Memoirs

Where I am? I feel the grass under my head tickling my ears and the cool breeze hitting my face. I open my eyes slowly and face the sky painted in beautiful sky blue, stretching as far as my field of vision could reach.

I slowly lift my torso and look around me. I see a two-storey house in front of me, made of white wood and with a door of the same color. I look in all directions to get more information about the place. Both my right and my left were equal, a white fence and a well-kept lawn. I don't know why, but that place brought me some comfort and little by little the memories awaken.

"It's... my home... but how?"

I was incredulous at what I was seeing, I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me. Like lightning, I get up and head for the door. I grab the doorknob, but stop moving for fear of what might be behind it. I think I will see the same horrible thing as before, but... it could be my chance to see my family again. Even scared, I open it keeping my eyes closed for fear of the result, I stay there for a few seconds until something makes my spine shake.

- Yuki? - I hear a female voice calling my name, I can't help opening my eyes and seeing a miracle.

When I look at the room, feel my eyes fill with tears. I see my father sitting at the table and reading the newspaper, my mother next to him drinking her coffee and looking at me with some concern, while my brother was lying on the couch watching television. As soon as my eyes see that scene the only resolution that comes to my mind was:

"Thank God, it was all a dream."

- Yuki, is there a problem? - I hear my mother's gentle voice calling me.

- Oh, it's nothing mom, you don't need to worry.. - I say happy while trying to keep the tears in my eyes.

My mother was a beautiful woman. Her face with delicate, fine features, long white hair and bright blue eyes. Her beauty was a reason for envy among mothers. But in addition to his appearance, the kindness and grace of his movements and manner of speech matched those of someone born in royalty.

- Yuki, why do you always sleep in the backyard? - I hear my father's thick voice, who never took his eyes off the newspaper. - If you like being outdoors so much, maybe we can move your room out there.

I have a light laugh at my dad's joke... I hope it was a joke, he seemed a little too serious. My father was the complete opposite of my mother, his features were robust and rigid, his hair was short of strong dark brown black. If my mother was a noble, my father would certainly be a military man.

- Dad, you shouldn't make threats against your own children. - My brother in the background said, with a funny air in his words.

- So you want to share the backyard with your brother, Minato? - Said my father, serious and directing his gaze to my brother, still parked on the sofa.

- I didn't say anything... - My brother replies, trying to appear calm, but inside I was very nervous that this threat will be realized.

My brother was the typical fairy tale prince. He is four years older and in his school days he was the one who got the best grades, the ace of sports and the most popular of the whole school. Distinguishing from his lazy appearance, his spiky white hair, along with his blue eyes have secured several girlfriends and some boyfriends over time. Even with all that, Minato-nii always found time to be with me, he was the brother that everyone would like to have.

- Yuki, dear you better go get ready, we will have visitors today - Says my mother, delicately. - Your uncle Izak will come.

- Uncle Izak is coming!! - I say anxious.

Isak was my uncle on my mother's part, he always brought me something from his travels, so I was looking forward to what it would be this time. Whenever my parents and brother couldn't come home, he stayed with me. My best childhood memories are with him.

Toc Toc Toc Toc

The sound of a door slamming echoes through the room. Almost instantly I turn towards it.

- It must be your uncle. - Said my mother, putting her lips on the cup and taking one last sip. - Yuki, answer the door please.

I nod without saying anything and go to the door, excited to receive Uncle Izak. I put my hand on the doorknob, but in the second I feel the cold metal in my hand, a bad feeling runs through my body. Something bad will happen if I open that door. I walk away, but before I could get back to my family, I hear my mother's voice behind me.

- Yuki, what's the matter? - She says, in a serious voice. I get stuck, I can't say anything to her. - Open that door, dear.

I can't move my lips, I can't even move my body as I want. My arm moves towards the doorknob again, I feel my body disobeying me like a puppet being controlled by some strange and unknown force. I go into despair.

"Stop, please!!"

My hand finally touches doorknob again. I feel my tears slowly trickle from my eyes. As soon as I make the move to open the door, I finally went into despair. I want to scream, ask for help, tell them to run away; but I can't move my lips... I just give up... I close my eyes and am forced to expect the worst... I will have to see that nightmare again.

I open the door and wait. I cringe and start to shake. But... nothing happens... I open my eyes in fear, but I see nothing, only the entrance to my house totally deserted. Sudden relief takes over my soul and my body finally obeys me again. I smile tiredly and turn to my parents.

- Mom, there's no one at the door, they must... huh? - I say turning slowly, but suddenly freeze.

My father, mother and brother were lying in a pool of blood. I can't move, this sight brings me as much dread as a terrible emptiness. A shadow appears behind me, grabs my neck and presses me against the wall. I'm starting to feel short of breath and my strength is slowly leaving, as I watch the killer's face, his cold eyes and his familiar features. I feel anger and frustration overwhelming me.

- Why did you do that? Why?! Why!!!? - I scream, using the rest of the strength I had.

I open my eyes and jump on the bed with speed.

"A dream?"

My whole body was shaking, I don't know whether out of hate or fear. Everything really happened. I sigh with dismay and start to go over everything that happened yesterday: my family and my boyfriend were murdered and now I am at the home of a demon who will help me in my revenge, if I become engaged to him... I'm going to go crazy like that, but what option do I have?

The sunlight hits my eyes. When I see the sun, I stretch out on the blue sheets, but I start to feel extreme pain in my waist. I move my hand up to my ass and realize that I'm naked. I start to wonder why I wasn't dressed, but little by little I feel the memories of last night coming back... I had sex with Alex.

"That idiot crushed my hip yesterday. I know I agreed with everything but he couldn't take it easy?!"

I lift my torso slowly, still grumbling and trying to ignore that pain. I take a closer look at the room I was in, it was twice as big as the one I woke up in yesterday: the navy blue walls... novelty... a double glass door, which opened onto a gigantic balcony, being the only source of In the light of the room, the chandelier in the room was all ornamented in silver, large dark wood wardrobe and two nightstands on both sides of the bed which followed the same style wardrobe. On top of one of them were some folded clothes and a note on them, I reach out and reach for the piece of paper. It had beautiful writing in blue ink. I read curious, with what would be written:

Good morning Yuki, I didn't want to wake you up. You were so cute sleeping, I hope your hips don't hurt...

"What's so funny, you wretch? My hip bones are destroyed because of you and you tell me that, you son of a..."

I keep reading the note, holding so as not to tear it.

...I hope you've slept well. But being straightforward, as soon as you wake up, get dressed and go down to the main lobby, let's discuss my help. A kiss, Alex. ❤❤❤

I am surprised by the last sentence of the note, for the first time he had said something useful. I get up and pick up the two pieces of clothing that were on the nightstand and dress them quickly. One was a long-sleeved robe in light blue and short shorts of the same color. I finish dressing, uncomfortable again with the length of the shorts but I ignore it. Then I go to the door and open it, still a little tired and I'm sure that as soon as I leave the room I will get lost in this gigantic house. When I open the door I see a familiar red hair waiting for me in the hall.

- Good morning Liz. - I say, a little happy to see her... probably due to the fact that I don't have to find myself in those corridors.

- Good morning Yuki-san, did you manage to settle down last night? - Liz says, greeting me, with impeccable politeness and refinement.

- Not very well, thanks to your perverted master... - I say, going straight to the point but I realize that maybe I overreacted. - I mean your master.

- Don't worry, I've heard him being called several different things - Liz says, as if that wasn't the first time. - "Pervert" is almost a quality of his.

- Quality? - I mean, a little incredulous.

- Aff... I understand your skepticism. - She says sighing. - Pain in the ass? - She asks, as if it were something from everyday life.

- Ah... yes, have something? -I ask, a little uncomfortable.

- I see, I'll bring a remedy for your pain there. - Promises Liz, trying to maintain the professionalism of a maid. - But first, my master is waiting for you.

- I know, Alex left me a note. - I inform her.

- Ah... Alex...? Master Alexander? - Question Liz, intrigued.

- Himself, what's the matter, Liz? - I ask, curious about what would have

made the girl react that way.

- Ah... it's nothing, it's just... it's the first time I've heard someone call my master by a nickname. - Says Liz, who looked at me surprised.

- Seriously?! - I say, as surprised as she is with that information.

- Well, we better not keep my master waiting. - Said Liz, trying to change the subject quickly. - Let's go.

- Ah... sure, let's go. - I say, starting to walk with Liz through those corridors.

Along the way, the conversation with Liz doesn't get out of my head.

"What's the matter with the nickname? No big deal, I bet everyone who's had sex with him calls him Alex ... is that what I really care about?... Oh, I almost forget... "

Since yesterday, I had something on my mind that I can no longer hold my curiosity, so I ask Liz:

- So Liz, is it true that Alex is the General of Lust? - I ask, with the absolute certainty that it was just an absurd lie that Alex had created.

- Ah, yes it is the truth. - Liz answers, quickly.

- I knew it was a li... huh... what did you say Liz? - I ask, thinking I heard wrong.

- It is true, Master Alexander is the current General of Lust. - Informs Liz seriously.

I spend a few seconds in silence trying to process that information. Looking stupid, I try to keep up with Liz, who doesn't slow down. Until finally I manage to expose my surprise and a certain indignation to learn that that perverted bastard had such a high position.

- Are you sure we're talking about the same person? - I ask again, still disbelieving with that.

- Yes, any problem? - Liz asks, looking at me confused.

- Ah... none, forget it. - I give up and accept reality.

After that, we didn't exchange another word, we just continued to follow the path to Alex's meeting. As soon as we got to the stairs, we headed to the same living room where I met Alex yesterday... and then I was kidnapped and taken to that room. Liz stops in front of the two gigantic wooden doors, revealing that gigantic room again. As soon as I approach I can see my dear host sitting on his navy blue upholstered sofa, wearing a light blue robe and a porcelain cup on top of an ornate silver coffee table in front of him... was that table here in the last chapter?

As soon as I take a few steps I am finally noticed by Alex, who looks in my direction and smiling happily.

- Good morning Yuki! - Alex says excitedly. - Sleep well?

- Honestly... you ended up with my hip. - I say, in a sincere and thick way, placing a hand on my waist.

- Ah, I see... - Alex says, with a smile on his face looking like he was proud, then he reaches out and grabs the cup on the table and brings it to his lips. - Would you like to have breakfast?

"Son of..."

It was the first thing I thought, but I was in so much pain and hunger that I didn't want to complain. Leaving that aside, I recover my calm and sit on the other sofa, Alex's left. Then I just nod and accept what he had offered.

- Liz, please bring Yuki breakfast. - Asks Alex, with some politeness... something I didn't expect from him.

- Of course, Master. - Confirms Liz, with her impeccable education and bowing slightly before leaving the room.

I follow Liz out with my eyes until the big doors close behind her, but my attention quickly turns to Alex sitting and taking one last sip of his coffee. He puts the cup, now empty, on the coffee table, then turns to me and starts to talking.

- You look very sexy in that Yuki outfit. - Says Alex, praising me.

- Ah... sure, thanks. - I say, surprised and slightly blushing my face... don't judge me, I didn't expect a compliment from him... when I say that the memory of the note comes to mind and I don't hold myself. - Alex, please, no more small talk.

- Okay, I wanted to wait a little longer but... - Alex says, crossing his legs and

now looking me in the eyes seriously. - First: the target, We need to find out who it was. something in mind Yuki? - Alex continues, looking at me waiting for an answer.

when our eyes meet, I take a deep breath and say everything.

- The man who murdered my parents, my brother and Haru was... - I say, with a little fear and creating a certain tension. - His name is Izak Rossi, my uncle.

For a second, Alex has an expression of surprise on his face, but it doesn't last long.

- If so, then we'll see. - Inform Alex. - Don't worry Yuki, let's find that man. - Alex says without hesitation, giving me some comfort with all that.

At the same time that I hear Alex's voice, the sound of the living room door opening interrupts us, it was Liz. She was walking towards us with a maid trolley full of plates of food on top, certainly a scene that I could only see in the movies. With omelet, toast, various types of sliced fruit and a cup of coffee, all in delicate porcelain. As soon as she approaches, she places the dishes on the coffee table with delicacy and precision, then leaves the room without saying anything.

- But Rossi... isn't your last name Sato? Why does your uncle have an Italian name? - Alex asks, curious.

- Ah, my mother's family is Italian and my father's is Japanese. - I answer breathing slowly, to calm myself when I remember that name. Then I reach out and pick up the plate with the omelet and a fork.

- Italian... isn't it? - Murmurs Alex, in a very low tone.

- Hum, what did you say? - I ask, curious, putting a fork full of omelet in my mouth.

- Nothing, hehehe. - Alex answers, with an innocent face. - But we need to resolve some things. Yuki I will be direct... you will not be able to kill your uncle. - Says Alex, in a calm voice and looking me straight in the eye.

When I hear this, I feel my spine freeze and little by little my discomfort disappears, the anger consumes me and makes me explode.

- Hun... What!? - I say angry and confused. - Why?! We have a deal, Alex! - I exclaim angrily in my voice, but I am interrupted by my host and guilty of my spontaneous anger.

- Yuki, killing a man is not as simple as it seems. - Warns Alex, extremely serious and taking care with every word so that I don't explode anymore. - I understand your desire for revenge, but to take someone's life, to see your blood spread on the floor and in your hands, especially from someone you had loved... you will excite no matter the size of your thirst for revenge.

- So what should I do? - I say, disappointed and trying to contain my anger. - Will you kill Izak for me? - I conclude, still unable to believe that I would not end it with my own hands.

- Are you idiot? - Says Alex, looking at me strangely.

- But... But you didn't say...? - I say, confused by Alex's play on words.

- Of course it will be you who will kill him, you just need to get used to it. - Alex says calmly and continuing his explanation.

- Get used to it? - I ask, surprised by Alex's response, but at the same time I started to regain my interest in the conversation, while gradually calming my anger.

- I will go out to deal with some matters, you will come with me and observe from afar. It will be a great opportunity for you to meet some of my subordinates. - Alex continues with a smile on his face, while explaining the day's itinerary. - It will be great for my beautiful fiance to see me work, hehehe.

- Calm down. - I say quickly and harshly, already cutting the man's excitement. - And what job is that? Are you going to take me to an orgy?

- Do not worry. - Alex says, making fun of my assumptions, raising both hands as a sign of peace so that I don't worry. - Let's make a judgment.

- Judgment? - I ask curious, while eating the last piece of the omelet.

- Ah, I didn't explain. - Alex says, resuming the conversation in a serious tone. - Judgments is when one or more Generals of Sin judge a demon, based on the crime he committed here in the human world.

- But you are not a demon either, why would you judge someone of your kind? - I ask surprised and at the same time interested in Alex's work... don't tell him that.

- If so, why do humans fight wars with each other over things like territory or wealth? - exemplifies Alex, with an air of irony in his voice.

- Ah... you're right. - I mean, a little embarrassed for saying something so obvious.

- Yuki, even with the end of the war and a peace treaty, not everyone accepted this, especially the demons. - Explains Alex, maintaining his seriousness and calm. - As one of the generals, I have the job of sending the demons that break this peace to hell.

- But isn't hell a home for demons? - I ask, puzzled, looking into Alex's blue eyes. - I don't see how bad it can be.

- It depends... - Whispers Alex, with a somber expression.

- Hã? - I ask, even more curious and at the same time I feel a certain discomfort coming from Alex.

- It depends on what part of hell you came from... if you came from the high and noble class you will have a good life: food and social standing, but... if you were born in the other part you will know the true meaning of hell. - explains Alex, keeping a dark look.

- The other part? I ask, increasingly interested in Alex's explanation.

- It's called '' The Moat '', basically it's the poor part of hell. In the past, if you were born there it was the same thing as dying... hunger, disease and the fact that you are nothing, just a piece of demonic flesh that in your last breath of life you would pray to God. - Alex continues, in a dark tone, but does not hide any details. - But when hell connected with the human world, the demons of Moat did not think twice before leaving. Obviously, it caused a mess and was one of the reasons for the start of the war.

- Wait, but it was also not prudent on the part of the demons to create this connection with Earth. - I interrupt Alex, while showing my side.

- Hã... what are you talking about Yuki? - Asks Alex, now confused. - It was not the demons that opened the door of hell, it was the humans. The culprit was never found, but he was certainly a human.

I am speechless when I hear that. I always thought that the blame for the war was on the demons, but... I don't even know why I'm so surprised... humans aren't the perfect example or the ideal being, it's almost funny.

- But you don't have to worry about that, it was 20 years ago, it's a thing of the past. But back to the subject... - Explains Alex, getting excited again. - With the demons on this side, many of them saw it as an opportunity to escape The Moat and decided to stay here in the human world. The government of Hell agreed and created certain laws so that they could stay here and...

- The human government made sure to create laws and job opportunities for demons. - I interrupt Alex and complete his sentence, excited to know it was correct. - I learned this at school, the relationship between demons and humans is essential nowadays.

- Smart guy. - Alex says surprised by my amount of information.

- So basically your job is to send the demons that break the law, expel them from this world and keep the peace between humans and the demons that reside here. - I conclude, impressed that Alex has such an important job.

"I honestly thought he was just a rich, lazy, perverted person who does nothing in life... but I won't say it out loud."

- Now you are impressed with your Husband's work? - says Alex, trying to brag.

- Yes of course. Thankfully, the person I am going to marry is not a "rich, lazy, perverted person who does nothing in life". - I mean, a little too sincere... but I couldn't help myself, his convinced way may have irritated me a little.

- Aaaaaah... Yuki, you could be a little kind. - Asks Alex, a little dejected by what I said... I may have exaggerated.

When I see it, Alex was looking like an abandoned puppy... how cute... I try not to laugh when I see that face, but I can't contain my laughter.

- What's the fun? - Alex asks a little irritated by my laughter, I could see his cheeks swell with anger, becoming even more cute.

- Ah... I don't know, maybe it's the fact that you surprise me with an impressive job and that you can make such a cute face. - I answer sincerely, expressing a slight smile. - You are really full of surprises Alex, it will be interesting to accompany you at work.

Almost immediately, Alex changes his expression from moody to embarrassed and his face starts to blush slightly. He tries to say something, but he can't. The General of Lust flushed with just a few compliments, before I managed to organize a sentence in his head, I get up from the couch and walk towards Alex.

- What are we waiting for? - I say excited and with an expression of confidence.

- Hum... I admire the excitement, but finish eating your breakfast first. - Says Alex, looking at my face with some admiration. - I have to finish some preparations, I'll call you when everything is ready.

Alex gets up and walks over to me. When he gets close enough, he reaches out and gently touches my chin with his fingertips. I just got lost in the blue of his eyes and the beauty of his smile, but he breaks our eye contact and headed for the door, saying nothing. I just followed his way with my eyes, but as soon as he crosses the room I turn to the rest of the food plates left on the table: a few slices of toast, fruits and a cup of coffee. I reach out my hand, take the cup, bring it to my mouth and start drinking from the dark liquid.

"He is very handsome..."

I think, but as soon as those words infest my mind, I almost spit out coffee. What the hell am I thinking?

"It doesn't make sense, I already have a boyfriend, I already have Ha... I had Haru... fuck, why did I think about him right now?"

I feel the sadness of the memories overwhelming me, I feel like throwing up but I manage to hold on.

"A little more... a little more..."

Alex On:

"Maybe... I should have gone more slowly with him."

I think as I walk through the door, out of the living room.

- Strange, you would normally have stripped off his clothes and done it on the sofa. - Says Liz seriously and maintaining formality.

She was next to the door, leaning back against the wall.

- Liz, don't say such horrible things to your master. - I say with an ironic air and giving a slight smile towards the young woman.

- After years of working for you, I know how your head works. - She says,

looking at me with those fulminating red eyes, as if none of my lies could have gone unnoticed by her. - But why haven't you done anything more with him yet?

- Do not know? Maybe... - I continue, this time fixed my gaze towards the floor and breaking the eye contact with Liz. - It's not fun to touch something so fragile at the moment.

- If so. - She says, turning to the door I had just left. - I really liked him... if you make him cry, I will kill you my dear m-a-s-t-e-r.

- Don't worry, I'm more afraid of you than anything else in the underworld. - I finish the conversation by turning in the direction of the staircase and proceeding to my room. - I will take Yuki to one of my bases in Kyoto, help him get ready.

I start up the stairs slowly, leaving Liz alone in that entrance hall.

- You could be more sincere with your feelings too, stupid master. - Liz whispers, finally entering the room where Yuki was.

Yuki ON:

I think looking at the cafe, with an expressionless face. I was so distracted that I didn't even notice Liz's approach.

- Yuki-san, didn't you like the food? - Liz asks, politely and with a little concern in her voice. - You were making a strange face.

- No... no, it was great Liz I was just thinking about a few things. - I say trying to express a slight smile, as a way not to worry her.

- Okay. - Says Liz, looking cheerful and at the same time a little more calm. - My master asked me to choose a clothing for you.

- Sure, but where will he take me? - I ask, curious but at the same time a little afraid of the place where Alex would take me.

- You and my master will go to one of our bases in Kyoto. - Liz replies, smiling slightly. - Wasn't that where you lived Yuki-san?

- No, I lived in Tokyo, but I always wanted to visit Kyoto. - I answer, a little sad for not visiting my house but at the same time anxious.

- Then it will be a good opportunity for you and my master to go on a date. - Says Liz, in a subtle way.

- What? - I ask, surprised to see someone as serious as Liz say something like that... I expected this from Alex.

- You are technically engaged, so it is a good idea if you know each other better. - Liz suggests with that smile, as she takes the dishes off the table and puts them back on the maid trolley.

- Liz... please don't say things like that, you know I got engaged to him just because of the contract. - I say, honestly and trying to clarify things with Liz.

- Are you sure? - Liz asks me looking serious and a little disappointed.

- What do you mean? - I ask curious and at the same time worried, trying to understand why the young woman looks at me with such an expression.

- Nothing Yuki-san. - Says Liz, who changes her expression to a calm and serious expression as always. - Yuki-san, let's go to your room, you need to get ready for work.

I don't say anything, just nod. Then Liz starts to drive her trolley, taking the dirty dishes from the room. I get up and start to follow her on a slow walk. The redhead did not look back and concentrated only on the path she took.

"What a dedication to work"

I'm impressed with Liz's work and focus, but at the same time something else was going through the young woman's head.

"It will take a while for these morons to be together.

5 minutes later:

As soon as we enter my room, Liz goes to the closet, without even think twice, and gently opens it doors and looks at the clothes inside. She looks at each piece of clothing carefully and after a few seconds of observation, she extends her arms and organizes some sets of clothes.

- These are the ones I recommend. - Says Liz, being able to feel a certain excitement coming from her when choosing my clothes.

She had placed three sets on the white sheets on the bed, all folded neatly and symmetrically. The one on the right was violet with simple details in a darker purple, in the middle was white with some silver flowers embroidered precisely on the fabric and the one on the left was a dark red with black ornaments that covered most of the clothes.

"What a surprise there is nothing blue."

Even though I couldn't see many of the details, I could tell that they were all beautiful. I think for a while and watch each set calmly, stay like that for a few seconds and then reach out and grab one of them.

- How about this one? - I ask excitedly, turning my face to Liz.

- Great choice Yuki-san, it's my favorite. - Says Liz, making it clear in her speech that she was extremely happy with my decision.

Some time Later:

Alex was at the bottom of the stairs waiting for me. He wore something like a long-sleeved military uniform, all in navy blue and decorated with beautiful shiny silver chains that went from shoulder to shoulder. His hair was straight and tidy, he must have used gel... until that appearance looks good on him.

I start down the stairs and the sound of my footsteps starts to echo down the hall, almost at the same time that Alex turns to me and follows my descent with his eyes. I was wearing the red set, I loved all the other options but it was the one that caught my attention. The black ornaments covered by long sleeves and on the top of the clothes, a long and slightly wider pants that followed the same style, with the same ornaments that started from the bottom to the waist, looking like snakes with black scales swimming in a river of roses and Liz had chosen a simple black dress shoe... very comfortable indeed.

"I don't know if I'm happy to be wearing such a beautiful outfit or if I'm not wearing these short shorts anymore."

Alex just followed my walk with his eyes and a slight smile.

"I think I managed to please."

As soon as I reach the bottom step, my partner finally decides to say something.

- You look beautiful in that outfit, Yuki. - Alex says happy and with a charismatic smile.

- I can't say if your compliment from you is good, but... thanks. - I answer the compliment while making fun of his face, with a smile on the corner of my face.

- Who knows... come on? - Alex says with a light laugh, extending his hand towards me.

- Let's go. - I mean, extending my hand until I reach his.

When our hands touch, I feel Alex's warm hand pulling me and leading me to the door, it was a comforting heat that calmed me. I look at the man's face and he looks very excited about it, having expressed a much bigger smile as we walked to the exit, I don't say anything,I just let him enjoy the moment. When we get to the doors, Alex opens it for me and lets me out first, but before he leaves the house, he turns and sees Liz in the distance. The young woman maintained a polite and respectful posture while looking in our direction. She seemed to want to talk to Alex, so I just go out and wait until they're done.

Alex On:

- Good job Liz, he was cute! - I mean, making a little OK sign with one of my hands.

- It's my job, master. Please enjoy your date but don't do anything too indecent. - She warns me seriously, raising one of her eyebrows.

- Don't worry, who do you think I am? - I speak happy and waving my hand

and finally leaving the house.

When I walk out the door, only one thing goes through the girl's head:

"You are the demon of lust, that's why I'm concerned... aff... good luck Yuki-san."

Yuki On:

- Come on Alex. - I say, waiting for Alex to leave the house. - What were you doing?

- Hehehe, I was just saying goodbye to Liz. - Alex answers, hiding the subject of the conversation between him and Liz.

The outside... it's been a while since I left. Now that I'm thinking, what part of Japan am I in...? I look around and look at the outside of the mansion, it looked very much like the mansions in the movies: three floors, walls were gray and smooth, the roof had navy blue tiles that looked like sapphires with a sheen and brilliant color and the garden at the entrance was composed of bushes perfectly pruned with blue roses, a road of beautiful gray bricks that ran from the door of the mansion to the road just ahead, where a car was waiting for us, being a black limousine. As soon as I see our vehicle, I am surprised by the luxuries of the life of a General from Hell.

A man was waiting for us outside the car; he was a young man, with short dark hair, a friendly expression and he wore a simple uniform all black with gold buttons. As soon as we approach him the young man greets us.

- Good morning Master Alexander and Yuki-san. - Greets him politely, it didn't come close to Liz's etiquette but it was very good.

- Good morning Simon, is everything ready for our departure? - Asks Alex checking the last details.

- Yes, we are ready to leave at any time. - Informs Simon, still with his friendly expression.

- Great then, Yuki. - Alex says, turning his face and looking at me with a smiling expression.

I make a nod with my head, then Simon opens the car door for us. I take a few steps forward and get into the limo followed by Alex. Inside the car it was very big and comfortable... well it was what you expected from a limo. As soon as I sit down Alex stands by me, almost sticking to me. I try to go a little to the side as a way of opening a larger space between the two of us, but before I get too far, his arm goes over my shoulder and pulls me closer to him.

"How cute, we look like a little couple... give me patience !!"

I make a face of discomfort as soon as I feel his body heat, in a clear way of telling him to let me go.

- You don't have to make that face, it's not that bad. - Says Alex, squeezing that "hug" even more and expressing a smile.

- Okay, okay... but you don't need to stick to me for that long. - I say coldly, trying to push him away with just the words.

- But that's what couples do... isn't it? - Asks Alex, looking with that confident look that was doing the right thing.

- First: we are not a couple yet. - I say seriously looking at the window closest to me, in a way not to look at Alex's face and irritate me even more. - Then take it easy.

- OK darling. - He says, trying to take one with my face.

The car starts to move, I notice when the landscape outside the car starts to move and the sound of the engine rhythm reaches my ears.

"How long will I have to put up with him... but if I stop to think... it's not that bad, it's very warm, comfortable and somehow calms me down... obviously I'm not going to tell him that. "

Fuck it, I ignore my annoyance and let myself go. I no longer try to get away from Alex and rest my head on his shoulder... if you can't win, join them... and I'm too tired and without the patience to resist.

- Are you more obedient? - Says Alex, looking at me with some surprise but at the same time I was happy and a little flushed with my actions.

- Shut up, I didn't sleep well. - I mean, as an excuse for him not to bother me too much and close my eyes.

- If you say so, I'll wake you up when we get to Kyoto. - Says Alex calmly and enjoying every moment while he patted my head.

I don't say anything, I just let it go. It doesn't take long for me to fall asleep, I don't dream about anything, I just stay in that darkness without being able to see any shape or color... well I think it's better this way, I haven't had many good dreams. Time goes by, I don't know how much, I open my eyes slightly when I feel the car brake.

"We arrived?"

I was lying on the car seat and with my head on Alex's lap... I won't deny it was very comfortable. He didn't notice that I had woken up, he was looking out the car window with a peaceful expression, I just look at him in silence.

- Enjoying the view? - Alex says, turning to me

- We arrived? I ask, ignoring what he said.

- We just arrived. - informs Alex, looking me in the eyes with a certain charm.

I lift my torso and look out. I am impressed by this vision, it was like an army training camp, there were many men and women there, all dressed in something like a navy blue and silver uniform. But something else caught my attention, the horns and tails, not all had or showed. I remain silent as I look at the people in that place with curiosity.

- What interests you so much? - Alex asks, slightly curious

- It is the first time that I see so many demons together. - I reply sharply and without looking away.

- It makes sense, where you lived there were very few. - Explains Alex, with a slight smile on his face, his voice expresses a certain joy and his right arm passes by my torso giving me a hug. - Hey, how about we play a little? - Alex says in a low voice and pressing my body even harder against yours.

- N-now?! - I ask, surprised but at the same time half expected. - Are you crazy or what! - I mean, trying to stay calm and not stick your hand in his face.

I try to free myself from his embrace, bbut my strength doesn't compare with Alex's and I surrender easily. As soon as he feels that I am no longer resisting, he squeezes me tighter and lays me on the upholstery of the car. He stands over me, giving me no chance to escape. Alex reaches out and touches my face gently, I just move my eyes in a direction other than his, being the only movement I could make.

"Why am I making it easy for him? Why am I letting him do what he wants?"

I felt Alex's hand grasp my chin, with some delicacy, turning my face to his, forcing eye contact. He pulls me up and brings our lips closer. When I meet Alex's blue eyes, I get the answer to my question.

"Ah that's why... they have the same eyes... he has the same eyes as Haru."

Impossible not to make this comparison... how had I not noticed before...? I feel a pain in my chest, it felt like my heart was going to explode. I try to hold back my tears and close my eyes so I can't look at the blue that caused this emotional torture. Meanwhile, Alex in a unique but delicate movement, connects our lips and kisses me. My body goes rigid, I can't think of anything other than Haru. Alex watches me with his eyes closed for a few seconds and without warning he separates our lips.

- Alex, what...?! - I ask.

I keep my eyes closed, waiting for Alex to move. I just hope he finishes this quickly, but instead I feel Alex's arm grabbing my torso and settling me gently in the car seat. It takes me by surprise, making me open my eyes towards the man. I didn't know what to do or how I would act on it. Maybe he would end our contract if I couldn't please him, if I didn't play the fiance, making my spine run cold with fear and worry.

- I'll wait outside, when you feel better find us out there. - Alex says, expressing a cheerful smile but mixed with a certain discouragement.

- Oh... won't we continue? - I stammer as I ask, a little surprised.

- You better not, it seems that you are not much in the mood today, maybe another time. - Alex says calmly and carefully in his choice of words, keeping that expression of a smile filled with sadness or perhaps... disappointment?

"He got it?!"

I think surprised, that Alex has noticed my discomfort. I look at him without being able to say anything, just watch as he get out of the car, without looking back and closing the door leaving me alone. I grab my clothes and squeeze them tightly, I feel frustrated with all that but I couldn't say why. It was a strange feeling, just like what I was feeling before but it seemed to hurt twice. It felt like my heart was just going to jump out of my chest. Maybe I finally went crazy.

Alex On:

I was feeling down. I support my back on the car door, give a slight sigh and just remain silent holding my frustration.

- You should give him more time. - Says Simon, approaching me slowly.

- I know that but... - I say, discouraged. i just let these negative feelings eat me from the inside out.

- You better not make him cry, Liz will be very angry. - Warns Simon, with some funny air in his voice.

- Ah... don't tell me, I don't know how I managed to survive the last time she got angry. - I say, making the fear clear in my voice. - But before that Simon, I need you to investigate something. - I mean, exchanging my despondency for seriousness.

- At your service, master. - Says Simon, happy and ready for service.

- I want you to look for Izak Rossi. - I inform, maintaining seriousness.

- Okay, give me a few days. - Says Simon, with a calm expression and happy that it will be an easy task.

- I also need you to look for one more thing. - I say, slowly approaching Simon and whispering a few words in his ear.

- Er, master why do you want to know about them !? - Exclaims Simon, surprised and a little sad to know that this would be more difficult than he expected.

- Just look for it Simon and let me know. - I mean, looking seriously at the young man.

- Aff... at your service, master. - Sighs Simon, but then expresses a friendly smile. - But Master, why do you want to...? - He tries to ask, but I interrupt him when I move my hand to Simon's mouth as a way of saying that at the moment he doesn't need to know why.

- Simon, please. - I say, finally expressing my usual cheerful smile.

- If you say so, but I'll need a few months - Informs Simon, cheerfully and confidently.

- Take your time. - I mean, now more relaxed.

- You better hurry up your lieutenants are waiting for you, they are eager to meet your fiance. - Informs Simon, smiling.

- Aff... right right, as soon as Yuki gets out of the car, we will see them. - I say, going back to my normal mood.

In the middle of that conversation I am immersed in my thoughts.

"Fiance... when will he really be mine?"

At the same time, something else was going through Simon's head.

"Liz was right, these two are going to need a lot more time..."
