Her Guardian DEMON

Chapter 1

Chapter 1       

For what seemed to be the 100th time since the horrible battle ended, Haruka looked over at the cold Body lying on the ground not far away. It was the cadaver of her captor, her protector, her opposite in every way imaginable and the body of the only thing that had kept her from losing herself.

As much hatred as she felt at Vladamir for taking her away from her friends and her home, she knew that her hatred wasn't directed towards him anymore. He had been ordered to do what he had done. She knew he had only acted on those orders. In the time she had spent as his prisoner he had never been cruel to her. His words had often been harsh but they were no different than what he used when speaking with everyone else.

Before she even realized what she had done, Haruka was kneeling beside the body, her hands hovering over his chest. She had never attempted to heal anyone who was this far gone but still she searched deep in her mind for the power that would bring her onyx eyed captor back.

In her mind she went over every moment she had spent in Vladamir's presence, pulling each emotion that she had felt since the time she had seen him standing behind Beelzebub on adrengard which now seemed like a lifetime ago.

Fear, confusion, and hopelessness were the first few emotions she remembered upon meeting Vladamir while still in Adrengard. That hopelessness had never quite left her, even with the arrival of her most precious friends to save her. In the end, someone she cared about would have to lose.

Throughout her life she always wore a façade when she was around her friends and family Faking smiles and laughs around them, using the happy-go-lucky attitude as a mask she was a good actor. When she was brought to Castle Valentine though, all this changed. Vladamir had been able to see right through her game and pushed her true self to the surface. The more he interrogated her about her feelings and emotions, the stronger she felt in herself. Every layer of emotion that he tried to peel from her made her more resolved in those feelings. So while her feelings for her friends grew stronger with every interaction, so did some other unknown emotion.

Now, as she kneeled down next to the body of the man who had changed her more than anyone else had ever done, the determination she had felt the entire time she had stayed in Castle Valentine came boiling up inside her till she could feel the heat spread to her fingertips. She could not let the one person who had actually tried to really understand her die.

When Haruka heard a noise behind her she opened her eyes for the first time, expecting to see the same body lying on the ground in front of her. Instead, a barely healed body was under her hovering hands. For some reason, Haruka decided she didn't want Julius to see what she had been doing so she quickly moved the body behind a pile of rocks, leaving a spell to continue her work as she got up and walked over to Julius who was flexing the hand that had been broken not long ago by the same person she was now trying to heal.

"How are you feeling Julius?" Haruka asked, kneeling beside him while he tried to stand up.

"Good I think, thank you Haruka." Said Julius as he ran his hand down the place he had been stabbed earlier. "Where's Shinn?"

"He left a little while ago to help the others. We should probably go and see if we can help them at all. Can you walk?"

"Yes I think so, let's go." Julius said

As soon as they started heading towards her friends Haruka started to feel weaker. She hoped that she was strong enough to continue healing him even from this distance.

When finally Julius and her found their friends, the battles were finished and Ariel had just finished healing all the wounded. Haruka was grateful that Ariel had been there so she didn't have use much of her powers to heal the others. She knew that from this distance that the spell wasn’t doing much healing but she was hoping that having it there was at least sustaining the work she had done before Julius and her had left.
