The ritual was tonight, Sodo saw it as any other night nothing special, he played with his usual spunk, messing with the other ghouls, throwing picks at everyone. He was standing at the front of the stage stomping to the beat of the music, when he saw her.

Sodo POV:
I was feeling myself playing my guitar, once I looked into the crowd I saw her, the most beautiful woman I've seen, I've never felt attracted to a human the way I was to her, I saw her jumping and throwing her hands in the air. I smiled at her pointed and stuck my tongue out to her. She screamed my name. It sent shivers down my spine. I leaned down to security and pointed at her. "Bring her back once this is over." I tell him, he gives me a thumbs up.
Once the ritual ends I walk back with the other ghouls and hop in the shower. "Sodo!" I hear rain yell for me. "One minute!" I yell back.

"There's a girl here for you." I almost slip in the shower, I quickly rinse and dry myself off getting dressed. I open the door and there she was.

Emily's POV:
I'm feeling myself with the music, it flows through my like water, I'm screaming the lyrics and throwing my hands in the air when I see sodo look at me and smile, he stares for a moment and points at me, he sticks his tongue out at me and I scream his name, it looks like it excited him. I watch him intently when I see him talking to a security guard pointing at me. What was he doing?
Once the ritual ended I'm approached by the same security guard. "Come with me." He says in a stern voice, I follow him back stage and and brought to a room, he opens the door and ushers me inside. I'm met with the other ghouls. Rain, aether, mountain, and Swiss. But sodo is nowhere to be found. Rain calls out to him and I hear him yell back. I see him walk out in a hurry and he makes eye contact with me, well at least I think so since his mask was on. "Hello, I'm sodo." He says smiling walking towards me holding his hand out. "I'm Emily." I say nervously. "Why'd you bring me back here?" I ask him he looks nervous, suddenly I see a tail behind him swaying nervously behind him, I step back scared. He tilts his head and sees what I'm seeing. "Oh! Don't be scared, we are quite literally ghouls. From hell. But we're not mean." He says. "You mean we're not mean, sodo you're an asshole." Aether says jokingly. I hear a deep rumble from sodo's chest, he flips Aether off. I try to wrap my head around it all.
"Now now, don't scare the poor girl." I hear a familiar voice, it was papa.
"Papa!" I yell and smile. "I've been a huge fan for years! He smiles back at me. "Glad to hear it, now  boys, I'm going to head to the bus, be there in 30 I won't wait up." He says and walks off closing the door behind him.
"We're on a tight schedule we go back to the church tonight." Aether says. I look at him then to sodo who's eyeballing Aether. "You should come with us!" Sodo says smiling through his mask, I look at his eyes, and they're glowing red. His tail swinging back and forth eagerly. "I can't just leave everything behind guys." I look at sodo then to the other ghouls. Sodos tail slowly lowers. "Please?" He says. Was sodo a true softy? He acts so tough on stage and now he's practically begging me to go with him. "There's an extra room, fully furnished. We can have Swiss and mountain get your things? Right guys?" Aether looks at Swiss and mountain, they both shrug. "I guess." Mountain says Swiss just nods in agreement. "Okay then." I say and look back at sodo who's tail is swaying happily I see a smile peeking through his mask.

Sodos POV:
I was so scared she'd say no, I stared at her intently trying to read her face. "There's an extra room, Swiss and mountain can get your things!" Aether says, he's almost too nice to her, it makes me angry, I called her. I feel my anger building I try my best to hide it. Was Aether doing this to piss me off? Or is he truly being nice.
"Okay then." Emily said looking back at me I can't help but feel excited. I try so hard not to just pick her up and spin her around, I want her so badly. We all walk to the bus, all of us forgetting that although there was an extra room at the church, there wasn't extra room in the bus. Shit.

Emily's POV:
We get to the bus, I look around at everything it was spacious. I look to see if there's an extra pod for me to sleep in while we drove, there was not. I look to the ghouls who all looked a little nervous. "Where can I sleep?" I ask them all, Aether opens his mouth to speak, but I see Sodos tail smack him on the back. "You can sleep in my pod, I don't mind." He smiles and shows me his pod, it was small but looked comfy, there were plenty of blankets, and a privacy curtain. I crawl into the pod and get myself comfortable. I felt bad for taking Sodos sleeping quarters, even though he offered it to me. I feel my eyes get heavy after a while and doze off.

I'm awoken from a loud crash. "She's mine I called her!" I hear sodo yelling. I quickly run to the front of the bus to see sodo pinning Aether to the ground, both growling at one another. "I don't want her dude, I just called her pretty!" He tries to swat sodo but he punches him. I sit in shock. "What the hell is going on!?" I yell. Both of them shoot their eyes to me, sodo quickly jumps up and runs to me. "I'm sorry." He says I back away. "Who are you talking about, why are you arguing it's the middle of the night!" I say angry still tired from waking up. Aether stands his face bloody. I look at him and frown. "You did this?" I look at sodo he looks down upset. "Yes, he said you were pretty, and I got a little defensive." He says quietly.
"Sodo, we're not together, I don't belong to anyone, now cut it out I'm going back to sleep." I storm back into Sodos pod and close the curtain I was so angry, but flattered at the same time, sodo did like me, he beat up his best friend for calling me pretty. I covered myself up in his blankets, they smelt like him, I hated that I liked it. It smelt like campfire and fresh air. I quickly dozed back off.
In the morning I'm awoke by a soft nudge. "Hey. Emily, wake up." I hear a quiet voice. I slowly rub my eyes and open to see sodo standing there. "Good morning sleepy head." He says. I can't help but smile at him, although I was mad I was awoken late last night.
"We're about to pull into the church." He says he begins to walk away but stops and turns to me. "Also you look cute when you sleep." He says and winks at me. I feel my face go beet red. I hop up and join the others.
I'm still mad at him for being so possessive over me, I'd only known sodo for less and 2 days and he already claimed me like I was a piece of meat.
As im walking up to the church I notice how large it is, it was beautiful. We all walk inside and it's dark but it has a very comfortable feel to it. "This way, I'll show you to your room." I hear papa as he walks up next to me. I nod and follow him, my room was in the second floor, there were names on all of the doors, sodo was at the end of the hall, and I see Aether is right across from me. Papa guides me to my room, it was fully furnished, it had a huge bed, dresser and a walk in closet. Not to mention my own bathroom. I look at the room in awe, I made the right decision by coming here. "So do you like it?" Papa says looking at me with a smile. "Yes papa, I do!" I say excitedly, but my mind still wonders why sodo feels the need to claim me as his. "Papa?" I ask him he hums and looks down at me. "Sodo and Aether fought last night, and I heard sodo say that I was his, that he called me. Should I be worried at all?" I ask him his eyes go wide and he takes a deep breath. "I was afraid of this... sodo is a fire ghoul, meaning he feels a lot, he lost his mate a few years back, she was summoned back down to hell, and never came back. You look just like her.. his body is telling him you're his mate, he'll get protective, and even possessive over you. But don't let it scare you, he just likes you a lot." He says. "But I don't know him that well.." I say back to him quietly. "He's really intense.." I say papa nods in agreement "he is, but when he loves he loves deeply, he may not seem like the sweetest guy at times, but he'll make you his entire world. Aether doesn't want you as a mate, he just sees you as a friend. But sodo sees any other ghoul as a threat, until you're his." Papa says. "Any other questions?" Papa asks, I shake my head and he walks out of the room leaving me to unpack.
