Her devil
Chapter 13: Ritsuka's mission part 2: Amon and Alicia's undying love
Well i started this as soon as i finished the last chapter so i was less lazy this time! Enjoy i hope you like this fanfiction because to be honest it started with what if Ritsuka went with Rem but it looks like it became some other story xD
I dont own dance with devils but if I did i wouldnt have made such an irritating ending
-My beloved Alicia , you're the only woman that I've ever loved sincerely. I wouldn't imagine a life without you so please dont die . Live for me , promise me that you won't sacrifice yourself for me. said Amon caressing his lover's cheek.
-Only if you promise me in return that you'll live for me and that no matter what you won't loose your life for the sake of mine.
-You're such a difficult woman...sighed Amon.
-That's what you love about me.
-Indeed ...
As they kissed the door opened suddenly revealing a wounded and panting Cain and Amon hurried to him shocked.
-Cain! Cain what's the matter? worried Amon but before he got his butler's answer , he had a vision.
"-Where is that dear Amon hiding? That traitor who after he was exiled from heavens bowed his head to our sworn enemies the demons! Once a general in the heaven's army now a marquis in hell! yelled Raphael .
-I won't let you disturb , the master.
-And you think you can stop me filthy demon?
-We wont know until we try.
-Amusing how you think you can beat us ! he heard another man' voice.
-That's an arrogant fool for you! exclaimed this time a feminine voice." End of vision.
-Honey are you okay? asked Alicia. Was that a vision?
-Yes , a vision about what happened to Cain , he encountered Raphael .
-Y-yes master that's the angel but he's not alone , he has a god with him and a yokai.
-Tch , normally these people wouldn't be allies , there must be a mastermind hiding in the shadows.
-That's the only possible explanation . Amon im ready to fight.
-We don't have many choices anyway . Lets teach them what it means to provoke us , my love. smiled the fallen angel.
-Yes , we'll definitely vanquish them, honey.
-Before we go Cain stay here , i'll put a healing spell on you . You were hit by an angel , you won't heal by yourself. said the lord before scratching his wrist with a dagger then he lifted his arm so that the blood would go to his arm there it stained white bandages that turned gold and Amon's mismatched eyes shone .
-Golden bandages , use my blood and heal my allies , by god's will. White wings appeared from Amon's back just then the bandages wrapped around Cain and they healed all his wounds without leaving any marks.
-You're out of danger Cain but you're body has just undergone a powerful spell and it exhausted , I can't let you fight . Stay here and dont come no matter what . Since I know you'll come even thought I told you not to let me precise that this is an order . I hate using people like pawns . That's disgusting. stated Amon before his black wings disappeared. We've wasted enough time already Alicia . Let's go.
-Oh look who decided to show up! That's lord Amon for you! As usual , you're always late , traitor! said Raphael in a sarcastic tone.
-Wow what a nice greeting , sometimes i wonder if you're really angel , all you have is white wings , no principles and no feelings.
-Interesting so this is the one who's gone berserk and stained heaven's sacred ground with blood resulting in being exiled . commented the one Amon assumed was the god.
-He was going to be executed if Azrael didn't hesitate in killing him and do you know the pitiful excuse he gave us?! It was "he could be interesting in the future" he's more of a zombie than an angel that guy! I cant stand him.
-So you're here to execute me? concluded Amon smirking.
-Actually we came here to ask you to join us. spoke the yokai woman.
-And your goal would be? asked Amon.
-Destroying all the supernatural dimensions and create a new one for only chosen people to live in.
-You're going to wipe out humanity for this?
-Yes , those filthy humans dont have a place in our project . added Raphael. And to be honest I hate you and I don't want you to join us but orders are orders , your healing skills are the most powerful out of all the supernatural dimensions and your fighting power is very impressing too even if i hate to admit it its the truth. Our master thinks it would be a waste to kill you.
-Oh , and is this master of yours intending to rule this kingdom he wants to create? asked Amon.
-He said that the powerful ones will be those who will rule the kingdom. added the god.
-That's a very alluring proposition indeed . Those goals are exactly what I seek. What do you think Alicia?
However since they came Alicia didnt say anything, all she could do was stare in shock apparently at the yokai woman.
-Why...Diana ...
-Why what ? why did i become a yokai when i was originally a witch? because i'm more powerful this way and i also killed people from our kingdom for master's sake.
-How could you?! Your family , your friends ! I was your best friend , you were like a sister to me , Diana .
-Looks like you know her Diana , is that Alicia Wolfmoon? She even more beautiful than what i heard from rumors and what i saw in painting . You should go together and settle your matters while we talk with our dear Amon .said the god.
-Whatever you are a god or anything else doesn't matter. Alicia is mine.
-Hmph , Im not the god of love or seduction dear Amon . Im a greek god , the god of war Ares . So we want your answer will you come with us?
-That's as I said a very good proposition. I might even consider going with you. Amon smirked and just as he attempted to walk to the two men a sword was held at his throat.
-Ahahahaha , prince Rhea ! How unexpected for you to show up here ! I wonder what brings you to my home this late at night. started the fallen angel.
-If you're going to betray my cause then you'll better be dead then in my enemies hands .
-Im afraid that no matter what you do prince you're still immature , i have far more experience in fights and life than you . If you think that you trapped me then you're wrong. I possess all knowledge of the past present and future . You'll need a hundred years to beat me.
Just as he finished speaking he appeared behind Raphael and Ares disappearing from Rhea's side.
-However i wonder how you knew that i was here.
-Your butler ran all the way to me saying he's worried you might do something foolish.
-That stupid brat! I should've locked him up.
-That means you really were going to betray the demons.
-Who said that dear prince , what about you look at those two in front of us.
Black feather wings had appeared from Amon's back and he was holding chains with seals on them capturing Ares and Raphael .
-So all of this was a scheme . stated Raphael.
-I must say that this battle strategy is very ingenious however , isn't it a bit of cowardice? asked Ares before breaking the chains.
-Nani?! Rhea's eyes widened in shock and Amon couldn't help but stare even though he knew those chains wouldn't stop a god.
Alicia came back , she had vanquished Diana Ash but she was very exhausted and she had some wounds. Ares aimed at her and it was so fast that Amon could only shield her with his own body and his right wing fell to the ground.
-Now... I-I understand ...what it means to get your wing torn off... its... so painful...Im so sorry Alicia . I broke our promise ...I am sorry ...
After what he collapsed and Alicia cried .
-No , No! You can't ! I won't forgive you!
Amon coughed blood before smiling sadly and wiping her tears away with his fingers.
-Thi-This is ...the first time i've seen you cry... but... i prefer your smile , my beloved Alicia. Sayonara...
Just then Alicia's tears stopped and her eyes turned menacing , her mind turned blank. The aura around here became dangerous as she glared at her enemies. A grimoire floating in front of her . It has a black cover anda ruby in the middle . Some lines in an unknown language appeared on her face and arms .
-Im going to destroy everything. You'll be the first ones to be annihilated from this world . Disappear by my hand. Everything will kneel to me , no matter what it is. Your heart belongs in my hands .
-Just what are you going to do ? Alicia are you okay? asked Rhea worried and she gave him a piercing glare.
-Dont you dare interfere. Anger's sting, rage's power . Consume my enemy with this hatred of mine.
Let them suffer as
the pain they gave me will be doubled.
Death , destruction and despair.
Bring my enemies to their downfall
Now my wrath is what they shall feel!
Just then Raphael and Ares felt their insides burning . Ares was clutching his chest and Raphael was screaming from pain, tears of blood running down their cheeks.
-What the hell did you do , witch! Damn you damn you Damn you! cursed Raphael.
-I can't believe a simple witch could do this to me a greek god... you hold up to your reputation , Alicia Wolfmoon. However im afraid that won't be enough to defeat me. You've already exhausted yourself casting such a powerful and a forbidden spell no less . A trail of blood ran down from the corner of his mouth. Now let me show you the power of a god . Celestial judgement !
Swords fell down from the sky line a sword's rain and they were aimed at Alicia but to Ares's surprise she was unscathed when the sword rain stopped.
-You demon , you protected her didn't you? Looks like its useless to continue fighting from here . We failed our mission , Amon disappeared. Teleportation!
The uncouncious Raphael and Marie were surrounded by a strong light then they disappeared along with Ares leaving Alicia in Rhea's arms.
-Tch ...just what's happening ... and where the hell did Amon go!
Alicia put her hand on Rhea's cheek mistaking him for Amon her mind being blurred .
-A-Amon...please...dont leave me alone...she murmured tears flowing down her cheek before loosing consciousness.
-My poor Alicia . I wish i could do something for you. But Im not Amon...
End of Alicia's story but still eight months ago
Amon woke up in the woods far from his mansion.
-Just where am I? Why im I in a forest? Wasn't I supposed to be in bed with Alicia?
Memories of what happened came back to him.
-That's true...I fought and then...intense pain ... Alicia crying... and then everything's gone blank...
When he tryed to stand up he became aware of the fact he was no longer a person , he was a fox. He ran to a nearby river and when he looked at his reflection , he was shocked . He still had his mismatched gold-red eyes . He was white and the earring on his right ear was still there and he had nine tails.
-Oh god what the hell happened ...I hope i can go back to what I was...what would Alicia said if she saw me ... well she probably would say something in the lines of "Cute" or "Kawaii!" or "My little teddy" even though im not a bear. Its all because of the stupid prince . He can't mind his own business...even though being a fox will be interesting im still worried about Alicia...and I dont seem to have any of my powers i'll have to bear with it...and try to get as much information as i can ... i'll act like a pet who grants wishes but only to those who deserve it...from now on my name will be silver .
End of flashback ( Alicia's home )
Ritsuka and Rem were in Alicia's home. You might ask why does she need it when she was the whole time with Amon but they fought sometimes and things happen so she had a small house on her own.
-That's why I told you that I myself don't know where he might be...
-Its indeed ,intriguing how he disappeared without leaving any trace behind. stated Rem.
-You said his wing was torn off could it be that its the cause of his disappearance ? asked Rituska.
-You might right Ritsuka, a wing for an angel is like fangs for a vampire , when you loose one of them it brings great pain and might even kill. Also it could even considerably reduce their power. explained Rem. So he might've lost his materialisation body or took another form or became another person.
-I wonder myself ...murmured Alicia. You should go back for now its late...I'll make some research , lets meet tomorrow.
-Fine by me , even though we only have four days , its useless to try anything if we're tired specially you Ritsuka . You fought your dark side today. Alicia we'll make research from our side too. See you tomorrow.
Ritsuka took Alicia's hands in hers and smiled.
-I understand how you feel about Amon san , Alicia san but i promise that we'll try our best to find him. reassured Ritsuka.
-Thank you ... Ritsuka . And good luck with Rem . whispered Alicia and Ritsuka turned bright red. I'll give you some tips of what you could do to please him one day. continued Alicia smirking making Ritsuka blush even harder. For now you could try and change your clothes style . Try this . said Alicia showing Ritsuka a dress.
-I-'ll never be able to wear something like that.
-You can do it for Rem , he'll be happy im sure.
-I-I s-see you tomorrow Alicia san! stammered Ritsuka and Alicia chuckled.
-Oyasumi ... have sweet 'dreams' she said insisting on the word dreams.
Ritsuka went out and found Rem staring at the sky.
-What were you talking about with Alicia , Ritsuka? asked Rem out of curiosity.
-Wh-Why do you ask ? replied Ritsuka nervously .
-Well you were long so Im wondering.
-Ah she said nothing of importance. continued Ritsuka but when she remembered Alicia's words she blushed and turned away from Rem. However the kaginuki saw her red face and put his hand on her cheek before moving to her forhead.
-Ritsuka you're hot , do you have a fever?
-No im fine...
-Are you sure? insisted Rem.
-Yes if I wasn't i would've told you wouldn't I?
-Hmm... lets go then .
That night Rem went to his room and found Silver.
-Its been a while since you came back to see me , Kaginuki. said the fox.
-Well a lot has been going on lately and I've been sleeping with Ritsuka, so i didnt come very much to my room. Anyway did Dan feed you in my absence?
-Yes but im a cute little pet i need affection not only food...
-I thought you were a fox not a cat.
-Whatever ...by the way who's this Ritsuka?
-Well she's his majesty's king Maksis daughter and Rhea's niece , Tsukiyomi Ritsuka and I wish to marry her in the future.
For a moment the fox's eyes widened. Tsukiyomi Rhea the prince! Finally after eight months i might be able to go back to normal!
-Kaginuki , have you ever met the prince?
-I did on many occasions and we were in his castle just this morning.
Really?! Im so happy i could hug him if i had arms! After all this time my saviour!
- I wonder why you're asking all this questions all of a sudden.
-Im a magical fox can't I know somethings about the world?
-Well i never said that .
-How is the prince i heard after the loss of his brother he was very sad.
-Indeed but he overcame it more or less.
-So he's fine now?
-i wouldnt say that he collapsed and has a life threatening wound. A wound that paralyzes the body and consumes blood vessels and cells. Unfortunately even the most skilled mage at his castle couldn't heal him. He has four days to live if we dont save him before this deadline. All hope will be lost. explained Rem.
A wound like this could only be made by a cursed spell and a physical hit combination, something like medusa's curse . Unfortunately for him no one can heal something that strong . Actually I can but in this form , im useless since i've lost my powers...
-Are you finished with your questions? Not that i dont want to talk with you but i have some research to do.
-Research ? about what ?
-What happens if an angel has their wing torn off do they disappear , reincarnate , die of the pain. Because apparently eight months ago , the marquis of hell and the fallen angel lord Amon Cassiel disppeared after having his wing torn off.
A research about fallen angel? And how did he know that ? Only Rhea and Alicia witnessed what happened that night ... Could it be Rhea who told them?
-A research about Amon and fallen angel? Why?
-He's the only person who can heal the prince with his exceptional healing powers. So we need to find him. Fallen angels...of course how stupid of me , i have an acquaintance who's a fallen angel . He might be helpful... Dan come here.
-Young master , you called?
-Yes call Shiki for me and tell him to come tomorrow for i wish to talk with him.
-Your wish is my command , i'll be on my way.
-So you want to ask Amon to heal the prince?
-That's it .
-How did you find that story about him ? Did the prince tell you what happened eight months ago?
-No he collapsed before that. The one who told us was the closest person to him and his most cherished one. One of the most powerful witches Alicia Wolfmoon.
-I-I see...
So it was you after all my beloved Alicia , oh god how i miss you ... you cant imagine...how much i long to hold you in my arms...
-As I thought , this book is useless . I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
-Did Alicia ask you to make the research ?
-No I proposed she said she was going to search on her own . But i want to help . If Ritsuka disappeared i would go and search for her the same goes for Alicia , you can see it in her eyes and how she talks about lord Amon , she loves him very much.
-...
-You're so silent all of a sudden is anything the matter?
-N-Nothing , i was just thinking about something..
-You're acting strange today , normally you wouldn't be so talkative.
-Dont worry about me . said Silver or more like Amon before lying on the desk while Rem went to his bed.
-I thought you were a pet who wanted affection. Come here dont stay on the desk its cold there. stated Rem tapping the bed next to him and Amon or lets say Silver for now jumped next to him before curling into a little ball as Rem caressed his snow white fur.
-You're a cute fox indeed even though your voice is in contrast with your body.
-Do you have any problem with that?
-No , if I did i wouldn't have gone through the pain of buying you in the first place.
Meanwhile , Ritsuka was in her room gazing at the stars from her room and thinking about Rem when suddenly she heard a voice .
-You are Ritsuka aren't you. said a feminine voice.
-Y-yes who are you?
-Im Sasaki Rika , a demon like you . smiled the blond woman kindly and Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity as she looked at the woman.
-Have we met before ? asked Ritsuka.
-I dont think we did . Anyway i came here to guide you. You were half human before so you dont know how to use your powers correctly . For now i'll tell you what kind of powers you have. First of fall , the power the ice element. Second you have summoning power , third you have the power of calling a sacred scythe and fighting with it. And finally you have a power i never saw before its light power and its more like purifying things however you have the opposite power too the cursing one.
-That's...
-Maybe you didnt discover them yet but i have the power to see what powers every one has. So you have to believe me.
-For some reason , Sasaki san , you look like someone i know ( more like Rem oops ! i shouldnt spoil :p) so i believe you.
-For now what about you try your ice power.
-How can I do that?
-For exemple , see this glass of water , let's try with this first. Concentrate and try to freeze it.
Ritsuka closed her eyes and concentrated but nothing happened.
-Hmm it didn't work...Then lets try something else. Imagine that this glass of water froze but you must really want it.
Ritsuka did as she was told and the glass of water froze .
-I succeeded ! said Ritsuka happily.
-For now that's good progress , next time we'll try with a river and then when you can control it at will , we'll make some techniques with ice . What do you think?
-Arigato Sasaki san!
-You should rest for now . Have good dreams Ritsuka. said Rika before disappearing.
Next day Ritsuka decided to dress nicely like Alicia told her , for the first time in a while she didnt tie her hair in a ponytail instead she let it flow down her back as it reached her waist .She wore a red dress with thin red straps and it was mid thigh length , its ends were black and white also she had a belt with little stars on it just under her breasts that were a little on display because of the dress , black bracelets were around her wrists . She to Rem's room however he wasn't there and Dan after being surprised for a while at her unsual attire since she was never that bold before told her he was in the living room. And the princess went there. She saw Rem , Shiki , Mage , Urie and Roen to her biggest surprise and like always Shiki , Mage , Urie and Roen were fighting over trivial things. When Rem lifted his head and saw her , his expression changed from stoic to pure disbelief . His Ritsuka never dressed like that but she was breathtaking and so beautiful. He could have her then and there . He wanted her so badly and it didnt matter if the others were watching , it would be the occasion to show them that she's his and only his for all eternity.
-R-Ritsuka ... he breathed , he could barely talk normally.
-Good morning , Rem , good morning everyone !
-Oh look who it is ! The little butterfly ! exclaimed Urie . You've become very beautiful as I see.
-Maksis sama! Miss Ritsuka became worth he princess title ! Thanks Maksis sama ! Maksis sama!
-Uruse doggy . You're making so much noise stupid dog! Nice to see you again , baby. smiled Mage.
-Oh god who banished me from heavens , i feel shivers go down my spine , the rose flowered and grown up to become so beautiful and seducing . Moaned Shiki hugging himself blushing a little.
-Pfff and the masochist spoke . Can't you say something decent when talk sometimes? asked Rem annoyed.
-That's harsh for someone who needs my help , Kaginuki. stated Shiki.
-Yes let's go back to our topic. Ritsuka come and sit . said Rem gesturing to Ritsuka and when she sat next to him he pulled her by the waist to lay her head on his shoulder. Of course , Mage , Shiki and Urie stared at them with jealousy anf envy.
-Fine , i was saying that wings for an angel in general is very important . Loosing a wing for a fallen angel is even worse than loosing an arm. They say its so painful you can die of it. But i want to experience that pain one day , it will be the ultimate suffering and pleasure ! exclaimed Shiki his masochist side awakening.
-Then we'll be happy to oblige and get rid of the biggest masochist in the universe. said Mage and Urie at the same time.
-Leave that for another time , Urie , Mage. We have more important things to do.
Suddenly Dan appeared and bowed to Rem.
-Hmm? What is it? demanded Rem.
-There is a witch who wants to see you young master.
-Oh? That would be Alicia . Lead her here , Dan.
-Yes , young master.
-Alicia? Do you mean Wolfmoon Alicia ? the famous witch. questioned Urie.
-That would be her . She is lord Amon's fiancee and she's helping us find him.
-Hello, Kaginuki and others i never met . greeted Alicia and smiled to Ritsuka when she saw her in Rem's arms.
-So did you find anything?
-Well its possible for a fallen angel to turn into a creature if the loose a wig because it deeply affects their original body and to reduce the damage it transforms into something else. However that might deprive them of the use of their powers.
-Wow , I clap for miss unknown witch who know very much about us. said Shiki smirking.
-Oh , interesting to meet another fallen angel.
-Hmph anyway , you forgot to say something , most fallen angels turns into animals . Its not the case for some but its the more frequent one.
As he said that Alicia turned her head toward the stairs , she definitely felt someone staring at her. Indeed when Silver came out of the room in the morning he hid and listened to the devils conversation. Moreover when Alicia joined them he was very surprised but very happy to see her safe and sound. Unfortunately she felt his presence and looked his way but he managed to hide.
-*sigh* just a little and i would've been caught.
Alicia who felt something watching them used a revealing power and the little fox with suddenly teleported where the devils were .
-I knew there was something eavesdropping our conversation. And it was a cute little fox.
Silver looked away and if he was human he would've blushed.
-I was just curious...murmured the fox when Alicia took him into here arms and hugged the fur ball.
-This voice and those mismatched eyes ... could you be...
-I knew you would recognize me ... Alicia ... Yes its me...
-A-Amon... I ...
Tears of joy welled up in her eyes and she hugged him tightly.
-Alicia , you're going to kill me if you hug me with so much force.
-You idiot , i was so worried i might never see you again.
-You stupid , no matter how much i looked for you i couldn't find you and ask you to help me.
-That wouldn't have happened if you didn't protect me that day , you promise breaker.
-You wouldnt be here hugging me if I didn't you brainless.
Rem cleared his throat interrupting them.
-So Silver or should I say lord Amon, that's why you were asking so much questions yesterday.
-Yes and im really thankful Kaginuki Rem.
-Well we could've saved very much time if you said so from the beginning. added Urie.
-Actually i couldnt i had to see if he was a reliable person.
-Now the problem is how we're going to turn back into your original form. remarked Rem.
-I know how to do that but it will be very difficult. intervened Shiki.
-Dont tell me you want to do that...said Amon.
-That's the only way ex general Amon.
-What are you talking about? asked Ritsuka.
-To turn him back into a fallen angel he needs to return to his original place of birth and recover there . And that would mean going to heaven. It will be very dangerous since , all of us are either devils or fallen angels except for miss Alicia. explained Shiki.
-Yes that's going to be very dangerous...sighed Amon.
-Dont worry we'll turn you back to normal. reassured Alicia.
-Lets come up with a plan , first . adviced Urie.
-Maksis sama! What have i done to go and die in enemy territory ! said Roen dramatically.
-Doggy , man up and try to do something useful for once. scolded Mage.
-In times like these the prince would've been really helpful. said Rem.
-Indeed he's very strong . agreed Amon. Now lets find a plan . We are eight . We'll split into four groups of two , the first pair , will infiltrate the angels like spys to help us move freely in heavens . The second pair and the one i'll be in will go to the center of heavens were the sphere power resides , using that i'll be able to recover my original form of course the first pair would help us by finding the shortest way there and by disabling alarms .The third pair , will get rid of the guards protecting the heart . Finally the last pair will open up a path for us to one of the teleportation doors of heavens so that will be able to escape. Any questions?
-Then who will be in each pair? asked Ritsuka.
-I'll decide that according to the ablities of every one. Mage and Urie you'll be the third pair since you're skilled in fighting. Roen and Shiki you'll be in fourth pair. Shiki because you're known in heavens so you cant infiltrate the angels and since you were an angel you know were all the doors are and the codes to open them. Roen will assist you if you have to fight. In the first pair we'll have Rem because he's very smart and being so good in acting no one could suspect him . Ritsuka you'll go with him because Alicia needs to be with me for she has to transfer some of the heart power to me because she is a witch. Is everything clear?
-Nice plan. said Rem.
-No objections here . added Urie.
-I'll help you, love. spoke Alicia.
-I'll do my best. stated Ritsuka determined.
-It gonna be fun . smirked Shiki.
-Finally I get to beat some angels! exclaimed Mage .
-Maksis sama , bless us. prayed Roen.
-Then let's begin the operations and may all of us come back unscathed. concluded Amon.
I hope you liked this chapter and that i didnt make you wait too long for this one . Dont forget to review and tell me your opinions . Next chapter: Dangerous operation: Heavens assault.
