Black stared at the mark on his hand, horrified and disbelieving at the words the<span style="font-style: italic">human</span>across from him was spouting. He started standing up, about to run away and go back home, but Ijemaru wasn't having any of that.<br/><br/>The light-haired human gave a smirk. "Sit, Black," he commanded. Immediately, against his will, the demon sat. The demon looked down at his chair then back up at the human with a piercing look of hatred.<br/><br/>"It really is convenient," the human goaded. "All I have to do is give a command and say your name and you have no choice." He narrowed his eyes at the demon, "This might have been easier for you if you'd just accepted my offer. I don't think I've introduced myself yet," he went on, "my name is Ijemaru Hisuka. You can either call me Ijemaru or Master. It's your choice."<br/><br/>The demon gave no response, simply glaring at the human boy. Ijemaru returned the glare with a smirk. A moment later, the door opened and the two automatically turned to see who'd entered. The events escalated until one demon was holding a squirrel Anithrope by the neck. Black turned to Ijemaru, "What shall I do,<span style="font-style: italic">master</span>?" he said, pouring every ounce of loathing and disdain that he could into the world.<br/><br/>Ijemaru took up a glass of water and casually took a sip. "Nothing yet," he said idly. "It's not our problem."<br/><br/>Well it didn't stay that way for long. Almost immediately after the order was given, demons rushed into the inn, aiming to attack everyone inside. The paladin Black had come upon earlier was the first to make a lethal move, slicing a demon clean in half.<br/><br/>Another demon came toward their own table, aiming an attack at the human boy from the side. Ijemaru had no weapons drawn and no defenses up, and he wasn't in a position to move for either. Black silently hoped the boy would die then and there and his problems would be over. His hopes were soon destroyed.<br/><br/>"Kill him, Black." Immediately, Black jumped out of his seat. He placed himself between the charging demon and Ijemaru and drew his collapsible battle staff, using it to block the demon's sword. Without missing a beat, Black sent a rush of electricity up his own weapon, down his adversary's and into the opposing demon's body. Black didn't use enough power to kill the demon, that would be wasteful and would weaken him, if only a bit. The demon collapsed to the ground and black thrust the end of his battle staff into its chest, killing it instantly.<br/><br/>"Well now it's our business," Ijemaru said, laughing slightly. "Fight them, Black."<br/><br/>Black glowered at the human, though he only had a brief moment to do so. Against his will, he rushed off into battle. Since the paladin had already displayed his strength, most of the attackers seemed to be focused on him. Somehow, Black ended up in the center of the circle with the elf, fighting back to back with him.<br/><br/>"Well," Black said, stabbing a demon with the end of his staff. "I found out who called me here. I'll gladly introduce you two if you'll kill him for me."<br/><br/>------------------<br/><br/>Ijemaru laughed and took a sip of water as he watched the live fight scene before him. It was actually very entertaining. One demon made his way toward the light-haired human and was met with a dagger in its forehead before it got close enough to do any damage. "Don't disturb me when I'm being entertained," he said, though he knew the creature could no longer hear him.
