A Moonlight Dance with A Demon

Chapter Twenty: The Awakening

Kyoji had dreams while he was consumed in darkness. First he saw his wife in her demon form. Then his son in a demon form, then his daughter. Then he saw himself, only he was normal. For some reason he felt left out. Then he saw the ceremony that was performed the night before. He saw himself taking the soul of his spirit guide into his body.

Then what he saw amazed him. He looked demon, but he saw himself seizing as the soul spread though is body. Then he saw himself black out and saw other demons pick him up and carry him back to his wife's lodge. That's where he lost himself again.

The next thing he saw was a mountain and lots of snow. He looked down and saw himself dressed in what he knew to be traditional garb from the Native American era.

On top of the mountain, he saw a bright light. He reached for it in his dream but couldn't touch it. He started to climb. He kept climbing until he reached the top.

What he saw took his breath away, he saw a wolf. But it wasn't just any wolf, it was a fire wolf. Fire flowed from its body as if it were only fur.

The fire wolf had eyes that had fire blazing in them. He was mesmerized by the look it gave him. Then the wolf turned around and looked back at him as if it wanted him to follow it. Kyoji walked up to it and his leg touched its fire fur. But it wasn't hot. It was just like any fur.

When he looked down the ridge, he saw his family waiting for him. He heard a voice "You shall become wounded, but you shall still protect your wife." He heard it as if it were an inner voice. That's when he started running down the ridge with the wolf by his side. Just as he thought he'd make it, a huge light engulfed him and his eyes started to open.

"Welcome back." He heard a female voice say. "You've been asleep a long time."

"What day is this?" Kyoji asked as he opened his eyes more.

"Well, I'm not sure. We've been down here so long I forgot to keep track. But you've been out for three days now." The voice said again.

He finally opened his eyes the rest of the way and saw his wife hovering over him. He smiled at her and asked "That long huh?"

"Yes, and you would still be asleep if it wasn't for your guide." She replied as she got up and went to get something for him to drink.

"My guide?" He asked as he sat up. His chest burned fiercely but he withstood it.

"Yes, your wolf guide. You did see a wolf in your dreams did you not?" she asked.

He just nodded and took the water that she offered him. "He led me to you." He replied after taking a drink.

She smiled and said, "Yes, the same thing happened to me." She then kissed him and asked, "Would you like to see yourself?"

He nodded and she grabbed a piece of metal and handed it to him. He saw himself for the first time and he almost fainted. He had long fangs, his eyebrows were arched more, and his facial bone structure over all had changed greatly.

He looked down at his hands and saw large claws. "How do I change back?" He looked up at her and she kissed him.

"Just by remembering how you looked before you changed into a demon." She kissed him again and he closed his eyes.

He remembered what he looked like and he felt his bones crack and move. He looked at himself again and saw he was back to normal; she smiled at him and said "I most prefer this form from the other."

He said "I won't go into the other form all that often, only if you want me to."

She smiled and said "The kids are home safely and with Schwarz"

He nodded and asked "When will we be going home?"

"Soon, my men caught the ones who were killing our kin and they are being punished right now. The elders told me if something happens again, they will send word for us." She replied as she put her arms around him. "Now that you are half demon, you shall be able to make the trip home with me no problem."

He smiled and nodded. "I would, however, like to take this outfit home with me. I love it."

She laughed and nodded "Yes, you can. It's yours now anyway." They both laughed together as they ate some breakfast and started packing a few things to make the journey home.

(later that day)

"We hope to see both you and your husband for a visit soon." Koga's grandfather said, as they got ready to leave.

"Yes, we will think about doing just that soon." Cloy said as they both turned demon.

"We shall look forward to it." Another said.

They smiled and waived then jumped in the water in the cave and Cloy called for the water dragon. She had explained to Kyoji that Water Dragons and Fire Wolves use to be enemies, but they were now very very good friends. They both grabbed a hold of the dragon and he quickly got them back to the other world.

When they came up for a breath, they looked up and saw Schwarz waiting for them. "Hey buddy." Kyoji said as he got up out of the pool of water and stood in front of Schwarz.

"Hey, you know that girl that Cloy hooked me up with… she's really nice." Schwarz said as he looked down at her.

She gave a thousand watt smile and said "Told you that you would like her didn't I?"

He just nodded and said "We're going to see a movie tomorrow night, I hope she likes me."

Cloy laughed and shook her head. The kids came running up calling for them and hugged them both. "Oh I missed you kids." Cloy said as she hugged Clarissa.

"We missed you two too." Kiy said as he hugged his father. He looked up at Kyoji and said "Daddy, you seem different, sort of."

Kyoji looked over at his wife and asked, "Should we tell them?"

Cloy smiled and nodded "Kids, there is something different about your father." She looked over at him and said, "Go a head and chance."

Kyoji nodded, closed his eyes and changed into his new demon form. Clarissa squeaked and asked "You're a demon now? Like mommy?"

Kyoji nodded and said, "Yes, we had a ceremony and I was turned into a demon, as well as the Alfa-Male of mommy's tribe."

Kiy smiled and said, "That's what I want to be when I grow up, be Alfa-Male there." Kiy went off playing with Clarissa and Cloy smiled.

"Hopefully their demons won't come out until they are much older." She sighed as she walked back with Kyoji and Schwarz.

"Oh don't worry; I'll be here to help you tame them." Kyoji said.

"As well as I." They heard Schwarz say.

"Ohhhhh no! I have bigger plans for you Herr Bruder." Cloy said with an evil smile with her fangs showing.

Schwarz looked at her and was almost scared.
