Ch. 19 - The Moment of Truth

*Sky's POV*

"Well, the demon record is in there." I looked to see that we were at an old abandoned church. Then suddenly, I remembered something about this church.

"This is the church were we used to go to, when we were kids. What happened to it?" I asked ready to burst into tears. How did everything change so easily?

"Well, when you and your Mother left and your Father took over Gehenna, people lost hope over the fact that things would go back to normal. And when people lost hope, they stopped going to church. That's why we need a queen like you, I believe that you can change everything for the better." I looked at her, feeling conflicted.

Yes. This is my home but, it doesn't feel like it. Assiah's my home, with Rin, Shiemi, Mom, and everyone else. I have to go back to them.

"Gehenna doesn't need me. It needs a Queen, and I'm not cut out to be queen," Akane frowned when I said this. "But, this is your home."

"I know but, Assiah is my home and I have to go back." I said walking towards the church, with her following behind me.

"Fine! Leave me like everyone else has." I stopped, turned around, and looked at her with a hurt and angry expression on my face. I trotted towards her. Standing face to face with her.

"Look I get that your pissed off but, I didn't have a choice. I was forced to leave. You out of all people should understand that, and you can't hold this over me."

"Yes, I can hold this over you." She said walking past me but, I grabbed her wrist to stop her from walking any further.

"Why?"

"Because even if it wasn't your choice, you still left. And you can't go back to the past, and change that," I let go of her wrist, and looked at her with a hurt expression on my face. I knew she right, even if it wasn't my choice I still left her. Just like everybody else in her life. "You know what? Forget it. Let's just go get the demon record already." I nodded, not wanting to continue this conversation any longer.

Akane walked towards the church, with me following behind her. We entered the church to see, broken benches, vines growing from the ground, and dust everywhere.

Akane walked down the aisle, picked something up, turned around, and walked back towards me.

"Here's the book. Only a high level demon can open the book. I'm not a high level demon but, you are." She extended out her hand, and gave me the demon record. I looked at her unsure, and said.

"Do you really think I can open the book?" She nodded, with a determined look on her face, and I took a deep breath. I tried opening the book, and it worked.

Akane immediately came by my side, to see what was inside the book.

"Oh my god!" I said in shock by what I was seeing right now. It was a list of people who died in the past and present. And it was a pretty long list. "What are you looking at? I don't see anything." I looked at her confused. Am I the only one who is able to see this?

"Maybe, the book only reveals itself to the person who opened it."Then she sighed annoyed.

"Whatever, what does the book say?" She asked, taping her foot impatiently.

"Well, the book shows the name of the person, time of death, how the person was killed, who the person was killed by, and all of the names are in alphabetical order," Akane nodded, as I flipped through the book, trying to find Eda's name. "Oh my god!" I said for the second time.

I looked at aunt Eda's info. I can't believe this. It showed that aunt Eda's death was unknown, it didn't even show who killed her.

"What? What happened? What did you find?" she asked, desperate to know the answer.

"It says that her death is unknown, it doesn't even say who killed her." Akane shook her head, not believing that this was true.

"No, that doesn't make sense. We've come so far, and we got nothing. How is that even possible?" I shrugged my shoulders, still thinking about the whole situation. Why is everybody's death written in here, except for aunt Eda? What if...........

"Is it possible for the demon record's info to be changed?" She looked like she was thinking about it, and then she shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, I never heard of the demon record's info being changed. But, it could be possible." I was about to say something but, was cut off by someone breaking down the doors to the church.

A gush of wind flowed towards us, causing us to fall on our backs. We both look up to see Amaimon standing there, looking at us with an angry expression on his face.

Me and Akane both quickly stand up, ready to fight him if we had to. I looked at him, and knew something was off with him. His eyes looked like it had no life in them.

"Sky! My beautiful bride. Come with me, and nobody has to get hurt." I grabbed sword, and purple flames surrounded me.

"I'm not going anywhere with you." I said, ready to fight. Akane smirked at me, grabbed her scythe, and stood by my side.

"Fine, be that way. I guess, I'm gonna have to take you by force."

"KOUKI! Unleash your full power." Three beams of purple light shot towards him. While he was dodging the purple light, I charged towards him and managed to strike him, creating a huge gash on his left leg.

He grabbed his leg in pain. I took this opportunity to strike him in the head, but he ducked and punched me in the stomach, sending me flying towards Akane. Akane managed to catch me before I fell.

I groaned in pain, trying to get up but, I fell back down again. While Amaimon was healing himself, Akane charged towards him, and yelled.

"HOTAURU! Be my shield. FIRE RAIN!" Tiny drops of fire, fell from the sky. A shield that looked like rock, appeared above Amaimon. Akane used her scythe to break through his shield, and tried to strike him.

He dodged her, and tried to strike her with his sword but, she dodged him using her scythe. They fought back and forth, with brutal strength. I looked to my side to see that, my sword was glowing brightly. Without even thinking about, I stood up and said.

"KOUKI! Change your form," My sword changed into a bow and arrow. I raised my bow and arrow ready to strike but, it was hard getting a good aim because, they were moving around a lot. "KOUKI! Freeze time." And just like that, everything stopped moving. It looked like Amaimon was about to pierce his sword through Akane's stomach.

I sighed, and released the arrow. As soon as I released the arrow, everything went back to normal. The arrow hit Amaimon's side, causing him to drop his sword beside Akane.

Then all of the sudden, clutched my head in pain, and fell to the ground. The last thing I saw, was Akane standing up, and attacking Amaimon. Then I passed out.

*Dream*

I look to see my evil reflection staring at me, and then she sighed.

"Finally! I was trying to reach you for the past few days." I stood up, and stared at her in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her, standing in front of her face to face, and she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"You blocked me out of your head. You only block me out of your head, when you have hope and happiness and all that crap. You really make this hard, to get into your head," I smirked at her, knowing that it wasn't easy for her to get through to me. She glares at me and says. "I really wouldn't be smirking if I were you because, you didn't find the info that you were looking for." Now this is where I glare at her, and she smirks at me.

"Who changed the demon records info?" She still smirks at me, walking around me in a circle. I rolled my eyes, and tapped my foot impatiently, waiting for her to tell me.

"Well if I tell you, what would be the fun in that? It's better if you find out yourself, it makes it more shocking," and of course, she wouldn't tell me. Because, she really loves to annoy me. "But, I will give you a hint. The person who did it, is more closer than you think."
