~A Moonlight Dance with A Demon~

~Chapter Ten: The Truth Behind Koga: The Noble One~

            "Yack Nackiyo!"  An Arabic man yelled as he pinned another down to the ground.  The saying meant 'Now, it is your turn' in Egyptian.  His face turned a gray-ish and he became this demon hell-bent on destruction.  While the man he had pinned turned the same color, but there was something different about him.  He had a moon shaped crest on his forehead, and his eyes we keen, more soothing to a soul.  And you could also se compassion and pride in his eyes.

            "Yack Nahibusetna" The demon said, in the same Egyptian accent. "Now, you die." 

And he raised his fist to bash the other mans head in when the man said "Never will you be as proud, as compassionate as I am.  Never will you be Pharaoh, Epoch."

            "And never will you stand in my way Yoko Koga."  Epoch said and smashed his fist down, only for it to contact the hard floor. "Where did he go?!"  Epoch growled as he looked around and held his fist in pain.

            Just as he was about to get up he felt a prick in his neck, he saw Koga behind him standing with a potion that killed all demons.  And then he fell over, dead. "Get his body for a burial Maji.  He will get more then he deserves.  But it is my way of spitting in his eye."

            Men swarmed in around Pharaoh Koga and picked up the lifeless corps and took it away. "I will never have to see his face again…." 

*** (end flash back)

            Koga could see it all again.  He was Pharaoh again, and Epoch was dead.  He had gone by the book, over the book in fact.  When he gave Epoch that honorable burial when he deserved nothing. He had reentered Cloy's body again and wished he could tell her everything would be ok, that everything Epoch was doing he could handle.  But at the moment, he didn't know if he could and Cloy could sense it.

            Just like everything she sensed with him, she could sense this and he didn't know how to tell her that her son, she, and her husband were in danger because he didn't do the job right 3000 years ago.

            "Koga, is something wrong?"  As always, Cloy was right on the ball.

            "No, nothing."  Koga replied.

            "Are you sure?" she asked.  She had that general concern and if he was at all honorable, he would tell her.

            "It's about Epoch.  The reason he's doing this is because I couldn't do my job all those years ago."  Koga replied.

            "Oh Koga, don't bother yourself with such minute details.  It means nothing to me.  What happened a lot time ago is just that, it happened a long time ago and its over. There's nothing you can do about it now."  Cloy had always been the one to come to for comfort Koga realized.  And was grateful for it.

            "Koga?" Cloy asked all of a sudden.

            "Yes? What is it?"  He asked back.

            "You never answered my question."  She replied

            "What was that?" he asked.

            "Would you do it?"  She asked, for the second time day.  When Kyoji had come in and saw her talking to herself he had just walked away figuring either she had finally gone mad, or she was just talking with Koga.

            "I don't know, to be perfectly honest."  He replied finally, after several long moments of strained silence.  "I guess it would depend on the situation."  He added.

            "What if we were cornered and the only way to save me was to give yourself up like that?" she asked, looking out the window for a moment, seeing a bird, and thinking about lunch at the same time.

            "I would do it.  If only for the fact that I would be saving you, so that Kiy wouldn't grow up motherless."  Koga replied, rather grimly if Cloy did say so.

            "Oh Koga.  Please don't say that.  If it does happen we'll find a way out, one way or another.  We always do." Cloy pleaded,

            "If it is the only way, then I will do it."  Koga said.

            Cloy sighed and was about to argue when she heard her son crying from the other room.  She got up and Koga was glad she didn't have the chance to argue.  He knew he would have lost.

            Cloy walked in the room and wondered where both her men were.  She saw Kiy in his little crib, but Kyoji and Schwarz were no where to be found.  She shrugged and went to pick Kiy up.

            Just as she bent over she felt a shiver up her spine, she looked around for a moment, went to the window and looked out but saw nothing, and then shrugged off the feeling.  She picked her son up and held him.  She heard a creaking noise once but it stopped.  She focused on the sound but didn't hear it again. 

            Her mind was taken off of that when she felt a hand on her breast.  She looked down and saw Kiy now crying and kneading at her breast.

            She couldn't help but laugh, "Ok ok, I get the point."  She lowered her shirt just enough so he could get his lips around her nipple and start to suck "I swear your just like your father."   Kiy just cooed and kept eating his dinner.

            Cloy heard the squeak of the door and her ears lay back for a moment until she knew it was Kyoji, with Domon in tow and Schwarz behind him.  Kyoji smiled at what Cloy was doing and came up behind her and began to kiss her neck. "Hey can I have some?"  He asked as he nuzzled her neck.

            "Don't even think about it." she replied, he laughed deeply and it melted her inside she thought it was so sexy. 

After Kiy was finished, she handed him to Kyoji and said "change his dipper"

Domon laughed and Schwarz just shoved him away while Kyoji took care of it.  He had to admit he needed to do it because usually Cloy would.  "I have to start helping more."  He admitted.

            After Kyoji was done with changing Kiy's dipper he put Kiy in the crib to sleep and then went looking for his wife.

            Kyoji made his way to the washroom where Rain did all of Domon's cloths.  He figured she would be doing some of hers and his there.  He got to the door way and saw her sat upon a stole and starting up the wash. "Damn I'm good."  Kyoji commented to himself.

            He took one more step and heard a creak.  The sound came from under his foot so he froze.  He saw her ears lay back which meant she was listening.  He knew not to approach too fast other wise he might lose his head, literally.

He saw her ears relax and he started to approach her because he knew she had successfully identified him.  He learned the hard way to never approach a demon that is identifying you first.  Other wise they may take you as an enemy.

            He came up behind her as she scrubbed out a mud stain in his pants he had 'accidentally' gotten when the two of them sort of had a water fight.  He put his warm hands on either side of her shoulders and started kissing her neck.

            She moved her head gently to give him access and for a moment he nibbled at a sensitive spot at her neck.  He heard her moan and then stopped so she could finish her work.

            Caught up in the lust, she turned around, grabbed him and gave him a soul stopping kiss.  He was going to stop her, but he thought oh what the hell and picked her up.

            "You two go a head. I'll finish this."  Rain said, coming in behind them to do the job.

            Cloy kept her lips locked with Kyoji's and her arm around his neck as she waved at rain and mumbled something that was incoherent. 

            Rain laughed and said "they will never change.  Let us just hope Domon is as much like Kyoji as he denies."  And Rain continued with the laundry with another light chuckle.
