Demon I did not know Ch 10

Morning came and the birds chirped outside the window. Hikari, flashed by sunlight, woke up and stretched herself. As usual, she got up from her bed and marched her way to Kyo's room. Once she arrived, she did not bother to knock because Kyo would always be asleep in the morning. She barged into his room, walked toward his bed, and started to wake him up. Despite her effort, he did not budge an inch. With no option, she resorted to using force. She grabbed his shirtless shoulder and began to shake him forward and backward. After much shaking, Kyo lazily opened his eyes.

"Good Morning, Kyo."

"Hey…"

Kyo yawned loudly and looked at Hikari directly.

"What's the matter?"

Kyo suddenly grabbed Hikari and dragged her down to the bed. Hikari was forced to scream because of this sudden attack. Hikari fell on top of Kyo and was forced to stay in that position because Kyo wouldn't let go of her.

"Come on, Kyo. Prank in the morning?"

"It's not prank. Ha ha. You just looked so cute. I couldn't help it."

"…whatever. Anyway, let me up."

"What if I say no?"

"I'll scream that I'm being raped."

"It's that your way of threatening?"

Kyo chuckled and grinned evilly.

"Come on. It's your turn to cook today. I'm hungry."

"I don't know how you managed to stay in a perfect body shape with that eating habit."

"Very funny. Now, please?"

"Okay okay."

Kyo released his arms, letting Hikari go. After Hikari had got off, Kyo rose up as well. He yawned loudly and walked to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. Hikari did nothing but staring at the TV screen that showed the news. While watching the news, Hikari's phone rang noisily, interrupting her TV time. She, then, muted the TV and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Hikari. It's Daisuke."

"Oh, hi."

"Are you busy today?"

"No. why?"

"Because we have a soccer game before school resumes, so I was wondering if you can come watch me and Ken."

"Ummm…hold on"

She took the phone away from her face and asked Kyo for plans. Kyo said there was none and she decided to go upon hearing his reply.

"Okay. I'll be there. When is it?"

"3 P.M. at the gym near our school. I'll see you then."

"Alright, bye."

After ending her phone conversation, she looked at the clock to see that it was 11 A.M. Then, she went to the dining room to enjoy Kyo's meal. It was an American breakfast. There were toasts, bagels, bacons, and scrambled eggs. Hikari enjoyed the food, for she rarely eat these type of dish.

"So Kyo, do you want to go to Daisuke's soccer game today?"

"Is that why you asked me if I had a plan?"

"Yeah."

"I'll go anywhere with you."

"Thanks, Kyo."

"So when are we leaving?"

"Maybe at 2:00"

"Why? Is that place far?"

"It's near our school, but I just want to say hi to some people. I haven't seen them in a while because the school was badly damaged for strange reasons."

"Alright then."

Hikari smiled and placed the finished plates into the sink.

"Kyo, what do you want to do until we go to the soccer game?"

"I feel like sleeping more."

Kyo faked a yawn after his statement.

"No, you won't. Watch TV with me."

"If you're going to watch one of those boring dramas…."

"I won't. I'm going to watch the news and maybe some anime."

"The news sounds boring, but okay. Just let me finish washing the dishes."

"Okay."

After that, Hikari headed towards the living room and un-muted the TV. Hikari blankly stared at the TV until Kyo was done with the dish and sat next to her. They both watched the TV until the anime broadcast was interrupted by a breaking news program.

"What's going on?"

Hikari questioned.

"I don't know let's watch."

After a short intro, the news reporter quickly spoke.

"We apologize for this interruption, but we face a serious threat right now in Japan. According to the witnesses, murders were occurred in the broad day light. Sources report that the murderer is some sort of a monster with large framed feather wings and piercing blood shot eyes."

After hearing his lengthy report, the news presented a live video clip of the incident. While watching the news, she repeatedly looked at Kyo because there was the same dark human figured devil that saved her.

"Kyo, what is this?"

When Hikari looked at him and asked the question, she saw that Kyo's face was turning pale. It looked like it shocked him. His eyes were focused on the ongoing broadcast of the video. Soon, there were police officers, trying to restrain the devil. However, chains and ropes did not hold it back long. A thundering noise was heard through the speakers of the TV.

"Belial! Belial! Belial!"

Hikari looked once again at Kyo.

"Is that the devil that's after you?"

"…"

He did not answer.

"Kyo? What's the matter?"

"I have to go now."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to stop him."

"Wait! Let me come!"

"I can't let you. Please stay here. It's too dangerous."

"But…"

"Just listen to me this time."

"No! I don't want you to get hurt!"

Kyo sighed and resumed talking calmly.

"I'm sorry, Hikari."

Kyo pointed his finger at Hikari and a cage appeared and trapped her.

"Kyo! What is this?"

"I'll be back."

Kyo did not answer Hikari and continued to ignore her words and opened a dark vortex in the room. After creating it, he walked through and disappeared into the darkness. Hikari reached out to Kyo, but she couldn't. However, in the process of trying to reach Kyo, the cage shattered as Hikari touched the cage bar. Determined to save Kyo from harm, Hikari dived into the closing portal of black energy. The transport of space was no different experience. It was similar to going into a room after opening the door. Upon her arrival, she examined her surroundings. She discovered that she was on a roof of a small apartment. She immediately headed for the edge of the building looked down at the street. When she did, she saw Kyo confronting the devil. After seeing him, Hikari ran for him without delay. The stairs were relatively short and she soon, arrived where Kyo was fighting the otherworldly being.

"Takeru! Control yourself! Have you lost your mind?"

Kyo shouted his identity, unaware of Hikari's presence. Hikari was shocked to hear this horrendous fact. She couldn't believe that the sinister devil was her beloved Takeru. A terrifying sense of guilt and betrayal washed over her. She now realized that Kyo had contact with Takeru all along. And she asked Kyo to date her. She couldn't begin to imagine how sad and terrible Kyo felt about dating Takeru's girlfriend. With all the new and depressing facts assaulting Hikari, she fell on her knees which made Kyo realize that Hikari had followed him.

"Hikari! How did you…"

His sentence was unfinished because Takeru had slashed his claws at Kyo's leg. Kyo led out a groan in pain.

"Takeru! What do you think you're doing?"

No matter what Kyo yelled at him, all Takeru did was continuing his rampage and laughing maniacally. The laugh was shrieking and devastating to hear. His laugh was similar to the scream of thousands of tortured people. With the leg injury and the unbearable scream, Kyo's movement was restricted to a movement that of a 5 year old kid. Takeru, then, charged at Kyo to shred him apart. It was a matter of beating the time. Hikari wanted to rescue Kyo and stop Takeru. So she ran with all her strength concentrated in her legs and wrapped her arms around Takeru's devil body. Then, she looked at the distance between Kyo and Takeru. Takeru's claws grazed Kyo's arm and made three shallow cuts. She made it in time. However, the crisis was not ended yet. Devilized Takeru still had to be stopped. Hikari quietly spoke out.

"Takeru, please stop this. Don't hurt anybody anymore."

At that moment, her hands glowed in bright light and soon touched Takeru. The light worked like a paint remover. Wherever the light touched, the devilized body of Takeru began to normalize. Both Hikari and Kyo were shocked at this sight. Takeru showed no sign of surprise in his face, for he was still not in control of himself. Soon, Takeru's whole body was normalized and his eyes returned to azure crystal and the body's colorlessness disappeared. Then, Hikari let go her arms and faced Takeru.

"Takeru…"

"…"

"Is that you?"

"H…Hikari…"

"I knew it. It is you!"

Tears dripped and flowed down her cheeks.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I…"

"After all these years, I thought you would tell me the reason at the least."

"…"

Takeru stayed quiet as Hikari continued to cry. Without a word, Takeru grabbed her shoulders and moved his face towards Hikari's face and tried to match his lips with hers. Hikari couldn't move. Rather, she did not want to. She looked at Takeru's face coming closer and closer. His face was so close and she could feel his hot breath. Hikari closed her eyes and prepared for a warm sensation on her lips. However, after many seconds, she did not feel anything. Thinking that it was strange, she opened her eyes and realized the Takeru's body had devilized once again and stopped 3 cm away from Hikari's face.

"Takeru…"

Takeru's magnificent aquamarine eyes were changed into ruby spheres and his golden hair lost it color and turned into faded black. Despite his transformation, Takeru did not move an inch. It was unclear why he had frozen in place, but Hikari did not care to discover the reason for it. She threw her arms around his waist and kissed his gray lips passionately. She smacked her lips at his endlessly without removing herself from him. At the same time, she did not stop crying. She was overwhelmed with joy that Takeru had finally come back and was struck by the fact that Takeru still loved her. All the facts she cared about were those two. She did not care in the slightest that Takeru was a devil and murdered many people. Her ecstasy was too immense that Hikari had not realized that she was being watched by Kyo. She did not seize kissing Takeru until she heard Kyo fake a cough.

"They have love hotels for a reason, Hikari."

Hikari, then, blushed and her face shined redder than any fire that existed on earth. She calmed herself and looked at Takeru's face again. It was undeniable. His face was menacingly frightening. However, Hikari was unbothered.

"Takeru. Say something."

Only his eyes reverted back to his original sapphire color. Once, his eyes normalized, he started to talk in deep, distorted voice.

"Hikari. I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. I did terrible things to you and Kyo. I don't deserve either of you."

Takeru looked at Kyo and saw him nodding and wishing him good luck by hand gesture.

"It doesn't matter whether you deserve anyone or not."

Hikari continued to gaze at Takeru's face.

"I need you. How do you expect me to live without you beside me?"

"…You still want me? After all the things I have done?"

"I don't what you've done, but it couldn't be worse than what I did today."

"…I…guess…"

"I tried to return to you as a person, but I can't leave you anymore after seeing you today."

"You don't have to look like a person. As long as you're Takeru, you're the greatest person in my world."

With overflowing joy, Takeru held her tightly and lost himself in the pleasurable moment, only to be broken by intrusion of Daisuke and Ken. Assuming that Hikari was being attacked, Daisuke threw a brick at Takeru to separate him from Hikari. Ken, on the other hand, tried to clean up Kyo's wound.

"I don't know who you are, freak! But don't you dare lay a finger on Hikari or I'll kill you!"

"Wait, Daisuke. He won't hurt me."

"What are you talking about? Don't you see all these dead people?"

"It wasn't his fault."

"I don't care! I'm not taking chances. If your brother was here, this freak would be dead."

Amidst all the conversation, Kyo interrupted.

"Watch your words, Daisuke."

"I wouldn't be talking if I was the one being protected."

"Not me, you thick-headed monkey. Worry about who you're talking to."

"Who the hell is this guy, anyway?"

"He's Yamato's brother, Takeru."

Daisuke said no words afterwards due to shock. Ken, who was tending to Kyo's wound, dropped his jaw. Then, Hikari went in front of Takeru and began to speak.

"Yes, he is Takeru. No matter how the situation may look like, Takeru did not kill all these people on purpose. I won't let anyone hurt him anymore. He suffered enough."

"What do you mean suffered, Hikari?"

Daisuke and Ken asked.

"I don't know the details, but I'm pretty sure Takeru didn't transform himself into a devil on purpose. Kyo told me. He said that being a devil is difficult and painful. He told me that nobody can control its aggressive nature completely."

"Kyo, how do you know this?"

"Because, Ken, I am a devil."

Upon hearing that, Ken quickly backed away from Kyo.

"Let me explain everything briefly. And sorry, Takeru. I'm afraid I'm going to have tell everything."

Takeru didn't say anything. He simply nodded.

"I'm the devil, Belial. I was born like this and I don't know why, so don't question it. At one point in my life, the American government used me to develop a supernatural weapon. Kain and Ryan are the victims in the experiment. When Hikari and Takeru came to America, Takeru sensed my demonic aura and tried to look for me. He found out that Kain, Ryan, and I were the victims and he rescued us. In the process, he touched my body and absorbed my powers away. I don't know how he did it, but that is why he is bears the terrifying power and the instinct of Belial."

"Takeru, do you know how you took away his power?"

"I don't know, Hikari. All I remember from that day is a disturbing voice in my head."

"Disturbing voice?"

Kyo made a puzzling expression and asked a question.

"Were you familiar with the voice?"

"Yeah, it felt like I heard that voice all my life."

"I know what that is then. Everything makes sense."

"What are you saying?"

"He had a devil too, but never developed its power. It must have been sealed away until he touched me and awakened his sense of darkness."

Hikari threw a question.

"So Takeru wasn't an ordinary person after all?"

"I'm afraid he isn't. It's all so confusing though. When I first saw him, I couldn't stand to look at his face. It was too bright and felt like a spear was piercing me. But now, I can face him directly without discomfort."

"I think I know why."

Hikari spoke.

"How do you know, Hikari?"

"I researched about devils and angels because Kyo got me interested in it."

"Oh, you were that interested in us?"

"Angels too, but anyway, it said that anyone with slight bit of darkness couldn't look at the archangel groups known as Seraphim. Takeru's partner digimon turns in to Seraphimon. It's not difficult to discover that he is also a holy being. Because Kyo was Belial, it was unbearable to face Takeru for the first time."

Daisuke asked Hikari a question.

"How come he's fine now?"

"It also said that too much good is easily corruptible. Seraphim angels are too holy and are easily corruptible which is why Takeru became a devil when he touched Kyo."

"So Takeru is not a devil, but a fallen angel?"

"I think so too, Ken."

Then, Takeru interrupted their conversation with menacing devil voice.

"Guys, thanks for everything, but there is no way I can live the way I used after everything that happened."

"Who said you can't?"

"Isn't it obvious, Kyo? I can't get rid of this dark power and my hideous appearance."

"We'll see. Hey, Hikari."

Kyo called Hikari and whispered in her ears. Nobody heard anything that Kyo said, but Hikari's red face was clear to see. Hikari seemed embarrassed and confused which brought curiosity to everyone including Takeru.

"What did you tell her, Kyo?"

"I can't tell you anything, Daisuke, but Takeru will regain his former self after tonight."

"Why tonight?"

Kyo chuckled jokingly and Ken soon realized what Kyo had said and smiled silently.

"Ken, you understand too?"

"Yeah."

"Then, tell me."

"I can't. Then, Takeru won't return to normal person."

"How can that be? I WANT TO KNOW!"

Hikari mumbled.

"I…I'll tell you…later…if I can…"

Hikari didn't stop blushing and there was no sign of calm in her.

"Well, now that's settled, let's give these two some private time. Let's go Daisuke and Ken."

Daisuke refused to leave the scene, but Kyo and Ken dragged him out of the situation. Soon, there would be only Takeru and Hikari left.

"So…What did Kyo say?"

"…Takeru…you're just like Daisuke…"

"Huh…?"

"Can I stay with you today?"

"Anything for you."

"Okay, then, can we go to my house? I'm tired."

"Sure."

Then, Takeru grabbed Hikari and flew to her house. When they arrived, Hikari realized that Kyo wasn't there. She thought to herself.

'Kyo, thank you. You are the greatest friend anyone can ask for.'

"So…Hikari, what do you want to do?"

"…one thing."

"Which is?"

"I want to see how much you love me."

"I don't if I can put into words, but…"

Then, Hikari silenced him by putting her finger in front of his lips.

"I need you to show me."

"…"

That's when Takeru realized the words that Kyo whispered to her. Takeru didn't know what to say. If he said no, that would be shown as that he doesn't love her. If he said, yes, he might be seen as a perverted man. Takeru was confused, but soon, Hikari ended his pondering.

"I'm only accepting Kyo's suggestion because it's you that I'll be with."

Takeru couldn't say anything as Hikari blackened the room by removing all the light sources in the room. Nothing was visible, but various sounds were heard. There were zipping noises, bed squeaking, lips smacking, and the sound of skin contact. That night, the neighbors couldn't sleep due to a female voice moaning and screaming throughout the entire night.

Long chapter. Or not. Chapter 11 coming soon.
