[IC] Black Butler: Curse of the Zodiac

[MegaraFoxfire]

After he left Bane looked at his partner and said "Don't lose your control boss...we don't need you showing yourself" Maggie nodded and said "I won't...you better get going too. I will see you in the morning" Bane nodded and his image faded. Maggie sat down and closed her eyes, not liking how things were going one bit. Soon she was out cold in the chair.

Hitori moved back and smiled weakly. "Right...me relaxing...how long have you known me. But I'll go with you to make sure you don't drink yourself to death" He turned to head to the kitchen, then stumbled and nearly fell over.

[Luna]

Sebastian sensed them coming just as he finished it and left the cup with a note on it before going back out the door closing it silently. He went to a tree and sat on the high branch where he couldnt be seen but he could see the house. Shigure helped him and led him the rest of the way. "Hakito look" he pointed to the cup and note.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Hitori walked over and picked up the note and read it through. "Seems like that Sebastain really is a butler..." He handed the note to Shigure and leaned against the counter, the cig still in his mouth unlit.

[Luna]

The note read. 'I can see that you are stressed and very tired I made you this to help you sleep'. Shigure nodded. "Yes he is but when the heck did he come back though is the question.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Hitori shook his head as he opened the drawer and found a lighter and finally lit his cig. "No clue...I have a feeling he is more then what he seems..." He sighed and said "I'm guessing the tea is for me..."

[Luna]

"Yes it is" he handed it to him. "Me too I mean he acts human hometimes but even when he does it doesnt seem human enough" he said

[MegaraFoxfire]

He sighed and took the cig out and drank the tea down, then put the cig back in his mouth. "This may have to do with the curse..." He blinked hard, already feeling the affects thanks to him drinking it all at once.

[Luna]

Shigure nodded. "Maybe...." he said to himself as he watched him. "You ok Hakito" he asked concerned when he saw him swaying against the counter after drinking the tea

[MegaraFoxfire]

Hitori looked at him and siad "I might have drank that...a little bit fast..." The cig fell from his mouth and he fell to the side, his eyes closing.

Bane found the main house and sat down outside the front gate. "Well, guess this is good as spot as any..."

[Luna]

Shigure caught him before he hit the floor and helped him to his bedroom laying him down. He covered him sighing before getting into bed next to him falling asleep.

Ciel woke up in the middle of the night and walked out of his chambers to the desk and leaned over the edge watching the passing ocean

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane started walking around the grounds outside the gates, starting to take note of weak points and ways in. It would help his partner to know this and it gave him something to do.

Maggie shot up, breathing hard as the dream she had faded. She cursed, rubbing her face and saying "this is getting out of hand...' She got up and went out onto the deck, not seeing ciel a few yards down the deck as she leaned against the railing, closing her eyes and letting the sea spray hit her face

[Luna]

Sebastian sat outside the small house watching the house with a close eye. He already sensed his master was awake but knew he would be alright. He started to wonder about what Bane was doing or if anything was happening over there.

Ciel looked over at her and walked over. "Couldn't sleep either Maggie" he said the ocean spraying him in the face as well damping his hair and made his pale skin look softer

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane suddenly stopped, seeing something go over the wall. He growled and jumped the fence, landing in the back courtyard to see something heading towards one of the houses. "Oh no your not..." He ran forward, his aura showing as his demon side appearing as the thing turned. It was a demon alright, a low ranking goon but it could still do damage. Bane barked and tackled the creature, fangs and claws flying as the pair rolled and tossed on the ground. Bane kicked the thing off and faced it, already covered in blood. But the other demon was worse off. Bane growled and said "Who sent you!? Answer me!" The demon hissed and said in a harsh voice "The master that will take the power of the Zodaic..." Bane blinked, then said "What does the family of Soma have to do with the Zodaic?" The demon hissed again and jumped Bane, the pair fighthing again. Bane howled in pain as one of the bites of the demon went into his neck. He growled and his eyes glowed. "Wrong move, runt" Suddenly the shadows around them came alive and grabbed the demon, wrapping around him till the shadows ripped him apart. Soon just the pieces were left and Bane got up slowly, breathing hard as he muttered "Well...that told me...a little..." He blew on the body and black flames ingulfed the remains till nothing was left but ashes. Bane sighed then looked down at himself. "Boss won't be happy...about this..." Then Bane fell forward, hitting the ground on his side, eyes closed.

Maggie nodded and said "I just talked to Bane and Sebastan...things are worse then we..." Suddenly Maggie gasped and held her chest. Pain ran thru her body, causing her to fall to one knee. For a moment she thought it was another attack, but then she knew what is was. Bane. He was in trouble.

[Luna]

Ciel looked at her alarmed when she gasped in pain. "Maggie is something the matter" he asked her urgently worried for his friend not noticing the glowing that was happening under his eye patch

Sebastian who sensed something coming towards the house and he ran towards it attacking it swiftly. The demon beneath him hissed realizing that he was caught and glared hatefully at the butler. "Who are you and who sent you" Sebastian asked his eyes glowing with demonic power. The demon hissed more and struggled beneath him refusing to give up at all. Sebastian narrowed his eyes and grabbed its throat choking it to death causing it to go limp. "Hmm that was a big waste of time...didnt get much" he dragged the body away and burned the body

[MegaraFoxfire]

She looked at ciel and said "bane...his hurt badly...he needs help..."

[Luna]

"Oh god..." he told Sebastian through their contract to go help him. Sebastian felt it and ran for where Bane was hoping he was still alive.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Maggie sat down on the deck, breathing hard. "Hold on bane....please..."

Bane was laying on the ground in the backyard of the main house bleeding into the ground. If no one heard the fight, they would hear his whine and harsh breathing

[Luna]

Sebastian caught sight of him and ran to him picking him up. "Hang in there Bane, hang in there" he said

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane whined softly and opened his eyes weakly. "Sebastian...more...might come..." He whined again and closed his eyes again.

Maggie leaned against the railing, her eyes closed

[Luna]

"I know but you need some serious attention hang on I think I got something that might work" he pulled out a red vial and gave him a few drops of the cherry tasting liquid. "This will make your wounds heal faster"

Ciel held her close looking worried
