"Naah, I like it the way it is, though it would look better grown I think." He got up, stretching as he usually would before moving to his own discarded clothing, pulling it one calmly and looking over at Sam. What a thing he had found, so beautiful. The day had been perfect, and she sure held her own, to think she was already getting up and walking again so soon after such a long session. Strong and pretty.

The demon picked up his jacket, slinging it over his shoulder. The runes on his arm had stopped glowing by now so he looked pretty normal except for the two glowing golden eyes watching from the shadows cast upon his face,
"You know you'll have to reveal yourself sooner or later at the castle. I'm not just going to love you and leave you. I want you at my side, Sam. Besides I wanna see the looks on the other guys faces when they realize the best mechanic among them is female and smaller." Xeriahalt chuckled at the thought, they'd be so surprised but they knew not to hold a grudge over it. As for the ones who already knew about it, they wouldn't be surprised, but they would get even more of a shock later...
"Time to call our ride." Xeriahalt pointed in the direction of the mountain upon which the castle was situated, a small blue sphere shooting out toward it and vanishing. A moment later a warp hole had appeared on the road back. It was a temporary portal for their return.
"Lets saddle up and get these babies home eh?" He smirked, thinking about what he said and looking over to Sam, "Then perhaps we can get something to eat, go to bed and continue trying to make a few babies of our own... Waddya think..? Hehehe."

She picked up the wraps as he talked of showing herself and sighed" I...I know but I didn't want to leave these out here...'She lied but sighed and stuffed them in to her pocket. She some how knew he was going to keep his word, she just couldn't see him hurting her ot any more. "If any of the guys get on my case I'll just dismantle their bikes....' She said a evil grin on her face some of him starting to rub off on to her. She threw on her tank top and jacket. She watched the portle coming at them and smiled mounting her bike turning to him"Yeah lets go...'She stoped thought hearing what he had said her face tuning bright red. "Xeri when we have kids is when you learn to have kids...."She joked winking at him her face still red not disliking the idea of being his she wanted very much to stay here with him yet she didn't know that their fun was going to be cut short oly a few short weeks from now.

"Come now, are you doubting my abilities as a Demon Overlord...?" Xeriahalt looked over at her with a wry grin and chuckled, hopping onto his bike, "The things I can do may baffle or shock some-one who doesn't think before doubting certain things eh?"

Xeriahalt cackled, gunning the engine, the bike kicking up earth and dirt far behind it before shooting through the warp hole where on the other side he skidded to a halt back where the bike had been standing when they left earlier that day.
He climbed out of the vehicle and looked back to the open Portal for Sam to come, resting against the bike with his arms folded.

Keria's eye went wide nt really knowing how to respond to that but she did the same and bursted after him on her bike going the same speed the hole closing right after she went in to it. She skidded to a stop right next to his bike and smirked lowering her goggles only slightly, she would still only show him her true eyes. "So sir where to from here?"she asked knowing allot of the men where looking at her with disbelief in their eyes thinking some oe was playing a trick on them. She jumped off the bike and made her way over to him and smiled not minding the looks.

"Well, it's fairly late so we should just grab a meal and watch some late night movie. Hey! I heard 'Zombie Angels of Celestia' is showing, perhaps its on tonight! I hear it's a real killer." Xeriahalt looked up absent mindedly as if thinking while he began walking, "Though the next episode of 'Scream! I'm the monster under your bed!' is on too and I really don't like to miss a show. Aw man what to do." The demon rifled through what he wanted to watch rubbing at his chin while he thought about it.

He looked aside to Sam and placed his hands on his hips, "Oh bugger it, lets get some food first then we'll see whats on, eh?" He looked about suddenly at the staring mechanics. Raising a brow,
"What? You never seen me down here before or something? You should all be of home already!" Xeriahalt folded his arms,tapping his foot as he stared at them. The mechanics were still in something of a state of shock until one spoke.
"But sir, we want to get all the vehicles up and running. Otherwise we cant join in the next big fight that may come along. We want to take care of this netherworld too!" A collective agreement spread throughout the large garage and Xeriahalt stamped his foot, not too heavily but enough to make the room shake a little with a low rumble.
"I appreciate your want to protect the netherworld, but you cant do it if you're tired and cant think straight.Thats why the schedule is the way it is. Get to bed and get up fresh and early so you can do everything at your best!" He raised his thumb to the mechanics, grinning in that childish way he usually did, "And that's an order, so move it!" Was added at the end, the mechanics then saluting Xeriahalt,
Yes sir!! Was cried out and the men stopped what they had been working on,putting their tools away and filing from the room.
"Good. That's more like it." Xeriahalt folded his arms and smiled, chuckling a little, almost as if proud of them, but looked to Sam with a wink, "You know, before you came along they were a fairly lazy bunch. I'm glad I picked you."

She smiled knowing the shows he liked to watch having put them on in the garage once or twice to get him to stay down there longer with her. She was sly in her own way too its just not all the time could she bring herself to fool him. she had a lightl pink tone to her face feeling his hand on her wasit, she loved his hands on her and now that shee felt like a woman again it was all the better.

She turned and watched them all talk glad to see her boys acting the way they should. She had grown to care for these boy's and cared for each one having to come know each one of their perks and falls. He nodded to them as they left and smiled lightly "They are a good grupe of guys some one just needed to show them lazy was not going to work here..."She said but smirked and took his wrist's in hers and turned him so he was to the wall his hands at his sides. "Well lets see we could..."She moved and kissed his neck slowly then came up as if thinking her hands still tight on his" Have Dominic record the shows have some food and...."he leaned up to his ear smirking having fun now that she could act like this. "Grab some food....then take a bath..."She said and lightened her grip lightly.

Xeriahalt looked toward the girl when she gabbed his wrists and the unexpected of being forced against the wall actually jarred him a little, What a surprising development indeed.
Her suggestion of getting food then taking a bath made him smile,
"Now now, Sam, you know if we do that..." His body seemed to turn black, splitting apart and reconnecting behind her with full color, arms now gripping hers and moving her so she was placed against the wall with her arms being crossed behind her back and being held by one hand whilst the other hand rubbed at her rear, squeezing at it lovingly while he whispered in her ear,
"We'll end up in the tub all night." The Demon stepped closer so his crotch was pressed against the mechanic's hands and he chuckled, "Tempting as the offer is, perhaps we should only take a quick bath and continue in the bedroom... Eh...?"

Keria's eyes went wide at his movement, "Did he just Split apart?" she thought as he pinned her to the wall. She gasped her face pressed hand to it. Her cheeks where red and her heart was pounding hard. She shivred as his hand touched her, that was one of her weak points she closed her eyes letting out a small gasp of air. she could feel the other press agents her hands"Xeri....." she wisspred shaking lightly wanting to turn to him but she couldn't move she just nodded her head "Sounds...g-g-good..."she wisspred softly.

Xeriahalt grinned, easing off momentarily before flipping Sam around and pressing her against the wall, but not so roughly this time, leaning in to to kiss her deeply, placing his hands against hers and pushing them against the wall to keep her in place, but not hold her down. It was the 'feeling' that he wanted to express, after all, a little domination was sometimes quite arousing and could make her more anxious if he played it out right.
Finally he broke the kiss with her and smirked,
"Well good." He stood straight, letting go of her hands and placing his own apon his hips and leaning in so he was face to face with her, "Besides, you'd look really funny with your skin going all pruny when the oils are taken out by the water. Makes it hard to grab on when your hands are all wet, you'll need something to grip tonight..." On the last note he stepped in close again, running his fingers up her neck and breathing upon the other side, "If you know what I mean..." He steped toward the exit, fingers trailing along her jaw totempt her to follow him,
"Well then? Lets go get something to eat, Sam."

She turned looking up in to his eye's this feeling wasn't new she had been made to do allot of things but the way he handled her the way he made her feel was nice wanted loved. Not just some thing but some one his some one, she kissed him back with all she would bringing her body to try and press to his but he was holding her to tight. She blushed hearing what he said letting her hands fall to her sides she knew what he ment and she was more then willing to fallow him. She sighed out closing her eye's and fallowed as if in some kind of trance. She fallowed him to the room not really looking at any one else as she went.

The overlord continued on his way to the room, stopping a random servant demon and ordering various foods before moving onto to the bedroom once again. He looked over his shoulder to Sam and placed his arm around her again, smiling to her pleasantly, continuing on until they hid the bedroom door, which opened of its own accord as usual so they could step through and it would shut behind them again.
Xeriahalt stepped up to his throne, discarding his coat upon it's side before he turned and sat down, beckoning Sam up to him,
"I think I may have to add another throne here soon. Heh."

She smiled and looked to the side still feeling like she was here under false understandings. Yet she just moved and sat on the others lap snuggling in to him waiting for the night to really start off.

That night had been different then that after noon the love they shared was not as awkward but not understood and placed just right the way love is really made. They had tried to avoid it yet they spent at lest half of the time in the tub due to Keria's infuince. They now rested in the bed snuggled close to one another, keria's body now frail from so much work it had hit her now and she was just happy to be in his arms.

Xeriahalt had made sure to make it more enjoyable once they reached a certain point, playing rough every once in a while, but only in good fun and making sure not to harm her. The odd bruise may perhaps appear but then it wouldn't exactly be what it was without a few marks to remember it by the next day, would it?

At the end of it all he lay there, more tired than before. The beautiful being that lay on his body, still connected, was embraced softly, the covers being pulled up over her back so that she would not get gold while she slept. The room was something of a mess itself, they'd moved around a lot trying all sorts of things. Just when it seemed like they were done something else came to mind and they would continue once more.

Xeriahalt's eyes slowly closed, a hand moving behind his head whilst the other rested upon his new lovers back, rubbing there gently until even he lay still.

Once morning had come he woke with a slight start, looking around for same who had fallen to his side during his slumber. It was morning already, though he was still slightly exhausted from last night. Practically a whole day spent doing what they were doing. He was amazed Sam even managed, the only other person that ever even came close to as long was 'her', but she was gone. In some ways he looked at Sam as the reincarnation of her, her spirit brought back to him in the form of another. Sure it was simple theoretical beliefs but it was nice to think it.

Keria felt the others arm still around her as she awoke the blankets around her where so soft and inviting she couldn't help but snuggle in deeper with her lover at her side. Yes she was sore but she would do it all again if he asked her tomorrow night. She looked up at him seeing the way he was looking her over and smiled blushing slightly" Hello..." She wisspred and ran her hand over his chest while trying to adjust her eyes. She turned and saw the small t.v and smiled"Can we turn it on I would like to see whats going on..." She said knowing there wa always something new going on in this big place.

Xeriahalt flicked on the TV as requested. There were various shows on but most were just for little demon kiddies waking up and getting ready for school. It was then he came across one channel that was rolling a live action feed from space. It looked like a ship was preparing to land on a moon and the announcer startedblaring,
"Last night at around 8:00 pm this new moon has appeared high above the netherworld of Diabolus Imperium. What is this strange new place? We shall be among the first to step foot upon it!" Xeriahalt looked at the world in the background, yes that was definitely his Netherworld. He clambered out of bed, walking out ontot he balconyand looking towards the still bright moon. A moments concentration and he finally found a target, raising his arm and sending a purple beam of energy in the direction of the moon.
"Right, the angle looks good, all systems are go and-hey... What's that?" The pilots and cameraman looked out the windows hurriedly, watching as a purple beam of light flew their way, their sudden screams of fear cut short and the screen turning to static.

Xeriahalt stepped back into the room, patting his hands off.
"How rude, I didn't say they could land on the moon, I haven't even announced its name yet."

Keria turned seeing the show that was on and smiled hearing the men talk about something, she wasn't really paying much ation to it until her lover had moved from the bed. "Love come back to bed your leaving me to get cold..." She said but looked seeing their moon slightly upset that they would even think about doing such a thing to their moon. Yet seeing the t.v. stutter and fizzle out her eyes widened for a moment she didn't know what to say or do it was way to early for killing in her book. Yet she knew the men would just be saverly hurt seeing as what they where. "Xeir love come back to bed I still can't move...leave them be for now you have made your point" She said smirking light patting the bed side next to her.

"Alright alright." He turned from the balcony, sauntering over to the bed and clambering in again, snuggling up close to her and pulling the covers up again before grabbing the remote and flicking through the channels again. He was lucky today was supposed to be a quiet day. But he knew that Edward would sooner or later make yet another appearance, that guy sure had guts if not brains or sense of any kind.

The Overlord moved up on the bed a little, pulling his tired out companion up so she could rest on him and see the screen over the lump that was his raised knee,
"Dont worry, my love, you'll be back on your feet in no time but I cant promise you'll walk right when you try, heh..."

Keria allowed the other to bring her up she laid at his side and felt like a queen. She smiled and brushed back her hair. "Walking yeah not the best idea for me right now... I just hope i can ride my bike soon...' She said thinking about her bike it was a lovely peace of work she had been waiting to fix up with a few things of her own. "Xeri... I... have been seeing pics of a girl around here... shes a lovely thing at that... was she your mother?" She asked titled her head to one side yet not looking in to his eyes not knowing what she should and shouldn't ask.

"Nah... She wasn't. As much as I love my parents, I wouldn't put up statues in their honor. They'd let it get to their heads a little." Xeriahalt chuckled, sighing, he knew the question would come sooner or later and was indeed a little hesitant to answer,
"Just over a century ago, she lay where you do now. Given she was still out cold but all the same. It was her who helped me turn around a lot. I was already starting to try and though I didn't accept her help at first... My time spent with her slowly but surely turned me away from the night and helped to pull me out of the darkness I was already struggling to rise from." He looked down at the markings that had spread across his chest from the long time of storing mana,
"She taught me things, like creating rather than destroying. Saving rather than wasting. I learned to be happy, that was until she died. She was mortal and though her great mana power sustained long lasting life like a demon, she grew sick and eventually perished. There was nothing we could do. We knew nothing of human sicknesses because such things usually are not our concern..." Xeriahalt sighed, closing his eyes,then looking at Sam,
"Are there any things about yourself that I should know? Anything other than hiding your gender? Tell me the truth. I promise i won't get angry. I doubt I can with you."

She sat up looking in to his eye's seeing this girl had truly made a difference in him. It made her heart happy if this girl had not saved him so many life's would have been lost and she would have never gotten to meet the kind man he is today. She held his hand as he kept going she was saddened she had to be lost to a ailment, she could see it in his eyes as well."She did a fine job at brng out what was already there in you....Xeri..."she said and ran her free hand over the others chest. lovingly bowing her head hearing he wanted more from her. She had to tell him she would not hurt the man she loved she raised her head to speak when the wall behind her was blown out causing allot of the wreak to hit her back cosing her to bleed.

When the smoke was settled there stood a man covered head to toe in white his face covered but like Keria's eyes his eyes where almost see through. She turned shaking knowing she could not walk and knowing who this man was. She yelled eyes getting teary in his eyes you would see anger and hurt.

In his serenity, Xeriahalt had failed to notice the gathering energy that caused the explosion and, though debris clipped him, he received no injuries. His first instinct was to grab Sam and lift her, pulling her to safety and leaping across the room with the bed sheets in hand so he could place her upon the throne, covered by the sheets while his body seemed to change in appearance, clothes building themselves upon him. Hey, who wants to fight naked?
The demon stood there on the steps leading up to his throne, eyes across the room and keeping a deathly gaze upon the intruder.
"Explain yourself, now!!" He commanded, the smoke about his feet spreading away from the rising dark aura that was enveloping him. He looked angry, there was no doubt about that, for through the darkness, two yellow eyes shone through from behind his purple hair, the runes upon his arm and shoulder glowing bright red,
"What impertinent scum dares to attack us?!"

Keria turned to him as she felt his strong arms around her. Her clung to him knowing there was no hope in her fighting in this place not now. "Xeri..."She said looking from his to the man shaking knowing this wasn't going to end well.

He stood there seeming not to have heard the other male in the room his eye's set on the girl in his arms but snaped back to the others eye's when he heard the name he had been called."Why should I answer to such a lowly Demon as yourself?" He asked glaring back at Keria.Now I see why your enrgey was so low..." He almost hissed at her shaking his own hands glowing a light blue.

"Because... In the next few minutes... You will know the meaning of fear and pain, you pathetic celestial maggot!" Xeriahalt grinned, white teeth gleaning through the bitter darkness. the room itself seemed to slowly be filled with shadows and unsettling cries that couldn't be identified as anything normal. The entire floating castle was beginning to tremble.
"Perhaps your possible last words might be worth your while, or shall I send you to Oblivion right now...?! Answer quickly, you wont be living for long..." The demon chuckled, his body splitting into two halves as it had done before, turning into two whole copies of the demon as one stood by the side of his exhausted lover and the other slowly stamped across the room, ribbons of energy beginning to raise about him.
It was then that the doors to his room burst open, a group of demons, including Zeica standing at the spear head with an unweildy seeming bow rested over her shoulder, were standing there in preparation to fight. A couple of warriors weilding an axe and sword, a marksman, rifle at the ready and what seemed to be a witch, staff held in a ready position. To humans this little band would have looked like nothing but they alone were enough to take over an opposing netherworld without the help of Xeriahalt himself.

Keria watched them all come in and tryed to brace herself to stand with the help of the thrown. She failed and fell back in to it seeing part of her lover coming to her seeing he could split himself in to two people. she looked at him eye's pleeding "Please don't fight him...Xeir..." She turned hearing him start to talk.

" You think I am here to fight you poor diluted boy?" He looked to keria seeing the fear in her eyes knowing what he had in store for her soon enough. "I wonder why you haven't killed that wrech yet..."He said looking at Xeri eyes holding something unknown.

"Oh I don't know. What do you think? What does the oh so 'perfect' mind of the celestians still think? You are the one who is deluded. And my reasons for not killing her would not be understood even if you tried." Xeriahalt replied, his hair seeme dot have elongated, spreading out like a wild main, limbs thickers and body standing taller than before,
"Either you leave this minute or you 'will' be fighting me. And I cant promise to make it quick, and definitely not painless. There wouldn't be any fun in that.."
Xeriahalt pulled his right arm back, a bright glow as energy gathered about it, the shaking of the castle had become even more violent. If he unleashed that kind of power he would demolish the entire castle along with whoever got in the way. Not that he couldn't rebuild it.
