Dragons Den Original

She blushed when he picked her Up, "Erebus you're tired....please don't push yourself..." she panicked a little.

She decided to not speak anymore after he said that and just laid there. She felt his hand gently caressing her belly and she felt more secure now....and the baby was settling down. ".....He....kicks hard when I'm upset........." she sighed, "i....haven't thought of names yet either....i wasn't sure what to call a half demon baby..." she said.

Erebus smirked as he nuzzled into her neck as he kissed it softly, "Name him whatever you want." he said as he held her close. He was content. His magic returning to him, his body slowly filling out. He looked at his hands it was looking old or skin and bone. "Were you upset a lot of when you were on you're own?" he asked softly as he closed his eyes feeling tired.

He slowly drifted off to sleep and could feel his son energy.

"........I tried to move on.....but I found I couldn't.....So i got upset almost every night." she said, "..........I Just don't know....but the baby has high senses about emotions." she said, touched her belly bump.

"......As for names.....i Don't think a Human name will work with him." she said.

Erebus snored as he fell asleep, holding her close and tightly.

~!~Next morning ~!~

Erebus woke. His magic completely back to him. He sat up as he stretched his arms. He looked and noticed Kira was still sleeping. He had a small smile as he got out and decided to bath after so long. He went to the bathing chamber as he looked at the mirror. His body was back to normal, He was still on the skinny side. He realized that now his magic was emotionally connected to Kira. The further she was away, the more his magic drained. The more his Magic drain, the more he lost control. His hair was more silver-ish as he got in the hot water. He washed all the scum off his body as he sighs. He could hear Kira moving about as he relaxed more in the bath. "Dratus..." he let the name come off his tongue as he liked it. He was a powerful name as he closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth.

Kira was still sleep when he went on to go bath, she didn't realise just how tired she was.

She woke a little bit later and yawned, "......Erebus?" she asked, and went to go look for him, she head light splashing, "....The bathroom." she went on it seeing he looked better, "....Erebus?" she spoke tiredly. "How? How did you grow so much?" she asked.

Erebus turned, "You're emotions are connected to my magic... The further you were without me, for the amount of time you were gone. My magic was weaker since it need to be with you to help support the baby." He explained. "Now that you're Back and we both slept easier My magic started to come back full force. So my body adjust itself." He explained as he sighed washing his face.

"I'm hungry..." he called to her. His appetite was back again as well looked at her and gave her a teasing smirk. His eyes shifted back to normal, but there was a difference in him. He wasn't doing it to pick a fight, He wanted to make sure he didn't fuck this one again. He could have died without her, another screw up to him and he's over as the Demon lord.

She smiled a little hearing he was hungry, "I'll make a big breakfast." she said, she was planning to do the WHOLE lot, eggs bacon, steak and sausages...she found she craved a LOT of meat when she was on her own. "Anything.....you want with it?" she asked.

She handed him a cloth for him to properly clean his face, "I'll go on and get that going." she said, "Take your time washing alright?"

She headed on out of the room and towards the kitchen, "Hey you lot come with me." she said to a couple of goblins, "Filled the basket with eggs form the storage." he told one, "Grabb LOTS of meat and You are peeling potatoes." she was going to make sure they are put to work.

Erebus took his time in the bath as he got out as he started to prune. He relaxed as he dried himself and got his clothes on. They were big on him. 'guess I really do need to eat." He started to head to the kitchen and noticed the Goblins being worked again. He was surprised as he raised a brow and noticed Kira. He walked up behind her as he held her around her waist, holding her to him looking down over her neck to see what she was making, "Food?" he asked her as he kissed her gently.

"Careful not to cut your fingers." she said to the potato goblin, "Make sure that steak doesn't burn." she said to the other goblin, "Keep cracking those eggs." she wasn't shouting, but instructing as she was dealing with other parts as well, cooking the bacon and sausages.

She shivered feeling him wrap his arms around her, "Yes food. I'm hungry as well, so I'm making sure there's enough of saite us both." she said. She got got to the egg goblin and she motioned that was enough eggs. She tossed in salt pepper, a bit of herbs and got mixing, she then poured in milk. Planning to make an omelette.

The goblins were happy to see their master much better, "Mast much better!" he said excited but did as their mistress stated. She was still scary.

Erebus rolled his eyes as he took a seat at the table and noticed she seemed happier. His magic was coming back full force again. His muscles started to fill out more as he felt his stomach grumble. He waited patiently as he noticed a another goblin getting him the paper. he nodded his thanks as he looked into it and noticed the town news.

Eventually Kira got the food all cooked up and gave a couple steaks to the goblins, "Share it between you three. No fighting." she told them.

They rushed out. She got it all before him, "Choose as much as you want." she said, getting herself a plate and him one, She got some fresh goat milk as well.

She got a steak and some omelette, along with bacon, "I've not cooked this breakfast for a long time." she said, getting right into it.

Erebus could smell the food. He took a bite of the steak as he nodded his approval. He continued to eat more As he realized he was more starving than he anticipated.

He noticed the Goblins leaving happy with the steaks, "You spoil them." he stated as he continued to eat almost everything in site. Leaving some for her to eat as well. He ate the last of his eggs as he stretched his arms. His body full and happy. He looked at her as he noticed she was more beautiful than before she left. He looked down as he hope to god they didn't fight like that again. At this point he'd rather just do as she says and not fight with her.

"Goblins respond better when they see they do good work and are shown they have." she knew that with the smaller creatures in the demon books. "I don't plan to do that ALL the time." she said, poking him in the arm, seeing eh was filling out more and more, "I'm glad to see you still like my cooking." she said eating her bacon.

She looked at him stretching, ".....Better?" she asked him.

"I'll need to look up names...." it was the one thing that bothered her the most with the baby, was the name.

Erebus looked at her, "Yeah..." He said as he took a glass of water and drank it down, "What about Dratus?" He asked her as he shrugged. He liked the name, and he liked it when it came off his tongue. He looked at her as she ate and noticed her eating more meet, 'probably to keep up with the baby.' he thought to himself as he looked up at the ceiling.

He wasn't sure what to talk to her about. He didn't want to bring up anything that would cause her to get upset or angry, so he just sat in silence as he looked at her.

"...Dratus......." she spoked it a couple times, ".....I like it." she smiled, the baby bumped lightly, "oo..You like it?" she smiled, "You better be happy with all the protein I'm giving you." she said. to the belly. ".....Sorry...I've formed the habit of talking to the baby...."s he sweated a littler bit, feeling a little dumb.

She looked at Erebus, ".....What's wrong?" she asked him, noticing he was being rather quiet.

Erebus shrugged his shoulders, "Thinking before I speak... Don't want to say something to upset you." he stated as he noticed that her habits to him were cute. He smiled at her as he stood up. "I'll clean..." he stated as he father the dishes as he started to clean. There was still a he wanted to ask her, like where she's been, what did she do.. she she find a human to live with, what happened to her brother.

But he kept it to himself as it wasn't needed. He was just happy to have her back in his presence. He started on the dishes as he knew there was stuff he needed to fix in the castle. He wasn't sure what he messed up, but the bedroom was one, He knew about what he did to her dungeon and decided to fix that too. He just started to make a list in his head

".......If you have questions I'll answer them." she said. "I've nothing to hide."

"You don't have to, I was happy to do them." she about to got up but he already got to them. She knew why he wasn't asking....he was afraid. "....Erebus....Please talk to me.....It makes me feel weird when you are all quiet....." she said walking to his side.

Erebus laughed through his teeth as he continued to do the dishes, "The last time we tried to talk, you and I both acted like children and I didn't see you for 4 months..." He stated, but kept his temper in check.

He finished the dishes as he took a seat, "have you seen you're brother since than?" He asked her.

"I'm here to listen right now Erebus...Please..." she said.

"............no....not since that day....." she said sadly, she was still angry at her brother but was also worried about him. "I...honestly haven't wanted to see him for a little while, I'm...still annoyed with him...He's....attitude to thunking has changed...and I don't know why...." it was something that had been bothering her a lot lately.

Erebus sighs as he looked at her, "Do you want to leave it as that... He's not so much you're little brother now. He's probably has a lot going on in his mind." he stated.

"Personally I still hate the little twerp, but I dealt with a lot of shit while he was here. I gave him a job, a place to sleep." He said but cut himself off making sure to use his words carefully.

He looked at her, "Maybe it's time to to ask him... just the two of you." He suggested.

"I know he's grown now....but he's......so different now....its odd." she sighed.

"I understand that now Erebus and I'm sorry......I...was scared to lose him...." she said looking to the floor.

"I don't know where's he's gone............he travels like I do...And we tend to not talk about our locations to each other about missions in case of vendetta of demon coming for one or the other." she said.

Erebus looked at her and seeing the fear in her eyes, "I think it was the same for him too." He told her.

Erebus could always tell when someone had fear in them. The moment her brother came rushing into his palace for her. He was scared to lose his sister. He looked at her as he stood up and walked over to her and took her face and looked into her blue eyes. He wanted to kiss her, but didn't want to freak her out yet and just held her face in his hands.

He sighs as there was still fear in his own eyes as he slowly let go of her, "isn't there a way you can mail him? He seems to have no Problem finding you when you call him." he said as he just took a seat back down just next to her rather than across.

She smiled a little and touched his hands, "......Maybe....." she said.

".....No. he was back home on a break after he had a mission....he's always been a quick killer....which is why I thought it odd he didn't kill that demon......Now I don't know where he is...." she sighed.

"He couldn't have gone anywhere from the Southern region." she said. ".....Being a hunter is a double edged sword....we can work together....but we can NEVER truly share anything together...even as family, all missions are private and we don't talk about anything in case it distracts us.....I've broken ALL the rules now......"

Erebus smirked, "Maybe he fell for a demon himself." He said.

He looked at her as he noticed this must her, "Well you have a choice after the baby is born. You can go back to that life style, or make a new one here." He said looking at her, "In my opinion I like the relaxed you a lot more than you're hunter side. Though maybe it's time to retire... you've been at it for a long time now. Was it something you really wanted to do?" He asked as he leaned his face into his hand as he looked at her.

Erebus looked at her, "Did you think a lot while you were away?" He asked. He was curious as to what she was thinking.

"I was be shocked and on the floor dead if he had....he always told me he would never fall for their tricks or for their 'beauty'." she said, ".....HIS words not mine." she added on the end.

"I want our child to be around us BOTH. I was on my own in my uncle's old hunting cottage back in my home region, I didn't want my child being hurt or made an outcast by everyone else." she said, "I'm willing to give us a try again....I've had enough time to think..."

She looked at him, "My mother was a hunter.....my father was a hunter......I was all for being one too. But Ever since I lost Samson......Soemthing changed.....But I always pushed it to the back of my head....THe thought of being just a housewife or famed would have been fine to me.....Dimitri was ALWAYS a better hunter than i was......" she sighed, "........BUt my father was afraid of losing me to the monsters of the night.....which would have happened if he hadn't trained me..." she leaned against the wall looking at him. She never told the whole story to anyone...the only one who knew was her brother.
