The mage sighed. Go figure. As the jet travelled towards those damned penguins, it froze and fell to the ground, where it shattered. Looking over, Razzer saw Hawthorn's arm outstretched.
Ice manipulation. he thought. Saw that coming.
"I wish I could but I can't." Hawthorn said, approaching Razzer. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. Oh, how he wanted to throw a punch. The boy's pale hand appeared from under the folds of his cloak, and drew closer to Razzer's stomach. Closing his eyes, he let Hawthorn touch the seal, tracing it with his unnatually cold hand.
"That seal is like a mystical tattoo. It keeps your body bound to the demon that is now part of you. And I don't know enough about seals to remove it." Hawthorn admitted. The last bit didn't surprise Razzer, but the first did.
"'Now a part of me'?" Razzer repeated. "You've got to be kidding. Now I've got a frigging demon in my body? My day just keeps getting better." He had recovered from the surprise, and was now pissed. Primitively, he swung his bandaged fist up as quickly and strongly as he could muster, and aimed for an uppercut.
"You b*****d." he snarled.

Hawthorn didn't try to protect himself from the attack. He knew the man would be mad so he wasn't going to try and stop him. He felt the attack slam under his chin as he wa slifted a foot or two off the ground and landed on the ground on his a**. He coughed as he sat there.
Raising a hand to his chin he connected his legs at the knees and left the rest of them spread outward, which could abrely be seen do to his pants. He lifted a hand to his chin and rubbed it as he looked up. He then wa slifted up to his feet, as if by the air, and stood there.
Crossing his arms his head lifted back up to him. His eyes stayed shut as he opened his mouth.
"I know your pissed at me and I'm sorry this happened, but until I can figure out how to fix it you have to control yourself."

His fist hit right on the mark with explosive force, lifting Hawthorn a full foot into the air, and then depositing him on his a**. Hardly looking dazed, Hawthorn rubbed his chin and stood up in the strangest of manners. It was as if there was some invisible entity hoisting him upwards, for his went directly from a sitting position to a standing one.
Eyes closed and arms crossed, he spoke.
"I know your pissed at me," he said in a voice so calm, so devoid of anger that it pissed Razzer off even more, "and I'm sorry this happened, but until I can figure out how to fix it you have to control yourself."
Razzer took several deep breaths through his nostrils. How could that b*****d be so calm?
"Shut the hell up!" he shot back. "You're not the one who has been turned into a freak by those three frigging penguins! YOU KNOW NOTHING!" He spit on the ground in disgust. "LOOK AT ME! Do you have any frigging idea what it feels like to be so inhuman?!" It took all his willpower, but Razzer managed to keep himself from striking Hawthorn again. What did this little squirt know?

[ Ben, one of your images is a broken one =( ]
Hawthorn sat there for a moment and listen to what he had to say. But, the last thing he said snipped the oh-so-calm part of him in half. He looked up at the man, his eyes fully opened. It revealed that his eyes were lightly hazed over, as if he were blind.
Suddenly his eyes errupted into a pure white color but then revealed a deep red color, almost matching that of blood. He shot a glare at the man, knocking him back with a unseen force against a tree. He then approched him and began to speak in a unnatural and unhuman voice.
"I know more about being unhuman then you ever will you ignorant little human, so shut your almighty pie whole and let be help you!"
He was then suddnely knocked back himself as he shook his head. He looke dback up to reveal his dusty blue eyes and panted, as if he had just ran a mile.

Rin entered the courtyard slowly, bright blue eyes upon the ground as she moved. She'd skipped the usual dress today, and instead wore some semi-baggy black pants, held in place with a silver decorated belt. Her upper half was covered snugly with a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt with a black tank top underneath. She blinked once, brushing a strand of vivid purple hair behind her ear and then looked up. She stopped in her tracks, heavy boots flattening the grass she stood upon.
Her eyes widened slightly as she stared openly towards the scene before her. There was a boy, and there was a girl, but what really caught her attention was the man with the tail. Only, now he had horns. Those weren't there before, were they? She once again got the familiar feeling that she somehow knew him. So Haruko had been telling the truth? She set a hand upon her head, holding it lightly as she watched the man slam the boy in the face, and then the boy knock the man into a tree. Seeing this, she decided to keep her distance. But her eyes darted around to scan the area for ghosts, just in case something headed her way. It wouldn't do to be injured again. She might be expelled once more and trapped back inside her home.

[They're all working now]
Hawthorn's reaction wasn't what Razzer had expected. He opened his eyes, and the mage took a step back. They were milky-tinged, like Hawthorn was blind. Then, suddenly, his eyes became pure white, and then a deep blood-red. Almost as soon as he glared at Razzer, the mage felt some invisible force send him careening back, slamming him into a tree.
He coughed as the wind was knocked out of him, and looked up to see Hawthorn looming over him.
"I know more about being unhuman then you ever will you ignorant little human, so shut your almighty pie hole and let me help you!" he snarled, no longer sounding like the child he had moments before looked like. Somehow his features seemed more aged, and had lost the youthful quality they had... was it just a trick of the light?
But Razzer didn't get any more time to look at Hawthorn's features, as the... kid? was knocked backwards. When Razzer saw his eyes again, they were back to the bluish colour.
Standing up, Razzer brushed himself off. Hawthorn's outburst didn't lessen his anger any, nor did it instill any fear into him.
"Oh no, your eyes are red!" Razzer said distastefully. "But look at ME! I've got horns! A tentacle! A DEMON INSIDE ME, FOR GODSAKES! This damned ugly seal on my stomach!" It was now his turn to loom over Hawthorn. "If you think you can intimidate me by knocking me over and changing your eye colour, you are quite mistaken."
Spitting next to Hawthorn, he continued. "'Ignorant little human'?! I'm about as human now as that fountain. I KNOW A HELLUVA LOT MORE ABOUT BEING INHUMAN THAN YOU THINK."

Hawthorn looked up in confussion as he was spit near. Changed eye color and knocking him intoa tree were a blurr to him. Had he really just excaped from inside him. He looked up at the man in slighlt fear and sorrow.
He looked up as he yelled at him about being more inhuman than he knew. He stood now, and brushed himself off. He was a bit shaky as he looked up into the infuriated mans eyes. He opened his mouth barely and spoke as if ina whisper.
"I"m very sorry for how I just acted, I'm not really sure of why I did it but please, let me help you. I can teach you how to control the demon until we remove the seal from your body."
His perosna totally changed, again, as it would seem.

He stood and blinked, totally caught off guard by Hawthorn's next comment. He looked into Hawthorn's eyes, and they were definately back to their blue colour. The features of youth had returned to his face once more, and he no longer seemed even remotely hostile.
Immediately Razzer's guard went up. Did he really not remember what just happened, or is this supposed to be a trick? he frowned, and stepped back.
"You can teach me?" he laughed. "Ha! You mean you will sabotage me, let the demon take over! I'm not stupid, child. You know damn well what just happened, you know damn well why you did it."
This kid... who exactly was he? Razzer opened his mouth to speak again, but he doubled over in pain. He coughed, and blood spattered onto the ground. Cluching his stomach, the seal began to burn again.

Rin's eyes darted around and then she walked slowly to one side, pausing in the middle of the grass. She stared at one fixed spot and then opened her mouth. "You, come with me." The male who'd been floating there in a slight daze blinked a couple times and then pointed at himself. "You talkin' to me?" Rin rolled her eyes and nodded. "I don't see any other ghosts floating nearby, do you?" she hissed. "Now come with me. I'm going to use your powers if I need to." The male stared at her but then smirked slightly and shrugged. Anything was better than just floating there bored out of his mind, right?
So Rin slowly approached the two male's, the familiar and non familiar, listening into their conversation. Her eyes widened very slightly as she finally stopped, just ten feet away from the pair. So the male... Razzer was it? Razzer had been possessed by a demon somehow? That would explain the horns and the seal... The tentacle had apparently already been there, according to Haruko. Rin shifted slightly, the ghost hovering by her side as she folded her arms across her chest, eyes slightly narrowed as she stared at the two.

He looked at the man with concern and sorrow. He hadn't meant for anything like this to happen at all. It was why he had left to come here, to help people unlike his father had. He looked at the man as he accused him of sabotage and was calling hima stupid child.
"First off I'm not a child. And I will not sabotage you just calm down. I don't know why I did it, honestly, so stop accusing me of things DAMMIT! I just wanna help you!"
As he finished he turned, noticing the girl. He opened his mouth to say something to her but when Razzer collapsed, he was caught off gaurd. Springing back he saw the blood and then decidedto approch him, trying to help. He troted lightly closer to hima nd bent down.
"You can control this, just focus on keeping it concealed in whatever power or memories you have. You have domain over it, it's in your body, control it!"

Just before he collapsed, Razzer heard Hawthorn's reply. He coughed up more blood and vaguely heard Hawthorn approach, barely saw his feet next to him. Hawthorn crouched down.
"You can control this, just focus on keeping it concealed in whatever power or memories you have. You have domain over it, it's in your body, control it!"
The feeling in his body was one Razzer had never experienced before. It was if someone else was trying to force him to move, like he was a marionette being controlled by its master. The demon... it kept groping in his brain, searching for his memories, searching for his thoughts.
Get... out...! Razzer thought fiercely, and he felt the demon retract a little. But instead of that helping, as he had hoped, the demon began to work harder. His skin was burning, it felt as if it was stretching and being torn from his bones. Clenching his fists, he gasped in pain. His fingernails had grown an inch longer, and were now piercing his palms. The demon was trying to force its way out, and it was slowly winning.
Razzer tried to listen to Hawthorn's advice, but it was in vain. He screamed, and the demon took over even further.

Rin watched in silence, seeing the boy glancing towards her once, but then Razzer drew his attention back. Arms still folded over her chest, she crouched down so she was at their level, but still ten feet away. Her eyes were no longer narrowed, but instead slightly widened. From what she could tell, the demon he'd supposedly been a sacrafice for was trying to force its way from his body? She glanced around and then up at the ghost. She reached out a hand and tugged his, pulling him down beside her. To most others, it'd seem she just jerked at the air. "Lend me your power," she hissed.
The male stared at her for a second, glanced back to the two ahead of them, and then slowly nodded. He moved behind Rin, and they both closed their eyes. The ghost moved forward, sinking into her rather than through her. For a moment she made no movement, but then she slowly opened her eyes again, blinking a couple times. She turned her hands over in front of her face and then stood, closing the gap so there was only five feet between her, the boy, and Razzer. Then she crouched again, clenching and opening her hand every few seconds. She wasn't exactly sure what this power she'd just attained was, but it felt odd..
She blinked, tilting her head slightly, and finally spoke. "You're letting yourself fall victim to such a thing?" she asked suddenly. "That's no good..." Her eyes flicked to the scars that spread across the inside of her fingers and her palms, a bit thicker on her right hand than her left. Yes, she knew perfectly well what it was like to be controlled from the inside. "How pathetic..." she muttered, directed more towards herself now.

Hawthorn stepped back at least two yards. He peered at the changing man and closed his eyes again. He began to focus, forcing all his bad feelings away as he opened his eyes, very lightly again. He lifted his right arm forward near the man, palm facing upward. He lifted his arm about a inch as a energy began to shake from his body.
A violet beam suddenly covered over razzers loaction, and lifted him up a few feet from the ground. A ball of blue energy formed in the palm of his hand. It them expelled from it three rings of energy expanding outward and fading. The ball suddenly vanish. Ina swift hand movement, he pulled his arm abck and then thrusted it forward, palm facing razzer.
"Uplifted Caufin"
Suddenly the rings reappeared around Razzer's body. They pushed against his frame with a power force of energy. It was a binding spell, trying to conceal the demon inside him.

He was blinded for a second, but then his vision came back. Slowly, surely, the demon was taking over his body. His vision was hazy now, and tinged with red, as if someone had put the red side of a pair of 3-D glasses in front of his eyes.
His body was convulsing as he fought to keep the demon from taking over. The demon's thoughts interrupted his, snarling at him to give it up, that he had already lost.
Then, Razzer began to drift upwards. The demon seemed as surprised as he was, meaning that it wasn't his doing.
"Don't meddle in affairs that aren't your own, pathetic human!" Razzer - the demon - snarled. The voice was slightly slurred, as his lower canines had began to enlargen, pushing out of his jaw and up near his nose. A violet light surrounded him, and three rings appeared around his person. The started pushing on him, crushing him.
Razzer choked for breath as the life was being squeezed out of him. Dead tired from his fierce mental battle with the demon, it took strength he didn't know he had to keep from losing conciousness and giving in to the demon.
"GET OUT!" Razzer screamed.
"GIVE UP, YOUR BODY IS MINE!" the demon yelled back.

The rings suddenly came into Razzer. Shooting through his body with a force, trying to conceal the demon fully without damaging Razzer too much. Hawthorn's eyes opened wide as he thrusted his hand even more forward, trying to apply as much ower as possible. He had to help him.
"RAZZER, DO IT! FORCE HIM IN!"
