FIVE: THE DEMONESS

"Chikao Mahou," the soon-to-be elder spoke softly, " where will thou go?" 

"somewhere far away," the red monkey turned his back on the lar gibbon. "You are welcomed to join me to continue your training." 

"but I cannot leave my siblings alone." She gestured to all the baby monkeys she had cared for centuries. 

With a 'hmph' sound he made, he walked away from the ar gibbon's peripheral vision, never to be seen again.

Oh, brother.

Who knew having man-children as siblings could be so troublesome? 

Macaque is held in the cuffs of the Lady Bone demon. While her dog was stepping on his furry head, he winced in pain. 

He thought it was over for him. He wouldn't be able to see the light again, not like he ever could.

This is what happens to deal breakers, right?

All that scolding Y/N gave him rang in his ears, making him chuckle.

He will never see her again with a sigh. He accepted his fate, ashamed he had to go down in such a way.

But he was still in the living realm when he closed his eyes. How?

When he blinks, he sees the female lar gibbon land harshly on the floor, pushing away the lady bone demon and her assistant. His eyes widen at the small monkeys on her back, waving at him cheerfully. He felt like smiling. 

She looks at the demon in disgust before looking back at her former sibling.

He was so drained he couldn't help but feel a warm aura when he closed his eyes. 

He was safe.

'Y/n...'

'No matter what, you'll always be beside me.

Thank you, s- Y/n.'

"ugh..." 

His throat was sore, and he turned to the mirror across the room and sighed at sight. He was covered in bandages, probably from the work of the lar gibbon. She saved him again.

They were back at the cold dojo they had both been accustomed to. Though it all seemed darker than normal, everything rang in his ears. His last memory from what seemed like yesterday replayed in his mind.

From the mirror, he could see Y/N walking towards him. Did she always look so delicate and pretty? Like a porcelain doll, except she wasn't a doll. She was very much real. He could feel her hold his shoulders from behind as she had newly cleaned bandages.

"stupid."

Ah, he expected that. He arched his back when she touched a burning wound with her soft hands. A hiss leaves his mouth, and he closes his eyes.

"You have an old student to catch," she throws the compass over his shoulders so he can grab it. "The demoness told me to inform you that with this compass, you can follow them wherever. She wants you to bring him to her." 

"You threw me into a deal I didn't agree to?" He smirked as he looked behind his shoulder. "my my, you've been hanging around bad influences."

She grew angry at his words before punching the back of his head. A loud sound emanated from the contact, and he yelped, dropping his now bruised head to rub his injury.
