A Demon's Love: Chapter Two
A couple of maids took Daisuke to a huge bathroom. They had been careful not to touch him and talked about him like he wasn't there.
He could hear them whisper to one another and occasionally giggle. Sometimes they would look back at Daisuke, giggle, and continue whispering to one another.
When they did speak to him, they spoke the way they would to a child. Daisuke knew they thought they were better than him. They were demons, he was human.
They explained how to use the bathtub properly like Daisuke had never taken a bath in his life. They probably thought he hadn't. They made him angry.
After they were threw showing him how to use everything properly, they left to do the rest of their chores.
For this, Daisuke was grateful. He didn't think he could spend another minute with those annoying women.
Daisuke filled the tub with water and began to scrub all the dirt off. He washed his hair and face. He was very dirty. He hadn't bathed since he had been captured.
When he was finished, he began to think about all that had happened to him. It hurt a lot thinking about it.
He used to live with his father up until he was ten years old, but his father was dead now.
His mother had died giving birth to him so it had always been him and his dad.
They had lived in the ruins, it had been a hard life, but they had each other. That was all that mattered.
They didn't live near other people so it had always been just the two of them. The only time Daisuke came in contact with others was when his father took him into town to buy supplies.
But, his father never let him talk to strangers. He told Daisuke that he should never trust anyone easily and to never tell them his last name.
Daisuke found this odd. Sure Niwa wasn't a common last name, but so what. Under no circumstances was Daisuke to ever tell anyone his last name. His father had made him promise him.
His father told him to tell anyone that asked he didn't have a last name. Most humans didn't. Some were allowed to take the last names of their masters, but most just had a first name.
Daisuke sometimes thought that maybe his father had done something wrong and was running from the authorities, but Kosuke didn't seem like the kind of person that would do something wrong.
His father, Kosuke Niwa, was a kind and gentle person. He never fought unless it was absolutely necessary and never killed. When Daisuke asked him why, he told Daisuke he had promised Emiko.
Emiko Niwa was Daisuke's mother. He hadn't gotten the chance to meet her, but when his father talked about her, Daisuke felt as though she had never left.
About a couple of months before his father died, some new demons came to the town Daisuke and his father shopped in. They tried to control everyone, no one liked it.
The new demons were a gang called Akai. They were just a bunch of punks, but they were a strong bunch of punks.
They bullied people and tried to make everyone obey them. The town was one of the few places where humans and demons could live together side by side.
The people that lived there were kind and compassionate. They couldn't defend themselves from Akai.
Unlike most demons, the demons that lived in the town couldn't use magic or grow wings.
They were outcast in the demon world, but still above humans. They, unlike humans, had some rights.
When they had had enough, they tried to run Akai out of town. Unfortunately, they were too strong for the villagers.
Daisuke's father had decided to step in. He was amazing. Daisuke had never seen anyone look so graceful when fighting. He looked like he was dancing.
The King's guards had been visiting the town that day. In order to keep their town from being destroyed, the whole village sent offerings to the King once a month.
Japan's King was very greedy and, for money, would turn a blind eye to certain things. He was corrupt and evil, but there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Japan had the toughest, strongest soldier sin all the land.
The soldiers attacked Daisuke's father. Daisuke couldn't understand why, though. Kosuke had done nothing wrong and was defending the town. His father told Daisuke to run and hide.
He did as he was told. He watched as Japan's greatest soldiers tore his father to shreds. It was the most horrifying thing Daisuke had ever experienced.
Daisuke knew he couldn't stay where he was now. The guards would probably come after him next.
The whole town had been questioned about Kosuke. Daisuke had lied to the soldiers, of course. They never realized he was the son of the man they had just killed.
He looked nothing like his father. He took after his mother. Daisuke had flaming red hair, big red eyes, and a feminine appearance.
Daisuke had no one now. He was all alone. He went back to the ruins and lived there for the next four years; he was fourteen now. His father had thought him to survive.
Daisuke knew how to hunt, make his own food, sew his own clothing, clean, and how to fight.
His father had been training him since he was two years old and even when he did, he continued on with training.
He trained harder than he did before and was close to mastering his father's fighting style.
It was important to know how to defend yourself if you lived in the ruins; there are many nasty demons in the ruins that would love to feast off the flesh of a fourteen year old boy.
The day he had been captured he had been very ill. He had caught a very bad cold from standing in the rain too long.
Everything had been spinning and he had a terrible fever. He didn't have any medicine so it got worse. He was half dead.
When the slave traders had come to the ruins, he couldn't defend himself. They had been looking for a slave that had run away.
They wouldn't have bothered if the slave hadn't been promised to a wealthy lord. When they found Daisuke, they took him with them.
Daisuke was placed in a cage. He tried to escape many times but had always been captured before he could leave the building.
He was then placed in a magical cage. Daisuke didn't know magic so that made escape impossible.
He was given medicine and he got over his illness. No on had bought him because he made himself look deranged and sickly.
They had moved on rather quickly when they passed his cage. He was kept away from the other slaves, probably because they all thought he really was sick.
Even if he did escape, where would he go? It was no longer safe in the ruins and anywhere he went he would probably be captured and made into a slave.
It's not like he could get a job or home. Those things weren't offered to humans. He was alone, homeless, and in a cage.
After about a week of being imprisoned, a violet haired man had come. He looked rich and arrogant.
He seemed like the type of person that was use to getting what they wanted when they wanted.
In short, the man was a snob. But, even so, he was very handsome. The man walked around and looked at the people in the cages with interest.
When he looked at Daisuke, he felt as though he couldn't breath. He couldn't tear himself way from those deep, violet eyes.
He just sat there, still and frozen. He kept telling his body to move but his body wasn't cooperating with his brain.
When the man said "I'll take him," Daisuke grew fearful. Someone was buying him! The man suddenly began to smirk.
Daisuke didn't like the way the man was smirking and he definitely didn't like the idea of someone owning him.
He was placed in a wagon while the violet haired man stepped into a beautiful carriage. The wagon followed the carriage to the most beautiful palace Daisuke had ever seen.
The man had left and Daisuke was taken away by some maids. This is how he had ended up bathing in a fancy bathtub and being owned by a rich snob.
The maids had told him the man was named Dark but he should refer to him as either Dark-sama or Master.
Dark didn't seem too bad, even if he was a snob and it was better than dying on the streets.
Yes, Daisuke would stay here. How bad could it be? Daisuke got out of the bathtub and put on a robe. He left the bathroom.
