On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

The moon was high up in the sky, spreading the moonlight all over. A beautiful scenery highly appreciated by people who witness. The nights in the demon realm are usually colder. The howling of the wind as it moved was loud and clear, as it touches touched the leaves and rocks, and pass through the waters, chilling, giving a feeling of spending the night at a dessert inside a tent, camping while travelling. The sky was so clear with the stars shining like gems in different colours. The constellations doing their works. Among them, the cancer looked weak a little, dimmed and faded. The moonchild didn't look like he was recovering well.

Huo couldn't sleep that night, restless. He laid awake thinking about how the water dissolved the crystal in his body a little bit, healing him a little bit but feeling extremely tired as if he lost something. He then recalled the information where the water in the river is coming from. And then it did not surprise to understand why the water had healing powers. But still the vision haunted him. "It comes from our precious fall," he heard a female voice in his head. And he felt a sort of yearning inside that he wasn't aware of. 'What could it be?' he wondered. He did not like it. Everything was so uncomfortable and kept ruining his mood. 'Even the nights are spoiled,' He said to himself and kept turning in the bed. He closed his eyes forcing himself to get some rest. And the images flashed once again.

"Shifu," There was girl running behind a master who is accompanied by tall figure who has silver long hair, wearing a white and sky blue robe. He stopped the girl approaching his master.

"Senior Huo move away, shifu it's urgent," she was panting hard, sweating all over. She looked troubled and limping a little.

"What happened?" he asked her looking all over her. Something looked wrong.

"There's an intruder, but," she paused, and kept panting.

"But what?"

"I enquired about him, then one thing led to another and,"

"And?" he asked her. Shifu was watching them both.

"I kind of, I think I knocked him off," She said looking down.

"Are you not a princess, how could you knock people before interrogation. Go to the woods and don't return for two days, reflect upon your mistake," Shifu ordered her. The girl flushed red and looked disappointed. She looked at him, asking for help but he remained like a stone. He wasn't sure about what to do. She left without wasting time.

Shifu and Huo walked back to see who the intruder was. They knew it instantly seeing the crystals lying around, and alerted the water realm to send protection for the Princess in the school immediately. Things were going out of hand and Shifu looked puzzled. He was growing afraid.

"She cannot lose it, this crystals are part of her blood, it can kill and save a person, it shouldn't be wasted, this girl is being trained for the greater cause," Shifu informed him. But he didn't understand what his shifu told him.

"I will go find her," Huo said and left the scene leaving the intruder for shifu to handle.

He walked around the woods in search of her. But he did not find her. He got worried. He reached at the river banks too far away from the school and it was dark and late in the evening.

"Who are you looking for?" he heard her voice as he splashed some water from the river on his face. He stood up and looked at her. She looked gorgeous, the moonlight that touched her skin radiating. The hair dark hair, tied with the ribbon, the slender figure wearing those blue uniform provided by the school that dimmed her looks. He wondered what she would look like in the childe elegant costume. His heart pounded at the very thought of it. 'She really is a true goddess,' he thought, corner of his lips curving to smile, but he stopped before he did. Trying his best to control in front of her. How can he let the image he had developed over the years shatter like that.

"Nothing," he replied. She then took his hands and dragged him behind her, climbing up the tree and entered a tree hut. He was surprised at her actions but went along with her. 'Why is she not upset?' he asked inside his head.

"Isn't this beautiful?" she asked him, as she was glowing. And he really did admire the view. Watching the moon high up at the sky, through a small window with a girl. He glanced at her for a moment and moved away. To him the distance between them was very important.

"Are you hurt?" he asked her and failed to get responses. Then he quickly grabbed her arms, pulled her closer and lifted her blue gown up to her knees, her back of the legs were still bleeding.

"I'm fine," he looked at her as she said it. She was ofocurse lying. Losing the crystal could ache the veins until the flow of it goes back to the normal state. Blood is important and she did look exhausted.

"You feel wronged, don't you?" he asked her.

"Shifu was right though," she said, looking down, gloomy.

"But why didn't you tell him that he came for you," he said.

"Because killing is not an answer, my father would and so will shifu, if somebody lay their fingers on me,"

"Is there not a reason? Have you not killed anyone before?" and she shook her head. "He must be dead already," looking away said he, calculating what Shifu would have done with the intruder who had wrong intentions and dared to hurt the crown princess of the water realm.

"I don't enjoy it," she replied.

"Nobody does, you are an only princess, the queen in the future, crystals sync with your blood, nobody should even touch you, you should know it better than anybody else," he said.

"Let me take my time," she took a deep breath smiled, looking away. "and call me Aqua, Huo," she ordered him. "Just call me that way,"
