Demon Pyre

Disclaimers: We can't all own Eclipse. *sad sigh* Or Raenef(s). Or even that fruity booty Krayon. Or the amusing duo Erutis and Chris. So yeah. Or anything else Demon Diary, unless you keep a diary called "Demon Diary". I dunno...just don't bug me unless you like this stuff. ^^

Summary: Takes place in an alternate universe. Eclipse loyally serves his lord and master Raenef the 4th, but one fateful day Raenef's deviant son catches said servant's eye...

Author's Note: Hi again! I thank all those who gave me feedback, I really appreciate it! I didn't think I would get any reviews that fast. ^^ Arigato. This chapter is a little bit longer and more explicit then the one before. So, if you can't take it, don't read it, m'kay? Well, if any of these characters are OOC, oh well. Raenef the 5th will be out of character sometimes(which is to fit in my little plot demon here. ^^), but hey, this is a fanfic. I'll do what I want. Oh yeah, this is a different take on Raenef the 4th. Maybe he's not the jerk he seems to be in volumes 5 and 6. Maybe he just wants to be with his beloved servant forever. *winks* Well, I hope you like it, and if not, oh well. But if you do, please R&R.

Chapter Two: "Unfading Memory"

"Raenef! Lord Raenef!" A somewhat younger Eclipse called as he strode fast, searching for his tiny missing master. It was raining hard, so hard it was numbing his soaked body.

Thunder boomed and lightning flashed at the same time. Eclipse walked faster; fear prickling into him like thousands of tiny needles. Thunder roared again and Eclipse heard a distinct scream, near the castle grounds. It sounded like his lord was in trouble.

He started to sprint, praying that he didn't slip on the muddy ground or trip in a puddle. His senses intensified and they told him that he was getting much closer and that his master was in grave peril.

He came upon the scene of his child-master, backed up against the castle wall by demon rogues who probably intended to covet the castle and everything else of value.

Raenef didn't appear to be seriously or critically injured, besides from the obvious bruises and blood dribbling from his mouth. No doubt his little lord had tried to take them on, as any demon lord would. He felt a surge of pride for Raenef when he thought of this, especially since some of the thieves were wounded themselves.

Raenef stood his ground and continued to glare at the thieves, not even aware that Eclipse was standing nearby.

"Come here, pretty little boy! Or are you a girl? We really can't tell. But we sure as hell can find out! We won't hurt you. We are your friends!" The shortest thief leered.

"Yeah, pretty boy, we only intend to take you and your castle. Be grateful, for we killed everyone on our last conquest!" Another said with a laugh, as if this was some joke to him.

"Boy or girl, whatever you are, do yourself a favor and lay down. It'll be easier for you..." The shortest thief taunted again with his same nasty leer.

Eclipse could not remain silent anymore. He growled low in his throat, but loud enough for all to hear his displeasure.

"You will NOT touch Lord Raenef or steal anything that belongs to him! For to do so can only result in the most severe form of punishments!" Eclipse threatened loudly with his trademark glare, his dark eyes glazed with anger and disgust.

"Eclipse!" Raenef cried with both relief and happiness. Eclipse nodded his head.

The demon thieves turned their heads to their new "challenger". They hooted and laughed. They said such vulgar things, things that could and would start a fire:

"This just gets better and better!"

"Ah, another pretty one! Look how he exposes his chest!"

"He's all wet, too..."

"Oooh, he sure looks pissed!"

"Course he is, we didn't fuck him yet!"

"Look at his hair! It's prettier than a woman's! Such pretty, long black hair..."

"Yes, such nice and long hair to grip and pull when his body becomes too wet."

"What a blessing...two pretty fuck toys."

"Come over here, pretty raven..."

"ENOUGH!" Eclipse was beyond pissed and disgusted. All his veins were popping out (manga style), making him seem to have them all over. He seethed with rage, rage that had not been provoked in him since long ago. His fists shook, his pale jaw clenched, and his eyes were so narrowed that they seemed to be thin slits. Even sparks seemed to fly off him.

"You will NEVER lay your filthy selves on my lord or his castle! And since you did touch my lord, you will pay for it..." Eclipse hissed.

"Ah, I see, you must be this little pathetic boy lord's slave..." Laughed one of the thieves.

Eclipse simply glared at them, trying to think of what evil, wicked things he could do to them to make them suffer for their insults and for their vile intentions.

"Lets teach this handsome slave a lesson..." The leader of the pack croaked as he licked his lips. He was obviously displeased by the look of hatred and anger on Eclipse's pale, constricting face.

The rain pounded so hard that Eclipse's silken robes clung heavily to his slender, restricting fast or accurate movement. Not to mention his bangs sticking to his fair face, which didn't help his vision much, especially since the rain was already blinding as it were, making him squint.

Before Eclipse could move a muscle, he felt something slam into him hard; it felt like a heavy armored-clad body. The wind was nearly knocked out of his lungs as he staggered backwards awkwardly. He tried to regain his balance, but rough hands grabbed him. He faintly heard Raenef call out his name in alarm.

Several pair of rough hands grabbed and grasped him, trying to hold him still as he tried to resist them. He struggled madly, his thoughts incoherent, but his instincts were to protect his lord.

He kicked one of them in the face and earned a cruel backhand to his beautiful face. He growled as those vile hands tried to tear his clothes, but they couldn't because the clothes were soaked. The demon thieves cursed at this, but they were not out of ideas yet.

Eclipse blinked repeatedly, trying to see through the hazy rain. He felt a cool blade rip at his clothes carelessly, his smooth skin rewarded with shallow cuts. He tried to move, but several strong hands held him firmly from behind.

He growled ferociously as he struggled wildly to get free as every single garment from his body was disposed of. If he had had body hair, every single hair would have been prickling and standing up.

Eclipse could feel all those hungry eyes on him, even though he had his head hung and eyes downcast. He felt so humiliated and ashamed, especially since his master was there, too.

...I have failed you, Lord Raenef, I am...so sorry... He thought bitterly.

Suddenly, a voice jolted his attention. He looked up and blinked several times, trying to see in this accursed rain. It was the voice of his young master.

"Eclipse! Leave him alone! Why have you disrobed him?! He belongs to me, not you! How dare you!" Raenef shouted; his voice shook with anger.

"Don't worry, little pretty, we'll be getting to you soon...real soon..." Sneered a particularly tall thief. He roughly toughed all over Eclipse's cold and naked body.

Eclipse looked away.

"Look at me, slut!"

Eclipse ignored him, frantically trying to think of how to spare his lord of this fate. He did not even care about what happened to himself. He only cared for his young lord.

"I said, LOOK AT ME!" The tall rogue fiercely backhanded him hard, leaving an ugly imprint and a dribble of blood.

Eclipse still did not look at him.

"Awww, you damaged his pretty face..."

The tall thief, furious at Eclipse's bold defiance, threw the servant to the ground after several nasty slaps and punches.

Eclipse slowly rose up. "Are you finished?" He asked calmly and quietly.

This infuriated the tall thief even more. He raised his sword at Eclipse.

"What are you doing, Talar?!" Asked a fellow thief.

"He's too stubborn to be a slave. We need willing, obedient slaves to serve our clients. We don't have time to break him. The boy will do. The servant will have to be killed...unfortunately..." Explained the tall thief 'Talar'.

The thieves pouted, but nodded, knowing their leader was right.

The sword rose and started to slice down through the air down to strike Eclipse the deadly blow. Said Eclipse looked downcast, eyes closed. He had failed miserably.

"NO!" Cried Raenef, his power radiated from his body. A surge of deadly power swelled, and with determined and resentful eyes, Raenef aimed at Talar.

"DEATH DRILL!"

More Notes: Haha! This one is longer! Oh and to clarify, THIS is a memory both Raenef and Eclipse despise most. This is why Raenef hates thunder and lightning. Oh, I wanted to work and finish chapter three today, but it seems I don't have time. I have school tomorrow, unfortunately. Hopefully I can have chapter three out by tomorrow. It should be really good, too, not as nasty as this one was. Well, please R&R. ^^
