❝Watch out, behind you!❞ Reina screamed as the girls who were trailing behind moved to the side, avoiding the attack of the hand demon from grabbing onto them but the impact was powerful and strong, enough to blow them away from the ground and crashed against onto the trees nearby, harshly.

She was prepared to use her body to soften the crash but she couldn't as she was suddenly turn to face the other way, arms wrapped around her as a loud thud was heard along with a groan causing her to panicked, releasing herself from his arms as she turn to checked on the male ❝Sabito, are you okay?! Why did you-❞

❝A real man would never let a woman been harm whether she's strong or weak...❞ Finally, he look up at her, gray orbs meeting pale blue ones ❝A real man will never back down from protecting what's precious to him...❞ With that, he smile in relief.

She couldn't move, all of her movements were put into a pause, feeling her body temperature heating up as she felt her heart beating rapidly, heartbeat echoed through her eyes and she could swore her face was beet red right ❛What is this...?❜ She thought, confused were all over her face.

That's your heart.

❛My heart...What's that?❜

Dear Lord, don't tell me you've been living under a rock this whole time?

❛Uhh... No?❜

Do I really have to explain this? Geez you're hopeless as hell...

❛But It's not my faults though...❜

Fine...The heart is just a strong muscle that functions to pump blood all over the body. The heart has nerves that mainly sense pain, and changes in rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. We have an old brain or reptilian brain responsible for survival. We have an intermediate or limbic brain responsible for emotions and love. We have a new or neocortex brain responsible for conscious decisions and at will actions. Love is perceived by the intermediate or limbic brain. When we see the beloved, the intermediate or limbic brain releases chemicals that causes the heart to beat faster and stronger. The heart is the servant of the master, the brain and the heart is also the core for demons like us.

❛... Uh I still don't understand?❜

What?! That's it, I'm out of here!

❛Wait... I'm sorry...!❜

No response, signaling that the voice had leave the area. Reina couldn't understand what made him so mad, hearing the tiny tympanic heartbeat from the ultrasound wand was the only outward sign that a new life had begun within her. Placing her hands on her chest where the core was located, feeling the vibes of the pounding heart against her chest, mumbling to herself in a soft tone shyly ❝Calm down heart...❞

❝Did you say something?❞ Sabito asked, worried when he saw her red face.

❝N-No!❞ She exclaimed, turning her body away from him, embarrassed.

❝Uhh.. I'm sorry to interrupted your moments but there's a demon right behind us!❞ The girl with the ponytail shouted causing the brunette's body temperature to explode as she cries out ❝I-I-It wasn't what you think it is!❞

She couldn't handle the large amount of attention on her, the embarrassment was clear to tell through her awkward behavior causing her to grabs all three of them on her shoulders, catching them by surprise as the demon's hands reach out from all around them, her heart beat in her chest, pounding, banging, trying to get out.

She ran forward, every second barley escaping death, she felt as though her blood were on fire. Her limbs were moving on their own. She was disconnected from everything but the ever present sound of her drumming heaThe adrenaline floods her system like it's on an intravenous drip, right into her blood at full pelt. She thought her heart will explode and her eyes are wide, letting in every ounce of the fading light as she ran.

Reina always wonder of the perspective of the chaser, if they can fathom the fear of the chased. For in this need to escape her head and heart go to the place that is crushed and without light or match to bring a comforting spark. She feel the screaming of her lungs and the will of her muscles to go far beyond what exercise could ever demand. This is the body and brain if full survival mode and it is nothing but pain. The pain of her exhausted limbs from running so much almost want to drop down underneath her.

❛Endure the pain! Endure it! Endure it! Endure it! Ignore the pain! Ignore it! Ignore it! Ignore it! You mustn't give up now!❜ Her mind screamed at the intense sensation spread through her body.

Flipping through the pages, pale blue eyes scanned each words, slightly glowing in the dark as she stopped at a page with the title of 'FATE' in bold, reading the first line of the page with her finger pressed against the piece of paper ❝Demons and Gods are the same...?❞

Confused by the sentence, she continued.

Demons represent evil and destruction while Gods represent good and protection to humans but if one of those races goes against the laws will suffers. Those laws were meant to balance the good and evil from collapsing if the evil fall, the good will be weakened and if the good fall, the evil will vanished. The human world won't be the same way as it was before.

In order to prevent the evil from entering the human world, humans must follow the laws and believe in their gods' powers because a holy heart is strong enough to prevent the demons from possessing their bodies, keeping them away from the human from falling to the wrong path and to prevent their heart from turning black.

A god isn't allowed to use violence against humans.

A demon isn't allowed to rewrite a human's fate.

The string of life is not meant to be interrupted.

If one of those supreme being end up breaking one of the laws...

For a god, it's a strict punishment, the scars as a reminder of their wrong doings.

For a demon, their whole body will suffers, burning on the inside till they go berserk.

❛Rewriting their fate... ❜ Pale blue eyes glanced over the three young demon slayers, their hair were moving back and forth due to the strong wind blowing through their hair as they were being carried away from the demon chasing behind them.

❝Cover your mouths if you don't want dust getting inside your throats!❞ She ordered, turning her eyes back towards the road, whispering ❝Even if my body feel like it's  burning in a furious fire, I wouldn't allow any of my comrades to face a tragic death...!❞
