Music Makers

Four Months Earlier:

The lights dimmed as the melody began to play. A tall, lanky, extremely handsome young man appeared in the spotlight. His eyes were closed as he listened to the music he'd created. Slowly he opened his blue eyes and saw not an audience of thousands but one woman who looked back at him with love. Ookochi Sakuya sang the song Aine had written for him, Until You.

Aine couldn't help but cry. It didn't matter that they were the words she written for him since he was singing them back to her and feeling everything she had when she'd written them. She held her hands over her heart and listened with a smile. At the end of the song he silently said I love you and she mouthed the words in return.

Bright lights came up suddenly and the mood changed. Santa began a righteous drumbeat and Lucifer began their second song of the encore. Aine got up and made her way backstage. It's not that she wouldn't have preferred to stay until the end but she also she had other obligations besides being Sakuya's biggest fan. It would be nice to just be a fan but to be closer to the man she loved Aine also worked behind the scenes. Just because Lucifer made great music didn't mean it didn't require lots of work to make them one of the biggest bands around.

Security was well aware of who she was so Aine had no problems getting backstage and she was sure they were watching over her closely as Sakuya continually worried about her safety. He had good reason to worry since fans weren't always the nicest of people. She nodded to the men, grateful for their protection. Neither of them wanted another incident. That last one had been way too close.

First Aine checked to be sure the booths were set up and ready to sell the CDs, DVDs, posters, shirts and other Lucifer memorabilia as the fans left the concert. Next she made sure security was ready to handle the small group of fans lucky enough to meet the band members after the concert. Lucifer would spend thirty minutes to an hour of quality time with about twenty people signing autographs and taking pictures. She also made sure refreshments were set up for that. Photos that would go out to the magazines and the official website had been taken before and during the show. Two tabloid photographers would be allowed to document the fan service session then the guys would be done for the night.

As Aine hurried to the dressing room, she heard Lucifer begin their final song. She burst into the group's large dressing room. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Miya and Yuuka were inside hustling around. On the conference table was bottled water and snacks plus some towels. At each makeup table were the tools needed to glamorized the guys and the cold cream sat ready to remove the heavy stage make-up for when the flashbulbs stopped popping. There were robes in the shower area and street clothes in the inner room for the guys to wear home.

"Nope, I think we're set." Yuuka smiled at Aine. "What about you? You need some help?" It pleased her to be able to help when she could.

"No, everything seems okay. They'll call me if they need anything." Aine showed them the phone she used when working the concerts. "Did you watch the show?"

"Oh yes," Miya answered first. "But from backstage. I have to be close by to touch up their makeup between sets. You're lucky Aine to be able to see the show from the floor." Miya sighed. She was still getting used to being around them so informally. Even though she'd been with the band almost from the beginning, it was only now that they treated her like family, since Towa finally revealed that he loved her since high school.

"No, I missed most of it. I was late getting off work and traffic was horrible. I watched a little backstage then came on back here to help. Where's Maria?" Yuuka asked before taking a finger sandwich for herself.

"Little Yukihiko had a fever so Maria didn't want to leave him. She asked me to take care of Yuki in her place. Don't the two of them make the perfect couple? The perfect family?" Aine sighed dreaming of the day she and Sakuya would marry and start a family.

"Yeah, they make me a little jealous too." Yuuka grinned at her. "But it's much too soon for Atsuro and me to be thinking about a family. We still have to convince our parents we're in love. It's just so awkward sometimes." She sighed because legally they were brother and sister but they weren't related by blood. So far only their friends were accepting of their relationship.

Miya went to her and hugged her. "At least you're not terribly shy like me. Towa's so absolutely beautiful that he out shines me. Not that I mind! It's just he's made for the spotlight and I prefer backstage where I can work my magic. I'd be mortified to stand at his side and have people judge him for loving a mouse like me." She shrugged her shoulders as if trying to hide from Towa's fans. It didn't help knowing how Sakuya's fans had treated Aine in the past. Miya knew she couldn't be as strong as Aine and stand up to them like she had.

"Oh stop it! You're beautiful Miya – inside and out. You can't let the fans control your relationship like that. Towa loves you!" Aine chastised her then smiled. "Actually it explains a lot doesn't it Yuuka? That secretive smile of his and his peace – oh yeah, that boy loves you big time!" She and Yuuka laughed and nodded which only embarrassed Miya, bringing on more laughter.

Just then there was screaming and yelling as the music went to a high crescendo before ending abruptly, the encore was over. Sakuya's voice thanked the crowd and there was more yelling and cheering for Lucifer. Fans called out the names of their favorite band members trying to get them to look their way. They yelled and screamed in vain because the guys were through for the night. They knew when to quit and not let the audience drain them dry. An instrumental track of Lucifer's music started up telling the crowd that the show was definitely over. Noises of people running around outside the dressing room signaled to the girls that the guys would be arriving shortly. They jumped up and double checked everything then waited for the men in their lives.

The door burst open with Sakuya in the lead, he was laughing. His hair was damp with sweat and it rolled down his face and onto his bare chest. It looked like he had a fever his color was so high but he didn't, Sakuya was high on adrenaline. Yuki, Atsuro and Santa had the same look. They were all talking at the same time, laughing and walking on cloud nine.

"Wow that crowd was hot!" Santa yelled drumsticks in the air as he tapped out a silent beat. "Hey girls! Did you see us? We were smoking tonight!" He took Yuuka's hand and spun her around, kissed Miya's blushing cheek then scooped Aine off her feet and danced around the room with her in his arms.

Towa laughed and picked a towel up and wiped down his face and chest. "Santa's still on fire! But damn it was a great show." He poured water down his parched throat soothing it. His long blond hair flew back, a shiny wave catching everyone's eye.

"Ah, put me down! You're making me dizzy!" Aine laughed as she held on tight. She was used to their high spirits after a show but even so it was rare that she got whirled around like this. "Santa!" He was the oldest of the group but he could also be the biggest kid.

"Put her down drummer boy and go find your own woman!" Sakuya laughed, pulled out a chair and dropped into it. Legs spread wide he leaned back and heaved a happy sigh. "If I wasn't so damned tired, I'd say let's go do it again!" His dark hair shook spraying sweat this way and that.

"I hear that!" Yuki dropped a towel over Sakuya's face then wiped his own. "Anyone know how my son is?" He grabbed some water and emptied the bottle before looking at the girls.

"Whoa!" Aine said as Santa dropped her in Sakuya's lap. "Fever broke an hour ago Yuki. He's fine." Aine started to get up when two long arms crisscrossed her body and Sakuya sucked on her vulnerable earlobe. She melted inside. "…Sakuya…not now…." Aine shivered and closed her eyes. The merest touch from him and she was putty in his hands.

"That's Sakuya, he doesn't care who's in the room but just seduces Aine anyway!" Atsuro laughed then plastered Yuuka up against the wall. He leered down at her. "I wonder if it'll work for me!" As his girl playfully tried to push him away, Atsuro just caught her hands against his chest and took her mouth.

"That leaves you Towa. My wife is unfortunately absent so no kisses for me." Yuki just shook his head, laughed and moved to the food to help satisfy his other needs. "There's plenty of food Santa, join me." He watched the brown-haired man sigh wistfully as Towa, his former bachelor partner pulled Miya to him for a kiss. Yuki chuckled. Santa was the only one still searching for love.

Moments later the door was flung open and a man who could compete with Towa in feminine good looks waltz in. Their producer, Mr. Takayama, Hitoshi entered all smiles. "Marvelous! Just marvelous! Everyone with the record company was completely impressed! Some even got up and danced! They were really pleased and more than willing to spend extra money on Lucifer!" He laughed ignoring the kissing couples. If they weren't highly sexed after a concert, he'd think something was wrong.

"Come on, break it up! You guys can smooch at home! The work day isn't over yet!" Mr. Sasaki, their manager said clapping his hands loudly. He wasn't nearly so easy going as Takayama. "There is a room full of fans waiting to meet Lucifer and Miss Yukimura you're supposed to be overseeing the selling of merchandise. If we want their reputation and our revenue to grow we need to sell as much stuff as possible. It's that what will put the band out there for the world to see. Move it!" Sasaki yelled.

Santa and Yuki just kept eating. A few hours on stage really worked up an appetite. Atsuro backed off quickly from Yuuka, both looking embarrassed. Towa merely raised his head for a moment them pulled the blushing Miya close for another kiss. Sakuya held tight to Aine refusing to stop his ravishment of her neck.

Mr. Takayama was in such a good mood, he didn't mind their antics. "We'll have a meeting day after tomorrow to go over my new ideas. Take tomorrow and rest and Aine, you'll need to be there as well so I'll try to schedule it for the afternoon. It will be so much easier once you graduate from high school." In truth, the girl was sometimes a hindrance but he could clearly understand why Sakuya wanted her close – for the same reasons he wanted her close. Hitoshi watched with a bit of envy as Sakuya put that special smile on her face. Those two were so in love that not including Aine in almost every aspect would be a huge mistake especially since she'd written several hit songs for them and he was counting on many more.

"Will you please get up and go meet the fans?!" Hands slapped hard on the table. "You have to spend at least an hour with them and that means security will be there too - on overtime! That's money out of all of our pockets! If you get this done then you can go home and do your women!" Sasaki yelled in an exasperated tone as he crossed his arms over his chest.

That broke up the couples. They laughed knowing their loving displays had cause the man's temper to explode. He was such a tight ass most of the time it was too much fun to mess with him every so often and make him blow his stack.

A blushing Miya hurriedly gathered some supplies and started on Towa's face then ran about the room doing what she could to fix the others' makeup. This was her job and she still worried over losing it but she really didn't have a thing to worry about. Miya was not only Towa's girlfriend but damn good at her job.

Chuckling Yuki rose still eating some fruit. "Come on guys, let's get this over with. He's right about one thing; I am ready to go be with my wife." He went around the table and jerked Santa to his feet keeping him from the sandwich he was reaching for.

"Hey I wanted that!" Santa looked wistfully after the food. His stomach felt like there was a hole in it.

Yuki laughed at him. "There's food in the green room too and women. Maybe you'll find your mate tonight!" He teased.

"Or at least someone to bed!" Sakuya said finally standing but not releasing Aine. He towered head and shoulders over her tiny figure. "Go take care of business and don't let them run over you – you're their boss, remember?" Sakuya tilted up her face and said sternly. Sometimes they treated Aine as if she were beneath them when she had more clout not only because she was his but because she truly knew what she was doing. Aine was quickly learning the ins and outs of the music business.

"I know Sakuya, I know. Don't worry so much." Aine turned and stood on tiptoe for another kiss before pushing him away. "Go greet the fans." She loved that he wanted to look after her but things weren't as bad as he thought. She got along very well with the rest of the crew. They just teased her a lot. "Oh Yuki – wait!" Aine rushed up to him.

Yuki stopped dragging Santa away from the food to turn and look down at her. As he thought of Sakuya as a little brother, he now thought of Aine as his sister. She was as much a part of Lucifer as the rest of them. "Yes, what is it?" He blinked when she crooked a finger at him. Yuki was just as tall Sakuya so she had to look way up at him as well. "A secret?" He grinned over at Sakuya with a teasing look in eye, the kid got jealous easily, then placed his ear close to her lips.

Aine took his face between her hands and gave him a smooch on the cheek. She blushed as she did so. "That was from Maria. 'Good job' – that too." She had no idea why it embarrassed her to kiss him but it did.

Yuki looked surprised for all of one second then very pleased. He laughed then turned and kissed Aine on the forehead. "Thank you, thank you very much. That was very sweet." He gave her a one-armed hugged and again looked at Sakuya. "You ever hurt this girl and I'll beat you silly." It warmed his heart that Maria had wanted him to feel her love even though she couldn't be there and that she asked Aine, his sister to do it. "I do believe I've got my second wind. Let's go wow the fans!" Yuki tossed back his long dark hair and left the room with a smile.

Sakuya just winked at her then ran to catch up to Yuki and threw an arm over his shoulder. The two did look like brothers as they led the others to the green room.

Aine scratched her cheek still feeling embarrassed then turned to the others. "My turn I guess. See you later!" She waved then stopped when Yuuka called out to her.

"Can I come? I think I should learn a bit more how this business works too." Yuuka loved their music and seeing them play but the other stuff – she knew next to nothing.

"Sure." Aine said happily and they left Miya to get things ready once again and listen to Sasaki and Takayama talk about how big Lucifer was going to become.

It turned out that Aine and Yuuka had to do much more than the guys. It was almost three hours later before they showed up back at the dressing room. Yuki had already showered and gone home to be with his family, so had Miya and Towa. Santa did indeed hook up with somebody, not a fan but a friend from one of his former bands who'd been hanging around backstage. The two went out to jam. That left Sakuya and Atsuro waiting on them. A lot of the crew had left too and others were packing up equipment and beginning the arduous job of cleaning the huge amphitheater.

"Damn, what took you guys so long? We were ready to go an hour ago!" Atsuro said shutting of the TV they had been watching. "Sakuya's pissed." He looked warily at his band mate who was scowling. Even though Sakuya was one of his best friends, Atsuro tried to stay out of his way when he got angry – people, namely him, could get hurt.

Aine sighed. Sakuya was a fierce lover but he could get deadly angry at times too. "It's work and sometimes there are problems. Not everything is going to go as well as your concert did. Sorry Yuuka for keeping you here so long." She apologized. Yuuka had wanted to learn about the business but Aine was sure must have regretted asking to go with her.

"No it's okay - really, I learned a lot and you told me several times to leave but it seemed like you needed the help." Yuuka squeezed her hand before going to Atsuro and letting him help her with her jacket.

Aine smiled sheepishly. "I did. You calmed them down a lot quicker than I would have. Thanks Yuuka." Anyone could tell Aine was grateful.

"No problem, glad it all got worked out, you really know your stuff Aine." She said a bit awed. Yuuka kissed her cheek as Atsuro pulled her away. "See you guys later!" She didn't like leaving Aine when Sakuya looked so mean but Atsuro wanted out of there. "Be nice Sakuya!" She yelled from down the hall.

"Ready to go?" Aine said hands folded demurely in front of her. She hoped he wouldn't get into now.

"What the hell happened? I called but you just said you were busy and hung up on me! If Atsuro hadn't stopped me…" Sakuya got up slowly from his seat.

So much for that hope! Aine sighed and got herself some water then sat down. She had school tomorrow and it was already two in the morning. "There was a new guy and he was overwhelmed by the crowds. It takes a while to get used to dealing with demanding fans." She spoke from experience. "He was charging the wrong price for the CDs and a few other things then he misplaced some money and we had fans to come back demanding the correct prices. The others tried to help him but he just mixed them up making things worse and in the end security had to come and calm things down since the crowd was getting rowdy. I stopped all sales so I could count the money and find the problem while Yuuka got the crew under control. It would have taken me twice as long without her help." Aine took a long drink of water. "There, are you satisfied? If I had stopped to explain everything to you, I would have had to start all over again. Can we go home now, please?" She was feeling a little drained now and just wanted their bed.

"Fire him." Sakuya stated as he neared her chair. His blue eyes flashed fire.

Aine shook her head. "It was a mistake, a complicated one but just a mistake. We've moved him to the janitorial staff for now. We needed more help there anyway." Aine yawned. "If he messes that up then he's fired." She didn't want to fire a man callously for one mistake.

He stared down at her still with an angry expression. Sakuya wasn't really mad at her but the situation. Since the attempted rape, Aine had changed. She didn't cower so much when he got angry and she knew when to be stern and had taken on much more responsibility for making things run well at their concerts. If anything he was proud of her and more in love. "What's his name? I'll talk to him."

"Sakuya! Give it up. I've handled it and Mr. Sasaki will know about it tomorrow. If he doesn't like what I've done – he'll fire him! It's over, done and nobody but us and the crew know there was even a problem. Nobody at the record company will know or hear about it unless you make a fuss! Dammit! I'm tired and I want to go home Sakuya!" Aine jumped up out of her seat and poked a finger in his stomach.

Sakuya stared down at her then started to laugh. She was just too adorable! "Yes ma'am." When she blushed and tried to turn away he caught her close. "Sorry but I'm always going to worry about you and try to make all of your problems go away."

Aine leaned into him. "I know but I took care of it this time. You have to trust me Sakuya." Aine was about to say more but yawned instead.

"I do, I do trust you. I just don't trust everybody else." Sakuya said quietly then kissed her on top of the head. "Let's go home." He grabbed his black duster and her jacket. In moments they were at the very back of the stadium where someone had brought his car. There would be fans hanging about ready to follow them but owning a Ferrari meant they couldn't keep up with his speed. In under an hour, Sakuya carried his lady into their apartment and put her to bed. "Sleep well Aine." Sakuya said tenderly then shortly joined her worn out from doing what he loved - singing with his band.

Aine missed her first class and the rest of the day just dragged on. The moment she entered the apartment, she collapsed on the sofa and slept. When she next woke it was early evening. "Oh no, I promised Sakuya I'd cook tonight!" She jumped up and ran to the kitchen to find Sakuya standing over a large pizza box.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty. Rough day?" Sakuya went to her, bent low for a kiss then offered her a bite of his pizza.

Quite hungry, Aine took a bite then spoke between chews. "Sorry. Tired. Cook. Tomorrow. Mmm…" She swallowed and let him feed her another bite until the piece was gone.

"Good thing I ordered two. The other one's in the stove. Go wash up then help me fix a salad." Sakuya grinned down at her.

"Okay." She grinned, loving it when he took care of her. Aine grabbed another slice before leaving the room.

"The meeting tomorrow is at three. Don't worry about changing, just come on over in your uniform." Sakuya told her. They'd made a huge salad to go with the pizza. He had a glass of wine while Aine settled for soda. Only on special occasions did she allow herself to drink and then only with him. She'd had enough bad experiences of drinking in mixed company then not remembering what happened.

"You sure? Mr. Takayama may have some bigwigs there. This meeting is about trying to get you guys international. I don't want to give the wrong impression by showing up in my school uniform. I'll look like a baby." Aine knew she looked younger than her years sometimes, especially in her uniform.

Sakuya didn't see a school girl. He saw a woman. Long lovely brown hair, beautiful wide eyes and a body he couldn't get enough of. Nope no little girl could turn him on, only Aine. "We're the same age. I may look older but that's all. If it weren't for our crazy schedule, I'd still be in school ready to graduate with you in a few months. Besides, you're Lucifer's lyrist. Where we go – you go, it's a package deal and if they don't understand that then we'll find somebody else to help us. Okay?" He reached over and rubbed tomato sauce off her lip with his thumb then brought it to his mouth.

Aine watched him suck the sauce off his thumb and felt a lightning bolt of sensation go from her stomach down between her legs. He only had to do the smallest of gestures to affect her. She let her long lashes brush her cheeks as she stabbed her salad viciously.

Sakuya just chuckled. They really were two of a kind. She wanted him and he wanted her. "So I was working on a new song today."

"Yeah? Do you need lyrics?" The house had been silent when she came in so he must have been in the studio.

"Not this time. This song will showcase Santa's drums and probably Towa's base. It will be a hardcore sex song. I haven't done one of those in a while. I might need a few sound effects from you though." He looked at her with evil delight.

"Never Again! I still can't believe you actually used my…my moans on a CD! You recorded us having sex then used it! It's so embarrassing every time I hear that song!" Aine covered her blushing face.

Sakuya laughed his blue eyes light. It had been her punishment for doubting him when their relationship had still been new. Nobody but the two of them knew it was her moans and sighs. He got hard every time he heard it. "We'll talk about it later!"

"Oh no we won't! I'll be avoiding the studio whenever you work on this song!" Aine told him hotly but inside she was laughing too. They ate a little more before she spoke again. "I'll take a change of clothes anyway. I know it may not matter to you but I'd like to look professional. You say I'm part of Lucifer so I should dress well and make a good impression." Aine nodded to herself already mentally combing through her closet for the perfect outfit.

Every time Sakuya looked at her, he noticed more changes. She didn't rely on him as much as she used to. Aine was becoming more independent and while it did wonders for her self-esteem it left him feeling a little useless sometimes. But she still loved him maybe even more than before if that was possible and that was all that mattered. "Okay fine. Want me to come pick you up?"

"Please!" Aine smiled up at him. It would save her a great deal of time if she didn't have to take the train. "You sure you can get away?"

"No problem. Hurry up and finish. We were both too tired to make love last night but now we have all night." Sakuya reached out a long arm and cupped her neck pulling her closer so he could kiss her.

"I've got…homework…" Aine breathed as he took her breath away. Just this closeness was enough to make her nipples tighten and her toes curl.

"No problem. While our dinner digests, we'll open your books and do your homework then the only thing I want open is your legs!" He growled into her mouth.

He was waiting for her when she exited the school gates. Aine ran to get in the car with an excited smile on her face. "Hey!" She leaned over for his kiss.

"Hey. Buckle up, there's a lot of traffic today." Sakuya smiled happily.

"Oh boy." Aine hurriedly fastened the belt. Traffic meant drive fast, actually everything meant drive fast to Sakuya.

Jupiter Records appeared in twenty minutes. They made in plenty of time. Aine left her duffle in the car and walked in on Sakuya's arm with a stylish short jacket on and matching skirt. Since the band had hooked up with Trio, Aine got first pick at many of their newest designs. No one could mistake her for a child today.

Everybody was already in the main conference room. The band had actually practiced that morning downstairs in one of the many studios and had broken up for lunch now they were back ready to find out what Mr. Takayama had up his sleeve for their future.

At three on the dot, he strode into the room trailed by Sasaki and Takako Kai, Lucifer's production director. Beautiful as ever, Mr. Takayama clapped his hands as he sat getting their attention.

"Good everyone is here – Aine, glad you're on time." He nodded to her then threw his hair over his shoulder. "So the plan is, as it always has been, for Lucifer to conquer the world. Well, we're going to start with Europe, England specifically and end up in the capitalist Mecca, the United States . Of course it's going to take some work to get us noticed over there. Some of your music has already crossed the ocean but we're still not recognized very well." He looked over his beautiful boys with an appraising eye.

"So what's the next step? Are we going on tour in England?" Yuki asked. It was something that he desired the rest of them too but when they'd last tried it, Mr. Takayama had gone about it the wrong way. The band had come close to falling apart. Yuki didn't want to come across those issues again if he could help it.

Mr. Takayama read his mind and shook a finger at Yuki. He hated being reminded of his faux pas. "No. At least not yet. There's plenty we can do on this side of the ocean before that. First I hope you're all ready to pick up where you left off a few months ago." Nobody mentioned Aine's near rape just because it was something nobody wanted to remember let alone bring up bad memories for her. "Break's over. Starting next week you'll resume all TV and radio interviews. There'll be a few game shows too and dating games for Santa. Hey you're the only one single." Mr. Takayama shrugged when Santa's mouth dropped open. He knew better than to attempt getting the other guys to do a dating show. There was a list in front of him he was reading off of. "You'll do personal appearances at some of the larger and more popular shopping centers signing CDs and the like."

Takayama got up and began to walk around the room gesturing the whole time. "Last night's concert was magnificent. You looked and sounded great! It was sold out, not to mention the big screen set up outside. But there was one problem." He stopped to look at them. "There wasn't one new song. Oh don't get me wrong for there to be such a sellout crowd and no new songs means we're on top. The thing is we've hit as high as we can go in Japan . You've made it now we need to cater to a broader audience. I want you to listen to British and American music and see how you can do it better. Don't change whatever it is that has made you a success but make the Britons and the Americans like it better than the music they're listening to. Of course it still has to appeal to Japanese audiences too. That means work guys, lots of hard work. For you too Aine. You need to work on your English so that you can write lyrics the Americans will want to sing."

His stern face softened. "Just think about it, by the time Aine graduates diploma in hand, we could be on a plane for England!" He leaned down and rested his smiling face against Aine's for a moment then stood up abruptly and checked his watch. "I'd hoped Tokugawa would make this meeting but it seems his shoot ran long." Takayama shook his head. "Anyway that's what's ahead of us. And there's more, much more."

The group looked at each other kind of shell-shocked. That already sounded like too much. The ease of their days was disappearing before their eyes to be replaced with endless work and some it seemed daunting. What more could he ask of them? Could they meet his expectations and do what they dreamed?

He grinned, excitement all over his face and blinked prettily at them. "I've hired you a new publicist. She'll work wonders for us and yes, you'll have the final say before we go through with anything but I've heard some of her ideas and I don't think you'll mind them at all!" He strode over to the conference room door. "So without further ado, please let me introduce you to Marcy Page." He flung it open dramatically.

"Konichiwa Lucifer! I'm here to raise you back up to the heavens where you belong!" The woman said one hand on her curved hip. She looked to be about twenty-five, tall, about five eight in high heels. She had an hour glass figure and beautiful gray eyes that seemed to glow and strawberry-blond hair. Sex and confidence poured from her. Marcy gave off an aura success.

The guys and Aine all smiled at each other as they looked at Marcy. She was just what they were looking for. Lucifer was on its way.
