Disclaimer: I do not own Junjo Romantica.

Thank you for all of your reviews.

I recently read the spin off manga series Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi; I have to say I really enjoyed reading them. The author has a real talent to keep me interested in what the characters want from each other, most romances I find the characters ungodly annoying but she made me like ALL of them. In Junjo Romantica there was one person I didn't like.

I even like the supposed antagonist of the story, (not giving anything away) because you can't blame him how he feels.

Misaki wrapped a orange scarf around his neck to cover up the marks. Flushing with embarrassment he made his way into town for he knew who he wanted to see.

It was totally embarrassing for him that a demon jumped him; it was a totally unfair fight since he was extremely tired and was unable to fight back like he usually does.

Misaki stopped in his tracks.

That demon knew where he lived.

This was extremely bad...he could come back at anytime; maybe the wrong time too like if he was out and Takahiro was in. That demon would be able too...

Misaki shook his head to try and get rid of the bad images.

Maybe he could move in with Takahiro for a few days, then again he didn't want to mention exactly why he wanted to stay at his house because he knew that his older brother would worry.

No...he wasn't going to give the satisfaction of him leaving his home due to him.

Misaki entered the healer's home, which was a small little house near the outskirts of town, to try and find the man who helped him many times.

"Are you home Nowaki?"

"Hello Misaki, come in here I'm making breakfast," a friendly voice came from the other room.

Nowaki was one of the town's best healers, he was the one who has nursed him back to health when he was in the most dire situations and saved his life many times.

"You haven't lost a finger have you?" Nowaki asked in amusement eating his porridge.

"Nowaki, could you look at this bite I got from...slaying?" Misaki asked indicating to his neck.

The healer nodded so Misaki took off his scarf, Nowaki got up and examined the young slayer's neck. It only took him a few seconds to know what they were.

"Seems like a demon admires you Misaki," Nowaki smiled in amusement.

"They're mating marks; this demon you were trying to slay was trying to mark you as his lover,"

Misaki spluttered in astonishment.

"I'd rather die than be some demon's lover!"

Nowaki gave Misaki a serious look.

"Then hope he'll give up easily, which he most likely won't. Demons are extremely devoted when it comes to taking lovers,"

Misaki's face turned pink.

"Where did this slaying incident happen?"

"...In my home..."

There was an awkward silence between the two.

"The demon knows where you live?"

"Yep,"

Nowaki gave Misaki a very serious look and crossed his arms.

"Tell me why you are still there? You not naive enough to think he won't come back right?"

"Course not!" Misaki snapped.

"Then why?"

"...Because...I don't want to worry Takahiro..." Misaki explained.

Nowaki stared at him willing for him to continue.

"He's done so much for me...I don't want to be a nuisance..."

After a moment's silence Nowaki sighed.

"Alright, I'll look into a way to repel demons..."

Misaki looked up while Nowaki went to take a book from a nearby shelf, a second of flicking through the books he grabbed an old one and blew the dust off it.

The title read in gold letters: 'The Demonology Book'

"Before I became a healer, I was training to become a demonologist,"

"Oh?"

"So, I shall look for a way to repel him for you, hopefully in a peaceful way," Nowaki smiled.

Misaki scowled and crossed his arms.

"I don't care if the repel hurts him,"

Nowaki shot him a look that made him flinch; he was usually a smiley happy man so when he looks angry its frightening. This was the one thing that Nowaki and Misaki disagreed on. Misaki loathed demons, he had no problem with hurting them while Nowaki was fascinated with demons in such a way that Misaki would never understand.

"Well I do, when I find it I'll inform you,"

Misaki got the feeling he irritated Nowaki, so he took this as a hint to leave him alone. Then as he started to feel bad, Nowaki helped him many times even though their views on demons clash and he's always made time to help him.

"Nowaki,"

The healer looked up at him.

"Thank you,"

Nowaki smiled back at his friend and gave him a small nod to indicate that there were no hard feelings between the two.

As Misaki left, he couldn't help but think:

'Why would anyone be that interested in demons?'

Akihiko watched Misaki as he walked home.

He looked like a frightened rabbit always looking over his shoulder, just in case he was behind him or so he was guessing. The demon prince felt slightly disturbed, he didn't intend to cause so much fear in the young Slayer.

Actually he'd thought that he would be flattered that he gained an attractive admirer, though Akihiko supposed he actually found it refreshing that he'd had to earn Takahashi's love. This was different considering he had many admirers.

Akihiko wondered what the right route was to wooing the young Slayer, perhaps giving him a gift would do. But the demon prince had no idea what Misaki liked; Akihiko supposed as a slayer he'd probably appreciate a weapon of some kind.

Though having seen the young slayer's temper the prince realised that perhaps arming him wouldn't be the smartest ideas.

He needed to know more about him; he suddenly thought of an idea, he could listen into Misaki's brother's conversations and see if he could pick up any information about him. That's what some of his female admirers did with his brother and vice versa.

"Hey Misaki!" Manami suddenly said coming up behind him.

"BAH!" Misaki jumped in surprise.

The girl blinked, knowing full well that wasn't the normal reaction.

"Eh? Misaki are you okay, you look awful,"

"Thanks..." Misaki said sarcastically.

He then caught the concerned look in Manami's eyes and gave her a reassuring smile.

"No really, I'm fine; I just had a late night,"

Akihiko wasn't very far from them, there were two things he didn't like about the scene in front of him. One was that female was getting way too close to his mate for his liking and two his future mate had his marks covered!

In his culture mates held their marks with pride, the young slayer seemed to have them covered like he was embarrassed or something, he needed to research on the mage lifestyle a bit he has hardly ever left demon country.

Akihiko got closer to Misaki, while still being invisible neither of them were able to see him but Misaki did turn his head in Akihiko's direction, making him freeze for a couple of seconds and the slayer deciding nothing was there carried on talking to Manami.

The demon prince wondered how every time he got close to Misaki even when he was invisible was able to tell that he was there, this thought somehow assured him that he and the young slayer was destined to become mates!

Akihiko smiled as he laced a finger on Misaki's orange scarf and pulled it down very gently exposing his neck and his mate marks along with them.

"Um...Misaki what happened to your neck?"

The young slayer looked as his neck and gave a little shriek, Akihiko stood right next to him watching in amusement.

"Err...I was...it was..."

Manami blinked waiting for the boy's answer.

"I-it's a bug bite!"

Akihiko had to repress a chuckle; the boy was very cute when he was confused and frustrated, he was also in the prince's opinion a very terrible liar. He was pretty certain that his fangs were sharper than any bugs were.

"Bug bite?"

Misaki's face went pink when he realised how lame his excuse was.

"Y-yeah, I woke up to find a big nasty bug sucking on my neck!" the slayer mumbled.

Akihiko frowned.

Okay, now this kid was getting personal, sure he was big but he was certainly not nasty! This kid needed to be punished and there was only one to deal with a naughty child...

Misaki yelped as he felt someone smack his ass hard.

"...Are you okay?" Manami asked puzzled.

"D-did someone just walk behind me now?" Masaki asked getting freaked out.

"No I don't think so,"

The young slayer flinched when he felt another slap to the butt; he looked around wildly desperate to see the source of his assault.

"Masaki...maybe you should go home and...lie down, the bug has given you a disease or something...you're acting a little weird,"

It was clear on Manami's face that she thought Misaki was going crazy or something but there was also a hint of worry there as well.

"You're right, I'm going home...right now," the slayer said through gritted teeth.

Akihiko and Manami expected him to walk but Misaki ran as fast as he legs could carry him back to his of course was no problem for Akihiko to catch up with him...he's has had many prey to practise young slayer has obviously realised who his attacker truly was otherwise he wouldn't looked so freaked out.

As soon as Misaki entered his home he got a dagger from a nearby drawer, looking cautiously over his shoulder and desperate to stop his heart beating so fast in his chest. He was a slayer and a pretty good one at that...so why couldn't he defeated this one so easily?

"Come out demon! I know you're here!" Misaki yelled into thin air.

The slayer could hear a slight chuckle throughout the room which sent shivers down his spine.

"Very clever young slayer," Akihiko praised appearing in front of him.

Misaki's heart skipped a beat when he saw how close the demon was close to his face.

"Now let's get rid of that, shall we?"

Akihiko tugged the dagger from Misaki's hand and tossed it to the side, the slayer tried to make a grab for the weapon again but the demon prince had him pinned against the wall rendering him unable for him to move.

The demon prince looked around the slayer's house, there was not a speck of dust out of place when he imagined a slayer he imagined the place to be filthy and blood staining all over the floor unless that's just his morbid imagination.

"You're certainly keep a tidy home,"

Misaki glared daggers at the older male and blushed.

"I don't like filth like you, littering my house either!"

The slayer expected the man to look at least angry, but all the demon did was smirk which Misaki found quite infuriating! Akihiko leaned in close and brushed his lips against Misaki's.

"Now, that wasn't very nice...am I going to have to wash your mouth out?"

Misaki was started to get scared, so he began struggling again kicking and screaming but all this was silenced by Akihiko as he kissed him very sweetly. Misaki felt the heat rise to his face with embarrassment, he knew he was awake this time and to be kissed so sweetly by a man no less made him feel really ashamed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" shrieked Misaki turning his head away.

"Admiring my future bride..." smirked Akihiko.

The slayer gave him a freaked out look.

"What?"

"First I have to mark you as my mate and then you'll become my bride," Akihiko nuzzled Misaki's face.

"The hell I will!"

Akihiko leaned in close to Misaki's ear.

"I've already made the first step; I've let others know I've marked you,"

As the prince said this went to Misaki's neck and licked the mark he inflicted causing the young slayer to shiver with a wave of pleasure.

"The second step is courting and Misaki..."

Misaki looked up at him.

"You will be mine,"

There was an aura of scary possessiveness in that tone, although Akihiko meant to make sound very romantic and perhaps in his country it would've done. But it sounded very creepy to Misaki and it just made him feel more uncomfortable than he already was.

Akihiko pulled Misaki into his arms and embraced him lovingly. Misaki noted that the demon smelled faintly of tobacco while Akihiko stroked his hair.

"I'm going to sure no one else will have you,"

Misaki blushed, now it was starting to sound romantic but quickly shook all the nice gushy feelings he got from that line, he was beginning to feel like a love struck school girl, which was not an option for the young slayer.

"So I'm moving in," Akihiko said bluntly.

"What?" Misaki screamed at the demon.

"I wish to woo you Misaki Takahashi," he stared deeply into Misaki's olive coloured eyes.

The young slayer tried to feel around him desperately searching for some kind of weapon.

"I Akihiko Usami feel that in order to properly woo you, I'll have to learn more about your lifestyle and I'll learn it perfectly when we get to know each other as lovers," Akihiko said giving a wink.

"Get the hell out of my house!" Misaki screeched trying to beat him with a flower pot.

The demon prince managed to catch it perfectly in his grip.

"Do I have to spank you again?" Akihiko teased putting the pot down.

"Just get out!" Misaki screamed pointing to the door.

"No I think I'll like it here," the prince smirked resting on Misaki's loveseat.

The young slayer seriously looked like he wanted to strangle the living daylights out of the demon invading his home. Who did this guy think he was?

"I'll find a way to get rid of you," Misaki seethed through gritted teeth.

"And I'm going to find a way to woo you, so we both win," smirked Akihiko.

"I'll use you as target practise with my spears in your sleep if you don't leave now!"

"Never wake a sleeping demon Misaki," Akihiko wagged his finger.

The young slayer glared daggers at the taller man.

"Besides, you do realise I'm just going to throw them back right? You may be a good slayer but none of your weapons can hurt me. I'm not your common demon," Akihiko explained.

Misaki crossed his arms.

"Oh? What kind of demon are you then?"

"I'm royalty,"

All Misaki could think was, oh shit. He was well and truly in for it now.

"And when you become my bride you'll be royalty too,"

"I'm not going to be your bride, dammit!"

"You will in time my dear, now shall we continue this in the bedroom?"

What kind of cruel unusual being unleashed such a perverted, cunning, demonic force such as Akihiko Usami? He really hoped that Nowaki would hurry and get that repel.

The young slayer eye's widened as he felt the demon grope his crotch, his eyebrow twitched in irriation.

Does this guy not understand the word no?

Akihiko was blissfully unaware that the teen was going to explode any minute with rage.

"Come on Misaki, you know you want to..."

Misaki clenched his fist.

"No...means NO!"

The slayer then slapped demon hard, so hard it did in fact leave a red handprint on his face.

Misaki stood there, slightly worried about how the demon was going to react, Akihiko actually didn't say anything but kind of became very silent.

"D-Do you get the point now?"

"Shhh..." the demon prince raised a finger to Misaki's lips suddenly looking panicked.

"Don't you hush m-"

Akihiko muffled the slayer's voice with his large hand and crouched down to the floor with him in his arms hiding behind the loveseat, Misaki started to get scared this guy wasn't acting like he was a few moments ago it was almost like he changed into a completely different person in a few seconds.

"Shit, this will do no good!" the prince released him and Misaki quickly got to his feet gasping for air.

"What the hell was that-"

"Grab your weapon, quickly," Akihiko ordered in a voice that could not be denied.

Misaki puzzled rushed to collect his dagger.

"Wh-"

"I was too engaged with you to notice, but you have company...listen close,"

The slayer listened, at first there was a quiet thudding sound, like someone with heavy boots in the distance but it gradually got louder, so loud the force was starting to make the ground vibrate. Misaki held the dagger in his fighting postion while Akihiko watched intentively. A loud bang made the ground vibrate more violently as it sounded like someone was knocking on the door.

"TAKAHASHI!" a voice boomed from the otherside.

"Lets see what you're made of my love," Akihiko simply said to Misaki.

Before the young slayer could respond, his front door was ripped off it's hinges and flung against the floor.

"I'LL KILL YOU SLAYING BASTARD!"

A/N: Thank you for all the reviews, favs and alerts for this fic.

Something seems to be wrong with the layout of this story, when I do it on word it looks completely different than what it does now!

Akihiko is very forward in this story because I'm sure he has no idea how to put it in any way else, he likes teasing Misaki but he doesn't like really scaring him here.

Misaki is a little more violent in this story, but that's really cause of the incident he witnessed as a child (previous chapter). Nowaki has his own backstory which will be revealed later on.

Chow for now.
