Author's note.

This is an experiment for me...if people like it I have ideas on which direction this story could take. If I have no takers, I'll leave it as a one shot.

This is an AU story based in a modern setting. It has an MA rating. This is a darker Chise X Elias pairing. Chise is therefore older, grittier, and at Elias' mercy. Darker themes found inside, thus the rating. Pairings will include various forms for Elias, meaning beast form sex RIGHT from the get go. This chapter contains such interactions...so don't like? Don't read it. like it? Review/like/follow it. All give me encouragement. I don't own the original characters, just the plot and steamy extras...

Chapter 1

Chise Hatori huffed. High school was such a lonely place. She didn't fit anywhere. She was the only person in the whole school who didn't 'fit' with any of the cliques. Not the popular girls, of course, nor the super over achiever girls either. She wasn't sporty, or nerdy. Not the Arty kids, the musicians, the photography and film kids, or traditional geeks wanted anything to do with her.

Not one place for Chise Hatori to belong. But then again, she was used to that. You didn't get to be 17 and a ward of the state by having a place to belong. She had the nickname 'the sad orphan' at school, which was rather accurate. Her dad walked out on her as a child, taking her baby brother with him, and her mother had tried to kill her, and then committed suicide.

Such a shitty backstory, no? Couldn't get worse? Keep on reading. It get's even shittier.

No one would adopt her, despite being a cute little girl with bright green eyes and luscious red hair. Her adorable freckles and pale skin couldn't overcome the fact she was batshit crazy.

Oh yeah. Chise Hatori was unhinged. Understandably so, if you think about her life to date. Her therapist said her subconscious mind was materialising her childhood trauma as actual demons for her to deal with. Monsters with many limbs, eyes and teeth. Everyone also thought she was scratching, cutting and biting herself as a cry for help.

Feeling sorry for Chise yet? No? let's continue then.

As was the way with the school system, she was the one person that everyone agreed was fine to push and shove around. Bullying was wrong, unless it was Chise and then it was perfectly fine to steal her clothes in the gym or lock her in a store cupboard overnight. She deserved it for being a freak, apparently.

Chise didn't have any friends and wondered why she even existed in the first place. She got average grades, was always run down, groggy from the pills the doctor made her take to sleep, and in pain from whatever fresh wound she woke up with in the morning. She lived by routine and despite doing everything her therapist told her to, the monsters never vanished.

Chise looked out of the classroom window, having finished her maths' test and waiting for the bell to signal the end of the lesson. The day would then be over and she'd have to leg it through the school to avoid whatever fresh round of punishment was in store for her if she lingered too long.

The bell went and Chise moved with such agility that she really should have been given a spot on the school track team. She flung her black backpack onto her back and ran out of the classroom begore the bell finished ringing out. Her black leather shows were flat, ideal for running like this. Her long white knee socks, grey pleated skirt, white shirt, grey tie and blazer billowed with the wind she generated as she ran. Her choppy red bob flared out as she jumped over a low wall around the courtyard and saw the main gates up ahead. Chise nodded, making good time, and ran in a straight line towards freedom.

Fump.

Chise stumbled just before the main gate and felt her mind going numb. Her vision was blurred and the distinct feeling of the world having collided with the back of her head made her question why he hadn't fallen down yet. What…hit me…?

"Shit she's not out yet."
"Come on, quick, my car is round the corner."

"Shiiiiiit."

Her arms were taken and held across the shoulders of two unknown people at either side of her. Chise fought her mind's desire to fall into unconscious darkness and turned her head to see who had assaulted her this time.

Ah, how un expected? One of her classmates that considered themselves a 'true goth'. Soshou Uda grit his teeth as he helped to carry her staggering form out of the main gates and round the corner. His black hair was short, dishevelled, and he wore thick eyeliner around his dark brown eyes. He might be forced to wear the same uniform as everyone else, grey slacks in stead of the skirt the girls wore, but he used makeup to make his statement.

"…S…Soshou…why…where are we…"

"Shut up." He hissed at her and looked over her head to whoever held her other arm. "Hurry up. Before she comes round."

"Man this is such a bad idea."

"No. It's perfect. No one will miss her. Now come on!"

He's right…no one will miss me… Chise finally lost the fight to stay conscious just as she was bundled into the tiny boot of Soshou's car. "The rewards will be well worth her sacrifice." Her last memory before blacking out was the sadistic way be grinned at her, before snuffing out the light as he closed the boot. Everything went black after that…

"mm…nnnn…"

"Just in time Chise. Awake for the grand finale!" Chise heard Soshou's voice and snapped her green eyes open. The first thing she realised was the fact she was on her back, her wrists in shackles and chained apart above her head. The second thing she realised was her state of total undress. She craned her neck, bringing her chin to her chest to see she was naked. Her ankles were tied together with rope and her pale skin had strange symbols painted onto her flesh…with what she would soon realise was not red paint. She was in the centre of a white chalk circle on a concrete floor, and candles were scattered around what looked like a basement. She whimpered when she saw that not only were there dead chickens and pigs hanging, necks slit and blood pooling slowly into bowls surrounding her, but the walls were filled with the many eyes of the monsters her mind conjured. They were watching, but not attacking…yet…"Ready?"

"Yes Grand master."

Chise whimpered and looked left and right. Five people wearing long black hooded cloaks knelt around her, with Soshou sat on his hunches an inch from her head. He craned over to gleam down at her and wave a black leather bound book at her

"You should feel honoured Chise. My coven and I have been working our way through so many rituals and yet the one we desperately wanted to do was out of our reach. To summon the horned one."

"Wh-what do you mean?!" Chise shuddered and trashed against her bindings, to no avail. "P-Please just let me go. I won't tell anyone I swear. I-"

"You won't tell anyone because you're the final sacrifice." He smirked at how pale she looked and he tapped her nose playfully. "You see, we needed someone who we could sacrifice, who would be a virgin, and no one would miss. You can understand how our options were very limited. And then it occurred to me last month that you were everything we were looking for. No one would have touched you, and no one would bat and eye if you never turned up to school again."

Chise whimpered, her green eyes fixated on an athame he gestured with. Sharp, serrated and housed a black gemstone on the pommel. "Any last words?"

Chise turned her head to stare at the ceiling. So this would be it? Her final moment? From her life so far, what could she possibly say? She couldn't beg on behalf of her loved ones, as she had none. She couldn't threaten him with the cops, as no one would report her missing. She doubted he'd let her body turn up to incriminate him either. "Really? Nothing you want to say before we offer you up?" He seemed disappointed with her.

"…I don't want to die…"

"Wow. So profound." Soshou sniggered at her and lowered his athame to her throat. He led the rest of this coven in chanting something old and foreign to her ears. If she wasn't so scared and clinging to every last second of life, she might have wondered what language that was. He cut a long, thin slice just below her clavicles. Not a fatal wound, but still a painful one. Which made Chise wonder…how exactly was she to die?

Her attention was drawn to the terrified howling the walls were making. The things that tormented her, were afraid?

"Holy-fuck!"

The ground beneath her started to move and slither against her skin. At first she thought she might be laid on a bed of snakes, but every now and then something sharp would scratch at her skin. The coven chanted even more intently around her, spurred on by whatever was happening to Chise. She found that the more she thrashed, the more the she was caught and cut on whatever moved around her restrained body, so she stilled. "Here he comes! The Horned one! The King of Thorns!" The hooded men, who were probably all her classmates, all bowed as a black mass gathered at her feet. It rose up, twisting and writhing on itself until it towered over her.

this is it…I'm going to die…is that something my mind has come up with, or something they really have summoned?

Red eyes bore out from the dark mass and seemed to stare down at her. The Sibilant hissing that filled her ears made her fear it was the latter. Holy crap. Soshou actually summoned a demon huh? After all that talk at school he really did it…well shit.

Two large arms grew from the mass, the darkest shade of purple she'd ever seen and tipped with sharp black talons. They lowered to press to the writhing floor at either side of her head ominously. Chise was in full mental break down, when she heard laughter.

Soshou was cackling with glee, at the fact he'd summoned this creature, and she was about to be fed to it. He found this funny?

In that moment all her fear turned to blind rage. Never before had her misfortune been caused by an actual person she could blame. Soshou was defiantly guilty for her misery this time, so she had one powerful thought resonating deep in her chest. I'm taking you down with me damn it!

Chise turned her scowl up to the creature just in time to see the what looked like a veil of thorns part over it's mighty form. The dark tendrils slithered out of it's back and felt at the ground around her. A colossal white skull stared down at her. Crimson eyes glowed from the back of fathomless sockets, and two sets of horns sat upon his 'head' like a crown. One set were dark and spiralled up and outward, and the second set was white, thick and framed it's 'face' with pointed tips. It's body was covered in black fur and a pair of knees lowered to press at either side of her thighs. She was still panting and still glaring as he lowered his face. The creature opened his jaws and looked seconds away from using those sharp looking incisors to tear the flesh from her body.

"Wait!" Chise shouted with what little strength she had left and looked up at the creature with conviction.

She was more that a little surprised when the beast shut its jaws and turned its head to regard her with one of its crimson eyes. Not as surprised as Soshou and the coven was, apparently. it's...looking at me. Is it listening?!

"C-Can she do that?" One of the hooded figures called out in panic to their leader.

"No she can't." Soshou held the athame at a right angle from his wrist and bowed his head. "Mighty child of thorn, horned one, Pilum Murale, accept this offering and bestow your gifts upon your chosen ones." Chise panicked when the beast seemed to lift it's gaze to Soshou and growled in response. Oh no you don't arsehole!

"Hay? I'm talking to you, big guy." Chise was trembling, but she knew this was her last act, so she'd do it well. The creature tilted his skull once more to regard her. "You want me? Fine. You can have me. But they die first." Chise was still panting and looked him right in the eye as he watched her. "Come on? Don't you have standards where you come from? You want to bind yourself to these idiots?" She didn't even think as any reason she could piece together came spilling from her lips. "They'll use you to do something stupid, like make their cocks bigger so they don't feel so pathetic around girls. I mean I'm probably the only naked body they've ever seen, and they had to jump and knock me out to get my pants off." The demon's jaws opened and she could have sworn it huffed with amusement at her.

"Shut your mouth you bitch!" Soshou, more worried at how his new master seemed to be listening to her, than her insult itself. "Sacrifices don't talk back." He turned his athame hilt downward and prepared to bring his fist down to break his nose. "Now be quiet."

"W-where are the manners these days huh? Y-you're a gentleman aren't you? You wouldn't eat a girl before fulfilling her last request would you?" Chise chuckled nervously, unsure where this bout of bravery was coming from. Perhaps it as the adrenaline thundering through her veins? Yes, she wasn't brave, she was desperate. "Come on. The last thing you want is to be enslaved to any of them. They say you'd be their master, but I swear it will be nob magic and ego rubbing for you the whole time." His eye seemed to widen, and his jaws opened once more.

"And how would my existence be better if I were to be bound to you instead?"

Chise felt her heart hammer so quickly and with such force she thought it would leap out of her chest and into the creature's waiting mouth at any moment. Its voice was deep, gravelly and held such dark intent in its haunting tones. Somehow knowing the creature was sentient made him scarier than if he'd been a wild beast. That meant he wasn't going to eat her because he was hungry or ordered to, but because he wanted to.

"No nob, so no nob magic for a start." Chise blurted in a panic, and she could have sworn there was a chuckling undertone to the way he growled at her.

"That's it." Soshou was livid. "You don't need to be awake for this next part, bitch." Chise saw the pummel and knew she had pushed her luck. Chise yelped and closed her eyes as she prepared for the impact.

Instead she heard a wet cough above her head.

"…wha…?"

The sound of screaming caused Chise to open her eyes wide and look around the basement. All five men were being held against the far walls, by their necks, by living tendrils of black shadow. They all converged at his back, showing her that it was the demon that held them there, dangling and gripping the thorny appendages for dear life.

"You were saying?"

Chise gawked up at the creature. Well shit, this had gone in a very different direction to what she'd expected. Hope flickered in her green eyes at the prospect of getting to live.

"Well…I wouldn't abuse you like they would." She gulped, wishing she was quicker at thinking on her feet, or back as it were. "I mean, you must have things you want. Wh-what do you want?"

"…in all my millennia no one has ever asked me that." Chise gulped and shrugged as much as her chains would allow her to.

"Well that's kind of rude isn't it? Bringing you all the way here from…wherever…to do…whatever…without asking what you want?"

"Yes. I agree." The creature lifted it's might head and regarded the five whimpering men he held by their necks. "And normally I'm summoned by high mages, not children who wet themselves at the first sign of danger." Most of them had patches on their grey trousers showing they had indeed wet their pants.

Holy crap. This is really happening. He's actually considering choosing me over them, I think.

"Total disclosure? I want to live. I haven't done much of that so far so I really don't want to die here."

"That is very honest of you."

"I'm an honest kind of girl." Chise gulped and tried to look composed as the creature knelt over her naked, blood painted body. "M-My name is Chise, by the way. Chise Hatori. What…is your name?"

It hadn't escaped her notice that he seemed to respond to her being civil and polite to him. So by all means she would charm the hell out of him if it kept her breathing.

"I have had many names." The sound of gasping and something wet moving crept through the air around them. "Some of my masters have given me names. Titles. Ranks."

"Don't you have your own name?"

"If I did I don't remember it." He inclined his skull at her and narrowed those crimson eyes on her. "I have a name I prefer. From the last time I was here. I will give it to you if you make a covenant with me."

"Erm, what's one of those?" He barked with laughter, his jaws wide and his fur became tousled with the force of his mirth.

"You don't even know what you are doing, do you child?"

"Chise." She reminded him, wanting to keep the fact she was a living person and not an offering at the forefront of his mind. "And no, I don't."

"I will either consume you, and become bound to one of them, or consume them, and become bound to you. Forever."

"Well I vote for option number two. That means I'm alive, right?" He chuckled again and nodded his mighty skull.

"Yes. I will keep you alive and unharmed. But you will give me something in return." The creature lowered it's jaws and she could smell his rotting breath on her face. Chise fought the urge to gag in the name of not getting eaten.

"What do you want from me?"

"Total obedience." His voice hummed with gratification. "I will be the master, and you will be the slave. If I want you to dance, you will dance. If I want you to groom my fur or pull shards of bone from between my teeth, you will do so without complaining."

"OK. Sounds…doable." Chise grimaced at the idea of preening bits of victims from his jaws, but better that than to be the bits of flesh between his teeth.

"You will pander to my every need and curiosity." His jaws opened and his tongue licked at his many teeth hungrily.

"…what does that mean?" She felt her stomach turn. The excitement in his dark voice as he chuckled sent a shudder through her body.

"I means you get to live, which is what you really want is it not?" The demon seemed to incline his skull as if to raise a brow at her. "Are you in a position to refuse?" Chise looked down at her chained body, naked, painted with creepy blood symbols and prone beneath the knees of this horrifying creature.

"Nope, not really." Chise exhaled deeply, ever the realist, and forced a polite smile to her face. "So any other demands Master?"

"Just one." He honest to God shrugged at her, lifting his protruding rib cage as he did so. "A formality must be observed."

"…am I going to like this?"

"Probably not." He cackled darkly and lowered his hands to the floor below her armpits. Her arms were still chained up and out from her body. "I require blood."

"Well it's your lucky day. There are five donors against the walls." He chuckled deeply, amused by her desperate humour and lowered onto all fours above her. His teeth were right in front of her face, demanding her full attention. Even as they opened and his tongue slithered out she didn't allow herself to scream. Even though her every instinct told her to turn away, she didn't.

"I will consume them, of course, but our covenant requires I take blood that is pure."

"Ah shit." Chise blushed with an annoyed pout. "Is that what these arseholes meant by 'the sacrifice must be a virgin?'"

"I require the purest of blood to write the terms of our covenant onto your soul." He shifted his mighty weight and crawled down her body. "Normally I would harvest it from the corpse of the sacrifice, but as you are to live I have only one option left."

"…what…would that be?" Her voice became high pitched and wobbled in her throat. She couldn't look down past her chest because of her restraints, and he had already slithered past her navel. "Erm, wh-what are you-holy fuck!" He took hold of her ankles and lowered his jaws to bite through the rope with ease. He did so fluidly, and parted her ankles the moment he spat out her bindings. "Erm, h-hello? Wh-what are you going to do to me?" For the first time since she spoke to the demon her green eyes watered and she allowed her fear to rise to her tongue. It didn't still the beast however. He threw her legs open and took hold of the underside of her thighs before she could hope to snap her legs shut. He chuckled, amused at the resistance he felt as he pushed her knees up and apart.

"I told you Chise." Her name sounded unnatural coming from him. She didn't focus on that however, as the feel of his breath on her most intimate flesh overwhelmed her with fear. "I require your purest blood."

"S-still not understanding why you're-"

"Your hymen, Chise. I require the virginal flesh."

She strangled a scream in her throat. Had her hands been free she would have held her mouth, maybe even tried to crawl away from him. But she wouldn't do anything but grit her teeth and bare the stretching intrusion of his tongue as it forced it's way past her labia. The wet organ twisted and inched back and forth, never going too far past the entrance. The burning feeling made her sob and bit her lips to stop herself from begging him to stop. After all, this was the means by which she was going to get to walk out of this place in one piece, and not shredded along his jaws. The demon came back into view, the very tip of his tongue coated red. If anything Chise was disappointed. All that pain for hardly any blood?

"I-Is that all there was?" He chuckled and lowered his tongue to press against the skin between her breasts. "Erm, wh-hat are you-" Blue light shimmered on the floor around them and more of those dark tendrils grew up to encase them together in a prison of thorns. Her body pulsed and he she felt something like cold ice in her veins. Branching and seeking through her body. His red eyes were glowing and he was painting her chest in a deliberate way with his blood stained saliva. There was nothing sexual about it, even when the path he took slithered over a nipple or circled either mound. He seemed to retrace his steps several times before Chise arched her body against the floor. She trembled as something deep inside of her blossomed, like a beautiful rose bud opening for the first time. And yet it hurt, like something sharp and unwavering was taking hold of something deep inside her and gripping it tightly.

"It is done." He retracted his tongue and crouched over her quivering body. The thorn cage seemed to retreat as well, in a very final sort of way. Chise panted up at him, starting to go numb from the pain and questioning for a moment if it would have been better to let the beast eat her. She felt different on the inside. Like he'd put a piece of himself inside of her and she'd never be rid of it. "Now, when were you going to tell me you were a Surei Bega?"

"I…wh…what?" Chise blinked up at him, still panting and watched as he tilted his right eye towards her.

"A rare and useful thing. Many a mage would love to get their hands on you. And from the state of you, many lesser creatures have done so already."

"…the…the monsters…?"

"Chise? Do you even know what you are?" He seemed to teeter with excitement at the blank look on her tired face. "It matters not. You are mine now. And I will use you as I see fit."

"…promised."

"Hmm?" he lowered his skull to the side so she could speak to where his ear should be. "What was that?"

"…do…what you promised…" He turned his head and ghosted his incisors against her cheek.

"How delightfully wicked you are Chise. Fear not. It is already done."

She heard a slumping noise and turned her red head towards where he had pinned Soshou. Her green eyes widened and she swallowed the taste of bile back down her throat. Her classmate's body was grey, shrivelled and fixed in a horrifying silent cry. "I fed upon them all some time ago. You were very distracting, so I forgot to release them." He nudged her face with his snout to expose his neck to his seeking tongue. She trembled and used all her strength not to whimper when he licked the expanse of her neck, from her collar bone to her earlobe. "You have suffered greatly, haven't you Chise?" She didn't answer. Chise didn't take her eyes off the mummified husk of her classmate as the demon licked his way down her navel and back to the crux of her thighs. "Let me reassure you that I will be a very affectionate master. As long as you please me, I will please you."

Chise arched against the concrete floor and exhaled choppily as his tongue intruded once more inside her. "You really do taste sweet Chise." He spoke to her thighs as he slid his tongue between her labia and toyed with her sore flesh. "I won't share you with any other fae. This nectar will be mine alone. Isn't that right Chise?"

"Y-yes master." She struggled to get the words past the lump in her throat. She bit her bottom lip hard enough to bruise when he delved deeper with her. "A-Ah too much!"

"Not enough." He hummed, pressing his snout against her tresses and gorging himself on her fluids. "You are mine to command, remember. You cannot refuse me anything Chise." He caressed her with his tongue, inside and out, dragging it up over her slit, swirling the tip over her nub, and then explored the depths of her once more. The taste and feel of her inner walls was exquisite. Even the way she trembled as he forced her towards the height of ecstasy was pleasing to him. He rolled his tongue back forth, holding her under her knees to expose more of her sweet flesh to him. "Delicious Chise." He complimented her, tongue still deep within her and watching the way she reluctantly writhed in pleasure. "Surei Bega. So addictive." He pressed the bone of his snout just above the start of his teeth against her clit and nuzzled there as he lapped at her.

"MM-nnn-no I-I can't I-"

"Yes you will." He stated with confidence, sensing the building tide of pleasure about to froth over within her. All thanks to their new connection. "Don't fight it Chise. You have pleased your master, and now I will please you."

"B-but I-" she halted her complaining when he took his mouth and tongue from her. She looked up and saw him shuffling to kneel between her thighs. He still held the underside of her knees, and she seemed oddly dwarfed by the giant creature as he positioned himself against her. Chise didn't bother to ask what he was about to do. She wasn't stupid. The demon released one of her knees and reached down between them. Chained down like this Chise couldn't see him part his thick black fur to take hold of a large plum coloured cock. She knew it was coming however, and didn't flinch for any other reason that the stinging sensation of being stretched as he sank his length deep into her. Much deeper than his tongue had gone. "A-ah it-it hurts it-"

"The pain is momentary." He dismissed her pleas and rocked his monstrous hips forward. He hissed and opened his jaws up to the air, thoroughly enjoying himself at her expense. Chise whimpered and watched as this demon fucked her beyond all rational thought. He lifted her legs up and held her by her ankles. Wide and apart to give him better penetration.

"S-still stings." Chise gripped her fists above her head and tried so hard to ignore the wonderful tingling sensation trying to spark up from where they joined to the tip of her tongue.

"Allow me to help with that." He lowered his mighty head and his tongue slithered out once more. He never slowed the rhythmic pace of their rutting even as he swiped teasingly across her clit. Chise trembled as she was caressed by tendrils that this time never cut her with their thorns. They circled and kneaded at her breasts, working her nipples to hardened points, and caressing her ribs and arms as he focused intently on her lower half. "You're about to cum Chise." He warned her with a mocking tone. Her cheeks were flushed, her body was tense and she grit her teeth in defiance. It amused him that she was resisting the pleasure he knew she felt. He released her ankles and held the underside of her knees again. He pushed them down curve her back and open her up even more. His thrusts reached even deeper as he crouched over her, grinding her down into the floor. His jaws nudged at her cheek and he darted his tongue out to taste her parted lips. "There. Right there."

Chise howled with delight as she came so hard she felt dizzy from it. Her body trembled and she welcomed his continued thrusting as it prolonged her bliss. As she moaned the demon slid his tongue into her mouth and tasted her. The fleeting fizzing feeling of completion made her sigh, and she then realised that he was caressing the tip of her tongue almost tenderly. Chise came down from her high and thankfully didn't have to accept this odd gesture for much longer. "CH-Chise!" He howled up at the roof and pumped his hips into hers. She watched as his red eyes vanished for a moment and his breathing rasped sluggishly. She'd never had sex before, but she imagined that all men looked like that after they came. Human or demon. Mouth open, breathing laboured and with an air of total satisfaction about them. "…thank you."

Clank.

The shackles above her head opened and red eyes watched her intently. "I enjoyed that immensely."

"I can tell…" Chise squirmed, feeling stickiness across her thighs. He hadn't even come out yet and she was slick with juices. "It feels like a lot of…erm…stuff came out."

"I produce a lot of semen in this form." He chuckled and with a wet noise he finally withdrew from her. More liquid poured slowly from her and she shuddered. "In future I will make sure we have provisions to quickly and comfortably tend to your cleanliness afterwards."

"…" Chise slowly sat up as he crawled back off her. She saw a flash of his massive purple cock just before he folded it back to the safety of his fur. In future? He wants to do that again?! she held her own wrists and watched the creature warily.

"Not that there will be quite as much ejaculate next time. I will use a more refined form in future."

"Refined?" Chise flinched when his tendrils and fur cloak closed over his entire body, skull and all. The massive creature seemed to shrink and before she knew it she was looking at a 7ft man. He still had a skull for a head, with a long snout and fearsome teeth, but the size of his head was much smaller than it had been. There was only one pair of horns now, brown and twisting, with golden tread holding a red veil in place behind him. These same golden threads looped below his purple neck. He wore a 3 piece suit, made of black leather shoes, slacks, a white dress shirt and a black vest. He wore a long black long sleeved cloak and offered one of his pristine looking white gloved hands to her. The other hand held a wooden polished walking stick.

"Come Chise. Let me see our home and take you to rest there." At first Chise raised her hand to accept the gesture of help. But then she swatted it and scrambled to her feet with a huff. The sting of her loins reminded her why she was cross.

"You're telling me would could have had sex with you like that, but instead you demon humped me?!"

His red eyes flashed and he snarled a her. Chise gripped her fists by her sides and pouted. "I just…maybe it wouldn't sting so much if you had been a normal size."

"I assure you my dear that my size remains constant, as that organ only has one function for me."

"…so next time…it will be just as big…?"

"Indeed." He chuckled. Chise absentmindedly thought he sounded more like a gentlemen from a period drama with the way he spoke now. His attire helped with that image as well. "And trust me when I say there will be many next times."

"Why?" Chise held her elbows and caught the sight of the dead bodies in the corner of her green eyes. "I'm grateful you didn't accept me as a sacrifice and that I get to live, but why did you?" Chise remembered how he lowered his jaws to devour her the moment he saw her. Had she not spoken up Chise knew he would have killed her without hesitation.

"You were polite and amused me." The horned creature chuckled at her baffled expression and took his cloak off. He didn't ask before wrapping it around her bloody and dripping form. Chise eagerly took hold of it and closed it around her. Any barrier was a welcome one at the moment. "I have been summoned, bound, used and imprisoned many times. But my last master taught me many things. Including what it would be like to be respected, though he didn't respect me himself." He pressed a hand to her lower back and walked her towards the stairs at the back of the basement. "I cannot refuse a summoning, but I can choose who to bind myself to. You…surprised me. It has been many centuries since anyone has done so. You also smell amazing." He inhaled deeply hear her red hair and chuckled. "I didn't know why until I tasted you."

"Are you going to explain what a slay beggy is?"

"Surei Bega? Not unless it becomes necessary." He chuckled again and walked them out of an old warehouse. There was a car outside, Soshou's no doubt, and the demon turned to look down at her.
