(Fyi, everyone is speaking Japanese and this is when Noriko is about 100)
Noriko sat upon the grassy hill, peach tree casting a shadow over him. Pink peach blossoms fluttered around the young Jōtei Demon; heir to the throne of Hell. His dark crimson eyes rested on evening sky, the sun was going down in a blaze of soft oranges and reds. The sunset provoked a sense of peace in the demon prince.
Suddenly, something hard struck Noriko in the back of the head. He jumped, hand darting back to rest on the place he was struck. The peace he had felt had been rudely disturbed; he jumped up, whirling around. His eyes filled with annoyance as soon as they rested on his younger brother. There he stood, a smirk on his face, tossing a peach up and down.
"Gotcha, didn't I?" Daisuke snickered, blowing his hair from his red eyes.
Noriko snorted, turning away and sitting back down. Daisuke hurried over to Noriko, throwing himself against his older brother's back to lean on him. The smell of marijuana wafted over him.
"You've been smoking."
Daisuke gave a shrug. "That's not the only thing that I've been doing."
Noriko rolled his eyes. "I don't care about how many whores you fucked."
Daisuke tugged Noriko's long, silky hair; Noriko reached back, grabbing Daisuke by his hair and pulling him to the ground. As Daisuke hit the ground, laughter escaped him. Noriko glanced at his brother, the annoyance in his eyes soon fading. It was replaced with a sense of warmth, a smile crossing his face.
"You're so dumb...."
"Not as dumb as you!" Daisuke retorted.
He soon scrambled up, picking up his peach. Daisuke then pointed to the sky.
"When I'm god, I'm going to have all the bitches!"
"You're such a thot..." Noriko mumbled, scoffing at his brother's immaturity. "Have you ever heard of the word 'commitment'?"
Daisuke glanced at Noriko. "What a /stupid/ word."
Daisuke then smirked. "What about you, Noriko? You're handsome, why don't I see any of your girlfriends?"
"Simple. My standards are high." He then pushed Daisuke playfully. "Unlike you."
He only chuckled in response.
There was a silence between the two, but a small bark interrupted it. Daisuke's eyes grew wide as a fluffy, wolf-like pup bumbled up the hill.
"Spade, my little baby girl!" Daisuke cooed, reaching his arms out to the puppy.
Spade yapped, tumbling towards him with little puppy legs. Scooping her up in his arms, Daisuke cradled and snuggled her.
Noriko continued to watch him. He never understood why his brother loved dogs so much, cats were far superior. But, as long as Daisuke was happy.
With that, he turned his gaze back to the sky; it was smeared with light purples and rosy reds.
"Why do you think you'll be God?" Noriko suddenly asked.
Daisuke shrugged, kissing Spade's head; she licked his nose.
"Don't worry about it Noriko. You'll /always/ be an important part of my world, if I'm god or not."
Noriko smiled at his brother's kind words. "I know Daisuke, it'll always be like this."
Daisuke nodded, leaning against him.
"Yeah, always."
***
Daisuke had the young girl pinned to the ground, her red eyes wide and full of fear. They were one of the same; black hair, red eyes, the same Asian features.
Kira... That was her name...
He shook his head. He was this far, and /she/ said to do it. And a sickening part of him wanted this.
She cried for him to stop as he pulled off her skirt, but he clamped his hand over her mouth. His brother's words echoed in his head, but his nieces screams would soon drain them out.
