Strawberry Kiss || Chapter 1 - Rainbow Kisses

 

 

 

 

 

✿--A war was brewling around this world, like a plague waiting to finish off the humanity that is left on this world. What could be left? Nothing. Despair for those who been lost, searching for hope, a light. Anything that free them from this death and destruction. One world, two striving to survive over the other. A struggle like a rope being pulled to see who lasts out. That is the world today... It is a tug of life.

 

 

A decent breeze blew around the field, a colorful light was shining down with the trees around in a open field. Cheerful chirping was heard around the land of Aniela. The year was back in the 500 where the only transportation had been wages or carriages. Underneath a tree there was a child; a teenage girl who sat under a large oak tree. Sound of the tree leaves lightly swaying, a soft music that put the world to sleep. Feeling a light touch on the skin of a female leg; her two eyelids opened to reveal two pink orbs. Lips opened wide, a small drip of saliva fell from the right corner on her lips.
 

"There she is!"

Two panicked voices called out; a older female and male rushed over. Suddenly her heart sank knowing that her parents were worried. "Oh this isn---" A tall female stood behind the young teeanger girl. "AYAKA!!" A loud yelling came from the Father who had crossed his arms over the other. The long wavy pink hair, a darker pink with her eyes also a pink color. Which hense made people know they were related in a way. No one here really had pink hair at least not in human race. It still did not bother her Father. He loved Ayaka's Mother too death.

"M-Mama, P-Papa...I-I.." Both her feet stood on the ground, hearing the yelling caused her body to become panicked with standing up and to turn and face them. "Sweetie, you can't just run off or lay around! Do you know what we are in?!" Hina spoken with her words in panic and anger over how her daughter just wanders off. Ayaka knew the danger of going off. The nature around here put her at ease over what could happen. She knew... of course. "Yes, Mama I know but the nature here puts me at ease. I know that I must stay in the village and this was out of the village b-but...I love it!" Her explaining had both parents stare at each other. Haru had been the Father who had his hair long with the color of black, in both of his eyes was ocean blue which had stolen a few ladies from not able to not stop staring.

Hina had worn a short sleeve light blue shirt, the bottom was a skirt was had been a dark pink skirt, a white lace aprin was tied on the front. The style of hair had been two braids at the top, they connected with a long braid down while her Mother's hair was long down to her waist. Her sleeves were wavy near her elbows, when arms wrapped around the panicked girl. "Please just don't wander off again, okay?" The right eyelid would close on Hina before her lips pressed against Ayaka's forehead.

Two cheeks on Ayaka's face puffed out; her lips made a frown almost into a pout. "Maaaama...Paaapa. Not fair you treat me like a child!" The two parents looked at each other for a few seconds, their eyes both relaxed with turning to face Ayaka. That told them she was acting like a child. "Oh, Ayaka!"

Haru Ayaka's Father had his hair down; the male wore a long sleeve white shirt,the collar was hung down with his buttons not put in to show his chest half way. For his pants they were baggy to his knees, his shoes were brown to be round. "Come on, Ayaka let's go home." The cheeks let out the air before her lips curved upward; the smile was warm where her cheeks were red a bit. "Yes, Papa, and, Mama! I am ready to go home."

The walk on the hike road wasn't far; it took ten minutes to return back to the village. Greeted by everyone who knew that I had problems staying in the village. "Went out again, eh?" One male spoke with wearing a straw hat; he had dirt on his shirt and pants. The man was eldery but full of life where he was a farmer with his wife. "Ayaka, you always make this village fun. Come again and I shall bake you apple pie."

We walked by with laughter over our village; it was a small with spreaded out. My Mama and Papa lived on a hill toward the lake. We both went swimming there where we cared for it. Never was it dirty or stinky due to us making sure to help out. It was dinner time when my Mama made some beef stew. Eating it together made her feel at home; since birth her family been traveling to find the right home. This place---Aniela was perfect. It only----the bad thing was demons.

"Mama, I hope we can win the war." Ayaka stated with a warm smile across her face; both her parents laughed with nodding their heads. "We can help them by learning more herbs. After all your their top medical and I hear they want to show you as the hero with all your help. We saved lives and even...brought back a dead person." It wasn't normal for a human---more like a gift. Hina nods her head, lips formed when she pats Ayaka on top of her head. "Let' s just hope we can."

Helping clean up the food with a empty pot; it took ten minutes with us all having our own magic to take a shower. The humans had a guardian who was a protector against such demons. They are at war now. Still...it was scary to think we all would fail if they die. The demons love destruction and death. They never could understand...I wish I could know why they do this.

"Good night, Mama and Papa." Her arms wrapped around them both; rubbing her cheeks against their chest while they returned the embrace to have their arms around her. "Good night, my sweet girl." Haru had pat on top of Ayaka's head only in a gentle matter. "No more escaping to the forest, okay? Unless we are around to protect you."

The female head nodded twice with excitement, her release on both of the two adults. "I will! I promise." Once entering her room, there was a bed with some things she collected. Moving on the bed, gently her legs would curl before closing her eyes to have a dream about peace. It was her goal in wanting to help the demons and humans not fight. That dream...was the one she wished could come true.

Loud panic voices interrupted her thoughts; the dreams faded like clouds burned from the sun's hot rays. "Ayaka! Ayaka! Wake up, Ayaka!" Two arms would shake her by the shoulders; two pink eyes stared into reflection of her own. "M...Mama?" Raising up with her right hand against the eye, lightly rubbing until the two eyes came into focus. "We need you to find some herbs. The guardians have requested! Can you go? We shall help them and you should be safe there." Hina had created a barrier around this village that no demon could break.

"Y-Yes, Mama! I will go right away to get them." Ayaka felt this was serious if they need herbs. The female stood up with changing out of her pajama's which was a long pink dress. When putting on her clothing, the shirt was to her middle of the shoulders, a light blue color was of the shirt. The skirt was pink which was long to her knees. Round navy blue shoes where she stomped quickly outside. Hearing the pounding of each shoe; quickly moving with a brown basket in hand that she had made herself.

Hurry....hurry....hurry!

The forest inside had animals that were not dangerous. Some were small critters, the others were large but harmless. Ayaka had a list where she gathered the herbs knowing them by memory. "This....and that. Then this." Taking her time the female had finished with grabbing the herbs. Whistling a happy tune, her legs moved slow returning to the village with a long trail road. It was then a small smoke appeared in the sky, both her eyes widen with shock when hearing screaming.

"M-Mama....Papa! NO!"

Panic came into her mind before she ran with the herbs held to her chest, quickly with each foot moving faster till entering. The demons were all around with the barrier easily broken. No.... how could this have happened? The flames were raising with the farmers who she saw yesterday. Already killed with their heads chopped off. "N...No...no, no, no!" All she could do was keep saying 'no' before her mind became empty. That was when hearing the scream from ahead where her parents lived. Moving her legs forward, the screams were loud where rushing to slam the door open. That was when two large demons were pulling out the blood and guts out from Hina and Haru.

Both demons stopped when they noticed Ayaka; their heads turned to know their mission was to eat and destroy. "Mama.....Pa....." They started to speak in a different language where she could not understand. "She is the one he wants." The other demon licked his lips when Ayaka had felt tears fall down. "No....Mama and Papa! You...you murders!!" Holding the basket against her chest, turning around to run outside when the demons quickly rushed out to warn everyone. The gruesome images of the village so peaceful from yesterday; had quickly turned to death and fire. Flames so tall that the buildings resemble the worst.

The wavy pink hair swayed when she rushed out of the village; moving to escape from the nightmares. Knowing her parents were gone. Already ripped apart and nothing could she do against them. Hearing the demons and the entire group running after her. Why? They seem like they want her. It was then a black horse stopped to block Ayaka path. The tall male stepped down from the horse where the eyes glow a teal bright teal color.

"No! S-Stay away!!!"

Ayaka tried to yell out when they surround her; everything was happening so fast. Trembling in her skin, feeling hopeless without any hope left. The flames burned the village showing nothing was left but her. Abandon by what she had was a home. The male stepped into view to have spiky white hair, his eyes was teal where he showed some fangs. It was then she heard that no one had seen him. Could he be...no! Why would the demon King come here?

"S-Stay back!"

Her voice yelled again with stepping backwards, her thoughts ran amok with knowing that running away be her last breath. Thinking her body be stabbed to be eaten as food. "Stay back? You are frighten child...even so, I do not wish to kill you just yet." His body moved up close; grabbing the basket to toss to his servant who appeared at his side. He also had white hair which was straight, two golden eyes stared with a diamond in the middle of his eyes. It was like a cat eyes staring only his hands had burned the herbs and basket.

"W-Why?! Why would you come here?" Tears fell from her eyes, a hand would grabbed her chin when the demon stared. "You will do nicely...I know I would find you and those human guardians had no idea I come here. Having them go somewhere else to be thinking they found me." His words were soft like a voice that had calmed her. She couldn't explain why all the tears had stopped. Was it fear? The near death...but he had said he came here. "F-Find me...?" His head nodded once, one arm would wrap around Ayaka who struggled when he got back on his horse to put Ayaka in front of him. "Stay still, my pet. I need you to be still for me..."

Hearing those words the spell did not work; he felt shocked when Ayaka tried to struggle again. The servant looked shocked when he saw Ayaka was not listening. "Master..." He suddenly saw the demon had his horse go in the sky, leaving a ice trail where the demons had followed to have a control of flying. "Snake...do not worry. I shall keep going even if she must kick and squirm."

Two pink eyes widen, seeing the ground looked smaller where her eyes looked up at the male. He had large horns on top of his head, the chest area was buff a little where he had his arms close. Even at this height she could not move with fear of heights. The travel took a few hours where she wondered where she be going. He did not speak in her language only in theirs. Not knowing if they use her then kill her off.

When a castle was approaching; the white surface was over the mountains where Ayaka felt cold. The chilly wind had her freezing when Two arms wrapped around her to pick her up again, carrying over his shoulder to feel the girl skin was getting colder. "So...humans can't handle the cold. Ah...maybe I should warm you up later." The girl whole face was red when she lightly hit his shoulders. "P-Pu....Wait don't touch my butt!" Feeling his hand on her butt to lightly rub it, feeling she was hopeless with his strong grip. Once they were inside the demons followed; two pink eyes still felt exhausted with grief.

The male walked to his throne where he put Ayaka on top of his lap where he had bracelets go around her ankles to have chains attached to them. He had a large chair where it would fit two people. The armor he wore was black, on the shoulders was long sharp silver. He had on long black sleeves, the pants were to his knees where he wore stockings to have black boots on. "This is my castle, my pet. I shall make sure you enjoy yourself however, I called you to be found once I was confirmed you lived there. Ripping you out of their grip was hard. They were easy to squash."

Snake stepped in the room where he lit the huge fireplace which was on the left. Ayaka saw how royal he was, the way he speak had her upset. He didn't care that they were killed. "You had to see your poor parents ripped to shreds. I thought you would save them but you ran." Ayaka eyes widen with shock, her lips opened to tremble. "I-I would have! I just....they were already dead with tears of shock. I...I will escape from here and go back!" Her hands felt his where seeing his long nails. "Really? You think walking off a mountain is safe? You get lost or get cold it very cold here, my pet." He said that name again which she was about to say her name.

A sinister chuckle left his lips, his eyes were calm where he had a hand behind her head, pulling her closer. The family tradition was to eat humans no matter what. This one he would keep. Still how frighten she was trembling and struggling on his lap. He already had her ankles together even if she did run. It was then his long white hair had shown his skin was white as the snow. Teal eyes gazed into her pink eyes which he admired how scared she was. "Ayaka was it? Oh, how I love to see you tremble some more. However...I have use of you." He knew doing this would piss off his parents but no human could not avoid his spells.

Yet, she could. What was going on?

"W-What use of me? You already destroyed what is left...I will get the guardians an---" His finger touched Ayaka's lips with seeing from her reaction a shock went through him and this human. It was a connection wanting to be breaking the barrier. He knew she felt it. "Ah....you can't escape me. I will be sure of that." Snake was panicked when he walks up to the throne. "Master Toshihiro, do not think of doing that! You know Father if he was here that would be denied! Now just make her revive your Father and quickly!"

Suddenly his eyes became cold, almost glaring at Snake who suddenly felt fear. "...Do not order me around, Snake. I will rip you to shreds. I will do what I want whether you or Father likes it." His right hand went against the back of Ayaka's head, pulling her closer where he moved his lips near her right side of the neck. "...I won't let anyone take you away." Suddenly feeling the fangs enter her neck, Ayaka's mouth opened wide when she moaned. Hearing herself made it worse where she tried to pull him away, his grip was too strong where both hands grabbed onto his armor.

"...N-No please! Please don't...aaaaah. It so hot! It burns..." Her hands tried to push against Toshihiro who held her against his chest. It felt weird to be wanting him to hold her like this. "P-Please...." Snake watched the human girl struggle but something changed. Humans always fall to his prey but, never do they disobey his orders. That means this is his soul mate. This girl... "Master, that girl...." Toshihiro pulled his fangs out, lips formed a smirk when he saw Ayaka closed her eyes to faint being exhausted. His arms were around the girl. He saw his mark was on her that he placed.

"Yes...she is my soul mate. Father, he always thought humans were nothing but weaklings. I did too...I been searching for so long, but if she is the one...I must keep her here as this mark will be her prisonment." The golden eyes stared at the snowflake on Ayaka's right side of her neck.

His long fingernails lightly rubbed the right side of Ayaka's cheek; he carefully moved his other hand to grab the bracelets on her ankles to pull them off. "Y-Your Majesty?! What are you doing? She is a prisoner You can't ju----" The cold gaze turned when his sudden dark aura pushed Snake back into the wall to go through with him coughing in pain. "I told you, Snake. If you keep interfering I will have to kill you. Now...she is going to be useful that is true. I want to make that clear. She will be sleeping with me. You know of our mark don't you?"

The silver haired male sat up slowly, using his hands on the ground for support. Blood drips down his forehead, lips formed a straight line to see his King hold onto Ayaka closely. "...Yes, your Majesty I do know of it...she will find out that her leash has become bigger."

Down the hall there was portraits along the walls, on the floor there was a teal carpet where the walls were a dark color of teal. His Father had loved the color however, Toshihiro thought of changing but in his taste he loved it. Walking with carrying the girl in his arms, he held her bridal style with looking down to see her sleeping face. So pure, so innocent he just wished to hear her moan again. The word she was going to say was for him to not stop. He wished for that....

Gently laying down the girl on his King size bed, the covers were a dark teal while the pillow was a light blue. He took off his shoulder armor, the next was the chest area while he wore just pants. "I should of taken a shower. All this human blood will put a stain." Toshihiro grumbles just softly, he laid the blankets on top before walking to his door, grabbing the door knob he shut it before using his aura to seal it so no one could come in.

Knowing all the demon girls and boys be furious of a human girl and smell her. With his scent he could fool her. Taking off his clothes, moving toward the room across from his where a bath would be shaped in a oval like with a dragon neck up to the ceiling. Made out of ice he had everything besides the bed out of ice. He quickly had taken a bath with washing his hair which sometimes the horns got in the way. "...Stupid horns!" He felt something come out which was his long scale like tail. Being a demon had it good qualities and bad. This was one of them... As a young demon dragon, his tail would wag around to smack the other demon kids.

After washing his hair and body, he stood up to feel the water drip down his chest, slowly tracing down his abs toward his waist. His long hair was never a bother really. Thinking of getting it cut would make him look younger and perhaps maybe different. Taking his new pants, he moved to put on his underwear. The pants slid on to be black where he saw Ayaka sleeping soundly. The mark was not harming her until he goes far away. It was a control mark which he can remove the pain until she stays. He must get her to revive his Father...he doesn't know if he even can love her. A human is selfish and greedy. He shall see...what she will do.

Moving his legs over, he walked up to the bed. Seeing Ayaka legs curled up a bit, her face looked so angelic. He couldn't help himself. Crawling on the bed he felt his tail wag which made him grab it instantly. "Damn it!!" The demon had moved under the blanket, his arms would move around Ayaka. Suddenly both his teal eyes opened; seeing the human girl scoot closer to be next to him. Wearing no shirt had him not worried; his heart had felt a shiver which he never had before. Does this human have this power? No....

"Ayaka...you will freak out when you wake. You are so amusing to me." He whispers right into her ear, softly but gently with his hand at the right side of her face. It was then his eye lids slowly close when watching her sleep. He had no intention of making her love him now. Thinking of power and what his Father raised him. "I should at least....see what she will do." His eyes fully closed when he had fallen asleep to dream of his Father again. This time he could see he was smirking.

 

 

Father, are you proud? Did I make you feel amused? I will make you live again...soon. I will. I think it time I go visit my younger brother. Perhaps it time he should start to learn how to kill humans.
