audi started to wonder why Akuma was such a bastard sometimes, especially concerning Tenba and his relationship with Yuuki. So, she looked into it and asked about him and this is what she came up with, It’s a two parter

Oh, yes. For those that haven’t read By The Gods’ Will, It’s a fairly simple concept: Akuma is the Guardian of the Hells (a God) and each God has their own Symbol and the Symbol for the Father of the Gods (Ryuujin) and also all the Gods is the Gods’ Circle.

Warning: YAOI (MalexMale/bisexual pairing). It’s fairly subtle, There’s hints from Dadakko, but nothing serious. But it’s there. Just don't get mad at me for not warning you.

Hells’ Fires.

Part One, Dadakko.

Life, when you get down to it, is really the worse punishment anyone can endure, ne? One is born, lives through all sorts of colourful crap and then, if they’re lucky, they get to die. If they don't... You’ve really got to feel sorry for those that don't die… those that live on for gods-know-how-long.

       Doubt anyone’s been though as much crap as I have. Dadakko sighed as he continued to sit. No one would find him where he was. Did anyone really care though? Being the youngest son of the Arai children, Dadakko was always in the way. Dadakko. His parents couldn’t even give him a proper name when it had come time for him to be named. Dadakko. Unmanageable child. He didn’t think of it as his own name though, he didn’t know what he thought of as his own name – but it wasn’t ‘Dadakko’.

       He let his thoughts drift past the time he saw the light fade and then disappear from the tiny cracks of his hiding place. If he let his mind focus, it always managed to chose the most un-pleasurable experiences of his short life. Funny how one could have such a terrible life in only sixteen years, ne? He used to keep a list of which was the current worst point… Until things kept getting worse and worse… How did he continue to live? No one should have to live the way he did. The key word there was ‘should’.

       He wanted to be alone, so he could sit and cry alone. 

       His hiding place wasn’t empty. There were… things buzzing all around it. Waiting. Watching. Perhaps it was a punishment? It had never been that bad before. Besides, his deeds weren’t that bad, were they? Alone. Why couldn’t everyone leave him alone, just for a little while so he could gather his thoughts? Everything was happening so bloody fast! One minute he was there with Gouka and then…

       He didn’t want to be alone, he wanted to be with Gouka again.

       He wanted Gouka to hold him and kiss him and tell him it was okay. Mei was the only creature that he had ever known that loved him. The only one… Not his parents or his brothers… Some random red-head. Not random, Gouka. He had saved him when he needed it most. Disaster after disaster. Beating after beating. Wasn’t the youngest child supposed to be loved? What the hells was up with his screwed up excuse for a family?! He needed what Gouka gave him. He didn’t know that there was something wrong with it. He didn’t know They’d get angry. All he knew was that he loved Gouka and that he wanted to stay with Gouka. Gouka made him feel secure. No matter what beatings he took from his family – or otherwise – Gouka was always there to make him feel better.

       Bloody hells!!

       He wanted to curl up and get a nice cry in. He told himself he shouldn’t cry, but he didn’t care. If only he could find somewhere that wasn’t hindered by Them. Right. As if a place existed. They watched everywhere. And they probably shunned his pendant. It wasn’t a so-called Gods’ Circle but a flame. A single flame bursting out, it had been a gift from Gouka. A gift to remember him by. He wasn’t a pyro, but… Fire and Gouka…

       He had known that Gouka wasn’t just Gouka for some time. The eerie way that he came and went probably had something to do with it. And then there was the fact that Gouka was so perfect. Flawless. Mmm. No matter how hard he tried to look scrawny and rough but it didn’t work. Gods were perfect.

       Until you came along and worked to corrupt the perfection. What ever he’s suffering now, it’s all you’re fault. You know that right? You deserve whatever is in store. You know you do. Submit. Don't deny your true fate. You are always going to be alone and unloved. Face it! The Gods Themselves hate you.

       All but Akuma… Demonic Akuma.

       Demonic Akuma loves you… He said he did and look and see what you’ve done to him! How dare you? And you call yourself a man?
