FOR THE LOVE OF A DEMON

chapter 13: An Angel's Grace

"I swear guys I'm fine too much time with psycho commandments really made me slightly vengeful and crazy but I'm good,"

Taro rolled his eyes at his sister's smile knowing that if it wasn't for him she would've fallen to her death.

Or at least serious injury.

"Before we drink Meliodas can we talk to you for a sec," Taro said and raised a hand when Ahmya stood up to go with them. "Mimi stay here. It's nothing serious."

Ban started cracking up and spilt some of the food.

"Mimi?!"

The Kin and Meliodas stepped outside for a second as Ahmya and Ban started their little (loud) banter. 

Duke snapped his fingers and put up a barrier spell so no one could listen in on their conversation.

"I think My is starting to remember him,"

Meliodas stayed his usual stoic self but nodded his head.

 "The upcoming battle might be too dangerous for her is she still believes she has all 8 hearts of hers,"

Duke being the slow one he is raised his hand. "Can someone explain to me her curse again."

"Originally it was every time Elizabeth died she would suffer a heartbreak so bad it would destroy her heart, but King Lucifer before closing hell's gates to the goddess race and demon race managed to change it. The curse was too strong take away he could barely alter it so something had to be sacrificed and since it was a curse that focussed on her love for Elizabeth, the sacrifice was her memories of her the ones she loved,"

"Kirito and Akari," Duke nodded. "I understand now. If he wanted to break the curse he would have sacrificed all her memories but that wouldn't be good, no, not at all and every time someone mentions their names or memories regarding them she forgets about it completely. Interesting, very interesting-"

Duke let out a grunt because Shane had elbowed him hard in the gut. "Dude you're rambling."

"It's Duke, not Dude and you call us friends," Duke pouted and turned away.

Shane put on a sweet smile before pushing up his sleeves and trying to attack him luckily Daniel was there to hold him back. Taro sighed and turned to Meliodas, hopefully, the only reasonable, to see him smiling softly at the small scene.

"I think her remembering is King Lucifer's spell wearing off so the next time Elizabeth dies a piece of her heart won't be destroyed the whole one will," Taro put his hand on Meliodas' shoulder. "Are you sure you can do this. I don't want you doing something that you will regret."

"This is what must be done," he said through the noise of the kin's loud argument.

Meliodas worried for Taro's mental state as he nodded seriously but Meliodas could see the irk marks appearing one by one before they covered his face. Taro smiled at Meliodas before he was joining in on the fight.

"YOU BRATS THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN BEHAVE FOR EVEN FIVE MINUTES!"

Meliodas sighed and was about to enter the tavern when the door smacked in his face and Ahmya tackled the four off Hawk's mom.

"WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS DOING?!"

Meliodas entered the tavern with a red mark on his forehead causing Ban to let out a loud laugh as the blood dripped down from the Captain's nose.

Ahmya sat in a comfortable embrace of her brother's arms, the older resting his head on her shoulder.
