Who is She

(Sequel to Why)

Prolog

After Shido beheaded Cain in the 4th episode and went back to the church for Riho, a dark figure appeared. It was Tao. She jumped down to where Cain's body was and, with a smirk, began to talk to the corpse, "Well, look who lost their head over a simple matter." As she started to laugh, she started to scan the body also.

"Wait a minute," she glared with suspicion.

Since when does he wear pink? And I thought he had blond hair and gold eyes, not brown hair and red eyes. I suppose he could have made a change here and there but to be sure I'll conduct a little test. Tao knelt down next to the body and then cut it, rubbed her index finger across the wound, and tasted the blood. With a spit to the right she snapped in disgust, "Nasty." This isn't Cain but stupid double.

With fire enraging her spirit, she realized that they had all been tricked. "Damn it; that asshole pulled a fast one." After finishing her sentence she got a little too mad and caused a massive energy wave that burned the double's body and put out the fire. Osiris flied out from behind her and asked, "Master, what are you going to do if Cain was here as well as the double?"

"I don't know, my friend, but let's go home; I'm beat." So with that they vanished into the abyss of the dark night with the crescent moon as their only guide.

When they reached their dwelling, they settled down in their own ways. Osiris was in the bathroom putting the plug in the sink; after that, the little red dragon turned on the faucet, using it as a little bathtub. Meanwhile, Tao was outside in a pair of black pants and a black sports bra, swinging her sword at little glowing orbs. Now they weren't alone, for the real Cain was there watching Tao as he thought of how he would become close to her. After seeing what she did to his poorly made double, he took an interest in the mysterious creature called Tao.

After a few hours, Tao came back inside to rest. She walked over to the refrigerator, pulled out a cup of animal blood, and took a sip "Disgusting, this tastes like crap cold." So she poured it down the sink. "Hey, Osiris, what do you say I light a fire and we go to bed?" "Okay." he replied.

Tao just stood there for a moment, then walked out the door to the side of the house and found four pieces of wood. Then a sudden smell of old spice hit her as a gust of wind smashed into her pale skin. She quickly turned around, losing the piece of wood in her hand. She couldn't see anything.

"I must be going crazy; I need to go to sleep," she whispered under a heavy breath of relief.

Another 15 minutes went by, and now both Tao and Osiris were in their beds, trying to sleep.

Chapter 1

Cain then appears out of the black curtain of the night, sitting on the edge of the bed looking down at Tao.

Who are you? You seem to be there every time I'm about to carry out my plans.

He starts to lean over and strokes her cheek with the back of his finger.

Why did you taste that blood to see if it was me? I have never seen someone so young yet so powerful.

I know Tao isn't your real name, is it Aaron? Well, two can play at that game.

Cain leans over more and gently bites her neck without disturbing the mask of sleep she is in. He pulls away in shock

"Your blood...it...it tastes like mine." His eyes narrow at her as her outer appearance changes to that of a young girl with pointed ears and blond tipped brown hair.

So that's why you could never cast the final blow after you managed to knock me off my feet. You are my child, my real blood child.

His alertness warns him that it will be dawn soon. Refocusing on his new-found family member, he leans down again to take a little more of her sweet blood.

I think I'll give you a token of my time spent here. He takes off the ribbon in his hair and loosely ties it around her neck to cover the wound he had inflicted on her soft flesh.

One question is still in my mind, Aaron: why are you against me and the golden dawn? After all, you are a product of it.

Before Cain takes his leave, he bends down one last time; and this time, he pulls the sleeping child into a deep kiss. Who would have thought that something so radiant would have been found in an ally?

Standing up, he moves towards his cape, which was on the foot of the bed. Re-hooking it around his neck he slowly, and quietly, walks out of her room and disappears into the night, which was losing its possession of the world.

Okay, I'm done. I suck with writing, I know, but please review this anyway. Even if you don't like it, tell me PLEASE.
