Ruthra was pulling himself away, before the demon awoke and grabbed at him.

'Fine if you want to live with them, I can give you that.' It yelled as it managed to pin Ruthra under it and then pressing both of its hands to Ruthra's chest. Ruthra screamed in pain, even as it coughed up blood it kept its hands on Ruthra. It grinned with its bloodied lips as it played around with Ruthra's soul.

'Souls are so fragile, aren't they?' It laughed as it coughed out more blood. 'I will make sure that you live, aren't I so kind.' Ruthra hardly registered most of the words as he tried and failed to get its hands off of him. Then it was pulled off with a growl, then a flash of blue appeared as the pain died away.

'Ruthra?' Vivi asked as she looked down on him, he seemed to be alive, but there was no movement from him or recognition. 'Come on say something.' She urged as Arthur joined her.

'I know you are alive, blink do something.' Arthur yelled, then he saw it. A recognition, Ruthra blinked and sat up quicker than the two of them though. He padded himself over and then looked over at the demon that was losing life.

'The hell did you do?' Ruthra yelled and stood up, even if he swayed. The demon grinned.

'You should thank me, you don't need to worry about that body of yours dying. You are that body now.' It said as it wheezed for air. Ruthra was shocked into silence as the others tried to figure out what had happened.

'Change me back.' Ruthra yelled as he lunged at it. 'Right now, I never want a human body again.' Vivi got in front of him and held him to keep him in place.

'What do you mean you don't want a body, why where you after Arthur then.' Vivi asked, she felt Ruthra start to shake.

'That's why I didn't take over Arthur when I had the chance, I don't want emotions. I don't want to feel again.' He said in defeat and pulled away from Vivi, the demons laugh filled the cave.

'You were no demon, but you tried so hard to be. Maybe if you had been in that cave that little bit longer, became that little bit madder, then you may have become a demon.' It said and Ruthra lunged again, this time succeeding in getting to it. His hands where around its neck faster than any one could react, Mystery grabbed onto Ruthra's shirt and lifted him off of the demon, Lewis pulled them apart. Ruthra growled as his hands came loose and Lewis took over to hold him off the ground away from him. The demon fell silent and still after a while, and they all knew that it had died. Ruthra had calmed down somewhat and Lewis lowered him to the ground, once he had managed to stand he intently started to walk away. Mystery wrapped his tails around the body and the rest of them followed behind, once they had managed to get out all but Ruthra let out a sigh of relieve. Once they got to the van, Arthur fetched a shovel that they kept in the van. He and Lewis want with Mystery to go find a place to bury the demons body. Ruthra had done back up his tree and stayed there, Vivi started up a fire and got the van ready for them to sleep in. Then she was left with nothing else to do, so she went to do check on Ruthra.

'Ruthra?' Vivi called and looked up at him, when he didn't answer she continued. 'Are you hungry?' No answer, she did notice, however, that he was hugging his left arm. She left and got some bandages from the first age kit and then returned.

'Do you want to bandage your arm?' She asked and that made Ruthra turn his head, he sat up and jumped down just in front of her. His left hand had been in his pant pockets ever since the demon had died, it was in there at that moment. Vivi wanted to look, to look at the scar, at the tinged skin, but she knew now wouldn't be the time. She returned to the fire as Ruthra went to sit on his bike, Vivi was pulling out the cooking supply's as the three returned. Lewis was quick to start cooking them some dinner and Arthur went to lay down in the back of the van. Mystery, who had changed back to his smaller size, went to join Vivi by the fire. Ruthra finished bandaging his arm and went to lean against the tree trunk, he brought his knees to his chest and hide his head in his arms.

Lewis sighed as he looked over at Ruthra, his head was still in his arms. Much like how Arthur sat when he would hide from the world, this irritated him a bit because he wanted to go over to Ruthra and comfort him. Ruthra looked like the kid that he did in fact look like. Vivi looked up from the fire to see Lewis looking over at Ruthra, she put another log onto the fire before standing up and walking over.

'Mystery says that he is indeed a part of that body now, his soul now sits in the middle of it all.' She says and stole a piece of pasta that Lewis had just drained.

'I still don't like him, human or demon.' Lewis said firmly and slapped her hand away when she tried to take another piece. 'Dinner will be soon.' He muttered and Vivi pouted.

'Do you think he is going to be alright?' Vivi asked looking over at Ruthra.

'I honestly don't know, I guess this is now for him to deal with.'

'Do we have any cookies?' Vivi asked and Lewis looked up from what he was doing to look at her.

'No, not before dinner.' Lewis said and Vivi was smiling.

'Not now, for after dinner.' She said and rolled her eyes.

'Then yes we do. Can you go get Arthur, hopefully he isn't asleep.' Lewis asked and Vivi headed for the van, she found Arthur awake and playing around with the stun gun that he had finished while they had been on the road. He saw her and put it down.

'I could have had with me and maybe I could have had done something, instead of Ruthra having to have fought for me.'

'Well it can't be helped that you got kidnapped, while we are on it. How did Ruthra get captured?' Vivi asked and Arthur pointed to his mechanical wrist. 'The bind?' And Arthur nodded to that.

'He said that he felt weak kneed when I was knocked out.' He said.

'That is how the bind is meant to work, so there isn't anything that we can do. Lewis asked me to get you for dinner.' Arthur nodded and got up from his spot to walk out with Vivi, the two of them sat on the bummer of the van as Lewis gave them their plates. Vivi ate fast enough and jumped up when finished, swapping around plates that Lewis had in hand and took it to Ruthra while Lewis refiled Vivi's plate.

'Ruthra dinner.' Vivi sang, but Ruthra didn't even look up. Vivi keeled down in front of him. 'Oh come on you need to eat, you have had a big day.' Vivi tried and brought the food closer.

'If I eat will leave me alone.' Ruthra asked, he sounded muffled through this arms.

'Sure.' Vivi said and placed the plate on the ground, Ruthra pulled his head out of his arms enough so that Vivi saw his eyes as she stood. She bit her lip when she saw how red and wet they were, Vivi didn't say a thing about it and left him alone. She bounced over to Arthur and grabbed on to his arm, he had to move his plate over to his other hand to keep his food on his plate.

'Oh my god, he is crying.' Vivi said in a hushed voice and then she shook his arm.

'Yea? So?' Arthur asked.

'Arthur when was the last time that you saw him cry.' Vivi asked, pulling away a little.

'When memory's started to resurface, when he felt emotions.' Arthur answered.

'Well considering how long he had gone without them, there is no surprise that he is like this now.' Mystery said before licking his plate clean. 'He will most likely be moody and getting used to feeling again.'

'So he is going to be a teenager?' Lewis asked as Vivi took her second plate full.

'Precisely.' Mystery said before he picked up his plate to return it to Lewis. 'And if we don't want him to return to how he was before, I hate to say it, but we need to become his friends.'

'That shouldn't be that hard, we just need to think that he is a new person. A stranger that we just met.' Vivi said and smiled.

'That's not going to be easy, Vivi, not at all.' Lewis said with a sigh.

'That shouldn't be easy for any of you.' Mystery said and then turned to Arthur. 'What do you think, you are the one that he gave the most trouble to.' Arthur was silent for a while before speaking.

'I am willing to try.' He said and looked over at Ruthra, he then frowned and the others looked as well. Ruthra wasn't at the tree, his bike was there but he wasn't, Arthur stood up and followed in the direction that he was. Vivi followed behind and Lewis stayed behind with Mystery. They found Ruthra just beyond the tree line pacing around and mumbling to himself.

'I am a demon, what else am I?' He had said and Vivi was going to leave their hiding spot before Arthur stopped her. 'I don't need friends, they back stab, leave you when you are not needed.' Ruthra mumbled and stopped pacing. 'Hell Orange knows this.' Vivi looked at Arthur, who shuffled nervously. 'And he still believes in them.' Ruthra made a noise of frustration and grabbed at his head. 'I just don't get it!' He yelled to the sky.

'It's not that hard to understand.' Arthur said, showing their hiding place. The two of them stepped out from behind the tree that they had ended up hiding behind, Ruthra span in his spot to face them. 'I think what you forget is that I have been with these guys for years and we formed a bond. We didn't just met one day and decide that we were friend.'

'Well we sort of did.' Vivi said and leaned towards Arthur with a smile.

'You aren't making this any easier you know.' Arthur mumbled and Vivi grinned.

'Well for you two. Lewis saved you from being stuffed into a locker and then afterwards you paid him back by giving him maths lessons, you two couldn't say apart for long after that.' She said and Arthur gave a small smile as he remembered.

'You know you didn't make it any easier to understand.' Ruthra said with a sigh.

'Well I don't know what to tell you, maybe you just got to go along with this and figure it out on the way.' Arthur said and pinched the bridge of his nose.

'So just do what I had been doing before, I can do that.' Ruthra said and ran his hands through his hair.

'Hey are you alright? How are you with the sudden rush of emotions?' Vivi asked and Ruthra was trying not to look at her.

'To tell you the truth.' He said and looked at her. 'I hate it, I get sudden rushes of emotions and then I just feel miserable.' He admitted and looked away. 'I knew I should have just chopped off my arm and left this body when I had the chance.' Ruthra sighed.

'That wouldn't have worked, you would have killed yourself.' Vivi said, cutting the silence and Vivi looked at her. His mouth opened his mouth to speak and then closed it, he looked at Vivi as if he was looking for a sign that she was lying. Her face was straight and there wasn't any sort of sign that she was lying.

'You're kidding me.' Ruthra said slowly. 'We were trying to get you back the way you where before and get you back out of the arm.' She then paused before continuing on. 'So that we could seal you back in the cave or into some sort of object.' Vivi looked away and didn't see as Ruthra gave her a frown.

'Well can't really get mad at you for that, I am just glad that I didn't actually go through with it.' Arthur looked at Vivi and then Ruthra, both of them looked uncomfortable.

'You didn't finish your dinner.' Arthur commented and Ruthra looked at him.

'I wasn't hungry.'

'You need to eat, that is something I learnt.'

'If you don't eat, you don't get a cookie for dessert.' Vivi said giving him a smile.

'I don't need a cookie.' Ruthra said with a frown.

'You don't need one, but you will want one.'

'No I won't.' Vivi smiled a bit wider.

'We will see.'
