To surrender to too many demands,

To commit oneself to too many projects,

To want to help everyone in everything

Is to succumb to violence.

The boy paused, shaking fingers fumbling for his house keys, fear clogging his senses. He was late…Very late. The last time he was late, even though it hadn't been that long and certainly not as long as this, he had…

The boy shivered pushing the memory away he couldn't, wouldn't, think about what the punishment this time would be.

"Where have you been boy?" A demonic voice hissed as his fumbling fingers finally found what they were looking for and he opened the door.

A hand reached out to grab the boy dragging him away from the door not even pausing to check if it had shut properly before throwing the young one into the living room.

The boy winced slightly as his back collided with that of the couch.

"You're late." The voice whispered, the mere sound striking fear into the boy's soul. "You know what the punishment is for being late don't you?"

The boy nodded, his eyes squeezing tightly shut and his body tensing as he waited for his punishment to begin.

***************************

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

***************************

The sound of a belt unsnapping pulled the child from his trance like state his eyes shooting open in alarm.

The demon stood above him flexing a long, spiked, black belt in his hands.

'Oh Kami…' The boy thought as panic began to surge through his veins. 'He's never tried to use a belt on me before…'

The demon grinned a crazy insane grin as he saw the fear springing to life in the young ones eyes.

Reaching out a hand he traced it roughly down the child's face following the path a tear would have taken if the boy hadn't been too afraid to shed any.

The demon pressed their bodies together causing the boy to cower back against the couch in fear. The demon smirked bending down so their faces were level a hand sneaking up behind him to rest in the boys hair. "I'm going to make you scream…" He whispered softly as he stared into the child's eyes.

The hand in his hair tightened as the boy gurgled out a strangled. "Pl…ease."

"Please what?" The demon smirked, ignoring the child's plea, his grip tightening even more on the silken hair beneath his fingertips.

"Please don't do this?" The demon cackled loudly yanking the young one forward and dragging him out of the room.

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

***************************

'No…Please someone help me…onegai…' The child thought as he broke free of the demons grasp and dashed to the stairs.

"Do you really think you can escape me that easily boy?" The demons mocking laughter sounded behind him his only warning before a hand closed around his ankles.

'No!' The boy screamed inside his head as he fell forward his head hitting the stair with a resounding crack. 'No please…'

"Mummy look!" A young boy held out his hand squealing as he gripped two cards in one tight chubby fist.

"What have you got there sweetie?" A tall woman with long blond hair and striking blue eyes asked the boy as he came running towards her.

The boy-child grinned toothily holding the cards out for his mother to see.

His mother smiled ruffling the small child's hair gently as she reached to take the outstretched cards.

"The Celtic Guardian and The Dark Magician?" She questioned puzzled. "What are these?"

"Dey dawl monster cards!" The child replied looking up at his mother adoringly. "Grampa gave hem tow me."

"Dual monster cards?" The woman echoed amusedly.

"E-huh." They boy nodded his head vigorously, clutching the cards to his small chest. "I'm going tow be de best dawl monster in de whole wide world!"

The woman laughed, bending down to pick the child up. "Sweetie you can't be a dual monster."

"Why?" The boy asked innocently as he looked up at his mother.

"Because they're not real sweetie, they're just a card game."

"Na-huh" The boy shook his head "Grampa said at dey help and pwotect everyone. At dey luve everyone and everyone luves dem. And dat what I wanda do tow."

The woman smiles softly, running her hand gently down the sides of her son's face before placing a fleeting kiss on his forehead. "Oh sweetie I'm sure you can and will do all of that but you just can't be a dual monster card they are not real."

"Bwut Mummy…" The child pouted craning his neck to look up at his mother his eyes beginning to fill with tears.

"What did you do to the poor child koi?" A voice interrupted them.

The woman glanced up over her son's shoulder and into the smiling eyes of her husband as he stepped up behind them. "I was just explaining to him that he couldn't be a dual monster card when he's older."

"A dual monster card?" Her husband repeated in puzzlement as he reached forward to ruffle the young boys' hair.

"E-huh." The young boy nodded his bottom lip quivering with unshed tears as he looked up.

The man smiled as he looked down at his beautiful son sending a quick reproachful look at his wife as he reached forward to take him into his arms. "You can be anything you want to be son."

"Wearlly?" The boy looked at his father his eyes shining brightly.

The man smiled. "If you wish for something hard enough then I'm sure it will come true."

The child smiled happily as he looked into his father's sincere red eyes…

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

***************************

"Come on boy!" The demon shouted as he kicked the young one now huddled in a ball at the top of the staircase.

The demon snarled as the boy remained perfectly still and reached down to pull him to his feet.

"Scream for me." He whispered mouth drawn back in a grin revealing his sharp vampirisic fangs. "Come on boy, I want to hear you scream."

The boy stood there his once bright cheerful eyes dull, somewhere in the back of his mind, it registered that the demon was talking to him demanding an answer for something but he just couldn't seem to focus long enough to hear what it was saying. His body ached in places he didn't even know it could and his head was still swimming from the fall on the stairs.

'I wonder how I can explain this one away to the guys?' He wondered vaguely as he felt another blow hit him. 'They aren't gonna believe that I fell down the stairs this time.'

"Look at me when I'm talking to you boy!" The demon snarled, twisting the boys' face around to meet his.

The boy jerked dull eyes filling with pain as he was brought out of his euphoric state to look into the demon's eyes.

"That's better." The demon hissed. "Now I can see your pain."

The boy cringed slightly but kept his eyes locked with those of his tormentor as something wet and warm dripped down his face, he daren't move to wipe it away.

The demon grinned reaching out one long lean finger to wipe the child's face before bringing it up to its own nose and taking a deep breath.

"Don't you just love the smell of blood?" It whispered, sniffing loudly.

The boy's eyes widened as the demon moved the blood smeared finger up to its mouth its tongue coming out to lick it clean.

The demon cackled in delight as he saw the look of disgust flickering across the young ones face its insane laughter echoed around the still house seeming to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once.

***************************

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

***************************

"Come on boy I want to hear you scream." The demon hissed as he raised the belt once more bringing it whipping across the young ones chest.

The spikes tore through his shirt and dug into his skin causing the boy to whimper softly in pain but still he refused to scream. He wouldn't give this monster the pleasure of hearing him beg for mercy no matter how much he desperately wanted to.

'It's never been this bad before' The boy thought as the demon finally released him letting him slide to the floor pain shuddering throughout his tired, battered body.

The boy felt his eyes drift shut only to snap open again when he heard the heavy footsteps signalling the demons return.

"Come now boy what do you think your doing?" The demon whispered as he stood towering over the child. "I haven't finished with you yet."

Something glittered in the glimmering light thrown through the small window high above them catching the young ones attention.

"Ah yessss." The demon hissed as his eyes followed that of the child's and he brought the glittering object up to the light.

"No…please." The boy whimpered eyes wide as he pressed himself back against the wall trying to get as far away from the deranged demon as he could.

"I want to hear you scream."

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

***************************

'Oh Kami-sama someone help me! Please, please someone help me!' The boy screamed within his mind fear clogging his senses, paralysing him, as the demon steps forward arm raised ready to strike.

"Scream for me boy." It hissed sharp teeth reflecting upon the object held within its grasp.

'No!' Somehow the boy dodges to the side the demon barely missing him as the object imbeds itself into the wall.

"Shimatta!" The demon curses gripping the handle with both hands and pulling hard.

The boy scrambles to his feet wincing slightly at the jarring pain that shoots through his body as he takes a shuddering step away from the demon. The boy bites his lip in thought, he couldn't get to the outside door to get help as the demon was blocking his path to the stairs and there were no other telephones in the house bar the one on the stand by the front door. 'What can I do?'

"Gotcha!" At the demons cry of triumph the young one jerks out of his thoughts.

'Oh Kami no!' The demon had managed to free its weapon from the wall and was turning towards him a feral grin on his face.

The boy swung round eyes darting to the nearest door ignoring the pain as best he could he throw himself towards it.

***************************

Oh where, where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

***************************

The demon grinned giving the boy a few seconds head start before following after him knowing that he couldn't get anywhere.

"There's no where to run boy." He grated out as he stepped casually into the room. "Now scream."

The boy backed up his body sagging in defeat as it came into contact with the far wall of the room.

"Scream."

The young one shook as the terrifying demon advanced slowly towards him, he was beyond fear now he was petrified. 'Please…someone…anyone…onegai…'

"What are you waiting for boy?" The demon said the weapon flashing menacingly as he raised his arm once more. "I said scream for me."

Red demonic eyes locked with the sparkling orbs of its victim and the young one let out one long terrified scream arms flying up to protect his face.

As the boy's call of agony echoed throughout the night the demon smirked bringing the knife slashing down.

"Daddy no please. Daddy…!"
