My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 13: I really do love you... I can’t help it

Some time passed after the demonstration of love Katharina made...

She couldn't quite accept how Vergil treated her, especially after he said...

'She is incredibly quiet...'

She really wasn't doing anything for a few seconds, just looking at her phone, which had a heart-shaped case and various mismatched decorations like tiny cute skulls and even a keychain of that white doll that always says hello!

"Hey, what's wrong?" Vergil asked, wanting to understand why she was like this; it seemed like she was reading something... shocking?

"Oh, hi..." She mumbled, hiding the phone.

Just that gesture... was enough to notice...

"What happened?" Well, he somehow still felt her emotions, and since they were close, he picked up some small feelings of concern and... anger...

"What happened? Nothing happened, nothing at all, nothing ever happened. Why would I be worried? Nothing happened! Definitely nothing happened!" She quickly replied, a bit desperately, almost stumbling over her words.

"I didn't even say you were worried, Katharina..." He said seriously, looking at her. "Don't make me use force." He said with a smile, though it seemed a bit dangerous...

Yes, Vergil was still lying on the bed recovering, and well... "L-L-let's just say if something happened to Ada, or to..."

"I would leave here immediately to go after them. Even if I am nothing and nobody, I am still a man and wouldn't leave my supposed wives alone or in danger." He answered her honestly, "And that's why I'm going to leave you here for a bit and go do some things, okay?" She smiled, trying to seem confident, but Vergil wasn't born yesterday...

Well, he was born! But that's not the point, okay?!

"Speak." He ordered, and immediately the mark that looked like a demonic tattoo in the shape of a collar appeared on Katharina's neck...

"H-hey love, this isn't the time to play with this; we can have fun later, now I really need to..." "If something happened, just say it," He interrupted and ignored her.

Katharina stared at him for a few seconds, feeling her whole body tremble under that gaze...

'He's really like me! How did I miss this?! I've been watching him since I was 12!' She shivered at the thought that he could be so dense!

"It's... the Inquisition..." She admitted with a tired sigh.

Vergil looked at her for a few seconds before asking, "Exorcists, again?"

Of course, it was obvious.

"Yes... but it seems it's not a common exorcist... like that strange guy who thought too highly of himself."

Vergil looked at her unreactively, 'What do you mean? That man was normal? Normal?'

"Hey, don't look at me like that, okay? Our power levels are very different, you know? Actually, it's quite an achievement since you don't even have a Demonic Technique," Katharina said, trying not to make Vergil feel weaker than he already was...

She realized she had scared him by referring to the exorcist as 'Normal.' So she continued explaining what was really going on.

"The Inquisition is an organization created by the Holy Church, the Vatican. They produce men who fight for the faith of Christ to purge evil and hauntings from the world," she said, sounding extremely ironic... well, she had her reasons.

"So... faithful believers who think too highly of themselves, using their lord's word as an excuse to exterminate people who sometimes aren't even involved with the supernatural?"

Vergil gave such a precise answer that Katharina almost choked on his sincerity, honesty, and especially how accurate his statement was...

Cough!

"W-Well, yes," she stammered while coughing, drawing attention to herself, losing some composure.

"They are demon hunters, but they don't use katanas with extravagant movements that are clearly inefficient and just a show for those watching the recording," Katharina said, and Vergil immediately realized...

'He really is the love of my life... Even what I hate, he hates too...'

Katharina shivered at seeing Vergil's eyes almost covered by an obsessive black cloak; he looked like he was going to possess her in a mere second...

And she was embarrassed, for sure. How could she not be embarrassed with her husband loving her even more?

"D-Darling, d-don't look at me like that," she stammered, no longer seeming like the indomitable woman he had met recently.

"Hm?" He didn't even notice, but well... some of his emotions were leaking while he did this...

"Darling, the real issue is..." She murmured, trying to find the right words... "Roxanne is still missing..." she murmured.

"That's the name of the third one?" He asked, curious.

"S-Si..." she murmured, "I see, I've found her," Vergil said, and immediately... "W-what?" Katharina stammered.

"Oh, yes, I have a clear idea of where all of them are... Except for us two, I don't know exactly where we are. I mean, I know and I don't know at the same time, it's complicated," Vergil said, scratching his head...

Katharina thought for a moment until she finally understood...

"Damn it... I mixed up the runes," she murmured, only now realizing her mistake... "THAT'S WHY YOU ARE LIKE THIS! THAT'S WHY YOU CARE ABOUT THOSE TWO BITCHES!" She screamed, panicking while putting her hands on her head and almost pulling at it.

"Oh crap! I'm an idiot! They were affected too!" She yelled, "It was supposed to be only me for you! That's why you reacted this way! Damn demonic trait! Shitty rune! Shitty rune!" She started screaming and freaking out while hitting the bed because she had nowhere else to hit, and if she hit him... Well, he would definitely die...

She was still a High-Class Super Demon... And he was a piece of paper with demonic energy... If we compare it like this... One breath and he would die.

"Ahh!!! Damn it!!! It's my fault!!" Katharina was freaking out, she really couldn't understand how she made such a simple mistake...

"Damn it! It was the Blood! Damn Pact! It confused things!" She continued yelling at herself while Vergil almost laughed at how clumsy she was with things.

'At least she was really committed...' He thought, it was comforting to know he had been revived by someone who cared about him, but seeing the effort was truly pleasurable.

"Breathe, Katy," he said, using a cute nickname. It made her immediately stop and look at him with a gaze that almost melted; he certainly saw hearts in her eyes...

Katharina stopped suddenly, as if the entire world had slowed down for a moment.

Her eyes, which were once filled with despair and confusion, now sparkled with a mix of affection and surprise.

She couldn't believe he had called her "Katy."

The affectionate nickname pierced deeply into her heart, melting all the anger and frustration she felt.

"K-Katy?" She repeated, almost as a whisper, her eyes locked on his, and any trace of chaos that existed before vanished completely. "You... why did you call me that..."

"Because you're mine, of course?" Vergil smiled, a small but genuine smile.

He was exhausted, his body still recovering, but even so, he reached out and touched her face tenderly. "Katy. Breathe, okay? Everything will be fine."

Katharina, who was on the brink of a mental breakdown, felt a wave of calm wash over her body.

For a Yandere... receiving something like this from the object of her obsession... is like winning the lottery... maybe even more than that.

His touch, his soft voice, the way he looked at her, all of it brought her back from the edge. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the whirlwind of emotions inside her.

"I... I just wanted it to be perfect," she murmured, her eyes starting to fill with tears. "I wanted you to be only mine... for everything to be under control... but I messed it all up..."

'So she can be this cute... more and more perfect...'

Vergil shook his head gently, his thumb caressing her cheek. "You didn't mess up anything. I'm here, and I'm fine. You care, and that's what matters to me."

She looked at him, trying to process what he was saying. Guilt still consumed her, but Vergil's presence, his affection and understanding, began to soften the guilt she felt.

"But the runes... the pact... it wasn't supposed to be for them..." She tried to argue, but her voice was weak, lacking the determination it once had.

Vergil chuckled softly, a sound Katharina realized she loved. "Katy, do you think I'm that weak? Okay, I am... but I'm going to get stronger, alright? And about Ada and Roxanne... they're part of this too, whether you like it or not."

Katharina lowered her head, her face still tinged with worry and sadness. "I just wanted to be the only one for you... just me..."

Vergil sighed, gently pulling her closer until she was lying next to him, her head resting on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her firmly, as if he wanted her to know that he was there, and that nothing would change that.

"Katy, you are more than enough. But the world is complicated, and so are our feelings. You'll have to accept that, just as I accept that you are only mine," he said, sounding quite selfish...

She remained silent for a moment, just listening to his heartbeat, feeling the warmth of Vergil's body beside her. Gradually, the tension in her body began to fade, replaced by a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a long time.

"You're impossible, you know? Aren't you adjusting too quickly to this wife and demon thing?" She finally murmured, a small smile beginning to form on her lips.

"And you love me for it," he replied playfully, kissing the top of her head.

Katharina closed her eyes, allowing herself to relax completely in his arms. Maybe, just maybe, she could accept this new reality.

As long as she was with him, things could work out, even if they weren't exactly how she had planned.

'Just kill them later... then he's only mine... and no one else,' she thought before responding.

"I do love you... there's no avoiding it," she admitted softly, and they stayed there together, without more words, simply enjoying the moment of calm they had finally found.
