The Demon of the Night (Akura-ou x OC)

That Type Of Drunk

"Lord Tomoe!"

The sudden shout made me jump up and look towards the sliding door, just waiting for someone to finally come in. It was a demon, not a really strong looking one but sure as hell could take me on with no problems. He bowed his head and paced to stand next to Tomoe, whispering something in his ear. As from his expression, i could tell that Akura-ou was upset that he didn't know what their conversation was about. After all, he and his brother never had any secrets between each other. When the demon stood up again, Tomoe followed him out the room and left me and Akura-ou alone.

"Hmm, Imma boreeeeeed~"

I pouted as i rolled on my belly and watched the demon that was with me in the room. Akura-ou once more seemed amazed of my actions, laughing histericaly.

"What? Why are you laughing at meh? You so mmeeeaaaannn~"

I pouted once more, and then when he would least expect it, i quickly stood up and jumped at him, hugging him tightly.

"Imma sleepy..."

I mumbled and kept on hugging the demon, that now stopped laughing and looked down at me. Then, i felt something caress my hair. It felt calming the the feeling had me soon slowly closing my eyes and loosening my grip in a complete relaxation. I sighed contentedly and snuggled my face in the crook of his neck, almost purring from the bliss i was feeling.

"Hmm, so you are that type of a drinker."

He exclaimed, looking me up and down, studying my movements and expressions the whole time.

"What~? What tipe of... *hic* ...drunker~?"

"You know, the one that gets all cudly when they're drunk."

He chuckled as I changed my position to a more comfortable one. While AKura-ou was sitting up, i was resting my head on his lap and he was still playing with my hair, while also now using his other hand to stroke my cheek. Feeling much more comfy than before, i started drifting off to the wonderful world of sleep and dreams. At least, i thought i would finally be able to get my sleep. But No!

"HEY!"

I shouted and lightly punched Akura-ou shoulder when he lifted me bridal style and started walking in a direction of a garden. I looked at him with pleading eyes, trying to tell him i want to rest, but he would still keep on carrying me there, till we arrived.

"Why are we here? We were here nearly the whole day >.>"

I nudged his head.

"Yeah, but you haven't seen THIS!"

I was confused. What did i not see here? My body was finally gently placed on his lap by Akura-ou, whom was now sitting with me on a big rock in the middle og the garden.

"Look..."

He whispered in my ear, his hot breath on my skin send shivers down my spine. I looked at what he was referring to, yet i didn't think what i saw was still reality. Right in front of us was a little pond, with an islet in the middle of it and on the islet a single ashikaga tree. The sight was even more gorgeous now, that it was already night and the moonlight shone onto the tree which was reflected in the pond.

"Now tell me, wasn't it worth not letting you sleep so that you could see this?"

He whispered once more. I just simply nod my head, captivated by the fairness of the sign that i wasn't even able to say anything, just look. For the rest of the evening, we chatted a bit more about all kind of things. Slowly, i became sober and what i was saying made much more sense than before. We stayed like that, watching the scenery and conversing until we get disturbed by a certain fox demon.

"Brother..."

He started, looking me in the eyes.

"You should know better than anyone else how fragile humans are. They need constant care and love. Say, don't you think that Akane should go and rest for the day? Humans need to do so, or they won't have energy for the upcoming day."

Akura-ou just sighed and when he wasn't aware, Tomoe came closer and picked me up, carrying me all the way to my room with his older brother following us and growling at Tomoe, demanding he hands me back ver to him.

"Night."

They said, and i replied with a 'Good night' to them. After they left, i was finally able to get some sleep.
