Chapter 1

Hell is not a fiery place that people burn in once they die. It is a whole different world where the race of demons have been confined to. They live their lives fighting and giving birth to new little demons. There are very few women, so the men have been genetically altered to reproduce. It is not an easy process though and many die during child birth. Not only that, but the angels from Heaven come to attack often, killing them off. This is a problem because every demon is born with a mate that they are meant to be with and if that mate is killed, then they can't reproduce with anyone else. Sometimes there are exceptions to this rule, but basically the demons do not have it easy.

Our story begins at a demon school where either the demons choose to be warriors or breeders and search for their mate among other young demons...

It was during the daily training session for the young warriors and there were a few of them goofing off again and not working as diligently as the others since there hadn't been any attacks from the angels in quite some time. "Hey Ruki, when are you getting yourself a mate?" Aoi asked, nudging his friend. Ruki pushed at Aoi, growling softly.

"When you finally talk to that hot piece of ass you've been staring at for the past couple years." Ruki replied, smirking slightly at Aoi. Aoi shut up, suddenly very interested in his sword.

Reita walked through the gates of his new school, sighing at having to, yet again, introduce himself and make friends. It was the third time this year. He looked around while making his way to the headmaster's office, watching some warriors train. He would've liked to try that sometime, but it wasn't happening. He stopped dead in his tracks when his eyes fell on some petite blonde dancing with a sword. He felt his heart speed up a bit and he leaned against the closest wall, deciding to watch the warriors a little more. It couldn't hurt.

"I'm going to get some water." Ruki said, before running around to get to the school entrance. He saw Reita peeking around the corner of the school and decided to talk to him. He hadn't seen this guy before. "See something you like?"

Reita just smiled, faintly embarrassed. He had the right to look, after all, it was one of the reasons he changed schools so much. "I see several things I like... But I think I liked one more than the rest." He was blushing a little more now, but still kept his cool.

"Hmm, which one?" Ruki asked, looking Reita over and deciding that he wanted to watch him a bit more as well. This was the first time he truly looked at someone else like this.

Reita smirked, playing with the end of his fringe and adjusting his noseband. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He kinda hoped he was showing some of the interest he was feeling, but didn't want to just say it, it wasn't elegant. "Now excuse me, I have to go meet the headmaster." He turned around, walking to the school, but quickly spoke over his shoulder."The name is Reita, nice to meet you."

Ruki followed Reita, not wanting to let him go yet. "Well, Reita, I'm Ruki and allow me to show you to the headmaster." Ruki offered, jogging up next to Reita and holding out his arm as if escorting Reita. His courting of Reita would have to be put on hold for the moment though because suddenly everything around the school started dying. The grass turned a dull brown, the leaves on the trees shriveled and all the flowers wilted. The air also became distinctly colder. “Fuck!” Ruki swore, quickly pushing Reita into the safety of the school. “Stay there! The angels are attacking!”

Reita was disoriented, his heart screaming that he could help, but he knew his place and just followed the instructions. Damn fate for making him a breeder. He ran inside, following the mass of people behind the teachers, some screaming wanting to go outside, no doubt to their mates. Soon some tall blond guy grasped his arm and guided him to the basement, where everyone else was gathering. "I'm Uruha, you're the new guy right? Come on..."

Outside, all the warriors were running to get ready, most putting on armor to protect their naked torsos and experienced warriors already joining them. Tora ran around, making sure all the doors to the inside were locked before bumping into Ruki. "They're fine, but I didn't see Hiroto, the guy I'm courting... Let's make it quick..." He looked down, his body shaking a bit. It was his first real fight. "They're gonna be alright? We're gonna be alright too?"

Ruki nodded and went to grab his sword, quickly getting into a fighting stance. The sky soon filled with angels, flying down with their large, white wings extended. They attacked, shards of sharp, deadly ice flying out at the demons. Some hit the warriors, wounding them or killing them and spilling their blood out onto the ground. Then, of course, the long range fighters took their mark and began shooting their arrows at the angels, who fell to the ground whenever their wings were damaged.

In the midst of the mess, Kyo, one of the older warriors who came to help, shot an arrow straight into the white wing of the one who seemed to be the commander of the attacking troupe. The angel was sent flying back and the arrow hit a tree, pinning the creature to it by the wound. This disoriented the angels, who didn't know if they should help the commander or fight the demons attacking them with renewed fervor. Now that they somehow had the upper hand, Kyo ran to the tree, approaching the angel slowly, arrow ready to retaliate any aggressive move.

Satsuki released a scream of frustration, trying to pull himself away from the tree he was pinned to. He only succeeded in hurting himself more though. He whimpered and set his cool blue eyes on finding the one that had pinned him to the tree. He'd kill him.

Kyo aimed the arrow to the middle of the angel's forehead, intending to scare, but not to shoot right now. He wanted to know some things first. "Are there more of you? Do you have another attack ready?"

Satsuki said nothing and broke free from the hold of the arrow with a final pull at his wings. He could barely stay up in the air, but he shot some icicles at Kyo, knocking the arrow from the demon's grip.

Kyo cursed, jumping back away from the icicles and getting his arrow from the ground as fast as he could. He spared a quick look at the other warriors, some had fallen, but they were doing well. Hissing at some minor wounds, he got ready and shot an arrow, this time with the intention to kill.

Satsuki moved to dodge it, but he wasn't fast enough and it caught his shoulder just before he fell to the ground with a pained cry.

Kyo looked around once again, seeing that there were several moaning and crying angels on the ground and that very few were still in the air and already they were beginning to retreat. He ran to his pray, standing right beside him and aiming at his chest. "One move and you're dead, I'm not gonna be so nice this time. Now tell me...is there another attack ready? Are there more of you watching us?"

Satsuki glared at Kyo and weakly grabbed a small horn lying around his neck, blowing on it and giving the signal for a retreat. The demons were too prepared for it to be a truly successful attack.

Kyo let him give the warning, wishing to finish this blood bath as soon as he could too. He called one of the students nearby and asked him to tie the angel's hands together while he was still aiming and ready. When this was done, he had finally decided what to do. "Can you walk?"

The angel spit at Kyo and tried to struggle away from them, his wings curling around him as a shield.

Kyo sighed, cleaning his face with a hand. "Okay, being nice doesn't work with you." He walked to the angel, using a hand to grab a handful of feathers near the wound and force the other to turn. When he was laying on his stomach he asked help of two other demons to force the wings open and tied them painfully together and close to his back. "Okay, get up."

Satsuki hissed in dissatisfaction, still not making any move to make it easier for them to take him away.

Aoi and Ruki moved over to watch what was happening, exchanging glances with each other. "Um, sir, if I may ask..." Aoi said, while walking up to Kyo. "Why are we keeping it alive?"

"I want to ask some questions...Get the ones alive and send them to the dungeon. Burn the dead." He sighed at the angel on the ground, motioning for Aoi to help him with the creature. Each grabbed one arm and forced it to get up. "Come on, we have to talk."

Aoi reluctantly helped with pulling the angel inside. He wasn't so sure that the headmaster would want that many angels inside the school. Even when wounded, their power was not to be underestimated.
Ruki realized just then that his side was bleeding and he sighed, covering it with his shirt as he walked towards the nurse's office to get it tended to.

Kyo sighed when they had finally reached the dungeons, tired at how difficult the angel was making it all. They untied his hands to handcuff him to the wall and the blonde dismissed the other demon, turning around to fetch some cup and fill it with water. Walking to the angel, he took a hold of his chin and held the cup to the creature's lips.

Satsuki turned his head away from the water, not wanting to rely on any demon for anything. Aoi slipped away from the dungeons and went to meet with the breeders like most of the surviving warriors. He wanted to see if his long time crush was ok.

Kyo sighed once again, setting the cup on the ground and sitting just beside it. "Okay, stop being so damn..." He rubbed the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath before resume talking. "Tell me what I want to know and I'll set you free, if you don't, you'll suffer..." He picked the water and slowly let it fall on the open wound of the wing, knowing it would probably sting. "Now tell me, is there more attacks coming on the near future?"

Satsuki made the wings disappear into his back, giving him an appearance more similar to the demons. "Heal my shoulder." He said, looking down at the shoulder that still had an arrow through it.

Kyo made a face at him, breaking the arrow poking out of the skin, but doing nothing to take the point out. "I believe you didn't realize who's in charge here. Tell me what I want to know and I'll heal you. Stay quiet and..." He waved a finger slowly in the air, the tip inside the flesh turning like it was being held by a hand. Fresh blood soon began to drip of the hole again.

Satsuki hissed and gritted his teeth through the pain. "There...will be more attacks if you hold us here..."

Kyo sighed once again. "Why do you have to be so difficult? I said we are going to release you, but I need to know if there will be more attacks in the next days... If there are planned attacks. Tell me now..." He got up and reached for his sword. "Tell me now or I'll have to make it appear and tear one wing from your body. I don't have all day."

"Not that I know of, but I can't say for sure. Stay inside to be safe." Satsuki muttered, shifting uncomfortably. "If you treat me well, I can call them off..."

Kyo nodded, tired of this game. "Okay. I'll uncuff you and we will go to find you a room. You'll stay locked inside, be treated and released. Then you will go to and tell them we will release the survivors for a truce. It's mating time and we don't want to see all our younger die and leave mates behind." He undid the cuff, but kept the angels at the point of his sword and was ready to twist the arrow at any time. "I know you don't want all the young angels to die too, so don't try anything funny. You're alone in here. Let's go." He grabbed the angel's arm and start walking to the door.

This time Satsuki followed Kyo a bit more willingly, more satisfied with their agreement. After all, when he was back to full strength he'd be able to break all the other angels out too.

Kyo smirked, guiding the angel to a guest room under several glares. He motioned to the bed. "Sit." And then took a handcuff out of nowhere and tied one of the angel's hands to the bed. "Like I said, don't try anything funny. I'm being nice to protect our children, nothing more. The door will be guarded, all the ways out will be cursed with an anti-magic spell. "One little misbehavior and you're back to the cell with no food or water and all other angels will be killed, am I clear?" He reached for the arrow and pushed it out with one tug, soon healing the wound. "Nobody will help you with anything but me, so keep any smart comments to yourself." He entered the bathroom for a shower, not wanting to leave the room to go to his own.

Satsuki looked at the handcuff on his hand and soon it turned to ice and was able to break it. He curled up on bed and decided to take a little nap. It was hard work being such a pain for the demons.

Kyo sighed when he opened the door, feeling refreshed and renewed. He adjust the towel around his waist before he glared at the pieces of the handcuff on the floor and then at the sleeping angel. With one flick of his wrist the handcuff was whole again and on his hands. How careless of him forget to curse the metal. He walked to the angel, shaking him awake while gathering some power to cast the spell, the energy making his tattoos glow and his irises turn into a very pale, almost white, blue. "I said to not try anything funny..." With some ancient word the spell was done and he used the now black handcuff to tie the angel to the bed again. It would sting and make the flesh raw, but the other asked for that. "Now be a good boy. What's your name?"

Satsuki frowned when the handcuffs were in place again. "I'm not into that kinda thing, demon. Release me." He commanded, tugging at the handcuffs. He hated being tied up like some animal.

Kyo just ignored him, turning around and putting on the same clothes he wore before. He had time to go get new ones later. "My name is Kyo, I would appreciate if you called me that. What's yours again...prisoner? Because that is what you are if you don't remember well."

Satsuki watched Kyo dress, staying silent. Well, if he had to be stuck with a demon, at least this one wasn't that bad looking. "Are you staying with me?" Satsuki asked after a moment, not feeling all that willing to listen to Kyo just yet.

Kyo groaned, growing tired of the angel's antics. "Tell me your name and I'll answer that. Unlike you, I don't want to be calling you by your race." He opened the door slightly, asking for guards on the doors and windows. After that, he walked around the room, casting spells on all the openings.

"Satsuki..." The angel muttered, sighing to himself. He was tired of all the security. It made him feel caged.

"Well, Satsuki, nice to meet you, sorry for killing your pals." He finished the spells and looked at the creature on the bed, making a face at him. "Well, not really, but I thought it would work since, yes, I will be staying here. Someone has to take care of you right?" He opened the door again and asked for an extra bed and lunch for two. "Don't try anything when we're asleep or I'm afraid both of your wrists will be raw." He sat at the foot of the bed and looked at the other for some time before he resumed speaking. "So, anything more I should know about?"

Satsuki turned his back to Kyo, obviously not wanting to speak with him.

Kyo just sighed and stretched, walking to the door when there was a knock. Accepting the trays with food, he set them on the bedside table. "Do you want to eat? We have meat, vegetables and eggs, the drink is grape juice."

Satsuki turned towards Kyo again and opened his mouth, wanting to be fed.

Kyo looked at Satsuki and laughed, getting the plate and a fork and telling the angel to sit up. "I have to eat now too, I have a lot of stuff to do today. Here, feed yourself." He handed the stuff for the other and got his own plate, sitting down on a nearby chair.

Satsuki pouted though and just stared at the food with a displeased look on his face. "I need both hands free."

Kyo glared at him, a piece of tomato halfway to his mouth. "You have a fork and the meat is in pieces so you can eat one handed. Please, eat. I'll hand you your drink when you ask if you can't get it." He got up and pushed the chair to the bed side, so he could reach the drinks. "Besides, you will not be able to use your hand properly with the wounds on your wrists."

Satsuki picked up the fork and gloomily poked at his food, not really eating anything.

Kyo glared at him once again, exasperated. "You're so fucking difficult, you know that? What are you? The little prince? Are you fed by a servant back at home?" He put his plate on the bedside table and took Satsuki's meal from him, taking some food on the fork and offering to the angel. "Eat. And don't tell me your wrist is aching, I know that. Ill heal it sometimes a day so you don't loose your hand or something."

Satsuki took the food into his mouth without complaint, chewing and swallowing. He thought it funny that the demon even cared if he ate or not.

Kyo grunted in approval when the angel ate all the food in the plate, handing him his glass of juice and then finally starting on his own food. When he was finished he got up, opening the door and asking for someone come and take the trays away. He then walked to a bookshelf and grabbed a couple of good titles, letting it on the angel's lap. "I have to go now, I'll be back to sleep. Don't try okay? You're out numbered and I'm really too old to find any pleasure in torture and killing." He gave a sad smile to the other creature, leaving the room and locking the door behind him.

Satsuki sighed and knocked the books onto the floor and tried to lay down without being too uncomfortable with his hand in an awkward position because of the handcuffs.

Kyo opened the door with a sigh, throwing his bag of clothes into the bed someone had made for him. He took off his coat and used both hands on his head to pull his hair a little, trying to make the fucking headache leave him. It had been a terrible day, with crying and funerals and speeches and young lonely new fathers. It had broke his heart and made his brain confused. He kept thinking that he commanded the others to burn the dead angels, not even giving them a chance to burry their loved ones. He was exhausted. With a deep breath, he looked at the angel on the bed, tears of frustration threatening to leave his eyes for some reason. He pursed his lips and looked away, going to his bag to fetch his pjs and some other clothes. "Are you hungry? I asked for dinner... Chicken, fruits and wine. Is that okay with you?"

Satsuki didn't give an answer and just stared at the wall beside him, ignoring Kyo completely. He also hadn't had the best of days, having time to completely reflect on his position.

"Great, I know you would like that too!" The sarcasm was obvious in his voice, the tiredness making it all more difficult to accept the other's silence. He took a pair of silk, white pajamas he had bought outside today, handing it to the angel and releasing him from his handcuff with a flick of his wrist. With another move, his wrist was healed. On top of the clothes he put a toothbrush, soap, shampoo and a towel. "Here, go do your thing if you want too, you probably want to stretch that arm too... I think I don't have to say to you that the bathroom is very secure, so don't be funny..." He then laid down on his bed, hugging his pillow and sighing one more time.

"Why would I brush my teeth before I've eaten dinner?" Satsuki asked, setting those things aside for now.

Kyo moaned under his pillow, turning to look at the angel after a few seconds. "I dunno, go take a shower then. Damn, take a bath if you want... Be happy, I'm providing that to you. Please, just go. When you come back I'll be calmer and we can have a nice dinner before going to bed."

Satsuki nodded and took the stuff to bathe with into the bathroom. He filled the tub up with cold water and undressed, taking the ruined clothing off and folding it up. He then stepped into the tub and began washing off all the dried blood from his body. When he was all clean, he moved back into the main room, drying off as he did so. He placed the towel down neatly and picked up the pajamas, rubbing his cheek against the smooth texture of the silk. He approved of that very much, so he changed into the pajamas and sat on the bed.

Kyo turned on his back to look at the other, moaning pleasantly, felling a lot better after his short nap. "You look good without all the blood on your face... And you have a damn nice hair." Someone knocked at the door, Kyo getting up to get the food trays on the other side. "Here we go..." This time he left both plates on the little table beside the window, motioning for Satsuki to join him.

Satsuki moved over and sat down across from Kyo, keeping his head down to hide the slight blush on his cheeks from the compliments. What was wrong with him?

Kyo ate a good part of his meal in silence, thinking over the events of the day. He should ask Satsuki again if there is anything else he should know, but wasn't really in the mood right now... And one night more couldn’t hurt, right? He would try to gain his confidence tomorrow by letting him see the other angels before sending him away... Yeah, sounded like a good plan. Or maybe he could send the others away and keep the commander, asking for truce in exchange of him. Yes, that sounded a lot better. "Satsuki..." He cleared his throat before speaking, not sure the angel would like the change of plans."The plan changed... We will release one angel a day, until just you is here. We will do it to build trust, to show we will keep our promise, if your side keep yours. You will stay until the last one is gone, and be exchanged for some time of peace..." He looked down through his whole speech, poking at his food, suddenly feeling as sick as he felt when he entered the room.
Satsuki watched Kyo as he talked and nodded, delicately eating his food. "So you think I can have any effect on the centuries old warfare that's existed between our races?"

"The other angels respected you, you're probably a damn fine general or something. They will want you back... at least I hope so, I'm tired of seeing the young die." He gave up on the food, drinking his wine instead. "All I'm asking them is some time... Maybe they will like it too?" He looked right in the eyes of Satsuki for the next words, wanting to pass all the emotion he felt. "These kids have the right of being happy. I don't want them to die and leave behind poor miserable husbands. We lost too much last year and it's hard to see kids you have helped to raise, hopeless and depressive... I'm just... tired of not trying to do something about it."

Satsuki shook his head. Kyo had it all wrong. "I am the only son of a great general. He had business to attend to so I filled in. The truth is...they listen to me, but do not care as much about me because I'm weak compared to other angels."

Kyo groaned, but kept his plan untouched anyway. "So let's hope your father's influence on the others is enough... Tomorrow I'll go with you to the others. I want you to tell me their positions, we will send the least important ones first." He got the trays and put it outside the door for someone to pick it up later. "And please, don't lie to me... I'm not so stupid as to not check the information."

"If you know everything then you don't need me." Satsuki muttered, getting up from the table and grabbing the tooth paste and toothbrush.

Kyo groaned again, resisting the sudden urge to bang his head against the wall. "Wouldn't you like to see them anyway? And it would be a hell lot easier if you helped... We would probably be able to start releasing the day after tomorrow..."

"I wouldn't care if you killed them." Satsuki said, before beginning to brush his teeth in front of the mirror. He loved getting on Kyo's nerves. He at least still had some power over the demon.

That was it, he had enough. "We will then." He got up from the chair, getting new handcuffs from his bag. "Starting tomorrow, and you will watch every single one of them. We will tie them in the middle of a room, tear their wings off and five demons will kill them very slowly. We will probably drink his blood too, and guess what... You will drink from every single one of them with us." In a split second he was right behind the angel, both hands on the sink in front of him, watching the holy creature through the mirror. His eyes and tattoos were shining in a display of rage and power, his body emitting so much heat that it would burn the flesh into bone if he was touched. "Don't forget who's the demon here, sweetie." With one swift move, he locked Satsuki's wrist on a heavily cursed handcuff, the rage of his power making it hurt a lot more then before. He tugged on the other end, dragging the angel, who still had a mouth full of toothpaste, to the bed and closing the other end on the foot of the bed instead of the bedpost, making it all the more uncomfortable.

Satsuki stared up at Kyo, shocked. He must've went too far. He whimpered and tugged at the bindings. "Please..stop..." He begged before he could stop himself. No wonder all the angels thought he was weak.

Kyo screamed in agony, seeing his plan for peace slowly falling right before his eyes. He was frustrated at his plan, at the angel, at the deaths... at everything. This day was just too much. He threw a arm to the side, exploding some decorative statue on the other side of the room, pulling at his own hair with the other. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down, he wasn't making any sense like this. "You stop. I can't stand your superior way anymore. Do you really want to let the others die? Because then your father shouldn't fight for you. Then you're really weak, caring only for yourself." He looked the angel in the eyes, his own glassy with the swirl of emotions he couldn't even name anymore. "If you really think that... you're pathetic." With a movement of his hand, the handcuff was gone. "Go wash your mouth, you look even more ridiculous like this." With that said he walked to his own bed, sitting and grabbing a book.

Satsuki moved shakily to the bathroom, staying as far away from Kyo as he could before he washed his mouth out. He didn't even realize he was crying until he looked into the mirror. He sunk down to the bathroom floor, hugging himself and continuing to shed silent tears. Really, what good was he?

After a while, Kyo threw the book across the room, not being able to focus on a single word. He got up and sighed, walking to the bathroom slowly and opening the door. The blonde looked at the poor creature on the ground for a while and when he spoke his voice was kind, but firm... He believed every word he spoke before."Come on, you need some sleep. We both do. I'm not gonna hurt you anymore."

Satsuki shrunk back a little from Kyo, not completely trusting him yet. He did start to stand up though, his head held low to hide the tears.

Kyo waited until he was standing to gently grab his arm and guide him to the bed. "Is your wing bothering you? Do you need it healed?" He let go of the other when they where near the mattress, holding out the same handcuff as before, but with a long chain. "I can't let you stay untied now that I scared you, I'm sorry. But it's padded now and I'll just curse it enough so you will not break it, okay?" He talked while attaching him to the bedpost.

Satsuki was shaking as he laid on the bed, his eyes closed tight. He had never felt so vulnerable in his life and he's shown it to his enemy.

Kyo sighed once again, caressing the other's blonde hair quickly, almost regretting allowing his rage to get out of control. Almost... Because he still thought that it was necessary, so the angel would understand his current position. "Wake me if you need anything..." With that said he walked to his bed, getting under the sheets and trying to fall asleep.

Satsuki looked at the longer chain for the handcuffs, waiting a few minutes. It was just long enough...he wrapped it around his neck and pulled tight, cutting off his air. He gasped softly, trying to be quiet about it.

Kyo opened his eyes, looking at the angel trying to strangle himself with the chain. "You will not be able to do it. Once you pass out, your hold on the chain slacks and you can breathe again." He got up, going to the creature and using a hand on top of his to try and stop him from hurting himself. "Stop, it's stupid and you will only get a sore throat from it."

Satsuki stopped, but glared at Kyo and curled up on the bed. "Then do it for me."
Kyo rolled his eyes, going to his bed again. "I will not do it for you because I intend on releasing you. You know that. Stop being so damn difficult and childish, it will only make it all harder."

"What's the point? They'll think of me as a traitor anyway." Satsuki mumbled, tugging harshly on his handcuffed wrist.

"And here I was, thinking we were the bad guys... They will not think of you as a traitor, after all, you're being held prisoner. Don't worry about it, we will take the blame." He turned to the wall, trying to put an end on the disturbing conversation.

Satsuki sighed, but didn't fall asleep. He just stared into the darkness of the room. Kyo wouldn't understand.

Two hours later, the demon was still awake, not lost in his thoughts, but trying, somehow, to guess the angel's. "You're still awake too, aren't you?" His voice was nothing more then a whisper, not wanting to wake the other up if he was wrong.

"Mm." Satsuki replied, hugging his knees to his chest.

"I want some cookies..." He knew it was silly, but he was very far from worrying about that now, tired as he was. Maybe he was too tired and with too much on his mind to actually sleep. He got up and left the room quietly, coming back some minutes later hot chocolate and a some kinds of cookies. He turned on both of the bedside lamps of the room and sat at the end of the angel's bed. "Come on, some chocolate helps when we're miserable."

Satsuki crawled closer to the end of the bed and sniffed the cookies and chocolate. "Smells good." He commented after a moment and lifted one of the cookies to his lips, nibbling on it.

Kyo laughed a little, motioning to the food. "Of course it does! It's chocolate! I'm kinda addicted to this." He said while munching on the treats.

Satsuki smiled a little bit a Kyo, feeling more comfortable with him while he ate the cookies. They were really good and he hadn't had them before.

Kyo raised an eyebrow after some time, watching how the angel's eyes were shining in discovery, how he was studying everything like it was the first time. "Have you ever saw cookies or chocolate before...? Any kind of candy and sugary things at all?"

Satsuki shook his head. "We generally don't have to eat to live when we're home."

"Oh..." He made a troubled face, not liking the idea at all. "That's terrible! Eating is one big pleasure of life!" he smirked then, deciding to tease the other a little bit to relieve the tension. "No wonder you eat so much of all I offer, you don't have heavenly food up there. Angels are so boring..." He swallowed yet another mouthful of cookies. "I bet you don't have sex either?" His smirk was larger now, almost beaming with the opportunity of knowing some silly things nobody really bothered to find out.

The angel blushed at the embarrassing topic. "We don't really need to...But we have the ability to."

"Oh...Seriously?" he arched one of his eyebrows, trying to imagine. He had some sex himself, once with a mate, but mostly with loners like himself and was quite fond of it, but it was not a necessity. He understood this part, but something was bothering him. "But how do you... How do you reproduce if you don't have to have sex with each other?"

"Only a few chosen angels can actually reproduce." Satsuki explained. "I'm supposed to be one of them. Instead of having babies like your race does, we have eggs that hatch into the little angels. Therefore, we are able to have more children at once."

"You have...eggs? Like birds?" Now he was really disturbed. "We have to cut the babies out of our bodies...We can have more then one at once too, they're twins. But they both stay inside the demon until they are ready. Sometimes we have even 3, but the demon have to be really strong to survive to that. It's really rare." He was silent for a few seconds before he gathered enough courage to ask another question bothering him. "But eggs? You really lay an egg? How much time after the sex? Can you avoid having babies? And how much time do they stay in the egg? Are they born little children too? How old are you anyway? Is that young?" He knew he sounded a four year old, but his curiosity always got the better of him."Oh wait, but you don't have to have sex to lay an egg, right? I'm really confused now."

Satsuki laughed at all the questions Kyo was asking. "Yes, eggs. It takes a day after the sex and it's like birds or something. You stay with the eggs until they hatch. They look normal, just very small." He then paused and added. "I'm a few years old, which is almost an adult in angel years. We have a short childhood and very long adult life."

"Man, that's just disturbing...We mate for life. We have a very long life too, and the childhood is short compared to the rest. But have you seen the warriors outside? Most of them are nothing more then kids. Just now they can really mate and most of them are still looking for one. That's a little problem sometimes because we have to protect our kids from the angels all this time before they can start defending on their own... We have lost twelve kids today." His tone was more somber now, the horrors of the life outside wearing on him again.

Satsuki looked down at the cookie tray, once more feeling a bit sad. "That really is the unfair part. Our children are protected and yours aren't."

"Well, I would say that the unfair part is that we can't fly, so we can't reach your world. I still wonder how we still exist. Maybe it's because the semes are trained for combat since the moment they can hold a sword and because we reproduce all that much faster..." He sighed, looking at the window, the oppressing darkness outside not really doing anything to reduce his fears of attack. He tried to change the subject a little for both of their sakes."So, do you have any children of your own?"

Satsuki shook his head. "I haven't...what's that word you use? Mated. I haven't mated yet."

"I mated once, he was killed while bearing my child." He felt some tears trying to make their way to his eyes, but he had long years of practice on denying it passage. "But that's past. I hope you find a good and loving mate soon." He got up, taking the tray with him and turning off all the lights. "Time to sleep kid."

"Kyo..." Satsuki said softly, moving to follow him, but he only got so far before couldn't move without putting strain on his wrist.

"Yeah?" He turned to the beautiful creature, seeing him on his feet, chained to the bed. With one move of his hand, like all the other times, he was free. "Do you need something?"

Satsuki moved over to Kyo and hesitated for a moment before hugging the demon.

Kyo gasped, not knowing how to react to this. In the end, he decided to hug the other back, caressing the wounded wrist behind his neck slowly with one hand."What's wrong, kid? Don't worry, you'll be back home soon." His voice was low, not wanting to scare the other away, trying to comfort him even when he felt confused.

"But I will miss the cookies." Satsuki said softly as he held onto Kyo. He knew it wasn't just the cookies that he'd miss.

Kyo smiled, hugging the other closer to him, one hand traveling from the angel's wrist to pet that gorgeous hair. "You can always sneak away and come to me. And then we will have cookies and hot chocolate for lunch, okay?" He gave one little kiss to Satsuki's cheek, hoping the other wouldn't freak out. "Just don't get caught..."

Satsuki tilted his head and touched his cheek. "What was that for?"

Kyo almost blushed, but decided to make fun of the situation instead, smirking a bit. "Well, we call that kiss and normally it is used to demonstrate affection or love." He laughed a little then. "You probably don't like me very much, but you're just a kid, and I could never really hurt one." He patted Satsuki's head, laughing and kissing his other cheek for fun. "You think too much, I just felt like it."

"You like me?" Satsuki asked, smiling a little bit. That's why Kyo kissed him, right? He touched Kyo's cheek before placing a kiss on the demon's cheek too.

Kyo looked up, trying to hide some of the blush that had found it's way to his face. "Of course I do. You're cute when you're not trying to kill me." He laughed, embarrassed by the situation.

Satsuki nuzzled Kyo, something he often did to show affection. "I could say the same about you."

"Me, cute?" He looked at the other like he was growing another head. "Well, you have a weird taste." He nuzzled the other's neck back, hiding his face on the soft skin, not willing to let go just yet. It was nice to let somebody in once in a while.

"Kyo? Can I ask you something?" Satsuki spoke after a moment, stepping back from the demon and shifting nervously. "How do you know when you found someone you want to mate with?"

"Oh..." He stepped back, letting go and looking around and deciding that messing with his bag of clothes was a good distraction for his nervous hands. "We just... know, I supose. Demons are meant to mate someone, so we just feel that spark of affection when you lay your eyes on your mate for the first time. It's a very good feeling."

"Oh...." Satsuki looked at the floor, feeling a little confused. "Does it have to be the first time you see them?"

"Why are you asking me that?" Kyo gave the other a weird look, already feeling where this conversation was going, fighting some urges he was feeling, ones reserved just for a mate.

"It's nothing..." Satsuki replied, turning and going back to his bed. "We should get some sleep." He laid back down and curled up under the covers, trying to ignore these new feelings stirring up inside him.

Kyo looked at the ceiling, thinking about what to do. Probably the best was just go to his bed and sleep too, but that though was gone when he realized he was already kneeling on the other's bed. The demon used a hand on Satsuki's chin to make him face him and covered the soft lips with his pierced ones as gently as he could.

Satsuki made a muffled noise of surprise, parting his lips slightly. He laid flat on his back and held onto Kyo's shoulders, pulling him closer.

Kyo took his sweet time, sucking, nibbling and just feeling the angel's lips before licking his way in. He gasped at the sensation, the feeling running through his veins being as strong as when he'd first kissed... No, he would not think of that, not now, when he had this untouched creature willing beneath him.

Satsuki moaned softly, trying his best to return the kiss, even if he was obviously less experienced than Kyo. That was a fact that didn't seem to matter at the moment though, because Satsuki was just so thrilled that Kyo returned his feelings.

After a while, Kyo stepped away like he was shocked, using a hand to cover his own mouth and looking around with disbelief on his eyes. He walked straight to the bathroom then, shoving his head under the cold water of the sink. When he lifted his head, he pulled on his hair until he calmed down. Grabbing a towel, he looked at the angel on the bed, almost crying when he saw the beautiful sight. "I'm sorry..." His voice was a broken whisper. "We can't."

Satsuki felt like his heart was torn out just then. He turned his back to Kyo and buried his head into the pillow, trying to will himself not to cry. He was so stupid, thinking that a demon would want an angel.

Kyo dried his face, sighing and trying hard to not cry. He felt like he was losing a mate again, which didn't make any sense at all. He was an enemy, damn it! A wrenched sob left his throat before he was able to swallow it, and years of loneliness came rushing back to him, his legs failing, and his body sliding against the wall. He used the towel to hide his face and muffle his sobs, feeling pathetic and weak. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...."

Satsuki heard the heartbreaking sobs and he knew he couldn't keep away. He moved from the bed and went over to Kyo, pulling the demon into his arms. "Kyo, shh, it's ok..."

Kyo accepted the other's comforting arms, deeply breathing in his sweet scent several times, trying to calm down. He let go of the towel and embraced Satsuki back, holding him close to his body. When he could talk, he tried to explain his breakdown. "I... I think I really like you. What should be impossible. But... But we can't. We're...we're enemies. I'm sorry if I scared you with that kiss."

"No one has to know." Satsuki said, kissing Kyo's forehead. "I like you a lot too." He admitted. He gently kissed away the few remaining tears on the demon's face.

Kyo hissed as if in pain when his face was kissed by those sweet lips. "Don't tempt me like this..." But he was already lost, turning his head to the side so he could capture Satsuki's lips for some a few seconds. He groaned when they parted, wanting more. "We can't because they will know somehow..." He kissed the other's lips again. "See us..." Kiss. "Or suspect that I'm not sending you home." Kiss."You can get pregnant..."

"We'll be careful..." Satsuki insisted, stroking his fingers through Kyo's hair as they shared the small kisses.

Kyo groaned once again, picking the angel off the ground and dropping him on the bed, his lust acting on him even when his mind still insisted on thinking about the future. He laid down on top of the blonde, the kisses longer now, hands traveling down the delicate sides. "But...How will we prevent you from getting pregnant?" He kissed down the white neck, moaning even when he was the one caressing. "Most of our young ones get pregnant on their first mating..."

"Kill the eggs before they hatch." Satsuki replied, letting his head fall back to expose more of his neck to Kyo. "They wouldn't have anywhere where they could fit in if they lived anyway."

Kyo nodded against the long expense of neck, the idea not sounding so absurd. He could do it if Satsuki couldn't. It would be just normal looking eggs. Who would suffer to break an egg? With that in mind, he used both hands on the bottom of the angel's silk shirt and pulled it up and off. He couldn’t hold on a second when he saw the white skin, resuming the kissing of the neck and nibbling down on the collarbone.

"Nn...Kyo..." Satsuki moaned, arching his back when the other's lips traveled down his skin. It felt so good.

Kyo continued his path down, kissing a nipple very softly, watching for the angel's reaction. He then licked it sometimes while using his fingers on the other. When the bud was standing and red, he blew some air on it, watching the goose bumps on the other's body with fascination. When he was happy with it, he moved to the other, giving it the same treatment.

Satsuki trembled slightly, his skin feeling highly sensitive to Kyo's touch as if it came alive when he was with Kyo. How else could it feel so right if this wasn't supposed to happen?

Kyo went lower, kissing every inch of skin and dipping his tongue in the navel sometimes. Not being very patient, he started to tug on the silk pj trousers, motioning for the angel to lift his hips from the mattress.

And Satsuki did so, trusting Kyo enough to let him progress.

Kyo started to suck on the skin just above Satsuki's groin, caressing the slight bulge slowly and carefully through the last layer of cloth. Deciding it was not time yet, he slid up the blond's body, threading his fingers into the glorious hair while claiming the soft and moist mouth as his again.

Satsuki pressed up against Kyo, wrapping his arms around the demon. "Kyo..." Satsuki panted once they parted from the kiss.

"Hm?" He moaned back, not sure if it was just a rhetorical moan or the angel indeed wanted his attention. Even if he had answered verbally, his mouth resumed his path on the other's body, licking and ear and the little spot behind it. His hand dove into the bulge again, squeezing with gentle pressure.

"Mm...Can I touch you too?" Satsuki asked, his hips rising into the touch slightly.

"Mmm... I was really hoping you'd do that soon." He got a firm hold of both of the angel's hands, placing them on his shoulders while one of his own sneaked inside the blond's boxer to caress him to full hardness.

Satsuki's hands fisted in Kyo's shirt, tugging on it as he released little mewls of pleasure.

Kyo took a deep breath, trying to calm his lust and let the boy explore a little too. He tugged on the underwear until he took it off and then rolled off the angel, laying down on his back. "Come on..." One gentle hand on the other's waist was all he did to transfer the message of what he had in mind.

Satsuki sat up and crawled on top of Kyo, this time taking his turn to touch him. He pushed Kyo's shirt up and off first, then nervously slid his hands over the other's chest, tracing the tattoos down over Kyo's arms.

Kyo sighed in comfortable pleasure, resting his hands on the angel's thighs, caressing up and down slowly.

Satsuki leaned down and placed a kiss over Kyo's heart, smiling to himself. "Mine."

Kyo laughed in embarrassment at that. "Okay..." He slid the caress on the thighs farther away, cupping the angel's buttocks, parroting the other in a much more malicious way. "Mine."

Satsuki laughed and nuzzled Kyo, before beginning to pull the demon's pants down. "It will be."

"Oh well, I certainly hope so..." He squeezed the other's buttocks again while squirming to help the blonde with his pants.

Satsuki pulled them all the way off and settled himself back on Kyo, kissing him on the lips again.

The demon moaned, loving the felling of the plush lips and moist tongue against his own. He fought the urge of throwing the other back into the mattress and take the reins again, deciding to let the other have his fun for some more time.

Satsuki shyly sucked on Kyo's bottom lip, rubbing one of his hands over the other's lower stomach. His hand slowly moved lower and took hold of the demon's arousal, stroking it lightly.

Kyo gasped at the feeling, the touch so light he wasn't sure he was being touched. Both of his hands came up to cup the angel's face, turning his head just the right angle so he could ravish his mouth. He traveled the expense of moist flesh slowly, feeling everywhere he could reach and giving a long lick to the roof of the delicious mouth.

Satsuki's grip on Kyo was a little less shy now, matching the intensity of the kiss Kyo gave him.

With one quick movement, Kyo grasped both of the angel's thighs and rolled on top of him, kissing down the white flesh fast, only subsiding when he reached his lower stomach. There, his hand traveled slowly, getting a firm grip of the other's cock and pumping it in a slow maddening pace, teasing the tip with his thumb. He let his mouth travel lower then, biting at a hipbone and finally laying butterfly kisses on the engorged head.

Satsuki gasped, taken by surprise by the sudden change. He moaned when Kyo gave attention to his aching length though, wanting more of his new mate's touch.

Kyo closed his mouth over Satsuki's cock, licking the tip several times while one of his finger started to massage the tender skin right under his balls. When he felt satisfied with the reactions, he let his head fall, taking more of the aching length into his mouth and sucking for a long while before moving to provide friction.

"Ahhn..." Satsuki sounded softly, sliding his hand down into Kyo's hair as he enjoyed the feelings he'd never experienced before.

Kyo gave one last long lick to the head before kissing Satsuki's mouth again, drunk with the other's taste and scent. He then out a breathless laugh, gripping the blonde's cock with one hand. "So, you liked that?" He kissed him again for a long time, moaning at the amazing sensation. "Do you want me to go down on you again?" He spoke the dirty words directly to the other's ear, tongue working on every patch of sensitive skin maliciously.

"Kyo..." Satsuki whimpered, taking one of the demon's hands and licking a finger. "I want to give it a try...having you inside me..." He whispered the last part, sliding the finger into his mouth and sucking on it.

Kyo moaned at the sight of the angel sucking on his finger, offering other one as soon as the previous was slick enough. He then smirked, nuzzling the blond's neck. "Hn. So eager... And I was even willing to play some more." He took his fingers out of the warm cavern and circled Satsuki's opening with them, adding gentle pressure but not pushing inside. The demon then licked the head of the engorged cock again and provided gentle suction before gently forcing the tip of his finger inside, careful for any negative reaction.

Satsuki shifted slightly, but didn't make any protest to having the finger inside him. In fact, he encouraged it by pushing back against the finger.

Kyo smirked around his mouthful, pleased at how things were going. With one sure thrust, he pushed his finger all the way, repeating the movement just a few times before stopping as far as he could go. His mouth left Satsuki's cock to lick around were his finger was buried, pushing the tip inside sometimes very gently.

"Nn...Kyo..." Satsuki panted, gently moving his hips with each movement of Kyo's finger. It wasn't unpleasant at all for him, it was quite the opposite actually.

Kyo licked around the entrance one at a time before he forced another finger in, his lips now kissing the hip bone and his eyes trained on the other's face.

Satsuki trembled with need, one of his hands snaking down to take hold of his own cock, gently pumping it with the movements of the fingers within him.

The demon grunted, softly slapping away the angel's hand, his mouth coming to lick the other's flesh gently, with long intervals. He started scissoring his fingers inside Satsuki's entrance, stretching the delicate muscle, and crooking his fingers once in a while, trying to find the bundle of nerves he knew was there.

Satsuki cried out softly when Kyo found his spot, rolling his hips down against the fingers. He didn't know what Kyo had done, but it had felt so amazing that he didn't want it to stop.

Kyo took a deep breath, slowly inserting one more finger inside the other. He was now shaking softly in arousal and wasn't sure he could wait more. "Are you okay?"

Satsuki nodded and looked down at Kyo, a little moan escaping his lips. "Mm, please..."

Kyo sighed, forcing himself to calm down and do everything properly. He took his fingers off slowly, and massaged the entrance a for a few seconds. He then eased one of the angel's legs on his shoulder, grabbing the other and making it wound around his own waist. He crawled closer and positioned himself. "Are you sure?"

Satsuki nodded, without hesitation, taking one of Kyo's hands into his own and holding it close.

"Ok... It can hurt a little at first." He pressed inside slowly, groaning at the tight ring of muscle enveloping him. He squeezed the hand on his, trying to comfort the angel as best as he could. He stopped when he was all the way in. "Ok?"

Satsuki's hand squeezed back and the angel nodded again, looking only slightly uncomfortable.

Kyo then was quiet, trying to focus on not coming just yet. The warm, velvety skin around his cock felt like heaven and he wanted it to last as long as possible. Gathering some strength, he gave one shallow thrust, watching Satsuki's face intently. When he thought it was okay, he thrusted more powerfully, but still kept the torturing slow pace.
Satsuki's head fell back against the bed as the pleasure began to take over and he panted softly, enjoying it more with every one of Kyo's thrusts inside him.

The demon let his head fall forward, biting softly on the other's neck. He brought the hand intertwined on his to rest on his shoulder so he could use both of his to gain leverage. With a breathy moan, he speed up the pace, changing the angle every few seconds to look for the bundle of nerves inside the blonde.

And Satsuki let Kyo know when he found it. He arched up into Kyo, moaning loudly and scratching his nails over the demon's back with his free hand.

"Shh...No one can hear us..." He kissed Satsuki's mouth to muffle the moans, his hands fisting on the sheets now, the pace faster and faster. "Fuck, you feel so good..." He let out a little moan of his own, too breathless to kiss the other again. "Oh, fuck...!" He changed the position, hooking both of the angel's legs on his elbows, thrusting deeper.

"Ahhn, Kyo..." Satsuki moaned and bit his lip to hold back some of the sounds. A strange feeling was building up inside him more and more.

Kyo felt himself nearing the edge and wound his fingers around the other's cock, caressing it up and down quickly. He wanted to be able to watch the other when he came. "Come for me, Satsuki."

Satsuki didn’t take long to fulfill that request. He bit down on the back of his hand as he came, muffling his small cry of pleasure.

Kyo wasn't able to watch the beautiful face in pleasure for more then a few seconds. The muscles around him spasmed with the rest of the angel's body, taking him inside even deeper and squeezing. A long groan left his mouth when he came, eyes tightly shut and feeling the strong pleasure take him in waves. It was just after long, almost painful seconds that he fell on top of the other, completely spent. "I think I love you..."

Satsuki smiled sleepily and gently hugged Kyo to him, kissing the top of his head. "I think I love you too..."

Kyo smiled, kissing Satsuki for a few long minutes before pulling out slowly. He sat down against the headboard, reaching for his bag on the other bed while hugging the other close. He took two cigarettes from there, lightening both and offering one to the blonde. "Do you know how to use these? Probably not since you don't even have food up there... put it between your lips and take a drag." He did it himself, releasing the smoke some time after that.

Satsuki took it, looking at it curiously before putting it between his lips and trying to imitate Kyo. He only ended up coughing though.

Kyo laughed, tapping the other on the back. "Ok, that's it. Do it one more time..." He kissed Satsuki's forehead, feeling happier then what he had in years. "It's called cigarette, pretty usual around here. It's addicting too, so better stop if you don't like the idea." He used his free hand to caress the angel's hair and neck, sighing in satisfied bliss.
Satsuki wrinkled his nose as he tried it again. "It's weird." He commented, wondering what the appeal of it was. Perhaps he had just been too sheltered in Heaven.

"It is... But it feels really good after the first ones..." He dropped the butt of his cigarette on the ashtray beside the bed, doing the same with the one that was still between the angel's fingers. "Let's take a shower, I bet you're sticky." The demon laughed, grasping Satsuki's hand and pulling on it gently.

Satsuki got up off the bed, a little shaky on his legs as he walked after Kyo.

Kyo snorted, suddenly grabbing the other's body and carrying him to the bathroom bridal style. "Hey, let's take a bath instead, hm?" He turned the knobs, waiting for the bath to fill with nice hot water while sitting on the edge, Satsuki on his lap. The demon reached for a wash cloth, wetting it on the tub's water and slowly cleaning the angel's abdomen. He bit his lip in concentration, worshiping the white skin. "Are you ok? I hope you're not in pain..."

"Just a little sore." Satsuki replied, leaning back against Kyo and kissing his neck. "I'll never regret it though."

Kyo smiled, caressing the blonde's hair and whispering on his ear. "I'll never regret either..." But he did regret the time he would have to send the other away, he was a little afraid of not being able to kill the eggs too, now that his mind was not clouded with lust. He tried to block all these negative thoughts anyway, choosing to enjoy the present. "It's full..." He motioned at the tub. "Go inside, and I'll grab some oils."

Satsuki stepped into the tub and laid back, enjoying the water around him. He knew their little moments of happiness would only last so long, but he would take any time he could get.
