Never call me that

Brago looked around as he leapt from building to building. He felt a somewhat… Familiar presence in the area. Sherry was fast asleep though, and he knew better then to wake her. One, she was a lot cuter sleeping, and two, she only sleeps every two to three days to keep up with him. And she was having her… Thingy that made her act weird. Human women got this often… Once a week was it? No it was more then that… A month?

"Stupid ningen…" muttered Brago. "Stupid, pretty blonde blue eyed ningen and their thingies… Just wanted a damn crocodile…"

As you can see, Brago never heard the saying "Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned". Or something like that…

"Hey… There it is…" murmured Brago. He quickly jumped off the building and landed in an alleyway. His eyes widened when he saw the shadowed outline of the person. "G-Gash…?"

Brago, for the first time in his life, felt fear when the clouds covering the moon moved and the figure turned at him. Purple eyes with swirling white lines. Fangs, two lines going from each eye. White hair, white cloak, light blue shoes… And an evil aura…

"Never call me that…" hissed the demon as a teenager walked up to the demon.

"Zakeru!"murmured the teenager, and a glowing ball of lightning formed in the demon's hand.

"Remember this…" spat the demon. "I am not that weakling… You are lucky your bookkeeper is not here… And by the way, my name is Zeon…"

"Who-…" started Brago, but then Zeon thrust the lightning ball into the ground. "What kind of spell is that?"

"You'll see." Replied Zeon curtly as he and the young man walked away.

Before Brago could get up, bursts of lightning came from the ground underneath him, destroying buildings and leaving him in a smoking crater, unconscious.


"He is the famous Brago you told me about?"

"I never had the… Pleasure to fight him back home…"

"Hn…"

"I was disappointed… Let's hope that bastard Gash will give me a better fight… Before I rip out his throat with my bare hands…"


"Brago! Brago!"

Brago slowly opened his eyes.

"What the hell is going on?" murmured Brago. He looked up into the gorgeous blue eyes of his bookkeeper. Well, in his opinion they were gorgeous, as was she, but right not this was besides the point.

"You were completely beaten up in a crater. I found you this morning when I heard of lightning…" explained Sherry. "Brago… What happened?"

"There was… A demon, but not just a demon, he was a monster…" explained Brago slowly as he sat up in the bed that Sherry was supposed to be in. Great, he made her lose some sleep. Damn guilt… Stupid guilt… "He called himself… Zeon. He used the same spell… As Gash did, but different. It took a single attack to put me in whatever condition you found me…"

"Brago…" said Sherry slowly. "There were five buildings also destroyed. I assumed you fought without me… But you're telling me this demon that looks like Gash… Did all of that in one attack?"

"Yes." Said Brago angrily. "I called him Gash, he turned around, told me not to call him that, and does… Whatever he did."

"I see…" Sherry nodded. "Well, let's deal with Zofius and all the other demons first then. We'll have to save him for last…"

"Alright…" murmured Brago as he let out a yawn. "Damn… I'm still tired… So weak…"

"Sleep well…" said Sherry softly as Brago's eyes closed and his breathing became peaceful. She smiled and left the room.
