Chapter 27 - Nimphilium

"God dammit, they escaped." the man said with a groan. His spear disintegrated into gold mist. The man was extremely upset. He was sent by his supreme officer to capture the demon named Tatsuya Saburou and yet he couldn't and he got away. If he was able to do at least of those two things, then he would've been promoted. The man's goal was to become in a place of high power and one day rule heaven himself.

In the midst of the dark night, a bright and blinding light appeared above the man. He scowled and said, "This is not my day."

He summoned his wings and flew into the light. In an instant the man had disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he was bound by golden chains while on his knees. In front of him was a bright gold and pearl white thrown. On the throne, sat a man. The man had tan skin with long red hair and eyes that were piercing green. He held a spear that was very long and grand. He had two huge white wings that came out of his back and was wearing clothes of pure white with golden accents. The man glared at the angel at his feet. He stood up and said in an booming voice, "Arata Hayate, You were sent on a mission to capture a demon named Tatsuya Saburou and bring him back here, am I correct?"

"Yes," the man replied quietly while averting his gaze.

"Were you able to capture him and bring him back?" he asked.

"No."

The man chuckled. He signalled his servant and said, "Tell him his sentence."

The servant walked in front of Arata and stated, "Your punishment for not capturing a demon that is of huge threat, you will be demoted to a Nimphilium and you will forever live in the mortal plain."

Arata's eyes were wide as he was demoted. All of a sudden he fell backward and landed in tall thick grass. The golden chains vanished and he punched the ground in frustration. He looked up and cursed, "All of my hard work just to be sent here for an eternity!"

He was mad at the angels since he was so close to being an officer and after one failed mission, he was demoted with no chance of reclaiming his rank. He looked up in determination, he swore, "If I can't rule heaven, then I will help the boy rule hell."

He chuckled, "Heck, I might even be promoted to a noble demon."

Arata summoned his wings and used a lot of his power to locate Tatsuya and Minyul.

The two were in their own world. Tatsuya's body was pressed against Minyul's as they hugged and stood in the moonlight. Tatsuya was comforted by the familiar and calming scent of Minyul and Minyul was happy with Tatsuya leaning on him and snuggled in his arms. They were totally unaware of the world around them. Though the silence was broken with the small ding of the doorbell.

Tatsuya broke away from their hug and opened the door to see who it was. Once he opened the door, he saw the same man who had just tried to capture him, standing right in the doorway. He scowled and was about to shut the door, Arata stopped it with his hand and said, "Yeah hi me again, sorry about the whole trying to capture you thing-"

He was cut off by when Tatsuya tried to once again slam the door. Arata stopped the door again and said pleadingly, "And I'm sorry for the whole touching your neck and everything just please, I have no where else to go and I was abandoned. I was demoted down to a Nimphilium and I have no where else to go," he smirked, "Plus I can give you all sorts of information that would be useful to you."

Tatsuya continued to glare at Arata before groaning and finally letting him in. Before Arata got into the livingroom, Tatsuya said, "You may come in, but I'm not the one you must apologize to." He pointed towards Minyul who was obviously annoyed and was glaring with his arms crossed.

Tatsuya closed the door and walked up to Minyul who put his arm protectively around his shoulder. Arata walked up to Minyul and was instantly intimidated by his scary golden eyes. He took a step back and got on his knees. He pleaded, "Please let me stay with you. I am truly sorry for what I have down. I was only acting on my superiors behalf."

Minyul got angry. He growled, "Then why were you touching his neck and chest!"

Arata winced at the loud and intimidating voice. He replied nervously, "About that, I only did that because I found in an old tomb that whoever takes the virginity of an Atan, demon, angel or human, would gain incredible power. We angels can sense the 'purity' of someone and I sensed it from him."

Minyul asked with confusion, "Wait what? I've never heard of something like that."

"Essentially the person who takes their virginity will become just as strong as the Atan. It's the same if someone took the virginity of a divine holy spirit. I saw it written in a tome that was over a thousand years old in an ancient library." Arata explained.

Minyul pinched the bridge of his nose before groaning. "Fine, you can stay since you seem to have valuable information. But if you show any sign of trying to finish your job, I will not hesitate to kill you." The last sentence Minyul said while looking directly into Arata's eyes.

Arata smiled and stood up. Tatsuya gave him Minyul's old room with some old clothes for him to change into. He said coldly, "Now go to sleep and don't disturb my sleep or I will personally kick you out." Tatsuya slammed the door and Arata crawled into head and went to sleep.

Tatsuya and Minyul walked into their room and snuggled into the covers together. Tatsuya snuggled into Minyul's chest with his arms wrapped around him. The two were happy with being in each others embrace. They both peacefully drifted to sleep in each others warmth.
