Normal POV

"Mako, will you stop that!" Myah hissed under her breath, " It's not doing anyone any good"

"I can't help it!" the spirit cried overdramatically, halting in mid-pace in front of the blonde, " I'm just worried about Hikaru and Rini—"

"You shouldn't be," Madison pointed out flatly, joining the dagger-wielder on the couch, " They'll be fine," She glanced over her shoulder to see her godfather rummaging through the fridge, "Right, Jed?"

"Mmm-hmm" the war veteran nodded, pulling out a cool beer and popped open the lid with the twist of the wrist, " The Doc definitely knows what he's doing." He chuckled lightly. " Patched me more than enough times back in our army days"

The Doc was an old friend of Jedidiya's. The bearded-man immediately called him up when he realized the two shaman teens (Hikaru and Rini) needed extensive care. Apparently, the skillful physician didn't live that far from the city. Plus he owed Jed for saving him on several occasions. Of course, the doctor isn't too keen on repeating those incidents.

"But…." Mako's annoying whine drawled out, " What if—"

His melodramatic tone stopped short when a redheaded man appeared in the doorway. A tired expression was clearly visible in his middle-aged features.

"Well Doc, how are they holding up?" Jedidiya asked, bumping the fridge close with his hip and took a tentative sip from his beer.

"Better than I anticipated" The physician shifted uncomfortably under the curious gazes he was receiving. "The girl—Rini was it? Well anyway, her wounds are severe, but about three days of rest should suffice. Also it would be best if her stress levels were kept extremely low. Any emotional turmoil could make her condition much worse"

"What about Hikaru?" Mako asked desperately, knowing fully well that the redhead couldn't see or hear him.

"As for the boy…"the doctor went on, then slowly pinched the bridge of his nose, " He's in a…coma"

"WHAT!" Mako screeched, readying to wring the physician's neck.

"Oh please relax" The Doc rose his hands in a peaceful gesture as alarmed looks whirled in his direction, " It will only last a week at the most. Er…Hikaru's body needs time to heal mentally and physically"

"Oh…." Mako raised fist dropped to his side. Placing his drink on the counter, Jedidiya inhaled a thoughtful breath.

"Well I appreciate the help" he started gruffly, breaking the awkward silence that had stretched out as he crossed into the living room, " It was truly needed"

"No problem, Jed," the redhead shook his old friend's hand with a sweaty grip then glanced at the watch on his free hand, " But I should be getting home, "

"Got Charlotte waiting?" Jed gave a drunken laugh.

"Unfortunately…" The Doc frowned, dropping his hand to the side, " she hates me being out this late…especially on my day off," The bearded shaman laughed again.

"Well I'll see ya around, man" he said before giving his former war buddy a friendly slap on the back.

"Yeah," the Doc coughed as a shy smile curved on his lips, " Hopefully, next time I won't be invited here on such melancholy circumstances,"

"Hopefully," Mako grumbled, sending the redhead a dirty look as he left.

"Coma?" Myah's content voice mused as she pulled a small handkerchief from her pocket and began wiping her daggers, "How…fitting"

"What the hell did you just say?" Mako's nostrils flared angrily.

The blonde shrugged off the heated words.

"If Hikaru had been more cautious in the first place, neither he nor Rini would have gotten injured," she stated in a matter of fact tone, "Personally, I think this is karma's wrath at its greatest peak,"

"How can you be so heartless!" the spirit hissed, clenching his fist as he regretted explaining what had happen to the shaman pair, "Hikaru's your friend,"

Myah flashed a cool look the former assassin' s way.

"Hikaru…" she emphasized his name with a harsh twirl of her dagger," is not my friend,"

"Why would…"

The spirit's puzzled tone halted when the knife was pointed in his direction.

"There's a difference between befriending and tolerating someone," the blonde stated simply as if she were talking about the weather, " People like Hikaru usually fall into the latter. If he weren't Rini's fiancé, I wouldn't give a damn about him"

Mako went mute with rage, his face flushing ten different shades of fiery crimson. After some time, he finally opened his mouth to speak, ready to ream the dagger-wielder out for all she's worth.

"Wow, Myah, you really are a bitch" Kai's sharp tone cut in before Mako could begin his ranting. The blue-haired shaman had been causally sprawled across the living room carpet while he pieced together the new coffee table.

"Excuse me?"

The Tao girl's question came out as a barely controlled snarl, and her crystal-blue eyes narrowed at Kai's lazed frame in an accusatory motion.

"Well I mean its one thing to say you aren't friends with Hikaru, but now… it's like you're trying to alienate the guy"

"And if I was?"

The sai-wielder shook in his head in disapproval.

"Then you have some serious antisocial issues to work out"

" Says the shaman whose temper flicks on faster than a cigarette lighter "

Myah's scoffed with dark humor.

"Well at least I don't hide away in my room like some Juliet wanna-be,"

"True," the blonde's lips curled into a mischievous smirk, " but I prefer to keep my destructive demons out in the open while you masked yours with a brash and insecure personality," Kai's enraged expression reflected in the girl's daggers as she brought them to eyelevel for close examination. "It's practically the definition of pathetic"

Aggressive intent burned wildly in emerald green irises, but Kai's actions were immediately halted when Jed's firm hand clamped down on his shoulder, holding him back. Then, a second later, Madison was on her feet stepping between the tense teens.

"That's enough," she barked firmly before inhaling a steady breath, " Now what happen to Rini and Hikaru brought in some mixed emotions, but there is no need to waste energy quarreling with one another," The sword-wielder ran a tired hand through her hair. " We need to focus on the fact that Ryu isn't toying with us. He's ready to strike ,and everyone should be prepared"

"Well training didn't get us very far now did it?" Myah pointed out coolly before turning her arm over and revealing the scars she had received from Cherry's wind attacks. The guilt worming its way into Madison's heart made it difficult to continue.

"That's not what I meant… I…. We…."

"C'mon Mad, we can't just wait around for Ryu to attack again," Kai's annoyed tone verified. That's when the black-haired girl lost it.

"You know what Kai?" she silenced him with her darkest glare, " I don't give a fucking damn in hell what anyone does anymore!"

Shocked faces gapped at the girl's retreating back as she stormed over to the door, and didn't even bother to grab her jacket on the way out. When the door slammed shut, Kai opened his mouth to speak, but paused when Myah shot him a smug look.

"Are you gonna call her a bitch too?"

"Actually…I was thinking overly stressed control-freak"

An irritated scoff rang from the blonde's lips before her boots clicked over to the steps.

"Filthy hypocrite," she muttered.

"Filthy whore," Kai growled back, but the reply was lost to the dagger-wielder as she headed upstairs and hoped to sleep away her troubles. So to ease his anger, Kai continued to work diligently on the coffee table while the others sauntered off to their own devices. Well all except for Desiree; she remained hovering over the couch, though her human companion had been gone for almost fifteen minutes now.

"Kai…" she kept her tone sympathetic as she drifted to the boy's side. "Please don't be angry with Madison."

"I'm not," the blue-haired shaman grumbled, though the twitching in his eye said otherwise, "It's human nature to jump to a friend's defense"

"It's not that simple. Madison wasn't defending Myah. She…"

The spirit paused for a moment, chewing her lip quietly as she considered whether to continue. "Myah and Madison aren't really friends"

"Now I know that's bull"

"Well it's not exactly false either," Desiree laughed then inhaled an attentive breath. " Without Rini around those two would probably kill each other,"

Kai's hands went still, and the completely bewildered look he sent the spirit didn't make her explanation any easier or less confusing.

"That…that doesn't make any sense,"

"Actually it does. The underlying tension between the Okinawa and Tao families has been occurring since before I was even alive"

"And I'm guessing it won't die with Madison and Myah…"

"There was a chance. Little by little, Rini's been closing the rift between them, though that ingrained hatred would occasionally resurface in nonchalant disagreements"

Electric blue locks bobbed up and down in understanding before Desiree's face went grim. " But if Rini were to die…no matter circumstances, each girl would blame the other"

"Would it bring bloodshed?"

"Most likely, and if that were to happen I'd…"

The spirit's collected tone trailed off as she hid her troubled expression behind caramel-colored locks, and bleak thoughts spun in her head.

"Desiree…hell's gonna freeze over before I let that happen,"

The spirit peered at the shaman-boy in disbelief.

"You wanna fix this?"

"Might as well, blood spilled by irrational actions is one of the worse the kind,"

The self-assured essence radiating off Kai's small build gave the anxiety sparking off the brunette's heart a bit of comfort. Still, she had to remain logical.

"Well you're a damn fool for trying…"

Hiro's POV

" I don't think this is a very good idea, Rie," I murmured to my sister in a slightly nervous tone. The grip she had on my wrist tightened in annoyance, and her eyes rolled simultaneously.

" Quit being such a wimp, Hiro!" Rie snapped as she dragged me down the mansion's hallway," If we don't talk to Ryu now, we'll probably miss a kickass opportunity!"

"B-but… but…"

My overdramatic protest were lost to my sister as her foot slammed into the shaman leader's door, causing it fling open with a momentum that bounced across the walls.

"I'm guessing manners didn't apply when you worked with Koenma?" Ryu's voice drawled out casually as Rie bounded into the room, yanking me along with her. It took a moment for the flat statement to hit my sister, but when it did, she immediately halted. Her sapphire-blue orbs darken in a cool, suddenly loathing glare. Being former employees under that pacifier-sucking oddball was our secret and the only tie to our real past.

"How do you know about that?" Rie asked

The sadist leader shrugged laxly in his chair.

"We're not old friends, but I do have many sources."
The disapproving growl that rang from the girl's throat was quickly silenced when Ryu shot us both a sharp look.

"Next time, you'll knock," he demanded.

"Yes sir…." I sniveled while my sister only scowled.

Ryu would have gone back to the book lying on his lap, but Rie had to speak up. God! Did she have some unknown death wish to get sliced to lunar demon bits?

My ocean-blue gaze traveled warily to lock on the shaman's Kwan Do. It was leaning up against the chess table, and glimmering in such a way that you knew it was screaming to be drenched crimson.

'Oh hell….'

Normal POV

"Ryu…"

Another unpleasant look

"Master Ryu," Rie corrected herself forcefully, then tried to regain her crisp tone, "we've been under your leadership for awhile now…."

"And?" Ryu picked up his book.

"And…" the demon's confident demeanor was beginning to shrink as the shaman started flipping pages. He was losing interest in, and Rie knew it.

"Well?"

"Well...FUCK YOU," the black-haired girl suddenly roared. " And FUCK THIS!"

She threw up her hands, finally losing all patient (not that she had much) with the sadistic man. " For the past month or so, Hiro and I have been wandering around this damn mansion like fucking imbeciles! We want something to do!"

"I'm perfectly fine with just watching TV" Hiro piped in, but was easily ignored.

"Ryu!" Rie huffed hotly, " Give us a real challenge, or you'll get a taste of a demon's true nature the aggressive side !"

"Um that's only qualifies for her," Hiro muttered. " I plan to watch an HBO special later…"

"Is that a threat, Rie?" Ryu eyes flashed away from his book to give the girl an even stare. Without waiting for a reply, he was on his feet:, Kwan Do in hand, and aimed at the demon girl's neck, "Is it?"

"Yes, Misuya," Rie remained firm, allowing a quick kiss of steel to puncture her skin, " It is," Her glare narrowed in a fierce motion. " And you know I'll follow through,"
" Of course you will," the cruel leader smiled thinly before lowering his weapon, " But no need, I think I've thought of a job that would express your unique talents quite well,"
Rie grinned in anticipation while Hiro watched fresh scarlet drip from her neck, and their leader's weapon in an unsettling motion.

'Shit, I'm gonna miss my shows, '

The morning breeze blew crisply as Madison walked, chilling goose bumps across her skin.

"Damn this weather," she grumbled rubbing her arms, " It's the last thing I need"

The shaman girl had enough on her mind especially with the latest Ryu's incident. He was moving too fast; Madison couldn't keep up. Unconsciously, her left hand slid across her abdomen, tracing the elongated scar the shaman menace had given her not too long ago.

'If I don't think of something soon…' the sword-wielding teen sucked in a shivering breath as friends flashed in her memory, ' I could loose them all…'

A drop of temperature later, Madison felt a presence materialized behind her.
" Have fun defending me, Des?" she snickered bitterly. The brunette sighed.

"I wasn't defending you, Madison. I was just trying to clarify the matter to Kai"

"Oh like he really gives a damn," the mahogany-eyed girl scoffed before letting out a small sneeze.

"Actually I do" a new voice piped, making Okinawa girl halt in mid-step and sneeze again, " So are you trying to get ammonia?"

Madison shrugged.

" Dunno, are you trying to be an asshole?"

"No!" the other shaman gave a grunt of disapproval before taking a sharp hold of the girl's arm and whirled her around to face him, " But I wouldn't have to act like one if you'd just quit being a stressed out maniac!"

Darkly-colored orbs blinked lightly, unfazed by the harsh action as Madison took a long sip from the coffee in her right hand,

"If this is your way of apologizing, you're doing a piss-poor job," she finally pointed out, after pulling the drink from her lips.

" I don't need to apologize!" Kai snapped, smacking the cup out of the older teen's hand, which was something even Rini wouldn't dare to do. The hot beverage clattered to the concrete. Madison just stared downward, watching as the sweet liquid spilled across the sidewalk.

'What a waste….'

She now expected the Yuki teen to do something even bolder like sling the girl over his shoulder or try for a hug. If he attempted either, he'd have an early funeral. To Desiree and Shinro's relief, Kai just continued his tirade.

"You need to own up to all this shit, Mad!" he scolded," Its bad enough Hikaru's in a coma and Rini's severely injured, but now Jed is drinking down his worries while Myah's just secluded herself from the whole crisis. Everyone's just scattered about like puzzle pieces, and we need someone to put them back together,"

"I know!" Madison groaned, pushing the boy away, and clutched her hair " But I didn't sign up to dwell over other people's issues,"

She slunk down onto the freezing cold pavement, and the anger in her voice cooled to more downhearted tone " I just wanna be a regular shaman…carefree, happy…. I need space…time to plan…no distractions…."

'So I'm a distraction?'

A wave of sympathy washed over Kai as he watched the frazzled girl. So with a forced, whimsical smile he reached down, taking a gentle hold her wrist.

"I'll make a deal with you, Okinawa" he said while dragging her onto her feet with much effort.

"Eh…" Madison cocked her head to the side as the warm feel of the blue-haired boy fingers slipped away.

"I'll go visit my sister for a bit," Kai was saying while taking off his jacket, " Might as well take Jed with me since he does enjoy the scenery"

"Oh?" the curly-haired shaman felt a light green fabric glide onto her arms and Kai's breath against her neck.

"Then you'll only have a bipolar -freak and two bed-burden patients to worry about" he concluded while curling an arm around the teen's waist, then leveling her arm across his shoulders to help her disoriented steps ease into a steady walk,

" Whaddya say, Mad?"

"Works for me you smurf reject," Madison slurred with a yawn as the day's events finally allowed exhaustion to succumb to the girl, "Start packing and tell Sam I said hi…"

Tatsuo Yasuhiro pressed his lips together tightly as he tried to figure how to finish the song he had scribbled in a spiral notebook.

"Round my hometown…" he hummed the melody inside his head while the pencil waited patiently in hand for inspiration.

"Suo-chan!" the chirper tone made the shaman glanced up to meet a brunette's beaming face, " Almost done?"

"Yeah," he returned the smile before jotting down the last sentence, " just finished"

"Great, can't wait to read it!"

" Miss Yuki!" the director's called out sternly, " I need you back on set,"

"Be right there" Sam replied, and then shot the boy a quick wave, "Thanks, Tatsuo"

Gleaming green eyes lingered on the girl's retreating frame longer than necessary as she bounced away.

" I can't have your salvia smearing on our next hit" a familiar voice cleared their throat from behind and snapped Tatsuo out of his infatuated daze. He feverishly began wiping his mouth with both hands before checking to see if the paper had any wet spots. It didn't and neither did his hands.

" I wasn't drooling!" He shot the accuser a ticked look.

"Not physically," came the causal correction followed by a childish giggle, " I really wished you'd make your move on her already,"

"It's not that simple, Yohan" Tatsuo grumbled while his cousin moved to occupy the empty chair beside him.

"Oh psssh" the younger shaman scoffed, knocking the notebook in the air so she could rest her legs across Suo's lap, " We both know that's bull, but if you're so hung up on getting tongue-tied then just kiss the girl,"

Tatsuo gave a cherry tomato a run for its money when he immediately blushed a blinding scarlet.

" I-I can't do that"

Yohan caught the notebook in hand her left hand, then raised a thoughtful eyebrow.

"Why not?" she shrugged," If she doesn't respond the way you want her to then just apologize and excuse it as manly urges"

"Manly urges?"

"Ya know raging hormones, intense needs? Call it whatever you want, but the point is Sam would understand. Frankly Suo, I'm surprised you lasted this long without having to jack off."

"Lord…" the tan teen plugged his ears." This is last thing I wanna discuss with you,"

"Well suck it up because you need to hear it," the younger shaman grumbled. Unconsciously her hand slipped down to grasp the yin-yang symbol hooked on her necklace. The charm gleamed as she rubbed it between her thumb and index finger, a childhood habit the girl had yet to grow out of. "But if you wanna put your pining to good use watch our little starlet's final taking,"

With a reluctant grunt, Tatsuo's stare slid upward, immediately locking on his crush as she maneuvered to her place on set. Sam's outward appearance had drastically changed to suit her music video theme. Instead of typical black, the young girl was decked out in a perky, white sundress that halted at the knee while her hair had been morphed into a cascading wave of chocolate-brown curls. To the mace-wielding shaman, Sam had gained an innocent look that could rival even the purest of angels. A content sigh flew from his lips as the director shouted "ACTION".

Smooth, good-natured instrumental began streaming from the park's speakers, synchronizing with the crisp, Chicago wind. Effortlessly, the lyrics started flowing from Sam's lips as she moved across her stage, a decent-sized playground that reflected the song's vibe.

"No matter what has ever come to me," she mused while hopping up and swinging across the monkey bars," I've got my own brand of company"

By the time she reached the chorus, the scythe wielder was giggling and hanging off the merry-go-round while it spun swiftly. " And I find that I'm never alone, and I find that heart is my home, and the music within makes me whole, a world that I built on my own. And I know that I'm never alone, and I know that my heart is my home. Every missing piece of me I can find in the melody…"

A proud thrill ran through Yohan's body as she tore her gaze away from the song sheet to see the brunette belt out the last verse.

"When the walls begin to creep in and the sky is falling down. When I'm swallowing up in feeling…" she rushed down the slide then started rolling in the grass. "I get lost inside the sound! And I find that I'm never alone, and I find that heart is my home, and the music within makes me whole, a world that I built on my own. And I know that I'm never alone, and I know that my heart is my home. Every missing piece of me I can find in the melody… And I find that I'm never alone, and I find that heart is my home, and the music within makes me whole, a world that I built on my own. And I know that I'm never alone, and I know that my heart is my home. Every missing piece of me I can find in the melody…I can find in the melody…"

Sam's POV

When the director roared cut, I instantly leaped up.

"Whew!" I exclaimed, stretching out my sore limps, " That was fun"

"Very!" Fate agreed with a smile as she appeared at my side. While the staff began breaking down the set, I bounced over to Yohan and Tatsuo.

"So what did ya'll think?"

"Great as always, dove" Yohan answered before tossing a notebook to her cousin and reaching up to pick nature's debris out of my hair, " But we gotta get to the studio to record your newest hit,"

" Creative genius has struck again?" I eyed Tatsuo lightheartedly. He blushed then gave a sheepish nod. My grin grew in amusement. Though I don't admit it much, my rising music career would be nonexistent without him. Not only was he an amazing lyricist, and gifted with the grace to play any instrument, but Suo-chan is a great friend. He boosts my confidence when it's deep down in my core and is always there to help. Now, you're probably wondering why I can't write my own songs. Well I can and do, but it takes way longer and never comes out exactly the way I want it unless overbearing stress is involved. Tatsuo says that one day I'll eventually get the hang of that in depth lyrics factor without going on crazed rampage. One day isn't going to be soon. Besides, I'm too psyched for Kai's visit to even worry about that junk. His flight was suppose to be landing tonight, which is why I just I wanted to skip the studio and zoom to the airport. There were a zillion questions I plan to bombard him with. The first being if he had gotten Madison to be his girlfriend yet. If not…well I'd beat him senseless with my favorite Rick James album.

Five minutes later, Yohan shoved Tatsuo and me in the back of my limo before hopping in herself. Then the door slammed shut and the car sped down the neon-lit highway. One swift turn later, Suo flung to the other side of the vehicle, accidentally smacking his forehead against the window.

"Ugh…"

" Careful, Suo-chan…"

Snickering, I grabbed my seatbelt and snapped it in place so I wouldn't face the same misfortunate. The older shaman grumbled something incoherent while Yohan just rolled her eyes.

"Ya'll need to focus"

"We are focused," I spoke the last word in an obnoxious falsetto before trying to smooth the wrinkles out of my dress. It was futile act since this garment needed serious dry-cleaning after the movements I just put it through. If Yohan weren't in such a time crunch I would have changed back into some more casual. But no, I was stuck in this until we made it to the airport. Kai will so laugh his ass off when he sees me.

"Oh sure you are," Yohan nodded at her disoriented cousin, who realized he was being insulted a few seconds later and stuck out his tongue. "Fair enough…. now if you two get this single down before we're at the studio it'll make recording go much faster"

"Works for me," Tatsuo shook out his confusion, and reached under the seat to retrieve his mini-electronic keyboard. Once he had it on his lap, the black-haired shaman clicked on his seatbelt and began configuring the instrument's settings. Yohan passed me the lyrics before flicking on her Blackberry and jabbing buttons that did Lord-knows-what.

Normal POV

By the time the scythe wielder had scanned over the sheet music twice, (memorizing it on the first look through) Tatsuo was ready. He started dancing his hands across the keys in a skilled yet relaxed motion. Sam counted backwards from thirty before pouring out the soft-spoken lines.

" I've been walking in the same way as I…did. Missing how the cracks in the pavement enter in my heels, strutting in my feet. Is there anything I can do for you, dear? Is there anyone I could call? No one, thank-you, please madam. I'm not lost just wondering…."

As usual, Fate was hovering behind Tatsuo to help Sam get the pitches correct. She pointed upward so the girl would raise her voice. " Round my hometown, memories… are fresh. Round my hometown, Ooo the people I've met are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world. Are the wonders of these world, are the wonders now. The melody's volume increased, and the brunette followed along with ease. "I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque. I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades…I like it in the city when two worlds… collide. You get the people and the government. Everybody taking different sides" Tatsuo smiled as the singer lowered her tone, preparing what she assumed was his favorite verse. Sam definitely loved it, " Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit. Shows that we are united. Shows that we ain't gonna take it. Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit. Shows that we are united…." Round my hometown, memories… are fresh… Round my hometown, Ooo the people I've met…" When Sam began her quirky scat solo, she held back feverish chuckling. Fate kept making goofy after each of her shaman companion's Do…. Or da-da-da. Luckily the two made it to the last section without busting into hysteric laughter, but gave Tatsuo gave a small snort. "These are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world. Are the wonders of these world, are the wonders…of my world…of my world…yeah…of world… of world…yeah…"

Yohan's POV

The music abruptly stopped when Sam breathed out that last keynote. She had this goofy, awed grin on her face that made my cousin's fingers trembled. Too bad I'm the only one who noticed.
" Wow, Tatsuo," Sam went on, tucking hair behind her ears before leaning back in the seat, " I honestly think that's the best song you've written for me…. EVER"

"Oh…." Tatsuo reached down and grabbed a water bottle from the console, "Thank you…"

"Modest wuss" I muttered as he jugged down his drink and pretended not to hear my comment. I finished checking my email, then clicked my tongue, "Ok we're going to be there in about five minutes. So…."

I didn't get to finish my statement because three things happened. First, the car crashed to a halt, then the driver gave an ear-shattering scream, and Tatsuo spewed water on me from the sudden impact.

"What the hell!" he gasped. I wiped the liquid from my face with aggrieved hands. Payback really is a bitch!

"Stay…" I growled at the two fellow shamans before snapping out of my seatbelt and climbing toward the front. When I saw there made me hold my breath so I wouldn't scream. Through the smashed windshield I could see a girl crouching on the front of the car. Her left hand was encased around the driver's throat, sharp nails penetrating the veins in his neck. When the girl's night-blue stare locked on mine, I froze. As a shaman, I was use to being attacked, but this was different. This chick wasn't right; she wasn't human or shaman. The anonymity terrified me.

"Hey there, hon." her voice sounded amused, " Can Sammie come out to play?"

At the mention of the brunette's name, my body worked on its own, reaching for my sword, which was hidden under the seat.

"No way, you psychotic bitch!" I swung my weapon, but the wacko moved just enough for me cut off the driver's head instead of her hand. I gagged as his blood gushed around the interior, droplets hitting my face. , Swallowing my own vomit, I scrambled to the backseat. Sam and Tatsuo gapped at my horror-stricken face.

"Y-Yohan what happened?" Sam stammered, worry in her eyes. Ignoring the question, I jabbed the hilt of sword into the nearest window till it smashed.

"Out…Now!" I ordered. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, my friends did as they were told, grabbing a few necessities along the way. I stayed behind a moment to sheath my sword, and then I hiked up my dress before rushing out the window. I started running before my feet eat the ground and Sam quickly followed suit with Suo-chan right on her heels.

Normal POV

The trio barely made it five blocks before the limo exploded, casting a voluminous, fiery blaze. People dove for safety but some streetwalkers and pedestrians became casualties, their screams echoing in the shaman's ears.

"What the hell was that about?" Tatsuo snapped, glaring at his cousin as he struggle onto his feet. She gave Suo a snarky look, not appreciating his sudden temper.

"How the hell should I know?" Yohan grumbled, trying to rub the blood off , leaving raw, red cheeks, "Fact is that malicious bitch wanted Sam"

"What!" the singer gasped, taking a step back and pressing her back against Tatsuo's chest. He put a protective hand on her shoulder.

"That isn't going to happen…"

"Au contraire, beau" a voice purred mischievously that caused Yohan's heart to drop. The three turned to see their attacker. She sat crossed legged on a nearby step, coiling and uncoiling the whip wound around both wrist. Her midnight blue eyes shimmered with seduction, zoning onto Tatsuo. "My, my, you're quite the looker, babe. Wouldn't mind dragging you into my bed,"

"Shut it, freak," Suo snapped, pulling his crush closer. Rie's eyes flashed with anger but she instantly laughed it off.

"That's no way to talk to a lady," the demon grinned devilishly, "especially when this one can slice off your balls and shove them down your throat till you choke," Sam was about to retaliate when the demon snapped her weapon forward. Tatsuo yanked the singer back while Yohan unsheathed her sword, placing her spirit Rouge inside. The Oui Sword glowed an angelic blue before slashing at the whip, causing it loose most of its length. The whip remnant wiggled on the ground like a snake before Rie snapped her fingers. A puff of black replaced the broken tool. Yohan wheezed helplessly as the smog encased her framed. When the smoke cleared, the sword-wielder laid face down on the ground. Tatsuo rushed to her side, lifting his cousin carefully and placing her right side up.

"Suo-Chan" Yohan coughed opening her eyes and her cousin held back the urge to puke. The Oui girl's irises were completely gone, whiteness clouding her orbs. " Why is it so dark,".

The black haired boy took a deep breath before replying.

"Cuz its night, silly" He kissed her forehead, " Now rest, you've done enough," Yohan yawned before drifting to sleep. Tatsuo skidded over to Sam, depositing his cousin her arms.

"Put sunglasses on her," he ordered. The Yuki girl did as she was told, holding back tears. Meanwhile, an onyx colored hue had clouded over Tatsuo's eyes; he was LIVID!

"Finally!" Rie threw her head back in laughter, " That's the animal I've been dying to see! I could sense it in you!"

"Shut up, you damn bitch," Suo snapped, pulling out a pair of maces, " I'm gonna beat you down so bad that Jack the Ripper wouldn't even fuck you!"

Sam gasped, not use to her friend using such vulgar language; she'd NEVER seen him THIS mad before. Rie's cackling abruptly ceased,

" I'm getting sick of your insults"

In a flash, the demon was behind Tatsuo. Her nails pieced the veins in his neck as she lifted him off the ground. Strangled cries drew from the shaman's throat as he struggled. Rie grinned maliciously at her opponent's suffering.

"Oh hon.…" she cooed, tightening her grip, " Its just a scratch, allow me to ease your pain"

Tatsuo cringed as the demon mouth pressed against his neck, biting down and sucking gently on the skin. The mace wielder felt a sick twist of disgust as part of him enjoyed getting his first hickey – though he had received it from Sam. "I've had better," Rie sighed dropping the boy to the ground and strutted toward. The young singer froze on the spot, mouth going dry. The black haired girl twirl in her whip in front of her like toy lasso. "Ya see that building over there, Sammie-girl?" the demon gestured behind her and the brunette nodded, "There's a least fifty people. Either you come with me or they'll all be need in less than thirty seconds."

"NO!" Sam gasped. She stared at the demon then eyed the destruction their battle had already caused. "Ok…f-fine. I'll go with you,"

Rie smirked, and then slapped Sam across the face, drawing blood across the cheek. The girl collapsed on the spot. Tatsuo's furious rant was cut of by Rie manifesting on his back, pressing her twenty-inch boot into his back, breaking at least three ribs. He cried in agony as moonlight engulfed Rie and Sam, making them vanish. A moment later, Yohan gave a cold shudder, waking up instantly and her sight returning. Ignoring the pain, she crawled over to her cousin.

"Suo-chan?" came out the barely control sob. The boy slowly opened his eyes.

"We're seriously FUCKED!"

"How can you not know you suffer from plane sickness," Kai inquired as he and Jedidiya left the baggage area with their luggage. The war veteran shrugged.

"Kid, I'm used to jumping out of airplanes not sitting in them for three hours,"

"Well I don't think the lady whose bag you puked in gave a damn". Jed made a face.

"She didn't have to slap me! I gave her fifty bucks to get it clean"

"Well I doubt that could cover the fee for a designer purse ,"

"Just shut-up," the bearded man punched Kai in the shoulder, who gave a playful laugh in return. That's when the two spotted Fate looming by a kiosk. Kai's heart dropped because something was very obvious; his sister wasn't with the blonde.

Jedidiya's POV

Nie mogę uwierzyć, że do tego dopuścić.! Ta suka demon, który wziął Sam będzie modlił się za Lucyfer, aby zapisać ją z litości nie istnieje ! Kai blurted so loudly that it echoed off the walls of the hotel room they had checked into thrity mintues ago.

"What did he just say?" Yohan whispered from the arm resting she was perched on . I was slouched in the chair.

" I dunno, I don't speak Polish,"

The brunette rolled her eyes at me. She and cousin Tatsuo had just expalined to us what had happen. Erupting, Hawaiian volcanoes have NOTHING on Kai's temper. He went beserk, ready to massacre everyone in thelobby just to let out furstration. I was tempted to knock him out, but I thought his rants were cooling him down enough. Kai raked his fingers through hair for the fifth time, spat a few Russian curses and then spoke english. Hallejah!

" I'm sorry...for my taturim"

" Oh its not your fault you have the brain of a toddler, " I grinned, pulling out and offering him my flask. He took in one swip and down it all in one swig, "Damn, well you drink like a verteran!"

" Don't worry Kai," Tatsuo placed an ice pack on his shoulder, " We'll get Sam back alive. I promise."

"How?" Yohan scoffed, being realstic and an avid channel sufer as her fingers clicked away, "its not like an invatation for Sammie's rescue is gonna knock on the door!"

Oh the irony...

A crash sounded ,and all eyes fell onto the shattered window by the bed. A lone card laid on the fresh, silk sheets.

"Turn it over..." a voice whisepred, " and tap it twice"

I was the first to follow the hushed tone and what I saw i pracitcally gave me an ulcer. The girl outside the window looked...Like...just like... Rhiannon.

" Rhiannon" I whispered. The blonde-haired girl gave me a puzzled expression at the sound of the name. Her mouth opened slowly as if she was about to ask a question, but just as rapidly she shut her lips and disappeared behind a blinding light. I stood up for a moment, feeling numb and realized that couldn't have been my goddess Rhia, But…that girl had her face. DAMMIT!

Flashback: 20 years ago

Sweat soaked Jedidiya's brow as he lay across a cot, blood pooling from his stomach. The young nurse added more pressure to the wound by her bringing a cloth down hard on it. Jed winced.

"So ya decided to take a grenade for your comrades, eh Hobo?" she grinned, and then increased pressure, " Were you trying to win the Medal of Honor?"

"Nah…" The solider groaned, stirring slightly, " I just wanted to make sure everyone else got the HELL out of there!"

"Ah a man of true of gallantry, that you are," the nurse mused, tossing the blood-soaked cloth in the trash bin.

"That's how my Ma taught me to be, ma'am" Jed noted before letting out a low cough followed by a loud groan of a pain. The nurse frowned at this. She fingered his worn uniform.

" Do you mind?" The exhausted soldier shook his no, and a second later his shirt was slashed open with a scalpel, revealing a crimson coated mosaic. " Hm… you're your appendix and aorta have ruptured. You'll bleed out in less than an hour,"

"Fuck," the dark haired man hissed through the burning as she poured some liquid across the wound. The solider then blushed, knowing he shouldn't swear in front of a lady. In a quieter tone, the patient remarked, " I didn't know that could happen,"

"Neither did I" the woman sighed before pulling back the curtain so no one else could see what she was about to do. " Also don't call me Ma'am. My name is Rhiannon."

"Ugh," Jedidiya grumbled as stinging sensation wound its way up his abdomen, making him dizzy, " Rhia, what's gonna happen to me?"

The blonde thought for a moment before swinging one leg over her patient and crawling on top of him.

"Today is not a good day to die," she quoted.

" What are you doing?" Jedidiya's lips quivered from blood lost and embarrassment; he had never been this close to a girl. The slender blonde grinned, showing off her bright blue eyes.

" Saving your chivalrous ass!"

Normal POV

" Jed, we're you even listening" Yohan snapped. The war veteran blinked.
"Pardon?"

The young girl sighed, then explained how the card had a message, saying that Kai had to fight their demon attacker in order to save Sam.

" We're all going," Tatsuo started, tightening the bandages around his body, " We have to stop those monsters. Who knows how people they have already fallen victim to their tribulations?"

" I'm ready for anything," Jed confirmed, 'Even the girl in the window!"

Sam's POV
My heart was pounding in my chest as an intimidating figure loomed over me. He carried a syringe in his left hand as his gruff voice seethed out threats that could fully well occurred. A high-pitched scream was heard as the needle made contact with the jugular. That's when I busted out laughing.

" Ok, ok" I heaved, lessening the cackles, " So let me get this straight. No one knows he is a killer?"

Hiro nodded before popping a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"Except his father and brother, but they're both dead" the demon chewed.

"Did he kill them?"

"Just his brother. His dad died of natural causes"

"Awwww" I took a bite of the snickers in my hand, " I wanna see that one"

"That episode was like two seasons ago," Hiro snorted, his ears twitching in amusement right before a crimson irises winked at me, " Luckily I have them on DVD"

I squealed, throwing my arms around his neck then positioning them in a manner I had seen on the show. "We watch now or I cut off the circulation to your brain,"

The black haired teen would have responded if he hadn't laughing so hard. Then the door flung open to reveal his sister.

"What the hell are you two doing?" she snapped

"Watching Dexter," Hiro wheezed as I let go then skidded myself behind him for protection. I had seen what his sibling could do, and it frightened the shit out of me.

"Good lord, Hiro" she drawled, " If it wasn't for your obsession with this gory show and those damn ears, I wouldn't believe you had an ounce of demon blood in you,"

"Er…thanks"

" You're not welcome, worse bodyguard ever," Rie sneered, turning to leave but as an afterthought grabbed our popcorn and sauntered out.

" Bitch, " my new friend grumbled, rummaging under the bed for more snacks and produced a bag of chips.

" Literally," I added to make him feel better. He gave me a ghost of a smile then pulling out a DVD case and retrieving a disc from inside. Once it was loading, Hiro noticed shaking from my second yet brief encounter with his sister. He snuggled so close I could feel the warmth of his skin as his surprisingly toned arms wrapped around me.

"Comfy?"

"Fortunately:" I answered, resting my head on his shoulder and watched as the Dexter theme song began to play.

Normal POV

Kai took in the condemned hotel with a sharp eye.

"Are you sure this is it, Shiro?" The deceased wolf flared his nostrils, sniffing the air.

"Yeah, she's definitely in there. Even without Fate at her side, I can still sense Sam's spiritual energy"

" We're coming, ducky" Fae swooned, though fearing the worst for her companion.

"Hell yeah we are," Kai gritted his teeth together and would've barged through the door if Jedidiya hadn't caught him by the scruff of his neck. "WILL YOU L QUIT DOING THAT, YOU OLD-TIMEY BASTARD!" He struggled against the intense grip.

"Keep it chilled, kid" the veteran advised, then shook him viloetenlty for a moment. " And watch your damn mouth before I rip if on your scrawny, hotheaded face. Now we can't just rush in there. A situation like this calls for a strategy, which is something I am fairly good at planning out"

"When you're sober." Tatsuo grumbled and his cousin jabbed him the ribs.

"Ahem" Jed coughed loudly, gathering everyone's attention, " We've already met two of our opponents, but I have a feeling more afoot. Therefore, division is in order. Kai, you go after Sam's captor, blowing off all that pent up anger. Tatsuo, take Fate and find Sam then get the hell out here. Han, you're with me. We're playing the tactic of diversion."

"Sounds fun" the brunette rubbed her hands together in anticipation. The bearded man detailed the plan once more before everyone got into position. He then gave a low, keen whistle and the barrage was on.

Rie was stretched out on a lavish, Queen-sized bed, marveling over the fact that they had stumbled across a fully furnished building with cable!

"Life is good…" she mused, popping another rum-filled bon-bon in her mouth. However, the demon almost choked when a sudden impact hit the ground floor and sent vibrations all the way to the 25th floor.

"RAVE!" she half shrieked/ half gulped. The feisty blond was there in an instant,

" What was with that fucking quake? You're so be playing Watch Dog,"

"I am" the sorcerer's cheeks dimpled, " Sammie's saviors have arrived,"

Rie's lips curled back in a seething sneer.

"Just lovely… you know what to do"

" Uh huh" Rave gave a salute and was gone.

She manifested herself on the ground floor. A heavy weight fell upon the girl's chest as caught sight of a burly man shimming in through the gaping hole he had made in the once-abandoned structure. Rave quickly pushed these feelings aside, readying her wand.

A few minutes later
Yohan gave a gasp as Jedidiya yanked her up by the waist and leaped to the side, just in time to dodge another explosion. Rave have been setting them off with the tap of her wand. However, all these combustions were becoming boring.

'One more,' she decided with a smirk, ' With a really big …BOOM!'

While the sorcerer was pondering, her opponents rolled against the concrete and ducked behind a nearby column. Jedidiya caught the determined glint in the girl's eyes, which made his chest tightened.

"Listen, Han" his plan slurred through the teen's ears. She gave him an incredulous look.

"Jed, are you crazy?" her hushed voice snapped, " That could get us both killed!"

" I won't let that happen," the former solider vowed and gave a predatory grin, " This is trench warfare, and I know how to work a foxhole. So when this is all said and done, Han, you haul ass to Kai; he's gonna need your help even though he might not want it. Understood?"

"Yes, sir," Yohan choked back a sob, but allowed tears to spill across her cheeks. Jedidiya quickly wiped them away.

" One shot, kiddo," he kissed her forehead, " Don't fuck it up"

Yohan gave weak laugh as she retrieved her gun. The two shamans were taken by the massive detonation inches away from them, but this only heightened the brunette's courage. Loaded with furyokoo, her unity bullet whizzed straight into the blast, mixing earth, wind, fire, and fire together as it made contact. It was as if the Big Bang had just give birth to the sun. The flare-up could be seen across California, capturing spectators in true awe. Though Yohan wasn't one to stay and admire; her feet bolted her away before the dirt could fly in her face. However, the sword-wielder regretted leaving Jed with that magic wielding freak.

Rave's POV

I gave loud overdramatic groans as I crawled out from under the mass of rumble. Assessing the damage with a quick turnabout, I began to giggle. I had totaled the whole the ground floor. It was completely gone. Who's a fucking badass? RAVE IS! SUCK ON THAT BITCHES! I decided that I deserved a little rewarded so I reached for my wand to pop up some ice cream but it wasn't there.

"Looking for this?" a sly voice cooed. I followed that annoying tone to see the old guy a few feet away, holding my wand.

" Shit"

The thief tsked in disapproval.

" A sweet thing like you shouldn't use such langue," he remarked before snapping my weapon in two. I screamed—my precious…. my precious. HE BROKE MY PRECIOUS! Hissing like a rabid dog, I rushed for the man, but his next words had me frozen in mid sprint.

" Now, I can spend some quality with the offspring of my sweet Rhiannon. I actually can't believe I have a daughter,"

Twenty minutes earlier

Hiro's ears switched in aggravation, noting that he really hated earthquakes. They ruined a perfectly good Dexter marathon.

"What was that?" Sam huffed, her body tangled underneath.

" I think your rescue time has arrived," the dark-haired teen grumbled rolling off the starlet.

"Oh that's great, I can't wait for them to meet—Hiro what the hell?"

Sam was caught off guard as the demon threw her on the bed and held her hands over her head.

"I'm keeping you safe. That's my job, remember?"

" Yeah" the Yuki girl spit in his face, " but I didn't think be a man-hauling ass,"

Hiro grimaced.

" Ducky, you know I don't wanna do this,"

"Then don't, Kuro-chan," Sam begged, " I'll be a good little damsel and wait for my prince charming—' Kai, Suo, you better hurry the hell up'

The brunette arched her back, trying to break free of the demon's grasp. He pressed down harder with a grunt just as Rave walked in on them.

" Oh, Hiro!" she gapped, " You're such a naughty boy,"

Sam couldn't help but giggle, as Hiro face turned a shade of crimson darker than his own irises. With him on top of her along with the noises they were making, the spectacle seemed promiscuous.

"R-Rave…just give me one of your binding cards," Hiro sputtered. Grinning, the blonde handed the tool. With a flick of the wrist, the card activated, spearing red light across Sam's whole body. A second later, tight chains encased her hands and feet.

"There…" Hiro let out a deep breath.

"Here you might need this," Rave snorted, enclosing something in Hiro's palm. He took a look and gagged at the sight of anal beads and a condom.

"Rave, you prev!" the demon shrieked, chasing the girl out the room after he tossed the tools to the floor, " I'm gonna maul you!"

" But Hiro!" Rave yelped, " Rie said that you needed to behave until we captured Kai and sent them to Master Ryu. Then you could play NAUGHTY MOON BOY,"

" Don't call me that, you little whelp!"

Sam's eyes widened at the mention of the teenager sadist; Kai had told her about him, about what he had done. They really were fucked.

Now the young starlet lay, singing Ordinary Boy, thinking about all the men in he life. The last one that came to mind was…

" I knew I recognized that beautiful voice"

Dark brown eyes brightened faster than a Hanukah candle.

"Suo-chan, you're here!"

"Course I am," the mace wielder stepped inside, but his brain noticed too many things at once. First off, there was a condom, anal beads, and unmarked DVDs on the floor along with the fact that Sam was chained to the bed. Another kicker was that the she was no longer in that frilly dress. Knit shorts and a tank top now covered her slender silhouette. Tatsuo eyes darkened in seething rage.

"Ducky, did someone violate you?" his hands clenched around the handler of his mace, ready to clobber the last person who was in this room.

"Oh heavens, no" Sam flushed, " I would never let that happen. Plus ya know I would have put up a fight,"

"True," the songwriter instantly relaxed, " Now let's get ya free,"

Sam's brows burrowed together.

"Good luck, these damn chains are charmed"

" Not a problem, Ducky" Fate chimed, zooming into the chains, " I'm just so glad your safe,"

"Me too" Suo agreed he shuffled to the girl's side. She him an grateful smile, but whimpers and groans of pain quickly overshadowed the gesture. The battle of spiritual power versus magic charms waged in the metal, tightening its grasp and leaving abrasions on her.

"…Jesus Christ… it hurts"

Tatsuo frowned; he hated seeing his crush in pain so he tried to distract her. They began practicing songs, but the melody easily shifted to shrieks.

"Work faster, Fa" he growled, stroking Sam's hair. Suddenly she let out loud gasp followed by her spirit going

" I broke the first seal". There were nine seals so Tatsuo had to listened through every agonizing yelp, each one worse than the last. On the final lock, he couldn't take it anymore. The songwriter quickly muffled Sam's scream…. using his mouth. Both shamans were taken back by the sudden intimacy., Tatsuo had never kissed a girl , and Sam had never been kissed. Though when Suo pulled back, he realized he had just released all those bottled up affectionate for his crush. He felt great, better yet he felt relieved.

"What were you saying, Ducky?"

" I don't remember." The brunette sighed as the chains dissolved. She threw her arms around Tatsuo in a much-needed embrace. Her sobs buried them deep against his neck/

"Kai's fighting that demon- bitch, Rie, isn't he?"

The mace- wielder nodded
" He wants me to get you to safety,"

" I don't want my brother to die!" the girl wept.

" He won't die," Tatsuo verified, " And we're not leaving without him, Yohan, and Jed"

Short yet deep slashes coated Kai's frame. They were bleeding so profusely that the shaman fell to one knee.

" C'mon pretty good, fight back" Rie heckled, " Quit acting like a pussy"

" You would know," Kai counted, flipping the bird.

"Little Fucker," the demon growled, wounding her arms, " Death Light…"

A moment later, two whips manifested in both of her hands. These whips were longer than the teen's signature and seemed to move of there on free will. The sai-wielder had barely blinked when the weapons were on him, filleting the Russia-born like a flounder. Rie grinned as he howled in pain.

" Too easy,"

As soon as the comment flew from the lunar being's lips, a wave of fire slammed into her abdomen. This caused the demon to drop Kai and skidded halfway across the rooftop.

"What the hell?" third degree burns began forming on Rie's stomach. Kai spit blood from his mouth, smirking.

"What took you so damn long, Panda?"

"Like you even wanted me here, Speedo" Yohan huffed, dropping from the water tower she had been hiding on, " And for your information, traffic was a bitch,"

"Just like you," Kai snorted as the brunette helped him to his feet, " Serves you right for having me suffer through all that pain,"

"Pleas…" the gunslinger drawled, " You love playing the victim. How else would you get—"

The rest of the girl's sentence was muffled behind a blood-smeared hand. Emerald green eyes narrowed at the demon as crouched down, retrieving her fans.

The teen words instantly began to heal as the all the loose blood was drawn. Soon a huge crimson wave had formed

"Die bitch…." He seethed, sending the surge at his sister's captor. Rie was use to blood; it didn't scare her…usually. Though this blood that flooded her from a thousands direction was different. It was thick, bitter, foul, and pulsing like a thousand heartbeats. The dark-haired girl began to struggle, trying to fight against it but stopped short when the scarlet dispersed. The relief that twisted into a smile quickly turned into a gap as the blood morphed into tiny sai's. The weapons began stabbing her continuously, then dragging her own life source; an eerie brown blood, after doing so the process started over.

"She'll be dead soon," Kai gave a satisfied smile as Yohan bandaged his wounds.

"Then we should leave now instead of waiting for a corpse". The short-tempered boy nodded, and the two got ready to leave. A savage growl ripped through the air, taking them by surprise.

" Essence of Raptor" Hiro blared as his elongated, glowing claws shattered each blood-made weapon. Shards of ruby began raining down while the couch potato set Rie under the moonlight to rest. His eyes were hollowed out with fury, ready to kill. He flicked his wrist and a curved sword appeared in his hand. The dark-haired boy charged.

"DON'T!" the plea rang high in everyone's ears. Hiro stopped in mid rush as Sam landed in front of him. Her eyes were soaked with tears.

" Please Kuro-chan, you told me you didn't want to do this, then don't"

" I have to…" the demon growled, " I have to protect my sister; she's my only family,"

"But—"

"Shut-up!" Hiro jammed the sword into her calf. Sam screamed quaked California and accidentally activated her strongest attack, Apocalypse. When the darkness cleared, three things were certain; the demons were gone, all of the shamans were alive and the only thing that Jed had left of his daughter was the red gem once embedded her forehead.

Eight Days later,

" Ok, let me get this straight," Madison started, " You and Jed went to visit Sam ,but she was kidnapped by demon who mysteriously disappeared along with Hobo's supposed sorcerer's daughter after your sister attack them,"

"That's right," Kai grinned proudly

"Then ya'll spent a week chilling out in Disney World,"

"Yup, it was great!"

"And you had the balls not to bring me an Alice in Wonderland t-shirt signed by Johnny Depp!" the sword wielder snapped, " What's the hell, Kai? You're such a bastard. I can't believe you did—"

The curly haired girl was caught off guard when his slender fingers grabbed her chin before his lips made contact with her mouth. The kiss only lasted a minute, but both shamans could feel the heat.

"I'll remember next time" Kai swooned, pulling back.

"Kai…"Madison blushed before clocking her fist into his jaw and knocking the boy to the floor, " That's for spilling my coffee, you douche!"

"Not the first thing you wanna see when you first wake up…" Rini slurred from the doorway of her bedroom.


Wasn't that 25 pages of awesomeness? Oh I know yall are wondering Kai said this: " I can't believe I let this happen. The demon bitch who took Sam is gonna be praying for Lucifer to save her from my non existent mercy!" . The reaso i called this chapter Pardiase Hell is because its a contradiction. I love contradictions. Now please read and review. And if you're itching for more reading please check out my other fics.
