"I want to see Shendu" The enforcers looked at eachother for help in their confusion of what to do. "Take me to him now." Viper said. She didn't need to; Shendu had come down the hall in slow and angry pursuit of the escapee.
"You!" He said, "What are you doing here?" "I came back." Was the simple reply he received. He growled at her for not answering his question. Seeing him become angrier, Viper hastily attempted to stave his rage. "I need to speak to you." She said, matter-of-factly. "You are DOING so now." Shendu said, another growl grating at his throat.
Viper looked around at the enforcers, who were as far from Shendu as possible without leaving an escape path for her. They stared at the heated exchange. "Alone." She stressed the word.
Shendu glared out his red, wary eyes. Alone? What was this little human up to now? Certainly she didn't think she could KILL him! Even if she did: he could always go right back to Valmont and his simi-competent underlings could take her out there. No, hopefully she was too smart for that.
Then what? Shendu mentally groaned. It was probably about what he did to her last time they met. Revenge of some sort, or just a talking to? Females. Humans. Female humans. He was reminded why he disliked the barbaric monkey-creatures so.
"Very well." He said at last. "Come with me." Shendu waved away the enforcers, who obeyed automatically and went back to whatever it was they had been doing. Viper stood her ground, not taking any try at escaping. Shendu noted thus. She really did want to speak.
The demon led the girl into his study-chamber, where she sat down in a chair, stern look on her face. Shendu put himself down regally, opposite the chair, and crossed his arms, adding to the tough impression he was trying to put on. "Am I to assume you came back for more than Chan's life?" He asked. Viper did no more than nod. Shendu would have raised an eyebrow had he had one. "To what, then, do I owe this visit?"
Viper looked at him, solid faced. "I want to stay here." "Here?" Shendu said, shocked but not letting it on. "With you." "Ah, with me, huh?" The demon sorcerer smiled in his dragonish way. So that was it. "And, why should I allow you, an ally to the enemy, to join my side instead of killing you? Especially when you are a high risk of back stabbing and trickery?"
This one stumped Viper. "Shendu. I want you." The demon laughed, utterly amused. "Why, take me then!" He teased. Viper was calm though, and seemed a step ahead of him. She smiled mischievously, "As you wish."
His face no longer laughing, Shendu watched the woman stand up and stroll over to him. Viper was looking at him with most untrustworthy gazes of lust and seduction. His face hinted at his disgust at a human acting in such nature, but she didn't care. She touched his great, clawed hand and ran her palm up his arm. Shendu snorted. "You cannot be serious, little one. What makes you so sure I have affection for you, the friend to my nemesis?"
Viper looked at him, mocking like she was hurt. "Are you so sure you don't?" The demon jerked his arm away from her. "Vile creature that you are! Trying to seduce me? Where does your loyalty lye, little one?!" "If you will take it, my loyalty belongs to you."
With a small, annoyed roar, Shendu stood up. "You intend on leading me to believe you have fallen madly in love with me!? And because of what? The torturous pain I put you through?? Forgive my skepticism! You must wish for your death!" The long, gold tail that hung behind the demon twitched around viciously with anger. He couldn't look at the stupid human, so he instead looked at his Ming Dynasty chest of drawers.
A warm hand touched his back. Shendu turned with a sneer across his long face. "Touch me a second longer and I will light you afire." He said softly, coolly. Viper did not take away her hand. "I could never turn on Jackie, I'm afraid, but I won't side with him if it means hurting you. What we did the other night… It was beautiful. I believe it was something to you too. I don't think you thought of it as nothing." Shendu was listening now. Perhaps the woman did form some insane, human attachment to him. She was also suggesting he had formed a similar one for her. He scoffed at the idea, but, for some reason, did not dismiss it completely, though he felt foolish afterward.
"I want to stay here, be with you. I don't care about any personal battles you have with Jackie. Let me prove myself to you." The demon found himself being caressed by the woman once again. She had hold of his arm and was tracing a trail up and down it. He growled at her lowly. "Prove yourself?" Viper nodded and kissed the muzzle that had turned to face her. Shendu jerked back his head in surprise. "How?" With a sly grin, she kissed him again. "Like this."
The sorcerer snorted in amusement. "You mean to invite me to bed you?!" "If that's what you want to call it."

Chow yawned and scratched his head. "When are we allowed to sleep around here??" Ratso and Finn were the only other two in the room. It just so happened to be the room with the TV, but no one had paid any attention to the device. Ratso had a can of some fizzy beverage, and was sitting at a table, staring at it idely. He was too down at the moment to respond to anything lightly, so Finn was the only one who said anything back, "I don't think Rex-the-Magic-Dragon EVER sleeps. Must go with the whole evil demon sorcerer thing."
Ratso watched out of the corner of his eye while the two made themselves comfy on the couch. Everyone was quiet and, five minutes later, Ratso looked over his shoulder to see the two conked out, snoozing in eachother's arms. Finn had one hand dangling over the dull couch's back, his head hanging back with his mouth ajar. Chow had curled up next to him, resting his weary head on Finn's chest. Ratso felt a bitter pang of jealousy rise in him.
Ratso turned away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Everyone was now quiet. Valmont sat quietly on the foot of his bed, listening for any sounds the demon made. It was fruitless; the demon had left the room next door and lumbered down the hall after Jackie. Hopefully Jackie had made it.
What had become of his life? It was so monotonous since Shendu had started pressing him into mere observation more and more often. So much though that now that he had his body free, he sat like a potato, not knowing what to do with himself. It had been months since he'd last felt another human. He felt cold and alone.
"Jackie, please make it." Valmont whispered to himself.

An out of breath Chinese man burst through the door to the old antique shop. "We are closed." Uncle said. "Uncfulf." Jackie said, breathing so hard it messed up his words. He had run the whole distance from his imprisonment to the shop. "Jackie!" At the loud announcement, Jade and Tohru were soon by Uncle, greeting him with ecstatic relief. "Uncle Jackie!!! You're okay!!!" The girl said repetitively, while hugging onto her uncle.
Tohru, who had been quiet, looked around the room, "Where is Viper?"
Jackie put his face into his hands and groaned, then ran them up to his hair and ruffled it with extreme frustration. "Ahhhhah! Shendu has Viper!" Jackie said. "What!?" "Shendu has Viper!" He repeated, pressingly. All three of his greeters were suddenly dumbstruck. Jade was the first to break the silence with her wail. "Shendu has Viper! I knew this would happen! Why does no one listen to me??"
Jackie, his breathing recovered and more even now, stood up straight and frowned at Uncle. "I have to go back for her." "I'm coming with you!!" said Jade, bouncing up and down to get attention. "No Jade! You will stay- OW!!" He yelped in mid-sentence as two fingers collided with his head.
"Ayiah!" Uncle said, standing athoritvely, wagging a finger in the air, "Not now! Viper is big girl- can take care of self. You are tired. Get rest. THEN YOU CAN FIGHT DEMON SORCERERS! One more thing! Jade, no fighting demon sorcerers, tired or not. One MORE thing! Tohru, need tea." And with that, he left the room.
Jackie sighed heavily. Uncle was right. He was absolutely exhausted and in no condition to beat up bad guys. And, yes, Viper was a big girl. She was probably just fine. He hated it when Uncle was right.
He turned around so he could bang his head on the wall.

Notes: I was thinking: Valmont doesn't have fights. He has flaming rows. Just saying.
Interesting tidbit: although Jade calls Jackie her Uncle and he calls her his niece, technically the word for how they are related is 'cousins once removed.' Interesting, huh? I have a cousin once removed that I'm related to in the same way Jade is related to Jackie (father's father's brother's son) He works at the post office. That's about it.
