Chapter Four: Mating rituals and Raizel
~ Age Seven ~
It was late in the morning and Hadrian had just finished eating breakfast with his mother, he would never get used to having servants make him food, he was currently in his room and had decided to pick up the book from Undertaker and read one of the chapters he had been curious about.
Grabbing the old hardcover gently he sat at his desk beside the window and opened the book, making sure to carefully turn the yellowed pages as he searched for the chapter.
He stopped when he found it, Demons and Mating was written in elegant script across the top of the page.
(This applies for half-demons also)
Contrary to what most people believe demons do not have such thing as a 'destined mate' they have partners yes, but they are not forced to be with some random demon.
He sighed in relief at the first sentence; he didn't like the idea of being forced to be with someone because of what he was.
The same is with humans, humans are food for demons and if a demon happens to find a human they desire, which has only been recorded a few times, they either end up having to leave because of their responsibilities in Hell or slowly feed the human their blood until the human changes into a Demon also. This too though is very, very rare.
They are not immediately named mates if they have sex with one Demon once, or even multiple times, Demons have mating rituals though, that they go through with their intended.
There are multiple stages to this, and various ways it can be done, but unless they want to be bonded with the other Demon for eternity they do not use it. Demons are naturally sexual creatures, Incubus or not, and are prone to having several sexual partners over their lives and very rarely stick with one demon partner.
Hadrian was glad about the not immediately becoming a mate part after having sexual intercourse, not that it was even going to happen, he didn't want to wake up one day and have a 'surprise' waiting for him in the form of a mate.
The most intimate ritual is called 'sanguinis vinculo' or blood bond, which is exactly how it sounds. The two partners exchange blood, each having to be willing, making a bond link between them. This makes it so they can sense where the other is no matter how far, and allow them to come to the others aid if needed. The more blood that is exchanged the deeper the bond gets, but it is not just the blood that makes the bond strengthen, it is the feelings for each other that help as well.
Naturally Demons are not very emotional creatures, and usually feel protective or possessive over the human they contract with since they are their food, and any other human without a tasteful soul is generally disregarded. This is mostly because of their immortality and the years they had spent as a Demon. Other Demons are seen as competition most the time, and unless they intend to mate with the other Demon they only really see a select few as 'comrades.'
But with mates it's different.
Demons that are looking for a partner are attracted by power, not by looks, and when they have found one that fits to their liking and they mate, they most definitely feel possessive of the other. Demons are possessive by nature, so the mate is seen as their property and not allowed to be touched by another. It is unknown if a Demon actually feels 'love' toward their mate, but they do act more pleasant around their partner and seek to be in their presence.
Like the 'destined mates' idea, Submissive and Dominant demons are not different species, Demons are just that, Demons, and thus only those who are weak are weak because of their lack of power not because they are the bottom of the relationship.
As said before Demons are attracted to power, not the opposite.
The position in bed is up to the Demons, one may stay on the bottom more than the other but that's because it's their preference. Some Demons may even have to fight for who is the bottom, or even if they are to mate that day, simply because they like to test each other's power.
Now for pregnancy, female Demons can become pregnant from a male Demon, but two males, or females, cannot make the other pregnant. They can though, make a child by combining their powers, or simply take a child from the human world and change it into a Demon.
The deeper a bond is the more pleasurable their intercourse is, and if they are deeply connected the higher the chance of a child forming from their joined powers is made.
Demons are loyal creatures, so it is advised not to mess, hurt, maim, trap, seduce, or kill a partner of another Demon unless one wants to die an excruciating and slow death at the hands of a pissed off Demon.
Hadrian sat back in his chair, looking thoughtfully up at the ceiling. Being a mate of a demon sounded rather tiring, and really who would want to be stuck with someone for eternity?
Well, he mused, if they 'loved' each other that much then he guessed he could see it happening…
Not that it would happen to him, he hadn't seen another demon yet and he wasn't really wanting to. He had a book that could tell him all he needed; demons seemed like trouble in his mind, even if he was one, so it was obvious that he should stay away from one.
A child forming because of merging their power sounded interesting, it made sense really, and he wondered how many demons actually did it.
But it wasn't like he was going to meet a demon anytime soon, so he shouldn't worry about it.
He nodded in approval at his thoughts, no need to worry about something that wasn't going to happen.

~ Three months later, Seven years old~
-Dream-
He was once again enveloped by the same darkness as he had been when he first died, that meant he was stuck floating around doing nothing. Which as he had found before was rather boring, but he knew that it was a dream so he wasn't really worried.
Now what to do until he woke up…
There wasn't anything to do, he wasn't even sure if this was a dream or not, and he half expected Cain, Death's name according to Undertaker, to show up with his pink hair.
After a while though, he wasn't really sure how long, he started to be less certain about the fact. Last time it had taken some shouting until Cain showed up, and even then the Shinigami waited for a while to show him what he looked like.
He flipped in the air in boredom, his gaze distant as he thought about random things. So it wasn't shocking when he was scared half to death as a hand suddenly was placed on his shoulder.
Yellow-green eyes smiled at him. "Hello Master dear."
He yelped and would have fallen if he was even able to feel the ground. "Was that even necessary?"
The pink-haired man chuckled before gaining a glint in his eyes that made him wary. "You certainly change from that scrawny man to a beautiful rose."
Hadrian glared. "Thanks… I guess."
A hand waved in the air dismissively. "Anyways I came here for two reasons. The first is about your mother and the second you get to be introduced to someone very special."
"What about my mother?"
"She is going to die in seven years."
He blinked in shock, his heart plummeting. "What?! No! I won't allow that!"
Cain gave him a sad look. "Every one dies Master some sooner than most, and even if I am Death and you my master I cannot move mountains. I control the comings and goings of souls, but I do not control Fate, even if you were to stop it she would die sooner or later. You are immortal after all."
Hadrian sad nothing, he understood what Cain was saying, but he didn't like it. Just when he had thought that his life was happy, it was going to be torn away from him. He should be used to it by now, but every time he ended up being traumatized.
"I do apologize." Death spoke up, his eyes truthful.
He took a deep breath and nodded. "What about meeting someone?" He would find some way around it.
Cain gave him a bright smile, his eyes turning dazed. "He's a very charming young man." He cooed his eye lashes fluttering. "I've always adored his kind."
Raising an eyebrow he watched as the pink haired man fawned over a man he had yet to see.
He coughed. "May I meet him?"
A giggle was his response and Cain rose his fingers up, and snapped, a rip forming in the darkness with a red swirling energy in between it. "I want you to meet your 'alter ego'."
A black dress shoe came from the red; the leg covered in black pants slid out next, the cloth disappearing mid-thigh under a red shirt. As the body came completely out he could see the entirety of the shirt, it was a button up and red in color.
Raizel had pure black hair that framed his aristocratic face and fell to just above his shoulders, his blood red eyes only more noticeable and daunting.
But the black flame like tribal tattoos that he could see from the buttons, that weren't used, by his chest and on the top of his hand was the most eye catching.
Cain cooed. "This is Raizel, a fire elemental demon."
Hadrian blinked, gazing at him curiously. Raizel looked like a noble, his head was high and his shoulders back as he strode gracefully forward, his face aloof but not cold as he gave him a polite smile.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Hadrian." He gave a graceful bow. "I have been waiting to meet you since you were born."
He nodded. "Likewise."
Raizel looked like something out of the stories and acted like a well-bred Noble, well better then he acted anyway, but he wasn't like what Draco was in Hogwarts. Hadrian could tell he was a proud man, but he certainly wasn't boasting about how awesome he was, so he was okay in his books.
Granted he and Draco got along when the muggles started to attack the wizarding world, everyone had to, and he found that while the pureblood was still a prat he was one of the few wizards still alive and an asset to their group.
-End of Dream-
{Not reincarnation. A second chance!}
After Hadrian had communicated with Raizel for a few more minutes he was woken up by one of the maids, he thanked her and said he would come down for breakfast soon.
Now though, he had to think about this mother.
Death said she was going to die, there was no way to change that, but he never said that she had to stay dead. If he could find his father he may be able to change that fact, the book had said that Demons who chose humans as their mates could change the human to a demon. He didn't know if his mother and Phenex were mates per se, but if they were he could ask his father to change his mother since she was going to die anyway.
But becoming mates with another seemed like it was going to be something that you had to be completely sure of or you were screwed for the rest of eternity.
Hopefully his father 'loved' Angelina enough that he would make the change. If not then Hadrian would find a way to do it himself, not that he wanted to become mates with his mother that would just be odd.
He wasn't about to allow his mother to die again, even if he didn't know how she was going to die, he already had to deal with one dying for his sake.
For now he wouldn't tell his mother about the news of her dying, she was already risking so much that he didn't want to stress her out.
'Besides human tend to freak out about knowing when they're going to die, so it is inadvisable to tell them such information.'
He jumped at the cultured voice that was suddenly in his head, holding the place near his frantic heart as he took a deep breath.
'It seems that you and Cain like to scare people, but you're right, mother would more than likely end up becoming troubled about dying.'
The demon scoffed. 'I am nothing like that Shinigami, it's just common sense.'
Hadrian sighedbut nodded. 'Whatever you say Raizel.'
This was certainly going to be interesting, but at least he didn't get a blood thirsty alter ego, that would cause all sorts of problems.
He did wonder though, what it would be like when Raizel took over his body, and what the ego would do.
'Do not worry. I shall resist the urge to tear anyone to pieces, no matter how great.'
The ego knew how to use humor though, that much was certain, because that was obviously a joke.
…
…Right?

AN: As you can see Kaname won the poll after I added the votes from the reviews, but Shikamaru was very close. I did say though that the ego was going to be based on the character, not the character themselves, but I did base his looks and name off of Raizel from Noblesse. I just couldn't resist. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
