A/N: Things get a little more interesting now. Hope you guys enjoy. Read and review!

-Kenta-

The others and I had felt Katsume's aura flare and raced back to the house. We could tell he was upstairs so we went up to see how Celia was, but we all stopped in the doorway and stared in absolute disbelief at what we saw. Katsume, the demon known for being one of the most feared demons in all Demonic Provinces was laying on the bed with Celia and had his arms wrapped around her, holding her close and was growling softly in her ear trying to calm her down. We could all smell her fear and the salty tang of her tears, but we were all too shocked to wonder why as we saw Katsume being so gentle with a human. He usually hates humans because they were weaker than him, but here he was, comforting one. Daiki was the first to turn and lead the way back downstairs. It didn't take long before the rest of us followed. I sat next to Kou and Hika on the floor as Rai and Daiki sat on the couch. We all sat in silence, silence caused by our shock.

"Did we really just see what I think we just saw?"

Kou asked, finally breaking the silence.

"I believe so."

Daiki said as he blinked a couple of times.

"But…Katsume hates humans."

I said confused and could tell the others were just as lost as I was.

"Do you really think its possible for anyone to hate Cece?"

Hikaru asked me and I turned to look at him.

"No, but-"

I said, but he cut me off with a smile.

"Cece's managed to make her way into all of our lives, even Katsume's."

He said and I blinked at Hikaru's statement in shock as I realized he was right.

"Are you sure she's not a sorceress?"

I asked after a while and that made the others laugh.

"No, but she is a very kind hearted woman."

Raiden said and I blinked in shock at him. He usually never spoke. I guess Hikaru was right, Celia had made a place for her in each of our lives and had slowly changed us.

"Wonder why she was so scared?"

I said after a while of yet another silence, but no one said anything because no one but the two upstairs knew the reason why and none of us wanted to see Celia, who was usually so happy and smiling, in that state again. And none of us wanted to lose our heads for pissing of Katsume while he was like this. We'd never seen him act so….caring. To be honest it was kinda scary.

-Katsume-

I stared down at the sleeping girl in my arms. She'd fallen asleep some time after the others had gone downstairs, but I couldn't bring myself to move. I didn't understand what was happening to me. I detested those weaker than me, humans were at the top of that list and yet here I was, comforting one. But it was just something about this human girl, no, woman that intrigued me. She could protect herself, she'd almost been able to beat me. She willingly accepted Daiki, Hikaru, Kenta, Kouhai, Raiden, and myself for what we were and didn't seem to mind. She'd opened her home to us and said we could stay until we found a way back without asking for a single thing in return. She could stare me down when I was at my worst and not even bat an eye, but was completely terrified of lightning. This little human was remarkable. I tensed when I heard her whimper in her sleep and looked up down at her to see her face scrunched up and her scent spike with fear. I frowned at the thought of anything causing her fear and growled softly in her ear. I smiled when she relaxed and her scent went back to its normal scent of wild orchids. I tightened my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me before burying my nose in her hair and closing my eyes. I normally didn't sleep, I didn't need to, but right now I couldn't help but let my mind wander as I drifted off.

-Cecelia-

I opened my eyes and blinked a couple of times. I looked around and realized instantly I wasn't in my room. I tensed when I felt something brush across the back of my neck, and my eyes widened when I felt something tighten around my waist. I looked over my shoulder and nearly screamed in shock. Katsume, you know, hot demonic prince from another dimension that stole my first kiss and the three after. The guy I kicked through my living room window, beat me in a fighting match, and fell from the sky with his buddies? That Katsume, was currently laying behind me asleep with his arms wrapped gently, though quite snugly, around my waist.

'Okay, what the hell is going on here?'

I wondered as I turned around in his arms. He didn't seem to notice, but he did groan in his sleep and pull me closer to him. I blushed at the contact. I wasn't a virgin, hadn't been since I was fourteen, but my lack of a love life lately and the appearance of several hot guys living in my house had made me extremely aware of that fact. I felt his body pressed up against mine and bit my lip to keep from making a sound.

'Alright, this is bad. I need to get out of here before he wakes up. And why am I even reacting this way with him? I mean this is Katsume Cece, remember?'

I thought to myself as I moved to disentangle myself from his arms. He groaned again, but I managed to slip out of his grip and get to the edge of the bed. I turned to look at him from over my shoulder and froze. He looked so peaceful right now. Usually he had a hateful, or bored look on his face that took away from his looks. Not much, but it did. But right now, with his eyes shut and his lips parted just slightly he looked really peaceful and extremely hot.

'Okay, I need to leave before I wind up doing something I'm gonna regret.'

I thought before getting to my feet and heading for the door. I stopped in the doorway as I remembered all that had happened last night. My mom and dad reminded me that that day was only a couple days away and I'd ran, then it started to storm and I couldn't move because of the lightning. Katsume had found me and had brought me back here. He'd been so kind, he even stayed with me when I'd asked him to. Having someone to stay with me through the storm reminded me of when she comforted me. It had been slightly different of course, but it was still something I hadn't expected from someone like Katsume. I looked back over at his sleeping form and couldn't help but smile at him.

'He's nothing but a big ass softy underneath.'

I thought before silently going over to the bed and leaning down towards him. I pressed my lips against his forehead lightly before pulling back.

"Thank you, for everything Katsu."

I whispered before leaving and heading for my room. It was only when I'd shut the door behind me that I realized I was in Katsume's clothes. I blushed heavily before grabbing some of my own and walking down the hall to the bathroom to take a shower. Once I was finished I pulled on the cut off denim shorts and my favorite Seether shirt before running a hand through my hair and walking downstairs. I glanced at the clock hanging in the hallway and frowned when I saw it was 6:30 on Saturday. I'd picked my parents up Friday.

'I can't believe I slept in Katsume's room the entire night.'

I thought, then blushed as I realized I'd literally spent the night with Katsume.

"Good morning Celia."

I heard Daiki's voice as I walked into the kitchen. I turned to respond to him, but froze when I saw the looks on everyone's faces. I blushed before grabbing the carton of orange juice out of the fridge and pouring me a glass.

"Morning everyone."

I mumbled, but I knew they could hear me.

"Sleep well?"

Kenta asked and I tried my best not to blush, but I knew it was in vein. I heard them laugh and frowned.

'Fine then, two can play this game Kenny.'

I thought as I sat my cup down.

"I did. Katsu held me while I cried, and comforted me the entire night."

I said and they all gaped at how I said it so simply. I laughed at their expressions, even Raiden's eyes had widened at my response.

"Why were you crying Cece?"

Hikaru asked, being the first to recover from my little comment.

"I…I don't like lightning."

I said simply, looking down into my cup of orange juice.

"You're afraid of lightning?"
Kou asked and I nodded.

"I'm afraid of bats."

Kou said and I smiled at him.

"Who's hungry?"

I asked and they all shouted at me at the same time making me smile.

"That's what I thought."

I said as I started to make breakfast.

"Though seriously, one of you guys should learn to cook."

I said and heard Daiki laugh.

"We all know how to cook, even Hika here, but you're food tastes so much better than ours."

He said and I blushed at his compliment.

"Thanks Shadow."

I said and he smirked at me. I set the food on the table and sent Kenny upstairs to wake Katsume. They both came downstairs, but when Katsume walked into the room with his hair slightly messed up from sleeping I bit my bottom lip to keep from moaning at the image of the sex god before me.

'I need to get laid. I had no problem being around them before hand, what the fucks wrong with me now?'

I wondered to myself as I ate my breakfast. Katsume sat across from Kouhai at the island and I saw his golden eyes look at me for a split second before looking away. I blushed again and finished eating my food. I put my dishes in the sink and took a calming breath before turning to look at the six boys sitting at the island in my kitchen eating breakfast. I couldn't help but smile at them.

"I'm gonna go to Algo's for a lil bit, anyone want to come with?"

I asked and Kenny and Kou looked up at me.

"You two have never seen Celia here fight have you?"

Daiki asked them and they both shook their heads.

"Neither has Rai."

Hika said and I smiled at them as I went over to the door and started to lace up my sneakers.

"Well, you're all welcome to come so long as you don't freak out on me like Hika did when a guy grabbed me."

I said and Hikaru shouted at me.

"Hey! It's not my fault! He grabbed you between your legs and-"

I laughed at him as I got to my feet and walked back into the kitchen.

"I know Hika, you were just looking out for me."

I said before going over to him and ruffling his hair. I could do that because he was sitting down, if he was standing up I'd have to lean up to even reach his head. All of them were fucking giants I swear.

"Well if you guys are coming you should hurry up, otherwise you're following on your own."

I said to Kenny, Kou, and Rai. They all finished their breakfasts, put their plates in the sink, and followed me to the door.

"Later guys! I'll be back by ten and if I'm not I'll call."

I said before opening the door and heading out, with Kenta, Kouhai, and Raiden right behind me.

-Kouhai-

I had been just as shocked as everyone when Celia walked into the kitchen and said what she did as if it was an everyday thing. Then she broke through the silence with the one thing that would always be on our minds, food. She'd sent Ken up to get Katsume and I didn't miss the change in her scent as she looked at him. She'd been around all of us for a couple of days and never really responded to any of us, but now she took notice of Katsume and for some reason that made me jealous. Hikaru was right, she had made a place in our lives, but it seemed to me like she was completely oblivious to the fact that all six of us liked her. As a friend or more I wasn't sure yet, and I'm not too sure of the others, but it's really only a matter of time before one of us tries to claim her as our own. And with three demons, a werewolf, a vampire, and a wizard all living under one roof going after the same girl, things weren't going to be pretty.

"I'm going to Algo's for a bit, anyone want to come with?"

She asked, bringing me out of my musings and I saw she was standing by the sink smiling at us. Me and Ken looked up at her. I knew she went to a place called Algo's to train, but I'd didn't really know what she did there.

"You two have never seen Celia here fight have you?"

Daiki asked and we shook our heads. To be honest, I was slightly curious to see such a little woman fight. I'd seen human women fight before and wasn't too impressed. They always pulled hair, screeched at one another, clawed at one another, and slapped like little children. It wasn't too appealing, but I had a feeling that Celia wasn't like other human women.

"Neither has Rai."

Hikaru said and I saw Celia smile at us.

"Well, you're all welcome to come so long as you don't freak out on me like Hika did when a guy grabbed me."

She said as she went to the door and pulled on her shoes. Hikaru shouted at her and I looked at him in shock.

"Hey! It's not my fault! He grabbed you between your legs and-"

She laughed at him as she got to my feet and walked back into the kitchen.

"I know Hika, you were just looking out for me."

She said before going over to him and ruffling his hair.

"Well if you guys are coming you should hurry up, otherwise you're following on your own."

She said and we finished our breakfasts, put our plates in the sink, and followed her to the door.

"Later guys! I'll be back by ten and if I'm not I'll call."

She said before opening the door and heading out, with Kenta, me, and Raiden right behind her.

It didn't take us that long to get to wherever we were going, and time seemed to fly by since Celia talked with us as we walked into the city. Ken commented that if she continued to walk backwards that she'd trip and fall and the only response he got from her was her sticking her tongue out at him and a smile. She'd explained to us that even as a child she'd hated lightning, it was the only thing that scared her and the state she was in last night made sense. But I still didn't like the fact that Katsume had been so close to her.

"This is it."

She said and me and the others looked up to see a window with gold letters spelling out 'Algo's Gym'.

"Don't just stand there, come on inside."

She said before grabbing mine and Kenta's hands and pulling us inside. Raiden just walked in after us before Celia went back outside and dragged him in as well.

"Well, what do you think?"

She asked and I looked around. The building itself was rather large. I could see a track on the floor above us with some humans running and walking around it. On the floor we were currently on there was an arena of sorts in the middle of the room with ropes surrounding it. Two humans were currently fighting in it and I ignored them to look around the rest of the place. I saw human training equipment and saw several cracks in the walls and frowned.

"I know it's not the best place in the world, or the fanciest, but it's kinda like a second home to me so be nice."

She said sternly and I looked at her. She could change emotions really quick, that was for sure.

"Cece?"

I heard someone ask and looked up to see an older human walking down the steps from the second floor.

"Algo!"

Celia shouted before bolting across the room at speeds I didn't know she possessed and launched herself at him. The older man caught her easily and hugged her back which I didn't like. A look at Ken and Rai told me they didn't like it either.

"Who's your friends?"

I heard the man, Algo, ask as he put Celia down.

"Oh!"

She said before she grabbed his hand and pulled him along after her until they were both infront of us. The older man slightly out of breath, but Celia beaming.

"You met Shadow, Hika, and Katsu."

Celia said and Algo nodded as he got his breathing under control.

"Well, these are their friends Kenta, Kouhai, and Raiden."

She said with a smile as she introduced all of us.

"Guys, this is Algo. He runs the gym here and is practically my second father."

She said and I saw Algo blush at her comment.

'So long as it stays that way the man can live.'

I heard my beast say and was slightly surprised to hear from it. It had been years since I'd last heard anything from it. Just like how demons have beasts within them, since I was a half-demon turned werewolf I had one as well.

'What's made you come out after so long Makil?'

I asked as I tuned out Celia's conversation with Algo.

'The human girl infront of you. She interests me.'

He said and I couldn't help but smile.

'She is quite interesting isn't she?'

I asked and he nodded in my mind.

"So? Thing you can arrange for some early morning warm up rounds Al?"

I heard Celia ask as I came back from my conversation with Makil. I heard him laugh before patting Celia on the head much to her annoyance.

"I'm sure there are some morons here who think they can take you on."

He said and Celia smiled up at him. She really was quite short.

"Good."

She said and Algo walked off. Celia turned to us and grabbed mine and Kenta's hands again and looked at Raiden and silently telling him to follow before leading us towards the arena in the middle of the room. She let go of our hands and smiled at us.

"You guys get the best seats in the house. If you're lucky you'll get to see some blood before anyone else."

She said with a smile and I blinked in surprise at her.

'I thought human women preferred to stay away from blood and fighting.'

I thought to myself, then remembered that Celia was not like normal human women and I was glad for that.

"Rai? Would you mind helping me tape my hands?"

Celia asked and I saw Rai blink in surprise before nodding. I watched as he watched Celia wrap white tape around her left hand before she handed him the roll and he did the same to her right.

"Thanks."

She said with a smile before turning towards the arena. I wondered briefly how she was going to get up there when she placed her hands on the surface and lifted herself up. I watched as she pushed off from the platform and rose into the air. She flipped over the ropes and landed lightly on her feet in the corner of the ring closest to us.

"That was kinda cool."

Ken said and I just nodded in agreement.

'Seems like the little human is full of surprises.'

Makil said and I just watched as Celia hopped from one foot to the other as if she was anxiously waiting for something.

"Alright! Our reigning champ is back! Who here is willing to take on our very own Ms. Cece!?"

Algo asked in a surprisingly loud voice and I noticed that everyone in the gym dropped whatever they were doing and rushed over.

'Is it really that big of a deal? She's just a girl, they could easily beat her.'

I thought, but something in the back of my mind was telling me I was about to see otherwise.

"I'll go!"

I heard a man say and turned with Ken and Rai to see a man with brown hair to his shoulders and stubble covering his face enter the arena using the stairs.

"What's your name?"

Algo asked and the man smiled at him.

"Tendai, and it's about someone taught you that the gym is no place for little girls."

He said the last part looking right at Celia and I growled at him as did Ken and Rai. Celia just smiled sweetly at him as Algo explained the rules.

"Alright. One….two….three….GO!"

Algo said before jumping through the ropes to stand next to us. He turned and smiled at all of us.

"You boys ever seen Cece fight?"

He asked and when we all shook our heads his smile widened before he turned towards the arena where I saw the man Tendai circling Celia who stood in the middle of the arena.

"Then you boys are in for a treat."

He said and I looked at him confused before turning to look back at Celia.
