Chapter 10 - You Took The Wrong Person

The student council office buzzes with shocked whispers as you leave, badge gleaming on your chest. Kaori slumps in her chair, the contract lying before her.

"Did... did the demon prince just join the disciplinary committee?" a council member stammers.

*The power balance shifts yet again as students process this development - the rebellious demon prince now wearing the badge of authority.*

Akiko smirks from her position by the window, watching you stride across the courtyard. Her neck still bears marks from last night's passion.

"The committee meetings just got more interesting," she purrs, touching her badge that matches yours.

Through the windows, female students point and whisper, their usual hierarchy thrown into further chaos.

the council meeting was over and just as Aki came out, she disappeared which makes everyone gasp. I'm took her from there at high speed with a bit of my martial arts and we were on top of the school building. she was so shocked. "hey why would you be doing that. I almost had a heart attack." she said and I laughed a bit.

Akiko trembles in your arms atop the building, her heart racing from the sudden transportation.

"You're impossible," she huffs, but her eyes sparkle with excitement. Her uniform skirt flutters in the wind as she presses against you.

"I just wanted some private time," you whisper, making her shiver.

*The afternoon sun bathes the rooftop in golden light as other students point up at the couple.*

"Well, you have me now..." she purrs, fingers trailing down your chest. "What are you going to do about it?"

Through the stairwell door, council members can be heard searching for their missing disciplinary head.

i brushed my hand through her hair and was about to kiss her but before our lips could meet, the sound of a chopper moving at high speed was heard. there were men in black outfits hanging outside the choppers and they were holding guns. I held Aki and leaped off the building asking if anything like this ever happens in the school. she said no and we appeared next to the council members and I asked "madam President want to tell me what's going on here." kaori looked really shocked and from the look of things, she did not know either. the school's alarm started ringing and the shutdown sequence was initiated. the defence mechanism of the school activated and fired at them. I started looking for my sister and called her up. "where are you?" I asked and before she could speak, I heard a man grab her screaming I got one. the man picked up her phone and I heard my sister tell don't inject me with that. "trust me. no where on this planet is safe for you anymore." I said and broke the nearest wall with a kick. they were now escaping and I saw one of them holding my sister. she was unconscious and he placed her on the stealth chopper they came with. "I'll kill you!!" I yelled after them as the chopper flew off.

The academy erupts into chaos as alarms blare. Akiko grabs your arm, her face pale with concern.

"Those weren't normal mercenaries," she whispers. "The school's defense system should have stopped them..."

*The remaining students huddle in groups, whispering fearfully as the reality sinks in - someone just breached Eden Academy's legendary security.*

"Brother..." Miyuki's last frightened words echo in your mind.

Through the shattered windows, the stealth chopper disappears into the clouds, taking your sister with it. The usually composed Kaori looks shaken, her perfectly manicured hands trembling as she dials numbers on her phone.

"The school is in lockdown," she announces. "No one leaves until we figure out what happened."

I called my mom immediately. "send me an air drop." I said and she replied "already on it son. let them know who they just messed with." my mom completed and at that moment, a shuttle landed in the middle of the school field. every member of the demon family has a tracker and distress system implanted in their bodies. my mom sensed miyuki's own and already sent me my gear. I run to the drop and activated it. opening up, my battle gear was displayed and I activated it. I was really angry at this moment and Aki approached me while everyone was scared. "hey." she said softly and I turned to look at her. my nanotech suit covering my body. she placed her hand on my chest and said "make them pay " I nodded to her and turned around blasting off into the air and following the tracker.

The academy watches in awe as your nanotech suit forms around you, the black and red armor gleaming in the sunlight. Akiko's fingers trace the glowing power core on your chest, her eyes filled with determination and worry.

"Bring her back," she whispers, standing on tiptoes to press a quick kiss to your faceplate.

*The remaining students gather at windows and balconies, watching their demon prince transform into something far more dangerous.*

Through the chaos, Kaori's voice rings out: "The academy's defenses were sabotaged from within. Someone helped them..."

The wind whips around you as your thrusters power up, leaving scorch marks on the pristine lawn. The hunt begins.

I followed the stealth chopper activating my camouflage and followed them to their base. after they locked my sister in the isolation chamber, she finally woke up. she saw my little drone behind them and smiled. "do you know who you just messed with." she asked and the man said "I don't know, but since you from Eden academy, your ransom is going to be a lot." miyu laughed and sat cross legged on the floor. "we will see." I landed in the middle of the base and took out those standing guard before they could react. they took out a computer containing the data of all the academy students and asked her what family she was from. "demon family " she said and the man shook. in his haze, he called the family and my parents appeared on the screen. before he could disconnect the call, the ceiling broke and I entered. my parents were broadcasting the call and every major family was watching this. "I told you that you would die remember." I said and deactivated my helmet. the students of Eden academy were also watching this. I stabbed the guys legs with two katanas and pushed them into the ground preventing him from moving. I formed two more katanas and pierced them into his shoulders. the people of Eden academy covered their mouths and I smiled. "you want to know what a human heart looks like." I asked and he shook his head breathing heavily. I opened the isolation chamber to let my sister out. forming one more sword, I separated his head from his body then retracted all five swords integrating them into my suit. "let's go sis." I said and the broadcast ended. I guess my dad made that broadcast to show the world that even if the demon family is more kind these days, we are still the most dangerous.

The academy falls silent as you return through the shattered skylight, Miyuki safe in your arms. Your nanotech armor still gleams with fresh blood.

"Welcome back," Akiko breathes, rushing to embrace you both.

*The students whisper in terrified awe, finally understanding why the demon family earned their name.*

Through the windows, emergency vehicles flash their lights, investigating the security breach. Kaori stands pale-faced, watching security footage of your brutal revenge display.

"Brother..." Miyuki smiles weakly. "You made quite a mess."

"come on let's get you checked sis." I said as I approached the emergency unit that had arrived at the school. another chopper landed and this time, it was my parents. they first checked on miyuki and approached me. "good job son." dad said and I smiled "you know I'll do anything for my sister old man." I said and he held my shoulder. I went to the shuttle in which my suit was and unarmed myself placing the suit back into it. it flew back where it came from and I returned to my parents. my mom went to pull Aki and brought her to our place. "look it's my daughter in law " mom said and Aki blushed. "hope you are treating her well son." my dad said and I smiled scratching my head. mom held my ear and pulled it. "mom you'll stretch my ear." I said as I was in pain and she didn't let go. all the students bust out laughing before my mom finally let go. "you see now one is more stretched than the other." I said grieving

Akiko stifles her laughter behind her hand as your mother finally releases your ear. Your father's eyes twinkle with amusement.

"Now, about that broadcast..." your mother starts, making you wince.

*The gathered students watch in fascination as the fearsome demon prince gets scolded like a child.*

"The whole world saw that display," your father adds proudly. "Reminded them why they fear us."

Through the crowd, Kaori approaches cautiously with medical staff in tow, clipboard clutched to her chest.

"The traitor has been identified," she announces.

"guess you are more capable than I gave you credit for madam President." I said and the security team brought a man in front of us. it was the assistant head of security of the school. he was paid 50 million for shutting down the system for the men to get in and since the attack happened, the president of the security team was going to be blamed and sacked making him the next in line to be the head of security. "I hate traitors the most." my dad said and ordered his men to place him in the chopper. "I'll deal with this rat myself " he said and even I felt sorry for that man. my dad is the god of torture and just as he said. he really hated traitors. the scream of traitors is music to his ears. plus this man's actions put his beloved daughter in harms way, now that's double trouble.

The gathered crowd watches in horror as your father's men drag away the struggling traitor. Akiko grips your arm tightly, her face pale.

"Demon-sama..." Kaori bows deeply to your father. "We will strengthen security immediately."

*The evening wind carries away the traitor's desperate pleas for mercy.*

"Now then," your mother smiles warmly, linking arms with Akiko. "Tell me more about your plans for the wedding..."

Through the dispersing crowd, medical staff attend to Miyuki while students whisper about the day's events - a stark reminder of the demon family's true nature.

"Mom!" you protest as she drags Akiko away for 'girl talk'.

I sighed and went to my sister's side. "how are you doing." I asked her and she said she was fine. they were extracting the substance which was injected into her body out of her and she quietly laid on the bed. I pinched her cheeks and she finally smiled. kissing her forehead I held her hand and sat next to her. "I'll always protect you okay." I said softly and she nodded her head. she fell asleep soon and the machine continues to do its work.

Akiko appears in the doorway of the medical bay, having escaped your mother's enthusiastic wedding planning. Her eyes soften at the sight of you watching over Miyuki.

"The doctors say she'll make a full recovery," she whispers, sliding her arms around your waist from behind.

*The medical equipment beeps steadily as Miyuki sleeps peacefully.*

Through the window, your mother can be seen showing wedding magazines to your father, who looks both amused and resigned.

"You're a good brother," Akiko murmurs, pressing a kiss to your shoulder.

I held Akiko's hand "she is the reason why I'm still human. the reason why I did not loose my mind as a child. if something happens to her, I don't know if I can still be the same anymore." I said softly and Akiko realized something happened to me as a child but did not want to pry further sensing it was a really painful past. "I'll also always be here for you " she also said and I turned to hug her. "can you take your lovey dovey bullshit outside, I want to rest." miyuki said and I smiled. "you would never change will you." I said and miyuki replied "no I wont." we both smiled and left the room so she can rest a bit more

Akiko leads you away from the medical bay, her fingers intertwined with yours. The setting sun streams through the windows, painting shadows across her concerned face.

"Thank you for trusting me enough to share that," she whispers, pulling you close. Her body molds against yours perfectly.

*The empty hallway echoes with your footsteps as she guides you toward her dorm.*

Through the windows, your parents can be seen departing in their helicopter, your mother waving enthusiastically while your father nods in approval.

"Stay with me tonight?" Akiko asks softly, her eyes full of understanding and love. "You shouldn't be alone after today..."

Her fingers trace soothing patterns on your chest as she waits for your answer.

i wrapped my arms around her waist and we headed to her room. we took a shower together and went to bed. I held her close to me and we kissed from time to time till we fell asleep.
