Chapter Text
On October 1st, an early Monday morning. Oichi was sleeping peacefully in her bed when the alarm went off, Oichi went on sleeping until a hand reached over and turned it off. It was 5 am in the morning. Sakamoto yawned as he sat up in bed. He had no shirt on and was in a pair of shorts. He rubbed his head as he looked over at Oichi. He smiled at her as she turned over and curled over to him. Oichi and Sakamoto had started dating a few weeks after that little scene was played out. Rick was able to talk to Sakamoto's grandfather, Seth, and tell him what happened and the state of Lila's mind. Sakamoto's mother Matsuri tried her best to defend her but was shut down by Seth quickly. He had already approved of Sakamoto's and Oichi's relationship long before they became official, but he still needed to speak to them about it. He had Lila removed from school and sent to his homeland for a revaluation of her mindset.
Now in a relationship, Sakamoto spends more time at Oichi's house than at his own. Danni didn't really mind it, but Samuel kept his eyes on him. Sakamoto leans on his elbow and rubs Oichi's head as she slept. He then shakes her. "Hey, it's time to get up hun." She stirs in her sleep. "5 more minutes..." "You said that last time and we were late to school. Therefore, we set the alarm early now come up you get." Oichi groans and sits up. Her hair was getting long, and it was down almost to her hips now. She usually slept naked from time to time but today she slept in her yellow batman t-shirt. "Yain is going to get mad if you aren't up and already getting ready." Oichi rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and pouted it. "I hate waking up early..." Sakamoto chuckled and kissed her cheek. Oichi turned her head and they shared another kiss. Oichi slightly moans into it before Sakamoto pulls back. "In the shower." Oichi groans out and rolls out of bed. "Fineeee....."
Across the town at the Ravenswood Royal Hotel, in the Gothic Medieval suite, Cien son of Astaroth was putting his school uniform on. Looking over to the bed, a figure was under the blankets in a deep sleep, smiling slightly Cien was full from having his fill of Darcaniea's dark aura. Finishing with his shirt, he stepped over to the bed "Darcaniea, I'm gonna head to school know..." Darcaniea hummed softly and opened her eyes "I see, don't forget to do the test for me if the crystal glows red-" Cien nodded "Yeah I know, don't worry I got to be her friend so it won't be hard getting alone with her" Darcaniea chuckled "let's hope you do" she closed her eyes. Cien leaned down kissing her forehead taking a small snack of her black aura, she giggled "go on my handsome Demon" Cien smirked and leaned back up, grabbing his bag and slipping on his converse "see you at 3" he said grabbing his car keys and leaving the room.
Oichi was brushing her hair in the living room. "Ugh...my hair is getting too long. It's about time to cut it..." Sakamoto chuckled as he grabbed their lunches. "I think you look cute with long hair." Oichi blushed. "E-Even so it's too long..." Yain walked in. Danni had expanded the house more and he had his own room now. He looked at Oichi and frowned. "Lady Oichi, if you do not cut your hair soon..." "I know, I know..." Sakamoto ran his fingers through it. "What's wrong with having long hair?" Oichi shook her head. "My hair grows faster than most. When I get it cut it takes less than 4 weeks for it to go back to its regular length. If I leave it like this then I'll be like the girl in that tower in that story...?" She looks at Yain. "Rapunzel. It will become troublesome, especially in training." Sakamoto pouted a bit. "Fine...then this weekend let's go to the mall to the salon on a date!" He says smiling. Oichi giggled. "Okay. Can we get Chinese?" "Yeah, my treat." Oichi smiles and wraps her arm around his. "Yay! I can't wait!" Sakamoto chuckles. Yain shakes his head and grabs his bag. "We should get going before we are late." Sakamoto held up his keys. "I know Mr. Bodyguard. Mr. Samuel has made it very clear that I have to get you both to school on time or I'm out." Yain nods. "So long as you know."
Oichi and Sakamoto held hands as they went to the door, that was until Danni came out in a hurry. "Oichi sweetheart! One second." Oichi turned around. "Yes, mama?" Danni frowned and rubbed her head. "I'm really sorry to tell you this sweetheart but I need to speak to you." Oichi frowned. "Mama? Is everything okay?" Danni placed her hands together. "It's...It's about me and your father." "Papa..." Danni sighed. "I talked to your grandfather about this as well and I had made my choice...to leave him..." Oichi's eyes widen. "Leave? Like...divorce leave?" Danni nods. "The man I fell in love with is no longer there dear. I...I wasn't happy with him and after he took you away from me that was the last straw..." Oichi looked down and smiled slightly. She let go of Sakamoto's hand and went to Danni and hugged her. "I understand mama. I know you will find happiness with someone else. Papa doesn't deserve a strong and beautiful woman like you anyways." Danni smiled and hugged her back. "Thank you for understanding Oichi. Of course, I have to speak to your grandmother about this. I just don't want them to treat you more like an outsider." Oichi pulled away and shook her head. "Even if they do, I have Jess and Sakamoto and Yain and other friends!" She skipped to Sakamoto and wrapped her arm back around his. "I support whatever you decided to do mama. You deserve to be happy with whoever you please." Danni giggled. "Thank you, dear. I'm sorry to tell you this on your way to school. I hope you have a good day today. I'll be at work, so you two boys better watch out for her." Yain nodded. "Of course, Ma'am." Sakamoto kissed Oichi on the forehead. "I always will." Danni smiled at them and watched them take their leave.
Jess parked her car in the school's parking lot, turning off her car she got out with her bag over her shoulder. Walking to the back of the school doors, she walked in and turned to the lunchroom where students were hanging out before the bells rang. Seeing Rick and his brother at one of the tables with the other boys, she smiled and walked over "Morning" they turned their heads, and their eyes widen.
Rick stood up fast "Jess... what happen to your hair....?" Jess flushed slightly reaching up and twirling her finger in her now slightly wavy short hair. "Oh I cut it... does it look weird...?"
Rick gulped and his face flushed "you kidding me? You look beautiful! Long, short it doesn't matter" Chida chuckled "the short hair does look adorable on you" the other boys nodded; Jess giggled with a now redder face "Hehe thanks"
Then feeling a hand on her head and making her look up, Rick was growling to see Damien behind her "Wow short hair! You look so f*cken cute that I just wanna kiss you." Rick growled more and pulled Jess away from him "Back off Demon!" Jess sighed "Stop it...." Damien chuckled "not my fault, maybe you shouldn't have such a gorgeous witch for a girlfriend" Rick growled. Chida sighed "it's too early for this sh*t..."
"Morning" They looked to see Cien standing there, Jess smiled "Morning Cien" he smiled "Morning, your hair is short now?" Jess nodded "how does it look?" Cien chuckled "looks pretty" Jess smiled 'I wonder what Oichi will think of my hair now'
Sakamoto pulled up to the school. They got out. Oichi and Sakamoto held hands with Yain following behind them. They were heading to the lunchroom and ran into Ross who was waiting for them. "There's my cute..." His eyes widen slightly to see Oichi's long hair. "Whoa! Your hair wasn't that long Friday." Oichi sighs. "I know...it's a hassle for me right now. It gotta get it cut before it gets too long." "Why!? You look cute with long hair." Sakamoto chuckled. "See I told you, though hearing it from Ross makes me slowly agree that you need to cut your hair. I don't need other guys thinking like him." Ross chuckled and walked up to Oichi. "Can I get my morning hug?" Oichi nodded and walked up to him. He placed his arms around her and sighs out as he drained her a bit. He then kisses her forehead and moans out slightly before Sakamoto pulled her away. "I think that's enough for this morning." Ross licked his lips. "That wasn't nearly enough with contact." Sakamoto pulled a tired-looking Oichi along. "You can easily drain her without touching her and at a slower rate 'oh mighty demon' He says the last part mockingly. Ross shrugs and joins them in a walk.
They reached the lunchroom and Oichi scanned the room for Jess until she saw Makoto and Nyx walking toward them. She sighs. "Well, there goes my mood..." She mumbles. Sakamoto frowned as Makoto walked up to him, ignoring Oichi. "Mother wants you to come home tonight." "You can tell mother that unless grandfather wills it, I refuse to go back home." Makoto frowned. "You can't keep avoiding her brother." "Oh, little sister, I have my ways. I have avoided her for years and I can happily keep doing it. All she wants anyways is to try to get Lila back in school." Makoto frowned and glared at Oichi. "I hope you happy you stupid mutt. Thanks to you our family is falling apart." Oichi looked down sadly. "Screw you Makoto. Our family was already falling apart." He pushed her to the side nearly tossing her to the ground. "...and if you ever try to come for my girlfriend mother will be finding your head in a box sent to her." He says with his eyes flashing red. Makoto bit her lip and quickly walked off with Nyx behind her. Oichi sighs again. "I'm sorry...I must be causing a lot of trouble for you." Sakamoto kissed the back of her hand. "It's nothing to be sorry about hun. My family matters are of no concern to you. Don't let Makoto stir you up. She's an idiot who can't think on her own." Oichi nodded as he kissed her cheek.
They walked around and spotted Jess and the others. Oichi smiled and dragged Sakamoto with her. "Jess!!" She says waving. She then stopped when she saw Jess's hair and gasps. "Your hair!! You look so cute!!" Oichi says with sparkles in her eyes."
Jess giggled. "Thank you! And your hair is so long! You look so adorable!" Rick looked at the lock "We have 5 minutes, I think we should head to our lockers Jess" Jess smiled "Yeah, you coming Oichi? We have homeroom today" Our lockers are on the other side of the school, but we rarely use them so sure!" She says smiling. Jess linked arms with Oichi "Come on, let's ditch the boys" Rick gasped "W-what!!?" Chida and their friends started to laugh. Sakamoto shook his head. "Overprotective as always I see." Ross chuckled. "With Damien over here looking like he is I would be overprotective of my girl too."
Jess just giggled and walked away with Oichi "So have you two done it yet?" she whispered to Oichi. Oichi blushed. "N-No...but he's touched me a bit and I've touched him...I mean I don't know much about 'that' so I'm even sure what to do...Have you and Rick?"
Jess giggled "No we haven't but a lot of foreplay" she can tell the boys were not far behind them. She smirked as she had a silent spell over her and Oichi "So how is it waking up with a half-naked vampire" she grinned. Oichi's face got redder. "Kinda like a dream...waking up to him beside me nearly every morning just makes me very happy. I guess."
Not far behind them, Rick outed "What are they talking about? Did she put a silence spell on them?" Chida shook his head "brother calm your ass down" Damien grinned "one day Rick, one day" Rick growled took a swing at him "She's MINE!" Damien ducked and laughed. Ross was shaking his head "Damien knock it off" Damien pouted "but It's fun messing with him, vampires are easy to anger" Rick growled "Jackass!" Cien sighed and kept walking 'I have to get alone with her to test this theory Darcaniea has"
Sakamoto scratched his head. "Makoto's in homeroom...I really don't want to deal with her." Yain sighs. "Then maybe have her switched out. She's becoming a bother for Lady Oichi. If Jazz snaps, her neck again I'm afraid her neck will become permanently crocked." Sakamoto chuckled. "Maybe that will be for the best. She needs to learn that she can't go around trying to act tough and not have anything to back it up. She didn't learn her lesson with Jess so why not have Jazz have a go at it." He says shrugging. Yain narrowed his eyes at him slightly. "Do you not care for your younger sister?" Sakamoto gave out a dry laugh. "Hardly...she's just like our mother. Never letting anything go. Always want their way. Try to toss their power around. It pisses me off but as long as they leave me and Oichi alone they can do whatever they want."
Not long they all got to their lockers, put their bags away, and grabbed their stuff for the first hour after homeroom, walking into the homeroom class. Mr. Greenly was at his desk a book open reading it "come on in and sit down" he said flipping the page, Sarah and Cissy see Jess and they gasp "Jess your hair!" Jess smiled "What do you think?" Cissy giggled "You look so cute!" Sarah smiled with a nod "Very cute" "I say she still looks ugly" they turn their heads to Makoto sitting not far with her groupies. Jess frowned at her "funny coming from you and your disgusting attitude"
Makoto sucked her teeth. "If anyone should be called disgusting it's the idiot wolf pup dating my brother." Oichi frowned. "You do know it's only a matter of time until you can even be with him. Mother will make sure your sad and disgusting relationship ends up in heartbreak." Yain growled slightly and took a step forward but Oichi held her hand out. "It's okay." She looked at Makoto. "You are...a very sad and petty person..." Makoto's eyes widen slightly at that along with her pack. Jess smiled 'Oichi, that was awesome of you!'
"I don't understand why you hate me so much...and every time I try to make friends with you, you lash out at me and try to bully me. At this point, it's just...very sad...I feel bad for whatever made you into this and I hope that maybe one day you can break free of that sh*tty mindset you have and actually talk to me and make me understand why you have so much hate towards me and my kind...but I guess until that happens I would like for you to not come near me anymore and keep your threats to yourself." Sakamoto smirked happily that she was finally standing up for herself. Makoto was taken back and for the first time in a month, she had nothing to say or lash back out at Oichi.
Mr. Greenly cleared his throat "enough, sit down now" he said as the bell rang, the students quickly went to their seats. Mr. Greenly went to the door closing it, as the Tv came on.
"Good morning students, it's the first of October and that means!" "Yes! The Halloween ball!" the students in the classroom gasped and muttered with excitement. Jess grinned "Sweet! Halloween party!"
"The student council had given us a note stating that the Halloween ball will be yes, on Halloween day. Tickets will up for sale today after school, you can purchase them in the ticket booth made by the drama club. The ticket booth will be station in the lunchroom, now then for lunch today popcorn shrimp and curly seasonal fries! And that's all it for the day" the accountments ended. Jess giggled "that sounds yummy! Popcorn shrimp!"
"Halloween party..." Oichi says mumbling. Sakamoto smiles. "You're going to love it. You can dress up as anything you want, dance, play games, and all that extra stuff." Oichi hums to herself. It didn't sound all that exciting to her. Sakamoto could read her face. "I think the most that would interest you is that you can make your own costume if you want to wear one." "And the food..." Yain adds on. A smile came to Oichi's face as she got a little excited. "Cool." Sakamoto chuckles. "There's my excited pup."
Jess giggled "Oh I can't wait to dress up! Mhmm Rick, what are you planning on going as?" Rick grinned "The Joker of course" Chida chuckled "I'll go a dark prince" Sarah and Cissy giggled "we are both going as catgirls! What going has Jess?" Jess thought for a moment "Mhmmm since Rick is going has the joker, I'll guess I'll go as Harley Quinn" Sarah and Cissy awed "Awwww! The king and queen of crime!" Jess flushed and Rick grinned.
Oichi smiled at him. She wasn't sure what she was going to dress up as. She was becoming fascinated with Batman from DC and Captain America from Marvel. She looked at Sakamoto. "Are you going to dress up?" Sakamoto nods. "Mine as well. Wanna dress together?" Oichi blushed a bit. "I don't know what to dress up as..." "I'm sure we can find something that fits us." Oichi nodded and turns to Yain. "You are coming too right?" "Of course. I'd rather not dress up though." He says sighing.
Jess then groaned "Wait Rick we were Harley Quinn and Joker last year... can we go as something else?" Rick's eyes widen he was shocked "Wait you sure?" Jess nodded "how about Spider-man and Spider-Gwen?!" she grinned. Rick blinked "Spider-man and Spider Gwen...?" Damien grinned "seeing Jess wear a skin-tight outfit is something I wanna see" Rick frowned "What can't you just stop it already?!" Damien chuckled "oh please like I would ever stop" Jess sighed and raised her hand "Mr. Greenly?" he looked at her "Yes?" "Can I go to the nurse, I have a migraine...." Chida chuckled softly "Wow you two are now giving her a migraine" Rick pouted "No I'm not...! She's on her" he didn't finish when Jess spun around and smacked him in the back of the head "Don't you dare finish that sentence" Sarah and Cissy gasped "Rick!"
Oichi shook her head as Sakamoto chuckled. Gr. Greenly "very well, Jess go on" Jess flushed and left the room.
Rick rubbed the back of his head "that was uncalled for..." Damien shook his head "no girl wants that to say in front of everyone" Chida nodded "true, I mean I can smell it from over here" Rick growled at them.
"Um...maybe you should think about Jess before you say something so inappropriate and a bit embarrassing like that..." Oichi says frowning. Sakamoto chuckled. "To open for your own good."
Jess walked down the hallway to the nurse's office, behind her was Cien. Carefully not to make her notice him following him, going into his pocket, he took out an Ice clear Quartz crystal cube, holding it slightly towards. His eyes widen as it started to glow red 'test confirm....' He stopped when Jess turned into the nurse's office and the crystal turned back to normal, he bites his lip 'I need to call Darcaniea' he said and rushed to the boy's restroom taking out his phone as the bell rang.
Oichi, Yain, and Ross were heading to their next class. Sakamoto was with them walking Oichi to class. Oichi was frowning as she tried to figure out what she was going to wear for the party. Ross chuckles at her. "No need to fry your brain. You have time to figure out what you want to wear" Ross says patting her head. Suddenly they heard screaming. Oichi frowned as she recognizes the scream. She quickly rushed around the corner with the boys on her heels. Oichi stopped just in time to see Florina being thrown into the lockers by Makoto. She held her arm as she fell to the ground in tears. Makoto growled at her. "Next time I tell you to move you better move you bitch!! I'm not in any mood to play with a weak human like you!!!" Nyx and the other girls chuckled as Makoto put her foot on Florina's arm. Florina cries out in pain. "hmmf... seems like I used my strength. Ugh...humans..."
Oichi's eyes widen at this site as anger bubbled inside her. She gripped her fist as a dark aura started to pour out of her. Yain and the other came to a complete stop when they felt this. Yain ran up to Oichi and grabbed her arm. "Lady Oichi you must..." Oichi smacked Yain's hand away. Yain hissed out in pain and jumped back slightly. He looked down to see a burn mark. Sakamoto raced to Oichi with Ross behind him, but her aura pushed them back. Oichi bared her fangs. "How DARE you hurt her!!" She yelled out to Makoto who smirks at her. "Aw are you, friends, with her...I figured. That nasty honey scent is all over her. Yuck." The girls chuckled behind her. Sakamoto frowns and was about to shut Makoto up until they noticed a change in Oichi's aura. They watched her body be covered in the dark purple and black aura. It then manifested into a very huge skeleton. Ross's eyes widen as he could feel Endus darkness and the mix of black magic pouring out of Oichi. He could feel his skin tingling. He took a step back. Even if he wanted to there was no way he would be able to absorb that much dark energy. Sakamoto was still trying to get to Oichi, but the aura was keeping him back. Like a barrier was around her.
In front of her, Makoto's eyes widened in fear as Oichi's eyes turned black. Nyx and the other girls broke out in a sweat and fell to the floor. Oichi took slow steps toward them. All the while she drew out more and more dark aura.
In the main office, Crissy grips as she felt the intense aura. She gets up and quickly follows it with a dark smile on her face. 'My lady...I can feel it ...I can feel your darkness. I've longed to finally see you once more.' She chuckles to herself as she follows the aura.
After Jess took her pill, that intense aura. She frowned "aurora do you feel that?" Aurora frowned with a nod "Please stay in" she didn't finish when Jess rushed out of the room. Rick and Chida were poking their heads out of the room with Damien from that aura only to see Jess runs past them. Rick gasped "Oichi!" he was about to rush out when the door closed, his eyes widen when there was a barrier on it "What the hell?!" Rick shouted; Damien blinked "She put a barrier on the door...." Chida sighed "Looks like we are stuck in here, Mr. Greenly... I need to call my father" the teacher nodded and looked at the students "Stay calm, everyone in your seats"
In the hallway, Oichi was sweating heavily as she walked toward Makoto who had fallen to the floor. "S-Stay away from me you freak!!!" She yelled out. She held up her arms defensively. Behind Oichi Ross bit his lip. "If she draws out anymore then she might kill herself." He looks at Sakamoto and smirked. "Well, I guess I should apologize in advance. I know she's your girl and all but..." "Would you just shut up and do it already!?" Sakamoto yells. Ross chuckles and walks to Oichi. He licks his lips. 'If I do go out then I guess I can go out kissing a cutie' He was hit by the aura barrier, but he made it through. He grabbed Oichi by her waist. "Sorry, Princess. You might be out for a while after this." He turns her around and pulled her into a deep kiss just like the first time. As soon as he did the aura around Oichi begin to slowly sink more and more. Ross could feel a burning in his chest like someone was stabbing him over and over. This turned him on as he moans into the kiss, bringing her body closer to him. He placed a hand on the back of her head and tilts it deepening the kiss. If he could, he would just take her on this floor right now, but he had to make sure he drained every drop her could.
Sakamoto watches with a frown on his face. 'Just hurry up and finish. I don't know how much more I can stand...' When Ross drained as much as he could he broke the kiss and gasped. He was holding Oichi's limp body as the aura flew through his veins. He was panting as his red eyes replaced his yellow ones. He could feel his true form about to burst out. "f*ck...that's too good...I want more...I need more..." as he held Oichi he drains her more. He groans out as his eyes roll to the back of his head. "This pleasure is the bestttttt..." he means out. He then felt himself being pulled away from Oichi. He looks to see Sakamoto catch Oichi before she hit the ground. "Calm yourself demon." Ross glared at him. "Give her to me." He says struggling to get up. Sakamoto shook his head. "You drained her dry for today Ross...anymore and you could kill her..." "You think I...!" Just then his body tensed up and shut down on him and he fell to the floor unmoving. Sakamoto sighs. "Idiot..." He looks at Oichi who was out cold, but her face was twisted in pain. Yain walked toward him holding his hand. It was slowly healing from the hit Oichi gave him.
"Oh my, what is going on here." They looked back to see Crissy walking toward them. "My, it's a good thing I place a barrier over you kids or this area would have been destroyed." She looked down at Ross and Oichi. "Hmm...so that's what happened...oh well...why don't you take them to the nurses' office." She then looked at Makoto, Nyx, and Florina who had passed out from Oichi's intense aura. "Bullying again Makoto. Haven't you learned your lesson yet? It seems your father is too soft on you so I will be calling your grandfather instead." Makoto was shaking. She was staring at Oichi with fearful eyes. Sakamoto sighs and gets up with Oichi in his arms. Yain shook his hand and walked over to Florina and carefully picked her up, watching for her arm. He examined it to see if it was broken or not.
They then both looked at Ross who was face-first on the floor. "We can't just leave him here..." Sakamoto says. Just the Paxton walks up from behind Crissy. "I'll take him..." Yain frowned. You were here as well...you could have helped." Paxton picks up Ross and tosses him over the shoulder. "I'd rather not. Who knows what could happen? Only a full demon could have taken that much power and live. Plus, Ross marked it her. I don't touch his mark prizes." Sakamoto growled slightly. "She's not a prize." Crissy clapped her hands with a small. "Enough. Take them to the nurses off now." The boys nodded and walked off. Sakamoto looked down sadly at Oichi. 'So far, I'm being a crappy boyfriend. I need to protect you better than what I've been doing.'
Crissy smirks as they walked off. 'Too bad...I missed it...' She looked at Makoto who was shaking. Crissy walked over to her. "Silly girl...you truly do not know what you just unleashed but, I'm glad it happened this early." She flicked her hand up and the girls started to slightly levitate. "Well...it seems like all of you are in shock and are unable to walk. Let's head to the nurses as well and then we shall visit the principal's office." She walks to the nurse's office with the girls being pulled along with her magic. 'I need to keep an eye out on our little soul. This year will be very entertaining.'
Jess ran then stopped to see Sakamoto caring Oichi and Paxton caring Ross. Her eyes widen and rush to them "What happen?!" Sakamoto sighs. "Makoto hurt one of her friends..."
Jess bit her lip; Sakamoto can clearly tell she wants nothing more to kill his sister. A hand came on her shoulder, and she froze, Sakamoto knelled down with Oichi still in his arms. Jess sighed "did Chida call you?" "My, my what happen here? And yes, he did" it was Zach, Seth appeared behind him also. Zach could still feel some dark aura which recognized "Seth... it's her aura.... And" he looked at Paxton caring Ross "it was sucked out from son of lucifer"
Seth walked passed him and pats Sakamoto on the head. "Interesting...Take her to the nurse. I will be there shortly." Sakamoto nodded and quickly headed to the nurse with Paxton and Yain behind him. Zach smiled and petted Jess's hair "Short I see, go with them" Jess nodded and walked away "Oh, and take the barrier off, Rick and is flipping out" Jess sighs with a nod walking away.
Crissy walks up and bows slightly. She drops the girls and stands to the side. Seth behind down and grabs both Makoto and Nyx. He was about to grab their necks, but he grabbed the collar of their uniforms. "How many times must I warn you to control yourself. Makoto..." Makoto bit her lip. Seth glared at Nyx. "And you...I spared your and Lila's life in the war, allowed you to be a part of my family, and you still find ways to disrespect me. Would you like to join the grave with your dear mother and father?" Nyx tears up. "I...I'm sorry sir..." He looked at the other girls who had been around Makoto and Nyx. "Leave now." He says in a low tone. His tone alone was able to shake the girls out of their shock. They quickly got up and ran off. Seth then looks at Crissy who was smiling. He narrowed his eyes at her. "You may leave." Crissy nods and leaves with a slight smirk on her face.
Seth sighs out as he starts to drag the girls behind him. "Now to check on the pup. It would be most troubling if Ronnie comes here and learn that you are still bothering his granddaughter. He may kill you and if it wasn't for your father, I would let him." Makoto's eyes widen as she hears this. "Y-You would let that wolf kill me...Like he did with grandma huh..." Seth stops and shakes his head. "I will ignore that comment you just said to me until we get home. You are becoming a bothersome child..." Zach shook his head "I would seal her vampire powers and make her feel like a human for a while" Makoto's eyes widen "you can do that?" Zach chuckled "we are both vampire kings, we both now an ancient vampire sealing seal"
"Uncle" they look to see Kaci standing there with a blank look on his face and his wings were out. Zach sighed "Kaci your wings..." Kaci frowned "I can't always control them... they have a mind of their own, oh hello King Seth" he bowed. "Fascinating. It's a shame you have to keep such lovely wings hidden." Seth says gazing at his wings. Zach looked at him "go change and head back to class" Kaci nodded walking away.
In the nurses, Sakamoto was sitting beside Oichi holding her hand. Paxton had placed Ross down and Florina was getting her arm checked on by Aurora. Yain was sitting beside her holding his hand. It was still burned from the hit, and it was healing even slower now. He frowned and looked at Oichi. He sighed mentally.
Jess sat down "Oichi...." "JESS!" they all heard Rick yell; Jess turned to see a pissed-off Rick. Aurora stood up "brother you will not shout in my office, sit down now" Rick frowned but sat down "now stay there" she said then went back to Florina. Jess turned back to Oichi sleeping, she reached out and held her hand "Oichi..."
As soon as she touched Oichi's hand she gasps as she saw a vision like when they were younger. Again, she saw a beautiful woman sitting in a dark forest with black crows around her. She had a hood over her face, but Jess could see her wicked smile. "Ah, hello child. I believe this will be the third time we have meant...well second really." Jess's eyes widen. "Who...are you...?" The woman chuckled. "Ah, Regina hasn't spoken about me? I am quite sad about that...no matter." She lifted her hand and the crows started to flap their wings. "I am Valeriea, and I am the one who cursed your sweet pup's soul. We couldn't speak last time but hear me, little witch. This child's soul will be mine and she will die. Once her soul is mine this world be thrown into chaos. I will have my revenge on those who cursed my kind, and nothing will stop me!" she dropped her hand and the crowd flocked around Jess. Jess put her hands up to shield herself only to gasp out again as she was pushed out of Oichi's mind.
Jess's eyes widen with a gasp, dropped Oichi's hand jumping up with her hand on her with a fearful look in her eyes. Rick stood up fast and rushed to her "Jess you alright?" Jess had tears running down her face "Valeriea...." Eyes widen at what she said "She... talked to me..."
Paxton raised his eyebrow. "You spoke to the Valeriea...how..." Seth walked in, hearing the last part. "It's quite possible actually." They looked at him as he tosses Makoto and Nyx to the floor. "Jess is a very special girl so no doubt she could do it. Mainly the bond she formed with Oichi allows her to see what we cannot. Why don't you share with us what she said?" Seth says walking up to the bed Oichi was laying at.
Zach walked over "What did she say to you?" Jess frowned looking down "she was the one that cursed her body, her body and soul will be her's and the world will be thrown into chaos..." Rick rubbed her back "let's hope the magic council doesn't find out about this"
Suddenly the door opened and Chida rushed in "Dad! A couple of Magic council members are here!" Jess's eyes in panic "sh*t... someone has to call Ronnie, or they will take her...!" Seth sighs. "They sure do move fast..."
Chida was moved out of the way as two figures walked in, they were council members.
"King Zachariah, King Seth" Jess frowned "you're not taking her!" the council members looked at her "hold your tongue Regina's reincarnation, we are not taking her."
Sakamoto frowned as he held Oichi's hand tighter. "However, this is dangerous. We have no choice but to put a seal on her or the dark witch Valeriea will grow stronger" one of them said. Jess made her fist "you need Ronnie's permission to even do this" Seth shook his head. "You are moving a little too slow. I'm sure that you can tell that this is already well past your seals. I am also sure that you are aware of Valeriea's followers. They have started to gather so instead of focusing on Oichi here you need to be trying to find Valeriea's reincarnation. She is the key to all of this. Get her reincarnation then you can seal him or her until we find a way to break this curse." He looked at Ross. "...and we may have found a small solution that will keep Oichi in check. Plus, the child already has four seals on her, two from Endu, Charon, the ferryman of the underworld. Do you really think your seals can make this situation better?" The council members grit their teeth "enough vampire! Move aside!"
Seth walked over to Oichi and rubbed her head. "Not to mention, Charon doesn't like it when people overshadow his work. You might want to be careful when you die." He says chuckling. "If you still wish to go with this you are going to have to wait for Ronnie. Whether you like it or not. But I assure you that your seals will not change a thing on this."
The council member frowned at him "move aside Vampire" they took a step closer, and Jess closed her eyes "River" she said had a blue blur appeared before them. River was in front of them, she had her uniform on but her blazer, her arms were showing as blue scales appeared, River's hair was floating slightly, scales appeared around her face and her eyes turned into a slit blue form. Zach and Seth's eyes widen from feeling this rare and ancient aura "A... Dragon..."
Everyone's eyes widen, and the council member stopped in their tracks in fear "no... not possible" Jess opened her eyes "do not test me, council members, leave or my dragon will suck out your souls" River grinned with her dragon fangs showing.
The council member gulped, Jess crossed her arms "don't make me repeat myself" River did a deep dragon growl making the council member squeak and dashed out of the room. Zach grinned clapping his hands "Oh amazing! A dragon protecting the Mikcloud family! I heard the rumors throughout the millenniums of years" Seth shakes his head. "Boost their threats and runs like cowards." He rubs Oichi's head again." "Grandfather..." Sakamoto says. "I know. Do not worry. We will keep her safe."
The hours went by, and it was now lunch, Jess was sitting with Rick, Chida, and the boys with Cissy and Sarah. She hasn't even eaten her popcorn chicken. She was way too worried about Oichi, she still hasn't awakened yet. Sighing 'Oichi...'
Over at the demon table, Ross was sitting next to Damien and Paxton. Nubia wasn't even at school day. Damien looked back at Jess; he can see the worried look on her face "she's really worried about Oichi..." Ross yawn. "She will be fine. She'll wake up in about 3 to 4 days."
Jess sighs again looking down at her food until she felt something off, looking up she looked around 'what's this feeling' suddenly she can like music "Music?" the other students looked around "is someone playing music on the PDA?" Nick asked. Rick shrugged "maybe" but Jess felt something off about this "I don't... think..."
"Blah khien barrah fweelah,
blah khien aiza krum,
aloe khio bragam harah eefnell"
Her eyes widen and stood up when she could feel some magic behind these words and her necklace shined 'Cover your wears quickly!' the voice of Regina told her, Jess covered her ears
"broe floe mesing lah, breeyoolah naaadryu.
Sorin sar akhwah, roe hagroe nonestroe,"
She gasped to see everyone in the room put their heads down and students that were walking stopped in their tracks and their heads tilted down as cobwebs started to form over everybody's bodies. Her eyes widen more and turned her head with her hands still over her eyes to see a figure walking over to her singing 'she's the one that's casting this spell...?' glancing over the demons, they were caught by this spell also.
"broilin sar akhwah, mortsin danah bradeh,
broilin sar akhwah, noe-...
Weeben proe, proe sah yakmah, haryay nakhah!"
There stood not far from her wearing black skinny jeans, Black Heeled Ankle Boots, and a Long, fitted coat with an extra-large hood expanded like a majestic cobra.
The necklace around her neck glowed more 'you can uncover your ears; the spell is finished' it was Regina. Jess slowly removed her hands from her ears, looking around everybody was under this spell, Rick, Chida, Damien, everyone. Jess frowned looking back at the person in front of her "Who are... you?" the woman sighs "So your uncle didn't tell you about me..?" Jess's eyes widen slightly 'same voice.. is she...' Jess bites her lip "Darcaniea..." Darcaniea grinned "Oh so he did tell you, then you know why I'm here?" Jess gripped her fist "to kill me? Really bold of you to come here alone... you really think this will last on the demons?!" Darcaniea chuckled "Oh I know, I can see they are already starting to wake up" she pointed, Jess looked to see Damien groaning waking up, then turned back to Darcaniea "then you are coming here to kill me alone your mistake!" Jess said lifting her arm as lightning appeared around it, Darcaniea chuckled darkly "Whoever said I came here alone?" Jess's eyes widen, then felt someone appear behind her. She glanced back with fearful eyes to see Cien behind her "Cien...?" he had a dark blank look on his face.
Over back at the demon table, Damien, Ross, and Paxton were the only ones to wake up. Damien groaned "What the hell... just happen?" "I think I had enough sleep for the day..." Ross says rubbing his head.
Damien looks to see Jess standing with a cloaked woman in front of her with Cien behind Jess, his eyes then widen in shock when Cien grabbed her hair pulling her head to the side, and bite down on Jess's neck making Jess scream in pain. Jess's scream made Ross and Paxton jump slightly and looked to see the scene before them. Damien stood up "JESS!" he rushed over but Cien had let her neck go and used his speed to appear next to Darcaniea.
Jess fell back but Damien caught her "Jess?! You alright?" Jess held her neck, it was burning "my neck it's burning.... Cien why did you..." Darcaniea chuckled darkly putting her arm over his shoulder, Cien took a vial from his pocket and held up to his mouth putting Jess's blood in it from his mouth. Putting a top on it he handed it to Darcaniea who chuckled taking it "Thank you, Jessica, for the gift and for Cien" he run her fingers through his hair "he's been working for, spying on you for me" Jess's eyes widen in shock "No...." Damien growled, "Cien you are f*cken DEAD!"
Ross whistles. "I've already had a sh*tty day. The dark aura around you feels disgusting." Paxton frowned. "Ross..." "Stay back. I could really care less about what's going on, but Jess is Oichi's friend and I can't sit by and let her get hurt I suppose." Paxton sighs. "Have it your way..." Ross was already feeling weak from draining Oichi earlier so he wasn't at full strength, but he was sure he could take on a chick like that.
Suddenly Darcaniea held up her hand when a rip shield appeared in front of him making, causing him to get electric shocked with black lightning. Ross's eyes widen as he hissed out in pain. Paxton ran up to him. "Ross!" "Stay back!" Ross yelled out. Paxton frowned but did what he was told. "This is turning out to be quite a sh*tty day..."
Darcaniea chuckled snapping her fingers as a black portal appeared behind her and Cien. Jess's eyes widen "a demon portal... she opened it by herself... how was that possible she isn't a demon!" Damien growled "Cien you will pay for this!" Cien smirked darkly "sorry Damien but you will never get that chance, thanks Jess for the taste of your yummy witch blood" he chuckled as he and Darcaniea walked backward into the portal, Darcaniea chuckled "Until next time my doppelganger" the portal closed as they were fully in it. The shield disappeared around Ross. Jess held her neck in pain "Damien my neck...." Damien looked and his eyes widen, black veins started to appear "Ross! Paxton!"
"We are in earshot of you know," Ross says walking over there quickly as he brushed his uniform off. "I just got hit with lighting here." Paxton frowned. "Ross please, it's not time for joking..." Suddenly Jess's body started to jolt, Damien held her "What's happening?!" Rick and Chida started to stir "What's going on?" Rick asked, then a loud scream made him jump up. Jess was holding her neck jolting in pain "IT BURNS!!!" Rick's eyes widen "JESS! Damien what did you do to her!" Chida held her back "Brother calm down! Look around... it smells like a curse..." Rick frowned "what happened!?" Jess was still jolting in Damien's arms "Ross, you're a pure demon. You must suck the venom out of her..." Rick's eyes widen "Venom...? What happened?!"
"Just shut up for a damn second!" Ross yelled at Rick. "Damien go ahead and do it before Rick blows a cow."
Suddenly a bright light appears making Ross clover his eyes, Paxton stepped in front of him to shield him from this holy light. A figure appeared it was Gabriel, Lyle, and Marylin, he frowned looking around "Here too..." Mara's eyes widen "Uncle look!" she rushed over. Gabriel frowned walking over "Boys what happen" then his eyes widen to see Jess jolting, the bite mark on her neck reeked of a demon "Boys... who bit Jess?" Mara frowned "uncle there are black veins appearing" Lyle bites his lips and narrowed at Ross, Paxton, and Damien "you did this didn't you?!"
Ross crossed his arms. "Oh please. If I bit, her she'd be dead already. Get your head out your ass." Paxton shook his head. "None of us did this..."
Gabriel gave him that look "Not now! Mara this spell on the student body is a dark demonic sleeping spell, you and Lyle will have to chant a holy counter curse. Boys come with me to the nurse's office, most likely Aurora will be awake now. Ross and Paxton, come with me, since the curse was cast here the counter curse will be too dangerous for you two" Rick stepped over "Hand her over" Damien frowned "No, and deal with it!" he picked her up bridal style following Gabriel with Ross and Paxton behind him. Rick frowned but followed with Chida behind him. Lyle and Mara stepped into the center of the lunchroom they held hands have light arch crosses appear around them and they started to chant a holy counter curse.
Aurora frowned looking at Yain and Sakamoto there were cobwebs over them. She can smell and feel it 'a dark curse...' She looked at Oichi however, there were no cobwebs on her. Her body was slightly glowing easing out a bit of dark aura. Aurora rubbed her chin. "It must didn't have any effect on her...then again with her being cursed so many times..."
"Aurora" she turned to see Gabriel "Gabriel what happen?" then her eyes widen to see Jess in Damien's arms jolting in pain and bleeding badly "Oh my goodness! Quickly on the bed!" Damien nodded and walked over putting Jess on the bed but then was pushed back as Rick stepped in front of him sitting down and holds jess's hand.
Ross and Paxton walked in to see Sakamoto and Yain sleeping with the cobwebs over them. "Hey, can't you do that holy crap too?" "Yeah, but it makes me feel weird...plus chanting is kinda boring you know..." Ross rolled his eyes and dragged him over to Sakamoto and Yain. "Just fix them already." Paxton sighs. "Fine...but I blame you if I start feeling sick or something..." Ross placed a hand on Oichi's leg to drain more of her aura. "Can't have you acting up right now...stay sleep for a bit longer." He says.
"Paxton Don't you cousins are already doing the chant" he said as the wall's started to glow white, Ross felt a slight burn "sh*t..." suddenly black wings cover Ross, everyone blinked to see Kaci "you alright Ross?" "Man, I hate this holy stuff...thanks for the cover." Ross says sighing. "What did you think was going to happen when I did my chant." Paxton says chuckling.
Aurora was looking at Jess's next "oh my god this is not good...!" she rushed to the back wall where a hand scanning device was on it. Putting her hand on it, it scanned her hand "Authorized confirmed, Princess Aurora Crimson Meyers" the wall opened. It showed large shelving with potions. Gabriel blinked "Wow they allowed you to have these potions?" Aurora nodded "Yes, I only have to use them in case of emergencies and trust me this is one" she reached up and took a potion bottle from the shelves. It was a small cork bottle with a glowing light blue liquid. Rushing back to Jess, Aurora opened it "Alright Rick, Damien hold her down" Rick nodded holding her down, Damien walked over to Jess's other side holding her down. Aurora poured the potion on Jess's neck making her eyes shut open and screaming in pain "AHHHHH!!!!!" "It's alright Jess! I know it's gonna hurt!" Aurora said pouring the rest on her neck. Her neck bubbled up slightly, the bite mark on her was vanishing. "There you go Jess, all healed" Jess was panting unable to answer, "What about the venom?" Damien asked, Aurora nodded "It's gone too" Gabriel looked amazed at this "is that potion... made from the fountain of youth?" Aurora nodded "yes" she walked back to the open wall.
Rick smoothed Jess "Hey love you alright?" Jess smiled panting "I'm tired...." Rick nodded kissing her forehead "Sleep" Jess closes her eyes falling asleep. River appeared in the room with a frown on her face "right when I had to leave this happens.... Your uncle wants her home..." Rick frowned "who called him?" River sighed "I did when I came back to the school to see two angels chanting a counter curse, pick her up we are leaving" Rick sighed put picked her up gentle "aurora I got to take her home" Aurora nodded "Go on" Rick walked out with River and Chida. Damien sighed "I hope that magic council doesn't come back..." Kaci moved away "Sister, it's time for my pill" Aurora nodded "Of course, come here and take it" Kaci walked over to her.
Ross cracked his neck. "Sheesh, it's been one hell of a day. Can we all just go home for the day or something?" Paxton sighs. "You are to relax about this..." Ross shrugs. "Gotta be when stuff like this happens."
In the hotel room, Darcaniea stood in front of the cauldron, Cien was standing next to her. Darcaniea had the vial of Jess's blood in her hands. Pouring jess's blood in the cauldron it bubbled up and Darcaniea stirred it. It glowed "It's finished, now I drink it and the link between me, and Jess will be broken, and I can personally kill her!" she chuckled pouring the potion in a glass, then drinking it. Cien watched as her body glowed, he smiled "Darcaniea it's working" Darcaniea smirked darkly "Finally..." then she started to laugh maniacally.
As the days passed it was now Saturday. Oichi was sitting on the bed in her nightgown. She had been out for the past four days and just woke up last night. Sakamoto had filled her in about what happened to Jess. He didn't know much but Ross had filled in what he didn't know. Oichi sighs as she leans back on her pillow. "What a sh*tty week..." The bathroom door opened, and Sakamoto walked out with a towel around his waist. He had another towel drying his hair. Oichi's eyes widen, and her face went red as she looked at Sakamoto's body up and down. Sakamoto chuckled as he caught her staring. "See something you like?" Oichi rubbed her cheeks and turned away. "S-Shut up." He laughed and sat on the bed. "It's not like it's your first time seeing me this way." He grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest and rubbed it down further. Oichi tensed up as her heart started to beat faster. She then pulled her hand away. "I...should start getting dressed!" She says rushing around the room. Sakamoto chuckled more.
Downstairs Danni was at the table talking with Samuel and Yain. "You think Dante was right about not letting Oichi come back?" Yain nodded. "I do...but that doesn't mean that she should leave. If Lady Oichi is happy here no matter how hard it is then that's how it will be." Danni sighs. "I'm not going to lie and say I don't understand but Oichi has stood up to bullies, made more friends, and even has a boyfriend now. Yes, she's having some rough times but, I think she will overcome it with our help." Danni picked up her cup of tea. "Oichi is going to have to start learning about the real world. Keeping her locked up in some hut is not going to do anything for her. She even has a dream now. To be a fashion designer. How cute is that? As her mother, I am going to support her and her dreams no matter what they are and expect you two to do the same okay?" Samuel and Yain nodded. Yain then sighs mentally. "But...what of your father lady Danni? He plans on training Lady Oichi to take the throne one day. That is why he is throwing her a coronation in December." Danni frowned. "I hate that as well but there is little, I can do about that. However, father isn't too keen on pushing someone into his spot. I mean hell, none of my siblings wanted the throne and he didn't through a fit. I'm sure if Oichi doesn't want it then he will find someone else who will take it." Yain nods and then gets up. "I will go check on Lady Oichi and Sakamoto. They have a date to get ready for." Danni nodded as he walked away.
Rick lay on his bed in his boxers, Jess has been staying at his house for a week. Hearing his door open, then closed he turned to see Jess walk over with a towel around her, her hair was wet. Smirking, he got up and stepped toward her wrapping his arms around her, her face turned red "Rick what are you doing?" Rick chuckled "your fault you walked in with just a towel and wet hair" he leaned down kissing her neck. She shivered in pleasure "Rick... please not now" Rick chuckled kissing more of her shoulder as his hands moved down cupping jess's butt from under her towel making her gasp a moan "Rick..." her towel fell leaving her naked, she was suddenly on the bed on her back with him hovering over her "I can't stop" Jess flushed more and smiled "I know" he leaned down with a chuckle kissing her deeply.
Downstairs in Zach's study, Zach and Seth sat on the two chairs as Jetter paced back in forth "How can you let this happen?!" he turned to River who was knelled down "forgive me my lord but you had me to leave the school that, you shouldn't have made me leave" Jetter sighed "So what exactly happen?" Zach took a drink of his Rum that was mixed with blood "According to the boys, Darcaniea appeared and had a demon to get close to Jess. Darcaniea cast that dark demonic sleeping curse on the whole school, after the right moment that demon boy bites jess on the neck taking her blood" Jetter's eyes widen "taking her blood....?" Zach nodded.
Jetter thought for a moment then his eyes widen more "the blood.... This all fits.... When I tried to seal her that night... there was a small connection making her not be able to harm or kill Jess... taking her blood, she can do a blood ritual to break the curse.... She can come at any day and kill her" Zach frowned "why is it that both the girls have a dark witch after them...?" "In any case, we need to be better prepared for the worst and take better measurements at the school and town. I'm sure there is something you can do for your nieces' situation but if Oichi is taken then we will have a very chaotic time on our hands."
Now, Downstairs, Oichi was putting her hair in a ponytail she had a mad blush on her face. Yain had walked in on her and Sakamoto making out. She was wearing a gray batman shirt with black pants and shoes. She had a black jacket in her arms and a batman bag on her back. Sakamoto came downstairs wearing a light blue fitted shirt with blue and white jeans and black shoes. He was wearing a jean jacket and frowning at Yain. "Don't know how to knock?" Yain ignored him. "Next time lock the door." Sakamoto rolled his eyes and grabbed his keys. "Just for you to knock it down?" Yain crossed his arms. "If I have to. Yes." "Then that defeats the purpose of locking the door." Danni giggled from the kitchen. "You three should get going. Make sure you get something cute!" Oichi nodded. "Okay, mama!" Sakamoto grabbed her hand and the keys. "Bye Mama!" Oichi says waving. "Have fun sweetie!" Danni says waving back.
It didn't take them long to get to the mall. Once there Oichi and Sakamoto had gone to the salon and Barbershop that was next to the entrance. While they waited Oichi was looking at some hairstyles for the men. "Ooo Meito you should get this." Sakamoto blushed at her nickname for him. Meito was another word for a mate. He wasn't sure where she got it from, but he couldn't say no to her when he called her that. He looked at the hairstyle and frowned. "You want me to get a haircut!?" Oichi giggled. "I know you love your hair but, you should try something new, and it's not like your hair will grow back out quick." Sakamoto ran his hand through his long white hair. "I thought you loved my hair." "I do but this would look so cute on you! Tell you what you can pick one out for me. Long, short, medium, and style or color. Sakamoto smirked. "Alright, I already have one for you and your hair is going to stay long maybe above your back area though." Oichi smiled. "Okay! I can't wait to see you in your hairstyle. Then a little shopping and then Chinese food!" She says leaning on him. Sakamoto chuckled and kissed her forehead.
Jess laid on the bed panting, she had the sheet over her naked sore body. Rick had stood up putting his boxers back then went back to laying down, Jess turned and snuggled into Rick. Rick smiled "you alright...? I didn't hurt you?"
Jess smiled snuggling more "a little but I'm alright now" Rick chuckled kissing her forehead "so how was our first time?" Jess flushed "It was amazing... is my shoulder still bleeding?" he looked at his bite mark, it wasn't bleeding at all "No your good, I see why they say a witch's blood is like heroin to vampires, demons, and werewolves" Jess flushed "Shut up" Rick chuckled.
Sakamoto and Oichi came out of the shop together holding hands. Yain had left to go pick something up for Danni. Oichi now had purple and blue ombre color hair. It was curly and went down just to above her back. Sakamoto on the other hand had gotten a haircut very short and had it dyed red. Oichi giggled and wrapped her arm around his. "I knew! You look so cute!" Sakamoto blushed. "I...I guess so...my neck is a bit cold so it might take some time to get used to." Oichi smiled. "I like my hairstyle and the colors are so pretty!" Sakamoto chuckled and rubbed his head. "So, what store do you want to go to first?" "Um...I don't know. Let's just walk around for now?" Sakamoto smiled and nodded and hand in hand they walked. It was a slow day at the mall so not many people were there. "Oh! We should go to the costume store! So, we can get an idea of what we are going to wear." Sakamoto nodded. "Yeah. I agree."
"Hello Oichi" They turned to see a girl who looked identical to Jess, but with black hair and red eyes. Wearing a gothic top, red skinny jeans, and black studded heeled boots. She had a necklace on that was slightly glowing. She is smiling darkly at Oichi. Oichi frowned as Sakamoto placed a protective arm in front of Oichi. "Who are you."
Darcaniea put her hand up making Sakamoto get an electric shock from her black lightning, he gasped falling down Oichi's eyes widen "Sakamoto!" Darcaniea chuckled "when I come for Jess, I'm gonna make you watch as I kill her" darkness formed around her, and she was gone. Oichi frowned until she felt a pain in her chest. "Ah..." Sakamoto recovering from the shock grabbed her. "Oichi..." Oichi clung to him as her chest started to burn more like it was trying to forcibly pull something in. "M-My chest..." Sakamoto frowned as Oichi took deep breaths. Sakamoto hugged her. "Calm down. It's okay. It's okay..."
Zach knocked on Rick's door "Come in" he heard his son's voice, opening the door he walked in to see Jess just got done putting her black canvas galaxy converse on over her ankle black socks. She was also wearing a Guardians of The Galaxy- Awesome Mix Tape Tank top and Empyre Galaxy Black Denim Shorts. Rick stepped over wearing black and red led zeppelin sh*t, black men's skinny jeans, and black converse "Father what's up?" Zach raised his eyebrow, taking a small sniff he smirked "so how was it" Jess's eyes widen turning red. Rick sighed "Father... don't be creepy and ask that!" Zach laughed "Anyways, you two heading out?" Rick nodded "Yes, going to the Red Dragon" Zach chuckled "Alright" he turned and left the room. Rick sighed "Sorry about that love" he kissed her Jess giggled and kissed him back, then hearing the key flying towards him, he caught them "Take the Lamborghini" Rick's eyes widen "No are you kidding?" Zach smirked and left. Rick grinned "Sweet come on" Jess giggled as they both left the room.
At the mall, Oichi was sitting down holding her head. Sakamoto and Yain were talking about what just happened. "A girl who looked like Jess?" Sakamoto nodded. "Then her chest started to hurt. I think it's the curse mark..." "Which one?" Sakamoto hums out. "I don't think Ross's mark does anything other than mark her, like pour his scent out when she's around demons. It could be either Valeriea's or Endu's. They both can drain dark magic to make itself stronger." Yain sighs. "This is just great. She can't even enjoy a day out without something happening." Sakamoto closed his eyes. "What do we do? I can contact my grandfather but I'm not sure what he could do right now." "Call him later right now let's try to take this event out of Lady Oichi's mind." They turned around to see Oichi almost in tears. Sakamoto walked over to her and bends down, lifting her chin up. He smiled. "...Ichi..." Oichi's eyes widen slightly, and she looked up at him. "I figured if you gave me a nickname then I should give you one too. How about we finish up our shopping and then go eat." Oichi sniffed and smiles slightly. He kissed her lips softly. "Everything will be okay. I promise you." Oichi nodded as he got up. He reached out his hand and pulled her up. Oichi wraps her arm around his as they started to walk to the next store.
Rick was driving his dad's Lamborghini down the street, Jess looked down at her phone and was texting Oichi 'Hey sis! Me and Rick are heading to the Red Dragon, lets's meet up and have some Chinese?' she sent it, Rick slowed down and parked the car. "We are here" Jess smiled and got out, Rick got out and locked the car. Both holding hands walked to a stone building with a black sign that had red lettering 'The Red Dragon' they both walked up to the doors opening it, stepping inside that place was amazing. The restaurant was divided into two with the red-lit 160-seat lounge, with a bar in the middle that had a hanging red dragon that circled the bar. The restaurant had a black, wooded, and red color theme. Ling, who was at the front desk, smiled "Oh Jess! Welcome, you are coming for dinner?" Jess smiled "Yes Mrs. Cho" Link chuckled "Booth?" Rick nodded "Yeah" "Oh good, right this way, follow me" she grabbed two menus and walked them don't the booths and picked the one that was in the back "Here you are" Jess and Rick both slid into the right "Thank you, We are expecting two friends to join us" Ling chuckled "Oh of course, please take your time" she handed them the menu's and walked away.
At the mall, Oichi was back to her happy self as Yain carried bags of fabric that she brought. She and Sakamoto also decided to do a steampunk theme for the Halloween party so they had to pick out something that would fit the customs she was making. Sakamoto was holding bags full of things for the bedroom, some clothes for him, and something for Victoria's secrets that Oichi was unaware of. Oichi had gotten the text from Jess about Chinese Food and sent her back a text that they were on the way. "Time to eat! I'm so hungry!" She says giggling. Sakamoto chuckled. "Then let's go." "I will head back to the house." Oichi stopped and turned to him. "Your...leaving?" "I have more errands to run for your mother and I have to do something for your grandfather. Such as collecting some rare gems of some sort." Oichi frowned. "But...you've always come around with me. It feels weird without having you around to watch my back." Yain bows slightly. "I am sorry Lady Oichi, but you have Sakamoto now. I'm sure he can protect you for about two days until you come back home. I promise to be back as soon as I can." Oichi nodded and sighs out. "Okay...well just be careful okay." Yain nods and takes the bags from Sakamoto. "I will see you soon." He says before walking off.
Oichi waves at him before sighing sadly. "Are you trying to make me jealous?" Sakamoto says pouting. Oichi looked at him and giggled. "No." She hugged him. "It's just that...Yain has been with me for a long time, and he's always been there. It's weird to not...know he's there...but he's right. I have you now so I should be happy that we can..." She blushed. "Finally have some alone time when we get back home...you know..." Sakamoto chuckled and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. "Agreed. I do love kissing you without Yain bursting through the door." They both laughed and walked out of the mall hand in hand, heading to the Chinese restaurant.
Jess and Rick had ordered two dr. pepper cherry's waiting for Oichi and Sakamoto. Jess looked at the bar area and see's 'now hiring' "Rick they are hiring" Rick turned and looked "they?" Jess nodded sliding out "I'll be right back" Rick blinked at her "alright" he said looking back at his phone. Jess walked over to the bar "Hey Lee!"
Lee looked at her and smiled "AH Jess what's up?" Jess smiled "Can I have an application?" Lee's eyes widen "really?" Jess nodded, he smiled and bent down only to move back up "Here fill out" Jess smiled taking it and headed back to her table. Reaching the table, she slid back in, Rick looked, and he looked surprised "a job application...? Can we even work while in school?" Jess nodded "Yeah, it says we can in the school's handbook" Rick chuckled "I think you should" Jess giggled and started to fill it out.
Oichi was humming as she played in Sakamoto's hair as he drove. "You know my hair is kind of sensitive so unless you want me to walk in this place with a nice hard on you should stop." Oichi blushed and removed her hand. "S-Sorry." Sakamoto chuckled. "So how much do you plan to eat?" "A lot! Like a whole menu a lot!" Sakamoto laughed. "My little glutton princess. I'll pay for you to eat until your adorable tummy pop." Oichi giggled.
Soon they pulled up to the spot and got out. Holding hands, they walked in and headed to the front desk. "Hi! I think our friends are here. Jess and Rick?" Ling smiled and grabbed two menus. "They are this way follow me please." Oichi nodded as they followed them. She smiled as she saw Jess and Rick. "Jess!!" She giggled as they reached the table. he smiled as she saw Jess and Rick. "Jess!!" She giggled as they reached the table. Jess smiled brightly "Oichi!" Rick smiled "Yo"
"Look! I got Sakamoto to change his hair color and get it cut!" Sakamoto blushed. "I-It's not a big deal..." He says sitting down. Oichi sat beside him. "Aw, I think you look so cute!" She ran her fingers through his hair. "It matches your grandpa in color if you think about it." Sakamoto's face went even redder, making Oichi laugh. "So cute!" She leans on his shoulder. Jess giggled "You look so adorable Oichi, and you look very handsome Sakamoto" Rick frowned "What about me...?" he pouted, and Jess giggled and kissed his cheek "drop dead gorgeously handsome" Rick grinned and kissed her cheek back. Jess went back to filling her paper. Oichi chuckled and then smelled something coming from Jess. Sakamoto knew right away, he could tell they were both glowing with that aura, Jess was glowing more"
Sakamoto chuckled. "Ah, young love at its finest. Seems like you two have finally joined together as one, eh?" Rick almost spit out of his drink and end up coughing, Jess's face was red as her hair.
Sakamoto laughed slightly. "It's about time is all I'm saying." Oichi's face was slightly red making him chuckle. "Don't worry hun, when you're ready, despite what our grandfathers say, I'll make you glow just as brightly as Jess. Maybe even more." Oichi's face went redder unable to even mutter a word to him.
Jess felt her heart pounding "What the hell Sakamoto?" Rick sighed but grinned "yes we have bonded fully, it was so passionate even when I sucked on her shoulder" Jess put her head on the table "Oh god..."
Sakamoto laughed. "Open as always I see." Ling appeared "Ready to order?" Rick chuckled "big family order of teriyaki beef sticks, a large order of beef shop Suey, and a large order of pork fried rice" Ling smiled writing it down then looked at Sakamoto and Oichi. Sakamoto smiled. "This might seem weird, but can you bring us the entire menu?" Oichi's eyes sparkled. "T-The whole menu!?!?" She says excitedly. Ling's eyes widen. "The whole menu?" Sakamoto nodded. "Yes please, trust me my girlfriend will eat it so many make it double on that." He says smiling. Ling's eyes widen in surprise "everyone....?" Jess shook her head "Sakamoto not everything...."
"Everything. I'll pay and tip." He says smiling. Ling bowed "Of course...." She rushed away shouting in Chinese to the back. Jess sighed "Really the whole menu?" Oichi pouted. "YES! The whole menu!!!" Oichi says with excited eyes. "You don't understand what a treat this is for me! I get to eat the entire menu of Chinese food!!!!" Oichi's eyes sparkled more. "I love you!!!!" She says hugging Sakamoto. "I love you to." Sakamoto says smiling. "Food keeps you happy and you keep me happy." He says kissing her.
An hour went by and Oichi was scarfing down the food Sakamoto ordered for Oichi. Jess just finished her serving of the food. Rick took a sip of his drink when he noticed his cousin Kaci walking over "Kaci" he said making Jess, Sakamoto, and Oichi who had puff cheeks full of food see him stopping at their table. He was wearing a black shirt with a white graphic wolf and skull. Men's black skinny jeans with twill and pleather accents and black skinny jeans. On the back of his right forearm was a new tattoo, it was a unique tattoo with markings like it was a seal.
Rick blinked "Kaci... that seal tattoo on your arm?" Jess blinked at it "It's pretty..." Kaci lifted his arm "Oh this... mother put it on me... since the school kept calling uncle about my wings... so I have this seal on me to control my wings..." Rick can see he was upset about it, he sighed "Kaci I know you hate it but at least your wings won't pop out every time in classes" Kaci sighs with a nod "Can I sit with you?" Jess giggled "Sure" Kaci slid in next to Jess "has anyone seen Ross...?" Kaci asked with a hidden flush on his face.
Sakamoto sighs as he fed Oichi a piece of chicken. "Don't worry, as soon as he gets hungry, he will come find Oichi..." Oichi giggled. "At least he doesn't kiss me anymore so you should be happy about that." "Even so... it's annoying..." Sakamoto says sighing. Jess and Rick nodded "very" Kaci reached out taking a spoon full of fried rice.
In a penthouse, Lucifer sat in a leather chair with his back turned, with a drink in his hands, Astaroth was kneeling in front of him. She was wearing a black zipped bondage dress and black heels. Taking a sip of his drink he sighs out. "To be brought out into this mortal world because of something like this. It's tactful and tiring." He leans back in his chair and looks at Astaroth. "So...You want me to forgive your son?" He chuckles. "Do you have any idea what he has done? He attacked a Mikcloud witch... Lord Jetter is not happy one bit and neither am I. The underworld realms have been under the truce with Mikcloud since the time of Regina Mikcloud. Not to mention the help a dark witch hurt my son. MY son!" He gripped his glass so hard that it shattered into pieces. "There is a reason why I have rules, no demons are allowed to be allied with dark witches after what happened with Valeriea!" Astaroth knelled more down to the floor "Please my lord! Please he's only a child!" She shook as she felt a dark and deadly aura rise around him. He made the air nearly unreachable, like a knife being twisted in your gut. "I will hear NO excuses!! He's well almost 500 years old! He should know better! When we find your son, he will go on demon trail" Astaroth teared "My lord please... he's my only son...." Lucifer growled standing up still with his back turned. "Just like his father! He got himself dragged into dark witches and it got him killed! Astaroth there will be no forgiveness nor no mercy your Son will pay for what he did now leave my sight at once..."
Astaroth rose without a sound and quickly left. Lucifer sighs and he heard the door shut. "You can come out of hiding now..." He heard a chuckle as Ross appeared. "Aw, dad...I didn't think you can so much about me." "Silence your tongue boy. Any demon foolish enough to side with a dark witch is an enemy. Nonetheless, it's a shame that boy couldn't keep his senses together." Ross rolls his eyes. "I only came to see if you would forgive him or not. Now that I have my answers, I'm heading out to find my princess." "Yes, well speaking of princess...I think I'll go see mine too..." he said with a smirk on his face. Ross chuckled. "I heard she opened a bar and restaurant around here." "Is that so. Then I need to look my best for her. Also, since you're going out taking your sister." Ross frowns. "What for? And you mean half-sister..." "Doesn't matter. Your mother keeps complaining about how you don't spend time with her, and her nagging is annoying me so just take her out for the day. It's not like you're going to do anything else." Ross groans out. "Fine whatever but if she goes missing it's on you and her." He says walking off. Lucifer chuckled. "Now...what to wear..."
After eating, Rick and Sakamoto paid together splitting it in two. Jess and Oichi were outside waiting for them. Oichi was cracking her fortune cookie, opening she looked at the piece of paper in it. 'The scariest monsters are the ones lurking in your soul.' Oichi frowned as she rubbed her chest. 'My soul...'
Jess opened her's and read her fortune, she frowned when she sees it 'Darkness will come for you' biting her lip and crumpling it up and putting it in her pocket, smiling "So Oichi what did yours say?"
Oichi sighs. "Nothing I haven't heard already." Rick and Sakamoto stepped out "So where to next?" Rick asked Jess thought then she smiled "The comic store, come on Oichi you will love it! It's right down the street!" Rick chuckled "We haven't been there in a while"
Sakamoto lifted his hand out to Oichi. "You, okay?" He asked with a worried tone. Oichi smiled. "I'm good. Just letting the food settle." Sakamoto kissed the back of her hand. "Alright. Let's go to this comic store. You might something you like." Oichi smiled and nodded. "Okay! Can't wait."
Reaching the comic store, in the windows were superhero pinups. Jess opened the door, she stepped inside with Oichi and the boys behind her. The comic store was a geek's dream. Jess smiled "still the same" Rick chuckled "Yeah" Jess pulled Oichi by the DC comic section, and she gasped making Oichi jump "The new Harley Quinn comic! Awesome!" she reached out taking it. Rick chuckled and was checking out the hell boy comic. Kaci followed them stepped over to the arcade machine, asteroids, and started to play.
Sakamoto walked over to Oichi and snatched her away from a giggly Jess. He took her over to the clothing section. "Maybe you can find something to inspire you in here." Oichi smiled. "HeeHee I do have a lot of ideas already for our costumes." "It doesn't hurt to have..." He looked up and frowned. "Sakamoto? What's wrong..." She turned around and saw Paxton reading a comic book. "Paxton? What are you doing here?" Oichi asked. Paxton looked up and walked over to them. Before he could say something, Oichi's vision started to fade. Sakamoto caught her as she started to fall back. "Well...I was going to say that Ross wanted me to meet him here for some reason...think I know why..." Sakamoto sighs as he pulls Oichi close to him. They heard chuckling and turned to see Ross wearing a black shirt, pants, and shoes with a gray open jacket. He licked his lips. "Sorry I couldn't help myself." Sakamoto shook his head as Oichi recovered. "I see Ross is here." She says rubbing her head. Ross smiles. "You should know I can't stay away from you..." He then frowned and sighed. "Would you stop clinging to me? It's hard for me to walk you know." "Who are you talking to?" Sakamoto says. Ross stood to the side, and they saw a cute little girl with yellow eyes and long black hair. She was wearing a denim floral dress with a light jacket on and black flats. She had her head looking down.
Oichi's eyes widen. "Who is this?" She asked. Ross put his hands in his pocket. "This is my little sister Marie. Half-sister really..." He says. Oichi's eyes lit up. "I didn't know you have a sister! She's so cute!!!" Oichi says cupping her hands together. Marie looked up at her with a slight blush on her face. Oichi walked up to her. "Hi! I'm Oichi! Can I hug you!?" She looked at Ross. "I can hug her right!?" Ross raised his eyebrow. "Yeah, she can't drain you or anything." Oichi giggled and snuggled Marie. "So cute!! She's adorable!" Marie's face was glowing red. Ross rubbed his head. "You never hugged me like that, and I think I'm freaking hot you know." Oichi rolled her eyes. "Being hot and being cute are two different things." "Um..." Oichi looked down at Marie who was still blushing. "...H-Hi..." She says shyly. Oichi ended up snuggling her some more. "This can't be your sister Ross! Look how timid and cute she is!" Oichi says giggling. Ross pouted slightly. "I can be timid and cute to..." He says grumbling.
"Hello Ross" he turned to see Jess, Jess saw Marie, and her eyes widen "Awww is this your little sister?! She's so adorable" rick next to her hummed going through another rack of comics.
Oichi just couldn't let Marie go and it look like Marie was melting into her snuggle attack. Ross felt a poke up his arm, turning to see Kaci. Then he felt a dark seal on Kaci, Kaci can tell Ross was scanning him. Ross grabbed Kaci's arm gently lifting it up "Why do you have a fallen seal on you?" Kaci frowned looking away "Mother put it on me... the school kept complaining about my wings... they have a mind of their own... and pop out at any time... so mom put this sealing tattoo on me..." Paxton can tell it's a rare type of sealing marking that can never be removed unless the arm was cut off or the seal markings are scratched off but hurting the person, they have it on. Ross sighs and lets go of his arm. "Well, that sucks. Your wings are pretty dope. Too bad, they have to be sealed away." Kaci was trying to hide a flush "Y-yeah... at least Dustin can control his wings... I never could..."
Ross walked up to Oichi and pulled her away from Marie. "Hey! I wasn't done snuggling that ball of cuteness!" Oichi says. "Well, I'm going to be around you for most of the day so you can have your fill but first let me eat a bit." Sakamoto frowned. "I wish you would stop saying it like that." Ross hugged Oichi and placed his head on her head slowly draining her but not so much to make her tired. "Calm down Saki. I know the limit. Only a little here and there. Your grandfather and her grandfather made it pretty clear to me." "Stop calling me that or should I refer to your real name." Ross frowned. "Can't take a joke as always, I see..." He lets go of Oichi and shivers. "Haaa...that feels much better." Oichi brushed herself off. Marie walked up to her and hugged her slightly. "Your warm..." Oichi had hearts in her eyes as she snuggled Marie more. "So cute!!!!" Sakamoto chuckled at her. Jess smiled and walked away to look at the figures, Rick followed. Reaching the area, she smiled to see many figures. She gasped softly when she saw a figure, 'DC Collectibles Harley Quinn by Jae Lee Statue Red Resin Statue!!' skipping over to it "Oh my god... amazing..." Rick smirked, "oh much is it?" Jess blinked and looked, her eyes widening "59...." Rick chuckled and turned "Hey Mikey!" Mikey is Rick's friend that works here. He was currently working for the day. He looked at Rick "What's up Rick?" Rick smirked "The Harley Quinn statue, I would like to get it" Jess's eyes widen "Wait, Rick, you don't have to..." Rick chuckled "don't be silly, consider it as a part of your birthday present" Oichi's eyes widen "Wait! When is your birthday?" Jess smiled "Halloween day, October 31st"
Oichi frowned as she held Maire. "And why am I now just finding out about it!" She pouted as she snuggled Maire. Jess frowned "I'm sorry... I forgot to tell you..."
Maire looked up at Oichi. "Mine is on February 14th." Oichi smiled widens. "On Valentine's Day! That's adorable!" Ross rolls his eyes. "Big deal. Can we go somewhere else other than this store? I don't understand what you guys like so much about this crap." He says poking a plush toy. "Then again, this town is dead there aren't many other places to go. Ugh...Oichi let's go back to your place." Oichi frowned. "Uh no..." "Why not? You got a ps4 that hasn't even been touched from what Yain says." "I don't play games like that. I watch movies and stuff on them...that's about it." "Oh my Gosh. My princess doesn't play video games. What has this world come to." Oichi shook her head. "You can always leave Ross but let Maire stay. I have gifts that I have to shop for now and her name is on the list!" Maire lets out a giggle. Ross rubs his head and then sent a glare to Sakamoto. "What have you done to my sweet innocent Princess?? Any other day she wouldn't talk back to me like this!?" Sakamoto smirked. "I don't know what you're talking about. She eventually had to grow a backbone against you."
Not far from them, Kaci was frowning and looked away. Paxton can see it clearly of Kaci's feelings. Kaci turning walked right out of the store. Rick out at the counter paid for Jess's gift, Jess was looking around "Where's Kaci? I got this awesome black dragon statue from dragon ball Z"
Ross looked around. "Looks like he left. Lucky guy." Paxton shook his head and grabbed another comic book to read. "Aw, he didn't say goodbye...maybe he had something to do." Oichi says wondering.
Sakamoto was coming back with a bag in his hand. "Who knows anyways did you see anything you wanted in here?" Oichi shook her head. "No, not really...it's a nice store though." Sakamoto pats her head. "Do you want to do anything else while we are out?" Oichi hums out. "I do need to go look for some herbs for mama out in the forest later, but other than that not really. We shopped, ate some yummy food, and got a look at a good comic store. It's been a good day you know." She says smiling. Marie's eyes widen at Oichi's smile. It was her turn for her eyes to sparkle. She clung to Oichi tighter.
Jess chuckled "Then you need to go to the 'Ravenswood Market'" Rick nodded "even though there is a Walmart not far, but the market is the best place because it has better prices and even better meat and herbs all their herbs are fresh, even Mr. Evan's prefer the market than Walmart when it comes to food"
"We can tag along but the herbs I need are in the forest. Or rather the one she wants is in the forest. It's best I get them before dark or it's going to be a hassle." Oichi says sighing. Sakamoto chuckle. "Don't worry we will get them on our way home."
They walked out of the store to see Kaci standing there, he had his head down hiding his face. Jess blinked "Oh there you are Kaci! Did you need fresh air?" Kaci looked up masking everything, he nodded with that blank face of his "Waiting for my brother..." suddenly a sound of flapping then Dustin landed next to them with his silver-white wings that matches his hair. Jess smiled "Dustin!"
Oichi looked at the bag behind held by Sakamoto. "What did you get?" Sakamoto winked at her. "It's a secret." Oichi pouted until she felt Marie grab her hand. "I can come with you?" Oichi smiled and nodded. "Of course! You can come with me whenever you want. Just tell your big brother to bring you, okay?" Marie smiled. "Thank you!"
Jess looked at Kaci and frowned, she can tell something was bothering him, looking back at Oichi "Oichi, why don't you and Sakamoto go." She took Rick's hand "me and him are gonna walk to the dairy queen" Oichi blinked "What is this dairy queen?" Jess chuckled "It's an ice cream shop and I don't know if you can eat any... it is all dairy..." Rick blinked "Dairy queen has a dairy-free menu, Jess..." Jess elbowed him, making Sakamoto blink at them but he got Jess's message. He chuckled "Come on Oichi and Marie"
Oichi shrugs. "Mk, well see you guys later." She and Marie giggled as they walked to Sakamoto's care with Ross and Paxton following them.
Jess giggled waving at them "Have fun!" Rick waved also" as they got far enough, Jess turned to Kaci and Dustin. Dustin had his wings back in. Jess stepped over to Kaci and held up the black dragon she got him "Here" Kaci blinked taking it "Thank you" Jess chuckled "you are welcome, Kaci! So, what's bothering you?" Kaci then frowned rare of him to show it "I don't know what's wrong with me...." Dustin rubbed his back "He's falling for someone" Jess's and Rick's eyes widen. "No way who?!" Jess sounded shocked but excited to know. Kaci flushed "R-Ross...." Rick sucked in a shock.
Reaching the car, Marie got in the back seat of Sakamoto's car. "So where are we going again?" Ross asks. "To the forest." "Like...legit into the forest?" Oichi nodded. "Yup! Don't worry it won't be long. Then after yes, you can come back to the house." Ross smiled. "Sweet! Let's do this then!" Paxton joins Ross in his car, and they followed behind Sakamoto.
In the car with Ross, Paxton was looking out the window. "Hey, Ross...you ever think you will find love or something?" Ross raised his eyebrow. "Love? Na. Why you wanna love me or something? I don't think you would last with me. At least in this time anyways. Your such a softie now." Paxton chuckles. "It was fun back in those days..." "Why do you ask such a weird question? You got a crush on someone?" "No, I was just wondering. You and Damien are weird. You both cling to girls who are already clearly taken." Ross frowned. "Hey, don't compare me to him. I don't want Oichi in that sense. I just want to drain every drop of that amazing dark aura inside her. Sakamoto can have her physically." Paxton frowned. "You say that now, but we will see, I guess. All I'm saying is that maybe you should learn to be aware of everyone's feelings." Ross rolled his eyes. "I'm a demon. If I started being aware of feelings here and there, then I'll get soft. My father already thinks I'm spending too much time on earth. Don't give him a reason to make me go back." Paxton sighs. "You are an idiot...but fine I'll drop it for now. No point of making you understand until you see it for yourself, I guess." Ross growls out. "Are you trying to piss me off or something?" Paxton said nothing as they drove.
Reaching the edge of the town, Sakamoto and Ross parked in an empty parking lot. Oichi got out with Marie. Sakamoto grabbed her bag out of the backseat. "All we need is a few and we can leave. I'll make it quick." Ross looked around. "So where are we going?" Oichi pointed to an opening that led deep into the forest. They followed Oichi through the path. Oichi and Marie held hands as they walked in front. Sakamoto walked behind her while Ross and Paxton. "Not gonna lie it is pretty peaceful out here." Ross says. Oichi giggled. "I know. That's why I like coming here. Oh! We should have a picnic out here one day! With everyone you know!" Oichi says excitedly. "That would be nice." Paxton says. As they walked to a clearing they stopped as they saw a young girl sitting in the middle of a large field. "Who is that?" Ross says. The girl looked at them and her eyes landed on Oichi. She smiled and got up. "Oichi!! You finally came back!" She ran to her and tackled her into a hug. Sakamoto frowned. "Hey! Who are you and why do you know Oichi?" Oichi blinks as she looks at the girl. Suddenly she remembered. "Alexius!!" She hugged her back. "Oh wow! I can't believe I almost forgot about you! How have you been!?" Alexius smiled. "Same old same old, home school sucks." She says giggling.
Oichi hugged her again and then turned to Sakamoto and the others. "Everyone this is Alexius! I met her with Yain a while back. She lives here in the forest with her parents. She also helped me look for herbs and stuff." Ross crossed his arms. "How come you never mentioned her before?" Oichi rubbed her head. "Well, a lot of stuff has happened you know...and it's been a while since I came back into the forest. It must have slipped my mind." Sakamoto shook his head and smiled at Alexius. He could tell she was a witch, but she wasn't that strong, so she wasn't a threat. "Hello there, I'm Sakamoto. I'm Oichi's boyfriend." Alexius's eyes widen. "Really and hear I thought she and Yain would have become closer." Oichi blushed. "R-Really? He's just my bodyguard...you know that." Alexius giggled. "Even so you two are cute together. Anyways I was just out looking for herbs. I guess your mom needs your help again?" Oichi nodded. "Oh, goodie! I'll help you again and I found some your mom would really like." Oichi smiled. "Thank you!" Ross was looking at Alexius. Something was off about her. She smelled more like dirt than anything. He rubbed his nose. Paxton pats his shoulder telling him that he felt off too. Ross sighs and follows Oichi and the others to the middle of the field.
Suddenly hearing a howl made them stop in their tracks had large white wolves appeared in the clearing. They can see the wolfs were werewolves.
Ross sighs. 'Oh great...' The white wolfs stopped and moved aside as one came walking over and stopped in front of Oichi 'Oichi can you hear me?' Oichi blinked as she recognized that voice "Jin?" Jin in wolf form nodded his head, Ross crossed his arms "We all can hear you" Jin looked at him, the wolfs behind Jin growled at him and Paxton. Jin turned his head back to his Pack "Enough!" the wolfs backed up cowardly. Jin looked back at Oichi in the others. "Be careful... there are two Korken demons in these woods, they have already eaten two children. Please stay alert" then looking at Ross "Keep an eye on your sister, even demon children are targets, not just human children"
"Yeah yeah move on already." Ross says waving his hand. "I've already sent word to Mikcloud family, please be safe" Jin said then howled as he and the pack dashed off back into the woods.
Alexius sat down. "Not to worry, we have three strong guys here to protect us let's find your herbs Oichi." Oichi took Marie's hand and they sat in the middle of the field. Alexius smiled at Marie. "What's your name?" Marie slides closer to Oichi. "Marie..." "What a cute name! Are you going to help us with herb hunting?" She places her hand on the ground as she did a beautiful herb started to grow. Marie's eyes widen. "Wow!" Alexius giggled. "Pretty neat right?" Sakamoto sat down beside Oichi while Ross and Paxton relaxed on the grass. "Mind if I join in on the lesson?" Alexius nodded. "Yes! The more the merrier I always say! Hee hee. Oichi do you still have your notepad?" Oichi nodded and pulled out the bag Sakamoto brought. "I keep it close and write down everything herb-related in it." "Good job! Then let's add some new ones. Marie crawled into Oichi's lap making her giggle. She wrapped her arms around her. "So cute you are." Oichi says opening her notebook.
At Danni's bar, she was passing out some drinks. She was wearing a sexy backless halter fashion crop top with white pants and high heels. As she walked men couldn't help but watch her hips swing side to side. Now with Danni being a single woman she felt better and happier not having to worry about Dante. She walked up to a table of men and their dates. "Are you guys enjoying yourself tonight?" The women glared at her, but she ignored it. One of the men chuckled. "My Danni, you are glowing very brightly tonight. Did a man already steal your heart?" Danni laughed. "Don't be silly why would I run back into something like that. I do want to enjoy my single life for a while at least." The man smirked. "Well, you know I am always up to wowing you." A smack was sent to the back of his head. He frowned as he looked at his date. "I'm sure the whor*...I mean...our lovely waitress should be busy doing something else." Danni smiled. She could tell that she was a demon, but she didn't care and anyone who knew her knew that she didn't care. That's why the man gulped and sunk to his sleep.
Danni reached over and slammed the woman's head into the table cracking it. The other girl gasps at this. Onlookers chuckled as they watched the show. Danni pulled the woman's head back up. "So sorry about that. My hand sometimes slips when I think I'm being disrespectful. Now then, you must be new in town. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Danni Tanaka of the Tanaka mystic clan. I am the owner of this place, not your damn waiter. These gentlemen you are with come here every night to enjoy a drink so please trust me when I say I know their type of women. The only whor* around here is you and you know it, or you wouldn't be here with them." The men covered their mouths as they chuckled slightly. The woman's face turns slightly red, and her eyes flashed the same color, but she said nothing back to Danni. "I'll be back to check on you guys and make sure you leave a tip." She was smiling. The woman got up and was about to attack Danni from behind her back.
Just then the door opened, causing everyone to stop. The woman's eyes widen as they watched a very handsome man walk in. He had long black and white hair and yellow piercing eyes. He was wearing a vintage waistcoat, gray and black, slim-fit formal double-breasted vest, and black slacks to match. He walked in and looked around until his eyes landed on Danni and the woman. He frowned at the woman. He took one step, and the woman was quickly down on her knees just like most of the demons in there. "M-My lord...what are you doing here?" The woman asked. Danni walked passed her making her gasp. "Lu! It's been a while huh!" The woman's eyes widen, and she stood up. "How dare you disrespect our Lord Lucifer! You should..." Suddenly the woman was grabbed by the throat. She looked into his cold eyes and quickly felt fear run up and down her body. "F-Forgive me..." She says. "The one who is disrespectful is you, woman. You dare attack my beloved Danni from behind? You are lucky you are in one piece. However, next time you try something so foolish I will make sure your life will end painfully. Understand?" "Y-Yes My Lord..." He dropped the girl on the floor. He frowned and then pulled out a tissue and whipped his hands off. "Disgusting. How much makeup do you people wear? It's all over my hand." The woman shiver as she sat on the ground.
Danni walked up to Lucifer "Beloved Danni huh?" Lucifer smirked. "I'm not wrong, am I?" Danni rolled her eyes. "You are. Last time I check you didn't even get past first base with me now do you want your usual booth or what? I got work to do." "Your harsh attitude is very attractive. Why don't you just because my queen already. I'm sure you will love it." He reached up to touch her chin only for her to slap it away. "No thanks. I like my life as it is thank you. Besides don't you get a wife and some kids of your own." "It's not like I married her. I need some offspring and I would say the same to you, but the word is you are single now. That means it's an open session all over again." He says licking his lips. Danni laughed. "If I were younger that may have worked on me...wait no it wouldn't. You are going to have to try way hard if you ever want to charm me, Lu, now bring your ass on so I can get back to work." Lucifer sighs and then chuckles. "Then I will consider that as a challenge then."
Delica, Kaci, and Dustin's mother stepped into the bar wearing Women's Star-Studded Skull Loose Fit Tank Top, Suede Studded Heel Ankle Boots, and Gothic Leather Jacket over her sh*t, she had her Razer phone in her hand, she was currently on the phone with the Vice Principal of the high school "Yes, I understand, I don't see a problem with it? Ah?! He should not be banned from showing his tattoo seal! You know I'm gonna have a word with Headmistress Isica!" She shouted and hung up, sighing "hey Danni a shot of Devils Cut"
"Sure, just make sure you leave your other conversation at the door." Danni says signing and placing the bottle and glass down pouring a drink. Delica took and turned to see Lucifer, blinking at him she stepped over to him. The demon woman frowned at Delica "disgusting an angel in here..." she whispers.
Delica sat down next to Lucifer "Lucifer Morningstar" Lucifer looked up and he smirked "Delica Valkyrie, my it's been decades? centuries? millenniums of years?" Delica shook her head a couple of decades when that jackass archangel Michael banished me to earth, making me a fallen angel.... he banished me for having a vampire has a soul mate... father doesn't even know...." she said gulping down her shot and slammed it to the table with a sigh "and know my oldest is being forced to hide his beautiful wings at school..."
"Easy with the slamming." Danni says walking by with a tray of drinking in her hand." Lucifer watches her butt as she walked by. "Ahh...every day it seems to grow bigger. I really want to get her in my bed." He says chuckling, Delica chuckled sorry about that Danni"
Lucifer rolled his eyes. "I don't really care about the history that Michael and you are going through. I cut ties with my so-called family long before. So, whatever is going on up there is none of my concern. I heard that Gabriel is here so speak to him or something." He says sighing. Delica sighs also "No I'm good, I rather like living here down on Earth no heavily rules to be honest. My sons should be here soon, I would like you to meet them brother, Danni other shot of Devil's cut please"
"Unless my beloved wolf leaves then I will be staying." Lucifer says chuckles as Danni walked back. "Aw Lu, try are you might but you aren't getting in these pants anytime soon." She walks around the bar and makes another shot for Delica. "Now are you going to order drinks or food?" "I prefer one of your special." "Black devil it is." She says. Lucifer chuckled. "By the way Danni, how is your daughter doing?" "Fine so far. Thanks to your son by the way I'm shocked you allowed him to go by Ross and not his real name." Lucifer sighs. "That boy. So stubborn so I allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Ross isn't a bad name so long as those around him know who he is." Danni placed a martini glass in front of him that had a dark color liquid with the rim covered with lime and blueberry on a stick. "Have you thought about trying a new name?" She asked. Lucifer took a sip. "Not really. I love my name and I love it when people it sounds better when screamed though." He says chuckling at her. Danni rolled her eyes. "Keeping trying Lu. Better men have tried and failed." Lucifer smirked "I am no mere man my sweet." Delica chuckles and then takes a sip of her drink.
The door opened, and Mara walked in wearing a Lilac frost Harriet Cami, Margot Pastel Blue High-Rise Ankle Skinny Jeans, and cute light skin tone pastel converse. Her golden honey hair was Hairstyle Long Loose Wave and she had very light makeup and had her nails were painted blush pink. Caring a box of homemade Diy marble Wine glasses, that were so colorful on the bottom. "Hello, Danni! I have your order of the glassware you ordered!" Delica's eyes widen "aww it's little Mara, she looks so cute and grown-up"
Danni cleaned her hands. "Thank you dear." Taking the box, she walked off. Mara smiled and turned but stopped to see her uncle and aunt. She gasped "Auntie Delica! Uncle Lucifer! It's so good to see!" she giggled stepping over. Delica smiled "Hello dear, how are you?" Lucifer frowned since Danni walked away. "She could have just asked someone to come get the damn thing." He says mumbling almost pouting to himself.
Mara smiled "I'm doing good, Uncle Lucifer how are you?" "When my beloved Danni comes back, I will be better." He says.
"Mara!" Lyle stepped in with a disgusted look on his face "Come on let's get out of here, there's nothing but vile people in here, and disgusting demon and two black sheeps of the family get over here now!" Mara's eyes widen "Cousin... don't..." Delica stood up "two black sheep's aye? My dear nephew, you are nothing like your father.... So, the rumors I hear from my sons is true, Michael has been trying to raise you into him I wonder why Gabriel is allowing this" Lyle looked at her with disgust on his face "shut up, we are not family disgusting filth" he reached out grabbing Mara's arm hard "Ow! Lyle! Stop it let go! Delica bites her lip "Lyle!"
Lucifer sighs as he sips on his drink right as Danni returned. Lyle turned and his eyes widen to see his father standing there with a disappointed look on his face, a couple of demons' eyes widen and backed up from his appearance in the bar "your grandfather wants to see you, head back to the shop" Lyle shook "Grandfather....? Why?" Gabriel sighed "you know why leave now" Lyle left the bar and looked at Danni "I'm so sorry Danni, for the trouble the next order will be on the house"
Danni frowned. "Uh-huh...She says walking around to go check on her customers." Gabriel looked at Lucifer and Delica, he smiles sweetly at him "Delica" She nodded at him "Brother" Gabriel looked at lucifer "Little brother, it's good to see you, how are you?" "You should teach that boy of yours some manners Gabriel. Angel, your son, or not he will feel wraith if he disrespects me like that again. If you continue to be foolish an allow Michael to put more words in his head, you will lose him."
"Mother are you ready?" it was Dustin in the doorway. Delica blinked "Oh yeah" she got up and paid Danni "See you later Danni" she walked to the door "let's go Dustin and Kaci" they nodded and left with her. Gabriel still standing there looking at Lucifer "I'm sorry for my son... our brother has gotten to him... I don't know what to do to change him... well then it was good to see you brother" Gabriel said leaving as the demons watched him leave.
Lucifer rolled his eyes. "How about beat some sense in him for once." Danni walked back over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Between Gabriel and Raphael, they have a lot of kindness in their hearts huh." Lucifer placed his hand on hers. "It's annoying as hell but that boy needs to know his place. Gabriel is the Arch of Compassion, and his disgusting ways should have passed down to that idiot son of his but nooo he had to let Michael that overbearing idiot whisper worlds into his ears left and right. I swear the whole family is nothing but..." He sighs out as she drinks down the rest of his drink. "I understand somewhat Lu. Need something stronger?" Lucifer nodded. "I'd like that...then maybe I can tag back home with you." He says smirking. Danni chuckled. "Nice try you did there."
Samuel walked up. "Lady Danni." He stopped to see Lucifer. "I see your suitor is back from Hell." Lucifer chuckled. "Nice to see you, Samuel. Don't mind me I'm just thinking of ways to get into your princess's pants tonight." Samuel laughed. "You are welcome to try but you're going to have to wait in line." Lucifer's eyes narrowed. "What's this? Are you throwing your name in the ballet?" Samuel chuckled. "Oh no, not that I wouldn't want to, but I think Lady Danni is a bit too much for me haha." Danni placed a drink on the table. "Don't worry Lu, so far you're the only person today who is trying so hard." Lucifer grabbed her hand. "That's good for I shall be the one to steal your heart away sooner or later." He kissed the back of it. Danni chuckled. "Your charms won't work on me." She then placed a hand over his. "I do, however, look forward to seeing how far you will go through." She winks at him before humming and walking off. Lucifer licks his lips. "Such a fascinating creature. Samuel you might want to tell your King that his daughter may become the queen of hell one day." Samuel chuckled. "Much luck to you Lucifer." He walked off.
Lyle shook as he walked into the back of his father's shop, then walked down the hall to a room. He gulped and opened it, stepping in he closed the door. The room was a living room and kitchen in the back, the color theme was white. There sitting on the couch was a very handsome man, he was wearing a uniform that consists of a white blazer with gold embroidery, a white dress shirt and a blue tie, a black-grey vest, and a black belt with a sun logo as the belt buckles.
His pants are grey-colored dress pants, and he wears it with white boots. He had long light blond hair with blue eyes. His head looked up to see Lyle, he smiled "Come here my child" Lyle walked over to him and kneeled. Divus chuckled "There's no need to kneel to me my child please stand" Lyle stood up "Grandfather.... This is rare of you... why are you here?" Divus frowned which was rare of him to do in front of the family "you disappoint me Lyle" Lyle bites his lip looking down "How so...?" Divus sighed "must you ask me this? I think it's high time you stop this foolishness, acting like your uncle is something is my fault... after all, I let this go on long enough... I've already given your uncle an order not to speak to you without your father's permission" Lyle's eyes widen and looked up at his grandfather "But Grandfather!" a hand touched his cheek gently making Lyle's eyes widen, Divus was holding his cheek with a stern look on his face "I have spoken Lyle do not make me repeat myself to you, landing a hand on your cousin was the last stray with, therefore" letting go of Lyle's cheek, he placed two fingers on Lyle's forehead then Lyle's body started to glow with a golden light this made Lyle's eyes widen 'no..!' the light disappeared, Divus's hand moved away "I have taken your wings from you until I say so, of course, you still have your angelic powers but your wings I will give you back until you have learned your lesson. You are grounded to earth until I say do" he said stepping past him "My word is final" he said disappearing around the corner. Lyle sank to his knee with tears in his eyes 'my... wings...'
In the forest, Oichi and the others were getting ready to go. Ross was carrying Marie who was sleeping. Oichi hugged Alexius tightly. "Oh, I wish you could come to school with me! I have another friend who is a witch too! I bet you two would get along great!" Alexius giggled. "You should bring her here one day. I'd love to meet her. I wish my parents could let me come but they are stuck in the old ways. They say you can't learn anything about your magic at school so why bother." Alexius sighs. "All they care for is about my magic but it's okay. I'm glad I made a friend in you Oichi! So, I got you a gift!" She lifts her hand and chants something. There was a bright flash of light, and something landed softly next to Oichi. Oichi looked down and gasp. "What is this!?" Alexius giggled. "My gift to you! A wooden herb box made from bamboo with a protective glass display. I even filled some spots for you." Oichi smiled as hugged her again. "Oh wow!! Thank you! This would make things easier for me when I got herb hunting! Now I have to get you something." Alexius hugged her and smiled. "You don't. Your friendship is the best thing that happen to me. I'm glad I meet you." Sakamoto picked up the box. Oichi let go of Alexius. "I'll see you again soon, okay?" Alexius nodded. "Okay! Bye!" She says waving. Oichi grabbed Sakamoto's hand and they walked back through the path. Alexius smiles and then places her hands behind her back. As the wind blows a few leaves blew around her. She looked down at herself as a leaf halfway blew through her. She frowned. "...I really am glad to meet you Oichi...I wish things could have been different." She tears up and turns away disappearing into the forest.
Reaching the car, Ross yawns. "Man, that was a great ass nap." Paxton nodded. "I agree. We should go back one day." Oichi giggled. "See she was so nice, wasn't she?" Sakamoto nodded. "Yes, I didn't think I could learn about so many herbs in such a short time. She's a great teacher for this." Oichi smiles as he places the box and the bag in the car. "Hey Oichi, I guess this is where we part for the day." Ross says as he handed Marie to Paxton. "Okay Ross, See you at school." Ross waved and got in the car and drove off. Sakamoto and Oichi got in the car. "Well, now we have the house to ourselves. Want me to make you glow like Jess was earlier." Oichi's eyes widen, and her face turned red. "Wha..." "Just kidding. I haven't seen your flustered face for a while. I had to tease you a bit." Sakamoto says laughing and pulling off. Oichi pouted as she rubbed her redder cheeks. "You are so mean..." She says, trying to calm down her beating heart.
Jess and Rick walked holding hands in the park eating their ice cream. It was around 4 pm and getting dim outside. They both got vanilla small cones. Jess numbing on her's 'this is nice, just me and him walking like this. Rick bit down on the cone, He looked at her. Jess had this blissful look on her face. He chuckled mental, 'she's so beautiful' suddenly feeling something dark made him stop holding Jess's hand tighter making her gasp dropping her cone "Rick!" she turned to him and say the protective fearful look on his face "Rick... what is it...?" she looked in front of them and her eyes widen in slight fear, in front of them was Clover, Rick's uncle. He had a dark smirk on his face "My dear nephew" Rick growled deeply making Jess almost jump "uncle... how dare you show your face to me!" Clover chuckled with his speed, Rick was caught off guard as he pushed Rick away from Jess making her gasp, Rick had been pushed into a tree, cracking it in half.
Jess's eyes widen and looked at Clover who was now leaning over her "Little Witch, it's your fault" reaching down gripping Jess by the hair making her scream in pain "AHHHHH!!!" Clover laughed "me and you are gonna have much fun, I'm gonna torture you with such pleasure" then she felt a prick on in her neck making her eyes widen 'what the...' she felt darkness wash over her as she felt unconscious seeing a sick dark smirk on his face.
Rick groaned getting up and his eyes widen, Jess and Clover were gone. Panic hit him 'no... he took her...' "No... no, no, no!! JESSSS!"
Making it home, Oichi was laying down on the bed shirtless and braless as Sakamoto peeled off her back cover. She was about to take her herb bath. Her scars were tingling giving her the feeling something bad was going to happen. The last time they tingled she went out of control at school. She sighs. "What's wrong?" Sakamoto asked. "You think we should have told Jess about what we saw at the mall?" She asked. Sakamoto frowned. "I told my grandfather about it and he told me that we need to stay silent about it..." Oichi frowned. "I don't like lying to Jess. She should know." "I know but just wait a little bit." "She needs to know that some girl looking like her might be trying to hurt her. I can't stay silent about that." "I think you and Jess have been through enough this week, okay? Let's just wait it out and see what my grandfather does. He might inform Jetter and maybe he can tell Jess more about whoever or whatever we saw." Oichi bit her lip and put her face in her pillow. She felt off and her back started to throb more. She had learned that when that happened then either her uncle was very close to her or something bad was happening. She hopes that neither was true.
"WHAT?!" Jetter yelled, Rick had gone to the Mikcloud manor right away and told her uncle about Jess being taken by his uncle, Zach end up being there visiting. Dawn was on the floor on her knees tearing, Zach was kneeling with her holding her as Dawn hysterically cry's "Oh Jess! She must be so frightened! What is Clover gonna do to her?!" Zach frowned rubbing her back "Don't worry Dawn, Jess will be found" Jetter made fits pissed "River!" River appeared in a blink of an eye, she had her long light blue hair tied back into a ponytail. Her eyes were a radiant blue with a black slit pupil. She was wearing a black PU Leather Jacket Faux Slim Leather, Black faux leather skater skirt, Black Faux Leather Chunky Heel Thigh High Boots, black faux leather fingerless gloves, and a black mask that covered half her lower face. There was double katana on her back. "Yes, my lord?" "work with Rick, find her" River nodded "Of course, my lord" grabbing Rick and making him gasp as they disappeared.
Jetter walked over to the window "Dawn... go to Danni's... let Danni know" Dawn sniffed "alright brother..."
At the bar, Danni was sitting down counting the safe while everyone was cleaning up. She was leaving the bar early today so that she could meet Yain to collect her items and run some errands. Oichi had texted her that she was home, so she also needed to start making her new herb back for her back. Lucifer was still there watching her. "Shouldn't you be getting back to hell or something?" Danni says logging in her info on her tablet. Lucifer chuckled. "I do but I think I want to meet your pup. I know Endu is fond of her and Lady Faye. I have yet to meet her yet and Ross is very fascinated with her as well despite what he says." Danni shook her head. "Fine but don't you go draining her or anything. Ross does that enough." She put her money in the safe and placed her hand on her hips. "Sam!" Samuel walked in carrying a crate of dishes. "I'm going to ride with Lu home. If you have any issues just call me okay" Samuel nodded. Danni grabbed her bag. "Come on Lu but touch my daughter and I'll send you flying." Lucifer chuckled and got up falling her out.
When they reached her house, they got out and walked inside to see Sakamoto grabbing a cup of tea for Oichi. "Sakamoto Hey there!" Danni says smiling. Sakamoto turned around and smiled. "Good evening Ms. Danni." Lucifer walked in around her and looked around. "Nice place here my dear." Sakamoto frowned. He knew who it was from the way he smelled. "Lord Lucifer...if you're looking for your son, he has already gone home..." Lucifer chuckled. "Good. Now, where is your little girlfriend at?" "...She's taking her herb bath..." Lucifer chuckled and started to head to Oichi's room until Sakamoto stood in his way. "Move boy." "Forgive me but Oichi doesn't like to be seen while taking her herb bath." Lucifer frowned. "Do it look like I care. Step aside. Now." Sakamoto frowned but didn't move. Danni sighed. "Lu, Sakamoto is right. I don't want you to make her uncomfortable or so won't speak to you. Why don't I fix you some tea while we wait?" Lucifer turned to her. "As you wish my beloved. Shall I make us some? I do make one hellish cup of tea. One that will set your soul on fire." Danni chuckled. "Sure, go for it." She says sitting down to remove her shoes. Lucifer chuckles and heads into the kitchen. Sakamoto heads back to Oichi's room. 'Like father like son I see...'
Eye's fluttered open, and Jess groaned but felt something wrong. Looking up her eyes widen; her hands were above her chained leaving her hanging from the ceiling. Looking around the room, she was in a stone brick room with a metal door. The room was cold, and it was dark, the only light was a dim torch that was hanging on the wall. Panic it her, closing her eyes she tried to cast a spell to get rid of these chains, but her eyes widened with a gasp "My magic..." it wasn't working. Hearing a deep dark chuckle, her head turned to see Clover standing in the doorway with a smirk "your magic is blocked" he stepped over to her and poked the chains "anti-magical metal very, very rare to find, taking out a dagger he ran it gently across her side making her piss in pain he smirked at her, Jess shivered "Don't do anything stupid.... Clover please..." he stepped toward her grabbing her face making her close her eyes shaking "you will shut up Witch" as he grabbed her shirt making her eyes shoot open. He ripped off her shirt making her gasp in fear and shock "NO! stop!" leaving her nothing but her bra and small pieces of her shirt. Clover laughed walking away and hearing Jess crying softly "I'll be back with such a bigger surprise witch" Jess sniffed 'Rick....'
Back at Danni's, there was a loud knock on the front door, then the ringing of the doorbell. Danni sighs. "Knock or ring pick one." She says.
Opening the door, Danni sees Dawn in tears, her makeup running down her cheeks "Danni..." Danni frowned. "Dawn? What's wrong?" She grabbed her arm and pulled her inside closing the door behind her. She sat Dawn down. "Lu make an extra cup of tea please" Danni sat beside her and held Dawn's hand. "Dawn calm down and tell me what's wrong?"
Dawn sniffed "It's Jess..." "Jess? What about her?" "Clover took her.... He took her! Oh, Danni, she must be scared! I can't think of what he will do to her...!" Dawn tears more. Danni frowned and hugged her. "Oh, Dawn. Is there anything we can do? The spell you used to help me back then. Would that work to find her?" She pulls back and holds her hands. "You know I am here for you and if there is anything, I can do to help I will do it. You helped me with Oichi was taken from me so there is no way in hell I'm going to sit around and not lend a hand with trying to find Jess."
Dawn bit her lip "I've already done one... it's being blocked.... And what to do... brother is having River and Rick look for her.... Should we tell Oichi...?" "Tell Oichi what?" It was Sakamoto walking into the room. Dawn frowned "Jess was taken by Clover..." Sakamoto frowned. "Taken..." Lucifer walked over with three cups of tea and placed them on the table. "Ah, Clover is quite a problem maker." "Not now Lu." Danni says. Lucifer shrugs and takes a seat and grabbed a cup of tea. Sakamoto sighs. "I'll tell her. She should be almost done with her herb bath but, Oichi as a strong sense of smell wouldn't she be able to find Jess at least?" "If her magic is being blocked then it's a strong possibility that her scent is also being blocked. If that wasn't the case Oichi would have noticed Jess disappearing."
"Then...I'll tell her. I should be able to stop her from trying to go look for her at the least..." Lucifer stood up. "I will come with you." Sakamoto frowned. "I think I can handle it." "I'm sure you can but I'm coming anyways plus watching women cry isn't my thing unless I'm the one doing it." He says chuckling and heading to Oichi's room. Sakamoto sighs and followed him. Danni shakes her head and rubs Dawn's back. "Everything will be okay. They will find her." Dawn looked at Danni sniffing "So... Lucifer...? Does he have a thing for you...?" Danni smiles slightly. "He says he do. I resisted his lame charms and I guess he became fascinated with me and even offered for me to be Queen of hell but that's not the case right now. Let's focus on the important things right now."
In Oichi's room, she was getting out of the bath and carefully drying herself off. She then quickly put on her black tube top and black shorts. She walked out of the bathroom when Lucifer walked in. Oichi's eyes widen. "Who are you!?" She asked covering herself up. Lucifer chuckled. "My, aren't you a cute pup. You look just like your mother." Sakamoto walked in behind him. "Oichi this is Lucifer, Ross's dad. You can tell by his rudeness..." Lucifer chuckled as Sakamoto walked around him and went to her. "Oichi, I need to tell you something." "What?" She says glancing over to Lucifer. "It's...It's about Jess." Oichi's eyes snapped to him. "What about her?" "She...She's been taken by a man name Clover..." Oichi's eyes widen. "Taken!? Taken how!!" Sakamoto grabbed her shoulders, but Oichi pushed his hands off. "What do you mean Taken!!!" She says in a panic. She started to tear up as the pain in her chest started to throb. "R-Rick is with her! She couldn't have..." Oichi bit her lip and she ran to her window. "Oichi wait!!" Oichi opened her window and sniffed and sniffed trying to find Jess's scent. "No...No!!! She can't be gone." She jumped on the window seal, ready to jump out but Sakamoto grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back in. "Stop it Ichi! There isn't anything you can do right now!" "Don't say that! I have to try to find her!" Oichi says struggling out of his grip. She then gasps out as the curse in her chest started to react. She grabbed her chest as she felt a burning sensation and a dark aura started to pour out of her. "Crap...not now...I have to find Jess..."
Lucifer walked up to her and touched her head and started to drain her. "Easy little pup. The curse on your soul feeds on negative emotions. Can't have that happening and making it stronger to break." Oichi felt weak and passed out in Sakamoto's arms. "What did...Ross's mark." Lucifer chuckled. "Ross's mark means nothing to me. I suggest you find a way to calm her down when she wakes though. If I drain too much, she'll be out longer than needed." He turned around and walked away. He closed the door behind him. Sakamoto frowned and held Oichi tightly. "Ichi...Don't worry she will be found..." He looked out the window. 'Rick you dumbass you better find her soon...'
Jess shook, she was cold hanging in this stone cell-like room then she froze in fear as she can hear footsteps walking back into the room. Closing her eyes, she heard the door open again but something in her made her look as she sees Clover walks in pushing a metal operating table with wheels that had a machine on it over to her. Jess frowned "What is that for...?" Clover chuckled stepping over to her undoing the chains above her then gripping the chains and pulling her over to the machine, Jess tried to fight back by through a kick at him, but he caught her and grabbed her neck slamming her on the metal bed, Jess screamed: "PLEASE DON'T!" Clover growled and put the restraints on her wrists and ankles "What I'm gonna do is drain you of all your blood" Jess's eyes widen "w-what...?" Clover chuckled "a Witches blood goes for a high price on the black market, Mikcloud blood is even higher and you being the reincarnation of Regina well that will be even higher than that, I'm surprised she hasn't shown herself to me yet most likely these chains blocking her to come out"
Jess panicked "Please clover, please don't do this! Please I'll do anything!" Clover sighs but chuckled "Nope, I'm gonna make sure you will never be a problem anymore. You are the reason why my family isn't pure" finding a vein arm her did his work to hook her up to the machine. Jess sniffed 'Rick... hurry and find me..'
In Oichi's room, Sakamoto had her on the bed as he started to soak her bandages in the tub. He wasn't liking how all these events were playing out. He wasn't sure how this was going to end either. Between the issues rising with both Jess and Oichi, it just proves one thing that no one is truly prepared for what's going to come. He rubs the bandages in the herbs. 'I need to become stronger or at least be in a better position to make Oichi safer.' He got up and cleaned his hands off. He walked to the bed and rubbed Oichi's head. "What are we going to do with the both of you..."
Jess didn't know when she blacked out, but when's he opened her eyes. She was still hooked up to the machine 'how long have I been out...?' turning slightly she can see the machine tube half full 'that much blood and I'm still alive...?' she felt weak, cold. Clover was nowhere in the room 'I have to do something.....' closing her eyes 'maybe....' Moving her right index, with her thumbnail she cut her right index finger, not feeling any pain, she started to draw a circle of her blood circle on her left palm, a circle with pentagram finishing quickly 'I don't need magic to summon him...' "Oh hear me Prince of the under... I beckon you to my call, come to me... Son of Hades, Damien"
Next to her a red magical red aura circle appeared and glowed and it got warm in the room, has a single fire appeared with in the circle and a figured forum in the fire, the fire soon dispersed and there was Damien standing there "I knew you would" he stopped talking when he saw Jess, his eyes widen "Jess..." Jess smiled weakly "Damien... please help... Clover is here.. he took me..." Damien's heart dropped 'clover?!' he rushed next to her and started to gently take the needles out of her. Removing her from the machine, he looked at the blood in the tube, he frowned "he was draining you" Jess nodded weakly "Damien the chains.... Anti magic... metal..." Damien's eyes but stepped over and spit on the chains, as they started to melt away. Carefully taking the chains off her, he picked her up "the blood.... Destroy it..." Damien nodded "my pleasure" suddenly the metal door opened with a slam, it was clover. Clover's eyes widen to see Damien there "HOW?!!" Jess smirked weakly lifting up her left hand, right on the left palm was Damien's summoning circle "don't need magic to summon a demon" Clover growled rushing at them "I don't think so Vampire" Damien said with a deep dark tone. Damien's eyes widen and glowing red as the whole room bursts into flames destroying the blood machine and Jess's blood with it. Clover growled "NO!" Damien then teleported away with his fire. Clover punched the wall destroying "f*ckEN DEMONS!!"
Sakamoto was putting on some yoga pants for Oichi and was about to put a shirt over her tube top until her eyes snapped open and she sat up starting him. She looked out the window and her eyes turned a mystic blue color. Her facial features started to change, and her hair started to flare out. A blue aura started to form around her blowing Sakamoto back. The door to her room quickly opened and Danni, Dawn, and Lucifer quickly enter. Danni's eyes widen. "Oichi!? Calm down!!" Oichi's aura flares out more as she gets up. Her normal ears disappear and were replaced with wolf ears and a tail came out from behind her. She growled out showing her fangs and claws. Sakamoto's eyes were wide in shock. 'What is this...is she going full wolf or...?' Danni got in front of the bed. "Oichi Hunny! Please calm down! You're going to bring the house down if you keep this up!" Danni yelled. Lucifer watched in interest. 'Blue aura...interesting...' Dawn gasped "Oichi...."
Oichi's eyes looked at Danni then to Sakamoto. She then looked out the window. The way her aura surrounded her made her look elegant and mystic. Sakamoto felt his heart do many flips as he has never seen Oichi like this before. Oichi then jumped off the bed and with amazing speed disappeared out of the room. Danni ran to the window and cursed out. "Dammit! Oichi comes back!!!" She yelled. She then sighed. "Great..." It wasn't until Sakamoto's head snapped up. "It's Jess..." They looked at him. "She must have found her. It's faint but I can smell her too..." Dawn's eyes widen and took out her phone and called Jetter.
In a bedroom, space was organized around a translucent glass box, where the dressing room was located. The bedroom had black walls and a wooden floor. By the windows was a True queen size bed with a light grey fabric bed frame, white sheets, and black bedding on it. Jess was laying in the middle of the bed sleeping, she was wearing some of his mother's pajama clothes, his mother put fresh black high waist Panties on her and put adorable nightshirt on her. Damien standing at the edge frowning at her, his mother was on the side of Jess with her arms up and hands above Jess with magical aura circles around her, she was healing Jess. Heliosa asked her son "Did you call her uncle?" Damien shook his head "No..." Heliosa sighed "I guess I will, no doubt Rick will sense her and find her here along with their Dragon" Damien sighed "yeah...." Heliosa finished up "Alright, I'm gonna call him" she left Damien's room. Damien turned to Jess, moving over to her side. And sat down, the color of jess's face went back to normal. Smiling softly down at her, he leaned down kissing her forehead "If only you didn't bond with Rick..."
Just then Damien heard screeching on the window. He frowned and quickly turned around to see wolf claws pressing up against the window. "What the hell..." The claws faze through the window unlocking its flames engulfing the window. Damien held a hand up ready to protect Jess until he felt the aura pouring out. "Oichi??" The flames opened up and Oichi jumped through them landing on all fours. She looked up at Damien who was shocked at her form. "What kind of form is that?" Oichi ignored him and stood up. She slowly walked around the bed and looked at Jess. She sniffed her and her eyes wiggled when she realized that she was okay. Oichi then sat down like a puppy close to the side of the bed and waited. Her tail waved back and forth as her eyes never left Jess waiting for her to wake up.
Damien smiled softly "She summoned me, having her magic blocked, she did the only thing she could do is summon me by using her own blood" then feeling an aura he sighed and sat down at the edge of the bed has Damien's door burst open and Rick rushed in a panic "Jess!" Damien sighed "Shut the hell up, she's sleeping" Rick frowned at Damien.
Oichi's aura flared slightly as she growled at Rick, clearly angry at him for taking his eyes off Jess. Her tail hit the floor out of anger, cracking it slightly. Warning him not to disturb Jess as she slept and recovered.
Rick blinked at her "Oichi... is that you...?"
Oichi glares at him and turns back to Jess wagging her tail. Damien sighed "Just don't bother Jess while is sleeping, I don't want my room destroyed" Rick narrowed at him but stepped over to Jess sleeping on the bed "Shut up, she's girlfriend so I can do whatever I want" he reached for but Oichi growled and snapped at him making Rick's eyes widen but Oichi's chin was caught by Zach who appeared in the room "Now, Now Oichi, a werewolf bite is deadly to vampires with no cure so please keep your fangs in"
Oichi slightly growled but nodded in his hand. He let her go then looked at Rick "knock it off" Rick frowned but nodded and sat down next to Jess softly petting her hair, he frowned "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... I'm sorry I couldn't find you... Out of all the people you summon Damien... why not Kaci...?" he muttered to Jess's sleeping form. Jess's eyes widen fluttered open seeing Rick, she smiles half sleepy "Ricky... my vampire" Rick smiled "how are you feeling love?" Jess closes her eyes "better but still sore..." Rick chuckled then they both felt someone jump on the bed, Jess looked, and her eyes widen "O-Oichi.... Is that you...?"
Oichi had tears in her eyes as her tail wagged happily and her ear twitched out of happiness. She then pounced on Jess, not too hard, knowing she was still recovering a bit. Tears ran down her cheek as she snuffled her face into Jess's hair. Jess chuckled and petted Oichi's hair "It's okay Oichi I'm alright" Rick and Damien smiled at them.
In the Livingroom, Heliosa was sitting on the couch next to River. She was sitting there on guard in case Clover showed himself. A knock on the door made Heliosa stand up and walk over to the front door. Opening their stood Jetter and Dawn, she bowed her head slightly and let them in. "Where is she?" Jetter asked "She's asleep in Damien's room, Damien and Rick are in there along with Oichi" Jetter nodded. Dawn looked like a mess, Danni was outside with Lucifer and Sakamoto, and Dawn looked at Heliosa "can you show me the room?" Heliosa nodded "this way"
Outside Lucifer sighed and grabbed Danni and Sakamoto by their shoulder. "What are you..." Suddenly they were engulfed by a black light.
In the room, Oichi was still cuddling against Jess when her ears perked up. The room felt hot for a few seconds as a marking appeared on the floor. Damien frowns recognizing the marking. Suddenly Lucifer appeared with Danni and Sakamoto.
Danni frowned and smacked Lucifer on the back of the head. Making everyone's eyes widen. "Idiot we could have just come through the front door! Did you have to be so grand just to come in a room??" Lucifer rubbed the back of his head. "For your information my love, I like being grand. Why should I wait to be told to go anywhere when I could just bring you to wherever you wanted in a second?" Danni put her hand over her face. "Your just as proud and rude as ever." Lucifer chuckled. "I'll take that as a wonderful compliment." Sakamoto looked around the room and saw Oichi on Jess. He walked over to her. "Oichi give Jess some space." Oichi wags her tail and pouts but lets Jess go. Danni walked up to the bed. "Sorry about that Jess. The form she's in well as you can see more beast than the human mind is there right now. She was just really worried about you that it must have forced its way out. Nonetheless, I'm glad you're okay. We all are."
Jess chuckled "It's alright Danni I don't mind; I rather like her snuggles" she giggled. Dawn stepped into the room, she blinked "What the... did he teleport you here?" Danni rolled her eyes as Lucifer chuckled.
Dawn shook her head and stepped over to the bed with a smile "Sweetheart" Jess smiles softly "Mama..." Dawn sniffed with happy tears coming out of her face "I'm so happy you alright..." Jetter behind her "Damien, come with me I wish to speak with you, Zach Lucifer please come with me" Jetter turned to walk out, Lucifer sighed "I would rather not" Jetter turned back to him "it would be wise Lord Lucifer, we are already on thin ice when one your demons attached my niece" Jetter said turning back and left the room. Damien sighed "Let's just do what he says..." he said following him, Zach nodded "Come on Lucifer, the girls will be already with River right here" he said as River appeared next to him. "I will watch over them" River said.
Danni motioned Lucifer to go. "Like I said I rather not. I'm only here to bring you here and take you home so I can get you into bed." Danni sighs. "Okay how about this. You go hear what they got to say and maybe I'll consider you taking me on one date." Lucifer's eyes lit up. "I'll take it. So be ready for the date of your life." He says leaving out. Danni sighs. "I swear it's like I'm talking to a brick wall..." Sakamoto pats his legs and Oichi ran to him and pounced on him. "I kinda like this side of you." He says chuckling as she cuddled into his arms.
Jess pouted "Hey... I wanna snuggle more" Rick smirked and slipped in next to Jess snuggling up to her making Jess giggle "There now you have someone to snuggle up to" Jess smiled sweetly. Dawn chuckled "So cute" Danni smiled at them all.
In the living room, Jetter, Zach, and Damien stood there. Jetter lifted his hands placing them on Damien's temples "everyone standstill. Damien, I'm gonna open up your mind and project what you witness" Damien nodded. Zach chuckled "power of a Mikcloud, very rare spell you're doing"
Lucifer signs uncaring as he leans on the wall. A light appeared on Jetter's fingers tips as they were suddenly into a black space has memory bubbles appeared when Jess summoned him to him appeared in the stone cell. Zach and Lucifer both see Jess strapped to this device, there was IVS in her arm and large blood Vile next to her. Zach frowned "taking her blood...."
Jetter frowned "He was taking her blood... What for?" Damien frowned "I don't know... maybe a tortured way to kill her to drain her?" Zach sighs deeply "No... he was gonna sell it to the black magic mark... Witch's blood goes for a high price because to a vampire, demon, and werewolf... it's like a drug and get high from it... and Jess being a Mikcloud and the reincarnation the price would be even higher... I say her blood can go close to 10 million a vile"
Jetter ends the memory spell "Damien, thank you for saving her" Damien nodded "Anything for her Lord Jetter" Jetter looks at him and sighs "Damien... you must give up on being with her, she is mated with Rick. Me and Zach already filled out the marriage contract between our families they will be married after high school, plus it would be best if she was with Rick, a demon would just cause her trouble with the council... the last witch that mated with a demon was on trial.... Please for her just be her friend" he said turning walking always. Zach patted Damien's shoulder "it's alright Damien, the council won't do anything, Jetter's just paranoid" Zach said walking away following Jetter. Damien's head went down looking down at the floor, heartbroken. Heliosa frowned and stepped toward her son hugging him "It's alright dear... you are half-demon and half-god, don't listen to him. You can love anyone you want" Damien just stood there letting his mother comfort him.
Lucifer rolled his eyes. "This is why I hate coming up here. Don't do this. Don't do that. Can't love this. Can't love that. Council said you can't do this or that blah...blah...blah..." He says rubbing his head. "I swear it's just like a repeated process with you people up here. I'd rather be watching the souls of men burn than watch this drama scene up. Nonetheless, a deal is a deal." He turned away and went back to the room. He chuckled to himself as he just remembered the few words of Jetter's that caught his attention. 'A witch was put on trial for mating with a demon ha...maybe I should go visit an old friend.'
Danni looked at him. "Everything okay?" "For me sure. I could care less about who is doing what. Now I'd like my reward. You owe me a date." Danni sighed. "I said I would consider it." "I took that as a yes, my beloved." He walked over to her and grabs her shoulder and touched Sakamoto's head. "I'm sure you all are happy your witch friend is safe so off we go." Oichi's head pops up and growls saying she wanted to stay with Jess, but Lucifer ignored her. "Off we go now." He says they were engulfed in dark light and in a flash, they were gone.
Rick looked at his father "Where would she go? She isn't safe... anywhere..." Zach shook his head "River would be with Jess every day, in the shadows" Jetter said, Jess, sighs "I see" Dawn frowned getting up "Brother... you know I don't like it she is watched..." Jetter frowned at her also "It's for her safety sister, my word stands" Dawn glared but gave in sitting down.
At the house right after Lucifer brought them home, he declared he'd back to take Danni on a date and left. Sakamoto and Oichi went back into her room, and she jumped on the bed. "How long do you plan to be in that form? It's cute and all but I miss your voice." Oichi turns over on her back and he noticed her necklace. One of Ronnie's fangs to help her keep her powers in check. It was glowing slowly sucking her aura back in. As it did her eyes started to come back to their normal color. Her ears and tails disappeared, and she sighs out. "It's been a while since that happened..." She says mumbling out. Sakamoto chuckled and laid down beside her. "Do you remember everything?" Oichi looked at him. "Of course, I do...It sucks that I couldn't say anything to Jess but I'm happy she's okay." Sakamoto rubs her head. "You were so cute. Cuddling up to her and then to me like a cute puppy." Oichi blushed. "Shut up...I can't help it in that form..." Sakamoto wrapped his arm around her and rubbed her back. "How's you back?" "It's okay for now...still tingles..." She says as she starts to drift off to sleep. Sakamoto smiles. "That form must tire you out since you don't use it much I guess."
As he watched her sleep, he failed to notice outside on the roof not too far from the house, a figure was sitting there watching. He was wearing a dragon scale ring that was given to him. It was case in magic that covered his scent presence. He was wearing jet black, red, and white fitted armor. He had black hair that covered his face and there was a mask was beside him. He picked it up and covered his face and then pulled a hood over his head showing only the mask. He gazed into the room looking at Oichi. "Dearest sister...I have found you finally. Soon I will deliver to my master and once he is done with you, I will finish you off. Until then cherish your pathetic life for now..." He jumps off the roof and disappears.
In the magical council room, Seth and Ronnie were both standing in the circle room. Around them were council members. The high council member banged his staff "King Ronnie of the Mystic Clan, King Seth, 2nd vampire king, do you know why we have summoned you?"
Ronnie sighs. "Can we not ask such a silly question..." Seth sighs mentally. "Your children's relationship, werewolves, and vampires in a relationship have not happened since the time of the hybrid Decan. It's aperitive that Oichi Yamamoto is put under an anti-pregnancy spell or get her tubes tied."
Both Ronnie and Seth sigh at the same time. "What is with you council members...deciding who or what races can mate, like you can decide the fate of everyone. You might have your way this time, but the world is changing and your hold on it can't last forever." Ronnie says placing his hands in his pocket. Seth chuckles at him. 'It always turns out interesting when he speaks his mind.' The council members muttered to each other; the high council member frowned at them "do I have to remind you that the reason for this rule is because of what happened 2,000 years ago with Decan. Mother a vampire, father werewolf. Decan the first hybrid of both kinds, was one of the most witch eaters"
Seth chuckled. 'Here we go...' Ronnie frowned. "So...because he went after witches you automatically believe that every other mixed breed will be the same as him? That's stupid. Since you brought that up, how about I remind you of something. The witch Valeriea. While her major threat was indeed regular humans, she would kill anyone who got in her way including those of her own kind, and what did you people do? You had her stripped her of her power and sealed her away in some godforsaken hole, hidden from the world really believing that she would just die and that was it. Did you ban witches from having kids after that? Why? Because Valeriea was a witch. Valeriea killed witches, warlocks, and different breeds from different races nearly starting a war, and nearly destroying the entire human race. So how far do you think that is? By your standards, since she also killed a bunch of witches, her kind shouldn't have kids in case something like that happens again am I right? What makes you all so special to the rest of us? How many lives did you all ruin because you all feared how advanced the world was getting? Do you see me putting together a council and tossing my weight around or hunting down every witch I see, making up rules about other races that are far out of my control? What you are doing holding a grudge and because of your ridiculous rules and banter, everything you are doing will one day come back and bite you all on the ass. Maybe open those thick heads of yours and remember that just because there was one rotten damn seed the whole bunch isn't going to turn rotten. You cannot control the fates forever. That's all I'm saying" Ronnie says sighing.
The high council's member was about to yell when a woman's voice ranged through the hall like magic "Enough!" the witches gasped, Ronnie and Seth can sense a high level of power enter the room. A woman appeared of light, standing not far from the, she was wearing an amazing green goddess dress and she was barefooted. She had very long ginger hair and bright green eyes. The witches gasped so loudly it made Ronnie's ears ring slightly. The Witches were down on their knees "L-Lady A-Althaea what an honor for you to grace us with your presence"
Althaea narrowed at him "The rules of what is forbidden aren't just decided by man!" The witch's eyes widen at what she had said. Ronnie shook his head. 'I swear...' Althaea sighs "leave us now" the witches frowned but got up and left the room. Althaea looked at Ronnie and Seth "forbidden rules that are decided by man, the soul mate red fate of strings is strong with Oichi and Sakamoto. They are not forbidden to have any future together" she said to them. Out of respect Ronnie and Seth bow slightly to her. "We thank you for your kindness." Seth says. "Also, for concluding that our grandchildren as soul mates."
Althaea smiled at them "as mother earth, you and even your children are my children" then she frowned "Ronnie, Seth, I must show you something" her body was covered by a galaxy aura when her fingertips touch their temples. Suddenly their eyes widen to see something they could not explain.
Looking around they saw a familiar spot in the forest. In front of them, a path opened. They followed it. Walking deeper into the forest they saw a large cave. "What do you think is going here." Seth asked. "I don't know but I wish the movie would hurry up and start." They both chuckled and went instead to the cave. They walked in deeper and started to hear chanting. Frowning they followed the chants, and the cave itself started to mold out. The sharp edges on the walls were smoother and the rocky floor became easier to walk on. There were torches on the wall, and it led them down a path and out into an opening. Their eyes widen as they saw a large alter with gigantic stones around it. There were statues of Valeriea in the corners of the cave and stairs that pointed out and down in four different ways. There they saw a massive amount of people down below the stairs. They were on their knees holding a candle. On the alter six people were standing around it waiting. "What is this...what are they waiting on." Seth says.
Suddenly the chanting they heard before started to get louder. On the right side of the stairs, the door opened, and a beautiful woman covered in all black walked in. Her face was hidden. She lifted her hand and motioned it forward. She walked to the altar and behind her floated Oichi who was passed out. Ronnie frowned. "Oichi..." Seth frowned as well. "I see...we must be looking into a future of some sort..." They watched as the woman went to the altar and placed Oichi down. "Simple-minded fools. If you want something right, I must do it myself." She walked into the alter. "Now we must begin before they swam us." She held up her hands and begin to chant. A dark aura surrounded her and Oichi as the chanting got louder and louder. The people below held their candles up high as they chanted as well.
"That must be Valeriea." Seth says. Ronnie was silent as they watched Oichi's body start to glow. Her body lifted it up as Valeriea lifted her hands. There was then a flash of bright light. So bright they had to cover their eyes. When the light dyed down so did the chants. Looking back at the alter they saw a light white aura around Oichi. Valeriea chuckled as she put her hands over Oichi's chest. "Now, your soul is mine little pup." She grabs the aura and pulls up and as she did Oichi's eyes snapped open, and she gasps out as her soul was removed from her body. When her soul has removed a harsh wave of air was let out blowing out all the candles. Ronnie and Seth could see Oichi's soul being shaped into a small ball with slightly blue sparks. Valeriea laughed loudly. "Finally!! My last pure soul!! I will cast this world into darkness! I will make those humans pay and I will finally have my revenge!!"
Just then they felt the cave shake. "Tisk...must have found us already..." She turned around with Oichi's soul and went back to the door. "I will not be denied my vengeance." She door and left with the six people that were up there with her. The remaining people scattered in different ways." Seth sighs. "So...this is it..." Ronnie jumped down and walked fast past Oichi. "Ronnie wait." Seth says jumped down with him. They made it up to the altar where one lit was still lit. Oichi was laying there with empty eyes. The white aura around her was fading as she took her last breath. Ronnie frowned as he saw her lips move. Seth saw it too, but he couldn't make out what she was saying but Ronnie did. He grips his fist and sighs. They were soon covered in the same galaxy aura and when the aura faded, they were back in the council room.
Ronnie and Seth both other their eyes. "So that's how it will end..." Seth says putting his hands in his pockets. "It looks like it." Ronnie says taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it. Seth looked at him. "You saw her final words did you not?" Ronnie nodded. "...Who did she call out for?" Ronnie blew out smoke. "Sakamoto...of course..." Seth closes his eyes. "I see..."
Althaea still glowing in her aura, her hair was floating around her "no matter what they do, the outcome will be the same" she said floating "Farewell Lords" she disappeared. Seth looked at Ronnie. "Now what dear friend?" Ronnie sighs as he blows out smoke. "Nothing, this doesn't change the plan we had. We already anticipated that she may not make it..." Seth frowned. "I see. Then shall I inform Sakamoto of what may happen?" "No, this stays between us for now." Seth nodded. "I understand."
The next day, Jess was moved to the Mikcloud manor, she was in the dojo in Bright Neon Paint Splatter Design Spandex Athletic Sports Bra, Bright Neon Paint Splatter Design Spandex Athletic shorts. River in front of her wearing Women's Molded Cup Mid Impact Sports Bra, High waist scaled mermaid capris leggings. They were both barefooted "I think it's time to reteach you lady Jess. It's time to start defending yourself, we are gonna be going through all the basics I have trained you in. First, ninjutsu" Jess nodded "yes sensei" River chuckled "Now let's began!" Rick peeking through the door can see Jess and River fighting, they were both blocking every attack, he smiled 'she's amazing' "Did they start?" Chida asked next to him, Rick nodded "Yeah, River is gonna re-teacher her everything..." Chida nodded "It's good for her when that man comes for her again" Rick bites his lip 'clover.... I'm gonna personally kill him.'
Oichi and Sakamoto were in her room for the day. Oichi was napping away while Sakamoto was studying something for his grandfather. He had decided that he was going to strive to take his place when Seth pass the title over. He knew that his father was next in line, but it wouldn't do him any good if he wasn't the one running things. He wouldn't have enough power and resources to protect Oichi. He had spoken to Seth about this last night and Seth agreed that it would be good for him to start learning the ways to rule after him just in case. However, he had to stay with Seth on Thursdays and Fridays for training and he had to go home on Mondays to learn some things from his father. He didn't want to but for Oichi's sake he would put up with it.
There was a knock on the door and Yain opened it. "I thought you wouldn't be back until Monday." Sakamoto says reading. Yain walked in and closed the door behind him. "I heard what happened yesterday. How is she?" Sakamoto looked over at Oichi. "She's tired but that's about it. It was quite a shocker though. I didn't know forms like that existed. Do you have one?" Yain nods. "Yes." He holds up his tattoo. "However, I cannot control it like I want to. That is why I have this seal on my arm." He walked over to the couch and sat on it. "Do you plan on leaving the house today?" Sakamoto lays back in the bed. "No, Oichi is one of her deep sleeps so I don't know when she will wake up and I have studying to do. Danni is out shopping, and we are having steak for dinner tonight." "I see..." He lays on the couch and closes his eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep. Sakamoto shook his head. One thing he did like about being here is that it is very peaceful here.
Kaci was walking through the woods, he was flying until he felt a familiar aura, this made him land down and walk toward the aura. The tree he found was Weeping Willow on Lake Bank, blinking it he walked to the trunk of it, and he can see an arm hanging from a thick branch. Chuckling mentally, he jumped up landing on the branch with a soft, there on the branch was Ross sleeping. Kaci smiled softly at him 'I guess he can sleep anywhere; trees must be comfy' "Ross" he softly said rubbing his arm. Ross opens one of his eyes and sighs before closing it. "What is it, Kaci. I'm trying to take a nap." He says yawning. Kaci chuckled "I was flying by and sensed you, so you like sleeping trees?"
"As you can see." Ross says. There was a 2nd branch really close to the branch Ross was laying on, Kaci laid down on it "me too, there's this big tree in the Meyer's estate I like to go up on it at night, it's so peaceful" Kaci turned on his facing Ross, his heart was pounding "what would you say if I told you I know someone who has a crush on you....?" "tell them to get in line...or I'm not interested. Something on the line of that. Or tell them that I eat hearts for breakfast or something to scare them away, so they won't bother me." Ross says putting his arms behind his back and steadying himself on the branch to fall back to sleep.
Kaci frowned reached out and landed above Ross and Kaci was over him, Ross's eyes opened to see Kaci above him, and Kaci's eyes were glowing red, Kaci growled slightly making Ross confused, Kaci leaned down connecting his lips with Ross's making Ross's eyes widen. He could feel the dark angelic aura being fed to him like a meal.
Ross didn't move or kiss back. Kaci leaned up then stood up and his wings came out "maybe the person who likes you doesn't care what you are and what you eat" then Kaci jumped up flying off leaving Ross there. Ross sighs and gets comfortable. "If you didn't have that angel after taste, I might have enjoyed that." Ross says yawning and falling back asleep.
At Oichi's house, Oichi was still sleeping. Yain and Sakamoto were downstairs, and the window was open. The man from yesterday dropped down on the window seal very silently. He jumps down and walks over to Oichi. He then pulls out a dagger and held it over her throat. "It would be so easy...so easy to rip your throat out." He draws it closer. "Not yet...just a little longer before you belong to the master..." He turns away and quickly disappears just as Sakamoto opened the door. Sakamoto frowned and sniffed around. He had a weird vibe that someone was in here." He narrowed his eyes and walked to the window. He then closed it. "Weird..." He then heard Oichi stir. Her eyes opened and she sat up. "Meito..." She mumbles out. Sakamoto smiled and walked to her. "Hey Ichi. How did you sleep." Oichi rubs her eyes. "Okay...I'm hungry though." Sakamoto chuckled and grabbed her hand. "I figured that so today while we have the house alone, we are going to cook together." Oichi blushed. "Together?" "Yup, I called Ms. Danni and she said it was okay. So up you get." Oichi giggled and grabbed his hand as he led her to the kitchen.
Outside on the roof, the man sat there silently. "Only a matter of time dear sister..."
Dawn walked out of the Ravenswood food market with a cart full of groceries. Pushing the kart to her car, she popped the trunk and started to put the bags in the trunk of her car. Finishing, closing it she felt someone dark behind her, she turned fast to see Clover glaring at her deadly. She gasped as he reached for her grabbing her by the hair making her yelp "Where is your whor* of a daughter?!!" Dawn frowned at him "I'm not telling you! How dare you try and sell her blood!" Clover growled then smirked "I think I need to send a message to your daughter" Dawn shook in fear, but her magic flared up making him gasp "Come to me lord of lighting! Sherka!" she cast as a white tiger appeared before them, Clover sucked in fear shock letting go of Dawn. The tiger growled then it roared has a powerful Lightning bolt came down hitting Clover dead on, he screamed in pain. Dawn's eyes glowed green "you think you can outfight me, let me show you why they call me the Mikcloud princess of destruction! Sherka!" the Lion roared again as lightning appeared around him. People were gasping in shock backing up, Sherka charged at Clover. Clover recovered and quickly used his speed to dodge her and rushed to dawn appearing next to her. HE grabbed her making her gasp "SHERKA!" Sherka roared and rushed over to help her summon but Clover smirked and moved too quickly as his fangs pierce her neck making Dawn gasp in pain then screamed. Sherka reached them making Clover let Dawn go. Sherka growled as a lightning shield appeared around them, Sherka was guarding her protectively. Clover chuckled darkly as blood went down his chin "give your daughter a message with your death Dawn, soon your body will die with my venom running through you" he disappeared. Dawn fell to the ground, Sherka turned to her and shuffled a noise to her in concern. Dawn held her neck "Sherka... take me to my brother quickly..." she said to her, Sherka nodded her head and kneeled down letting down climb on her and Sherka dashed with a sound of roaring lightning.
There was a knock at the door. Oichi opened it to see her younger cousin Terry standing there. "Hi Ter! What's up!" Terry smiled. "Oichi!" He pounced on her hugging her. Oichi giggled. "It's nice to see you Ter. So why the visit." She says slipping out of his hug. Terry pouted and closed the door. "I've been sent to tell you some news about Uncle Axel and Uncle Dorian." Oichi frowned. Yain sitting down at the kitchen table frowned. "Those two bastards..." Sakamoto walked to the living room. "Which one cursed you?" "That would be Uncle Dorian, Grandpa's brother. Uncle Axel is my papa's brother. Terry walked over to the couch and sat down. "I have to be quick so that I can get back to the house. I left Ty and Kim with Eric and you know how that goes." Oichi nods and sits down in front of him. "Uncle Axel has escaped from prison." Oichi frowned. "He has..." "Yes, your dad thinks he will come for Ms. Lily first, but you would be the next he comes after. He wants you to be on your guard, especially with all the weird stuff that is going on." Oichi nodded and about..." Terry signs. "...He's been spotted in the forest but every time we send scouts to check it out, they either go missing or we find their bodies."
Oichi looks down. "He's coming for me..." Oichi says holding Sakamoto's hand. "They all are coming for me now..." She shakes a bit making Sakamoto frown. He looked at Terry. "No one has given me the full story on what's happening. Can you fill me in on the history of Axel and Dorian?" Terry frowned. "Really? I would have thought Auntie would have. Very well I'll make it quick."
"Axel is the younger brother of Uncle Dante. He was a pretty cool and chill dude. Funny and smart. He liked building stuff but one day when he was on a trip to collect materials, he lost his family to a ground of hunters, and it made him go crazy. Because of that, he attacked one of our family members and I can't really go into much detail about that. Anyways after Axel lost his mind, he got the idea in his mind being that the only way that any of the children could be safe is to kill them. He started to kidnap the children of the clan and kill them left and right but when he got to Oichi, Uncle Dante and Ms. Lily stopped him before it was too late and threw him into a jail made of wood blessed by Deerward himself. Being there for years his mind must have cracked more because now all he can think about is that killing Oichi is the only way she can be truly protected from any and everything."
Sakamoto frowned. "Right...you've never seen it before, right?" Oichi nodded. "Yea, I was very little I think when he first came for me, but Papa got to him first." Sakamoto sighs. "Okay then...what about Dorian?" Terry crossed his arms. "Dorian is a bit hard to explain. Even I don't know the full history. All I know is that he attacked Oichi as a baby and had been trying to kidnap her ever since...also...I'm not sure if you are aware but the scars on Oichi's back..." "I know, they are made by him." Terry frowned. "Yes, but that's not all. I believe your grandfather knows but the weapon and poison he used...was that of your grandmother." Sakamoto's eyes widen and so did Oichi's. "Wait...What!? Grandfather told me that someone simply from your clan killed her..." Terry sighs. "True but it was Dorian, grandpa's brother..." Oichi covered her mouth and then looked at Sakamoto who was just in shock. "That's why she hates me..." Oichi says. Sakamoto looked at her as she tears up. "Makoto...she must know the truth...Dorian killed your grandmother and made weapons from her to harm me...she must know this and that's why she hates me." She slides away from Sakamoto who frowns. Oichi covers her face. "I knew it...I'm just a curse pup who brings ruins to everyone. If I would have never left my hut, then...then maybe..."
Sakamoto grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "What's done is done...there isn't anything we can do about that now Ichi. I told you that I don't care about the past. I am shocked that grandfather did not tell me this, but he must have his reason and now I also understand more about Makoto's hate. I knew that she hated you because your clan killed grandmother, but I didn't know who. Seeing grandfather Seth and your grandfather must have pissed her off more..." He sighs. He held Oichi close to him. "Don't worry, I don't blame you for anything that has happened. Life gave you a crappy hand but it's okay. I won't leave your side no matter what." Oichi smiles and nods as she wipes the tears from her eyes.
Terry smiled. "Aw, you guys are cute! Anyways I haven't told Grandpa so I'm not sure what he will do so for now, you have been ordered to stay in the house until auntie Danni gets home." Oichi sighs. "Understood. Please be safe and thank you for the update on the matters." Terry nodded. "Of course. See ya later Cuz and stay safe." He got up and let himself out. Oichi sigh. "This entire week has been nothing but hell..." Oichi says sniffing. Sakamoto wrapped his arm around her. "Yeah, but things will get better." Yain sitting on the couch got up. He scratched his ears. He had heard something, but he wasn't sure what it was. "I'm going to go out and scout around. Please stay in the house no matter what." Oichi sighs and nods. "Okay..."
Jetter in his study was putting papers away when a sound of shuffling made him turn. There was Sherka's in her white tiger form, on her back was Dawn panting weakly "Sherka..?! Dawn...?!" Jetter rushed over and helped Dawn off Sherka "Dawn what happened?" Dawn looked up at her brother weakly "brother.... Clover...." Jetter bites his lip and then noticed the bite on her neck, his eyes widen. He picked up "It's alright sister, everything is gonna be okay" Dawn smiled weakly then passed out in his arm. Jetter looked at Sherka "go to Jess and bring her to the lap" Sherka nodded and rushed out the room. Jetter stands up with Dawn in his arms headed for the lab.
Back in the dojo, Jess was on the tatami mats panting. River chuckled standing over her "hell of a workout ah?" Jess chuckled "Yeah!" River helped her up as Rick clapped his hands "Amazing! You two were really awesome" Jess flushed "Thank you hun" River chuckled then see's Sherka walk in. she blinked at her "Sherka" Jess and Rick looked to see the white tiger. Jess smiled "Sherka why are you here? Did mom summon you?" Sherka stopped then her tiger body shined, and she transformed into her human form. Black paid skirt with white collar shirt tucked under the skirt. Black tie. White tiger-printed tights and black flats. White gloves that had a white tiger print on them. Short tiger-style hair with her tiger ears and tail. Her eyes were white-grey. "Lady Jess, you must come with me... your mother was attacked by Clover, she's in the lab with your uncle" Jess's eyes widen, and rushed out of the room, fear had struck her. Rick gasped "JESS" he rushed after her.
Didn't take long for Jess to get down to the lab, the lab was like a futuristic medical room, something new. Yes, Jetter still had his magic lab but this lab he would rather use. Jess rushed over to see her mother in the bed with a high-tech scanning ring around it. Monitors showed her mother's vitals and an IV hooked up to her mother's arm. Jetter was looking at the screen of the results of her mothers' blood. "Uncle... how is she?" Jetter turned to her and frowned "Not good... Clover's venom is destroying her body... I need Zach here to help me..." Rick next to Jess nodded and took out his phone to call his father. Jess stepped to her mother, dawn was still very much passed out. Her body shook from the venom and pain. Jess held her mother's hand "Mama...." Tears came from her eyes "I think you should let Danni know..." Jetter said, Rick, hanged up the phone "Father is on his way" Jetter nodded "Good, I need his help..." Jess kissed her mother's hand "I'll be right back I'm gonna call Danni" she said putting down her mother's hand and stepping away taking out her phone. Dialing Danni's number.
It rang three or four times before she picked up. "Hello?" Jess sniffed "Danni.... Mama was attacked by clover...." She heard a sigh. "That man is becoming a real thorn in the ass...if it's alright I'd like to come to see her. I wouldn't feel right if I wasn't by her side or something." She says.
"Of course, Danni, Sherka will wait for you and show you down here" Jetter said over Jess's shoulder "Danni... I want you to be ready... for worse..." Jess closed her eyes as tears run down them.
"I have lived through two wars and bit far worst dear. You are the one who needs to prepare for this. You are going to have to be strong for your mother." Jess nodded "alright Danni, see you here. You gonna bring Oichi...?" "No, I have to call and let her know. She is in lockdown at the house on my father's orders. I will be there shortly." She says hanging up.
Jess frowned 'on lockdown....' "Jetter" they turned to see Zach walking over. Jetter looked pleased to see him "Zach about time, I need help.... Nothing is working... your brother's venom is still destroying her body...." Zach frowned and stepped over to Dawn looking over her and seeing some of her blood on her hand, picking her hand gently he licked her finger to taste it but spit it out right away. The look on Zach's face was shocked and he was scared "How did he get this in his own venom...." Rick frowned "Father what is it....?" Jess looked worried "Zach..." Jetter frowned "Zach what is in her body..." Zach closed his eyes "Kanima venom.... It's, even more, deadlier than werewolf a bite, a Kanima bite is highly toxic... how in the hell did he get this mixed within his own fangs...." Jetter frowned "Is there any way to cure it...?" Zach shook his head "Jetter no there isn't...." Jess then broke down, tears went down her face "No... NO! Zach, there has to be!" Zach shook his head "Jessica I'm sorry...." Jess fell making Rick catch her "Jess calm down, I'm here" Jess was in tears and screamed "No...!!"
Oichi was pacing in her room as she waited. Danni had called her and told her about what happened, and she wanted to be there, but she was on lockdown at the house now. The moment she steps foot outside there was a high possibility that she could be attacked. She didn't want to make this situation more complicated than it already was. She didn't need everyone to worry about her while they should be focused on Dawn. Oichi sigh. "What the hell is going on this week..." Sakamoto was sitting on the bed watching her pace. He didn't like seeing her like this but when she paced, he could keep an eye on her and won't have to worry about her jumping through the window like last time. Yain had texted him saying that he was on his way back now but even so it would still be a challenge to keep Oichi from doing anything silly. Oichi stopped. "...Meito who is this Clover guy that keeps attacking Jess and her family." Sakamoto frowned. "I don't know much about him, but he is Zachs brother. I also know he pitched a fit when he learned that Rick and Jess were soul mates. So...he might be ticked that the bloodline won't be pure anymore." Oichi frowned. "Is having a pure bloodline so important that you have to kill someone?" "Yeah, it's not unheard of really. Some purebloods want their bloodline to stay pure some don't care. Some refuse to accept that in this day and age you can't help falling in love with someone from a different race than yours such as Rick and Jess or me and You." Oichi stomps her foot in anger. "It doesn't justify trying to kill people!"
Sakamoto sighs and motions her to come by patting his lap. She walked over to him and lays down on top of him. "Pour auntie...poor Jess...they are caught up in something so stupid and it's not even their fault." She says tearing up. "Because one person is too selfish to see true love between two people despite where they came from. It's not fair." She cries out. Sakamoto rubs her back. "I know hun...I know..."
Danni drove up to the Mikcloud manor. Parking her car, she turned it off and rushed to the front door which opened for her, rushing inside "Danni?" Danni turned to Sherka, her tail waged slightly behind her. "This way" she said walking to the right.
Danni nodded as Sherka led her to the lab. Not long after they reached the lab, Danni stepped into the room to see Jess tearing quietly holding her mother's hand. Jetter and Zach were looking over her vitals. Rick was rubbing Jess's back trying to comfort her the best he could. Danni stepped closer she could see how bad Dawn looked. Her heart rate was low, Jetter noticed her and frowned "Danni..."
"Yeah. That looks bad." She said frowning. Zach stepped away from the monitor and to Danni "Danni... she's dying... her body can't take the toxic bite from a Kanima..." Danni crossed her arms and walked up to look at Dawn. "Yeah, those things are deadly...father told me about them at one point. How did your brother even get something like this..."
Zach held up a vile, it had red with some black stuff in it "This my brothers' venom, the red is his, but the black stuff is the Kanima venom.... This was mixed among my brothers... I don't know how he did it but he had someone experiment on him to mix his venom with Kanima" Jetter sighs "I know a way to stop it, but it won't be permanent... until we find a way to cure her" Danni sighs mentally. "You should do whatever you can to keep her alive. It sucks but it sounds like the only way for now."
Hearing a groan everyone looked as Dawn was waking up, Jess sniffed "Mama..." Dawn smiled weakly "Jess sweetheart" Jess sniffed, Dawn blinked "Oh sweety why are you crying?" Jess held her hand more. Jetter touched her arm "Dawn... your body is dying... Kanima venom... and you know there is no cure" Dawn frowned and then noticed Danni "Danni.."
Danni flashed her a smile. "No need to worry Dawn. Everything will be fine. You will be on your feet real soon again. We got a lot of smart people out here so one of them is going to make that cure for ya okay." Dawn closed her eyes "Jetter I'm ready" Jess frowned "No mama..." Dawn smiled at her and then opened her eyes "Jess I love you, I love Danni, I love Oichi... we will see each other soon, Rick please take care of her..." Jess's eyes widen "No...!" Rick nodded he took Jess and dragged her away while she was screaming in tears "NO! mama...!"
Dawn reached for Danni who took her hand "Danni, please take care of her for me...? I know she has the boys, but she needs you and Oichi more than ever" Danni smiled and rubbed her hand. "I will Dawn. I promise you."
Jetter held up a syringe and injected it into the IV "It won't hurt just put you to sleep" Dawn smiled, and her eyes closed. Her monitors beeped as she was in an induced coma "alright Zach let's get her into the stasis pod I have" Zach nodded picking Dawn up. He and Jetter walked off with Dawn into another room. Danni sitting there, as Jess rushed back in and sees her mother in the room. Jess looked down "Mom...."
Danni looked at her and closed her eyes. She then opens then and gets up and walks to Jess. Rubbing her back she smiles softly. "Your mother is a very strong woman. You should know that better than anyone. A cure will be found, and she will be back with you sooner than you think."
At the house, out of frustration, Oichi had cried herself to sleep on Sakamoto's lap. He was rubbing her back as he waited for Danni to call them back. Outside the man who had been lurking outside now had a black bow and arrow in his hands. The arrows were drenched in poison. The same poison that had been affecting Oichi's back. He had a small earpiece in his ear. "Yes sir...it seems a vampire named Clover has taken the attention off of her for a while..." He points the air at Oichi's window and aimed for her shoulder. "I have a clear shot master. I can easily take her life now...yes master...I understand..." The man aimed perfectly at Oichi's shoulder. "A warning...do not kill...just a warning..." He moved it instead to Sakamoto's neck. "A warning in form of a dead body..." He let go of the arrow and watched it fly.
In the room, Oichi's eyes widen as she smelled the poison. She sat up startling Sakamoto. She pushed him out the way just in time as the arrow struck her in her arm. Sakamoto's eyes widen as they both fell off the bed. "Oichi!?" "Shh!!" She says dragging him to the floor. "Your arm..." Oichi looked at the arrow and bit her lip. He reached over to pull it out, but she smacked it away. "No! This arrow is mixed in strong toxins just like the one on my back. If you touch it then you might get infected. Even if you don't have a wound on you the poison can still paralyze you." "Oichi..." Oichi sighs as she grabbed the arrow. "Since I'm already poisoned by this all it does to me is slow my ability to heal. I will be okay." She says smiling. She pulled out the arrow and hissed out in pain. Her shoulder started to bleed quickly.
"Lady Oichi!?" They heard Yain yell out. He opened the door and he quickly ducked just in time to avoid another arrow. "sh*t! Is he still here?" Sakamoto says. "He picked the perfect time..." Oichi sighs out as she held her shoulder. Yain growls out and heads for the window. He jumps out and saw the man on the roof with a bow and arrow. He growled and jumped out. The man quickly took off with Yain on his tail. Sakamoto got up. "Yain must be chasing him away." He helped Oichi up and took her to the bathroom and closed the door. "Shirt off Oichi." Oichi nodded as she removed her shirt. Sakamoto opened the bottom of the sink and grabbed a first aid kit. "I'm sure Danni or Samuel or really your whole wolf pack smells your blood by now. So, someone should be here soon." Sakamoto says as he started to treat Oichi's shoulder wound.
Oichi tenses up. "Oichi...forgive me." Sakamoto says. Oichi looks at him. "I'm here thinking of ways to protect you and I didn't even notice we were being watched all day. He was so close to us that he was able to shoot an arrow at me. You took the shot for me...and protect me instead. I'm such a crappy boyfriend." Oichi smiles. "You're not. We are in the same boat. I couldn't tell someone was out there. He had to be wearing something that blocked his scent. I was able to smell the poison on the arrow, so he had to be at least one or two rooftops away...I know you are doing your best to protect me so I'm not mad or anything. I'm glad you're trying hard to do your best hee hee." Sakamoto smiles slightly but he still felt bad. He patched her arm up but the bleeding didn't stop. "Hopefully Samuel is on his way. I'm no good with this first aid stuff." Oichi chuckled. "Yeah, you kinda suck at this."
Jetter was checking the monitors of the stasis pod, and every time the stasis to the venom running through Dawn's body would blink red. Jetter frowned as Zach stepped from behind him "Jetter what's wrong? We have to get her in the pod" Jetter turned to him "it won't work... it will put her body and mind to sleep but the venom wouldn't, it would slow it down, but it would slowly kill her while she's in stasis sleep." Zach frowned at this "Then what do we do?" Jetter frowned "I don't know...." Then an idea popped in his head "I know, bring her and follow me" Zach blinked at him but nodded picking Dawn back up, and he followed Jetter.
Reaching an area that had an elevator that was glass three glass sides, the back wall was metal with some device, the bottom was metal with a wooden floor covering. Zach raised an eyebrow "An elevator?" Jetter nodded stepping over to, something that came from the ceiling it did a scan on Jetter. Beeping green "Recognize, Lord Jetter Falcon Mikcloud" it went back up to the ceiling has the glass elevator door opened and Jetter stepped in "Zach get in" Zach nodded and stepped in with Dawn in his arms. Jetter reached out and put his thump on a scan which scanned and pricked, and the screen turned green. Jetter then reached out to the bottom pressing it down, the elevator soon went down.
Zach watched on the glass sides going down the lit tunnel shaft "Sow ere are we going?" Jetter closes his eyes and sighs "Zach you have to give me your word that you will not speak of what you will see" Zach blinked at him but nodded "Of course, Jetter you have my word" Jetter nodded "good" Reaching the bottom the door opened. Both stepped out into a Triangle Dark Empty Corridor with Door and Purple And Blue Neon Glowing Tube Lights. Zach whistled "Wow you are going all futuristic" Jetter chuckled "I know you also have tons of technology upgrades to your kingdom" Zach chuckled "Well it's the 21st century of course"
Reaching the door, the door scanned Jetter Beeping green "Recognize, Lord Jetter Falcon Mikcloud" The door opened sideways, right away Zach felt a powerful magical aura, it made his body ripple from this powerful aura 'what is this powerful aura... it's like divine almost...' Jetter stepped in, and Zach followed feeling nervous. Stepping into a room, his eyes widen. In a circle dark room there in the middle of the room floating and circling around was a big Lacrima Crystal. Aura was smoking of it with power, Jetter looked at Zach "bring her over here" Zach stepped over with Dawn in her arms "Jetter... this is a Lacrima.... I thought the Lacrima crystal was destroyed..... after Regina passed away" Jetter shook his head "This Lacrima Crystal is a powerful magical artifact, according to legend, the Crystal is of divine origin and was bestowed to humanity from Manon. The witches used to harness Crystal's power for more power, but Regina came along, and Manon gave her a task to protect the crystal from being misused. Has the years gone by the crystal had tied with the Mikcloud bloodline, Regina described the Crystal as a chrysalis to the soul of the Mikcloud family... After she died the council had ordered its destruction because if it got in the wrong hands, it would be used to destroy all life, that is why we hid deep doing here in a chamber that shield's its aura and power. Zach placed Dawn in front of it" Zach was taken back by this but did it anyway. Stepping over he lifted her up to move and felt Dawn's body hover in his arms. Moving his arms and moving away from Dawn, Dawn floated there as the aura of the crystal started to wrap around Dawn.
They both watched as Dawn's body was pulled closer and closer to the crystal, then Zach's eyes widen to see Dawn's body go into the crystal-like it was liquid inside. Fully in her body floated inside. Zach looked at Jetter "Jetter what happen?" Jetter smiled "She is asleep in the crystal" he walked to the monitor pushing some buttons has the crystal's level results were showing has Dawn's vitals showed along with it. Typing could of buttons, there was a ding as it went green, Jetter smirked "it worked, the venom is in stasis along with dawn" Zach looked shocked but was glad "amazing.... Jetter I never knew Regina made that order for the family to keep this hidden... and I was one of her close friends..." Jetter chuckled "I know, come let's head back up" Zach nodded.
Out of town and back into the forest, Yain and now Terry and a few other werewolves were scouting around looking for the mystery man. At the house, it was surrounded by Ronnie's men until he or Danni got there. Samuel had been ordered to look after Oichi and tend to her shoulder injury. Terry sniffs the ground as they stopped. "Dammit...still nothing." Yain frowned and turned to the others. "Spread out. If you find something don't go seeking on your own, bring the info back to us." The others nod and scatter in different directions. Yain crossed his arms. "How could I be so careless..." Terry sighs. "The guy must have something cloaked over him or something. Anyways, we can't stand here all day blaming ourselves. Let's at least try to find some sign of the guy." Yain nodded and then rushed off deeper into the forest.
Deeper into the forest and out of sight, the man was walking in a light river. He had his bow on his back and two more arrows just in case. He walked a little more way before coming up to an open cave. As he walked the water rose up almost to his knees. Inside the cave was pitch black but the man could easily see where he was going. He got out of the river and stepped on the path that led him deeper inside. The river path started to turn into a greenish-blue color reflexing off the cave ceiling. He walked for a few more minutes until the water started to turn bright blue. He could hear water rushing down. The path he was on started to get smoother and the heels of his shoes even started to click loudly, echoing through the cave. Finally, he reached another opening where he heard someone talking.
"Dear husband...are you sure that this is such a grand idea." "Silence your tongue woman, I told you to leave." He heard a chuckle. "My love, no matter how much you tell me to leave I will not leave your side. It is a wife's duty to support her husband no matter what path he chooses." He heard a sigh. "Fine. Do whatever you please."
The man walked out and was welcomed by a bright light. He looked down under his feet to see that the path he was walking on was made out of marble. In front of him was the end of the pathway that led to a very large sheet of water. At the edge, a young woman with black hair and eyes, wearing a black kimono, was holding a towel and standing next to a chair. She looked toward the man and frowned. "My dearest. He is back." In the water with his back turned and sitting down, there was a man with short white hair. He stood up out of the water. His body was full of scars. Turning around the man takes a knee. "Master Dorian. I have returned." "Hibiki..." Dorian calls out to her. Hibiki smiled and handed him the towel. "Here you are, my love." Taking the towel and wrapping it around his waist he took a seat on the small chair that was placed down. "Report to me boy." "Sir...as before the defenses of Ronnie are spread thin. I was able to get two shots off the princess before her bodyguard could come after me. Even so, I sense that it took a while before any of the troops could cover the house. Lady Danni was nowhere in sight and it seems Ronnie is not even in town." The man chuckled. "My idiot brother, He is here alright. No doubt messing with that fitly vampire Seth. I swear, I should have taken his head when I had the chance. I thought after taking the life of his wife he would have hated the Tanka family." He smirked. "No matter, I never thought getting through their defenses was so easy. Seems like these peaceful times have been getting in the way." He looks down at his hand. "Once I have my hand on that wretched pup, I'll gain the power that was supposed to be mine, kill my brother and his entire worthless family, and rule the kingdom as its true leader. The time for the Tanaka clan is coming to end I will make sure that it is ended by my own two hands." He closed it and let out nefarious laughter.
Weeks later, it was now October 31, Halloween it was 6:30 pm. Jess was in her room looking at herself in the mirror, she was in her Spider Gwen Stacy Spandex Lycra Zentai outfit and blue Chuck Taylor converse with red innovative designs on it. She smiled and slipped on the mask that she created, it wasn't a full mask like a spider Gwen has it was half cut and showed the lower part of her face, mouth, and nose. She had a light pink matte lip sick on, and her glovers were cut giving the fingerless look. Her nails were painted themed on spider-Gwen.
A knock on the door made her look, Rick walked in wearing his spider-man Spandex Lycra Zentai outfit, he had on black chuck Taylor with red innovative designs on it. Jess smiled "wow look at you" Rick chuckled under his mask "you look amazing" Jess flushed "you ready to go" he asked. Jess nodded "Yeah let me get my bag and Razer phone" she said picking up her bag and her phone. Putting her phone in her bag she left the room with Rick.
Over at Oichi's, Oichi was fixing Sakamoto's mask. He was dressed in a beaked mask and robes worn by plague doctors of the 17th-18th century. Oichi herself was dressed in a classic Victorian damask pattern skirt with a black corset over a white shirt. The skirt was tied up in the front showing her legs. She had on knee-high black high heel boots and black hair on her head. She giggled. "I don't like you hiding your face, but you look so cool!!" Oichi says smiling. Sakamoto chuckled. "It's a good thing I did get my hair cut." Oichi giggled and grabbed her camera. "I'm making a book of all the outfits I hand made so strike a pose Meito!" Sakamoto chuckled and pose as she snapped a picture.
Just then the door opened, and Yain and Florina walked in. Cia didn't like dances so she wasn't coming so Florina would be coming with them instead. "Oichi! Thank so you much!!" Florina says. She hopped in wearing a sleeves button brown shirt, regular black leggings with a pair of shorts under them, Brown boots, and white gloves with pink on the inside. She had her brown hair extensions in, and it was pulled into two thick long ponytails with a bunny bow on top. She was going as Lopunny from Pokémon. Yain sighs. "Are we all ready to go?" Oichi and Florina smiled at him. They had managed to convince Yain to wear a costume and Oichi made him a leafeon outfit. He was wearing a tan shirt and jacket with army camouflage pants and boots, fingerless gloves, a tan scarf around his head, and pieces of green scarfs that were cut into leaf shapes. He sighed making the girls giggle. "First thing first, I have to take a picture and then we will be ready." Florina hops over to Yain and stands close to him with a red face and smiles. Yain gave a blank look, but it fit his outfit and gave off this cool vibe. Oichi snapped a picture. "Okay! Time to go." "Hold on, you haven't taken a picture of yourself." Sakamoto says. Yain grabbed the camera. "Smile." Oichi puts her hands behind her back and smiles. Yain snaps the picture. "There now can we go." Oichi chuckled and grabbed her bag and phone. "Do you hate wearing that so bad?" "Yes and no...it's not uncomfortable but I don't see the big deal in wearing this." Sakamoto shook his head. "Live a little. Let's go before we are late."
Within 5 minutes, Jess and Rick drove up to the school. It was already packed, and they see Students entering the lunch area where the part was at. Parking the car, Jess and Rick got out of the car and headed for the entrance. Holding hands walked together, reaching the entrance, MR greenly wearing a black tux and masquerade mask was taking a ticket. Jess and Rick were up, Mr. Greenly smiled "Ticket" Rick handed them their ticket. Ripping the ends, he handed them back "go on in" They smiled and headed inside. The lunchroom was amazingly designed and has a hellfire theme. It was dark in the room, but the only light was the flame-red like lights in the room. Music was playing and students were dancing and mingling. Rick sees his brother and walks over to him. Chida was in his dark prince outfit making him even more mysterious and dark, Jess smiled "Chida!" Chida turned to look at her and he grinned "Jess! You look amazing!" Jess giggled "Thanks" Rick nodded "You are telling me; I want nothing more to take it off her" Jess flushed under her mask-making Chida laugh.
Oichi and the others soon pulled up. Getting out of the car they stopped to take a few pictures with some fellow classmates and then went to the lunch area. "How long are we staying..." Yain says sighing. Oichi and Sakamoto were holding hands as they walked in front of Yain and Florina. "For the whole party silly. Don't worry, you don't have to do anything but sit and eat for the rest of the night. Consider it a small break." Oichi says. "You know very well I can't do that my lady." "Then I order you to enjoy yourself." Oichi says putting her hand up and waving it. "In fact, since you are watching my back tonight why don't you also watch out for Flo too." Florina blushed. "Wha...me? No, I'm fine." "Your super clumsy and you have a habit of bumping into bullies so it would make me happier if Yain watched out for you. Plus, Cia asked all of us to look after you and that's what friends do okay?" She glances at Florina and winks at her. Florina's cheeks turned red. "O-Okay then. Thank you..." She glances over to Yain as her heart pounds quickly in her chest.
Giving their tickets up, they entered the area and ran in Ross who was dressed as Scorpion from mortal combat. "My dark princess is finally here!" He says chuckling under the mask. Oichi smiled. "Ross! Hi um, who are you?" "Scorpion from Mortal combat. Then again you don't play games so I'm not all that shocked that you didn't know. So how about I show you a favorite move of mine. You are going to love it." "A favorite move?" Ross chuckled and took out a chain. He tossed it and it wrapped around Oichi's waist. "Eh...what are you...!" "Get over here!!" Ross yelled out as he pulled Oichi with the chain. Oichi gasps out as she was pulled into Ross's arm. Sakamoto sighs out. "Really Ross..." Ross chuckled. "I couldn't help myself. I didn't think that would really work though." They walked over to him. Oichi pulled herself away and he removed the chain from around her. "HeeHee, I do admit that was kinda cool." She says giggling. Ross smiled at her. "See I told you that you were going to love it."
"Oichi!" Oichi looked to see Dustin walking over wearing Trunks cosplay, Kaci was next to him dressed up as Vincent valentine.
"Hey! You guys look cool too." She says waving. Dustin chuckled "you look amazing" Kaci next to him looked at Ross then looked away "I'm gonna go find Jess and rick" he walked away. Dustin signs "sorry about him... well then shall we go look for Jess?" he smiled. "Sure. It's next on the agenda since we are all here." Oichi says nodding.
At Chida's table, Jess and Rick were sitting with him. Jess looked around "Where is Mikey, Ronnie, and Nicky?" Chida sighed "Nick got grounded and Ronnie and Mikey are working... sucks really, the only one is here is Davey and he's somewhere with some girl" Jess shook her head but gasped to see Oichi, Sakamoto, Ross, and Dustin. "Oichi!"
Oichi waved. "Hey! Everyone just looks so cool tonight haha. Happy Birthday too!" Oichi says smiling. Sakamoto looked around. "Aren't we missing two?" "I asked Yain to sit with Flo and her friends." Oichi says giggling. They all took a seat. "So now what..." Oichi asked with a confused look on her face. Ross sat beside her. "Now we eat, dance, and then home for some special lovin' isn't that right you two." He says chuckling at Jess and Rick.
Dustin smiled and kissed Jess's cheek "Yes happy birthday" Jess giggled "Thank you" Chida chuckled "Yes Happy birthday" Jess smiled, and Dustin looked at Rick "Did you wish her a happy birthday?" Rick grinned "Oh I did more than wished her it" Jess's face turned red, and Dustin and Chida laughed. "I rest my case." Ross says leaning back in his chair.
"Cousin Ross!" Ross turned to see Mara walk up to him, Inspired by Seraph of the End Krul Tepes dress and boot heels. Ross's eyes widen slightly "Mara what are you wearing?" Jess and the other looked and Jess gasped "Mara! You look like a demon or vampire princess" Dustin chuckled "Un-angel of your" Mara flushed "Ross you look awesome and Happy birthday Jess" Jess smiled brightly "Thank you Mara!" "Well, it is Halloween. A day you can be whatever the hell you want to be." Ross says shrugging.
Nubia appeared next to her cosplaying Seikatsu Emilia from the anime Re Zero "Hello everyone and happy birthday Jess" Jess giggled "thank you Nubia and wearing something like that..." Nubia chuckled. "As long as she's happy there is nothing wrong with that." Ross says.
Jess then squeaked when she felt someone hugging from behind her, Rick frowned "Damien!" Damien chuckled "Happy birthday Jess, 16 now" Jess around and her eyes sparkled "Damien! You cosplaying Jin Kazama from Tekken 4" yup he was wearing the hoodie jacket denim and canvas made include faux leather gloves. Damien chuckled "Well everyone looks amazing"
A good techno song came on and Jess gasped "Come on girls, boys stay here" she said taking Oichi's hand and dragging her over to the dance floor. Mara and Nubia giggled followed them. Rick sighed and sat down "well then" Chida, Dustin and Damien chuckled.
On the dance floor, Oichi was putting her earbuds in. Her ears couldn't take too much of the techno music. She then simply rocked back and forth to the music. She never understood techno with all the weird sounds and mixes, but it was better than what her mother had her listen to.
After a while, a slow song was playing, and Jess was now slow dancing with Rick. She giggled putting her head on his shoulder. Rick snuggled close to her slowly dancing with her "having fun love?" Jess smiled "Very much" Rick chuckled kissing her forehead.
Not far from them were Oichi and Sakamoto. Sakamoto had his mask off. "It was getting hot under there already." Oichi chuckled. "I missed your face anyways. Leave it off for a bit?" Sakamoto smiled and placed his chin on her head. "Anything for you hun.
Next to them was Chida and Jin, Jin was cosplaying as Ezio Black from Assassin's Creed 2, near then was Mara was slow dancing with her cousin Paxton. Slowly twirling she giggled "Thank you for asking me, very sweet of you" Paxton was wearing Guo Jia cosplay outfit from Dynasty Warriors. He sighs. "Ross told me my mood was depressing him and told me to go dance for a while. So, I did. No biggie I guess."
Mara giggled putting her head on his shoulder "thank you" suddenly she was pulled off him "Mara stop dancing with this half breed!" Lyle hissed out, Mara frowned at him "grandfather warned you cousin! Don't disappoint him even more" she said pulling her arm back. Lyle was wearing a white prince outfit biting his lip. Paxton put his arm over Mara "Lyle I would advise you to not start a fight during the dance, wingless angel" Lyle's eyes widen "H-How did you know....?" Paxton chuckled "not hard to not sense your wings are gone or taken from him a shame really" Lyle frowned and walked away from him. Mara sighed "Sorry about him"
"There is really no need for you to apologize for him anymore. He needs to learn from his mistakes the hard way. Anyways back to dancing, let's not worry about the sour puss tonight. After all the crap he put you through you need to enjoy yourself tonight." He says patting her head.
Kaci sitting at a table watching everyone dance, he sighed getting off he walked over to the food area. Reaching it he sees Ross getting some punch, frowning mentally he stepped over grabbed a cup, and poured himself a cup of punch "I'm sorry that I kissed you the other day" he said to him taking a sip of his punch waiting for Ross to answer him.
"Kiss?" Ross says sipping on his punch. He thought about it. "Ah! Oh yeah in the tree. It's whatever man. Believe it or not, I'm not upset at it or anything. I've been living for quite a long while, so I've had all types of kisses. Been both the receiver and the giver." He says chuckling. "Just next time ask if you want a kiss." He grabs a plate and started piling it up. Kaci's face flushed and reached for a devil cupcake "maybe I would more" he smirked licking the frosting from the cupcake in a sexual way.
Ross chuckled. "That's cute. Trying to be sexy for a demon. But allow me to show you a thing or two. He grabbed the frosting off of Kaci's cupcake and in a quick motion, smears it on Kaci's lips. Kaci's widen as Ross was closer to him in a flash. Ross grabbed his chin and planted a passionate kiss right on his lips. Kaci could feel Ross's tongue run across his lips, nearly making his knees go weak, and right as he was about to let him have entrance Ross pulled away. He smirked in a teasing manner and chuckled at his flustered face. "Later Kaci. Maybe I'll tease you some more later." He says with an alluring smile and walked off. Kaci shivered and he rushed off to the bathroom covering his crotch.
River walked into the lunchroom wearing an inspired Pokémon Umbreon kimono, that a tail hanging the back, she had prop ears on her head and black heeled boots. Her blue hair was styled slightly wavy down. Her makeup was an amazing site. Her kimono, umberon markings on it glowed in the dark. Smiling she walked to the dance floor to see Jess and Rick slow dancing, Oichi and Sakamoto also slow dancing. She chuckled and watched over them.
Over by the wall, Terry was wearing a doctor strange outfit with a mask over his face that sealed his scent and presence. To everyone, he was just a regular student. With permission from the school, Ronnie was allowed to have one person at an event to watch over Oichi for the time being. He would not be attending the school just yet but just watching. After that week when she was attacked in her home, he was under orders to only act if Oichi was in a life-threatening danger and nothing more. So, for the night he had been standing up against the wall watching her from the distance. There was an earpiece in his ear so if anything happened, he would be able to contact everyone quicker.
Suddenly Terry sees two boys fighting over some girl. Terry simply watches. Then started to throw fits, he can see Oichi and Sakamoto near that fight. He can see Oichi frowning at them telling them to stop it, but they didn't listen as they started to throw more fists.
'Now isn't the time for you to try to step into things like that cousin...I really don't feel like stepping in to stop some petty fight.' As Terry got close to them to stop it, a sudden blur came as he sees a girl wearing a kimono and Black Okami Mask moving quickly, with two fingers. He saw it in slow motion as her two fingers hit spots on the boy's arms and their arms quickly went limp making them gasp "What the hell?!!" Terry's eyes widen and looked around, but the girl was gone soon Mr. Greenly appeared grabbed their ears "you boys out!" he said dragging them by the ears out of the lunchroom to throw them out.
Terry shakes his head and goes back to the wall. He looked to see Sakamoto already lecturing Oichi about jumping into something. He chuckled. 'He's a good guy for a vamp.' He crossed his arms. 'That chick though. Impressive skills. Smelled a bit like blueberries or maybe fresh spring lake water. Either way, she saved me a hassle.' He yawns behind his mask and then noticed Yain glaring at him from way across the room. Terry chuckled and waved slightly. 'The original guard dog doesn't like my handy work as all ways.'
Rick dragged Jess away. They sneaked into the auditorium. The auditorium was huge, it fit the whole student body. The walls were white, the carpeting was grey, and the seats were purple. The stage was black wooded, the curtain was purple like the seats with the school's symbol and the whole room was dim lit with a purple tint. Jess giggled "What did you bring me in here for?" Rick smirked and walked her down to the stage. Reached the stage, walking on it with Jess. She smiled and twirled around on the stage with a giggle "we could get caught being in here"
Rick smirked "I don't care if we do" Jess stop twirling as Rick caught her hands making her blink at him "Rick?" Rick kissed her hands "Jess I love you" Jess flushed and smiled "I love you too" Rick kneeled making her eyes widen "Rick what are you doing?" Rick looked up at her "You know there is a marriage contract, Jessica Lightning Mikcloud will you marry me?" he lifted up a black velvet ring box and opened it. Jess's eyes widen to see a Vintage Green Oval Leaf designs that had Natural Agate Stones on it. "Oh, Rick.... YES!" she giggled "Oh yes I'll marry you!" Rick grinned and stood up putting the ring on her finger, she giggled and jumped on him making rick catch her with a chuckle sharing a kiss.
At the table, Oichi was stuffing her face with the plate Ross had gotten for her. Sakamoto was frowning at that, but he said nothing. So long as Oichi was happy and he kept his hands to himself. He looked around. "Where did Jess and Rick go?" He asked. Ross shrugs. "Don't know, don't care." Oichi sits up. "Well, Jess's pheromones just went up so either she's really happy or they are...well you know." Ross chuckled. "You can smell pheromones?" Oichi shrugs "Every now and then. Not that hard if I have the scent of the person. I've been super close to Jess for the past two months, so I'd know how she'd smell inside and out. Unless it's being block you know." She says going back to eating. Sakamoto chuckled. "Fascinating."
"Speaking of fascinating. Where are you two going to take the next step and do the deed." Oichi nearly choked on her food. "What!?" Ross busted into laughter. Oichi's face started to turn red. "Sorry. I mean hell, is it because Saki over here is a virgin too?" Sakamoto frowned. "She knows that already and just because you have more experience than me doesn't mean a lot. Just look at the kind of trash you sleep with both girls and guys." Oichi's eyes widen. "You...sleep with guys to?" Ross nodded. "Oh yeah. Don't have a type. Chicks or dude so long as I get my fill then I'm happy." Oichi's face turned a different shade of red. 'Two guys...' She had read a few books about two guys sleeping together. The details of the book were rather graphic and very exciting.
Ross smirked. "What's this? Are you thinking about something perverted?" Oichi's eyes widen. "N-No!" She says as she gets up. She quickly rushes away to the bathroom. Sakamoto frowned at Ross. "Really...how long are you trying to tease her!" He says angrily. He got up and race after her. Ross rubbed his head and got up. "My bad jeez!" He says flowing them with a smirk on his face. 'I think it might be time to introduce little Oichi to the perverted side of the line. Haha.'
Jess and Rick walked down the hall back to the lunchroom when Jess had the surge to pee "Rick, bathroom be right back" she said with a giggle skipping off to the girl's bathroom and going inside. Rick chuckled and leaned on the wall waiting for her. In the girl's bathroom, Jess was full of giggles and she started hum "Mhmmm! Mhmmmmmm, mmmmm!"
Outside the bathroom, Rick saw Oichi running full force to the bathroom. "Oichi?" He could see that her face was redder than usual. He frowned as he let her run-past and into the bathroom. Seconds later, Sakamoto and Ross came around the corner. Rick blocked their way. "Ah, sh*t..." Ross says. "Another guard dog is here..." Sakamoto frowned. "Tisk... it's not like we can go in after her. Why can't you keep your dirty thoughts in your own damn head!" Sakamoto yelled at him. Ross was a bit shocked at his angry outburst, but it did excite him a bit. "Oh, my little Saki. It's rare to see you lose your cool like this." Rick groans. "Ross what did you do this time." "I did nothing. She asked if I slept with guys and I told her yeah then her face got all red. I simply asked if she was thinking of perverted things and then she took off." Sakamoto rubs his face. "You know how innocent her mind is. You can't keep teasing her like that! Now go back to the damn table and stay away from her tonight!" Ross pouted. "Sheesh. Fine. Have it your way." Ross says. He chuckled and walked off. Rick shook his head. "Demons..."
In the bathroom, Jess was in a stall when she heard someone rush in and quickly turn on the water. "Crap...Crap...double crap!" Jess raised her eyebrow. "Oichi?" "Ep!" Oichi jumped and looked around. "Jess? How long have you been in here?" Jess giggled. "Not long." Oichi sighs as she takes her hat off. Letting Jess finish her business Oichi started to splash her heated face with cold water.
Jess finished, she skipped over to the sink, taking off her gloves then her ring, placing it down Oichi looked at the ring and her eyes widen slightly picking it up as Jess was washing her hands "Jess... where did you get this ring...?" Jess smiled drying her hands off then putting lotion on, putting her gloves back on, gently taking it, and putting it on her ring finger "Ring proposed to me!" Jess giggled.
"P-Proposed?? Like Marriage Proposed!?" Jess nodded with a smile. Oichi tears up and out of excitement her wolf ears pop out and she pounced on Jess with a snuggle attack. "I'm so happy for you!!!" She says in tears. "Congratulations!!!"
Jess giggled "Thank you! Oichi, I want you to be my maid of Honor" "Of course!!" Orchis as her ears twitched in happiness.
Jess and Oichi giggled together, they left the bathroom to see Rick and Sakamoto, Jess smiled "Saki! Look" she lifted up her hand, and he looked to see her ring on her ring finger. Rick grinned. "Don't call me that and congratulations to you." He then noticed Oichi's ears. He motions her to come to him. "Your ears are showing. Oichi bounced over to him. "I'm gonna be a maid of honor!" Oichi says with sparkling eyes. Sakamoto smiles and rubs her head bringing her excitement levels down. "I'm happy for you." He says as he watches her ears shrink down and return to normal.
In the shadow River was watching them with a smile on her face, she was happy for Jess and Rick. "sister" she turned her head to see Haru, her brother. He has cyan eyes and cyan blue shoulder-length hair with one side up in a ponytail. "Brother, what you are doing here?" River asked him. Haru chuckled poking her cheek "Just seeing how you are doing my lovely sister" River flushed "Brother stop that and I'm busy watching Jess and Oichi" Haru chuckled "really than where are they?" River looked away and she growled, they were no longer there "To Draco" she disappeared. Haru smirked 'She's so adorable'
Jess, Rick, Oichi, and Sakamoto walked back to the lunchroom, Rick took her hand "Oichi, Sakamoto do you mind if I and Jess leave?" Jess blinked but her face turned red to see a smirk on his face 'horny f*cken vampire....'
"Sure have fun." Sakamoto says. Rick grinned taking Jess's hand "Bye Oichi, Sakamoto" Jess smiled shyly and waved goodbye "Bye Oichi and Saki!" she stuck her tongue out at him as Rick dragged her away.
Sakamoto rolls his eyes. "You better warn her that I'll start to ignore her if she keeps calling me that disgusting name." Sakamoto says sighing. Oichi smiles and wraps her arm around his. "I'll let her know later but I told you before that your nickname is just a nickname." "to me not... it's insulting." Oichi's hand slips down to his and she links her fingers with hers. "I know...maybe one day you won't see it like that... nonetheless, let's go enjoy the rest of our night." Sakamoto smiles at her and nodded. "Yeah, I'd definitely like a night to remember."
Kaci is not far from Ross. Chida was sitting near Ross at the same table, Kaci gulped 'okay I'm gonna do it.. just sit on his lap and kiss him! Oh god, I want more!' he sees Oichi and Sakamoto walking up to the table. "My princess has returned to me!!!" He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. "Sorry about getting you riled up. It's in my nature you know." Oichi smiles. "It's okay. I forgive you." Ross smiles. "Forgiveness from my princess warms my dark heart haha."
Kaci frowned at Ross flirting with Oichi, sighing he decided. He walked right on over to the table. Chida notices him "Kaci there you are, where have you been" Oichi sat next to Ross and Sakamoto sat next to her. She was focused on finishing her food. Kaci ignored them and pulled Ross's chair out "Ross, can I....? you said to ask next time so can I?...." his face was red.
"Sure, knock yourself out." Ross says shrugging. with a smile, Kaci sat on Ross's lap facing and giving Ross a deep heated Kiss. Chida's eyes widen dropping his treat on his in shock. Sakamoto already knowing what was going to happen had covered Oichi's eyes so that she could eat. "Sakamoto..." "Just ignore the sounds hun and eat your food," Sakamoto says sighing.
Hours went by and it was close to midnight, Jess and Rick were in his room. Both were naked and tingled in the sheet, Jess panted with the aftershock of pleasure. Rick next to her went on his side kneeling on his elbow "Jess... may I have some? Rather hungry.... Haven't eaten for a while" Jess flushed but nodded with a smile "of course love" Rick smiled and leaned down removing the sheet from her chest and leaning down to her bare left boob and kissing it making her moan. HE chuckled as his fangs came out and bite down on her boob gently making her gasp in pleasure and slight pain, she laid there running her fingers through his black hair and moaning letting him drink from her.
As the dance started to come to a close, Oichi and Sakamoto were already heading out to leave. Behind them was Yain and a tired-out Florina. "Lady Oichi, if you do not mind, I will take Florina home." Oichi nodded. "Yes, thank you. Please be careful." Yain nodded as he picked Florina up bridal style, waking her from her half-sleep state. "What...What is going on?" She asked getting flustered. "Your prince charming is carrying you home." Sakamoto says chucking. Yain rolled his eyes at him and quickly dashed off using his speed. Oichi giggled as Sakamoto led her to the car. Across the street on top of the building the assassin who was now stalking Oichi was watching her. He had his bow and arrow with him. 'I'm tired of waiting...' He pulled out his bow and arrow. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The man stopped and turned to see Terry behind him with his mask still on. "Who are you." Terry chuckled. "I should be asking you that since you are about to attack Princess Oichi." "How did you find me." "It wasn't that hard. You really like rooftops. How about you remove the mask before things get ugly."
Just then two more bodies dropped down behind the man wearing the same gear. Terry frowned. He was outnumbered but it wasn't like it would matter. He got into a fighting stance. "You will not lay a finger on her and you can tell your master that Lord Ronnie will be coming for him. The two men chuckled at Terry. "Always trying to sound so touch Ter." Terry narrowed his eyes behind the mask. "So, you know me. Then you are from the clan." The two other assassins stood up straight and removed their masks. Terry sighed. "Roy and Steven...the sons of Dorian." On the right, there was a tan skin boy with long white hair in a low ponytail. "Watch your mouth Ter. It's Prince Roy to you." Next to him was a tan skin boy with white hair as well but was braided on the side. He flashed a smile. "And don't forget Prince Steven." "I don't care what your names are, you three are coming with me." Roy chuckled. "Now, now, Ter don't be so hasty. We aren't here to fight. Just to collect our tool over here." Steven turned to the man. "Father wants you back now. You are not to make a move against her just yet." The man nodded. "Understood..." He quickly jumped off the rooftop and dashed away disappearing in the dark. Terry growled. "You two are nothing but traitors to the Tanaka clan." Roy smirked. "I'd rather be a traitor than a mindless fool under the rule of Ronnie. Now, I'd love to stay and rip your heart out, but we have to get going. Later." He says laughing as he and his brother ran off. Terry sighs and lets them go. "Great...things are just going from bad to worse..."
Somewhere in a deep underground laboratory, Clover stood in front of a Tube that had green-blue liquid in it. A man walked toward him, he had brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a blue-collar shirt with a black tie, black pants, and shoes with a lab coat on he had a high devise tablet in his hands "Is everything working in order?" Clover asked him. The man chuckled looking at the tablet screen "Of course Lord Clover, everything is working perfectly. I have to ask; how did you get his blood?" Clover smirked "I have my ways Noah" Noah chuckled. "So, when will he be ready to be born?" Noah looked at his tablet "I have the pod on a normal human circle, so in 9 months he will be ready and the serum mixed in with that magic item you found, we will inject him with will make him grow faster after his birth." Clover smirked "good, soon my son you will be my answer to kill that witch"
A few days later the 3rd of November, a Saturday, Oichi, and Sakamoto were walking through the town picking up a few items. Yain had to leave on a task force to search for the assassin that was after her. Terry was now assigned to her and he watched her from the rooftop with his mask on. "I can't believe Jess and Rick are getting married." Oichi says. "Yeah, lucky them." Sakamoto says with his other hand in his pocket. "I wonder how it would look and the colors and the dresses! Oooo I wish I was good enough to design a wedding dress for her!" Sakamoto chuckled. "Well, you can use this as good practice time for when we get married." Oichi blushed. "Us?" Sakamoto held up her hand and kissed it on the back. "You really think I'm not going to marry you one day? Don't be silly. I told you already that you are mine forever just like I am yours forever." Oichi smiled and leans on him. "You make me happy Meito." "You make me just as happy Ichi."
On the rooftop, Terry was watching them. "Aw, sweet love at its finest." "To carefree if you ask me." Terry looked back to see his younger brothers Jack and Eric wearing the same mask but in different colors. "Why is Oichi not being informed about Roy and Steven? They are just as dangerous as Dorian." Eric says crossing his arms. "Grandfathers orders. Oichi hasn't been pulled into this little power struggle yet and he wants her to at least create a few more memories before things come to light, I guess." "That's bullcrap," Jack says. "She's already been through a bunch of crap. This is no different. I'll tell her myself if I have to." Terry held his hand up. "You won't be doing anything. If you will be breaking Grandfather's orders. Do you really want to do that again?" Jack and Eric sighed. "So, what? We just watch until something happens?" "Yes, that is what we are doing so head back to your stations and keep a sharp eye. That assassin can appear out of nowhere at any time..." Eric and Jack nods. "Yes, brother." They quickly left. Terry sighs and places his hands in his pocket. "Now let's see how this is going to turn out today."
Jess and Rick walk the streets holding hands, Jess giggled holding up her left hand smiling at it. Rick chuckled "you seem very happy" Jess smiled "Of course "after high school were gonna be husband and wife" Rick chuckled "I know love, Father is gonna wants the spell you have on you off so we can have a family..." Jess flushed rubbing her tummy "family... would the council allow it?" Rick smirked "Father told me that Seth told him Althaea appeared before the council saying 'The rules of what is forbidden aren't just decided by man' so that means?" Jess smiled with a flush "The council cannot control our lives" Rick nodded "and we can have kids" Jess flushed more and then noticed Oichi and Sakamoto "Oichi! Sakamoto!"
Oichi and Sakamoto waved. "Hey, seems like you two are out as well." Ochi says. On the rooftop, Terry watched as Jess and Rick walked over to Oichi and Sakamoto. Jess and Oichi hugged lovely like sisters. 'Cute...' Suddenly a hit of smell made Terry sniff and blink, it was like smelling magic fire. Turning his head, there on another rooftop watching was a woman wearing a black outfit, a black hood was over her head.
'Probably for Jess. It would be weird if they didn't have someone watching her.' He reached up and clicked his earpiece. "Message to all in the area, if you spot a woman in black do not engage. I repeat do not engage." He then looked down to see Oichi and the others walk down the street. He followed them slowly and looked around. Something came through his earpiece. "Ter we got movement near Oichi's house. I'm leaving to check it out." "Alright, careful brother."
Down below Oichi had her notepad opened when she suddenly stopped. Sakamoto looked at her. "Oichi? You okay?" Oichi frowned. Her back was tingling, and it only meant one thing. She bit her lip and looked around. She grabbed Sakamoto's hand tightly. "S-Something isn't right...my back...my scars they are tingling." Sakamoto frowned and held her close. "Then we need to get you off the street for now." Jess frowned "alright, let's get out of the street" "Jess you should put a barrier over us," Rick said.
Just then out of nowhere, Sakamoto saw a spark in the corner of his eyes. He grabbed Oichi and pulled her back just as an arrow flew right by her face. It cut her cheek slightly but because of the poison in them, it started to bleed. The arrow stuck into the wall. Oichi's eyes widen. "Oh no..." Jess's eyes widen "Oichi!" Rick covered Jess "Jess the barrier!"
Another one came aiming at them, but Terry jumped down and grabbed it before it could reach them. "Tisk...I swear this guy is everywhere." "Who are you?" Oichi asked holding her cheek. Terry looked at her and nearly forgot that the mask covered his scent and presence. "It's Terry." "Ter?" "Oichi, you need to leave here now. Head to grandfather's house." Oichi frowned. "But..." "No buts Oichi, this guy has already come after you once, you need to get going. Sakamoto takes her." Sakamoto grabbed Oichi's hand and ran off with her in tow. Rick grabbed Jess's hand and followed them.
Terry jumps back on the rooftop and follows them. Suddenly he was cut off by a volley of arrows in front of him. He stopped and jumped back. Roy jumped down and spins the arrow in his fingers. "Hello, Ter are you ready to begin our dance. Today is the day when the girl comes to us." Terry sighs. "I don't have time for this..." Roy smirked. "Well make time. My job here is to stall you until our toy catches our prey." He fires an arrow at Terry who catches it and breaks it. "Very well Roy. Then I'll just have to beat you and head to Oichi." He clicked his earpiece twice sending out an alert. "Just don't be mad when I bring your lifeless body back to grandfather." Roy chuckled. "We shall see."
"My, my two wolfs fighting" they turned their head to see a man in an all-ninja outfit then the woman in black appeared next to him. Not looking away from Terry and Roy "Go and follow Jess, Oichi, and the two vampires. Protect them" the girl nodded and disappeared.
Roy sighs. "Another outsider has shown..." He readies his bow. Haru chuckled "Oh don't mind me, go on fight" he smirked "I'm just here in case the boy can't stop you, then I'll be able to stop you?" Terry sighs under his mask. 'Typical...' Roy points his bow at Terry. "It won't be long until your princess's head is on a platter." Terry frowned. "Like I let that happen."
Reaching the woods, they stopped for a moment. Jess was put down by rick when she stepped to Oichi holding her hand. Oichi's eyes blinked at her "Jess what you doing?" the aura around them shifted has when Jess's hair started to float has their bodies glowed slightly. Rick smiled "don't worry she's putting a barrier around us" the spell fully cast. The shift changed back to normal and Jess's hair stop floating. Jess smiled "There barrier is over all of us" letting go of Oichi's hand, Rick picked her back up "Let's hurry to Oichi's house"
They heard chuckling. "Sorry but you aren't going anywhere." Steven dropped down holding twin swords one black and one white. They were dripping with blood. Oichi whimpered as Sakamoto stood in front of her. "Hello, Oichi. Would you be a doll and come with me?" "She's not going anywhere with you." Sakamoto says as his eyes turned red. Steven chuckled. "Wanna take me on and find out vampire. I'm not supposed to kill the pup but there was nothing that said I couldn't kill you." Suddenly more men dropped down to surround them. "Roy was supposed to separate you all from Oichi, but it seems like Ter is a bit too much for him right now." Oichi clings to Sakamoto who looks for a way out. He then sees an opening right in between them. "This way!" He says dragging Oichi with him. With a quick movement, Jess was picked up by rick and followed Sakamoto.
They ran deeper into the forest; they could hear the patter of feet chasing them. Oichi bit her lip. All they wanted was her. She didn't want anyone to get hurt. She grabbed her chest as it started to burn. 'Ah...it burns...what is it doing...' Just then an arrow flew out the tree and went right for Oichi but thanks to the barrier it bounced off." Sakamoto bit his lip. "Hurry! Though here we can loop around back to the streets!" They ran more until more arrows shot out missing Sakamoto and Rick and bouncing off of Jess and Oichi. Running into an open field one more arrow flew out of the trees and pierced Oichi in her leg. "Ahh!!!"
Sakamoto grabbed her. "Oichi!!" Jess's eyes widen as Sakamoto picked Oichi up. "How? I just put a barrier over her!" Oichi grabs her chest as they felt a bit of dark aura pour out of her. "The curse...it must have absorbed your magic." Jess bit her lip. Steven chuckled as he walked to them. "End of the road boys and girl." The arrow in Oichi's leg had gone all the way through. Sakamoto growls angrily. "I kill you all for harming her!" Steven chuckled. "Wooo I'm so scared. All you have to do is hand over the girl and you can freely go." Sakamoto held Oichi close to him. "Don't be an idiot. I'll never hand her over." Steven smirked. "Have it your way then." He snaps his fingers and the men started to slowly surround them.
Jess frowned looking at the men closing in on them, she wasn't gonna let this happen, she was gonna protect Oichi. Taking a small step the aura shifted around her as the ground shook, Rick's eyes widen "Jess...?"
Quickly she held out her hand has green lightning formed around her and her palm, her eyes were shining green and her hair slightly in a magic glow "I will not let you take her!" Then a tunnel of magical lightning formed around them. Rick's eyes widen 'I've never seen her show this kind of power.... The power reeking off her is overwhelming' he looked at Sakamoto "hold on to her! Keep her in this tunnel of lightning!" "Like you had to tell me twice," Sakamoto says. Oichi was clinging to her as her chest started to burn more and more.
Then suddenly above them the clouds started to swirl, and they can hear loud claps of thunder roaring in the sky, Rick's eyes widen "she's creating a thunderstorm..." Then pure thick lightning bolts came from the sky connecting with the tunnel and into Jess. Oichi, Sakamoto, and Rick were stunned by this power.
Jess lifted her foot glaring deadly at the men "I won't let you take her!" she shouted at them stomping the ground as the ground around them cracked and was pushed up from the earth as powerful lighting came from the ground hitting the men around them.
Steven had dodged the attack and laughed. "Your pretty strong girl, then again Witches shouldn't be underestimated." He lands on his feet and looks around at his men. "To bad but I do have to thank you for doing that it makes my job so much easier." He says smirking. They all felt shaking under the ground. Between the cracks in the ground left by Jess's attack, Thick silver chains shot out of the ground and wrapped around Oichi and Sakamoto. Oichi started to scream as the chains burned her skin. Then in a quick motion, they were dragged underground. Jess's eyes widen "OICHI!"
Steven laughed loudly. "Next time think girly. Such a huge attack like that makes an assassin's job easy. You said you weren't going to let us take her well you were right since it's thanks to you that we got her!! Ahahaha!" Steven jumped into the trees and more men replaced him. A few of the ones who were stuck by lighting also recovered. Jess frowned "OICHI! Rick growled and rushed the men ripping their hearts out one by one with his speed.
In the deepest part of the forest, the ground blew and Sakamoto and Oichi were thrown out. Oichi was in a lot of pain from the silver chains. Sakamoto wasted little time breaking them out of it. "Oichi!? Are you okay!?" Oichi shivered in his arms and covered the burn marks on her arms. "It's too bad...I was hoping only to get the girl." Sakamoto looked up to the main assassin walking up to him with a bow and arrow on his back and now a sword. "Step away from the girl and you will not be harmed, vampire." Sakamoto glared at him and lays Oichi down. "Saki...no..." She reaches up and grabs his arm. Sakamoto's eyes widen a bit, but he smiled at her. "I'll protect you Ichi." He places her hand on his stomach and got up. He stood in front of her. "You're going to have to get through me if you want her." Sakamoto says as a red aura glow around him. His right arm started to transform into a red and black liquid and spread out like wipes. "You will not take her from me." Oichi's eyes widen as she saw this.
Back in town, Terry was dodging arrows left and right. Roy chuckled as he pointed multiple arrows up into the air and they splashed down on Terry who easily dodged out the way. 'Tisk...I don't have time to play games while Oichi is in danger.' After Roy shot his last arrow, Terry took that moment to run full force at him. He jumped up and threw a knee at him but Roy blocked the hit with his elbow. He pushed back, flipping Terry who landed on his feet. Terry didn't back down as he rushed Roy again. The two traded blows back and forth as Haru looked on. Haru sighs 'hurry up already...'
Haru then looked toward the left and saw a flash. Roy kicked Terry back and was about to rush him when a large shadow was over him. Roy looked up and saw a large werewolf land right on top of him. Its large paw stomped his head nearly through the roof they were on. Terry jumps back and frowns as the wolf stood up on his Hine's legs and snarled out. On his body was a white seal tattooed's down his chest and on his arms. He picked up Roy by his head and squeezed him with intent of killing him. Terry ran up to him. "Stop!!! Grandfather wants him alive!!" The wolf glared at him. "Put. Him. Down." Terry says. "Come to your senses...Yain..." The wolf's eyes narrowed and then tossed a now unconscious Roy to the ground. With a shake, his body started to shrink back to human size. When he was back to normal his eyes were glowing white. He cracked his neck as he walked up to Terry. He then punched Terry in the gut sending him flying back a few feet. "Your job was to protect Oichi..." Yain growled out. "I come back to find you playing with a traitor who should be killed." He walked up to Terry with a murderess aura sounding him. His white eyes glowing more. He grabbed Terry by his hair and lifted him up to face to face. "If Lady Oichi is harmed badly in any way I will rip your throat out." He tossed Terry on the rooftop and ran off in the direction of Oichi and the others.
Terry frowned and got up brushing his clothes off. "He's so hyped for no reason." He walked over to Roy and picked his body up. He turned to Haru who was still simply watching them. Terry sighs under the mask and took off with Roy. 'brother! It's Jess' through his earpiece, Haru growled "wolfs, the girls are in danger" he said disappearing.
In the forest, Sakamoto was thrown back by the assassin. Sakamoto took a knee and was breathing heavily. The assassin walked to him with his sword out. His mask was cracked, and his armor was falling off his shoulder. "It's a too bad boy. You are quite strong but not strong enough." Sakamoto..." Oichi says. She grips the grass. She felt so useless just sitting here. The assassin walked up to Sakamoto and knee him in the chin. Sakamoto gasps out as he fell to the ground. "No!! Stop this!!" Oichi yelled out. The assassin looked at her. Oichi was tearing up. "Don't hurt him anymore! I'll go with you so stop please!!" She says crying. Sakamoto tries to sit up. "No...Oichi. You can't give up so easily like that." "If it meant sparing your life then I will. I can't bear to see you hurt." Sakamoto frowned but before he could say anything. The assassin ran the blade through Sakamoto's shoulder. It was covered in poison. Sakamoto's widen as his body quickly became paralyzed. Oichi felt her heart shiver as the assassin walked up to her, leaving the blade in Sakamoto's shoulder. "Be thankful that this is only temporary." He grabbed Oichi by her hair and started to pull her away. Oichi tried to struggle but thanks to the arrow and the chains she was weak. "Let me go!!! Stop this!!!!" Oichi yelled and screamed out. The assassin ignored her cries as he pulled her away and into the woods. Sakamoto tried to move but he couldn't lift a finger all he could hear was Oichi's screams getting further and further away from him. "Gotta...save her..." He says trying to sit up. A foot then steps in his view. Sakamoto's eyes went up to see Steven with a dark smile on his face. Sakamoto watched as he lifted his blade and that's all he could see before everything went dark.
Steven didn't sense it; someone had appeared behind him. His eyes widen and turn in slow motion as the person appeared next to him at such speed with their arm next to his ear, his eyes widen more to see glow blue slit eyes 'who is this? I didn't sense her...' With a snap of her finger, she let off a huge shockwave right next to his head, kicking up dust and dirt around him, his earing ringed as the ground around them burst up with such a high frequency, Steven held his ears as they bleed, he fell to his knee's has a Katana went to his neck.
His eyes narrowed and then smirked. "Well, well, seems like a new member has joined in on the fun." He lashes out with his blade to slash her arm, as it got closer, his eyes widen as the blade broke when it touched her arm, the fabric was cut but her skin wasn't, he can see scales. Steven chuckled. "Interesting, even so, you're too late. Mikey has Oichi now and once he hands her over to father you will never see her again. Oh, wait...you might when he sends her head in a box haha." River growled at him "I'm gonna enjoy cutting your head off!" ready to cut off his head Jess rushed over with Rick behind her "River no keep him alive"
Steven chuckled. "Too bad." River sighed "Very well" with a quick motion wires appeared around Steven tightly "these wires are unbreakable, so don't try" "Does it look like I can sweetheart." Steven says chuckling.
The assassin dragged Oichi through the forest. All the while men dropped down on guard. "Slow them down until the master gets here. I do not care if you have to do it in order for it to happen." "Yes sir!" The men yelled out.
Oichi struggled against him. "Let me go!!! Stop dragging me!!" The assassin pulled her into a small open area. He then tossed her into the trunk of a tree. Oichi gasps out. "The master will be here soon so shut up with the screaming." Oichi glared at him. "What do you want from me! Who are you!!?" The assassin sighs and grabbed his mask. He pulls it off and Oichi's eyes widen. The man staying in front of her looked just like her father, Dante. He had long black hair with dark and cold purple eyes. "You...You look like..." "I am Mikey and I am but a humble servant of Master Dorian. I am the bastard son of your father Dante so that makes use siblings." "If...If we are related then why are you doing this!!?" Oichi yelled out. Mikey took the bow off his back and pulled out an arrow. "Because I despise you and everyone in the Tanaka clan." He aimed at Oichi's shoulder. "I wish to see you and your family, dead little sister. Master Dorian has shown me the light and I will make sure to burn everything you love down." He shot the arrow at her, but she moved out the way. It hit the trunk, but Mikey was quick and reloaded the bow and shot Oichi in her side. "Ahhh!!!!"
Oichi bit her lip as she looked at the arrow in her side. Mikey walked up to her. "You are nothing but filth. Everything you are and everything you do make me sick." He pulled the arrow out of her side and drove it back in. Oichi cried out in pain. "You sicken me. You must die." He takes the arrow out of her side and flips her over. He raises the arrow. He stabs her two more times in the shoulder. "S-Stop!" Oichi cries out. Mikey grabbed her hair and pulled on it hard. "Silence. Before the master has his way with you, I will make you suffer." He said in a cold tone. He throws her to the tree and pins her by her neck. Oichi tries to claw at his hand, but the stab wounds were deep, and they weren't healing. Mikey twirls the arrow in his finger. "The master said I was not to kill you yet, so I won't." He places the arrow in the middle of Oichi's chest. "Remember this feeling sister. I can kill you any time I want. Any time I please and there is nothing you can do about it. He moves the arrow and stabs her other side but instead, he pushes it in slowly making her gasp out. "N-No..." "I hate you Oichi. I cannot wait to kill you with my own hands. He pushes in the arrow even deeper and even slower forcing Oichi to feel even more pain. Oichi's eyes started to flicker as her weak body started to give out on her. 'Saki...' She passes out from the pain.
Mikey leaves the arrow in her side and throws her to the ground. He then places his mask back on. "Do not worry, I will not kill you. I will torcher your body under the master gets here." He pulls his second sword and turns to her and walks slowly toward her. He bends down and was about to stab her once more until he heard someone walking toward him. He frowned as he turned around to see a man smoking. He had on a black overcoat, with a gray shirt and black pants and shoes. He had dark blue eyes, and short hair with a red string of hair over his left yes. He was carrying a bag on his back, a gun in his left hand, and the head of a werewolf in the other. He dropped his head and grabbed his cigarette and blew out smoke. "Am I interrupting?" Mikey stood up. "Identify yourself human." The man blew out smoke again. "Titus, a hunter." He looked down at Oichi. Because her wounds were not healing, she was bleeding out. "First warning. Step away from the girl. Werewolves should know better than to hunt humans." Mikey pointed the knife at him but before he could move, the man had disappeared and suddenly the gun was right in his face. "You think a gun would work on me?" Mikey says. "You're a wolf. I know you can smell your kinds of blood on it." Mikey puts the knife away and jumps back. "Impressive for a human. You have one this round for now, but I will be back." Mikey quickly ran off.
The man sighs and walks up to Oichi. He bends down and checks her pulse. "Still alive huh. With those injuries, you should be knocking on death doors by now." He carefully picked her up. Her clothes were drenched in her blood. "Seems like you might bleed out if something isn't done." He carries her off. He stops and then digs in his bag. He pulls out a jar with yellow liquid with the petal of the dragon rose flower. He opened it and it gave off a honey smell, it covered up his and Oichi's scent so that no one could follow them. "There, at least no other creature will be able to track you for a while. It's not strong but it should last me an hour until I reach my cabin." He says to himself and walks away with Oichi.
An electric shock hit Steven in the face "WHERE IS SHE?!, Rick smirked at her 'damn she's pissed...' River checking over Sakamoto, there was a blade in. she quickly removed it and he started to heal. It would take a few seconds for him to recover.
Steven licked his lips. "Come on is that all?" Jess bites her lip and lifts her hand again with lightning around it "Where is she..." she deadly asked him. "Not saying." She says smirking.
That hand came down on his cheek shocking him with such a powerful force it made him scream as he was shocked by that lightning. However, that scream turned into laughter. "Ahahaha!!!! If that's the best, you got girl then you will NEVER find her!!!" Steven says laughing through the lighting. Jess grips his fists in anger.
Just then Yain jumped down with force shaking the ground. His eyes were still white but filled with anger. Jess and the other's eyes widen slightly, as he walked toward them. "Move and let him go." He says. Jess quickly stepped aside and nods to River who dropped her wires. "Oh, Yain...if the witch couldn't get me to talk what makes you think..." Yain grabbed Steven's arm and ripped it off with sheer force. Steven's eyes widen and he screamed out in pain. Yain then grabbed Stevens's head and slammed it into the ground twice creating a small crater. Jess just stood there watching. Rick snuggles her "Calm down love" Jess frowned "I can't..."
"Where....is...Oichi..." He growled out. He pulled Steven's head up. His head was already bleeding. "I don't give a damn if your wanted alive. You tell me where she is now, or I will rip your heart out." Yain says in a deadly tone. Steven coughs out. "E-Even if I knew...do you think I would rat my father out like that..." Yain growls and drops him. "Then you are no use to me. You aren't worth keeping alive." He bares his fangs and claws and goes to carve a hole in Steven's chest.
A hand grabbed his arm, and he heard a sigh. "I told you already, Gramps what him alive." Yain turned to see Terry. "You are letting your emotions get to you again." Yain slaps his hand away. "No, I'm not. If I was, I would have already killed Roy and Steven and searched this forest myself for Oichi. Time is running out and if Dorian gets his hands on her we will not see her again." Yain says throwing the arm at Steven's head. "I know that...and gramps know that...that's why..." They stopped talking as they heard footsteps coming toward them. They looked to see Ronnie coming out of the woodworks. Terry and Yain quickly took a knee. "Grandfather..." "My king..." Yain says. Ronnie was smoking a cigarette and he blew out smoke. "On the way here, I saw my brothers lying dead at my feet." He looked at Rick, Jess, and River. "Was it you three?" Jess frowned and nodded; Rick nodded also. River nodded.
"I see." He looked down at Steven who was holding his bleeding shoulder. "Yain...I told you that I wanted him alive." "He is alive sir..." Yain says. Ronnie signs just as Eric appeared behind him. "Take him to Faye." "Yes, grandfather..." Eric says grabbing Steven and his arm and leaving. Sakamoto finally woke up. He blinked twice before sitting up in a panic. "Oichi!!!???" He looked around. Yain shot him a glare, but Terry stopped him. "I don't think Oichi would take to kind in you roughing him up right now." Sakamoto rubbed his shoulder. "Damn that assassin!" He starts to storm off to the woods, but Ronnie appeared behind him and grabbed his shoulder. "Where are you going boy." Sakamoto frowned. "To get my girlfriend!!" "Her scent is gone. How will you find her?" Sakamoto growls under his breath and smacks Ronnie's hand away making his eyes go wide. Terry was quick as he had a blade to Sakamoto's throat in an instant. "Disrespect my grandfather again, and I will take your head." He presses the blade close to Sakamoto's throat. Drawing blood. Jess frowned "Stop!" Rick shook his head 'wolfs...'
"It's quite alright." Ronnie says. Terry does a low growl and backs off a bit. "Where is my granddaughter," Ronnie asked. Sakamoto pointed to the woods. "In the damn woods! How can you not smell her!!" Ronnie puts his hands in his pocket. "She smells like freaking honey!! You can't tell me that you can tell the increased scent of honey is growing around here!! Out of everyone you know who the hell smells ONLY like honey!!" Sakamoto storms off quickly. Terry grips his blade. "Grandfather...permission to kill him..." Ronnie chuckled. "No, he is right. I can smell where she is due to the rise of a honey scent." He turned to Jess and the others. "If I asked you all to leave, would you?" Jess frowned "No" Rick sighs.
Ronnie shakes his head. "Very well, do what you wish. Just do not get in my way." They went after Sakamoto to find Oichi.
In a cabin, deep into the forest, Oichi was resting on a very soft bed. Her wounds were attended to and her clothes had been changed into a light blue gown made of cotton. Her shoulders, side, and leg were bandaged up. Titus was sitting on the sofa waiting for her to wake up. While he was tending to her wounds, he had noticed something and was itching to ask her. Oichi started to stir. Her eyes opened and she looked around. Her head turned to Titus. She gasps and sat up only for her body to shake in pain. She fell back on the bed. Titus got up. "Careful girl. You had some major wounds. I don't want you to start bleeding out again. Oichi looks at him. "Who...Who are you." "My name is Titus. I'm a hunter." Oichi's eyes widen. "A-A hunter..." "Yes, I hunt creatures for the right price but enough about me." He reached down and grabbed her necklace that had Ronnie's fang on it. "Where did you get this from?" Oichi looked at it but didn't say anything. Titus frowned and grabbed Oichi by her shoulder. She hisses out in pain. "I have no problem with making you, talk girl. Now you either tell me willingly or I will make you feel more pain than you are in now. Now talk."
Oichi felt him tighten his grip on her arm. "Talk. Now." He says. "It's my grandpa's!" Oichi says. Titus's eyes widen in interest, and he let her go. "Your...grandfather...what is his name." R-Ronnie...Ronnie Tanaka." Titus chuckled. "I didn't know he had a granddaughter...girl. What will happen if I remove this necklace." Oichi started to panic. "No please don't do that! My wolf form I...I can't control it and I'll go out of control so please don't..." "You have the same power as Ronnie?" Oichi nodded. "Very interesting." He got up. "If I play my cards right then I will be able to see him again haha." He glanced back at Oichi. "This day may turn out well for me."
In the forest, Sakamoto and the others came to the spot where Oichi was last seen. Sakamoto frowned and ran to the tree. He stopped when he saw a vast amount of blood. He could tell it was Oichi's. His heart started to tremble. "Oichi...no..." He drops down to the ground. "All this blood...she couldn't have..." Jess's tears started to form in her eyes "Oichi...." Rick held her hand "It's alright"
Ronnie looked around and noticed a werewolf head. He walked over to it and picked it up. "A clean cut." He chuckled. "So, he is here after all." He turned back to Sakamoto and the others. "She's still alive and closes by." They looked at him. "How do you know." Ronni held up the head. "The man who took her was not Dorian. Only one man I know can make a clean cut on his head like this. A hunter by the name of Titus. He's been hunting me down for a while now. If he realizes Oichi is my granddaughter, he will no doubt use her to get to me." Sakamoto frowned. "What will he do with her!!?" Jess bit her lip "A hunter?! In Ravenswood?!" Rick did not like this "A hunter"
"I'm not sure...but I'm sure he has covered his tracks well. Other than the way we came the honey trail stops here." Sakamoto bit his lip and hit the tree, cracking it in half. 'Dammit all...' he says to himself.
At the cabin, Titus drew a knife. Oichi shook. "N-No..." Titus chuckled. "Calm down...I blocked your scent on the way here. He should just be wearing off. All I need to do is to create fresh blood. He grabbed her hand and cut it just a bit. "Now...I wait."
As soon as he did that, Sakamoto's and Yain's had pops up. Sakamoto's eyes turn red as he quickly rushes through the forest. Ronnie chuckled. "Seems like it's time for a rematch." They all quickly ran after Sakamoto. It took them a few minutes in their speed to reach the cabinet. They stopped at they saw Titus leaning over the rails with a gun in his hand. "Where is Oichi!!??" Sakamoto yelled. Titus ignored them until Ronnie walked out. Ronnie walked past them all and smirked at Titus. "Titus seems like you are still alive after all these times." Titus chuckled. "Until I take your life Ronnie I will never die." Ronnie narrowed his eyes. "I hope you haven't done any harm to my granddaughter." Titus shrugs. "She is of no use to me now that you are here. Vampire boy, if you want her you can come to collect her. She's in the room here. Don't worry I won't attack. I only have one prize in sight." Sakamoto frowned and looked at Ronnie. "Go ahead. All of you. Get her and get out and no matter what you hear don't turn back." Ronnie says as his aura started to pour out. His eyes started to turn blue like Oichi's.
Sakamoto and the others quickly ran upstairs and by Titus. Bursting into the room, Sakamoto ran into the bedroom to see Oichi, slowly passing out from the lack of blood in her system. "Oichi!!" He runs to her. Jess and Rick rushed in and Jess's eyes widened with a gasp "Oichi!!"
Oichi's eyes were getting heavy, but she looked and smile to see Sakamoto. "Hi..." She says weakly. "Just hold on okay. I'll get you back home in no time." He says rubbing her head. He pulls back the blanket and frowns. Firstly, at the outfit, she was in, and secondly at the injuries she got. Her side wound had reopened, and she was slowly bleeding through the bandages and outfit. "Oichi..." Sakamoto bit his lip. Jess started to panic "Maybe I should heal her...." Rick frowned "Jess"
He wrapped her up in a blanket and picked her up. "Let's go home..." He says. They then heard a loud explosion, and the cabin shook violently. They go to peek out the window to see Ronnie and Titus's trading blows in a huge crater. The crater nearly blew most of the woods away. Each blow they trades made it bigger and bigger, soon the cabin would come crashing down. "We need to leave." Sakamoto says jumping out a window. Rick picks Jess up and follows him out. They quickly run off right as they heard a loud and powerful howl. Oichi's eyes opened. "Grandpa..." Sakamoto held her tightly. "He'll be okay." He says. Oichi nods slightly before closing her eyes.
With their speed, they were able to make it back to town and to Ronnie's house where Faye and Danni were waiting on them. While Terry and the others explained what was going on, Sakamoto and Jess were upstairs with Oichi. She was up for little, but Faye had given her something to rest. "Sorry..." She mumbles out. Sakamoto grabs her hand. "There is nothing to be sorry about hun. All that matters is that we got you back." Jess nodded "I'm so happy that we got you back before I tore this forest apart" Rick shook his head.
Oichi tears up but Sakamoto clears her eyes. "Nothing to cry about either. Go ahead and get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up. I promise." Oichi nods and closes her eyes and sleeps.
Jess steps over "would me healing her, help her?" Sakamoto frowned. "I don't want to risk it...That stupid curse... might drain more of your magic like it did with the barrier and make it stronger to break. Plus, Granny Faye has already taken care of her major injuries. She just needs to rest now." He kisses the back of her hand. "Once she gets enough rest, she should be back to her lucky self just a little sore."
Jess frowned "I hope so...." Rick just held her "It's alright love, Oichi will be alright, Sakamoto is taking care of her" Jess nodded when Haru appeared in the window "Lady Jess, your uncle wants you home, Vampire boy bring her" he said only to disappear. Rick growled but sighed "Come on let's get you home before your uncle has a fit" Jess nodded by stepping over to Oichi and kissing her forehead "You better call me when you up sis" "I'll make sure it's the first thing she does when she wakes up." Sakamoto says.
In the next couple of days, Jess had fights with her uncle making her disappear one day. The whole Mikcloud house was in chaos, Rick didn't know where she was. It was almost nighttime, and Jess hasn't been found, Rick burst through his father's "Why can't I find her! I can't even feel her!" Zach sat at his desk, Seth was there for their weekly chess games, moving a chess piece "Son, if she wants to be left alone then leave her alone" "Quite true." Seth says moving a chess piece.
Zach chuckled "Good move" he moved another piece taking one of Seth's pieces. Rick growled punching the whole making a small whole "f*cken Jetter! It's his fault she ran off and hide!" Zach shook his head "What was the fight about again?" Rick groaned "over her not allowed to see Oichi for a while... Oh, how stupid of him!" "Yes well, the wolf cub has been under lock down for a few days after being taken. Though it is quite silly of him to keep those girls apart. They have quite a strong bond." Seth says before chuckling. "Checkmate." Zach's eyes widen at Seth king-ing him "Well sh*t... I lost" "Good game as always." Seth says.
Oichi was sitting in her bed wearing a nightgown, on bed rest. She could scene her grandfather's men lurking about keeping an eye on her. Yain and Terry were on the roof and Samuel was with Danni at work. She looked down and pulled up her gown. She was still healing from the wound that Mikey gave her. "Is this how slow humans heal...it must be quite a bother..." She sighs sadly. The poison in her body was spreading and because of it, her healing properties were stopping.
To make matters worse Jess had disappeared and no one could find her. If she wasn't locked in the house, she'd be out looking for her. She frowned. 'I hope she's okay...' The door to the room opened and Sakamoto walked in. "Hey hun, how are you feeling?" Oichi smiles. "I'll be doing better when I'm all healed up." Sakamoto put his things down and slid into the bed with her, kissing her cheek. "I missed you. I swear being apart from you makes me go crazy sometimes." Oichi giggled. "Well, now you know how Rick feels." Sakamoto chuckled. "Maybe but now that I'm here I can tell your all tense so let me help you relax a bit." He says kissing her neck. Oichi blushed. "B-But the guards are outside." "Don't care. I think I'm allowed to touch you whenever I please." He says as he slips under the blankets.
Now dark out, in the Ravenswood cometary in a stone old gazebo, inside it, Jess was laying down on a stone bench. She was wearing a Black tank top with a design graphic theme of an ocean adventure with a ship and giant octopus. Skinny jeans that are a soft dark acid wash denim that has beautiful subtle shades of blue, grey, and black and her favorite galaxy converse. Around her neck was Jade Dragon Necklace. Her normal necklace cracked when she used her powers against the men when Oichi was kidnapped. Her uncle made her put this on to keep her magic in check. Sighing she closed her eyes "stupid uncle..."
Then Jess felt something, she sighed and lay there "Damien, you know it's not nice to spy" Damien landed next to the gazebo she was on, he was wearing guns and roses shirt, black skinny jeans, black converse, and Versatile and stylish jersey hoodie/cardigan, it gave him a dark layering piece with an oversized hood, draping long length front and strategically placed pentagram statement back. "Well damn you sensed me, and I was gonna scare ya" he said with a chuckle. Jess glared at him "What do you want Damien?" he sighed sitting inside the gazebo and sat down next to her "Your making Rick worried..." Jess leaned back more on the bench "I don't care... I want a day and night by myself... I just can't take my uncle's presence right now and yes even ricks overbearing mode" Damien chuckled and reached to her pulling her into his chest making her eyes widen, her face blushed "What are you doing...?" Damien raised his eyebrow "Hugging you?" Jess pouted but didn't pull away.
"You know I've been jealous of rick since from day one" he admitted, Jess blinked but pulled away from him "Why...?" Damien glanced at her, reached out he cupped her cheek "Because he has you...." Without warning he leaned in quickly and planted a passionate kiss on jess's lips, this made her eyes widen in shock and her body froze up from the shock. Damien, being him, moaned slightly only to deepen the kiss had his lips opened, and moved more. Jess's lips unable to control themselves moved along with his lip but within ten seconds Jess has snapped out of being shocked and pushed him away standing up with an upset look on her face "what the f*cking hell?!" Damien stood up "Jess listen I'm sorry I don't know what came over me.... It's.... that it's you..." Jess turned to him slightly tear "You made me cheat!" Damien blinked at her and held up his hands in defense "Whoa, whoa there, you didn't cheat... if you did... you would have gone all the way with me.. which I dream about to be honest" Jess's eyes widened more and her face got redder with embarrassment "you god damn PERV!" Damien couldn't help to chuckle at her 'god she's so cute...'
Makoto fell to the floor. She looked up, holding her reddened cheek. Towering over her, was her mother, Matsuri. "You slu*t... you can't do anything right and now you go this to me!! Now, what am I going to do? Huh??? It's bad enough that your brother is dating that wolf girl but now you..." She closed her eyes and glared at her. "Now you've gone and shamed my name even more!!!" Makoto tears up and looks down. Beside her was a broken pregnancy test. "Mother I'm...sorry." "Save your breath. I should have known this was going to happen anyway. You were always a disappointment. Saki was my best chance to continue a pure bloodline and when he got taken from me by that child I thought maybe you could have finally broken though but no...I place too much hope in you. You are so damn worthless." Makoto was heartbroken at her mother's words. "Get out of my sight for now. Tomorrow morning, we are getting rid of that thing." Makoto's eyes widen. "NO!!!" Matsuri frowned. "What??" Makoto bit her lip and got up. "I'm not letting you kill it...so...so screw you and this stupid family!!!" She grabbed the test and ran out the door. Matsuri sighs. "Such a troubling child...how I wish she was more like Saki..."
Back at the cemetery, Damien chuckled as he tried to calm Jess down. "Come on let's go get some ice cream, my treat" Jess pouted and huffed but sighed "Alright... I want a large vanilla ice cream cone!" Damien chuckled "alright" As Damien was about to grab her hand, he sensed something wrong. He quickly moved in front of Jess; the Gazebo exploded from a fireball.
Both he and Jess were tossed back from the amount of power from the fireball. Jess laying on the ground, coughing groaning in pain hosted herself up in her elbow looked around, and noticed the gazebo was completely destroyed. Her eyes widen "Damien!" she looked around and noticed Damien was not far but unconscious. She could tell he suffer more of the damage; He was bleeding badly. His regeneration was already healing him but slowly.
"ha-ha," a twisted evil laugh echoed through the air. Jess's eyes widen again in fear. She recognized it right away. The sound of footsteps echo, and she turned her head to them. A figure in the smoke was walking towards her "I finally found you ha-ha" Jess was frozen in fear, the black figure finally out of the smoke. A Tall teen boy wearing a black cloak the hood over his head and covering his face walked towards Jess. His eyes were piercing demon purple eyes.
"Very good on the barrier witch, you know why I'm here witch?" He stopped in front of her crouching down "Well do you Jess?" He smirked showing his demon fangs.
She started at him "Cien...." He laughed, her fear then was gone, and she glared at him. "ohh I haven't seen that glare from you since I bite your lovely neck" She bite her lip in anger, She moved quickly. Moving her arm, she punched him sending a high voltage of lightning to throw at him, pushing him backward. She stood up "You will pay for what you did to me! You betrayed my friendship! I trusted you!" The aura around her changed, she was serious.
Cien got up slowly and groaned from the pain he just inflected. He started to laugh "That's more like it! Darcaniea told me to give you a message, so here it is 'soon I will be coming for you, kill your lover in front of your eyes then I will kill you in front of your friends and then kill your friends!' God, I love Darcaniea she's is just a perfect dark witch for me, I wonder what you would be like in bed" He grinned looking at her up and down licking his lips, making Jess shiver "Oh my god you're insane... you're a sicko..." He frowned at her "You know what, I don't care what she said I'm gonna enjoy taking you!" He charged at her, but a black flash went in between them and Cien stopped in his tracks. It was Damien, he was fully awake and healed and pissed off, but this is not what made him stop. Damien had transformed into his demigod demon form, Damien's demigod demon form was something to see, Jess has never seen this form and it was enchanting but dark and she can feel the dark aura from him that made her body shiver. He growled at Cien "Leave or I will drag you back down to the underworld where I will personally torture you"
Cien bite his lip in anger but turned around "Until next time, prince Damien, he won't be around forever to protect you Witch, soon Darcaniea will come for you, and no one will stop her" Cien disappeared in a flash. Jess clinched her fits "What the hell I had him! You should have let me take him!" she shouted at Damien. He sighed and turned around "look at you" she looked down, she was wounded and not knowing there was a piece of glass stuck in her side. She frowned "you would have not last against him, You are wounded badly!" he shouted back.
From all the anger she could not feel in pain, she frowned. "Come on let's get you back home" he said as he transformed back into his human look. Just then jess fell backward passing out from her wounds, Damien caught her and carried her bridal style "for a second time I'm saving you" he chuckled as wings appeared on his back and took off into the night.
At the bar, Danni was mixing a drink when the door opened. Two people walked through. One was a very tall and slim male with brown hair in a low ponytail and green eyes and dark skin. Beside him was a light skin woman. She had pink hair with green tips that went down to her back. They were holding hands as they walked in. When they spotted Danni, they went to her. "Excuse me? Are you Danni Tanaka?" Danni frowned. "Yeah. Are you two humans? I smell dirt and herbs and other medicine on you..." The woman smiled. "Yes, we are...are humans not allowed at the bar?" She asks. Danni shook her head. "No, everyone is welcomed here. I don't judge and I won't have anyone else who steps foot in here judging either. Take a seat." The couple complied and sat down.
"Forgive our rudeness we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Reo Nakahara and this is my wife Himari Nakahara. We are Florina's parents." Danni smiled. "Little Flo? Aw, she's so adorable! I'm happy that I get to meet you two." Reo and Himari smiled back. "It's nice to put a name to a face. We have a son at home too. His name is Sai." Danni picked up a glass. "So, what can I do for you?" Reo leans on the bar. "Well, we just wanted to meet you while we were still in town." "Oh? You don't live here or something?" "Oh, it's not that. We are researchers. We travel all over the world collecting what others can't. It's a wonderful job and we get to see the world and things like that. We hope that when Flo and Sai become of age, they can join us one day." Himari nodded. "We moved them here because it looked like a peaceful place to settle down in for a while. I was so shocked though when Florina came home and told me she made a friend with a werewolf. She was just tickled pink." Danni laughed. "I know the feeling. When Oichi made her first friend she couldn't stop talking about her." They laughed together. "So, listen, how about we all go out us, you, Oichi, and her dad?" Reo says. Danni waves her hand. "I left her dad besides I don't even know where the bum is." "I see. Sorry about that." Danni shrugs. "It's okay. Nonetheless, Oichi and I would be happy to join you guys for dinner one day." She pours three shots of vodka and passes it to them. "Cheers to making new friends!" They held up the shot glass and clink it together.
It did not take long for Damien to get to the manor, he kicked the door open "JETTER!" He shouted. Jetter, in the living room, heard Damien shout. He got up from the couch he was sitting with his sister "What's going on" He walked out and stop dead in his tracks, He was caring Jess mortally wounded and bleeding. "What... the..." he moved quickly by them "Damien what happen?!"
Violet was already on the steps and her eyes opened wide "What happen Damien?"
"Cien attacked her" Jetter's eyes widened as so did Violet's "In the lab now" he quickly moved to his lab with Violet, Damien, and the butler following.
Once down in the lab Damien put jess down on the table, and Jetter kicked him out. Jetter and Violet worked on healing Jess.
It took 2 hours to fully heal her, she was woke after they healed her she walked out of the lab, Damien had that 'thank god your alright' look on his face and walked up to her and hugged her "I was so worried" She smiles a little "I'm fine Damien" she then pushed him away and looked at him "Thank you for saving me" Damien hid his flush and nodded.
Jetter walked out "we have to be on our toes now, she will come for you any day we don't know, we have to make some barriers around some safe points in the town so she cannot enter" he looked at Violet who nodded "Yes, of course, Hun I will place barriers, where do you want me too?"
"Mainly the high school and the Chinese restaurant" Jetter said "Start on it now" Violet nodded "Alright Hun" and she walked away.
Jetter looked at his niece who was looking at the floor "Jess, why don't you get some sleep" without lifting her head or even saying anything Jess left the room leaving everyone to watch her leave.
At Oichi's, she was sleeping. Sakamoto was rubbing her head. "You are still weak to pleasure huh. So cute." He lays down beside her and was about to fall asleep when his phone rings. He sighs and turns over to see who was calling. It was his father. Sakamoto shakes his head and answers it. "Yes, father." "Hi, Saki. I was wondering if your sister is with you?" "Makoto? No, she'd never come close to Oichi and even if she tried, she'd be stopped at the door." Hayate sighs. "I see." "Did she run off again?" "Yes, she had a fight with your mother, and she left the house. I don't know what happen, but Matsuri is in tears. That girl..." Sakamoto frowned. "Uh-huh...well I'll keep a lookout for her I guess..." "Thank you, son. Tell Oichi I said hi and don't forget to ask her to come over on Thanksgiving. You know for your birthday and everything. Maybe even go all the way this time around." Sakamoto blushed slightly. "Really father!?" Hayate laughs. "Well, your grandfather isn't the only one waiting just so you know. I'm quite excited for you and my future daughter-in-law." Sakamoto's face got even redder. "Sheesh...ok, ok enough, I'll ask when she's feeling better..." Hayate chuckled before Sakamoto hung the phone up. "Even though the phone he is embarrassing..." He puts the phone down and lays back down next to Oichi who curls up to him.
