Yunho grumbled silently, watching Mingi talking to a girl who obviously is trying to flirt with him but he was told to wait by Mingi when he tried tugging on Mingi's sleeve. He frowned and he could feel his magic inside of him wanting to hex the girl but he knew Mingi would have a fit so he tried to stay calm. The girl's 9 tails swishing behind her making Yunho angrier.

Yunho took a deep breath to hold himself back, not to hex the girl as he vowed to himself that he would be a good witch. His family is famous for being a white witch so he wanted to continue their lineage properly.

Yunho gave up on listening and watching them as Mingi seemed very 'happy' talking to her, so Yunho opted to play with his magic for a little bit. He saw a pot of dying flowers so he used his magic to bloom them again and smiled, watching the flowers blooming again. Yunho was so occupied with the flowers that he didn't realize that Mingi had stopped talking to the girl and yelped in surprise when Mingi wrapped his arms around Yunho's waist.

Yunho huffed before pushing away Mingi's hands from his waist, making Mingi frown. "Bub? What's wrong?" *Mingi asked and Yunho rolled his eyes at the Devil. "Is she so fun to talk to that you ignored me for like 15 minutes? We were supposed to go to Light Café to meet the others for lunch like 15 minutes ago."

"It's just 15 minutes, bub. She was my old friend so I wanted to ask how she was, that's all." Mingi explained but Yunho only got more upset. "To the point of ignoring me and telling me to wait? You didn't even introduce me to her. Your mate." Yunho mumbled, already feeling tired to argue with Mingi so he walked away without waiting for him.

Right after Yunho was out of the campus, Mingi appeared right in front of him, making Yunho stumble onto him but before Yunho could do anything, Mingi pulled him into a hug. Yunho huffed in Mingi's neck as the Devil chuckled and kissed his head. "It's not funny. Why are you laughing." Yunho pouted but he snuggled even closer when Mingi tightened their hugs.

"Okay okay. I'm sorry. I was too engrossed talking to her." Mingi said softly but Yunho puffed up his cheeks and pulled away. "It's because she charmed you. Didn't you realize it? Her eyes were bright purple! If she did something that made you leave me there, I would hex her right there, you know?!"

Mingi blinked before frowning again. "What? She didn't charm me. You're overreacting, bub."

Yunho gaped at him before putting his hands on his hips. "Overreacting?! I saw them, Mingi! You didn't believe me?? Your own mate??"

"I won't believe you when you're being this jealous." Mingi huffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

Yunho had enough with Mingi. "Wow. Okay then. Don't believe me then. If something happens to you then don't blame me. I'm going home. Say hi to them." Yunho said and walked away without looking back. Mingi huffed and rolled his eyes, walking to the café alone.

--

"Where's Yunho?" Seonghwa said as soon as Mingi arrived at their table in the café. Mingi took a seat before grumbling. "Home. We had a fight before coming here." Hongjoong raised one of his eyebrows as the others tilted their heads. "What fight? Usually Yunho won't be in a very bad mood enough to make him go home rather than meeting us." Hongjoong asked.

"He accused my old friend charmed me. We were only talking though. I told him that he was overreacting and he became upset and went home. He said hi." Mingi explained but Yeosang was quick to question the Devil.

"Charmed? Your old friend is a nine-tailed fox like me?"

Mingi nodded. "Yeah. And?"

"What did Yunho tell you?"

"That she charmed me and her eyes were bright purple. I didn't see it though. He's overreacting Yeo. Let it go. He'll be fine once I'm home and give him some cuddles and kisses."

Yeosang tilted his head. "If she charms you, of course you won't realize it Mingi. Only the people who didn't get charmed by us could see our eyes had turned bright. Yunho was telling the truth."

"Has this old friend of yours had a crush on you before? Mr. Devil?" Wooyoung said, making Mingi huffed but nodded his head. "Yeah.. She had a crush on me before but I've told her that I'm not interested and she was fine with it. I still think Yunho is overreacting though.. It was only a 15 minutes talk.."

"Well, did you introduce him to her? Like, he is your mate, Mingi-ah." San asked and Mingi finally deflated as he shook his head. "No.. I didn't.. I was too engrossed talking to her.. Like I didn't realize that Yunho was there with me.. I really was charmed.. Didn't I?"

The others nodded their heads as Jongho patted Mingi's back lightly. "Well, apologize to him when you go back home, hyung."

"I will."

"Anyway. I heard from my supervisor that there is an evil witch in this town that had been kidnapping children and took their blood to be Immortal so please tell Yunho hyung to be careful because it seems that the evil witch will kill every white witch that it encounters." Jongho explained, making Mingi a bit panic as Yunho went home alone.

"WHAT? He went home alone!"

"That's not the only thing we should be careful of, though. My higher ups had told me that we're going to try and find this evil witch but really no one knows who it is, so every witch in this town is the suspect at the moment." Jongho explained further, making Mingi frown.

"My bub is a good witch! He won't be kidnapping children just to be Immortal. He's already an Immortal himself as he already mated to me."

"I know, hyung but my people don't know that. I tried telling them but they don't really trust me yet." Jongho said apologetically.

"Well, the only thing we could do now is protect Yunho at all cost. Baby, you go and try to persuade your higher ups that Yunho isn't the evil witch, okay?" Yeosang said while brushing one of his tails towards Jongho's arm, making the hunter blushed and nodded his head.

"I will."

--

Yunho puffed up his cheeks as he walked home but someone blocked his way so he tilted his head at the man. "Yes? May I help you?" Yunho asked politely with a little smile but the man scoffed before he threw something at Yunho and the thing burst around Yunho making the witch cough as he inhaled the smoke and fainted.

"Huh, that was easy. Are you sure this is the evil witch?" The man said, turning over to a girl who had a smirk on her face while crossing her hands on her chest. "Yes. That's him. Thank you for catching him. I'll take care of him now. It's better for us to handle this thing rather than you humans." The girl said and snapped her fingers, making 2 men came from behind him and picked Yunho up. The man only stared at them dazed, letting them go.

Yunho woke up 1 hour later, feeling dazed and his head was about to split open. He tried to hold his head but his hands can't move so he opened his eyes properly and looked around. He's on a chair, tied up and in an empty room. Yunho paled as he tried to remember what happened and gasped when he remembered the man that he encountered before.

What the hell happened? Why am I being kidnapped?

Yunho tried tugging on the ropes on his hands but it was tied so tight that he can't loosen it up. He tried using his powers but it didn't work too, making him pale even more.

What? Why can't I use my power? What did they put in these ropes..?

Yunho's breaths gradually quicken in his panicked state while he tried to tug the ropes to loosen them up when someone came into the room. Yunho stopped moving and squinted his eyes to see who was the one who had kidnapped him. Yunho widened his eyes when he saw the nine-tailed fox girl who was talking to Mingi hours ago.

Yunho glared at the girl while she mockingly went closer to him. "You're awake, huh. You're stronger than I thought. That dust was supposed to keep you unconscious for 4 hours."

"What are you doing? Let me go."

"Nope. Not until I get what I want."

Yunho frowned in confusion before he tried tugging on the ropes again, ignoring the girl. The nine-tailed fox laughed at Yunho, watching him struggle to break free. "You won't be able to get out of the ropes. I've made it special for witches like you. Now all I have to do is wait for the ropes and this room to sucked in your energy until you're weak enough so I could cut you open and take your heart."

"What do you mean?" Yunho hissed though his heart is racing anxiously.

"Well, since you're going to die anyway, I'll tell you. I'm collecting witches' hearts, mostly the white and innocent children's blood to make an immortal elixir. For myself so I could be immortal."

"What?!" Yunho widened his eyes, making the nine-tailed girl smirked. "Yes! I'm going to be immortal and I only need one more white witch's heart and that would be you! After I've become Immortal, Mingi would want me as his mate!"

Yunhi squinted his eyes at the girl before scoffing, making the girl hissed at him. "What?!" The girl said as Yunho rolled his eyes. "Devil only mates once in their lives and he already has a mate." Yunho explained, making the girl furious. "What?! Who?!" Yunho smirked, "Me. You chose a wrong witch, bitch. Let me go. Mingi won't be happy if he found out that you kidnapped his mate."

The girl blinked before fisting her hands in rage. "NO! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO RELEASING YOU! "She left the room right away leaving Yunho behind. Yunho sighed, looking around the room but he couldn't find anything that could help him to break free. Huffing, Yunho could only hope that Mingi knew that he's missing and would come find him as he couldn't use his magic at all to contact Mingi.

"Min.. Please find me.." Yunho whispered to himself as he could feel how the room and the ropes sucked in all of his energy.

--

"Baby?" Mingi called Yunho as soon as he arrived home but he frowned when Yunho didn't answer him. Usually, no matter how hard they fight, Yunho will always answer him and talk to him so Mingi started panicking and searching the house, only to find no Yunho. Mingi quickly tried to sense where Yunho was but he couldn't find it, making him even more panicked.

Baby??

Silence.

Mingi paled as Yunho didn't answer him and knew right away that something had happened to Yunho. The witch never ignored him before, no matter what so he quickly reached for his other friends.

Guys?? I can't find Yunho! He's not in our house and I couldn't sense him anywhere! Something must've happened! Help me out guys!

What?? Where did my pup go??

If I know, I won't ask for you guys' help, Hwa hyung!

What should we do? I'm worried about Yuyu! Should I ask my spirit fellows if they saw him?

That would be a great help, Sannie! What about others?

I'll try to ask around if someone saw him, in the meantime, gather at our house for now. Seonghwa will wait for you guys as I go and ask around. I will also go meet my Immortal fellows and ask them.

Will do, hyung! Thank you!

I'll ask my banshee fellows.

Okay, Woo! Thanks!

Jongho will try asking his colleagues and we're on our way to SeongJoong hyungs' house.

Okay! Meet you guys there!

Mingi sighed before teleporting to SeongJoong's house and Seonghwa opened the door for him. "Calm down, Mingi. We'll find the pup, okay?" Seonghwa said, patting Mingi's shoulder lightly. Mingi flopped down on the couch as he told his underlings to go find Yunho. Seonghwa had gone to sit beside him with a glass of blood in his hand while they waited for the other to arrive. "I can't even sense him, hyung.. I'm worried.. I should've pushed him into coming with me to the café earlier.." Mingi sighed.

"We'll find him, we always do." Seonghwa assured Mingi as he sipped on the blood. "I can't lose him.. I will kill whoever that hurts him, I fucking swear." Mingi hissed, his hands in fists.

"Hyungs! One of my colleagues said he saw Yunho!" Jongho said as soon as he and Yeosang entered the apartment. Yeosang's tails were puffed up, making Mingi and Seonghwa look at it wearily. "More like he helped a nine-tailed fox girl to take Yunho." Yeosang hissed, his tails swishing around behind him at an agitated pace.

"WHAT?" Both Mingi and Seonghwa shouted.

"Apparently he thought that Yunho is the evil witch and he helped the nine-tailed fox girl to catch him but when he succeeded in making Yunho fainted from the Faint Dust, he couldn't move and could only watch the nine-tailed girl took Yunho away with another 2 men who dragged Yunho away." Yeosang explained.

"Where is he right now?" Mingi hissed, his eyes turned blood red but Jongho only looked at the Devil apologetically. "He's with our higher ups right now, they want to punish him for trusting someone else rather than us. I told them that Yunho hyung is a white witch and never does anything evil even though his mate is a Devil. They believed me when I showed them a video that I captured when Yunho was helping some children before at the park as we all know that evil witch despises children."

"Does he know where they took him?" Mingi asked desperately but Jongho shook his head. "What about the girl's appearance? I could do something with that." Mingi tried and Jongho tilted his head. "From what I heard, he told us that the girl has a white and lavender hair, the same as her tails but that was all though." Mingi widened his eyes when he heard Jongho's explanation before breathing harshly.

"I think I know who took my baby."

"Who??" Seonghwa, Yeosang and Jongho asked, their eyes widened.

"Mina. The one that I met earlier. My old friend." Mingi sighed and quickly told his underlings to go find her. "But why did she take Yunho though? You didn't tell her that he's your mate." Yeosang asked, tilting his head in confusion. Mingi shrugged helplessly as he also doesn't have the answer for that. "We'll find out why when we found her." Mingi said and they all settled down while waiting for the others.

--

Yunho breathed shallowly as his energy was sucked by the ropes and the room, making him even weaker. He doesn't know what time it is and how long he has been in the room but he knows for sure that if he's going to be kept in the room for any longer, his energy will be sucked out empty and he could die from it.

"Min.. Where are you.. I don't know how long I can endure this.." Yunho whispered weakly before he heard some kind of commotion outside of the door. Yunho frowned and braced himself on what's coming. He won't go down without a fight. No matter what.

He blinked when it was Mingi who had come into the room before tearing up because his mate was finally there to save him. "M-min! I thought you'll never come!" Yunho cried out as Mingi rushed to him and tried to cut the ropes but Yunho screamed out in pain when he did so. Mingi stopped touching the ropes, as Yunho stopped screaming and was trying to take a breather.

"T-the ropes are sucking m-my energy.. W-when you tucked it like that I thought my b-body was going to split in h-half.." Yunho explained, making Mingi frown as they heard shouting. "NO! HE'S MY LAST PREY! DON'T TOUCH ME! LET ME GO!" Mina screamed as Jongho held her. Yunho watched Mina and the others curiously before looking up at Mingi.

"How did you guys know I'm here t-though? I couldn't send any s-signal.."

"My underlings found Mina and Hongjoong hyung found this place. Jongho told us that one of his colleagues admit that he was the one who helped Mina to kidnap you."

"She wants to become Immortal so she could be your mate, Min." Yunho said and Mingi raised one of his eyebrows. "Really? Well it's a shame that I already have you as my mate, then."

"HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH? NO! THEN WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF ME TRYING TO BE IMMORTAL NOW? YOU SHOULD MATE WITH ME, MINGI! NOT HIM! HE'S JUST A WEAKLING!" Mina shouted, making Mingi narrowed his eyes on her. "I told you that I'm not interested in you and my baby is not a weakling. You put him in these ropes, that was why he couldn't fight. He's stronger than he looks."

Mina pouted but she looked at Mingi with fear when the Devil let out his menacing aura while looking at her with bright blood red eyes. "Let my mate, go. Right now."

"She's the one who had been kidnapping children. Not the evil witch. There was never an evil witch. It was all her doings." Yunho told them and Mina paled even more. "Huh. Then she'll come with me. The higher ups will punish her." Jongho said as he tightened his grip on the nine-tailed fox girl when she tried to break free.

"You're just a human! Why are you so strong??" Mina huffed as he couldn't get out from Jongho's hold. "It's because my baby is not fully human, bitch. To think that you're this powerful to even manage to kidnap our pup, I didn't think that you'll be this stupid." Yeosang hissed. "Let.My.Baby.Go." Mingi warned and Mina quickly whispered the magical spell and the ropes around Yunho loosened and dropped to the floor.

Yunho sighed when he felt that his energy was coming back before yelping when Mingi suddenly engulfed him in a hug. Yunho giggled, hugging his mate back. "I'm sorry, bub. If I know she was going to kidnap you I would've done something sooner. I'm glad I'm not late." Mingi whispered softly and Yunho melted. He never could get mad at Mingi for long so he gave Mingi a sweet kiss on the lips. "It's okay, what's important is that you saved me."

"Let's go home?" Mingi said, his hands on Yunho's waist and the witch nodded his head with a kitty smile.

"Let's go."
