Demons can love? (HakuKoyu/Akakoyu story.)

Are you going to leave again?

Kiyaka POV:

There I was. Left alone again for what felt like the fiftieth time. It probably was fifty times, to be honest. Maybe even more. I have been a demon for centuries, I wouldn't doubt it.

When he walked off, I didn't follow him. I knew I was a pester to him and no amount of begging would make him stay. He was the first member of the uppermoon's I've ever met. Despite his rudeness, I liked him. His small amount of company meant the world to me, even if he wasn't trying to spend time with me and rather get rid of me.

I turned back to the village of people we'd killed. I ate some more remains and hid in one of the houses until the sun rose. I could've easily gone back out and killed more, but something drove my mind from that. I was still thinking about him and his words to me. Nothing any other demon has told me mattered. What he said to me was said many other times before, but it felt like it mattered now. His words actually hurt.

I sat in the middle of the living room of the home and stared at my shaky hands. I felt myself begin to tear up. I didn't understand what I was feeling because it wasn't what it was thinking. Why did this matter so much? It shouldn't. I covered my face with my hands as I cried and shook.

"What is wrong with me? I don't even truly feel this way, do I? I'm crying. I'm a demon and I'm crying. I really am pathetic!"

I fake laughed through my tears and brought my knees to my chest. I hugged my knees close to me as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up. I slowly lifted my head from my knees. I rubbed my red eyes awake and looked around. It was sunset, the sun was basically gone, but it barely peeked through the trees. I stretched my legs out and laid back on the ground as I stared at the ceiling. My hazy mind finally processed everything and I remembered last night. I scoffed and shook my head.

"Stupid. So stupid. You cried over words you've heard many times before. Stop being pathetic, Kiyaka. Or will you always be.?'

My mind drifted off. I believed I was pathetic. Am I? And will I always be? If I am, what good am I? What if I just died?

Suddenly, I heard voices outside. I hurried up and peeked out the door to see who it was. I saw three high ranked demon slayers. They must've heard about these killings and had people sent here for the uppermoon. If they were sent here to kill an uppermoon, then I'd surely be weak and defenseless in this fight. I couldn't fight them, so I had to go. Now. Or I would die. I quickly searched the house for some place other than the front door to exit. There was no back door. There were no windows. Just the front door. Are you kidding? Of course. The house I choose has no way of escaping other than the place that would put me in danger. I hear one of them speak.

"Let's search all the houses. I wouldn't doubt the demon would try to stay the night in one of these houses. I'll take this corner. You take that corner and you take that one."

The demon slayer spoke as he pointed at different corners of the village. I watched them head into the directions they were assigned. One went to the house beside the one I hid in. He was going to check this one next. I stood there and waited for the other two to enter the homes. I saw them both enter and they were gone. I looked around. I had a clear shot. Go. Run. I shouldn't have been this scared, but I was. I hesitated for about a minute then decided I had to do something. I wiped my head clean of any doubt of this plan and booked it out of the door. I was only able to take five steps before I felt a strong tug at my arm. I was stopped instantly. It was the demon slayer that went into the house beside the one I hid in. The demon slayer pulled me closer and brought his katana to my neck.

"You're the disgusting demon that slaughtered all of these innocent people, aren't you?"

I stood there, staring at him. My body was frozen. I had never came this close to death and now my mind isn't working. I heard the other demon slayers run from the houses they were in as they stood around me, their swords drawn.

"I'm kind of surprised. I would've thought we would have been dealing with an uppermoon! Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The demon slayer shook me. My mind was stiff. I couldn't think. I snapped out of it and broke free from the demon slayers grasp. Before I could do anything, I felt a slash at my back. All three of the demon slayers were circled around me. How do I escape? Another one slashed my arm. Then another slashed my leg. They weren't killing me, just slashing me. Since I wasn't what they were expecting, they were just playing. I hated this. I tried making several swipes but I was just defenseless. There was no point. This is how I am going to die.

Akaza POV:

I woke up the same way I fell asleep. I woke up a bit later than usual though. Whatever it was, it didn't matter. I got up and headed out of the cave. 'Where do I go today?' ,I thought. Then, there it was again. Her. I shook my head and spoke to myself.

"What is up with you? She's glued to your brain. This is a pain."

I had missed breakfast, so I thought I could eat a late one. What if I went back to that village and eat some there? I did leave behind some remains. Let's just hope no demon has found them before I get there. I was walking that direction when I thought to myself, 'Are you actually going to eat, or are you going to see if she's there still?'  I shook my head again. No. This is just to eat. I don't care about her. Demons don't care.

I walked a bit longer until I finally recognized where I was at. I saw the small line up of homes through the trees. I began to pick up my pace until I heard speaking and slashing. I began to walk slower and more stealth like. I creeped up behind the back of a home a peered at the commotion. There she was. Her. There were three demon slayers around her laughing and slashing at her as she desperately tried to fight back. Whoever gave the demon slayers the mission must've sent them for me, which is why she's struggling. A part of it to me was hard to watch. I saw this, what felt like, every day. So what made this different? It gave me a weird feeling. Pity and anger. I didn't think this way, so why did I feel this way? I was conflicted with myself. I watched and the longer I did, the worse these emotions got. That was it. I had to do something about it.

I lunged towards the first demon slayer and killed him instantly. The others turned their attention from the lowermoon to me. One charged at me quickly about to swing their sword. I backed from the attack then lunged forward and killed him to. Only one remained. He looked at me helplessly. He turned and began to ran. I should let him go. In situations like this I always do. But something was drawing me from letting him live. A part of me wanted him dead for hurting this girl. There again, overwhelmed by odd emotions, I killed him before he could get too far.

I walked back to the beaten lowermoon. If I stayed here with her much longer, I wouldn't be able to control half of the off emotions she gives me. I walked past her, not hesitating to look back. I kept my eyes forward until I heard her speak.

"Are you leaving again?"

I paused. I could hear the helplessness in her voice. I couldn't help but feel bad. I didn't want to speak because that might whirl up some more unwelcomed emotions, but I did anyway.

"Yes. I'm leaving now."

I said this still facing forward. No part about this bothered me until.

"You'll just come back."

What does she mean? Why would I come back for someone like her.

"What makes you think I'd want to return to you?"

I said, finally turning to her.

"I don't know. But you came back for me just now."

Does she really think I came back for her? How could she say that? Was it true? No, it wasn't. Was it?
