"You... fucking bastard..." The incubus looked up and felt the soul he had in him drop to the floor. He was caught. You looked on in horror and began pacing backwards from the incubus and the body of your... former friend.

"I... Angel! It's me!" You ran off, without a doubt in the world. You wanted to save Touya. Grab him from that thing but knew for yourself you may also... perish. "I can explain Angel please!"

"WHO ARE YOU!" You slipped away from the incubus and locked yourself in your room. Your whole body shook as you looked around the room for a way out. That lock won't buy you much time.

"Angel! Dammit, listen to me!" The incubus walked over to your bedroom door and hovered over the door knob, his tail slowly whipped around him.

"Get the fuck away from me!" You frantically looked around the room and scurried under the bed and held your breath. Your mouth now covered by your shaking hands as you heard the door knob.

Click.

Click.

Click.

Snap.

The male snapped the door knob off and threw it aside. Tears pooled from your eyes as you watched feet slowly step around the bed and by the nightstand. He breathed heavily and seemed to be... crying. You shook and watched his feet turns towards your patio.

A chance to run.

You slowly crawled out from the bed and stared up at the incubus. You couldn't comprehend what you were looking at. You just had to find Keigo... make sure he's okay... and fucking book it. Though... that thing looked so much like him, it tormented you.

You bolted for the door and swung it open, only for it to be slammed shut by crimson feathers. You turned to the incubus in utter horror. No expression laid on his face.

"Not so fast."

"Please... I don't- I don't wanna die! Y-you killed my best friend! You-" You grabbed a book from a nearby stand and threw it at the incubus. He caught the book in seconds with his tail and set it aside as he took small steps towards you.

"I'm not going to hurt you Angel." He smiled as blood trickled down his ripped clothing and face... the blood obviously not his own.

"Don't fucking call me that, you have no fucking ri-"

"Do you not recognize me?" His pointed ears drooped at the realization that you were terrified of him. Sickened really, of what he was.

"I just want Keigo back!"

"Angel.... I am Keigo." He shakily reached for her hand, his clawed fingers dripping with blood.

"Keigo?..." You looked up at his face and shook violently. You didn't understand and felt sick to your stomach.

"It's me... don't you recognize me?" He asked once more and slowly took her hand into his claws with a soft smile. A smile that looked a lot like... Keigo.

"Wh-... what happened to you...." Keigo looked down at himself then towards you.

"Nothing... I've always been like th-"

"WHY DID YOU KILL TOUYA!" Those words hit Keigo like a brick, a stone wall of pain.

"Just let me explain!"

"EXPLAIN?! What even are you!" Each word, phrase, sentence broke Keigo down more and more. He looked up in a pit of rage and ordered a few feathers to slam you against the wall, an effort to shut you up and make you listen. You coughed out hoarsely and shook silently.

"Will you let me explain." You shook your head accordingly and huddled up against the wall. Keigo walked over and sat on the bed, staring down at you. "I'm not human... I never was Angel."

"Then..."

"Incubus. I'm an incubus." You looked over at your open computer then at Keigo. You read about these people... no not people. Demons. "I've been watching over you for sometime... all those weird smells, the shadows... everything... that was me."

"Why." He jolted up and looked towards you. Your face now buried in your knees. "Why me?"

"I fell in love with you... I was supposed to-"

"Supposed to what?"

"I... was supposed to bring your soul to the underworld, but the minute I laid eyes on you... I felt at peace. Like I found my soulmate. I may not have a full soul, but you make my soul feel complete..."

"Why didn't you just kill me." You gave him a disheartened expression and looked up at the ceiling. "It'll do us both good."

"I can't bring myself to do it... so I made a contract instead..." He snapped his lips shut at the realization of what he said and looked down at his bloodied claws.

"Contract?"

"Yes... that night the two of us were together... I created-"

"You forced me into a contract."

"N-no!, listen..."

"You listen to me Keigo. Why did you do this to me! Why did you kill Touya!"

"Touya deserved it." His tone turned dark as he turned to face you again. "He was an arsonist who killed people. Burned them alive, the only reason why he got burned in the first place was from lighting his own damn self on fire." He tapped his chin with his pointed index. "His intentions with you to begin with, we're not pleasant. He in fact worst then mine."

"Lies."

"Lies? How can it be lies? I know I'm an incubus Angel, but even I have some ounce of fucking respect. He was planning on burning you." You looked on in shock and tried to get up on your feet. "Do you understand?"

"...yes. I do." You got up and shakily sat on the bed next to him. Half of you believed him, the other half thought this was some sick fucking joke. Though, you had to agree, hoping he wouldn't take your life too.

"Good, but I truly regret making the contract, I really do. I practically took away any freedom you basically have. Cause I wanted you to be mine."

"I don't understand..."

"Angel I love you. I'll say it as many times as I need to for you to finally get it. If it makes you feel better, I can change ba-" You reached over for a hug and wept. You couldn't handle it anymore. You needed the embrace of something. He took it happily and hugged tighter. "I'm sorry... if I could go back in time and stop
myself I would."

"Yea... I bet you would..."
