Chapter Two: Becoming Familiar.

The dark haired incubus lounged on the dorm room's cot, looking as sexy as
possible. From his navy genie pants to his black leather vest, the young
demon virtually oozed with rampant sex appeal. Too bad the female he was
showing off to was too miserable and far too busy packing and feeling sorry
for herself, to pay any attention to him. He wasn't too pleased about being
ignored; In fact he was on the verge of a full-fledged pout when Serena
closed her suitcase.

"Well... I guess that's everything." she murmured and picked up her
luggage.

He sat up; finally glad to be able to get some attention. "So then, where
are we off to?" he asked with his devil-may-care grin. Hoping that she would
say someplace where he could use his 'abilities' to their proper extent; a
motel or a strip club maybe. He always aimed to please... the ladies.


"I don't know. Uh what do you mean 'we'?" She asked, emphasizing the 'we'.
'What is he talking bout? There is no we???!!! Although he is kinda, okay
really really, cute, and it'd be totally cool to hang out with him and all!
Oooohhh I'll show that Mina!!! I wonder if he'd consider.... Serena get a
grip! he's a demon and you're EXPELLED remember, Mom's gonna be so mad!!!'
she scolded to herself

"Well, since that spell of yours flopped.. I'm pretty much stuck with ya."
He informed her, "not that I mind really.. with a body like yours.." he
added giving Serena the once-over.

"Oh ya! I totally forgot!" Serena cried, " I'm terribly sorry'!" her eyes
were downcast as it was quite obvious she had missed his last comment. "Well
then, we'll just have to find someone who can unbind us then. Oh by the
way.. what's your name? I'm Serenity, though everyone calls me Serena!" she
smiled, for probably the first time that day. "And thank you for saving me
from the storm!!"

The raven haired youth was tempted to explain that 'unbinding' wasn't a
very common ability, but he was charmed by her youthful enthusiasm and found
her smile to be sweet and most welcome. "I am called Darien. And you are
Very welcome.. Serrena!" he answered in a voice close to a purr. Thinking
she was rather cute he couldn't help but add, "as well as the most lovely
mortal I've ever seen."

Serena blushed and shifted from side to side. "Ne, Darien that's sweet of
you! Thank you very much!" she giggled like the schoolgirl she was. As they
were about to leave the dorm they bumped into Mina, Artemis and the
Headmistress' familiar, Luna. The black feline trotted up to the couple and
wished Serena luck, as well as warning her to be careful. "I've a feeling
you're going to need It." the cat said as Serena petted her in farewell.

Mina smirked as they passed by. As they were going through the exit, she
shouted a loaded, "Don't do anything 'I' wouldn't do!" to their backs,
causing one to trip in embarrassment and the other to laugh and catch her.

They had been walking for some time when Serena burst out with a question
that had been bothering her. "Say Darien can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"What's an Incubus?"

Now it was Darien's turn to almost kiss the dirt as he started in shock.
"You don't know??"

"If I did I wouldn't have asked!" she pointed out.

"What exactly do they teach you at that school?" he wondered, feeling a
bit lost.

"Well you know.... the basics. Witchcraft, history, enchantments, stuff
like that." she said.

"Uh huh.. and just how old are you????" he asked wondering when he would
get his chance at
her. Darien was really confident about her saying yes, since no one and I
mean no one could resist him. Who would want to? He was after all one of the
top five incubi of his class.

"14" she said.

"You ... you're 14?? FOURTEEN!!?" Darien stuttered badly. 'A body like
THAT and she's nothing more than a.. a.. KID!!??' Darien groaned at the
cruelty of it all. Cuz you see, he was different from your average breed of
sex-hungry incubi. Yes, he was a sex-hungry incubus.. with morals. Ones that
dictated clearly that MINORS were Off Limits! 'Damnation!' he swore to
himself. He just couldn't believe it!

"Damn" he swore out loud and kicked a poor little stone into the
atmosphere.

"What??!!" Serena pressed, wondering why he was so upset. 'Was it
something I said?'

"Nothing. Well.. ah an incubus is kinda like a.. demon.. prostitute.'" He
managed to reply, fiddling with the many gold, and jewel encrusted, chains
hanging about his waist.

"You're a Gigolo?!" she blurted out surprised and at his nod, burst out
laughing.

Five hours later, and more pointless (for him anyway) walking, he couldn't
stand it anymore. "IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY! SHUT UP ALREADY!!" he shouted at the
still snickering teen.

"Heeheehee... If you.. haha.. say so." she chuckled trying to stop.

"You're hopeless! Hey look over there!! There's a village!" Darien said
excitedly, hoping to distract her.

"You're right! But hey... what's all that commotion??? Fighting???" Serena
asked.

"Looks like a big fire.... hmmm wonder what's happening???" Darien said
pulling Serena towards the village.

"Hey, stop it! You're hurting me!!!" Serena cried.

"Stop whining!!!! Look, it's a riot!!!" Darien said, while letting Serena
go.

"Ya, but from here you can only see people crowding around the fire. Are
they making marshmallows or something??? Oooohhh what I wouldn't give for
food right now." Serena said her stomach giving off a small grumble, before
noticing something very wrong. "OH nonononono!" she squealed and began
dragging Darien away.

"Hey I thought you were hungry.. what's up?" Darien asked concerned.

"LOOK!! A WITCH!!! BURN HER!! BURN THE WITCH!!!" the villagers cried as they
spied Serena and Darien.

They spared no further time in chatting and ran as fast and as far as they
could from the bloodthirsty mob, escaping into the forest. Panting from loss
of breath they collapsed to the forest floor and listened for any sign from
their pursuers.

"I.. I think... Think we .. loss.. lost them!" Serena wheezed.

"What was that all about?" Darien asked, not feeling the least bit tired,
thanks to his demon endurance.

"A witch trial." She breathed and sat down next to him. "See there are
several different breeds of witches. Magic itself is neutral, based on the
fact of the nine hells where it is drawn forth from. It is neither good nor
evil, that is why a lot of white magic incantations call upon the demon
realm, and beyond. It's how you use this power that makes it so.'

"So what are the categories then?" he wondered, knowing a bit about magic in
general but not human relations to it.

"Well there's white, red, blue, black, and dark witches. This whole mess is
because of the dark witches." Serena explained. "They used their desires to
twist the magic and spells for their own devises and enjoyment, no matter
how cruel and perverted. Now the people hate all witches in general; And
they.. burn them." she finished softly.

Darien was not happy with this bit of news. 'Humans.. and they call demons
such foul words.' He shifted to lay his arm comfortingly around her
shoulder. "So you're a white one huh? Tell me.. what's up with the familiar
spell?"

"Well the familiar is a being that dwells beyond the realm of demons. We're
supposed to summon it forth during a storm and bond with it so we can
produce greater powers through it."

"Like channeling? Ah I see. I assume a lot of them take the form of cats,
because the feline is known for being quirky and opinionated." Darien
concluded, causing Serena to smile, much to his delight.

"Say Darien can you tell me more about the nine hells? They never said much
about them in school." She asked leaning against him, comfortably.

Darien tried to keep his mind on track. 'Fourteen! remember that!!',
"Probably cause they don't know. The nine hells, as they are called here,
are different realms, interlocked with this one. There are ten in total,
your's is known to us as the tenth by the way." he started, "Well each realm
is a different level of power with different beings existing on it. I, as
well as all incubi and succubae, female erm demon hookers, come from the
8th, along with greater demons. Your familiars must come from the mystery
realm of the 9th. The 1st is your basic elementals, 2nd fairies and such,
3rd lesser demons, 4th dragons, 5th holy spirits, 6th is the realm of souls,
and 8th, Gods. And well.." he paused glancing down.

Serena had snuggled into his lap and drifted off. Darien smiled and
suppressed a giggle. "well so much for that."
