~A Moonlight Dance with A Demon~
~Chapter Nine: Time Flies When You're Having Fun~
Schwarz listened as Kyoji and Cloy cuddled, he smiled deeply and looked over to the crib that Kyoji had set back in his room so he could watch Kiy for a little while. He sat reading his book that he was working on.
Schwarz couldn't help but notice how the book reminded him of his long journey here. He could see it in his minds eye like it was yesterday. He could barely remember much right after the blast that Domon had fired. But he could remember waking up at night.
*** (Flash Back)
"OW!" Schwarz said as he moved. He didn't know how or why he was alive. But he knew he was alive and bleeding badly.
He walked over to the scrap heap that use to be Spiegel Gundam. He saw in a piece that was still shiny his reflection.
He touched his face, he was young again. "But how?" he asked himself. He determined he would find out later. First he needed to find a hospital or something. He stumbled to the shore and saw something he never though he would see, a boat.
He didn't know who it belonged to, be he needed it more then who ever had it. He jumped in and hoped the keys were still in it.
He looked and saw them still in the ignition. He turned the key and it roared to life. He drove to the shore of Hong Kong and stumbled into the ER. He didn't care if he didn't have a mask on, he needed Medical Attention. They took him immediately and worked on him. It wasn't long until he was healed up and had disappeared one night in darkness. Then, somehow, found himself where he was now.
***
The memory of surviving the horrific event took his mind off of Kiy and he didn't hear him when he started crying. Schwarz shot up out of bed and pulled Kiy out of the crib. He didn't think he was hungry because as Schwarz carried him around a little Kiy calmed down.
Schwarz started to hum an old German tune that his mother sung to him and that calmed him down even more. Schwarz smiled, maybe he was better at this then he thought.
After Schwarz had calmed Kiy down he sat him on the bed and sat down himself and asked "Hungry little fella?"
Kiy just cooed and giggled a little and he didn't know if he should interrupt Kyoji and Cloy.
He walked to the door and heard no sound, he knocked and Cloy answered, with all her cloths on to Schwarz's surprise. "What is it?' she asked.
"Oh, I think Kiy may be a little hungry." Schwarz replied.
"Oh, ok," Cloy smiled as she went to get Kiy. She walked in and asked "where's Kiy?"
"Oh, I thought he was on the bed." Schwarz said. They tore his room a part looking for Kiy but didn't find him.
"Oh no, no, where is he?" Cloy gasped, so worried about her son.
"I'll go get Kyoji." Schwarz said as he got up and went to get Kyoji from their room. Cloy looked all over the house. She collapsed on the couch and almost started to tear up until she saw his rattle. She ran and got it and looked over and saw him hiding in a corner. She sighed deeply in relief and the picked him up and held him close.
She noticed a severed metal tactical on the floor where Kiy had been. She picked it up and went to see Kyoji about it.
"But how did it get there?" Kyoji asked as Cloy fed Kiy.
"It was him." They heard Schwarz say. He was standing by the window, allowing the wind to blow though his hair which had gotten just a little longer.
"Him?' Cloy asked.
"Come now Cloy. You've had a dream about him haven't you?" He asked over his shoulder.
"What? Who are you talking about?" She asked.
He looked her in the eyes and it came to her. "Oh no not him!" She gasped.
Schwarz nodded and Kyoji looked at both of them and said "Hey, doesn't anyone want to fill me in on any of this?"
"A demon from Koga's past. A demon that Koga had supposedly killed." Schwarz explained.
"Oh, you mean the Demon that is in Cloy? Koga?" Kyoji asked
"Yeah, that's right, he killed a demon named Epoch and he can never come back." Cloy shuttered as she fed Kiy.
"Wrong, he can." Schwarz interjected.
"How?" Cloy asked incredibly.
"The Dark Gundam's Shell." Was what he said, "He took the basic unit of the dark gundam – DG Cells – and used it to create a body for himself."
Kyoji saw her visibly shutter as Schwarz continued "This explains the metal tentacles and everything."
"But what does he want with Kiy?" Cloy asked.
"What else." Schwarz replied, "He wants to use Kiy to be reborn. So he doesn't have to use that metal shell any longer. And if that happens, he will be reborn with incredible power."
"I can tell you now." Cloy said determined, "He won't lay a finger on my Kiy, if he does, he will regret it."
For the first time, Kyoji was scared of the look in Cloy's eye.

"How is the repair coming?" Epoch asked as he watched the tactical that had been severed by Kiy get repaired. "That little brat will pay for this."
"That little brat really did a number on you." His servant replied. "It shouldn't take long though."
Epoch smiled "Koga will feel my wrath one way or another. Weather it will be from the child that his blood flows though or killing the woman he resides in. He will pay!" He shouted. "And I will be stronger the ever."
"Sir, we are afraid this tentacle won't move much for a while. But it should start to move soon." The servant said as he finished.
"Good, at lest it's repaired. I will be reborn. Or at least exact my revenge against Koga."
"But what about the baby and woman?" The servant asked.
"Oh, I have nothing against them; they will live if they don't get in the way. I just want Koga." He replied "and I don't care if I die again trying."
***
Meanwhile, Cloy and Koga were having a discussion of their own. "But how do you know he's after us?" Cloy asked.
"I just know." Koga replied. He was the only thing she could see before her for the moment. And the image was just in her mind. She had to admit he was devastatingly handsome, just like the three other men she lived around right now: Kyoji, Schwarz, and Domon.
"There's something you're not telling me Koga." She said as she looked at him.
"I know, and I don't want you to know about it." He replied.
"I need to know. If this demon Epoch is after us, then the lest you can do is tell me why he's after us." She countered standing up.
"Very well." Koga replied as he turned around to face the window. "It is a very old and almost forgotten story." He begun "But I can still remember it like it was yesterday."
Cloy sat back on the bed and listened intently. "It all began when I became ruler of Egypt 3000 years ago. I was of the age 500 and I didn't look a day over 200. The desert was our life. And we ruled it with an iron fist. But one day another demon came to claim the title of Pharaoh." At this time, Koga sat back on bed next to Cloy and continued. "He was determined. And the people of Egypt knew not of our demonality. They just thought we were normal people set on leading them."
"But what of this other demon, what became of him?" Cloy asked, watching his facial expression.
His expression chained to one of great hatred. "He tried killing me." He replied. "And doing away with me for good so that he could take over. He was bent on setting this world according to demons. And making man kind our slaves. I wouldn't have any of it. So when he tried doing away with me, I sent guards after him. Of course the guards were killed. But it told me exactly what I was dealing with, another words sacrificing pawns to aid in the kill."
Cloy nodded and listened. "He came after me in the night again. And I was ready for him. I sent him to the great beyond, as we called it. Another words, I made sure he wouldn't bother me again. He was entombed, and the ceremony I gave him was more then he was worth." Koga continued, with his eyes closed.
"But he's alive now, what happened?" Cloy asked
"I'm not sure, the last time I saw the tomb was right before a slayer tried killing me and only succeeded in killing my body. And he was still entombed. So I guess he was able to get out and found a way to come back." Koga explained. "Beyond that, I haven't much of a clue.
"I see. But… but why have you never told me?" She asked.
"Because I
thought the matter to be trivial, no sense in wasting breath for nothing." He said getting back up. "So, there it is in
a nutshell. That's the reason he's after
me. He is sore from what I did to him
just so I could live and keep my people safe.
I have to admit, very air headed and over bearing reason. But he does have the right to be sore at me."
"Such a stupid mater if you
ask me." Cloy agreed. "But this is the threat we have to deal with
and I am as much a part of it as you are."
"Yes, agreed. But I am going to keep you safe as much as possible. If it comes to it, I will detach from you and sacrifice myself." Koga explained.
"What how?" Cloy asked, "I thought that when ever a demon fuses with a human it's a packaged deal. It's permanent."
"Well, no. Not really. If the demon is honorable enough to detach from the human if the human is in danger because of him. Then it is allowed and the demon is sent up to where all demons hope to go some day. More or less like a get out of jail free card."
"I just want to know on thing." Cloy said out of the blue.
"What is that?"
"Would you do it….?"
