I Like to Watch:

Simone’s Notes:

Voyeurism is a practice in which an individual derives sexual pleasure from observing other people. Such people may be engaged in sexual acts, or be nude or in underwear, or dressed in whatever other way the "voyeur" finds appealing. The word derives from French verb voir (to see) with the -eur suffix that translates as -er in English. A literal translation would then be “seer” or "observer", with pejorative connotations. Also, the word voyeur can define someone who receives enjoyment from witnessing other people's suffering or misfortune; see schadenfreude.

Alex was finally free to go home. He made it home by morning. As it turns out, Allen had been phoning missing persons every single day to find where Alex went to. The man was really worried about the boy. The stepfather was about to lose hope. He even began to fear the worst. When Alex unlocked the door and opened in the morning, Allen was overjoyed to his stepson again alive. He hugged him tightly in his arms.

“Alex!” he exclaimed happily. “What happened to you? I was so worried about you!” The lamb was too tired to even talk at all. Allen just took him inside and cared for the boy’s every need. Alex didn’t argue at all as Allen fussed over him. He was just glad to be home again. Mind you, Ella didn’t let him go all alone because he was still in grave danger. So went to Aizen Myo-o Academy first thing in the morning. She made it straight up to Mother Superior’s office. The deity how only one simple request.

“You want me to send some of my students for security?” Mother Superior asked Ella in shock.

“This is really important to him and us!” Ella reasoned. “Alex has already been attacked under our watch. He wanted to go home, but we can’t leave him be.”

“But why my girls?” the headmistress asked.

“You are the only other guys walking on this case that we know of,” Ella replied. “I want to leave Alex in care that I can trust.” Mother Superior took a moment to consider this.

“How you talked to Syd about this?” she asked. Ella shook her head child-like. The headmistress smiled at her.

“Okay then,” she said. “I’ll send Shane and Dana to keep a close watch over Alex.” Ella smiled back gratefully.

“Thank you, ma’am,” she said as she bowed. “I will know he’s safe now!”

“Nice to help you out when Syd’s not involved!” Mother Superior replied. The deity just smiled. A little bit of kindness goes a long way. If only Syd would figure that one out…

Mustang stared at Yasmine blankly.

“What?!?” he asked her in shock.

“It’s the truth,” the deity told him. “The killings are being done by blood-drinking incubi ans succubi.” Roy stared at her for a long time. Usually, he would shrug off some notions such as this. But now after all that he had seen lately, he didn’t know what to believe anymore. He was just desperate for a break in the case before more people turned up dead. Yasmine looked back him. She expected him to rebuff her or at least laugh. But instead, Mustang kept looking at her, waiting for her to go on. Yas decided to do so.

“Well,” she began. “You know those strange marks on the people’s and Edward’s bodies?”

“Yes,” Roy answered. “What about them?” Yasmine pulled out Alessia’s drawing from her waist bag and set in down on his desk over the pictures. Mustang looked closely at the fallen mark. This was just like the mark he had been seeing on some of the people in Central.

“This is the mark of the fallen,” Yasmine explained. “This is what identifies the incubi and succubi to everyone that sees them.” Roy looked at her with shocked eyes. He kept looking at her speechless. Yas continued on.

“They feed on human blood,” she explained. “It’s just like vampirism!”

“So that explains the bite marks in the victims’ necks!” Mustang exclaimed. He looked right at Yasmine again.

“But how do these incubi and succubi as you call them keep appearing?” the lt. gen. asked her. Yasmine’s face became even paler.

“They seduce or force their victims into mating with them,” she answered him. “Then they bite into their necks, drink their blood, and give it back mixed with their own.” It was all sinking into Mustang heavily. It was all making sense now. These seductive beings with this damning mark on their bodies were monsters of the fallen. That could only mean one thing…

“Does that mean Edward is…” he began to ask.

“I’m afraid so,” Yasmine answered. Mustang seemed to have all of the pieces together in his head. But yet there was one question in his head that just wouldn’t go away.

“Why are you telling me all of this?” he asked. Yasmine just shrugged.

“We are all on the same team here,” she reasoned. “It wouldn’t be fair to hold out on crucial information.” Then she turned to the door to leave.

“And besides,” she said for the long time. “I would hate to see you or anymore of your man fall into the enemy’s hands.” Then, the deity left for the night. Mustang sat alone in his office in over his head. He was trained to fight in war, but against lust and desire? Were he and his men up to it?

Then, Mustang toughened up again. Of course they could do it! Being in the military always meant running into new challenges. This experience would help him and his men even more. He just had to work with Yasmine and her friends.

Meanwhile in the morning, Shane and Dana were watching Alex get out of bed in the morning. Mother Superior put the new assignments in their boxes over night. The next thing these deities knew, they were here on guard duty. Shane was pretty overjoyed to get out of the Love Lab once in a while. Dana, on the other hand, felt a little guilty about doing this. Shane noticed her face.

“Dana,” she spoke up. “What’s wrong?” The second year student turned her stressed.

“It just doesn’t feel right,” she answered. The tech deity raised an eyebrow at her.

“What do you mean?” she asked. Dana’s grey-blue eyes seemed to mirror her stress.

“It just feels like we’re stalking,” she said. Shane smiled at her easily.

“Aw don’t worry,” she said. “It’s not stalking. We’re just secret service to the lamb.”

“I know,” Dana said as she was twirling her long brown hair. “But still…”

“We are just here to watch,” her friend reminded her. “And nothing else. He doesn’t even have to know that we are watching him. We just have to keep Alex safe.” Dana just nodded at that final revelation as shifted her dark blue and light green kimono.

“Okay,” she said. Then the two of them went back on there guard duty. However, they weren’t the only ones watching Little Alex. Little Iris and Azrael were watching their little pet as well. They were getting aroused in the process. That was until they saw the two love deities.

“It’s half wit and someone we don’t know!” Little Iris pointed out.

“I see,” Azrael replied. “And I don’t really care.”

“Why does that loser academy have to spoil everything?” the succubus complained. “They always ruin my hottest fantasies!” The incubus just shrugged.

“You think I know?” he asked. Little Iris just pouted.

“Want me to kill ‘em?” she asked eagerly. Azrael held up his hand.

“No, we stick to the plan,” he said. “We watch him all day and then move onto him at night. Besides, they can’t do anything if we don’t move first.” Little Iris considered all of this. Then she smiled brightly.

“Okay!” she said child-like. “We’ll wait!” Azrael smiled back at her.

“Good,” he replied. Little Iris cuddled close to him. The incubus lightly patted her on the head. His fellow slave looked up at him with sweet doe eyes.

“So what are we going to do with little Alex tonight?” she asked in excitement. Azrael smiled and lightly kissed her on the lips. He leaned over to her ear and whispered to her. Little Iris smiled in happy delight. Azrael lightly pulled away. His little slave looked up at him in bliss.

“That’s a great plan!” she chirped. Azrael just kept smiling.

“I know,” he said. “I know.”

On the other side, Shane and Dana saw the two fallen ones. Dana began to draw out her sword to attack, but Shane held out her arm to stop her. The second year student looked at her confused. Shane shook her head at her.

“We can’t move until they do,” she explained. Dana thought about that for a moment and put her sword away. Shane slowly lowered her arm. They both went back to watching over Alex.

“WHY?!?” Syd yelled out in frustration at Yasmine. She had told him what she had done last night.

“He had to know,” Yas reached with her boss. “We can’t string them in the dark forever!”

“But that wasn’t part of the plan!” Syd barked. “I didn’t attention drawn to us at all.” He sat back completely annoyed. But that was only part one. Ella came in at the “right” moment. The other two deities looked up quickly. Ella stood in the doorway looking around. Her bloke looked at her in suspicion.

“Where did you disappear to last night?” he asked. His bird kept her smile.

“Aizen Myo-o Academy!” she replied. His eyes grew big in shock.

“Where?” he asked as if he didn’t hear her the first time. Ella kept smiling at him.

“Aizen Myo-o Academy!” she repeated. Syd’s face dropped.

“Why?” he asked in suspicion. Ella stepped forward.

“To talk to Mother Superior about getting Alex some protect while he was at home,” she answered. The bloke fell back in stress. He gave out a scream-groan. Ella looked at him innocently.

“What’s wrong, darlin’?” she asked. Syd groaned out loud again. That only meant one thing now. He and Shane would be crossing paths more often. The bloke groaned out loud again. These two birds have taken over the mission. How did he lose control? The bloke sighed again. This was just so wrong on so many levels!

Day flew by quickly. Night fallen upon the city. Little Iris and Azrael were waiting for Alex to get right to the front door of his house. They would attack him in the front yard. They even had a special little tool to use for tonight. The trap was set. All they needed now was the pet himself.

Then in he came. Alex was walking up his driveway. He wasn’t aware of anybody watching him at all. Shane and Dana kept up with him the whole time. So far, nothing bad had happened to him. The boy even believed that his life would be going back to normal again. But not for long…

Alex was almost at his front door when he felt someone grab him from behind and drag from straight down to the ground. The lamb tried to fight back, but it was effortless. They proved to be much too strong for him. Alex was forced to his feet again and looking up. Azrael was looking at him smirking. Worry filled Alex right away. “Not this again!” he thought. Azrael leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. That seemed to calm him down some. Then the incubus slowly pulled away. He struck the boy violently. Alex winced in pain. He didn’t cry out at all this time. The incubus smirked at him wickedly.

“Edward has trained you well!” he hissed at him. Alex looked at him in misery.

“What do you want with me?” the boy whimpered. The incubus moved in close to his face. He could almost taste Alex’s fear. It made him want to screw him right here on the spot. But why act on the fun himself tonight? That would completely go against the whole plan. Azrael smiled at him wickedly and looked above him. Against his better judgment, Alex looked up as well. Little Iris was holding him firmly in place. Now, the lamb was really worried. She was smiling at him wickedly too.

“Iris,” Azrael ordered the succubus. “Take him over to our little ‘gift’ for him!”

“Too right!” Little Iris replied. Then she dragged Alex down the driveway. Their pet for the night was really in a panic now. Anything for him usually had something unpleasant attached to it. He didn’t even want to think about what they had for him tonight. They all came into the grass near the bushes. Alex was surprised to find a young girl on her knees in the grass before them. She was close to his age. All the girl had on was a paper thin sheet draped around her small developing body. The pet was still crying from the beating she took earlier. Azrael walked forward and smacked her in the face. She began to cry even more. The incubus hit her again. Her tears became heavier. Alex couldn’t take the abuse anymore.

“Stop it!” he yelled out. “You’re hurting her!” Little Iris kneed him in the back really hard. The lamb gasped out in heavy pain. Little Iris leaned down to his ear.

“There is more where that came from if you shout out like that again.” she whispered to him in a bitter tone. Alex recovered a little bit. He bit his lip in pain and nodded. Little Iris smiled at his reply.

“Good!” she hissed to him. Azrael turned to the succubus and motioned her closer. Little Iris pushed Alex forward and let him go. The boy nearly stumbled over. The two monsters eyed him. Azrael grabbed him by the shoulder and slowly dragged the lamb forward to the girl.

“You see this pretty girl?” Azrael asked the little pet. Alex was too afraid to speak. He just nodded in pale sickness. The incubus smiled at him.

“Very good, Little Alex,” he hissed to him. The monster dragged him even closer to the girl. Alex was standing directly over her. The girl was now crying and trembling. Azrael leaned down to his ear.

“We want to see you f**k her!” he purred softly. The boy looked up at him wide-eyed.

“In front of you guys?!?” he asked in fear. Azrael nodded. Alex began to feel even sicker.

“You want me to sleep with her… in front of you and her?!?” he asked again.

“Yes!” Azrael answered again. Alex went pale again. He suffered enough by them. But this… was just disgusting! How… How could they? This was worse than what Edward would do to him! Azrael cleared his throat loudly. Alex turned back to him.

“Well!” the monster said aloud. “Come on! Get it on!” Alex sighed in misery. There was no way to escape this now. It was either act on this request or suffer more pain in the end. He knelt down to the fellow pet. She looked at him wide-eyed. Alex could see that she was just as scared as he was. “I don’t want this as you do.” his eyes seemed to tell her.

“Well come on!” Little Iris shouted out. “I want you to heat my blood up tonight!” Alex swallowed hard. He lightly pushed the girl onto her back onto the ground. The boy leaned in close to her ear.

“I’ll only pretend to be screwing you,” he whispered to her. “I don’t want to do this either. So just play along with me for both of our sakes, okay?” The girl nodded desperately. Alex climbed on top of her and undid his pants fully. He slowly drew his good man out to do the pretend work to keep the monsters happy for the time being. The girl began crying again. The lamb looked at her in pity.

“I am so sorry about this!” he kept whispering to her over and over again. He held onto her shoulders and only went in shallowly. Alex began pulling in and out in slow movements. He decided to pull out before he came to save her from further disgrace. The girl just shut her eyes with her tears still streaming. The two monsters were drooling happily. The black and red in were swirling rapidly in their eyes. They wanted to just in on the action. But they had to hold back. The whole point of this plan was to just watch and get aroused. Nothing else. That wouldn’t just defeat the purpose of watching and not acting.

“Yeah!” Little Iris yelled out. “That’s what I’m talking about!” She felt herself getting wet all over.

“Speed up!” Azrael called to the forced couple. “Make the show interesting!” Now, the lamb was caught in a trap. He didn’t want to get beaten, but he didn’t want anymore shame to her or himself. Alex looked down at the female pet. Her tears were getting much worse. He lightly brushed her light aqua bangs from her forehead. The lamb lightly kissed her warm flesh.

“Don’t worry,” mouthed to her. “I’ll all be over soon. You are doing great. Just hang.” The girl just nodded. Alex began to go a little faster. The lovely monsters were really into the show now.

Behind, Shane and Dana were prepared to attack. It was a challenge to try and get that way. They managed to get there right before things got any worse. Azrael kept them busy for a few seconds were some dark shadow creatures to fight off. Dana wasn’t trained enough to hold her own in order to defend herself against the creatures. But Shane saw right through them and used alchemy to disperse them with some alchemy. Then their weapons were badly damaged due to the shadow fight. Dana was really stressed out by that and her minor injuries.

“We don’t have anything to fight back with now!” she complained. “My sword is broken and your arrows are crushed. Now what are we going to do?” Shane hit her in the face.

“Ouch!” Dana wailed out.

“Shhh!” Shane she under her breath. “You don’t want them to hear us, do you?” The second year student rubbed her cheek in pain as she nodded. Shane softened some.

“As for the weapons,” she whispered. “We will just have to improvise for the time being!” Dana looked at the older deity as if she was crazy.

“How?” she asked. Shane looked around on the ground for a moment. She then found a large stick and picked it up. Dana looked uncertain.

“You sure that will work?” she asked.

“You got any better ideas?” Shane challenged. Dana thought about that for a moment, then she shook her head. Shane moved in close to her face.

“Good!” the tech geek said. “Now find a stick and prepare yourself to rescue the lamb!”

“Okay…” the second year student replied. Then she looked around on the ground for a few seconds. She found a rake that was lying around aimlessly. Dana grabbed it and held it to her side. Now they were waiting to go in for the kill. Shane held out her arm to the attackers.

“Wait until you see the lights heighten in the pigs!” she said aloud. Dana looked at her confused.

“What lights?” she asked. Shane remembered that her friend didn’t have the eyes to see inside of mystics just yet. That only occurred in third-year students.

“Alright,” Shane replied. “Just follow me on my cue.”

“Right!” Dana replied. They waited for a few seconds. Shane could sense that the show was getting even worse. “Poor Alex!” she thought in worry. “Just hold on!” The time seemed to be dragging onwards. The visions were getting worse and worse. Dana just didn’t know how much more she could take. Shane felt the same as well, but she held it in deeply. She had to keep her mind clear to try and save Alex. Emotions were not the best in work to take out the enemy. At long last, Shane saw the heavy red light shoot up from Little Iris as she was really getting aroused. The love deity was smiling wickedly.

“Okay,” she said to the second-year student. “Now we can attack!” Dana smiled in ambition. Both ladies charged forward with their improvised weapons.

Azrael and Little Iris were so lost into the action that they weren’t paying attention to the action behind them. Then, the incubus heard something that caught his attention.

“Iris,” he hissed to her. “We have to go!”

“But we can’t!” she whimpered. “Little Alex hasn’t came yet!” The lamb was still at his “work.” His hope slowly rose at Azrael’s words. But Little Iris might have persuaded him otherwise. Alex looked down at his forced one night stand. She had stopped crying by now, but she was still scared. The lamb\ couldn’t blame her at all. He too had been put in her position so many times. “It’s not my fault!” he kept thinking the whole time to her. “It’s not my fault!” The two monsters were still enjoying the show when Shane and Dana got close. Little Iris and Azrael whipped around lighting fast. The women struck them hard. Alex and the girl quickly looked up. The love deities and the fallen began a brutal fight. Azrael laughed at Shane and Dana.

“You really think you can take us out with a stick and a rake with just your weakened powers?” he asked them. “Your little friend has barely recovered from the shadows! This will be really short!”

“Maybe,” Shane replied. “But it’s worth a shot!” Then the first round began. Azrael drew out his sword and lunged forward. Shane shot forward with her stick and countered. The two weapons met with a loud clack. The incubus smiled at her wickedly.

“Not bad,” he replied impressed. “I guess sitting behind a machine day-in and day-out hasn’t dulled your fighting skills!” Shane smirked back at him.

“You would be surprised!” she said back to him. Then she had another go at him with her stick. Azrael countered her again.

“You’re more fun than Syd, I’ll give you that.” Shane told him. “I have the pansy on the ground in seconds flat!” Azrael lunged at her again.

“Really now?” he asked.

“You bet!” the love deity replied. Dana on the other hand, wasn’t having it so good. Little Iris was beating her badly. The succubus was only using her standard whip on her. Plus, Dana was still injured from the last fight. The second year was sitting on the ground bleeding and panting hard for air. Little Iris was laughing the whole time.

“It’s a pity really,” the succubus said. “But I always end up beating the weak ones down!” Dana panted hard and charged forward again. Little Iris whipped her back dropped again. The love deity fell sitting on the ground. Little Iris snickered again. Then she slowly began walking over to her worn down opponent. However, she was in for a huge surprise. When the succubus was standing over the second year student when… STAB!!! Dana had stabbed Little Iris in the stomach with the broken end of the rake. The second year student looked up smiling. Little Iris looked down at her pissed off. Dana slowly pushed herself to standing.

“It’s a pity really,” she said. “But I always end up fighting the cocky ones!” The succubus glared at her coldly as she tried to pull the rake out.

“Bitch!” she yelled out. Then she turned to Azrael.

“Azrael!” the slave yelled out. “Let’s get out of here! The party suddenly lost its appeal!”

“Too right!” the incubus replied. Then he shoved Shane away and they fell up into the sky back to the apartments. Shane rose to her feet again.

“Coward!!!” she yelled out the two monsters in the sky. Then she turned to her friend.

“You okay?” the tech freak asked.

“Other than getting my ass whooped,” Dana replied. “I’m fine!” Shane just smiled. Then they turned to Alex and the girl. They were both sitting on the ground watching them. Shane slowly approached them. Both pets didn’t dare to move.

“Hey,” the tech freak said slowly to them. “It’s okay now. We’re here to help you. They’re gone now.” Alex looked at her uncertain.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Shane reassured. “Ella requested that we protect you, Alex.” The boy slowly began to relax. Shane turned to Dana.

“Dana,” she said. “Take the girl and take her back to the academy with you. You both will be treated for your wounds there.”

“Right!” the second year student replied. Then she walked over to the girl, lightly took her into her own arms, and flew up into the sky with her. Shane saw after her closely. Then she turned her attention back to the lamb. Alex was still sitting and watching her.

“You okay?” the love deity asked. Alex nodded quickly. Shane walked over to him and helped him up to his feet. She lightly brushed all of the dirt off of him. The lamb was still confused. He didn’t know whether to be afraid or grateful for her and Dana for coming to his rescue. Shane gently held out her hand to him.

“Come on,” she said. “Let’s get you inside. Your step-father is waiting for you.”

“Okay,” Alex replied softly. Then they headed inside the house. Shane decided to stay with him for the rest of the night for safe measurements.
