The next morning
"I am here to pick up Sheimi-san." Amaimon informed her mother. "We will be meeting with"
"What are all those little demons doing?" Sheimi's mother asked horrified at the invasion of the little demons.
"They are green men that have taken a liking to your daughter and they wanted to come and get her with me." Amaimon stated. "I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up with more familiars after this is done." He smiled slightly. "My kin seem to really like and trust your daughter."
"Your kin?" Sheimi's mother inquired. "How are they your kin?" Her face showed open curiosity.
"I am the Earth King, so any nature spirits from Hobgoblins to tree spirits are considered my kin." Amaimon informed the older woman.
"I will never understand why someone would like to be around demons as much as my daughter. First Yukio and Rin and now you." She muttered under her breath. "If you hurt her I will not rest until one of us is dead." She warned the demon prince.
"I understand that, and I would never wish to truly want to hurt her." He informed her. "Aniue would kill me if anything happened to any of the cram students." He stated.
"Sorry, did I keep you waiting Amaimon-chan?" Sheimi asked as she walked into the room in her kimono. "I was trying to water the plants and take care of the garden a little before you got here." She apologized to the Earth King. "Shall we go, that forest won't fix itself…Wait, it will, just not in the next few days." She said giggling at what she was saying. Amaimon's face lit up when he heard her giggle. The green men swarmed her and started to climb up her kimono to reach her head and shoulders, causing all of them to laugh at the 30 green men fighting for a spot on her head and shoulders. "Stop that it tickles!" she gasped as they were unintentionally tickling her.
"NII!" Nii-chan came into the room and started to yell at his friends for 'attacking' his tamer. "Nii, nii, nii, nii, nii." Amaimon burst out laughing at the young familiar's cries.
"Alright already, stop harassing the tamer." Amaimon demanded of the green men surrounding and clambering all over the girl. "We have work to do and this isn't helping grow the forest." He reminded them all. The green men stopped what they were doing and all bowed to the Earth King. Amaimon knelt down and lifted Sheimi's familiar and placed him on his own head, making all the other green men jealous of the little one.
"Let's go!" Sheimi said and started to walk out only to find Amaimon not following. She turned and started to walk out only to find Amaimon not following. She walked back to Amaimon and grabbed his arm pulling him after her. Her mother smirked at how her daughter was dragging one of the most powerful demons behind her. "Where is Rin?" She asked Amaimon as they walked toward the section of the forest that needed to be fixed.
"Aniue gave him and Yukio a mission, so he won't be joining us." Amaimon informed her. "You know we could get there faster if I carried you." He said looking down at where her hand was wrapped around his own. She stopped and looked at him, then realizing she was still 'dragging' him she let go as if his hand was on fire.
"Sorry, I didn't…" She trailed off when she noticed how hot his eyes were as he was staring at her. "Are you okay, Amaimon-chan?" She asked him, worried that he was mad at her for touching him. "Did I offend you by touching you?"
"No, I am just not use to being touched outside of battle." He said breathlessly, making her blush. "I think I like it." He said blushing as well. He reached out and grabbing her hand he laced his fingers with hers, making sure that he didn't cut her with his nails. They continued on their way and when they reached the area she was astonished that the forest was halfway done.
"You continued to work on it last night didn't you?" She demanded. "I hope you didn't use too much power, or you might get hurt." She said with worry coating her voice.
"Demons are stronger at night," He reminded her. "And that was done by the green men, not me." He informed her. "They wanted to impress you with what they could do." Amaimon smiled at her.
"They did this to impress me? Why do they care what I think?" She asked bewildered at the actions of the nature spirits.
"They care because I care." He said with great emotion. "All nature spirits care for the thoughts of the Earth King," He said, not looking at her.
"Why does one of the Eight Demon Princes, care about a worthless human girl like me?" Sheimi asked confused and unsure of what she was going to do no matter what the answer.
"You are not worthless, and even demon princes have hearts and emotions." Amaimon responded carefully, not wanting to scare her off. "You care about nature, and people that could and would hurt you given the chance. Your kindness and compassion knows no bounds. How could I not notice how my kin surround you trying to get your attention and so many of them would love a chance as your familiar?" He shook his head. "All of nature seems to be drawn to you! I don't think that you could ever realize how much the pure spirit and love of nature calls to demons of higher power." He stepped towards her slowly advancing until he was right in front of her. "Demons love tainting pure people, but most will not touch someone as pure as you. You drive me crazy! I don't want you to be hurt, or fighting demons, I want you to be safe and smile all the time, I want you to never experience anything bad again." His hands were gripping her shoulders gently. "I want to kill everything that could hurt you and keep you all to myself." He leaned forward slowly and with one of his hands he lifted her chin. "Most of all I want to kiss you and make you mine. Mine to love, and mine to protect, but I won't do that without your consent." Amaimon looked at her and moved until they were inches apart.
Sheimi looked at the raw emotion in his eyes and reached out to touch his face with her hands. "I understand." She whispered so low that she was sure he didn't hear her. His eyes closed and he leaned into her palm. "Kiss me?" She asked quietly causing his eyes to snap open and widen.
He pulled her even closer and placed his lips upon hers, a gentle kiss that lasted only a moment, but left both of them wanting more. When he lifted his head from hers he noticed her eyes were closed and all the spirits were gone, including Nii-chan. "Sheimi-san, I-" He was cut off when she pulled him back to her lips and when they separated again they were both panting. "I can't believe I fell for a human." Amaimon said with a smile. "Again?" He asked. She nodded and when they were kissing he opened his mouth and licked her lower lip, asking for entrance. She opened her mouth and his tongue slipped in to tangle with hers. This time when they separated they were both panting and flushed.
"Is it always like that?" Sheimi asked, trying to catch her breath.
"I don't know you are the first girl I have ever kissed." He responded honestly. Sheimi flushed even brighter when she realized what he said.
"I don't want to stop." She whispered. "I want more…" she shook her head. "But at the same time I am scared." She looked at Amaimon in wonder. "How can I have such confusing emotions?" She looked around and saw that the trees were fully grown and so were all the plants. "Wow, how did this happen?" Amaimon looked around and he saw that the power used to grow these plants was his.
"Apparently I did it, though I have no idea how." He stated in awe. He looked at Sheimi and realized that she had flowers in her hair and she looked beautiful to him. "Did you put anything in your hair before we left?" She shook her head and he noticed that they looked like they were growing out of her hair. The power in them was not his or any he had ever seen before. He was dumbstruck. "I don't know what is going on, and I need to find out. Give me a minute I need to speak to Aniue." He told her as he pulled out his phone and called Mephisto.
"What do you want, Amaimon?" Mephisto snarled, having been woken up by his phone. "It is only 8 am."
"Aniue, something is happening and I don't understand it." Amaimon stated to his older brother.
"What is it?" Mephisto's voice was calmer. "What did you do this time?"
"Umm…could you come over here? Click." Amaimon closed his phone and in a few seconds turned towards his older brother who was coming over in his dog form. Poof Mephisto was suddenly standing in front of Amaimon.
"What is it?" He asked once again.
"Look around this forest was in shambles until about 5 minutes ago." Amaimon told his older brother. "I don't know how but all of a sudden everything is fully grown." Mephisto looked at his brother and Sheimi then he smirked.
"What happened 5 minutes ago?" He asked curiously.
"He kissed me." Sheimi said calmly. "And before you ask, yes he had my permission to do it." At Mephisto's look she blushed.
"He kissed you and everything grew?" Mephisto was trying not to laugh at how that sounded. "What happened after that?" He asked.
"All we did was kiss." Amaimon responded. Mephisto looked at him and smiled a kind smile. "Do you know what is happening?"
"Yes, but this is not the time or place for this conversation. Come to the mansion and I will explain it to you both." Poof Mephisto turned back into a dog and walked away from them thinking about what all this meant.
"We should follow him." Amaimon said quickly. He reached out his hand and took hers, interlacing their fingers. He then started in the direction of the Mansion. Sheimi nodded and walked by his side the whole way.
At the Mansion
Mephisto led them to the salon room and Poof returned to his humanoid form. "You want to know what is happening." He asked his little brother. Amaimon nodded. "You have found your queen."
"WHAT?" Amaimon and Sheimi shouted in unison. "How do you know when you meet your queen?" Amaimon asked.
"Your power grows, and they Change." Mephisto stated calmly.
"What do you mean Change?" Sheimi asked. "I don't feel any different."
"Do you normally have flowers growing out of your head?" Mephisto asked her sarcastically. "Do your eyes normally shine with green light?" She shook her head to both questions. "Are you telling me you can't tell what has happened to you?"
"I don't feel any different. I don't feel anything in my hair, I don't see a shine from my eyes, and the only thing that is different feeling is the way my lips feel." She snapped at Mephisto.
"Why do your lips feel different?" Amaimon asked. "They look the same." He stated looking closely at her lips.
"They feel all tingly." She said softly. "It doesn't hurt."
"Wait, how far have you gone?" Mephisto asked. "Don't look at me like that, I am asking because she will change every time you kiss, little by little." He explained.
"One hesitant kiss and one make out." Sheimi said softly. "How long will it take before the Change is complete?" She asked worried about what everyone would say. "And how much will I Change?"
"It depends on how long it takes you two to have sex." Mephisto stated calmly. "Once that happens all of the Change will finish and you will have all of the powers as the Earth Queen. Your powers will be the same as Amaimon's." He thought about it for a second. "Also you will Change until you have a fully demonic body. So until you become a demon." He informed her.
"What will my mother say?" She asked herself.
"She would probably want you to stop seeing Amaimon, but that will only put you both in pain. He will weaken, and if you don't see each other every day, you will be sick and after a week you will die." Mephisto informed the scared blonde. "Mind you most of the Changes can be hidden once it is complete." Sheimi looked at him confused.
"What do you mean hidden?"
"You will have the ability to change your appearance at will. So you will be able to look exactly like you want until you release your true form." Amaimon answered.
"What do you mean by most can be hidden?" She asked.
"You know how Rin has a tail, fangs, and pointed ears?" Sheimi nodded, "That is what will be in every form you take unless it is an animal form." Amaimon thought about things for a second. "So you are saying that until we have sex she will die if we are separated for more than a week." Mephisto nodded. "I won't pressure her into it." Amaimon snapped at his brother. "Sheimi, I think we need to talk to your mother." He said to his scared queen. She nodded. "Do you have a preference to where we are when we tell her?"
"I think it would be best if we were outside. That way we have access to our powers." She said softly.
"Very well, how do you suggest we get her outside?" Amaimon asked. She shook her head showing she didn't know the answer to that question.
"How about you ask her to go on a walk with you to see the work you have done." Mephisto offered. They both like that idea.
