Demon Inside

Chapter 10

X*X(4 ½ Months Later)X*X

I was at nine months by now, and shit, I felt huge. Not to mention exhausted. I swear, Joshua had been fucking me practically every damn week at least once. I had no idea what had gotten into him, but I guess the sight of me being pregnant turned him on. Often. Not that I minded, but my ass was fucking sore, thank you very much.

Rolling over onto my other side, I watched the bedroom door, waiting for said demon to come home. He was with Mr. H, doing something. I had no idea what, except that it was for the baby. I sighed heavily; why couldn't Joshua have just stayed home with me? I was getting lonely and bored.

Finally, I heard the door to the house open, and I called out a greeting, which my lover's voice answered. Soon enough, he came into our room, sitting on the edge of the bed near my chest.

"Hey Neku, how are you feeling?" Joshua asked.

"My ass is sore, how's that?" I grumbled, and he gave me an apologetic look.

"Sorry, but at least I made you feel good, right?" he said.

"Yeah, but at what cost? I'm going to be giving birth any day now, and I'd rather not be more sore than necessary," I muttered. Scooting closer, the silverette placed a hand on my stomach.

"At least you're going to have the baby soon," he said softly. His face lit up when he felt our child kick. "Seems it'll be sooner than later, though."

"Good thing, too," I nodded. "I'm tired of being huge."

"Oh please," Josh scoffed. "You're still beautiful."

"Doesn't matter. I'm still huge," I retorted. My lover kissed my tender stomach gently before replying.

"I love you, you know that, right?" he said. I raised a brow at him.

"Where are you going with this?" I questioned, narrowing my eyes.

"What I mean is that I'll love you no matter what, even if you feel like I shouldn't," Josh explained, and I shook my head at him, smiling.

"You're such a sap," I chuckled, and he joined in, but I was cut off when there was a sharp pain in my abdomen. Gasping, I looked at Joshua, realizing what this meant. "The baby's coming," I said urgently. "Get Mr. H!" Joshua hesitated before taking off to find the older demon.

A sudden wet feeling between my legs indicated my water had broken, and it was definitely time to give birth. Shit. Carefully, I sat myself up on the bed, and sat back against the pillows, hissing through my teeth at the pain that shot through me every few seconds. Ten minutes passed, and then the front door slammed open, followed by the bedroom door. Mr. H and Joshua came over to me, the silverette holding my hand and Mr. H checking me over. Once he finished, he straightened up, pushing his shades up a bit.

"Yeah, you were right, J, Neku's going to give birth here soon," he said to Josh. He then looked at me. "You ready for this, Neku?"

"I don't have much of a choice, now do I?" I replied. Mr. H chuckled before answering.

"No you don't. But you'll have Josh and me here for ya," he pointed out. "Now, you're almost ready, surprisingly, but that's good. I'll let you know when you can start to push." I nodded to him, and yelped as another contraction ran through me. Joshua squeezed my hand lightly, and I squeezed back much tighter, whimpering at the pain.

This went on for what felt like several hours, but was really only two. When a couple hours had passed and the contractions became stronger, Mr. H checked me. Not even a minute had passed before he straightened up again, looking more serious than usual.

"It's time, Neku," he said, and I cringed internally. If I had pointed ears, they would have been flat against my head. Weird thought process, but still. Joshua kissed my forehead before murmuring encouragement in my ear. Mr. H gave me instructions, and when he told me to push, I did.

As this pattern went on, I would give low screams as I pushed, falling back against the pillows Joshua had propped up behind my back for me when I stopped. I must have been breaking Joshua's hand, my grip on it was so tight, but the silverette didn't complain. In fact, he kept a firm hold on my hand the entire time. Eventually, Mr. H looked at me.

"Just the shoulders this time, Neku, and then I can pull it out from there," he told me, and I nodded timidly. When told to, I pushed as hard as I could, screaming full-on from the effort, my scream turning into a yelp as I felt the shoulders. Once ten seconds had passed, I stopped, breathing harshly. Josh wiped the sweat from my forehead with a cool, damp cloth, and I cast him a grateful look. "Good job, Neku. I'll pull it out from here."

I nodded, panting from the exertion, and looked at Joshua, smiling tiredly. He smiled back at me, and he looked to Mr. H, who had snipped the umbilical cord. After cleaning off our child, he brought it over to us, wrapped up in a soft blue blanket.

"Ready to see your son?" he asked, and we nodded eagerly. The older demon handed me the bundle, and Joshua and I both gazed in wonder at our son.

He had pale skin, but his cheeks were rosy red. His hair was a pale orange, lighter than my own in shade. When he opened his eyes, I gasped, seeing that his eyes were two different colors. While the left was violet like Josh's, his right was blue like mine. I held him close, feeling tears of joy start to form in my eyes.

"He's beautiful, Neku," Josh breathed.

"Yeah, and he's ours," I murmured.

"What's his name gonna be?" Mr. H asked.

"Akuma," I said immediately. Both Josh and Mr. H nodded, satisfied.

"It's a good name," Mr. H remarked, and then turned to leave. "I'm going to leave you three be, but I'll stop by later to check in. Get some rest, Neku."

"I will," I replied, and looked at Joshua, happier than I'd ever been. "I love you, Josh."

"Love you, too, Neku," my lover answered automatically, and stroked Akuma's cheek with his finger. "Get some rest, Neku. You deserve it. I'll take care of Akuma, okay?"

"All right…" I yawned, and the silverette carefully took our son from my arms.

"Sleep tight, Neku," I heard Joshua say before falling asleep.

X*X(13 Years Later)X*X

Thirteen years have passed since Akuma was born, and he had swiftly wormed his way into everyone's hearts. Everyone in our group absolutely adored him, but no one more than Joshua and me. After all, we're his parents. Akuma had grown quite a bit over the years, too.

His fuzzy baby hair had lengthened into spiked hair slightly longer than mine, and in a similar style, too. The locks were still a pale orange shade, too. His eyes had remained the same as he became older, yet they always held a certain sense of hidden wisdom and curiosity in them. His demon side had also emerged about two years back, and like the rest of him, it was certainly unique. While in his human form, his left wing was silver and his right was black. In his dragon form, however, he had a beautiful arrangement of silver and black scales that complimented his form quite nicely. His eyes, though reptilian in that form, also remained the same.

Today, we were going out to hunt for the first warm day in a couple of months. It was nice out this morning, and it felt good to warm myself on the roof with my wings wide open to absorb the heat from the morning sun. As I lay there, I heard Joshua call out for me.

"Neku? Neku!" he called, and I sat up.

"Up here, Joshua," I answered back, and he looked up to see me on the roof. He jumped up to join me, and I kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Ready for today?" he asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah, and once Akuma wakes up, we'll get going to hunt," I said, and he smirked.

"Do you want some personal time for the first day of spring tonight?" he offered, and I blushed darkly.

"Yes…" I mumbled shyly, and he kissed the tip of my nose.

"Perfect," the silverette murmured, and pulled back slightly. "How about we go get Akuma up now?"

"Sure, that way we can get back sooner before the heat becomes too much," I agreed. We hopped down onto the ground and walked inside, and while Joshua waited in the living room, I went into Akuma's bedroom to wake him.

"Akuma," I said softly, gently waking the young demon. "Come on, it's morning. Time to wake up."

"…Mmmm…But Mom, I'm still tired…" he sighed sleepily. "Can't I sleep in today?"

"But it's the first day of spring, and you're going hunting this morning with your dad and me," I reminded him. He sat up quickly, grimacing at the sudden dizziness he felt from sitting up too fast. "Excited much?" I teased.

"Yeah, because I haven't gone hunting with both you and Dad since last autumn!" he said eagerly.

"Good point," I nodded. "Well, the sooner you get up and dressed, the sooner we can leave."

"Okay, I'll hurry," he told me, and I left him in peace to get dressed. When I rejoined Joshua, I straddled him and kissed him lightly on his lips.

"Mmm, are you excited about tonight, Nekky?" he asked teasingly, his voice lowered so Akuma wouldn't hear us. We didn't need to scar the poor kid for life at his age, especially considering he's immortal.

"Yes, seeing as we're alone tonight," I whispered back with a small smile. "Just you and me, close together…"

"Ugh, don't make me scare the shit out of Akuma, Neku," Josh groaned softly. "I don't want to jump you right here and now with Akuma here, but I can't control myself if you tease me like this…" I laughed lightly at him, and stood up.

"All right, just don't hold back tonight," I breathed in his ear, and he whined in protest as his control began to waver.

"Damn it, Neku, you're gonna pay tonight," he hissed, playfully glaring at me. I laughed at him, and ran outside to shift into my dragon form with Akuma. My son was quick to join me, and Joshua followed shortly after.

"Ready to hunt?" I asked, and Akuma nodded eagerly. We then flew off into the forest, hunting throughout the day for plenty of prey. By the time we returned home, the sun was setting, and Mr. H was waiting for us at the front door.

"Hi Uncle Sanae!" Akuma called as we landed lightly in front of him. He waved casually as we shifted back into our human forms.

"Heya kiddo," he greeted as Akuma hugged him. "Had a good day hunting, I see."

"Yeah, I caught a big buck!" he cried out. "Oh yeah, Mom and Dad said I get to spend the night with you, too!"

"Yup, I heard," he grinned.

"Thanks for watching him for tonight, Sanae," Joshua told him gratefully.

"No problem, Boss. My pleasure," Mr. H nodded. "All right, I'll take him now; get him off your hands."

"Okay. See you tomorrow, Akuma!" I said, and he hugged me and then Joshua before running off with Mr. H. As soon as they were out of sight, Joshua yanked me by my wrist into the house and into the bedroom, kissing me passionately. When we broke apart for air, I looked at the silverette teasingly.

"Just couldn't wait, could ya?" I smirked.

"Shut up and kiss me, Neku," he growled, kissing me harder and more deeply. I was swift to respond, my tongue fighting against his for dominance, but he dominated easily. Joshua dropped me on the bed when we parted again, and I saw the growing erection in his pants.

"Already hard, huh, Josh? Wow, I must really turn you on," I laughed.

"You told me earlier not to hold back, and I'm not going to this time, Neku," he reminded me with a smirk, and I gulped a bit nervously. I regret saying that now! "And I remember telling you that you would pay~"

Josh ripped my shirt off, making me yelp in shock. Shit, he wants sex, and he wants it right now! I tugged off his own shirt quickly as he removed my pants & boxers in one swift movement. He kissed me heatedly again as I unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them down with his boxers. Joshua slicked up three fingers with lube before sticking the first one in me. I gasped at the sudden intrusion, and squirmed slightly on the mattress.

When I adjusted to the first, he slipped in the second, scissoring me and stretching me wide. He slid in the third as soon as I began to move my hips against his fingers. Again, he scissored me widely, stretching and preparing me for his length that was soon to replace the fingers. I moaned as I rocked my hips back on his fingers, crying out from pure ecstasy when they brushed against my prostate.

Josh withdrew his fingers, making me whine at the loss, but I quickly silenced myself when he pressed his hardened cock at my entrance.

"Ready, Neku?" he asked, and I nodded. He began to press himself into me, and I squeezed my eyes shut tight, hissing through my clenched teeth as he slowly entered me. As soon as Josh's cock was completely buried within me, he stilled, waiting for me to adjust. I only waited for about thirty seconds before opening my eyes and gazing into his violet eyes, darkened with overpowering lust.

"Move," I whispered, and the silverette smirked before replying.

"Gladly."

He pulled out about halfway and then slammed back into me, hard, hitting my prostate roughly in the process. I moaned loudly as he began to thrust into me, unrelenting in his roughness and speed. Gripping his back tightly, I dug my nails into his pale skin as he moved, making him hiss from the pain, but he didn't let up in his thrusts.

Joshua kissed me passionately while thrusting, tasting me and moving his tongue smoothly against my own. I rocked my hips in time with his thrusts, moaning and mewling loudly and uncontrollably. The silverette snaked his hand in between us and began to stroke at my weeping member, making me cry out. As he pumped me in time with his thrusts, I felt my end approaching.

"J-Josh, I-I'm gonna—" I started to stammer, but my lover covered my mouth with his own.

"Together," he whispered against my lips. He gave a particularly hard thrust and I screamed as I came, cum splashing up onto our stomachs. Joshua bit down firmly on my neck as he came with a groan, his hot seed filling me. Eventually, Joshua pulled out carefully, collapsing next to me, panting heavily.

"Holy shit…Neku…that…was amazing…" Joshua breathed, wrapping his arms loosely around me and kissing me softly. I curled into his side, inhaling his wonderfully warm scent, and sighed.

"You're amazing," I countered, and he giggled.

"As are you, Nekky, as are you," he replied. I smiled, content, and fell asleep in Joshua's arms, thinking about the beginning.

If I hadn't been born a demon, I never would have been able to be with Joshua. It would have been too dangerous. I'm just so grateful for the life I now live with this demon inside.
