Chapter 11

The screeching of the curtains woke up the young demon hybrid like any night, as he slowly opened his eyes and found Amaimon sleep beside him. The little hamster curled up into a ball, as Shima gently smiled at the furry ball and carefully picked him up. The young demon walking into the kitchen and setting his little protector on a little pot holder, before he rummaged through the fridge and Behemoth stumbled in rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Since the incident his protector had been turned into a hamster, Shima had been taking care of the little hamster and Behemoth. The little hobgoblin just as comfortable with Amaimon as a hamster as he was when he looked somewhat human and something Shima was glad for. There was no way he was going to try and get a hobgoblin to stop trying to run around after his little hamster protector and keep him from eating him. That was so not on his list. Yet that didn't stop him from laughing slightly to himself and pulling out some vegetables.

The smell waking up his little protector, as the little hamster Amaimon stirred and opened his little eyes. Little blue eyes falling on him, as Shima pulled out a cutting board and went to cutting the vegetables. His little protector scurrying across the counter and plopping beside the bowl sitting beside the cutting board, as Shima chuckled and his tail gently rubbed the hamster's head.

"Hold on and I'll have it cut, Amaimon." Shima chuckled, as the little hamster seemed to pout and the teen had to keep from laughing.

The teen taking his time in cutting the food, while making his protector patiently wait for his food. A desperate look on his little face by the time the teen finished, as he picked up the cutting board and knife, walking them to the sink and starting to wash them off. The teen not even bothering to tell Amaimon he could eat the food he cut, as the sounds of munching could be heard behind him and Shima smiled. The teen easily washing the dishes and putting them on the rack to dry, before Amaimon scurried over and jumped onto his shoulder. A signal that he had finished his meal, as the teen placed the bowl in the sink and set it out to soak. The hybrid deciding he could wash it later, as he walked out of the kitchen and grabbed his sweatshirt on the way out. The teen slipping it on and letting Amaimon climb onto his head to avoid being covered, as the teen grabbed his book of the hall table and pulled open the front door.

Nothing but fresh night air filling the teen's lungs, as the teen took a deep breath and smiled. His muscles instantly relaxing, as he walked outside with Behemoth just behind him. The little hobgoblin dashing behind him, as the teen walked a ways from the house and plopped down the grass. Amaimon curling up in the grass beside him, before the teen laid back and pulled open his book. His little protector jumping onto his chest and laying back to read the book as well. A laugh leaving the teen at the little hamster's awkward position, as Shima smiled and Behemoth curled up beside them.

"How are you dealing with this?" Amaimon's voice asked, as the teen's eyes moved from the words on the page to the little hamster now on his stomach and his little blue eyes watching him. "Most people would be either afraid to take care of me or would've abandoned me."

"That's just the thing. I'm not human." Shima spoke, as the little hamster gave him a weird look and then seemed to understand the young hybrid. "I'm a demon now and I've come to realize I have to deal with what's thrown at me. Even if I get scared, or I can't handle it. Nothing will ever match up to the pain I felt when Hika-chan died, and nothing ever will."

A moment of silence fell between them, as Shima placed his book on the grass beside him and gently picked up his little protector. Amaimon gently holding onto his fingers with his little paws, as the young hybrid held him close to his face and met the demon's little eyes.

"I might not look or act like it, and I overact over everything, but I do care Amaimon. It may sound crazy, and you might not believe it, but now I'm glad you saved me. I'm glad you risked your life to come after me and I'm glad you kept me alive all this time." Shima spoke, as the little hamster's eyes widened. "I won't say this feeling I have for you is love, but you are someone who is very close to my heart. Because you're the one that's kept it beating even if it doesn't beat anymore."

"Shima-"

"Demon!" Behemoth cried out, as the two of the jumped slightly and Shima bolted upright.

The little Hobgoblin dashing toward them, as a figure a good forty yards away, before the little demon skidded to a halt beside them and looked at the two of them in fear. It obvious he regretted finding whatever that thing was and he knew he was in trouble with his master, even if he was a hamster.

"I went to find something to play with and it came after me!" Behemoth spoke, as he quickly snuggled into the hybrid's lap and curled up in it. His little paws being placed on the teen's chest and looking at Amaimon in regret. "I didn't mean to disturb it!"

"What is it?" Shima asked, as he looked down at the two demons. All the while Amaimon jumped out of his grip and climbed up on top of the teen's head to get a better view.

"Short figure, slouched posture, thick tail, human figure, and no ears; it looks like another hybrid." Amaimon listed off, as the little hamster looked at his battling partner. "Did it transform?"

"No."

"Then there's the chance it might be anything." The little hamster spoke, as the figure suddenly started coming for them.

The young hybrid's frantic instincts taking over, as his heart rate skyrocketed and the teen felt his fingers digging into the ground. His tail lashing out against the grass, before the small short figure suddenly morphed into a huge silhouette and jumped. An action that caused Behemoth to growl, as he suddenly took off after the demon. A whimper leaving the young hybrid as he fought back the urge to yell out to stay back, before Behemoth suddenly grew twenty times his usual size and collided with the demon. Distorted cries filling the air, as a huge frog looking creature came into view. The two huge demons landing on the ground, before the little hamster on his head quickly landed on his shoulder and rubbed against his cheek.

"Shima, get back and let Behemoth take care of this." Amaimon demanded, as looked at him in worry. "We need to get as far away as we can and keep you safe!"

It was in that moment Behemoth lounged at the huge frog demon and sent them tumbling across the grass. Growls and distorted cries filling the air, as Behemoth clawed at the frog. The huge demon fighting the humongous hobgoblin biting back at him, as webbed feet ripped open his sides. Distorted cries of pain filling the air, as the teen felt his chest tighten. Flashes of memories appearing in his vision, as tears came to his eyes and Amaimon looked at him in worry. One lone thought filling the young hybrid's mind.

"I've already lost too many important figures in my life. I can't lose the both of you as well." Shima spoke, as he picked up his little protector and placed him on top of his book. "You've protected me up till now, Amaimon. Now let me return the favor."

"Shima don't! Behemoth can take him!" Amaimon yelled, as the teen took off after the two huge demons.

The pure fear coursing through the teen's veins keeping him moving forward, as he let out a deep breath and let his inner emotions take over. The pain, the agony, the down right vile emotions he had held up for so long erupting and splitting from the seams. Taking over his mind and his body, as a foreign feeling took over and strength washed over him.

"Nothing is keeping me from protecting you."


A sudden rush of power filled the air, as the little hamster stared at the little hybrid in shock. His battling partner slamming into the ground and sliding a few feet, before Behemoth managed to get up and stare at the young teen. The one whom was doing the one thing Amaimon had tried desperately to keep him from doing. Shima was giving into his inner emotions. Emotions that could get him killed, as the young hybrid's features drastically changed.

His fangs growing out and his coming to even harsher points, as his tail lashed out and grew in size. The end forming a point and his back arching out, before his sweater tore from the pressure of two huge bat like wings ripping out of his back. Blood trailing down his back and palms, as the teen slowly stood up and flexed his fingers to relax the pain; his nails sharp as daggers.

"Amaimon-"

"Behemoth, get over here; slowly." Amaimon commanded, as his battling partner nodded.

His partner slowly taking a step back away from the two feral demons and gaining both of their attentions, as he looked to the Earth King and didn't once stop his motion. Their stares following him all the while, as the demon suddenly felt the earth crack under his feet and a creature's underground home was destroyed. A move that caused the huge leaper hybrid to dash after him, before a low growl filled the air and Shima suddenly disappeared. His figure almost impossible to pick out, before the hybrid demon suddenly went flying and smashed into the ground. Shima's figure standing on top of the demon and his claws at the ready, as Amaimon let out a curse and ran toward his battling partner as fast as he could.

Harsh cries and demonic screams filling the air, as the young hybrid finally got his first taste of blood shed. The cries giving the Earth King enough time to dash over to Behemoth the moment his partner returned to his smaller form and climb on top of him. The stench of demonic blood already filling the air, Amaimon looked down at the little hobgoblin and then to the young hybrid.

"We need to snap him out of it, before he gets hurt or his demonic instincts take over." Amaimon spoke, as he watched the young hybrid rip off one of the demon's legs and demonic blood flowed out of the huge wound. "If an exorcist gets here they'll take him away and kill him, and we can't protect him with me like this."

A nod was given from his battling partner, before Behemoth took off toward the young hybrid. His smaller form eating up the distance faster than his larger form could, before the little demon took a huge risk. His little form launching him into the air and slamming right into Shima's head, before he landed on the ground and quickly turned to the young teen. The teen whom fell right off the huge hybrid and right to the ground, as Behemoth quickly scurried over to him in panic and gently nudged his head.

"Is he okay? Did I hit him too hard?" His partner spoke in worry, as Amaimon quickly jumped off Behemoth's head and nudged the teen's cheek.

"Shima, I need you to wake up." Amaimon spoke, as he rubbed his head against the teen's blood covered face.

The teen's features suddenly morphing back, as his wings retracted and his tail returned to normal. His ears shrinking and his fangs falling back into his mouth, before his nails returned to normal and his breathing evened out. No labored breathing and no frantic unbeating heart rate reaching the male's ears, before he nudged the teen's cheek once more.

"Shima, wake up." Amaimon spoke once more, before he heard a soft groan.

The young hybrid slowly regaining consciousness, before his golden eyes opened and a soft haze of red glazed over him. Something that worried the Earth King almost instantly, before Shima looked at him in relief and noticed the fallen demon. The young teen sitting up in an instant and pulling the Earth King close, as he smiled and stroked the demon's fur.

"I'm glad you're safe." Shima spoke, as Amaimon stared at him in worry.

"Shima, do you know what just happened?" Amaimon asked, as the teen looked at him in confusion.

"What did happen?" Shima asked, before the huge leaper moved. "Behemoth, catch!"

In an instant, the Earth King was tossed into the air. His vision blurring, as his battling partner caught him and the huge leaper went after his little hybrid. Black blood flying everywhere, before a gunshot rang through the air and a scream of pain filled the Earth King's ears.
