Demoonica's Story: Home

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon

It was a few nights later when a loud alarm from her BishiGear woke Demoonica and Zander from their sleep. "Illigal Bishounen capture attempted. Safety protocal in effect. Bishi World Safety Department notified. For your safety, for your Bishounens' and Bishoujos' safety please attempt to flee. Illigal-" Demoonica grabbed at the wrist worn device and flipped it open, but the only thing on the screen was a flashing red exclamation mark. The computerized voice continued to repeat the message.

"What?" Demoonica murrmered at the device.

Zander rolled over, blinking awake. "What's going on?"

Demoonica shook her head. "I'm.. not... sure." Her gaze drifted over to the stand where her BishiBall Belt lay. "Go check on Damia, would you? I think... maybe... give me a minute." She spent a moment clearing her head, then focused on her bond with her Bishounen. There it was, she'd been right. Someone was outside of their Ball.

Zander looked worried. "What?"

Demoonica shook her head. "One of the guys." She stood up. "I need to go find him."

"Demoonica, slow down. What happening?"

She paused. "Bishi- it's... it's Sasuke. He's not here, he's outside." Her brow scrunched up as if in pain. "He's hurt, a... fight." She dropped her BishiGear onto the bed (it was still repeating the message) and grabbed two BishiBalls from the stand. "Please, watch Damia."

Zander sighed. "Alright, but be careful. Who knows what's out in the woods."

Demoonica was out the door before he had finished speaking. Down the stairs, grab the coat, grab a flashlight, slip into her shoes at the door and out into the dark cool night. She shivered when the air hit her. The porch light was on, it stayed on all night regardless of being needed or not due to being set on a timer. Still Demoonica flicked on the flashlight right away and headed in the direction that her bond was pulling her.

She heard the commotion before she was within sight of it.

"Gah! What is wrong with these Balls? He's out cold, this should be working!" It was a female voice.

"Trainer. A light is comming."

This was answered with a loud growl. "Why is this so hard?!"

Demoonica pushed past the foliage to find her Sasuke on the ground completely knocked out. There were several loose BishiBalls laying around. A frazled trainer stood over him and a Bishounen Demoonica didn't recognize hovered near. Again the trainer pulled a BishiBall from her belt and with a enraged growl slammed it down at Sasuke only to have it hit him and bounce off.

"Stop that!" Demoonica said forcefully.

"No catch stealing." The girl snapped back.

"How about, no stealing an already caught Bishounen?" Demoonica held up Sasuke's BishiBall. "Return." She said, mostly for show because it was simple will that actually engaged the device. The red energy beam shot out of the BishiBall and surounded Sasuke, then in a flash both disappeared.

"What? No!" The trainer girl shouted. "That's not fair! I had him out cold." She pointed at Demoonica. "You, give him-"

"I think not." Demoonica said breaking the growing tirade from the other. "I told you, Sasuke is already my Bishounen." She crossed her arms, frowning at the girl. "Go back... why are you here anyway?"

The girl scoffed. "I just got out of Epoh City. Of course in this area the best place to find anything trying to hide would be in the spot of woods."

"I'm putting up privet property signs in the morning." Demoonica grumbled to herself. "And telling Sasuke that these late night scouting sessions are stopping." After a moment she returned her attention to the other trainer. "You have a camp set up?"

"Yes." The girl replied.

"Then go back there, go to sleep and leave in the morning."

"I don't have to! You are just another trainer, you can't tell people what to do."

Demoonica wanted to argue, but she didn't even have her BishiGear (and as such her ID) with her. Still her ownership of Sasuke was at least no longer in question. She called Sasuke back out, he was still knocked out. She pulled the second BishiBall from her coat pocket and called out it's occupent. Raine wavered where she stood as the BishiBall automatically snapped her awake as she was called out.

"Demoonica?" She questioned.

Demoonica nodded down at Sasuke. "Heal him up, would you Raine? I have a newbie to deal with."

"Of course." She looked down at Sasuke. Raine's eyes widened at the state the Sama Staged Bishounen was in and she immediatly started to cast healing spells on him. Demoonca was sure she heard a few mummbled curses between the magical incantations.

"You two." Demoonica cast a glance back to Raine and Sasuke, then turned her full attention to the trainer and her Bishounen. "I have half a mind to report you to the Safety Department for attempting to steal another trainers' Bishounen. However... you are just a new trainer." She closed her eyes and shook her head at the glareing teen. "You need to read through the information section in your... BishiDex." Ick, the Epoh City branch is still giving those out? I guess it's true they are cheaper. She thought the last part to herself. "The BishiBall connects trainer and Bishi together through blood. This blood bond is unbreakable unless the BishiBall supporting the connection is rendered useless. BishiBalls auto-protect themselves from anyone other than the trainer they are made for trying to open them, they can get nasty if you keep trying. Attempting to capture a Bishi who is already owned by another trainer will fail due to the unused BishiBalls' ability to read the changes caused by the blood bond. The Ball will not operate at all, not even opening or emitting the capture energy." It was loosely the textbook description, drilled into her mind by Wufei while at the Safety Department HQ.

"Okay! I get it, miss know-it-all." The other grumbled.

"And you are on privetly owned property." Demoonica added with a smirk.

"I WHAT?!" The other fummed.

"Sorry to break up you lovely banter, Demoonica, but Sasuke's comming around."

Demoonica turned to see Raine helping Sasuke up into a sitting posistion. "Sasuke, you alright?" Demoonica asked.

He was holding his head, but nodded. "I... let my guard down."

"You shouldn't be out patroling."

"I have to do something!" He snapped back. "I can't stand being cooped up day in and day out."

Demoonica didn't respond. Instead she again returned her attention to the trainer. "Would you... please... just go back to your camp tonight?"

The girl huffed. "Why should I?"

"Why?" Demoonica asked dumbfounded. "I just told you, there are no Bishounen in these woods to catch, woods that are my property. Of course you should... for Pete's sake..." Demoonica glared at the other girl. "I'm too tired for this." She motioned to the girls' BishiDex, then remembered that, that version didn't have an electronic map built in. "Check your map if you have one. It'll show 'Darkmoon Woods' as privet property. That blinking dot in it... that's you." Demoonica spun around and walked back over to Raine and Sasuke, where she offered Sasuke a hand up and helped him to his feet. The softly spoken words, filled with worry, echoed across the area. "...'Ke... please, no more night wanderings without telling me."

He didn't respond, not that the other trainer could hear anyway. Demoonica, flashlight leading the way took them back towards the house. The other trainer stood there, watching them go. She was confused. This... Demoonica character, she was obnoxtious and haunty... but that soft worry didn't seem to fit with that view. She'd been yelled at.. and childed, all in the span of the same short conversation, by a girl who looked to be younger than she was. She glanced at her silent Bishounen, who'd made no move or comment during it all. She wondered if he knew something she did not. But he'd not spoken to her much, beyond agreeing to be her partner earlier that day.

Whatever.

She snorted. "What a Brat."

Her Bishounen looked at her for a moment, remaining silent.

"C'mon, let's go back to camp." She said and stomped through the woods. "You know, this isn't nearly as fun as they made it out to be. I hate camping."

He followed her. This was going to be a bigger job than he'd thought earlier that day. His trainer just seemed to have the opinion that the world was out to skrewball her over... That was the modern term for it, wasn't it? He frowned. In any case, he'd taken it onto himself to help this young woman be happy. And he would.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Demoonica, Raine, and Sasuke made it back to the house without any problems poping out of the woodwork. They could see that the living-room light was on, so was Demoonica and Zanders' bedroom light. Raine cast another healing spell as they exited the wood, she'd cast so many that she had to wait for a bit of Mana to reginerate. The spell settled over Sasuke and he shuddered.

"That feels wierd."

"You're not use to magical healing."

"Chakra feels different."

"I assume it would. While Mana and Chakra can be used in about the same way... it is the little differances that..." Rain gestered with her hand.

Demoonica stepped up onto the porch. Sasuke and Raine paused at the bottom of the steps and looked up at her. "Sasuke, I'm sorry. I didn't even notice you were going stir-crazy here at the house."

Sasuke studdied her, then looked away into the darkness. "I should have said something."

"Everyone should have said something." Raine interupted. "It's neither partys' fault. Several people aren't... shall we say... good at being holed up at the house." She stepped up onto the porch to stand next to Demoonica. "You'll come up with something." She assured her trainer.

Demoonica nodded slowly.

Sasuke stepped up onto the porch. "It's... ingrained in me to keep watch at least once every week. We've needed it, also." He glanced into the house through the window in the front door. He couldn't see anyone, but he'd felt someone moving about with-in. "Everyone was on edge. Some still are."

Demoonica sighed and opened the door. With it open, Sasuke could see Zander standing at the portel into the living room, waiting. The half-Bishounen made to take a step forward, then stopped himself. "Is everyone alright?" Zander asked as he took in the still ruffled Sasuke and the magically drained Raine.

"Yeah... just..."

"A very stubron newbie trainer fresh from Epoh City got one over on Sasuke." Raine supplied, knowing Demoonica would likely not describe the other trainer as... nicely.

"Oh." Seemed about the only thing Zander could think to say at that.

Demoonica gave him a half-hearted smile, then toed her shoes off and headed up the stairs. It seemed too much to ask for more than a week to go by peacefully. She made it to the bedroom and curled up on the bed, takeing her BishiGear in hand. The clock on her BishiGear read just after 5AM, but at least it wasn't alarming anymore.

Zander stepped into the room. "Did everything actually go okay?"

Demoonica sat back up. "Yeah. I guess so." She paused. "Just I need to rethink the... quiet life." This time her smile was more real, a lopsided half-grin. She looked back at her BishiGear. "I'll never get back to sleep and actually sleep before the alarm... Did it wake up Damia?"

Zander shook his head. "No, she slept right through it. When the alarm stopped, I headed to the livingroom to wait."

"Thanks, you didn't have to."

Zander shrugged. "I guess we are up for the day?"

"I guess." Demoonica echoed. "Where are Sasuke and Raine?" She pulled out the BishiBalls from her coat pocket, she hadn't seen either return. She sat them both on the bedside stand.

"Still downstairs."

Demoonica nodded. "Okay... I have to call the Safety Department, before they send out someone." She dialed the BishiWorld Safety Department. "See you downstairs in five minutes?"

Zander smiled. "Sounds good."
