A/N Alright its been a while since I've edited and I have quite a few to go so I figured id get goin on it again. Here's to editing chapter 4.
"I need a favor..." Lucifer said hovering dominantly with her height over Yubaba's desk.
"And what would that be?" Yubaba asked skeptically, her eyes narrowing at the troublemaker.
"Well... You see I may have angered my old man and now he's lookin all over creation trying to find me and I would prefer it if he didn't." Lucifer said reaching her desk.
"Annnd...get to the point." Yubaba said growing impatient.
"Well from what I can tell this bathhouse may just be the perfect hideout and seeing as how you can't refuse I think I'll stay here for a while until father cools his head and I can head back to my place." Lucifer responded with a shrug of her shoulders.
"I suppose I can accommodate your request but everything better be exactly the way it was before you came here when you leave. Your room is just down the hall next to Haku's, judging by the commotion I presume you've come into contact with him?" Yubaba said picking up her pen ready to resume her paperwork.
"Yeas you mean the boy, tall, dark greenish brown hair? I'll be sure to keep this favor from my father by the way should the matter come up." Lucifer said sticking her left hand in her pocket, turning around waving her free hand above her head in a dismissive manner as she walked back through the large doors.
Once they had closed behind her Yubaba let out a sigh, "Last time you came here was after you had been banished, she better not destroy this place again."
Lucifer found Sebastian waiting at the exit for her, "You're much like a dog you know, you refuse to leave your master's side yet you're so quick to talk down to me like a cat." She said teasingly as she walked past him.
"Well it is my right considering I volunteered to serve you." Sebastian said catching up to her walking on her left.
"I wonder what went wrong." Lucifer spoke with a chuckle, Sebastian laughed in agreement as they walked down the long hall that consisted of her room, Haku's and Yubaba's office/room.
"You know you shouldn't drag others into your game of hide and seek with your parents, they're your problem you know."
"Yes I know but where else am I supposed to stay that my father has yet to check, at least not for a while.?" Lucifer stated rather than asked.
"And besides...we always get to meet interesting people along the way."
"Right...and what is it exactly that you've done this time to upset your parents?"
"...I may or may not have taken a certain sword that bares the noble crest from my father's chambers a few nights ago." Lucifer said scratching the back of her head.
"You what?!" Sebastian scream whispered. "You realize stealing from your father may be considered one of the highest forms of criminal acts whether you're family or not!?" He continued.
"Yes I know that but that's what they get having me for a child." Lucifer said placing her hands behind her head. "It's their own fault, not like I was the one who fell in love with the wrong person in the first place." Lucifer said calmly."Not to mention it's still technically my sword." she mumbled.
Sebastian let out a sigh placing his thumb and forefinger on his eyes rubbing the stress out of them. "...Well where is the sword now?"
"In my cloak you can relax, it's perfectly safe."
They both made their way to her room and Sebastian closed the door behind them.
DOWNSTAIRS IN THE BATHOUSE
"Have you heard?"
"I hear she's staying here for at least a week!"
A few of the Yunnas had gathered around where their friend had just been burned alive by that evil woman. Their tears fell to the floor as they wept and sobbed over their lost Yunna while Haku stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed thinking to himself over the loud commotion.
The entire bathhouse was in a frenzy of panic and gossip. Though most were stunned after having witnessed that demon kill without hesitation. The gossip was getting out of control. But every once in a while bits and pieces of information could be heard.
"I heard that the devil was abandoned as a child."
"Well I heard that Lucifer was the illegitimate child of two of the five elemental lords!"
"I wonder where she got all those scars from?"
"I hear that at least once every two months someone is sent up to the palace to receive a punishment."
"That tattoo she had was of a pentagram and was it glowing?"
"I wonder where she got such a strange mark, I've never seen anything like it."
Haku's eyes tightened shut, the crowds intense noise rang through his ears, he could feel a headache working it's way up from the back of his head. He suddenly felt someone bump his shoulder knocking him from his thoughts. He looked to his right to find Lin glaring at him.
"Was this your doing dragon boy!?" Lin yelled into his ear.
"No , I don't know anything about that woman other than she's a killer." Lin didn't bye it at first but she could tell that Haku was just as shocked and confused as everyone else despite his calm demeanor.
"Alright...but if she's staying here than she's your problem!"
"And why is she my problem!?"
"In case you don't remember it was you that she just tried to kill not to mention your second in rank next to Yubaba!"
Haku let out a sigh but agreed to handle her, he would have to do some research, he recognized her dark aura but he couldn't remember where he had experienced it before. That and the unexplainable sense of familiarity with the stranger was nagging at his thoughts.
A frog hopped his way over to where Lin and Haku stood, "Master Haku Yubaba would like to speak to you about our guest right away." the frog delivered the message nervously in the presence of the obviously irritated dragon.
"Alright I'm coming." Haku said then yelling at all of the workers to calm down and get back to work.
Haku resentfully made his way up to Yubaba's office dreading the idea of the request she would make of him.
"You called...?" Haku said, his tone gave away that he was mentally exhausted.
Yubaba continued her paperwork for a few moments then responded looking up slowly acknowledging Haku's presence.
"Yes...wait here for a moment will you." she waved a frog servant over from a corner of her office whispering something in his ear. The frog's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth dropped then he began to sweat. 'Jeez what did she say to him to make him respond like that..?' Haku wondered.
The frog swallowed thickly and loudly before "yes mamming" her than hopping off out the door slowly and regretfully.
Haku watched him leave then turned back to the witch whom had resumed her paper work, the room remained silent as they waited for whatever it was they were supposed to wait for.
After a long 5 minutes passed they heard the large doors being slammed open by a foot, Haku didn't turn around but soon saw a frog fly by him after being thrown by their guest.
"What could you possibly want in the middle of my nap?" an agitated and huskily slightly raspy voice asked from behind Haku who still remained facing towards Yubaba.
She was in a pair of dark red basketball shorts that reached just below her knee caps and a white sleeveless top. Her "tattoo's" thin glowing lines showed faintly through the shirt,she wore the same necklace as when she had arrived, Haku noticed ...the silver chain ran across the back of her neck but it had been tucked underneath her shirt so that was all that could be seen.
Yubaba looked up room her papers at the person who stood at the entrance to her office with eyes that said she was slightly annoyed.
"I just need you two to get acquainted, this boy here is going to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't destroy my boathouse." she said pointing the top of her pen towards Haku.
"Heeeeeeeey..." Haku heard her say walking into the office closer to him.
" I tried to kill earlier." she said pointing at his face in recollection. Haku's face cringed in realization of who had entered the office.
"Don't worry, I won't cause too much trouble for you, besides I probably won't be here for more than a week or so."
She leaned forward to get a view of his eyes..."Just as I thought...I've met you before."
Haku lifted an eyebrow, "I don't recall."
"No you most likely haven't met me in my original form like this, no I probably met you when I hid here the last time..." she rubbed her chin trying to remember.
"...What..." Haku asked dreading her response.
"What was it like 2000 years ago or something...yeah when I was a little girl right Yubaba?"
Haku's eyes widened in realization, that day when Chihiro's presence disappeared, it was Lucifer's presence he felt.
"You...it was You who killed her!" Haku's hands tightened into fists and he turned to face her with feet spread and knees slightly bent as if ready to attack. His teeth clenched and his eyes seemed to set aflame.
Lucifer held an expression he hadn't seen before, it was expressionless but behind her eyes was something else, as if her words were hurting herself. Nonetheless she held eye contact and allowed thin strands of dark flame to slowly circle around her.
"Aww is the poor little dragon pup upset that the human girl he fell in love with is dead?" she taunted him to the extreme, a smirk plastered on her face fangs showing and all as a soft wind picked up in the room.
Moments passed like minutes between the silence of the two who were ready to go at it, but Yubaba would have nothing of the sort happening in her office.
A ball of yellow energy was sent flying between the two striking the double door past them with a massive boom that sent the two out of their little frenzy with one another. Both turned to look at Yubaba who had stood from her chair, hands firmly planted on the desk.
"I will have none of this in my office! My precious baby is trying to sleep! Take your fight out of my bathhouse or stop at once!"
The two stood in silence, their expressions falling flat as their fangs retracted and they stood up straight. Lucifer's flames dispersed and she spoke,
"If that's all that I've been summoned for then I'll be taking my leave." and so she did, walking out of Yubaba's chamber silently, allowing the echoes of the large slamming doors to travel through the long hallways.
A/N Yeah I changed a lot in this chapter, removed an entire scene as a matter of fact. R and R as usual.
