HIKARI'S POV

I woke up in a cold room. Moonlight was shining through a little window that was shut tight. I noticed the metal bars a few feet away, I was in a cell. There was a blanket and a flat pillow on the floor. A toilet and a sink was there too, surprisingly clean. I moved my numb arms and the clinging of chains appeared. At least Raven-Brand is safe.

A door opened and slammed. Footsteps walked closer to where I was in a slow pace, making me a little impatient. My visitor finally arrived, it was Cato. There was a tray of food with him, which he slid through a little opening. He put on the playful grin that I hated. I just sat, not wanting to stand up or talk to him.

"There are three ways you can get out of here," he began. "Your friends bring me Raven-Brand. You could tell me where the sword is. Your last option, that you will never take, is become a demon."

"What would happen if I turn inhuman?" I asked.

"Well, you could just get out of here," Cato answered. "Demon strength after all, stupid sister. But then again, even if you turn into a demon, it'll be because of rage, since you would never accept your power. Think about your options, 'kay? Remind me to bring you knew clothes 'cause those stink like hell!"

Cato leaves after that. I had a long time of thinking, which I shouldn't have. I didn't know how much anger I had inside me until I thought about my situation. Why did my father had to give me that sword in the first place? Why couldn't he keep it? Could he be dead? I rejected that thought since for some reason, I felt like he was very much alive. If only my mother was alive, but then again I killed my mother. I killed my mother, it's all my fault. I'm to blame!

THIRD POV

Shura and Yukio was lost. They were both Japanese in Romania, they don't even know english. It was frustrating for Yukio because he wants to brig Hikari back.

Shura got out her phone, it wasn't like the phone he or any of the students in True Cross had. The only reason you would have a phone is if you're rich, and Yukio depended on True Cross to live.

"How do we get to Helena?" she whispered to the phone. It then said something in Romanian. It repeated whatever it said when a local was passing by. Shura put the phone next to the man while he explains.

"Take the train down town," the phone translated. The man points to a cluster of buildings and a railway going through it.

"Before we go, can I get some beer?" Shura asked as they began walking towards the directing the man pointed.

"Just because we're in Europe, doesn't mean you get to drink as much as you want," Yukio answered.

"I kind of wish that they took her to Ireland or Scotland," she retorted. "Then, I get to try what's so great about their beer!"

"We need to get serious here!" he screamed.

"Gosh, I was just trying to lighten up the mood with a joke," Shura muttered. "You like her don't you."

He blushed excessively. Yukio began t stutter, trying to think of words to say. "Wel... She was just... you know..."

"Don't need to talk four eyes," Shura interrupted. "You LIKE LIKE her. Hikari is a nice person. She's actually a lot like her mom."

"How long have you two known each other?" Yukio asked.

"About... 7 years," Shura answered. "Before that, I knew her mom. She was really a talented swords-women, one of the few ones too. She's sunny and was always trying to help. But the woman was to independent."

Shura remembers the woman who Fujimoto left her with until he gets back to train her. She learned a lot from that woman, some lessons that Shura forgot to apply to her life. She remembers her famous words, or at least the last words she said to Shura before she passed away. "Never judge a person, even a demon, until you have known their morals. Each one could have different intentions. Shura, you have to remember this, you'll come across many people who have chosen the path of good even though their being is frowned upon society."

She remembered her words when she met Rin. The acclamied demon's son seemed like a harmless cat, being beaten up senselessly like that.

"Shura, why are you so fond of Hikari?" Yukio questioned.

"I told you, she reminds me of her mom," she retorted. Shura then flashes back to the first time she saw Hikari, who looked nothing like her mother. Her mother was white, half-american. The only thing that she they had in common where their eyes.

Shura taught the girl was weak and frail. The little girl's frailty hid her true strength. She remembered being saved by Hikari, she summoned a black bird. Shura was surprised to see her know how to tame demons. She then talked to Hikari's grandma, who didn't want her to learn any means of exorcism. Shura learned about the immense power sealed deep within the little girl. Power that wa

Shura runs into a light post. She rubs her head and continues to walk on. Yukio laughed. "You will never speak of this scared-y four eyes!"

"You know I'll have to hold that against you 'til I forget," the boy retorted.

They reached the train station. The swords-woman did buy a can of beer. She drank as the locomotive lurched forward. Yukio sighed at the sight of the beer. Shura slurped the alcohol, emphasizing that she's drinking.

Cato walks in to the cells under the church. He could hear the his sister's chains clanging from where he was. His heart beats faster, remembering his father's words.

"If she ever gains full control of her powers -that was sealed away for a reason- she could be one of the most powerful demons in the two worlds. We won't know what happens, and don't ever try to control her abilities."

Why was she gifted with skills that she doesn't deserve? Cato walked on, wanting to see what was happening to Hikari. Was her powers released? Does she still have control over her body? Is the evil she kept at bay for so long finally free and in control? No matter what happens, I will make her a weapon.

Cato sees the back of his sister. Her wings had grown, and a tail swung back and forth. He put on the playful smirk that he knew Hikari hated. She turns, revealing teeth as sharp as his. Her nails grew, not as long as demons, but sharp. Her eyes was what frightened Cato. They were burning amber, no longer that soft blue and green.

Hikari folds her wings and walks over to Cato. She didn't speak, she just growls, like a wild animal.
