Landing on what appeared to be the entrance to the castle, Yuki was suddenly stopped by two very sharp swords coming dangerously close to piercig his jugular.
"Not exactly the warm welcome I was hoping for." He said
"What business do you have here, angel?" One of the sword-wielding soilders asked
'Angel?' Yuki thought 'Oh... my wings...' He realized that he had made no attempt to hide them.
"I'm looking for someone." Yuki answered
"And who might that be?" The other asked
"My father."
The two chuckled.
"Ain't gonna find no angels here." The first one spoke
"He's not an angel." Yuki muttered, realizing that the door was opening "Far from it."
Mizu froze, his eyes widening.
'It can't be...'
"Stop!" He called to the guards, rushing from the castle doors "STOP!"
The guards immediatly turned around.
"Master Mizu!" The called
"Move away from him!"
Immediatly, the guards move away from Yuki, and Mizu hastily approached him.
Yuki narrowed his eyes at the petite, yet toned silver haired man in front of him.
"You're..." Mizu began "You have to be. You two... have the same eyes."
"Do I know you?" Yuki asked
"You really are his son." Mizu continued, as if not hearing a word Yuki had said
Yuki's eyes widened.
"You knew my father?"
Mizu nodded.
"I have for many years." He replied "I would take you to him but... I'm afraid that I'm in a terrible hurry."
Mizu turned to the guards who were now standing behind him.
"Take him to Lord Kaname!" He hissed "At once!"
'Kaname.' Yuki thought 'So that's his name...'
Slightly frightened, the guards obeyed, and led Yuki past the soilders following behind Mizu.
Yuki's heart raced uncontrolably.
'I'm finally going to see him... after all these years. I'm finally going to meet my father.'
The guards stopped in front of a pair of large doors. The two guards with Yuki geustered towards the other two guarding the doors and they nodded, moving to the doors and pushing them open.
A bright light hit Yuki's eyes, causing him to squint as he walked into the room. His eyes caught a dark haired man sitting casually on a throne, one leg drapped leisurely over of the arm.
"Hello Eiri."
Kina sighed, looking around the ruins of the library.
"Well Eiri," She spoke to herself "This is going to take a long time for you to clean up."
She laughed softly, looking at the spot where the potal once stood.
'I wonder where you two are right now.' She thought 'Eiri... did you find your father? Shuichi, did you find your other half?'
Yuki stood there in silence, his heart racing, his mind searching for something, anything to say.
'I've waited all these years to come face to face with him, and suddenly, I can't think of a single word to say...'
"You look... exactly as I've imagined you." Kaname said, standing up out of his throne and walking towards his son. "So much like your mother that it sends shivers down my spine."
Yuki looked away.
"You even have her wings." He chuckled "For now anyways."
Yuki whirled on him.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing." Kaname replied "I'm Kaname. Your father."
"I know."
"You don't look like me."
"I know that too."
Kaname chuckled.
"Well, I guess the question I have for you is... why are you here?"
Yuki winced at the slight harshness of the words.
"I--." He began "I wanted to... see you."
"Why?"
Yuki shrugged, hiding his wings.
"I don't know."
Kaname looked at him curiously.
"And what brought this on?"
"I--." Yuki began, looking at his dad as he paced around him "I talked with Kina."
"Uh huh."
"And she started telling me things."
"Hm..."
"About... about my mother."
A soft smile appeared on Kaname's face.
"And you too." Yuki continued "She told me about you two. And how much in love you two were."
"Yes?"
"Is that true?"
Kaname looked up at Yuki, with almost shocked eyes.
"Of course it is." He said "I loved your mother more than." He laughed softly "Well... more than anything." He sighed, his eyes getting a warm fondness in them. "She... was by far the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Ever have seen. And from the moment I first laid eyes on her..." He exhailed "I loved her."
Yuki felt a smile creeping onto his lips.
"Tell me..." He began, sitting next to him "Tell me about her."
Kaname chuckled.
"She was... something, something extraordinary. She had a smile that could light up a town. A laugh that just lightened your heart to hear it. She was... rambunctious... kind of obnoxious at times... but it worked for her."
Kaname sighed and leaned back, putting his weight on his elbows and looking up at the ceiling.
"She was pretty... pretty wild, for a goddess."
Yuki looked up at him, wide eyed.
"Oh yeah..." Kaname replied off of Yuki's look "Your mother was a wild child. Was neverone for taking orders. Disobeyed them left and right. That's actually how we met." He began "At a meeting between heaven and hell."
-------------------------------FLASHBACK!------------------------------
"You know..." Kaname spoke "It's not polite... nor honest... to go through someone else's belongings."
The blonde haired goddess turned to him, her hair hanging losely down her back, brushing against her almos toga like robes.
"Especially for a goddess of Light." He continued
She smiled at him.
"You carry this journal to every meeting." She said "I wanted to know what as inside of it."
Kaname laughed.
"Aren't you supposed to be discussing with your fellow goddesses or something?"
She shrugged.
"Possibly." She said, standing "But, I'm sure they can manage without me."
"That so?" Kaname asked, then sizing her up and down added "You're beautiful."
"Won't it look bad to show someone of the light such flattery, Demon Lord Kaname?"
Kaname shrugged.
"I'll take that risk." He replied "Though... to show so much skin..."
"Oh." She replied "I do't like the typical robes... they're too stiff. Too heavy."
Kaname smiled, and extended his hand towards her.
"Will you walk with me, Goddess of the Light?"
"Yes." She answered "Gladly."
---------------------------END OF FLASH BACK------------------------
"And so, we did," Kaname continued "We walked along, falling in love. We began to secretly meet up everytime we could, which for a Goddess and a Demon Lord, you wouldn't guess would be all that often." Kaname looked at Yuki "Is that seriously what you came all this way for?"
Snapping out his zoned out state, Yuki looked up at him.
"Huh?"
"To hear me tell stories of me and your mother's past?"
"Well no..." Yuki began "But..."
Suddenly interrupting him, Kaname spoke.
"How's Kina been treating you?" He asked
Taken back by this sudden question, it took Yuki a moment to answer.
"F-fine... she's been good to me."
"Good." Kaname replied, standing,"I can tell .You've grown up strong, full of all kinds power. And cocky too."
Yuki rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"he way you came parading in here... not many people would just jump through a portal to hell."
"How did--."
"You're my son." Kaname said "And this is my kingdom. I know all of these areas."
"Then why bother asking me?" Yuki asked
Kaname chuckled.
"See, there's that cocky-ness again."
"If you know so much." Yuki challenged "Then you tell me."
Kaname chuckled, amused, before begining to pace around Yuki.
"Fine." He began "I know... that you're a delinquent... at best. And that Kina has her hands quite full with you. I know that you're constantly feared... by those that don't understand you. Those that don't know what you are..."
Kaname neared Yuki, placing his hands gently on his sides, almost silently daring Yuki to move.
But, I know what you are." Kaname continued "I know exactlywhat you are. Half god. Half... hehehe... demon. So what does that make you?"
"Neither in the dark nor light." Yuki said softly
"Exactly." Kaname said, even softer "Yet, you're so beautiful, and filled with more power than those pathetic creatures on earth can begin to understand. You have boundless energy that flows through your veins, through your wings. Endless power that you will never come to master."
Yuki could feel his heart rate increasing again. He swallowed attempting to burry his growing rage.
"What do you know?" Yuki spat, his eyes angry, but not moving from Kaname's grasp.
"I know that you live in a box. I know that you're constantly watched and contained for fear of your power. I know that you long to escape that... those boundaries and limits."
"I can't--."
"Why, because Kina said so? Kina is an elf. What does she know of the power of gods?"
"I can't accept your offer." Yuki continued
Kaname's eyes jumped up to that of his son's.
"You were going to offer me to stay." Yuki said, his amber eyes looking into his father's "In hell with you. Where you would teach me to stretch my wings, expand my powers. Right father?"
Kaname narrowed his eyes, anger flickering in them.
"Sorry. But I have to decline." Yuki continued, stepping back from his father "I have no desire to become a demon."
"Good. Because you never could hope to be."
Yuki spun around, facing him.
"Not with those wings, that hair. The goodness in you. Your mother's face shining so clearly in your own."
"Shut up!"
Kaname smiled to himself, feeling the energy come off of Yuki in waves, pushing everything away from him. The curtains on the windows began to sway, the glass and concrete walls slowly cracking.
"You're not... pure... enough. Neither in the light nor dark right?" Kaname asked "You could never hope to become a demon, or a god. You're neither. Half of one, half of the other."
Yuki's eyes narrowed, and Kaname looked around, moving towards Yuki.
"You feel that?" He asked softly "That rage? That pure, unadulterated power?"
Yuki closed his eyes, trying to find a stable ground within himself.
"I can teach you how to master it. Show you magic from within your powers that you'd never know of. Never learn on earth."
"Dark magics?!" Yuki asked, almost angrily
"Yes, dark magics." Kaname said, now standing calmly in front of Yuki, seemingly uneffected by the massive amount of energy being released by his son like radiation off of a cracked nuclear reactor. "The magics that will make best use of all that rage within yourself. All that power. All the energy that you keep boxed up inside of yourself on earth, you can set free here."
"No."
"Why not? What do you have to fear?" Kaname challenged "Are you afraid of your power?"
"No!"
"Are you afraid of the demon inside of you? Do you run from it?"
"I run from nothing!" Yuki yelled, the intensity of his energy waves growing
"Good." Kaname replied "Then embrace it, love it. Learn to master it. And become something of legend. Part god, part demon, but stronger, more powerful, vibrant and beautiful than both."
Yuki starred at him, almost mesmerized by his words.
"All you have to do, is take my hand." Kaname said, stepping backwards and extending his hand
Yuki starred at it, he felt his fingers twitch, and his arms start to move.
Suddenly, he was overcome with a warm sensation washing over him. He swallwed and forced himself to relax. His massive waves of energy stopped, and his rage ceased.
'That's weird...' He thought
"Ah." Kaname said "I believe Mizu has returned."
Yuki saw Kaname's eyes light up like a child's on Christmas. He turned to Yuki and spoke.
"I'll have someone show you to a room. I have business to attend to."
"What?" Yuki asked
Kaname grinned widely.
"I'm going to give myself a present."
