Soji's face twisted in pain. My eyes widen at the sight of the dagger in his chest. I inhaled deeply my heart squeezed. Soji's eyes seemed to have locked with mine. His lips moved. 'I love you.' As he exhaled, he went skill.

Someone else died. Ban killed another person that was important to me. I could see Soji's blood pooling from the table and onto the floor. There was a symbol that Ban had painted under the table. As soon as the first drop hit that symbol it started to glow.

I was supposed to protect him. I promised so many people that I would kill him safe. I failed. Yet again I failed. Soji was dead because I was weak. It was the same reason why Shu was dead. Why Amy was dead. My weakness was why Kaleb was gone from this world. More importantly it was why my family was no longer with me.

Rage boiled inside of me. As I looked at the still frame of Soji, I only felt rage. I wanted blood, I wanted Ban's blood. This was the last time that I was going to let him take someone from me. This was the last time someone would suffer because of Ban.

The glow of the symbol was getting brighter by the moment. I didn't care about that. I only cared about one thing. Killing Ban, getting back at the demon that takes everything at me. My eyes went back to Soji. It was awful seeing him so still.

Soji was so young, he was pure and good. Soji was a good person. He wasn't like other people. He knew kindness. He found a way to love a demon. Few people could do that. Soji was special and person and Ban took him from the world.

Moving towards Soji I grabbed the dagger that was in his chest. Ripping it from his body I threw it at Ban. The Great Demon moved to the side slight as the dagger flew by him. He smiled at me, but his eyes shifted to the edge of the rooftop. He was watching something down below. He didn't care that he just snuffed out one of the brightest lights in this world. Was that what it meant to be a true demon?

So much happened today. I felt . . . I didn't feel anything. Everything was hollow inside of me. I should have felt something, but even the rage was leaking from me. My eyes shifted to Ban again. He felt things. Ban was a demon in every sense of the word, but even he felt things. He loved me, and for the first time I believed that he actually does love me.

"What have you done?" I asked him my voice was cold, it was hard. Not the tone that I normally take with Ban. He turned towards me. His black eyes looking at me. They held my gray eyes and smiled. He probably saw me as the human he killed two hundred years ago.

"I did what I told you I was going to do, Natsu. Don't be so shocked." I looked back at Soji. He was still bleeding out. Still feeding the symbol on the floor. "Come here, Natsu. Come see." See what? What was it that he was looking at. I walked towards the edge. Looking over the side my eyes widen at the sight.

A portal to hell had opened under us. I could see thousands of demon rushing towards the surface. They all were moving as if swimming towards us. Then all at once they burst through. Hundreds of thousand of lesser and lower class demons were flooding the sky.

They covered the sky moving as if it was alive. It was unthinkable, it was fearsome. I backed away from the edge and frowned. I didn't want this, it was worse than the gate that was opened when I was human. This was hell. All of hell was coming to earth. I couldn't allow it, I didn't know how I could stop it either.

"Don't be scared Natsu, you asked me to take you to hell once. I've brought hell to you instead." I shook my head. I was stupid and afraid when I asked Ban to take me to hell. I had thought to say that would let me keep my life. Ban still killed me.

Ban grabbed my hand before I could back away from the edge. "For the last two hundred years you've been wonder what the difference between humans and demons were. I'll tell you the secret, Natsu." Ban ran his hand up my shirt. I hated his touch, but I hated him as well. He was poison just like his blood.
