Here's a little intermission. I need to relax for a moment, I apologize. It's bit hard to update two fanfics, but I don't mind. It's fun. Hope you enjoy this short intermission. I'm sorry for the vague description of the Seventh Holy Scripture.

…

Intermission: Helping Hands

…

"Here." Ciel showed Rei the Seventh Holy Scripture, an automated gun-looking blade that goes back and forth. "Take a good long look at it. I won't aid you any longer."

"That's fine by me." Rei said as the Holy Scripture burst into many paper scriptures.

"What was that all about?" Sion loaded her gun.

"What are you loading that thing for? Rei said as the bullet locked into place.

"In case of emergency."

"I'll leave it to you to sort this mess." Ciel jumped out of the window.

"Rei." Arcueid was sporting an irritated look after being visited by such peculiar guests. "Would you mind explaining a few things to me?"

"Ummm…" Rei tried not to choke on his words. "Well, I can copy or mimic the powers and abilities of other but the maximum strength those copies can reach are only twenty-five percent of the original." Rei copied Sion's gun and pointed it at her. "What're you doing here, Atlasia?"

Sion put away her gun. "Just visiting. I wondered how Shiki's son was doing. I didn't realize you are also close to his ummm…'friends'".

"Hmp!" Rei's replica gun vanished.

Arcueid turned to Len who was finishing Rei's ice cream." What brings you here Len?"

"I go here many times." Len looked like a child eating some ice cream. "I'm also looking for a few familiar."

Arcueid was further irritated at Len's remark. "Don't you dare—"

"Relax. I won't form a contract with your new boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" – Sion

"Boyfriend?" – Rei

"You'll kill me if I did."

"These people are irritating, aren't they, Rei?" Sion helped herself to some dessert.

"What are you talking about?" Arcueid put her hand on her waist. "You're the one that just barged in with a gun."

"Wait a minute." Rei interrupted. "Len, right? What are you anyways?"

"She's a succubus." Arcueid answered his question.

"A what?" Rei sat down on a chair. And I let that 'cat' sleep in my bed many times.

"Don't worry, Rei. I couldn't do anything to you. Arcueid will definitely kill me if I did."

"And what exactly were you planning to do?" Arcueid folded her arms.

"You know…" Len shot Arcueid a mischievous lustful look. "…recover some magic—ow!"

Arcueid pulled on Len's pointed ears.

"Ow!" Len pulled free. "I was just kidding…well, I wasn't but I just liked it here because it had a very strong magic protection."

"Really?" Sion intervened. "Why didn't I feel it?"

"Because Len left the door open!" Arcueid scolded Len.

Rei just watch the three girls arguing and bickering with each other. It was more of a childish fight. I wonder if Dad had to put up with this.

…

"Bye!" Len and Sion tried to walk out the door.

"Hold on you two!" Arcueid pulled on Len's ear and on Sion's braid. "You still have to clean up this mess you made."

Due to Rei's presence, the two couldn't use much of their powers. So to avoid Arcueid's rage, they had no choice.

…

Later that night.

"Eh? Who said you can stay overnight?" Arcueid was losing her temper at HER unwanted guests.

"You're the one that made us clean up."

"Besides, I can't go out. It's too dark out." Len childishly reasoned.

"You two are well capable of protecting yourselves!"

"Not when there's a werewolf on the loose." Rei interrupted. "The full moon would have also been a beautiful sight.

Sion stuck out her tongue at Arcueid.

"I'll let you stay here for safety on one condition." Arcueid decided that if they have to stay here, it'll be on her terms. "You two are going to help us kill that werewolf."

"Sure." Sion agreed.

Len just nodded.

"In the meantime, I want my own bed." Sion quipped.

"What? You're just going to stay for a night."

"You said 'for safety' so it's going to be a little longer before we kill that werewolf."

Don't they ever get tired of arguing? Rei noticed Len walking up to him as he sat there on the bed. "Len, Doshite?—"

Len embraced Rei and put her head on his lap.

"Len?"

Len looked at Rei's eyes. Suddenly, Rei had a strange feeling as if in a trance. It's as if he was being drawn closer to those eyes. Before Rei and Len 'made contact', Arcueid pulled Len's collar and dragged her away. Rei snapped out of the trance.

"Thanks, Arcueid."

Len pouted her lips and folded her arms.

In the end, Sion and Len would sleep on either the couch or the floor.

"I'm sleeping where?"

"With me." Arcueid looked at him impatiently. "I can't leave you alone with those two. You don't want to be seduced by Len, do you?"

"Alright." I smiles hoping to help her get comfortable.

""Good night." Arcueid smiled as if nothing happened and went to sleep.

…

…

…

I think it's already past midnight. I've had my eyes closed but I can't sleep. He opened his eyes and saw that he was face to face with Sion. She looked different because she wasn't wearing her hair in a braid. He tried to back away but he felt a little heavier than usual. He lifted the blankets and saw Len sleeping with her head on his stomach. It can't get any worse than this.

Fortunately, it got a little better.

Arcueid put her arms around him like a pillow.

"She must like pillows a lot." Rei said to himself as he noticed that her embrace was tight.

"No." Arcueid whispered. "I don't."

It would have been a perfect moment if Sion and Len had not woken up.

After a long cat fight, which Len was not in an advantage, Len was forced to sleep on the floor and Sion slept on the couch with a few bruises and scratches. Arcueid held on to Rei's arm as if he was a stuffed toy that the others might get from her if she let go of it.

Later on, she let go. "I think they're asleep now. Good night."

"Arcueid." Rei put his arms around Arcueid this time as if she were a pillow, much to Arcueid surprise. "Good night."

Your son's just like you Shiki. – Sion

Night, Rei. You're going to be mine someday. – Len

Rei, you really are your father's son. – Arcueid

Dad, what have you gotten me into? – Rei

…

…

Well, that's all for now, I hoped you liked that. Expect some action when they encounter that werewolf. And if ever you had read the spoiler, it will take a while before that scene would come. Thanks for reading. I'm open to how Sion and Len would attempt to steal Rei from Arcueid. I think that would be a good spice.

Thanks again…
