Prologue
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, nor do I own The Child of Flame by Kate Elliot which this fan fiction is based on, and don't worry if you haven't read it, I'm simply using themes from the story! OK, oh and please R+R, doomo arigato gozaimasu!!!
"..." means a person is talking
'...' means someone's thoughts
- ... means a demon is talking
"Soon my dream shall be realized!!!" the woman shouted throwing her arms up and smiling wickedly. She was enchantingly beautiful with long red tresses, soft pale skin, and full red lips. She was slender with a generous chest. The only mar to her beauty was her cold black eyes and the evil twist to her mouth. The man sitting nearby sighed. He was very handsome with soft brown locks, chocolate eyes, and tan skin. He was fairly young, only 20 or so, and was a fresh sorcerer out of school. He was the woman's husband. 'Someone needs to smack that grin off of her face,' he thought as he watched her with carefully hidden disgust. 'This is the fifth try, why does she expect this one to work?' He was very frustrated at being married to her. The only reason he had agreed was a young man's lust, which had quickly evaporated over the two months they had been married. She never let him near her bed nor did she allow him to dally with other girls. The four other sorcerers she had assembled to help her with the extremely complex spell. It was a spell to bring forth demons and give them human form. He would not help but watch from afar not knowing, nor caring to know, the spell in which they cast. The plan was to bring forth a male demon long enough to get her pregnant then send it back. The babe would be an immortal half-demon, half-sorcerer and all power capable of conquering entire worlds. She would train the child, control and manipulate it, until she would rule over everything. The man shook his head once more, so far they had been unable to call a minor demon let alone a lord demon.
"Shall we begin?" murmured one of the sorcerers and the woman gave a brusque nod. The man's skin began to tingle and he felt power fill the air. 'Here we go again,' he said and let out another sigh before returning to the spell book in his lap. His attention was brought back to the group of sorcerers when the spell reached its climax and couldn't help but look up in anticipation as the power was drawn into the cage strong enough to hold the lord demon. There was a deafening bang of sound and a wave of heat. When the man dared to open his eyes the man forgot to breathe. 'It worked! I can't believe it finally worked!' he cried mentally as he watched the fiery figure attempt to rise in the cage. The sorcerers began to congratulate each other until she let out a scream of rage and frustration.
"No! No, no, NO!!!" she screamed as she pointed at the demon who had rose into a sitting position. The reason of her frustration was quite obvious for the demon was most definitely female as her body wore on flames, which decked her hair and wings and nothing more.
"She's beautiful!" the man breathed finally speaking. His wife finally remembered her husband's presence and turned to vent her rage on him. He steeled himself and gulped as he prepared for the outburst but she checked herself and another smile spread over her face.
"Leave us!" she shouted at the others and soon the garden was empty except for the husband and wife, and the demon. "This might still work out," she murmured pulling him to his feet and leading him to the cage. "What do you think of her?" she whispered seductively in his ear and his breath quickened as he looked the demon up and down his eyes filling with the light of hunger.
"She's enchanting, perfect in every way," was the only thing he could get out.
"I could make her yours..." she said.
This caused him to turn on her "how?!"
"Simple, the spell placed on her allows you to touch her without disintegrating the same way you can look at her. I'll give her to you, all you have to do is get her pregnant and when she gives birth you must turn the child over to me to raise," she explained searching his eyes carefully.
"All right! Fine I'll do anything," he said kneeling down beside the cage.
"Good, I'll leave you two alone," she said with a sneer before hurrying into the convent that the garden was surrounded by. It was a secluded place, which allowed them to work their magic in peace. Unfortunately the advantage would be used for evil and an unborn child was about to become the central figure in the largest battle in history.
~ Ka'li'li's POV ~
They were watching me. I writhed in the agony that burned in the very center of my being. I felt the child burning to get out, absorbing my weak flames to prepare for its birth. All I had to do was get the child out and then I would be free. But that also meant leaving my little one in the hands of these mortals. The man was kind and I trusted him to take care of his offspring but the woman with dark eyes would only harm it. "It is time, don't forget you promised the child to me!" dark eyes said gleefully and the man winced.
Don't let her have it... I managed to gasp out, this was the first time I had spoken in front of dark eyes and she gasped. But I didn't have time to worry about that, the child was almost out. The poor thing being half mortal could not come home with me right away, I was afraid for it. It was out, I felt myself being drawn back home but there was something that needed to be said first. Listen dark eyes! In sixteen years the child will be ready to come home and I will come for it! We demons never forget our own! Do not attempt to hide it from me for we will reduce this world and all other worlds to ashes to find it! And if you have harmed it you will burn for all eternity in the pain and agony of hell!!! I screamed expanding my flames for a better effect and causing all of them to draw back. I spotted my child wrapped in a pale orange cloth in the hands of one of the servants but in the last moment I locked eyes with the man and finally I returned home to my father and brothers and sisters.
~ Da(the man)'s POV ~
I was unable to tear my gaze away from her as she finally returned home. The gaze no mortal was ever supposed to be able to match; and in that brief moment she gave me one commandment heard only by me keep our child away from dark eyes!
"Let me see the child!" my wife said eagerly holding her arms out to the servant.
"Wait!" I shouted going completely out-of-character from the obedient husband.
"What dear..." she said dangerously.
"Let me see my child first I beg of you! It's all I have left of its mother!" I cried gazing at my wife pleadingly.
"Oh very well you sentimental fool! Everyone out! I'll give you one hour of father child bonding time, then the brat's mine!" she said swiftly turning on her heels leading everyone away except for me and the servant with the child.
"It is a fine and healthy boy my lord!" the servant or nanny said with a smile as she turned the baby over to me and moved out of listening reach.
"Hello little one," I murmured rocking the child. "You need a name don't you? How about, Taichi?" I said putting the simple spell of name recognition on him so anyone who touched him would know his name was Taichi. It would wear off in a year or so but that long would serve my purpose. I let a tear of regret fall down my cheek as I began reciting the spell to open a portal between to worlds, and I was careful to hide which world this portal opened up into. Naturally the moment I finished was when the hour was up and my wife came back. She realized what the portal was for instantly.
"You can't!!! We made a deal! You promised the child to me!!!" she screeched as she hurried to stop or follow our entry.
"Forgive me Taichi, but cannot be there for you," I whispered and cast the crying child into the portal. In all of her rage my wife did something stupid. She cast a spell at me. The portal snapped shut as everything around me went dark and I slid into eternal sleep.
Meanwhile on the other side of the gate the newly weds Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya(AN: I don't know their last name in Japanese Ok, gomenasai!) were walking through the park after the doctor had informed Mrs. Kamiya that she could not become pregnant. They paused as they heard a crying sound and turned to see a hungry, flustered, and scared newborn baby screaming at the top of its lungs. They turned to each other smiling with tears of happiness rolling down Mrs. Kamiya's cheeks and picked up the baby. "Darling, may we? I've already picked out a name! This could be our son! Taichi!" Mrs. Kamiya said pleadingly. Her husband nodded and they quickly returned home to stop the crying and feed the poor child.
AN: Boy that was long... I guess that I was on a roll there wouldn't you say?
