Freed heart

**1700 words, I'm sleepy, so tell me if you have mistakes.**

.....

Baraqiel was sitting on a table in the temporary nest and in front were Akeno with Suzetsu.

Baraqiel is a rough middle-aged man with black hair and beard, and he has good muscles all over his body. Before arriving at the place he had shaved and cut his long hair that made him look like a beggar, then he had combed his hair properly and put on a suit that made him look quite formal.

Suzu had wanted to get out of place along with Azazel's group that had left a while ago, but Akeno hugged him to sit with her. Suzetsu was not with the indifferent attitude that he maintains most of the time, he felt a little nervousness, something unusual in him.

He wondered curiously what the feeling was due to. He put his thoughts aside and simply looked at him as he nodded inwardly, the man is seen with great strength and tenacious attitude. Possibly like Azazel.

"Akeno, I want to talk to you"

"Don't talk to me so casually" - she answered with a certain coldness.

Suzu was a bit uncomfortable, he was wondering how he should participate in this conversation, but he decided to just be a listener.

"You are so young and you are living alone with this brat"

"What right do you have to say something about this ?!"

"Like your father ..."

But Akeno didn't let him continue. "THEN WHY DID YOU NOT COME IN THAT TIME ?! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LET MOM DIE !! "

"...". Baraqiel was silent and lowered his head as his eyes gradually blurred.

Akeno pointed at Suzu as she yelled at the man. "I need him now, so disappears from my sight! … YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER !!"

After her words, Baraqiel simply rose from his seat silently as he left. Akeno trembled as she cried nonstop.

"Akeno ..."

"Don't say anything Suzu ... just let me be like this for a moment"

So Suzetsu just hugged her lovingly as he let her release everything that was contained in him until she finally fell asleep.

At night…

Suzetsu was on the bed, waiting like always to sleep next to Akeno. Near his nest, there was a river where they washed before sleeping, at this moment Suzu was waiting for her, after all, he wanted to see how she was.

'Ufff this is a bit weird, I have shared with other women before, but now I feel different when I share at night with Akeno, sigh… I guess this is what Venelana used to tell me, the so-called puberty. It's not so easy to control myself. But the main thing now is to guarantee her health. '- Suzu thought while he had a silly smile. Puberty is the time in life when a boy or girl becomes sexually mature and causes physical changes and affects boys and girls differently. Suzu with almost 11 years and his rapid development, was inevitable.

Not only that, but he felt a special affection for Akeno, something similar with the women in the house, Youkai, etc. He was also aware that, Himejima had already occupied an important place in his heart, and he was even greater in her due to her particular situation, something that would not change despite spending years. He put his thoughts aside when he felt her approach.

"Akeno?" - Suzu said when he saw her with a face that reflects great sadness.

"I want to tell you about me and that man, Baraqiel. My mother, Himejima Shuri, was a priestess born and raised in a Shinto temple. One day she met a fallen angel officer severely wounded by the battle and he fell in love with her. "

After sighing, she continued. "And then, I was born. My mother and I were expelled from the Himejima family because of that, but we started a quiet life together with that fallen angel but those days did not hesitate long. My black wings were detested and isolated me from others. And finally, they tried to exterminate my existence ". Akeno started crying as she remembered her mother and takes a deep breath to try to control herself.

"My mother protected me, her young daughter, at the cost of her life… after that, I spent my days running from the hunters. My mind was broken and I only wanted to commit suicide, but memories of my mother prevented me from doing that. Everything was hell ... until I met you Suzu "

"Akeno, I ..." - he wanted to speak but was interrupted. He had already known part of her story, but he never addressed these details, he would simply let her be the one to open up.

"I wanted to tell you about my past and leave it all behind… but I can't! There is no way I can call the man who abandoned us father! ... that's why I ... wants you to help me forget "

After her words she pushed Suzu down on the bed, Akeno sat on his hips and took off her top revealing her perfect and large but still growing breasts. She then used Suzetsu's hand as she placed it on her left breast.

"Do you feel my heart? I want you to help me Suzu, I love you Suzu! You are the light of my life, my beacon on the horizon ... The smile is mine, but the reason is you "- Akeno leaned down and began awkwardly kissing Suzetsu while hugging him tightly.

"Enough Akeno ... hmm calm down" - Suzetsu was getting carried away by passion, but he also knew that it was not the best time, after all, Akeno was strongly affected psychologically.

"Hmm no, I want to" - Akeno kept insisting. She only stopped when Suzu forced her up.

"ENOUGH!" - Suzu yelled making her tremble. He had never yelled at her.

"... I" - Akeno started to cry as Suzu hugged her lovingly and patted her on the back.

Suzu spoke softly to her as he lifted her chin. "I cannot correspond with you if you are in this state. Come, let's relax for a while ".

At night, the two hugging lying in the temporary nest, although there were some cold crows outside from time to time, the two warming up did not feel the slightest chill. Suzu held her while he stroked her hair. Akeno simply hugged him while she rested his head on the young man's chest. They spent an hour in comfortable silence until the words appeared.

"You still know little about me Akeno"

She looked at him sweetly as she circled her finger on his chest. "I don't need too much"

"Do you remember that I told you that my birth is a bit special?"

"Aham." she looked at him with a hint of curiosity and nodded.

"The truth is that I don't have parents, I never had them, at least as it is normally understood. I was born as a product of elements of different nature "

"...". She got up as she looked at him with a bit of disbelief.

"Hehe I didn't know it until a few years ago and you are the first person I tell it to"

"Suzu, I don't ..."

"I thought I would never tell anyone, maybe only several years later. But I'm telling you because I think you have great luck "

"..."

"I came across a glorious family of demons, but I always felt like I didn't fit in. Basically, the whole house ignored me, and I wasn't too interested in contacting them either. But the girls filled me with life "

Akeno lay on top of Suzetsu as she leaned on his neck and caressed him so that he could feel her warmth. His words moved her and she wondered what those women who gave him so much love would be like.

" I tell you this because I saw in your father's eyes the same loving eyes of those women I love, there was also guilt, sadness, longing, hope. My eyesight is quite particular so it is easy for me to know the veracity. In addition, when he left this house, his tears flowed like a current in a river, is strong but inside he was dying. I did not have parents, but I will not deny that I would have liked to know that feeling. Your mother loved you, your father is still alive. I'm not telling you to forgive him, but maybe you should listen to what he has to say and calm your heart ... "

Akeno was crying as she listened to part of Suzu's life and after a while, she reflected on his words as she recalled her childhood.

….

She remembered when her father was showering her and he showed her his fallen angel wings. She got excited as she touched them in fascination.

She remembered when she asked her mother if her father loved her and she answered her with a bright smile as she played with her hair.

She remembered when her father defended her when she was bullied.

She remembered when her mother passed away in her arms and that her father came before her as he wept with his heart torn. Then she would scold him furiously to drive him away by blaming him and telling him that she hated her black wings ...

...

Finally, Akeno felt her heart open when she finished crying and she hugged Suzetsu tightly.

"I knew it wasn't my father's fault, but I couldn't help not saying it. I am weak that is why I am always alone… I wanted to see my father more! I wanted my father to stroke my head more! I wanted to play more with my father! … I wanted… I wanted to live more with my father and mother!

"Akeno…". he said softly to Akeno in his arms.

"Thank you ... honey, I know what to do now." She changed the way she called him and gave him a soft kiss on his lips.
