Queen Of The Netherworld - Season 2

Twilight ran down the stairs into the main room of the library. Looking around the room, she saw no one. Letting out a sigh, she quickly ran out of the library and made her way through the town towards Sugarcube Corner. Once there, she ran inside and found Pinkamena at the counter.

"Hey, Twilight," the pink mare said with a smile. "What brings ya in?"

"Have you seen her yet?" The unicorn asked quickly.

The pink mare tilted her head. "Um... Who?" Twilight let out a groan and ran out of the building. "Ohhhhhh..." the pink mare said, finally getting it. "No!" She called after the unicorn.

Quickly making her way to Carousel Boutique, she opened the door to see Rarity standing in the center of the large showroom, circling a mannequin which was wearing a dark red dress. When Twilight opened the door, Rarity looked over at her and smiled.

"Hey, Twilight," she said as she turned to face the mare.

"Have you seen her yet?" Twilight asked, blushing lightly.

The white unicorn smiled and shook her head. "I'm sure you'll be the first one she appears to..."

Twilight let out a sigh and leaned against the door frame. "Yeah, I guess..." she said, before letting out a gasp. "Maybe Applejack's seen her!" She said, before running off.

Rarity stared at her as she left before using her magic to close the door and went back to what she was doing.

Meanwhile, Twilight ran through the town and then down the long path leading to Sweet Apple Acres. When she finally got to the entry gate, she was panting heavily. Stumbling over to the fence, she leaned against it and dropped to her knees.

"Twilight?" Asked Applejack, who was standing near a tree stump, a small log set atop it. She was holding an ax above her head, ready to cut the wood. Seeing the purple mare, she lowered the ax and wiped sweat from her forehead. "Did ya run all the way here?"

"Uh-huh..." Twilight said with a nod, before standing upright. "Have you... seen her yet?" She asked, trying to catch her breath. "Pinkie and Rarity haven't..."

The farm mare smiled and let out a brief chuckle. "Can't wait for her to come back, sugarcube?"

A blush formed on the purple mare's cheeks as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Well... She's just... fun... I guess..." Twilight muttered. "Right?" She then looked at AJ. "Everything was so much more... interesting when she was here. Now, it just feels..."

"Boring?" Applejack asked before whacking the tree stump with her ax, the tool sticking into the wood as the mare turned back to the unicorn. "Ah hear ya... The Candy Mare may have done... terrible things... but... I came to like Kyra, too."

Twilight gave her a smile and let out a sigh. "Well... I doubt she'd go to Fluttershy first, so... that leaves Rainbow Dash..."

Applejack let out another chuckle. "Come on, Twilight," she said as she wiped more sweat from her forehead. "You know as well as I do... She's gonna go to you first."

"Yeah, that's what Rarity said..." the purple mare said with a sigh, leaning against the fence. She then looked down the trail back towards Ponyville. "Well, maybe Rainbow has seen her..."

"Twilight," AJ, getting her friend's attention. "She'll go to you... first... So, just go home and wait for her if yer so anxious to see her."

The unicorn smiled and nodded. "Right... You're right..." Letting out a sigh, she turned and began heading back towards town.

Back at the library, Twilight went to go sit on the couch and wait. After staring at the door for a few minutes, she leaned her head back to rest it on the back of the couch. Now staring at the ceiling, she began to think of the demon. About her personality. About her look. And, her voice... Letting out a sigh, the unicorn closed her eyes. Before she could fall asleep, there was a knock at the door. Letting out a gasp, she sat straight up and ran for the door. Stopping with her hand on the doorknob, she took a couple deep breaths before opening the door.

There, stood the red demon wearing black shorts and a black sleeveless top. She wore nothing on her feet as she stood there with a light smile. "Hey," she said with a small wave.

Twilight smiled back. "Hey..." She then looked behind the demon. "Any... trouble?"

The demon hesitated before shaking her head. "No..." she said, eyeing the floor. "Um... None of the other escaped demons have surfaced yet..."

Twilight tilted her head. "Then... why are you here?" She asked, her heart starting to beat a little faster as she leaned against the door frame.

Kyra let out a brief chuckle. "Um... Well, I remember you saying you'd... like to hang out some time..." the demon replied before looking the unicorn in the eyes. "So, I'd... like to get to know you and... your friends a little more..."

The purple mare smiled wider and nodded. "Great. Who first?"

Kyra thought for a moment before looking over her shoulder. "Maybe the blue one. Rainbow Dash..."

Twilight's smile faded at hearing that it wasn't her. "Oh... Okay..."

Hearing the change in the mare's tone, Kyra looked at her. Seeing the mare's disappointed expression, she felt like she understood why. And it made her happy for some reason. Stepping up to the mare, she leaned in. "I'm saving the... best for last..." she said with a blush before backing away with a smile.

Twilight blushed, too, and smiled back. "Oh..." she repeated, but in a happier tone.

"And, if I get the others out of the way first..." Kyra began before she began backing away. "I can spend the rest of the day with you..." She then turned and began walking away.

Twilight blushed more and watched her demon friend walk away. Slowly closing the door, she slid to her knees, her heart rate picking up. "Oh, my god..." she gasped, not believing how well that went. Now, all she had to do was wait a couple more hours and then it was hers and Kyra's time alone. And, she couldn't wait.

Kyra appeared on the cloud which Rainbow Dash's house sat on. Looking down as her feet sank into the cloud, she smiled lightly as the fluffy clouds felt good on her feet. She then began making her way to the front door, knocking once. Taking a step back, she waited.

She soon heard the doorknob turn before the door opened, revealing the cyan pegasus in a sports bra and shorts and sneakers. "Kyra?" She asked, surprised to see an earth pony on a cloud before remembering she was actually a demon. "You're back," she said with a smile, stepping out of her home. "Any demons we have to hunt down?"

The demon shook her head and took a step towards the mare. "No... Just visiting."

Rainbow let out a soft chuckle as she crossed her arms. "I bet Twilight was happy..."

Kyra raised an eyebrow at that. "Why do you say that?"

"No reason," Dash said with a smirk. "So, I was just on my way to do some working out... If you wanna come, we could play a game of kickball?"

"Kickball..." Kyra repeated, clearly thinking about it. It seemed like she didn't want to but wanted to at least try to make a friend. "I guess I could try it..."

"Cool!" Rainbow said happily as she closed her door. Kyra then slowly wrapped herself in her arms as though she were cold. Turning back to her, Rainbow tilted her head in confusion. "Um... What's wrong? You cold?"

The demon nodded. "A little, yeah..."

"Odd..." the cyan mare said as she walked up to the demon. "It's one of the hottest days of the month."

"Rainbow Dash..." Kyra said with a light chuckle. "Where I'm from, it's... Well, let's just say there's fire everywhere... It's extremely hot. So, this is cold for me..." She then looked around. "You don't have a fireplace I could crawl in, do you?"

Dash let out a chuckle and rubbed the back of her head. "Um..."

The demon then looked back at her and gave her a light smile. "Sorry... You said something about... kickball?"

The cyan mare smiled and nodded, unfolding her wings. "Yep. Follow me." Kyra nodded and waited, making Dashie tilt her head in confusion. "Um... No wings?"

"I don't fly," Kyra explained. "Just head on over. I'll see you there," she said with a smile.

The pegasus hesitated before letting out a sigh. "I was sort of hoping to... fly there with you..." She then let out a light chuckle. "I'm always looking for new flying buddies..."

Seeing how much the pegasus wanted to fly over together, Kyra let out a sigh and nodded. "Alright..." she said, before she closed her eyes. When she did, a pair of demon wings shot out from her back and flapped a little. "Mmm... Haven't used these in a while..." She then opened her eyes to see Rainbow Dash staring in both shock and awe. "Well?" The demon asked with a smile. "Lead the way..."

Rainbow smirked and nodded before running and jumping off her cloud, letting her wings catch the air before flapping them. She then began flying away from her cloud home, looking back to see Kyra still back there. The demon grinned before sliding one foot back. Licking off, she flew straight forward and wrapped her wings around herself, torpedo-ing through the sky towards Rainbow Dash. The pegasus went wide-eyed as the demon flew up beside her before unwrapping herself and flapping her wings a couple times.

"That was awesome!" Rainbow said with a laugh.

Kyra let out a chuckle as the two flew towards a field on the outer part of town, no buildings to get in the way. "I forgot how fun flying is."

"What?!" Rainbow exclaimed in shock. "You forgot how fun flying is?"

"When you can teleport anywhere, you sort of lose the need for it," Kyra told her as they began to descend to the field. "After I while, I sort of just... stopped."

"I see..." Dash said as she landed. "I guess that makes sense, but... what about the feel of the wind through your hair?"

Kyra landed beside her as her wings disappeared. "There's no wind where I live... and, I rarely come to this realm..."

Rainbow gave her a sympathetic smile before placing a hand on her shoulder. "I hope you'll come here more often."

The demon looked over at her and gave her a light smile. "I'm considering it.

"Good," Dash said as she walked over to where a ball sat in the grass. "Now, let's play."

"Do you just leave that there?" The demon asked as she joined the pegasus.

Rainbow nodded and placed her foot on the ball. "Know how to play?"

Kyra let out a chuckle and crossed her arms. "I have been commanding demons for thousands of years, Rainbow Dash. I haven't had the time for games."

"Oh..." the cyan mare replied with a slightly nervous chuckle. "Right... Well, it's simple. It's like baseball, but..." She then eyed the demon, who raised an eyebrow. It was clear she wasn't familiar with baseball, either. "Just, um... Just start by kicking the ball as hard as you can."

Kyra hesitated before letting out a chuckle. "As hard as I can?" She asked, stepping up to the ball.

"Yep," Rainbow said with a smile. "The game is about kicking the ball far. The further the better because it will take longer for the other team to retrieve the ba--"

She was cut off when she felt a burst of wind as the ball rocketed off into the air, quickly disappearing in a shimmer. Staring in disbelief, she looked over at the demon.

"What?" Asked Kyra. "You said to kick it as hard as I could."

The pegasus continued to stare in disbelief before speaking. "We still... needed that..."

Kyra hesitated for a moment, wanting to just conjure up another ball, but she knew that if she were to try making friends she should at least get the same ball back. Letting out a sigh, she started walking. "I'll go get it..."

After playing a quick round of kickball with Rainbow Dash, Kyra decided her next visit would be to Carousal Boutique. Upon arrival, she knocked on the door. The whole door thing was still weird to her as she was used to just teleporting everywhere.

Soon, the door opened. "Kyra, darling," the white unicorn greeted, wearing a blue blouse and purple skirt along with high-heels and fancy-looking glasses. "You're here. Did you go see Twilight yet?"

The red mare tilted her head, wondering why Rarity asked her this. "Um... Yes... Why?"

"It's just, she came by earlier," Rarity explained. "Asking if I'd seen you."

Kyra eyed the ground for a moment. "Oh..."

"Well, since you're here, why not come in," Rarity said as she stepped aside. "How long is your stay?"

"Undetermined," the demon said as she entered. "I just figured I'd give this friend thing a try. It has been a while since I had one..."

Rarity nodded and walked over to a rack of clothes. "Maybe you'd like to help try on some new dresses I made?"

Kyra stared at the clothes before looking back at the door. Biting her lip, she thought for a moment before letting out a soft groan. Turning back to Rarity, she smiled. "Sure..."

The unicorn smiled and wheeled the dresses into the back where the changing rooms were. "You can change back here."

"Uh, Rarity?" The demon asked. "You know I could just... snap my fingers and I'll be in different clothes, right?"

"Oh, well, yes, but..." Rarity said with a light laugh. "It's just you entered through my front door, so I thought you were trying out new things..."

Kyra hesitated in thought for a moment. "Well, I entered through the door to be polite... though, it would be nice to feel normal again..." After tapping her foot in thought a few times, she made her way into the back, entering the curtained off room where the dresses were.

When she was in, she turned to the dresses, wondering if she had to try them all on. Being a succubus by nature, it was weird for her to be changing in private, but she wanted to try the normal thing.

Slowly pulling off her shirt, she let out a sigh and tossed it aside. "That wasn't too difficult..." She then reached down to undo her shorts, only to find her zipper wouldn't budge. "Oh, shit..." Letting out grunts, she pulled harder and broke the tab off. "Fuck..."

Rarity's ears perked at hearing the mare's grunts from the changing room. "Um..." she said as she headed into the back room, stepping up to the close curtain. "You okay in there?"

"Yeah," Kyra replied. "It's just... I broke my zipper off..."

Rarity covered her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. "Um... So... Are you going to use magic to get out of them?"

The demon let out more grunts as she kept tugging on the broken zipper. "I'm... trying not to... Remember?"

The white mare cleared her throat to keep from chuckling at that. "Do you... need help?" She asked, crossing her arms.

The sounds from behind the curtain stopped before the demon finally spoke again. "Um... Yes..."

"Alright, darling, I'm coming in," the unicorn said before stepping into the changing room. To her surprise, the demon just stood there, breasts exposed and not even bothering to cover up. "Uh..."

"What?" Asked the demon. "We're both mares, right? Besides, I'm a succubus-class demon... Being naked in front of others is natural for me. I'm only wearing clothes to keep from drawing attention and so you girls don't feel uncomfortable."

"Fair enough," Rarity said, before looking down at the demon's shorts. "Just grab the zipper from the top with your left hand while holding the opposite side of your shorts with your other hand, then pull the zipper down."

Kyra nodded and looked down, trying to get her hands in the right position before tugging again... and failing. "Um..."

"Would you like me to..." Rarity started to ask. "I mean, I'd... have to... get close to..."

The demon let out a chuckle and took her hands away. "I just said I'm a succubus... I don't care where or how you touch me. As long as your comfortable."

Rarity's blush was now visible. "S... So..." the unicorn said as she stepped in front of the demon, getting a hold of her zipper with one hand and her shorts with the other, her fingers close to the demon's crotch. "A-Are you letting me do this because you... You know..."

Kyra thought for a moment before smirking. "Like you?" She asked, before shaking her head. "I'd let your other friends do it. It's not for you specifically. As I said... Succubus..."

"I see..." Rarity said as she finally managed to pull the zipper down. Her blush grew deeper when she noticed the demon wasn't wearing any panties.

Kyra gave a light chuckle when she saw where the mare was looking. "I can take it from here," she cooed, running a finger down the unicorn's cheek.

Rarity snapped back to reality and let out a nervous chuckle. "Yes, well... Good..." she stammered, backing out of the changing stall. "Try on whichever ones you want..."

"Will do," Kyra said with a smirk, slipping out of her shorts before turning to the clothing rack. "Now... which one do I try?" She then grinned deviously. "Hey, Rarity?" She called.

There was a few seconds of silence before she got a response. "Y-Yes?"

"I may need help figuring out how to get these dresses on..." she cooed.

After a few more seconds of silence, the curtain opened as Rarity's face was bright red.

"I'm not making you... uncomfortable, am I?" Asked Kyra, standing there fully nude.

Rarity stared for a moment, more so in shock than embarrassment. "No... Just... You are so open... It's different..." She then entered and stepped up to the clothing rack. "And, you're... not bad looking..."

Kyra smirked and leaned against the rack. "Really? You think I look... hot?"

The white mare gave a light chuckle at that. "You are attractive, yes, but... See, there was a reason I asked you before if you were only doing this because you liked me..."

"Oh?" Asked the demon. "And, why's that?"

Picking out a black dress, Rarity turned to face Kyra. "I'm not into mares."

Kyra smirked at that. "That's okay. Because I'm just screwing with you."

Rarity let out a laugh of relief. "Ha. Good one."

"But, I have to say, Rarity..." Kyra said with a smile. "You're pretty attractive, too. What's your secret?"

The white mare smiled and seemed more relaxed now. "Well, I shouldn't give away all my secrets, but... some of it has to do with my visits to the town spa."

"A spa?" Asked Kyra. "Is it... hot there?"

Rarity hesitated for a moment, a little confused by the question. "Hot? Yes, there's a steam room... It can get pretty hot in there..."

"Good," Kyra said with a sigh. "Because I'm so cold... Worse now, since I'm naked..."

"Cold?" Asked the mortal mare, still confused.

"It's like a furnace where I'm from, so I'm used to it being really hot. This normal temperature is cold for me."

"I see..." Rarity said, before smiling. "Maybe, we can go together some time."

Kyra smiled back and nodded. "Yes, that sounds like fun."

"It's a date, then," the unicorn said as she held out the dress. "Now, let's get you into these dresses so I can see what you like in them."

The demon nodded as she looked over the dress. "Alright, fashion pony... You may begin..."

The red demon walked up to Sugarcube Corner and entered the shoppe. When she did, Pinkamena looked up from the book she was reading and smiled. Even though her hair hung over half her face, she knew who it was clear as day.

"Kyra," she said, as she closed the book. "Welcome back. Please, tell me you visited Twilight first."

Kyra hesitated before approaching the counter. "Um... Yes, I did..." she said, not knowing why both this mare and Rarity had said that.

"Oh, good," the pink mare said with a light smile. "So, what brings you here?"

"Well, I'm... attempting to get to know you and the others..." Kyra said as she stepped up to the counter. "I've already seen Rainbow Dash and Rarity, and... I feel like it went well..." She then thought for a moment before eyeing the ceiling. "Except I kicked a ball into Manehattan and had a some fun with Rarity..." She then looked at the pink mare, who had a light blush. "Not like that," the demon explained. "She had me try on dresses... so I made her help me since I haven't put on clothes and taken them off without magic in... a very long time..."

"Makes sense, I guess," the pink mare said as she started to back away. "Well, if you come with me, I can show you the kitchen."

Kyra gave her a light smile and followed her into the back room. Inside was a long wooden table in the center with baking ingredients and utensils. Around the edge of the room were counters, cabinets, and at the far wall was a large oven. The red light inside indicated that something was cooking.

Sniffing the air, Kyra smiled. "Mmm... Smells nice."

"Doesn't it?" Pinks asked as she walked over to the oven and grabbed two oven mittens. She then opened the oven and pulled out a tray with chocolate chip cookies, setting them on the middle table. "Try one?" She asked as Kyra stepped up to the table. "You may need to wait until it..." she began as Kyra picked one up. "until it... cools down..." The pink mare watched as the demon quickly put it in her mouth without hesitation. "So... How is it?"

The demon nodded and swallowed. "Mmm... It was good," she said with a smile, before eyeing the empty oven. "Say, uh... how hot can that get?"

"What, the oven?" The pink mare asked as she looked over her shoulder at the oven. "It's at 450-degrees right now, but it can go higher... Why?"

"Because I'm so cold," Kyra said as she walked over to the oven and climbed in, the door closing behind her.

"U-Um..." Pinkamena stammered, surprised at what the demon just did. Slowly approaching the oven, she knocked on the window. "Are you... good in there?"

"Yeah," came the demon's voice. "It's nice in here. Makes me think of home."

"You know, food goes in there to bake for others to eat, right?"

"Don't worry. I won't leave anything behind."

Pinkamena walked over to the table and sat on the edge, facing the oven. After about another minute or so, Kyra's hand appeared on the window. Pushing the door open, the demon crawled out before standing up with a sigh.

"That felt nice," Kyra cooed, before noticing Pinkie's blush. "What?" The pink mare pointed at the demon, who looked down to notice her clothes had burnt off. "Oh..." she said, before eyeing Pinks. "Have any, uh... spare clothes?"

"Well, you could always bring it back, right?" Asked the earth pony.

"I'm trying to be a normal mare," Kyra explained. "No demon magic."

The pink mare let out a chuckle. "Normal? You just crawled into an oven because you were cold. Now, you're standing in my kitchen, naked."

"Huh..." the red mare said as she looked at herself before looking back at the oven. "Good point..." She then snapped hr fingers as the same clothes she was wearing before began to re-form around her body. "There. Better?"

Pinks gave her a smile. "Better."

After eating a few more cookies, Kyra said her good-byes to the pink mare and made her way towards Fluttershy's cottage. Stepping up to the door, she hesitated. This was the shy one, so she couldn't screw with her like she did Rarity and Pinkie. She paced back and forth in front of the door as she tried to figure out how to best tackle this. Soon, she let out a sigh and knocked.

She heard a light gasp from the other side before the door slowly opened. Peeking out, Fluttershy let out a relieved sigh. "Kyra," Fluttershy said with a smile, wearing a white, sleeveless shirt and a lime green skirt. Her smile then faded and put her fist to her lips. "There's not another demon, is there?"

Kyra let out a chuckle and shook her head. "No... Everyone seems to think that, though..."

Fluttershy went wide-eyed a little. "O-Oh, I... I didn't mean anything by it... I just--"

She was cut off when Kyra raised her hand to silence her. "It's fine, Fluttershy." Lowering her hand, she gave a small smile. "So... Were you about to head out?" She asked.

Fluttershy gave her a small smile back. "How'd you know?"

"Well, you answered the door faster than the others..." Kyra replied with a chuckle. "Who'd've thought?"

The shy mare blushed, knowing what she meant. "Well... I was just about to go check on my animal friends," she said, looking at the demon through her hair. "Would you... like to..."

This mare was way too adorable and shy to be hanging out with a demon, yet here she was. Asking a demon to take a walk with her. Kyra let out a sigh and gave a single nod. "Mmm... Okay..."

The pegasus smiled again before stepping out and closing the door. "This way," she said, as she turned right and began walking towards the back of the house.

As they walked around the side of the house, Kyra spotted a homemade wooden sign with the name Angel carved in it.

"Angel?" Asked Kyra, almost sounding disgusted.

Fluttershy stopped suddenly before turning to look at the grave. "O-Oh... Not that kind of Angel..." she said softly, before slowly approaching the sign.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Kyra followed her. "Then, was... Angel one of your animals?"

The yellow mare slowly got to her knees in front of the sign, the demon stepping up next to her. Fluttershy then began whimpering softly. "H-He was my... my pet..." she said, sniffling. "My friend..." Kyra said nothing, not knowing what to do. Just then, Fluttershy looked up at her. "Y-You haven't... seen a bunny hopping around... have you?" She asked with tears in her eyes and slight glimmer of hope.

Letting out a silent gasp, Kyra slowly got to her knees beside the pegasus. "Fluttershy... Animals don't end up with me..."

Nodding, the pegasus hung her head and cried softly. Hesitantly reaching her arm out, Kyra let out a sigh before putting it around the pegasus. To her surprise, the yellow mare buried her face in her upper chest and cried louder. The demon was taken aback. Never would she have thought that a mortal would feel this safe around her. It was almost a relief for her. Slowly, the red mare put her other arm around the pegasus and nuzzled the top of her head, letting the pegasus cry as much as she wanted.

Kyra walked down the path towards Sweet Apple Acres, stopping when she saw the farm. Hesitating, she exhaled deeply before making her way up to the entry gate. Standing there, she stared at the barn for a few seconds before stepping onto the property.

When she did, a strong-looking, red stallion wearing overalls and boots walked up to her. "Can I help you?" He asked in a deep but kind voice.

The demon eyed him and smiled. "Yes, I'm... looking for Applejack."

The stallion nodded. "Are you Kyra?"

The red mare crossed her arms and raised her head a little. "Yeah... What do you know about me?"

"I know you saved Apple Bloom, and I know you're a demon."

Kyra went wide-eyed. "How?"

"Applejack and Apple Bloom told me. I heard Twilight came by, asking about you... so, I asked Applejack."

"Uh-huh..." the demon said, her eyes narrowing. "You better not tell anyone..."

The stallion let out a chuckle. "Who'd believe me?"

"But, you believed Applejack and Apple Bloom."

"They're my sisters," the stallion explained. "I listen to them. Besides... you just confirmed it."

Kyra eyed the ground, letting out a growl at how careless she was. If he didn't know before, he did now.

"Name's Big Mac, by the way," the stallion said, introducing himself. "Applejack's in the orchard, pickin' apples. She should be finishing up."

Kyra eyed him and smiled lightly. "Thanks," she said, before making her way towards the orchards.

When she neared a fence, she could see tons and tons of apple trees. There was an opening a few feet to her left, which Applejack was heading towards. She was carrying two big bags full of apples, one for each hand. Seeing the demon standing there, she gave a smile.

"Howdy there, Kyra," she greeted, setting the bags down by the fence and walking over to the red mare. "Yer back. Did ya see Twilight?"

Kyra let out a sigh and leaned back against the fence. "Yes, and why does everyone keep asking me that?"

AJ tilted her head with a smile. "Everyone?"

The demon nodded. "Rarity, Pinkamena, and now you."

"Well, three hardly seems like everyone, but maybe it's because she was lookin' for ya."

Kyra hesitated before eyeing her. "Looking for me?" She asked, crossing her arms.

The farm mare nodded, letting out a chuckle. "She was practically out of breath when she came runnin' up here to ask if ah'd seen ya."

Kyra eyed the ground and nodded lightly. "Why the hell would she do that?"

This made Applejack let out a louder laugh, almost startling the demon. "Well, I dunno, Kyra. Maybe she likes ya."

"Of course she likes me," Kyra said plainly. "I'm interesting compared to you normies. And, she isn't half bad, either. We got along well last time I was here."

"Ah don't mean that kinda like..." AJ pointed out. "She seemed pretty anxious to meet you again. Now, ah don't wanna put words in her mouth or go jumpin' to conclusions... but, I would keep an eye on her to see how she reacts around you. Ya might get yr answer."

Shaking her head, Kyra looked away with a light blush. "No one could like me like that," Kyra said through her teeth. "I'm not the kind of pony other ponies fall for... given what I am and what I do..."

Chuckling, Applejack went back to her apples and picked the bags up. "Ah dunno, Kyra. You are kinda cute."

Blushing more, Kyra eyed her. "Don't be ridiculous... i'm not cute. Malice is cute. I'm..."

"Hot?" Asked AJ, before letting out another chuckle. "I was tryin' to be friendly about it, and... not awkward."

"Hot is better, but... I was thinking more sultry," the demon corrected. "Me being a succubus and all..."

"Yeah, yer sultry, alright," AJ agreed. "Now, ah'd ask if ya wanted to help, but I get the feelin' you'd rather be with Twilight."

Kyra thought for a moment, her blush deepening. She was curious as to what Twilight thought of her but she was supposed to hang out with all of Twilight's friends to get to know them. Letting out a deep sigh, she looked up at the sky.

"Ah, I guess I am kinda curious about Twilight..." the demon groaned. "But... what if she does like me?" She asked, looking at Applejack.

"Have you never been in a relationship?"

"No, I was burned alive for being a freak before I could even have a crush," Kyra said bluntly, with a hint of hatred at how she died.

AJ suddenly felt sad for her, her smile fading. "Oh... Well, if she does like you... take her on a date. Maybe she can make you happy."

"And, if I don't like her like that after the date?"

AJ hesitated before setting her apples back down. "Knowing you, I would say you could just walk away, or whatever... but, the fact yer asking me that tells me you are concerned with how Twilight would feel if you did walk away. Seems like good start to me."

Kyra hesitated before giving her a very light smile. "Okay, Applejack," she said, turning and walking away. "I'll see ya later."

"Lemme know how it goes," AJ called after her, chuckling.

Smiling lightly, Kyra waved goodbye as she left the farm.

The moon was starting to come out as Kyra slowly walked up to the door to the Golden Oaks Library, hesitating before opening it.

Looking up from the book she was reading, Twilight smiled at her from the couch. "You're back," she said, closing her book and standing up.

The demon eyed her before closing the door, Applejack's words still in her thoughts. "Yes," she said, making her way towards the unicorn. "I have spent the day getting to know your friends," she said, crossing her arms. "What now?"

Twilight smiled at hearing that she got to know her friends before her smile faded a little. "Um..." she said, trying to think. "Maybe we could... go for a... walk?"

Kyra raised an eyebrow. "A walk?"

Twilight blushed a little as she averted her gaze from the demon. "Yeah, you know... Get to know each other more... Like what you did with the others today?"

Kyra looked her over, reading her body language. Applejack had mentioned to keep an eye on how she acted around her and she sure was acting weird. Was that farm pony right? Did Twilight really have a thing for her?

Hesitating for a few more seconds, Kyra let out a sigh. "Alright," she said, turning and heading for the door. "Let's go for a walk."

Twilight quickly looked over at her before rushing to catch up to her, seemingly eager to go on this walk. After they left, they started walking through the almost empty streets of Ponyville.

"Oh, I know this great spot," Twilight said suddenly, breaking the awkward silence. "It's on a hill that overlooks the town... and..." she said, looking over at the demon to see her giving her a questionable look. "And there's a... a tree..." she finished, before looking away.

Keeping her eyes on the mare, Kyra bit her lip as she was starting to get curious. "I would... like to see this spot," she finally said.

The unicorn's eyes lit up and quickened her pace. "This way..."

Letting out a quiet chuckle, Kyra followed her. Twilight led her out of town and then up onto a nearby hill, overlooking the town's center and Town Hall. Near the edge was a tree with a ton of leaves and a thick trunk. Walking up to the tree, Twilight sat down in the grass and leaned back against the tree. Looking up at the demon, she watched as Kyra slowly knelt beside her on her left, before sliding to her butt and stretching her legs out.

"See?" Asked the unicorn, wrapping her arms around herself. "I-Isn't it a great view?"

Kyra looked over at her and tilted her head slightly. "Something the matter?" She asked. "You seem... cold?"

Letting out a quiet shiver, Twilight looked over at her. "Well, I sort of... r-rushed after you and f-forgot my coat... A-And, it's a surprisingly cold night..." She then noticed that the demon wore only a sleeveless shirt and shorts. "Aren't you cold? Or, is it a demon thing?"

Chuckling softly, Kyra nodded. "It's a demon thing. I had to climb into Pinkamena's oven earlier when I was cold since I was trying not to use my demonic powers. But, now... without an oven... I sort of have to..." she explained plainly. "All I do is heat up my body until I'm no longer cold."

"Oh, you... you heat your body up?" Twilight asked, still hugging herself.

"Yes, I..." Kyra began, stopping when she saw the unicorn was still shivering. Thinking about what Applejack said, she decided now was the time to test it. "If you want... you can... move closer..." she said, her blush being hidden by her red skin.

Blushing as well, Twilight felt her heart skip a beat. "U-Um... I-I..."

"It's fine if you don't want to," the demon said as she started to look away.

"N-No!" The unicorn said suddenly, making Kyra look over at her again. "I, uh..." she muttered, before sliding a little closer so they were about a couple inches apart. Eyes locked on the demon's, she slid a tad closer so they were about an inch apart.

Letting out a chuckle, Kyra reached around and placed her hand on Twilight's right hip, pulling her close so their sides touched. The warmth was incredible. Half of Twilight's body was still a little cold but it was totally ignorable given how close she was to the demon. "Don't be afraid, Twilight. Remember, I'm a succubus. Intimate things are normal to me," she explained, getting a bigger blush from the unicorn. "Why, earlier today, I let Rarity see me naked as I tried on clothes. And, when I climbed out of Pinkamena's oven, all my clothes had burned off."

Twilight's whole face was red by this point. "R-Rarity, and Pinks... saw you... naked?"

"Yes," Kyra replied before chuckling. "And, what's with the stammering?" She teased. "I know you aren't cold anymore..."

"N-Nothing!" Twilight gasped, looking down at the ground.

"Are you... jealous?" Kyra cooed, continuing her teasing as she was also probing the mare for information on how she felt about her. "Do you want to see me naked, too?"

Twilight was sweating, and not from the demon's body heat. "That's not it... I-I just... I..."

"Twilight?" Kyra asked, her tone sounding softer. "Look at me..." The unicorn slowly lifted her head to look at her, their faces an inch apart. "Do you... like me?"

Twilight tensed up at that. "Like you?" She asked, clearly nervous. "W-Well, uh... I see you as a friend... You know... You're nice, I guess... So..."

Smiling gently, Kyra seemed to be in a more serious mood now than a playful one. "That's not what I meant..."

Twilight bit her lip as she looked the demon in the eyes. She knew this may be the only chance she'd get to tell her how she really felt about her. If she was ever going to, now was the time. "I... I think I... do..." she said, her voice getting softer and softer until she finished in a whisper.

Kyra let out what appeared to be a sad sigh as her smile faded. "Twilight... You know what I am, don't you? What I do? What I've done?" Pausing for a moment, it seemed like she was holding back tears. "I can't start a relationship with a mortal... I don't deserve it... I don't deserve... you..."

Twilight let out a soft gasp. "You don't..." she said, starting to repeat the last thing Kyra said. "Of course you do. I know you act tough since your the Demon Queen, and all, but I've seen your softer side. When you had to rip my leg off to keep me from becoming a puppet of the Candy Mare, you cared. You said it yourself."

"You were growing on me," Kyra said with a light smile. "You still are. I don't know why, but... I find your awkwardness... adorable..."

The unicorn was sweating with nervousness and anticipation. "Well, I find your, uh... demon-ness... attractive..."

Kyra let out a chuckle. "My demon-ness?" She asked, her eyes then going half-lidded. "You mean this?" She cooed seductively.

Twilight simply stared back in awe, before snapping back to reality. "Th-That, and... just how you act and... I like your face, and your... voice..."

"And..." Kyra said as she leaned in a little, so Twilight could feel her breath on her lips. "My body?"

Twilight blushed deeply. "U-Uh... I-I haven't... seen it yet, but... f-from what I can see, it's... good..."

"Haven't seen it yet?" Kyra asked with a smirk.

The unicorn went wide-eyed and pulled away. "N-No, I didn't mean--" she started to exclaim, before Kyra pulled her close again. Out of instinct, she put her hand out to stop herself, only to feel the base of the demon's neck against her fingertips and her breasts against her wrist. She froze up when she realized how close her palm was to the demon's breasts. The demon didn't seem to care, though.

"I wouldn't mind... giving this a try," Kyra replied, as Twilight started to pull her hand away. The demon gently took her hand in her own, their fingers slowly interlocking as the unicorn was finding it hard to breathe. "I'm assuming you'd like to try this, too?"

Nodding, Twilight gave her a smile. "I'd love that..."

Kyra let out a soft chuckle. "Alright, then... I suppose that means we're dating now..."

"Yeah..." Twi replied as she leaned her head against the demon's shoulder, loving how warm she felt. "We are..."

The red mare smiled and rubbed her back as she kept holding her hand. None said another word. They just looked out upon the city from the hill they were on, thinking about how they were now in a relationship.
