Megami~sama peeks out from under a rock "Is it safe?" She says taking a few paranoid glances around.
"Okay everybody I'm really, really sorry this chapter took so long. I've been apart of they writer's protection program due to all the death threats na no da."
Suddenly there is a noise behind her; she swiftly turns around to find Raenef.
"Oh it's you" breathing a sigh of relief as she glanced at the cute demon lord.
Raenef's eyes darkened and out of no where he pushed a gun into her head. "Just start the damn story already.
"Ahh…okay"
"Yeah!!!" he shouted with a smile twirling the gun around.
A Sister's Touch
By Yaoi Goddess Kome
Chapter 5: A Demon Lord's Future
"What have I done?" The words quietly echoed across the lonely concrete room. "But Solstice and him… I was so sure." Eclipse said as his eyes focused on the tearstained ground. /He cried because of me. That was my chance, all I had to do was kiss him, hold him tight, but I couldn't even reach out to him./ the demon thought as he rose to his feet. "And now it's too late."
"It's not too late."
Recognizing Solstice's voice Eclipse turned around to face her.
"All you hav…." Her words ceased as she looked into Eclipse's eyes, the angry black clouds glaring at her with pain and hatred.
"What does it matter to you? Isn't this the reason you came here?"
"I..." she started quivering under his dark stare "I never meant to hurt…"
"I've heard that line before. Remember it was the time I caught you with my first boyfriend. So save your meaningless drivel for someone who cares.
"That was different." she said with a nervous look on her face.
"How so? After Embra died I thought I'd never love again and then I met Raenef, the gentlest boy to ever own the title of demon lord and you have to come take him away just like the first time." He said, his tone softening as he spoke of Raenef.
"Back then, he was trying to kissing me, and you ran away before I could explain, and…"
"You know, it really doesn't matter anymore, I just find it funny how history repeats it's self." Eclipse said turning away. "But I guess the oracle was right." His mind flashed back to Raenef and Solstice laughing in the study. "I'm sure you'll be able to make him happier then I ever could."
"No." Solstice whispered.
"What do mean? You should be happy sister. Congratulations, you've won."
Eclipse's sorrowful sarcasm angered Solstice. "You know something, the oracle was right, the best person for Raenef was chosen because the chosen one is you."
"What?" the demon said thinking he must have heard wrong.
"The oracle chose you, Eclipse."
"But if that's so, why are you here?"
"Well the demon council couldn't believe a demon as coldhearted as you would fall for his own student and considering you're the fourth most powerful demon in existence forcing you to court Raenef was out of the question. So they sent me here on surveillance, to find out how you two felt about each other. I knew I'd have to fight with you, but was happy to be chosen." She said with a smile as she forced back her unshed tears. "I've missed you a lot."
Eclipse's head was spinning "I'm really his chosen one, but…"
"But it doesn't matter if the oracle chose you or not because Raenef chose you. So go to him and make things right."
"Solstice…" He said with an apologetic face trying to summon up the right word to say.
"Go already" she said with a smile, and in an instance he was gone. /Eclipse…this time around, I truly hope, it lasts forever./
~~~~~~~~~~
Raenef appeared in his room, plopping down on his bed, clutching onto the nearest pillow. /Why did I kiss him?/ he thought releasing a long sigh as tears began to flow. /I knew he wouldn't return my feelings and now he hates me. Eclipse will leave just like I told him to and I'll never see him again./ Raenef's heart hurt as he wept, hugging onto the pillow tighter in order to absorb his falling tears. /Demon lords aren't supposed to cry./ he thought as he sat up and tried to wipe his tears away. He took a deep breath. /Who am I kidding I'm not a demon lord, I'm nothing without him./
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Raenef's eyes widened, but he didn't respond as his heart clenched in his chest.
"Raenef, it's me."
/Eclipse…maybe he does care about me after all/ Raenef thought as he walked to the door. He reached out to turn the knob but hesitated. /No. It's not true/
"Please open the door we need to talk."
Raenef stood behind the door gently resting his forehead against the hollow wood as newly formed tears began to flow.
"Raenef, I'm sorry."
The demon lord wanted to open the door so badly. To rush into Eclipse's arms and hear the demon tell him that he loved him, but he knew that was just a silly fantasy. /He's probably only apologizing because I'm a demon lord, well I don't want to hear it./
Several silent minutes passed and Raenef raised his head from the door. /Goodbye Eclipse./ he thought whipping the leftover tears from his eyes. He turned back towards the bed, but froze as he saw Eclipse standing in the doorframe of the balcony
"How many times have told you to close this door, in case of invaders?" he said in his normal, cold tone. /Argg. You're supposed to apologizing not giving orders./
"What do you care?" Raenef said reflexively trying to remain strong.
Eclipse softened his expression as his dark orbs latched onto the demon lord's bloodshot eyes. "I do care… if anything ever happened to you I do know what I'd do."
Raenef scowled "Stop it, I said you don't have to serve me anymore so there is no need to pretend you care about me.
"But I…"
"I've given up on becoming a demon lord, so here's you chance, feel free to tell me what you really think of me."
Eclipse bowed his head, realizing just how much he had hurt Raenef. "I…"
"Go ahead, tell me. It's okay, I want to know." He said with a fake laugh to prepare himself.
"I love you."
Raenef's face froze on shock for a moment , but then snapped out of his daze shaking his head. He was about to yell at Eclipse calling him a liar, but his words were swallowed as his gaze fell upon the demon. His eyes widened as he watched a single teardrop slowly slide down Eclipse's face. Subconsciously Raenef reached out as the small droplet reached the edge of the demon's chin, catching the tear in his hand. The green eyes stared at the pigmy puddle in his palm for a moment and then slowly drifted up to Eclipses gaze, which stared back at him with such hope.
"You really mean it, don't you?"
Eclipse simply nodded in fear of saying something stupid.
"Then why didn't you kiss me back?"
"I was in shock… I had head you and Solstice talking in the study and I thought you had chosen her." he said, starring at the floor. "I've wanted to you for so long, but I couldn't bring myself admit it. I just hope you can forgive me."
Eclipse's head shot up as he felt Raenef wrap his arms around his neck, holding onto him tightly as the demon lord rested his head on his shoulder.
"Apology accepted." Raenef whispered and then loosened his hold on Eclipse so he could look into demon's dark eyes. "And I love you too." he said, his eyes sparkling as Eclipse shot Raenef one of his rare smiles, that only existed for the demon lord.
The demon wrapped his hands around Raenef placing one hand on the small of the demon lord's back and the other behind his head. Eclipse slowly leaned down, his lips gently meeting Raenef's.
The demon lord was delighted to taste the demon's sweet lips once more, but his eyes widened as he felt Eclipse lick is lips, silently asking to enter.
The demon slowly slipped through Raenef's lips causing a soft giggle from the demon lord as their tongues met. Eclipse quickly took control as he caressed Raenef, smiling to himself as the demon lord's giggle turned into a low moan of pleasure.
Raenef tugged on Eclipse's neck pulling him foreword into the kiss, but as the demon lord leaned back he lost his balance falling onto the bed, taking Eclipse with him.
Raenef blushed as he felt the demon on top of him.
Eclipse propped himself up onto his elbows, and looked down at Raenef, who lost himself in the dark abyss of the demon's eyes and the strands of ebony hair that flowed down around him.
The demon lord gulped. /He's so beautiful./
Eclipse smiled down at the demon lord. "You know, you're adorable when you blush," he said making Raenef turn a new shade of crimson. "But there's nothing to be nervous about. I promise, I will never do anything to hurt you ever again." Eclipse said in a serious tone, placing a kiss on the demon lord's forehead. "Well I guess I should go now. Sleep well Raenef" and with that stared to get up, but as he pulled away he felt a harsh tug on his hair.
"But, I don't want you to leave." Raenef pouted as he leaned foreword placing a sloppy wet kiss on Eclipse lips, drawing the demon back on top of him.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Raenef nodded in response, wrapping his arms back around the demon.
Eclipse grinned and reached out to turn off the light, but before he could the demon lord's gently stopped him "But before we do, can I ask you something?"
A worried look crossed Eclipse face. "Sure what is it?"
Raenef bit his lip. "Is it true you cried over a stuffed dragon?" he said and hen smiled with an evil grin.
Eclipse's jaw dropped /Solstice/ "Yes" he said in pouty a voice.
Raenef continued to smile brightly "Good. That's all" he said turning off the light and pulling Eclipse's robe down over his solders.
~~~~~The Next Morning~~~~~
Eclipse awoke, his eyelids opening, forming two narrow slits. With out moving from his pillow he peered across the room to a grandfather clock. /8:23 uh. Go back to sleep./ he told himself closing his eyes. Feeling a chill he and pulled on the sheets to over his bare chest, but they wouldn't budge.
Suddenly his eyes popped open /Wait a minute I don't have a grandfather clock in my room./ he thought and started to sit up, when he noticed an arm draped across his waist. He rolled over to his right side and found Raenef slumbering next to him, tightly wrapped the sheets. Eclipse smiled at the sleeping demon lord, thinking back to the events the previous night while lightly moving a few stay hairs out of his face. Eclipse's eyes seemed to sparkle with emotion, a certain feeling he hadn't felt in a long time, happiness.
"I love you Raenef" he softly whispered while lightly stoking the young demon lord's check."
"Awwwww. You're so cute"
"Solstice?!?" he said quickly sitting up, somehow managing not to disturb the demon lord's sleep. He found his sister sitting in the corner looking rather smug and glared at her.
She just smiled. "You know you really should keep the balcony door locked incase of invaders."
"Argg. What are you doing here?"
"Well to be honest, I just wanted to look in on you two before I left."
/She's leaving!/ "Where do you plan on going?" he said trying to hide his concern.
"Back to where I came from." she with a grin. "No need to worry, I too am in service to a demon lord. This was just a like a little vacation for me.
With no response from Eclipse, Solstice stood from her seat "Well I better be going, I have to report in and all." She said and started to turn away.
"Hey sis" He said causing her to turn back "Don't be a stranger."
Solstice smiled brightly as she nodded in reply and then vanished from the room.
"Eclipse" Raenef mumbled his green eyes opening just a sliver.
"I'm right here." he said kissing the demon lord on the forehead. "Go back to sleep."
~~~~~~~~~~
Solstice took one last look at the couple through the glass balcony doors as she contacted the demon council.
"Yes…mission accomplished."
"Congratulations Solstice"
"Lord Krayon?" she said turning her head to see the demon lord behind her.
"There, is no need to be so formal." He said as he hugged her from behind and looked in on the sleeping couple.
"Sorry, force of habit. So what are you doing here?
"I came to see you of course. You've only been gone a couple of days, but I was afraid you might actually fall for this demon lord, Raenef."
Solstice let out a laugh. "Do you honestly think I could forget about you that easily?"
"I suppose not." he said with a cheesy grin, but I still don't understand why the council had to send you here, I mean don't they have people to handle this sort of thing."
"They couldn't have just sent anyone to get you two together she said turning around to face Krayon, wrapping her arms around his neck. "No, this job needed a sister's touch." She said with a smile.
"Let's go home."
Solstice nodded and in a flash the two were gone, leaving the castle of the ditzy demon lord and the ruthless demon, or should I say the two new lovers, behind.
The End
So what do you think??? (Dashing back under the rock)
Well this fic is finally over (with the exception that I might write out the lemon and post it on adultfanfiction.net. Maybe.) Writing my first chapter fic has been an interesting little 7-month journey and I'd like to thank everyone who's review especially those who have stuck with me from the beginning. I really hoped you liked it. If I got at least one person to smile I can be fulfilled. (Come on, the Smokey bit was funny and you know it. ^_~) It's kind of sad to come to and end although there is a very loud voice in the back of my head shooting "Freedom". Sorry it's just that I've barely read any fanfiction while I've been writing this and the Demon Diary category has grown practically 5 times bigger from when I started, so I have a lot to catch up on, na no da. Well, bye for now and please leave review or I'll have to send Raenef out after you. ^___^
Love Always,
Megami~sama
P.S. A few closing notes:
Mary Sue?
I'm fairly new to the world of fanfiction, so until a short while ago I had no idea what a Mary Sue was, considering this was my first time I thought up an OC for a fic. Now chapters 1-4 I would swear Solstice wasn't a Mary Sue, she was a tool created for the purpose of getting Eclipse and Raenef together and that's what she did, but considering I ended the story with her, I'm beginning to wonder. I mean Eclipse and Raenef were happy so I thought before she left I would give a small look into her life and make sure she was happy too. I don't know, if you have any comments on that feel free to write me. Of course if I was really trying to make Solstice a reflection of myself and my desires, she wouldn't be Eclipse's sister, if you get my drift. ^_~
Krayon!
The idea for Solstice and Krayon to get together came to me, when one of my earlier reviewers, Lady Rune, asked me if Krayon was going to be in this fic, although this was before I had read book 4. Then after I read it and looked at Solstice's picture and thought they'd make an interesting couple, although looking now I realize their taste in clothing color, clashes something horrid. ^_^ I was originally going to introduce Krayon as a plot twist, but then decided I wanted to wrap this fic up, so he just got to make a brief cameo appearance.
If you're still listening to my pointless babble, you get a hug from me. ^_^ (Yaoi, I really am self-centered.)
