Juudai's PoV

I stood there in total fear. Why am I scared of him anyways? I frowed, trying to hide my fear, but I was shaking. Anger? Yeah, I'll make it look like Ang-

"-Scared, Yuki Juudai? Anger is a sign you're a coward, especially if you show it." Said Haou in an emotionless tone.

I growled, He's good! I hate that IN him... However, how... I narrowed my eyes, "Aren't you a coward then? I see a lot of anger in you, Haou."

I tried not to look him in the eyes, but it's SO hard!

"No. I find every emotion a weakness. Sadness, Anger, even Happiness. I see emotion as a waste of time. Love is an emotion, even Hate." Said Haou in a monotone. He narrowed his eyes, "I find no intrest in anything. Life, death, even time. You can die, and I won't even care." His voice darkend, "Which is what I'm going to make you do. Die, like the pathetic dogs you are."

Johan and I backed up, and we both glared. Yubel came to mind, and I wished 'Yohan' was here. He's protect me, but unfortunately, he doesn't exsist! No... He doesn't! I shut my eyes tightly when a Johan froze.

I tighten the grip on his arm, "Wh-What are you doing?" I asked, looking up at a supised looking Johan.

I looked in front of me when My eyes widened myself.

A woman ( or a man ) was in front of us, she had wings very large, and spread. Her hear was split between two colors, and she had claws on her feet and hands. She turned to us and she looked at us with mismatched eyes, and smirked to us, fangs showing. One eye was blue-turquoise color while the other was... A familiar orange color.

My eyes widened, "Y-Yubel!" I whispered.

She turned back to the King, and she crossed her arms, "Leave these boys be, my King. I'm not afraid to kill you anymore." She said.

Haou narrowed his eyes, "Yubel... You'll die with them too."

Yubel backed up, giving a low growl.

"What do you gain from killing us, Haou! What do you gain from us besides the pleasure?" I asked, backing up too.

A dark fire ball came from his hand, his eyes glowin-Damn it! I'm under the spell of his eyes.

"What I gain is your souls for fuel of my power." He answered, eyes narrowing, "You can't run away now-"

BOOM!

Haou turned to the sound, and an explosion happend at the castle. We turned to now that we were free from his gaze.

The explosion happen around one end of the Castle. It then, with smoking coming out, collapsed. Slowly falling, and the people inside it jumping out. My eyes widen when I saw Shou jumping out.

"Shou!" I screamed, and I started to run.

Ignoring the people back screaming my name, I ran closer to that end of the castle. I have to save Shou! Shou's one of my friends, so I just gotta!

However, A Dark power caught Shou, and I stopped, eyes wide, as I watched Shou being gently let down. I was shaking. Where did that Dark power came from?

"Shou, make sure the others are okay!" Commanded a voice. His monotone voice.

I froze in shock, and fear.

After Shou was finished calming down, he stood up straight, "H-Hai!" He ran off.

I was now alone. With HIM of all people. HIM. ALONE.

He walked up behind me, and bent down to whisper in my ear, "... I wasn't going to kill you, Yuki Juudai. Merely use you." He grabbed my sholders, knowing I'm shaking with fear now, "Your body. Your mind. You're me, Juudai. Your shadow..."

I shivered as he continued to whisper, what is he doing? Oddly, I wanted him to whisper in my ear somemore... I shut my eyes tight. He continued, "Am I turning you on, Juudai?"

I shook my head; I don't know what he's talking about. He chuckled lightly, which was new to me, and I shivered again. He continued, "Do you even know what it means, Juudai? No wonder you're a Pure Soul. Your soul..." He paused, "If all I had to do was take you, then you're going to be a Tainted Soul then..."

My eyes widen, "T-Take me? A-As in... K-Kidnap me?"

"No." He said in a monotone, but I swore it had a smirk in it, "I mean take you as 'Make you Mine', Juudai... Rape, Yuki Juudai, is what it's called."

I froze. Yohan told me at one point that "Rape" is very bad, and it'll turn even the purest of souls into Tainted Ones. I began to shake, more then usual, now.

"... I take it Yubel told you?" He asked, seeing me shake more then usual, "... Ahh, yes. Yubel and Johan."

He began to rub my sholders, which I let him, "They're waiting for you... I'm letting you go, for now, but next time, I'm taking you... Got it?" His voice got stern now.

"H-Hai!" I answered, and I took his offer and ran off.

Wh-Why did Haou... Let me go? I continued to run.

X-X-X-X

I found Yubel and Johan, and we ran together, as far away from the castle as possable. I oddly kept quiet 'bout the moment Haou & I had there... Which is, I wonder WHY? We stopped for what we believed where Haou couldn't find us.

After panting to catch our breathes, Yubel spoke, "Juudai? Are you alright? Was Shou saved?"

Yubel then started to check me for anything. I chuckled lightly. Oh, Yubel.

"I'm fine, Yubel." I answered, and I turned to Yubel, grinning. "Ya know... You..."

Yubel stopped and tilted her head, "H-Huh?"

Johan sighed, "Yubel... He fell in love with both of us." He said.

Yubel blinked, "He... Did?"

I gave a small smile, "Johan's body, Your mind. It was "Yohan with a Y" I fell in love with, Yubel."

Yubel's eyes widen, "Oh..." She sighed, "I'm sorry that I tore you, Juudai. I'm sorry, I really am."

"Me too." Said Johan.

I smiled softly, "It's fine, Yubel. I'm just glad you're safe."

Yubel blinked, "You were worried 'bout me?"

I nodded, "You AND Johan became my best friends. You both know my past, and you guys protected me. I love you both."

Johan and Yubel turned to face each other, grinning, and then back to me. They both won my heart, and I'm very happy 'bout that.

X-X-X-X

Yubel and Johan were trying to set up a fire until Johan grunted in annoyance.

"Could you at least help a little bit?" He asked, annoyed.

Yubel crossed her arms, "I'm a Demon, Johan. I'm here to protect Juudai, not help with a knight like you."

Johan rolled his eyes, "Can't you summon at least one of your fires to light this up?"

"It ain't THAT easy, Johan."

"Oh, and like Possessing my body was easy?"

"No. Nothing is easy. You sqirmed and struggled."

"Oh, did I? I didn't do anything!"

"Yes. You did."

"Oh, what did I do to make it so hard?"

I sat there and listened to them bicker, and argue. I chuckled lightly, as I watched. Who knew Johan and Yubel was so funny? Ahh, I miss Yohan. However, I can see Yohan's body and mind here. Bickering. I... I never got the chance to figure out what kind of Demon Yubel is.

I got up, and inspected Yubel, as she stopped bickering for a moment to watch me with a confused look on her face. I grabbed her 'Hands' and inspect them. They're talons. I bent down to inspect her feet. They... Look like... Huh. I inspected her wings, and spread them.

"Yubel... Are you a... Dragon?" I asked her.

She blinked, "Yes. I am."

"Whoa." I smiled, "Cool!" I squealed, and hugged Yubel around her waist, "That's so cool!"

She blushed slightly, "Uhh, Thank you?"

"You're welcome!" I gave her a light sqeeze, and pulled away, grinning. "I knew you were, and still are, a powerful Demon, but I had NO Idea how powerful!"

Yubel grinned, "Well, I don't like to brag, but this is only my first form. My other two forms only comes out when fighting... I never reached my third form, which is the most powerful."

I gasped, "Wow!"

I'm lucky to have someone like her on my side! Johan chuckled lightly, and I turned to him.

"Wow... We're lucky we have You on our side." He said.

I blinked, "That's what I was thinkin'."

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

Johan and I both laughed. Yubel grinned as she watched both of us.

I gave a smile back, but then I frowned.

They both turned to me, worried, "What's wrong?" They asked in unison.

I paused for a moment, "... If Haou isn't the bad guy, then who is?"

They both gasped. Johan frowned, "What do you mean? Of course he's the bad guy! Why made you think other words?"

What do I tell them? That Haou threated to rape me next time he sees me, and let me go? I sighed, and rubbed the back of my head, and sighed, "It's just that... I doubt he'd blow up his own castle. Plus... He saved Shou."

Johan gasped, "What!"

"Shou his his faithful servent, so of course he save him!" Yubel scoffed.

I sighed, and turned away, "I don't know why, but I just... Know, okay?"

I walked away. I can't tell them. Not yet, anyways. I continued what I was doing to get those thoughts out of my mind.

Ooh, I don't know. If Haou did what I think he did, then I'm SURE He's not the bad guy.

...

Yubel and Johan went back to bickering.

X-X-X-X

I laied awake, thinking of what Haou said to me. I was staring at the dark, but stary sky. There is no moon, so it was completely dark. I stared.

"If... If Haou said that to scared me, then he's wrong. He knows I might be back... He knows."

I sighed quietly. I was trying not to wake Johan, and Yubel was away, so I was safe... For now.

"He... I swore, I heard a smirk, and I heard him chuckle. It... It couldn't have been him, but..."

I sighed, "His voice spoke in a monotone, and I FELT his emotionless gaze. Plus, his voice sounds like mine."

I shivered, "Why... Why did..." I shut my eyes tight.

Turned away, "Why do... Why... Do I wanna go back if... He threaten to... Rape me next time I see him?"

I placed my hand on my forehead, and I listened for any sound Yubel's coming back. I swore I heard a small gasp. I sighed... I'm testing this out.

"... He let me go. If he did that... To... I... I'm SURE he's not the bad guy. Unless he did it for his self pleasure to scare me..." I said quietly.

"Haou... Said he wouldn't have killed me, but he said he'd rape me?" I rubbed my forehead, eyes shut tight, "He would've killed Johan and Yubel though... He... He..."

My eyes snapped open in shock, realizing something, "Th-That's what he would've done before the castle blew up..."

I laied there in shock, "I see... So, he's a bad guy to everyone else... But me."

I sighed, "It's not like I'd concider protecting him, but... Still... I can't help but get the feeling he ISN'T the bad guy."

I nuzzled my pillow, "Ahh... It's gotta be the person who blew up his castle..."

I sighed, "I... I'll go along. Until there's enough proof to defend him."

...

I closed my eyes to go to sleep.

Ahh. Yes. Haou Juudai. You're scaring me.

X-X-X-X
Next Day

I sat up from my sleeping bag only to find Johan and Yubel. Putting up camp. They were awfully quiet. Guessing one was up, or back, I sighed quietly, and got up.

Catching their attention, they smiled, "Mornin', Juudai." Said Johan. He rolled up his sleeping bag.

"How was your sleep?" Asked Yubel.

I chuckled lightly, "Great!"

Slience.

"I take it you heard what I said outloud last night?" I asked.

Johan and Yubel looked at me wide eyed.

"No! No, I didn't even know you were awake, and talkin'! I mean, I dreamt I was with my pets!" Said Johan, laughing lightly to hide his nervousness.

"Yeah, I was away to whole night! I doubt I even heard a single word!" Said Yubel, her hands behind her back.

"I didn't hear anything!" They said in unison, giving a fake smile to me.

I laughed.

They looked at me all weird like. I smiled, "I heard a small gasp, you guys. Before I fell asleep, I heard bushes russuling, and when I woke up this morning, you guys were quiet."

I walked up, giving a reasuring smile, "If I wanted to be raped, I would've gone back by now." I snickered.

They sighed in relief, "Thank you, Juudai." They said in unison.

I smiled, "I love you guys."

They bowed, "We love you too!" They ran off.

I sighed. I still can't get Haou out of my head though.

...

Bad guy or not?
