[Dark Raven]

Shuffling was heard in the pitch black, along with the soft whimper of a child by the sounds of it and a rattling of a chain. Through a small barred window the wind was howling mercilessly and rain was pouring down heavily. It was cold in the room, not much warmer than it would be outside, but at least it was dry. That was about the only plus side to it. It was too dark to see, but the child tried nonetheless, issuing soft sounds of despair as she found herself in the unfamiliar room with unfamiliar sounds. A soft sobbing was now coming from the corner where she resided as she was losing the will to keep it together. She was young, very young, and just wanted her mommy. Though there would be no such luck. "H-hello?" the girl asked.. hoping that there was someone that could give her answers or someone that was there with her so she wasn't completely alone.

The heavy door that locked off the room opened, making the room be lit up in the light that came from behind the door. Blocking the sharp light the girl shielded her eyes and attempted to see who opened it. Nothing was seen at first until a very small form peeked inside. Blonde curled hair and an innocent stare, it was a child, a girl of no older than five by the looks of it, peeking into the dark room. "Hello?" the girl in the dark asked again. The little blonde girl however didn't speak, she just gave a curious look at the room then seemed to get distracted by something as she looked to the side somewhat startled. "Nisha!" a voice called out, raspy and clearly male. This made the little one jump and make a run for it apparently caught doing something that wasn't allowed.

The little feet of the girl were heard as she ran through the corridors away from the room, followed by a very tall, muscular man with long ruby hair hanging loose over his shoulders and back. He took hasty steps as he went after the little blondie, passing the room and briefly peeked inside before walking faster, attempting to catch the girl. "Nisha come here!" he ordered in a stern tone, but not overly angry by the sounds of it. The girl in question, Nisha, however had no intention on stopping and ran faster, around the corners and through a main hall up the stairs, tripping twice and around another corner where she came to a fast stop as she crashed into something. Looking up from the ground she wondered what she crashed into and rubbed her head a little dazed.

Eshita was relaxing in the small library on the second floor of their three story house, the woman lounging on the couch with a book as she tried to relax after the fight she'd gotten into with her son moments before, though he likely would be regretting his behavior once she told his father about it. She could hear the pitter-patter of her daughter's feet as the little girl walked around downstairs and she heard when the basement door creaked as Nisha peeked into the basement even though she knew she was not allowed to be down there with the little human captive. She frowned at that, setting her book aside and walked out of the library to go and reprimand the girl for what she'd done but she heard her husband beat her to the chase so to speak. Of course she usually would return to the library at that point and let him deal with it but she heard Nisha running upstairs and decided to catch the little girl off guard since Bael let her get away with far too much in Eshita's opinion. So as her daughter ran around the corner and slammed into her she gave the girl a disapproving look as she reached down and took the child by her wrist, pulling her to her feet and frowning at her. "You know better than to run away from your father, child, and you know you are not allowed to go in the cellar." She scolded, an obvious air of disapproval to her as she did. She looked over at her husband ad the man joined them and put a hand on her hip as she looked at him, "Your son screamed profanity at me and stormed out of here not even a quarter of an hour ago, he said he was going to find a hunter's child of his own to bring back here." She informed him, conveniently referring to their son as 'his' when Renji was being annoying. She was not a heavy disciplinarian, so she tended to leave Renji's misbehavior to his father to correct. "I will deal with Nisha, you go find that boy" She told him, a little bossily but that was more how she talked than her trying to boss him.

[Dark Raven]

Bael joined his wife when chasing their daughter and let out a sigh when seeing Eshita had managed to catch the little one. He gave the girl a look of his own and crossed his arms before his eyes met that of his wife and he arched a brow. "He did what?" his voice was more than displeased, his eyes darkening with the news. To disobey is one thing, but to scream and with that out profanities to his mother, and to top it off run off as well, that was crossing the line even for their son. Noting that once again Eshita referred to Renji as his, as she had a habit of when the boy misbehaved.

Looking down at Nisha who was currently tugging at her mother's grip on her in attempt to release herself he scowled at her. "You mind what your mother says now. And you have yourself to blame for this. You know not to go there nor to run from me so now you have her to deal with while I go deal with your brother." he scolds her. Instantly turning her eyes at her father she gave him her infamous puppy eyes which usually meant that she was going to get her way when making him melt at them. If that didn't work she'd use the waterworks and her pout. "No no no, don't you start." he told her, diverting his eyes not to fall for it, as this would most certainly not sit well with his wife. He knew he was spoiling Nisha, much to Eshita's displeasure, and let himself be wrapped around the little one's finger much too often with that. "Daddyy.." her voice whined with a slight whimper when seeing it wasn't working this time and continued to tug at her wrist. "I will return soon." Bael informed Eshita, obviously struggling with not responding, and turned to head out of their mansion to find Renji.

[animefangirl]

Eshita ignored her daughters squirming, since she was rater used to the little one trying to get away from her when she was in trouble, considering Nisha usually ended up being punished by Eshita when she misbehaved. Not that Eshita minded, well she didn't like doing it but she realized it was necessary, and it was only fair since she forced Bael to deal with their headstrong teenager most of the time since she just didn't like coming down hard on either of them. She didn't care about torture or mauling when it was humans or other demons, but her own spawn were different. So she just caught her daughter then looked over at her husband and informed him what their son had done, the woman pleased when she saw his eyes darkening in response since she was not the least bit happy with Renji and she wanted him dealt with, so that look in Bael's eyes reassured her that he would be. After that she told him that he should go deal with their son and watched as he spoke briefly with their daughter, siding with Eshita's choice to spank the girl which really was a good thing since Eshita would have done it with or without Bael's approval and she didn't want to have to deal with his disapproval later if he were upset with her for punishing his favorite child. "Come, child" She said, tugging on Nisha's arm as she lead the little girl back down the hall and to Nisha's bedroom. She pulled the little girl over to the desk and took the chair out, pulling Nisha in front of her and giving her a dark look. "Why did you disobey your father and I, Nisha? And do not try to lie to me, I can tell when you do that" She reminded, looking down at her adorable but mischievous little daughter as she waited for her answer.

In the meantime Renji had fled the house by jumping out his window after he got into a fight with his mother. He'd told her that he wanted to track down a hunter family and get another child as payback for all the demonic lives the hunters managed to destroy, and he'd been less than pleased when she forbade him from doing so. The older he got the more aggressive he was getting and the more he wanted his independence from his parents. So he meant to prove to them that he could handle himself, though why he thought screaming at her and storming off were good ways to prove he was grown up he could not explain if asked, he just didn't think of it like that. The red haired demon looked about fifteen years old but he was in his early eighties, and with his 'teenage hormones' kicking in his wolf side was coming out more and demanding that he try to assert his dominance and independence, so that was what lead to his current predicament. He ran through the woods at superhuman speeds, heading towards a hunter's family that he knew lived nearby, since it was the one his father had captured Loaki from and he thought that if there was one then there must be another child that he could take. What he wasn't counting on was that the hunters would be wise to what they were up to now that the girl had been taken, and would probably have increased their defenses beyond what he could handle on his own. But he was young and cocky so he thought he could handle this on his own, overconfident in his abilities which were quite good but still in their juvenile stage considering his young age by demon standards.

(sorry for not posting Renji last time, I ran outta time cause I was squeezing the post in before I had to catch my bus lol)

[Dark Raven]

(no problem at all )

Whining louder Nisha wasn't a happy camper when seeing Bael walk off and finding herself being taken to the all familiar bedroom. Giving a big pout when put in front of her mother she looked down shuffling her feet back and forth. "Jus' wanted to look." she mumbled in her own defense to why she had gone down the basement to look at the new occupant there. She however gave no reason to why she had chosen to run from Bael.

Bael rose his head up in the wind as he sniffed the air for his son's scent. Sighing when it was easily picked up he shifted right out in the open, forming into a full wolf as he chose to use this instead of his werewolf form. He moved at a blur, being as old as he is he knew the forest surrounding their home by every branch and leave so to speak. He came to a halt to check the surroundings for hunters before he sped up even, nearing the hunter's house he had visited all but a day back, Renji's scent being stronger the closer he got to it. Spotting his son he let out a warning howl, sounding no different than a mere wolf as his eyes shifted pitch black in anger with the unruly teen. This should warn him to turn back now, but could very well alarm the hunters as well. Though his efforts were in vain as he saw hunters already approach. This proved enough to alarm the man and he shifted to his full demon form, letting out an angered growl now his son seemed to be in danger. Moving in between Renji and the hunters that were aiming to attack the teen his eyes were locked on them, shielding his son. Lunging at two men he slashed their throat and gut in a single move, leaving them to bleed to death in hopefully a most painful way. Whirling around when hearing a gun being loaded he spot a third male about to fire from the back. "NO" he snarled in a demonic tone of voice and was behind the man within seconds, gripping the gun and ripping it out of the man's hands before putting a single clawed hand on his throat. "You dare touch my son.." he growled, lifting him from the ground with ease, giving no attention to the pleads and sounds of despair coming from the choking man. "You DARE.." he snarled then and lowered the man, biting his neck and sunk his fangs in deep before ripping out his throat. Dropping the lifeless form he turned to Renji, completely dripping with blood and licked his lips before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "You.." he said in a warning tone and narrowed his black eyes at the teen.

[animefangirl]

Eshita ignored her daughters whining just as she had with the little girl's attempts to get away from her and simply dragged the child to her bedroom to 'talk' to her about her behavior. Of course Eshita realized that Nisha was young and because of that she was going to be curious and mischievous sometimes but the woman also knew that it was hers and Bael's jobs to make sure the child learned right from wrong so she was a firm believer that discipline was necessary in raising a child, even a hybrid vampire/werewolf version of a child. She asked her daughter why she'd disobeyed and frowned at hte answer she got before reaching over to gently grip her daughters chin and lift her head so that Nisha was looking at her. "You look at me when I speak to you Nisha, its disrespectful to mutter at the floor when you speak to me. Now answer my question, why did you run from your father?" She first lightly scolded her daughter then firmly asked her question a second time, her patience wearing thin with the little girl's attempts to avoid answering.

Renji really should have been paying more attention to where he was going and to the possibility that the hunters here would have upped their security after his fathers' kidnapping stunt the day before, but he really didn't give the hunters that much credit since he'd been raised to look down on them so he thought that they were stupid, useless creatures that needed to be exterminated. Of course he realized belatedly that he had underestimated them and he instinctively froze when he heard his father's warning howl, the teenager shifting to his partial demon form automatically and his eyes began to glow faintly as his claws and fangs extended. He was looking around for the danger but before he got the chance to locate it his father was in front of him, mauling the humans and Renji just stood aside and watched, not wanting to get in the way. When the demon had killed the last one and turned on him he took an instinctive step back, not liking the tone his dad was using or the fact that the man's eyes were black with anger. A moment later his pride kicked in and he growled at his dad, baring his fangs at the man in the process, "What'd you do that for! I could've taken care of them!" he accused, his voice getting loud as he drew himself up to his full height--which was still significantly shorter than his fathers--and tried to act tough.

[Dark Raven]

Nisha let out a soft whimper when she felt her chin lifted and being forced to look at her mother. Of course as she was young, she was impulsive and she more than once wasn't able to control her curiosity, leading her into trouble fairly often. Despite of the discipline that followed, she continuously tested limits and responded on impulses she should know were bad to follow. "He seemed mad" she answered clearly this time, seeing as muttering wasn't taken as a proper answer. She was well aware of it at this time that Eshita was getting impatient with her and that alone got her to place her hands on the back of her dress she was put in. Rarely having anything but clothes on that were fit for a little lady of her standards. Both parents seemed to dress her in such and she knew no better. Even if she at more than one occasion seemed to get them filthy. Were it with blood or mud.

When Bael was through with the humans and turned his attention to Renji he had expected to get an apology or at least some form of regret from the teen. But instead he was met with pride and defiance, something he hadn't quite foreseen. This alone got his rage to boil his blood and he snarled angrily, something that wasn't rare for the demon. "You have the guts to growl at me boy?! Know your place" he growled back and took the growling he met with along with the tough guy act as a form of challenging his authority over Renji. Baring his fangs at the boy in response he was more than furious he had the nerve to raise his voice at his own father. At this point he heard footsteps come from the side and he looked over to see a woman attempt to flee from the house when seeing what had happened to the men. Whether she was alone or not wasn't entirely clear to him.

[animefangirl]

Eshita was pleased that her daughter answered her the second time she asked the question, but she was not pleased with what the little girl had to say and her frown showed that quite clearly as she gave her daughter a bit of a 'look'. "He had good reason to be mad, child, you were caught doing something you had been expressly forbidden to do. Your father and I do not tell you to do or not do things just to be mean to you, we have reasons for it and you already know that you are to obey us." She scolded, still forcing her daughter to meet her eyes and actually a little amused when the child put her hands on the back of her dress as if to protect her rear end from what she'd earned for herself. "That's not going to help you Nisha. Fetch your hairbrush." She instructed, releasing her daughter and giving her an impatient look as if to say 'obey me right now or suffer the consequences'.

Renji probably would have apologized to his father when he was younger, since he would have realized that he'd done something stupid and that his dad was likely very upset with him, but since he was currently in a bull headed mood he didn't go that route this time. Instead he issued a challenge of his own, though he subconsciously shrank away from his father a little when the man angrily growled at him to know his place, the teen's shoulders hunching slightly as he ducked his head a little bit. His body language was showing that even though he was in a mood he did still realize that he was lower in the 'pack' than his father but his mouth didn't match his body language. "I know my place! Away from you!" he challenged, his eyes flashing before he looked over to the house when he saw his father looking that way. When he saw the woman he smirked and shifted into his full wolf form to bolt past his father and give chase, the teen determined to get what he came for. When he reached her he jumped on her with a vicious sounding snarl and he immediately tore her throat out, shaking his head from side to side a bit afterwards and splattering the surroundings and the human boy she'd been pulling along with blood. After that he dropped it and phased back into his normal form, grabbing the child's chin and lifting him to eye level, his eyes glowing as he activated his vampire abilities 'SLEEP' he gave the mental order, his hypnosis forcing his will on the child and the little boy of nine slumped in the demon's grip and would stay asleep until Renji woke him up. He smirked then and looked over at his father, "See, I got the human child just like I said I would!" he announced cockily, conveniently ignoring the fact that he'd needed his dad to save his ass from the three men first.

[Dark Raven]

Gaping at Eshita when informed to fetch her hairbrush she gave her mother a pout that could earn a trophy of it's own. Though she deep down knew that what her mother explained to her about why she was forbidden and what had landed her in the position in the first place. Though the look she was given was one she wouldn't quite want to mess with and she shuffled towards her dresser as if walking down death row.

Bael instantly growled when not only Renji snapped at him, but dashed away from him as well to go and do what had been forbidden in the first place, along with doing it while he was clearly caught, and even daring to do so in front of Bael. This was by far the worst disobedience and disrespect that Renji could have displayed in Bael's eyes and by now the demon was boiling with rage. He walked over to the teen and the boy he had forced to sleep gripping the small body with a single hand and pulling it away from his son. "See.. " he started using the same way as his son just spoke at him ".. you got yourself a worse punishment just like you knew you would." he continued and gripped his son by the front of his shirt to ensure he wasn't going anywhere. Looking at the boy then he inspected the catch then let out a "Hm." before putting him under his arm and turned back to Renji. "We're going home" he informed him and lifted him off the ground, then over his shoulder and moved at an immense speed towards home. Whether or not Renji would appreciate the manner of which he was taken was not something that he cared about at this moment.

Back at the mansion Bael entered the place and set Renji down, pressing his index finger on the Renji's forehead and muttered some words in a demonic tongue, binding him to the mansion, unable to leave. "You...are grounded. You are to clean yourself up in the bathroom, go to your quarters and position yourself in the south corner there until I arrive to deal with your inexcusable behavior and the nerve you had to raise your voice at me along with the whole list you went down today breaking all the rules placed upon you.. in one punishment session. If you had the nerve to do it in one day, you will face the consequences for it too." he ordered Renji in a more than angry tone. "If you so much as DARE to disobey me on this you will not sit for the next 80 years of your life. Understood?!" he added to that and then pointed to where he knew Renji's bathroom and room were.

[animefangirl]

If Nisha had just broken one rule today then Eshita may have spared her the brush, but since the little girl had run away from her father and refused to stop or go back to him when she was called Eshita decided that a harsher punishment was warranted. Of course since she was always the more lenient one of the two adults Nisha was not going to suffer any worse than any other small child would have. So she sent the child to get her hairbrush and she ignored the pout that the little girl gave her, "Safe those for your father, they do not work on me" She said, turning the girl and giving her an 'encouraging' swat to her rear end. She watched the little girl shuffling towards her dresser and after a few moments of that she snapped at her, "The longer you keep me waiting the longer I'll keep you over my lap little girl." She warned, giving her daughter a displeased look since she did not appreciate the stalling.

Renji had stopped counting the rules he was breaking at this point, the teen apparently thinking 'in for a penny in for a pound' now since he knew for a fact his dad was going to kill him already so he might as well get what he came for and make it worth it. So even though he knew it was unwise to blatantly defy his father right in front of the man he shifted into his wolf form and went to capture the human boy as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Of course he was less than pleased when his father came and took the child from him, Renji growling again but this time it was an annoyed sound not a challenge and he glared at his dad. "That's mine!" He protested, sounding like a petulant child but he would not have appreciated that comparison right now if Bael pointed it out. He actually did drop the attitude a little when his dad came back by telling him that he'd gotten himself a worse punishment with this stunt, the boy not wanting to think about that right now and he actually considered bolting for it but his dad seized his shirt before he could. "Lettgo!" He protested, attempting to pull away from his father but then the man informed him they were going home and just tossed him over his shoulder, "Hey! Let go of me goddamn it!" He shouted, squirming hard and his face was flushing a bit in embarrassment at being in this position. He continued to struggle all the way home and he jerked his head away from his dad when the man pressed a finger against it but it was too late the curse was already laid.

He snarled in response, his hand flying up to his forehead as he opened his mouth to spew out profanities at Bael but they sort of died in his throat when the man outlined what was going to happen next, and his mouth went a bit dry when he heard the bit about having to face punishment for all of them in one session. "Father..." He started to protest, or plead but he didn't want to think of it as pleading since that sounded too weak, but he stopped again when the man added a threat that got slightly widened eyes out of the teen, all defiance pretty much draining out of him as he got a slightly scared expression on his face and he looked younger in that moment too just like any other boy that was afraid of being in trouble with their father. Only his father could and probably would act on that threat if he were stupid enough to disobey right now so when the man pointed in the direction of his room he hesitated only a few moments before making a frustrated huffing sound and speeding out of the room at inhuman speeds again. It took a few seconds for him to get upstairs where he raged a little and destroyed a few pieces of furniture to get his pent up frustrations out of the way before he actually obeyed his father's order to wash up and change his clothes. At that point he returned to his room and stood in the center, looking at the corner his dad wanted him to stand in and sorely tempted to disobey the order to go over there but in the end his dad's threat was more frightening than his pride so he placed himself in the corner his dad told him to go in and waited anxiously for the man to arrive.
