old rags and a wet cloth on my forehead. I sat up removing the cloth and only winced at the pain a little. I looked around my room and I found that there was a mirror in it walked over to it and almost fainted again. There was a demon in the mirror with wild hazel eyes, white fur, deadly claws and doggie ears. I realized this was like the dream I had had the very night before the ritual. I pulled of my left sleeve to find this scar there blood red and eight inches long.
That's when I heard Inyu walk into the hut and come into my room. He looked at me with wide eyes, a disbelieving look on his face. My eyes started to tear up as I ran to him into his arms. He took me in and held me close, then he picked me up and carried me to my bed and sat me down in his lap. He held me like that for a few hours as I cried forever it seemed. It was all over and I had the scar to prove it. No demon should mess with me and no normal should underestimate me.
Rage had gazed off into space for most of the time while she was telling the story. Shadow listened with an open mind and watched as her eyes began to tear up when she and her brother were beginning to fight. He paid attention to every little emotion she had felt as she told her story, but it became very difficult when she started to cry.
It became very difficult for Shadow to listened to her story for much longer. It hurt too much for him to hear what the love of his life had to go through just to become a half-demon. When she finally collected herself she looked back at Shadow waiting for an answer.
Shadow: Rage I…I… I am so sorry I had no idea. You emotions make so much more since now but, I didn't realize what actually happened. For you to only be twelve and have to fight your own brother to the death. That is not something you should have to have gone through Rage. Why is it that you have to suffer the most then only gain so little, to have to a pure soul and get treated like dirt. Rage I…
Rage: Shadow it was torture and suffering that I had to pay in order to get what I wanted but, it was all worth it.
Shadow: Rage how can you say that.
Rage: It lead me to you Shadow. It lead me to love and happiness with you. That was all I could ever want and more. You are worth going through that all over again and again. As long as I still find you.
Shadow sat there stunned, her brother had almost killed her and she said she would go through it all over again just to be with someone like him. There was no way he deserved this girl. She had been through so much and she was glad about it. Rage could sense that Shadow was uneasy about all this and she had figured he would be. But it was much better than the reaction she thought she might get. She scooted closer to him, laid her head on his shoulder, and snuggled up against him. She growled soothingly to get his attention. It worked as he looked down at her with tears in his eyes.
That was all she could take when she pulled him close and never let go. It was the first time she had ever seen Shadow cry. She didn't know if it was even possible for him to cry. She felt the wet droplets fall onto her gi and soak right through them to her fur.
Shadow: Rage I am truly sorry. I know how strong you really are thank you for telling me. I didn't want to ask but it seems too be a big part of your life that needed to be let out. I would have never guessed that it was that difficult to become a half-demon in the first place.
Rage: My father didn't intend for it to be like that either, but that is how life works out some times and it was for the better I would guess. I would much rather change from demon to normal form then have a time when I lose or gain my powers.
Shadow looked at her again she wasn't crying, or even feeling upset anymore. She was feeling relief and comfort, he could also tell that she was tiered.
Shadow: Rage you need to get some sleep you have to be up all day tomorrow and the night time.
Rage: You to Yang, you need sleep as well.
When they finished their snacks Rage pulled Shadow onto her back and jumped two stories high looking for a sturdy branch for Shadow to sleep in. When she found a thicker one she landed softly.
Rage: Here you are Shadow hope this is comfy enough for you.
Shadow: If will work perfectly, I wasn't expecting a five star hotel in a tree.
Rage giggled and turned to jump to the next tree, then Shadow grabbed her arm.
Shadow: And where do you think your going?
Rage: To the next tree to find a branch to sleep on.
Shadow: I don't think so, I am not letting you out of my sight. You will be sleeping with me.
Rage's checks burned bright red, while Shadow only blushed a little. Rage new that he was her love and her mate for life but she was still only sixteen, wasn't still a little to early for all that stuff. Shadow smirked at her embarrassment and pulled her closer to him.
Shadow: Rage I will never make you do anything you are not ready for. I don't want you to go through something like that. But you are my love and I don't want something coming and taking you away from me in the middle of the night. So for tonight sleep with me okay.
Rage: Okay Yang I will sleep with you.
Shadow smiled as he laid her down against his chest and he laid up against the tree. He waited until she got comfortable and listened for her heartbeat to slow, letting him know that she was asleep. When her heart rate did slow down Shadow wiggled around a little bit more to get himself comfortable. She was laying on top of him, so he rolled sideways a little wrapping his arms around her protectively and settled his chin on the top of her head.
Shadow: I love you my half-demon.
