A Vow Before God

-x-x-x-

Today was the day, the coronation would be held at night, and all the demons would gather before their new King.

Yoru would also be attending...for her. She had requested he go to support him for her, since she couldn't.

"Kagome, please...promise you'll stay inside tonight."

"Where else do I have to be?"

"...just promise me, that no matter what you hear outside...you'll stay inside."

"Yeah, fine."

"..." Yoru wasn't satisfied.

"I promise, now go!" She threw herself back onto the couch, her head landing on the cushion behind her.

"Right,"

-x-x-x-

The gathering was a disturbing one, in Yoru's personal opinion. In fact, despite being a demon, he found it to be truly tasteless. He hadn't even wanted to go...only doing this as a favor to Kagome...he owed her this much after everything she'd done for him. Yoru saw Yusuke frowning nearby against a tree and made his way towards him.

"Yoru? Aren't you supposed to be with Kagome?"

"She asked me to come here and support Shura during his coronation; trust me, I'd rather be anywhere else but here,"

"I'm right there with you, cat."

"Where his mightiness?"

"Ha, his royal pain in the ass is inside with a bunch of fawning whores."

"..." Yoru left Yusuke and made his way inside. True to Yusuke's word, Shura was sitting on his new throne with demonesses on the floor surrounding him, doing their own thing in an attempt to capture the new Kings eyes. A few were on the floor enjoying a senseless orgy, while a couple others fawned over the body of the King. One even sat curled up on his lap, licking tenderly at the flesh of his neck. She wouldn't bite, if she marked him, she would be killed. "Wow...so this is what happens when a Demon is dumped by an Angel."

"..."

None of the females seemed to have heard him, but he had definitely caught the attention of the Demon Shura.

"Leave," he ushered the female demonesses, knocking the one on his lap off without much care as well.

Yoru watched her fall painfully to the floor before scuttling away with the others. "For a Demon King, you're really pathetic." Always one to speak what he thought, he told Shura what he saw before him. "Your practically drowning in self-loathing and pity. You stink of whores, and you have waves of misery leaking off of you. Where is that confident, powerful Demon Prince Shura...who fell for an Angel? What is this...?" He motioned before him. Shura stood up and left to the showers, Yoru followed after. "Cleaning yourself won't get rid of it! Talk to her!"

"...Leave..."

"...I only follow one's orders...forgive me, Demon King Shura...but my master is much stronger than you...if perhaps you see him...kindly send him my way." Yoru turned and left the Demon King behind him, staring coldly after the cat demon as he vanished from sight.

"...he's gone."

-x-x-x-

Kagome knew that she'd promised Yoru that she would stay inside, but a pull drew her outside where she found a few other girls standing curiously in the center of the street. "Botan...Keiko...what's going on?"

"Don't know, we were both in the library when we both felt a sudden pull...uh...you?"

"I was at home, same thing though. I think...it would be wise if we all returned home." Kagome said; something inside telling her she shouldn't be there.

"I think your right," Botan admitted, Keiko nodded.

"Everyone, head back to your rooms!" Keiko ordered, being the school representative had its perks. A few hesitated, but left all the same. However, not everyone made it home...in fact...all those who had been drawn out...

"AH~!"

Kagome watched in horror as demons began appearing one after the other, taking Angel's and clamping binds around the wrists and energy absorbing collars around their necks.

"What...?" Kagome watched as even Botan and Keiko were taken.

"Hey...this one smells like King Shura!" A woman demoness called out from next to Kagome. "HA! An Angelic little Whore...but...she's still innocent...I guess she escaped our King."

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Botan yelled out.

"...if she wanted to run, she would have already."

Kagome frowned, 'Why...am I not running?' She looked to the woman next to her. She was a vivacious beauty with wild red hair and deep blue eyes. She looked to be kind, but her smile held a promise of pain and torture to those who went against her. Kagome wasn't stupid; this woman could and would kill her if she tried anything.

"Hmm?" Kagome looked to her friends and turned back to the woman on her side, nodding her head carefully to show she wouldn't run, the woman lifted off the ground with a playful smile. "Such a good girl," She ran her hand over Kagome's cheek, leaning forward, she placed a tender kiss on her lips before pulling away and turning towards the other demons. "TAKE THEM TO THE CORONATION!"

'...this is why...Yoru told me to stay inside!' Kagome felt the woman's black cloak fall over her head, wrapping around her like a shadow before taking Kagome into her arms.

"KAGOME, YOU TRAITOR!" Botan cried, "YOU FUCKING TRAITOR! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE AN ANGEL!"

'Your right...Botan,' Kagome let her head fall gently on the woman's chest...'I have...no right...to be an Angel.'

"Such an odd creature..." The woman spoke softly as wind whipped her hair wildly about.

"Could you...please do me a favor...?" Kagome asked, looking into the eyes of the woman who held her. "Could you..."

-x-x-x-

Shura now sat outside on another throne, waiting for the Coronation to start as Demon's started to bring in Angel's. He watched for any familiar faces, and wasn't surprised to see two of them. Keiko Yukimura and Botan Aiishi, both were members of Kagome's team, and both were relatively strong Angels; however, the restraints and collars would keep them in their place.

"Ah, Keiko..."

Shura glanced to his left where Yusuke stood, fists clenched and eyes narrowed. "Go to her, you can take her instead of the demon's holding her."

"...She'll hate me if I do that..."

Shura laughed, "She'll hate you more if you don't."

"You know...coming from the person who lost his girl..." He sighed, "Never mind," Yusuke maneuvered his way through the crowd of half dressed demons and took the girl, Keiko, from the arms of the grotesque demon who had moments ago held her.

"OI!"

"Don't Oi me! Don't you know who the hell I am!"

"...Lord Urameshi..." The demon stubbornly bowed, unwilling to meet the Demi-Lord's eyes.

"..." The girl stared up in shock, betrayal, relief...confusion. She had met him when she'd gone to Kuwabara's place once for a book. They had taken an immediate liking to each other...but..."Y-you're a...demon...?"

He took her back to where he'd been standing moments ago, "Yeah, so what? Blame my parents for my genetic material, not me. I was only born." He avoided her eyes and continued watching as the others were stripped of her clothes. The surrounding area was an eerie place, though, nothing that would cause a human or Angel too much fear. The real fear came from those that resided in such a place.

"Oh great King Shura,"

Yusuke and Shura turned to see Jinkako, a woman warrior in the Demon Realm, known for her power over the wind, and the terror she caused within the hearts of Angels. She was actually really a nice Demon...as long as you weren't an Angel...

"Jinkako, what is it you hide behind your back?" Shura questioned.

"Why...King Shura...the main attraction...for tonight's coronation...I thought you might enjoy her. She...seems to really want to do this."

"The main attraction?"

"Well, as you are aware, a Demoness or Human is chosen on behalf of the King, and he is to have her as his till he chooses to kill her or have her disposed of."

"I see, and you've chosen one that you believe is worthy of me..."

"More than worthy..." Jinkako smiled, "She's made such a beautiful vow...before God himself..."
