Chapter 9 – What he wants to protect

Yuya continued to run. She didn't know where to and she didn't care. The tears made it hard to see, but she didn't care to wipe them away.

She didn't know how long she had forced her legs to move further away from what she loved the most. But she couldn't believe that Kyo was that broken.

She was so worried and she wanted to do anything to get her Kyo back. At the same time, she was a little pissed off.

After all the things I did for him. I was about to die! But still I was stupid enough to believe him! And every time I was right! I'll always believe in him! But why...? Why does he put himself in the corner? Why does he...?

There were so many questions. Yuya fell down on her knees.

"Kyooo..." she cried.

The time passed by.

She didn't recognized the person that came down the road. She didn't know that this place was a popular passing spot for nasty men.

She realized it a little to late.

"Oh, and why is this little missy crying here?"

Yuya raised her head and felt panic grow.

The man smelled like sake and he wasn't much to say hurray for. He looked gross.

"Oh, you are pretty! Why don't we get to know each other better?"

Yuya reached after her gun, but to realize it wasn't there. And she didn't have any other weapon. She was out somewhere on a road, completely alone, with a stranger (that apparently wasn't a good guy) completely defenseless.

"G-get away." she said, her voice shaking.

The gross man just smirked and stroke her over the cheek. Yuya flew back on her feet.

"Don't you touch me!"

The man laughed. Yuya felt more tears coming up.

Kyo!

The man took a few steps against her. She didn't have the power to run or to do anything at all.

Kyo!

The man was just about to reach out his hand towards her.

She cried.

"KYOOO!"

The man's stench was horrible. Yuya felt so weak, so powerless. Her scream had taken the last trace of energy out of her.

The man smiled widely. His voice gave her chills.

"Sooo pretty. You're mine!"

As the man was reaching for her, he stopped. He stared with fear at something behind her. He was shaking.

"D-D-Demon..." he whined.

Yuya turned around. Her heartbeats grew faster.

A Demon was standing with a long sword over his shoulder. He was glaring at the man with burning red demonic eyes.

As the man stepped backwards, the Demon got a big grin on the lips. The Demon began to walk towards the man. The aura the Demon released could make the gods tremble in fear. However, to Yuya it felt warm and comfortable.

"What's wrong?" the Demon said to the man.

"Can't face the punishment of making a Demon angry?"

The man cried.

"O-Onime no K-Kyo..."

The Demons smile grew.

"That's right! I'm also called the strongest."

The Demon stopped in front of the man and looked down.

"You see..." he began.

"...my blade has become quite rusty later on... Why don't we try if he still can cut?"

The man was paralyzed in fear. Kyo stopped right in front of him.

"I'll tell you one thing..." his nose were just inches from the gross man's and his eyes were burning with a desire to kill.

"Don't you ever dare to make my woman cry again." his voice was so low that it almost didn't count as a whisper.

The man screamed. He flew around and ran as quick as his legs could bear him.

"Tch, weakling!"

As he turned around Kyo got tackled by Yuya. She hugged him so tight that he almost lost breath. She was shaking a little. He hugged her, relieved to have her in his arms.

"Yuya..." he whispered.

"Couldn't you let me cut him? You sure are getting soft!"

Kyo flinched. He glared at the sword.

"Shut up Tenrou, or I'll kick your ass!"

Yuya stepped back and stared at him. Kyo glared at his sword for a couple of seconds before he, a little forcefully, put the sword back in it's sheath.

"Stupid mutt..." he muttered.

Yuya laughed. Kyo raised an eyebrow.

Is this the right time to laugh?

"That's my Demon!" she said.

She wiped the tears that was gathered in her face.

"That's right! This is the way you should be! This is you! You're my Kyo!"

Her big emeralds looked straight into his soft red.

She spoke again.

"I believe in you! No matter what, I'll always believe in you! And I know that you can win! You can win against anything or anyone! May it be a beast, a demon or a stupid clan. You're the strongest! Don't give up that title!"

Kyo smiled.

"Thank you, Yuya." he said in a soft voice.

Kyo glared at her cheek. He stroke his hand over it.

"That filthy bastard... To even dare to touch you..." he growled.

Yuya closed her eyes to his touch.

"But you're here now, right? Then it doesn't matter."

Kyo studied her face. Once again he got that feeling. Something was different. Yuya was herself, completely, but something was still... different. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. Her smile was wonderful. It was so... bright. Kyo felt how his heart was taken away. He wanted nothing more than her keeping that smile.

He lent down and placed a kiss on her mouth. Yuya shot her eyes open in surprise but then she kissed him back. It had been so long since she tasted his lips. She ran her fingers through his long red hair, it felt soft as silk.

She didn't know how much she had missed this. To be embraced by her demon, to feel his warmth, to feel his lips against hers, to feel safe in his arms. She had missed him.

"Yuya..."

He held her face against his.

"I want you to be happy."

She looked at him for a long time. There was something in her expression. Kyo once again wondered.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a soft voice.

"Kyo... there's something I need to tell you..."

His expression was soft and caring. His eyes was curious.

"I visited the doctor as I promised..."

"And?"

"Kyo... It's... Wonderful..."

He stared as she got tears in her eyes. Immediately he felt worried. But as she smiled brightly he got confused.

"Kyo... I'm... I'm pregnant..."

Silence.

He stared.

Her tears slowly found their way down her cheeks. She had been crying so much these weeks. But now, there was tears of joy. Kyo's expression wasn't possible to read.

"Kyo... We're having a baby..."

Kyo felt how the world slowly disappeared from his mind. He forgot everything. He just saw himself and Yuya in a field of white. She stood right in front f him. She was crying and her words were still hanging in the air. He felt his heartbeat.

"K-Kyo?" Yuya asked, worried as she saw his face turn to shock.

Then she gasped in shock as he drag her into a warm embrace. His head was leaning against her shoulder. Her talked in her hair.

"Yuya... You..." he didn't know what to say.

So as a reply he placed a kiss on her temple. She looked up. His face was soft and he smiled. He looked so... relieved and happy. He carefully stroke the tears away.

"Yuya..."

No use wiping tears of joy. She cried into his chest so his cloth was completely wet. But he didn't care. He just kept embracing her.

"Kyooo... I'm pregnant... I'm pregnant!" she kept crying. He just continued to smile.

This was amazing. A baby... Yuya was carrying a baby. His baby!

...

He was Onime no Kyo, 'killer of a thousand men'.

Now, fear was fading away as he felt his strength grow along with what he wanted to protect. Now, he was fear.

And most of all he wanted to protect the woman in his arms.

Her and their unborn child.
