Ok heres the next chapter!

I don't own any of these.

Onto the chapter!

Jack ran down the streets of true cross away from the old dorm, away from his prison. He didn't want to be forced into working with exorcists.

So he kept running. And he thought he was safe when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"My, my what do we have here? A young but powerful demon running about the campus without any supervision. Well that can't be right. Running away after all the trouble they had with finding you, well I can take care of that."

"NO!"

There was a poof of purple smoke.

"How could you let him go?!" Aster shouted as he glared at the Okumura twins. The four had gotten back to find the ward scuffed and both Jack and his staff gone.

"Aster it's not their fault." Tooth tried to rationalize. "They were asleep and you know how sneaky Jack can be."

"Why do you care anyway, didn't you want to stop looking for him?" Rin snapped.

"I don't but when we finally caught him, we just lost him again making all that time worthless!" Aster growled.

"You must admit boy is smart. Was good escape plan." North answered as he stroked his chin. Aster just let out a grown of frustration. The only one who wasn't worked up in some way about Jack's escape was Sandy. He never really wanted to imprison Jack and was sorta glad the boy escaped, but he also suspected he wasn't going to just sit back and put up with being trapped. But Sandy also had a feeling that Jack would be returning to them very, very soon.

It was as if time itself read his mind for suddenly there was a poof of purple smoke and suddenly Mephisto appeared with a struggling Jack. They all stared in shock at the two.

"Did you by any chance lose this young man?" Mephisto asked. "You know that's not very responsible of you."

"OI! Let me go you bastard!" Jack shouted.

"Now, now Jokul that's not very nice."

"Don't call me that!"

"Oh? Would you rather have me call you Jackson?" Jack froze at the name.

Everyone was confused. Why was Mephisto calling Jack Jackson? The young demon never said that was a name he had. Their thoughts were broken by a whisper.

"Don't call me that." Jack's eyes were tightly closed and his snowy-white teeth were clenched.

Mephisto just grinned. "What was that?"

Jack started thrashing again in Mephisto's grip. "I SAID DON'T FUCKING CALL ME THAT! YOU AREN'T ALOUD TO CALL ME THAT FUCKING NAME, DAMNIT!" Jack continued to rant on and on and as he thrashed, tears started to prick the edges of his eyes. At some point he switched to a demon language instead of English. "You don't get to call me that! No one but they do. N-No one! Don't-Don't ever call me t-that again." The pleas had grown quieter now and he looked as if the simple name had turned him into a defeated mess.

They all stared in shock at Mephisto. How could one name strike down all of the icy demon's defenses? Just then Mephisto coughed and regained their attention.

"Yes well, anyway so you don't lose him again I figured I'd help you with that, just so he won't fall into the wrong hands." With a snap of his fingers, purple smoke curled around the young demons neck and when it vanished, a collar was left in its place. At the feeling of the black band around his neck, Jack seemed to spark to life and instantly acted out. His ears, teeth, and nails grew as he tried to claw at Mephisto while ice crawled along the collar trying to freeze it solid so it would break. Suddenly heat erupted from the band, instantly melting the ice and causing Jack to cry out.

"What the hell?! What happened!?" Rin asked as they watched Jack stop fighting and claw at the band.

"Oh it's nothing." Mephisto said. "The band will just heat up enough to either stop him from trying to destroy it or to keep him from getting to far out of range from all of you. This way you can't lose him, but it doen't stop him from using his demonic abilities, it more of just keeps him in line." Mephisto then let go of Jack and vanished after saying. "Farwell and do try to keep track of your things."

They all stared at the spot Mephisto had been before turning to the now kneeling Jack. The young demon's face held complete anger and distress. When they tried to approach him, he shot up and backed up into the wall, growling like a wounded animal defending itself, his demonic form even appearing once more.

They all paused in their advance, glancing at each other not knowing what to do.

Tooth, being the only woman there and the sweetest, tried taking a step forward. "Jack? Jack listen, we won't-ah!" A shard of ice shot up in front of her and Jack pressed closer to the wall.

Finally Rin stepped forward. If he could calm down a giant cat sidhe that rampaging through the gates from sorrow, surly he could calm down a frantic teen demon that appeared a younger age then him.

"Hey." Rin called firmly catching the teen's attention. "You can hear me right? Because if you can you need to snap out of whatever that crazy clown did. I don't know what you're thinking but we aren't going to hurt you. You might not believe that because we're exorcists but it's the truth so just snap out of whatever the hell this is!" The other flinched at the shout and growled louder.

"How will shouting help calm him down?!" Tooth hissed. Rin just glared at her in response. Just then they heard footsteps and they watched as Sandy calmly approached the cowering demon. He would stop whenever ice would spike out at him but didn't back down until he stood directly in front of the demon. The growl increased in volume, especially when Sandy reached out and grasped the demon's shoulder. Jack narrowed his eyes at the silent man but when the two locked eyes Jack's eyes widened. While Sandy spoke no words his eyes said everything to make Jack freeze and his growl to slowly quiet. Jack stared into eyes that held no fear of him but comfort and a warmth that instantly made Jack feel he could trust this man.

Soon Jack was silent but he looked tired from the day's events. Silently, Jack slid down the wall, eyes drooping and he sat upon the ground. He saw a warm smile enter his vision before all he saw was darkness.

So that was that.
