AFTER I FINISHED, I PUT IT ON A BOWEL FOR MYSELF and left the rest in the fridge. When I turned to the living room, he wasn't there, but the library's door was open. Cursing I ran down there.
He wasn't on the second floor, so I went to the third and there he was, playing with my weapons in the armory. For Devil's sake, he's like a kid trying to snoop on everything. I hate it.
"What do you think you are doing here?" He turned to me, still holding two of my daggers in his hands. "I didn't allow you to come here!"
"You didn't prohibit me either," he exclaimed with a smirk while rolling his shoulders.
I took my daggers from his hand and put them back in their places. Then I turned to him, very annoyed, "Don't touch my weapons, Adam! If you don't want to lose that hand of yours," smirking, he got closer.
"You're already saying that when I haven't even got my hands on the weapons I am craving to touch," his eyes descended to my lips, then to my breasts and I pushed him away from him.
"Your lust is disgraceful, Adam! Disgraceful!" Taking him by his arm with one of my hands while I held my bow with the dessert with the other, I made him go up the stairs again. "Don't snoop around. This is not your home. You will only be living here temporarily. Stop being so Devildamn annoying."
I threw him on the ground of the library and closed the door again. When I turned to him, he was on his feet, too close to me, towering over me and looking down at my eyes. "I love how savage you are," he held my shin making me look up. "It turns me on!"
Rolling my eyes, I kicked him on the belly, putting a big and necessary space between us. "Give up! All of your efforts are useless, Adam!"
Then I turned to get out of the library and heard a noise in the living room. I went dead silent and so did Adam. In soundless steps, I entered the room again and found a familiar face there.
Sighing in relief I went to hug him and he hugged me back. "You are finally showing up without me calling for you, kid? Toshi, Toshi, Toshi," I petted his hair. "What brings you here? Did something happen?"
"I..." he didn't even continue, as his eyes traveled to the guy behind me. He seemed alert, and still holding me, he stepped back. "Who is this?" He hissed.
"New demon," I sighed.
"He seems quite too powerful for a new demon, don't you think?" So he sensed that too, hm?
"I was quite surprised as well. But apparently this lustful dumbass was able to get out of his nightmare in 3 years," Toshi's red eyes got startled at that. "Yes, I know."
"And then you took him here? Seriously? It took me a month to make you let me come in!" He exclaimed annoyed and I giggled.
"Stop being a baby about it, Toshi. He ran away from downtown and had the stupid idea to hide in the Dead Woods. So he found my cabin and trespassed. I found him in my kitchen," I turned to him, annoyed. "He realized I was the General of Pride, and now is blackmailing me on letting him stay and train him, so he won't tell anyone about where I actually live."
Toshi seemed pissed about it, clenching his fists. And when he was about to advance on the lustful demon, I unconsciously held him. "Why aren't you letting me beat his ass?" He hissed angrily.
But I didn't know why I did that either. Something inside me made me hold him. "Let's not bully the new kid," I said, knowing how this would affect Toshi. "Even if he deserves it!"
He arched his eyebrows, annoyed. "You are lucky that she's here, or I would destroy you," he hissed to Adam, who thankfully seemed dumbfounded by this whole situation. "You called him lustful," he turned to me. "Did he try anything?"
"Yes," that made him giggle. "He was trying to kiss me a second before I saw you, actually."
Rolling his eyes, he mocked him. "Dude, you trying to be lustful around the wrong person. Pan hates this, and the more you try, the more she will crave to kill you. And as she can't kill you, she will probably think of thousands of ways to torture you," but that didn't scare him.
Smirking, he looked from me to Toshi. "Oh, but she seems to be very attracted to me," Toshi chuckled at that.
"He's delusional," he exclaimed to me.
"You don't have an idea," I chuckled softly. "Come, Toshi, I made that dessert you like, from Hell fruits," he seemed excited and followed me to the kitchen.
"I want some too," Adam said, and I glared at him from head to toe.
"Then make some for you! Didn't you say my fruits were disgusting? I'm not going to give it to you when you will say the same about my dessert," I don't feel like giving it to him anymore.
"I also thought they..." Toshi began but stopped talking when I glared at him. "Dumbass, don't ever say anything about the fruits!" Better.
We started eating, and Adam sat with us, inconveniently, staring as we ate. "So, who are you? You seem quite powerful. And... Easily stressed."
Toshi didn't even turn to him as he answered. "I'm Toshimitsu. Fukumori Toshimitsu! General of Wrath, the youngest between the seven."
Adam seemed overwhelmed. "You are also a General?" Then he turned to me. "So you have an intimate relationship... That's why you told me not to go after Wrath? And you even said you didn't give in to lust..."
"Does he always shit with his mouth like this?" Toshi mocked him. "Dude, our bond isn't the one you thinking about, that's disgusting." I agree. "Can I tell him?" He asked me.
"He already knows about my home, and will also be my pupil. Be free to tell him if you want to. If he tells someone, you can just cut his tongue off," I suggested with a charming smile.
Toshi seemed to enjoy my suggestion. "I lived here for about a hundred years I guess. She trained me to become a General and taught me everything I know about Hell. And it hasn't been that long. But no one knows but us... and you now."
"I won't tell anyone..." He turned to me. "If you give me some dessert!"
I turned to Toshi. "See? Annoying fucker addicted to blackmailing me." Moving my eyes to the lustful asshole, and pushed the tray with the dessert in front of him. "I wished you would die eating this," but he smirked at me.
"Thank you," I rolled my eyes. "I never thought Generals could befriend each other."
"Well, we are different from the others, I guess," he pointed, unbothered, putting more dessert on his bow. "And I respect her. She's a lot stronger than I am, a LOT older as well, and she isn't a monster like the other Generals!" He looked at me, melting with pleasure. "Oh my dear Devil, Pan, this one is better than the others you've made!"
"Isn't it? The fruits were tasting better this time, that might be it. Or the fact that I made them full of anger. And for your own good, I'll just pretend I didn't hear you talking about my age," I turned to Adam and realized he was also repeating it. "They don't taste disgusting now, do they, asshole?"
He giggled biting his bottom lip. "Not at all."
"If you are lustful as Pan said, I take that you are thriving to take the General of Lust's position?" Toshi asked while searching for some vodka.
"Yes. She told me not to go for Wrath nor Gluttony and advised me not to go for Envy because I wouldn't be able to get the position from him," Toshi giggled.
"About Gluttony... I don't know how you were able to befriend Farai, Pan. That bitch is a cannibal, come on. She's probably dreaming of eating you. Literally eating you," he wasn't looking at me, but I could see how disgusted he was. "I wouldn't be surprised if we learned that she was eating demons now that she's one. She's so old that she might have been one of the first humans to die and come here."
Adam chuckled in an awkward way. "I doubt that."
I glared at him with my eyebrow arched. "It's not like you know her age to say that. And even if she isn't, and I know she isn't, you shouldn't be acting as if you know anything about Hell, smartass."
"Whatever you say," he rolled his eyes and focused on his dessert again. "But I believe that the first people to come to Hell must be the ones who started the Human race, don't you think?" I also think that, but I'm not going to say it.
"I doubt the original Adam, and Abel descended to Hell. They were pure, ain't no way that happened. Now, Cain is different. If history is right, he killed his brother, so he must be the first demon! Or Eve, seeing as how that shitty head ate the apple and became sinful, and all that shit. I'm one hundred percent sure, she must be in here somewhere," Toshi pointed.
"What do you think, Pandora?" Adam asked me and I tried to look away from his hypnotizing eyes, and he seemed to look forward to her answer.
"How would I know? I was never Christian. I don't know about the things written in the Bible. Only some shit I heard people talking about before, like the names of those people who have stories in their sacred book. And living everything I lived until now, I know that it's all bullshit. There's no God in the Light Realm, only a pretentious jerk with the title of King, who enjoys playing with our souls. A hypocritical son of a bitch, who thinks he deserves to decide the destiny of everyone," I got up and helped Toshi find the damn vodka. "Even though I haven't read it yet, I'm pretty sure the bible is a load of bullshit written by people who wanted to manipulate most of the human race. Which actually happened, apparently!"
When I showed him the new cabinet where I put the vodkas, he took the one he wanted, then sat back and began to drink it from the bottle. "Our beliefs aside... Can you believe she only let me drink alcohol when I turned 21 years old as a demon, and only started that count when I freed myself from my nightmare? Meaning that I was almost 38 the first time I drank this holy water," his mockery made me giggle.
