Chapter TwentySix

Syusuke sealed the door to the cave behind him. He would not be stopped. He pulled his clothing off, tossing it aside as he dug through the chest that he had left behind in the caves. Tezuka had located them when he and his father had come. He grabbed some of his old demon garbs, still a pristine white in color. Deciding on a top with a standing collar and long sleeves that fit tightly without restricting his movement. It laced up the front, fitting it tight to his body until it split at his waist into front and back panels that reached his ankles, the back of it had an opening where his wings used to go through. Under it, he wore a pair of fitted trousers that laced along the sides, allowing him to loosen them enough to make room for his rounding belly. He tied a powder blue sash around his waist and fastened tenshinosasayaki to it. On his feet, he put on his thigh-high boots. As soon as he was dressed, he tied his hair into a tight braid.

No one followed him. Perhaps they had not realized that he went straight to the cave to put on his demon clothing. Syusuke sealed the door as he left. He would find his husband. That was not even a question…

Tezuka sat against a stone wall, he had been stripped off of everything except for his trousers. His hands were bound and a collar and chain kept him bound to the wall. It was a dungeon of sorts and the temperature was excruciatingly hot. His body was covered in welts, bruises, bloody gashes, sweat, and even dirt. His glasses were also taken from him and smashed against the wall, leaving him with limited eyesight. He groaned and adjusted his position.

"Human..." A deep male voice called out to him. A blurry silhouette.

Wetting his mouth, Tezuka groaned again. "What do you want?" he asked.

The silhouette moved closer, crouching down before him and grabbing his chin. "You still have too much spirit in you," he said and released Tezuka's chin. "No matter. Your pretty little wife has played into our trap. He has left your infant with the elf and is on his way to find you." He chuckled when he received a nasty glare. "Oh please, you couldn't even withstand my sedatives. Your scary face will not do you any good." He stood. "Anyway. It will be a while before he figures out where I have hidden you."

Tezuka glared at the figure. There was little he could do. He hoped and prayed that Syusuke would give up and go home. He would be safer, their children would be safer. He, himself would surely die, but at least they would be fine. Logically, he knew well his death would not solve anything but to be one less pawn to be used against Syusuke. He also knew that Syusuke would not give up for any reason.

"I have no intention of hurting him." The demon silhouette said. "I am powerful, he is powerful, his promised offspring will be even more powerful. Can you imagine what combining our genes would do? Ah, I would never leave that womb empty. He would birth babe after babe for me. Don't worry, I will take good care of the half breeds you two have created together. They too are powerful despite the handicap bestowed upon them with your disgusting genes." Suddenly he laughed. He could sense the peek of Tezuka's temper. "Even better, when little Kiyoko is a full grown woman, I will make use of her as well! Mother and daughter will make sure I have an army offspring!"

With an angry huff, Tezuka tried to break the binds, causing chains to rattle. He'd slaughter this demon if he could just get his hands on him.

The demon laughed more, taunting the human before tutting. "Papa's little girl. How sweet. I thought you were an emotionless drone or something. But you can be ruffled. What is better, the offspring can create offspring of their own. Demons suffer no ill effect of interbreeding." Once again Tezuka attempted to free himself. "It is useless. Don't bother fighting."

"Syusuke will kill you before you can even breathe her name," Tezuka said, his monotone returning to his voice. This only got him a loud laugh before the silhouette left, stopping to say something to a slender silhouette before disappearing. The figure moved closer and knelt in front of him.

"I have brought you water." A soft female voice said. "You must drink your fill to keep your strength," she said, pressing a ladle to his parched lips. "Domnius has had his fun with you, I doubt he will be returning to mess with you for a while depending on how much time it takes your wife to figure out where you are," she said. She watched as he sipped the water ladle after ladle. "Despite his hatred of humans, he has no intention of killing you as long as your wife plays along." Standing up, she moved away. "I will fetch something for you to eat."

Tezuka slumped against the wall and closed his eyes, silently pleading with Syusuke to not come for him. It was useless, even if Syusuke could hear his thoughts, he would not listen.

Syusuke laid back against a tree, looking up into the branches. He was so tired. It had been a couple of days since he left. He ate very little and had not slept. He missed his husband and babe which made his chest hurt. Pulling his knees to his chest he buried his face into his arms which he laid atop of his knees. Silently he begged his husband to be okay, to not give in to whatever he may be facing. Guardian or not, he was without weapon and armor which made him no different than an ordinary human. "Kunimitsu..." He whimpered.

"Crying out for your beloved human will not make him suddenly appear, my beautiful. You must come to me if you wish to find your human." A deep disembodied voice rang through the silence.

Lifting his head, Syusuke grunted. "Who are you?"

"I am Domnius. I have your beloved human, to get him back, all you must do is come to me. It is so simple. I will allow you a goodbye with him before I send him back to his family and take you for myself. It is simple. I will not harm you, or you fetuses, or your infant."

"Nng… 'Mitsu..." Syusuke whimpered. "Where is he?"

"Come home, beautiful child."

Syusuke growled. "Humans can not survive hellfire! How can you have him there? You're killing him!"

"All the more reason you hurry along. Come to me."

Opening a portal to hell was fairly easy. Anyone could do it. Even Kiyoko could do it if shown how. Syusuke passed through the portal, closing it immediately. He could sense Tezuka as soon as he had stepped through and a sigh of relief escaped his lips.

Contrary to popular depictions, Hell was not all brimstone and fire. It was hot, very hot. There was lots of fire, brimstone, and even lava. Ambient sounds were that of daily living and the tortured screams of the damned. Other than that it looked and operated much the same as the towns on Earth. The whole realm contained demonic magics that polluted the air.

"Welcome home."

Syusuke ignored the voice as he walked through the streets of the underworld. He caught the attention of many demons who watched as he went by. He did not pay them any attention and they did not bother to chase after him. He was trying to figure out just exactly where Tezuka was while staying on guard. Suddenly, pain shot through his back, causing him to double over and fall to his knees. The pain concentrated near his shoulder blades, at the scars where his wings used to be. He could feel his flesh tearing and blood flowing down his back. Sickening sounds of bones snapping and crackling sounded from behind him.

It did not take long for the wings to emerge from Syusuke's back, with a loud crack and the tearing of fabric, the new wings expanded to full span, splattering the area with blood. He whimpered for a brief second as his head spun and his stomach lurched.

"What lovely wings, otouto," Yumiko said suddenly, causing the other demon to jump to his feet and spin around to see her.

"She's right, aniki, those are better than the ones you were born with," Yuta added, standing beside their sister with his arms crossed. When cerulean eyes set on him he waved lazily. "Long time no see. What brings you home?"

"My husband has been taken and is here. You can sense that, just as you sensed my arrival. Must you ask needless questions, Yuta?" Syusuke asked, pulling the new leathery appendages around himself. They were just as pristine as his original wings, though they were definitely bigger with a larger span. Then there were also pristine white feathers along the top bone of his wing and he could feel the down feathers against his back. He would have to inspect them carefully later. Folding them against his back, he turned his full attention back to his siblings.

The other two siblings looked at each other for a moment before Yumiko slung an arm around Syusuke and nuzzled him while her free hand slipped down to rest on his lower abdomen. "Oh my, otouto, it seems you have been quite busy." she cooed and rubbed his belly. "Anyway!" she began and moved away. "We know your human is here, we knew the moment he was brought here. He will die if you do not hurry. Domnius has him."

"He wants you, and has been talking about going after little Kiyoko," Yuta said. Watching the confused look on his brother's face.

"What do you care?"

Yumiko sighed. "Otouto, she is our family too, as are you, and regardless of how we feel for humans; so is your husband, and 'that' growing inside you," she said gesturing to his stomach. "Mother and father are not happy with your choice of partners either. However, we are not about to let Domnius sully our genes. Moreover, Yuta and I never agreed to you being exiled. You are our brother after all. Furthermore, mother and father want you to return home with the children, perhaps it is time to mend our family."

Syusuke conceded, he did not have time to make issues over it all. He needed Tezuka, and he was going to need all the help he could get. "There are two."

"Hm?"

"There are two babes," Syusuke repeated, this time he placed a hand on his stomach. "Will you help me get him back?" he asked and his siblings nodded.

"Me too, pretty baby."

Syusuke spun around to be greeted by a familiar head of unruly black hair. "Ayaka." he breathed out and the other demon grinned. "Thank you."

Ayaka hummed and waved the gratitude off, it was not necessary.

Kiyoko screamed loudly as she flailed. Seiji held the infant tight in his arms, trying to soothe her. She was terribly upset over being left and she was clearly worried for her mother. "Calm down, child. Your mother is fine. He will be home before you know it."

"Mama!" Kiyoko pushed against the elf.

"Here, allow me.." Adeodatus said from over Rina's shoulder as they watched over the scene. He held out his arms for and was promptly handed Kiyoko who stared at him with large eyes and he smiled sweetly. "Hello, little one. My name in Adeodatus." He said, instantly Kiyoko screamed, her little fists balled. "Such a temper."

Kiyoko pushed against Adeodatus with all her might, trying desperately to get away from him but he held her tight. "Mama! Mama!" she screamed and attempted to flutter her wings to free. "Mama!"

Adeodatus hummed and shushed her. "Calm yourself, little one. Your mama is not here but he will return soon enough. You will be taken care of until then." he cooed, Kiyoko calmed slightly, sniffling and hiccuping. He smiled at her softly. "There you go," he said and looked to Seiji. "Perhaps some fresh air and a distraction will do her good."

Rina nodded, blushing slightly as she watched Adeodatus take care of Kiyoko. "I think that is a good idea, Deo. The children running about might offer her some distraction and take her mind off of Syusuke. Father, what do you think?"

The elf studied the westerner. Apart from coming to town to turn the village against Syusuke and that Rina seemed to have taken a liking to him, he seemed okay as a person but he neither liked or trusted him. Kiyoko was very precious to him just like her parents. "Very well, but should something happen to the babe you will not survive to see tomorrow," he warned.

"That's enough, father," Rina growled, glaring at the other elf. "Nothing is going to happen to her. Honestly."

Seiji returned the glare tenfold. "Kiyoko was left in my care. I am responsible to give her back to her parents happy and healthy. Adeodatus is affiliated with guardians and against Syusuke's existence. Kiyoko is Syusuke's child, a half demon." he said bluntly and turned on his heel, leaving the room. He was not about to argue. He had said his peace, and now would get some work done. "Masao. Come."

"Sei, are you alright?" Masao asked as he followed his lover.

"I am, I need you to keep an eye on him, please. Come get me if he does anything suspicious." Seiji directed. The okami nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you," he said and gave Masao a quick kiss before letting him leave. He loved his daughter, but he was sure her brain was clouded with the feelings of a new love interest.

"Domnius is powerful, Syusuke. He is powerful enough to mask who he is. You ought to not put yourself in too much danger, not in your condition." Yumiko said and gestured to her brother's stomach as they followed the direction of Tezuka. Not that they needed to follow, Domnius' home was well known.

They were led to a large house behind a big iron gate. Ayaka pushed open the gate and they passed through, Syusuke ran into the house, the other three followed suit, making sure to keep on his heels. The house was deserted. Not a single being was about. This did not bode well. Even so, Syusuke took off, rushing down several flights of stairs before bursting into a room.

"Pretty baby, wait a minute!" Ayaka called out. The said demon spun around, his plaited hair flowed after his movement like a giant whip. Cerulean eyes stared at him, questioning him. "Allow us to be beside you," he said.

Tezuka sat against a wall with his arms bound above his head. His body was riddled with welts, cuts, bruises, and stained with dirt and blood. His body was slick with sweat and his trousers tattered.

"Kunimitsu!" Syusuke yelped. The human lifted his head to look. He had been tortured, that went without saying. Anger and rage ripped through him, this Domnius would pay for this, gravely. He dropped to his knees beside his human. "Oh 'Mitsu..." he whined and reached up, breaking the chains and then the binds with ease.

"Syu..." Tezuka said, his voice broke from lack of use and was extremely hoarse. He reached out pulling his husband close. "You should not have come, Syusuke."

The demon shook his head and nuzzled the human. "That was never going to happen," he said. "We need to get you home," he said and kissed the human. He stood and helped Tezuka up onto his feet. Yuta quickly took his place, holding his husband up.

"It would seem you have found the human. I may have gotten a little over playful with him. He'll live. Tell me, beautiful. While you are here, who is looking after your precious daughter?"

Syusuke quickly looked at Tezuka. "She's safe," he answered. Moments later the door to the room Tezuka was kept in blew open, a large man stood in the doorway and in his arms was a distressed Kiyoko. Immediately Ayaka caught him around the waist, keeping him from running to save the babe. "You!" he growled.

Domnius grinned. "We finally meet."

"Pretty baby, do not let him get to you," Ayaka said against a pointed ear. "He won't hurt your babe, Not if he is so desperate for you." The demon in his arms nodded in agreement. "Deal with the human first."

Once he was let go, Syusuke stood in front of his husband. He reached up and caressed Tezuka's face. "For once, I got to rescue you." he chuckled sadly. He had never seen Tezuka so beaten, even his spirit seemed to be broken. Being in Hell does that to damned souls, he could not imagine what it would do to a living human. He hoped with his entire being that Tezuka's blessed existence would save him. "I am sending you back. My brother will make sure you get to Seiji safely. Wait for me. I won't be long."

Tezuka nodded. He was so tired and so hot. His body hurt everywhere and his already bad eyesight seemed to have diminished further, making him near blind. He had very little will to argue about any of it, even though he disliked it completely. "Please be careful, my angel," he said, cupping Syusuke's face with a hand and kissing his forehead.

With that, Yuta scooped up the weakened human and took off, he'd return to his bother's side as soon as he saw to the safety of the human.

"You," Syusuke said and turned his attention to the demon holding his infant who was trying desperately to get free. "You were standing in the Tezuka's house."

"Adeodatus. I am sure your husband told you of me as I have been with him and the..."

Kiyoko screamed, interrupting Domnius and pushed against him. Her little arms and legs pushed as hard as they could to get away. Suddenly he grabbed her by her wings. It hurt. It hurt a lot. She screamed again. "Mama! Mama!" It hurts.

Before either Yumiko or Ayaka could respond, Syusuke was across the room, tenshinosasayaki pressed against Domnius' throat as he grabbed Kiyoko from him. Once safely in his arms, Syusuke bounced backward and away from Domnius. He snuggled Kiyoko for a brief second. "You are okay, my precious. Here, stay with your auntie, she will keep you safe," he said and passed the infant off to Yumiko who snuggled her. Turning his attention back to Domnius he moved into an attack pose, Ayaka coming up beside him and took up a stance of his own.

Yuta stood near the fountain in the town center. He had set Tezuka by the fountain on the ground. "Hey, where is this healer of yours?" he asked. It was well into the night and the streets were empty.

"He's got an okami… Yell for him." Tezuka took a deep breath. The cool air of the night felt so good. "Masao.."

"'Kay," Yuta said and took a breath. "Hey! Masao!" He yelled as instructed. "Syusuke's human needs help or he's going to die!" He heard the weakened human cough so he crouched beside him. "Hey, are you okay?" Tezuka nodded. Standing back up he cupped his hands in the fountain, collecting water in his hand, then crouched again. "Tilt your head back and open your mouth. I got some water," he said and once Tezuka did as asked he poured the water into the human's mouth.

Masao and Seiji ran to the town center, both half dressed with bed head and no shoes. Seiji carried a bag of medical supplies. They stopped at the sight of the demon tending to Tezuka.

"Stop staring," Yuta said suddenly. "I'm Syusuke's brother. He asked me to bring him to you."

Seiji was the first to move, dropping down beside the human. "Where was he?"

"In Hell. Literally."

Seiji hummed and waved his lover over. He handed a cloth to Masao and gestured to the fountain. "Ring that into his mouth, 'Sao." he said while looking over the wounds. "I will tend to him. Thank you. Get out of here before the guardians catch wind of you. Make sure your brother gets back to us safely." Yuta nodded and wasted no time leaving. "We need to cool him and wash his body, Masao," he said and pushed Tezuka's hair out of his face. "He certainly did a number on you. Syu is going to slaughter him…"

"Yeah..." Tezuka responded before finally losing consciousness.

A/N: Ooooooh! Exciting. I wonder what will happen next?

Guest: I am sure we will see how powerful they will become eventually.

Guest: Yes, I love Syusuke so very much. He's my favorite and I cherish him. I know I put him through a lot in this story. It broke my heart to do so, however, was very much needed for story progression. But, yes, rest assured I really do love him.
