Angelic Demonz - Rai is a jerk. He does have his own reasons, albeit stupid, but he just can't realize what is in front of him, well until this chapter that is. Thanks that really cheered me up! I know I haven't updated in such a long time, but you're my number one fan on Under the Blue Moon and I hope this chapter can suffice for my writer's block^.^' By the way this is the last chapter, if there is going to be a sequel...well that remains undetermined.

They didn't want to believe it. Aero could tell by the looks on their faces that they didn't; then she would have to prove it to them so they could be safe. She turned away from them walking away.

"Aero you can't be serious!" Natsu cried out. She didn't stop to look back.

"I am. Talk to the villagers about it. They'll tell you." Aero called out until a barricade of ice appeared in front of her. She turned around tilting her head to the side lightly.

"You weren't here a week ago. The chief said that some of the villagers came to kill the demon a week ago. You didn't come here until two days ago." Gray stated.

Aero shook her head slowly. There was no demon residing here in this accursed island. The most horrible things they had were your normal forest animals. If there was a demon, it would have destroyed everything on this island and probably would have found a way off it as well.

"Rai's here. I wouldn't put it past him to cause some trouble."

At the mention of the name, Lucy noticed everyone tense. She, herself, couldn't help the foreboding feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Mou~ it's a real shame, ne?" Aero gave them a bittersweet smile. A shiver ran up Lucy's back when she noticed that the known 'demon' dark gaze was towards her. "Who might you be?"

"I-I'm Lucy." Lucy heard how pathetic she sounded as Erza stepped protectively in front of her, sword in hand. The smile fell of Aero's face as Gray and Natsu turned slowly to Erza.

"What the hell are you doing Erza?" Gray cried out angrily. Erza turned her steely gaze to him before looking back at Aero.

"Friend or not, she hasn't been to the guild in three years. She is the one we came to kill. Like she said, we always finish our missions."

The voice sounded cruel against Natsu's ears. Without a second thought he jumped in front of Aero when Erza ran at her. The blade stopped short of his chest and Natsu glared at her.

"There's no way Aero is the demon!"

"The journal that Lucy found," Erza began glaring at him, "Aero herself told of what had happened. How she was from the beginning known as a demon in her village. When she killed her parents, she was exiled."

"That doesn't mean anything!" Gray cut in standing next to Natsu. "We all know she isn't a demon Erza!"

"Aye!"

"She is right here you know." Aero claimed annoyed. "It doesn't matter now. A mission is a mission. Besides, if I were to die," she swallowed the lump in her throat, "I would want it to be you guys anyways."

"Aero..." Gray trailed off turning around sharply.

A low whistle from the wind came forth and before they knew it, the trees around were cut into pieces. Aero stared at the chopped up trees indifferently before looking to the east.

"What was that?" Lucy asked staring at the trees in horror.

"It's a high level wind spell." Happy informed. "I read aboutit in the Wizard Monthly issue. It can cut through anything, even diamond, without so much of a crumble falling."

Aero snapped her head to where the a gust of air came from and glared, She knew it was warning from Kiko. She glanced back at the others and closed her eyes. They snapped open a second later, a light purple magic circle appeared under them.

"Haunting Screech."

Black music notes appeared from the ground and began to pop. With each one that popped a screeching sound came from it. The more that popped the higher the screech would become.

Everyone bent down covering their ears against the high-pitched sound except Aero who was unaffected. Erza grabbed her sword ignoring the pain her head was in. She threw the sword at Aero who at the time had turned her back to them. The sword pierced her back and a loud scream came from her mouth. The music notes disappeared.

"Erza!" Lucy exclaimed in disbelief. Unshed tears were in Erza's eyes and Lucy's arms fell back down.

"P-Please leave." Aero winced as her hands tried to the pull the sword out. Another burst of wind came and Aero began to panic inside.

"Erza you didn't have to do that!" Gray yelled angrily. Natsu stayed still, his eyes shadowed by the poor lighting.

Aero took this time to make a move for it. The farther she was from them the better. She didn't want anything unnecessary happening to them. This was her fight and her fight only. Bringing them into this would make things even worse than before.

"Now, now I was ordered to not go after you because it would "make it funner" but this is quite the turn out." A voice cackled. Kiko stepped out of the shadows and Aero froze in her spot. A smug look was on Kiko's face as her eyes swept through group that was before her. Finally after a moment, her eyes caught onto Aero's and by the fear in hidden in her eyes Kiko knew this was the last thing the demon had wanted.

"Never knew the demon could have feelings." She spat disgusted lightly fanning herself with her fan. "Guess you learn something new ever day after all."

"Back off Kiko." Aero hissed darkly. Kiko smirked at her act to hide her fear. Oh how fun she would have tearing the demon apart. She'll get her back for everything it had did to her years ago.

"I rather not. The show was getting too good and I couldn't help but come in." She turned to look at the group. "Now which one would hurt you the most? The blond," she pointed her fan at Lucy, "the neko," Happy froze when the fan was pointing at him, "Erza if I'm correct," a dark glare was sent her way, "pinky," Natsu's face was hidden from the moonlight night, "or the ice boy?"

"Leave now!" Aero hissed taking long strides to Kiko. She snatched her wrist and held it tightly. Kiko stared at her and smirk. She knew which one it was now. But before she could do anything, arrows came from her left piercing grazing her arm.

"You were never the one to follow orders." Baichi walked out, his steely gaze on Kiko and Aero. Seya and Zero were behind him. Kiko narrowed her eyes at them. Of course he would interfere.

"The moon'll be up soon. If it's here then we need to prepare it." Zero commented bringing his bow up. He aimed it at the two. "Move or die. You should be killed for not even following orders."

Anger flashed through Aero's eyes. Just like before, they'll refer to her as an it. She was a human being as well!

"Over my dead body. Ice Make: Arrows!"

"No!Don't you idiot!"

It was to late. The arrows were being shot at the enemies, just in time for Zero to push Aero out of the way. Her eyes widened slightly before she scrambled to get back up.

"Go Aero!" Gray yelled stopping his attack just as Seya's wood magic hit him in the back. Her chest began to swell up as she watched Erza take out her sword to block Baichi's scythe. A scream came from Lucy as Kiko let out a release of wind towards her. Zero and Natsu collided. Fire against snow. Wood against Ice. Weapons against weapon. Wind against the weak-link.

"We'll take care of this Aero." Natsu grinned over at her. She stared at them in surprise. Why would they do this for her? She cut the bonds between them. Why are they doing this?

"Seya get her now before she loses control!" Baichi ordered narrowly missing Erza's attack seeing the darkening of Aero's. Just like before they were slowly becoming black.

Seya looked up, just in time to get hammered in the face by Gray's ice make.

"Seya? Isn't that a girl's name?" Gray smirked wiping the blood from his mouth.

"Why you little - !"

A hand wrapped itself around Aero's mouth taking her by surprise. She couldn't move her head and she felt lips get close to her ear.

"Pity. Would they care if they knew the real you?"

Aero began to struggled against Rai. But he held her tight, forcing her head to see the fight. Slowly, he dragged her back, trying to take no attention from the fighting mages.

"They'll die for a lost cause. Watch them die because of you!"

Unknownest to Rai, Aero's eyes finally became pitch black. Even the white part was nothing but black as she ceased her struggle.

"That's a good girl."

A dark purple magic circle appeared under them, catching Rai's attention. His eyes widen slightly but it was too late. He was already caught in her trap. The only thing that he would be able to do was snap her out of it or knock her out. His arms wound themselves around her neck as a familiar scene appeared before him.

"Kaa-san?" A younger Rai looked up at his mother. Light purple hair fell cascaded down the older woman's back. She looked down with a smile towards the small boy.

"Yes sweetie?" She asked softly.

"When is imouto coming? I want to play with her!' He cried out enthusiastically. His mother let out a soft laugh, patting his head.

"Soon honey, but you must promise something."

"What?"

"Love you sister no matter what. Be kind to her." Her dark blue eyes glistened with unshed tears. The younger boy stared at her confused.

"Duh! Why wouldn't I love my imouto?"

A lone tear slipped down her face as she hugged her son.

If only he knew what she had meant for the things to come, he wouldn't have promised her a thing. But to him back then he would have done anything for the mother he loved so much.

Rai buried his into Aero's hair trying to get the memory away. In every way she was like her. Her laugh, smile, way of thinking. He had her the whole time when he thought he had nothing. Was he too blind before to see even that much? Wait a second! This was only a trick by Aero. She just wanted to survive.

Smoke filled the air. Bright flames took up the sky. A lone boy was staring at the stake with a tear stained face. An older man held onto his shoulders as he watched his wife burn. In his arms, was a baby wrapped in black cloth. The boy looked up at his father.

"Take this." Roughly his father shoved the baby in his arms and wiped his hands in disgust. "Let's go meet your new mother."

Rai's eyes widened. He watched his father leave with through blurry eyes before looking back at the burning stake. It seemed like ages ago that she was holding him, singing him to sleep.

Suddenly, the baby in his arms giggled. She placed her small hand on his face making him smile for the first time. But it went away when she opened her eyes. She looked just like her mother except for those red eyes. Along with light lavender hair. If it was just a shade darker, she would've been an exact replica of his mom.

A scream of anger pierced the air, making Rai almost drop the baby. He turned back to see a man no older than his father but no younger than his mom.

"Stop it!" Rai demanded. A dark chuckle was his only reply. The hands gripping onto his arm digging deep through his jacket and into his skin.

"Miya please forgive me." The stranger said, his light silver locks covered his face like a curtain. His companions bent down on one knee, and bowed their heads. "I'm so sorry."

"W-Who are you?" Rai cried out holding his sister protectively. They looked up at him, and Rai blinked in confusion. In that one blink however, that silver stranger was in front of him. He let out a startled cry and fell on his butt. The stranger knelt down and grabbed his shoulders staring at the child in surprise. Rai looked up at the stranger scared. The stranger suddenly pulled the child out of his arms and gently held the little girl.

"G-Giver her back!"

"Is she your sister?"

Rai stared at him in surprise. This was the first time someone had regarded her as someone and not 'it', 'thing', 'this', 'abomination'.

"Does she have a name?" He asked softly caressing the little girl's cheek. The man stared at her with such gentle and loving eyes that Rai couldn't help but feel like he was intruding on something very special.

"N-No." He managed to get out.

"STOP IT!"

"Aero. Is that fine for you?"

Before Rai could even reply, the man's companions had already called him to leave. The man looked back at the girl sadly like he didn't want to leave her.

"Take care of her will you." He handed Aero to the boy with the upmost care and turned and walked away.

"W-What's your name?" Rai exclaimed trying to run after him, by now the fire was almost gone. The man looked up at his mother sorrowfully, and Rai watched in surprise as a tear escaped his eyes. Why would this stranger cry for his mother when his own father, her husband, didn't cry for her?

"I SAID STOP IT! DAMN IT!" He screamed, his arms tightening around her neck.

"Shiki."

The scene disappeared as Aero fell limp in his arms. Rai felt something drop on his arms, and his eyes widened when he realized it was a tear. He let Aero go, wiping his face furiously. He wasn't going to cry over something in the past. There was no reason to!

"Stupid girl." He hissed picking her up bridal style. "I can't wait to sacrifice you."

Zero looked up startled when he felt the wind change. It wasn't from Kiko's magic either.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" His opponent's, Natsu, fist was engulfed in flames. His eyes widen as the wind blew again.

"He's ready!" He yelled to his teammates. They looked up and nodded.

"Well it was fun." Kiko smirked jumping away from the celestial bull. Baichi and Seya did the same from their opponents. "But we have a important thing to do."

""Seya." Baichi ordered as chains appeared from under Erza, Nastu, Lucy and Gray. They wound themselves around the four.

"Yeah, yeah I got it." Seya mumbled darkly. A green magic circle appeared under them. "Wood Make: Forsaken Dam!"

"You won't get away with this!" Lucy yelled as the dam shot up. Kiko cackled and shook her head.

"Hope you guys had a great reunion. It'll be the last you'll see of her."

"What do you mean?" Gray called out. They looked at Baichi and Zero for confirmation. Zero nodded and turned away from them.

"Aero isn't the only demon on this island." He replied coolly before leaving. For the first time, Baichi cracked a smile, even if it did look creepily insane.

"Zeref would be pleased about this one."

They all froze.

"Of course! The bitch was trained since she was young to be the sacrifice."

"Dark Magic sure can be crazy though."

They all disappeared leaving the heroes and heroines of the story alone. What would become of them?

Rai nodded to his companions when they had showed up. They were in front of a cave that was barred up with a magic circle embedded into them. Yet in front of that cave was a stake. Tied to that stake was an unconscious Aero, blood dripping down her arms. Her long hair covered her face from everyone else as her head hanged downwards.

"About fucking time." Kiko grinned as Baichi walked over to the bloodied girl.

"Rai shall I have the honor?" Zero asked, bowing in front of him. Rai glanced at him for a moment, his eyes seeing his mother tied to the stake. He blinked taking a step back before realizing it wasn't his mother that was tied up but his imouto.

Baichi glanced back, a kunai appearing in his hands. He was interested in what Rai was going to say. He seemed...different to say the least. He was hesitating. But that couldn't be right. They didn't do all of this only for him to hesitate.

"No." Everyone froze and the remaining two turned their attention towards. They watched with bated breath as Rai strolled up to Baichi and snatched the kunai out of his hands. Yet before a word could be said, he plunged the knife into her legs and with jagged movements etched a rune into it. He did the same with the other leg.

"I'll do it."

No words escaped their mouths as they watched him cover his hands in her blood. From there his grip tightened on the dagger as he reached over, grabbing all her hair. He held it back, staring at her once again a flash of his mother appearing in front of him. Angrily he whipped the dagger up effectively slicing off her long hair. He let the bloody strands fall from his hands realizing that with the short uneven she looked different from the way his mother had.

He smirked glad that the reason for hesitance was finally gone and punched the unconscious girl in the face. Her face flew to the side bringing her back to consciousness. A groan of pain left her mouth feeding the group's lust for her blood to be sacrificed.

Immediately the pain broke through her daze making Aero shoot her head up so as not to scream. Her eyes widened when her neck felt a cold breeze hit it while short hair blew against her face.

"Did you have a nice nap imouto?" Rai grinned wickedly.

"Heh don't worry about it bitch ya go back to sleep soon, permanently." Kiko gave a cackle seeing Aero trying to hide her pain expression. From the corner of her eye she saw Baichi straighten up a bit and smirk while Seya crossed his arms and grinned. The bastard Zero however shook his head taking a step back from the group.

"Doushite?" Aero whispered brokenly turning her eyes to look at Rai. She looked so goddamn pitiful it was actually becoming disgusting.

"You deserve it." Baichi sneered darkly his eyes narrowing menacingly. The words rang through Rai's head for a moment making him frown. This scene was becoming hauntingly familiar to him. A memory he pushed back into the depths of his mind, a memory that haunted his dreams for years.

"What have I done?" She asked again her voice so soft it was almost hard to hear it.

"You were born!" Seya growled out angrily.

"She was born!"

Aero tried to straighten herself up, but the pain in her legs and arms stopped her. She took a deep calming breath and held her head up high. She pushed back the tears and stared straight at Rai. She could see the confusion and hatred in his face.

"Was that a crime? Was it wrong of me to hope and wish for a normal life? Was it wrong of me to think I'm an actual human being?"

"Was that a crime? Was it wrong of me to love and wish I had a normal life? Was it wrong of me to think that maybe our traditions aren't what we think, that we're not objects to be given off, but actual human beings?"

"Shut up!" Rai growled angrily, clenching his fists. How desperately he wanted to shake his head to rid thoughts of his most tragic memory. Why would they never go away? Why is she bringing up this painful memory!

"Rai. I don't regret it; coming back here to defeat you."

"Touya I don't regret it; falling in love with him."

"My only regret is idolizing you."

"My only regret is actually trying to love you."

"How blind I must've been to not see what you really are."

"What a fool I've must've been to try make such a thing possible."

Rai's hands flew up to his head, his hands gripping onto his hair desperately. Why now of all times did he have to remember? He shut his eyes tightly trying like a mad man to get the memories to escape him.

"Rai you idiot. Why did you have to let such things cloud your heart? You had so much at the guild. Why blame me for okaa-san's death?"

Then it was if a dam was broken. With those last words something snapped in Rai. Anger surged through his whole body at the use of her words. How dare she call his mother by that word? She was the reason she had died! She was the reason why he was motherless at such a young age! Yet she dares call her by okaa-san.

"You have no right to call her by that." Rai growled furiously bring his hand the held the dagger back. He let his wrath swing the dagger and plummet it straight in her shoulder. A scream of pain escaped her lips yet he paid no attention as he dug the dagger deeper into her shoulder.

"Don't cry Rai."

"Don't cry Rai."

"Stop trying to act like her!" He screamed taking the dagger out and stabbing her again. Distantly he could hear his comrades scream at him but he paid no mind as he saw Aero smile at him so gently just like his mother had when she burned under the murderous fire.

"I can never be her." She whispered brokenly her vision becoming blurry. She watched as Zero pulled Rai away from her, telling him something that was lost to her ears. Her head fell down and she watched her blood flow freely from all her wounds.

"Broken Harmony." She murmured summoning up all the energy she could to cast the spell. In just a second there were multiple high piercing sounds everywhere cutting trees and rocks. Blood even escaped Seya's and Baichi's ear from the sound. What had made it worse was that the pitches were so off that they clashed horrible together.

"You bitch!" Kiko screamed out letting go of her ears in favor of getting a running hit at the cause of the magic. Blood squirted onto her face when she dug her fist into the wounded mage's stomach effectively releasing the magic.

Instead of the pained reaction she was hoping to get, a grin split onto Aero's face. Her bloody teeth shined under the light, a laugh escaping her lips. Kiko once again shoved her fist into her stomach hoping for a reaction to satisfy her tastes. Once again, the reaction was the same and not what the elemental mage had wanted.

Before anything else could be done, there was a sudden change in the wind. The once warm breeze turned icily cold, everything around them becoming drearier. The ground they were standing on began to tremble; the bloody magic circle and the wounds on Aero began to burn brightly making everyone step back. Aero's mouth opened in a soundless scream, her eyes become a pure white, a contrast to the pure black it had become before when her dark magic had engulfed her earlier.

"What's happening?" Baichi murmured softly.

"Davona is being resurrected." Zero replied dazed as a loud howl filled the air.

The cave behind Aero suddenly broke down, and then not a second later the large heavy rocks were thrown into the air as a large dark figure rose up. Blood red horns rose from the gray forehead, twisting against each other until ending with the tips facing away from each other. The gray face held nothing but empty eye sockets with gray skin hanging on the face, parts of the skeletal structure showing. It was the same for the upper body until the torso, where all the skin disappeared only showing the spinal cord and hip bones. A ripped clothed hanged loosely from the hips, sharpened clawed hands on each side, rising to the arms where ripped arm shield barely hung on. The only thing visible on the legs was just like the face with bones and random pieces of flesh hanging on.

"The stench is fucking horrible." Kiko growled, her arm immediately going up to cover her nose.

Immediately Rai stepped up, the dagger falling from his hands, a maniacal grin on his face. "Davona behold our sacrifice!" Rai yelled holding Aero out in front of them. The demon let out a loud roar feeling the darkness that swelled in this mundane.

Davona bent down ripping her and the stake from the ground. It let out a pleasured growl when it smelt the power that was stored inside her. Its skeletal mouth opened up ready to swallow the girl when suddenly something loud and bright hit him. The powerful mundane fell from its hand, a pink haired mage glaring at him with such hate, with a smell of ripe power that Davona didn't know which was better; the powerful dark mage or the fire mage with such a killing intent.

"Don't you dare touch her." A voice hissed harshly, Davona looking down to see three other mages appear all of them smelling of ripe power.

"Aye!"

"The FairyTail guild always completes its mission. We will destroy the demon of the Black Lagoon." The red headed one smirked, a sword appearing in her hand.

"You bastards, go and fucking die!"

With those words, chaos was released once more. Davona let out a high pitched screech that shook the whole island, letting out pent up magic. With renewed energy the Fairytail guild members attacked their enemy with all they had, well that is for except one.

"Oi Aero wake up." Grey said urgently, slapping her face gently to wake up the girl. He had managed to come just in time to capture her, because that pyro-idiot forgot to catch her when he attacked the demon.

Weakly Aero opened her eyes, staring into his for a long time. A small smile played on her lips as her hand slithered behind his neck. Leaning upward towards his face she whispered, "Forgive me please."

Before Grey could utter a sound, Aero effectively silenced him with her lips. Grey felt an insane amount of heat rush towards his face, despite the sinking feeling in his stomach he closed his eyes and kissed her back. Surprisingly he fell to his knees, but it wasn't the kiss that made his knees go weak, but rather it was as if his energy was being sucked away.

Aero's eyes snapped open, feeling her energy and magic rejuvenate itself. She broke the kiss immediately only to see Grey's pale face. Regret filled her for using him like an energizer but she needed this.

"I'm sorry." She whispered quietly rubbing her nose against him. She pulled herself away from him, standing up strongly despite her aching and oozing wounds.

"Doushite?"

She turned back to him and gave a genuine smile.

"Because I made such a mess for you guys. Thank you Grey for still standing by me despite how troublesome I've been towards you guys."

Aero turned away from him, walking straight towards the battlefield. Her body didn't waver once as she marched on, focusing her magic on two attacks to finish Davona and her brother.

"Davona, I hereby sentence you to death!" Aero cried out, catching the demon's attention. It laughed at her sentence, knowing that even though the mage was filled with dark magic it was no were close to its' own demonic dark powers.

"Amplifier." A light purple magic seal appeared under her, shadowing her body in a lilac light, her short hair flying around her wildly. Slowly her eyes became pitch black. The light purple magic turned dark purple, the wind picking up dangerously

"Stop her!" Rai called out to his partners. They all nodded focusing their attacks the girl. A wall of ice suddenly blocked their way as a voice yelled out, "Don't even think about touching her!"

Grey, Natsu, Happy, Ezra, and Lucy stood in front of the ice wall ready to defend their ex-member and nakama.

"Rai it seems you lost this time," Zero mused taking off his mask, his blonde hair falling limply onto his face. He turned to his partner and smirked, "to the child who always chased after you."

"Tainted Synchronization."

A wailing harmony of notes echoed across the island, sending every living creature into frenzy. The island itself shook as the notes became higher, the beat faster while its accompaniment became lower, half a step behind as if it was chasing after the former.

Davona let out a wailing screech, bone hands flying up to its ears as an act to block out the music. It was a fail as the notes reverberated on its whole being, tormenting it with such pain at the rhythm. This was the end for the demon who had lived to serve Zeref, the demon whom is being destroyed by the sacrifice to power it up.

Aero stood in front of the grave holding wild blossoms in her hands. She bent down placing them on the grave before running a hand through her short hair. "Rest in peace."

A soft smile played on her lips as the wind kissed her face. "Sorry it took so long for me to visit you okaa-san."

"Oi Aero are you sure about not coming with us?" Grey asked coming up besides her.

"Yeah I want to find him, my otou-san." She turned to look at him with a bright smile. "Also I'll have a better control over my dark magic."

Grey blushed slightly looking away from her, not noticing his habit had kicked in.

"Your clothes Grey."

"Wahh!"

Aero chuckled turning to stare out towards the ocean. The flowers that hung over her mother's cross flew loosely in the wind towards a disappearing boat that may or may not have her brother and his friends occupying to get away.

"Ne, I know this is really selfish of me to say, but wait for me Grey?"

"O-Oi what's with saying that," He nervously rubbed the back of his head, his blush becoming bigger. Behind them in the bushes were a silent giggling Natsu and Happy. "I would've done it anyways."

"Thank you."

Aero had meant something else, they both knew that. Even Nastu managed to understand the meaning behind her words.

I love you.

Grey grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him. Aero smiled up at him, tip toeing as he leaned down. Before he could kiss her, Aero placed a finger on his mouth and with a wink said, "Save it for when I come back ~."
