Ok so this is the next chapter.

Thank you so much for all the reviews and follows and favs!

I'd like to thank Only A Guest for the review. It made me so happy to hear that because I always love getting reviews like that because they help me know how I'm doing but not in a mean way! Thank you!

Anywho onto the chapter!

They all gazed at the demon upon the couch. After Jack had blacked out, North had picked him up and moved him to the couch so that way the young demon would be at least comfortable. Aster had taken up checking the boy's neck, finding it red from the heat forced upon it.

"What the hell was that about?!" Rin growled.

"I don't know." Tooth answered. "But I don't like this."

"You don't like what?" North asked.

"I don't like any of this!" Tooth cried as she pointed to the band around Jack's neck. "I don't want to do that to him. I don't want that on him!"

"I know Tooth." The big man responded. Then he sighed. "Aster, how is neck?"

"It's not that severe of a burn, didn't even break the skin." The other answered as he eyed the red spots upon the pale skin. Turning to Yukio he asked, "Do you have any salve or something for burns not from demons?"

"Actually I do." Yukio then left the room. As they waited for him to return, Rin couldn't help but gaze at the burn on the neck.

"Why isn't he healing like normal demons do?"

"Don't know." Aster answered. "Maybe it has something to do with the band." Yukio then came back and handed Aster the medicine, who then started applying it gently onto the reddened skin.

"I didn't know you cared Aster." Tooth cooed.

"Shut up." Aster snapped. "I just don't want to get yelled at by MiM."

"Sure." Tooth hummed with a smile.

"Rin, can you tell us what Jack was saying when he switched languages?" Yukio asked. This made everyone look towards the half demon.

Rubbing the back of his neck nervously, he answered. "Er…yeah. He said something about "No one but they get to call me that.""

This made everyone pause, each one confused. "Well who the hell are 'They'!?" Aster groaned, voicing each of their thoughts.

"No clue, Sandy?" North received a shake of a head from the smaller man.

"Oh maybe we can get Jack to tell us!" Tooth squealed. "Then maybe we can grow closer, maybe he won't want to kill us, and maybe we can take the band off!"

"That's a lot of maybes Tooth." Aster sighed as he finished with the burn. "And they probably won't even come true."

Tooth pouted. "He seemed to warm up to Rin and Sandy well enough."

"And the kid probably has his reasons to." Aster responded. In the background Rin and Sandy looked at each other when Tooth mentioned Jack being comfortable with them. Rin gave a confused look but Sandy just shrugged in response.

Silence over took the room.

"So what do we do now?" Rin asked.

"Let's wait for Jack to wake up of course!" North exclaimed as he began starting things to do while they wait.

Meanwhile, many towns away, a dark chuckle filled the air.

"So the boy is finally grounded to one place, hmm?"

"Yes master. But it seems that the exorcists have gotten to him first."

"That is no problem. I'm sure the child is willing to leave the exorcists' chains that have bound him. He just needs someone to unlock the chains to free him."

Golden eyes shinned in the shadows and a wolfish grin showed in the darkness.

Jack groaned as he slowly opened his heavy eyes. He was met with an off white ceiling and talking towards his left. At first he was confused at what happened, but then the memories came rushing back. He was running, then he was caught, that name was mentioned, there was a tight heat around his neck, and then everything was blurry.

Shooting up in his seat, Jack let out a hiss as his hand shot up to his neck, only to find the band there.

"Ah, Jack! You are awake!" North greeted the demon not taking in his fearful look. With a yelp, Jack flung himself off the couch and away from the exorcists, fingers clawing at the collar and neck.

"Oi! Don't do that! You'll just hurt yourself more!" But as Aster moved forward towards the demon, he backed away. Frowning, Sandy decided to step in and approach the other. Catching sight of Sandy approaching Jack calmed down enough for the smaller man to pull his hands away from his neck. Sandy gave him a concern look.

"I'm alright." Jack sighed as he took his hands back. Jack slowly stood up but didn't meet the gazes of the others.

Suddenly he was trapped in a hug. "Oh I'm so glad you're alright!" Tooth exclaimed. Jack's eyes were as wide as saucers, freezing at the feeling of her hugging him. Pulling away Tooth grinned at first before a confused expression crossed her features at Jack's shocked face. "Jack?"

"What. The. Fuck?" Jack spoke slowly stepping away from her.

"Oi, don't be like that!" Rin snapped, "She was the most worried about you!"

"Why!?" Jack growled. "Aren't I just a weapon for you to use?"

"No, not at all!" Tooth exclaimed as Sandy shook his head as well. "Jack I don't know why you think all of us are bad but trust me when I tell you that I don't think of you as a weapon and that the collar upon your neck makes me sick."

Jack's face softened at her words. "You might think that but I don't know about the others."

Tooth offered a smile. "Trust me, their nice. Aster even took care of your wound!"

Jack looked to the scowling Australian. "Aw…you do care." He said with a smirk.

"Oh rack off. I only did it because we need you alive." Aster's comment instantly made Jack's expression drop.

"Ignore him. He's just stubborn." Tooth said.

"Why are you being so nice?"

"Because what that clown did was crossed a line. Then again he always seems to be doing that." Rin grumbled.

"On the subject of Mephisto," Yukio broke in. "Why did he call you Jackson and why did you freak out over that name?"

Instantly, Jack's expression turned cold. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Ok then, if not about the name, then who are 'they' that you spoke of when you were in the middle of freaking out?"

Jack turned to glare at Rin. "Did you translate what I said?!"

"I thought you had no idea that you changed languages!" Rin exclaimed.

"I could have guessed I did." Jack stated simply. "Now, did you translate what I said?"

"Yeah, so what?" Rin asked crossing his arms.

"Do you think that maybe what I say in that language, I want to keep to myself?!" Jack snapped.

"Oh please tell us! We want to get to know you more and to, well, to make you feel more comfortable around us." Tooth said sweetly.

Jack eyed them all, "It a long story."

"We have the time." North responded.

"I'm not getting out of this am I?" Jack sighed. He received shaking heads. "Alright, get comfortable it's a long story."

They all took a seat and with one last glare at each of them, Jack began his story.

So that was that! Next chapter we go into the past and it will either be split into two chapters or be a very long chapter. Hmm

Oh and we got introduced to a certain evil villain. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
