"The world belongs to the demons." Koda declared as Akira roared in pain. You sat back, fearing for his life.

"Good job, Koda. Move, we'll finish it off!" Two more demons, Pain and Panic, you thought.

As a burst of energy lit up the world around you, many humans fled or fell victim to it. Unable to bring himself to fight where humans could be hurt, Akira took off. But not before he gave you instructions.

"Go to your brother. He will protect you." He whispered as he took off in a flash.

Gobsmacked by his suggestion, you decided to simply... listen to him. You pulled out your phone and texted Ryo.

YN: Can you come get me? Track my location or whatever.

It only took seconds for Ryo to text you back.

Lucifer: Stay put, my love.

You gave a sad smile, feeling just the slightest bit guilty for not loving him as much as Akira. But how could you? He was just a perfect human being. Or at least, he was something close.

As if the universe was ready to prove your wrong, you received a text message from Akira.

Aki<3: I've got to go save Miki. Stay with Ryo.

Your heart sank. A nasty feeling overcame you as you sat on the top of the pillars around you. You didn't want him to save her. You wanted him to come with you. But that wouldn't happen. Akira's life was protecting those who couldn't protect themselves; crying for those who couldn't.

Your life, on the other hand, had been preserved solely out of greed and lust. What purpose did you serve otherwise? Tears came out of your eyes as you cried for yourself, upset once again.

After only a few minutes, you heard a car approach. Turning your head to see the luxury car, you hopped down. It could only be Lucifer himself.

As he approached you, a frown crossed his face.

"Don't do that." He commanded softly.

"Do what?" You sniffed as you wiped your face.

"Don't cry. You're not him. You don't need to cry." He pulled you close, into his body, "I'm here for you."

His hands stroked down your body comfortingly, eventually pushing you to join him in the car. Transforming back into a human, he eyed you curiously as you both got in the car.

Starting up the vehicle and proceeding on route, he kept looking over at you.

"Yes, Lucifer?" You asked him politely, as you curled up on the seat.

His hand shot out to your stomach and his eyes widened for just a moment.

"I just can't believe it..." He mumbled to himself as he pushed even harder on the gas pedal.

"What?" You looked at him, worried.

"Give me your phone. We're going to go to where it all started. That's where Akira will know to find us."

Hesitantly, you handed over your phone.

"Is there something wrong with my stomach?" You looked at his face, which portrayed no emotion.

He stayed quiet for a long time. Eventually he began to speak, hedging his words.

"No, nothing wrong. Definitely not with your stomach." His nose twitched, a sign only you knew meant he was upset. "Do you think he'll become Amon? Perhaps something will send him over the edge in these trying times."

"You're being kind of peculiar about it. What's different with my abdomen then?"

"Well..."
