Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akefia sighed as he walked around aimlessly in Second Hell, red cloak trailing behind him. 'Where did he go?!' He wondered. He looked to his right, then his left. He growled as he stopped. "Damn it!"

He flopped on the ground and crossing tan colored arms over his bear chest and black jean claded legs. He closed his lilac colored eyes and tilled his head downwards so his white hair covered his eyes. "When I find him," Akefia growled. "He's dead." Opening his eyes. "So he better have a good-!" He blinked. 'Uh?'

The demon looks at what looks like a white-haired person laying on their side on the hard ground unconscious. And what looks like food sprawled around them.

Akefia sat there for a moment in thought. Eyes widening, he jumped up and rushed over to the figure. Kneeling down once he reached it. "Baku-" he shouted as he rolled the body onto their back "...ra?" Blinking twice in confusion then raising a eyebrow he states, "You're not Baku." 'Though he sure looks like him, well that is if he was child-like.'

'...It... is a he, right?' The demon pondered, looking at the boy's chest. 'Well that or a really flat girl,' he snickered.

'Umm...? ..I smell...' he thought as he sniffed the air. 'Angels and blood.' He frowned as he looked down at the boy. He had a pretty bad looking head wound and a few cuts on his arms and legs. 'Well, there's the blood, but... where's the angel?' Looking around and finding no one in site. he looked down at the white haired boy at his feet. 'Well... I can't very well leave him here like this. He'll get eaten, or worse.'

Sighing defeatedly he reached down and picked up the boy bridal style. "Guess Baku will have to wait. So he better not go and die on me!"

Growling he jumped in the are, spreading his large black bat-like wings and heading back the way he came.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryou groaned, his back ached really bad and his head felt even worse. He squeezed his eyes closed tighter from the pain before opening his eyes. But what greeted them confused him. It look like a rock ceiling, like some sort of cave. 'Where am I? This isn't my house... nor is this the hospital.' He should know, finding himself there at least once a week.

"Hey. You awake?" Called a voice to his right.

Looking to his right for the source of the voice. He voice belonged to a tanned man with white hair, similar to his own but cut to his shoulders. He wore a red cloak with black jean and no shirt. He had lilac eyes and under his right one he had a double t-scar. But what made Ryou's eyes widen were the large black webbed bat-like wings folded against back and the large horn sticking up right above his pointed ears.

'A demon!' Was all that went though his brain as he shot up and backed up into the corner he was laying by.

"Wait! You shouldn't...move..." The demon trailed off as he looked at the boy was staring wide eyed at him as he tried to curl up as much as possible, shaking uncontrollably.

'He seems... tilting his head ... scared...' "Hey, it's alright," moving over closer to the boy, slowly reaching out his hand like one would a scared animal. "I'm not going to hurt you. Okay?"

The white haired boy gave him a suspicious look, but relaxed, just a bit. "W-who are you? A-and w-where am I?"

The demon leaned back on his heels and answered, "My name's Akefia, Akefia Touzoku. This is my house." Ushering around the room. "Well, not really a house... more like a home." Giving a small smile.

Ryou blinked twice in confusion. "Your... home..?" Tilting his head. 'But, demons live in...' Eyes widening in relation, breath hitching. 'No...no... NO! I'm not... they wouldn't... I can't...!'  Rapidly thought Ryou, getting hysterical, grabbing his head and curling up defensively. While gasping for breath.

Akefia gasp in surprise from the reaction. "Hey, Kid, calm down." Moving in front of Ryou to better calm him, he reaches out and touches Ryou's arm. Who flinches away, head shooting up in fear.

Reaching out again Akefia gently lays his hand on the shaken teen's arm. "Calm down," he said in a firm, but gentle voice. Staring into large doe brown eyes.

Ryou just stared back into those, somewhat reassuring, lilac eyes. Calming down, come out of his adrenaline high. "Ow!" Grabbing his head and squeezing his eyes shut, finding the pain coming back again.

The white hair demon sighed sadly, pulling back his hand and running it though his hair. "I tried to tell you not to move yet." Ryou looked at him with apologetic and confused eyes. "Lie back down." He stood up and went back to were he was seated previously.

Ryou watched Akefia's every movement,seeing him sit he looked down at his... 'bed', which was just a few blankets, a cover, and a pillow. Beggars can't be choosers I guess. Crawling back over to his bed he lies down. Soon realizing there is no way he can fall asleep with a demon watching him, he settled on staring at the celling.

"Hey! I'm back!" Shouted a voice from the opening of the cave.

Akefia turned to the opening and narrowed his eyes. 'Well, crap. He'll scare the kid far worse them me.' He thought, getting up to greet the other.

Ryou looked up as the source of the voice walked into the room. The mans appearance confused him, unsure if he really was a demon. This man had pale skin like his as well as white hair, his a little longer then his own. He wore a black v-neck top and black pants with a black trench coat over it. He had black feather wings, a tail, and long horns that curved down to his shoulder...

"Baku..." Akefia trailed off trying to move in front of Ryou unnoticed, but failed. For Bakura narrowed his eyes in suspicion and looked around he to find Ryou laying in the blankets.

Ryou locked eyes with the strange demon, red meeting brown. Then the demon sneered causing Ryou to cringe away and hind under the covers.

"Akefia," Bakura said in a calm voice, looking back to him. "Why is there some kid in our house?"

"Umm...well...you see," Giving sheepish grin. "I kind of... found him unconscious outside... I couldn't really leave him out there..." Continued the tan demon while the pale one walked over to the cowering boy.

When he reached him he grabbed the covers to yank them away. "Baku, wait! Don't you'll..." tried Akefia before he totally yanked them away and though them across the room.

The boy gasped, eyes widening at how vulnerable he was right now. Trying to curl up as much as possible like it would help to hide him more.

"Quite hiding and sit up!" Bakura growled. Hesitantly and slowly Ryou obeyed, keeping his head down. Narrowing his eyes the pale demon squat down in front of him, lifting his chin to get him to look him in the face. But he just averted his eyes to the right of him, never meeting Bakura eyes.

"Look at me!" He snapped. Ryou, winching at his tone, finally looked him in the eyes. But those eyes seem to stare straight though him, it took all him might not to look away in fright. "What's your name?"

"R-Ryou..."

"What kind of demon name is that?"

"Baku, does that really matter?"

"Maybe it does...," Bakura replied looking at him over his shoulder before turning his attention back to Ryou. Letting his chin go, he lowered his gaze.

Akefia shaked his head while rolling his eyes at him. Walking over to the two and kneeling down beside the other demon. Ryou started to move a bit uncomfortably, feeling trapped.

Bakura, noticing this, reached out his hand towards the boy. Who unconsciously flinched and closing his eyes, know from experience he was about to be hurt, and waited for the blow. But it never came, instead came a calming, comforting feeling. Slowly opening his eyes he found Bakura rubbing his left horn. Looking up he gave Bakura a confused look, not understanding why he was comforting him, (and wonder why it felt so nice).

Sighing exhaustively Akefia sat down completely on the floor. "See Ryou. We're not going to hurt you."

Ryou still a bit doubtful looked at Bakura, then to Akefia, then the floor. 'Maybe not yet... but once you find me out...' He thought biting his lip.

The pale demon looked away at that and mumbled under his breath, "Not unless you do something stupid..." Which earned him an elbow in the arm and a look from the tan demon. Which in turn earned him a glare.

"Baku, you gonna let his horn go or are you just going to hold it all night?" Akefia asked sarcastically while smirking and chuckling. He blinked looking back at Ryou realizing he was indeed still holding his horn. Frowning he let it go and stood up, walking into the kitchen.

Ryou, having been finally let go of, scotched back a little, moving uncomfortably with the other demon still in front of him. He winched. having moving his head a little to much, reached up and felt poorly wrapped bandages  around his head.

"Yeah, sorry they're not very good," apologized Akefia giving a sheepish smile. "But they get the job done."

He just stared, all was silent for a while then asked quietly, "Um... What... happen.. to me?" Looking up hopefully.

He shrugged. "Not sure." Standing up and stretching. "I just found you unconscious on the ground outside. Thought you were Baku." Pointing his thumb towards Kitchen to emphasize his point.

"Oh." Looking down disappointedly.

Akefia, not noticing the disappointment or not caring, turned to the kitchen. "Well... better get in there before Baku catches something on fire."

"One time!" Shouted Bakura from the kitchen, having heard him. Akefia just chuckled, walking to the kitchen.

Ryou watched him go until he disappeared into the kitchen. Sighing he looked down at his hands, noticing they were a little scratched up, probably from landing on the hard ground.

'What did happen... I... remember Jou... and a hole...' his eyes lite up. 'The hole! It must of been one of those Holes that connect the Realms-things. So...' Looking around room. 'I must of fallen all the way to Second Hell?' Looking over to the Kitchen. Biting his lip. 'And they think I'm a demon... Then, I'll just have to act like one.' Silence... 'What do they act like!'  He wondered grabbing at his hair. Having lived with Angels all his life, he hadn't the slightest clue. Causing him to go into a small panic attack.

"Ryou? You alright?" Akefia asked, having peaked his head out of the kitchen when he thought he heard a cry.

Ryou jumped at the sudden voice he spun around and gave him a fake smile. "Uh... y-yeah. fine," he said laughing nervously.

The demon raised an eyebrow at this and shaked his head, but said nothing. Going back into the kitchen where smells of cooking food were coming from.

Ryou gave a sigh of relief. 'Just... stay quite, Ryou. When in doubt, stay quite.'  He thought as he just sat there, against the wall, waiting for the demons to finishes cooking there meal.
Edit: This story finally has a name! 'Torn Wings'! AND I have it up on Fanfiction now too! [link]
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah! Got ch 1 done! Don't expect ch 2 anytime soon.

Bakura is the meaner one out of the two. He's younger so, yeah. Oh and demon's horns are very sensitive, as well as their wing.
Akefia will almost never call Bakura this full name, unless it's serious.

>.> Yeah, It still don't have a name. I'm think of stealing the name of my other story(which is not really a story, just thoughts and pic.) with this story is heavily based on. Basically just changed the characters and a little of their background to fit.
It's called 'Incomplete Paradise'. So tell me what ya think about that.

Okay, so that up... I'll summit this to groups later. I gots to go to class now! Bye!
