Yuya was literally staring in horror as Iggy Arlo crashed through the roof of their family hut. His angry expression was contained into a grimacing sneer as his eyes locked with Yuya's.

"I finally found you Yuya!" he then shouted and went into his well-known battle stand "This time you will not escape me! I want My rematch". At that Yuya gulped. He couldn't help it. Iggy had been following him around since... Yuya had forgotten when. He forced him to lock himself into the palace because of it. Now that he was in his father's magical hut, he had thought Iggy couldn't find him. He was clearly mistaken. Yuto and the others however were ready to battle though. Or almost all were. Gili Sakaki were still out cold after her prediction or whatever in one of the chambers with Sorano, but the rest of them were ready to battle. Yuya could still not believe he was having the power of Harmonics, or a piece of it, and it freaked him out to no end. Why would it not, when he still had no clue on what this power really was. Sure, Yuto explained some to him, but that made him even more scary and wary that before. Especially, since he now knew the reason for Iggy's weird behavior. Was this really his fault? And if so, what if he did that to others too? What if he changed his brothers or his friends too? That thought frightened him to no end.

"Iggy Arlo stand down!" Yuto hissed commanding and walked forward "As the second prince of the royal family I order you to...". A loud smack could be heard as Iggy had rushed forward and slammed a fist into his brother's stomach and sent him flying to the other end of the room without any warning.

"Yuto!" he could hear this boy Shay Yuto had introduced shouted and rushed over to his side with fast steps. "What do you think you are doing? You cannot fight. You told me you were out of demonic energy". At that Yuya's eyes widened. Yuto can't transform? Why didn't he tell me? I could have shared some with him. Yuya hissed inside. He already knew why. Yuto was just too proud. It was not the first he refused to eat from a human or demon soul. Last time he had collapsed because of it and their father had to patch him up himself. Sure, the demon realm was holding the right amount of energies to make a demon recharge, but the process was extremely slow. That was the reason they had the deals with humans in the first place. That and Yuto had no Satan soul to eat from himself. He was always boring fathers. '

"Stay away from our Master!" Yuya could then hear his gazer's say as time gazer and star gazer were now standing in front of him as projection, Yuya's eyes widened. He had been so caught up in his thoughts that he had not realized Iggy had advanced further towards him. The envy demon hissed in an angry fit.

"Stop interfering! I have waited long enough for this!" Iggy hissed and were about to strike the magicians when Yuya had enough.

"Stop! Stand down all of you!" he shouted which had an instant effect on all three of them. Both Gazer's had of course kneeled down since that was what he wished of them, but interestingly enough Iggy were listening too. Or listening might be a big word, but he had stopped fighting at least. Instead, he was stating at Yuya like he was his whole world and it made Yuya gulp a little. This power Yuto spoke off, clearly had influenced him. Just as Gili and Yuto said he would, and it left a bile taste in Yuya's mouth. He wanted people to be happy, but not like this.

"Are you finally going to fight me Yuya or are you running away like usual?" Iggy then hissed rather demanding.

"I... I... just give me a second!" Yuya responded back and just like before it was like Iggy listened because he didn't do anything. He just stood there.

"Iggy Arlo!" Yuya could then hear Yuto sneer as his brother finally were up on his feet amend, he was using Shay as a crutch "You dare hurt one of the royal family" It will cost you dearly. How the heck did you even find us. This place is untraceable". Silence uttered around them now. Iggy was not saying a word. It was like he didn't see him at all. He only had eyes for Yuya.

"Yuto were asking you a question!" Shay also hissed at him. Still nothing.

"Please answer my brother!" Yuya hissed. He wanted to know this as well.

"Of course. Prince Yuri told me about this location and at some point, I caught your trail Yuya" Iggy responded dutifully "Will you battle me now?".

"Yuri did?" Yuya questioned in disbelief "Why would he? He knows how much I want to be free from you...".

"I am one of his warriors now. That was the only way I could get near you" Iggy replied "I should stop the ones who wanted to interrupt the rebellion and free Declan Akaba from his grasp. That is my mission. In return I was promised you Yuya".

"Yeah, and that is pure demonic lies on Yuri's part!" Yuto hissed "Even if Yuri had indeed created this deal with you, he would not keep his end of the bargain. He would never sell Yuya over to you. He is using you Iggy".

"It does not matter because I am not upholding my end of the bargain either" Iggy said and for the first time looked at Yuto "All I want is a rematch with Yuya. Nothing more, nothing less. I will strike everyone who comes in between".

"Talk about single minded" Yuto snort out "Do you really think...".

"Don't engage him!" they could hear Sorano then shout as he entered the living room carrying Gili in his arms "In your condition none of you can stand up to his strength. Iggy might not seem like it, but he is strong. Strong and fast. In human form none of us stands a chance".

"So, we are just letting him have my brother?! Are you insane?!" Yuto hissed annoyed "I am not leaving this wacko with Yuya...".

"We might have to" Sorano mused "Think of what Iggy represents. If the heir of the envy clan sold himself to Yuri, that means his clan has as well. Can't you sense it? The air is filled with demonic scents coming our way".

"That son of a... Yuri you manipulative shit. You didn't care about Iggy and his obsession with Yuya. You just wanted the envy clan to support you in the rebellion against father! I will kill him!" Yuto sneered.

"Is that true Iggy? Is your clan on their way here?" Yuya questioned worriedly.

"Of course, but do not worry, we have instructions not to kill. Yuri has his own plans with you all" Iggy promised "Besides, my clan is not the one you need to worry about. Yuri is sending all his soldiers after you. It is part of his own game. Something with a deal he struck with Declan Akaba".

"Deal? What deal?" Sorano questioned quickly, but just like before with Yuto Iggy didn't answer him, so Yuya had to ask for him.

"If any of you manage to get to Declan Akaba and free him, you are all free to go and can leave the demon realm unchartered. However, if Gili Sakaki is captured and presented to him, Declan Akaba will give in to him and become his servant".

"He will what?!" Sorano uttered horrified "Why would Declan even agree to such a bet? That is terrible odds. If he gives in, the whole pride clan will be his too".

"Prince Yuri will not participate in his own game" Iggy replied slowly "By that your odds of succeeding will go up tremendously. That said, he acquired the heir to the sloth clan recently, so if I were you, I would scramble. If you do, I can finally have my battle with Yuya".

"The heir to... the sloth clan?" Sorano then uttered. He was pale as a ghost now. "Not him! Anything but him. We got to now!".

"What are you talking about. We can't leave Yuya here!" Yuto shouted angrily when Sorano began dragging him along with him. He was fighting like hell.

"You can't transform, and a horde of Demons are coming Yuto. Think reasonable about this!" Sorano sneered back "Especially since he is coming. I might be able to match him in strength, but not if I have to protect all of you as well against the envy clan. Besides, your brother isn't weak. He defeated Iggy before".

"He is right Yuto. Just go. Right now, you are weaker than I am" Yuya pointed out "Besides, I am not seen as a part of your little rebellion anyway. The clans won't target me. Trust me, I will be fine. I have my gazers here if anything should happen".

"But, but..." That was all Yuto managed to say before he was pulled away by both Sorano and Shay this time. Yuya looked after them before turning his attention towards Iggy who were cracking his knuckles.

"Let's fight Yuya!" Iggy then shouted.

Time skip.

The battle went well. Yuya, in his odd eyes dragon form dominated the battle pretty fast. His speed was outshining Iggy's. Even when Iggy powered up to his demon form, which was barely any difference that his human form besides the tattoo's that emerged on his skin with long claws. That was the known transformation by the envy clan. Instead of transforming, they instead swallowed their own demonic form and transformed it into strength. It was given the name 'the envy clan's curse'. That was the reason why Iggy was already so strong in his human form. However, even so, with the tattoo's and all, Yuya was superior. Just as he was in their first match. Iggy did manage to get in some hits. He wasn't completely useless, but Yuya's dragon form was one of a kind. Sure, he couldn't fly like his brothers, but he could alter his dragon's body at will. Like his piercing saber form. Or beast form or magician form. For that reason, Iggy soon found himself lying on his back on the grassy ground. Yuya didn't want to fight inside his beloved family hut, but outside was a different matter. Soon, the sharp edge of the dragon claw at his neck.

"Give up?" Yuya questioned "Or do I really have to kill you Iggy?".

"Grr why can't I win against you Yuya!" Iggy sneered as he pushed the claw away from himself "Is it because you are from the royal family? Is that it? Or are you getting special training by the king himself? It is not fair!".

"No, it has nothing to do with that. I am just stronger that is all" Yuya lectures and transformed back to his human form "Father says some demons are just stronger than others by birth. It comes down to how much you develop your skills Iggy".

"And you are the son of the dragon king. It gives you an unfair advantage!" Iggy sneered annoyed "I want that! I want that ability! I want that power!".

"Iggy, please stop. You are letting yourself get swallowed up by your own jealousy" Yuya warned worriedly. It was dangerous to act upon the deadly sins too much. Especially, when it was that emotion you were in charge off. Yuya had heard tales of how a demon went on a rampage because they lost themselves to it.

"Like I care. I want what you have! I want... you Yuya!" Iggy uttered and without warning, he had moved so quick Yuya didn't have the time to act upon it. Soon he found himself on the grassy surface, with Iggy sitting on his chest, pinning him down, while at the same time, their lips met in a weird, strangled kiss. Yuya's eyes widened in pure shock as he realized what Iggy was doing and Yuya couldn't keep himself from blushing. That was his first kiss.

"Iggy..." Yuya began as they finally parted ways "You... why did you...?".

"Shut up and let me taste you again" Iggy only responded and their lips once again. Yuya could feel how Iggy's tongue were licking at his lips, but Yuya of course denied him access. That made Iggy growl rather annoyed.

"You can't deny me this Yuya. You just can't!".

"Of course, I can. You can't just kiss me like that without any explanation" Yuya huffed back "Iggy, do you have feelings for me?".

"Why else would I kiss you?" Iggy snort back "I told you I want everything you have. That includes you. Please let me be yours Yuya".

"Iggy this is way too sudden. You can't just expect me to accept that so fast" Yuya exclaimed rather stunned. He couldn't believe this was happening at all. A demon was crushing on him. It was not unheard of. Many were finding him cute, but no one else had even had the cuts to ask him, since he was Zarc's son. Besides, demon mating was extremely complex. Either the demons agreed on mutual dating or it was a test of strength to determine who was in charge of that relationship. Was that what Iggy had been doing by challenging him to battle after battle? To court him.

"Why? Are there anybody else?" Iggy questioned in a cold tone.

"No, I mean yes. No, I mean, I don't know..." Yuya blabbed out rather confused. Sure, he did have had eyes on a female demon from the lust clan, but they were also friends. He never has had the courage to ask her.

"It is fine. You are the odd eyes prince. You can have as many lovers as you want Yuya. Just as long as I am one of them" Iggy then stated which confused Yuya even more "Let me be yours Yuya. I beg you. I will serve you well. I will be whatever you need. Soldier, lover, concubine. You name it. Just let me be near you".

"I... Iggy I am flattered...but..." Yuya shook his head a little. If this had been any normal confession, Yuya might have considered it, but at the same time, the sentence from Yuto were running through his head. Have you influenced anyone recently Yuya? She spoke of dooming a soul. Has anyone been obsessed or were overly friendly with you lately? You might have influenced them without knowing. That alone made him hesitate. Was Iggy even thinking straight? Did he truly love him?

"I cannot accept. Not yet. Not until I know for sure that you aren't influenced by my powers. Also need to talk to my...". Yuya never finished the sentence. He wanted to say family, but in just that moment, pain ran through him. Like jolting electricity. As he looked up at Iggy, he found the demon covered with several tattoos and were having an insane look on his face.

"You dare deny me this Yuya. I want you and your delicious powers. Even if I have to break and defeat you to do so" Iggy then said and sounded utterly insane.

"Iggy... Ahr! What are you... this pain!" Yuya uttered rather confused.

"There is another reason, this form is called our clans curse Yuya" Iggy responded and chuckled darkly "When in contact with the tattoos for too long, the user, me, can take the opponents power as their own. That said, the demon losing them, will be rendered an almost empty shell when the curse is complete. So sorry my Yuya, but don't worry I will not doom you to that kind of faith. You are mine!".

"Iggy, stop this! Are you completely insane?!" Yuya uttered as he struggled to get free. Not that Iggy was letting him. Soon, the pain became almost unbearable. Is this how I will die? Yuto was right. He is obsessed with me. I shouldn't have let them leave me alone with him. I... I... Somebody help!

"Gah!". Iggy let out a painful groan as a demonic claw struck through his stomach all of the sudden. Yuya could feel some arms lift him up in its embrace before he lost consciousness. The whole ordeal had just drained him.
