Not the Only One

Chapter 7

Ellie slowly awoke to the sound of knocking. She groaned, pulling the blanket up under her chin. “Five more minutes, please.” she yelled. She buried herself more into her pillows and tried going back to sleep. Her bed was warm and felt safe from her swirling emotions. All she wanted to do today was sleep the day away just so she can face tomorrow head on and figure out what she was going to do with everything.

Suddenly, her blanket flew off her body, jolting her up right. At the foot of the bed was Barbatos, with his cheeky grin, folding her blanket and placing it back on her bed on a neatly folded square.

“Good morning, Ellie. Young Master had requested your attendance for breakfast this morning, but I took the liberty of letting you sleep in considering the day you had.” he said.

“Thank you, Barb. I needed the sleep.” She sat up and stretched her arms over her head, trying to wake her sleepy body. As she was stretching, Barbatos set down a cup of something warm on the nightstand next to her, “What’s this morning's poison?” she asked jokingly.

He chuckled at her jab, “a French vanilla cappuccino with a surprise.”

She gave him a puzzled look. “What’s the surprise?”

“Well, if I told you then it wouldn’t be a surprise now, would it?” he gave her a mischievous grin.

Ellie hesitantly picked up the cup, bringing up to her nose, smelling the warm vapors. “Is it liqueur?”

Barbatos laughed, “You honestly think that Lucifer will tolerate me giving you liquor in the morning? The young master maybe but not Lucifer.”

She looked down at the cup, white foam swirled on top of the warm brown liquid, scrunched up her nose before finally taking a sip. The bitter coffee hit her tongue, followed by the French vanilla foam taking away the bitterness. There was a flavor she couldn’t pinpoint. It became more potent as she drank, but she couldn’t for the life of her figure it out.

Barbatos took the cup from her hand, “Looks like you finished it, Mon chérie. Did you figure out your surprise?”

Ellie crossed her arms over her chest, “No. Are you going to tell me or let me stew over it?”

He moved his hand up to his face, placing his forefinger against his lips, giving her a wink. He turned and started walking out of the room, “Oh.” He spun back towards her, “I placed fresh flowers in your suite. I do hope you like them. I arranged them myself.” he slightly bowed and walked out of the room.

Ellie waited till she knew Barb was gone, she then slid from her bed and walked out to her suite. She stopped short because it seemed like Barbatos planted a garden of pink and red camellias. Any flat surface had a potted camellia plant except for one table, near the entrance, that had a large red chrysanthemum plant. She went to each and every plant, taking in their perfume and silently thanked Barbatos for his generosity.

A buzzing sound brought her back to her senses, reminding her that she had work to do at the House of Lamentation. She was tempted to call Lucifer and cancel and stay in her room, but she made a commitment to him and she needed to follow through.

She lazily put on a band tee, black denim jeans and a pair of worn trainers. Ellie made her way downstairs, playing music on her D.D.D. on blast, her feet dancing their way down the many, many stairs. She made a stop in the kitchen and grabbed an apple, hoping it’s not a poisoned apple that Barbatos keeps on hand for Lucifer. As Ellie made her way to the front entrance, Barbatos met her there, her bag in hand and the door already opened.

She shut her music off before speaking to him, “Aw Barb, you didn’t need to do that for me.” she accepted the bag he held out for her, slinging it over her shoulder.

“I wanted to, Mon chérie.” he placed his hand over his heart and bowed to her.

“Barb, you don’t need to bow to me. I’m not royalty or anything.”

He gave her a rare gentle smile, “You just don’t know you own worth yet.”

She made a confused face at him, making him laugh. He patted the top of her head, then pushed her gently out the door, closing it behind her. Ellie stood stunned in front of the door, wondering if Barbatos really pushed her out the door. She looked over her shoulder, staring at the now closed door. She shook her head and headed off the boy’s house.

_________________________________________________

Ellie made it to the House of Lamentation, but stood outside the gate, just staring at the place she once called home. Nothing seems to have changed, other than who was occupying the house, but it still felt like home. She took in a deep breath and pushed through the gate and up to the door, letting herself in.

She made her way up the stairs, passing each brother’s room, till she got to Mammon’s room. She took another deep breath, bit her lower lip, and held her breath as she slowly tip toed passed his room. She released her held breath and resumed her way to Lucifer’s study.

Ellie knocked on the hard wood door, before letting herself in, only to find Lucifer not there yet. She checked her D.D.D. just to make sure she wasn’t late and missed him or that he called to cancel on her, but no such luck. She was on time and he didn’t call or message her. She sighed, plopping herself in one of the chairs opposite his and was playing a mind-numbing game.

After what seemed like forever, Lucifer entered the study and seemed pretty surprised to see her there. “What are you doing here Ellie?”

“Did you forget? I’m supposed to help you with anything you need help with.”

He furrowed his brows. “Like what? I can handle anything?”

Ellie gave him a once over, “Those dark circles don’t mean you’re handling everything that well. You’re staying up late finishing paperwork and dealing with the boys, mainly Mammon and his shenanigans and hair brain schemes.”

He waved his hand, “I’m not going to have you deal with him. You can help any where's else but I don’t want you any where’s near him.”

She giggled, “Well, duh. If I wanted him to know I was here, I wouldn’t have tip toed past his room.” she got up from the chair, walking up to him and taking his black gloved hands in hers, “Let me help you. Even if it’s something small. I just want to take some of the burden off your shoulders.”

He sighed, bringing her hands up to his lips, kissing each knuckle on her hand, “I don’t want you having to worry about me.” he whispered.

“Too late.” she whispered back.

Lucifer released her hands, freeing his to frame her face in them, his thumbs gently rub against her cheeks. He started to pull her towards him, then suddenly there was a knock on his door, causing Ellie to jump slightly.

“Someone better be brutally maimed or dying.” Lucifer growled.

“Nope,” Said Asmo as he popped his head in, “Oh hey look it’s Ellie. I’m just going to borrow-” he went to reach for her hand when Lucifer grabbed his wrist in a tight grip, “Ow, ow, ow. My delicate wrist.” He whined.

“What do you want?” Lucifer growled.

“I was going to give Ellie a makeover and take her to The Fall for some dancing and fun, maybe find new love.” he winked. Lucifer’s glove crackled as it tightened around Asmo’s wrist. Making him yelp in pain. “Lucifer, ease up, I just want to take her out to get her mind of scumbag Mammon. Drink a few cocktails and have fun.”

“Did you even ask her if that’s what she wants to do?” asked Lucifer.

Asmo scoffed, “Of course she wants to go out. It's with me of course, I mean who wouldn’t want a makeover and go dancing with me?”

Lucifer sighed and pinched the bridge of is nose with his free hand, “That’s not what I meant, moron. I was asking if you actually asked her what her plans were before you decided to impose your agenda on her.”

Asmo managed to free his wrist from Lucifer’s grip, inspecting it for any bruising, “I tried to call her, but she didn’t answer, I was gonna head off to Diavolo’s castle and talk-”

“You knew I was here Asmo, or else you wouldn’t have come to Lucifer’s study.” Ellie interrupted with a teasing smile.

A slight blush colored his cheeks, “Ok fine, I saw her come through the gates a couple hours ago.” he pouted.

“The Fall doesn’t open until dusk, Asmo, so why do you need me now?” asked Ellie.

Asmo gasped, “I know The Fall doesn’t open for a while, but we need to pamper ourselves before that. We need to go to the spa, then the hairdressers, then there’s the makeup artists, then we need to find you the perfect sexy outfit too.”

“Wait, sexy outfit, Asmo what are you-” Ellie started to say, but Asmo grabbed her wrist and started pulling her out of the study.

“Asmo!” yelled Lucifer.

“No time to explain. There’s so much to do and so little time to do it in. See you later Lucifer.” he shouted over his shoulder.

Ellie looked over her shoulder at the fuming Lucifer, she gave him a wave with her loose hand, “I’ll text you later.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellie and Asmo walked through the doors of The Fall, music blasting through the whole building that you could barely hear yourself think. Asmo and her spent hours and hours getting manicures, pedicures, massages, and body wraps at the spa. Shopping at Majolish for the prefect outfit, which Asmo took the longest time to look and trying on and actually picking four outfits for more nights out on the town, along with matching shoes and accessories. Asmo also spared no expense when it came to the hair salon, hair masks, deep hair conditioning, haircuts, blow outs and styling. She almost felt bad that Asmo spent so much for this evening.

After the had all the done, they went and got ready with Asmo’s personal makeup artist. They had done their magic on the both of them, Ellie almost didn’t recognize herself when she got the full view of herself. Asmo picked out a little black dress that hugged her body like a second skin. The makeup artist made her seem more feminine then when she actually tries to. They did a dark smoky eye, highlighted her cheeks, nose and inner eye. They painted a red lipstick on her lips and covered whatever bare skin she had exposed in holographic body glitter, making her skin glitter in the light, making it seem like she walked out of a fairy tale.

As they walk through the club, demons were watching them, mainly what they must be calling dinner. Ellie wanted to grab anything to cover herself, anything to make them stop staring at her, but Asmo relished in the attention, forgetting about her as he went off to greet his fans and admirers.

She made her way to the bar, ordering herself mocktail, since she figured she can always cut out early and head back to the castle if she had enough. The drink was placed in front of her, as she slowly sipped it, she felt a hand glide across her exposed back. She swiftly turned; hand ready to slap whoever dare touch her. The perpetrator caught her wrist before it could connect his cheek, but once she got a good look at who it was, her eyes saw red.

“Mammon.”

To be continued.

Not the only one.

Chapter 6

I took a piece of this year’s birthday event for Mammon, but not a full on copy of the event. I hope you enjoy this chapter, oh and happy belated birthday to our favorite greedy demon.

____________________________________

“Perfect, everything’s ready for him.” Ellie said as she set up the perfect birthday celebration for her Mammon. All she had to do was wait for him to come home from whatever trouble he’s gotten himself into.

She had made a reservation at Hell’s Kitchen for dinner, she got him tokens for his favorite casino, and for the finale she was taking him to the top of the demon lord’s palace, to look over all of Devildom where she’ll give him his birthday present.  

Ellie grabbed her messenger bag off the chair it sat in, she reached her hand in and felt for the small black sqaure velvet box. She felt giddy just thinking about his reaction to the whole evening.

“MMMMAAAAMMMMMMMMOOOOONNNN!”  

Ellie whipped her head towards her bedroom door, where she could hear Lucifer yelling. She heaved a sigh, wondering what the hell he did this time.

She exited her room, she leaned over the railing once she reached to stairwell. She saw Lucifer giving Mammon a scolding while he sat there with his hand clasped, his head bowed and begging not to be strung upside down from the ceiling. She smiled at this brotherly squabble. They all loved each other, sure they had strange ways of showing it, but she knew it was there.

She made her way down the stairs towards the brothers. She placed her hand on Lucifer’s shoulder, making him whip his murderous red eyes towards her. She leaned towards his ear and whispered.

“Just take Goldie from him this time and put it with Cerberus in the catacombs. I need him right side up tonight, please?” she pleaded.

He gave her a glare before he deflated. “Fine. I know he’ll be too scared to go down there by himself anyways.” he snapped his fingers and Mammon’s credit card was in his hand.  

“Not Goldie Lucifer! Please anything but Goldie!”

“Would you rather I hung you upside down in the catacombs with Cerberus?”

Mamoon stood up straight, “No dear brother, I can live without Goldie for a while.” he said sweetly.

“Hmph.” Lucifer smiled and walked away.

Ellie shook her head, Older brothers. She thought.

She turned towards her love, Mammon, “Thanks Ellie, I know it could’ve been a lot worse had you not interfered. Now I’m off.” He turned away from her.

“Wait Mammon, did you forget that we had plans?”

He turned towards her, “Can’t you reschedule them?”

“No! They're for tonight only? What’s so important that you’d bail on me?” she asked.

“What are you? My mom?” he turned away from her again.  

His hand was almost on knob of the front door when she said, “Fine. I’ll take someone else out to Hell’s kitchen.”  

His body stiffened. He gave a chuckle, but didn’t turn around, “You’re bluffin’. Everyone is busy tonight.”

You could almost see the lightbulb light up over Ellie’s head. “Solomon’s free tonight. I’m sure he would enjoy a dinner date with me. Then maybe a few rounds of slots at the casino.”

Ellie turned on her heel’s, pulling out her D.D.D. to “call” Solomon.

“Wait!”

She smiled with victory. She composed herself before turning towards the greedy demon, “Yes, Mammon?” she asked sweetly, batting her eyelashes.

He was facing her with one arm outstretched, his hand open like he was trying to magical stop her. “When do we leave?”

She rewarded him with a smile, “Reservations are at six. Meet me in the Entrance Hall at five.” She almost skipped away out of happiness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellie had out did herself for his birthday. She reserved the best table, five course meal and a bottle of Demonus. She smiled as he enjoyed himself. The more he drank the more honest he got.

“Ellie, you’re the best girlfriend a demon could ask for. You spoil me, love me and you believe in me. Unlike my brothers, who believe I'm lower than scum.” he said while giggling.

She laughed, “Well if you stop stealing and selling their stuff out from under them, then they wouldn’t think badly of you.”

“Hey I can’t help it. I am THE GREAT MAMMON.” he yelled.

“Shh," Ellie giggled, “You're gonna get us kicked out.”

“Well, aren’t we finished? I wanna play slots next.” he hopped up and skipped all the way out of the restaurant.

That sight caused an eruption of giggles and stifled laughter. Ellie shook her head at the buzzed demon. She followed after him, after paying the check and thanking the staff for the wonderful meal.  

She exited the building, looking for Mammon, he couldn’t have gone too far. She spotted him weaving in and out on the street, like he was trying to avoid hitting something or someone. She ran to catch up with him. When she did, she looped her arm around his and gently tugged, drawing his attention to her.

“Mammon, are you feeling okay? We can always call it a night and go home.”

“No, Ellie. I’m getting to spend alone time with you. We don’t get to very often.”  

That made Ellie smile. He's hardly ever this honest with his feelings, getting the Demonus was a perfect idea from Asmo.  

“Okay, Mammon. Do you still want to go to the casino?” she asked.

“Maybe for a little bit. Not too long. I want to see what you have planned at the end of our date.” he pulled his arm our from her grasp.

She was about to pout when he slung his arm he just freed around her shoulder and pulled her closer to his body. She looked at his face and noticed a slight blush to his cheeks. She smiled softly and snuggled more into his body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The casino was a dud. They had a losing streak and it wasn’t looking up for them. Mammon had his head hung low and had sobered up from the loss. Ellie had tried cheering him up but nothing was working out.

He was walking a few steps ahead of her for a while, not saying a word or making sure she was still with him.

“How about we go home Ellie? I don’t feel like being out anymore.” he groaned.

“Are you sure?” she asked.

“Yeah, I just want my bed.”

“Okay, Mammon.”  

She couldn’t say she was disappointed, but since he was in a gloomy mood, she couldn’t force him to finish off the date. She watched as he heaved a sigh and messed up his white hair out of frustration.  

Ellie reached down into her bag and pulled out the present she had prepared for him. She squeezed the box, knowing she’ll have to give it to him differently then she had planned. She looked in her bag to check the time on her D.D.D.

20:45, I still have time before it hits midnight. She thought.

“Hey, Mammon, can we maybe stop in the garden for a minute at home?” she asked, hoping for a yes.

“No, I just want to go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow.”

Ellie felt defeated. Tonight, was a bust.  

Asmo was waiting in the entrance hall, pacing back and forth, when they made it back. When he noticed they were back, he smiled brightly and skipped to them.

“Okay, let me see, Mammon.” he said while he moved his hands in a beckoning motion at Mammon.

“I didn’t win anything, Asmo.” he said with exasperation, stomping up the stairs and heading to his room.  

“But Ellie-” Asmo turned and looked at Ellie’s face.

She closed her eyes and shook her head.  

Once Asmo heard his door slam shut, he rushed to Ellie and grasped her hands in his. “What happened? Why didn’t you give him the present?”

“The casino was a bust. He had a losing streak and couldn’t get out of it. He lost everything. We left before he could gamble away whatever I had on me. I asked him if he wanted to finish the date but he said he wanted to sleep. I was going to give it to him in the garden but he shot that down.” Ellie looked in the direction of his room and sighed. “Maybe I'll just wait for him to fall asleep and leave it on his bedside table.”

Asmo pulled her in a tight hug, “It’ll be okay honey. You can always dump him and date me.”

She smiled as Asmo determination and returned the hug, “I know Asmo, but I’m crazy about him. He's just having rotten luck tonight.” She pulled out of his arms and smiled at him. He squeezed her hands once more before leaving her for his nightly bedtime routine.  

She slowly made it to her room, tossing everything on the floor. She wanted to collapse in her bed but she needed to prepare herself for breaking into Mammon’s room. She checked the time once again.

21:50

That gave her ten minutes to get in his room and get out. She pulled the box out of her bag, along with a piece of paper and a pen. She quickly wrote a small message while trying to walk to his room. Once there she tried the knob and found it unlocked. She did a mental dance and walked in his room.

She looked around the room for him, then she heard his shower start. She quietly made her way to his bad and placed his present and the rushed note on his table and quickly got out. As she walked down the hall back to her room, she tried to settle her racing heart by patting her chest.

When she entered her room, she went to her bed and collapsed, still wearing her street clothes and just drained. She gathered enough energy to pull the blanket out from under her and crawled in under it. She was ready to fall asleep when she heard a clock somewhere near, toll the midnight chime.

“Happy birthday Mammon.” she whispered.

As she was dozing off, her door suddenly opened and then closed. She was too to even get up and look for whoever was at her door, when she felt the bed dip under someone’s weight. Her eyes shot open and looming over her was Mammon. He held the box over her head and was turning in his hand.

“Ellie, what’s this?” he asked.

She gave him a confused look, “It’s a birthday present.”

“It’s not my birthday.” he said flatly.

“Yes, it is.” She grabbed the calendar she kept on her bedside with comic strips. “It’s September 10th at midnight.” She pointed at the circled date.

Ellie can see that the lights where on but no one was home in his mind. She tossed the calendar down on the floor and thunked him in the forehead. “Did you forget your own birthday, moron?”

“Hey, I’m not a moron. I’ve just been busy I forgot.” he pouted.

She looked at him unconvinced that he forgot his birthday because he was busy.  

“Anyways, what is it?” he asked.

Her eyes grew wide, “You didn’t even open it?!”

He furrowed his brows, “No, I didn’t know what it was for. Why would I open it?”  

“Did you even read the note I left with it?”

“There was a note?”

Ellie wanted to smack her head against the wall, but with him caging her under him, she couldn’t do so. “Just open it, dummy.”

He pursed his lips and then sighed, “Okay.” He pushed himself up, kneeling with her legs in between his.

The box creaked open, sitting inside was a ring made of platinum with a diamond band in the middle. He pulled the ring out of the foam padding and noticed something written on the inside.

“To Mammon with all my love E.” he read aloud.

“Happy birthday, Mammon.” she said softly with a smile.

The demon looked down at her with his glittering blue eyes. He slipped the ring on his finger and looked at how it complimented his other ones.

He quickly leaned down and kissed her. She was caught off guard by his sudden forwardness, but she started to melt into his kiss. He coaxed her to open her mouth with his tongue, making him kiss her deeper. His hands found hers and threaded his fingers with hers, squeezing gently.

Just as fast as they kissed, they pulled apart, breathless from the intensity of it. Mammon relaxed his body, laying on top of Ellie fully.  

“Isn’t there a human custom where you exchange rings as a symbol of love?” Mammon asked.

“Yes, there’s a few like that. Why?”

He lifted his head up high enough to look at her in her eyes, “Because on this ring I vow to love you forever and ever.” he said with absolute resolve.

She smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him down for a hug, “I’ll love you for the rest of my days.”

Just when she was going to kiss him again, her eyes opened under the morning sun. Ellis sat up, looking around and remembering that his birthday was almost a year ago, and she was dreaming about that night.

She fell back into bed, pulling the thick blanket to her mouth and cried, the blanket muffling her screams of anguish.

Not the only one

Chapter 5

Once she calmed down, Lucifer sat her down in one of the many chairs in the room.

“Satan, can you please get Ellie a cup of tea?” he asked.

Satan just gave a quick nod as he turned and left the room.

Ellie rubbed her eyes with the sleave of her blazer, Lucifer gentle grabbed her wrist and pulled it away from her face.

“You’re going to rub your eyes raw if you continue to do that.” he released her wrist and just watched her with sorrow and anger in his eyes.

Ellie hung her head and waited for him to lecture her, but they just sat in silence.

“What are you thinking little one?” he asked.

She gave him a confused look, “Aren’t you going to tell me ‘I told you so’ since I didn’t listen to you or anyone else when I gave Mammon a chance?” she questioned.

He gave her a chuckle. “You were blinded by love and were a stubborn mule to listen to anyone. And you were to pure hearted to see the bad in us demons.”

“But you’re not all bad. You’re sitting here with me, consoling me and Satan is getting me tea with the possibility of bringing me a cat shaped cookie too.” she giggled.

Lucifer softly smiled at his little human. He placed his hand on the top of her head and gently patted her. He watched how Ellie’s cheeks turned a cute shade of rose. He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead, “I’ll always be there for you, Ellie.” he whispered to her.

Ellie’s hands went up and covered her burning cheeks, he stood up and adjusted his blazer and started to leave.

“Where are you going Lucifer?” she asked.

He turned back to her, “I’m going to look for Diavolo.” was all he said before he walked out of the room.

Once he was gone, Satan walked in with her tea and the accurately predicted cat cookie. He pulled a chair up in front on her and sat facing her.

“Thank you, Satan.” she said before she took a sip of her tea.

“My pleasure, Ellie. I hate seeing you like that.” he said with a sad smile.

“I know and thank you for your concern.”

“I’m going to stay with you for the rest on the school day so he doesn’t bother you and I know that once he sees you alone, he will want to explain himself and I know you don’t need to see or hear from him.” he said with determination.

“What about your classes? You still have at least four classes left.”

“It’s fine, I'm not like my brothers who’ll fall behind by skipping a day.” he waved her off.

She sighed, “Okay, if you say so,” she knew that once he got the idea in his head, he wasn’t going to back down from it. Just like his many failed attempts to prank Lucifer.

When she finished her tea and cookies, Satan escorted her to the cafeteria for lunch. There they met up with the others except Lucifer and Mammon. When she sat at the table, Beel passed her one of his made-up trays of food.

“Eat as much as you want, whatever you don’t eat I'll finish it.” he said.

She giggled, “Of course Beel and thank you.”

As she ate, the guys were getting details from Satan about what happened last class period. Before he even sat a word, he’d look to her and silently made sure it was okay to tell them. She gave some nods but most of them were shakes. She still didn’t want them to kill either over her, a human who was going to be gone in a month.

She almost choked on some food when her D.D.D. went off in her pocket. She pulled it out and there was a message from Mammon. She ignored it and turned it on silent. She returned it to her pocket and continued to eat.

“Want some dessert?” asked Belphie. He held out a caramel shadow tart.

“Yes, please. I need this after everything that’s been going on.” she eagerly took the tart, pushing the tray of leftover food to Beel, who gladly dug into and slowly ate the sweet tart.

They spent the rest of lunch talking about the upcoming exams and plans that involved going to the Demon Lord’s castle and spending another night with Ellie.

She had to decline that offer, she needed sleep and those five will not help with that. They accepted that she wanted to be alone and a few of them had a malicious look in their eyes. She didn’t ask what they were going to do, she left it be and she knew they will tell her tomorrow what they’ve done to their brother on her behalf.

Truth be told, it warmed her heart to know that these guys care for her so much and deeply.

Satan kept to his word and stayed with her the rest of the school day. When school ended, she parted with the brothers and started her walk to the castle. She looked up at the eternal night sky, the stars sparkled like polished jewels. She thoughts kept going back to Mammon and how she should’ve known that something was going on when he stopped texting and calling her. She knew it was going to take time for her heart to heal and move on from the greedy demon and she was looking forward to the journey of self-healing, especially with the guys.

Barbatos had the door to the castle already opened and greeted her, “Welcome home, Ellie. I hope your day was wonderful.” Her body flinched; it didn’t go unnoticed by the ever-aware demon butler. “I take it by that reaction, it wasn’t a good day.”

“In the beginning it wasn’t, but it ended on an okay note.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked sincerely.

“No. I’m just gonna go to my room and take a bubble bath and maybe read a book Satan lent me. I’ll take my leave, excuse me.” she said as she walked away from the mischievous demon.

Barbatos watched Ellie take to the stairs, skipping the first step and repeating the pattern till she was out of sight. He pinched his chin in between his thumb and curled forefinger. He pulled his D.D.D. out and sent a quick message to his master. Once he put that away, he went to his room. He needed to see for himself what happened to his little devil flower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellie sat in a massive clawed bathtub, it was almost filled to the brim with hot water and bubbles. On top of the bubbles were crushed lavender and chrysanthemums to help her relax and release tension. She has soft music playing in the background, to help ease her mind.

Ellie felt her body relax, her eyes slowly closed as the music and aroma took over her senses and mind. When she opened her eyes again, Diavolo stood at the end of the tub, where her feet rested on the rim. She gave a yelp, covering her most intimate places with her hands and bubbles.

“Lord Diavolo? What are you doing in here?” she shrieked.

He didn’t say a word as he discarded his red jacket and rolled up his long sleeves. He reached in the tun and pulled the stopper, draining some of the water before putting it back in the drain. She was still covered by some water and bubbles and her arms still covered her breasts. She watched him go to the sink and choose a purple bottle of lotion and materialized a stool with his magic and place in near her feet.

“Diavolo?”

He squeezed a small amount of lotion in his big hand, placing the bottle on the tiled floor, with his empty hand her pulled one of her feet to him and started massaging it gently at first, but slowly started working her pressure points.

He didn’t speak the whole time he worked on her one foot. Part of her wanted to melt and another part was wondering where was Barbatos? He would normally try to stop him from doing almost any kind of manual labor that wasn’t dignified for a king.

When he felt he massaged her foot good enough, he put it back in the tub and moved his stool to the other side of the tub and started massaging her other foot.

She watched his face as he pampered her, his expression looked like he was lost in thought, trying to piece together whatever trains of thought that was running around in his princely head.

She was so absorbed in the massage that she started to fall asleep.

“I’m sorry, Ellie.” he finally spoke, shaking the sleepiness from her mind.

She sat quietly waiting for him to continue what he wanted to say.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know any of this was happening or else I wouldn’t have rushed to bring you here. I didn’t want you to get hurt over his betrayal. I should’ve spoken to Lucifer about bringing you here and what his thoughts were.” he spoke softly,

“Don’t be sorry. If you hadn’t brought me here, I would still be the fool, unaware of his cheating. Blissfully waiting for him to answer any of my calls or text messages. I should be thanking you, Lord Diavolo.”

He looked at her in awe, most human women he’s read about would be in bed crying and cutting or styling their hair, but Ellie’s here going about her day like any other, with a couple crying fits, but that’s normal for someone in her situation and she was taking a bath, which he just realized he interrupted. He’s cheeks turned flushed with embarrassment and quickly picked up his coat.

“I am so sorry for walking on you in the bath. I was just so immersed in my thoughts of comforting you that I didn’t notice that you were undressed.” he quickly bowed to her before turning and leaving the suite.

Ellie sat in the tub confused, he didn’t notice I was naked? How deep in thought was he???

She shook her head and got out of the tub, wrapping herself in a warm fluffy towel. She sat on her bed and retrieved her D.D.D. from her blazer pocket, that she laid on the bed.

She was stunned to see many messages and calls from the guys and she didn’t hear any of. Then she remembered she silenced it after getting a message from Mammon. She laid back in bed and read messages from them, skipping Mammon’s of course, Once she replied to everyone, she slowly started to drift off to sleep.

A hand caressed her cheek, causing her to stir. She slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry but she could make up a figure sitting on her bed. She wanted to bolt upright, but she was so tired that she closed her eyes falling back to sleep.

Not the only one

Chapter 4

Ellie stood in the street frozen as a glacier, she couldn’t hear anything other than the shattering of her heart as she watched Mammon and this unknown man walk away deeper into the street of shops.

A hand covered her eyes, “It’s okay Ellie. We’ll take you home. You don’t need him to break you even further.” Beel said in a soft voice.

Tears started to fall down her cheeks, she clenched her jaw, to hold back her sobs. Beel, again, picked her up princess style and turned her head into his chest, hiding her crying face from everyone.

“You want us to kill him?” asked Belphie.

All she could do was shake her head. She didn’t want them telling him that she was here. “Just take me to the castle.” she whispered.

Beel could feel her trembling in his arms, he pulled her close till she stopped trembling, all he could do now, was obey her wish. He looked at his brothers behind him and each shot a glare at the back of their brother’s head, knowing fully well Mammon will feel it. He noticed Mammon tense up and turn his back towards them. Beel turned his body so Ellie wasn’t visible to Mammon, he didn’t want him to see how broken and upset she was.

“C’mon guys, we have a little human to comfort.” said Beel.

“You’re right. We’ll let him stew a little.” said Asmo. “Beside we need ice cream, chocolate and bad scary movies to cheer our Ellie up. Oh, oh and some nail polish, face masks, hair masks, foot bathes, pajamas, -” Asmo continues to list items that could help cheer up Ellie.

“I’ll bring a couple video games and anime if bad scary movies don’t help.” chimed in Levi.

“I’ll bring lots of pillows.” added Belphie.

“I’ll bring a couple cats to cuddle with. They’re very attentive with people’s emotions.” said Satan.

Ellie smiled under the tears. She was lucky to have these guys that wanted to help her feel better. She silently drifted off to sleep as she listened to the guy's babble about comforting her.

_______________________________________________

A loud buzzing noise woke Ellie, but not enough for her to roll over and shut it off. She pulled a blanket up and over her face and squeezed her eyes shut tight. She wasn’t prepared to go to the academy and face Mammon.

“Uh, Ellie, shut the alarm off. It’s annoying and ruining my beauty sleep.” whined Asmo.

Ellie reached out from under the blanket and found her D.D.D. she dismissed the alarm and started to go back to sleep.

A sudden realization hit her foggy mind. She rose to a sitting position and took a good look around her. She started checking off things that should be there in her room except the five demon brothers that surrounded her in her bed. She had to rub her eyes just to make sure she wasn’t still sleeping, but she was indeed awake and so were they.

“When did we get here and why are all of you in my bed?” she asked franticly.

“Last night after the whole...incident.” Satan growled, “We tried to wake you when we got here but Diavolo said we could stay here with you, just in case you needed us.”

Ellie sighed, “Thank you guys, I’m happy you’re all here.” she smiled, “Now it’s time to leave for school.”

“Ellie dear, aren’t you going to change into you’re uniform first?” asked Asmo.

That made her look down at herself and gave a small yelp, pulling the blanket back up. She was in just a camisole and boy shorts. She felt her cheeks getting hot from the embarrassment of sitting in front of these guys in just her underwear. And she was about to go to school like that.

“Who undressed me?” she meekly asked.

“Oh, who else dear?” Asmo said giving you a seductive wink.

That only made her blush even worse as it crept down her neck and up to her ears. She buried her face in her blanket, too scared to ask if anything happened.

Belphie jabbed Asmo in his side, “Quit picking on her. She’s been through enough as it is.” Belphie crawled up to her and pulled the blanket down enough to see her eyes, “Barbatos had a demoness undress you. We didn’t know that she left you like this. We’ll be waiting for you outside the door, okay?”

She nodded her head. The guys walked outed of the room, well most of them walked out on their own, Asmo had to be dragged out by Satan. When the door clicked shut, she jumped out of bed and went to the wardrobe and pulled on her RAD uniform, and quickly pulled a comb through her bedhead and ran out the door to tackle this horrid day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellie sat at a desk in the student council room, going through some papers Diavolo gave her before he had to leave. He even left her some papers that needed to be delivered to teachers so they can copy and hand them out to students.

Once she was done with the first part of paperwork, she got up and collected the handouts and headed off to the first classroom. So far, she had yet to run into the pond scum called Mammon, so that was a plus to her day.

The first classroom, a couple of demons whispered about who she was and what she was doing there. The professor recognized her and happily took the handout and wished her well. She looked up and saw Asmo painting his nails in the back of the room. Once he noticed her, he cheerfully waved at her with his biggest smile. She waved back and headed out of the room.

The rest of the classrooms she went to were almost the same. Teachers were happy to see her and students gossiped about her, what brothers she saw were happy to see her, she even saw the Angel exchange students and a couple human ones too, except for that one she saw last night.

She was at the last classroom and she knew he either had to be in here or he was skipping. She took a deep breath and opened the door. She nearly froze in the doorway when she saw him. He hadn’t changed at all and next to him was the guy from last night. They were both engrossed in their conversation with each other to notice that someone had walked in. A couple rows back was Lucifer and Satan. Lucifer was doing his work diligently and Satan was staring daggers at Mammon.

He stopped giving him a death glare when he saw her in the doorway. He gave her a small smile and waved. She returned the smile and small wave and walked over to the teacher. He put down his book and took the paper from her.

“When did you get back, Ellie?” he asked.

“Yesterday sir. I’ll be seeing you again to deliver more papers.” she smiled.

“Good. I’ll see you around.”

She turned to leave, but caught Mammon’s slacked jaw and stunned. She didn’t knowledge him and went on her way.

“Hey! Wait! Ellie!” Mammon said.

But she slammed the door behind her and continued to the student counsel room. She found a closet in the room and shut herself in it. She leaned against the wall and buried her face in her hands and quietly cried while sliding down to the floor. It was hard on her to see him and still love him deeply after she saw him cheat on her.

As she cried, she heard the door open and the sound of footsteps.

“Ellie? Ellie, where are you?”

“Mammon as you can see, she’s not here.”

“Well, where is she? She was here for a day and hasn’t come to see me! I would like to know why Lucifer.” yelled Mammon.

“Maybe you were too busy with her replacement. Yesterday during the meeting Lord Diavolo brought her in, but you needed to run to Finely for whatever godforsaken reason.”

“You stay out of this Satan! This has nothing to do with you.” Mammon yelled.

“It has everything to do with me because she saw you with him yesterday with all his shopping, she even saw him kiss you, dumbass. You broke her and that’s why she doesn’t want to see you, you ungrateful scumbag.” shouted Satan.

“That’s not true, Finely and I aren’t-”

“Oh, shut up Mammon. You don’t think I didn’t notice how you two sneak into each other’s rooms at night? I knew what was going on, which is why I’m furious at Diavolo for bringing her back without my knowledge. I wanted to protect her from you!” yelled Lucifer.

There was a long silence.

“Now you have two choices Mammon. You can go back to class and leave Ellie alone or go back to the house and think about the choices you have made in the last couple of months.” Lucifer warned Mammon.

“But I need to see-”

“No, buts Mammon. Those are your only choices.” growled Lucifer.

Ellie heard a sigh and a soft growl, then the sound of footsteps and the click of the door shutting. She stood up from the floor and stood near the door.

“Ellie, little one, you can come out from the closet, he’s gone.”

She bit her lips and slowly opened the door. Lucifer and Satan stood on the other side, waiting for her.

“Are you okay Ellie?” asked Satan.

She shook her head, her lower lip started to tremble, her eyes started to water again. Before the first tear fell, Lucifer pulled her into a tight embrace, placing one arm around her shoulders and the other hand on the back of her head as she started to cry again.

to be continued.

Not the only one

Chapter 3

The next day, Ellie's standing outside the student counsel room, clad in her RAD uniform, waiting for Diavolo to summon her.

It doesn't even feel like she left, other demon students that knew her before she left, waved at her, others that joined after her departure, gave her hungry glances till someone smacked them, telling them she's off limits or dare the wrath of the demon brothers and Lord Diavolo himself.

She smiled to herself; RAD life has changed a little since she left. There were now four angels and four human exchange students, seven of them live in Purgatory Hall and one human lives in her former home, hopefully not in her room.

While she was lost in her mind, Barbatos stood next to her just watching her before he made her aware of his presence. He cleared his throat, causing her to jump a little.

"Oh my god Barbatos, you scared me." she said placing her hand on her chest above her heart.

"I'm terribly sorry, Ellie, but my lord has requested your presence but you'll stand in the entry way shadow till he announces you as Lucifer's assistant." he eloquently explained.

She gave a quick nod and followed him down the dark hallway. Her heart was racing at the thought of seeing the guys again especially Mammon. She had so many questions and will get him to spill on why he ghosted her.

Barbatos pulled up his hand, indicting her to stop where she was as he continued inside the room. She could hear Lucifer's deep voice resonate through the room as he scolded one of his brothers.

A shuffling of feet echoed down the hallway followed by Lucifer's voice again. "Mammon where the hell are you going? We're not done here!" Then a door slams.

Ellie was disappointed that she wasn't going to see him but she still had the others to see.

A loud clap made her shake the disappointment from her face and stood a little taller as Diavolo started to speak.

"Don't worry about it Lucifer, you can scold him later."

"More like hung him from the ceiling upside down for the millionth time." giggled Asmo.

"Now on to the final piece of business for the day," Diavolo said with some seriousness. "Lucifer, I know you've been bogged down by work and your brother's shenanigans, so I brought on an assistant to help you for a while."

"Lord Diavolo, you didn't need to do that. I'm perfectly capable of handling my work and my brothers." he stubbornly expressed.

"Sir Lucifer, my Lord has graciously acquired you someone to ease your burden till things settled down. Is it really hard to accept help?" said Barbatos.

"I can't trust anyone with my work, Barbatos." Lucifer deflected.

"Great! I got you someone who you can trust." Diavolo merrily stated. "Barbatos, bring them in."

"Yes, my lord."

Suddenly Barbatos is stand in the doorway looking Ellie with a small smile and waved her in. She took a deep breath and walked through the door. Chairs scrapped against the stone floor and before she could react, Asmo and Belphie almost knock her over in tight embraces, followed by Beel and Levi with a stunned Satan not far behind.

Ellie's eyes started to get hot as tears started to form. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, hoping to keep the tears at bay.

This! This is what I was missing the most. She thought to herself. She may have had family in the human realm but being with these demons felt more like home than her home itself.

It felt like they were hugging her for hours and she was starting to get hot, "Hey guys, all this body heat is making me all hot and sweaty. Can you guys ease up a bit?" she asked while tapping on whichever brother were close to her hands.

The guys reluctantly let her go, each one grumbling that it was long enough.

"Did you just arrive today, Ellie?" asked Satan.

"No, she arrived last night." Asmo cheerfully said.

"WHAT!?!?" shouted Lucifer.

Ellie looked over at Lucifer and Diavolo, who were still sitting in their seats. It seemed like smoke was coming out of Lucifer's ears while he was staring daggers at Diavolo.

"She was brought in last night?" He looked over at his brothers "Who else, in this room, knew she was here besides Asmo?"

Beel and Belphie turned their heads away to look at anything other than Lucifer. Levi's face turned a bright shade of red as he tried to cover his face with his hands and failing miserably. Barbatos held up his hand with a grin.

Ellie could almost see fire burning bright in his eyes as he got angrier. He stood from his seat and when up to Diavolo. He put up his hands like he wanted to strangle the demon lord but he couldn't, so he silently shook his hands and turned away.

He let out a sigh and pinched the bridge with his black gloved hand while closing his eyes, "How did you sneak her in and out, past all of us, at the house?" he asked.

"Oh, I didn't." said Diavolo.

Lucifer's eyes pooped open, "What do you mean? She didn't sleep in her room at the House of Lamentation?"

"No. She slept in one of my rooms in the castle." he smiled.

Everyone can see Lucifer's eye twitch as he grew more annoyed at Divolo's answers. "Then she'll be sleeping at the house tonight." he declared.

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen, Lucifer. She'll be staying with me during her stay. You already have an exchange student staying with you. You guys are more than welcomed to visit her at the castle." Diavolo formally declared.

Lucifer knew he couldn't go against Diavolo's orders. His eye's shifted to his brothers and Ellie, "You are dismissed. Lord Diavolo I would like to discuss matters more in private, if you will."

"No need to tell us twice," said Levi.

Beel lifted Ellie up, princess style, and walked out of the room with the others speed walking behind them. Once they make it outside, to the courtyard, Beel sets her back down on her feet and pulls her into a tight hug. She had to turn her head to the side so as to not be suffocated by Beel’s muscular chest.

“I missed you, Ellie.” he gave her a light squeeze.

Ellie smiled against him and tried to wrap her arms around him, “I missed you too, Beel.”

“Hey, Beel share Ellie. Some of us didn’t get a proper hug from her,” pouted Asmo.

Beel slowly let her go, Asmo then wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind, once Beel had stepped away from her.

“Oh, Ellie love, how I missed our daily skin care routines and spa days.” He released her and turned her around to examine her face, “Well look at you, your skin is still pristine, next to me of course.” He giggled

That made her laugh, “Well I didn’t want to let you down and go back to doing nothing.”

“That’s my girl! Now we have to plan a spa day. Oh, oh maybe even a day at the salon too!” Asmo went on and on his in own little world of beauty talk.

She felt a light tap on her shoulder, turning her head, she spots Levi standing behind her. He gave her a shy smile as his cheeks started taking on a pink hue.

“I know I shouldn’t expect anything, especially being a shut-in but I was hoping to-”

She cut him off by giving him a hug. She felt his body shiver as pure bliss flooded his system. “I missed you too, Levi.”

He didn’t get the chance to hug her back as she was pulled away from him and now stood face to face with Belphie. His sleep laden eyes showed love and affection for her. He quickly pulled her into a tight hug, “Now we’re complete again, Ellie.”

Her heart squeezed at his words. She did feel complete again and it took her going back to the human realm to realize it.

“Oi, I still need an explanation on how you guys knew she was coming and I didn’t.” growled Satan.

Belphie let her go, reluctantly. She turned her attention to Satan and gave him her best smile.

“I was going to tell you and these guys didn’t know until last night when I was given word that I was returning. But Barbatos had other plans and decided that we all needed to be surprised on my arrival.”

Her clarification must’ve made him feel better because he rushed to her and wrapped his arms around her. “I thought you left me out of everything.” he whispered.

She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him, “Never. I’ll always tell you everything.”

He let out a sigh of relief and gave her another squeeze.

“C’mon guys, Hell’s Kitchen’s having a special on hellfire magma cobra steak with Vjedogonia Bile Soup.” said a hungry Beel.

Ellie almost wanted to laugh but this was normal again. “Okay Beel, as long as we can stop at Madam Scream’s. I’ve been craving Hell Cream Cat Tongue Cookies.”

“Deal!”

“I’ll get them for you since you don’t have any Devildom currency on you, right?” asked Satan.

Ellie did a facepalm since she forgot that when she left, she gave her money to Lucifer since she had no use for it in the human realm, “Thank you Satan, I would appreciate that.”

Asmo chimed in, “I want to buy Ellie something too! Let’s stop at Majolish so I can pick out an outfit for her.”

As they walked through town, each one of the boys said they wanted to get her something, but all she wanted right now, was to see the demon of greed.

Just as she was thinking of him, he walked out of Majolish, his one hand heavy with shopping bags. Her heart leapt in her chest and she started to run to him when a very feminine man walked out of the same store and grabbed his hand and planted a kiss on his lips.

To be continued.

Not the Only one

Chapter 2

The demon ruler stood in all his utter glory, wearing his red RAD uniform, bright red hair and just as bright toothy smile. Behind him was his trusty servant, Barbatos, who was also in his RAD uniform.

"Welcome back, Ellie. " Diavolo said again, his smile seems to have grown wider.

Ellie just stared at the enigma that was the demon lord, her face showed no emotion as she waited for something other than a greeting from his mouth. His smile started to falter as she sat there, not doing or saying anything.

"Why aren't you happy and jumping around?" He asked.

"Oh I don't know, maybe it could be the fact that the email I received says I would return in two weeks not as soon as I open it." She glowered as she crossed her arms.

Diavolo gave her a quizzical look. "What do you mean? I told Barbatos the reply to you two weeks ago. I was fetching you today." He sounded earnest.

They both looked towards the rascally demon. "My apologies, sir. I must've forgotten about the email and sent it a while ago." He didn't look too apologetic with his innocent smile.

Both Ellie and Diavolo knew Barbatos, he didn't forget, he was too meticulous. So he did it for fun, just to catch her unaware. Ellie shook her head and stood up from the floor, "Well it doesn't matter now, but I didn't prepare anything for this trip so this," she gestures to her fleece pajamas, "is all I have to wear."

Diavolo moved his hand to stroke his chin with his forefinger, "That is a conundrum. Barbatos?" he fully turn towards the demon servant.

"Already taken care off my Lord. There's a full wardrobe of new clothes and her original RAD school uniform." he said with a slight bow.

"Excellent Barbatos, I knew you would have everything prepared," he laughed heartily.

"Wait? My RAD uniform? But I'm only staying for a few days, aren't I?"

"You didn't fully read the email, did you?: asked Barbatos.

Ellie quickly lifted her D.D.D. to her face and read through the whole email. At the bottom, in almost tiny print was how long her stay was. Her device nearly slips from her hands. "A month? Why a full month? And what the hell am I gonna do for a full month?" she nearly screeched.

"We'll send you back at the next New Moon in the human realm and you'll be Lucifer and my assistant. You know what it's like here in Devildom and you can be a big help to Lucifer and myself. Plus you'll be able to stop the brothers from squabbling over everything. Oh." Diavolo took a couple steps towards Ellie and plucked the D.D.D. from her hands, "Boys, I know you're there."

Ellie's face flushed. She totally forgot she was on the phone with Levi, Asmo, Beel and Belphie. She could hear them whispering back and forth on who should answer first. Ultimately it was Asmo.

"Yes, Lord Diavolo dear?" he nearly sang.

"I want you guys the keep this secret until tomorrow. This is suppose to be a surprise for everyone and I would like to see Lucifer's reaction tomorrow morning. Can you do that for me?" he asked sweetly.

"Yes, Sir, Diavolo, Sir!" Asmo tweeted.

"Good, now get some rest. You wouldn't want to miss Ellie tomorrow morning by sleeping in now, would you?"

"Wait, so Ellie isn't coming to the House of Lamentation?" asked Levi.

"Nope, she'll be staying in my castle. Now goodnight boys, Ellie needs to sleep." He ended the call before any of the guys could ask more questions and handed back her device. "Now Barbatos and I will take you back to the castle and show you to your room that you will be staying in." he turned and started walking out of the student council room will Barbatos right behind him.

Ellie didn't like where this was going but she didn't have a choice. She followed the two demons out. As she stepped outside, it felt like she was whole again. The eternal night sky glittered above her, she closed her eyes and just enjoyed being back in the one place she knew she belonged.

"Ahem," Her eyes snapped open at someone clearing their throat and there stood Barbatos. She must've fallen too far behind if he had to come fetch her.

Her cheeks flushed at the slight embarrassment, "Sorry."

He nodded and motioned with his hand the direction she was supposed to be following Diavolo and scurried off to catch up to him with Barbatos trailing behind her.

Once they reached the castle, she stood in awe of it's glory. One would think she would be use to it considering how many times she's been there with the Avatars of Sin, but she was still amazed at the sheer size of the building and all of the mystical objects it held.

"Right this way Ellie." Said Barbatos from the entrance.

She jogged to keep up with the long legged men. As she caught up yet again, Diavolo was rambling on about the school and how great it was going and how they have expanded the exchange program to let in more humans and angels. Ellie figured it was maybe 3 or 4 more people then the original 2 and 2. He also mentioned how stressed out Lucifer seemed to be as of late and he hoped that she would take some of the work loud off of his plate.

"Yeah, right. Like Lucifer would let me touch his paperwork." she thought to herself.

"Ah, here we are. The lovely suite you'll be staying in." Said Diavolo.

They finally stopped at a door that had an unusual design carved into the wood. When Diavolo pushed it open, she could hardly believe her eyes. It was just like a a small apartment with a sitting area, a small kitchen, a restroom, and a bedroom. Ellie started exploring the suite and became fully aware that it was definitely designed by a king. The sitting area had a sectional that was covered in fluffy pillows and plush blankets. The kitchen was stocked with all the cookware and the best ingredients any chef would want. The bathroom had a hot tub like bathtub and the cabinets were full of beauty products that Asmo would kill for. She opened the door leading to the bedroom and nearly gasped as the size of the bed. It was big enough to have all seven brothers and her sleep on it together and still have room to spare.

Ellie turned to the demon Lord who had a smug smile on his face, "I take it that the room is to your liking?" He asked.

All she could do was nod, she had no words. Her mind was stuck on the fact that he did way too much for her and she felt touched by it.

"That's wonderful. Someone will escort you to the Academy in the morning, please be ready for when they do." He was about to walk away when Ellie was able to find her voice.

"Wait!" He looked at her, "why couldn't I stay at the House of Lamentation?" She finally asked.

He gave her a sad smile, "Another student is housed there." And he walked away, leaving her to her own devices.

Not the Only One

It's been almost 6 months since Ellie left Devildom. She's kept in touch with all the brothers but the one she really wants to talk to has gone silent and has given his brothers his call slot. She writes to Diavolo asking to visit everyone and he arranges it, but once she gets there she has to reside in the demon lords castle and the brothers are trying to stop her from seeing the one she really needs to see.

Chapter 1 It's been two months since Ellie has talked to Mammon. Every Monday he's been a no show and all the others take turns calling her, hoping to make her feel better about her boyfriend ditching her...yet again.

She was laying down on her bed after a long day of being on her feet, she was snug in a fresh pair of fleece pajamas, had a bag of freshly popped popcorn and was watching a rerun of Dirty Jobs. She was texting a few of the boys from Devildom telling them her woes and how a certain demon hasn't returned her messages or called her.

Asmo: I told you he was scummy! Nothing good ever comes from the scummiest of scum! 😡😡

Levi: I would agree with you there but I don't want to make Ellie feel anymore troubled than she does.

She smiled, Leviathan was trying to make her feel better. She was in a group chat between Asmo, Levi, Beel, Belphie and her. She had asked why Satan and Lucifer weren't in the chat, they avoided the question.

Belphie: Maybe she needs to leave him to show him that she's not a doormat? Ellie, I'll welcome you with open arms. 😘😘

Beel: We'll snack and nap together. 🍕🍔🍟

Belphie: I don't plan on sharing Ellie, Beel. 😑

Beel: Why? We share everything else.

That made her giggle. She typed up a quick reply to the boys.

Ellie: Boys no need to fight over me. You guys can take turns. 😀

She knows they saw it and just waited for their reply. While she did, she noticed a new email. She tapped on the notification and her heart stopped. A few weeks ago she wrote to Divaolo asking to visit Devildom, when he didn't reply a couple of days after she wrote to him, she figured he denied her request. She hesitated in opening the email. She was scared that it was a real denial letter and he was just being cordial and not outright ignoring her.

Ellie returned to the chat, maybe one of the brothers will help her pluck up some courage.

Ellie: Hey guys, I just got an email from Lord Diavolo.

Levi: What?!?! Why?!?!

Asmo: What did it say Dear?

Beel: Is he offering you a lifetime supply of fried bat wings?

Belphie: Beel this is Ellie's email not your's. What did it say Ellie?

Ellie: I haven't opened it.

Asmo: What??? Why not?

Ellie: I wrote to him asking if I can come visit a few weeks ago. I'm scared he's saying no I can't.

None of the boys answered.

Ellie: Guys?

Her D.D.D. started to ring, it was so unexpected she nearly dropped it. The caller ID said it was Beel. She answers thinking nothing of it since it is his day to call her. "Hello?"

"OPEN THE EMAIL!" was shouted through the phone by the four brother she was just chatting with.

"Guys?"

"We're here for you Ellie." said Levi.

"We love you L Love." said Asmo.

"Guys, you're gonna make cry." she nearly sobbed.

"On the count on 3 open the email." said Belphie.

"Wait, I have to get the email up!" She pulled the email up on her D.D.D. her heart was racing and her finger started shaking. She had the boys on speakerphone, "Okay ready."

"3." Asmo sang.

"2." Belphie sleepily said.

"1." Beel said curtly.

"Open the letter!" Levi excitedly trilled.

She quickly pressed opened the letter, squeezing her eyes shut in the process. No one made a sound.

"Well, Ellie? What does it say?" said Belphie.

"I don't know, I closed my eyes. One of you guys read it.

"She heard a slap of skin on skin. "We can't, you twit. We're not video chatting here."

"Oh, I forgot. Sorry." she took a deep breath and let it out and slowly opened her eyes. She skimmed over the letter. A smile started forming.

"Well? Don't leave us hanging?" Asmo complained.

"Guys, prepare yourselves because I'm coming to Devildom in two weeks!!!" She heard cheers on the other side of the D.D.D. "But don't tell anyone else I'm coming I want it to be a-"

A blinding white light interrupted her. Ellie covered her eyes with her arm, trying to block out the light. Then just just as fast as the light came, it became dark. A chill ran down her spine as she waited for whatever it was to do or say something.

"Welcome back, Ellie." said a confidant booming voice.

She slowly brought down her arm and peered around her. It was just like the first day, she was now sitting on the floor of the RAD student council room. And standing right in front of her was the big man himself.

"Lord Divolo."

Displaced Affections.

Part 4

A little over six months pass and neither Yukimura nor Ai haven’t spoken to each other, alone that is. They would greet each other in passing if they were with other people or in a big group but other than that nothing. It broke her heart. She thought it was because he was still embarrassed about the confession he made but it’s been months. Lord Nobuyuki and his bride came back after the confession and had been noticed together in the garden every day after tea. All she feels now is happiness for them and sends them well wishes. Ai was walking back to the kitchens, to help with dinner. Her body felt a little heavy, maybe she was coming down with a cold. Then, she heard his voice. She looked out at the training area and saw the owner of the voice. “Yukimura,” she whispered. He was training new retainers that arrived a couple of days ago. He was covered in sweat and dirt. She smiled as he helped up his opponent he knocked down. She sighed softly and went on her way but not before being stopped by a certain silver headed ninja. “Little lady.” “Oh hello, Saizo. What can I do for you?” she asked. “Dango.” was all he said. She smiled softly, “Okay, I’ll make some dango.” “And donuts!” yelled Sasuke. She looked over at the boy and gave him a confirming nod. As she walked by Saizo, he whispered “Can you make extra donuts for the little lord? He’s been craving some for a few weeks now.” She looked up at the man, he had a sad smile on his face, his eyes showed that he cared for his friend. She gave him a small smile. “Yeah, I’ll make extra for him,” she whispered back. Saizo slowly closed his eyes, like a cat and nodded once. He walked off, probably to his napping tree. ________________________________________ Yukimura knew when she was near and looked over and saw her talking to Saizo. She was smiling. His heart soared but also ached. He knew avoiding her wasn’t helping him get closer to her but his declaration of chivalry didn’t go well, and he felt ashamed, He jumped to conclusions about that night and didn’t get her side of things before opening his mouth. “Little Lord, maybe it’s time to take a break.” said a lounging Saizo. He looked up at Saizo, who was lounging in a tree and then around the training yard. Most of the men around were breathing heavily and looked like they were about to fall over. He sighed. “Okay everyone, we’re done. Great work today.” he yelled out. Everyone dropped to their knees or backs. He felt guilty that he worked them to hard and long. He wanted to work hard and long but forgot that he was training new retainers, and they weren’t use to his training yet. “Hey, did you see that cute maid earlier?” asked one of the young men. “Yeah. I didn’t know that the palace was hiding these cuties. I would’ve signed up months ago.” replied another. “I wonder if I’ll see her again.” said the first. “What? You think you have a chance with her?” Yukimura’s hand tightened around his bamboo sword. He knew they were talking about Ai. He knew he shouldn’t get angry over their talk, but he couldn’t help it. They were talking about the woman he loves. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I? I’m a strong and handsome guy, what woman wouldn’t want to share my bed?” the young man laughed. The other man swiped him upside the head, “Oh yeah? She’ll be running for the hills once she sees you're coming.” They started to wrestle around in the dirt, like they were the only two people there. Yukimura stood a few yards away from the brats, with a scary look on his face. No one else noticed his scowl, except for Saizo. He noticed the air around Yukimura change as soon as the whelps started talking about Ai. He slowly got down from his tree and quietly walked up behind them and waited for them to get into the right place. Once they were in an upright position, laughing, he quickly placed his hands on one side of each of their heads and knocked their heads together. They yelped in pain and turned to look at Saizo. “What was that for?” one of them asked while rubbing his sore head. “Yeah and who the hell are you and what right do you have for that stunt?” asked the other while still clutching his head. Saizo looked down at them, giving them an intimidating stare, “Do not go near the little lady. She is off-limits to you and any new retainer here.” The men stood up and faced Saizo. The man who made the first comment about Ai didn’t back down, “You have no right to make that kind of order.” “Actually he does,” says Yukimura walking up next to Saizo, “He is one of the Sanada Ten Braves, Kirigakure Saizo. Know your place retainer.” The young retainer pulled back his hand, making a fist and was about to strike Yukimura when an older retainer tackled the man down the ground. The other man backed away from the struggling brutes. “Get the hell off me! I was only defending myself.” he yelled. “You were going to assault our Lord Sanada Yukimura, The sword of Japan.” said the older retainer. The color in the young man’s face drained, he looked up at Yukimura and Saizo. _______________________________________________ In the kitchens, Ai was finishing up frying a batch of donuts while the dango dough sat. She was just turning the donuts over to brown the other side when Umeko came flying in sputtering incoherently. Matsuko took hold of the woman by the shoulders, “Umeko, calm down and use actually words. We can’t understand rambling.” Umeko took deep calming breaths, she started to speak with a little speed with her words. “One of the new retainers attempted to bushwhack Lord Yukimura and now I just saw some older retainers tossing him out at the front gate.” Matsuko released Umeko, she heaved a sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose. “So that’s the reason why you came running in here like you had an Akuma chasing you?” Umeko nodded vigorously. “That happens every time we get new retainers! They just want to show off who has the bigger balls! Ai please tell this airhead that this happens every year.” Matsuko waited for Ai to say something but was met with silence, she turned to look at her. She noticed the far look in her eyes as she went through the motions of molding and frying donuts. Umeko didn’t notice as she walked up beside her and tapped her on her shoulder. “Ai? Are you okay?” she asked. She was still lost in thought, turning over another donut. Matsuko and Umeko looked at each other with looks of concern, wondering what is going on in her mind. “Ai?” asked a serene voice. That snapped Ai out of her thoughts, her head quickly turned towards the door where the voice came from. In the doorway stood Lord Nobuyuki. “Yes, my lord?” she asked “Are you available after you’re done in here?” “I just have to finish making some dango then I’ll be done till dinner.” she answered. “Perfect, can you bring tea to the study, enough for three servings please?” he asked sweetly. She gave a small nod, “Yes, my Lord.” He smiled and went on his way. Matsuko went up beside Ai,” Are you sure that’s wise Ai? Shouldn’t you let either myself or Umeko bring him tea?” Ai looked at Matsuko’s dark brown eyes and nodded with a smile. “I’ll be fine Matsuko. I now realized that what I felt for Lord Nuboyuki was just an infatuation, not true love. Matsuko was shocked at her statement, but she smiled, “I’ll put the kettle on for you while you finish up.” “Thank you Matsuko.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After she served Saizo and Sasuke their treats, she took a tray of treats and tea to the study where Lord Nobuyuki was waiting. She knocked on the sliding door and heard someone say ‘come in’. When she slides open the door she saw that all three Sanada men were sitting around a map and were talking about war strategy. Then it hit her, she looked down at the tray and remembered that Saizo had snatched up some donuts before Sasuke could stuff his cheeks with all the golden rings. She must’ve looked at the ninja confused because he said, “For the little lord when you see him.” She knew before she could even get in throwing distance of him he would bolt from her. “That kitsune.” she thought. The sly ninja knew he would be here. She mentally damned and thanked him. She started making her way around the group, starting with Lord Masayuki, then Lord Nobuyuki, pouring tea and placing plates of treats within reach. When she got to Yukimura, she noticed his body tense up, his cheek had a slight coloring to them. He looked like he wanted to run, but couldn’t. He gave her a couple side glances, but was still listening and giving his input in the conversation. She placed the tea cup in his reach and poured the tea. When the lat drop hit the cup, he snatched up and took a big gulp of the piping hot tea. His eyes grew wide, and he made a small yelp and started fanning his open mouth. “Yukimura, how many times are you going to burn your mouth till you learn to wait patiently?” asked Masayuki with a giggle. Nubuyuki was holding in a laugh. “Sorry, Father.” he said. Ai smiled. She found him quite adorable. She finally placed to plate of donuts where Yukimura could see them. His eyes lit up, like a shining star, at the golden brown rings. That look made her feel giddy as a child in a sweets shop. She bowed to the men, “I’ll return for the dished later, my Lords.” Masayuki nodded and waved his hand and continued talking of battle. She quietly stood and left the room. She was heading back to the kitchens to drop off the tray, her mind kept going back to Yukimura’s smile. “Definitely more beautiful that his brother’s.” she said to no one in-particular. She then started to think about the conversation she had with Lord Masayuki. He suggested that she think about what she liked about the men that she had confusing emotions for and if one gets more than the other than she’ll know who her heart truly belongs to. That night that’s exactly what she did. She wrote out what traits or actions they’ve done or even talks they’ve she had with them since coming to the palace. Her list had more for Yukimura had more than her list for Nobuyuki. While she was lost in thought, Saizo appeared in her line of sight, he had a knowing smile plastered on his face. And some times she hated that smile. “So little lady, the little lord loved his donuts,” he said as a statement. She smiled, “He always has, ever since I started making them for him.” she replied as she passed the smug looking ninja.

Well lets see if this is random enough.

1) I was adopted at the age of 12 because my biological parents couldn’t take care of their children when they were no longer infants. (Eldest of 6 children.)

2) I got into otome games out of boredom. I was use to playing card games and strategy games so when i downloaded MidCin and saw Byron Wagner, I was hooked.

3) A worker of Child Protective Services actually told my adopted mom that I would get pregnant by the first boy who showed me any attention, so a teen mom(not bashing those who are).

Displaced Affections

Part 3

It was morning when Ai started to slowly wake up, she snuggled closer to the warm pillow that was in front of her and delightfully sighed. She was content to just stay asleep and be with this warm pillow or whatever it was.

Suddenly she heard a yelp and whatever was under her head disappeared making her head land against the floor with a thud. Her hand went to rub the spot that landed on the floor.

She finally opened her eyes to see unfamiliar ceiling. Then she looked around the room and saw books, maps, weapons and a set of red armor. Her eyes widen when she realized, she fell asleep in Lord Yukimura’s room and she was using him as a pillow.

She sat up and looked around for Yukimura but he was gone. She heaved a sigh and hung her head, she should have known he’d bolt at the sight of a woman in bed with him, he is, after all, not use to women.

Then she got a good look at the state of her clothing and her face felt like it was on fire. She was showing way too much of her breasts and her kimono was wide open at her legs. This just made things even harder for her to clear up with Lord Yukimura.

Ai stood and fixed her kimono and her hair and put the bedding away and grabbed the tea kettle she spotted near his desk. Hoping that it would be a good enough excuse on why she was in his room.

_________________________________________

Yukimura ran to the closest well and pulled up a bucket of water and dumped it on his head, his mind was racing with images that happened last night and then not being able to remember how he ended up in his bed with Ai. He looked at himself and saw he was wearling clothes but his chest was more exposed than it was yesterday. Other then that nothing else seems to be amiss.

He heaved a sigh of relief and slowly started to calm down. He sat on the ground in front of the well and scrubbed the back of his sopping wet head, his mind went back to the image of Ai sleeping peacefully on his arm. He could still feel her warmth cuddle close to him. He felt his cheeks get hot as he remembered that he ran his knuckle down her cheek as she slept, thinking it was a dream and was just happy she was there.

"Why are you drenched little lord?" Asked that all too familiar aloofness.

He looked over in the closest shady tree and saw his companion lounging in the branches. "Just getting a jump-start on the day, Saizo." he said with a smile.

“Hmmm.” was all he said. Saizo hopped down from the tree and walked over to his charge. Once he was close enough to Yukimura, he bent down at the waist, looking at him in the eyes, “Then why do your cheeks look like apples?” he said with a sly grin.

That only made them get redder, “It’s just hot out.”

Saizo’s eyes narrowed as he still grins, “Uh-huh.” he straighten his body and headed back to his tree. “You know you left a very confused girl in your room, right?”

Yukimura’s eyes widen and he quickly stood and ran back to his chambers, only to find it tidy and empty. He slumped down in the doorway, shaking his head at his stupidity.

“Oh, I guess she’s already gone.” said a very unconcerned Saizo.

The poor man on the floor was still shaking his head. “She hates me doesn’t she?” he asked.

Saizo looked at the numb skull on the floor like he laid an egg. “Where in the seven hell’s did you come up with that?”

“I slept with her and ran out like a schmuck. I need to take responsibility.” That caused the ninja to laugh. He had tears running down his face. Yukimura gave him a confused look, wondering what caused him the actually laugh. “I’m going to go look for her.” he said.

“Make sure...haha...you change...haha...your damp clothes haha.” said Saizo.

_____________________________________________

Ai had just finished making tea and some senbei for Lord Masayuki and was heading to his study, when Saizo appeared before her, nearly dropping the tray.

“Dango?” was all he said with a small smile.

“There’s a plate with at least 20 skewers of dango in the kitchen and will be making more later.” she replied.

He breezed by her and headed towards the kitchen. She shook her head with a happy smile. She knew he would be wanting some dango sooner or later so she made it while making tea and senbei. As she turned to go on her way and there was Yukimura at the end of the hall, his head swiveling around, looking for something.

“Is there something I can help you with Lord Yukimura?: she asked.

She saw how his body tensed up and his cheeks turned a light shade of pink. Her head tilted to the side in confusion. He looked like he wanted to bolt from her, but didn’t.

He took a deep breathe in and went down to his knees and bowed in front of her. She started to panic as this lord was bowing down to her, a mere maid and cook.

“Lord Yukimura please sta-” she was cut off by his voice.

“Please forgive me for defiling you in such a way last night. I was heavily drunk and don’t remember what had happened or what I did. I will take responsibility and take you as my wife. I know you love Nobuyuki, but I will cherish you.” he declared.

Ai was speechless, her mind just stopped working, her face felt like it was on fire. She completely forgot they were standing in a hallway when she started to hear whispering and giggles. She looked around and saw a few maids giggling and a few men just whispering and some with smiles and were rooting for him.

“But Lord Yukimura, nothing happened last night. you wondered in the wrong direction of your chamber and I guided you to your chamber and you toppled over taking me down with you. We even woke up dressed.”

His head snapped up at her, “Really?” he asked with both relief and disappointment.

She nodded. He stood up and with a sheepish smile, he bowed at the waist, “I’m sorry to trouble you, please forget what i had said.” he stood and he went off to break up the crowd.

As she saw him go off to the training area, her heart started to ached but this was a different kind of ache, much different then when Nobuyuki had his engagement announced.

She mentally shook herself and left to take tea and snacks to Lord Masayuki, but her mind was still on Lord Yukimura even as she served tea to his lordship. He noticed as she had this brooding look on her face.

“Ai? Are you okay? You look like you’re really thinking hard about something.” he asked.

His question brought her back to her surroundings and sheepishly blushed, “I’m not sure my Lord, but I’m sorry for troubling you.”

He gave her a small smile, “I have all the time in the world to listen and maybe I can give you some advice.”

This came as a complete shock to her as she was only a worker and didn’t understand why he would help her out, but she slowly told him what was going on.

_____________________________________

While Ai was talking to Lord Masayuki, Yukimura was working off his embarrassment and disappointment in a vigorous training session. His body ached, sweat covered him from head to toe and dirt and dust clung to him and wouldn’t listen to anyone about stooping and giving it a rest and maybe a quick dip in the nearest creek.

He was happy that he didn’t do anything to Ai, but was also sad that nothing happened. He thought that if he drank a lot last night that he would have the courage to tell Ai his feelings and maybe let her get to know him better.

“How much longer are you going to beat yourself up over this, little lord? You’re going to hurt yourself and I’m not going to patch you up.” said Saizo.

He swung his spear harder at the training dummy, “Why couldn’t I be like my brother? Why did he have to be so charming that he charmed the one girl I liked? Why couldn’t I be better?” as he said this he swung his spear, to hit the dummy, only to miss the dummy and his spear hit the ground, burying in the earth and his body dropped to the ground with a hard thud.    

He felt a hand on his head, “You’re fine just the way you are and one day someone will see that, if she doesn’t. Just be patient little lord.”

To Be Continued.

Displaced Affections

Part 2

Ai sat on the veranda, just watching the sunset. The oranges, reds, and yellows showed that the world was joyful and peaceful, but in her heart there was a storm cloud hanging in her chest.

A couple of weeks ago, Sasuke told her that Nobuyuki and his bride were getting married in the bride’s providence so her clans leader, her father, can see her get married. 

Her heart broke even more as the Nobuyuki she knew kept getting further and further away from her.

Tonight was a big celebration feast for his marriage. All the food she and the other cooks prepared was gone, saké flasks were being passed around and more was being brought in. Lord Masayuki retired a few hours earlier, Sasuke was passed out on the floor clutching a shurkin, and mumbling about Saizo teaching him ninja skills. Lord Yukimura was as always, deep into his cups and trying to get Saizo to arm wrestle him, but he was giving into the drunk man’s demands. 

Ai excused herself from the festivities to unwind and maybe go to the bath and cry over her broken heart but the sunset had stopped her and now she just sitting and watching the moon glowing against the night’s sky. 

Tears started to well up and threaten to fall, when she heard someone stumbling around the hallway. She quickly fanned her face and took deep calming breathes, trying to get the tears to hold off till later.

She turned to look at who was coming down the hallways but heard a thud instead seeing of a person. Her head cocked to one side as she waited for them to get up. After a few minutes of sitting there and not seeing anyone, Ai got up from the floor and went to investigate who had fallen.

She groaned as she realized it was Yukimura, lying on his back. He had drunkenly left the feast and walked in the wrong direction of his chambers. That meant she had to carry(drag) this warrior to his room and pray that someone will have mercy on her struggling to get him to bed.

She knelt down near his head and just looked over his features. She heard from so many people about how him and his brother look so a like but to her they look nothing alike. Yukimura’s hair was more silver whereas Nuboyuki’s was grey. Yukimura’s skin was tan and had faint scars on his face, neck and on his partial expose chest. Nobuyuki had pale pristine skin. 

As she was looking over the sleeping lord, he started to speak. “Ai, it will be okay. I’m here for you.”

Her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. She was grateful that no one else was around to see her get flustered. She vigorously shook her head, she hooked her arms under his armpits and started pulling him up off the floor.

“Okay Lord Yukimura, it’s time for you to go to bed.” 

“I don’t wanna go to bed,” he whined. 

She again shook her head, he sounded his a child who wasn’t getting his way.

“I’m sorry my Lord but you’re drunk and need to sleep off the bottles of saké you drank.” she got him somewhat standing, she then lifted his arm and placed it around her neck with her shoulder against his side and wrapped her hand on his other side.

She started leading him back towards the dinning hall, where there were still some rowdy men still drinking the night away. She was hoping one of them would come out and see her struggling with Yukimura but sadly they were too busy.

They were almost into his room when he decided to lean into her causing her to lose her balance and they both toppled over, with him landing on top of her. She wiggled and squirmed, trying to get out from under him, she even started smacking him on the top of his head but that didn’t work.

“Well look at this sight.” said a very familiar voice.

She groan inwardly, “Is there something I can do for you, Saizo?”

“Nothing in particular, just seeing this makes my night.”  

“If you don’t need anything and you’re not going to help me get out of this situation then you can leave but please close the door.” she said hoping he would help her.

“Okay.” he said sliding the door closed.

She let out a long and deep sigh. She was frustrated, all she wanted to do was wallow in her own self pity, and maybe drink a few cups of sake but nope those plans were ruined because of this drunken lord. 

As Ai sat there and was berating a sleeping man, his arms suddenly wrapped around her waist and squeezed her, and his face snuggling into her breasts. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head and her face felt like it was on fire. 

“So warm,” he whispered.

She felt like her heart was going to burst from her chest as he cuddled up to her and slept like a log.

Does this man have no shame? She asked herself.

She slowly got use to him embracing her and started watching him sleep and saw him smile in his sleep. She only saw him smiling at others and while drinking, sure he smiled around her but it wasn't a happy smile more of a nervous smile. She understood why he did that kind of smile towards her and had gotten use to it but now she wanted to see this smile more and wondered what he was dreaming of that made him smile like that and if she could recreate that smile one day.

As she admires his smile, Yukimura's warmth started to make her sleepy. As her eyes closed, she heard the door slide open and a very disappointed sigh.

"What am I going to do with you two?"

Then everything went black.

Wiped Memories.

This fic was based on the theory that MC had her memory wiped after her year in Devildom was up and Mammon is trying to reconnect with her through the game. I hope you enjoy this, comments are always welcomed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evangeline didn't feel right and it's been a year since she woke up from the hospital. The doctors and nurses told her she has been in a coma for a year. Her mom had found her in her apartment, collapsed and unresponsive. They still don't know why she was in a coma and all of her tests over the months were normal.

She laid in her bed listening to the sound of her alarm screaming at her. She slowly sat up and looked around the room for the millionth time. Everything was normal but didn't feel like home. Something was missing from her memory, from her life, that she couldn't remember.

She needed to get ready for work. Her family told her it was her dream job, but it didn't feel right anymore. She remembers everything that concerns her job, but she wasn't as happy as everyone was telling her she was when she got her job.

She was about to get in the shower when her phone buzzed, notifying her. She looked at it, her brows furrowed, as it was a game notification, for a game she didn't download. The game was called Obey Me! and it looked to be a dating sim. She shrugged her shoulders and headed off to the shower.

_________________________________________________

All-day her phone buzzed nonstop. At first, it was bearable, but it was always someone named Mammon trying to get her to open the app and play the game. 

As soon as she got home she chucked the phone on her bed and took off her work clothes and got into her comfy golden brown lounge pants and a white t-shirt, then headed off to her kitchen to brew some chamomile tea.

“Hey, hey, hey, The Great Mammon, is here.” her phone belted out from her room.

“Grrr, that’s it! I’m removing the battery and getting a new phone in the morning before work.” she jogged to her room and snatched up her phone.

The game was open and loading, she was about to close the app, when his face popped up, saying “Obey Me! One master to rule them all.”

His tan skin looked like it was glowing, his white hair looked soft to the touch, his smile comforted her for some reason, but what drew her most was his blue eyes. She knew it was game, but they seem to hold so much love and tenderness.

She slowly sat down n her bed as the opening video, each one of the men’s faces seemed familiar to her. She just couldn’t remember where she saw them.

Was it at the supermarket? The mall? A fashion magazine? Cooking show? She thought, but she just couldn’t place them.

As she went through the game, every task and lesson seemed like she lived it. From Lucifer lecturing them, to Asmo flirting with her, to Beel eating all the food during breakfasts. She felt like she sat in Levi’s room and played games and watched anime with him. Her fingertips feel like they held books with Satan in the library, and her lap felt warm from Belphie falling asleep on her.

But what felt all too real, was Mammon’s attitude towards her, how protective he was to her whenever his brothers tried anything with her, how warm his cheeks felt as a blush colored them. How panicked he got whenever Lucifer caught him in a lie or stealing or trying to prank him. 

Evangeline was so engrossed in the game, she didn’t hear the knock on her door. As she continued to play, the rapping kept getting louder and stronger and more persistent, then silence.

A notification popped up, saying she got a message. She tapped on the bubble, taking her to her in-game messages. It was from Mammon.

Mammon: Hey

Mammon: Open the door.

She waited for her turn to reply but the box didn’t give her options. A loud bang made her jump, making her drop her phone to the bed. She looked over in the direction of her front door, then back down at her phone.

Mammon: Open the door, damn it!

She ran towards the door and touched the doorknob but hesitated to open it. She bit her lip, wondering if it was to game developer messing with her.

“Evangeline, I know you’re there.” she felt a soft thud against the door, “Please, Evan, I need to see you.”

That was all it took for her to make up her mind. She slowly turned the knob, the door slowly swung inward and there stood the man who has been all over her phone screen.

He stood with his hands on either side of the door frame, his head hung low showing her his soft white locks. He was wearing the same outfit as in the game. His signature brown and white jacket with a black t-shirt, denim jeans with golden yellow belt and tassel and black biker boots. His golden sunglasses partially covered his blue eyes.

“Mammon?” Evangeline whispered

Whatever control he had was lost once she whispered his name. He took his hands away from the door and grasped her face and capturing her lips in a hot and passion filled kiss. Evangeline’s eyes grew wide, as he kissed her furiously. 

All of a sudden her eyes rolled back into her head and slowly closed as memories flooded back to the whole year she spent with the demon brothers. All the lessons and lectures with Lucifer, having anime marathons with Levi, long nights studying at the library with Satan, shopping with Asmo, snacking with Beel and Belphie napping they ate. Most of all she remembers falling in love with the demon in her apartment. 

Most of all she remembers falling in love with the demon in her apartment. His awful and expensive cologne filled surrounding the air, his thumbs rubbed against her jawline, his fingers gripped the back of her back, holding her still as he continued to kiss her.

She lifted her hands and placed them on his wrists to get his attention. He makes some grunting sound, rejecting her request. She moved her hands to his chest and gently pushed against him.

He reluctantly let go of her lips. “What the hell are you doing? Here I am, The Great Mammon, showing you how much I missed you and wanted to touch you this past year and here you are, a lowly human, pushing the great me away. Why are you stopping me?” he said.

“Mammon, you really are here, aren’t you?” tears started welling up in her eyes. 

His demeanor soften to her tears, “Yeah Evan, I’m here." He slide his hand through her hair, trying to calm her down. "I spent the whole day trying to get you to play the game so you could remember us, but I mostly wanted you to remember me and what I should've started way before you left."

"Which was?" She sniffled.

"That I want you to be mine. I don't want to let you go again, will you come back to Devildom with me and stay forever?" He asked.

Evangeline almost started bawling, she vigorously nodded her head. He gave her a big grin and wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up and spinning her around the room.

"I promise you'll be happy and never want to leave me again!" he declared.

She laughed and cried tears of joy.

"Ahem! Mammon quit hogging Evangeline, we all want to cuddle with her too you know!" Whined a familiar voice.

Mammon stopped dead in his trials as Evangeline looked over and saw Asmo with his arms crossed against his chest, Beel, Belphie, Satan, Levi and Lucifer all stood in the hallway outside her apartment each other biting at the bit to get to her.

Mammon gave a groan and slowly set her back on her feet but didn't let go of her hand as all the demon brothers came in and captured her in one big hug. The brothers held her so tight, she had to squeeze Mammon's hand so he could help her.

"Hey, hey, hey that's enough, she can't breathe." He said yanking on their arms and shoulders.

"Alright guys, let's get going." Said Lucifer, "There'll be plenty of time to smother Evangeline when we get back." He smiled, making all the guys release her and start heading out of the place.

"Lucifer what about everything here?" She asked.

"What do you mean dear one?"

"What's going to happen to everything I've been doing here for the past year? And the apartment? I can't exactly pay for breaking the lease and my job?"

"Oh those? Those were only temporary, we were coming back for you anyways. I just didn't want you losing faith in us if we didn't get you in a timely manner." He gave a wicked grin.

She wasn't expecting that answer, her mouth hung open at the pure shock and awe of the whole thing. Lucifer placed his hand under her chin and pushed her mouth close.

"Close your mouth dear one, you might catch a fly." His eyes shifted towards Mammon, "Or that warning came a little too late." He said with a smile and turned away.

Mammon and Evangeline stared at Lucifer as he walked away.

"Hey!" Mammon finally shouted after his brother was long gone.

"Ah geez. Whatever, it doesn't matter. " he looked over at her and held out his hand, "You ready to go home?"

She smiled, "Yeah, I am." She took his hand and gave it a small squeeze.

He smiled back and they both walked out the building and back to Devildom, without letting go of one another.

Displaced Affections. A SLBP fanfic.

Part One

She watched them from the window of the kitchen, her heart aching.

“They sure do make a great couple, don’t they, Ai?” Umeko asked. She softly sighs, like a love struck teenager, “I wonder how their wedding’s gonna be.” Umeko eyes flutter lightly.

Matsuko took one look at Ai’s face and knew that she was hurting. “Come Umeko, the rice still needs to be washed before we ferment it.”

“Huh? I thought we already washed the rice.” Umeko asked while being dragged away by Matsuko.

Silently thanking Matsuko, Ai took her leave of the kitchens. As she was leaving, she could hear his light laughter mixed with his companion. She turned back, catching a small glimpse of his smile.

————————————

At dinner, Lord Masayuki announced the engagement of Nobuyuki and his bride-to-be, causing Ai to nearly drop the tray she was using. She could feel her heart break in her chest. She took deep calming breaths, just to keep from breaking down right there in front of everyone.

She excused herself from the hall, but a pair of cerulean blue eyes were watching her. He saw the light in her eyes fade from sadness and he wanted to take that pain away and make her happy again.

He silently slipped away from the merriment and followed after her.

“And where are we going little lord?” Asked a very aloof voice.

The man stopped in his tracks, turning and looking at his ninja friend. “Saizo, she’s in pain. I need to make sure she’s okay.”

Saizo sighs, “I think you just want to make your move while she’s heartbroken, Yukimura.”

Yukimura’s cheeks started turning pink, “No, I’m not!” He started. “I can wait for her to feel the way I do about her, but right now, I don’t think she needs to be alone.” He turned away from the shinobi and ran towards the kitchens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ai had just finished part of the cleaning in the kitchen and was heading to her room, when she heard thundering footsteps coming from behind her.

Her heart leapt at the small hope it was Nobuyuki, trying to catch her and explain everything is just a formality.

“Ai, are you okay?” Asked Yukimura.

The hope that came back to life in her, withered. She turned to face the other Sanada brother, with a small smile on her face.

“I’m fine, why do you ask, Lord Yukimura?” She asked with fake cheer in her voice.

“I know you’re not fine. I know how close you are to my brother, and I know that this is killing you inside.”

Shock came over her, she didn’t know anyone else knew how close Nobuyuki and her had become since her arrival to the castle.

“I’m sorry, milord, but I think you need to stay out of my business. Now, excuse me and goodnight, milord.”

She gave a small bow to him and resumed her way to her chamber, only to fall to her knees as soon as she has the door closed. Tears streamed down her face, as she cried at the unfairness of love.

——————————————–

The days that followed after the announcement, Ai felt like she was walking in a fog like haze. She went through the motions of going to town for ingredients, laundry, and cooking and serving dinner. She didn’t do any other activities after her work was done. She just stayed in her room and slept.

One morning while she was hanging laundry to dry in the oncoming afternoon sun, Sasuke came running to her, excitement filled his eyes.

“And what’s got you all riled up, Sasuke?” She asked.

“Lord Nobuyuki and his bride are going to her home, to have a ceremony there then they’ll have one here!” he said happily.

Her brows furrowed, “That’s unusual. Why are they doing that?”

“Her father’s weak and can’t travel far, so their taking the wedding to them so he can see his last child married.” 

To Be Continued.
