AN: Ok someone decided to point out that Harry was being very submissive and that he had no reason to be yelled at and that he was being punished unfairly. Look guys in the demon world the rules you know kno longer apply. This is a whole new territory and things are different.
Chapter Ten
Harry glanced to either side of him as they walked down the forest path. His guards were very quiet and stiff. Pausing in his step he crossed his arms and the two stopped to look at him expectantly.
The teen smiled softly, "What are your names?"
The two guards looked at each other before peering back at him silently.
"What you can't talk to me?"
The two shrugged and shook their heads, no.
"Then tell me your names at least, I hate silence its suffocating I swear."
The blonde bowed polity his voice was surprisingly soft, "I am Kaiser this is my brother Lais."
The brunette bowed politely and Harry smiled, "and I am Hadrian it is very nice to meet the both of you."
The three continued on their way and Harry smiled looking about him. A scream ran through the air and Harry frowned before darting off towards the sound the two guards directly behind him. Busting into the glen he saw a small fox kit cowering against a rock from a rather large serpent. The snake was easily ten feet in length its body coiled and ready to strike. A cut marred its beautiful red and white scales as its golden eyes blazed with anger.
The male kit cried loudly and Harry jumped foreword not heading the words of the guards to keep back. Walking toward the snake he crouched low and raised his hand in a non threatening manner gaining the snakes attention immediately. It was then the teen noticed that one of the snake's fangs was broken and its one eyes was scarred shut.
Smiling gently at the snake he whispered gently, "Calm brother what troubles you?"
He felt the two guards behind him freeze up even the snake and child seemed to be staring at him like he had two heads.
The bright red and white scales shimmered as the serpent began to sway side to side its tongue flicking out as it spoke its voice soft and surprisingly female, "Speaker, why do you interfere!
"You where about to injure a child how could I not?"
The snake hissed angrily rearing up further fangs exposed, "He tried to steal my eggs!"
Harry frowned and turned to the young kit, "Sweetie where you attempting to take the snakes eggs?"
The two guards stepped up to his sides as the boy nodded with a whimper.
The teen nodded, "the child is hungry dear sister he did not know better. Couldn't you forgive this once?"
The snake hissed and turned toward the small kit and hissed darkly before lowering herself to the ground though angry she no longer looked ready to kill and Harry was thankful. Coiling together she turned and slid back to a small hole beneath the rock the child had been standing at disappearing beneath it but Harry just new she was already coiling about her eggs protectively.
Turning to the kit he picked him up and smiled, "Alright little kit where are your parents."
The two guards turned to him before the blonde spoke, "He smells nothing of parental guidance. Perhaps he has none?"
Harry smiled brightly, "Oh is that correct little one?" When he received a small nod Harry smiled, "Alright then I will look after you!"
Three sets of eyes turned on him in an instant all three wide with shock. Turning back to the bath he was stopped by a hiss. Turning the four watched as a large palm sized egg was rolled out of the hole and towards Harry's foot gently. Bending down he picked up the egg feeling the hard warm shell smiling gently and whispered a soft thank you. The kit smiled at the egg with a yip of happiness.
The two guards' shook their heads as the teen went back to the path and down the road till they reached the market place. Even for a demon one it was bustling with activity. Though he was not surprised to find young demons being sold as slaves but he knew he could say nothing. His two companions stepped closer as they traveled along and Harry stopped at one stall withKimonos and Hakamas.
The lady behind the stall looked suspiciously like a raccoon demon. Lifting a few pieces of clothes that looked as if they would fit the kit he smiled and picked up two pairs of pants and two small sashes to match turning to the lady, "How much fine madam?"
The woman peered at the clothes and scoffed, "Three bronze for the lot."
Harry smiled sweetly feeling the egg press against his shirt from inside the sash, "Oh fine lady such a price, how kind of you."
The woman blushed brightly and giggled, "Oh just take it for one, such a sweet boy."
Harry smiled and pulled out a small bronze coin from his bag and handed it to the lady receiving a leather sack with the clothes inside. Murmuring his thanks he slipped on buy holding the kit on his back before pausing at another few stalls gathering things for the beautiful blonde kit he had found. Oh how beautiful the kit was with his bright purple eyes.
Smiling at the two guards he gestured it was time to go back as he purchased a small furred basket with a lid and several toys for the small kit that now laid sleeping in his arms. It was such a joy to care for something.
Nodding toward the guards they began to head back towards the castle and were happy to get no trouble on the way. They even escorted him all the way to his room before the eldest broke off claiming he would return shortly.
Setting the small Kit on the bed Harry smiled and held out his hand, "Sorry for all the fuss earlier. My name is Hadrian what's yours little one?"
The kit looked up with wide amethyst eyes, "Mama called me Pem."
Harry ruffled the kits hair before picking him up and walking into the bathing room. Filling the tub he climbed in with the kit. Who seemed content with just swimming around lazily. It was a joy to just sit back and watch the kit swim about, even more exciting to bathe him. The kit loved being washed behind the ears and along the stomach much like a normal fox.
Stepping out of the bath he dried himself and the kit off before dressing the kit in a deep green Hakama and white Tabi(1) a lighter green obi(2) around his waist. He was so glad he had helped Yukina dress at times and had been taught well. Smiling he let the kit lay down in the bed before he wrapped himself in a robe and began to carefully set the snake egg in the basket and by the window to keep warm.
Turning at the soft knock the door opened to his hand maiden and the two guards one of which held a bundle in his arms. Smiling he sat on the bed pulling the kit onto his lap. The woman rushed up and took the kit looking him over extensively before smiling.
Kaiser stepped forward and unwrapped the bundle to show a furred carrier that looked to strap onto the chest and he smiled, "My mate used it to carry around our pups when they were young. Perhaps it can help you as well?"
Lais nodded, "My mate also says if you need any tips she has a wonderful book and is willing to help as well! She is pregnant with our second child."
Harry smiled brightly, "Thanks so much. Pem is such a sweet kit it will be wonderful having a little one to take care of!"
Pem turned and laughed at Harry brightly before jumping from the handmaidens arms to the teens shoulder giving the blushing cheek a small kiss his small voice full of joy, "Mama! Madam Kisa is ganna get me some crayons and paper! Isn't that awesome!"
The teen giggled at the kits happiness, "Of course sweetie. Then maybe I can teach you a few things yes?"
Pem smiled, "Can I learn how to fight?"
Harry's eyes widened, "Perhaps in a few years. Enjoy being a child a little longer yes?"
The other three smiled at the scene even as a tall ogre looking yokai rushed in with a message handing it to Kaiser before bowing and leaving.
Harry turned to look at the blonde demon, "What's wrong?"
The demon protector frowned, "The master has left again it seems. He went to go speak with the Makai Lords and King. Probably to win favor once more. Poor Master has been trying endlessly for many months."
"How long will he be gone?" The hand maiden, Kisa, asked politely.
Kaiser shrugged, "Who knows normally it's a week, two tops. But I have heard rumors the third Yokai lord has returned so it could be longer."
Harry nodded, "Then we just have to be on our best behavior yes? Did he leave any orders for me?"
Kaiser nodded, "Yes he says you may go to the gardens with escort and the village once a week with the allowance he has set for you. Also he says you may bring things from the library if you wish."
The teen nodded and cuddled the kit to his chest, "Wonderful. Good to know the length of my leash," he smiled as the others all nodded before he frowned in thought and turned to look at Pem, "You know what little one. I think some self defense is appropriate. Perhaps Kaiser or his brother can give you a few pointers yes?"
Pem clapped happily his tail swaying behind him playfully as the two guards nodded in agreement.
Kisa smiled, "Perhaps you should also need training?"
Harry scoffed, "No thank you Genkai pretty much covered that and Hiei is rough enough I don't need any more demons using me as a pin cushion."
The four demons turned to stare at him before Lais finally spoke, "You where taught by Lady Genkai and General Hiei?"
Harry nodded, "Kurama and Yusuke as well. They are pretty rough when it comes to training but I am pretty sure I could take down at least a high B class to Low A class demons."
The two guards snorted and looked at each other before Lais spoke, "I don't think our Master knows what he has gotten into. Kaiser and I are both middle A class. Perhaps we could spar sometime as long as no harm comes to you I am sure it will be fine."
Harry nodded before yawning, "Alright I am getting cold standing here in a robe and it is growing late perhaps we could talk in the gardens tomorrow?"
The guards nodded before bowing and leaving the room. Kisa immediately ripped the robe off him scaring the poor kit to the bed while she proceeded to put him in a soft mint green yukata (3). The rest of the night went on as normal without the master looming.
