On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 54: Aiden Found Him

The dark clouds surrounded the streets with lightening and thunder. Volca looked at Huo who looked very relaxing wiping his soul sword and unaware of how his return is being declared by the nature, by the sword that began to respond to it's owner, the moment he stepped out of the underground.

The knock on the door grew louder and it made both Volca and Huo stay alert. Volca prepared while Huo just stood there looking confused for why Volca was over reacting.

Huo'er yielded his sword and forgot to cover his face in middle. Volca took out her spear and stood guarding Huo, neither did she notice that he hasn't masked his face with the black cloth.

She opened the door as if it was nothing but the man who stood outside the door kicked it wide open and stood shocked in their front. Volca could see his veins popping on his hands a she held his ice sword. She blocked his view standing in front of Huo quickly and it made Huo understand how he has forgotten to hide his identity.

"Aiden, what are you doing here?" Volca asked him while Huo stood there not moving an inch away from Volca. Aiden asked the gaurds to stand outside and guard the place without rising any suspicion.

Aiden entered their room and shut the door behind him. The antique crafts and oriental wall paintings looked good but dull with layers of dust filled on their top. He was controlling his temper well as he could. Trying his best to adapt to the situation and get to know what was happening to Huo, and take him back home.

"Huo," he called him. But Volca meddled in his conversation.

"Why are you here Grand Prince?" she interrupted him.

"Did you think us from the Water Realm will never be able to find him?" he questioned her back.

"I," To that Volca had nothing to answer back. "Why don't you leave? I know you are here to stir troubles for all," she changed the subject.

"Yeah, I will leave but only with him," he said looking at Huo as he snapped at Volca.

"Why would I come with you? Volca who is," Huo got interrupted this time.

"Why would you come with me? Really? You dare to ask me that? Are you siding with this murderous bitch?" he asked Huo gritting his teeth and clenching his fist.

"Watch you words Mister," Huo felt distorted with the behaviour and warned Aiden. Aiden could not believe what was happening in front of him, seeing Huo'er with a twisted opinion.

"Does it mean nothing to you? Her sacrifice? Nothing?" Aiden asked Huo with so much of disappointment and regret, with his eyes filling with tears, in anger and hurt to think his love gave away her life for a good for nothing Devil. Huo wondered about whose sacrifice Aiden was talking about. The purple sky slowly faded and returned back to normal outside.

"Volca what is he talking about?" he asked Volca turning towards her, trying to understand the situation and wondering who Aiden is to speak such freely to him. "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, don't bother, I will deal with him," Volca assured Huo.

Aiden laughed out loud. He couldn't just no longer take it. He drew his sword out and hit them towards Volca. The fight got intense and Aiden was losing the upper hand slowly. She appeared to be very skilful with the training she has gotten from master Bo Hai. Aiden used his slow motion power and stopped all handicrafts from breaking and being destroyed in the middle of the fight keeping them on air and putting them back to its place in between the duel.

"You sure are really strong," he said and counter attacked her. But Huo involved himself into the fight to protect the Queen Regent and both of them started attacking Aiden who did not wish to alert the guards and draw attention from the public.

"Leave her, Huo said as he fought with his little kung fu and Aiden didn't want to attack him at all thinking of Aqua, for the sake of her, her final wish, asking Huo to live. He kept avoiding Huo'er's moves and then stopped fighting altogether. Aiden did not feel any worthiness or meaning in the fight when Huo clearly took the villainess' side easily. Aiden could not say it they were close or just friends who are strong and protecting each other. He covered his sword and took a seat near the window.

"When did he wake up?" he asked Volca for the last time.

"Months back, " she replied. Huo took a seat opposite Aiden and observed him carefully. To Huo, Aiden didn't look like a threat at all. But an angry young man with emotional issues.

"Why didn't you use the same guts to come beg us and save him but instead decided to experiment with her Crystals on him on your own?" She did not care to answer her enemy at all. Aiden did not understand why she and her mother were kept being alive at such a period of time. "Feel lucky to find your neck still on the right place," he mocked her and got up. "You don't come with me now and whatever relationship we have inbetween us will be over too," But Huo did not move an inch from the place which left Aiden dumbfounded. Little did he know about Huo being oblivious about his past.

Aiden left the room in disappointment giving Huo a grim disgusted look and rushed back to the Water Realm and requested to meet the king to inform what he has witnessed during his travel period. He was angry and was not sure about how to let his family know about Huo'er's change.

Huo looked perplexed with everything that happened. His mind full of confusions. He expected an explanation from Volca but she looked too cool for everything that happened and let go of the matter. The look on Aiden's face kept flashing in Huo'er's eyes. Like he betrayed or cheated Aiden with something, and the pain too clear to forget on his face. It kept haunting Huo. He stood close to the window again, looking outside at the bustling street coming back to life after the short period of rain.

He felt something and it was Volca, giving him a back hug. This was the first time she did it. He did not know what to do and did not take any action either. Standing still and letting her do whatever while her hands were locked around his hips. He was shocked to think why he could not reject her though he have never had such desires before. He turned back and looked at her. He couldn't help but smile at her.

"Sorry," she apologized to him.

"It's ok you don't have to," he said to her. He looked at her closely for the first time as their eyes locked. He could sense the deep emotions inside her. She stood there smiling at him. Her grey wild eyes glistening with love.

Then out of the blue, Volca reached up for his face, moving her hands around his neck and gave a peck on his cheek and turned away not waiting for his response. Her heart skipped a beat though felt embarrassed unable to keep her desires a secret. Huo did nothing back and let go of her he hand. She was trying her best to stir his emotions. Huo felt a sharp pain in his heart for a second and it disappeared. He couldn't tell what it was.

After an hour of complete silence. Volca spoke to Huo. "Let's go," she said. It was already evening. She kept some gold coins on top of the table for the pay at hotel, then took her things and apparated out with Huo.

Huo looked around the place they reached. Standing on top of a mountain, with endless sand dunes around them. The great magical dessert that belongs to the Demon Realm. The sun was about to set making the sky turn orange and pink.

"I don't wish to keep you away from the reality anymore,' Volca said to him. It was what Huo was expecting her to do. He felt relieved to hear the words coming out from her mouth saving him from all the disappointments he building up inside him step by step. He let go of all the thoughts and watched her as she stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the sky.

"Am so sorry for everything that happened to you, to us," She said. Huo walked towards her, waiting for her to open up. He got curious as every second passed. The sky from pink turned dark, with the stars appearing slowly. Volca looked for her the water bearer and did not find it. She felt relieved and then pointed at the cancer, showing Huo his sign. "That's you," she said pointing at sky. "It has been dead the past years, and slowly coming back to life,"

"Why would I have a star if am a demon?" he asked her a question she least expected. She didn't know he has found the difference.

"The books told you I see," she said and smiled. Wrapping her arms around her, shivering in the cold winds. Huo instantly took his cloak off his shoulder and put it around hers. It made her happy to have been cared by her love. "Listen carefully, I plan on saying these only once, it's difficult for me, but I can no longer hide it from you," she said and looked at him, who was gazing at her already and made a move towards her. "I," she began.
