"Ok let's go!" Dante said, happily.
"What now?" I asked.
"Of course, no time like the present" he replied.
"Ok, but you'll have to give me some time to pack some things" Dante frowned.
"Girls" he said, shaking his head. I left to pack, and Dante sighed as I left.
"Guess I should get some stuff as well, I'll meet you outside in twenty. Ok" I heard Nero say as I opened my bedroom door. After packing my bag, and changing my clothes, I went back down to the office to find Dante sitting at his desk.
"Bout time" he said, standing.
"Well, I had to make sure I had everything I needed." I replied, dropping my bag on the desk.
"Nero said he'll meet us outside, but I say we ditch the kid and go now" Dante smirked.
"Nice try" I said, picking my bag back up and leaving the office.
Outside Nero was leaning on the bonnet of my car.
"Get your butt off my car" I said, playfully.
"Are you ready? Let's go" he replied.
"Just a second" Dante said, turning to lock the doors of his office.
"Ok let's go" he turned back to us and grinned.
"This should be interesting" I said to myself, as I got into my car and placed my bag on the backseat next to Nero.
"Everybody ready?" I asked. Dante nodded.
"Yeah let's go" Nero said, happily.
After about an hour of Dante flicking through station after station on the radio I finally snapped.
"Stop that! It's annoying" I glared at him briefly before returning my eyes to the road.
"Sorry" he replied.
"Are we there yet?" he complained.
"Not yet, about another hour away" I sighed.
"I thought you said three hours earlier?" Nero said from the backseat.
"Yeah well, I'm driving a little faster than most people that was just an estimate" I said, grinning at him in the rear view mirror, he shook his head and grinned back.
"Eyes on the road" Dante said.
"Yeah yeah I know" I complained.
We drove for another hour before the city was in sight.
"See that, that's my city" I said, triumphantly. The gates stood four storeys high and where carved with intricate details.
"Wow, that's some entrance" Dante said, whistling.
"It is isn't it" I replied, I slowed as the gates approached and the guard towers on either side, became visible.
"I'll handle it" I said as I got out of the car and approached the window in the tower's base.
"Erm hi my name is..."
"Lady Kayla!" the man behind the window exclaimed.
"Yes, err I would like to see my sister would it be possible for me and my companions to enter." I said politely.
"Of course my Lady, please let me open the gate" the young man still seemed surprised and a little scared but he opened the gate anyway.
"ok all taken care of" I said as I got back into the car, as we drove forward into the city I had once called home, behind us another car pulled up, I looked back to see a jeep with a blonde man sitting in the front next to him a dark haired man in green sat. The two in the back where arguing animatedly.
"This place sure is popular" Nero said, watching the car behind us.
"Of course" I said, as if it was obvious.
"Ok, I guess we should go to the palace first then I'll show you guys around" I decided, driving down the straight street which led directly to the palace at the centre of the city.
"That place was your home?" Nero said, in awe. Before us the white palace stood its four towers stood high above the city.
"Yeah it was" I answered. We stopped outside the gates to the palace staring at the two guards, before us.
"Stop!" they shouted as I got out of the car.
"Wait!" one of the guards said.
"Aren't you Lady Kayla?" he asked, walking toward me. I nodded, silently.
"It's you" he said, bowing to me.
"My Lady forgive me, I did not recognise you"
"It's ok, may we enter?" I returned his bow.
"Yes of course" he exclaimed. I returned to the car and the gates opened.
Driving into the palace courtyard it was as if I had never left. The place hadn't changed.
"Ok, here we go" I parked the car in the courtyard, and got out.
"Wonder where everyone is" I wondered to myself, locking the car and walking toward the palace entrance.
"This place is amazing" Nero said, grinning.
We entered through the huge doors to see the throne room, it was huge with columns lining the walls. I walked down the centre of them, staring at the empty throne.
"Wow" Dante said, whistling.
"Just stay close and you won't get lost" I said looking over my shoulder at the two. As I turned back to the throne there she was, my sister.
"Kayla!" my twin shouted, standing and running toward me.
"Kate" she hugged me tightly.
"You look different from your picture" Dante said, behind me.
"Yes well, she's ten years older than me now, it took her ten years to revive me, and so she is older than me" I confirmed as I my sister stared behind me at the two devil hunters.
"They are my friends, Nero and Dante" I said, pointing to the two, they both smiled and nodded in response.
"It's nice to see you're not alone" my sister said, smiling.
"How have you been?" I asked her.
"There hasn't been a day when I haven't thought of you dear. I missed you so much, but I've been well. She answered, hugging me again.
"Come we have so much to talk about" she said, taking my hand and leading me into the meeting room behind the throne room, Dante and Nero followed silently behind us.
"So how have you been?, what have you been doing with yourself?" my sister asked, as we sat at the table with drinks in front of us.
"Calm down. I've been good, I've been living with Dante for some time now. And I have a job too" I answered she grinned at me looking very interested.
"Well go on, what do you do for a living?" she asked.
"I err, I'm a demon hunter" I said finally, expecting her to recoil but her expression didn't change.
" So have you forgiven yourself yet?" she asked, her face turning more serious. I nodded silently.
"Lying to me won't help" she said, tilting her head.
"Sorry" I said, smiling slightly.
The two silver haired men were silently listening beside me.
"My Lady, why are you in the meeting room?" A familiar voice, said as a blonde man opened the door.
"My Lady..." he trailed off as he stared at me.
"Kayla" he whispered, stopping in his tracks.
"Christian" I said, standing, beside me Dante stood also and placed his arm around my shoulders with a look on his face that said, don't you dare come near me.
"It's nice to see you again" Christian said, looking rather intimidated.
"Dante, what's gotten into you?" I said, moving from under his arm, he looked at me for a long time before sitting back down.
"I've missed you" Christian said, I looked down at the floor not able to meet his gaze.
"And you as well" I said, too formerly.
"I have to get back to work, but we'll talk later" he answered, bowing to me.
"Ok" I answered, I returned to my seat.
"So that's the guy" Dante said, glaring at the door where Christian had left the room.
