Chapter 10
"Nowaki taht ot rewsna eht wonk uoy (You know the answer to that Nowaki)" Hiyake said smirking evilly and Nowaki glared
"Sruoy ton, enim si Hiro-San llew!(Well Hiro-San is mine, not yours!)" Nowaki said childishly making Hiyake growl
"Dlo sraey 200 uoy era tahw? (What are you 200 years old?)"
"Os 213 ma I yllacinhcet llew (Well technically I am 213, so)" Nowaki said pulling his right bottom eyelid down slightly and stuck out his tongue.
"Toidi na er'uoy! (You're an idiot!)" Hiyake said making Nowaki smirk
"Evol ni eb ot ekil s'ti tahw wonk I tsael ta tub, toidi na eb thgim I(I might be an idiot, but at least I know what it's like to be in love)" Nowaki said causing Hiyake to have an anger vein.
"Naem ot esoppus that si lleh eht tahw!(What the hell is that suppose to mean!)" she yelled and Nowaki looked to her with a serious hateful look
"Mih truh t'nac uoy tahw sseug tub, pu su kaerb ot yrt dna ti dnats t'nac uoy dna uoy erofeb evol decneirepxe dna dnuof I; snaem ti tahw yltcaxe wonk ouy! (you know exactly what it means; I found and experienced love before you and you can't stand it and try to break us up, but guess what you can't hurt him!)" Nowaki yelled causing Hiyake to growl
"Did uoy; mih truh t'ndid I, haey(Yeah, I didn't hurt him; you did)" She said and Nowaki had wide eyes and looked to Hiroki and saw that he was still in shock; it was to be expected after all to find out that your lover that you dated almost a year is a demon would shock anyone for a long time. Nowaki took in a deep breath and looked to Hiyake with a sad glare
"Em t'nsaw ti! Uoy saw ti! Uoy evigrof reven dluow I truh uoy fi ro siht fo esuaceb em setah Hiro-San fi! (it wasn't me! It was you! If Hiro-San hates me because of this or if you hurt him I would never forgive you)" Nowaki said knowing Hiyake would still hurt Hiroki even if he hated him.
"Taht si yhw dna?(and why is that?)" Hiyake asked crossing her arms making Nowaki angry
"Mih evol I!(I love him!)" Nowaki said causing Hiyake to roll her eyes
"Demons etah ot tnaem! Daeh kciht ruoy hguorht ti teg Nowaki! Yas rehtaf dluow tahw! (Nowaki get it through your thick head! Humans are meant to hate Demons! What would father say!)" she asked and Nowaki growled
"Skniht eh tahw this a evig I ekil!(Like I give a shit what he thinks!)" Nowaki said shocking Hiyake as this was the first time she has ever heard Nowaki say a bad word and growled
"Akab! (Baka!)" she said running towards him and Nowaki grabbed her hands pushing her back, but she pushed with all her might and Nowaki was starting to be pushed back and she smirked, "Nowaki regnorts m'I(I'm stronger Nowaki)" she said.
"Mih truh uoy gnittel ton m'I, that tuoba ees ll'ew!(We'll see about that, I'm not letting you hurt him!)" He said pushing back. They continued this for another minute
"OWT UOY! TLUAH! (YOU TWO! HAULT!)"
The two demons froze, stopping their fight and turned to the side to see a larger demon appear. Hiroki had gotten over his initial shock and looked to the larger demon not knowing what to think
"Rehtaf"(father) Hiyake said bowing her head
"D-dad (D-dad)" Nowaki said with wide eyes somewhat in fear. Hiroki had wide eyes as well as he looked to Nowaki and back to the larger demon… this was Nowaki's father?
"Ereh no gniog si tahw!(What is going on here!)" he asked angrily
"S-su dnif uoy did woh tub, ris tcepsersid on(N-No disrespect sir, but how did you find us?)" Hiyake asked and he growled
"Uzumaki thgir taht t'nsi, enoemos niatrec a yb tuo dnuof I(I found out by a certain someone, isn't that right Uzumaki?)" He asked and the dark sky blue haired girl walked from behind his legs
"Htrae revo dehctaw dad ecalp eht morf saremac elots I… Nowaki yrros. Yrros… uoy revo hctaw dluoc I os pu meht tes I(Sorry Nowaki… I stole cameras from the place dad watched over earth. I set them up so I could watch over you... sorry)" Uzumaki said and saw Nowaki smile slightly as he didn't hold it against her and she sighed in relief but froze when their father spoke
"Retal uoy htiw laed ll'I, ereht revo og Uzumaki (Uzumaki go over there, I'll deal with you later)" Nowaki's father said pointing to a corner and she obeyed and he looked to Hiyake, "Gnithgif erew owt yhw nialpxe won(Now explain why you two were fighting)" he said in a firm but demanding voice
Before Nowaki could say anything Hiyake pointed to him
"Human a gnitad si Nowaki!(Nowaki is dating a human!)" she tattled in the tattletale tone of voice making Nowaki glare at her but sighed and looked to his father to see him glaring at him
"Humans etad ot neddibrof era demons, Nowaki! (Nowaki, demons are forbidden to date humans!)" he said and Nowaki glared at his father.
"Enola eb ot desoppus I ma! Earth gnivael morf em dennab uoy! (Am I supposed to be alone! You banned me from leaving earth!)" Nowaki yelled. It wasn't fair, his father banned him from leaving earth since he was 5, technically 200, and on his birthday too. If humans hated demons why did his father ban him here with no powers to defend himself?
"Sey!(Yes!)" he yelled seeing Hiroki look at him knowing that this was the human that his son was 'in love' with. He turned his attention back to Nowaki when hearing his son growl deeply
"Uoy kcuf llew! Demons rof neddivrof si Hiro-San gnitad fi erac t'nod I. Nwo ym no em dennab ylimaf nwo ym retfa syawyna demon a sa flesym redisnoc t'nod I! (Well fuck you! I don't care if dating Hiro-San is forbidden for demons. I don't consider myself as a demon anyways after my own family banned me on my own!)" Nowaki yelled angrily. He truly believes that Hiroki was the only one who cared for him. He did have friends when he was little but when he turned thirteen his demon wings were growing in… everyone he knew started to fear him and hated him. He was forced to leave the only home he knew, the orphanage that found him alone the day his father banned him. Everyone hated him since until he met Hiroki.
"Siht tuoba nrobbuts os uoy era yhw? YREVE name I dna demon yreve ot neddibrof si ti!(Why are you so stubborn about this? It is forbidden to every demon and I mean EVERY!)" He said angrily but was shocked to hear his son curse and wondered why he was defying it. Nowaki clenched his fists hard
"Erac t'nod I! Hiro-San htiw evol ni m'I! Mih truh enoyna ro uoy, Hiyake gnittel ton m'I!(I don't care! I'm in love with Hiro-San! I'm not letting Hiyake, you or anyone hurt him!)" Nowaki said
"Yhw? Human ylno s'eh (Why? He's only human)" he said growing more confused to his son's reaction. Why is Nowaki defending this human so much? Is Nowaki really in love… no demons and humans should hate each other
"Em rof serac ohw eno ylno eht s'eh! father t'nod uoy tcaf a rof wonk I dna!(He's the only one who cares for me! And I know for a fact you don't father)" Nowaki said saying the word 'father' in so much venom
"Human s'eh tub!(But he's human!)"
"Mih htiw ev ot ynitsed ym s'ti! erac t'nod I!(I don't care! it's my destiny to be with him!)" Nowaki said determined to protect and guard his one true love, his destiny.
"Ynitsed ruoy wonk ylissop uoy dluoc woh?(how could you possibly know your destiny?)" Nowaki's father asked as if his son doesn't know what he was talking about; not even he knows what his destiny is
"Mrof Human ym ni saw I Hiro-San tem I nehw esuaceb!(Because when I met Hiro-San I was in my human form!) Nowaki yelled angrily
"Os? (so?)"
"Mih tem I erofeb Human a otni mrofsnart ot woh wonk t'ndid I! ( I didn't know how to transform into a human before I met him!) Nowaki said and his father had wide eyes as he saw the truth in Nowaki's eyes and the determination and almost gasped at a memory that popped into his mind and turned to Hiyake who was enjoying the father-son fight
"Human eht truh ot aedi doog a t'nsi ti kniht I Hiyake, mu (Um, Hiyake I think it isn't a good idea to hurt the human)" he said and Hiyake looked at him like he was crazy
"Yzarc uoy era! (are you crazy!)" she asked and turned to Nowaki and smirked "Demon Brawl a no tuo uoy llac I Nowaki! (Nowaki I call you out on a Demon Brawl! If I win I kill Hiroki!)"
That statement caused their father to smack a hand on his forehead. Nowaki had wide eyes in fear and Uzumaki ran up to them
"Dad taht od reh tel t'nac uoy! (You can't let her do that dad!) she yelled and their father sighed
"Siht revo lortnoc on evah I(I have no control over this) he said
"Hell fo relur eht er'uoy! Siht od reh tel t'nac uoy!(You're the ruler of hell! You can't let her do this!)
"Ti pots ot rewop eht sah eno on dna Demon Brawl a yned nac eno on taht setats ylraelc selur eht, tarb tuo gub! (Bug out brat, the rules clearly states that no one can deny a Demon Brawl and no one has the power to stop it)" Hiyake said and Uzumaki growled as her father said it was true
"Ti nmad! (Damn it!)" Uzumaki yelled earning a slight glare from her father
"Ydal gnuoy esruc uoy t'nod (don't you curse young lady)" he said and she ignored him and got in between Nowaki and Hiyake. She got into a fighting stance
"Ecalp efas a ot Hiroki-San teg, ffo reh dloh ll'I, Nowaki (Nowaki, I'll hold her off, get Hiroki-San to a safe place)" she said and Nowaki nodded thankfully
"Iah(Hai)" he said running to Hiroki. Hiroki looked up at Nowaki as he held his hand out "Hiro-San, I have to get you out of here" he said and as Hiroki didn't do anything Nowaki sighed, "Hiro-San, you can hate me later, but now you're in danger, I need to get you to a safe place"
Hiroki silently grabbed Nowaki's hand and Nowaki pulled him to his feet. Nowaki ran to the motorcycle and it was in good shape and got on. Hiroki followed Nowaki on to the bike holding onto Nowaki's abdomen so when Nowaki sped off he wouldn't fall. Nowaki pushed the bike as fast as it could go since he knew Uzumaki wouldn't last long with Hiyake. Nowaki got to their apartment and stopped. Nowaki and Hiroki got off the bike and Nowaki had wide eyes as he felt Hiyake close by.
"Hurry Hiro-San, get inside" Nowaki said and Hiroki went inside and Nowaki followed. Nowaki was looking around the kitchen as fast as he could frantically looking for salt. Hiroki watched confused as when Nowaki found the salt he circled the whole apartment on the outside with salt.
"Hiro-San, stay in here, demons wouldn't be able to get in here now since demons can't pass salt" He said from the door and sighed "Don't leave, not until I come back, and I will explain everything later" he said shutting the door and turned around to see Hiyake
"Won Demon Brawl, Nowaki kcirk ecin!(Nice trick Nowaki, Demon Brawl now!)" she said and Nowaki smiled
"Fine, now that Hiro-San is safe I can fight you without worrying of losing" he said
"Won English ni gniklat(Talking in English now?)"
"Yes, spoke it for many years" he said following her towards a mountainous area a mile or so from the apartment and had no people around. It was Nowaki's idea to have the Demon Brawl there since he didn't want to hurt any human; even though Nowaki should hate the people that hated him and caused his life to be miserable, he didn't have the heart for it; he was too kind. As they got closer to the mountainous area Nowaki was hoping that he would survive this and go back to Hiroki like he promised and that Hiroki wouldn't hate him
