Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"He would be as free as a bird." He replied, "Two for the price of one, I suppose."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana struggle to her feet, still eager to learn this mans identity, and how he was able to make it into her locked room. What do I have to do? You said there was a price, what is it?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"All you have to do is become my bride." He told her, "And you'll gain the freedom of you and your son as well as your eye sight."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She froze right there, feeling her hopes dashed become his bride? How cruel was that? She had already been hoping for Motochika to ask her hand in marriage, but seeing the situation she was in currently, that seemed the farthest from her reach. I I already belong to someone.. She barely managed out, weighing her options it wasn t just her own freedom she was bargaining, but her unborn child s.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Well, if that's how you feel about it." He said and she could hear his Western style shoes click gently against the floor.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
No, wait! Nana quickly stumbled after the man, reaching out blindly. I will! I ll do it! She regretted it the moment the words left her mouth, but what other option did she have? Stay locked away in that small room forever? Live with the knowledge her son was being raised as a tool? No, she couldn t do that, and she didn t have Motochika to help her this time, she d have to do it on her own.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She heard him chuckle before taking her hand, "That makes me very happy to hear." He said before her eyes started tingling.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana felt odd, her eyes growing warm, but not painfully so she didn t let go of this mans hand, didn t try to push away either, and soon instead of seeing nothing, her vision began to blur and grow brighter.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
When her eyes fully adjusted and her sight returned, she could see this man was rather handsome, dressed in Western clothes. "Well, that's the first part done "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana blinked in shock, looking around the stone room before to the man again. How did you..? She was shocked and amazed, no mortal had powers like this.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Do that? Rather easily it's no trouble for me " He replied.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She shook her head, nearly stunned speechless. Who are you? She asked again.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He smiled a charming smile and nary bat an eye as the word tumbled from his mouth, "Lucifer. But you may know me better as Akuma "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Her now seeing eyes widened at his name, and she could hardly believe her ears. Lucifer? She wanted nothing more than to pull her hand away in that instant. But how? Why?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Well, I'm in need of a new bride, you see. My previous one decided she wanted to leave me, even after I had treated her with such kindness. And you looked so sad." He said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana didn t quite understand his though process, of course his previous bride ran from him, he was Satan himself. That was all that brought you to me?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Mm...well I need someone to help spread my influence. Go out and preach on my behalf I'm a busy man, you understand." He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
P Preach..? Preach what? She stared back at him with wide eyes. The church would burn me..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"It isn't open preaching just more...influencing, I suppose is a better description " He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana didn t want this kind of life, didn t want to be married to the devil and to spread his work, but she had no choice. She nodded, casting her gaze away in shame she would agree to such a thing. Alright. She agreed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He helped her stand and smiled charmingly, "Shall we, pet ?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She didn t like his new name for her, but she only nodded, letting him hold her hand. Yes.. She said softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He tapped his cane and in the blink of an eye, she was on the shore line with him. "Out here you're a might far from people but it'll be hard for them to find you should you upset anyone. The church is awful touchy."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She feared the church less than him, but still feared him all the same. What if they find me? She asked softly, looking to him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"They will not. I'll teach you how to hide your appearance." He smiled, "No one will know it was you "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana looked to him again. And of Motochika? Can he stay with me? Can you find him and bring him here?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
His expression changed drastically. "No. You will not be allowed to see him."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Why? I That s right, she was his wife now, why would he allow for another man to live with her? Will I be allowed to tell him goodbye? She asked softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"You already did when he left." He stated flatly, "I will not entertain the topic further."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana felt like her heart would break in two, but she only nodded, whispering a soft agreement.He had set up a modest home for her, already full of some food and furniture simple things she d need to survive on her own.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
His smile returned, "Good. I have some things to do but I'll be back tomorrow to teach you that shapeshifting spell."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She gave another silent nod, clearly upset by the fact she could never see Motochika again, but took solace in the fact that she had Nobu still.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He moved to leave but stopped, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. You cannot keep your child."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana actually felt her heart skip a beat. Can t keep my child..?! Why..?! She looked absolutely devastated, almost like she would cry.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"I will not help raise another man's child. Send it away when born." He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
You won t have to raise him at all! I ll care for him, I ll do it all on my own, you won t even have to see him! She tried desperately to bargain with him, not wanting to lose the last thing she had of herself and Motochika, the only good thing left.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Either send him away or I kill him." He stated flatly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She wanted to scream, scream in rage and frustration, but also from heartbreak. I don t know where Motochika is. She said quietly. He s been gone almost a year. I won t just send him to some orphanage.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He gave a nonchalant shrug, "Guess he dies... "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
No! She shot back quickly, fighting her tears now. Please, let me send him to live with Motochika! I just need to find him!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"And have you run away like the last one did?!" His rage personified, towering over her easily, "I think not!!" He yelled before forcing himself to calm down, "If it will make you more...cooperative...after he is born,I will take him to Motochika."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana had barely registered that she had broken out in a cold sweat, having taken a step back out of fear, knees trembling. Qatar couldn t even speak, only nodding numbly, face a bit pale.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
His smile returned like he never lost his temper, "Good. I'm glad."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She only spent a day or two alone in her new home before Lucifer returned, and this time with what she could only assume was a demon, as it s appearance was quite frightful.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Hello, my darling." Lucifer greeted with a smile, "How are you today?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana was heavily pregnant and clearly ready to give birth any day now, but yet she hadn t even gone into labor yet. She looked a little dreary, but gave a nod. I m alright..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"I hope you're ready. It's your big day today." He said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana looked confused, shaking her head. I don t understand? I haven t had any contractions yet.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"You're welcome. May as well make everything easier and painless for you. Come," he took her hand and guided her to the bedroom.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana was beyond confused, following without a struggle and doing as she was told, lest she face his wrath again.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"You're going to give birth today." He smiled as he helped her lay in bed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana felt a small shudder of fear run down her spine, what was he talking about? She hadn t even had contractions or felt anything, surely she wasn t due yet? And how would he know anyway?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"You don't believe me, do you?" He said before snapping his fingers. Immense, white hot pain shot through her much worse than when she lost her eyes.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Her eyes watered immediately, choking back a scream of pain as she hunched forward in bed. Wh What..? She barely managed out. Please stop..! Was he telling the truth? Why had he taken away her pain?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He snapped his fingers again and the pain vanished, "Just lay down and relax, this will be over as soon as possible."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana only gave a silent nod, laying back in bed and looking up at the ceiling. She wished this was happening with Motochika, that after she wouldn t have to say goodbye to her only child, but wishing did nothing.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She could only feel a slight pressure as she was guided to push, Lucifer standing with her and holding her hand affectionately.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana found the way he emulated emotions disturbing, but didn t pull away, only pushing as instructed. Though she felt no pain, she did sweat and strain from the labor, it still taxing on her body.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Eventually, she heard the sound of her child crying, and the demon was surprisingly gentle as it cleaned and swaddled the newborn. "It is a boy, sire.." It said as it moved closer.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana was covered in sweat, hair stuck to her forehead, and when she heard it was a boy, she felt her heart swell and tears prick her eyes. Can I hold him..? She asked, tired from the hours of pushing.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Lucifer didn't seem very happy, but nodded regardless. The demon carefully offered her son to her, and she could see faint seal spots on his tiny shoulders.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Her tears spilled down her cheeks the moment she had him in her arms, and she had to fight her sobs, gently petting his hair, which was already so thick atop his head was it because he was half yokai? It swirled black and white, soft as could be, and already she saw Motochika in his face.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He settled as soon as she touched him, his short little arm reaching out to her to grab her. It was just them in the room no Lucifer, no demon midwife, just her and her son.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana let him grab onto her finger, his small hand warm, and when she smelled his head, she could ve sworn he smelled of the sea.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He held her finger tight in his little fist, relaxing in her arms peacefully. He was so pure, so soft. He was everything she could have hoped for.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She closed her eyes and inhaled his smell, it reminding her of Motochika as well, it only made her weep silently. She didn t want this moment to end, she wanted to hold her child forever.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"You don't have much longer with him, Nana.." Lucifer's voice said gently, "He has to go soon."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She clutched him to her chest, squeezing her eyes shut tight, wishing she could block out his voice. I know. She whispered softly, sounding more defeated than desperate now. I know.. Just a moment longer... She said softly, nuzzling her child.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He didn't say another word and moved away to give her more time. How cruel this world was, to have her son grow up without his mother, to never let her see her only true love again. What had she done to deserve this fate?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She felt like she couldn t possibly have enough time with her child, whispering to him gentle words of affection, telling him his name, how she loved him and would always love him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Lucifer stood quietly for a moment or two longer before moving to carefully take Nobu from her, "Time to go."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana almost tugged her child back, reaching out for her child in a silent protest, only to turn her head away as to not have to watch them leave.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She heard them walk away and the door open and shut before dead silence. That was it. Her last tie to Motochika was gone.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana didn t want to look back at the door, didn t want to move at all, feeling a heavy weight slowly overcoming her. Her son was gone, and she was to never see him again, never hold him again. Tears fell freely down her cheeks, not bothering to wipe at them as she numbly laid back down in bed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She was alone for a long time before Lucifer returned, alone, "There now. He's in a good home." He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana pulled the blanket closer to her, unable to look at him. He s with Motochika..? She asked softly, still shedding tears silently.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"As I promised." He answered, "He is safe."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana s time by herself was a struggle, she had no one there to help her with the daily chores, no one to speak to, only herself and Lucifer when he found time for her. He did his best to teach her magic, but either she was resistant to his teachings, or she wasn t trying hard enough.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He became a little annoyed with the fact that she wasn't picking up his teachings. He would have to try something else.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
They would train until Nana was on her hands and knees, exhausted. I I can t..! She had tried what seemed like a dozen times to try and cast one simple spell, but she just couldn t was it because it was black magic?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Lucifer seemed rather annoyed, "It shouldn't be this hard. Everyone picks it up so easy. You can't even do a basic incantation."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
I m trying..! She looked up at him, clearly distressed was there any possibility she was resistant to black magic?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He rubbed his chin gently in confusion, thoughtful of what it could be. She was a rather pure soul, her spirit almost too much for him to get close to.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana did her best to catch her breath, standing up and waiting for further instruction would he have to corrupt her for this to work?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He moved toward her and put his hand to her chest, trying to push all of his dark force into her body, but it only forced itself back into himself with a painful jolt. He cried out and stumbled back, "Son of a bitch!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana stumbled back, putting a hand on her chest. Wh What was that..?! She asked, feeling like she had been shocked in the chest.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"I was trying...to corrupt you...but fuck if your soul isn't the purest I've come across. How is that even possible?" He hissed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Corrupt... You were trying to corrupt me..!? She looked angry as all hell. Why..!?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"To make teaching you magic easier!" He argued, "What do you care anyway? It isn't like you talk to anyone but me."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
She flinched at his words, looking away with a soft frown. I m done for today... She muttered softly, eyes sad. I want to be alone..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He fumed and vanished with a snap of his fingers.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana would spend the rest of the afternoon drinking the cooking wine Lucifer had provided to her. She never much cared for the taste, but she had no other outlets she wanted to feel, she wanted Motochika and her son. By the time the sun started to set, she was quite intoxicated, sitting on the floor against her bed as she downed more, not caring if it spilled.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
"Nana?" That voice. No, it couldn't be. Lucifer said no one would find her this far out.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana looked up at the door before scowling. I know this is just a trick,Lucifer. She spat, throwing a half empty bottle of wine at the door, missing and having it smash against the wall.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He flinched and frowned heavily, "Nana, it's me...God, I've been looking for you forever..!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
The house was quiet for a moment before he heard stumbling, then the door opened. Nana stood there looking up at Motochika, the moving to grab his shirt. She pulled him forward into a kiss, holding him tightly as tears fell down her cheeks.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He kissed back and held her tight. It felt so familiar, so warm. It was him. It had to be.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Her head was spinning from the alcohol, but everything about him confirmed that it was him. He smelled of the sea, his lips were chapped, and his hair had the faintest bit of salt in it, making it rough. Nana kissed him deeply, her body aching at the familiarity, heart pounding hard in her chest.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
He gave a soft noise and held her tighter, tangling his fingers in her hair.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)
Nana let out a soft moan, having to pull away to breathe, pulling Motochika inside, stumbling a bit as she did so. I need you.. She whispered against his lips. I need you inside me..
