The Shadow Demon's Arrival

The next day Eru woke up to a frustrating new surprise. His new man's body had matured and was standing at attention. 'Fuck my life. How do I deal with this?' he glanced down into her pant. The sight made her shudder a bit. 'A pure virgin me has been tainted..... my stupid self don't forget this is your body now, deal with it,' he peered at it to go away. But I was insistently standing.

"Will a cold shower help? Or do I really have to do the dead.... I don't want to thought," he whined in frustration. Just touching it to pee was different compared to sexually touching it. Eru really didn't want to go there. "Cold shower it," he resolutely said and pulled himself up.

Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door. "Eru?" Deric's muffled voice was heard from the other side.

Eru swiftly hid inside the comfort of his duvet and complexly hid his manhood. 'I hope won't notice,' he thought and shouted, "Come in,"

Deric walked with a huge tray in hand, warm milk, a few toasted bread and scrambled egg neatly arranged on it. "I brought you breakfast," he said with a huge smile.

Eru smirked. 'aww this sweet angel, why does he know me so well,' He leaned up and sat up, half leaning back on the bed board. "That looks scrumptious," he whispered and took it off his hand.

Deric sat down next to the end of the bed and peered at him. "You.... okay? Yesterday you looked like you were sad..."

"Sad? No, I was just confused, but now my heart is clear. I have no confusion in sight that it fears me the most," Eru mumbled with his eyes wide open. The realisation of his feelings for the devil was a huge revaluation to say the last, but it was to be expected. That stupid man had been with him from the moment he was reborn here and in every obstacle he was with him, giving him support.

"Why does it fear you?" Deric softly whispered.

"Because I fear that I would be lost. The real me is getting further and further away," Eru whispered thoughtfully, 'day by day my attachment to this world is increasing. I'm not from this world and I would leave after I get the part of my soul, but what about Rebus, what will happen to him? What would happen to our relationship? Is it doomed to begin with?' he said the untold words in his heart. No one knows 'her, Ambai' secret in this world expect rebus and no one knows his secret other than her.

"Sigh, let's not talk about heavy topics early in the morning, the egg are so tasty though," Eru whispered, chewing loudly.

Deric smirked but when Eru was not looking his smile went away. He peered at the kid eating his heart away and bit his lips. 'Why does it seem like you getting farther and farther away from me, why does it feel like I'm losing a part of myself?' he thought subtly caressing his aching heart.

Suddenly the dark voice he had contained emerged. "That person is yours and yours alone!!! Don't lose them!!! Don't lose to the devil, for I will never forgive you!!!!!" a thunderous voice roared in his mind.

Deric slightly grimaced holding his head. 'Get out of there. You don't belong here, you are not right, no one can be owned, no one should be owned,' he thought, closing his eyes in pain.

Eru who was about to take another bite froze. He slowly crawled further away from Deric. His whole body was immersed in a deep dark shadow once more and the red eyes peered at him dangerously. 'Shit.... the number is back, the shadow demon is back..... it's exactly what Rebus predicted,'

Eru softly gulped. 'He looks to be in pain, should I do something? No, I should not recklessly doo anything, maybe my soul energy can combat that,' the last time this happened Deric golden light soul energy completely abolished the dark shadow demon in his heart.

He let out a breath and concentrated his energy on his hands. The white cloud like surface immediately covered him from head to toe but it was heavily concentrated near his hand. 'I hope it works,'

"Deric?" he whispered softly and touched his schedulers.

Suddenly the dark shadow roared loudly. Startled, Eru crawled back. The soul energy around him was slowly being corroded away by the dark energy. "Shit," he easily patted off the soul energy layer of his skin. Thankfully the white soul energy easily fell apart when he brushed them off, taking the corroded arts along with them.

The parts the black energy that touched turned black, even his white comforter turned back and charred.

Eru peered at the dark shadow laughing at him. "There is darkness in light, goddess, tsk, tsk, tsk, you forgot that," the shadow demon said in a crackling voice.
