Italian that is understood by the person it is being spoken to
Extra emphasis or Lucifer's telepathy
You'll get the hang of it…
And now here's something I haven't done in a while…
Reviewer Corner: My Two Review Angels ^_^
Ruby::
Why? Because Sirius isn't Italian that's why ^_^ Do you honestly think I would just leave you guys with a plot twist like that? Don't answer that…

Hermione 2::
No, the disease is no fun at all… You may like Sirius better… but Lucifer is a pretty damn cool guy, but just you wait and read this chapter… THEN you can tell me what you think will happen.

Let it be known that Togechukku… or Darkness Song is my God: go worship him… NOW!
Love is a Battlefield
[Chapter Five]
I'm coming in the graveyard
with my little tune,
it's June
I said she's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
to sing you to sleep now

"Aradia! Stop him!" Diana shouted angrily, pointing down in to the mirror where Sirius was currently beating Lucifer senseless.
Aradia rolled her violet eyes before standing up and looking down on her mother and father, "Behave you two, I don't want to come back and find that I have a new brother or sister to share a legacy with. You know the fates wont like it, they'll have to change most everything about our heirs, including sexual preferences to compensate you're libido Father."
"Quiet you," Lucifer said quickly, "You know you're mother doesn't like sex," he turned to Diana with a large grin on his face, "Isn't that right sister dearest?"
Diana only narrowed her eyes and looked back in to the mirror, smirking evilly as Sk- Gemini, tackled the stupid mortal to the ground in defense for her brother.

"COME SFIDA VOI!" Gemini screamed as she pinned Sirius to the ground, a wild uncontrolled anger in her now familiar eyes, "È il mio fratello e lo curerete con rispetto. Come potete dire lo amate!" she hissed, inches from his face, "Quando neppure non conoscete chi sono!"
"Gemini," Lucifer said calmly, putting his hands on her shoulders, prying the enraged assassin off of the terrified mortal, "He doesn't understand. You have to calm down and rest."
"No Lucifer," Gemini moaned, powerlessly trying to pull herself from her brothers strong grip, "No… no… no… oh mia Dea."
And they were gone, leaving Dumbledore shocked, confused, but accepting of what just happened.
He had just gone stark raving bonkers.
Perhaps Madame Pompfrey had a potion for this sort of thing.

Sirius blinked.
And then he blinked again.
And just to be sure that he was actually seeing what he thought he was seeing, he blinked a third time.
After the third blink he came to the conclusion that he must either be dead, dying or he fell asleep watching muggle porn again.
He had no idea where he was, but all he knew was that Gemini was straddling his hips, the same light in her eyes she held back in school when ever she was playing Quidditch or after she had an argument with him. Her long hair hung over her shoulders, spilling on to the ground around them as she panted for air, her lips full and pouty and Sirius had the sudden urge to grab her behind the head and smash his lips on to her, invade her mouth and…
That was when she punched him.
'tsk tsk tsk' an amused voice inside his mind taunted, 'must never get her mad, or have those nasty thoughts about her. Especially when her brother is a telepath who can project your thought patterns in to her pretty little antisocial mind.'
Sirius's eyes widened as he looked over towards Lucifer, who stood with his arms crossed over his chest in a very smug matter that could have challenged his own if he weren't pinned down by a sadistic psychopath who had her mind set on turning him in to a fine puree of blood and tissue sprinkled with grounded bone for flavor.
'Gemini was never a good cook, she would more beat you and leave you for dead.'
"Gemini stop," a clam voice said form behind Lucifer, whose smile only grew to a broad grin as he stepped to the side, leaving Sirius in awe.
And having his pants feel noticeably tighter than they should have been at the moment.
Aradia stood clad in what the gods found appropriate, a sheer black robe with silver embroidery around the edges made of the element she was attributed for, in her case, magic and the moon. The robe wore like a toga, falling over her feet and hanging in large, loose folds under her arms and around her torso, her chest considerably visible.
'pervert'
Sirius glared once again at the man before turning his eyes toward the subdued killer on top of him as she rose skillfully to her feet, her eyes in wide in awe.
"Aradia?" Gemini asked softly, her brow furrowed in confusion as she looked at the goddess before her, "help me,," she murmured, dropping to her knees in front of the goddess, not in a sign of worship, but of exhaustion, "Allow me to seek my vengeance."
Aradia only smiled as she knelt down in front of Gemini, putting one glimmering hand on her shoulder, the other on her sweating cheek, "You are truly my mother's child. I will allow you to do anything in your power to seek your revenge."
"Wait," Sirius choked out, three set of immortal eyes lying upon him, "Gemini always told me about the rule of three. Won't it come back to her?"
"… three times your act returns to thee," Gemini began slowly as the memory flooded back, "this lesson well you must learn-"
"For the only gets what thee dost earn," Aradia finished, a smug smile on her face, "How many times my mother has heard those words I cannot count. You see mortal, with Gemini and Pollux there is a lot of red tape. We don't follow the rules we enforce upon the moral realm. Seeing on how they are demigods, they are the exception rather than the rule."
"Pollux?" Lucifer scoffed, a smirk on his tanned features, "No one has called me Pollux in I don't remember how many years. Why bring it up?"
Aradia nodded her head slightly and said with a smile, "Do you know how hard it is to call you Lucifer? I get you and my father confused all the time and with that fallen angel and his bitch Satan in hell from the Christian plane screwing everything up," she sighed putting her head in one of her glowing hands, "I call you Pollux, regardless of your many aliases."
"I like Lucifer better," Lucifer pouted, his eyes gleaming.
Sirius could find no humor at all in this situation and he was vaguely aware that he was bleeding from the mouth and he would be sporting a very lovely black and blue in a few hours.
"Excuse me," he said loudly, drawing their attention back to him, "Where do I come in to play with this. I remember back when Gemini gave me this whole long thing about her shagging her brother and having his kid who would be the messiah of the old religion and everything, and-"
"Ah yes," Aradia laughed, her golden voice echoing off of the paper thin walls, "The glass shattering incident, quite nasty. You should have believed her Sirius. It would have made things so much easier on her part. It gave the fates a head ache after you declined, they had to give her this," she spread her arms out in front of her, "new path for things to work out."
"What!" Gemini screamed, "I became an assassin because he didn't believe me!" her head whipped towards the frightened mortal who was quivering in the presence of the Gods, "You owe me."
"What are we going to do now Aradia," Lucifer asked softly, ignoring the hungry look in his sister's eyes as she stared at him, "We can't just let her kill him."
"Yes we can," Gemini said flatly, tearing his eyes from Sirius.
"I suppose your right," Aradia sighed, slumping down on the red, moth eaten couch, "I have let too many people be killed, my family is number one on the fates 'to beat senseless if we could' list," She pursed her glistening lips in thought. She looked up, a small smile on her face, "What do you say mother? Shall I let her play?" she rolled her eyes, "Their fighting again. MOTHER," the goddess yelled, impatiently, "Don't make me come up there! Now should I let her kill the bastard or not?" a pause, "Why in the name of Cel not!" the goddess sighed, rolling her eyes, "Yes father."
"What did they say," Lucifer asked softly.
"My mother said that she can't kill Fudge, not at this time anyway. It's not his time," She rolled her violet eyes, "And Father told me to call you Lucifer. He said it's a cooler name than Pollux.
Lucifer just grinned and said lightly, "Told you."
"So what are we going to do now?" Gemini asked, slumping down on the ground, suffering from a slightly shock.
"I tell you what we're going to do," Lucifer said slyly as he knelled down in front of his estranged sister, 'we are going to fuck with his mind. Let's go.'
"Not your not," Aradia warned, standing up, "I told you, you can't kill him."
"Yes," Lucifer said silkily, waving a slender hand in the air as his sister leaned on him for support, "But you know us, we Cielo's have a way of slipping through the system. And I do believe Fudge is on call for a little mental mind fuck."
"If you send him away to a mental ward I swear Lucifer-"
"Not to worry Aradia," Lucifer reassured the worried goddess, bowing his head, "His life, as well as his sanity rest in my hands."
"That's what I'm worried about."
"You," Lucifer said, jerking his head towards a badly beaten Sirius, "Mortal, get cleaned up. You need to help us."
"With what?" Sirius snapped, his silver eyes narrowed.
"She cant speak English, she can only understand it, you're her partner and we need you to help us get to this Fudge character before darling Gemini over here spontaneously combusts from the sheer energy that seems to be radiating off of her psychopathic body right now so if you'll pardon my rashness I am not in the mood to be telekinetically combusted thank you so if you'll please move that cute little ass of yours in to the bath room and get cleaned up we can leave faster and the faster we can leave the less of a chance we die, Alright?" Lucifer said quickly, not stopping for a breath as he shot Sirius a lusty grin.
Sirius dragged himself to his feet, grumbling all the while as he stumbled in to the bathroom, flicking on the dim light that blinked faintly, illuminating the room in a soft yellow glow.
He turned the faucet on, waiting ceremoniously for the water to turn clear when what Lucifer had just told him sunk in faster than poor Peter Pettigrew trying to swim.
Cute little ass?
'What? You want more description. That can be arranged you know' Lucifer taunted, his mental chuckle filling Sirius's mind, 'Now hurry up before I give you a spanking.'
Sirius paled considerably.

Lana Tully smiled peacefully as she happily sauntered down the dark halls of the Ministry Building, sublevel two to be exact. Her amber hair was held perfectly in a twisted bun, bright jade eyes sparkling behind black rimmed glasses. Her pale lavender work robes fitted to her body perfectly, accenting her long, lean figure and jutting hips.
Perfectly manicured fingers lightly grasped a manila folder with the words Classified printed boldly in dark red letters on the front. It was for her colleague, Cornelius Fudge, the Junior Minister who was also in charge of the Magical Catastrophes, a department of the Ministry of Magic that Lana also worked in.
Lana was the Ministries 'Peace Ambassador', having successfully kept peace between the neighboring Ministries and being able to smooth over any bumps in the road that Fudge may have created.
Lana was good at her job and Fudge knew it.
There was only one person who got under her skin though. One person that made her life as a peaceful woman horrendously difficult. One person that seemed to dedicated her entire life to doing everything against she stood for.
The one person who was stalking towards her this very moment, flanked by two rather attractive men, one she secretly lusted over and one who she would place.
Wonderful.
"Where is Fudge," Sirius asked, her voice dark and dripping with urgency, "Sky needs to speak to him."
Lana stopped walking, a smile on her face as she forcefully said, "I'm on my way to see him right now. What seems to be the problem?"
"Sky needs to speak to him," Sirius repeated, his silver eyes boring in to her jade orbs.
Lana simply smiled as she turned to look at Gemini, "What's wrong Sky, unable to speak yourself? You seem awfully quiet today."
"Sky has lost her ability to speak during her last mission," Lucifer said skillfully, stepping in for his enraged, yet silent sister, he held out a hand and cranked his charm to full notch as he introduced himself, "Xavier Crawford," he lied, though his façade never proving it, "I am one of Agent Sky's informants, she came to me earlier today and presented her problem to me. I took it upon myself to escort her and her partner, Sirius Black, to the Jr. Minister."
Lana looked skeptically at the cocky man as she turned a cheerful, yet lustful smile towards Sirius, "Is this true Sirius?"
Sirius smiled a grin that over powered Lucifer's and replied, "It appears so Lana, so if you could escort us to Fudge," he asked softly, "I would be in your debt."
Lana's cheeks flushed as he nodded, "Anything for you Sirius," she looked over towards Gemini and 'Xavier' and added in coldly, "Come along."
As the three followed the prim and propped peace professor, Sirius inwardly groaned as he noticed Lana taking in every detail of him hungrily through her deep green eyes.
'What the hell in her problem?' Lucifer asked Gemini as the followed behind Sirius and a Lovesick Lana.
'Lana and half of the other population here have a crush on Sirius, anything he asks for, if he does it right, is handed to him on a silver platter.'
'I can see why,' Lucifer commented as her dark eyes focused of Sirius's aforementioned 'cute little ass'.
Gemini inwardly groaned, 'Oh not you to,'
'Hey what can I say? When you have the looks of a god you have to look for the cream of the crop.'
"Hello Jr. Minister," Lana said cheerfully as they reached the missions room, breaking the twins silent conversation. "Here is the folder you have requested, and I have someone who wishes to speak to you."
Gemini's face broke out in to a wide, sadistic grin as she pushed past Lana and Sirius and stalked towards Fudge, watching with glee as he backed in to the room, a look or fear lingering in his beady eyes.
"Assistere, buon pomeriggio," Gemini said with a light tone, knowing her native voice would not registered in Fudge's narrow mind, "Sarà vostro dura,"
"W-what?!" Fudge stammered as he backed up in to the missions table, his eyes wide in fear, "SKY! What is the meaning of this!"
Lana looked on in fear as Lucifer and Sirius stood with identical looks of understanding and sadism.
Gemini reached behind her, grabbing her field knife with calloused fingers as she said, "Il mio nome è Gemini," she growled, grabbing the frightened mans shoulder, whipping him around and pressed the field knife up to his neck, "Li Odio,"
Fudge cried out in horror as a small voice echoed in his head in the form of a young man, 'My name is Gemini. I will kill you.'
Fudge could vaguely hear Lana's scream of terror as ministry officials filled the room, shouts and screams only seeming like echoes of a long forgotten dream as he slipped in to darkness.
Li Odio.
I will kill you.
Chelsea: Bah
Lucifer: What's wrong Chelzerelli?
Chelsea: [sniff] Gemini's mad at me.
Gemini: [glares]
Lucifer: That's 'I hate you' in Geminese by the way.
Chelsea: [rolls eyes] thank you for that wonderful observation captain obvious.
Gemini: [glares]
Chelsea: Don't look at me in that tone of voice young lady!
Lucifer: Erm, Zerelli… she's older than you…
Chelsea: [grumble] shut up.
