Saeko Seishin's Story

Saeko's eyes widened as she heard Seiko, she quickly turned around, but before she could say anything, Jack had already started a talk with him. She sighed in relief, and just stood there with her everyday un-enthausiastic expression, as if nothing was going on, which was, quite stupid, since something DID happen.
She turned around again, facing the door, this time, Blu came in. She waved at him, but didn't interrupt his talk with Jack. She never interrupted other people's talks unless it was neccesarry. She smiled, it was quite a sad story the two had, however, it wasn't sad enough to keep Saeko from noticing Shiina's 'un-easy' expression. She sighed, she didn't want to bother Shiina, but still went after her. Thats what friends were for, after all, no?

"Oh uh Blu what are you doing here? I thought that you would have taken Kari back home. Well as long as I am here I will say goodbye to her." Jack saw how flushed he was getting and was laughing to think that Blu thought he wasn't coming back. "Look Blu I have some people after me, and I can't risk them going after you guys to get to me." He shot a glance back at the other demon hunters and then placed his hand on Blu's back. "Now Blu let not get dramatic. Its not like I am going to not talk to you guys in the next two years, I will write, call, or even video chat if you want. Besides I would love to have some company, if you wouldn't mind. I think there is something about me that you need to finally learn about. Come on lets finish this conversation later, I believe that we need to have a discussion here." He said with a smile that showed he cared.

Saeko smiled as she stood in the kitchen, listening to their conversation. ' He's one funky guy.. I wonder, did he know the Demon Lord would come here? Its nice that people take care of their siblings..' She thought, then walked up to Shiina. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked, putting a hand on her shoulder, smiling brightly at the younger girl, who seemed quite 'un-happy'.

Shiina started at the sudden voice of her older friend.

"Of course, Saeko-san! Don't worry about me," THe white haired girl grinned and shrugged. "I just have a lot on my mind, that's all. Now if you will excuse me, Some of the table need wiping down." She hurried out, it was nice that Saeko-san cared so much but there were just some things that she would rather keep ot herself. She put a big smile on her face before joining the others. If Saeko-san had noticed she was "unhappy" Then some of the others might have to.

"Oh Blu. So much about me that you do not know." Jack sighed and looked back at the others and then the wall. They wont be able to hold off Ciel if he comes back. But they also need my services down in Israel to take care of that new Pied Piper. What to do, what to do. Just look at Blu's face, sometimes he can be such a little girl. Jack thought and gave his brother a smile. "Alright kid, I'll stay for a few more days. But this is only because you need some help manning up around girls. Seriously bro don't blush around girls unless they make you do it." He poked his little brother in the ribs to mess with him.

Saeko looked up as she heard yelling from the room. She also felt an-uneasy feeling as her phone beeped. It was the demort-alarm, but demons? There weren't any for weeks... She sighed and looked at Shiina "Hey Shiina, we have something to do, appearantly!" she said as she took Shiina's hand and dragged her to the guest-hall, seeing as Jack and Blu both ran out of the shop. She followed them. "Maybe it has something to do with the demon lord. We should call Seiko, but first... Jack! Blu!" She called out, as she ran towards them, waving. "Jack, I'm not sure if Blu knows what you are or whatever, but appearantly he's back. He must be strong to pass through a sealed passage." She said, breathing heavily as she reached the two.

“Man do you girls have terrible reaction times and intel. I knew that he was here not twelve minutes ago.” Jack laughed at the girls in the tone of a demon. A dark haze was surrounding his judgment, as of this moment he was not Jack O’Lanturen. He was Jack the Pumpkin King, and he wasn’t going to let some failed demon lord kill his siblings. Jack had already let go of his mother, this wasn’t going to happen with anyone else. “Let’s let baby Blu here find out what happening from context clues.” Jack chuckled like a little crazed boy.

"Well its not our fault that my phone beeped only six minutes ago!" She huffed, frowning slightly, at both, his reaction, and his facial expression. "Do you know whats going on and what he wants? And why he came to the shop earlier? And also, why the heck am I in a maid dress on the street?... Well you don't have to answer that last question." She shrugged, then looked at Blu "Right umm.. I believe you'll explain later..." she said, her phone started beeping again. She sighed and took it out, sending a text message to Seiko, which said: "Hey Seiko, demon alert here. Appearantly something to do with Jack kid. I'll tell you the location later. SERIOUSLY, Saeko. :| "

.“Hmm, this is why I let the normal Jack deal with women.” Jack the Pumpkin King muttered and looked back at his brother. “Blu, go get Kari and hide out in the candy shop. Make sure you surround yourself with some form of protection. If I know this guy like I did when we were kids, he is going to go after everyone Jack loves. I just hope that the kid calls on more of my power two more times so I can take over this body and become the next demon lord.” He whispered the last part so Blu wouldn’t hear and that huge smile on his face would seem unexplained. Jack cracked his neck and sighed Man I can’t wait to take over this kids body when he uses all four demon levels of power. He thought with an even bigger smile stretching from one ear to the other.

"If you're done murmuring something in your boyly corner, maybe we'll go get that demon-thing?" She muttered to herself, frowning. Then she looked at Jack, narrowing her eyes. "Thats not really Jack.. Huh?" She muttered, frowning once more. Then she leant over to Shiina, and whispered something in her ear: "I'd watch that Jack guy, he seems to have a case of split personality."

“Boyly? Is that even a real word in any of your mortal tongues? Well anyways I think the best thing for you to do right now is get my sister and brother to the candy store and guard them. Those two have a destiny past this day, unfortunately I know who is his next victim. What a shame for Jack and Blu." The Pumpkin King said with a little chuckle knowing that Blu might understand who the next victim might be. This may make a little drama for Jack and Blu's relationship.

"What the hell...?!" Blu yelled, mainly at Jack. "Dude are you on drugs or something? And Shiina, Saeko, what the heck is going on? Who's this guy Jack's talking about, why is he after my sister, and what the hell are you saying about demons! Those things are just made up to scare little kids, are you kidding me? And Jack seriously are you on drugs??" he sighed looking at his brother seriously. Alright, the crazed laugh, he could ignore that. The talking in third person thing, not as usual. Mumbling to himself, kinda normal. But overall his brother was acting a bit crazy. Blu ran a hand through his hair and looked around him. Alright, get a grip, hey maybe this is a dream! Yeah, that's it, a dream...Who am I kidding, as if you'd get out of this so easily of course this isn't a dream! Blu screamed to himself in his mind. First thing's first, get Kari.

Blu could see Alex walking in the other direction down the street. "Hey, Alex!" he yelled, hoping she'd hear him. Jack had said that one of the 'maids' should go with him. He had no clue how they'd protect him, teenage girls in maid uniforms, but he didn't think it was the time to argue with him, especially how he was acting off. He waited to see if Alex had heard him.

Pumpkin Jack listened to Blu whine and cry like a little girl while seeing the girls watching him, it sickened him to see someone in his family act as tho they didn't have anyone watching them. He was pissed off at this new way that Blu was acting and showed it to him by backhanding him. "Would you shut up!? God how pethetic can a human get? I swear if I hadn't seen what was to come you would be lying here dead, but Jack loves you so here you are." Jack went off on Blu maybe taking a little bit of his own personal problems out on him. Some of Jack's personality broke out then and sent the Pumpkin King's arm around his little brother's shoulder.

Ciel wiped the red sauce off the corner of his lips. He tossed the knife and fork that he used into the family's sink. "Thank you for the meal." He smirked at the corps that laid on the dining table. Its clothes now drenched in red and its stomach and limbs now devoured--only strips of flesh held onto the stained bone. He stood and looked down at its face, her eyes were still bloodshot, her mouth was still open letting more of the savory sauce spill off of her lips, her cheeks were stained obviously crying for help. The male demon shook his head. "If only Jack did what he had to do," He said apologetically as he patted the mother's head. "you wouldn't get in the way." He brought her--now only boned--hand and gave a peck to her knuckles as a final farewell.

The twisted smile never left Ciel's face. He continued licking the blood off his slender fingers as he continued to walk down the road. His once white button down shirt was now unruly and half opened. The liquor stained his chest area both on and under the shirt, but the rose that was wrapped around his arm was the only thing pure on his body. As he walked the streets he folded one arm across his chest not wanting to bring much attention to him, though he enjoyed the frightened faces of the children that ran past him.

As he wondered down to the next house, he spotted a female. He stared at her through the safety of the glass window he realized that she resembled a little like Jack --but not entirely. The corners of his lips grew from ear to ear. A second course wouldn't be so bad. He thought to himself, but then shook his head at the thought. He decided to keep the girl's face fresh in his mind. "Rima could take her..." he giggled childishly as he walked back down the streets.

Down the road, he made his way back to the colorful cafe. He didn't think that Jack would notice things by now, but was surprised to see a small group formed outside. He stood from across the street and watched with glee as the half demon back handed the younger male who retaliated with a punch to the face. Things were getting better than what he imagined. There was nothing that the male enjoyed more than watching a small group in panic.

Dropping his hands at his sides the demon lord allowed the large dark red stain of his shirt to be free for all eyes to see. He cupped a hand around his mouth. "Oi," He called out to the group. Luckily there wasn't enough traffic or people so he didn't need to raise his voice too much. "You never gave me my order! I asked for two slices of red velvet cake and your best tea!"

"Shut up, Not-Jack." Saeko said un-amused as she saw Ciel. Her gaze shifted towards Alex, that had just came out, then to Shiina, who seemed to be annoyed by the guys. Then, her facial expression was annoyed as she saw Rima come up. It was another demon, her phone beeped insanely as the girl approached. She looked between Alex and Shiina, she would've texted the other maids, but she couldn't just take out her phone and start texting people, could she? She just hoped that Seiko or someone else would come out, after all, there was a demon lord, some other demon, and the Pumpkin King could not be on their side.
She looked at Blu, she wasn't sure what he could be thinking after seeing the demon lord covered in blood, and overheard Jack and Blu talk about leaving Kari at a neighbor earlier? Well, she hoped that Kari was okay, she stretched, putting her left hand on her neck, where a small purple mark could be seen. Her gaze shifted between Alex and Shiina again. ' Could this be the time to transform? Or would they expect us to? Maybe if we don't transform they'll think we mean no harm, and yet, maybe not.. Is Jack...'s multiple personality on our side too?' She mentally asked herself, her eyes sparkled slightly as she wasn't sure what to do. Alex would've probably transformed, since she was pretty easy-tempered, but Shiina would've probably tried to talk it over, or make up a plan? There were only four demon hunters for now, out of whom, one could not help. The maid team wasn't really complete, would it be wise to attack without them?

Shi stretched and walked out to the balcony, looking around. Just under his apartment, there was a pretty loud group... No wait.. Ciel!? His eyes widened, he saw Rima too. He quickly put on his jeans and a shirt, and ran out, he didn't want to miss the fun. Although, half-way on the stairs he started walking, who were the others? He thought he knew one of the girls, aside from Rima... Oh, it was that model from the magazine he bought last night. He smirked and walked out of the appartment, barefoot.
He came up to Ciel and inspected the people around him. "Hello there, 'young lord'." He said, almost sarcastically "And Rima.", his voice toned down when he said her name. He usually only used sarcasm with Ciel, or humen beings, but he wasn't the type to even 'try' to joke about a lady.
Then his eyes shifted towards Saeko, he peered at her for a moment. "Oh, so it is the model from the magazine I bought yesterday. What a coincidence. Are you here to get an autograph or is it breakfast time?" He asked, looking between Ciel and Rima.
Then his gaze shifted towards Shiina "And I know you. You're the girl that gets bossed around alot." and then he looked at Alex "And you're grumpy-face."
He went silent.
"Good lord, I feel like a stalker. I really gotta solve this problem..." He muttered to himself, going completly out of topic, with no idea of what was going on in that moment.

Saeko twitched, she felt observed... REALLY observed. And that wasn't cool. She took out her phone, and turned the beeping off, then looked at Ciel. "Seiko's fault he put on that old-school beeping..." She said, sighing. She was still holding her neck with one hand as she looked at Ciel. Then she shuddered as another demon came up. 'More demons?'
She blinked as she inspected him, he did look nice... 'No wait! Saeko snap out of it. They're demons.' She thought, she knew that she'd have to transform sooner or later.

"Hello Rima. When did you get so sexy?" The Pumpkin King said from behind the two demons. If they had looked back at the group they would have seen a flash of smoke in the center of them. "Oh and Ciel, I don't really care about much. But you know that two people in this town have a known destiny. Of course as a good pumpkin king, I must let some of my subjects fulfill their purpose on this plane of reality. But I digress. I let you take that first victim, because I don't care about her anymore." He ranted along as burying his blade into the ground and jumping up on it.

"So if I let you take the two humans that have a purpose in this city, what would that make me?" He chuckled with a twisted grin stretching across his face. "So back to Rima. Why did you come to the surface cutie?" He asked while lifting her chin up and disappearing in flash. Then he appeared on the shoulders of Blu in the middle of the group of maids with his sword balancing on the back of his neck.

A new guy showed up who spoke to Ciel and Rima as tho he knew them. Another demon? Wait I know that scent. Shi. How fun is this day going to turn out for me?! The Pumpkin King thought and his smile grew wider.

THe one that gets bossed around a lot? Is that what it looked like to other people? Shiina almost cried. All she wanted was for everyone to be friends and smile. Here we are, and everyone's fighting.. she thought bitterly. Who were Shi and Rima? Demons obviously. She could feel the leopard in her wanting to get out and fight but she held it in. After all she was the one that just followed orders.
Maybe this was why guys didn't like her? Immediately Shiina felt stupid for thinking such a random, stupid thought.
"Saeko-san, I beleive if we don't act now, then theres nnno point in acting at all. What if we wait until we are totally outnumbered?" She murmured quietly to her older friend.

Saeko snarled silently, showing her foxine fangs as she heard Jack. 'Thats nice, I was 'cared for' by a person I hardly know?' she thought, then looked at Alex, who seemed to be at the edge of her 'human' side.

"Saeko-san, I beleive if we don't act now, then theres nnno point in acting at all. What if we wait until we are totally outnumbered?"
Saeko nodded in reply to the youngest maid, then came up to Alex, and muttered something about transforming. 'Oh! If we transform, Seiko should get the signal, no? Ofcourse, we'd have to hold long enough.. And there are four demons. Well, nothing to lose here 'eh... After all, we have to protect Blu, and save his younger sister too.' She thought, and moved away from Alex, un-covering her mark, it was glowing slightly.

The mark grew brighter, eventually, forming into a cloud of bright yellow mist surrounding Saeko. Then it slowly dissapeared, un-covering the foxine Saeko.

She had a large fox tail, and brown-ish fox ears. She was wearing a dark toned dress-like outfit, and was carrying a bow, with arrows in a quiver behind her. She felt quite un-comfortable, since she hasn't transformed in a while, but was there any other choice? She muttered something about her transformation.

Shi blinked as the maid transformed, a grin grew on his face. "I wonder what cute transformations other maids have." He said almost pervertedly. "But my loyalty belongs to my Ciel." He said, smirking at Rima, almost trying to make her jealous. He didn't care much though, he liked annoying people.

"Huh, this isn't like Ciel. He is a take a small issue and make it as big as women's rights kind of guy." The Pumpkin King muttered and looked as the three went into the restaurant. "Well Ciel, I would love to stay and chat but I have to pick up a little soul at daycare. Do whatever you want to this group, I am tired of this scene anyway. Normal demon hunters are so stupid sometimes." He laughed and walked out with his brother Blu.

They continued down the street to where Blu had said that Kari was. "Blu look, there are such things as monsters. Almost every story by the Grim brothers is real, to an extent of course. Right now, I am not your brother Jack. I am a demon known as The King, everyone calls me The Pumpkin King because I merged with your brother and he reminds me of a pumpkin." The Pumpkin King explained the origin of the name Pumpkin King and how his demon soul bonded with Jack's already stronger human soul.
