"You've changed." The man remarked. "You're not the old Akira."

"Uncle. Be careful." Akira warned him.

"I'll be alright. God will watch over me."

You were a little stunned to hear that. All this time in the human realm and no one had really mentioned that kind of belief to you. You almost wanted to cry. You wished God watched over you, even if you hadn't believed in a single god during your human life. Instead, you got Satan. Just your luck.

Akira smelled this feeling of despair and pulled you into his chest. Rubbing your back, he just held you closely, vowing to protect you at any cost.

Meanwhile, Ryo was at home looking at baby pictures and watching the news. Everyone had the news on. Another token of a society teetering into collapse.

"Breaking news. The president of the United States just declared a state of national emergency. The Department of National Defense closed borders in the wake of suspicions that the demons are a Russian bioweapon."

You laughed as Akira held you in his lap on the couch next to the group of guys who were taking shelter at Miki's house. Everyone looked at you like you had just declared your demon-ship.

"I, uh, I laugh when I'm nervous." You made-up sheepishly as Akira kissed your neck. He was really trying to get you in the mood, but at the same time the news seemed pretty important.

"The Seventh Fleet has been dispatched and orders are underway to deploy all NATO forces."

Your phone buzzed.

Onii-san </3: It's starting. Stay safe.

You ignored him and went back to cuddling Akira. Little did you know, he was serious.

"Look at this. It's an image taken from the satellite track." The reported showed an image of one quarter of the Earth engulfed in a divine, white light on the opposite side of the Earth from you. "The light's diameter is more than 10,000 kilometers and at present..."

He droned on, but you had lost your interest. Instead, something very peculiar was happening in Akira's mind.

If this is it... If God's wiping out all the demons... I want to spend my last moments with her. With YN. But I made a promise... I promised to protect Miki... And Miki's just a human, so she needs me more. Fuck... What do I do?

"We'll be back Miki, I just want to get YN set up in my room." Akira abruptly stood up, holding you closely. He was going to get in some time alone with you before he devoted himself to protecting the human most dear to him. Maybe he wouldn't pursue Miki, but he had always loved her. He loved you too, of course, but in his mind you were more capable of protecting yourself.

And he was right. You were probably one of the last organisms that would perish in a war between Satan and God. Ryo, "Onii-san", Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Belial, the Devil, Iblis, Hades... He was coming for you, whether or not you were ready for him.

In the meantime, you were going to "get set up" in Akira's room. And you would definitely make the most out of it.
