A young girl walked slowly through the forest. She had a man and a woman that looked slightly older then her on each side. Her bright red hair hung into her face, her golden brown eyes seemed entranced by the ground below her. She seemed pretty normal, except for the small ears on top of her head. "Why now? Why do we have to go see her tonight?" Her voce broke the silence between the three of them.

The woman responded. She moved her sliver hair from her face, to reveal amber eyes staring off into the distance. "You can't go your whole life without meeting your grandmother. Don't you think 16 years is long enough?" She looked at the girl from the corner of her eye. "Hmm?"

It was the man's turn to speak. Soft red eyes looked at the girl's small figure. He smiled and looked away from her. "Why would you ask such a strange question?"

The girl looked up at her mother, then her father. Her eyes seemed full of sadness, remorse. "I... I just have a really bad feeling about tonight, is all." Her voice became silent again, and her eyes fell to the ground once more. Her mom and dad exchanged glances. Both of them stopped walking then.

"Kaiya..." The black haired male looked down at her worriedly. He'd never seem his daughter look so upset in her life. It hurt him.

She looked up and one of her ears twitched. She stopped walking but didn't look back at her parents. Her eyes were fixed on the small house in the clearing before her. And the woman who sat outside.

Once he was sure he had her attention he continued on. "Don't worry about it. Naomi is a nice girl." He paused and looked over at his wife. He knew why they had never taken Kaiya to see her grandmother. Why they had shut her out and kept her secluded from all people for years. "Besides, you can't always trust your 'feelings'."

"Fine then." Kaiya spoke sourly. "Lead the way." She could sense a slight change in the air. An ominous wind blew through the forest. The woman in front of the house stood and waved at them. Kaiya's heart was pounding. Couldn't her parents sense that? Were they really that stupid?

"Hi mom!" The woman yelled. "Let's go Satoshi." She took the man's hand in hers and started walking towards her mother.

"Katsuo! Satoshi! It's so nice to see you guys again!" Naomi started walking forward, magenta eyes fixed on her daughter and son-in-law. She stopped dead in her tracks halfway to them, though. Her hand held her head and her eyes snapped shut.

Kaiya still stared at her grandmother from afar. Naomi's scent was changing quickly. As was her overall appearance. Pink hair darkened to a deep purple color, magenta eyes faded to red. Even her skin changed to an almost white color. Kaiya sighed softly. She couldn't believe her parents hadn't seen this coming.

Satoshi pulled a wide eyed Katsuo behind him and stood in front of her protectively. "I thought you said she had control!?" He hissed into Katsuo's ear from over her shoulder.

"Too much emotion for one day. We should've waited longer..." She whispered back at her husband. Maybe she shouldn't have trusted the man they'd been sending to check on her mother. They didn't know him that well anyways.

"So that's why you guys wouldn't let me meet her.. She's dangerous!" Kaiya was suddenly at Satoshi's side. "I told you. Both of you. Still think I shouldn't trust my 'feelings' Papa?" She grinned and looked at the two of them. She sensed something far worse then this coming. And quickly to. The three of them weren't going to be able to live as a family anymore.

Katsuo sighed from behind the two of them. She pushed past Kaiya and Satoshi. "I've dealt with this before." She took a step closer to Naomi, then another. And another. Until she was face to face with her. No way was she going to allow her mother to hurt her family.

"That was with Haru, Kat... You can't do this on your own.." Satoshi whispered into the wind. He looked down at Kaiya sadly. "If it gets to bad... I want you to run. Faster then you ever had before. Got it?"

Kaiya nodded once and took a step back. Satoshi looked forward and went towards Katsuo and Naomi. Kaiya just watched her parents in amazement. They both acted as if they didn't care about Naomi at all. Were they strong enough for this challenge?

"Two against one? Now that's not fair." Red eyes glinted in the moonlight. Naomi grinned widely, baring her fangs. She disappeared from sight momentarily and appeared just behind Katsuo. "Pathetic hanyou. Don't honestly think you can win, do you?" Naomi laughed darkly and brushed her fangs against Katsuo's ear. "Baka. You thought wrong."

Naomi kicked Katsuo to the ground. Satoshi quickly retaliated by sending a kunaii at Naomi. It hit her in the stomach. She winced and pulled the knife out. The wound healed automatically. "Is that the best you got?"

Katsuo pushed herself off of the ground. Her amber eyes narrowed at her mother. Satoshi drew his sword and pointed it at Naomi. He didn't bother answering the question.

"Still want to fight, huh? Knowing you have no chances?" Naomi shrugged and unsheathed her own sword. Much larger then Satoshi's. It was a wonder how she held it up. She stood with both hands on the hilt.

Satoshi swung his sword at Naomi's legs. She countered by swinging her sword upwards. When they hit there was a loud clang and a momentary spark. Satoshi jumped backwards and away from Naomi. Then raised his sword again. Naomi charged forward and swung her sword at Satoshi's, knocking it from his hands and clear across the clearing. He watched in amazement as his sword flew off and his eyes widened slightly.

Satoshi ducked under Naomi's next swing and started towards his sword. Katsuo intercepted Naomi's next swing. She held tightly onto both Naomi's hand and her wrist. "Think again." Her voice whispered into Naomi's ear. Naomi sent her elbow into Katsuo's side swiftly. The hilt of her blade making contact with Katsuo's stomach as she fell.

Naomi caught sight of Kaiya then. She smirked and made way to the girl. Kaiya turned immediately and started running towards the forest. It was then that she vowed she'd never run from another battle in her life. Her foot got caught in a ditch and she fell face first to the ground. "Dammit." She cussed under her breath as she rolled onto her back.

Naomi was standing over her with her sword raised. Kaiya felt her breath slip away as Naomi started bringing her sword downwards. It all played out in slow motion. She snapped her eyes shut and braced herself for the attack.

The fresh scent of blood filled the air. Kaiya opened her eyes slowly. Katsuo bit back a scream. She had a large wound on her side. Naomi was further off now and Satoshi had his sword back.

"Don't let this happen again." Katsuo hugged her daughter tightly and whispered words Kaiya couldn't understand. Katsuo's body became limp and cold. Kaiya jumped back, she could feel her whole body shaking. She looked up at her father and grandmother. Naomi smirked at Satoshi and shook her head.

A blinding white light surrounded the area. Kaiya covered her eyes. She heard her father scream and could just barely smell his blood in the air. Everything started falling away from her and hot tears formed in her eyes. She couldn't stand it, losing consciousness she fell to the ground.

Hours later a lone demon walked through the clearing. Three bodied lay dead. He smirked and walked past the two half demons closest to him. Straight towards his little puppet. "Get up Naomi." His stern voice broke through the silence. He kicked her side swiftly and his long brown hair fell into emotionless green eyes.

Naomi opened her eyes slowly. She raised her body to her knees and looked up at the man. Her appearance was completely back to normal except for her crimson red eyes. "Sorry." She whispered up at him.

His narrowed eyes stared off into the distance. "Where's the girl?" He looked down at Naomi. When she didn't answer he lifted her from the ground by the collar of her shirt. "Answer me" He growled at her.

Naomi winced and snapped her eyes shut. She braced herself for the worse. "I- I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know!?" He yelled at her. Her body fell to the ground hardly when her let her go. "Find her." He gave Naomi one more glance before turning his back on her. "Soon."

Naomi nodded slowly and closed her eyes. She refused to move from her fallen spot on the ground. Not until she knew that monster was gone from the area.

A/N: Well there it is.
