The Demon Prince

By Heero-Yuui

A/N:

I lied. I said I was going to be done by FMA last Saturday, but I was doing things like hand writing it, messing with my Sims' lives, etc… Anyways, here's the second chapter in the Demon Prince! Enjoy!

Chapter Two: Of Music and Murder

The next day, Heero woke up little early to start the scenes for his new music video. He woke up, showered, dressed and walked downstairs to eat a healthy, nutritious breakfast of champions. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that there was someone new in the house the night before…

"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Yui-sama!" a girl called to Heero from in the kitchen. Heero gaped as he looked upon the girl. She had red hair in high pigtails with red bows at both ends of the braided tails that came down to the middle of her back. Her outfit, to Heero, looked like a maid's outfit. It was a black dress trimmed in red lace around the bottom. The sleeves were long and black with a similar lace that looked more than long enough on her (it came to her fingertips). The dress came mid-thigh and lace came to her knees. She was wearing black boots with red and black-stripped socks. But the thing that caught Heero's mind most of all were her ears. Her ears were sharply pointed and had silver ear cuffs that had words in Japanese flashing on them. Along with the cuffs, on her right ear, she had two little hoops at the base of her ear and two studs at the top. On her left, she only had a single hoop.

"Who are you?"

"Watashi wa Yuki. Model number 37852-01. Haijimemashite!" She answered gaily. Someone's had a little too much sugar today… Heero thought.

"Are you a…Robot?"

"I don't like that word. Call me a android, or something cool like that, but hai, Yui-sama, I'm a robot." She answered.

"Odd…"

"I made your breakfast for you! You needn't worry about that!" she pointed her finger at the table revealing a breakfast that would be able to feed a whole army. It consisted of eggs, ham, sausages, bacon, toast, assorted cereals, milk, orange juice, pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Heero was in awe.

"How long did it take to make all of that?" he asked, amazed.

"Oh, not very long. At least an hour, I guess." She answered proudly. She walked him over to the table and pulled his chair out for him. As he sat, she sat next to him and pulled out her plate.

"You can eat?" he inquired.

"Of course! I would feel awkward if I couldn't eat. You know, making all this food and not being able to eat a bite. That would be like torture!" she said, serving her at least one or two of each food. Heero joined her and grabbed some food. Yep, too much sugar. He thought.

"You have some music video shoot today, huh, Yui-sama?" Yuki asked as she took a bite out of her toast.

"Hai."

"Wakarimashta." She replied as she sadly continued to eat.

"What's the matter, Yuki-san?"

"Well, you're going to think I'm stupid…"

"No I won't. I promise."

"With everyone gone today, I'm going to feel pretty lonely. And I don't know what to do…" she replied.

"Well, I can change that, you know." He answered, taking a drink of his orange juice.

"Eh?"

"I can scan your blueprints and create an android much similar to yourself. Is that acceptable?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That would be perfect, Yui-sama!" she said, hugging him tightly.

"I shall start as soon as I return home then."

"Arigato Gozaimasu, Yui-sama!" Once she let go, Heero stood up and grabbed his jacket. As he turned to say goodbye, a box wrapped in a green piece of cloth with little feathers on it. Heero gave her a quizzical look. "Lunch." She said as she waved it in his face. He took it, thanked her and left waving at her. She waved back as he closed the door.

"Be safe and be happy."

Heero arrived at the shoot a few minutes early. His 'primpers' as Heero called them, got him into his outfit (he really didn't have to change) and got him ready. At least two hours later, he was ready to begin the shoot.

"Alrighty then, Minna-san," the director, Ashkar called, "we'll be starting at the beginning of the song so we can do a complete run through to see what you guys want it to look like, okay?" Everyone nodded. "Good." Just with that, Heero knew today was going to be murder. But he didn't know how right he would be…

Three hours, seventeen minutes later…

"No, no, no! Jordan! You take three steps left and then two steps forward! Do you understand, now?" Ashkar yelled for the up-teenth time. Heero felt like his brain would die before the recording was over.

"That's it! I'm calling for a break! Ten minutes only!" Ashkar yelled. His normally pale cheeks were flushed red as he yanked Jordan into the bathroom. Unfortunately, Heero had to go to the bathroom. (Ya know, when you gotta go, you gotta go). So he walked to the door and opened it slightly.

H smelt blood before he could see or hear his band mate's cry for help. Heero watched involuntarily, unable to walk away from the horrible sight in front of him. Ashkar had a bloody knife clenched in his right fist; Jordan was on the floor, bleeding from wounds invisible to Heero. Ashkar lifted the knife and brought it down the knife on the terrified boy. He let out a short cry of pain as blood splattered from a slice wound newly formed on his throat. Heero blinked as the blood splattered on his face. When he looked back, Jordan was lying on the linoleum floor, dead. But that was only the beginning.

Ashkar was staring straight at him with cold, heartless eyes, the eyes of a murderer. Heero slowly backed away then ran down the hallway he had come from. He absent-mindedly looked back at the half open door to see a bloodstained hand take hold of the door and half of Ashkar's face emerge from the blood soaked room. Heero was mortified as he turned back around, realizing that he had stopped running and began sprinting down the hall, afraid to look back at the door that held his friend's murdered body and his murderer in it. He ran all the way home and burst through the door.

Yuki turned from her cleaning, delighted that someone was home, "Konnichi wa, Yui-sam…" she began as Heero hurriedly ran up the stairs, slamming his room's door behind him. "…ma…"

Once in the safety of his room, Heero sat down on the edge of his bed and put his head in his hands as the morning's scenario danced repeatedly through his head. He layed down, fearful of sleep until sleep stole him away…

He awoke later that night around two in the morning. He sat up and looked mortified where the lone, bloodstained figure stood menacingly in front of him.

Heero knew he was dead.

Outside, he could hear the sounds of an oncoming storm. He felt like running, but his legs turned to rubber. A flash of lightning showed the murderer's face: bloodstained and insane. Heero stared as the specter walked to him. Ashkar laughed inwardly as the former soldier couldn't move. For a soldier, he was sure acting cowardly. He took a step closer and closer, and with each step, he could see the brunette shiver with fright. Heero was wishing that the crazed lunatic were only a dream, more of a nightmare that he would wake up to. Wake up, Yui, wake up… he thought. I don't want to die…

Another flash of lightning sounded and the figure was gone…
