Summary: It's illegal in the human and wizard world to commit incest. Yet Justin and Alex Russo can't help themselves. The magnetic pull was just too overbearing. The wizard council finds out about Justin's and Alex's incestuous relationship and sends someone over to investigate the extent of the crime.

*Author's Note*

I am not all too familiar with WOWP. The facts might be wrong. Please correct me if you spot any mistakes.

I am not sure if the wizard council really exists or if incest is illegal. I heard of the wizard council several times in the show and fanfics so I'm going with it.

I also don't know the layout of their house so I sort of created my own layout.

I'm sorry if it's wrong.

The characters will be OOC.

Chapter 1

It's illegal in the human and wizard world to commit incest. Justin and Alex knew that very well. They swore they would never cross that line considering they've been in each other's presence for so long. They screamed the word impossible at any one who mentioned it. Yet, it actually happened. It all started on the week when Jerry was called away to a wizard council meeting. Theresa was out shopping one day and left Justin and Alex home alone having taken Max with her. Everything went fine. They bickered as usual but then something clicked when Alex slipped on a towel on the floor in the kitchen and Justin caught her before she crashed to the tiles below her. She looked up into his eyes and her breath hitched. He asked if she was ok. Slowly, she nodded but he didn't let go. Instead the two stared at each other to the extent it was no longer necessary. Without thinking, they moved closer and shared a small tentative kiss. Electricity flared in their stomachs; the kiss deepened.

Ever since then, they continued the forbidden act of love behind their friends and family's back. They never thought they would get caught until their mother and father walked in on them. Caught in a very provocative position, they had no excuse. After all, brother and sister should not be having fun in bed naked. After they were properly dressed and explained the situation, their mother was heartbroken but was still supportive. Their father was a different story. He wasn't extremely mad but he was flaring. He couldn't even form a sentence in his rage and sadness. It took him hours to calm down and clearly think of the situation. When his head was cleared and his thoughts straightened out, Jerry only had one fear; the wizard council.

The council wasn't like human councils. They had people who are hired just to investigate the wizards living in the human world. Nothing can escape the council's eyes. If the council caught wind of Alex and Justin's relationship Jerry couldn't even begin to imagine their punishment. Incest was strictly forbidden in the wizard world unlike the human world. It was still illegal but wizards were strictly forbidden to have relationships with family members.

Justin and Alex knew of this too. They were ready to face any punishment the council decided to throw at them. They spoke of it with dignity to calm their father and mother's nerves. Yet when a letter arrived from the council saying they know of the situation and according to protocol legal measures will be taken; they were not so sure they were quite ready. Another letter arrived saying they have dispatched an investigator to investigate the situation and determine the extent of their crime before a verdict will be reached. It said the investigator will arrive within two days. On the appointed day, the Russo family sat in the living room nervously as they fidgeted around as they eyed the door. Their stomachs dropped ten stories as the doorbell rang. They sat like stones. No one got up. The doorbell rang again and again.

Being the man of the house, Jerry stood up woodenly and walked to the door. He opened it with caution. His eyes widened as he saw the other person on the other side of the door.

"Yua?" he squeaked in the manliest way possible. He watched as the woman outside stared back at him.

"Good evening Jerry Russo. Long time no see. I was surprised when I heard." She spoke in a smooth baritone voice. It was just like he remembered. In fact she looked the same as she did when they last met around two decades ago. She was still the albino teenager with the rare golden eyes. Not a single sign of middle age catching up to her unlike him. She raised a delicate white eyebrow. "You going to invite me in?" she asked a bit offended that he's staring at her. He apologized and invited her in. As he watched her walk in, he noticed her clothing a bit more. She kept to her style; black clothing and three inch knee length black boots. It was like time has stopped for her…

The others all stood up immediately and took a look at her. They were none the less shocked they sent a teenager. But the fact that she was an albino was more shocking to Alex. She's never seen an albino before. This was her first time. Though she heard rumors they were all fidgety and weird looking; this woman stood strong and looked better than the average female. Jerry walked hurriedly to his family like Yua was going to do something to them.

"Yua, I'd like for you to meet my family. This is my wife Theresa. And my children Max, Justin, and Alex." He pointed to each of them. "Guys this is Yua Oshiro." Yua nodded to them but ignored Theresa and Max. She walked directly up to Justin and Alex. Alex shrunk back against Justin's back for some reason. Justin glared at her and placed a protective hand against Alex's back. Yua smirked.

"Possessive… so you're the infamous pair that has the council screaming murder. They haven't had an incest problem for about two decades now. They're not so happy the record came to an end." Her voice was threatening but she lost interest in them and turned to Jerry. "I'm surprised it was your children that broke the record off. I'd expect more from you." Her voice wasn't so menacing but it still held a negative feel to it. Theresa looked confused.

"Jerry, do you know her?" she asked. Jerry nodded.

"I met her in school when I was a kid. We were friends but never that close. I haven't seen her ever since I reached my twenties." The family's eyes grew wide.

"She's a middle aged woman!" Max screamed. Yua snickered.

"She should be…" Jerry answered.

"My age is of no concern right now. I was sent by the council to investigate these so called incestuous siblings." Yua spoke the last two words as if it was some sort of evil spell. Hurt formed on Alex and Justin's faces as they registered the glare on her face. "I'll advise you two here and now. Incest may be illegal in the wizard world but there have been exceptions. You have a chance to convince me that you two are of an exception. After all the final verdict is reached upon what my report says about the incident." The two couldn't believe what they were hearing. They still had a chance to be together and not be punished? Was this for real?

"Really?" Alex asked. Yua nodded her head. She folded her arms.

"I am telling the truth. Not only am I your investigator. I am also your legal advisor. I am authorized to advise you of your current situation and any possible ways you can wiggle your way out of it. Whether you take my advice and able to convince me is on you. No one is to help you if you decide to convince me to let you two off the hook. If I find anyone helping you, your chance will be taken away and I am not allowed to pass the exception to the above. Am I clear?" they all nodded. "Good." She spoke her final words.

"Ummm….." Alex didn't know what to say. She was at a lost. She was quite happy there was still a chance for them. After all she's good at manipulating people into doing what she wants but this girl seems different from the people she's manipulated. She comes on to her as a strong independent woman who won't be messed with that easily. She snuck a look at Justin who has turned away from Yua and hugged her tightly to him. Behind him Yua snorted slightly and wrinkled her nose as she looked around the house. It looked in good conditions and a healthy environment.

"Good thing you keep your house clean and healthy, Jerry. The living environment counts as well." She spoke as she ran a finger along the couch's fabric.

"Yua, do you have a place to stay?"

"Oh? The council didn't inform you? I am to stay with the appointed family until I finish my investigation." Then she bowed to Theresa and Jerry. "I'm afraid I'll be imposing for quite a while. I'm sorry for any inconvenience." Theresa shied away and whispered to Jerry in discomfort.

"What is she doing? Why is she bowing to us?"

"It's a Japanese thing. They bow out of respect." Jerry whispered back. She made a 'o' with her mouth and smiled slightly at Yua.

"It's ok. Did you eat yet? We were just about to start dinner." Theresa walked her over to the table. Everyone sat down with Max at one end and then Alex and Justin next to each other with their parents sitting next to Yua. They began dinner. As they passed the mash potato around, Jerry started a conversation with Yua.

"So Yua, I haven't seen you since you moved away when you were around 15?" Yua nodded in confirmation.

"My family had some complications with the council. We had to move to avoid some disastrous events that were about to take place." Yua spoke as she took a little mashed potato and passed it on to Alex who sat across from her. As she looked up Alex avoided eye contact. She looked ready to cry. Yua placed her fork down.

"Ms. Russo, I understand that having a member of the council here investigating your relationship matters is upsetting. I had my run-ins with the council in my teens quite often. However I can assure you I am not here with the intention to break up your relationship and serve punishment. That is the least I want to do. My goal is to establish an understanding from the beginning to the end. That way I can help you. The council may not approve of my ways in handling my investigations but I was never one to follow exactly by the book." Alex lifted her head slowly and looked at her. Slowly she allowed the tears to flow. Instantly Justin had his arms around her. She covered her eyes and sobbed loudly.

"I-I'm sorry! I can't help it!" she shouted. Yua nodded her head and stood up.

"Perhaps I should excuse myself for now. My presence seems to have a big impact on Ms. Russo. I'll be out on the roof if anyone needs me. Ms. Russo, I hope you'll understand I am not only here as an investigator and an advisor. I am also here on a more personal level. If you have anything you want to say to me, I hope you will express them proudly." With that she bowed and excused herself to the roof. Alex continued her sobbing as she took in Yua's words. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she wondered how Yua was able to be so composed and comfort her. She was a part of the council. She should be against her. She should sneer at her. That would make it so much easier for Alex. Yet Yua chose to sympathize and empathize with her. That wasn't what she expected from a person of the council.

She excused herself from the table as well and headed upstairs with Justin trailing behind her. As they reached her room, Alex dropped to the bed and cried loudly. Justin sat down next to her and hugged her tightly. Smoothing her hair and kissing her forehead every once in a while.

"It's ok Alex. It'll be ok. We find a way out of this." Justin assured her.

"I don't know what to do! What if we don't find a way out of this?" she asked. Justin shushed her and petted her hair.

"We will. I promise." He kissed her softly on the lips and watched as Alex pouted cutely before reaching up and kissing him once more on the lips. They climbed into bed together with her in his arms and her head on his chest.

"I love you, Justin." She whispered as she closed her eyes.

"I love you two." Justin answered as he kissed her head and slipped his eyes closed.

Outside Alex's bedroom window, Yua sat on the fire escape and listened to their steady breathing. She looked up at the full moon with an emotionless expression. The steady breathing of the two inside quieted as they slipped deeper into their sleep. She slipped her vision to down below her where New York citizens walked the streets happily; all heading home. Her gaze dragged itself into Alex's bedroom as she observed the sleeping pair. Leaning back against the brick wall she continued to look into the window besides her. I wonder how they'll turn out in the future… I'm sure you'd be curious too… Shou. She took out a small black note book and a pen.

Incest

Day 1

As I arrived at the Russo home, the family was quite mannered and nice. Alex and Justin were obviously raised in a healthy and happy home. The furniture was well taken care of, the house was kept clean, and the family atmosphere was more than perfect. I expected to be treated with resent by the family. Instead I welcomed in and introduced in a nicely done manner. I admit Jerry Russo and I have been friends back in the days but I will not allow our past friendship to cloud my judgment on his children. I was surprised the pair in question was Jerry's children. I have known him to be a well grounded person who abided by the laws of the council. To think his children would invoke the council's wrath is to be said quite a miracle. But I wasn't surprised when Jerry and his wife Theresa, a mortal, were supportive of them. Even though those words were not spoken, I can tell Jerry and Theresa are supportive and protective parents. They will not allow harm to be met with their children.

Justin and Alex Russo weren't so happy to see me but that is to be expected. I am an investigator from the wizard council. I am here investigating their relationship. I expected to be shown some resentment from the pair in question. Yet I can tell they are very much in love. The DNA that bounds them as sister and brother are of no concern to them. They are neither regretful nor guilty of their love. Instead they are able to express their love openly.

I was invited to dine with them even though I can tell my presence is of a nuisance to the Russo family. Alex Russo was still emotional from my arrival and assumed I was here to break her and Justin Russo apart. I reassured her that was not the case. I am here to understand their relationship. I want to help them. I do not wish to present a report that will sign their future away. I do not wish to serve them any form of punishment. All I wish for is for this to end in the best possible way. Tears and bloodshed is not my intention. I am far from wanting such a terrible end.

As I sit here, I wonder, how are they able to hold onto a love so strong that I was shaken by it? When I approached the pair the first time and address them, Alex was scared of me. She hid behind Justin in hopes of gaining some distance and protection against me. Bravely, Justin protected her and glared at me with such an intense force. He was well aware that I am his ticket to freedom or punishment yet he was ready to go against me if I did anything harmful to Alex. When Alex cried at the dining table, Justin tugged her into a hug even though I was there observing their interaction. He kept his eyes on Alex and spared me the glare I knew ready to appear and the string of curses he was holding back. He didn't dare look at me. He knew if he did, he would not be able to control himself.

I watch them sleep in each other arms; I am confident enough to confirm their love is very much real. To them this love is not a playful matter. They are serious.

Yua Oshiro

Yua placed her book and pen away as she took one more look at the sleeping duo before climbing her way back up to the rooftop. As she climbed over the small wall surrounding the roof she was surprised to see Jerry sitting there with two beer bottles in hand. She jumped down from the wall and leaned against it not betraying any emotions.

"Do you need something?" she asked. Jerry shook his head and walked up to her. He leaned on his elbows on the wall beside her. He handed her a bottle. She took it gently from his hands and took a swig.

"Theresa thought I should come up here and catch up with you a little." He said.

"Your wife is not quite like the others. The families I have met all have wives who watch me like vultures. Yet your wife volunteered you up here to talk with me?" Yua chuckled and leaned back to take another look at the night sky.

"Theresa is a bit different. She knows I love her and won't look at someone else. After all, I gave up my magic to marry her."

"That gave me quite a shock when I heard from my colleague. Jerry Russo gave his magic to the council to marry a mortal even though it's forbidden." Yua closed her eyes. "I never would have thought of it."

"Well, when it comes to love you can't be picky." Jerry raised his bottle against his mouth and drank. Yua caught his meaning. She was about to advise him that what he's doing is illegal but decided not to. The situation for him was bad enough; he needed to do something to make himself feel better; to make himself feel like he is doing the right thing as a father. "I was a bit shocked when they said you moved." He spoke suddenly. Yua looked at him.

"Really," she spoke in a sarcastic and disbelief voice. "It was quite obvious. After all, I moved into the neighborhood. It made quite sense I might move again. I didn't grow up with you and the kids back then. There wasn't much of a connection. We were bound to move." She said and took another swig. Jerry laughed a little.

"So… you said you had some run-ins with the council. Why'd you end up working with the council?" Yua placed the beer down and looked up before turning her head sideways to him. He shuddered at the look she was giving him. It was a wild and animal look. Her eyes were menacing as her expression showed a hint of tragedy and blood lust. She looked like a predator ready to jump its prey.

"There are things that can't be avoided no matter how hard you try. Especially if it involves the council." She pushed off of the wall. "It's getting late, shouldn't you be saying good night to your wife?" she took finished up her beer. Jerry turned around.

"Speaking of getting late, are you planning on sleeping out here?" Yua snorted and sat down on a chair.

"It's no big deal; I'm used to sleeping outside."

"THAT WON'T DO!" Theresa suddenly came up the stairs and grabbed a hold of Yua's arm. "You won't be sleeping out here. It's far too cold." She dragged her inside with Jerry following behind with the beer.

"Mrs. Russo…"

"Theresa is fine."

"Theresa, you don't have to go through all the trouble. I can easily sleep anywhere." Yua protested.

"No that won't do, you can sleep on our couch. It quite comfy and I already taken out a fluffy pillow and a blanket for you." Theresa pushed her towards the living room and sat her down on the couch. Jerry stood beside her.

"You should listen to her, Yua. It'll do you some good." He smiled. Theresa nodded. Reluctantly Yua agreed and bid them good night. As they walked back to their room, she pulled out her small black note book and added:

P.S. The rumors of Theresa that surround the wizard world did her no justice. She is far more kind and motherly even towards me, the person that might very well ruin her family and the future of her children's lives.

A/N: Thank you for reading my first JALEX story. I've been reading some of the other author's stories and got a bit caught up in wanting to make my own. I hope you enjoyed it. Please give me a review on what you think about the first chapter.
