A 4 story hotel at the corner of 8th and Pine. It's cheap but presentable, though don't be expecting 5 star service while you're here.

Raditz walked into the hotel invisable, truning Lucy Invisiable as well so that he could get her upstairs without any issues... When he opened the door to the room he slowly walked over to the bed and layed her down on it with a sigh... Couldn't things have just decided to stay bad enough? Nope... Satan himself just so happens to frequent Kami's club... Figures...
So he turned his head slightly and closed the door with what minor telekinesis he had before returning them to the visable spectrum and putting his hand over where she had been hit, starting with a cure minor wounds for the physical wound, and then kneeling down to try and channel a Restoration spell, hoping to either wake her up or remove any effects he had left on her, though he wasn't holding his breath on the second goal...
"I'm so sorry Lucy..."

Her eyes fluttered open when he healed her wounds. She sat up quickly, not knowing where she was. After a moment of confusion, she looked to Raditz.
"What happened? Where.. where is that man? That awful man..."

Raditz sighed slowly as he leaned back to, more or less, fall into a sitting position with his knee bent up sightly and his hands to each side, pressed against the floor to support him.
"No more drinking games with Satan ok? Literally."
He tried to let it out as a joke, but he was still so concerned about the man's last words that he couldn't keep his voice from shaking, fear and adrenaline causing it.

"I... I'm so hot... it's burning up in here." She pulled at her shirt, trying to get it off of her body. As she did this, her hair was pulled back from her neck. One by one, they became visable. The marks, resembling tattoos. All black, all setting her whole body on fire.    The first one was positioned on her right ankle, the second around her belly button, and the third, each was positioned on either side of her neck. She looked in horror at each of the ones she could see, which right now were only the ones on her belly button and ankle. She didn't even notice the ones on her neck. "What happened?"

Raditz jumped up when she lit on fire and imediatly swore out loud in draonic, something about wishing that man every pain sufferable in existance for all of time... But he made sure that as he did this, he was doing all he could to put out the flames.
"Satan knocked you out and I played dice with him to keep him from taking you off as his latest sex toy that's what happened." came his worried and now slightly panicked response. He knew that the tattoo's were not a good thing at all but he was trying to get the imediate issue taken care of and that would be fire... If smothering the fire with a blanket didn't work he would cast Create water over her so she became rather drenched in it, then cast Bless Water in an attempt to disrupt whatever was happening.

The flames quickly extinguished themselves and were left bright red for a moment before going back to black.
"What.. what did he do to me?"
She shook in disbelief. Leave it to her to approach the devil himself. She was scared. She knew something inside of her was changed, but had no idea what. Tears filled her eyes in what seemed like the hundredth time in the last few days.
"You... you must think I am the weakest person you know. I'm so sorry. I wish we were back in our own time, before we decided to come here. Be... before everything."

Raditz sighed in relief when the flames went out, but when he heard what she was saying he looked toher with a look of such utter disbelief that he felt bad for it...
So he knelt on the best next to her and put a hand on each of her cheeks to make him look at her while he fought to not start crying himself... They were both on the brink of just losing it lately...
"You're not weak, I know that for a fact so don't you start that bull s**t with me Lucy! You had no clue who that was and it was MY idea to come back here. It's MY fault we can't find Livvie and if I hadn't left you wouldn't have gone over to that man... So you had better not start blaming yourself..."
The whole time he was talking he was getting more and more upset, the tears coming down gradually faster until he leaned closer to pull her closer so he could hug her, "I'm so sorry for all of this..."

She held him close, extremely suprised to see him cry. Softly, she whispered into his ear.
"What do you think he did to me? I feel it. It isn't just the tattoos. It's a darkness that was always there, but now.. now I can feel it more. It's stronger."
She pulled away from him for a moment to gaze into his eyes, not sure of what to do next.

Raditz shuddered slightly now... He'd been trying too hard to make sure he was ok around her, to support her... And he'd really only made himself snap for now... So though he looked back at her eyes, he shook his head slowly, "I don't know... I honestly don't know..." then he lowered his head and took in a shuddering breath before he sobbed once, then leaned against her, trying to hug her so close that it was almost like trying to pull her into himself...
"Maybe Raz is still alive? Or we could talk to Magik? Alex? Adama? Someone... Anyone..."
He was finally getting tired of being the one who could stay calm all the time... That was something he shared with Livvie and now it all fell on him... At least that's what it felt like now. Though he knew that Lucy was hurt by all of this even more than he was and that only made himself think he was being over-reactive...
But he was scared... She'd already died once, been ressurected and walked around for days in pitiful condition... And now this? Why was everything so cruel to her?

((Simple, because teh Kams likes torturing her characters.))
Lucy laid back on the pillow now, trying to clear her head.
"If only there was a simple answer to every problem. Life would be so much easier. Or at least, an answer to what happened to me. I... I never told you the source of some of my power..."
It was true. Raditz knew Lucy well, but didn't know that she was demonic. A lesser demon, but still a demon at that. She had told him about her vampiric powers and her kitsune abilities, but explained everything else as her mage part. How untrue that was...
"I... I do derive most of my powers from being a decendant of mages, but... but also from something else. My mother... she passed something off to me that Livvy didn't get. Raditz..."
She looked up at him now, the fear showing in her eyes.
"I... I'm a demon. I don't even know what kind, really. I only know that before I met you, I hadn't been the best of people. I... I killed."
A tear rolled down her cheek as she spoke.
"And though my life was changed around by my grandfather, the part of me that was dorment feels stronger now. The darkness. I..."

Raditz layed next to her on his side, curling up against her, seeking comfort and offering it at the same time as he was reduced to a quivering heap of a body next to her.
"But you're different now... I've done things I'm ashamed of, but you're ok... It doesn't matter how you were born Lucy and you know that... Just because something's a part of you doesn't mean you have to act that way... You're too stubborn to give in to something like that... And I've known you my whole life Lucy, I've gotten into all kinds of trouble with you and always been smiling... And I love you... I just don't want you to have to go through all of this anymore... You don't deserve it."

"About... about what you said earlier. I'm sorry, I just didn't think we were really... you know... a couple. I mean, sure, we did it. But, well... you never asked me out. And you definitely never asked me to be your girlfriend or anything..."
She bit her lip, secretly not wanting to bring this up but knowing she had to.

Raditz nodded and aside from that, had stopped shaking now... As he realized she was right... So as he added another notch of how he'd messed up in the last few weeks he slowly propped himself up so he could look down to her and then lean over to rest his fore-head against hers.
"I'm sorry Lucy... You shouldn't apologize... I assumed again... s.... So, would you like to be with me? More than friends... In a relationship, as my girlfriend?"
He didn't like how that came out though... Sounded like asking for ownership or something... But hey, at least it was out there now right?

She yawned softly as she curled up into him as well. It had been such a long day for her.
"I... sure.. I would... love... to..."
Her eyes such and she found herself drifting off almost immediately, feeling more comfortable now than she had in a while.
