Opposites attract

Meeting

After reading a few Amaimon fanfics, I was inspired to write one of my own. Please review and let me know if you like it. I hope you do. Little disclaimer, I do not own any of the images you see here.

His rattling chains echoed throughout the fourth layer of hell. He watched as his imprisoned souls suffered endlessly. Where before, he would pay no mind to them, bored by them in the past. Now, he felt just as helpless and trapped as they did.

If the painful muzzle on his face had been removed, he would have chuckled bitterly at his current state of defeat. The heavy iron cuffs weighed down and cut deep into both his wrists and ankles. But this pain didn't compare to the piercing agony he felt in his chest.

He came upon a tall boulder and Amaimon slowly dragged himself towards it. He rested his back against the large rock and slowly slid against it, until hitting the cold ground. He sat quietly and un-moving for what seemed an eternity. Deep in thought, the only thing that broke him of his trance were his unexpected tears that hit the floor. The greedy demon brought his knees upward and hid his face as best he could.

If any of his siblings were to see his current sorry state, surely they would kill him and take his domain. Take his familiars and claim to be the new king of Earth. The thought of it didn't faze him at all. For he would've gladly traded it in a heart beat, if he could see her smile once more. But he had to let her go. If he hadn't done what he did, she'd be dead.

"If I never see you again, that's alright. As long as you're alive, as long as you're safe, then it's all that matters." He whispered to himself. Who knows for how long his father would continue his punishment this time. Perhaps all eternity. "Doesn't matter." He whispered again. "I'd betray him a thousand more times if I had to. For you."

-.-.-.-.- Three human years ago -.-.-.-.-

She sat in class listening to her teacher drag on and on about something she only faintly heard. Staring out the window next to her, she gazed upon the trees. The girl focused on the leaves billowing softly in the wind. With a loud ring, the bell sounded that class was over, and the girl sighed heavily. She had not paid attention to the last ten minutes of class and now, she would be confused on the homework.

She started gathering up her things and slung her backpack over her right shoulder. When she turned round, she came face to face with Rin. "Hey Aria." He smiled warmly at her.

With a welcoming smile, she replied, "Hey Rin, what's up?"

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with the guys and I. We're going to Mepphy land." Rin, since the first day the met, he had been sweet to her. The only one who didn't seem to treat her as an outcast. Always wanting to include her, whenever he and his friends went out, but she never understood why.

Rin Okumura and Shiemi Moriyama were the only two people Aria considered her real friends. She got along fairly well with Yukio and the others but never really connected with them. She felt like she didn't fit into their circle of friends nor the rest of the school. Aria was having a difficult time making friends and it seemed as though it was easier for her to make enemies. Therefore, she valued her friendship with Rin and Shiemi and didn't want to disappoint them.

"Uh, well I, won't it be awkward with all those people there? I mean I hardly know them and-"

She was cut off by the boy. "C'mon, how do you expect to make friends, when you shy away from everything?" He pouted and Aria couldn't help but faintly smile and give in.

"You sure? I don't want to be a bother." She awkwardly stared down at the floor and her grip on her backpack strap tightened.

Rin gave her a thumbs-up and his usual goofy smile. "I wouldn't be asking you if you were. C'mon, it's Friday! Let's start off the weekend right!"
