Chapter 5

Raikou was touching Gau's horns. He didn't know how tell Gau. He just thought they were fake, so he decided to touch them. He couldn't have expected that they were real though he did like how they feel. They weren't hard or soft, but smooth even though they are like rams horn, the horns was nice to touch. Raikou let out a laugh.

"What is so funny?"

"Oh nothing," Raikou said with a laugh. He just thought how with Gau's curly black hair and the horns the young teen looked kind of like a goat (I really mean horns like a Scape Goat from the Yu-gi-oh trading card game) "Gau?"

"Hmm."

"Have you look at our self in the mirror today?"

The teen nodded no. "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know how to say this," Raikou stopped rubbing causing Gau to looked up at him, "but you have horns" Gau didn't answer on first; still taking in what Raikou said.

"What did you say?"

"You have horns."

Gau let out a small laugh, "You're mess around right?"

"No."

Gau quickly got out of bed, dashed to the bathroom, and turned on the light. Raikou fallowed the teen. Gau stared at himself. There they were. Two horns that of circle around from in to out. Gau felt his heart beating, for he know now what was hurting his head. In fact, the pain had come back. He grabbed hold of his head.

"What the hell!" Raikou stare at the younger teen. "Why do I have horns!" He looked up at Raikou while still holding his head. "I mean they weren't here before! How the hell can just happen!"

"I don't know, but," Raikou touched one of Gau's horns and started to rub it. "I think they look good on you."

"What…" Gau could help, but to blush. Gau noticed his head wasn't hurting anymore. He grabbed hold of Raikou's hand and removed from his horn. He noticed that the pain return. Raikou looked at Gau as the teen place his hand back on the horn. "Can you please rub?" Raikou did as he was told. The pain stop. "Your touch…"

"What?"

"Your touch stop the pain and it feels good." Gau said in a happy tone. He looked at him and smile. "Raikou-san what is happening to me?"

"I don't know, but I will help you through it all."

Gau nodded his head in agreement. The two walked back to the black hair teen's room. Raikou tired his best not to removed his hand from Gau's horns. He didn't want to cause more pain for Gau. They managed to make to the horn teen's bed.

A Couple of Hour Later

Ramie opened the door to Gau's and Raikou's apartment. She was fallowed by Yoite, Miharu, and Kouichi. They had carry bags, pillows, and sleeping bags. "I'll take my nii-san's room, you two," she pointed at Kouichi and Yoite, "and nii-san can take the living room." Miharu looked at Ramie, "and Miharu you can share a bed with Gau like always." The green eyes teen nodded and headed to Gau's room. "I hope nii-san told Gau that we were coming over to spend the night."

Miharu opened Gau's bedroom door. As he walked in, he noticed that Gau was asleep; furthermore, the green eyes teen noticed that Gau was asleep on top of Raikou's lap. Raikou had his back against the headboard, one of his hand holding a book, and his other hand rubbing Gau's horns. Miharu closed the door behind him, and he walked to the bed. Raikou looked up as Miharu sat on the bed. His green eyes went straight to Gau's ram like horns. He carefully examine them.

"They're real." he meant to say it as a question, but it come out like a statement.

"Yeah," Raikou closed the book, "when I got back here and saw him…there they were. He didn't even notices until I said something to him."

"What dose this mean? Is it a trick or a spell?"

"No, I think they just grow."

"Are these…"

"I know," Raikou said even before Miharu could answer, "there demon's horns."

"Okay, now I know why he had this." Miharu pulled out a book from his bag. Raikou noticed that the book had no title on the cover.

"What is that?"

"Gau had this in his school bad." The green eyes teen opened the book. "It is about half demons."

"Half demons?"

"Yup, I don't know why he had it, but I guess he knew that he was half demon."

No," Miharu looked at Raikou, "he didn't know anything about it. He might have found it at the library."

"I see that most likely what happened." Miharu looked back at the book. "The book says that around this age half demon with strong demon blood starts to take over the human blood."

"Is that why I have horns?" They two looked down and saw Gau with his eyes open. Raikou remove his hand, but Gau grabbed it and place it back on his horns. "It because I am half demon."

"It the only reason why you have horns."

"Dose that book explain why they hurt so much?

"They shouldn't only if your human blood is trying to fight it."

"So my own body is trying to reject my demon blood."

"But that still doesn't explain why Raikou's touch stop the pain!" They heard Ramie voice coming from the other side of the door.

"Ramie!" Raikou yelled, "If you already behind the door just come in." The door opened and Ramie, Kouichi, and Yoite come in the room.

"Sorry about that Gau." Ramie said while sitting on the bed. "Anyway Miharu answer my question.."

Miharu read the couple of pages, "There nothing about it here, but it could be in later on in the book."

The group was quiet for a moment until Yoite said something. "So Gau did take out those fake human." They look at Gau then at Miharu.

"It is not uncommon for half demons to have blackout when they life is threaten, for their demon blood takes complete control of the half demon; however, when the demon blood is awaken, it would causes the half demon to starts his/her transformation in a whole demon." Miharu recited the book's text. They all look at one another.

"That means," Gau started, "that I am turning into a whole demon. Great that solve one of hundred questions. Dose that book say how someone is half demon."

"The only way a human can have demon blood is when both parent are either a human or demon. Your mom was a human we all know that, so that make your dad a demon."

"That explain why my mom never talk about him. All demons were sealed to there world after the war. Since my dad is a demon," Gau said knowing it was one hundred percent that his dad was a demon, "then it was more then like he was sealed or killed. Though I don't know why, my mom would keep this from me."

"How did she die again," Kouichi asked, "if you don't mind me asking."

Gau sat up and pulled his knees toward him. "I really don't remember it so well, but what I do remember was we were leaving Tokyo. My mom was so frighten about something in Tokyo. She wanted to leave it right away. After every was settle she took me and we walked to Benta. When we were at the outskirts of this town, something happen. I can't really remember during that time, but the only I do was my mother on the ground in a pool of blood."

"Is that all you remember?" Kouichi asked. Gau nodded his head slowly.

"Why does it matter?" Ramie stated knowing that it was hard on her friend.

"Cause if I am right then, Gau had a black out back then." They looked at him. "Miharu what is the first sign that the demon blood awakens?"

Miharu looked over the book with Yoite by his side. "Here it is," Yoite said, "Its say the demon transformations starts with healing faster." Yoite said the last part slowly.

"So you think that I awaken my demon blood back then, but then wouldn't I been a full demon by now."

"Not exactly the book say the full transformation won't be completed until the half demon 18 birthday. Beside if your blood must have been fighting all this time, but since you awaken your demon blood for a second time, must have weaken you human blood." Yoite explain.

"All this time my blood been at war. Great how am I going now?"

"Sleep," Miharu said, "it late the only thing is to do is sleep. Tomorrow is the weekend, so we can talk about this tomorrow. I tired and everyone of you look the same: tired and confuse. It best to let our brain think about what just happen. If worse comes to worse Ramie, Raikou, and me can ask our parents. They must have know this." They knew that Miharu was right and nodded their head. "Then it decide so all of you get out."

Both Gau and Miharu waited a bit before they started to talk. Even then they talked in a whisper. Gau was sitting up while Miharu was laying on his stomach. "Can I touch them," the green eyes teen said.

Gau knew what "them" meant, "Why?"

"I just want to see how they feel. Beside," Miharu sat up, "You let Raikou touch your horns."

"That…was…he…" Gau was stumbling over his words, then he look at his friend, "fine."

The curly black hair teen turn to face Miharu. The green eyes teen reach out slowly and touch the horns. Gau expected the same effect like Raikou's touch, but it was different. Miharu's touch was soft, but Gau could feel a hint of indifference. Miharu stop and remove his hand.

"They are really smooth but hard." Miharu said as he laid back down, "Do your horns still hurts?"

"No. Since the sun went down, the pain have stop."

"When you think about it. Demon used to attack during the night. My mom told me the demon have more power during the night. Even though demon can move around during the day, demons are creature of the night."

"Then I guess," Gau pull his knees toward him, "my demon blood is beating my human blood."

"Only at nights." Miharu yawned, "Time for bed."

It was two o'clock in the morning, and Gau was still up. He tired to fall asleep but he couldn't. Gau guesses it must because his demon blood. "Damn," the teen know that when morning comes he be tired then. He looked over at Miharu who was asleep. Finally, he got up and headed to the living room. He opened his door and headed out. He look around and saw Raikou, Yoite, and Kouichi was sleeping. He the headed towards the sliding doors. Quietly he open the door, he step out to the little patio. Gau used the patio only to dry clothes on hot day. Sometime he does step out here, but it only to see how the weather is. There was a railing but it was thick cement. It didn't have a good view but when the moon is out, Gau could see it clearly. Which made him glade that the moon was out tonight. There was a soft breeze of cold air. The wind was picking up and put his hand in his hair to stop it from blowing into his face.

"Well, well, well," Gau jumped, "if it not my favorite person to tease." Gau knew the voice. He turn his head and saw her. Red eyes, with long curly sliver her, and the cat like expression on the railing. It was Kouichi's young sister, Shijima.

"What are you doing here?" Gau said in a unpleasant tone.

"I here on mission for my school. Even though school is out for me, I agreed to it. Because once they told it was here, I couldn't help, but to see my brother and his friend."

She jumped down from the railing. "What with the horns. Did you lose a bet with Ramie again."

"No, not this time." Gau whisper the last part. "So why did you come here to my apartment?"

"Well I check the dorms but my older brother wasn't there. So natural I come here. Now stop changing the subject. Tell me curly-kun what with the horns?"

"It is nothing." He lied but Shijima could see through it.

"Really?" She raise an eyebrow, "okay then tell me why you here outside."

"Just breathing the fresh air. Is that so wrong."

"No, it just that you seem so different beside those horns. Now curly-kun would you invite me in."

Gau let out a sigh, "Fine, Shijima-chan do would you like to go inside."

"Love to." She walked in the house. Gau noticed that the light was on.

"How long have you guys been up," Gau said to Raikou who was sitting by the sliding doors. He saw Ramie and Kouichi going over plans while Yoite and Miharu was cooking a midnight snacks.

"For a while," Raikou said with a smile, "well since Kouichi's sister come. You should have saw it. He shot up so fast with sweat coming down his face, and he was saying something about true evil just arrived. I guess it because their siblings."

"No, Shijima-kun just have this effect on him though he never told us why."

"Ah I see," Raikou got up, walked towards Gau, and pushed Gau back outside.

"What? Raikou-san." He noticed that Raikou also step out side and shut the door.

"I want to talk with you."

"You know that they can still hear."

"Oh I full aware of that." He approached the teen. Without warning, Raikou left up Gau in Raikou's arms. Gau couldn't believe it, Raikou was holding him what worst that in was princess style.

"Raikou? What are you doing?"

"I said I wanted to talk to you." Raikou then jump on the railing. "Now lets go." Gau wrapped his arm around Raikou's neck as Raikou begin to jump more higher and father away from the apartment. Once Raikou was on the roof, he begin jumping to other roofs.

After so many roofs, Raikou stop. Gau thought Raikou was going to let him go but Raikou's hold got stronger.

"Um Raikou, can you let me down?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Just because," Gau felt like he was talking to a little kid.

"Fine, so tell me why you wanted to talk about?"

"Gau you know we met before."

"We did?" Gau would have remember meting someone like Raikou, and not just because of Raikou's pink hair.

"Yeah, but back then I had my blond hair." Raikou let out a laugh. "Though back then I didn't know it was you. When I met you here at this town on the sidewalk, I wasn't so sure if was you, but to night when I saw you in the moonlight was for sure." Gau couldn't believe what hearing. He still trying to remember when he met Raikou.

"Raikou are you sure that we met?

"Yeah, your mother and Miharu's mother brought you, Yoite, and Miharu over to play with Ramie. You were six at the time when we met. You didn't want to play with others so my mom said she have something for you. Though you didn't know that the gift she have to you was…"Raikou started to laugh.

"What was it?"

"It was a girl kimono. She was just playing joke on you but your mom thought that you look so cute that she decided not to tell you. Then you went out to see the koi fish. When you was walking over the bridge, we have for the koi pond, you slipped off the bridge. I was walking in and saw you about to fall in. I quickly jumped in and grabbed you before you fell in. When I looked down at you to make sure you were okay. I thought you were the cutest girl." Raikou let out laugh. "Though after you left my mom told me you were a boy. I told her that you still was cute."

"Wh…why did you tell me this?"

"Because I knew at the moment I wanted to help that boy I saved with anything, now that we here again and you going through this demon change. You have to stop keep and thinking that you have to do this by yourself. You not alone anymore."

"But Ramie and the other have there own problems. I can't bug them with my problems."

"Then you don't have tell them but," Gau looked at Raikou, " you didn't say anything about me."

"Wh…what…whi…" Gau blush hard, "while…you are different."

"How am I different?" Gau was blush more red, Raikou smile. "Come on," He lifted Gau's head to his. "tell me how am I different. Gau you can tell."

"I…I…think…" Gau looked at Raikou. Raikou saw Gau and though he was so cute. Red blush face and with his cat like eye fill with embarrassment. "it just different."

"Fine but you have to tell me one day."

"Ok…ay" Gau look down and Raikou was for sure that he saw steam coming out of head.

"Lets go back. I think the sun is coming out soon."

"That can't be it was three when we left."

"Yeah it was, it been and hour. You talk really slow when you are embarrass." Gau turn red again.

Apartment

When they got back everyone was asleep. Yoite and Miharu was culled up together while Kouichi was sleep on a chair. Ramie and Shijima was together sleeping in Raikou's bed. Raikou about to head to the living room, but he felt his sleeve being pulled. He turn around and saw Gau.

"Do…you want… to sleep… in my bed?"

Raikou let out a smile, "Sure."
