Summary: An uneasy alliance is forged but can Jade and the others trust Hsi Wu and what exactly is his connection to the demon lord Barkuda?

Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your bodies waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips

…It was not good news, Tso thought wringing all of his hands in distress as he looked at his siblings all of whom also held looks of horror and fear on their faces all of whom like himself wanted and had wished most fervently that the events that were even now unfolding were all a dream a very cruel one but a dream nonetheless and not…not a part of reality.

“There is no doubt” Tchang said feeling sickened to his stomach as he growled “he is…back”

“Spell…why it not work?” Dai Gui asked frowning “was supposed to keep him bound.”

Tso sighed wondering that himself disliking the fact that he somehow…had failed in some way to completely banish the monster who was now free again, “I wish I knew why brother, it was supposed to after all”

“But it did not and now we are all going to die” Po rumbled glaring at the moon demon openly “you should have known better”

“Po?” Tchang began wearily “shut up” he stated darkly “it’s bad enough we have to listen to you whine, bitch and moan about being hungry all the time but this? This is just over the top”

Po and Xiao bristled before Bai held up a hand “our brothers are right, we still have no way of contacting Hsi and warning him of the dangers that Barkuda represents”

“Let him be a target” Po replied bitterly “he nothing but trouble like his mother”

“Yet…it was Leng who saved us” Dai Gui began the earth demon trying to form understandable sentences, a problem he had most of the time a problem bound and connected to the demon lord who had been released. “Leng let herself be hurt so that…we could live”

“She was a weakling” Tchang commented arrogantly “as are Hsi Wu and Shendu, our only concern is to get out of here or find some way to destroy him”

Tso, Bai and Dai repressed sighs each of them noting that the maturity their fellow siblings had presented only moments ago was leaving them and for a moment the three of them wondered just how it was that any of them had ever actually been able to rule over anyone else!

Much less conquer much of what had once been a global empire belonging to the demon who was now free while they were all stuck here in this prison and if anything Barkuda was no doubt delighting in that as well and probably once again gathering his forces together in order to retake control of a world he’d controlled for so very long a world that was ill prepared for a monster of his caliber.

Moving away Tso and his two siblings sat down while Xiao, Po and Tchang began to fight each other over who should be allowed their freedom first.

“We must contact Hsi” Tso reasoned “he is the one Barkuda will go after first”

“But how we do that?” the earth demon asked “Barkuda keep us from contacting little brother all other times”

“Dai Gui’s right Tso, even I do not know of a spell to undo it and I doubt the others would help us” Bai replied shaking her head “and I doubt Chan and his associates would sit idly by and allow us to contact Hsi and tell him of his predicament.”

“We will find a way sister, there is no way in hell I will leave our sibling to the mercy of that sick sadistic son of a bitch” the moon demon replied surprising his siblings with his rather…inelegant dialogue which was a stark contrast to Tso’s normal calm and elegant demeanor and graceful speech.

A speech that usually had no room for such words because unlike the others Tso preferred being refined and disciplined in everything including the words coming forth from his mouth even going so far as to mentally keep his tongue in check and not use profanities at all.

They knew why he’d said it though, knew how frayed his nerves were at the mere thought of Barkuda being free to torment and devastate all other life forms now that he was back to make the world into his hellish playground.

If anything they didn’t blame him for any of it due to the fact that he and the rest of their family all knew just how cruel and malicious Barkuda could be to all of them whenever the dark one used them in order to amuse himself and his generals.

If anything the demon enjoyed making others miserable in order to have his version of ‘fun’.

A version that…had always brought pain to everyone who had the misfortune of being a recipient for Barkuda’s sick and twisted desires, and ultimately … death as well Bai reminded herself bitterly feeling as deeply troubled as her siblings.

For Barkuda to be free meant that there was no true justice at all in the world.

There had to be something that could stop him Tso wondered bitterly, but what?

He wished he truly knew, wished that the monster who had plagued so many was not back in their lives obviously planning revenge and to continue with his sick and twisted plans to bring his kind of order to the world.

It was if anything a vision that Tso suspected had no room for him or his siblings and if anything that frightened him more then he cared to admit…

Hear the cry of War
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord

…In the depths of the cavern that had housed his ancient and mystical treasures Barkuda looked down at the dust before him, looked and smiled thinking about just how easy it was going to be now that he had returned to the realm he so desired.

A realm where people were so filled with hate and anger and mistrust, much of it directed at people whom the ‘haters’ did not agree with on anything at all.

He loved it whenever people were consumed with hate; it made him stronger knowing that people were not only victims to that hate but that they were also victims of their own passions whereas he was not.

He relished watching as people called those they disliked such cruel and vulgar names simply because they were weak emotionally, relished and grew in power as he felt the hatred and the depravity of the mortals and other demons alike.

They were fine wines for him to savor as was fear and terror, fine meals to savor as were the chis and souls and life forces of all those who had fallen to him be it in battle or in a slaughter of course to him both were one and the same.

And he had enjoyed watching the more ‘sick’ and ‘ruthless’ humans crush and conquer devastating all those under them, relished and applauded even going so far as to give them ‘encouragement’ via their dreams helping to bring out the dark sides that those and others had.

If anything it was fun to interfere and to bring so much misery to people and yet at the same time he had missed it and now that he was back he would add to it once he dealt with the eight siblings and deal with them he would.

But all of that and his dreams of conquest were to be in their proper time and place, for now he would search for his minions and begin anew amongst other things..

Dreams that he would pursue once more, dreams that included ripping the eight apart for daring to turn against him and ruin his plans but for now? Now he would focus on the youngest of the demon siblings and when the time was right he would take all that the boy held dear and he would destroy it in front of the bastard hanyouu and he would do it in such a way it would cause Hsi Wu such agony the boy would willingly give up his soul and his chi and his life force.

And Barkuda would drink deeply enriching himself as he’d planned to do to that wretched woman Leng Hung Chao.

He paused sensing a dark and sadistic presence and he smiled upon seeing the winged demon he had brought forth appear before him and bow reverently his manned head low as if he was standing before some awesome dark god who could annihilate anyone at any moment.

“Well Apollyon?” Barkuda asked with a smile watching as the tail of the winged demon named Apollyon lashed out back and forth.

‘Apollyon’ growled looking up at his master and creator having nothing but respect for the being who had created him “I have found all but two my lord”

“Imprisoned are they?” Barkuda asked with a chuckle “my my, it would appear the siblings have been busy”

“They had help” Apollyon growled in that deep gravelly voice of his not at all hiding his disgust from his dark and sadistic master whom he knew could see right through any lie after all lies sang out to Barkuda, “they had…human help”

“I see," he paused deep in thought then shrugged "no matter” the demon lord began with a dismissive snort “you’ve done well and now? Now I have another task for you in you’re spare time”

“Anything master, anything” Apollyon replied his eyes gleaming evilly.

Barkuda smiled calmly looking at the fingers on the right hand; “the game is cat and mouse” he said his smile turning evil and filled with cruelty…

Victims falling under chains
You hear them crying death pains
The fists of terrors breaking through
Now there's nothing you can do

...Despite the speedy and almost miraculous recovery that Jade had made, Chan and the old chi wizard still did not trust Hsi Wu and had been expressing that distrust repeatedly

Which of course irritated Jade who only wanted to make Hsi feel more comfortable considering how he was now in the same position that she had been years ago only this time he had apologized and begged her for forgiveness even risking his life to protect her when Barkuda had first confronted them back in the cavern where he had been sealed away according to folklore.

Right now Hsi was sitting a few feet away from her a sanction imposed by Jackie who was doing his best to keep the sky demon away from his niece something that also did not sit well with her.

Jade reached out her hand to him wanting him to hold and touch her and make her feel alright and he smiled at her before Jackie glared in his direction and placed tons of books on his lap preventing him from touching Jade

“Jackie” Jade protested obviously not happy with the way Hsi was being treated “I just wanted to touch his hand”

“Jade we have work to do besides he is a bad influence on you” Jackie replied in that patronizing tone of his the one that told how much of his mind was made up.

The same tone that she really disliked a tone her parents had also used whenever she did something they did not find ‘age-appropriate’.

She narrowed her eyes irritated upon hearing that and muttered numerous things to herself while opening a book very put out with him, just wanting to spend time with a guy she really liked of course Jackie would have none of it especially if she voiced the idea she wanted to date the sky demon.

In the back of her mind she wondered how a man so intelligent could just be so...so set in his ways!

Especially when they had bigger problems to worry about than a sky demon who desired her of course Jade herself was a little thankful that Jackie didn’t know about Hsi and her earlier activities otherwise she was sure his first act upon finding them would have been to banish Hsi Wu immediately!

Something she knew she didn’t want to happen to the sky demon that she ached for ever so much since he had introduced her to carnal pleasure.

Speaking of aforementioned demon she thought with a secretive smile having gotten an idea; let’s see how he reacts to this she thought feeling more then a little aroused at the thought of the things he had done to her, slowly sliding her foot under the table up his leg.

Hsi blinked feeling something brush against his leg and he looked up from the book he was reading through noticing that seductive and almost impish smile on Jade’s face wondering just what exactly his jewel was up to right now having noticed her taking off one of her shoes.

He bit back a shiver feeling her bare foot slide up his pants and he blinked again swallowing a little wondering what was going on, trying to convince himself that surely Jade wouldn’t be trying something in front of her uncles and the sumo.

It took him a few seconds to remember that Jade if anything was a mischief maker and liked to play games of her own with people.

A few seconds that almost cost him his silence he realized almost gasping out as her foot massaged his leg for several seconds before he mouthed the word 'behave' to her hoping she’d stop before he got into trouble.

Jade meanwhile mouthed 'no' to him her foot sliding further up his leg, massaging his thigh as she read her book in an ‘innocent’ manner.

Hsi shivered having shifted a little feeling a certain part of his body start to respond to her touch unable to not help but remember when she had taken him into her mouth taking all of his seed swallowing it all with relish and desire.

That had been one of the most exciting things he had ever experienced, hell Jade had put all of his pleasure slaves to shame with that act alone and not only that he found himself even more addicted to her then before!

And if anything Hsi could not wait to actually put himself in her so that he could feel the heat of her womanhood while he was inside her slamming his hard manhood into her intimate regions burying himself inside her but he had to wait until they were alone and she was ready for that.

Sadly Jade wasn’t making it easy he thought with a mental growl as her food slid up dangerously close to his groin while her eyes remained on the book in front of her while her uncles chatted with each other and with Tohru.

He shivered feeling a rush of heat and groaned inwardly and Jade held back a smirk continuing to massage his groin gently knowing that he was hard and aroused due to the fact that she could feel it and like the sky demon she imagined his hard organ deep within her, just as she imagined him filling her, burying himself all the way to the hilt his hard cock so deep inside her as he possessed her so completely it made her wet with desire and arousal.

Yes, Jade was practically drooling at those rampant lusty thoughts and was more then eager to lose her virginity to the demon that had been plaguing her thoughts since she’d first met him.

Smirking she gently pressed her foot against his groin causing him to bite back a whimper and a moan in frustration wanting to cum now wanting to take her for his own inwardly cursing Chan for not letting him be alone with his jewel!

Slowly Jade withdrew her foot and looked up at him noticing how he looked almost grateful up until she smirked repeating her movements again.

It felt good to get him hard like that she mused enjoying her moment of power over him knowing that it was now she who was the one who was seducing instead of things being the other way around as it had been for her for years thanks to him.

It was if anything truly satisfying for her to drive him insane with lust and desire for a change and she winked at him impishly feeling his cock stir and strain against his pants and she shivered remembering how he had tasted.

He’d tasted so very good that Jade had found herself wanting more and the more she wanted the more aroused she got and if anything it was all his fault too!

Which was why she decided to turn the tables on Mr. big shot sky demon by teasing him and reminding him just who was boss here by simply driving him insane with desire much as he had done and so again she winked at him this time by rubbing her foot in a circular motion teasing him even as she watched his every reaction enjoying the fact that he desired her touch as much as she desired his own.

Hsi meanwhile groaned inwardly going out of his mind with lust due to the games that this girl this this woman was playing with him!

He was the sky demon for evil’s sake! He wasn’t supposed to fall under her spell; he was supposed to make her fall under his spell!

Jade meanwhile was almost hoping for him to snatch her up and fly out the window with her so that he could do anything and everything to her that she ever wanted, hell she was dreaming about him slamming into her from behind his balls slapping against her backside as the two of them came hard.

It was at that moment that Uncle intervened with one of his 'hot chaaaaaas' causing Jade to quickly pull her foot away hating how she was in effect leaving him ‘hanging’ by doing so.

Hsi meanwhile sighed half in relief and half in resignation before seeing the mischievous twinkle in her eyes, realizing that her meaning was very clear, knowing that as soon as they were alone she would let him take her.

He felt his heart soar as she gave him a small smile and unbidden he smiled back prompting a frown from Jackie as soon as he caught sight of the two of them smiling at each other.

Now THIS was just stupid Jade thought with a growl of annoyance upon seeing the almost hostile look Jackie was giving her sky demon!

It was just a friendly smile! She thought wanting to smack Jackie repeatedly for being so so so hostile towards Hsi.

It was as if he knew that Hsi wanted and desired her and had vowed to not let that happen.

Unbidden Jade gently rubbed her foot against his leg before turning to Uncle that single show of support making the sky demon feel easier about being here in the shop.

“Uncle?” Jackie asked wondering what the old man would say.

Uncle sighed “Barkuda, was ancient demon lord before time of known dynasties, ruled much of the world with fear and terror from palace somewhere in middle of China”

“No duh” Hsi replied sarcastically before Uncle twacked him causing him to yelp from the unexpected and totally uncalled for blow to his poor head!

Jade meanwhile sighed and shook her head feeling so totally embarrassed by her family’s actions.

“Let uncle finish!” the irascible one stated angrily glaring at Hsi daring him to argue with him.

“Fine, fine” Hsi muttered darkly sparing a glance to Jade.

It was no wonder Jade did not want to be around her relatives all the time if this was the way they acted he thought darkly reminded of his own screwed up family

But then he himself was better company for Jade, he thought with an inward smirk thinking about the young woman sitting across from him with eyes that were so very intense and filled with a desire for excitement, a desire that reminded him of himself as it turned out.

Uncle cleared his voice again glaring at Hsi before he continued “Barkuda ruled all of Asia, Europe, Africa and much of the eastern world with terrifying army led by numerous generals who as of yet are still unknown to us, rule was stopped by...Leng Hung Chao who faced and defeated him"

Upon hearing that Hsi felt a stirring of pride and joy, his mother had been a hero to her people?

Once Bai had told him that she’d never felt like a hero even whenever she’d tried to do the right thing never once caring about what happened to her as long as Hsi, his siblings and everyone else was indeed safe from the monster who hungered for the world looking at it with eyes filled with that never ending lust for power.

It seemed so unreal he thought smiling at the memory causing Jade to smile as well upon seeing the glimmer of pride for Hsi’s mother in the sky demons eyes.

Uncle narrowed his eyes “sky demon has something to share?”

“Ummm yeah, Leng was my mother”

“Pfft Leng Hung Chao would never associate with a demon especially not to make another demon” uncle stated with what was a very condescending air.

Hsi growled glaring at the chi wizard “listen you pile of bones she was my mother and even though I don't have very many memories of her I loved her okay?”

Jade reached out to gently touch his hand in an effort to calm Hsi down not wanting him to get himself into even more hot water.

Uncle narrowed his eyes obviously not even deterred by Hsi’s outburst “sky demon a demon and demons never come from anything pure!”

Jade winced seeing rage starting to seep forth from Hsi upon hearing her great uncle's insensative comment.

“You know what this is a waste of my time!” the sky demon growled getting up “I have been more then accommodating to you both and you have the gall to say that I am lying about one of the only people who cared about me to risk her life to save me and my siblings from that monster!”

Jackie took a step forward and Hsi snarled at him “you can't know what it's like growing up without her because she's dead thanks to the same monster that tricked me! And you certainly cannot know what it's like growing up around Tchang or Shendu who vehemently drill the notion of humans being beneath them all while looking down on you because you are half human!”

“Hsi...” Jade whispered trying to calm him down

“All demons lie is their nature” uncle shot back “do not have an ounce of truth in them and cannot care for anyone but themselves” he added causing Hsi to growl low in his throat

Jade of course was also unhappy with her great uncle’s comments and cut the sky demon off by glaring at the old chi wizard “I can’t believe you're being an asshole!” she yelled at uncle her golden eyes flashing with anger at the statements he had just made.

Uncle took a step back in surprise and Hsi growled at him inwardly thankful for Jade was doing by standing up for him not to mention the moral support she’d been giving him.

“You want proof you old goat? Then fine!” he growled tossing a single medallion onto the table and stormed into the next room fighting back the urge to cry reminded of all the things he had done wrong things and actions that had never once reminded the world of the woman who had given her life to save him.

Jade tentatively picked up the medallion her heart breaking for the sky demon who had stormed out moments ago.

It read simply:

For my little Hsi Wu who is the hope of a new world ~ Leng Hung Chao

“Oh...” Jade blinked as she looked at it feeling hurt for Hsi Wu and angry at Uncle for being so insensitive towards Hsi who hadn’t even done anything wrong so far.

“Even so” Jackie began after Uncle read it “that does not excuse Hsi Wu's actions”

“Bite me.” Jade snapped angrily storming to the other room with the medallion infuriated with the things her uncles had said to Hsi, things that should never have been said to begin with!

Jackie's eyes widened as did uncle's both of them clearly surprised by Jade’s ardent defense of the last of the eight demon sorcerers but he said nothing as she left feeling rather well...guilty about what had been said and done.

Jade sighed, looking for Hsi unable to believe her family would say things like that without even having all the facts in the case as it were.

He was sitting down in the next room trying so very hard not to cry not wanting to look weak in front of these mortals who slandered him so by reminding him that Hsi had dishonored his mother's memory with every life he and his siblings had taken and enslaved.

Wrapping her arms around his neck Jade nuzzled him wanting for him to be okay "You okay?" she asked looking at him in concern.

He looked at her eyes as red as blood filled with hurt, pain, guilt and so many other things, human things it left no room in her mind for doubts on the humanity in Hsi Wu

“Let's get out of here” she whispered

He nodded once letting her hold him letting her comfort and hold him her scent and her presence comforting him in ways he had never known before meeting her.

She smiled a little and slid the medallion back into his hand “I’m sorry'

“I miss her so much Jade”

“I don’t doubt that one bit not after seeing how you acted back there” she whispered as they slipped out of the shop

“Funny isn't it, I miss her yet at the same time you're uncle is right, I did dishonor her memory”

She sighed and shook her head, squeezing his hand even as she let him continue knowing he needed to get this off of his chest.

“And what scares me now that I look back on it all I wasn't even sorry”

Jade meanwhile knew otherwise, she knew, somehow she knew that if he was not sorry he wouldn’t be feeling like this right now or have missed his mother as much as he did.

“Until I met you I wasn't sorry Jade”

She smiled tenderly kissing him “let’s blow this taco stand you’re battyness” she replied teasingly wanting him to feel better and on a whim she slipped her hand into his own and led him out ignoring her uncles and whatever protests they would have.

Hsi meanwhile could only look on in surprise as she led him out the door and down the street planning to take flight and carry her to his apartment while in the back of his mind he noted just how right it felt holding her hand a smile forming as the display of tenderness and caring she had for him.

It made him feel happy knowing that she wanted and cared about him so.

They found an alley and he spread his wings out still in his human form planning to wait until after they were alone and away from prying eyes before he took his demon form.

Hsi looked into her eyes and smiled “ready to fly?”

“With you? Always” came the reply as Jade smiled at him getting lost in his eyes whether they were brown or red not repulsed by either of his forms.

With a grin the sky demon picked her up “when we get to my place I am going to have to punish you for teasing me so” he replied with a silky purr his tone promising so many things for them to do.

“I’ve been a baaaad little girl” she shot back with an almost seductive wink and Hsi chuckled before gasping a little shivering as one little warm feminine hand dipped into his pants.

Winking Jade squeezed him eliciting a moan from him “mmm...” she purred, teasing him a bit before he took flight his wings beating as they left the ground heading for his apartment.

He growled flying with her in his arms “I'm glad you want me”

Jade smiled and nuzzled him tenderly “always” she replied with a smile meaning every word of it…

Hear the cry of War
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord

… They landed an hour later Hsi having taken his time letting Jade savor flying with him wondering what she'd look like with a pair of wings

She would without a doubt look stunning he thought with a smile watching as she set her feet down on the balcony looking up at him smiling back as he set his own feet down on the balcony.

He smiled looking at her about to say something when she pushed him against the wall causing him to blink in surprise before she kissed him hungrily as if seeking to devour his mouth with her own.

For the most part Jade loved the feel of his lips and her own pressing together and couldn’t wait to get into his apartment the heat between her legs getting even more unbearable as she kissed him forcibly sliding her tongue into his mouth.

He backed up against the railing in surprise and moaned feeling his body respond to her actions to which Jade replied by smirking sliding one hand down into his pants

He moaned and whimpered taking human form before any of his neighbors could see his demon one both his whimper and his moan turning into a groan as his lips left hers “Jaaaaaddeeee”

“Hsi....” she moaned, wrapping her fingers around his cock

Hsi shuddered whimpering and moaning as he felt her hot little hand wrap around the base squeezing him again then he gasped as she pushed his pants down sliding back the area in the front part of his boxers and took him into her mouth again teasingly sucking on him for several moments

And she purred swirling her tongue around the head giving him a few sucks before pulling away winking at him impishly.

He moaned looking at her surprised but not in an unpleasant way.

“Bed now” she growled a little surprising him with the desire in her eyes and the forward almost dominant way she said that.

He nodded staring at her seeing the unrestrained wild lust in her eyes and shivered getting out a key to the door slipping it into the lock before he moaned feeling her hands on his cock again!

Was she trying to torture him!

She was intent on driving him wild with desire and gently tugged at his cock, using it to guide him into the apartment.

He moaned finally getting the door open then turned removing the keys only for her to tackle him to the floor surprising him even further still with the forcefulness she was displaying.

Whereas the other night she had been shy and now? Now she was forceful and this caused him some surprise.

As if she had read his mind Jade smiled almost shyly looking up at him seeing his surprise blushing a little once again the shy teenage girl “it…’s just that I...I’ve wanted you...for so long...” she replied with a whimper of her own voicing her frustration at having had to wait for so very long when the truth was she had wanted him ever since they had first met.

This time she didn’t have to hide her desire for him because Hsi Wu felt the same way that she did and desired her just as much if not more.

He smiled “I don't mind you being forceful” he teased winking at her before she growled furiously tugging at his pants and boxers pushing them down stepping back to watch as his thick, glorious cock sprang free

He shivered seeing the almost demonic unrestrained lust in her eyes rather surprised and delighted by what she was doing.

Jade growled again and tugged at his shirt pouting a little at how difficult the buttons on his shirt were being “I want your demon form”

“But what about my human form?” he asked with a smirk “don't you like it too?”

“I do, I do...' she whispered finally undoing the buttons on said silk shirt before she paused and smiled shyly “it’s just that I dream of...you doing it with me when you're a demon”

He smiled and nodded “make no mistake though I will do you when I am in human form too Jade” he paused “Tso tells me that in this form” he replied gesturing to his human one “that I look like my mother especially when it comes to my eyes and to my cheekbones”

She nodded smiling at him caressing said cheekbones, “you are very handsome in both forms”

He smiled and looked at her “kiss me Jade, let me taste those gorgeous lips and tongue of yours.”

Jade nodded a second time and did as he commanded, giving him a hard and passionate kiss one that caused him to shiver the two of them moaning into the kiss their tongues meeting even as the pounding of a broom no doubt a signal from one of his neighbors that they were being too late was heard.

He didn't care he wanted Jade here and now, wanted the kiss to continue, wanted her to take him inside of herself so that he could pound away and take her untouched flower for himself.

Finally Jade pulled away from him, gasping for breath looking at him with desire causing the sky demon to smile “bed?” he asked her with a hint of a playful smirk on his face.

Jade whimpered softly and nodded, her hands fumbling across her clothing wanting to be rid of these garments that kept her from revealing herself to the uber cool hunk of a man and demon before her.

He shook his head moving her hands away then after kicking his pants and boxers and his socks and shoes off Hsi smiled taking off her shirt watching as she shivered as he removed her bra.

He shivered desire engulfing him “beautiful” he said teasingly flicking her breasts watching as they bounced a little and she cried out softly and shuddered surrendering to his touch completely.

He purred taking one into his mouth suckling on it until it was firm and erect then he proceeded to the second one and grinned pretending to take his time only she pushed him onto the bed causing him to laugh as she did so.

Unzipping her pants, Jade shoved them down unable to believe just how horny she was at this moment, of course considering how many nights she'd stayed up fingering herself thanks to him it was not a surprise that she was so hot and hungry for him.

And she had no doubt he had spent many nights masturbating and climaxing to images of her not after the way he had been acting as of late.

Smirking Hsi Wu winked at her obviously knowing what she was thinking about or rather who and in response Jade growled at him pretending to be a little irritated by him “smug bastard”

“You ‘mean smug and horny bastard’ don’t you?” he teased smirking at her.

Ignoring him, Jade got her panties and shoes off and stood before him naked practically dripping with her juices desire evident all over her.

He shivered looking up at her “Jade? I want to make love to you”

Jade whimpered softly and nodded her heart filling with joy upon hearing him say that the realization that this to him was not just about sex making her feel even more comfortable with this situation and as she smiled she looked him over and shivered noticing how handsome he looked laying there before her with a throbbing erection.

He smiled glad to have said that but even more happy just being here with the woman of his dreams and that was exactly what Jade was, the woman he dreamt about, the woman whose arms Hsi found solace in

She started to feel nervous now as she looked at him a little afraid. What if she displeased him, what if she wasn’t good enough? What if she was…only ‘average’ when it came to sex?

Would he still want her? Would he still love her as he claimed to?

He smiled reassuringly as she lay down before him then he kissed her tenderly knowing she must have fears that needed to be taken away from her otherwise she would be paralyzed with them.

“Hsi? I...I don’t want to get pregnant...”

“We won't” he said “it takes a lot more for you to get pregnant with me”

She nodded quietly in understanding and sighed deciding to admit to her fear “what if...what if I don’t satisfy you?”

Hsi’s eyes widened a little and he shook his head empathetically knowing he needed to put that nervousness to rest if they were to proceed with the next part of their relationship “Jade? You've done more then satisfy me and now? Now I want more”

Moaning softly as his hand slid between her legs Jade shivered and blushed at him wanting him more then any toy, videogame, soda, candy, or anything else in the world.

Hsi grinned feeling how wet she was as he guided her onto the bed straddling her his now red eyes meeting her own as he took his demon form "you sure you want me in demon form Jade? I'm much bigger in this form then in human form"

Jade blinked and looked down, seeing the truth in his statement.

He was bigger... then she had thought previously, a whole lot bigger then she had estimated and she shivered feeling even more wet and gave out a soft whimper at the thought of him burying himself inside her stretching her to completion making her feel good as he popped her cherry.

“I don't want to hurt you Jade I mean you are very tight” he replied looking at her with concern “I do want you but…I do not want to add to the pain in you’re life not now and not ever again.”

She sighed softly and nodded “I...I don’t know...” she answered truthfully her mind and heart warring as she thought of him leaving and of the pain that would fill her.

Hsi nodded once “so are you sure?” he asked in a very serious tone wanting to leave the decision up to her “if not we can stop right now”

“I really want you...”

“And I want you Jade" he smiled almost wickedly an idea coming to him “but let me prepare you for me”

Jade shivered and nodded eagerly looking up at him wondering what he planned to do next.

Hsi grinned mock evilly slipping his tail inside her causing Jade’s eyes to widened meeting his own as she let out a gasp and a moan “hn...”

He smirked using it to push and stretch her and Jade cried out softly, squirming around both in surprise and because it felt so good his tail being inside her like that.

He purred kissing her ardently thrusting his tail into her several times helping her to accommodate herself for his throbbing erection, pulling out when he thought that she was ready for him his tail wet with her juices as he pulled it out.

He winked licking her delicious tasting essence off of his tail and purred “delicious” he proclaimed “simply and absolutely delicious as always my beautiful Chinese jewel”

She shivered as his cock neared her pussy reminding her of the barrel of a loaded gun getting ready to fire or in this case fill her with hot bullets that were liquid instead of steel.

“All for you Jade” he replied “all for you” he added purring at her “all for you and only you” he repeated doing his best to reassure her wanting to make her feel better about this.

Whimpering softly Jade nodded as he positioned himself over her desire for him growing every second and in the back of her mind she hoped it would always be this way between them.

Placing a tender kiss on her lips Hsi smiled down at her his eyes now a blazing red as he slid a part of himself deep inside her

Gasping Jade arched her back at this intrusion and moaned a little in both pleasure and in pain from said intrusion the head of his cock inside her warmth for what was but a few moments.

“Mine” he growled “my Jewel my Jade all mine!” he replied punctuating this by slipping more of himself inside her pushing as much of himself into her as he could

Gasping Jade gave out another cry, one filled with pain causing him to stop and kiss her reassuringly in an attempt to make her feel better.

He was not kidding Jade thought with a whimper; taking notice of just how big he was as he thrust into her again and again causing her to moan partially in pain from feeling herself being stretched around him almost painfully her eyes starting to water

Upon seeing her in so much pain, Hsi started to pull out feeling bad about hurting her only she turned to face him worried that he would leave her.

“Hn...Hsi please don’t leave me here...” she whimpered looking up at him.

“Don't go” she said, unconsciously clenching around him blinking in surprise having never done that before.

As she did Hsi gasped and moaned in response kissing her “I just...don't want...to see...you in pain Jade” he said meaning it finding himself not at all surprised by the truth in his statement because he knew, Hsi Wu knew that he loved Jade and only wanted to make her happy.

It felt so good her clenching him that way Jade thought whimpering as she looked up at him “please don't leave me” she repeated “I'll die if you do” she added her need for him spiraling out of control.

“I would die if you left me as well” he said nuzzling her “but it hurts here” he said taking one of her hands and placing it on his chest “seeing you hurting so very much”

She whimpered softly, nuzzling him “please put the rest of it back in...I implore you...Hsi, please...”

He nodded and smiled “can never say ‘no’ to you” he replied kissing her again slipping himself inside her “but it will hurt Jade remember that”

Jade nodded and braced herself against the fresh wave of pain that was sure to come praying and hoping that it would not last long.

With a growl Hsi Wu thrust into her until he was again at the maidenhead this time though he pushed himself against it, wanting to break it open, wanting and craving the heat as much as some humans craved coffee or soda though on a different level, Hsi craved Jade’s warmth in a way that was much different then food or beverages.

Jade gasped and gave out a low moan when he finally broke through sliding all the way in while she blinked back her tears the hurt fading away.

He paused then kissed her eyes wanting to tell her that the pain was gone, wanting to let her know that he hadn't left, that he was here inside her because he needed her so very much.

It was surprising that he couldn't find the right words to express those thoughts especially since he normally was very good with words but then most of them were faked and without any truth in them whereas any he wanted to say to Jade were filled with truth.

He wondered if he was learning how to be human for a few moments before he pushed that thought aside and shivered as she clenched again.

“I need you” she said, the tears finally falling as she looked at him so very enamored by him.

“I need you too Jade” he smiled kissing her “I need you so very much, I crave you're heat, you're warmth and you're light”

Jade shivered and nodded, clenching herself a third time and he gasped moaning again enjoying this.

She was so very tight, the tightest he ever had and he found himself wanting more of that tightness wanting to be engulfed and consumed by that tightness wanting for it to surround his cock and keep him inside her always never once letting go of any part of him.

Shivering as he slowly pulled out then pushed back in Jade moaned watching him through lust filled eyes finding herself getting lost in those red orbs of his never wanting to even leave them or his touch.

He growled and smiled “doesn't hurt now does it jewel?”

She blinked and smiled “I like it when you say that”

“Well you are” he replied kissing her “you're beautiful like one and you're very name means dark green gemstone”

Jade nodded and nuzzled him and smiled “It...doesn’t hurt as much...”

He smiled kissing her again savoring her taste as he thrust in and out his smile turning into a smirk “it feels good doesn't it? Having me inside you”

She whimpered and nodded as he went faster growling and hissing as he pushed himself into her accommodating pussy wanting to cum inside her so badly and he meant to do just that before this night was over and once they had climaxed?

Hsi Wu would claim her as his own he would take her to be his mate binding his blood to her own not only so that nothing bad could happen to her but also so that he wouldn't have to worry about being banished this time around.

For who would be heartless enough too banish her? She'd done nothing wrong after all and Chan? If he tried it he would only hurt Jade and Hsi doubted that the man would go to such extremes just to evict him from this planet again.

She started to panic a bit when he became even rougher fear filling her as he growled kissing her fiercely on the lips “mine, my mate, my jewel!”

Jade whimpered softly as he went even harder, slamming his hips against hers his claws keeping her pinned down so she couldn’t escape from his clutches and she gasped moaning and whimpering feeling him shove more of his demonic dick inside her.

It was as if he was trying to bury himself inside her!

The pleasure was mixed with pain as he became even more demonic and ardent his growls and hisses filling the air, ones mixed with her own cries pleasure assailing them both as he snarled his claws nearly shredding the pillows even as she screamed hitting a powerful climax.

Hsi was almost merciless in his thrusts roaring at her as he plunged himself into her deeper and deeper her juices making a natural lubrication allowing him to shove all of himself inside her without causing her the pain he had feared he would cause.

Jade meanwhile knew that she would be sore later, very, very sore she thought in the back of her mind as the sky demon rammed into her mercilessly, grinding his pelvic bone against hers his thrusts so hard and brutal that Jade was unable to even form coherent words now, no all she could do was scream and while she knew she would be sore it felt too good to stop much too good.

His roars and growls filled her ears and only got louder as his thrusts became more brutal and demanding his eyes gleaming bordering the color of blood itself.

He was so very close, so very close to releasing himself into her sweet moist center, so close to attaining his dream having been waiting for this for far too long.

She heard a loud roar, even more inhuman than the others, primal and deep yet even as it left his lips it become a word, but not just any word it become a name.

Her name, her name screamed with so much passion and love it took her breath away as Hsi pounded into her his balls slapping against her hard as they released his seed nearly violently into her.

Jade screamed feeling his seed bathing her insides in a violent torrent her scream becoming more intense as her voice met his own the pleasure blinding hot in its purity.

He roared her name fangs appearing in his mouth and acting on impulse plus thousands of demonic instincts Hsi grabbed her by the neck his fangs finding her flesh even as one taloned hand slashed the other a cut forming as if by magic “drink” he said holding his hand to her mouth “drink and become mine”

Jade screamed in surprise and pain as he tore at her throat, struggling against him as he drank deeply of her blood before

What the hell had she gotten herself into? She tried to scream but could not, not with the blood in her throat and pushed him away, stumbling off the bed, hoping to escape and seek medical help. Surely he had gone mad, ripping open her throat like that, she would surely die...

She felt dizzy and stumbled through the living room, leaving blood on the carpet her vision blurring becoming hazy as more blood left her body both from the wound on her neck and from her now destroyed maidenhead.

Growling Hsi grabbed her “drink!” he commanded directing her to the cut on his wrist “drink Jade before you wind up loosing too much!”

Jade whimpered softly as he pressed the wound to her mouth watching as she sucked on it hard causing him to shiver with arousal.

His blood tasted rich and powerful she thought with a moan as she tried to get him to stop making her drink, scared and confused.

Help...someone help me... she thought frantically her vision starting to clear and she looked into a mirror blinking in surprise seeing blood leaking down her throat onto her chest from the wound on her neck, while even more trickled down her legs…

The leather armies have prevailed
The Phantom Lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising volume metal sound

…Hsi held her as she lapped at the blood the wounds...vanishing?

What had just happened? Had he somehow infected her? Was there something they’d done wrong? Had Barkuda possessed him?

He smirked as she blinked in surprise “I should've explained I well” he blushed suddenly shy wanting to quell whatever nervousness she had “I wanted to mate with you” he added feeling a tad embarrassed due to the fact that she hadn't known and because he had to explain this to her, surely she'd known about demon mating claims right?

Jade whimpered softly, tears sliding down her cheeks as she listened to him speak. She had been so frightened; she had thought she was going to die, with her throat slashed open and all.

He sighed thinking he had hurt her feelings only he blinked as she threw her arms around him and kissed him? Was she? Was she really not frightened by him?

He hoped she wanted to be with him and be his mate.

“I was so scared...' she whispered

“I...I didn't mean to frighten you but Jade?” he smiled shyly “I see you as the person *I* want to mate with, no one else will do, I didn't mean for it to get so violent, but I know that sometimes with some demons the urge gets really strong”

Jade nodded silently inwardly though Jade felt herself blushing realizing she should have known from the start but it wasn't like she could really get her hands on a book about ‘demon mating habits’ after all not with everyone in the shop plus for all she knew uncle didn't even have such a book at all.

Jade said nothing when he pulled her into his lap still confused by the fact that he wanted to mate with her and by what had happened

Her eyes moved to the bloodstains on the carpet and then the blood that had poured down her chest feeling a little scared that he had actually hurt her like that but not as scared as she had been a few moments ago.

He nuzzled her licking the wound on her neck helping to seal it closed “I'll clean it all up Jade, it was only natural after all you didn't know nor did I for that matter heh I was originally going to ask you first but well one thing led to another”

Jade nodded and curled up to him

“Do you want to try again Jade?” there was a definite plea in his voice a plea that drew her face towards his own and she blinked looking up at him.

He hoped she wouldn't run away or anything because quite frankly he didn’t know what he would do or how he would feel if she rejected the claim and left him there alone in the dark.

“You mean the sex...or...this?” she asked softly, pointing to the blood still trickling down her neck.

“Both Jade” he nuzzled her “the wound will heal you see when a demon mates they link themselves with the person they are mating with, my powers and abilities will become yours, you're humanity will strengthen my own, our desires for each other will grow and grow and grow, immortality will be yours to partake of all of it begins first with us taking blood from each other then later on the ritual consummation will begin in my case the sky element would have to be present because you'd be mating with me”

Nodding silently she looked at him wanting to know more about mating “so...what we did...wasn’t mating?”

“It was only the first step, what we did was claim each other though for it to be a real claim you'd have to drink from my neck while we are having sex, the more times we bite the more the claim grows stronger and when we mate, if you want to mate, the claim will intensify you'd be able to feel my presence, even from great distances and the same goes for me, our souls, our chis and our life forces would be bound together in a way that well is similar to human marriage customs”

She nodded again taking it in smirking a little as she saw him blush, grateful that she wasn’t the only one who could get embarrassed and shy at times.

Especially at the prospect of being ‘married’ to him!

Were Jackie around he’d most likely flip.

“We'd become literally two halves of the same coin, it would be us sharing and if you wanted to get pregnant then you could will it as it were, you see for demons too conceive it requires some sense of will and something beyond sex. I don't know all the particulars of mating or claiming Tso does though I'm not in the mind to talk to him right now”

Nodding once Jade gently nuzzled him “thanks...for...telling me Hsi” she smiled “I’m glad you want to mate with me” she added kissing him tenderly

“Do you...do you want to?" he asked hoping she did but not wanting to force her into what was a heavy decision.

Jade nodded again this time somewhat solemnly not to say she wasn’t happy, Hsi Wu wanted her and she if anything had almost given up hope that he would come back to her after his banishment, and when he had returned? Well Jade had also been worried that the sky demon just wanted her body and not her for who she really was.

He blinked and smiled kissing her deeply pushing her back down “ready for more Jade?” he asked half teasingly

“Yes...yes I am” she said smiling up at him shivering with desire wondering if this is how it would always be the two of them going at it so many different times and ways never once being satisfied or sated.

She hoped that that would be the case.

He purred slipping back inside her moaning as he felt her familiar heat "my mate to be, my jewel, my Jade" he said with a smile purring as he began to thrust into her again

Letting out a soft moan Jade shivered with desire, more prepared this time, and she held him close and nuzzled him tenderly letting him know she was ready and that she truly wanted this.

He growled nuzzling her back his wings furling then unfurling with every thrust his tail curling and uncurling those tiny actions making Jade feel even more excited and happy.

She was causing this she was the one Hsi wanted to mate with and that made all the difference in the world to her.

“I need you and want you, my handsome demon of the sky” she replied looking at him with an almost coy smile.

He smiled beaming with pride “I myself hope that you will say that to me a hundred years from now” he said with a wink.

Jade blinked then smiled in surprise looking at him staring at him for few moments studying him feeling her nervousness fade away upon hearing that.

He really wanted her for such a long time?

It seemed to be so unreal she thought smiling at him even more desiring him so very much.

“What about a thousand?” she shot back with a smirk and a giggle.

He smiled “I want you for all eternity jewel”

He grinned and kissed her thrusting into her slowly at first moaning a little smirking at her liking how her mind worked.

“So good...” she whispered with a blush “so…very good…”

“Always good with you” he said moaning his cock slipping into and out of her wet pussy her juices drenching him with each thrust.

He became fierce again before he climaxed but this time she didn’t worry because she knew there wasn't a reason too worry, Hsi only wanted to mate with her, he didn't want to harm her.

And when his fangs went into her throat she was not afraid, no this time though she welcomed them with a moan as she felt herself becoming aroused even more unconsciously clenching around his hard cock gripping it with a vice like grip.

His cool tongue bathed her neck coating the wound in saliva as he thrust into her for several moments holding back on the next climax intending to save it for the moment that Jade took of the blood from his neck.

Since she didn't have fangs his claw would have to do he thought cutting his neck offering it to her and Jade shivered welcoming the taste of his blood, moaning softly as she pressed her lips to his throat

He groaned his cock growing harder as he thrust into her moaning as her moist center became an inferno gripping him so hard that he couldn't hold onto his climax anymore so instead he let go and screamed her name pleasure that was white, hot and nearly blinding overtaking him her womanhood gripping him while her mouth took of his blood her fingers digging into his back due to the force of the explosion coming from him.

It was like a wave that never once stopped but at the same time it wasn't, it was more then a wave.

She felt the mystical properties of his blood not to mention heard his heart beating rapidly in tune with her own, and she whimpered moaning as she felt his seed flood her inner passages filling her up more then she had ever expected but somehow her body took all of it as if knowing not to waste a drop of his cum.

It was mind boggling and electrifying and for a moment a slight pain filled her mouth two of her teeth growing sharper becoming fangs with the more blood she took in

Even after he was spent she continued to clench herself around him so he could not pull out even if he wanted to.

He moaned whimpering in pleasure as she let go of his neck, and he purred nuzzling her "my mate, my jewel" he said kissing the bite mark on her throat.

Jade looked at him a little in an almost feral manner as she studied at him “mine” she growled possessively.

He smirked “you're uncle wouldn't be happy if he heard that” he teased delighting in how demonic she sounded just now even as he took notice of a reddish tinge to her eyes and Hsi found that glow stunningly beautiful taking note that Jade had signaled her desire to mate with him by biting his neck the way she had.

Hsi purred and kissed her “mine” he growled back nuzzling the mark he had left smelling her arousal along with his own and the blood they now shared.

“Yours always” she replied with a tiny and somewhat tired smile.

Purring again he nodded and smiled licking her neck “always and forever more Jewel” he said watching as the red color left her eyes which became that golden honey colored pair he loved so much.

Smiling Jade reached up and began to stroke the prongs on his head feeling so very happy here with him.

He smiled nuzzling her “my mate to be” he stated happily looking at her as if she was the only thing that mattered and the truth of it was Jade was the thing that really mattered to him he reminded himself shivering as she wrapped her legs around his middle to keep him inside of her.

Smiling even more he nuzzled her and purred enjoying the time they had together wishing they could stay like this forever wishing that Barkuda was not free and that all was right with the world.

Jade meanwhile found herself wishing that she (like Hsi Wu) could stay like this forever and she shivered as his tail wrapped around her middle to prevent her from escaping not that he needed to of course although she rather liked his tail wrapped around her backside in such a protective and somewhat provocative manner.

He purred nuzzling her and smiled “you exceeded my wildest expectations jewel you honestly did.”

“I...I did?” she blinked looking at him in surprise since she was a virgin or had been, confused wondering how the hell she could be good as good as someone with experience?

He nodded “you blew them all away I kid you not.”

Jade blushed and looked away shyly “tha…n…k…thank you” she stammered knowing her face was almost a bright red now in color and for some odd reason she felt compelled to hide herself from him but at the same time she did not she simply instead basked in the afterglow with him.

He smiled kissing her before there was a knock at the door and Jade blinked looking up at him in surprise.

“Jade?” came the remembered voice of her uncle and Hsi half growled a little “Hsi Wu?”

“Yes Chan?” Hsi stated curtly feeling anger bubble up inside him as he remembered how Chan's uncle that blasted wizard had brought up things he tried not to think about

“Umm is Jade with you? We are worried for her safety” Jackie replied inwardly hoping that Jade was not with a creature who was most untrustworthy in the least.

“Tell him no” Jade whispered not wanting to get into another debate with her uncle and also fearing for Hsi’s personal safety since she knew that Jackie didn’t like the fact that Jade liked the sky demon and not just as a friend either.

He paused about to do just that before Chan sighed in what sounded like a voice tinged with regret why was of course beyond the two lovers or would have been before they heard him speak “and I wish to apologize as well”

Jade sighed softly “I don’t want to see him right now” she replied not wanting to deal with her insane family members and their odd behavior especially since she knew he would argue with her over her choice in a boyfriend, let alone her choice in a mate.

He nodded deep in thought “though it might be best if we did see him” he stated “it would be better then trying to hide something I do not want to do”

“Hn, I don’t want to get out of bed...” she pouted “and Jackie will freak if he sees all the blood on the living room carpet'

He winked closing his eyes willing the carpet to vanish replacing it with a newer one smirking at her as she blinked in surprise.

“That is so cool” she whispered “but I still don’t want to see him right now.” She looked at him pleadingly “Can’t I just hide?”

He nodded kissing her “you can hide in the bathroom I suppose, but to be on the safe side I will talk with him and try to get him to leave without trouble”

“Thanks” she muttered grateful that he would help her out in a jam, then turned and headed to the bathroom to hide from said annoying and overbearing uncle.

Hsi blew her a kiss before he got dressed and hid Jade's clothes then opened the door “Chan” he replied guardedly not letting the man inside his room. “Don’t come in” he added with a hint of venom as he looked at one of the two men who had insulted him and his dead mother earlier this day.

“Hsi Wu.” Jackie replied somewhat stiffly eyeing the demon somewhat warily not at all liking how close he and Jade were these days.

“I don't know what the hell you're problem is Chan, I've not done anything wrong all I wanted was to be free is that so hard to understand? And for you and that that old windbag to even suggest the things you both suggested well? I see no reason to go back if he and you keep it up like I’m planning to conquer the world or something.”

Jackie blinked and sighed “we're sorry, uncle was just under a lot of stress and it isn’t like you are trust-”

Hsi snarled and cut him off “you know I can barely remember her and for you both to say that while a psychopath is running around is out of line"

“I'm sorry” Jackie repeated sounding very lame “I did not know, none of us knew.”

“As for Jade, well I can't speak for her but I like her Chan and the way you kept glaring at me and shunning me and acting so hostile was very immature, what you think I'm going to seduce her and take her away from her family?”

Well...that HAD been what Jackie was thinking after all it was no secret that Jade had a crush on the sky demon or that Hsi Wu had been looking at her watching her with lust in his eyes but all the same Jackie swallowed his accusations knowing they wouldn’t get him anywhere.

“You hurt her before, so why not now or sometime soon when it suits you’re best interests?” Jackie asked warily eyeing the demon.

“Because I don't want to hurt her not now not ever again, she's beautiful intelligent, and when she smiles, she can turn night into day” he replied causing Jackie to step back and frown the realization that the sky demon had more then just feelings of lust for his niece hitting him causing him to feel worried and concerned for her safety.

He most certainly did not want Hsi Wu to woo Jade, but at the same time he was surprised at the sky demon's comment and wanted to figure a way out without getting her involved in this quarrel he was having with the monster from the sky.

Hsi Wu growled noticing the way Chan was looking at him and decided to come clean albeit in such a way that deconstructed Chan’s beliefs concerning demons “what? A demon can't love? Hmmm let me think ohh I know I love my mother and I love my siblings, must be something wrong there with that theory”

“Only because you are half human” Jackie replied “the demon half can not love because demons are evil and only desire to hurt other beings through whatever means necessary they all exist for their own pleasure and amusement”

Hsi growled “my family loves me regardless of the abuse they put me through Chan, I know they do”

“Whatever you say” Jackie said skeptically frowning as he looked around “where is Jade?”

“Why would I know?" he asked just as skeptically “I'm just an evil demon one whose word you can never believe correct?” he noticed with satisfaction that Chan looked uncomfortable and decided to press on by taking his human form “unlike my brother Xiao this form is as real as my other form right down to the eyes which I was told are (along with my cheekbones) the spitting image of my mother who happened to be a friend to my half siblings in fact Tso would tell me stories about her, tell me is that normal for a demon to do if he's just evil?”

“I...uh...” Jackie looked down feeling very intimidated as he backed away from the sky demon moving towards the railing on the stairs until he had brushed against it.

He smirked seeing a flash of doubt “didn't think so ohh and Tso did he'd tell me how brave she was, tell me how she would use to hold and care for me how she called me her little angel of hope my ohh my you don't look so good, could it be you were wrong?” he asked with a growl “I wonder why”

“And to top it off the flute that that bitch immortal used was the same flute that Xiao’s wife used to sing me to sleep at night making it by hand” he growled “only that she-bitch perverted it into a weapon where before it was a thing of beauty”

Jackie blinked and stared at him obviously surprised having not known about that which the sky demon was counting on after all a little more guilt and misery would be very nice right now especially since he was tired of Chan’s arrogant anti-demon attitude.

“Didn't know Xiao had a wife did you Chan? Or that the immortal who stole his kingdom away tried to rape her huh? Or how he killed little cats she created out of metal calling them a perversion” he took a step forward watching as Chan tried to move but now cornered and trapped.

“Please calm down” Jackie said with a touch of nervousness as he looked at Hsi Wu worried about what could happen should the demon decide to fight him.

He wasn’t as strong as the sky demon was and Jackie knew it.

“Why? So you can start in on me again with you’re sanctimonious humans are good whereas all demons are evil crap? Hmmm how about no?” he growled thousands of dark thoughts filling his mind as he looked at the smaller human growling angrily his tail lashing back and forth.

Chan was alone, Hsi could grab and then toss him out a window, nobody would notice or care around here except Jade and he could tell her that the man had left, really how would she find out anyways?

‘Yes’ hissed a dark voice in the back of his mind ‘take him now he is defenseless, toss him out the window, show him how powerful you are.’

Chan blinked as the Sky Demon growled and advanced towards him his eyes filled with dark rage and with a bloodlust that was close to boiling out of control, blinked and tried to get away only the sky demon would not let him move to the right or to the left having cut him off from all escape routes.

‘Give in to you're anger’...the voice continued sly and filled with darkness a darkness he’d seen before a darkness he’d felt…before.

It was all consuming, like a fire made of hate and malice, filled with deception and ruthlessness not to mention powerful and seductive.

Much like Barkuda's darkness he thought before he stiffened feeling more of that slyness his eyes narrowing as recognition filled him.

‘Go on, do it, before he takes Jade from you, she will never know’ the voice added slyly only he growled.

‘No’ He growled ‘I am not playing you’re game anymore you sadist!’ He backed away from Chan shaken trying to quell the rage within his spirit.

‘It is unavoidable Hsi Wu you like you're mother will be...mine’ came the dark and evil voice of Barkuda and for a moment Hsi thought he saw the demon lord in human form grinning a death’s head grin as he stared at Hsi with those dark all seeing all consuming eyes of his

‘NO!’ Hsi pushed the darkness away wanting nothing to do with it at all. ‘I won’t be you’re pawn anymore you sick bastard!’

A sigh then a growl ‘then I will have to take charge myself’ came the reply and Hsi hissed feeling that oily touch take hold much the way a puppet master took control of a puppet

‘Stop!' he screamed feeling that touch, a revolting touch similar to the touch of a spider filling him and he struggled against the blackness that came for him, a blackness that threatened to swallow, engulf and pull him into it until there was nothing left of the demon Jade loved.

‘Jade…’ he moaned inwardly trying to use her memory to push back the dark hold Barkuda was exhibiting even now.

‘Too little too late Hsi Wu, I'm back and there's nothing you and you're girlfriend can do about it' came the reply as the dark lord made Hsi’s body step towards Chan ‘let’s see what happens when Jade watches as you kill her uncle’

‘NO!’ Hsi snarled ‘Jade would never believe I would do something like that!’

‘How foolish of you to say that, I am in the driver’s seat as it were and her seeing this will prove you did it after all she’s only ‘human’ and all humans are stupid’

He struggled trying to figure someway out eyes flashing between darkness and between fears both real and unreal as he fought with the blackness that was in charge fought only to find himself feeling as he had lost the battle before it had begun and for a moment Hsi wilted feeling so very lost so very alone with the darkness that he knew Jade would never care for a darkness that poisoned everything good inside a person, poisoned and smothered it in the end killing it with ruthless savagery.

He was going to loose her and all because of the sick monster who had taken over in just a matter of seconds, taken and spread like a computer virus growing ever so quietly as it attached itself to various components.

It was in that moment that hope flared and he watched as Chan ducked out of the way grabbing a light which he held up causing pain to fill Hsi’s body thus giving away who was really in control.

Jackie thinking quickly continued holding the light using it to force the demon back all the while speaking a small incantation the light flaring suddenly appearing all around Hsi the pain growing and intensifying a thousand fold causing the monster who had jacked his body to roar before fleeing the very body he had attempted to take over becoming smoke the instant he was free from the body wisps emerging from Hsi Wu's mouth, nose, eyes and ears the black inky smoke hissing like an enraged snake or insect that had been forced from it’s nest.

The smoke growled at Chan as Hsi Wu fell to the ground unconscious or dead Jackie could not tell “you only delay the inevitable Chan come nightfall I will be back for him” Barkuda stated confidentially to which the archeologist replied by holding that light up using it to force the demon back as if he were a vampire caught in the holy glare of a crucifix.

He resembled a cloud now, with two black solid eyes looking at Chan glaring at him with a dark anger enraged because the human had bested him albeit it was only for a little while, next time he would return in his own body and then he would kill Chan or make him wish he had killed him.

Either prospect filled him with delicious malice and the demon lord chuckled cruelly floating before Jackie Chan who stepped back as if to shield himself from the dark creature who had revealed himself still holding that light keeping Barkuda at bay “ooo Jaaaaade? Guess whose baaaaaaack” Barkuda called a third eye appearing motioning towards the bathroom in Hsi Wu’s room.

Jackie's eyes widened at first in confusion then they narrowed in the realization that Hsi Wu had lied again!

The cloud chuckled watching as Chan processed this “guess what he and you're niece were doing Chan?” he asked goading the archeologist savoring the disgust and anger seeping from Jackie Chan, enjoying the aroma much like any cookie-fiend enjoyed the aroma of cookies cooling on a window sill.

Chan could only gape at the shadow, gape and try to get the images in his mind out feeling confused even as he tried to push back the anger knowing he needed a cool head about him if he and Jade and yes even the sky demon Hsi Wu were to survive.

Surely the shadow had to be lying...he thought and prayed in the back of his mind; surely Jade wouldn’t engage in something with that that demon!

“Go on ask her” Barkuda chuckled and vanished planning to return in his own body and drain Chan of that delicious anger he held within him.

Jackie stepped over Hsi Wu and looked in the living room and bedroom scanning the large apartment unable to find any trace of Jade in this place about to breathe a sigh of relief before he saw…

…Jade’s clothes hidden behind the bed, clothes...but no Jade in them or anywhere around them and for a moment Jackie started to see red again but only for a moment as he pushed the red back.

What the hell had Hsi Wu done? He thought glaring at aforementioned sky demon that was still out like a light while he inwardly went back over the demon lord's statement and groaned seeing truth when he didn’t want to see it.

Surely Jade hadn't, with the sky demon?

“Jade!” he called out looking all around for his niece hoping against all hope that Barkuda had been lying about where Jade had been staying and what she had been doing.

Inside the bathroom Jade sighed hearing her name and grabbed a towel unlocking the bathroom door about to say something other then the truth to her uncle before she saw Hsi Wu laying on the ground…unconscious.

“Hsi Wu!” she screamed, running to his side ignoring her uncle as she knelt beside the fallen demon “HSI WU!!” she screamed again tears filling her honey colored eyes along with fear inwardly she wondered if Jackie and Uncle had done something to the sky demon or if Barkuda had come back to torment him.

“Jade” Jackie gaped, seeing her in the towel trying to avert his eyes as best he could realizing she was not wearing anything underneath her clothes.

“Not now Jackie” she replied trying to wake Hsi up only Jackie grabbed her arm not letting her go.

“Yes now!” Chan replied affixing a stern look on his face “we need to get out of here now!”

“No we are not" she glared at him “Hsi Wu did nothing wrong and I am not going to leave him”

“Jade? Get up!” Jackie pleaded “we have to get out of here!”

“I am not leaving him” she replied defiantly “I love him and want to be with him”

“Bwaa!” Jackie screamed, jumping back “have you lost you’re mind letting him rape you? Jade what were you thinking?” Jackie demanded shaking her repeatedly

“He did not rape me” Jade replied getting pissed off at her uncle for even thinking that Hsi, her Hsi Wu would do something like that especially to her! “I wanted it" she replied stressing the use of the word ‘I’ “and I let him claim me just as I claimed him”

“Buh-What! How! Why!” her uncle asked in that hysterical fashion that he was known to have and use whenever he was well…hysterical. “We must go back so Uncle can undo this!” Jackie cried, and had he been C3PO from the Star Wars movies, Jade was very sure Jackie would be waving his arms and screaming wildly and out of control.

“There will be no undoing” she replied evenly "I wanted it Jackie just as much as I wanted him"

“How could you!” Jackie sputtered doing a rather fine impression of a motorboat she thought as she held back a giggle “With a demon!!!”

“A demon whose also half human and is the sweetest person around, a demon who came back to be with me” she sighed “unlike certain other people who always say things like ‘you are too young Jade’, or ‘you're too headstrong’ or how about ‘Jaaaaade’ in a patronizing and aggravating tone? Hsi Wu treats me like an adult and not a child. He listens to me and likes me for me something you uncle and my parents don't seem to want to do.”

Jackie was about to say something but found that he didn’t have a good response to Jade’s comments and because he was more then a little surprised by having never heard things like this before.

“And he also knows how to make me feel good about myself” she added sighing “do you know why I like being here with you and uncle? It's because I don't have to worry about going home to parents who constantly berate you or try to fix you up with someone you don't even like”

“I...” Jackie sighed having never known that either.

“Or how about having to listen as they tell me how bad an influence you are or force me to get some job I don't want not even satisfied with my grades”

He sighed again and nodded knowing how overbearing her parents could be at times “I’m sorry Jade, really I am.“

She sighed feeling sick just wanting a hug from her uncle “what happened?” she asked hoping Hsi was okay.

“Apparently...Barkuda possessed Hsi and tried to...make him kill me”

“Then he wasn't going to kill you of his own free will” she replied with a hopeful smile “tch knew he wouldn’t do it no matter what”

Jackie looked away inwardly replaying the events before Barkuda had taken control of Hsi Wu before he nodded still not really liking what Jade had said but knowing she was right “yes, I suppose he wouldn’t have done so even when I did get him angry”

She smiled “I could've told you that, Hsi would soooo not do that of his own free will because he knows I'd be sad”

“Let's go” Jackie said quickly not wanting to agree with Jade anymore then he had to unsure if he could take anymore of the new developments in his life especially the ones concerning his niece!

“We are not leaving him" she said defiantly and a little warily refusing to move.

“We have to go” he insisted “Barkuda will be back at any moment and the shop is the only place safe enough for us to be!”

“Barkuda wants him Jackie, and that should be reason enough for us to help him not to mention that if he isn't helped I will not leave no matter what you try!”

“Jade, stop acting like this, this is crazy and you are crazy! We need to leave right now!” he stated wanting to find a way to undo the spell Jade was obviously under.

She crossed her arms over her shoulder “like what?” she demanded “like a child? Hmmm if I were in trouble you'd come and not leave me here so either you would be acting childish or you're mad because I like him and slept with him and want to mate with him”

Jackie's eyes widened and he turned a lovely shade of purple upon hearing that “you?!”

“Yes! Me! And I initiated it uncle Jackie, all of it!” she added looking at him never wavering in her response.

“Initiated???” Jackie screamed feeling rather sick not to mention confused and as if he would faint soon.

Things that went hand in hand with his niece once too often he realized.

She nodded her head then smirked “back in the shop rubbing my foot up against his-“

“Stop!” her uncle commanded his face now really purple the thoughts of his sweet innocent niece actually instigating things sexually more then he could bear.

“Then help me carry him back to the shop where it's safe!” she demanded glaring at him angrily.

Jackie stared at the Sky Demon dubiously unable to help but feel confused and weirded out not to mention surprised by Jade's comments

“Come on.” Jade insisted “besides Barkuda wants him for something and that’s got to be a bad thing, a very bad thing and if we leave him here we will have only helped make matters worse!” she added logically

Jackie nodded hesitantly and sighed “yes that wouldn’t be a good idea” he thought wondering if he could get uncle to rebanish the sky demon back to the void.

“Just give me a minute to get dressed and NO banishing spells!” she replied glaring at him making him nod and sigh as he picked up Hsi Wu turning so that he couldn't see Jade get dressed.

Surprisingly Jade was quick and helped him carry the sky demon down to the black SUV they had gotten as a gift from Section Thirteen.

As they left the sun was beginning to set and Jackie looked worried “Jade? You two did use umm” he blushed beet red.

“It's alright.” Jade whispered trying not to laugh “You don’t have to worry about little demons running around” she added with a smirk. “At least for now” she teased.

Jackie sighed not wanting to go down that road “so you and Hsi Wu?” he asked in a tone filled with some disbelief.

“Yeah” she replied looking at her uncle “it's not as if I don't know him, I do and I do feel for him. His family does hurt him and he had no friends until he met me”

Sighing again this time more softly the archeologist shook his head wishing for the bliss that denial brought him unsure how to handle something like this.

“And it's more then lust and hormones I know that much when he came back and apologized waiting for when I was ready” she added noticing him gripping the driver’s door a bit too hard the sun continuing to set.

“We will talk more about this later” he said as he helped Jade hoist the Sky Demon into the car.

She nodded getting in sighing as he started the car knowing what was to follow soon enough “I know you are mad Jackie but this is my choice, I do want to be with him”

Jackie said nothing, putting the keys in the ignition, and when the large vehicle roared to life they drove off him wanting to get them to the shop where it was safe from the demon lord who had promised to return.

She rolled her eyes cradling Hsi Wu's head in her lap sighing a little put off with her uncle for being so set in his ways he could not even see that Hsi was the best thing in her life right now!

The Sky demon came to and whimpered softly looking around in confusion before he felt a warm hand caress his head and Jade smiled looking down at him in a tender manner “hey batboy” she teased

He mock groaned and smiled back “my head hurts, what happened?”

Jade sighed and Jackie told him what had happened leaving a few things out, specifically the things concerning his niece!

Hsi winced noticing that there was tension between the two Chans and took human form “I'm glad I didn't listen to him when he told me to kill you're uncle”

Jade nodded and stroked his hair smiling at him “I am too” she replied “but then I knew you wouldn’t”

“So where are we going?” he asked quietly as they kept driving.

“Back to the shop” she replied and he nodded not saying a word as he sat up then pulled Jade into his arms and held her close “you okay?”

Jade nodded nuzzling him tenderly causing Jackie to groan inwardly when he saw what was going on via the rearview mirror and while there wasn’t anything really wrong about what the two of them were doing he did not in anyway shape or form like it one bit.

“DO you have to be so close like that?” he chided trying not to sound irritated or bothered by what was going on.

“What's wrong with it?” the sky demon asked with a confused look on his face “I’ve done nothing untoward Chan at least not in the car” he replied with a smirk deciding to settle for irritating Chan.

“Yeah” Jade chimed in “and it's not like we're going to do anything in the car!” She added causing her uncle to blush again as he tried not to think bad thoughts about his innocent sweet niece!

It was…unthinkable! Jade should have known better then to befriend that that dishonest creature not to mention become involved with him and let him do ‘untoward’ things to her as well things she had also engaged in of her own free will!

Hsi blinked guessing Jade had told Chan about them and he smiled kissing her “thank you” he said suddenly very quiet also surprised because Jade wasn’t ashamed by him not to mention happy as well “you know for well telling him” he replied shyly.

Jade smiled and nuzzled him continuing to stroke his hair delighting in how soft Hsi's hair was unable to stop stroking it.

Jackie meanwhile felt as if he had somehow stepped into the twilight zone where black was white and where everything did not make sense and had not since Hsi Wu had come back into their lives!

With a sigh he drove down towards the shop wondering what he’d done wrong as a parent and as a guardian.

He’d tried to help Jade not stray from the straight and narrow he really had but now? Now he wasn’t sure if he hadn’t done something wrong to deserve something like this.

As the SUV rolled to a stop outside the shop he sighed once more and directed Jade and Hsi Wu to get inside the shop before he also entered, walked over to uncle and sighed again speaking to the chi wizard in low hushed tones.

It only took a few moments before the customary ‘AIYAAAAAAH!!!!’ was heard and His smirked upon hearing Uncle’s cry whereas Jade sighed knowing what was to proceed next.

Uncle twacked Jackie hard looking back at Hsi and at Jade with what was comical surprise and a little tinge of anger “you not good influence on Jade!”

“Me?” Jackie yelped looking at Uncle in surprise “I had nothing to do with it!” he protested looking surprised despite having been twacked more then once upon many occasions.

“You! Uncle knows better!” came the angry reply from the chi wizard who glared at him before hurriedly heading for books on how to reverse claim rituals only Jade and Hsi got to them first and grabbed the books refusing to let them go.

Jade sighed and rolled her eyes “the first person to try and remove the claim winds up with a knuckle sandwich” she warned glaring at her uncles and at Tohru her eyes flashing darkly almost bordering on red as she eyed them all warily.

Hsi laughed delighting in the dominant side of Jade and in how stubborn she was.

“Such a fierce and beautiful woman, she is indeed the perfect mate” he stated with a laugh.

Upon hearing that both Jackie and Uncle both glared at him whereas Jade blushed and smiled at him.

He simply grinned at them as if he was innocent totally liking the fact that they couldn't banish him due to the fact that they would wind up banishing Jade who was even now somewhat linked in a bond that would grow stronger with each coupling.

Despite the fact that he wasn't causing any trouble he was still not a good guy! He added still holding onto the books that spoke of rescinding a claim even as he reached out to stroke Jade's hair.

She smiled looking at her sky demon and winked at him pressing against him in a subtle way deciding to tease him a little bit as payment for his being so insufferable at times and because well she liked teasing him!

Oddly enough she didn’t care either, not anymore especially now after her first two tastes of him no now she wanted more.

He shivered and held back a growl not wanting to get into trouble with Chan or the chi wizard who were there watching him warily as if he had once more done something else wrong!

And it wasn't even his fault! Jade was the one who was causing it not him! He wanted to say inwardly hissing as she pressed again practically grinding herself against him causing him to nearly let out a moan.

‘Behave!’ he said mentally, hoping that it would work and that Jade would stop before he lost control and the two of them threw down in front of her family which would of course be a very bad thing on both his and Jade’s parts since they would almost surely wind up in trouble.

Jade winked and shook her head flashing him a lust full smile when the others were not looking at them “tch as if!” she whispered to him

‘Behave and I will ravish you properly later on’ he ordered telepathically smirking as he watcher blink in surprise before she got it.

“That is so… cool!” she exclaimed out loud only to eep as everyone else blinked looking at them both in surprise.

“What's cool?” Jackie asked wearily but this time Jade said nothing deciding it was better to not let them know about her link with Hsi.

Jackie narrowed his eyes eyeing them both suspiciously and Jade shrugged grinning at him innocently not saying one word.

“Jade we need to find a way to undo-“

*DING*

“You can’t undo it” she said wishing she had been saved by the bell.

Jackie affixed her with a glare before a tall man with black hair entered wearing glasses over his eyes dressed in a black businessman suit “I'm looking for a few vases” he stated in an almost imperial tone “I am prepared to pay handsomely for them as well”

Jade stiffened upon seeing the man a chill suddenly going up her spine as she heard him speak.

There was something about him, something that she couldn’t quite put her finger on, something that made her very skin crawl and not in the way that it normally crawled whenever she was doing something she didn’t want to do no this was more of a sickly sinister feeling only she couldn’t figure out why and settled instead for watching the man out of the corner of her eye with suspicion as her uncle went to help the man with what he was looking for.

Uncle turned about to say something to the man whose calm and pleasant smile began to take a more malicious edge as he shook Jackie's hand “my, my, you are quite strong” he smirked then threw him back into Tohru “but not as strong as me nor as powerful isn’t that right Hsi Wu?”

As Barkuda stepped in removing the dark sunglasses he wore to reveal two blood red eyes the sky demon’s blood turned to ice hearing the chilled venom in Barkuda’s voice.

The demon smiled a death head’s smile as he looked at Hsi Wu and at Jade “it’s so good to be back out” he added walking towards them both…

Hear the cry of War
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord

…With an ‘Aiyaaaaah!’ Uncle attacked with his blowfish only Barkuda was ready holding his hand in front of the beam he absorbed it then sneered “insignificant mortal you're spells will not harm me” he turned backhanding Tohru viciously in the stomach hard sending the poor sumo flying across the room even as he took a step towards Uncle “I am the master of darkness and when I decide to do something I get around to doing it no matter what”

Sneering Uncle fired another blast but as the demon in human form absorbed it he grinned then blasted uncle with black lightning causing the old chi wizard to scream.

Hsi Wu did not move rooted to the floor trembling in fear as he stared into the face of evil, stared and kept trembling unable to move wanting to hide but held in place as if by some powerful magnetic force.

Barkuda smiled at him those eyes of his gleaming evilly as he took a step forward only to pause avoiding a flying leap kick by Jackie who flew towards him landing with a crash on the ground before him.

Laughing the demon lord grabbed the archeologist by the neck then threw him into a wall and laughed “foolish mortal you’re little show cannot harm me” he stated before he turned seeing Jade standing in his way “ahhh the girlfriend do be so kind as to let me pass so that I may kill Leng Hung Chao's bastard son”

“No.” Jade whispered defiantly glaring at the monster before her not moving at all “I won’t let you have him!”

He sneered at her “as if you can do anything to stop me dear child” he replied attempting to move past her waving her off in dismissal.

But Jade would not just stand by idly and even when he started to move she stood in his path using a light spell to deter him vowing to do something and not just stand there and let Barkuda hurt Hsi.

He hissed smoke leaving his chest his irritation turning to amusement as Hsi woke up from the trance he had been in then fled the shop “looks like the rat has left his cage” he said with a chuckle.

Jade's eyes widened in horror before she turned seeing that Barkuda was also gone and she gasped in realization and took off after him hoping to get to Hsi Wu in time hoping to somehow fight the demon that was causing so much suffering to her family and to the man she loved…

…He'd almost made it to the air before the tendrils caught him and began to squeeze the very breath in his body tightening around him suffocating him as a laugh, a cold, cruel and evil laugh filled the air from behind the sky demon “where do you think you are going boy?”

“Away from you!” Hsi Wu cried trying to take to the sky only for more tendrils to shoot out and wrap around his right leg yanking hard causing the sky demon to scream in pain as he slammed into the ground hard the wind being knocked out of him by his rough landing.

Barkuda laughed the tendrils pulling Hsi towards him “young fool you can never ever escape me” he replied laughing as the sky demon screamed and beat his wings, struggling against the bonds that enveloped much of his body crushing it as if they sought a way to crush the very life from him!

Laughing the demon lord sneered tightening the grip of his tendrils “you like you're siblings are mine to destroy Hsi Wu whenever I tire of you, just like you’re mother was.”

He shook his head frantically in denial not wanting to listen to this creature not wanting to be anywhere near him or listen to his sick and twisted schemes or hear him curse his mother’s name.

Barkuda sneered at him then backhanded him hard “deny it all you want Hsi Wu but we both know that I am the reason you are here and that means in every sense of the word”

Hsi snarled glaring at him now with defiance “my mother is the reason I am here”

Barkuda sighed and backhanded him again irritated with the boy who had somehow grown a spine in a matter of seconds, a spine that he felt inclined to crush here and now “but who got her to conceive you hmmm?”

Hsi refused to reply begging his dead mother for strength not wanting to listen to the lies, half truths and boasts that were coming from this sadistic demon whose very deeds terrified Hsi more then he cared to admit.

“Who spawned you and the rest of those insignificant delinquents hmmm?” Again that cruel and awful question that he and the other demons hated to think about, and once more he was rewarded with another backhand but Hsi would not give in and he remained silent looking away determined not to give Barkuda the satisfaction he craved.

“You're weak boy like you're mother” another blow this one harder then the last this one breaking Hsi’s nose “weak and useless and when I am done with you I will go after you're siblings and let my generals take turns with you're sister”

“Leave her alone! She's suffered enough!” Hsi snarled finding his voice glaring at Barkuda defiantly daring him silently to turn his sick, twisted and utterly depraved cravings towards Bai Tsa.

“And after her? I will take you're mate and pass her around to my generals” Barkuda added undeterred by Hsi’s defiant stance delighting in the anger growing within the sky demon.

Hsi recoiled as much as he could, simply horrified at the thought of Jade being used and then discarded like that much the same way that Barkuda and his generals had done to Bai and others in the past.

Barkuda laughed watching as Hsi struggled against the tendrils created by this depraved sadistic monster the sky demon inwardly vowing to never let Barkuda get his sick and twisted hands on her or onto Bai or anyone else for that matter.

Jade did not deserve any of that, nor did Bai or anyone on the earth for that matter.

Barkuda laughed and laughed backhanding Hsi repeatedly “come on boy! Where's that spark of defiance you get from you're bitch mother hmmm?”

“You know? I had fun making Dai Gui the way he is now autistic and everything, the nightmares I sent him as he slept plus the beatings and the stories I would tell were only a few of the things, as was letting Kylin violate him, but the real crowning achievement was when I let him and Bai watch as their mother was burned alive in hot boiling lava crying and begging for mercy”

All the color and defiance melted away from Hsi who stared at Barkuda having never known that Barkuda had played such a hand in his brother’s sad and heart rending condition, inwardly feeling sickened vomiting onto the demon’s tendrils.

Barkuda cackled with sadistic glee “and then there was you're bitch of a mother, when I swept through her parents' kingdom I killed the man she was betrothed too, and when she and her siblings tried to escape I killed her family ripping into her parents like they were paper and then, then I took her” the demon lord stated looking at the young one enjoying his pain and fear and anger savoring all of them, drinking deeply of them, engorging himself on those things.

Hsi tried to shut Barkuda's voice out, tried to shut out that cruel sadistic laugh, tried so hard to not think about his mother, his sweet innocent mother as she was violated and abused by this sick and twisted monster and his generals.

But Barkuda wouldn't have any of it “and then you came another blot of imperfection caused by a weak parent like you're mother” he backhanded him again “instead of an heir a true heir I got another freak”

“What the hell would you want an heir for?” Hsi snarled glaring at him with defiance “you don’t care for family and you never have and never will!” he added knowing that Barkuda had destroyed his own parents then fed on them as if they were nothing more then another meal to him.

“My reasons are my own...my dear pitiful half breed bastard child”

Hsi Wu snarled “you were never my parent Barkuda”

Another backhand “do you forget to whom you speak? Hsi Wu? I…am you're father and nothing you say or do will change that” the demon lord replied looking at Hsi Wu enjoying how sickened the sky demon felt upon hearing that revelation stated again.

A gasp and Barkuda turned smirking as Hsi caught sight of...

Jade Chan...

“Looks like it's time for me to go but I'll be back...son” he sneered laughing as he vanished into the darkness the tendrils vanishing behind him while his last words echoed over and over in Jade's mind.

Hsi Wu was...Barkuda's son?

“Hsi Wu?” Jade whispered silently wishing that it was not so, unable to see how such a loving and good man could be the son of a demon who was evil and rotten to the very core.

He looked at her tears in his eyes then took to the air doing the one thing that really came natural to him.

He fled unable to face the disgust he knew had to be in Jade's eyes, leaving her there his wings flapping as he left his soul filled with agony the demon’s words and laugh replaying over and over in his mind tears falling freely as he left.

Jade stared up at the specter in the sky and cried her legs giving out…

Fall to your knees
And bow to the Phantom Lord
