Steve and Wilson both waited in the car as Zakk walked Sorin back to his room.
"Thanks, Zakk..."
"You're welcome. Look... just go and get some sleep. You should hopefully feel better tomorrow morning... Okay."
Zakk then exited the room, but before closing the door, he took one more look at Sorin. "I'm gonna go head on out home. If you need anything, just call me, and I'll try to get in touch with you the best I can."

"Give Wilson a kiss for me!" He said, giggling. "Kidding... Bye, Zakk!"
After Zakk left, he had a ringing in his ears. His eyes were killing him. He got up to get a glass of water, and to take a pain pill. He sat in the kitchen for a moment, and set the glass in the sink, before heading to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror, turning on the light. He was a little stunned. Was he crazy, or was his left eye turning blue...?"
"I must be really drunk..." He said, heading back to the bed. He took off all of his clothes, this time even his udnerwear, and went under the covers. It wasn't long till he was fast asleep.

After visiting with Elysium, Sorin finally arrived at home. He got in the elevator, and pressed the button to his floor. When the doors opened, he walked out, and headed towards his apartment. Although, he stopped, when he noticed a man standing there. Sorin walked up to him, "Can I help you!?" The man was wearing casual clothes, a button up shirt, and khakis. He turned, smiling. "...Claudio...?" Sorin blushed, smiling nervously. "H-How did you find my apartment!?" He asked, looking down.
"I just know these things..." He said, grinning. "Can I come in...?" He asked.
Sorin scoffed, "Me dressed like this...? You're lucky to see me at all..." He unlocked the door, and opened it. Claudio raised a brow, "You are very concerned with your appearance.." He said, walking behind Sorin into his apartment. Claudio shut the door. Sorin laughed, "Good observation, Sherlock... Let me change..." He said.
Claudio sat down, looking around. "Are you moving...?" He asked. "Yeah..!" Sorin yelled out, coming out in a pair of skinny jeans and no shirt. "I need coffee..." He muttered, "I went to the hospital, my cousin was attacked..." Claudio raised his brows, "What!?" Sorin shook his head, "She's fine... My uncle made it sound like a bigger deal than it was, I mean It was a big deal, but... like she's not dead or paralyzed.." He turned around, to see Claudio standing in front him. "....or changed in any way that's serious..." He finished. Claudio chuckled, putting his hands through Sorin's hair.
"You look absolutely beautiful..." He said, smiling. Sorin immediately blushed. He always got sexy, nice ass, or something even cruder, but never beautiful... He smiled. "Thankyou..." Claudio gave him a kiss on the forehead, and then backed off. Sorin sighed, and turned back around to finish making his coffee.
"Where are you going..?" Claudio asked. Sorin giggled, "I think you know where mister knows everything.." He turned back around, and leaned against the counter.
"Italy..." Sorin said. Claudio grinned, "Why that's just where I happen to live...!" Sorin shook his head, "It is isn't it...?" Sorin walked over to Claudio, and wrapped his arms around his waist. "So... Are you telling my dad that you're trying to bonk his son...? Cause I'm sure he wouldn't want that..."
Claudio laughed. "Antonio will approve.... In every way..." Sorin rolled his eyes, "As if... He had a coworker hit on me once, he got fired that day..." Claudio looked up, "Well..." He then brought his eyes back down to Sorin, "Your dad can't fire me, so... I guess He'll just have to deal with it..." Sorin smiled, leaning against him. The two shared a kiss. "....God I don't even know.." Sorin backed away. "I met you yesterday... This is lust, not love..." He said.
Claudio nodded. "I'll change your mind..." He said. "I'll explain in the future, but.... something tells me in the coming days, you'll know what I mean..." Sorin pursed his lips, "Cryptic." He placed Claudio's hands on his waist. "But I like it... Even if you're being really creepy and stepping over boundaries... I like you a lot..." He said. Claudio smiled. "I know..."

Lei arrived at Sorin's apartment. He parked the car, and got out as he then knocked on the door and waited for Sorin or Claudio to answer.
"If he's not there, what then?"
Lei shrugged. "I guess I could check with Antonio."
"And that is..."
"Sorin's father..."
"Hmm..."

"Antonio...?" She asked. When Fulong asked, Lei responded that Antonio was their father. She had her suspicions, but... She remembered the attack on Giorgia well, and the name of her child. She couldn't tell them, incase she was wrong... But she would bring it up if it turned out to be him.
She crossed her arms as she waited...

As they waited, there was no reply. So Lei assumed that nobody was home.
"Well, looks like we should go try Antonio, then." Lei suggested. "Maybe I should call, hm?"
"Yeah. That would be wise."
Lei then dialed for Antonio.

Drusilla tapped her foot as she waited.
After a few rings, Antonio finally answered. "Hello?"

"Hey, Antonio! I would like to ask you if you know anything about Claudio... and Also... there are some important things I should tell you as well... Best I tell you in person."
'Why are you beating around the bush?' Fulong asked his brother in Mandarin.
Lei covered the receiver, to reply, 'You don't just go around telling people that their son has been possessed by a demon over the phone!'
'I would. It get my point across.'
'Right... sure...'
Lei then switched back to English. "Sorry about that, Antonio. A bit of a sibling squabble..."

"Claudio..?" He asked. He was then interrupted, before he could say anything regarding being told something in person. When Lei returned, he finally answered. "That's okay... You can come by, I'm at home packing... I'm heading back home to Malcesini, Italy... Sorin should be by in a little while... As for Claudio, he's an old friend, why do you need to know about him?" He asked.
Drusilla was listening in, and pulled Fulong aside.
"...If that's the man I'm thinking of, he's an exorcist... The son of the former leader, Giorgia Rossi..." She looked around, "He knows Claudio, that proves it... This is not good..." Why would the Espelhar want the grandchild of Giorgia? It made no sense...

"I need to know where he and Sorin are. Because it is very important that I speak with them both, and you as well."
"...If that's the man I'm thinking of, he's an exorcist... The son of the former leader, Giorgia Rossi... He knows Claudio, that proves it... This is not good..."
"What do you mean?"

"Well... I'll give Sorin a call, and tell him to come over..." He said. "I'll see you soon, Lei..."
He hung up, and Drusilla ran over to Lei. "Did you find them!?" She asked. "I have a theory...." She crossed her arms, "I think the demon is going to attack the Exorcists...." She placed her hands on her head. "This is terrible..."

"Later." Lei hung up.
"I have a theory.... I think the demon is going to attack the Exorcists...."
"Yes, that's exactly what's going to happen. The Xié'è Jìngzi is going to attack those who can stop him. Including my family, and the Exorcists."
"Well, we better get there before the demon does it." Lei then hurriedly rushed to his car, Fulong following him, as well.

Drusilla nodded, and rushed to the car. She got in the back seat, and prayed for a good outcome...

Sorin laid in his bed. His eyes stared at the ceiling. He had no idea how to process anything that had happened over the course of only a few days. His life was completely upside down. He sat up, rubbing his face. His eyes were red from the tears he cried all morning. He groggily looked towards the general direction of his front door when he heard a knock. He sat up, not even bothering to throw on his robe. He peaked through the eye hole, and it was Claudio. Sorin took a deep breath, and opened the door. "Yes..?" He said, looking down.
Claudio didn't have words to say, he only wondered why Sorin was so sad.
"I haven't known you for too long, but something tells me something is wrong..." He said, tilting his head. "Everyone is looking for you.." Sorin muttered as he walked to the couch, leaving the door open. Claudio stepped inside, shutting the door behind him. He sat down next to Sorin, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Tell me..." He said, feeling concerned.
Sorin took a deep breath. He turned to Claudio, "My brother is possessed by a demon that you apparently faced years ago.... The Espelhar..." He said, quietly.
Claudio's eyes widened, "...What?" He looked down, staring off into space. "B-But I banished i--" Sorin cut him off, "It obviously came back..." He said. "There's a woman, her name is Drusilla... She was possessed by this thing first, when you banished it... Lei, his brother Fulong, and Dad are all looking for you..." He said. Claudio furrowed his eyebrows, "...But why your brother..? I don't understand..?" Sorin shrugged. "Probably because he has the Devil Gene..."
Claudio nodded, "That's a possibility..." He turned his attention back to Sorin. "I will find this demon, and I will banish it from your brother..." He stood up. "Where is this creature...?" He asked. Sorin laughed. "I don't know..." He stood up, walking to his bedroom. He laid back down on his bed, and held his pillow close. Claudio sighed, going into the bedroom. "Sorin... I will find him.. We will help him. Get dressed. We shall go to Antonio and the Lei's." He said. Claudio had a deep sinking feeling. The last time he faced this demon, it killed Giorgia, Salvi, and dozens of other Archers. There was no telling what this thing could do. This was the first priority.
Sorin didn't get up, he only started crying. Claudio didn't know what to do. He walked to the edge of the bed, and sat down. He placed his hand on Sorin's side, who got closer to Claudio. Sorin laid his head in Claudio's lap. "I never in my life could have imagined anything so terrible..." He said between sobs. "It's all my fault, I should have just left well enough alone... I couldn't even face my mother to tell her the truth..."
Claudio clenched his jaw. He felt for Sorin indeed. First things first, He needed to not just banish this thing. He needed to destroy it. The original host may be the key to that. "Sorin... We will get your brother back. It is what I do. I banish evil... At any cost..." Sorin closed his eyes. He didn't know what to do.

Sorin had fallen asleep for a few hours, but Claudio wasn't there. He looked around, but then heard Claudio quietly talking in his living room. He narrowed his eyes, listening to the conversation.
"Yes... This is very bad... Look, I'm here for another... I need to return to his corporation, and handle it... No your information will serve useful. Thankyou..." He said, before hanging up the phone. He held the phone in his hand, before turning over to see Sorin looking at him. He walked through the door, and sat next to him on the bed. "...I need to return to the Zaibatsu..." He said. "But, I can come back..." He said, before Sorin got up. "I'll go with you..." He said, grabbing some clothes to put on. Claudio gave a small frown, "Are you sure that's a good idea...?" He asked.
Sorin frowned, putting on a white t shirt. "I need to talk to my Aunt..." He said, putting on jeans and some black boots. He threw on a red trench coat, and brushed his fingers through his hair. Claudio stood up, and turned Sorin around. "Are you sure..? I have to talk to them about things that you may not want to hear about..." He said. Sorin stared blankly at him. "I just need to talk to my Aunt Nina. I'm sure she can spare me a few minutes..." He said, grabbing his wallet and phone. "It's the least she owes my mother..." He said, brushing past Claudio. The Italian grabbed Sorin's arm, spinning the latter around to face him once more.
Sorin glanced up into Claudio's eyes. He was slightly taller than Sorin, and as such, the young man fell into the taller's embrace. Sorin laid his head on Claudio's shoulder. "...How do you make me feel so safe...?" He asked. Claudio chuckled. "...I'm not sure... Maybe I just have a kind face.." But Claudio knew. He always knew. He took a deep sigh, remembering the light of Sirius showing him Sorin's face time and time again as he searched for Salvi's soul.
Claudio then guided Sorin to the hall outside, where Sorin locked the door. "Your Aunt is Nina Williams, yes..?" Claudio asked. Sorin nodded. "Yeah..." He smiled a little. "I don't really like her all that much. She was my boss too for a while there..." He said.
Claudio laughed. "She's not the nicest woman I've ever met... I hope whatever you need to talk to her about goes well..." He said. Sorin shrugged. "I hope so..."
