Chapter 9: Resist and Love

Previously: A little tentacle slid out of his body, towards Maya's back, ready to plunge into her heart...

-Now-

Akuma squinted as he moved closer and closer.

He was shaking an aweful lot, he couldn't do it, this girl, she was so nice to him, no one had shown him that.

"Akuma, are you alright?" Maya asked, pulling back a little.

Her back met the little tentacle, and before she could turn to see, he retrieved it, letting it return to his body.

"Yeah. I'm fine." He said, moving away from her.

Maya was quiet for a minute, then looked shocked, "I hope you didn't take that hug personally."

Akuma looked at her like she had no idea what she was talking about, but then shook his head, "No, no, it's not that. Um, I just really need some rest."

Maya looked slightly relieved, "O-oh, ok, I will go home."

"I'm sorry. I had more plans, it's just that..."

"No, I understand. I might head in early too." Maya said.

Akuma nodded, and watched her, almost protectively, as she left their territory.

He returned back to the house after following her for a few miles, only to be greeted by his mother.

"Mother, I can explain..." Akuma started.

"Shut up!" Allia growled, her eyes flashing red.

"I couldn't do it. She's just so innocent, why does it have to be her?" Akuma asked.

"She is the only half-breed in the family. Your father was a half-breed, we need that type of blood to bring him back." Allia explained to him, for the thousandth time.

"Why do you want him back so badly? He never cared about us." Akuma said.

"He did and you know it! He was killed by Maya's family. It only seems fair that we use her blood, then kill her afterwards." Allia said.

"Fine, then YOU do it. I don't have the heart to do it. Unlike you and father, who have no heart at all, or else you'd be more worried about me!" Akuma said.

Allia seemed to change emotion for a minute, just a minute.

Akuma sighed, dropping his head.

"Akuma, you must understand, I care for you. But this family only can be complete if we bring him back." Allia said.

"Ok. I just don't want to do it. It will hurt me too, because I am a half breed, it will hurt both me and Maya." Akuma said.

"I have full demon blood flowing through my veins, take some, and it won't hurt you." Allia said.

Akuma thought this over, he didn't want to do this, but, he did miss his father, sort of.

With a quick movement, he took her blood from her arm.

His eyes shot open at the electric currents flowing through his body, his lightly crimson eyes glew even more red.

When he had enough, he pulled back.

Allia smiled, "You look so much like him. Now, what are you going to do?"

"I must be the one to spill Maya's blood in order to revive my father." Akuma said, in a unfamiliar low voice.

"And then?"

"We let him feed on the rest of Sesshomaru's family, for energy." Akuma said.

Allia smirked, running a sharp nail down Akuma's face, "Naraku would be proud of you."

A/N: Well, I just gave it away! Now tell me who Akuma's father is, and what you think of this.

Sorry for the wait!
