I don't seem to have a very good definition of soon. Whenever I say I'll get another chapter up 'soon' it always takes me two to three weeks, that's just not right. Sadly though, I do have other stories that I have to update though...and one-shots that I feel like writing whenever they come in my head.

Alright, enough excuses, here's the chapter...oh, wait, before we begin, take a look at the rating up there. See that it's a T? Yeah, it's rated T for a reason people, keep that in mind.

The group tried to figure out what to do to possibly undo the spell, but it was a little hard to focus, especially for Deseray. She wanted the spell to be broken, of course, but she couldn't help herself. No matter how hard she tried to concentrate, her mind kept switching over to thinking about Seymour. Sure, he was a human now, but Deseray never really liked demon's anyways, they were too high-strung when they were around her.

She didn't mind that Hsi Wu was a human, honestly, it suited him better. He was always more kind hearted than other demons, and he was so sweet, and kind, and cute...well, in demon terms. It may have been centuries since she'd last seen him, but Hsi Wu hadn't changed at all. Sure, maybe he's a bit wiser, but it's not like that's a bad thing. He was even still the same age as he was before...or, at least the human equivalent of it, seventeen years old.

"Lust, I would prefer it if you didn't do that." Tempus says suddenly, "my brother's in enough trouble as it is, let's not make it worse." Deseray blinks and looks at her hand. She hadn't even noticed that she had been rubbing Hsi Wu's-or Seymour, as Deseray now knew he was called now-leg. Not only that, she had been slowly coming up higher, right up to his thighs. Deseray snaps her hand away and blushes, she had not meant to do that at all, she'd just lost control of her body.

"Alright, can somebody explain what the big deal is already?" Charlie asks, "How is Seymour in trouble?"

Deseray looks at Seymour, she didn't want to tell if he didn't want them to know, but Seymour nodded that it was okay. Deseray turns back to Jade and Charlie to try to explain things.

"Well, think of it like this," Deseray says, "My father is sort of like a king among all demons."

"Which would make Deseray a princess." Seymour says. Deseray blushes and nods.

"Something like that." She says, "Anyways, my father can be sort of a scary guy at times-"

"What? The Devil, a scary guy?" Charlie mutters under his breath, "Now what would give anybody such a crazy idea like that?"

"-And he takes a certain pleasure punishing those that do something he may not like very much." Deseray continues.

"Hm, punishment by the Devil, sounds like fun." Jade says sarcastically.

"Oh yes, being tortured in the very pits of Hell for all eternity, it'll be a blast." Seymour says, his face going very pale and he looked like he was going to be sick any second now.

"I am not going to let that happen," Deseray says, taking Seymour's hands in her own. "My father has no idea about this yet, we can keep this a secret, he doesn't ever have to know, and you don't ever have to be punished."

"I'm still confused," Jade says, "What did Seymour do wrong?"

"He slept with Lust." Charlie says.

"So? What's the big deal?" Jade asks. "Why should he be punished just because of that?"

"Well Jade, tell me, how would Jackie react if me and you screwed around and he found out?" Charlie says. Jade's face goes very red.

"Are you talking about-Are you kidding? Jackie would kill you." Jade says. Suddenly her eyes widen with realization.

"Yeah, it's the same thing with my father." Deseray says. "He doesn't want any of his kids to be intamite about anything, or anybody. The last time one of us got too distracted by something-"

"Let me guess," Jade interrupts, "Atlantis went missing, that's always what it is."

"No, but let's just say that the Egyptian empire would've lasted much longer than Rome, and you'd probably still be worshipping the Egyptian Gods to this day." Deseray says.

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Charlie asks. Jade just shrugs.

"Can we stop with this discussion?" Tempus says, "We need to get to the bottom of this. And Lust, I mean it, hands off my brother." For Deseray had started to cozy up to Seymour again. She hadn't meant to, it just...happened. Seymour sighs and stands up. He takes Deseray's hand and takes her to another room.

"I need to speak to her in private." Seymour says to the others. Once the two of them were alone, Deseray turned on Seymour with a hungry look in her eyes. She moves closer, till her body is up against his. She is so ready to start making out, or maybe even beyond that. What she wasn't expecting though was for Seymour to pull away.

"What are you doing?" Deseray asks accusingly.

"I could ask you the same thing," Seymour says, "This isn't like you."

"I know it isn't." Deseray says, frustration edging into her voice, "But I can't help it, it's the spell. I now want this, I need this." She takes a step forward, closer to Seymour, but he steps back, not about to stand down.

"Fight the spell, Deseray," Seymour says, "I know you're strong enough."

"But the desire is so strong," Deseray says, "I don't know how to fight it."

"Try thinking," Seymour says gently, "If you submit to the desire and we do this, then you may have temporary satisfaction and happiness...but only temporary. Isn't there something else that you want? Something that'll give you a more lasting happiness that you can strive for?"

"Yes, there is," Deseray says slowly. She takes a deep breath, "It's you. Being with you would give me that lasting happiness." Seymours eyes widen and his face goes red, but he smiles.

"I feel the same way," He says quietly, "I care about you, Deseray, but I'm going to give you a tough choice here. You could let the desire take over, but I won't, so you won't get it with me. Or, you could fight it, and I'll be right there beside you to help."

"So, if I want you, I have to fight this?" Deseray asks. Seymour nods and Deseray sighs. "You'd better be there to help me with this. I choose you." As soon as Deseray decided she felt a burning sensation on her chest. Looking down, she sees that the cross tattoo had become lighter and wasn't pitch black anymore. Deseray and Seymour look at it in shock.

"How did you do that?" Seymour asks.

"I honestly have no idea," Deseray says. Not only did the tattoo look different, but she felt different. She didn't feel so feverish and out of control anymore. Sure, the desire was still there, but not nearly as strong as it had been before.

"We've got to go tell the others." Seymour says, "Maybe they'll know what happened." But just as he reached the door it swung open. Jade was standing just outside the room, and she looked nearly as excited as they felt.

"Jade, what's up?" Seymour asks. Jade answers that question with two simple words.

"Sparrow's back."

Hey, that wasn't nearly half as bad as I thought it was going to be. I even explained things a bit, and then threw more stuff in there. Anyways, hope you enjoyed, please review, and all that fun stuff.
