The Akuma Prince

Ch. 2

Masaru went into the guild and sat down at a table. A couple of girls came down the stairs as usual. Masaru knew that they were probably coming back down from pleasuring a couple of guys.

"Hey Masaru how are you doing?" One of the girls asked.

"Same as yesterday and the day before." He said.

"Are you sure we can't pleasure you some how?"

"I'm sure ladies." Masaru lifted his hand up in, friendly declining.

"Ok." Both the girls walked away.

Masaru ordered a drink and waited for it to come. A mysterious person in a cloak came in and talked to a lady at the desk. Masaru's drink was given to him as he took a drink.

"Masaru?" The cloaked figure walked up to him and had a female voice.

"Who's asking?" Masaru put his cup down.

The woman sat down across from Masaru. "My name is Chiyoko Nyo...Nōmin, Chiyoko Nōmin."

"Hmm...what ever you say miss, why do you want me?" Masaru asked.

"I need your help." Chiyoko said.

"Why me, I'm only a simple human." Masaru leaned back and spread his arms out.

"You wield the holy fire sword Clarent."

"Yeah so."

"I need you to help me stop my father from marrying a man I don't love." Chiyoko explained.

"And why would a father do that unless you are..." Masaru leaned forward towards Chiyoko "unless you're a Nyotei, which would mean you are a princess."

"Oh uh...I guess you've found out." She blushed and Masaru sat back down.

"So who is the king of the prince you are marrying?" Masaru asked.

"It's Bōkun, the king rumored to have a queen that had a child with a secret lover."

"Oh"

"Yeah, rumor has it that the child is alive and walking around the kingdom but since the king doesn't know what he looks like he can't send guards to kill him." Chiyoko explained.

Masaru looked down to the ground.

"You ok?" Chiyoko asked.

"At my birth I remember darkness, yelling, and blood."

"Blood of who?"

"My mom."

"How do you remember that, you said you were just a baby."

"I'm not sure...I just do." Masaru finished his drink.

"Will you help me Masaru?"

"Yes of course." Masaru stood up.

"Thank you so much." She also stood up.

"You're welcome."

"Do you know anything about your father?" Chiyoki asked.

"I don't know, maybe the orphanage knows something but they won't let me in." Masaru walked outside.

Chiyoki fallowed him "Why not?"

"I may have burned a hole in their building as a kid."

"Oh you naughty boy." Chiyoki smirked.

"Yeah I guess." Masaru said "Can you try to get my papers?"

"I'll try." Chiyoki walked to the orphanage and talked to the headmaster.

"Can I help you miss?" He said.

"Can I have the files to Masaru?"

"Why do you want him, he's just a juvenile delinquent who destroys property."

"I need his files." Chiyoki said firmly.

"What is your relationship with him?"

"I...uh..am his...girlfriend." She had to think quickly.

"Oh boy, I'll be back." The headmaster walked away into a room.

Chiyoki waited as the headmaster came out with a small file.

"We don't have much on him, some guy found him in the woods with a paper saying who he was."

"Thank you."  Chiyoki took the file and walked out.

"I see you got it." Masaru said.

"Yeah." Chiyoki handed the file to Masaru.

Masaru looked through the file and dropped it.

"What's wrong?" Chiyoki picked the files up and saw a necklace that had the official royal seal. She read the paper that was beneath it.

^This child is the rightful heir to the throne of Venice. His name is Masaru Ten'nō^

"You're a Ten'nō, wait...you're the son of the queen who had a secret lover." Chiyoki gasped.

"Well I guess you finally found out son." A man in a black suit and tie wearing a red shirt beneath, the clothes he wore were definitely not of this time.

"Who are you?" Masaru asked.

"I'm your father, Takashi Akuma." He smiled.

"And why are you here now?" Masaru sounded angry.

"Oh come on your mother got what she wanted, she came down to hell with me. It was a shame though...the blood was the same color as my bosses skin." Takashi laughed.

"You killed my mom?"

"Yes I did, and she went to hell with me...just like she wanted." He smirked.

"I'm going to kill you!" Masaru brought out Clarent.

"Let's do what I'm good at...making deals."

"What kind of deal?"

"If you can help Chiyoki and get her out of the arranged marriage, you can kill me."

"And if I don't?"

"You die a thousand deaths." Takashi held his hand out to Masaru "Deal?"

"Deal" Masaru shook Takashi's hand.

"Good, I'll see you after the wedding...da dum dada da dum dada" Takashi hummed the wedding march.
