The first battle.

Kite was glaring at his father or in this case this dragon who was having a tight grip in his foot and caused him to dangle with his head downwards. His eyes did meet his father's however, as the dragon head came in close and its infuriated Kite to no end. Here was the man who had chased him that night. He even took Hart's soul, leaving him in this comatose state at the order. He was the man who made a deal with a demon and thereby became one. No matter how many times Kite thought about it, he could never understand his father's reasonings, but it was clear that the man he knew as his father had long gone. It was eminent in his appearance. Dragon like features as well as skeleton white scales, but the orb on his chest was new. Kite wondered if he had archived more power or just evolved further. That is if demons even could evolve, but Kite guessed it was much like people when they trained. His father must have been working hard to archive this form.

(Here is what he looks like)

"Well long time no see Kite. I didn't think you would be so foolish in joining them" The dragon then spoke, making Kite hiss in an angry tone.

"Hello father. Today is the day I will kill you and get Hart's soul back!". He could hear how the dragon was chuckling darkly now.

"Oho I see you realized the truth. That is very astute of you Kite. It only took you 7 years to figure out" the dragon then mocked "Or have you been distracted by hanging out with this lot. Not really impressive. I thought our foes were more impressive".

"Hey! Don't insult a demon lord! Especially not someone from the wrath clan" Sorano hissed as he growled fiercely. "I will break every bone in your body".

"I am sure you could Sorano Connors, but I am not interested in you" Faker snort "Besides, I have strict orders to let you pass. Especially Yuto and this girl". Kite could see a claw getting pointed at Gili, who scaredy hid behind Sorano.

"Wait what? Yuri is sparing us?!" Yuto questioned in disbelief "That is not like him".

"Oh, don't see it as sparing you. Master Yuri just firmly instructed that you two was not being harmed yet" Faker replied and chuckled darkly "He want to kill you personally I believe. That and your father could be on his way right now. I am sure you don't want him to meet any of you in His world. He doesn't like strangers".

"That does sound more like Yuri" Yuto mused and looked at the others "He might be right. Meeting my father now might be a death wish...".

"But what about Kite?" Saya uttered shocked "We can't just leave him here".

"Let him go you fiend!" Allen yelled furiously.

He had grabbed his sword and attacked the dragon. His sword hit his scaled white body with a loud bam. However, all that earned him was pain, as he suddenly was send flying backwards without any reasonings. Kite hissed furiously as he managed to draw his sword and cut at his father's tail. The dragon let out a furious scream of pain as he let go of kite and...

"Kite!" he could then hear Saya scream as he was falling towards the ground with great speed.

Surprisingly, hands caught him before hitting the ground. How Allen even managed to bounce back this quick, even had Kite raddled, but he got quickly up on his feet, as he brushed of his clothes.

"What are you standing here for? Weren't you on an important mission?" Kite then hissed "I can take care of myself. Get going. Go free that demon before it is too late".

"But Kite..." Shay began at first, but then Yuto grabbed around his wrist and shook his head.

In some way saying that this was something he had to do, and Kite couldn't agree more. Sure, he had volunteered to go to the demon realm, but not for the reasonings in helping Gili or Yuto at all. He wanted his brother's soul back. How could he give up that opportunity when his father was standing in front of him here?

"Alright we will leave" Gili then said slowly. Her eyes were filled with hope now as she spoke "But you dare die on us Kite. Return to us when done".

"I will try" Kite responded. That was all he could say to his savior. Because he had a nagging feeling that this might be his last battle ever, but regardless what he was fighting till the bitter end. After all he was Kite Tenjo.

"Kite I will stay with you and fight" Allen then said in a determined voice as he was holding up his sword, but Kite shook his head at that.

"No! Go protect the new holy mother instead!" Kite sneered and his eyes locked eyes with Saya who also hadn't left "You too Saya. This is my fight".

"But Kite we can help" Saya began when Allen grabbed her hand and dragged away. He was soon all alone with his father.

"You are very foolish Kite. You stood a better chance against me with their help" Faker replied as his draconic face came closer.

Kite could feel the warm air from his nostrils hit him. That was how close he was to him, but Kite stood his ground and didn't move a muscle. He was not afraid of him.

"You should have left with your friends Kite. I even gave you all free passage...".

"No, you wouldn't. You are a demon now. Even if your master told you to spare Yuto and Gili, that doesn't mean you should spare all of us" Kite responded in a surprisingly calm and collected tone. "For some reason you didn't want to face all of us. Either that or you wanted to be alone with me. If we all had left, you would have grabbed one of us and done something to prevent the others from helping. This way I can go out on my own terms father.". The dragon chuckled darkly as he lifted his head and flapped his wings. Not to fly, but to ready himself for battle.

"You have always been smarter than any gave you credit for Kite. I am almost proud to call you my son, but only almost" Faker said and chuckled "But I will grant you the battle you so seek. Soon you will join your brother in oblivion!". And then a heated battle began.

Kite huffed and puffed as he once again landed on the ground. Pain ran through his body like a wildfire and Kite was even amazed he could get up. However, what amazed him even more was that no matter how many attacks he sends his way, it barely did anything, if anything at all. His father always seemed to get out of there unharmed. Instead kite was the one getting hurt instead. But why? His sword did do impact. At some point it even cut deep into the flesh of his tail, leaving a gabbing open wound. However, then things changed. Kite was sent flying instead, with almost the exact same injuries, but instead it was on his body, not his father's.

"What trickery is this?" Kite hissed as he once again got up on his feet. For some weird reason he was getting his father's injuries, while he was the one getting beat up. His father's former injuries were even gone, and he looked as good as new.

"You cannot defeat me alone Kite. It was futile" Faker said, and Kite was sure he could feel sorrow in his voice now "Be a good boy and surrender. I hate to see you suffer like this". At that Kite growled viciously.

"Don't want me to suffer! Cut the crap father. You didn't show Hart or me any mercy last time and I sure as hell don't want's a demon's pity now!" he yelled back.

"Oh, my son, there is so much you don't understand. About demons and your brother Hart. You don't know what truly happened that night and the summoning of my now so-called master" Faker said and sighed deeply.

"Then why don't explain it to me!" Kite hissed "If you truly want to show me any sort of mercy, give me the truth as a goodbye present".

Kite could see the hesitation in the eyes of the dragon now. His father really considered it. Then without any warning he transformed into his human form. The form he knew him as his father. He hadn't aged or changed his looks since the last time he had seen him. The only difference was his clothing. He was dressed in what Kite saw as a butler dress code.

"7 years ago, I made a deal with the demon prince. Just as you expected. However, it was not for the reasons you think Kite. It was not for power or riches. I wanted to save your brother Hart" Faker then explained. Kite's eyes widened at that.

"Save him? you chased us through the land the whole night, and only stopped when you got Hart. You swallowed his soul!" Kite then yelled in pure fury.

"Yes, I did. But that was the only way" Faker replied "You knew Hart was sick. You knew how frantically his body was. As human I could not save him. Believe me I tried. So, I went another way. I did the demon ritual an orange haired boy suggested from town and summoned Him. Master Yuri. He had been waiting for me actually. You see his representative were trailing the human world for desperate souls. That is how the royal family gets hold on contractors. They choose you, not the other way around. I didn't hesitate to make the deal with him though. My life for Hart and he delivered the most brutal way possible. I got transformed into a demon and ordered to take my own son's soul. That was the reason I attacked you that night...".

"You what? But you got tricked! Father you cannot trust a demon's word!" Kite uttered in pure distress. That night was the worst day in his life.

"No Master Yuri kept his word. His human body will never walk, but his soul will" Faker said in a firm tone "Hart is alive Kite. He is reborn in this world. As a demon". Kite were staring in disbelief at his father. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Hart was living in this world as a demon?! He was here! But where? As what?

"I always regretted that decision I did that night" His father continued his story "Chasing you and Hart like that. The life I left you Kite at the order at the age of 11. If I could, I would have changed it. Then we wouldn't be fighting like this". Kite turned his gaze at his father, who were slowly getting closer for some reason.

"But I can at least make up for that now my son. Your suffering will soon end, and you will soon be reunited with your brother".

That was the only warning Kite got before he felt agonizing pain in his gut. Kite's eyes widened in pure horror as he realized he had let his guard down. A dragon claw had struck through his stomach and blood hit the desolated grounds. His own father had attacked him.

"Now we can all be together. Like a real family" his father said before Kite's world turned completely black.

A,N: Well that was the chapter. Intriguing to say the least. Especially the ending lol. I am sure that was not what you were all expecting I am sure; I can promise you Kite will show in another chapter. Just not right away. I can leave you speculating what happens to him and where and what Hart is lol. Love to hear your input on what you readers think. But what do you readers think about the chapter and the story of Faker. I hope it makes sense. Maybe you can guess why Kite couldn't defeat his father and what his weakness is. Everyone has a weakness after all. Thanks for reading. I am signing out. Bye.
