Sebastian Michaelis

“I’m confident I’d still manage to find you.”

Konga laughed out as he shook his head ever so slightly.

“ Hey relax a little! there’s no need to be so formal with us, after all, we’re all family here, right Alina?.”

“ Well y-yes, though I’m not sure we will see him relax,” Alina said with a chuckle.

Sebastian wrapping his arm around Her waist caused Alina to blush slightly as he brought her close and away from the group to speak privately,

“ There’s a cat demon village about a days run from here, there should be quite the pride residing there, though that was the surprise I was teasing you with before we left to come here since I know how much you love cats~ “

Alina spoke with a smile,

The sound of Songo calling out behind them caused Alina to look back but not before Kirara had already hopped onto Sebastian’s shoulder, she was talking to him in her unique little mews as her tails rubbed against the butler. Alina watched Kirara with laughter as Songo apologized for her little friend.

“What are you two whispering about over here?” Inuyasha suddenly asked as he rested his head on Alina’s shoulder.

“ INUYASHA!” Just then Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by his hair that hangs down over his shoulders and pulled him away “ leave them be would you!” Kagome scolded.

Sebastian wasn't sure if he could call anyone his family, it wasn't like him to allow someone so close like that. Alina was the exception since she was his mate. Looking back to Alina, he smiled gently. She calmed him down.

"A cat demon village?" His voice trailed off, he wanted to leave the group behind and go to the village right away. He needed to see it with his own eyes. Sebastian hid his excitement well but, it didn't last long when Kirara hopped onto his shoulder. He raised his hand to run his fingers through her fur. "No need to apologize." For a second he looked at Songo to show her he approved of the action. "I'm enjoying the attention she is giving me."

“I will but I have everything shiny already. How about the heart of a young virgin lady?“ He looked puzzled at her request since it was pretty obvious that it didn’t fit with what she liked. “The heart is for a grandmother of mine. It’ll bring back her young appearance. It’s almost her birthday and I want to give it as a gift.“

Her tail flopped lazily onto the water. “Since you’re not human, you can do this, right? Once you have delivered to me the heart, I can answer any question you have. Then once you are done with your questions, you are to stop setting foot in my caves. Would that be a good deal?”

He looked at her, determining if she was telling the truth. "I can bring you the heart of a young virgin lady. That is an easy task." Sebastian had worst tasks given to him before. It should only take him a few days to find someone suitable, he thought to himself. "When is your grandmothers birthday? I would need to know so I'm not late and will we be meeting back here?"

His hand was so warm as her fingers laced with his. His hand was larger than hers; stronger than hers. Even newly awakened with power he felt so much stronger than her. It made her feel safe. Protected. She was sure if Sebastian wasn’t by her side right now she’d fall apart and the only reason any of the pieces are so held together was because he was finally there and by her side once more. If they had to part for any reason she wasn’t sure she’d be able to hold any of this together. Taking a breath, at his ushering, she followed him side by side. 

At the mentioning of A’mon’s body not being there she physically tensed. There was no proof he was dead. There was no proof that he wouldn’t get his claws back into her again. This was Thomas all over. This was everything all over again. That repeated cycle that just never seemed to cease. There was always someone out there battering and breaking her body. Her heart had started to increase as the panic was starting to set in. She couldn’t even hear the words being communicated between Katie and Sebastian as the static started to be heard in her ears.

The room was slowly darkening, even darker than what even demon’s could see as she stared straight ahead. Dark and cold. She felt as if her insides were made of ice as her breathing became rapid.

Thomas was still out there.

A’mon could still be out there

Sebastian could leave again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Feeling Dez tense, he stopped talking and looked down at her, concern flashing in his eyes. The news of A'mon must have triggered the reaction and so he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against his chest and pressed his face against her hair. "It's going to be okay, Dez. He's dead." He pulled back and cupped her face in his hands, trying to get her to focus on him and not on the thoughts that were crowding her mind. "One of the soldiers had said they witnessed his death."

Katie watched the interaction between the two, a sad smile graced her lips. She turned towards the servants and wounded soldiers. "Keep watch and make sure no intruders come into the castle but, I also want you to rest and regain your strength!"

She knew A'mon's underlings would come back to get revenge on them for killing their master and she was going to be prepared for it. She had plans to keep Sebastian close so he could be in the battle as well.  Turning back to the two, she walked over and placed her hand on Sebastian's shoulder, squeezing gently. "Go back to the room. We'll talk later."

Catching Sebastian’s gaze Sesshomaru narrowed his own in return, seeing them interact all he could muster was a simple - Tch- before turning his back and leaving in a ball of light that started at his feet and covered him like a bubble of light and took off up over the forest.

Alina didn’t look back to see the demon lord leave, but she did nod, and gave Sebastian a little smile to hide her emotions.

“ Yeah, I-I’m sorry about that with him,..” she trailed off as she leads the way through the trees, “ I’ll explain things a bit later, I promise.”

Before long Alina realized where exactly outside of the village they were at and she felt a little excitement and nervousness bubble up inside of her, so to keep mood getting sour Alina firmly took Sebastian’s hand into her own and with a chuckle she pulled him along through some tall grass and sapling trees, just to pop out in a small clearing on a cliffside of a hill that overlooked the village Alina grew up in, with a smile she looked back at Sebastian while letting go of his hand and ran to the edge to take in the view.

“ That’s where I call home, “She said with an almost bittersweet tone of voice,

The village had people walking about under the bright clear blue sky and clean and clear air, even the firm breeze flowed through nicely rustling the trees and grass around them and in the distance, voices calling out to Alina could be heard from a group people running up the hillside,

Intertwining their fingers together, he walked through the bushes and passed trees until they came to a clearing and he walked over, looking at the village. The village wasn't large compared to others he had seen but, with the people out, it made it look decent.

Sebastian was about to say something when he heard the distant call to Alina and his eyes landed on the group coming their way, he closed his mouth and watched as they ran to each other. Sebastian's mood dropped as he noticed her being tackled by the two demons that smelled awful. The new voice was slightly welcomed more when the man told them to get off and had helped Alina back up on her feet. He didn't need to worry, he could tell the other was already mated to another. As the group gathered around, being friendly with Alina he stood back and continued to watch. When they caught up, the girl who had been near the demon who was resembled Alina stood by him and had started to casually talk with him.

"I've never seen her this happy before too. It seems she missed this place." He replied back then glanced at the man once again, his lips curling into a half smile. The interactions between them were almost refreshing however he still didn't like seeing the demons being friendly with Alina. When they return, he would need to inform her of washing herself. The smell of others on her clothes and skin would only make him angry if it was their any longer than it should be.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." He bowed then straightened his posture.

Demon Slayers. That almost made him want to laugh. Were the demons here easy to kill for people to be able to slay them?

"Alina, I would like to talk to you in private." Sebastian walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist and walked to the side. "The demon cat, do they have more?" He was going to ask about the demon slayers but, the demon cats were far more important to him. 

He needed one. 

She started to blush a little at his first suggestion, it’s not like should object to that offer anyhow…

Yet he asked to spend time with her instead, it has been quite some time since they last had some downtime together and what not. She was feeling a bit lonesome admittingly. 

“Of course it’s more than proper. I don’t have anything important going on so I wouldn’t mind spending time with you.” 

Sebastian reached out and intertwined their fingers together. "I'll have to apologize for always leaving without proper goodbyes. I'll make it up to you soon." He squeezed her hand, hoping she wouldn't pull back and started down the path they were walking down.

"How was your year? Did you make any new friends?" He leaned in, gently bumping her shoulder with his. "Should I be worried that a new person has arrived in your life?" 

‘“Why, it is quite the danger! How can we defend ourselves if we don’t know the basics of this person? How can we stay safe?” Playing dumb was quite the easy feat when it came down to it; simplicity was needed and Death was someone that didn’t do much fuss about things. Excitement lit her mien and her azure gaze widened, approaching the man ever so slightly.

“You gotta be careful too. Only God knows who that man wants dead…I don’t understand his motives at all.” She frowned at the situation- that tidbit did remain truthful. Alair could comprehend why he was doing all of this…assuming it was a he in the first place.

She hadn’t been able to access any memories recently and it clearly would have to be done soon in order to solve this situation. “Maybe the police haven’t figured out much…he must be a smart person. I think he targets people that live alone, but I am not entirely sure- it’d make sense, though, right?”

"You're right." He nodded his head. "We wouldn't be able to protect ourselves properly if they don't release information about what the serial killer looks in victims." Sebastian made sure not to fidget or act nervous around the other. She may be of importance and could be looking for signs that he was the killer. No one has approached him before and casually talk about something like the topic.

"I'll try to stay safe." He smiled genuinely. She could also be a kind person, he thought to himself. Maybe she was his type after all. "A smart person... You may be right about that since they haven't found anything out."

Cimeries turned his wrists back down, hiding the scars from both their eyes as he tries to calm down enough that the tears in his eyes dry up. The gold colored irises shut, letting the tears spill down his cheeks, stopped only by Sebastian’s thumb running so softly over his skin. On a whim, and for a bit of comfort seeking, since the other doesn’t seem to be disgusted by his blatant show of weakness, he tucks his head against his shoulder, grounding himself with the others touch as his breathing starts to stop being so shallow and shaky and becomes a bit more even, more deep, as he focuses on Sebastian.

Words were not spoken as they just lay there, with Sebastian's hands rubbing small circles on his back to keep the other calm and Cimeries pressing himself closer. He only stopped when his breathing turned even and let his hands take a rest. Sebastian wouldn't admit it aloud but, he was enjoying the times they spent together. He was learning more about him and found that they connected easily. Conversations lasted for hours and even if they didn't speak the silence never turned awkward.

For the first time, he felt as if he could allow someone to know him more than any other demon has.

“Really? Dance seems to get quite the amount of views, unlike cooking and cleaning.”

“I wouldn’t be hunting if I wasn’t.” He rumbles, letting the manipulated water slough its way back into the river as he released it, “If you wish to share, you can if you would like. Though I recall you didn’t used to have such a charitable attitude about your meals.” He chimes, half teasing, half testing the water to see if Sebastian actually would share with him. He couldn’t feel it, as keenly as Sebastian, but when he reached inwards, he could see the energy from his last meal was beginning to dwindle.

And he wanted to be fed before that energy was snuffed out, because then the hunger would really set its claws in and sap at his physical energy, too.

"Times have changed. I'm more friendly to those I like." The demon was aware that most thought of him as one that would kill if they stole his meals or greedy. It was true, to an extent. He had made acquaintances that would help in the future and was more open to sharing if he was in a good mood. "Take as much as you want from me." The humans he had mauled, he took most of their souls and had crushed the rest. Cimeries needed the energy more than he did. Sebastian was the type to starve himself anyways.
