"I want to…can I?" Akihiko said.
"....Yes" Oniru said as he clenched Akihiko's kimono.
"How cheap." He said.
"Huh?" Oniru said as he looked at Akihiko.
"You don't care whether it's a man or a woman, do you? You whore." Akihiko said.
"No...I would not do-"
"AH-SHUT UP!! You piss me off, play something so that I can fall asleep and forget about this disgusting incident" Akihiko said.
"Milord..."
"Can't you hear me, Oniru?" Akihiko said as he lay on the floor, lazily.
"You're...." Oniru said, softly.
"Hmm? Did you say something?" Akihiko said.
"YOU'RE THE WORST!!" Oniru shouted as he burst into tears and left the room.
'Oniru, you're a star spirit. You must listen to every request of your master. You must be submissive and patient.'
Sorry, but...I JUST CAN'T BEAR IT ANY LONGER!! I'M ONLY HURTING WHEN HE'S WITH ME!! EVERY WORD THAT HE SAYS, BREAKS MY HEART, UNTIL TODAY....
....TODAY...
...he broke my mind too.…
I don't care anymore, do what you want!
Few days later
"I've heard that Lord Akihiko seldom goes to the human world" A castle maiden whispered to the other.
"Huh? But why?" The other one said.
"They say he meets a woman there." She said.
"*Gasp* Isn't that a sin?"
"Yes, I wonder what is wrong with Lord Star God, he is the most beautiful star spirit I've ever seen."
"Me too. His presence is so soothing. And he makes music for us everyday. It's so pleasant to the ear."
"But to be honest, he does look sad occasionally. I wonder if 'that' is the reason."
"WHAT ARE YOU BOTH GOSSIPING ABOUT?" Akihiko said.
"N- nothing Lord Gatekeeper" they said.
"Hmph! That's why I hate castle maidens" He said and left the hall.
One year later
I'm the elite star of music 'Oniru', it's been one year since my Demigod was crowned the gatekeeper, but, there is no specific change in the human world or any other world.
Until one day...
"HOY!! GATEKEEPER, OPEN THE DOOR, YOU JERK!!" Few guards shouted as they stood outside the castle door. Milord came out from the balcony and said "Why are you making such a fuss?"
"Lady Ivsana is calling for you! Come down now!!" They shouted.
"Tsk! What a pain." He said and left with the guards to Lady Ivsana's castle in heaven.
I was resting near the waterfall when a castle maiden ran towards me and shouted "L- Lord Star God!!"
"What is it?"
"Lady Ivsana's guards took Lord Gatekeeper with them!!" She said.
"Why?" I said.
"Un…I'm not sure but..."
"I TOLD YOU, ONE YEAR AGO, ANY FORM OF INFIDELITY MAY LEAD TO YOU LOOSING YOUR POSITION AS THE GATEKEEPER." Lady Ivsana said.
"So you've called me all the way here to repeat yourself?" Akihiko said.
"No....you can fool humans...but Gods are not blind, we may be late but, we pass the finest decisions." She said.
"What proof do you have?!" Akihiko said.
"I knew you'd ask for that, Louth." she said as she clapped her hands. Louth, the angel brought forward a woman.
"It is her, right?" Lady Ivsana said.
"ARE YOU CRAZY BRINGING A HUMAN WOMAN IN HEAVEN??!!" Akihiko shouted.
"Yes...but not crazy enough as you to form ILLICIT SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER PERSON, A HUMAN WOMAN ABOVE ALL!!" Lady Ivsana said.
"Tsk!" Akihiko clicked his tongue as he glared at the Goddess.
"Hereby, I'm taking away your crown and dissolving your position as the gatekeeper from-"
Lady Ivsana was suddenly interrupted by Akihiko as he pressed his sword against her neck.
The entire gathering stood up and drew their swords towards Akihiko.
Akihiko smiled and said "You think I'll be scared and give up? Let me tell you, I'm gonna kill you today and take the position as the new God of Heaven!"
"IN YOUR DREAMS!!" Lady Ivsana shouted as everyone in the gathering marched towards Akihiko.
Akihiko killed everyone with his sword and created a pile of dead bodies until only Lady Ivsana was left standing, covered in blood. Her left leg was broken and there was a huge bump on her head, but she was still standing tall; bold and brave.
"I must admit, you are pretty bold, but in the end- only the strong wins!!!" Akihiko shouted as he raised his sword but suddenly he stopped.
Lady Ivsana looked at him as his sword slowly fell from hands, his eyes were still wide open but his breath was stopped, he turned back and said "Oni..." He said and then he grabbed Oniru's kimono with his blood covered hands and slowly fell on the ground.
(Oni means demon in Japanese)
There was complete silence for a moment. Even lady Ivsana was shocked.
Then she ran towards Oniru and grabbed his kimono "W- what have you done!!! You killed a gatekeeper!! Do you know-"
"I'll get cursed by one hundred Gods. I'm ready for it. I was prepared for it the moment I left the castle." Oniru said as he threw away the sword.
"No- I'll save you, come with me!!" Lady Ivsana said.
Oniru was kept inside the royal heaven castle for the next one month but his situation only worsened.
"I don't know what to do?" Lady Ivsana said to a star spirit "I've tried every medicine, every spell, but nothing seems to work. His body has started decomposing."
"....Only one thing can save him now." the other star spirit said.
"And what is it, Lust?" Lady Ivsana said.
"Turn him back into a child… so that he can start again, with a new Demigod."
"But that won't cure him."
"Maybe, but it will surely slow down the decomposition. Let's hope till then, he can get rid of the curse. You can do it, right?" Lust said.
"I can, but I'll have to seal some of his powers in order to lead a safe transformation."
"Yes, do it." Lust said.
That evening, Lady Ivsana entered Oniru's room, his contract mark had long disappeared and his entire body has turned black and rough like charcoal.
Lady Ivsana chanted a spell as she joined her hands. His body started shining and slowly he turned back into a small kid.
She kissed his forehead and kept him inside a basket.
"I've erased your past for you, now you are once again nameless, go find a nice Demigod, Music, I'll be watching over you, from the stars..."
"Maiden." She said.
"Yes Lady." The castle maiden said.
"Take this child and keep him in the blue moon river, it'll carry him to the human world."
The maiden did as told while Lady Ivsana watched the little basket travel on the waves, then she said to herself...
"...Music, I can't let you die, you have the entire world left to heal with your music, if you leave today...
...I will never forgive myself."
