Demon Pit Fighting

Chapter One

The bull prince sighed in defeat, several magazines were spread out on the dining room table in front of him. He had run out of ideas on how to confess his feelings for the Noodle boy. The only thing left for him was to be straight foward but he hadn't seen a sign of the mortal being interested in him. Maybe it was time for the fire demon to admit defeat and accept that the mortal didn't return his feelings.

"What's with the magazine's?" His mothers voice came from behind him.

Red Son flinched in his seat and quickly collected up the magazine's "oh haha nothing mother! Nothing at all!"

The woman rolled her eyes and snatched up one of them. Her son tried to snatch it from her hands but she moved back causing him to fall out of his chair. Iron Fan examined the magazine and frowned, the main highlights were all about trying to find a soulmate or attracting males. She looked to her son who was sitting on the floor, his face burning from embarrassment. 

his was the first time in centuries Red Son showed any interest in finding a mate. She could barely contain her excitement. She quickly cleared her throat and tossed the magazine back onto the table. 

"Sweetie come with me, i think it's time me and your father discussed the pit fight with you."

Red Son couldn't even argue as his mother was already dragging him down the hall and to the living room. His father was sitting on the couch looking over some papers, Red Son didn't recognize them nor could tell what they were from a distance. When he heard their footsteps he lowered the papers and looked at his wife, he was confused as to why she was dragging their son behind her.

"What did he do now?" The bull sighed thinking maybe their son accidentally blew up his workshop again.

Iron Fan forced her son to sit on the couch across from the one his father was sitting on "well it seems our son is ready to find a mate~"

The bull King and Red Son's eyes widened as they both turned to the woman. Bull king didn't know if he was proud or horrified "WHAT!?"

Iron Fan rolled her eyes at her husbands outburst "Dear he's not a baby any more, plus we've been getting alot of courting gifts from suitors."

"You have?"

"Your father usually throws them out~ he's not ready to lose his baby haha" as soon as Iron Fan said that the bull looked away embarrassed. 

The fire demon was touched to see his father cared so much. He always assumed they would have married him off to the first powerful demon that came knocking. He couldn't help the smile that found it's way onto his face. 

"Thank you father."

Bull King huffed "none of those ants are worthy of my son....."

Iron Fan sat next to her husband and placed a gently yet reassuring hand on his arm "well thats what the pit fight is for."

"Pit fight?" Red Son had heard his parents mention it before.

"It a tradition for royal demon families, any one who is interested in marrying you has to try and take down all of your other suitors~" Iron Fan sighed happily and looked at her husband. Her mind filled with memories of the bull fighting for her.
