"Why are you here?" Yukina asked, "And what was the point of writing that on the wall?" The female gestured to the dried crust of: Get away from the ancient demon: Surebrek

"Just giving them a fair warning not to come any closer to this place," Sushiki said, smiling widely, "It would be a pain if they got themselves caught in the other world."

Yukina pursed her lips in a serious manner, "I won't deny that it would be troublesome to explain, but how can we prevent them knowing what happens, especially if they have cameras set up in this place."

The blue haired man sighed, closed his eyes, and began to rub his temples, "Even as me the guardian and you as the sister of the king of the other world, we won't be able to persuade him. You know how he's like, when he makes his mind up no one can stop him."

Scarlet eyes glared into the, now open, gold eyes, "I am aware how hot my half brother's temper can get, and I know how he is going to treat us if someone finds out. Well I know how he's going to treat you. Even if he's only my half brother, he wouldn't dare harm me. It's just the fact of 'If he finds out about what you did he is going to kill you' kind of thing. I'm sure you remember your last punishment of letting the living enter the world of the dead. Although I doubt he will kill them, you're going to really have a hard time."

Sushiki shivered. Even though it had been well over 150 years ago, he could still remember.

"Yeah, I remember," he said not liking the idea at all of being punished, "I'd rather not speak of it though."

"That," Yukina said, "is obvious. Even humans want to forget their past mistakes, but never succeed. Though I wonder if I should tell that black haired man about what we are… He seems the type to keep secrets. Plus if we don't tell him, he's going to keep prodding in our business. What do you think?"

"NO! ABSOLUTLY NOT!" Sushiki yelled, fearfully shooting upwards, "I will not go through that punishment again because of you."

"Relax, I wasn't talking to you, Sushiki," Yukina said, "I was talking to him."

Sushiki whipped around to be almost nose to nose with Yukina's half brother, Sedah. Taking a step back, he stammered, "O-oh. H-hi M-Master…"

Ignoring Sushiki's stammers, Sedah shrugged, "Do what you think is right, Yuki. By the way, have you chosen a mate yet?"

Yukina scowled, "All the male humans here are blockheads or egoistic. Then again, so are the people on the other side. I'll find someone eventually."

Sedah's cold scarlet eyes, much like Yukina's, turned to the silver haired female, "If they do not accept us, kindly erase their memories from them. I cannot have humans blabber secrets to others."

"Sakura seems to trust them. And who Sakura trusts, I trust," Yukina said.

Sedah's black hair fell in front of his face, "Very well, should I be present during this explanation?"

"I think that may be the best choice," Yukina said, "But first, I want to see how far they can get before we explain. I'll play my part, and you play yours."

The game is set. Three questions will be the maximum. No more, no less. They have as much time as the need. Winner is the one who finds out first: Mate or Explanation. Begin

Four hours after Yukina leaves her house

So the game was set. A couple hours after Yukina left the SPR office, Naru checked the tape again. The house was quiet almost spooky. His dark blue eyes scanned the cameras until he spotted a lump underneath the covers of Yukina's bedroom. Spotting a bit of silver hair in the mess of blankets, he looked down. It was getting very late. His eyes were begging for sleep and his brain had seemed to have shut down. Perhaps he would finish this research tomorrow. After all, everyone had left.

Naru pulled his string from the lamp, shutting it off. The narcissist pulled out his keys, turned and locked the door to the SPR office. Walking briskly he stopped at his black car. An unpleasant chill brushed against his pale neck. It made Naru feel as if he was being watched. Looking around and spotting no one, he got into his car, started the engine and drove to his apartment, the chill never leaving his body.

Unlocking his apartment and relocking it after he got in didn't help. He just couldn't shake that uneasy feeling off. He turned around to see the outdoors from the large window. He stiffened, seeing a pair of scarlet red eyes, much like Yukina's eyes, before the eyes disappeared.

Immediately, Naru took his blue book entitled Spirits and Ghosts and began looking up the eyes. He was fairly sure that Yukina could not levitate or fly. Plus she was asleep. He looked up startled (Although his face forbid to show it) when he saw a shadow moving in the corner of his eye. The eyes were back, staring, piercing into him. Naru stared right back.

This continued until the eyes vanished and was replaced by a sheet of paper taped to the wall.

Shinigami it said.

'Shinigami', Naru thought, 'Death God? There is no sign that this case and the one we are currently doing is connected.'

Naru's eyes were itching to close. He walked over to his couch and collapsed on top of it. His eyes immediately dropped closed. Soon his breathing and body relaxed, signaling that he was asleep. The eyes appeared a third time, watched Naru on the couch for a couple minutes and vanished.
