Shaman King Fan Fiction ❯ Demon Love ❯ 1 ( Chapter 1 )

"Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggg!" a man screamed in agony as the fire of life left him and his soul was torn away from his body. In other words, as he died. In his life he had done many things, both good and bad. He was neither holy nor evil. He was a rare in the middle case. All that was for certain was that his soul was strong. And the one thing that hell wanted the most was strong souls.

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

-Deep in the fires of Hell…-

"This is a very strong soul, which means that those idiot angels will be targeting it too. We cannot afford to lose this soul. Send our best agent to collect the soul and keep those pesky angels away."

"Yes sir, of course sir. I will get her on the job right away," said a servant.

"Tell her this from me: I do not tolerate failure. She has been my best agent so far and has never failed in snagging a soul. If she fails, she will be horribly punished. She must not fail."

"As you wish, milord. Your message will be relayed."

The servant ran from the quarters of the Demon Lord and hurried to his destination. As he ran, he passed many souls screaming in agony as they endured the punishment for their sins. Fires were burning everywhere, but he was comfortable. This was home, after all. He came to a stop as he reached his destination.

It was a big building, away from all of the torture and screaming. The place where Hell's most talented and special demons resided until they were called upon to serve their lords. It was the training place for new demons and it was also the place where fighting demons prepared for the future war between Heaven and Hell.

The servant rushed up to the front desk.

"How may I help you today?" a lady-demon asked sarcastically.

"The lord has a mission for your best demon."

She grunted and keyed up the intercom. "Kyouyama Anna, Kyouyama Anna. Report to the front desk immediately. The lord has another mission."

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

-Up in Heaven-

"We must take action. Hell will be sending their best demon to acquire this soul. We cannot let them have another one. Send out our best field agent to stop the demon and help purify the soul so it can be saved."

"Of course," said the angel. He was a newly made angel and for now he just worked as a messenger between higher angels. At least with this job he got to see a lot of action.

He flew off to find the specified angel. He stopped by a patch of cloud that he knew was a regular hang-out of the top field agent. It was a spot where one can look down on the earth. The view was a beautiful picture of nature - a crystal lake surrounded by a lush green forest.

The high angel looked distinctly uncomfortable in his angel robes, as if he was used to wearing less formal clothes. The angel still couldn't believe that this was Heaven's top field agent. He was so goofy and laid-back.

"Sir, there's a new job for you."

"How many times have I told you to stop calling me sir? Just call me Yoh. What's up?"

"There's an especially strong soul that Hell is targeting. You are supposed to stop the demon assigned to the task and help purify the soul."

"A demon, huh? This'll be my first time going up against one. I'll be on it right away, just as soon as I change into my earth clothes."

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

-Hell-

The servant waited for the special agent to come out. He didn't have long to wait, though. She came out very fast; you just don't mess with the lord. The servant was still incredulous at the fact that a woman had become the top demon. She didn't look like much.

"The lord has a new mission for you. A strong soul has separated from its body and you need to acquire it. Heaven will be sending an angel to stop you. The lord made it very clear that you are not to fail."

"Very well. I will leave as soon as I change into my working clothes."

Hmm… thought Anna. This is the first time I'll be going up against an angel. I wonder what they're like….

Anna walked up to her quarters. She had the biggest room, seeing as she was the top demon fighter. She opened her closet and took out a short black dress, a red bandana, and her most important tool - her beads. She changed from her demon robes and into her earth clothes, slipping her feet into a pair of wooden sandals. She tied the bandana on her head and secured the beads around her neck. Her beads were the most important because they were what she sealed the soul in before sending it to Hell.

When she was done getting ready, Anna reported to the Gates of Hell. When she got there, the gatekeeper determined her target location and Anna was transported to Earth.

She made a large crater where she landed. She then walked up and walked to the direction where she sensed the soul.

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

Yoh stepped up to his transportation dressed up in his earth clothes. He was going to take a ray of light down to earth. He stepped into the patch of light and he was immediately blinded by the brightness of the light. When the light cleared, he was standing in front of the soul and the body that previously housed it. The demon was also there.

Yoh was stunned. The demon was a female…and she was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on.

-Yoh POV-

This is a demon? But she's too beautiful to be a demon. Everything that I've heard about demons says that they are ugly and have horns, hooves, and a tail. She just looks so…normal. She's even so beautiful that she could be an angel. How could she be a demon?

-Anna POV-

What? That's an angel? But he looks so…cute. All the demons say that angels are old, holy, and strict. But he looks so goofy. And he's not wearing stiff robes; he's wearing sandals, green pants, and an unbuttoned shirt. He's so normal.

-Both POV-

He/she is so hot. Holy shit, did I just think that?

-Normal POV-

"Step away from the soul now and you won't get hurt," said Anna.

"I will not let you take and corrupt this soul." Yoh's goofy and lazy face became determined.

"Then you leave me no choice." Anna began her transformation. Her teeth extended into fangs and her nails grew and hardened into claws. Her pupils dilated and her eyes turned red. She was surrounded by a dark aura, and Yoh could see the waves of power radiating off of her.

"If you insist on fighting, I won't back down." Yoh began his own transformation. He took off his shirt and tossed it aside. Giant, beautiful, pure-white wings burst from his back and unfurled. Random feathers floated to the ground. Yoh's aura was of a bright golden color.

Anna ran and launched herself toward Yoh. She was coming so fast that Yoh was unprepared. Her hand glowed in a black light and her claws made deep gashes down his chest. Yoh staggered back and gasped.

"You underestimated me. Many people do that. Just because I'm a girl does not mean that I am weaker than you."

Yoh looked at her and grinned. "Don't worry, it won't happen again."

He took off into the air.

Baka, thought Anna. Does he think that my masters would send me to fight an angel without being able to fly? This is one of the things that makes me better than the other demons…my flight!

Anna's body glowed with a black light for a moment and then a pair of black wings erupted out of her back and ripped through her black dress. Yoh stared as her wings unfurled. They were just as beautiful as his own, but were also opposites. While his wings were pure white, her's were dark, midnight black.

She took off into the air and smirked at him. "Did you think that I would let you have an unfair advantage?" She noticed Yoh's astonished stare. "So you've never heard of a demon with wings? Well that's because I'm the only one."

This time, Yoh took the incentive and flew towards her. He formed a ray of light in his hand which tuned into a sword. When he got to Anna, he swung the sword at her. He made a deep gash on her shoulder and cut one of the straps of her dress.

Anna's eyes widened in anger and she held up both of her hands. They glowed black and in them formed twin blades. She expertly twirled them and then flew towards Yoh. He was ready to defend. As she swung one blade at him, he deflected it with his sword. They were now engaged in a furious sword battle high up in the sky.

It had been going on for a while and no one was winning. They looked like they were pretty evenly matched. Yoh suddenly pushed away from Anna and set up to do his special attack.

"Celestial Slash!"

Anna's eyes widened as she saw the red-colored attack headed her way. She couldn't get out of the way in time. She was knocked to the ground and Yoh took the time to capture the soul and fly up to heaven. Anna watched him with narrowed eyes as she waited for her wounds to heal. Within a minute she was perfectly healed, without a scratch. She fell to her knees and punched the ground.

"Damn it! I am so screwed. My lord is not going to be happy about this."

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

Yoh thought back on the demon as he flew away.

She is so hot. I can't believe that I'm thinking this about a demon. She looked so good in that dress. It was low cut so it showed off a lot of cleavage and the bottom only extended a few inches past her butt.

He then remembered the cut he gave her on the shoulder.

Holy crap! I almost cut off her dress! Yoh grinned and then looked shocked.

She's having a bad influence on me.

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

A/N: I really like this idea but I probably messed it up with my horrible writing skills. BTW, Anna and Yoh are about 17-18 in this fic (well at least their bodies are, their minds are older because they age slower). And…Yoh was born an angel and both of his parents were angels but Anna was once a human. How did she turn into a demon? You'll see next chapter.
