"Have you ever wondered what happened to your grandfather, Mion? And why he wasn't there to see you and your sister being born?"
Mion closed her eyes, trying to bite back the creeping fear mounting in her heart. It had always been a family policy to not inquire about Saburou Sonozaki because of the mysterious circumstances of his utter disappearance. Now that he had been brought up again, Mion couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Remain calm. It's only an illusion. Yuuki would never be a demon . . . Not Yuuki. "You killed him?" she asked, hiding her sorrow behind her bravado.
"And so much more," Yuuki hissed, drawing close to Mion again. She grasped her arms in one hand and pinned them in front of her, smashing the Sonozaki heir into the wall again. She made a point to peer deep into her eyes before continuing. "I did the same thing to him what I am going to do to you. After I had my first taste with your ancestors, I made a point to kill one Sonozaki a year. There was always something about your flavor I always liked." As if to prove a point, Yuuki leaned in and gently licked Mion's cheek, shivering as the salty sweet of her skin coated her tongue.
Mion winced as a cold sweat formed on her temple, magnified only by a deep blush. She had to will herself not to coil her arms around Yuuki's waist and kiss her passionately. "I-I'm flattered," she stammered peering into her cold amber eyes, matching her intimation level, if not topping it. "Although, you'll find out soon that I'm pretty hard to kill." Mion pushed herself from the wall by only a few centimeters, but it was more than enough to ease her way around to slide her foot behind her beloved's ankle.
"Practice makes perfect, Akuma!" she hissed into her ear as she brought the demon down into the layers of bedrock that made up the ground of the torture chamber. She inwardly felt guilty for hurting her, but Mion had to remind herself that this wasn't the same beautiful blonde girl she had fallen in love with. She was a demon through and through. Without another word, Mion dashed from Yuuki's side and through the wooden doors of the chamber, scurrying up the stairs frantically until her footsteps were no more than ghostly echoes resounding off the walls.
Yuuki stood in one fluid motion but didn't bother to go after Mion. Instead, she grinned and nodded, beginning a slow, sarcastic round of applause. "Nicely done. You've evaded me this time, but let's see for how long. We'll meet again, I guarantee it."
Thank you for previewing this little bit. Stick around for more in the coming sequel "Clocks". Mind you, if things don't make sense now, then they will. This is only a teaser.
