F.a.: hello again everyone. I hope you liked that last chapter. This one is going to be shorter (sorry).

John: Damn… I was just sort of getting into it….not….

F.a: shut up john no one cares what you think. Any way, you know the drill, I don't own anything/anyone except Cade, the water demon thingy…yada yada yada. Here we go…

Chapter seven: love blooms?

Cade walked down the street in silence, enjoying the serenity that came from walking down the street. Especially with John. He seemed slightly fidgety for some reason Cade was unsure of but she felt just as uneasy.

"So you normally slay demons?"

"Not exactly. I exorcize them if they possess people and then if they try to mess with the balance I send them back to hell."

"I'm sorry to keep you from your job."

"You are my job." John said matter-of factly. Cade looked up at him surprised before looked down in embarrassment.

"So why am I being attacked by these demons? I mean, what do they want from me?" Cade asked picking a safe topic to talk about. John looked at her and began fidgeting with his jacket again.

"Are you a virgin." John asked trying to keep his face straight. Cade blushed. So much for safe topics.

"I don't think that's information you need to know."

"It might explain why they're bothering you." John said wisely. Cade sighed as her cheeks flushed again.

"Yes…"

"You've never had any kind of sex?" John asked, his interest peaked. Cade looked down innocently, her face still flushed.

"No…"

"Well they may be after you because of that. Other than that, I'm not sure. All I know is that they want you and that's not good." Cade nodded her head understanding. There was an awkward silence between them as they continued to walk down the street both trying to think of some thing to say to the other that wouldn't be stupid.

"Urm…so how did you meet Chaz?" Cade said lamely. John gave a small chuckle and gave a small smile.

"More like how did he find me…and to this day I still don't know. He won't leave me alone." John said and Cade chuckling with him. Suddenly John stopped walking and held up his gun.

"What-"

"Shh. I think sense something." John said listening for the sound he'd heard again.

"Get behind me now." John ordered, not waiting for Cade to follow his order and pushed her behind him. Cade turned around and saw a well dressed man walking towards them.

"Uh…John…"

"Not now…" John snapped back looking around again for the sound.

"John…" Cade said more pressingly to John. He turned around to face her wondering what she could be bothering him about. There, grinning demonically at them both was a very sexy looking female water demon. Cade looked around for the man she'd just seen but suddenly he was gone.

"Hydra," John said with a mix of disgust and hate.

"Nice to see you again Jonny. Hey now, you aren't cheating on me are you?" Hydra said mockily looking at Cade with a fake glare.

"Fuck you." The demon laughed and conjured what looked like a huge orb of water.

"I can arrange that. In fact, I'm sure there'd be a whole line of demons who'd love to get to know you personally…" The demon said hissing at him tauntingly.

"Go to hell." John said as he threw one of his bottles of holy water at the demon. She hissed angrily before she started laughing.

"Jonny, I was born in fire and water. Did you think that would really hurt?"

"No, but I figured this would." John said as he shot the demon. She shrieked and writhed, eventually shattered into drops of water but not with out showering both of them with water. Cade turned to John as she shook off the water on her just as he turned to her. They both leaned to each other uninterrupted as their lips met for the first time. Suddenly there was a clapping sound accompanying laughter behind both of them. John and Cade turned around saw the well dressed demon walking towards them.

"Well don't let me interrupt you two.

"You…" John started to say angrily. The demon smiled.

"I see you haven't changed a bit Jonny-boy."

"Balthazar…" John hissed back at the demon. Cade looked between them stopping to look at the other man. There was something vaguely familiar about him that she couldn't place her fingers on. He suddenly turned to face her with a grin that sent shivers down her spine.

"I must thank you for taking care of Cade. She means the world to me…"

"How do you know my name?" Cade asked unable to keep herself from asking. John shot her a look that said he wished she hadn't said anything. Balthazar laughed and walked closer to her.

"I know your father very well…"

"Didn't I kill you already?" John said sharply hoping Balthazar would get his drift.

"Yes actually. It was quite painful and I can't wait for the next time around. You make it worth it." John growled and took out another bottle of holy water from his jacket, but when he looked up the half breed was gone. He stood there, trying to figure out if he'd just imagined him being there but when he saw the look of confusion on Cade's face, he knew he wasn't hallucinating. He reached for her hand they turned back towards the direction where John lived.

"We have to go back."
