Well, this is not only my first Demon Diary fic but also my first shounen-ai. I hope you all like it. Now to point out a couple of things. In case you find somewhere where it says Runoff, my spellchecker decided it didn't like the name Raenef and had to change it. I think I changed them all back but just in case. Well please read and review and please don't flame me, I'm toasty enough.

Beyond Redemption : Chapter 1
The sun was bright in the cloudless sky over the castle with no name. A light wind ruffled the new green leaves and birds chirped enthusiastically in the branches. In a green clearing, a cleric took repeated stabs at an invisible foe with a make shift sword while under the watchful eye of a female knight.
Inside, the Demon Lord Raenef sighed disappointedly and determined that he'd probably never see the sun again. Not if the Grumpmeister has anything to say about it anyway.
So it was with a frown that Raenef looked down at the book in front of him and re-read the passage the sixth time. After a moment he sighed again and fidgeted uncomfortably in his seat. Oh, why did I have to make that deal with Eclipse? Now the only way I will ever get outside is if I can learn this. He looked down at the passage "50 Rules of Demon Lord Etiquette - Condensed" that spanned the next ten pages and had every big word passably imaginable. So far, all he learned was that the more desperately you needed to learn something, the more likely it was to elude you altogether.
Raenef sighed, put his chin in his hands and re-read it again. Seventh times the charm... I hope.

Do you have any idea how selfish your being? Eclipse could feel the smile trying to tug at his lips as he watched his master fret adorably over the book. Of course, I do. He answered his internal voice, but he needed to learn them anyway. His sarcastic inner voice gave a snort, Oh, come off it! You don't even know half those rules! I don't need to, I'm not a Demon Lord. Your right, his conscience agreed smartly, your just a demon lord's selfish and horny mentor. Oh shut up!
Another sigh brought Eclipse out of his internal argument and he turned to watch Raenef pout and tilt his head cutely, trying to sneak a look outside without Eclipse catching him.
Eclipse cleared his throat and drew the sheepishly startled aqua eyes to him. "How are you coming along, Master Raenef?"
"Okay, I guess." Raenef looked down at the book infront of him disappointedly. Eclipse watched longingly as a few amber tresses slipped unnoticed from behind Raenef's ear to gently caress his cheek. Oh, how I wish... Eclipse thought as his mind floated away on a wave of sensual images.
"Umm... Eclipse?"
Eclipse gave himself a little shake and looked over to his student. "Yes, sire?"
"What does ... in-core-ij-able ... mean?" Raenef asked slowly then looked up at Eclipse.
Eclipse sighed at the horrible pronunciation. "Let me see." He walked up to the chair and leaned over Raenef's shoulder to examine the word. The sugar-and-spice scent of the demon lord made him wonder if Raenef's skin would taste as tantalizing. "Incorrigible, my Lord, means beyond redemption."
"You mean like something you can't forgive someone for?" Raenef asked.
"Yes, Master Raenef. Exactly."
Raenef smiled up at him brightly, obviously pleased with himself. Eclipse couldn't help but smile back. They stayed like that for a few moments, each simply smiling at the other, attending to their own thoughts.
This could go on forever... Eclipse's inner voice groaned. Why don't you just kiss him and pledge your undying love to him while you stand there grinning at him like an idiot?
Eclipse could feel the blush creeping into his normally pale cheeks. He turned away, his long black robe swirling around his lithe figure, and cleared his throat. "Are you hungry, Master? I could go procure us some snacks, if you like."
"Yay! Snack break!" Raenef cheered, clapping excitedly and bouncing in his seat.
One glimpse of his bouncing lord and Eclipse decided it was definitely time to take a break. With a soft "go" he was safely in the kitchen.
He let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding and dropped heavily into a chair. Eclipse rested his head in his hand, his long ebony bands falling into his face, and shook his head. A smile played on his pale lips. That boy will be the end of me.
- - -
Damn! I was so close! Raenef pouted and got up to stretch. He closed his eyes as he raised his arms above him in a cat-like release of tension. The feeling of Eclipse leaning over him came to his mind and he smiled. Eclipse so close, barely touching him in his study of the book. Those long onyx bangs falling unnoticed to tickle the side of Rae's neck. It had been all he could do not to shudder at the closeness, to deny himself from closing the gap between himself and his mentor and placing a soft kiss on the delicate pale cheek.
Raenef blushed as he realized the effect these thoughts had on him and hurriedly decided he must find something to occupy himself.
To the window he went to look down on the unsuspecting knight and cleric. He leaned his elbows on the window sill and watched amusedly as Chris took a hit to the head from a rather enraged looking Erutis. Runoff couldn't hear what she was yelling but he knew it couldn't be good as Chris looked terrified. He kicked and struggled to get the collar of his tunic out of Eru's death grip as she dragged him out of the courtyard.
As the racket lessened Rae opened the window to let the cool afternoon breeze in then leant his elbows on the sill to watch the birds in the nearby trees. What a beautiful day. Too bad I can't be outside in it.
- - -
Eclipse disappeared from the kitchen with a plate of cookies and reappeared in the study where he nearly fell over in shock.
Right in front of him, inches away, Raenef was bent over, sleepily watching the clouds in the window. The azure and silver robe clung to the young lords thin frame enticingly.
Do it! Eclipse's inner voice screamed at him as he realized the X-rated thoughts and ideas that filled his mind. You have to admit that is a rather compromising position, not to mention a very attractive one. Who told you you could say anything?
Eclipse gave himself a little shake and regained his properly demonic demeanor. He reached out with one finely manicured hand to tap the demon lord on the shoulder but, seemingly of it's own accord, it stopped over his back to lightly trace his nails down the robe to the small of Raenef's back.
With a shiver of pleasure the young demon lord came alive under Eclipse's trembling palm. At first the boy didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary but then realization hit home that someone was standing behind him and he whirled, blue-green eyes wide. "Who-"
Just as quick as Eclipse had retracted his hand, he was reaching out again to catch his faltering lord. Raenef, his balance completely lost was tipping over backward, his arms whirling, trying to gain a hold on something. Eclipse caught a wrist and gave it a yank, trying to right the demon lord.
Obviously fate had it out for them because instead of gaining his balance, the pull had only served to change the course of Raenef's fall.
Abruptly, the boy's weight fell against Eclipse's chest and the long forgotten tray of warm cookies was taking to the air. Eclipse threw out his arm to catch at a chair but the chair slid out of his grasp and the two demons ended up in a heap on the floor with cookies raining down upon them.
Gray spots danced in Eclipse's vision and he reached up with a groan to rub the back of his head where it had connected with the hardwood floor. Raenef was shaking his head slightly trying to regain his bearings, and sitting up to half straddle Eclipse's hips. Another groan escaped Eclipse's lips but for an entirely different reason.
"Oh no, Eclipse, are you hurt?" Raenef leaned forward to get a better look at his mentor's face.
He has no clue what he is doing to me! Eclipse told himself frantically, while his inner voice was rolling in laughter. Why don't you just ask him to kiss you better!?
"I am fine, my lord." He said, propping himself up on one elbow.
The young demon lord still looked worried but he smiled brightly then reached down and removed a cookie from the folds of Eclipse's dark robe. "Hey," he grinned innocently, "you brought cookies!"
Raenef began to munch while Eclipse fell back to the floor in something resembling laughter.
To be continued...
A/N: Alright, I know what I want to happen in this story but I've only read up to volume three. If someone can tell me a little more about Meruhasae. I will either use her or have to make up a character (which I'd prefer not to do). Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanx!
