The Demon's Lover (Meliodas)

Chapter 3

Meliodas took a step back "W-wait I can't-"

Ayano jumped forward kicking Meliodas in the chest, he held his place and jumped back from her.

"Kick his ass Ayano!" Ban shouts

"I plan to" Ayano says angrily

"Hold on" Meliodas puts his hands out "the last time we saw each other-"

"Save it bastard!" Ayano shouts running to attack him

Meliodas blocks her hits and kicks, he knew why she was angry and he couldn't blame her, so he didn't want to hurt her.

"Come on 'captain' it's just a friendly fight" Ayano says annoyed

"...alright then" Meliodas agrees hesitantly

The two start fighting for real, holding back their magical powers. Meliodas was still going easy on her though so he didn't hurt her.

Elizabeth, who's shrunk, looks at Ban and King "Do you all know that girl?"

"Yeah Ayano is a Sin" Diane tells her

"Really?" Elizabeth questions happily "that's great, we found another one"

"Yeah but Ayano is..." King thinks for a minute "well she ran away from the sins"

"Why?" Elizabeth asks

"Her and the captain had a fight" Ban replies "we don't know the exact details of it but we do know some of it. We do know that she and the captain were a thing apparently and even after they broke up Ayano stayed with him"

Diane sighs "one day Ayano just snapped and was tired of following the captain, she told him she wanted to leave and he didn't want her to"

"But why?" Elizabeth asks "girls are sensitive, id imagine she was in a lot of emotional pain after breaking up"

"She was" King stares at the two "it didn't start as a fight, just one day Ayano went to the captain and told him she was going to leave the sins and go out on her own for awhile, but the captain said no and commanded her not to leave. That's when the fight started, she told him it was her choice and he yelled at her saying she couldn't leave him"

"Ayano got angry because the captain was being selfish, commanding her to stay when it was her choice to leave" Diane explained "she even said she'd come back, but the captain didn't care, he didn't want her to leave at all. It turned into an all out argument until we heard the captain scream enough and then Ayano ran out of the room with a cut on her cheek"

"Turns out, the captain pulled his sword out on her to scare her but he ended up cutting her instead" Ban finishes "And since that day we haven't seen her"

"That's awful" Elizabeth says sadly "I bet sir Meliodas was still in love with her, so he couldn't bare to part from her. I understand the feeling"

"Regardless Ayano was the only member on the team that could keep up with the captain at full strength" Ban explains "and the only one who could drink me under the table"

Elizabeth looks back at the fight in amazement "wow, I didn't know lady Ayano was that incredible"

Meliodas and Ayano stood across from each other panting.

Meliodas smiles and chuckles "looks like you can still keep up with me, I've missed being able to spar like this"

"Of course, I always have always will" Ayano replies "until you're below me"

Meliodas smirks "we'll see about that princess"

"Oh god I hate that nickname" Ayano laughs

Meliodas springs forward going for an attack again but Ayano dodges and kicks him into the arena causing crack.

Meliodas stands up and laughs "oh yeah, I've missed this"
