Pinkshuchan: LALIHO! Hey everyone! This is Pinkshuchan! It's been a while since I updated Demon Lover, but I've returned with the next chapter. Last chapter, Shuichi got permission by Tohma to get time off to go to New York, unaware that Yuki had already talked to Tohma ahead of time. Tohma began to feel that something is wrong with Yuki, considering he is doing a lot more for Shuichi than a demon should. What will happen next? Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 9

My Forbidden Lover

The rest of the day went smoothly for Bad Luck after Shuichi talked with Tohma as he explained to the others the plan for the two months ahead. With these in mind, they gained enough determination that would help them through the rest of the day and the next two months. When the day was over, they all left for home, not realizing that Tohma was watching them leave from his office window. More specifically, he was staring at Shuichi. There was something about the pink haired male that made him question why Yuki would be so infatuated by him. Except for his appearance, Shuichi didn't really have anything that made him look unique even to the ordinary demon. So why did someone like him change someone like Yuki in that way?

"Spying on your employees just as they leave for home I see."

Tohma didn't need to look behind him to know who it was talking to him. He didn't even jump. Instead, he just smirked. "Are you jealous that I would be spending more time here pretending to be normal hardworking human boss that worries if his employees get picked up from strangers in front of the building, Mika?"

Mika was standing at the door with her arms crossed. "We both know that's not the case," she replied, "You're wondering about the human Eiri made a contract with."

The archdemon turned around and walked over to the archdemoness. "That is exactly why I wanted to talk to you. Eiri was here earlier today and he wanted me to do a lot in order to make his human happy, much more than any demon would want."

"I don't see the problem in it."

"That's not all. When I asked him, he replied that he wanted to make his human's soul delicious enough for him to eat, but that wasn't the response I got from looking at his expression. It was something completely different; it was the look of love."

"Love?" Mika asked, her expression still the same, "What's wrong with that?"

That caught Tohma off guard. "'What's wrong?' Mika, don't you realize what this means? When a demon falls in love with a human, the demon becomes unstable. If Eiri is in love, he can't keep his priorities straight. When the time comes when he completes the contract, he will have to eat his human's soul, and then after eating the soul belonging to the human, he goes insane to the point where he may want to rid himself."

Mika just raised an eyebrow. "Tohma, I'm sure he won't go through those extremes, but I agree that Eiri might become unstable," She walked over to Tohma's desk and sat down on top of it. "That is, unless his needs are met."

"And what do you mean by that Mika?" Tohma asked as he followed the archdemoness.

"Eiri is in love, so he needs to be loved in return."

Now Tohma was really confused. "Mika, that is impossible! Demons cannot be loved!"

"Can they?" Mika got off the desk and walked over to the archdemon with lust in her eyes. "If I remember correctly, I've heard that demons can be loved by humans, if the human can really feel that way. And you know what results with both human and demon in love." She then leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the lips, which Tohma responded with deepening the kiss. They kissed for a while until Tohma pulled back.

"But will Eiri regret it?" he asked her.

She smirked. "I think that's a question to ask to the demons that already had it happen to them." Tohma didn't hesitate after that. After Mika's answer, he pushed her to the desk and began making love to her.

Two months later, the night before Shuichi had to leave for New York; there was a concert that Bad Luck needed to perform in. Yuki had a feeling that Ryoma Shindo's men were planning something, something that if they played it right and managed to save themselves from the golden haired demon in time to fulfil their mission, Shuichi might really fall by their hands this time. He warned Shuichi of this and they made a plan of their own, one that if they played it right, Shuichi would still survive. They managed to get everything ready so all Shuichi had to do was worry about how he looked on stage in front of his fans and Yuki had to worry about Ryoma's men.

The time had come when those exact men came to the concert hall. They were warned about all the things that the other assassins that tried to kill Shuichi witnessed, the fact that men died mysteriously, and the survivors' cries about a 'golden demon'. Knowing this in mind, they hesitated to take on the job but they needed it. They made sure to watch their back, knowing that if there was a golden demon, they would be ready. And indeed, they were greeted by Yuki, who was standing there, ready for them to make a move.

The men kept trying to shoot at him with their guns, but ended up unsuccessful as Yuki kept dodging them without a single mark on his pale skin. Most of the men kept shooting at him while a few of them managed to sneak into the concert hall. Yuki knew they would do something like that, but he wasn't worried. In fact, he had planned for that.

The men that had managed to get past Yuki were walking through the concert hall, finding a good place where they can shoot at Shuichi and kill him. They looked around until they felt something swift by them. When they saw in front of them, a bullet hole could be seen in the wall in front of them. Frightened, they slowly turned around to see what looked like a scary foreigner with a magnum.

"Now now!" he spoke to them in English before switching to Japanese, "You wouldn't dare ruin the band's performance now would you?" The assassins were about to run until they bumped into what looked like a typical Japanese business man with glasses and carrying a really sharp looking katana.

"If you don't have a ticket to see Bad Luck, then you should leave," said the business man, "Leave now or we shall force you."

They were trapped both ways, but that didn't mean they were hopelessly trapped yet. That was, until a girl wearing big round glasses came holding a giant bazooka. Standing beside her looked like a human sized robot panda with an evil look on its face. She laughed.

"It's no use boys!" she explained, "You're pretty much screwed!" She gestured to her panda. "Do you like it? I designed it myself. Go my creation! Get rid of those guys, but please keep it quiet. We don't want anyone to get distracted by this and ignore Pretty Shuichi Shindo and the band."

No one even knew that the men that snuck in the building died in there. That was, except for K, Sakano, and Reiji, who were a part of it, Yuki, who knew the men would sneak in, and Shuichi, who trusted everything to Yuki and the others. The concert ended up a success as always and Bad Luck was still popular. The only thing they really had to worry about was the press that were waiting for them.

"Mr. Shindo," one of the reporters called to Shuichi, "Your band Bad Luck has pulled off another successful concert, didn't they? How does it feel to be one of the most successful bands in Japan?"

Before Shuichi could answer, another reporter called to him. "Mr. Shindo," said the reporter," It is rumoured that you're still going out with Mr. Eiri Yuki even though a year has passed. Is there a possibility that there is more to your relationship than meets the eye?"

Shuichi began feeling a little uncomfortable with that, but couldn't give an answer because a third reporter called out to him. "Mr. Shindo, there are rumours that say that Mr. Yuki may be just using you just for his selfish ways. Do you support them?"

That only made Shuichi feel worse. He wanted to say things to them but they kept crowding him with so many questions. He felt like he was going to get a headache. Then, he heard a familiar voice calling to the reporters to stop crowding the pink haired singer with questions. Shuichi knew that voice really well and was grateful for it. Pulling him away with the reporters following was Yuki, but they eventually managed to get away by hiding in an alleyway.

When the coast was clear, they ran back to the apartment. Once they got in, Shuichi walked to the couch and sat there. The reporters' words made him wonder something; what did he mean to Yuki? Was he really important to Yuki? They ended up together because of the contract they made, but did he mean something more to the demon?

"Shuichi? Something wrong?" Yuki spoke up, breaking Shuichi from his concentration. The latter, out of reflex, just shook his head. That didn't stop the demon from walking over to him and sitting down beside him. He took the pink haired boy in his arms and held him.

"You better get some sleep," the demon continued, "We're heading to New York tomorrow." He carried Shuichi to the bed and was about to leave until he felt the human grab his sleeve.

"Yuki?" he spoke softly, "I'm cold. Will you warm me up?"

Yuki smirked before he climbed onto the bed so he was on top of Shuichi and began kissing him. He then began leaving his mark all over the pink haired boy's small body. Shuichi gasped with the pleasure of the spell he was put under because of the demon. But he knew the truth just as Yuki pleasured him. Every kiss, every touch, every soft caress the demon made, it wasn't of love. He did all that because of the contract. Everything Yuki did was because of the contract. Shuichi knew that Yuki wasn't human; that the demon wouldn't ever feel love for him, and yet, Shuichi didn't care. He didn't care if Yuki didn't feel anything for him as long as he could stay with him forever.

But then he began to wonder; what will happen once the contract is done?

Their romance couldn't last forever. It would all have to end as soon as Yuki kills Ryoma Shindo. But then what would happen? Despite what Yuki said when they first made the contract, Shuichi knew he would have to give his soul to the demon to be eaten. He knew, and at first he wasn't scared. But now, he was terrified. Even if it was Yuki eating his soul, he couldn't bear to let go of the warmth he felt when he was with Yuki. He loved the feeling he got when Yuki caressed him with warmth, and he wished not to let it go. All he wanted was to stay this way with Yuki for eternity, even if it sounded impossible.

He was so caught up in his thoughts; he didn't notice that Yuki was already entering him. His thoughts returned to the current event the moment he felt the pain of Yuki's cock in his ass.

"Shuichi, you okay?" Yuki asked out of concern.

The pink haired boy looked up into those golden cat eyes and nodded. "Please don't stop!"

Yuki didn't spare another moment and was thrusting in and out of his human lover. Shuichi held onto him tight, making sure not to let go. Oh how he wished that he could stay this way with Yuki forever, looking oh so in love even if Yuki didn't really feel that way. Thinking that caused tears to fall from Shuichi's eyes, which didn't go unnoticed by the demon.

"Shuichi?" It seemed like Shuichi was not himself. Yuki didn't know what it could be. Was he worried about New York or something? It caused pain for the demon to see tears fall from his lover's eyes. Even if it was for a short while, he wanted to make Shuichi the happiest he could be. He leaned closer to Shuichi while still thrusting inside of him and began kissing the tears away. They continued until they cried as they released their orgasm.

Yuki looked below him to see that Shuichi had already fallen asleep, as he always was whenever they finish having sex. Tonight, Yuki felt like holding Shuichi in his arms as the pink haired boy slept. He felt like he may not get another chance if he didn't. So that night, Yuki held Shuichi in his arms, never daring to let him go.

In New York, Tatsuha watched as his 'lover' looked out the window. He knew why though; because he was excited to see Shuichi. He then noticed his lover humming a tune, a tune that sounded like a sweet lullaby. Tatsuha's lover didn't miss the look the dark haired demon was giving him.

"My older sister used to always sing it to me when I couldn't go to sleep," he explained, "She told me that that song was to keep me from feeling lonely. Singing this lullaby makes me feel like she's still alive. I really miss her."

"She was important to you, was she?" Tatsuha asked.

His lover chuckled. "You could say so. But it wasn't just her, her husband and child were important to me too," He walked over to a small table and picked up a photograph. He looked at it. "I only saw her son once. He was still only a baby when I first saw him, and it was the last time I saw him before my sister and her husband died. But then… that bastard Ryoma!"

Tatsuha could hear sobs coming from his lover. He knew the pain he felt because of the man Ryoma. He wished he could do something to cheer the human up. He then heard something appear beside him.

"Tomorrow is going to be very eventful," said the voice beside Tatsuha, "Both for Master and for Shuichi Shindo."
