Chapter 1

"Mother Kaiya?" a small child called as she watched her fellow orphans and a nun stand in a corner, huddled together in fear. The girl had black hair, scarlet eyes, pale skin, pointed ears, and fangs. A black fuzzy tail whipped around behind her. She stepped closer to the other children and the nun held up her cross to her. She hesitated.

"Stay back!" She yelled as she held the other children tight. The girl turned around, looking for what was scaring her. She then pointed a finger at herself.

"Me?" the girl asked with a shaky voice.

"Demon!" Mother Kaiya yelled as the other kids began crying.

"Go away, Yuki!" a girl with short, brown hair yelled. The raven-haired girl turned to her with wide eyes. She was still as tears flowed down her face.

"M-Mika...I-" "Just leave us alone!" the brunette screamed. The dark-haired girl turned to the nun.

"Go away you evil demon!" she said as she began crying but didn't loosen her grip on her cross. The girl, named Miyuki, looked down at her hands as they emitted a frosty air. The ground beneath her was quickly freezing over. She shook as she turned around and ran out of the church. Miyuki watched as the place she once called home was fading from her view. She was just standing there...She was just playing with Mika and her sister Isaki. They were running around playing tag. She had touched Isaki when she...Turned to ice. She just stood there in fear as her body quickly began freezing. She was completely iced when she fell over, a solid thud sounded when she hit the floor. Mika had screamed, feeling nothing but horror and anger.

Now everyone hated her.

They despised her.

They feared her.

She ran through the town, eyes overflowing with tears. She ducked through broken fences, trash, and people as she ran. She didn't know where she was going...Or how long she would be running. But she knew that she was leaving. Leaving her town. Leaving her friends and family. Family? What family? She was an orphan for heaven's sake! She had no one left. This thought made her cry even harder.

"Excuse me," someone grabbed her. She looked over to find another child. He had green hair and blue eyes. What made Miyuki's eyes widen was the fact that he had fangs and pointed ears like her.

"You have..." she looked at him with wide eyes as she put a hand to her ears, her black hair covering them.

"I'm Amaimon. You should come with me," he held his hand out to her. She took it. She didn't know why but she felt she could trust him. Presumably, because he was like her. He could tell her what was going on. He could explain. Miyuki might have been confused and scared at the moment but she was always smart. She nodded as Amaimon turned around and began walking, hand in hand with the girl. He put a key in an unmarked door and stepped through. He brought Miyuki in. She looked around, finding that she was in a castle-like structure. She felt this familiarity coming from the building as she walked with Amaimon. It calmed her.

"This way," he led her to a large room with a shadowy figure sitting on what looked like a throne.

"Is this it?" he asked. Miyuki tried to look past the shadow but couldn't. There was no one there. Only the shadow and glowing red eyes.

"Yes, father," Amaimon said as he looked to Miyuki who was simply staring at the...man. She was excited to meet him.

"I'm Satan," the shadow said. Miyuki had heard about the devil from stories Mother Kaiya told her. The other children were always scared by the idea of an evil that rivaled God. She was always intrigued, however. The thought of someone being so powerful and breaking off the path to create their own legion and strike fear into the hearts of every mortal on Earth...Well, it was fascinating to her.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," she said as she bowed. Satan and Amaimon were surprised by her neutral reaction. "I'm Miyuki. I'm four-years-old," she said.

"Did you just discover you had some abilities, by chance?" Satan asked. Miyuki nodded. She had finally stopped crying but the tears came back.

"I...I killed Isaki..." her shoulders began shaking.

"My dear, do you know who your mother is?" Satan asked. She shook her head. "You just committed one of the greatest crimes ever, yet when confronted with the ultimate evil, you're calm?" Satan asked with a questioning tone. If he had eyebrows, they would be raised.

"Everyone has their own ideas of what evil and good means, Mister Satan," Miyuki said with sudden boldness.

"Have you ever met your mother?" the devil asked. She shook her head once again. "Your mother was a Yuki-onna," he said. Miyuki looked down, wondering where she had heard of that name..."A Yuki-Onna is a lady of frost. You may learn more about her in the library," Satan motioned to Amaimon. "Amaimon can help you," he said as the green-haired demon nodded.

"Thank you, sir," Miyuki nodded.

"One more thing," Satan got Miyuki's attention. "How would you like to stay here? Stay in Gehenna and you can harness your powers and learn about your heritage. Here no one will blame you for what you've done," he said. The last sentence caused Miyuki's eyes to narrow. She delayed in answering.

"I would like that...very much," She said as she gave him a promising look. The shadow gestured for them to leave.

10 Years Later...

"Miyuki!" Amaimon yelled. The now fourteen-year-old Miyuki had just frozen his hand. She had been reading up on her mother and even had embraced her powers a bit more. Jer magic was weak since she did not train much.

She had read many books and even talked more than she did when she originally got to Gehenna, even if it was in a monotone voice most of the time. Sometimes Amaimon was able to find those little spots of humanity and make them peek their ugly little heads out.

"Don't touch my food," she said without much emotion. She held a book in front of her, had a dango stick in her mouth, and had her dark red eyes trained on the words of her book.

Her black hair now reached her knees. Half of it was pulled up into two buns at the top of her head. She kept her tail well groomed and she found she could make her eyes glow, letting her see in the dark. Sometimes, Amaimon couldn't tell if she was an Ice Queen or a cat with how she scratched when he tried to steal her food.

"It looks good though...and I'm the one who brought it for you!" Amaimon whined.

"I'll have to talk to your father about that. I don't think it is very fair that you're able to go Assiah and not me. I'm much more capable than you, anyway," Miyuki said cooly as she scanned the pages of her book. She had been learning about her mother and what kind of demon she was. "Look," she turned the book around to show Amaimon as she stuffed a rice ball into her mouth.

"Yuki-Onna appears on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and blue lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape. She sometimes wears a white kimono, but other legends describe her as nude, with only her face and hair standing out against the snow. Despite her inhuman beauty, her eyes can strike terror into mortals. She floats across the snow, leaving no footprints and she can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened," she read a passage from the book. She described how Yuki-Onna was depicted to have snow or ice powers.

"You think you have those abilities?" Amaimon asked as he snuck a piece of her food into his mouth. She nodded, not noticing the snack theft.

"I already have developed the ice powers. With a little more training I might be able to change into the mist or snow...maybe even levitate a little," she said as she kept her eyes focused on the book.

"Yuki-Onna, Father needs to talk to you," A lower level demon called a hellhound said as it walked in. Miyuki nodded as she got up and walked to where Satan was sitting. She bowed. He hated when she did that but she was always formal anyway.

"Miyuki," he said.

"Yes, Devil?" she tilted her head slightly.

"I have a mission for you," he got her attention and she straightened up.

"A mission? I don't even have full control of my powers yet," she said, folding her hands together.

"You will have two years to focus on your powers. I suggest you train with Amaimon and stop reading all of my books," Satan said. Miyuki sighed.

"What's the mission?" she asked.

"You must find my son," he said. She widened her eyes slightly. She almost laughed.

"You have a son? The almighty Satan, king of demons, darkness, and evil, the fallen angel...impregnated a woman...and had a child?" Miyuki teased.

"Shut your mouth," Satan spat. Miyuki composed herself. "You must find him and aid in his capture in Assiah. His name is Rin Okumura," the shadow man said. Miyuki nodded.

"No sooner said than done, sir," she said as she left. She went to find Amaimon who was devouring all of her snacks. He looked up to see her and froze. "Amaimon," she said, lacking emotion but somehow causing a dark aura to form around her. Amaimon stopped and look up at her.

"Miyuki," he nodded.

"Is that my food?"

"Possibly..."

"You're dead,"

Two Years Later...

Miyuki woke to the sound of her alarm clock blaring. She slammed her hand on it but missed the snooze button. She grabbed the side of it and froze it, the ringing stopped immediately.

"I liked it better in Gehenna..." she said blatantly as she stumbled out of bed. She brushed her hair, pulling it into its normal half up space buns. She then braided what was left of the part she used for the buns, the braid falling a few inches past her shoulders. She looked in the mirror. She was wearing the school uniform but had a long, black tailcoat over it, the lilac skirt still visible. She sighed as she forced her demon tail under her shirt. She walked out the door with her bag. She found her way to the auditorium where she caught the stares of multiple new students. She walked onto the stage, sitting next to the teachers. She was Vice President and had to make a speech with Yukio Okumura, the class president. He might have also been born a son of Satan, but he didn't have his powers and wasn't her target.

"Attracting some attention are we now, Miss Hayami?" Mephisto asked. She had taken in a surname during her time at True Cross Academy. She was now, Miyuki Hayami. Exwire and Yuki-Onna. Of course, the only one who knew of her demonic powers was Mephisto Pheles.

"Save it, Mephisto," she said coolly. "You're lucky you keep your tail tucked in..." she mumbled as she sat down. He smirked, hearing what she said. He began his speech to the students, at the same time opening the demon telepathic link that they all shared.

"He's here," he said. She started scanning the students until she found a boy with dark hair, blue eyes, and a sword.

'Bingo...' she thought to herself. She waited till Mephitso and Yukio finished their speeches. She heard the whole room fall silent when she came to the microphone.

"I'm sure you're tired of speeches by now," she said, still looking at Rin before looking to the whole crowd of kids. "So, I'll keep this short and simple. I'm Miyuki Hayami, the Vice President and I wish you all to try your hardest this year. True Cross Academy is a school for the elite and while we welcome all students, new or old, your work should be extraordinary. Now, please enjoy your time here and I look forward to seeing you grow," she said. She stepped down from the pedestal as she opened the link with Rin.

"She's in the same grade as Yukio...Man, he's lucky..." he thought.

"But your brother is not my target," she said to him via the link. His eyes widened as he looked to the people next to him then he scratched his head. She shut the link when Mephisto closed the ceremony and everyone clapped.

"Did you see him?" Mephisto asked while everyone stood up to leave. The Ice Queen nodded.

"This mission may be easier than I thought," she said.

Elsewhere In Kyoto...

A girl with shoulder blade length brown hair was stepping off a train. She had a sword in a black bag that was strapped to her back. She wore a black long sleeve sweater with a collar, a loose red tie, and a plaid miniskirt that blew around her body as the train behind her started moving again. She bit into a bun and ate it as her emerald green eyes closed. She finished eating her bite then sighed.

"I'm coming for you, Miyuki," she said as she stuffed the bread into her mouth then began walking.
