Prologue

It was a snowy day, just like any other in this time of the year. Small snowflakes fell down from the sky, slowly covering the grey and dirty streets of Tokyo with a pure white blanket. Many cars passed the busy streets, forming a huge traffic jam in the city. A day like any other.

Even though today is January 31st, the Christmas spirit still didn't leave people's hearts. Many flocked around the shopping malls and boutiques trying to get the last of the special christmas discounts.

It may not be a special day, well apart from the fact that it is the last day of January. The day was one of not much importance to most people, but certainly the day meant more than the world to a lovely couple who were awaiting the birth of their child in the hospital.

The mother was laying down in a hospital bed in one of the rooms, while her husband sat right next to her for support. Both lay their hands on the mother's stomach which was large. A belly of a woman who is minutes from giving birth. Both smiled knowing that after today, their lives will change forever with the arrival of their child.

'Are you excited?', asked the mother, tilting her head slightly to look at her husband whose eyes were only on his wife's belly.

'Do you have to ask? Im shaking with excitement.' his eyes met hers for a slight moment before returning to the huge belly.

'Any last thoughts for the name?' the mother asked with a soft caring voice of a mother.

'How about… Tetsuya! What do you think?' the man gave a wide smile to his wife, happy with the name he thought of.

'Tetsuya… that's lovely. I like it.' the mother nodded, giving her approval to her husband.

'Tetsuya it is then! I can't wait to meet him.' the man said when he suddenly felt something moving inside his wife's belly.

'Whoa!' the future dad was taken by surprise.

'He's kicking.' the mother smiled as if she couldn't smile any wider than she already is. Both had one of their hands on the large belly, while their other hands intertwined together in a loving manner.

'It is time, Mrs. Kuroko.' the nurse called out from the door with two doctors behind her. The mother shook her head while the nurse and the doctors came to prepare her bed for transport to the operating room.

'Good luck.' said her husband before she was finally taken away to the operating room.

'Reo… I had the impression your taste in souls was far better than this. This is inedible.', a man with fierce crimson red hair, curved black horns and bright heterochromatic eyes (one red and the other golden) said as he sat down in front of a very large dining table. The table could seat at least 50 people, yet the said man was eating in the room alone, with only a man with short black hair standing next to him, holding a tray in his hands.

'Im very sorry Akashi-sama but this is the best I could find. It was the best one in the market. I deeply apologise for my incompetence.', the butler named Reo Mibuchi bowed down to his master.

Akashi sat in a highly luxurious red chair in front of the large table with a fork and a knife in his hands. The fork had something light blue attached to it. The small object was round and transparent, almost giving off an impression of a small ghost. However, this wasn't a ghost but a soul of a human. Judging by the quality of the soul, the human must have been a middle aged woman in her twenties.

The woman must have committed many crimes and sins while she was alive, thus explaining the foul taste of her soul. Akashi sighted after taking a small bite from the female soul, he couldn't bare eating any more of it. He placed his fork down with the remains of the soul on the empty plate and stood up turning to walk towards the balcony behind him.

'Will I ever find a soul suitable to my tastes?' Akashi leaned his arms on the railing of the balcony, his eyes looking off far in the distance.

'I will try to find that very soul master.' Reo said from behind, trying to please his master. Akashi only sighted to his comment and kept on looking into the distance. The demon world was surely a sight to behold.

The land had no leaves or grass, or anything of the like. There are only bare mountains which are decorated with nothing more than rocks and boulders. The sky is dark red with slight fog higher up in the sky. Truly a sight to behold, thought the red vampire.

The demon world may not be as full of life as the human world but it still held wonders of it's own. As it is now, Akashi is happy with his kingdom. He has everything, everything he needs he just asks for and it is given to him… apart from a lovely and delicious soul he can feed upon. When will he find it? Will he ever find it?

Akashi turned sharply back indoors and proceeded down the corridors of his palace when he finally arrived in front of the throne room. After opening the large doors, Akashi sat down on his throne and uninterestingly looked down on his subject, the black haired demon who followed him.

'Get out of my sight Reo, I need to recover from the disgusting soul I have just eaten.' and with that Reo closed the large golden chamber doors and left Akashi alone.

Akashi sat on his throne. A throne befitting a demon king indeed. It was large, located at the opposite side of the large chamber doors. The large room also held a large window and other decorations of high class. Luxury itself.

Akashi closed his eyes, another failure. Suddenly out of nowhere, Akashi felt a sharp pain in his chest. Akashi's hands immediately grabbed his white shirt from the intense pain. He bend his back to the front as his eyes widened.

'W-What is this… this…' Akashi breathed heavily with every moment, his hands clenching his shirt with more and more force. Akashi's heterochromatic eyes shone bright, when finally the pain slowly started fading away.

Akashi leaned back on his throne, finally free from the intense pain in his chest. The demon breathed heavily but despite of what just happened, Akashi managed a chuckle and a wide grin.

'What is this? This… lovely soul I feel…' Akashi smiled as he stood out of his throne, headed for the portal to the human world.

'He's out!' called out the nurse as loud screams of a baby is heard in the room and outside of it. The now proud mother smiled, her smile reflected her exhaustion but also great happiness she felt at the moment. The father as well was present, watching from the sidelines though a window into the operation room.

Suddenly out of nowhere, from the centre of the room, small winds formed which later on became more fierce. The mother's bed was moved to the wall by the wind, as well as the hospital staff which was by now pushed to the floor near the wall by the fierce wind.

Small electricity currents formed as well, accompanied by the wind as a symbol appeared on the floor. The symbol glowed bright red when finally a figure emerged from the mysterious object.

'W-What's happening?' one of the nurses screamed out, which made the red demon smirk.

'Excuse me for the intrusion. I am here for the child. Give him to me.' Akash held out his hand to the nurse who was holding the newborn baby. 'N-No!', she screamed out, fear clearly present in her voice.

Akashi proceeded to the baby, ignoring the nurse's response. Suddenly, a teal haired woman appeared in front of Akashi, her hands widely spread, trying to stop the demon from advancing to her child.

'Who are you!' the teal haired mother asked the red haired demon who only smirked back. The mother was using the last of her strength as she just gave birth.

'I am the demon king and I have come for the soul of that child. I suggest you hand him over before anyone is hurt.' Akashi extended his arm, waiting for the humans to respond to his threads. Who would define a demon?

'No! That's my child! Go away! There is no way I would give him up to a monster like you!' the teal haired woman gave out her answer, an answer Akashi anticipated, yet did not like.

'I have warned you.' Akashi disappeared, surprising both the mother and the hospital staff behind her. Akashi soon appeared beside the nurse who was holding the baby as he knocked the nurse unconscious and took the baby from her.

'G-Give him back!' the mother screamed with despair. Her baby who was just born has been taken by a monster who has appeared out of nowhere. She ran as fast as she could to her baby but was blocked by the strong winds in the room.

'Such a lovely soul.' Akashi brought his face closer to the baby and inhaled it's scent. Finally he has found what he has been looking for for decades. The purest soul there is. Akashi put his hand on the baby as it began to glow with the color red. The baby soon began to cry.

'S-Stop!' the mother cried out, tears present on her eyes.

Akashi's eyes were only on the baby as the glow on his hand slowly disappeared. He gave out a wide smirk, content now that he has put his seal on the baby. Now, the boy's soul would be his for all eternity.

'I will take my leave now. I will come back for him someday.' with that Akashi placed young Kuroko on a bed and jumped on the area where the large red seal is placed on the floor. Akashi disappeared, back to the demon world, leaving everyone behind, shocked.

'Tetsuya!' the mother called out to her child and ran towards him.

'Tetsuya!' the father came from the door, having witnessed everything that has transpired but was unable to come due to the horrified hospital staff which prevented him from entering the room.

Both parents ran towards their child. The mother took Kuroko in her arms and the father also stood beside them, glad they are both fine.

Suddenly, strong winds began to blow again as a new symbol appeared on the floor. This time the symbol glowed with different color as a new demon emerged from the demon world.

Stains of red covered the room, leaving one person standing and in his arms the newborn baby. The demon smiled as he held out his hand and branded the baby with his seal as well. The demon then left, leaving a bloody room with corpses covered with blood. The blood of the child's parents as well as the hospital staff which was present in the room.

Leaving one sole survivor… the baby itself, in a room of blood and death.

Prologue - Beginning Arc

Author's note

The idea just came to me and I thought it would be interesting to write it. Unfortunately this fanfic will have VERY SLOW updates because I will mainly be focusing on 'Blood Type S'. When that is finished I will focus on this one more. I will update both but this one will be way slower. You've been warned, so please be patient with me.
