CRASH!!!

"Yuumei!! Stop that!"

The blue-coloured demon, a physical clone of Savrin, looked up from what he was doing. Namely, flying around the backlot of Forrest Dreams Studio and breaking various pieces of equipment, ranging from things like fans and backdrops to lighting and props. He'd just pushed over a spotlight when Savrin had finally caught up with him. The hybrid looked worn out from racing around.

"Yuumei, you're not supposed to do that!"

"Oh really, hybrid. None of you can really stop me."

"Silver can fire you!"

"True, but then she'd have no demon....."

Akaimet, who was passing the backlot - it was his day off - heard the exchange and peered over the fence with a toothy grin at his blue-coloured rival.

"I can replace you."

Before Yuumei could sling a fireblast at the smug wolfdemon, Akaimet dropped down behind the fence and continued on his way, whistling. Angrily, Yuumei moved to another light and shoved it over, narrowly missing the hybrid. Savrin jumped in surprise, then shook his head. Walking away from the angry demon, he bumped into Diane. The young feline had a clipboard and a pencil in her hands, and was documenting what equipment was being broken by the frustrating demon. Finally, Savrin nudged her.

"Say Di, is Silver in today?"

She looked up, blinking in surprise.

"Yeah. In her office."

Savrin nodded his head and walked past the kitty, who sighed and continued taking inventory on each thing Yuumei was breaking. He walked past Abbie, who was getting his hair done by the staff hairdresser, and shook his head. No one knew how the coyote got his hair so long naturally. Looking past Abbie, he could see where the rooms for the support cast were, but his attention was elsewhere as he walked up the steps that led to the indoor office of their 'boss', the vixen Silverfox. After knocking, he opened the door to find Silver at her desk, drawing. She looked up and blinked.

"Savrin?"

"Sorry to just come on in, Silver...but Yuumei is just running wild! He's destroying pieces of equipment left and right! We have to deal with him somehow."

"He's gotten that bad?"

"Yeah!"

"I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this, but it's the only option....bring him to me, would you?"

Savrin blinked and nodded, exiting and leaping down the stairs. Several moments later he found Yuumei looking irritated, with several of the support cast - mainly some of the newcomers - Aragan, Talresh, and Calypso, were facing him about what he'd done. Pushing past the fox and more gently moving the firewolf princess aside, Savrin grabbed Yuumei by the wrist. The demon stared.

"Let go!"

"No, you're coming with me...."

Exerting all the willpower he had, Savrin dragged Yuumei back, up the stairs and into Silver's office. The vixen stood up, rested her hands on the table, and stared authoratively at Yuumei. The demon shrugged off Savrin's grip and folded his arms, grinning smugly. He knew he was about to get punished, but he didn't care - no amount of anything could stop him from doing what he did. After staring him down a moment, the vixen shook her head.

"I was hoping I wouldn't have to....but I'm sending you....to Sable."

Savrin blinked.

"Your assistant?? Have you seen some of the roleplays he's done!?"

Silver nodded solemnly.

"He'll teach Yuumei a lesson....in private..."

***

A few hours later, Yuumei stood in the supporting cast area, in a darkened corner, where the door with the label "Sable Flame: Assistant Scriptwriter" was - it wasn't a very inviting scene. The demon had seen little of the ferret himself since he'd started scriptwriting - he seemed a very closed-door type of person. But some of the things he talked with Silverfox about, it was rumoured, were very creative. Some were entertaining, some morbid, some very, very risque. Yuumei shrugged - he'd promised to at least go to one session with the ferret, and he knocked on the door, which swung open into darkness.

"Well, Yuumei. Do come on in. I've been expecting you."

The silky smooth purr of the male ferret's voice, for some reason, put the demon on edge. Slowly, he lit a flame in one hand and walked into the room, but couldn't see too far beyond his hand. He stopped, and the door closed with a loud thud, the sound of a bolt coming down very audible, as was the click of a lightswitch, temporarily blinding the demon. He whirled towards the sound of the switch, red eyes widening slightly in surprise, and what looked like a little bit of worry.

Leaning against the wall was a black-furred ferret. Green eyes regarded the demon with a strange gleam, and Sable licked his muzzle slowly, looking Yuumei up and down. The only thing he was wearing was a pair of black speedos - that appeared to be leather, and of all things, he was holding a short whip in one hand. Taking in the sight, Yuumei whirled to look at the rest of the room - a bed, restraints, various other toys. And he got a very, very bad feeling.

"Oh, do make yourrrself comfortable, Yuumei. I've been instructed to teach you to behave, and I'm also free to play out one of my recent roleplays...it's rare I get to turn a fantasy into reality..."

That silky smooth purr, coupled with the lustful gleam in the ferret's eye and the way he was licking his muzzle, made Yuumei VERY sure of what the ferret was talking about. He started backing away, and Sable discarded the whip and stretched flexibly, practically doubling over backwards and touching his heels with a grin before straightening up.

"First lesson...we're going to play catch. The objective? I have to catch you."

The ferret lowered himself into a pouncing position and began prowling towards Yuumei. The demon backstepped once, twice, beginning to look rather worried.

"Back off.....ferret!"

Another lip-licking grin was his only reply, followed by...

"MMmm.....no."

And he pounced.

***

Three seperate times, Yuumei tried to escape. Each and every time, he failed. The first time, he barely made it three steps away from the ferret before he was pounced from behind and brought to the ground. The second time, he got halfway to the door before Sable realised what he was up to - the ferret had picked up a whip and cracked it expertly, wrapping it around the blue-coloured demon's ankles and tripping him up once more, with a purr-growl of sorts at the demon's continued escape attempts.

The third time was the most memorable, because this time, several of the support cast were having a meeting in the hallway outside. They heard a cry from inside the room, and the door burst open to reveal a very undressed Yuumei, and he was almost out the door when a black-furred shape lunged and wrapped itself around his torso from behind, pulling him back into the room.

"Heeeeelp.....urk!"

The door clicked shut, shutting off the demon's cry. The little support cast meeting dispersed moments afterwards, mainly to spread the news about Yuumei's 'punishment'. Within the room, the black-furred ferret, nibbled on one of the demon's twitching ears, before detaching himself and heaving/dragging Yuumei across the room to the bed, where there were several restraints.

"Mmmr...we can do this two ways. You can behave, and I won't have to restrain you....or you can misbehave and I'll restrain you..."

The demon struggled as the ferret, with superior agility and flexibility, pinned him on the bed and easily straddled his abdomen, grinning down at the demon with that expression he'd found so creepy.

"Well?"

"Bah! Do your worst, ferret!"

That brought a low, throaty chuckle from Sable.

"Worst? On the contrary...this is going to be enjoyable..."

Before Yuumei could stop him, the ferret leaned down, and although muzzles weren't expressly designed for furs to kiss each other, Sable still managed to do it to Yuumei. A very deep one at that. The demon squirmed in surprise, 'mmmph'ing against the kiss, and then staring up in shocked surprise at the ferret, who licked his lips and grinned again.

"And fantasy becomes reality..."

Yuumei shivered slightly, although whether in fear or a strange sort of fascinated expectation, it was hard to tell. And then the ferret's fun began.

***

It was many, many hours later before things finally calmed down. The bed was a rumpled mess, and reeked of various things. Sprawled on one side of it was Sable, who was grinning almost like a maniac, breathing coming out in short, quick pants. Next to him, Yuumei was sprawled, relatively quiet and wide-eyed, also panting. It was the ferret who spoke first, still grinning.

"Geeez...I didn't know demons...were so....so...."

Yuumei snorted and smirked.

"....full of energy?"

"Yeah, that."

"For what it's worth....ferret....you're not so bad with.....being energetic either...."

Sable rolled himself over so he was sprawled on top of Yuumei, and grinned impishly before planting another kiss on the demon, who in all surprise, returned it. Both of them soon had grins on their faces, one almost maniacal, one incredibly smug.

"So....ferret....what was the point..of that lesson..."

Sable didn't respond, merely stretching and then rubbing his flexible body against the demon's, making Yuumei shudder and growl to himself in surprise.

"Don't....DO that.....ferret...."

Sable smiled, more amused than maniacal this time.

"You have to behave when you get out into the backlot, do you hear me?"

"Oh...? And why....should I....do that?"

Another flexible body-rubbing later, and Yuumei was gasping - he made an amendment to his previous note - the ferret had MUCH more energy in him.

"No more fun for you if you don't behave...."

Yuumei smirked.

"I think....we have a deal.....ferret."

"Then let's celebrate."

The 'celebration' could be heard very clearly by anyone outside the room, as the ferret and the physical demon-spirit got down to some very energetic romping. Silverfox walked past, an ear flicking as she heard the noises going on, and she smiled to herself and kept walking, taking a few more notes down in her notebook as she went.

"Well, Yuumei won't cause trouble anymore..."

And thus closed Forrest Dreams Studio that day. With a lesson to be learned. Don't cross Silverfox. Unless you like romping with a very perverted ferret.
