Summary:

── .✦ Kpop Demon Hunters but make it my AU. With siren stuff and shit

«Looking for beta readers»

Chapter 1: Brief AU Explanation

AU EXPLANATION:

We know demons are real and they eat people's souls, but what if they weren't the only ones? What if there was more to the Hunters than what meets the eyes?

❝ Sirens. ❞

Beautiful otherworldly, immortal beings that rule the waters. However, unlike what people believe, they are narcissistic creatures that care about themselves only. Not only that, but they also have a insatiable hunger for power. 

They have dazzling voices, that just by hearing can make you snap. Sirens use their voices to attract humans, either to shore or their closest location, and steal their lives. The more humans you destroyed, the more powerful you are. 

One secret concealed by these aquatic creatures is that the Hunters are usually sirens. Why though? Because, just like demons, they also want control over the humans. The only difference is that sirens aren't affected by the Honmoon and they live in the surface.

And the Huntrix girls are sirens. Dangerous ones. When singing, they steal the vitality of the fans, who are trapped in trances because of their voices. Why the vitality? Because things can live without souls, and demons are a great example of it, but they can't live without their vitality.

They are high ranked sirens, who have lived a long time. Just like Celine. In their "real" forms, they do not fight, they sing. Depending on the melody, it can destroy your eardrums or trap you in a trance.

Small explanation of what I'll work with:

This fic takes place after the events of the "Kpop Demon Hunters" movie.

The Saja Boys are alive, along with Jinu, and they are stuck in the human world with no means of going back to their lands. I'll just pretend that Gwi-Ma is dead after the main fight.

The boys only survived because they swapped places with other demons before getting slain, running away shortly after the whole Gwi-Ma incident.

Jinu is alive because Rumi "killed" Gwi-Ma, which saved him from burning down into ashes for good, and since he's an old ass demon he managed to heal himself after the Demon King's "death".

I think I'll make them have a comeback, or something like that.

I plan on making the first chapters about how the Saja Boys are considering their comeback and how they are watching/spying on Huntrix. I'll decide which songs they'll use later. 

For the girls, I'm planning on using some songs from MLP Equestria Girls (coughs, the Dazzlings songs), Trolls 3 (Watch me Work, Sweet Dreams), Jentry Chau (Flame) and Helluva Boss (Klown B*tch).

I'm not sure if I'm going to make smut, since I'm bad at it, so I put the tag "eventual smut". Maybe I'll find a co-creator or something for that. Also don't think I'll make a huge character death so I won't put that tag, same thing with the non-con tag. It'll depend on the development of the fic.

I'm also taking ideas for the plot, so please tell me if you guys think of anything. 

Chapter 2: Unfamiliar Familiar Faces

Summary:

After seemingly ressurecting, The Saja Boys are stuck on whats next.

THE SIRENS CALL

 

 

With a thud, he was on the ground. Feeling the concrete on his fingers as if to prove something.. To prove he was alive. He quickly stood, looking around the alley.

 

Romance was leaning against the left wall looking petrified, Abby going to check on him. Mystery looked pale and sick, as if he was going to throw up whatever he ate before this. Jinu paused, "... Where's Baby?"

 

He's thrown off guard when he feels a harsh shove to his shoulder, forcing him to turn around to look at an aggravated baby face.

 

"What now Jinu. Ha? We are STUCK here." Baby points at his patterns, "STILL DEMONS." He growled at Jinu, his eyes glowing golden. Jinu looked towards his friends.

 

Romance turned around and whistled, Abby avoided eye contact, and Mystery shook his head.

 

A sigh brings him back, Baby has his hand on his nose bridge. "What do we do now." He grumbled, Jinu's eyes lit up. Jinu walked towards the end of the alley, the city bustling behind him. "What else can we do, we go back to being idols." The rest of Saja Boys made noises of surprise.

 

"We continue?? WE CONTINUE?!" Baby looked pissed to say the least. "Let me break this down for you, Mystery HATES humans, we have three hunters who will kill us when they come face to face with us, and not ONLY that we need a comeback song."

 

The rest of Saja looked discouraged at his words, Romance looked around the alley before his eyes lit up. "Up there!" Romance pointed above them, a tower in Seoul portraying the girls as they looked 3D, announcing their comeback concert.

 

The guys looked amongst themselves, their gazes holding different meanings. "So... Are we going?" Abby finally cut through the silence. No matter what the rest thought, they all turned towards Jinu.

 

Jinu's gaze hardened, thinking of someone . "We must go, we have unfinished business to attend to." Abby and Baby turned out of the alley, Jinu following right behind. Romance and Mystery gave eachother a look of acknowledgement and understanding.

 

Romance gave Mystery one last look, following his friends. Mystery turned back towards the electronic billboard, a certain glint in there eyes making him uneasy. He quickly sped up to follow behind the rest of his band.

 

 

==========================

 

 

The stadium echoed through the backstage area, screams and cheers, and even crying could be heard from all the way downstairs.

Rumi stood infront of the stairway, her back turned to her two bandmates.

 

Mira's head tilted towards Zoey, "This time,  Don't fuck us up." Zoey whipped her hed towards Mira, baffled she would even say that. "M-ME? ME FUCK US UP?! You don't do anything but dance around and scare away fans." She huffed out in anger. Mira, taken aback, fully turned her body towards Zoey, beginning to argue.

 

Rumi held her nose bridge with two fingers, getting more agitated with every insult thrown behind her. "Shut the hell up you two." Earning the silence she desired, she began to speak.

 

"This.. Is one of our BIGGEST concerts. We get to EAT as much as we so please." In the dark, Mira and Zoey's eyes turned a villain dark glowy purple, iridescent scales gleaming on their skin. Rumi walked onto the stairs to onstage, Mira and Zoey bumping eachother out of anger on the stairs.

 

 

♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

 

 

 

The beat started, the lights off completely. A water beam in the middle being the only light for now, the stadium turned a navy and teal blue. A contrast to their regular colors.

 

Rumi cut the water with her hands, making heavy puddles of water on the stage in various places. Rumi herself looked so different, her usual braid was now a high ponytail, a rightside hair piece out to frame her face. her face had purple clown makeup, her outfit was a miniskirt with jester patterns and a crop top with a clown button on the top.

 

She stepped to the light, Mira and Zoey in the shadow's as Rumi's voice beams.

 

"Get ready for a new look~ New rhythm and a new hook!"

 

Rumi moved about the stage as if it was her own room, her outfit captivating the audiences attention. She waltzed up to the front of the center stage.

 

Jinu looked confused to say the least.

 

"Not here to cuddle, more like leave you in a puddle!"

 

Mira was somehow on stage right as the lights went towards her, she reached out towards a camera as she pumped her chest. Rumi meets her in center stage as they do an illusion,

 

"Little double trouble got ya boy shook~"

 

On cue, they split, Zoey coming right in between them. Mic in hand and the lights turn orange and yellow.

 

"HAHAHAHA! HERE'S THE STITCH."

 

Romance tapped his foot against the stadium floor, drilling holes into Mira's figure. "They might aswell have just walked out in lingerie." Abby cut in, not that he should care seeing as his button pops open every two minutes of screentime he gets to show off why his name is Abby.

 

"Feed sins with ya taxes! Greedy green wins where the cash is!"

 

The rap seemed so normal, besides the fact that she was more brightly colored compared to Rumi and Mira. Well the rap WAS normal.

 

"Wanna sell my funny, slutty body to the masses~"

 

The three girls on stage struck a pose, Rumi's pose was on her hands and knees, Mira's was a split, Zoey's was lifting up her shirt to potentially flash the audience.. Thank god she had nipple stickers.

 

 

Baby immediately tried to cover his eyes, Romance looked horrified in seeing the wrong girls titties, Abby was cackling about what just happened like an evil witch, Mystery's face heated up as he turned his head down. And Jinu.. Poor Jinu.

 

"Feelin' lonely on a saturday night~ Well, money can't buy happiness but it can rent you paradise."

 

The stage lights dimmed as the girls sang together, a faint glow coming from the puddles. The boys were in shock to see how much they've changed just from three months.

 

The puddles turned back into the water beam as the girls rose from the floor on each side of the beam. The water catching a glow on their outfits.

 

Zoey's hair was fully down, covering her shoulders, her hair tinted and highlighted with yellow. Her makeup of a sad clown, her outfit a revealing yellow clown outfit. Mira's outfit reflected Zoey's. Her hair was half up half down, her outfit the same as Zoey's but pink. Her makeup of an angry clown.

 

"Give in to temptation, take your time. I'll be patient."

 

Their eyes finally met the other groups eyes, the girls eyes glinting that villainous purple.

 

"Be my little piggy, let me scratch your dirty itch~"

 

The beat dropped, the girls staying the air as they took in the audience. The girls faces looked rejoiced and delighted.

 

"I'M A KLOWN BITCH! FIX UP YOUR FROWN BITCH. GIVE ME THE CROWN BITCH!"

 

Mira and Zoey's voices were harsh. Rumi landed onto the ground first, walking up to the cameras,

 

"You hear that sound? You're going down."

 

Rumi stroke a poss on the floor as above her, Zoey and Mira entangled their limbs, their hair getting wet as they whipped it.

 

" 'Cause i'm a Klown Bitch! "

 

 

♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

 

 

The lights turned off completely, the only light showing was the glow from their eyes and their scales. Something felt off to Mystery. He only saw two of the three girls supposedly onstage. Zoey and Rumi were completely covering Mira from sight.

 

Mystery leaned to the side, His metaphorical blood running cold.

 

"We must leave."

 

Mystery's sudden voice snapped the rest of his band out of their thoughts. Mystery quickly grabbed his water and started pushing past people towards the exit.

 

The test of them caught the hint to start moving, Romance having to go back and drag Abby out of the stadium before he runs into them on his own.

Chapter 3: Backstage Shenanigans (part 1 of 2 ig)

Chapter by poisxn_girl

Summary:

Delivered by yours truly, the queen of procrastination, @POISXN_GIRL! Featuring: backstage talks between HUNTR/X!
----------
This was supposed to be an "all in one" type of chapter but writing from a hospital bed is not something i'd recommend.
I'm not happy with how my writing turned at all, so maybe i'll change styles in the next few works I'm doing

WORD COUNT: 1121 words

No one saw what Mira was doing. Or how she was slowly draining the life of two fans while Rumi and Zoey covered her from the audience. She had her mouth open, her sharp teeth shining from the glow of the bright lights of the stage. She didn't look human at all. 

The two unfortunate fans dropped to the ground, making a loud “BANG” noise. Luckily for them, or not, the crowd was under a collective trance and didn't realise that something strange was going on.  After a few seconds, the lights were turned back on and a few more songs were performed by HUNTR/X. Such as Takedown, How It's Done and Golden. 

Then, the lights pointed to the center of the stage. The concert was already over and the girls were preparing to leave. They had managed to get more than enough food for a pretty good amount of time.  With that thought in mind, Rumi walked to the center, Mira and Zoey following closely. 

“Thank you all for coming, it means a lot to us!” They had fake smiles plastered on their faces, waving and smiling sweetly towards the fans. 

“We really feed on your energy.” Mira spoke up with a smirk, winking at the Saja Boys. 

“Yeah! This, and all of you, mean the world for us!” Zoey made a heart with her hands and winked. A female fan actually fainted from the gesture. 

The crowd cheered. In their eyes, this was just another one of the concerts made by HUNTR/X, with nothing else happening. But only five boys seemed to realize that something really wrong was going on. 

Huntrix left the stage while blowing kisses to the fans. The Saja Boys just watched and wondered what the actual fuck was going on. 

“What the hell was that.” Baby was the first one to break out of his trance. “Did we miss something after dying?”

Mystery was next, then Abby, Romance and Jinu. The last two were still in shock by what they saw. 

Romance blinked twice and began to stutter. “W-what the fuck? D… Did I really see that?”

“Why are you stuttering? Aren't you a demon?”

“Shut the fuck up, Abby! You were just as surprised as we were!” He retorted angrily. 

“I was not!” - “Yes you were!”

“Ugh, there they go…” Baby groaned. 

“Enough! Let's just go surprise the hunters.” When Jinu saw Mystery raise his hand he continued. “We go backstage and attack them.”

Sounds of agreement left the other demons as they began to move towards the back. Everything was eerily quiet and no one knew what to say. 

“The pink one was kind of hot though.” “Shut up, Abby!”

Well, aside from that. 

---

Just as the three girls found themselves away from the prying eyes of the crowd, their smiles fell. 

Mira clenched her fists and resisted the urge to punch something. “You two saw them two, right? Annoying!”

“I thought we defeated them…” Zoey looked back. She hadn't been able to take her eyes off two boys ever since she spotted them between the fans. 

“...It clearly wasn't a hallucination.” Rumi looked at the other two girls. “I guess we'll just need to be rougher.”

“Hah. Now you're speaking my language!” The pinkette cracked her knuckles and growled. 

“Hey, Rumi. Where's Bobby? I don't see him.” Rumi watched as Zoey looked around with curiosity. 

“I sent him home. We may not be allowed to eat him, but at least we can control him.”

“Ooh!”

Mira just huffed and rolled her eyes, muttering a small “pathetic” under her breath, probably towards Zoey. 

“If we are going to kill these stupid demons for good, I call dibs on the pink ones.”

“Oh! Then I call dibs on Mystery and Baby!” Zoey jumped excitedly, then saw Mira looking at her with a raised eyebrow and judgmental eyes. “What?”

“So you already memorized their names? Are you fucking serious?”

“Hmphf. Do you really have to ask that many questions? Don't stick your nose into other people's business!”

“Oh, so now I'm being nosy? What a joke.”

Rumi sighed for what felt like the hundredth time in the day. Here they go again… If she didn’t interfere now, things would surely escalate.

“Why do you two have to act like little children all the time? It’s starting to get annoying.” That earned her a heated glare from the maknae who looked like she was about to throw a fit from the insult. 

“Oh, for fucks sake, just choose one, Rumi! It can’t be that hard!”

“...” The purple siren rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples. Gosh, do these two have to be this insufferable? “...Fine. I’ll get Jinu then.”

“Oh!~ You mean your little fling?” Zoey chuckled, it seemed that this was enough for her to forget everything that happened before. “Or should I say boyfriend?”

Something in Rumi snapped when these 5 words left the other siren’s mouth, and she ended up throwing a water bottle at her with enough force to bruise. Luckily, the bun-haired girl dodged just in time to avoid it.

“Shut up! He is not my damn boyfriend!” 

“Come on, you two even met in secret. Also, I’m not as dense as her,” Mira pointed at Zoey who gasped audibly. “But I can tell that something was definitely going between you two.”

It’s official, Rumi looked exactly like a tomato, if not worse from how red she was getting. Still, they were right in some aspects. Although her personality was a perfectly built facade, honed with years of experience, and it took a small crack for it to happen. 

Rumi had allowed herself to catch feelings without realizing. The same feelings that she had promised to not feel again after what happened in the past. After what she believed to be lies.

---

“PLEASE, [ｒｅｄａｃｔｅｄ]...   WHAT IF THINGS CAN BE DIFFERENT?” 

...

"MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO BE LIKE THIS."

...

- THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, RUMI. DEMONS AND SIRENS CANNOT COEXIST IN THE SAME PLACE. -

---

When Jinu died, Rumi thought that these small strands of emotion were finally gone, that she would be free again. But so far, they persisted and continued to pop up in the quietness of her mind, causing her to dig them six feet under. 

Yet, when she saw him, standing between the crowd, they came back at full force. That made her realize that she would need to take matters into her own hands and get rid of Jinu herself. Why? Because Rumi will not feel these things again, no matter what. And especially if she has a say in this.

 

---

- EITHER WAY, THEY WERE NO EXCEPTION. -

...

- I DOUBT YOUR FATHER EVEN LOVED YOUR MOTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE. -

...
