In which Glax and Succubis are trolls, Shiki's just horny and Ritsuka needs a break.

Shiko academy the very next day.

While he couldnt quite deny that he hadn't somewhat enjoyed the dream he had about Rem's darling butterfly last night, though the thought of that fallen angel being there with them was enough to make him shrivel up a little (a lot) inside in more ways than one, he knew that Ritsuka was not the type of person who would ever do something like cheat on a person while she truly was in love with them, and besides he had no desire to come between her and his childhood friend. He looked up just just in time to see Ritsuka and Rem walking side by side together through the school gates.

He noticed that even from this distance that she looked very tired.

But where was that exorcist?

"Are you alright Ritsuka? You looked like you barely slept at all last night."

Ritsuka blinked looking up at the concerned eyes of Rem, stifling a yawn behind her hand as best she could.

"Oh its nothing, I just had a wierd dream last night. Sorry to make you worry about me."

She frowned thinking back to the dream from last night wondering what about it had made her wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Even then the images had been blurry at best, a bright burning mad haze of gold, purple and orange moving in and out of her vision. Lindo had almost made her stay home from school but then Roen had piped in saying that exams were coming up and she couldn't afford to take a day off and surprisingly enough Lindo had listened to him, though that was probably because of the look from their mother.

She was interrupted from her thoughts by the tender touch of her beloved.

"Rem?" She asked looking up at the other. He was looking at her intently frowning slightly before his eyes widened in shock.

"What's wrong?"

He looked at her for a few more second before a look of concern mixed with anger came over his face

"I don't mean to alarm you, Ritsuka but you seemed to have been touched by a sucubus last night."

"W-what?!."

"It will be alright," the blond devil assured her pulling her close to him. "But.. do you remember correctly what kind of dream it was?"

"I..." As she thought about it and as she did her face was soon stained with crimson.

"Ritsuka?" The blond devil asked confused as she hid her face against his chest. It didn't take him long to know why she was acting that way.

Whatever happened they wouldn't touch her again he would make sure of it. Urie lingered in the shadows nearby eyes narrowing at what he had just heard.

Shiki meanwhile was sitting on a sofa in the third library with only Mage for company, standing at the far end of the room and as far away from the creep as possible whom was currently chuckling to himself as he recalled Ritsuka's moans from that deliciously sinful dream last night wondering what sort of punishment he would receive once he told Rem the details about it.

Later that same night.

Rem glanced up from Ritsuka towards the window his eyes narrowing in anger. He looked across the room over to Roen still in his dog form who nodded, jumping up onto the bed beside the peacefully slumbering girl as he exited the room.

"Is something wrong Rem?" Maria asked glancing at the blond walked into the kitchen turning towards Lindo. Were they going to fight again?

Teal eyes met Lindo's light turquoise ones who was sitting on the table who looked like he was thinking the same thing as he did and he nodded at him. The two of them bickered at most things but knew when to draw the line when it was necessary. Wordlessly he got up from the table and flowed Rem out the door, a hand reaching into his pocket touching the rosary. While He had lost faith in the Exorcists society he still needed to use these tools.

Maria watched them frowning slightly as she looked out the window. She had felt the same thing last night as well.

"Maria-san please wait with Ritsuka."

She nodded in understanding eyes narrowing slightly as she made her ways towards her daughter's room, Roen wagging his fluffy tail as she came in. She patted the devil hound once on the head before sitting beside her daughter on the bed.

Hidden in the shadows of a tree a figure watched the half human girl and the prince, frowning slightly at the sight of the two of them so close together. She thought that the dream of that boy and the fallen angel had been enough but clearly she had been wrong and It would seem to take much more then just that to drive the two of them apart.

She watched as the girl fell asleep and the prince exiting from the room she stepped away ready to go back to the devil world to inform Glax about this setback.

That was until she heard the click of a sword breaking the silence of the human night behind her. Before she could get away she felt the blade slice into her skin cutting deep.

She landed heavily on the opposite side of the road black blood dripping down her shoulder staring into the fiery eyes of Rem Arlond.

"Do not go near Ritsuka ever again."

"What makes you think you can defeat me when you can't even beat that boy?" She goaded at the other not helping it with the quip.

She moved to et away but too late she had linger too much as a blue shining light surrounded her keeping her in place.

"Do you know her?" Lindo asked looking over at Rem who was now standing a little ways behind him. While Lindo still had his own grievances towards Rem he would push them aside when Ritsuka was involved. Beside driving the two of them apart would only make Ritsuka sad as the two of them were truly in love with each other. He would not ruin that for her, he loved her too much to want to be the one responsible for the tears running down her face.

"Yes... she's Urie's mother."

"Do not talk of that mans son when I am in earshot." she hissed slashing her hand through the blue. The exorcist trap seemed to flicker but the sword wound had made her weaker then she thought and she crumpled back onto the hard gravel.

Lindo's eyes widened at what he had just seen.

"What?!"

"I'm afraid that kind of spell will not work that well on devils as strong as her."

"If that's the case why did he send you guys then?" Before Rem could answer him the Succubis spoke up.

"Because Glax is a fool and a coward, sending others to do his work for him."

"What was..."

". . .I hold no true loyalty towards that father of yours, in truth I feel that he is underserving of the throne. If I had held true loyalty towards him then it I wouldn't have made that dream so pleasant for her now would I my prince?" Devils could lie like it was the truth but not to ones of their own kind.

He moved a little towards Lindo who frowned at him before releasing the other from his spell. The Succubi backed away slightly eyes fixed wearily on Lindo before she spoke.

"I await your return prince together with your beautiful queen. You had better treat her well." She said as she disappeared into the night.

"Believe me I intend to," Rem swore at the two of them as he went back into the house, Lindo following close behind.

He supposed he wouldn't pore holy water around the house tonight.

Before he could inform Rem of the dream Shiki was left inside a box by Urie for two days. Surprisingly enough that seemed to satisfy him far more then what Rem would ever do.

If your wondering why Roen is there its because this takes place at the aftermath of Rem's good devil end with a bit of Roen's good human end mixed in where he does not fall in love with Ritsuka and only resolves to protect and her mother once he finds out the truth of Maksis' last words to him.
