(Pyp)
"Nononono," Pyp said, grinning as he wagged a negating finger at Kutsuki.? "Lesson number one.? At the moment, I'm not here to protect you. I'm protecting you so that I can stay here.? _Big_ difference."
"Mind if I sit?" the demon asked.? Without waiting for a response, he snapped his fingers and a chair appeared, ornate like the first chair but this one in a distinctly French style with elegant curves to the legs and arms and upholstered with purple fleur-de-lies. Plopping himself down, he made a flourish with his fingers which suddenly held a gold-tipped cigarillo, already lit.? The demon took a luxuriant drag, then blew a series of four perfect smoke rings at the ceiling.
"Lesson number two.? You released me from the circle before asking me your three questions, which was bad enough.? But worse is that you didn't put any restrictions on me."? Pyp turned his gleaming red eyes intently on his summoner.? "What you don't seem to know is that once you give me an order or a request, the deal between is sealed.? After which it cannot be altered.? _That_ is why I bent the rules a bit..." he snickered, adding "which I love doing by the way.? By doing what you wanted _without_ making it a formal response, I've left things open."
"So you now have a chance," Pyp said, leaning back in his chair like a cat making itself comfortable. "Ask your two remaining questions and put your three bindings on me.? Before I finish my cigarillo, if you please. Oh, and lesson number three." The demon grinned impishly.? "If you tell me to put it out, that counts as your first order. So always remember that your words and wording matter."

"I already asked my three questions, but since you insist," he retorted, leaning back forward and crossing his arms.? "Second question.? Are you aware of or can get the name of the "reviler of tongues, desecrator of the commonwealth, ruiner of prosperity?"? The title ought to have been enough to summon him, but since you interfered, I never got the chance to find out.? Third question, are you powerful enough to force that asshole out of Hell so that I can destroy him and help me do so?"? That ought to do for the question.? IF his first ones were inane, then these should bring more satisfaction to him, though he was sure that Pyp was going to somehow twist these anyway and tell him that he was asking more than 3.? After he asked him, he pushed himself off the bed and began pacing back and forth, counting with his fingers as he listed out the boundaries he does not want the imp to cross.
"Right.? Restriction #1.? You are forbidden from touching me.? Ever.? _Unless_ it's to push or pull me out of danger like falling, someone out to hurt me, etc.; get me out of the way from someone who wants to touch me and prevent them from doing so.? Nothing must get close to me in any way, shape or form.? That includes grabbing, holding, hugging, embracing, feeling up, kissing, teasing, etc., any parts of my body.? None of that."
"Restriction #2: You may not, must not and cannot ever betray me by revealing information about me and what I do to anyone, such as my parents, my friend or anyone else who may take advantage of that in a negative way.? No divulging my strengths or weaknesses, especially to demons.? Basically, don't flap your mouth about me and spread false information either."
"Restriction #3: It's inevitable that when I die, whether from natural causes or otherwise, that I will get sent down to hell.? There is no redemption for me.? My real parents made sure of that.? I cannot and will not become a tortured soul for all eternity.? If it means I have to give up the rest of my humanity and become a demon, so be it.? If and once a demon, I shall have all the powers of one."
Kutsuki finally stopped pacing, stopping right in front of Pyp and whirled about to face him.
"All of that should be easy for you, yes?? I'm sure that you'll tell me it'll come back to bite me in the ass in some way," he said, keeping his arms crossed.? When Pyp materialized the cigarillo, however, he scrunched his nose when the sweet, sickly smell stench invaded his nostrils.? Kutsuki reached over without reserve and pulled the burning pipe away, walking back to his dresser which had a plate on it and turned to glare at Pyp as he made a show of putting it out.? "Cut that shit out.? I don't think you stinking up my room or the house for that matter.? I don't want that smell permeating my clothes."
