Just My Luck ~Calmay*

[{{Roxï-kun-+]

Sora followed after Reiga, no saying anything to his first statements, wondering why his heart had just stopped beating. Had he once been...Na, that was impossible. And Sora wouldn't really believe that the demon he summoned and was taking him to another summoner could have once been human. How would a demon be turned into demon? Utterly impossible.

The summoner looked over his shoulder as the village fell behind, wondering how far they were going to go. If it was far wouldn't it be better to just rest in the village for the night or to ask to use some horses? Sora put his hands into his pockets, eyes widening slightly as he realized he hadn't put on a jacket earlier today. His was still in the inn room he had gotten in a nearby city. No, this was Reiga's jacket that the demon had given him earlier. "If your so heartless then why not kill me and move on? I know you don't like being contracted to me." he asked, eyebrow raised as he looked over at the demon instead of past him.

Sora tilted his head as Reiga told him that he shouldn't help those who were there. Why? The word almost tumbled from the summoner's mouth before he closed it, having opened it for a few moments to protest. "What's going on there?" he asked instead, looking past the demon again and wondered how many Reiga counted as 'a large amount'. "Also, how far is it?"

Erebus grew quiet, boredom overtaking his expression. The demon wouldn't listen to his orders and also wouldn't let his teasing get to him. No fun. He smiled at one of the kid's sentences. The demon floated over to Reiga, floating backwards in front of the walking male. "He's right you know. You've been softened by the years spent with these...digusting things of the surface world. In fact, you even saved the boy form me." he accused, smile back in place. Maybe there was some fun to be had yet.

Reiga turned around and smiled at Sora, but it was not a normal smile. It one he used to scare the demons below him to remind them of their place. It would normally instill fear or at least send shivers down one spine. "My dear Sora, the flow of time is different for demons and other creatures. I am merely waiting for your soul to mature. I want it to be at the most optimal point before I take it. Do not take it as any form of kindness. I am incapable of that." Though Reiga was far from Sora it sounded like he was saying it right to his ear. He then turned around and kept on walking. Why were the two insisting that he was kind demon. He just had patience to wait. That was it. Being hasty was something that went against his nature.

"As for what is going on -" Reiga paused wondering what to say. He really did not want to say what that man did or how he treated his demons. It was a well known fact that one should never answer a call for a contract from that man. "Let's just say you should not do anything stupid and leave it at that. The demons he summoned were stupid enough not to listen to the warnings and are now paying the price." They would get their rewards when the summoner died. He was pretty sure that his soul would not get off easy at all. He stepped forward and paused before turning around. He did not want to continue to looking at Erebus

He pulled out a card. "I have a carriage but no horses. If you would do the honour of summoning two horses we can make our way there faster. That is if you can."The the carriage did not need horses he preferred to have them. It allowed them to move faster and so he did not have to control the carriage as it moved. He wished he could put living creatures in the cards but the result was always death for said creature he tried it on.

Sora glared at the demon at the male's smile, even as some amount of fear did enter him for a few moments. No, he had nothing to be afraid of right then. The summoner's breath came out in short clouds and he wondering what would happen if he released the demon before the time his soul became desirable. But how would he really know? The male put it all away from his mind, instead thinking about other, simpler, things. Sora, despite the cold weather, took off the jacket he had on and tossed it at the demon, glare burning.

"Then take your jacket, Mr.Incapable." the mixed-breed said, not watching to see if Reiga caught the garment or not. Instead he looked in the general direction they were going, arms slowly being spotted with goosebumps. But Sora could deal with goosebumps. The younger male simply crossed his arms, getting warm enough that he wouldn't have to use a jacket until he could get his own. Sora didn't look toward the demon until he turned away, moving forward once again.

The summoner opened his mouth to argue about being able to summon horses. Instead he closed it slowly, glaring once again. "I'm not completely useless." Sora said instead, muttering it under his breath though Reiga could probably hear it anyway. He stopped walking, closing his eyes and bending his head forward slightly while mouthing something. A few moments later two dark, large horses appeared, whinnying while one shook its mane. Both were quite large and had black marble-like eyes along with sharp teeth that would eat anything -- human or not -- if Sora wasn't around.

One stretched it's wings that were reduced to bone while the other trotted over to the summoner, wondering why they had been called. In answer Sora shot a look over at Reiga, raising an eyebrow as well. "Good enough?" he asked after a second, obviously still displeased with the demon.

((No movement from Erebus...and I love how Sora is more moody then most of my girls XD It's the cat part of him XD))

[Calmay]

Reiga shrugged as he caught the coat it. It did not matter to him if he wore the jacket or not. He twirled the jacket around his fingers and it became a card again. His slid it up his sleeve for safe keeping. How knew when the kid would start to get cold again. He might be stubborn now but he was going to give in soon. After all when one could see their breath when they breathed it meant that it was cold. Not that it mattered how cold it was to him. He could just put on a warmer jacket. Instead he looked at the horses the boy had summoned. They would do for now. Even if he did not like like it he had to admit that their powers did work well together at times. He shrugged again and placed the card on the ground.

He took a step back not wanting to be pushed when the carriage came out of the card. With a puff of smoke the card disappeared and was replaced by a carriage. If one lived in the noble courts one would definitely never ride this carriage. The carriage was black and the trims looked like they were made of bone. Though it was very sturdy and could withstand the attacks of many demons. He latched the summoned horses on to the carriage and then opened the door. He then picked up Sora and placed him not so gently into the carriage before closing the door and looking it from the outside. He would learn his lesson by refusing his offer of a jacket.

He then got on the drivers seat and ordered the horses to move forward. The inside of the carriage was completely different from the outside. The seats and walls were made from the most expensive materials. The inside was built to keep royalty comfortable.

[{{Roxï-kun-+]

Sora took a few steps away as well as Reiga put the card on the ground. The mixed breed wondered if he could simply get there on his own instead of in the very strange ride the demon had conquered up. It was black on the whole but was trimmed and decorated in bone. Though it looked steady the summoner made no move towards it, the aura coming from the thing keeping the male away from it. Though, a moment later it wasn't problem.

Sora yelped as his feet left the ground, mismatched eyes widening with surprise. He recovered a moment later, struggling in the grip of the demon. "I can walk!" he exclaimed, seething at this point. The demon carried him over and more-or-less threw him into the carriage. The summoner hissed as he hit the flooring, before freezing as the door was loudly latched followed by a clear click. His eyes widened as he scrambled up and his hand grasped the unmoving door knob. Reiga had locked him in.

For the next moments Sora decided to curse the demon instead of actually looking around at his new surroundings. He tried to kick open the door a few times, the carriage not taking kindly to it and staying firmly in place. The first thing the summoner registered was that it wasn't any warmer in or outside of the vehicle. He stood up, looking at the expensive material and such. The only thought the summoner could really come up with this point after all that had happened was 'The hell?' as he stood there like an idiot for a second.

The second was interrupted as the carriage moved, horses starting out with a burst of speed. Sora flew forward, falling into the door again. He bounced slightly before falling back onto his backside, flinching slightly as pain made itself apparent. The mixed blood stood up once again after moments of getting used to the moving and sat back down in a corner on the oddly comfortable seating. He put his back to the wall on two sides, staring forward.

No, he did NOT like moving vehicles, Sora decided as he felt a small wave of panic at being in such a small enclosed space. His nails, which were back to their normal size, clutched the fabric. He was sure that this was the last time he was ever doing this.

~x~

Erebus laughed as the demon picked up Sora and threw him into the carriage. Not only was it funny but now Reiga would have almost no choice to listen to him. He floated beside the demon quietly and then went inside of the vehicle to watch what the kid would do. He grew bored moments afterwords, yawning dully as he kept his eyes on Sora. That is, until the mutt began to have a miniature freak out over the moving.

After the summoner hunched over in a corner Erebus grew bored once again and got up, floating through the front wall of the carriage and sitting next to Reiga. "Well, he seems to be causing self harm and panic. It grew boring though~ So, tell me, why are you helping him?" the demon asked with an interesting gleam in his eyes. He sat his chin on one of his palm's heels, face pointed forward while his eyes stayed on Reiga.

((XD Sora's like my dog when he gets into cars. Just, with less drooling o-o and waayyy less sticking his head out the window o-o;)

[Calmay]

Reiga was not interested in how Sora was doing. The kid had made him angry. He had tried to show some kindness, well his form of kindness to him and all he got in return was the kid being just as annoying as ever. He had no intention of keeping up the act for now. Instead he was going to give the kid some trouble and do things he might not like. After all the kid always summoned him even when he was not needed. It annoyed Reiga so much. He gripped the reins tighter and made the horses go faster. They were not his horses so he did not have to be extra careful with them. He just wanted to get his location as soon as possible.

When Erebus to him Reiga shot him a stare. He really was getting tired of this demon floating around him. "Well with him in the carriage I can talk to you without hiding it. Also who said I was helping him. I am going to see that summoner to get some help to get rid of you. He has a couple demons under him that might know how to get you out of my body." He then looked forward. "Let's point this out. Next time you comment on my dealings with humans don't make me remind you how you lost your body." Reiga now remembered what had happened to Erebus and why his name had come ti him so quickly. Of course he was not going to say anything yet. There were still things he had to keep from Erebus and as long as he did not think too much about it that demon would not know about it.

[{{Roxï-kun-+]

Sora stayed like for a more then a few moments before his mind began to drift away from the present. He couldn't remember much of his childhood, never having a good memory about anything, though some memories were there. He zoned out as random memories passed through him. Though the wanted distraction didn't last as long as the summoner wanted as the carriage bounced over something, probably a dead body Sora would realize later, and he went with it.

The mixed breed landed on hands and knees on the flooring, face inches from it. He glared at the flooring like it had done him personal wrong before turning his head to the front wall, guessing at the demon's location so he could glare at it. "You suck at driving, you stupid demon!" he yelled, displeasure growing. He wanted out of this carriage and showed such by yelling a few more insults along the same lines as the first.

A moment later Sora slumped against the seating, have been standing in front of it while yelling. He blew his bangs out of his face, wondering why Reiga had thrown his back here anyway. After all, the space in the front of the vehicle had enough room for two. He huffed like a small child, blowing hair out his face again before resuming his death glaring at the general direction of Reiga.

~x~

Erebus giggled as Reiga spoke of finding a way to get rid of the demon's soul. "Why, that's simple~ Just give me his body." the demon said gleefully even though the other male here would object. But it was a way to get Erebus out of Reiga's body. He continued to giggle quietly, free hand's fingers over his mouth slightly. No, he wouldn't be forced out this body until he gotsomebody's body.

The giggling suddenly froze and the demon's expression poisoned into one of ice. "You will not talk of that. I have more control over your body then you think. At least enough for a little "accident" to occur." Erebus said, eyes darkening as he looked at Reiga. A second later the demon's eyes flickered to the horses, smile growing. He looked back at Reiga, leaning back before folding his arms above himself and resting his head on them, facing forward once again.

"How much longer?"

[Calmay]

Reiga paid no attention the the compaints and curses of the passanger in his carriage. He kept it going at the pace that it had been going all along. He could care less about what the kid had to say. If he had such a big problem about riding in the back he should have not complained about the distance they had to walk or objected ehn he first brought up the idea. It was to late for the kid to say anything. he personally never really understood the need for such things. He could go for long distnces with out mych trouble. Whenever his feat hurt he would just start to fly. He would alternate the two as it was needed. And worse came to worse he could just use a spell to teleport to the location that he needed to go. No he really did not understand the need for such items.

Instead he turned his head to his other passanger. The one within in his body. "Of course you already know the answer to that suggestion. The kid belongs to me body and soul. If you want his body you first need him to absolve the contract he has with me. Then ou can have him." Though he could not help but smirk when he heard Erebus' reaction to the reat he had made. So there was something that touched that demon's facide. He decided to remain quite for now. He would use it at the most optune time. For now he would remain silent as the other demon wanted. Instead he looked forward beginning to answer the last question Erebus had asked. "We are not that far now. In fact the place was not face to begin with."

Ahead of the carriage one could see the a small house entering the view. However as one got closer one could see that it was not a small house at all. It was quite big. That was the place that the group was heading towards. Reiga spead the carriage up without warning. He wanted to get there as soon as possible. He wanted answers top the questions forming within his mind and that place might just have it.
