-after leaving the torture chambers, Kazumei went to the center of the town. He lit a cigarette next to the monument of Sagura, and casually puffed at it. He unbuttons the cuff of his right sleeve and rolls it up, revealing black demon markings engraved in the flesh of his right forearm. He hisses at them, the markings still slightly stinging from his use of them in the torture room. With a sigh he pulls down the sleeve and refastens the cuff. He looks up at the monument and smirks- "A young queen is easily corrupted. Though it seems, my dear, that your quite distrusting of your loyal subjects. A very wise move, i must say." -he chuckles softly, smoking his cigarette, leaning against the stone base-


-Sagura walked down the path not really caring where she ended up. As she walked into the center of the village smaller demons ran away screaming

Demons: "Run for your lives, the Queen is here!!"

She just watched them and rolled her eyes
"pathetic creatures." she whispered under her breath

As she neared the center, where her statue resides, Sagura noticed a familiar figure standing by it.

"Well Kazumei, still here?"


-looks at her with bored, narrowed eyes- "Yeah, why the hell wouldn't i be? Figured I'd stick around awhile, see if i can make anything of this putrid excuse for Hell." -he finished his cig and threw it on the statue- "Why, you ready to be rid of me already?"
-smirks-


-"No nothing like that, just curious as to why you decided to stick around. I figured you would be out causing pain for some poor soul...You seem upset, is everything alright?...you met my little followers didn't you?"
she smirked she was talking about Gertrude, Angel and Sacromares


-growls- "Yes, and a foolish bunch of loyal louts they are. I want to mutilate the hell out of each and every one." -leans back his head- "Ah well, i suppose they have their uses, however pathetic they may be." -looks at her- "And as to torturing someone, I'd like to but the one i want took off to start a useless battle." -evil grin- "Bet you can guess who i mean." -he smirks-


-Sagura rolled her eyes
"Sacromares...I don't trust him, Roary told me that he wanted to help that little whelp...Faust was it? Anyway I have to keep an eye on him, he might be a traitor to Zaqqum." she thought aloud to herself


-he starts laughing- "I wouldn't doubt that! He's a slimy, putrid investigation that shouldn't even be in existence. Really, he's pathetic. I don't see why you keep him so close to you." -he runs his fingers boredly through his hair-


-"Well he does what I tell him and you know the old saying 'Keep Your Friends Close, And Your Enemies Closer' I am only monitoring him, making sure he can be trusted...if not I'll have some fun with him" she smirked

"So did you do anything in the Chambers beside watch their pathetic excuse for a torture?"


-twisted smile- "oh yes, i should them the meaning of "torture". I tortured that whelp within an inch of his life." -the smile fades- "I wanted to kill him when he was of no further use but Socramares prevented me. It pissed me off a bit but then I didn't care about the whole situation in the first place." -sighs, boredly- "Ah well, to each their own pleasures." -he looks at her with a sly grin- "And you my dear? Have a pleasant nap?" -he chuckles evilly in remembrance of their little tuffle-


-"Oh yes I feel much better now...Wait Sacromares stopped you from killing the spy? Now why would he do that?" she was getting more suspicious of Sacromares


-laughs that evil, twisted laugh- "Oh my, it seems to me that he's on their side." -smirks- "But then, i wouldn't put it past the lout. He never was up to par, from my standards. I may be your father's right hand man, but it seems to me that your closest subjects are using you and you're letting them." -sighs- "though i don't blame you for not noticing. You are still quite young." -sly smile- "I could teach you if you like. That is, if you don't mind a little bit of pain mixed with pleasure." -twisted smirk-


-"What if i told you I did know?" she asked with no expression on her face

"I'm just biding my time until they cross the line, then they will pay in the most excruciating way possible. You don't have to worry about me...not that you care anyway." she smiles


-shrugs with a smile- "suit yourself." -he smirks- "isn't it amusing? Most find it odd how i can be so bad and yet be so calm while doing it. I know for a fact it annoys Socramares." -he smirks- "But its all part of my game you see. You never know just what sort of game that it is because i play them so well." -he smiles- "Tsuzuki used to say I'm as clever as the dark lord when dealing with others. He meant it in a bad way of course, but like anything else, i took it as a compliment." -he smiles slyly- "Perhaps you wonder why i seem to be so obsessed with him. Shall i enlighten you on the subject?" -he smirks-


-"Oh yes please, tell me more about what goes on in that twisted head of yours" she crossed her arms waiting to hear his little obsession story


-he smiles slyly- "Well....to start with you'd have to know more about Tsuzuki to understand where my obsession comes from."

he pushes off from the stone and walks about- "Born in a sea of blood, a child shall come forth into the world. Tsuzuki was that child. His mind and his powers are impenetrable, so no one knows what all he is capable of. I heard of him and found where he dwelt, but when i first met him he was empty like a doll. His master was one of my teachers and i used to watch..." -he tauntingly strokes her cheek- "as he would touch the child who felt and saw nothing with those cold, empty blues eyes." -he turns away from her- "Tsuzuki is a child of prophecy, foretelling the downfall of evil. His body holds immense power and many secrets, all of which remain hidden." -strokes the rough stone base of her statue- "Those who have tried to penetrate him have all gone mad and died untimely deaths." -his eyes go distant- "Such cold, sad, eyes. Eyes that could piece a man's soul and turn it to ashes in seconds." -he smiles slyly- "But Tsuzuki apours death and bloodshed. He tries so hard to use his powers for good but when he is confronted by evil.....well, he becomes that empty, heartless doll and unleashes powers beyond imagination."

-he smirks at her- "Hard to believe, isn't it? Especially when you meet him. He seems to be nothing but an odd wandering mercenary with a kind-hearted personality that's prone to bouts of randomness."

-he smirks- "It's your choice to believe me or not, I don't care either way. my obsession with Tsuzuki is not solely based on what mysteries his body contains....but also, because he reminds me very much of myself. Two dark, sadly twisted souls cursed to walk the earth in hopes of finding our redemption."

-he looks at her with a smile- "Quit an amusing tale isn't it? Tsuzuki, for all his kindness, has had but one love in his life and i, heartless as i am, took that love away from him." -he smiles evilly- "It gave me much pleasure ripping open her throat with my bare hands and watching Tsuzuki twist in agony." -he chuckles evilly- "I am, quite heartless you know." -he walks up to her and strokes her cheek, tauntingly- "what is it you desire, my dear? Do you desire nihilism? Do you desire redemption?" -he smirks-


-She listened to his tale, after he finished she moved his hand away from her face.

"Redemption...or End of all Life. I must say that is quite easy to answer. I Choose Nihilism, seeing all life end would make my day. If only those Cretans from Magicoz went then I would be happy...for once" she trailed off, the last part not really loud

"I must say that you lived quite a life before coming to hell to serve under Lucifer, I mean my father. Have you found this..Tsuzuki anywhere near by, or are you still searching for him?"


-smiles that evil, twisted smile- "oh, i found him. He resides in Magicoz... for the moment. I'm in no hurry to pursue him. Let him have his moment of freedom, i can wait. He really isn't that hard for me to find actually. I'm sure he wishes he could elude me for good but...I'm too good for that."

he smiles at her quick brush of his hand- "Yes well....to each their own punishments. I, too, desire nihilism. I seem to constantly commit sins, yet each time i am reborn anew, only to commit more sins and be washed clean again. It's a vicious cycle and i love it." -he laughs evilly- "were it not for these sins, life itself would be meaningless. To me, life is meant to be broken and twisted. Each day it is corrupted and yet each day life begins anew, repeating the cycle over and over for eternity. Were it not for this, the very meaning of existence itself would be pointless. And so it is, but not every life is so. There are some who, if corrupted enough, could become very valuable to the succession of one's desires. It is this very thing that impassions me, and i find myself lusting for it more and more."

evil chuckle, then sighs- "oh yes, it stokes my inner fires. I live to hear the screams as i bend and break a person with a mere flick of my wrist. I love to watch them writhe in agony." -evil laugh- "however, I'm not some fool like that Socramares to waste my time on meaningless battles. I prefer to use my gifts in a more.......pleasurable manner, you see?" -he smirks-

he looks at her with cold, twisted silver eyes and that evil, heartless smile, casually leaning against the stone base of her statue with the moon shining down on his silver hair, giving him a sinister look. He looks like an angel who's wings of silver deceive the unwary-


-"Yes indeed. I am starting to wonder if Sacromares has what it takes to be the General of my Mega-minions. He seems to be becoming very distant, like he wishes to be elsewhere. Maybe I should send him to Magicoz to stay."

Sagura began thinking of what to do with Sacromares, she couldn't trust him anymore, she has seen him acting suspicious

She snapped out of it and turned walking a few steps. She stayed silent


-looks at her curiously- "is something on your mind, my dear?" -smirks- "i hope i haven't said anything to upset you too much." -slight chuckle. He pulls out another cigarette and casually smokes it, looking at the sky, thinking of nothing at all in particular-


-"I'm just thinking about what to do with Sacromares, he is starting to act very suspicious, I'm not sure I can trust him anymore." she turned to face Kaz

"You know him a little, what do you think?"


-quirks an eyebrow at her- "you are asking me what I think you should do?" -laughs- "well, as to Socramares, i frankly wouldn't give a damn. it's really up to you whether you wish to wait and see if he turns on you or if he is, in fact, loyal to you. I don't know him that well. We crossed paths once or twice and never saw eye to eye. I was a slave to your father at the time and he was, to me, confused as to whether he wished to be evil or not." -shrugs- "it's your decision to make, not mine." -sly smile- "though i am touched that you would ask for my opinion." -evil chuckle-


-"You could have just said you have no clue" She turned away thinking

*Maybe I'll go watch him, see what he's up too when not around me*


-smirks- "I never said i didn't have a clue what to do. I just said it's not up to me and i don't give a damn." -laughs- "you get quite a bit defensive sometimes don't you?"
-laughs-


-"What can I say..it's in my nature. With the devil as your father you would too."


-laughs that evil laugh- "yes, well, I know enough about him to understand well how he is." -he walks up behind her and whispers in her ear- "tell me my dear....do i make you nervous?" -chuckles evilly-


-"I know that's what you want to believe, but it's not the case. You just irritate me at times. Sorry to disappoint you." she smiled evilly


-smiles, then walks away- "ah, is that it then?" -he smirks, looking at the sky. He finishes his cigarette and flicks it away- "I suppose i should leave you to your ponderings then." -sighs- "well then, i bid thee adieu." -starts to walk away-


- She turned back to him
"You wouldn't happen top know where Sacroamres is at this precise moment would you?"


-looks back at her- "he let that imp go free back to Magicoz and went with him i suppose." -shrugs- "good luck finding him, though i doubt you'll need it." -smirks with a wave over his head and heads for the city gates with a swish of his white coat-


-"He did what?" she said to herself aloud

"That Son of a...now I'm sure he's up to no good."
She headed back to her castle
