Disclaimer: Yep, I know. I say this every chapter. But I just want to make sure I don't get sued. Seriously. Anyways, I do not own any of the characters of Gravitation.
Oh, btw. This chapter starts in a flashback
Kaname flopped face down on the large bed, sighing.
After being robbed of Mizu, he'd decided to go to the meeting, only to discover that his father wasn't there.
'Lying old bastard.' He thought 'I ended up being the only true rep. from Hell there.' He bit his lip 'Uneventful as ever' He rolled onto his back 'Though,' He thought 'That angel… was captivating…' He exhaled 'That Goddess of Light.'
He chuckled softly.
'An angel and a demon.' He smiled softly 'Now I really am crazy.'
The door opened. Kaname, too tired to and comfortable to sit up, turned his head towards the door to find Mizu standing in it.
"Lord Kaname…" He said softly "You're back."
"I suppose I could say the same to you, Mizu." Kaname replied
There was a silence as Mizu hovered in the middle of the room, quivering slightly underneath Kaname's expressionless gaze. Eventually, Mizu closed the door behind him, and started to move towards the bed, towards Kaname's now extended hand.
"Mizu…" Kaname murmured softly "What--." He began, his fingers trailing across Mizu's face. "--did you and my father talk about?"
Mizu drew in a shaky breath, as Kaname's feather light touches spread to his cheeks, and them to his sensitive earlobes. But, he remained silent.
"Or is it…" Kaname said, gently pulling Mizu down to him "You won't tell me?"
"Lord--." Mizu began, but fell silent when Kaname's fingers grazed his lips.
"Shs." He began "Just…"
Kaname's voice trailed off, expecting a kiss, Mizu shut his eyes.
A moment later, Kaname spoke again.
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
Mizu's eyes snapped open, to find Kaname staring up at him with annoyed eyes, his hand removed.
"L--Lord Kaname?" Mizu questioned, confused.
"This room is a mess. Not to mention I'm starving." Kaname said "Clean this stuff up, and be quiet about it." He rolled over on his side "I'm tired."
Not sure how to respond, Mizu sat still for a long moment, until he felt tears welling in his eyes. He moved off the bed, gathering the clothes off of the floor.
"I-- I'll go wash these…" Mizu said, moving towards the door.
He didn't realize he was actually crying until he looked down and saw the tears glinting on the leather of Kaname's pants. Nonetheless, Mizu continued forward towards the door, until he felt a firm grasp around his waist.
"Mizu…" Came a heated breath in his ear.
Suddenly, the pile of clothes was flying from Mizu's arms, scattered around them on the floor, as Kaname pulled him into his embrace.
"Lord Kaname--." He began
"M-Mizu." He murmured "Please. Don't leave me."
"But--." Mizu began, confused "You just said…"
"No! Not like that!" Kaname began "Not--." He took a shaky breath "I don't mean don't leave me to do the laundry, I mean, stay with me! Don't leave me because my father tells you to."
Mizu tensed.
'I'd recommend,' A voice played in his head 'That you'd stay far away from my son. And that you refused to exist for him in any other capacity than a servant.'
"That's it, isn't it?" Kaname asked, not releasing his hold on him "That's why…" He trailed off "That's what my father told you, right?"
Sighing. Mizu agreed.
"Yes."
Kaname placed a chaste kiss on Mizu's neck.
"Ignore him!" Kaname began "Mizu I--."
But Mizu wasn't paying attention. His mind had trailed off.
"Mizu?"
'But--.'
'You love him?'
Mizu nodded.
'Then do what's best for him, Mizu.' The Demon Lord replied 'To Kaname, your relationship is nothing more than a joke. Nothing more than a childish game, a wall to hide behind to avoid his future.'
Mizu fell silent.
'Do this for him.' The Demon Lord continued. 'Don't allow Kaname to hide behind you forever. I know you care for him, Mizu. But… you're just a servant. Not to mention a man. What good can your relationship do Kaname?'
Mizu remained silent.
'You can't marry him, without scorn because you're a man. Needless to say, you can never bear him children. Because of your status you can never take the throne, nor rule Hell."
'Have you ever thought…?' Mizu began 'And forgive me if I'm out of line, but…' He swallowed 'Have you ever thought of having another son?'
The Demon Lord chuckled.
'There is… no greater ruler for Hell.' He said softly 'Than Kaname.'
Mizu raised a silvery eyebrow.
'But.' The Demon Lord continued, settling into his throne 'Let's be real, Mizu. What can you offer Kaname? What does your relationship do for him?'
Kaname face flashed into his mind, his dazzling smile, shining eyes. The soft blush on his cheeks when he was embarrassed. The heated look in his eyes as they made love. The peaceful look on his face as he slept.
'He's…' Mizu spoke, so softly it was barely audible 'Happy.'
The Demon Lord chuckled.
'What?' He asked 'Mizu… for how long? How long will he be happy with you, and the innumerable amount of women he sleeps with? How long will he be interested in you?'
Unable to answer, Mizu fell silent.
'Mizu. For both of your sakes.' He began 'End it now.'
When Mizu finally came back to his senses, he discovered Kaname's body still wrapped tightly around him. Trembling slightly.
'He's right.' Mizu thought as Kaname shifted his body around, so that Mizu was facing him 'I can't let him run anymore. I can't be his shield anymore.'
Kaname's lips brushed past Mizu's, only to find them still in response.
"Mizu…" He murmured, grasping him "Mizu…"
'I want to be with him. I just want to--.'
"I love you." Kaname murmured
Mizu opened his eyes, to find the warm blush spread across Kaname's cheeks.
"L--."
Before he could form the words, Kaname wrapped his arms around Mizu tighter, and kissed him passionately.
Unable to resist any longer, unable to deny his feels again, Mizu allowed it to happen. Allowed Kaname's kisses to sweep him away, his hands to wash over his body.
'I'm sorry… Demon Lord Yuki…' Mizu thought, melting into Kaname's body as Kaname slowly stripped off his clothes, pressing his bare skin to his 'I love him. I can't… I can't say no to him. I know this is bad. That this will bring nothing but Chaos…' Kaname carried Mizu's lithe body to the bed 'But I don't care…'
Kaname looked over at Mizu, far too worn out and tired from their lovemaking to remain conscious, he pulled his body to his, wrapping his arms around the tiny man.
'Mizu…you can't leave me…' He murmured 'I need you too much…'
--------------------------------END OF FLASHBACK!!!!!!!----------------------
"God Dad!" Yuki shouted
Kaname, snapping out of his dream, turned to his son.
"Huh?"
"You were such a brat!"
Kaname chuckled.
"Yeah." He replied, calmly, lightly amused "I guess I was."
Yuki paused, looking away.
"Did you love him?"
"Hm?"
"Did you love him?" Yuki asked again "Mizu?"
Unsure how to answer, Kaname fell silent for a beat.
"In a way… yes…" Kaname murmured
"But…" Yuki pressed, his eyes meeting Kaname's "Did you love him like he loved you?"
Again Kaname fell silent.
"No." He replied after a beat. He closed his eyes again, and allowed his mind to travel back to Mizu.
"What?" Shuichi asked "What do you mean 'A Chaos Wielder with no Chaos to wield?' How can you be a Chaos Wielder with no Chaos?"
Sighing, Mizu took a moment to gather his thoughts.
"That's precisely the question everyone sought to answer during Lord Kaname's youth." Mizu said "It's not so much that he has 'no' Chaos." He paused, attempting to find a way to explain it all to him "It's just that, Lord Kaname has… extremely little."
Shuichi, now intrigued, scooted closed to Mizu, waiting.
"You understand how Chaos Magic works, correct?" Mizu asked, when Shuichi nodded, he continued "How the attacks all use Chaos Matter and Energy?"
Shuichi nodded again.
"Right."
"And,
unlike yourself, Shuichi, who has an abnormal amount of Chaos Matter
in you. Lord Kaname has virtually none."
Shuichi cocked his eyebrow.
"Then, how is he a Chaos Wielder?"
Mizu raised an eyebrow, and then realization spread across his face.
"You don't sense it, do you?"
Shuichi cocked his head.
"Huh?"
"Chaos Matter… see, we demons can sense all levels of energy. Chaos Energy reads different than other demonic energies. When Kaname was born, they could sense the energy in him. So…"
"It's there. Just not very much?" Shuichi finished
Mizu nodded.
"It was always thought that his Chaos matter levels would grow with age. So, he was taught all about Chaos Magics and the like."
"But…"
"It never did." Mizu began "It never grew. Well, not enough to be significant, anyways."
Mizu sighed.
"Can you imagine it? Raised to be Hell's greatest leader. A powerful Chaos Wielder without the power to do so."
Shuichi's eyes fell.
"So… that's how he knew… all about Chaos Wielders." He murmured. "Because he is one." His voice trailed off.
Suddenly, Shuichi's mind flashed back to the battlefield, and Kaname's voice played in his mind.
'Chaos Chains!'
"But… then how…" He began "How did Kaname… cast his Chaos Chains… and Chaos Sleep?"
"Well, while Lord Kaname may have very little Chaos Matter, he does have some. But only enough for low level attacks. As a child… in demon years anyways… he was pushed to try and perform other attacks… stronger ones, such as the Chaotic Eternal Night and the Chaos Dimension."
"And?"
"The… the strongest he could ever manage on a regular basis was the Chaos Arrow."
Shuichi's breath caught.
'That… barely takes anything out of me…'
'What do you mean, on a regular basis?"
Mizu exhaled, trying to find the best way to explain.
"Your Chaos Energy replenishes itself rather quickly…" Mizu began, then adding "Faster than normal, actually." Shuichi raised an eyebrow. Mizu continued "Lord Kaname's… doesn't. His takes a lot longer, and he has a much shorter amount of Chaos Matter, so it not only limits the amount of Chaos Attacks he can do."
"But how often he can do them."
"Exactly."
Shuichi narrowed his eyes.
"You'd never guess." He began, "How weak he is. Since…" His mind flashed back to Kaname and Yuki's fight "He's so… incredibly strong."
"That was mostly Kaname's doing… as what you call on Earth a 'teenager'… Kaname was always eager to please his father, the previous Demon Lord. And since his father was so ashamed to have sired a weak Chaos Wielder, Kaname spent hours upon hours each day, studying Black Magics, fighting skills, sword techniques. And after millennia of training, I think it's agreeable that he's almost unrivaled in skill."
Shuichi nodded.
"Chaos Magics, Black Magics."
"Eventually some White too." Mizu murmured "Though his father wasn't too happy about that."
"White?"
"Yes."
Mizu began, fondly "That was after the Lady came… and brought
light to hit palace."
"The--… Yuki's mother?"
Mizu nodded.
"Oh how Lord Kaname loved her." Mizu smiled warmly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes "But, that wasn't without its complications."
Shuichi raised his eyebrows. Mizu sighed, preparing for a long story.
REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!
A.N. Funny story. So I'm at Pointfest (a rock concert in Missouri) and I'm all uber pumped and I'm like 'Scarlet, you're gonna do this… you're gonna go crowd surfing!' So I do. Like ten times at a Saliva concert. And I have a hella good time. Which would've been all good, but unfortunately… I bruised my ribs and screwed up my digestive track. It like stopped functioning for a couple of hours, causing me massive pain. I'm on a liquid diet right now. It BLOWS hardcore. Scarlet-Chan's lesson for the day: Don't crowd surf. (Unless you're like me and are prepared to get hurt )
I'm not gonna lie. I really didn't wan to end this chapter here. There's uber much more info to get through, but, to be honest, I seriously couldn't bring myself to write anymore. My fingers hurt.
