Chapter 6: Man!
Lucifer stood still in the gaudy office, 'No...it couldn't be...could it?' That name was all too familiar to her and her past and it was one she would rather not have to hear.
"...Kazuma..." Lucifer whispered to herself looking down towards her feet.
Yubaba looked at her skeptically wondering what was on her mind but let it slide for now.
"Yes and he'll be arriving in about 2 days so you have time to prepare now stop screwing with my bathouse and do something productive with your time! Now get out you may leave until summoned." Yubaba yelled waving her off in a shooing motion.
Lucifer was still ion her own little world but turned around after a moment and hastily walked out of the room heading back down the hall. Though while she was thinking to herself she bumbed into scaly along the way.
"Hey what's with you!" Haku said though he was actually asking. But he recieved no response as Lucifer walked past him into her room.
"Back so soon?" Sebastian said rather than asked.
"Yeah yeah whatever, we may have a problem." Lucifer dismissed pacing back and forth in shrot quick steps from wall to wall holding her hand to her mouth in a thinking pose.
"What?"
"Well Yubaba has just informed me of a guest that's been bothering the bathouse and she wants Me to handle it."
"So?"
"...that guets name is... Kazuma..."
Sebastian's eyes widened at the sound of the name. "You don't think it's..."
"I don't know...I don't know...but we've got 2 days till he arrives and Yubaba yelled at me to be productive...so how bout some good old fasion training, you up for it.?"
"Sure why not? It's been a while since you and I have had a good fight, where should we go?" Sebastian said rising from his chair.
"They've got a large training field in the back that they use for magic and shit so how 'bout there?"
"Alright let's go" Sebastian walked over to a chest that they had placed in the room and opened it up. It's large leathery lid creaked as it opened as Sebastian reached in and pulled out a long knight like sword (no not a katana I'm changin it up a bit deal with it!).
It's hilt was a bronzy gold, simple shape, it's blade silver, long and thin making it an ideal sword altogether.
Sebastian tossed on a white T and some jeans with black battle boots and placed his sword in it's sheeth which was now along his waste attached by a long black leather belt. "Ready when you are."
Lucifer nodded bending down onto her knees and reaching under the bed pulling out what looked like a folded up black jacket. She stood and in one swift motion she took the "jacket" and swung it around her back sliding in both of her arms at the same time, it was now ableto be seen that the jacket was not a jacket but a black cloak with a stand up collar that rose just above her chin, it reached down to about her ankle and had a deep red lining aling it's edges, A fire desine aling the bottom and ends of the sleeves with a red pentagram design on the back (Sebastians contract pentagram symbol from Black Butler) It had one button at the top just under the collar but she never buttoned it, she preffered to leave it open it made her feel more "free" in a way, easier to move about in and such.
She slid on her heavy black battle boots that were similar to Sebastians (men's boots not like those thin girly lookin ones) and headed toward the door. "Oh almost forgot!" She reached into the inside pocket of the cloak pulling out a necklace that had a blood red diamond handing on a black leather string. (I don't mean in the shape of like a ring diamond I mean in the literal shape you learn in school with the 4 sides diamond shape.) She placed it around her neck and it hung around mid chest (again not her BOOBS her chest above them you'd be surprised how often people bug me about that and I'm like NO not BOOBS the actual chest area...jeez)
"Alright let's go." Lucifer said heading out the door and to the right down the hall quickly followed by Sebastian who as he walked had thrown on a black jacket with a lacey golden design with a short collar which he also laft open.
"Ha you've still got that!?" Lucifer joked as she took another right.
"Yeah...just cause it marks me as your partner doesn't mean I don't like to wear it." Sebastian retorted gesturing towards the design that was along the back, a smaller pentagram in the golden lace was about mid back and had a line of fancy design running through the center.
"And I recieved it the day I had volunteered to serve you might I add."
"So what it's sentimantal or somthing?"
"In a way I suppose." Sebastian sighed out as they reached a balcony that overlooked the back of the backhouse.
Lucifer swiftly using her right hand lept over the edge and landed perfectly on the ground that lay several stories below.
Sebastian let out a sigh as he too jumped off the edge onto he ground, not as elegantly as Lucifer but impressivley.
"Wow still better at you at that huh!?" Lucifer chuckled at the slightly awkward landing by her servant.
"Yeah well let's get started shall we?" Sebastian walked by her a about a hundred feet then stopped as Lucifer as well put some distance between her and the bathouse. Not cause she cared about damaging it she just wanted a bit more room for manuver.
A few of the workers and guests whom had noticed them jump down or were already outside near the area had takin notice to the strange things they were doing and curiosity was piqued as many of them had kept their distance but watched as the two demons took their positions.
"Are they gonna battle?"
"What's going on?"
"Are they fighting?"
"I don't know let's watch!"
Many began to gather by the windows and sides of the bathouse as the two stood.
It fell silent, the breeze blew among the two's feet picking up Lucifer's cloak slightly.
As Sebastian took his pose and raised his sword Lucifer lifted up the left side of her cloak and out of seemingly no where pulled out a long and heavy sword. It had an intricate hilt with many long engravings, it's two ends were shrp and horn like pointing upwards, at the base of the blade itself was a red diamond matching the one she wore around her neck, it sat in the center of a red pentagram. The blade itself shocked everyone around them...it was black! The blade itself was black.
"Is the what I think it is!?"
"It couldn't be!"
"It's the sacred Demon Sword!"
"But how did SHE of all people ubtain it!? Is it not of nobility?"
"Don't worry I'll be sure to be careful Sebastian, after all I wouldn't want to accidentally kill my one and only loyal servant." She said with a provoking grin that indicated the Sebastain was the lower demon here.
"Oh feel free not to hold back! Remember training isn't training if it's not a challenge, please feel free to try and kill me." Sebastian countered ready for the fight to begin.
Lucifer slid her right foot back holding the sword in her right hand with her left arm in front bent at the elbow never losing eye contact with her opponent as silence filled the air once again.
Her eyes slowly filled with a glowing red as Sebastian's did the same showing that the two had ina way "powered up" for the fight.
"GO!" Lucifer sprinted in Sebastian's direction as he followed suit sprinted towards her. They both lifted their blades with one hand and swung them down, the two blades clashing. Sparks flew with the intense contact, the immense spead and agility the two performed as the swung and parried repeatedly. Though it was rare to see two such skilled fighters using only one hand to wield their blade. It was a brilliant performance of their muscular strength.
The crowd grew larger and larger watching the two demons battle it out. By this time nearly the entire bathouse including it's guests had gathered to watch the battle, forming crowds in the windows and outside around them, all sure to keep their distance though.
The blades continued to clash though niether of them seemed to be getting any weaker than the other.
The two clashed once more this time their blades hooked onto eachother's held in place in an X form.
"Heh you're not half bad Sebby." Lucifer said with a smirk showing her fang and a few teeth in the corner of her mouth.
"You're not too bad yourself." Sebastian said with a grin.
Both pushed back at the same time leaping backwards and skidding to a stop.
They panted as sweat dripped down their faces. Their swords were at waste level and their legs spred with feet firmly planted.
Lucifer threw off her cloak and pulled off her shirt by it's collar from the back over her head tossing them both to the side. (remember she's always wearing bandages that act kind of like a bra so no she isn't entirley shirtless.
As she would breath in and out her abs would flex, her entire body was visibly muscular from head to toe. Her byceps had obvious reases from the muscle, her back had the same, frankly she looked pretty manly with the amount of muscle she had but with her short guy cut and the face she had she could be a guy! A very pretty guy minus the boobs but it was still enough to make several of the girls in the bathouse blush.
"Oh so it's gonna be that way huh?!" Sebastian took of his jacket and sit as well showing off his muscular body as well. The two were physically nearly identical.
The two's panting had slowed down as they caught their breath.
"YEP!" Lucifer responded sticking the sword into a large rock that was next to her.
'How convenient' she thought to herself.
Sebastian simply stuck his into the ground, both placed a magic spell on the swords to prevent them from moving if someone dared to try and steal them.
They took their positions and prepared for hand to hand combat. Similar to before they took their pose only withot their swords.
They both waited for their opponent to make the first move.
'She's so reckless.' Sebastian though rolling his eyes. He was pretty sure that she would make the first move and he was soon proved correct.
He stood there only to be knocked off his feet from below and a blood red flame tripped him from out of the ground beneathe him.
He fell flat on his back with a thud and a "ah man!"
Lucifer almost keeled over holding her stomache laughing so hard she almost couldn't breath.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAAH O MY GOD!" she continued her little fit.
The crowd was shocked, it was the first time they had seen her smile ot laugh and it was rather enjoyable to see. Many of the men and woman were entranced by the attractive demons, especially Lucifer, the fact that she was a killer, demon, and he most horrible being in the whole universe and they HATED HER, had completley left their minds as they watched the two.
Sebastian stood back up with a grunt while Lucifer was still giggling after her fit. (not like a girly giggle like small laughs)
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" Sebastian hurled a large ball of red flame (not blood red normal red. Lucifer's flame color is hers and hers alone noone else has that color and I'll explain why later) directy towards her head. She quickly looked up with a "Huh?" quickly followed by a quick "AH!" as she ducked with her hands on her head avoiding the flame that was inched from her face.
It crashed into the wall of the bathouse behind her. She quickly looked behind her to see a huge gaping hole burnt in the wall.
Her mouth was open in a "JEEZUS!" way like "Wholey crap what are you trying to do KILL ME?!"
She turned back to Sebastian who was just standing there playfully irritated by her prank.
"...DUDE!" Lucifer yelled. "OK I am NOT payin for that." Lucifer said placing the blame on Sebby.
"Alright IT'S ON!" Lucifer said as she took her stance.
"You bet it is!" Sebastian waled another flame towards her which she quickly countered with one of her own.
Though Sebastian quickly followed with several smaller oned like a machine gun, punchin out one after another.
Lucifer lept all over, cart wheeling in the air, backflipping and leaping side to side dodging each and every one of them.
After leaping around for a minute or so, Lucifer sprinted towards him at a speed that made her seem almost invisible, she appeared as streaks of color running towards Sebastian with her right fist ready to attack.
Sebastian was unprepared for the sudden counter but at the last secon as she threw her fist forward towards her face he managed to grab it with his left hand. He was pushed back a bit by the force of the attack but managed to save himself from what would've been an instant KO.
The two struggled, one trying to over power the other, first Lucifer's fist would get closer to Sebastian but he would soon push it back, it was a stalemate situation.
"Alright let's try this." Lucifer swung her left leg kicking it towards his side.
"Woah!" Sebastian quickly performed a back hand spring to dodge and retorted with quick punch but once again Lucifer dodged moving her head to the side at the last second. A series of punches, kicks, and slashes with kunai were performed for several minutes, the movements were so fast that the were unfollowable, at least by normal spirits. But to the two demons the speed at which they fought was normal appearing to their eyes significantley slower than others.
The two finally broke apart leaping backwards to their original positions by their swords.
"What do you say..." Lucifer said pulling her sword from the stone. "...we finish this little match?"
"I would like nothin more..." Sebastian said pulling his blade from the dirt.
Lucifer's blade suddenly was engulfed by a translucent black flame as Sebastian's was as well by a simple a translucent red.
"I'll show you the power this sword truly has when in the hands of the right demon!"
"Heh Let's See You Try!" Sebastian slid his foot back as Lucifer did the same.
Everyone began to back up, the collision of the two blades would blow them all to pieces of the were within 100 feet.
"LET'S GO!"
Lucifer and Sebastian sprinted towards eachother blades in hand. Once within 50 feet of eachother they leapt into the air swinging the swords back. 30 feet...20 feet...10 feet...0 feet.
The two swung their blades down each colliding with the other, sparks flew and soon the two were engulfed by an immense explosion. The two flames entertwined leaving the two within a large sphere of raw energy . Noone from outside the explosion could see the demons, many murmers could be heard throught,
"Whoah!"
"Such Power even exists!?"
"Who won?"
"I don't know I can't see!"
The dirt and dust that had been picked up by the wind from the explosion slowly cleared. Two shadows were visible, one on the ground the other standing above it. As the last of the dust cloud cleared...the victor was visible.
"I...win..." Lucifer panted out as she stood above Sebastian with the tip of her sword brushing his neck, squinting one eye shut. Sebastian lay on the ground panting as well his arms outstretched and dead tired. "Yeah...I suppose...you've won...thin one at least..." Sebastian panted with a chuckle.
Sweat covered their bodies, a drip fell down Lucifer's face until dripping off the tip of her chin. Her breaths were long and hard, she lowered her sword and fell to the ground belly first beside him. Rolling over onto her back she felt the dirt and sand sticking to her back, it was then that she noticed the immense crowd that had gathered, tilting her head to her right to look at the bridge full of workers and guests.
"What Happened To Despising Me!? I'll KILL EVERYONE OF YOU!" She tiredley hollered at ev everyone.
Her head fell back down to the ground, she and Sebastian both were covered from head to toe in scratches, cuts and bruises.
Her eyes both squinted shut, both because of the Sun's afternoon rays and exhaustion, Her panting didn't seem to slow at all as she and Sebastian layed on the ground. Some of the worker's had gone wide eyed remembering that Lucifer was still The Devil anf would follow through with her threat...most likley...but noone was willing to take the chance but then again noone left.
Lucifer felt someone's shadow over her and opened one eye to take a look. To her surprise she saw a pair of Emerald eyes looking down at her, but they weren't filled with anger or fear for once...mostly they were just filled with that "uhhuh...sure you are..." look.
"Well you won't be killing anyone in that condition." Haku said with a slight grin.
"Oh is that a smile...couldn't be...not from scaly...right Sebastian?."
"Whatever." Sebastian didn't even bother to open his eyes.
"Yeah Yeah ust get up will you." Haku held out a hand.
Lucifer...was shocked by the act of kindness..."Are you dumb or something?Noone's been stupid enough to help me since I was a kid." She said as she stood up pushing of her knee. "Still a demon whether you choose to forget it or not...I'll kill you in the blink of an eye." Her eyes flashed red looking him dead in the eyes as well as the crowd.
"HEY YOU!" she pointed towards a random Frog worker in the crowd. "Come here." the frog without thinking hopped in her direction, 'so I was right...none of them seem to remember who I am...I think they all need a demonstration' she thought as the tiny frog appeared before her feet only a foot and a half or so tall.
"Yes?" he asked with a smile. Lucifer looked back at he crowd who were all still either blushing from her good looks or smiling their brains out also from he good looks. 'Damnit...thanks dad it's all thanks to you I look like this.' and she hated it...she may have been superior in looks to like to every female AND male but she hated looking just like her father...
She bent down to speak to the frog, "Hey you mind if I try something?" Lucifer asked but either way she would do what she wanted.
"What?" the frog was still obviously hadn't triggered that she was LUCIFER!
She reached out her right hand and in an instant crished the frog in her hand. He made a choking like noise before his body was crushed down to almost nothing.
The blood ran down the back of her hand as she stood back up looking at the crowd with those deep bloody eyes.
They all stood silent...and shocked...their brains recomprehending who stood before them.
"That;s much better...NOW no matter how good looking, or how friendly I may have seemed with Sebastian you all can forget about it...because no matter what I am STILL A DEMON...I am STILL THE DEVIL! Whether you all like it or not..."
Sebastian had gotten up and stood beside her now. It was silent for a few moments before Lucifer had ordered them all to go inside before she ripped their heads off and fed them to the pigs.
Haku glared at her for having killed another worker, she looked at his eyes for a moment glaring right back before stating innocently..."What?" but in a threatening voice.
"...nothing..." Haku walked off and into the bathouse leaving the two alone once more.
"Huuuuh you know you don't have to kill someone everytime you get angry." Sebastian said with a sigh.
"Oh no but I did...this was less about my own anger than reminding them of my reputation and status." Lucifer walked off heading towards the front enterance of the bathouse picking up her cloak and sliding her sword back into it as if it were a sheath though it dissappeared once it slid al the way in.
" Well for now at least we can relax." Lucifer said changing the subject as she reached the enterance.
"...Yes...I suppose..." Sebastian said as he followed his master...whom nobody would ever understand.
A/N Boom another chapter fresh out of the oven! There's gonna be an epic battle that's all I'll tell you for now...and let's just say Lucifer's gonna have to stay a bit longer than she planned and the bathouse may not mind it! Anyway please R and R!
