Caught

"Salem, talk to me," Sakazuki said the next morning.

He had carried me home and let me sleep in his bed with him, but neither of us could sleep. Once an hour he would ask what had happened and I wouldnt speak. I was absorbing the memories of Salems 167 lives, he made it the longest but Ken, Balthazar, and I didnt help him. He simply had basic powers we didnt bother to seal, we kept our signature skill sets to ourselves and sealed all others to advanced mastery.

<It seems each restart took his memories> K

<It may be because we sealed the mental cultivation> B

<We should check the things he has sealed... Not here though> L

<Alright but we should give him peace of mind first> K

<Do you mean... The island?> B

<I'm going to give them bracelets> L

<Oh lord, here we go again> K &B

<Itll teleport them...> L

<Just teach them teleportation!> B

<We dont need more at the island...> K

<We promised to take care of them so we will. If you want to teach them teleportation, fine. But I have things to unseal> L

"Salem, do you still want to go to the sea train?" Sakazuki asked.

My tail hit the bed angrily, 'I'd rather burn the entire island!'

Sakazuki sighed, "You're aweful lively today."

'What do you mean by that?' I squinted my eyes.

"For someone who nearly died... You just seem a bit more lively than most would be," he commented and laid on his back.

His response wasnt normal. He should have left it alone, if he believed I was Salem that is.

<Caught already...> K

<Dude you suck at this> B

<Get those two to convince him> K

<Nah, his aura changed> B

<Damn...> L

'Lively? -scoff- Someone has to make you feel better before you get grumpy,' I said and smirked.

<You fucked up> B

<Salem sneers not smirks> K

"I see. Maybe Grey and Ghost would appreciate someone making them feel better as well," Sakazuki said and raised an eyebrow.

'They can take care of themselves,' I said.

<Another nail in the coffin...> K

<Another foot in the grave...> B

<Let's see how he gets out of this> K

<He already played into the trap> B

"Sengoku is already bringing them. And they refused to let Ryu be alone because you were so worried for his life," Sakazuki said and sat up, fixing his shirt.

'Oh would you look at the time... I forgot I had a meeting with... uh... Borselino,' I said and slowly got up. Making my way to the window, I ran into someone but couldnt see them, 'What the hell did I hit?'

"Ghost wasnt convinced you were yourself... I didnt understand what he was saying, so we just played along with his request," a voice said next to me.

"So, what's going on?" another voice said.

I sighed, 'This is why I hate suppressing myself... Thank god Ryu isnt here...'

<Agreed...pft> K&B

"What do you mean? Speak," the first voice said.

I backed up a bit, 'How do I go about this...'

<Delicately?> B

<Smash it open> K

<Oh! Like a watermelon> B

<Or you know, a zombie head> K

'I feel I should be delicate but where do I even begin? Sigh...,' I lamented before stretching and shifting into human form. I looked like a pale version of myself, "Better..."

'Salem hates human form,' Ghost hissed.

'Well he lacks delicacy,' K.

'You think? I think your less delicate though,' B.

'The word your looking for is blunt,' K.

'The word your looking for is bitter,' B.

"Who was that," Sengoku glanced around.

"Well, this is going great," I smiled a bit.

"Explain already," Grey said aloud.

"Yeah, yeah... My name is Lucifer. I'm sorry for your loss," I said, "Salem died yesterday after he passed out in Sengoku's office. Before his soul returned to me, he asked me to take care of you all. Even Garp."

"Why couldnt I heal him," Ghost asked bitterly.

"Because you cant heal wounds to the soul," I said and sighed, "I have a few options for you all. Would you care to hear them?"

"...what do you mean?" Sakazuki said quietly.

"For your happiness, I can erase your memories and fill in the void with proper ones. I can make these two normal felines. I can change all of you but you would have to disappear for a while. I can do anything you request, except return Salem," I said.

'Zombie head,' K.

'Hatchet,' B.

'Watermelon?' K.

'Fire wood,' B.

'...It was busted open,' K.

'Lacking so much delicacy,' B.

'Like a Tiger?' K.

'Oh lord, here he goes,' B.

'Shut the fuck up or I'll seal you,' I growled, "Sorry... I'll give you time to decide. But please don't bring Ryu here."

"Why not?" Garp asked nervously.

'Hahaha! Luc would so kill him,' K.

'Maybe not. From the memories, this Ryu is clone like identical,' B.

'That's why. It's not him,' K.

'So... 'he' isnt Luc father but see what happened earlier,' B.

'Touche, my friend, touche,' K.

<I would jump him...> L

"I'm so lost...," Sengoku grumbled.

I sighed, "He looks like someone I knew well. I wouldnt hurt him, just... well, he wouldnt like it."

"Fine... Where are you going to go until we decide," Sakazuki growled.

"The forest. I'll set up a nice little tea party and wait for you... Just follow the yellow brick road," I said and teleported away, "Damn, I really cant believe them."

'I know,' K.

'How dare they be mad that their loved one died and someone pretended to be them, it's an outrage,' B.

'Drop the sarcasm,' K.

"Come have some tea," I sighed and waved my hand, "And if you could make a yellow brick road, that would be helpful."

Two clones appeared and took Ken and Balthazars appearances.

"Feels good to stretch," Ken said.

"I want to drink," Balthazar sighed.

"Alright, how about some drinking games while we wait," I grinned.

"Woo!" they half assed an excited cheer and disappeared for a few minutes.

I made a clone, "Greyfia, please be a dear for a while."

"Yes master," she said quietly and placed a row of bottles on the table, "Which games does the master wish to have prepared?"

"Oi, I want a series drinking game," Ken said and appeared in the seat next to me.

"Lord or Potter," Balthazar asked and leaned against me from his chair.

"Hobbit, Potter, Lord, and Twilight," I said.

"Rules?" Ken asked, I could hear the smirk.

"Normal rules," Balthazar said.

I nodded, "And if we have to pause, we have to quote the next 5 lines."

"No throwing up," Ken said.

"No eating," Balthazar.

"No making clones or killing yourselves," I said seriously.

"And no matter what," Balthazar grinned.

"No mortals," Ken cheered.

I chuckled, "Greyfia, the TV please."

"Yes master," she bowed and quickly set up.

We watched Hobbit 1 and half of 2 without interruptions, but someone came, "What's all this? Who are you? What's that thing?"

Ken and Balthazar drunkenly leaned on me and snickered, "Luc, lookit! Its Borselino!"

"Luc, can we keep him? Please! I promise to take care of him," Balthazar said and laughed loudly.

I drunkenly stood and made a cane appear before finding the guy, "Lookit here. I'm am Luficer. Dem my bruthers. We watchin some movies, well them are. Is drinking game."

"Huh," he seemed confused.

I put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him toward the table, "If he make it, Imma do any uno thang you want."

"Rules," Ken said.

Greyfia took my arm and lead me to my chair, "Mr. Borselino, the rules are..."

As Greyfia explained the rules to him, I waved a fan on myself and sighed, "Is hot."

"Strip! Strip! Stripe... er... STRIP!" Ken said and laughed crazily.

I took my suit jacket off and unbuttoned my shirt, "Das better."

"And since you don't know the movies, your exempt from reciting the lines," Greyfia said, "Here is a drink. Dont take theirs or you will die. Please enjoy the festivities."

We grabbed out bottles, Greyfia unpaused the movie and we recited 5 lines before drinking the entire bottle. Borselino was wasted by the end of the third movie, and went off to the side to throw up.

We laughed at him but waited for him to return. Once he came back, Greyfia gave him an instant sober pill and we started the next series. Not even halfway through the first movie, a few more people showed up.

I stood and drunkenly waved my hand, "Yo! Greyfia, da guests palease."

Greyfia sighed and explained to them as I fell over on Ken, "Commere ofen?"

"Pfft.... Bahahaha! Luc, shuddup and watcha movies," Ken said and sat me up in my seat.

Balthazar leaned his head on my shoulder, whispering, "Why no popcorn?"

I leaned my head on his head, "Bacause we said no food."

"We say no mortals neither," Ken hummed and laid his head in my lap.

I roughly pet his head, "Popcorn... How bouts some pizza and nacos?"

"And twinkies!" Ken said excitedly.

"Deep fried and smothered in cheese," I said and licked my lips, "Sebastian, Tanaka, Claude, help Greyfia."

"Yes master," three male voices called quietly behind me.

"Bwahahaha!" Balthazar suddenly laughed crazily and fell on the ground.

Ken chuckled, "Luc, keeper clothes on."

"Is hot!" I yelled angrily and stood, "If I wanna be neked at my party, imma be neked!"

I took off my belt before I heard a soothing voice, "Master, the food is ready and the guests are prepared."

I turned, crossing my arms, "Then how come..."

"Luc, I'm playing the movie," Greyfia said.

Balthazar pulled me into my chair before leaning on my shoulder, "Open yer mouth, I got pizza fer yew."

"I'll feed the master," a serious voice said.

I leaned to Balthazars ear, "Recite da lines fer me."

I was hand fed, we drank a lot more, Ken clung to my right while Balthazar clung to my left. I couldnt take off my pants. We force fed mortals sober pills or kicked them to the curb until we were done with lord of the rings.

I clapped my hands at the end of the final movie, "Woohoo! Now erbody fucks off."

The butlers escorted people out of the forest and came back to find Greyfia banging her head on the table. Ken, Balth, and I were dancing nakedly while exclaiming, "50 shades! 50 shades! 50 shades!"

Someone clapped twice, "How are we supposed to play a movie if your dancing or standing?"

I grew my hands in the air, "I wanna lay down ta watchit!"

"Yeah," Ken and Balth cheered.

Greyfia sighed, "Right away master."

Sebastian spoke, "Allow me to help."

Soon a big fuzzy blanket was on the ground and we were laying in a pile of pillows together. A bottle in one hand, a smoke in the other, I grinned, "50, twilight, princesses."

Ken laughed, "Princess first!"

"I wanna see me some woofs," Balth said.

"We gots a save energy for princess to dance. Das why 50 first, den regain energy during twilight, den princess," I explained.

"Fine..." Ken grumbled.

Balth sighed, "I still gotta see woofs."

"I wanna see frozen princess first," Ken declared.

I agreed and the movies started again. Occasionally, they would lay their heads on my shoulders and cuddle.

As frozen came on, Ken excitedly sat up, "I wanna sing fer Elsa!"

"I wanna be Ana!" I said.

"Deal! But I gotta be Moana," Balth said.

"I'm a rock," I hummed.

We laughed and sang along loudly to the movies. Having finished all princess movies, I stood and declared, "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!"

"Pass!" Ken said.

"-odd breathing noises- Luke, I am your father," Balthazar said, sounding like Vader.

"Wars then Trek? Dc or marvel? Mandalorian? Clone? Shows, movies, both, or all?" I asked and sat back down.

"Moulin Rouge," Ken said.

"Game of thrones," Balth said.

"Jeepers Creepers," I shouted.

"Shining," Ken said.

"...xmen," Balth said.

We paused before I excited downed a bottle, "All marvel movies based on timeline."

Ken laughed, "But first, more booze!"

"Woo!" we cheered and continued watching movies in the nude for a week.

I laughed, "Rock of ages."

Halfway through the movie, Greyfia paused it, "Masters, we have guests."

I put a pillow over my lap, "I'm kay now. Brin dem over."
