Chapter 16

When they got to the succubus realm, Chris made sure the human, Viktor still have the soul of his dead dog to mask his scent. Makkachin, even though he was dead he still whimpered as if he was scared of things. Viktor could see why. The Underworld was very different from human world. It was lively with demons, reapers, succubus, monster you name it. Everything's there. And from time to time the skater could hear disembodied screams of tortured souls. The place was living haunted house!

They sneaked in, with Viktor behind Chris at all time. "Okay, there's the palace," Chris said as they reached some old building with molds around. "There's thousands of reaper guards there…and the only way for you to get in there…"

"Die?" Viktor guessed.

Chris shrugged. "I don't know I don't work well with reapers."

Viktor groaned. "How do we get in there then?" he asked. He could feel that Yuuri was close and yet he's so far away.

Chris's home was not far from there actually. It was just a few blocks away from where they were. He looked around. Reaper guards were on patrol today, they couldn't move. "I need you to stay put while I go get my outfit." Chris said. He had better ideas but he didn't think Viktor would like it.

The skater panicked. Staying here? With all creepy creatures around no! The freaky animal guardian may pick up his scent and send him to thousand years of torture or something. "No. You're not leaving me." Viktor demanded. "Nope! I'm not staying here with all this dead stuffs around me."

Makkachin whined.

"…Except with Makkachin of course."

Chris sighed. He knew this was going to happen. "Alright… take off your clothes," he ordered.

Viktor's eyes widened as he clutched on the spirit of his dead dog. "E-excuse me?"

"We need to get rid of the human clothes. You give out way too much human scent all the succubus will try to harvest you. Of course I want too but I won't do that to a friend's mate."

Viktor looked at his clothes. He wasn't that smelly now was he? "I'll have you know that I shower every day. If I'm giving out too much scent what do I do?" he asked. Too soon. Chris was removing his skimpy succubus outfit. "Chris… what are you doing?"

"Take off everything and wear these."

"…What are you going to wear?"

"Please… I'm used to being naked. This is like Friday night for me."

Viktor reluctantly took Chris's outfit and removed his own pants. "The pants are smaller than my underwear." The skater compared the pants with his underwear. The hem of his underpants will show. He looked at Chris who was staring at him…flirtatiously.

"Mmm, I want to see what made Yuuri mate with you," he said.

"…I have to get naked?"

"Pretty much."

Viktor sighed. There was nothing he could do. He removed his shirt and his underwear. He turned around so that Chris couldn't see his penis.

"You have smooth butt"

"Please don't look at my butt." Viktor blushed.

"Smooth like Yuuri's"

"…You've seen his butt?"

"Please…I've seen more parts of him than you'll ever will."

Viktor didn't like the sound of that. He need to make sure that no one looked at his Yuuri in some perverted way ever again. He put on the skimpy succubus outfit. "Okay, I'm done, the pants are too tight."

Chris eyed Viktor's crotch area. "Wow, you're packing." He commented. "and you're not even hard."

Viktor was getting annoyed. "I will really beat the hell out of you if we don't get to Yuuri now."

Now it's Chris's time to panic. "Alright, alright. Let's go." They walked out of their hiding and headed to Chris's place. So far no one noticed anything and that was good. There was a bunch of succubus talking to each other. there's demons pointing and talking about Chris.

The skater was curious. "Uhm…" Chris cut in before Viktor could say anything.

"They're talking about me." He said.

"Why?"

"I think Yuuri told you already," Chris explained. "being a male succubus. You get discriminated by other people, demons and reapers especially. We're considered as failures."

What kind of lives were they living here?

"You must be having a rough time huh?" Viktor asked. Chris flinched. They both stopped mid-way. Maybe the skater had asked a sensitive question. After all they're kind of like sex demon. Selling their bodies were the only way for them to be satisfied and powerful. A job fit for a female. Chris and Yuuri, OF COURSE they would have a hard time being satisfied. "D-did I ask a sensitive question? You don't have to answer if y—…"

"RUN!"

"Huh?"

The succubus grabbed Viktor and ran as fast as he could.

Viktor felt like his arm would be ripped off. What was happening?! Why were they running?! And importantly, from WHAT were they running from?! "C-Chris! My arm!" the skater screamed as he felt the bones in his shoulder began to give away. Chris groaned and grabbed Viktor into his lap and kept running away. They need to find a hiding spot fast. "W-what are we running from?!" Viktor asked.

"Reapers! They found us!" Chris answered while running. He could fly now but the reapers could easily bring them down with their scythe. But he knew that the reapers were faster than they were.

Viktor looked passed behind Chris and saw the reaper floating towards them. AT LIGHTNING SPEED! He panicked. Well, who wouldn't be when there's a black mass of death rushing towards them.

When the road was clear out of other demons and creatures, the reaper used their scythe and dragged Chris and Viktor towards them. Both of Viktor and Chris panicked. They struggled to free themselves but to no avail. The reaper was inches away from them. "Chris…"

Oh no, not him. Chris knew that voice very well. "G-Georgi…" he greeted back.

The reaper revealed himself. He had a full face of make ups. He looked at the succubus and the human. "Huh…" Georgi continued. "It was always you who get into trouble but now you've really done it." He looked at the human intently. "Where did you pick up this gorgeous human huh? Can I have his soul?" he touched Viktor's face. "What's your name beautiful?"

Viktor was speechless. He couldn't think.

"Hands off of him Georgi it's not his time to die." Chris cut in. "Just… give him Yuuri and I'll promise you they'll leave. And then…" he really didn't want to say this. "y-you can do whatever you want with me."

Georgi laughed. "Oh Christophe, you're always late with news. He can't have Yuuri or leave Underworld with him." He looked at Viktor again. "He'll have to die."

"What?" Viktor asked in surprise.

"Yeah," the reaper continued. "It's a shame too, you could have beautiful babies with Yuuri. Try plead to Raphael maybe he'll lessen your punishment?"

"Where's Yuuri?!" Viktor asked, angrily now that the reaper mentioned his beloved. He didn't care if he's going to die he wanted Yuuri and his unborn child to be safe. And he wanted to get them out of the dreaded underworld.

The reaper rolled his eyes. "Here we go, Yuuri's being tortured! There I said it! We reapers always have fun with our hunt you know?" he explained. "And speaking of hunt, you two will have to come with me." He locked both of them in a cage he prepared earlier.

Chris tried to break free from the cage but it's draining a lot of his energy. He had never felt so weak. Viktor too felt very weak. As if he has run a marathon for a month nonstop. He couldn't lift his fingers even. He needed to save Yuuri now.

Yuuri screamed again as Ginny the reaper slashed his wings. All the blood was gushing everywhere. His arms were chained to the wall. He had to stand on his knees. His face was bruised and there's cuts in his arms, chest, legs. There's blood dripping on his head. He couldn't take it anymore. But he couldn't run away from all this.

"Hey," Ginny called. The reaper pulled Yuuri face to look at her. "your baby daddy is here."

Yuuri's eyes widened in shock. "D-don't hurt him!" he begged. Viktor's here! He wanted Viktor now! But they're going to hurt him. they're going to kill him. "Y-you can torture me all you want but please don't hurt him he doesn't know what he's doing!"

"Aww, I almost thought of giving you mercy…" the reaper responded. "but you can't defy lord Raphael now can you? But you can look at him now…" she put a large bowl of water in front of the tortured succubus. Images began to appear.

Yuuri's tears dropped as he watched how Viktor was beaten up by a bunch of reapers. His body couldn't withstand that. He needed to leave underworld now. But the ice skater was still breathing and living. No mortals had ever live while taking a beat from a reaper before. Yuuri began to wonder how much the human have suffered. "…I want to meet him."

"What was that?" Ginny asked.

"Let me see him please!" Yuuri begged.

Ginny sighed. "No," she said blatantly. "he's supposed to die tonight. Or else you're going to get more torture." She rubbed Yuuri's cheek softly. "And we wouldn't want to hurt the pretty face now do we?"

"I-I'll let you torture me more!"

The reaper sighed again. She couldn't resist that offer. "Fine. I'll get you your human." She left the room and went to the room where Viktor was.

Yuuri sobbed softly. He wanted to see Viktor but not like this. Not when he's looking like that. His hands were chained, and pieces of his wing flesh were all over the floor. His bones visible from his sight. The smell of his blood was sickening. He was so sure that Viktor would hate him and that might save him from getting killed. Lord Raphael might give him mercy when he's not interested in Yuuri anymore.

A few moments later Ginny came back with another reaper Georgi and Viktor all bloodied up. Viktor's hands were chained to make sure he didn't do anything drastic and crazy. Not that he could kill the reaper but Georgi just love torturing humans. The skater's face was all bruised up. "V-Viktor…" Yuuri spoke.

Despite the pain, upon hearing the voice he's been longing to hear, Viktor looked up to see Yuuri. He couldn't describe the happy feeling he felt to see his Yuuri all alive. "YUURI!" Viktor exclaimed and tried to rush towards the succubus to hug him.

"NO!" Georgi grabbed the chain and prevented Viktor from moving further.

Yuuri's heart sank when he saw Viktor's action. He too wanted to hold Viktor in his arms. "Ginny…" he called softly. "Please remove the chain on both of us…" he begged again. "You can torture me more as exchange."

Viktor eyes widened in shock. Yuuri wouldn't let them do that would he?

"Ohh alright!" Ginny agreed and removed the chain. "But I want to have more fun with you later alright?" she smirked devilishly. Yuuri dropped on the floor as his arm were freed from the chain. The reaper then undid Viktor's chain.

As soon as Viktor was free, the skater gathered up all his strength and rushed towards Yuuri to hugged him tightly. "Yuuri!"

Yuuri cried as he hugged Viktor back. Oh how he missed this. Now, even if it's just for a while he got to have Viktor with him in his arm. "Viktor…! I missed you!"

"I'm so happy you're still alive!" Viktor responded and kissed Yuuri deeply. He feared that it might have been their last time there. "I missed you!" he kept kissing the succubus on his lips. Yuuri responded by kissing him back and pulling him closer.

Yuuri's tears dropped violently as he kissed him back. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry you have to see me this way, I'm all dirty…"

Viktor didn't care. "It's fine… don't cry now…"

"I…I lied to you a lot…"

"I know…" Viktor smiled. "I know everything… even about our child."

Yuuri's eyes widened again. But…he lost the scent of his child. it might not even live now after all the tortures he's been having. "i…I might have lost it…" the succubus cried.

"Oh…" Viktor looked at Yuuri in his eyes revealing his own pain as he lost the child. He hugged Yuuri tightly.

"I'm sorry! I'm careless…you must be hating me so." Yuuri pleaded. "I've disappointed you."

Viktor sighed. He wanted the child as much as Yuuri wanted it. But if the child died, there's nothing he could do. But he need to get Yuuri out of there.
