The fight.
The bell ran over the door to the pub named Bootleg, as a hooded character entered the room. The bartender for this day, being Shinji Weber looked up as the stranger entered the place, and he smiled. They were having a lot of strangers today.
"What can I get you stranger? A drink? A place to sit. I recommend eating the newest addition. A fish recipe our...".
"I am not here to eat" the stranger interrupted and were holding a picture up in front of the bartender "Have you seen this person?".
Shinji hummed as he pointed in the room at the corner. The stranger thanked him, as he walked past him and over to the first stranger they had been having today. Shinji chuckled. Crow would be so jealous when he came back to work. It was going to be an eventful day for sure today.
"Shay".
That was the first thing the blue haired boy with green bangs heard, before he quelled the drink before him. Then he tsked as he glared down the stranger in the hoodie and cloak. Even with hoodie his red spiky hair stood up like crazy.
"Allen" He quirked annoyed "What are you doing here? How did you find me?".
"This is the fifth pub I have been in" Allen replied as he tossed his hood and sat down on the chair in front at the other side of the table "Saya and I are worried about you".
"Because I go to a pub to drink?" Shay snort in a cold tone "We are exorcists. Or apprentices. Not God damn saints Allen".
"Of course not. You can drink as much as you like. Especially, since this is alcohol free. You ordered a coke, didn't you?" Allen replied as he smirked.
"So, what if I did? It is a free country. You can't lecture me about what to drink" Shay snort out as he bailed half of the coke away.
"Of course not, but I believe I can lecture you about heartbreaks" Allen said as he waved at the waiter to bring him the exact same drink Shay was drinking.
"Heartbreak? I don't know what you are talking about" Shay snort back as reply.
"Then explain to me why you left the order so suddenly. Or better yet why you chose this pub particularly . It is known to be famous place for demons to hang out" Allen said. All which made Shay shut up. He didn't need to explain himself here. For that reason, Allen soon continued "You were waiting for Yuto to show up, weren't you?".
"Don't be ridiculous. I don't want anything to do with that traitor!" Shay hissed angrily "That... that demon can rot in hell for all I care!".
"Hmm really?" Allen said and were holding the drink the waiter had just brought him in his hands now "Then why are you ordering a coke, who is spiced up with hmm chilly and are having lavender petals in it. Admit it, you ordered a drink that resembles Yuto's hair color. You are so into him Shay".
"I am not into anybody!" Shay sneered rather defensively "We were nothing! Nothing I tell you! And even if there were, He is a demon Allen! He used his charm to get closer to me and the order. He put a spell on me Allen!".
"Aha? You really believe that? You believe Yuto's friendship with all of us is because of a demonic spell?" Allen questioned and sighed deeply. "Well if that is true, it should have lifted already. We should already have forgotten about him and moved on. Especially you Shay. Instead I find you sit at a pub drinking your sorrows away in a coke, that resemble your lover. Do I need to spell it out further?".
"But I... He is a demon Allen!" Shay ended up replying with.
"Half a human. Rumors are already spreading Shay. Especially since he left the order after killing the Doktor" Allen corrected and drank from his glass "I have a feeling he knew he would be expelled and left before that could happen. None of us managed to say goodbye to him. So, what are you going to do with this info Shay? Are you tracking down Yuto before he disappears to the underworld for good or are you giving up on him?". Shay growled annoyed for a second, before he caved and sat down his glass at the table with a soft clank.
"I... I don't know. I used to think there was something between us, but then he began avoiding me, and refused to spill his troubles" Shay finally admitted "When it was revealed that he is the son of the demon king, I just... felt hurt and betrayed. He didn't confide in me and that hurt more than the secrecy...".
"Well see this from Yuto's perspective. He fell in love with you too you know. He knew of your troubled past with losing your sister to a demon. I believe he was scared of telling you because he didn't want to lose you" Allen said and shrugged "The question is are you giving him and his demon side a place in your heart Shay?".
Shay took in a deep breath as these particular thoughts entered his mind. Was he still in love with Yuto? Even after it was revealed he was a demon? Was he willing to risk letting him inside his heart? The answer was easy really because...
"You... You... got to...help me!" a girl's voice squealed loudly as this familiar girl entered the pub. She looked like she was about to pass out, and Shay and Allen had instantly rushed to the girl's side, as she tottered around in the pub, and tried to catch her breath "Declan is... Crow! I need to see Crow... and... Sorano". Then she fell forward and were about to crazy to the ground, hadn't Allen caught her.
"You... you are...." The girl tried saying. Her blue eyes meet both of theirs.
"Miss Gili?" Allen asked worriedly "What happened? You look Exhausted...".
"I... I" She tried as she suddenly locked eyes with Shay. "Declan is... and Yuto appeared and... He is in trouble. He took on... the demons". That was all Shay needed before he left the pub with a quick pace.
Earlier with Yuto.
Yuto eyes followed the blue haired girl, as she left the scene as he and Declan had instructed. It had been last call anyway since Declan's barrier broke and he reverted back to his human form. He did look like he was a great deal of pain. Yuto was not sure how to he saw this scene as. His father had never forced him or any of his brothers in this way. With their true name. Yuto knew his own. It was engraved in his soul by birth, but never ever been used as a weapon the way Leo did to Declan now.
"I told you Declan, we are going home weather you want to or not!" Leo hissed.
"And I refuse!" Declan hissed fiercely. Yuto was amazed he could stand. He had turned from healthy to almost sickly pale now. "Rip my soul and body to pieces. I don't care. I would rather die than leave Gili".
"Don't do this to me Declan. Giving you a new body for your soul takes too long. Time is up the essence. Don't you understand...".
Yuto was sure he was about to say something else but had stopped up the moment he noticed Yuto. It was like he had first now realized he was here. The other demons had, but they were too scared to engage, unless Leo gave the order. That was the reason Gili escaped in the first place.
"Prince Yuto, what are you doing here?" Leo then asked fiercely "This is a personal matter for the pride clan. You have no business here. Or are you here because you are friends with my son now? I know you kept yourself hidden at the Order....".
"Let me stop you there, before you insult me further" Yuto hissed "I am not here to stop you or from taking your son away from you. I do have the pride as a true demon, and I couldn't care less what goes on in your clan. That said, the girl, your men intend to harm, I owe her a favor. Pursuit her, and you will regret it".
"Oh, I believe you are the one regretting it my prince" Leo said and smirked evilly "There is a certain prize on your head. Sure, your father wants you alive, but then again your brother, the crown prince, wants you dead".
Leo flicked with his wrist. Two demons rushed over and grabbed an extremely weakened and fighting Declan and pulled him through the portal Leo had just created. Leo turned towards it as well, but at the last minute, he looked over at his men and said, "Kill him".
Then hell was loose. Because the former scared demons, could not disobey the leader of their clan, and therefore attacked him. Yuto sneered annoyed as he began gradually to change into his dragon form. His claws hit opponent after opponent. His tail slammed a demon to the ground, and his wings sprouted out from his back. Soon he was in the air, fighting the flying demons, as they tried to overwhelm him. Normally that would not even be a problem from him. He was the almighty Yuto Haouryu. But even the mightiest fall when they never gain any energy at all. He had been in the human world for months now, saving his strength as he wandered around in his human form at the order. However, his recent battle with Declan and the Doktor left him now with barely any energy. He could after all, not gain it at the order, or his cover had been blown. He had been in search of a feeding when he came upon Declan's demon signature and decided to pay his debt to Gili back. Maybe he should have been smart about this and not get involved, but that was not how he rolled. Especially, since Gili had saved Shay. If she died here, he could never repay her. With a loud smack from a demon's fist, Yuto was send flying to the ground with a loud Bam that forced him to reverse him back to his human form. He was of course swarmed by the other demons pretty quick. The only consolation from this battle was that he had taken more than half of their members down with him. He closed his eyes and waited for the deathblow.
"What the hell Yuto? Why are you just lying there?" a familiar voice then suddenly shouted and screams of pure agony could be heard throughout the lines of demons.
"Shay?!" Yuto questioned as his former friend were suddenly in front of him, leaving a pile of dead demons in his wake. "What are you doing...?".
"Less talk, more fighting" Shay sneered as he was holding his sword in his hands.
Amazingly a sword that still worked considering that they have dealt with the Doktor and the demon swords he created from the captured demons. However, as Declan explained to him at the lap, rise falcon had taken a shine to Shay and let him use the sword from his claw, before going back to the demon realm. Shay was just not aware of that just yet. Shay were holding a hand towards him as he managed to get up on his feet again. That's right. I can still fight in my human form.
"Ready partner?" Shay questioned and lifted his sword to strike.
"Ready" Yuto replied firmly as he drew his own sword. It was time to battle.
Time skip.
"So, you are in reality a dragon when being demon?" Shay questioned in disbelief "But you run out of energy. That was why you were weak in battle?".
"Yeah I was going to Bootleg for a feeding, when Gili were in trouble" Yuto replied rather stunned.
He couldn't believe Shay were accepting everything he had just told him this quick. He thought he hated him. And he had literally told him everything that happened and why he entered the order. Not that he wasn't grateful for him being here and saving him. He turned his gaze to the pile of demons in front of them now. They had clearly done a number on these. That was for sure.
"Well if that is the case. Let's get going. I am sure Allen is waiting for me anyway" Shay said as he was holding out his knuckle and expected Yuto to hit it.
He of course did just that. That was just something they did after carrying out a good job. Then a sucker punch hit his gut and made Yuto groan out in pain. He even stumbled forward for a bit but were still conscious. With a tight grip from Shay he was even tossed over his shoulder, as cattle almost, before Shay began walking towards the pub.
"What the heck? Shay! Put me down! Put me down this instance!" Yuto hissed angrily, which only made Shay chuckle darkly.
"Nope, your highness. This is payback for knocking me out in that battle with Declan, and your punishment for keeping secrets from me. Deal with it!" Shay responded and Yuto in the end had to sigh in defeat.
A,N: Lol. Shay is in for this later I am sure. He is lucky Yuto can't transform lol. But overall, I do find this chapter cute, even though it was not one of the main couples, and my first attempt in writing a yaoi couple. Hope I did a fine job. Yuto repaid Gili back and she is at Bootleg at the moment. Hmm Just hope she is going to be safe. As for Declan, I really don't think he is. But you will see soon in the future chapters. But what do you readers think? Are things to your liking? I do have lack of ideas for the next couple of chapters when they enter the demon realm later in the story. So, suggestions are preferred. If you have any wishes, I might fulfil it.
