A Moonlight Dance with A Demon

Chapter Fifteen: The Ring

It had been days, and they had seen no sign of Epoch which meant the sealing had worked. Cloy walked around the house with Kiy in her arms humming gently to him. She saw he wasn't fussing anymore where Kyoji tried feeding him this morning.

"You know honey, maybe you should stick to the feeding." Kyoji said coming around and started kissing her neck.

"No, if we're bound to have another child you're going to learn how to feed them as well." Cloy said determined. He wasn't going to get off that easily.

"Well, alright. As long as he… or she doesn't throw up again." Kyoji sighed as he let his hands fall down to her waist.

"Fair enough." Cloy smiled, she saw her son getting tired so they both put him to bed and tucked him in.

"I'm off on the town guys." They heard a voice behind them.

"Ok Schwarz. Call if you're going to stay out later so we don't worry." Cloy said as she watched him turn and leave. Kyoji looked at her and she added "Ok, so I won't worry." Kyoji nodded and walked over to the bed, and stripped his shirt as he fell onto it.

"Boy, such grace." Cloy said sarcastically while clapping. "Yeah, just like a cat." When Cloy looked down at him he had that look in his eye. He patted the bed beside him and cloys shook her head saying "no thanks, I think I'll take a rain check." She went to leave but felt strong arms circle her waist.

"Oh no you don't" Kyoji growled in her ear and collapsed onto the bed with her.

She gave a sudden squeak of delight as she fell on top of him. He smiled and held her anchored to the bed as she squirmed. "Kyoji Kasshu, let me go." She squeaked.

He laughed with her and whispered "never."

"I have something to tell you Cloy." Cloy heard in her head. She knew it was Koga. She made it so that when ever Koga spoke, Kyoji heard.

"What is it Koga?" she asked. Kyoji had stopped what he was doing to listen as well, keeping his arms around her waist securely.

"It's about my son." Koga replied.

"What about your son Koga? We're listening." Cloy said as she sat to listen to Koga.

He projected an image in front of them so both could see him as he talked and said "My son was a new born when Epoch came along. His mother had died giving birth to him so I treasured him with such affection. I guess you could say he was already spoiled." Koga paused. "I loved him like nothing else. Like you love Kiy. He was to one day take my place and become Pharaoh just like me."

Kyoji thought about this and almost immediately knew the analogy Koga was getting at. But he said nothing yet.

"When I look at Kiy, it's like I could see my own son in him. But when Epoch took my son, I was furious. I tried using the ring, which you are in possession of now, to find my son but when I got there it was too late. Epoch had already drained my son of his spirit." he closed his eyes and continued. "When Epoch was destroyed all the spirits he had drained were set free. My… my son didn't go up to the heavens though. He stayed right here, with us."

"You mean your son is...?" Cloy asked.

"Yes, my son was reincarnated into your son." Koga said finally, with all the heart he could muster.

(Five Years Later)

"Dad! Where are you?!" A young boy, not yet 6, yelled as he looked around. "Uncle Schwarz?" He pondered as he looked around.

"Kiyoto!" He heard, he looked around but saw nothing. "You must learn to use all your senses besides just your eyes!" He was then hit in the back by a thunderous blow. He fell to the ground only to get back up again.

"Easy Schwarz, he is only a boy." Kiy heard a whisper.

"I know, but he must learn one way or another." He heard another whisper.

"Fellas, I made cook…." Cloy was stopped in mid-sentence as she watched Schwarz about to come down on Kiy harder then he should. Cloy quickly dropped the plate of cookies and stepped in front of Schwarz and Kiy and kicked aside his kick sending Schwarz flying in one direction while dirt flew in another.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" Kiy heard Schwarz yell as he flew over and landed in a pile of grass clippings from where Kyoji had mowed the lawn.

He looked up to see his mother standing there in demon form. "WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT GOING EASY ON HIM KYOJI KASHU! HE IS JUST A BOY!" Cloy yelled, still in her demon form as Kiy clung to her side.

"I… But… He…" Kyoji stammered as Cloy calmed down and let her normal form take back over.

"I told you he was only five; he has plenty of time to learn how to fight." Cloy said a little more calmly.

"Cloy; your son must learn how to defend himself." Schwarz said with a determined look. "He won't learn that without training and learning from mistakes and losses."

Cloy looked at him with a different kind of determination in her eyes. Schwarz's statement earned him another trip back into the clippings pile. Kiy giggled at that and ask "Is uncle Schwarz going to be ok?"

"Of course Kiy, he has a head as hard as marble. That's why I can't get anything though to him." Cloy replied.

Kiy giggled as his mother picked him up and carried him inside followed by Kyoji who picked up the plate of cookies and an angry grass covered Schwarz. "Don't you dare come in here like that Uncle Schwarz." Schwarz heard this tiny English voice pipe up before he stepped across the threshold of the kitchen door. "You go dust yourself off right now!"

"A mini Cloy Kasshu." Schwarz mumbled "Yes Ma'am Sergeant Clarissa Ma'am." Schwarz said as he did an about face and went to brush off.

Both Kyoji and Cloy laughed as they sat down with Kiy and Clarissa, both their children, and they started getting ready to eat. They were joined by Schwarz. "You shouldn't put your elbows on the table Uncle Schwarz." Clarissa said as she sat in Schwarz's lap.

"Clarissa, how old are you?" Schwarz asked.

"4 Why?" She replied.

"Do you want to live to see the age of 5?" Schwarz asked her.

She gulped and nodded. He just laughed and started to tickle her. She laughed hysterically and started shouting "Uncle! Uncle!" He laughed with her and stopped.

Cloy smiled, but felt really bad for Schwarz. Sure he was a wonderful baby sitter. Sure he was helping Kyoji train Kiy and played with Clarissa as if both were his own children. But he needed more. Cloy looked quite taken with thought as she ate.

"Dear? Is something wrong?" Kyoji asked as he leaned closer to her.

"No… Well, I'll talk to you later about it." She replied

Kyoji nodded and finished his plate and put it in the sink, promptly followed by Schwarz, carrying both his and the kids dishes. Cloy was the last to get up from the table.

Cloy walked up the stairs and heard the kids wrestling with Schwarz in his room, walked past it, and came to her's and Kyoji's bedroom. She walked in and saw Kyoji trimming the slight beard he had been growing. He had told her he decided that he should try it. She came over and said "You know, you look just like your father like that." She smiled when she saw his expression and kissed him.

"I tried to talk him into staying with us, but he insisted in getting a new place of his own. He said that there were just too many memories." Kyoji said as he looked at himself in the mirror and saw just how much like his father he looked. "Your right, maybe I should shave it off."

"No, you try it for a while, if you don't like it then shave it off. Don't shave it because of me dear." She kissed him again and said "I need to talk to you about something."

"What dear?" he asked as he turned around and she leaned into him. Ever since she had Clarissa she hadn't been the same. She'd been a lot more up beat and loving to him. He didn't understand the change, but he loved it.

"Schwarz. He is great with the kids, but he's lonely. He needs someone." Cloy replied as they both started to rock back and forth just a little.

"Who do you have in mind?" Kyoji asked.

"I don't know. But I am going to help him, one way or another." She said determinedly.

Ok, here's Chapter 15. Ok, next chapter there's going to be like two things going on. One with Kyoji and his dad, and the other with Cloy and Schwarz. We'll have to see though. Tell me how you like this. I racked my brain coming up with the finishing plot to this darn story and gosh darn it your going to love it… oops, sorry can't give away much. Ok.

Thanks, as always, to those who read and those who review as well.
