1Disclaimer: I do not own Demon Diary. I would like to believe that I did, but such a delusion would make me go crazier than I already am.
Ch. 4 Wife
Raenef, Chris and Erutis stood in shock.
"Your wife! You were married!" Chris said finally breaking the silence. "Technically we're still
married." Keaira told him."It's interesting the things we find out about the people we trust." Krayon
said. Keaira turned toward him. "Lord Krayon, you didn't come all the way just to see this did you?
Wasn't there something that you wanted to talk to me about?" She asked. "Ah, yes there is. If we
could talk in private." "Of course." She noticed the look on Chris, and Erutis' faces. "We should be
going Master Raenef." Eclipse said, trying to change the subject."Sorry Eclipse. You know that's not
possible. He came here for a reason, they're always sent here for a reason, and it's my job to find out
why and do what I am meant to." She turned back to Raenef and company. "Would you two like to
join Master Raenef for dinner. There is plenty of food." She asked sweetly. "Yeah!" They said, and the
three ran to the table, and began to practically inhale the food. Krayon left the room, and Keaira
began to follow, but stopped briefly at Eclipse. She placed her hand on his cheek, making him
shudder. She brought her face to his ear. "You can stay as long like." She whispered, making the hair
on the nape of his neck stand on end. She gently ran her slender fingers down his cheek and left the
room. Eclipse let out a low growl, and exited out of another doorway. He stood on the balcony, and
brought his hand down hard on the stone railing. I should have known that Master Raenef would have
been brought here! Especially like he was. I've seen it countless times, but... I'd forgotten. He's too
young, he's not ready for this kind of rigorous training. They come here at the end of training... Not
the beginning, for completion, and ascending to the next level... but Master Raenef's training has
scarcely begun. His temper flared, and he transported himself to the roof of the palace. It was late,
and the sky was dark. Eclipse let his cloak wave in the wind. He stared down at the village in the
valley below, and began to ponder. I shouldn't be thinking like this. It's not her fault, besides Master
Raenef is unharmed. I mustn't allow myself to be taken over by my anger. I wonder what Keaira and
Lord Krayon are discussing...
"Lord Krayon, are you finished?" Keaira asked when he stopped talking. "Yes."
"Alright... so that girl, in the dining hall... she is the one you are in love with?" "Yes, she is. Isn't she
perfect?" Krayon said with a dreamy look in his eyes. "The little red head... that is your true love?"
"Indeed. She is a magnificent angel. She's like the bright morning sun. Her voice is like a choir of a
thousand song birds." Erutis' yells broke through into the room, and the sound of glass against a wall
could be heard. Erutis was shrieking at Chris, but Krayon just seemed to talk over her. "...her mild
temper, her glowing emerald eyes that are like precious stones gathered from the finest places in
the world, her beauty radiates like the stars... she knows she loves me, but she likes to play hard
to get, but she really is perfect. Don't you think?" Keaira had zoned out as soon as Erutis started
yelling. "Keaira, I asked if you agreed." Krayon said folding his arms. Keaira snapped back to their
conversation . "Of course Lord Krayon, she's definitely something." Keaira said while in her mind she
thought... Are you insane! She's completely crazy, and she doesn't love you! Your just so infatuated
with her to realize! YOU INCOMPETENT FOOL! "Lord Krayon, if- if you feel that strongly about her..." a
girl who is over 2000 years younger than you... " And if you truly love her... I wouldn't go around
stalking her. Or scaring her with creepy love notions. She's young, and she will come around in her
own time... even if- even if she doesn't feel that way now... in time I'm sure she will, and- and you
never know It could be a day from now, or a week, or maybe even a year. But you have to be patient.
Feelings don't just appear and disappear over night." Keaira said not looking at him, but gazing out
the window. She turned back to him." I'm going to go see what is going on out there, my lord. If you'll
excuse me." She stood up and walked out. Keaira stopped walking but didn't turn around. "You
deserve to be happy my lord. In all the years that I've known you, I have never seen you so... happy.
Which is strange to say, because you've never- never even contemplated love, so take this, and run
with it. I hope for your happiness that she does love you." And she continued to walk down the long
corridor, back toward the dining hall. Krayon stood up, curls bobbing. He pushed a golden lock out of
his face. She's right... I'll just have to convince Erutis she is.
Keaira peeked into the dining hall, and saw the three teenagers laughing and eating, she also
noticed a broken vase, and a few broken dishes. With a small smile she kept on walking, right past
the occupied room, and out through a pair of crystalline doors, onto a sloping terrace.Her pale skin
practically glowing in the light of the full moon. Eclipse crept up stealthily behind her. "Eclipse, how
nice of you to join me." Keaira said without turning around. "I never did figure out how you did that
Keaira." He said stopping in his tracks. "Call it intuition." She said. "Intuition. That's an interesting
choice of words. Sounds like something Meruhesae would say." Keaira scoffed at his words. " Do I
sense some animosity toward her?" Eclipse asked walking up and standing next to her. " Animosity?
Why would you say that?... How is the she-devil anyway?" "I would think you would be kinder to her,
after all she is your sister." "She is a she-devil, first and foremost." A small smile played on Eclipse's
lips as she said these words. She was always trying to steal him from me. Probably still is. Evil
little..."So Eclipse. Demon lord Raenef the fifth? Such a young boy. I wonder why he was sent to me
now." "As do I. You don't know something that your not telling me... Do you?" Eclipse asked
turning his head toward her. "About Master Raenef? No." "Are you sure?" "Eclipse I hope you aren't
accusing me of lying." Keaira said facing him with her hands on her hips. "Of course not Keaira. After
all, you can't lie. Unless... there is something else you aren't telling me?" "No. Now stop with the
questions. I hate questions." She said with a scowl, she then turned and walked back inside. Eclipse
stood on the terrace for a moment more. "Wait... what do you mean about Master Raenef? Is there
something else, about someone that you aren't telling me?" He asked following her into the palace.
"Yes. Shit. My lips are sealed Eclipse." She said as she walked. Eclipse lagged a few feet behind her,
until a ray of moonlight shined off of a small golden object. "I see that you are still wearing the
wedding ring that I gave you." Eclipse said, stopping. Keaira froze. She turned around, and ran her
hand through her long blue hair. "Yes Eclipse, I still wear it. Does that bother you?" She asked in a
provocative voice. He approached her, and stood less than one foot in front of her. "Why would it
bother me?" He asked tilting his head slightly. She inched closer to him, until there was only a few
inches of space between them. "You tell me." She whispered. A small shiver coursed through Eclipse's
body. Raenef, Chris and Erutis came speeding down the hallway, stopping as they approached the two
demons. "Hi Eclipse!... What were you two talking about?" Raenef asked innocently. "Nothing of dyer
importance... hmm. I didn't realize how late it was. I think you all should be getting to bed now. I'll
show you to your rooms, shall we?" She asked leading the way up a staircase to another long hallway.
"Alright. I made it so your bedrooms were close together. Each one has a balcony, a closet, and a
bathroom, so enjoy. Pick anyone along this hallway and the next that you like." She said, and left
them to find which rooms they wanted. She walked back downstairs to Eclipse. "Shall I show you your
room Eclipse?" Keaira asked sweetly. Without another word Eclipse followed her. Unbeknownst to
them Raenef, Erutis and Chris had been watching them over the side of the stairs. "We so need to get
them together." Erutis said. And Raenef and Chris agreed.
Krayon: My love is plotting something sinister?
Kimika: I wouldn't say sinister...more like... ok so I can't think of another word.
Krayon: This should be interesting...
Kimika: Indeed. Thankies for reading... I so hope Eclipse doesn't kill me. Please review!
