And we are back! Sorry for the delay again! August was a crazy month. Birthday, finals, portfolio shows it was a mess. And then I had a moment where I didn't want to write fanfiction at all. I thought I was getting too old. I remember the first time I watched anime in the 6th grade when my friend let me borrow her manga collection, and I became obsessed and I wrote every single day when I came home from school. And let me say that having a fictional love interest throughout your teenage years did soothe my raging hormones. But I'm not a teenager any more (of sorts) and I thought I was way too old to be writing about demons and silly cartoons as my sister says. But then I said…fuck it. Yu Yu Hakusho is my adolescence and I love it, and I think you guys love to read my stuff. So EFF you world I want to be a love struck teen just a little longer!

Hiei was never a demon wander down memory lane, yet his mind couldn't help but to roll back into a place where things were happier, yet as always Hiei seemed to be irritated with her.

"Hn, what!"

To say that the young demon was romantic would be an extreme exaggeration from the small amounts of compassion he gave to Ruri and the others. Yet Ruri was as persistent as he was stubborn, and this night she was not going down without a fight, or a cuddle.

"Spoon." She grumbled while she gave him another kick at the back of his shin. It was hard enough for Ruri to get Hiei into bed with her, and now she decided to push the envelope further by snuggling against his warm skin, eagerly awaiting his reaction. After all they were cooped up in some random abandoned building, Ruri still giving off the impression that she was brainwashed by Koenma and the Spirit World. She rather liked the idea; of course she would tell Yusuke and the others in time, yet she enjoyed spending alone time with Hiei, except when he was being an ass like this.

"Tch, what the hell does sleeping and utensils have in common?"

Hiei growled further as he could hear her giggle from behind him. Ruri let out a sigh as she grabbed at Hiei's waist before pulling his backside towards her hips and stomach, "Spoon." She repeated with a smirk, silently clenching his victory.

Hiei's growl still festered in his stomach yet he remained still as an eerie sensation crossed over his body. His psyche, which usually churned with anger and bitterness towards the world, was replaced with calmness and serenity. He could feel Ruri press against his collarbone as her mouth rested behind his ear.

"You know," She murmured softly, her tongue slowly lapping at his earlobe, "You do make a good little spoon."

"Hiei…Hiei..."

The demon in question was lost again, his mind wandering into another day dream, of course about his mate Ruri. The outside world they both dwelled in was broken, however in the safety of his mind and memories she was still the same; she was unbroken.

"Hiei!" Mukuro had enough of her second in commands wandering mind as she gave him an abrupt kick to his side as he sat on the floor next to the catatonic Ruri. Hiei's red orbs snapped awake, a sharp growl escaping his curled lips as he instinctually put his arm over Ruri's body.

"Oh please," Mukuro rolled her human eye as she leaned down to pick up Ruri as she walked her over towards the glass tank that laid on the floor, her feet careful to walk over the overweight sleeping dog. Hiei seemed to hate it, yet he was persistent that the four legged creature be brought with them for when Ruri had awoken in the temple.

The temple; it wasn't like her usual dwellings; in fact Mukuro hated the human world. All the hype of a great land to be conquered seemed to be nothing more than a giant waste of space. She was trapped in this waste of space with none other than the woman of Hiei's affection and the hybrid son of her former nemesis. Her once giant castle was somewhat rebuilt in the left wing of Genkai's temple. The blinds were shut, the only light glowing in the room was the glass rehabilitation tank that sat in the center of the room which was monitored by two demon guards Mukuro had managed to smuggle over to the human world.

Hiei watched his master take his mate in her arms before she began stripping her clothes, causing another growl from the demon. Rather than her usual rant and snarl she shot a small wave of energy at the red eyed demon, knocking him backwards towards the wooden walls.

"Hiei if you are going to continue to interrupt I'm going to put you in a coma."

The demon in question grumbled as he slowly maneuvered to his feet, his eyes shifting the ground beneath him as he tried to regain his balance; his body was still weak from his fight with Dendera days ago. Rather than return the attack he made his way over towards Mukuro, pushing her guards away from Ruri's body as he removed the remainder of her clothing. He continued by sticking the small white tubes and wires against her skin before fastening the breathing apparatus to her mouth. He was weak, but he was still possessive, and no one was going to touch her unless he allowed it.

He could see Mukuro smirk from the corner of his eye as he lowered her into the tank before he turned on the machine. Bright blue water poured into the tank as Ruri was slowly submerged in the healing waters as fresh air began to pump in her lungs, his stone slowly began to rise in the water, hovering above Ruri's chest while glistening in its reflection against the water.

"Come," Mukuro spoke as she began to exit the room, "you have yet to see your friends."

"My place is here."

He cursed his weak energy as Mukuro grabbed at his shoulder, dragging him out of the room, "If I have to sit and socialize with them, so will you."

After turning many halls the young demon was practically tossed into the large open living room into a pit of gasps and hugs, none of which Hiei was fond of.

"Hiei!" Yusuke was the first to yank the small demon into his freshly bandaged arms, "Hell we thought you were dead!"

"If you squeeze him any harder he will be." Kurama pressed as he tapped Yusuke in the back, "Welcome back Hiei."

"So, where is she?! Where's…Ruri? I can't trace her energy anywhere." Kuwabara asked as he ran into the room. All eyes turned towards Hiei who simply cast his own eyes downward.

"Ruri is in the temple," Mukuro explained yet her tone dispelled any hopes the group had of her safety, "however Dendera's attack nearly killed her, as well as stopping her heart for six minutes. She's in a rehabilitation tank in the east wing, and if…when she wakes up you can ask her yourself what happened."

"We all saw what happened; so is our little demon machine going to fix her or not?" Yusuke asked sternly causing Mukuro to toss back her orange hair.

"It fixed you well enough Yusuke, and you weren't too far from her condition."

Kuwabara was the first to act as he attempted to run towards the hallway to his fallen student rather he was stopped by Mukuro who held her hand in front of him.

"You wouldn't want to see her like this." She cautioned, which caused the young teen further irritation.

"No one will see her at all." Hiei added with a curl of his lips.

"But we're…we're her friends too Hiei! You can't just say she's almost dead and that we're not allowed to see her?! Come on guys-"

"Hiei's right." Kurama nodded which further halted and riled up Kuwabara. Making his way over to his angered friend he continued, "Ruri, as well as all of us need time to recover, and we should be more than thankful to Mukuro and her technology to help us heal."

Kuwabara bit his lip as he turned and stormed out of the room. Kurama and the others watched before Yusuke walked towards his wife, escorting her out towards the balcony. Hiei watched them leave as he examined the room and its surroundings. He was surprise to see that his comrades were in similar if not worse shape than he was, Yusuke had his arms covered in bandages as was Chu, Jin and Touya, which surprised him even further.

"What, what are they doing in the Human World?"

"Hiei come, there is much to tell you." Kurama began as he led the demon from the living room into a small room that faced the gardens of the temple. Hiei watched the fox as he closed the door before running his hands through his crimson hair, a clear sign of his stress.

"How have you been sleeping?" Kurama asked on a more pepper tone not only to receive a more sour response from Hiei.

"Hn, spare me the simple talk. What are three middle class demons and an S class like Mukuro doing in the Human World?"

"Human World is the safest place for refugees right now. As you can assume Dendera won the tournament; Yusuke and I were squared off against each other in the semifinals and we decided that he should face her, yet he could not hold a candle to her power. We were lucky to escape. The Spirit Defense Force set up a blockade to protect the barrier and the portals to the Human World, so we are sort of gridlocked here."

Hiei remained silent as he absorbed his words before speaking, "So what is the plan."

The fox shrugged his shoulders, "As of now there is no plan, it is a waiting game until we can all recover."

"Wait until what? The Makai, our home, is turned to shit?!" Hiei snapped to his feet as his hands balled into a fist.

"Hiei relax, we are working with what little resources we have left…your energy seems low, have you slept in awhile?"

"Tch, stop changing the subject!" Hiei's lips curled as he batted his eyes, his focus slowly fading in and out of the fox he stared at. Kurama didn't let this go unnoticed as he turned towards a drawer before pulling out a piece of chocolate before handing it towards the dark haired demon.

"Here, at least you can eat something."

Hiei stared at the dark chocolate square with the strange purple tint before he snatched it from his friends hand and shoving it into his mouth. Pausing for a moment he rose to his feet towards the door, "I'm going to check on her-"

Yet as the demon reached for the handle his vision once again blurred as his body seemed to freeze in place before an uncomfortable wave of fatigue crossed over his body, "Wha?"

"Easy," Kurama murmured as he took his friend into his arms before slowly moving his body towards the bed. Hiei tried to fight off the fox's moves yet his energy and his body slowly sunk towards the ground.

"You, you poisoned me." Hiei grumbled as his body met with the mattress.

Kurama let out a soft chuckle as he watched Hiei slowly bat his eyelashes, "No, no poisoning. Perhaps you can ask your mate about the Vine of Dreams when you both wake up."

"…bastard." Hiei had to get his final threat in.

Kurama had watched the demon flutter his eyes before he eventually succumbed to his fatigue and fell into a deep slumber on the mattress. Throughout their years as comrades, partners in crime, and even further relationships the fox had never seen the demon in front of him so exhausted before. Sure many of times they have battled to near death in both demon and human world, yet Hiei's inner psyche was crumbling, and his unseen, yet raging emotions were draining on him. Of course once the slumbering demon awakens he will mostly likely kill the closest thing around him, so the young fox made sure to exit the room promptly. Running his hands through his hair he sighed as the all to familiar vibration came from his pant pocket.

He knew who it was, and the calls were becoming more rapid as he declined each one. He was beginning to miss his mothers nagging, but Karen Watanabe was persistent as always. Taking the phone in his hands he examined the small screen, Karen's number blinking at him before it shut off to a final beep, signifying that he once again ignored her call. Kurama was beginning to hate his human feelings he had picked up over his time in this world. Before, his Youko self had many lovers, and any sort of affection was on his terms. Now Kurama had not only got attached to a mother, now he had friends, and soon to be nieces and nephews thanks to Kuwabara. Hiei was on an affection level all of his own, and now he had Karen to worry about. Not only was she a complete lush, she was slowly worming her prescription filled hands around his own icy heart. And his soul yearned to tell her his true demon nature.

It was strange, yet the fox wasn't surprised as to why he had become fond of Karen. They were complete opposites from an outside perspective yet Karen much matched the redhead demon. They were both full of secrets and mysterious; Karen more forthcoming with her secrets of course. Karen was older than him in human years. Yet the 12 year age difference did not compare to the thousands of years his Youko past had on her. She was intelligent to say the least, and she could keep up with his quick mind in conversations on any topic. And as she was intellectual she was beautiful. Her age hidden beneath her soft ivory skin and luscious auburn hair while her plush rose lips puckered with every taste of her cigarette of kisses she laid on his neck and chest. Her eyes were what were most stunning. Simple and brown yet they held such gaze when she stared at him from close within each other's arms or the twinkle she would give from the corner of her eye when they sat opposite in the classroom. She was the only human and one of two lovers that he had given his human self to completely. Yet he found more pleasure being the student of sorts as he was the teacher to his former lover many years ago…

"You know she is going to keep calling." Kurama lifted his head up as Genkai strode around the corner of the hallway to lock eyes with the fox demon.

"Am I that predictable these days?" Kurama mused as he slid his phone back into the safety of his pant pocket.

Genkai chuckled, her wrinkles slowly wavering on her face as she shook her head, "Geez, and to think I thought I had one idiot pupil taking my place."

The fox gave the old woman a strange look, his mind still processing if Genkai was becoming senile or if she actually intended to insult him, "I don't understand."

"Of course you don't." She snickered, "Look fox boy. I know what is going through your head, and let's just say you should really consider your options before you take my place here." Her smile widened as he still remained confused at her words. Turning her head she looked over to Yusuke, Kuwabara and the others sit around the living room. Yusuke had his hand draped over his wife Keiko as she leaned her head into his shoulder.

"I thought that kid would never grow up, both of them in fact. And now they are going to start their own lives away from saving our asses."

"What does that have to do with me?" Kurama asked.

"Hmph, I know your plan. You plan on waiting until I die and then moving my ashes outside as you move into the temple. You are going to watch Kuwabara, Yusuke, hell even Hiei have children of their own and you are going to take your place as the favorite uncle until your human life leaves you old and miserable at this temple, waiting out until die so you can return to the demon world. Trust me, that is not a life worth living."

It was so strange how Genkai could read the redhead so easily, yet she was right in every single word.

"I always wanted to have children of my own," Genkai continued as she crossed her arms over her frail body, "yet I didn't have the best taste in lovers shall we say. And now I'm too old to go looking for someone to spend my final years with. What I am trying to say is don't be an idiot, I have too many of those to look after as it is."

Kurama smiled, perhaps his first genuine grin in the past few days, Genkai was crass and often cruel, yet she was right, especially about this. "Will you excuse me Genkai."

The old woman nodded before a sly smirk crossed her features as she watched the red haired demon walk towards the entrance of the temple.

Kurama drove unusually fast towards Gokana Place as his maroon car pulled to a stop in front of Karen's white town home. His senses felt a strange shift in the air as he closed the door to his car, something seemed off. And the fox in question was not in the mood for anything out of the ordinary. He could feel the strain of Karen's energy as he turned the knob of the front door. Kurama had a key to her home, and was never a person to knock anyways, yet as he strode into the living room his eyes narrowed on the unfamiliar stranger that stood in between him, and a very frustrated Karen.

"Who the hell are you?" The man asked as he two exchanged looks with Kurama. Kurama was unimpressed by this stranger. He stood no taller than the fox with short black hair that slicked back behind his ears. His face was littered in stubble as well as a deep snarl as he patted down his dark grey business suit.

"Suichi, now would not be the best time." Karen commented as her defeated posture leaned against the wall as she lit a cigarette to her lips. Noticing the crumpled remains of five other cigarette butts Kurama had begun to assess the situation in front of him.

"I missed a call," He answered simply.

"Karen, want to tell me who this kid is?" The gruff man snarled as he turned towards the auburn haired woman.

"He doesn't concern you Yoji. Weren't you on your way out?"

"Hmm," Yoji ran his hands through his stubble filled face before he eyed Kurama up and down, "Don't you think it would have been polite for you to have waited for our divorce to be cheating on me Karen?"

"Hah," the woman in question spat out as she ground the cigarette into the table, "how about you tell your new fiancé I said hello."

Yoji's eyes narrowed as he turned towards the door "See if you get to see our daughter with that kind of attitude,"

"I said! Get, out." Karen shouted, her voice echoing over the cream colored walls of the open aired living room. Yoji snickered softly to himself as he headed towards Kurama and the door. The two exchanged looks as the fox brushed passed the gruff man towards Karen who now held her head in her hands. He waited until the door closed before he sat on the plush couch adjacent to her before speaking,

"A former student of yours?"

Karen's usual crass comment or bitter remarks weren't heard as a vase slamming against the wall took its place. Kurama lifted his head, briefly connecting eyes with Karen before she reached for another cigarette.

"So," He asked again as he snatched away her addiction, "care to tell me who that was."

"His name is Yoji." Karen answered as she ran her hands through her hair, "He's my ex husband...soon to be. I would have told you eventually."

"I see, and-"

"He is the biggest asshole ever!" Karen cut him off as she reached for another vase on the table, "A no good, son of a-" Karen could no longer keep her composure as the first streak of tears crossed down her cheeks. Instantly she found herself in the comfort of her students arms as Kurama curled her form into him.

"He's going to take my daughter away from me." She murmured between tears.

"How, you seem like a, fit parent." Of sorts.

"Right." The auburn haired girl sniffed, "Being a famous poet, alcoholic and frequent stomach pump member I hardly fit the bill. And the fact that Yoji is a high powered lawyer doesn't help either. But my daughter is everything to me...I wish,"

Kurama's eyes grew dark as he held her in his arms as she finished.

"I wish he would just go away."

Hiei's body jerked violently as he pulled himself awake; his muscles tingling as the effects of Kurama's potions wore from his body. Yes he felt refreshed, yet his newly revived energy would now be put to use spilling Kurama's blood. Stupid fox.

"Hiei! Hiei thank goodness you're awake!" Botan called as she pushed open the door to the small bedroom.

"Hn," Hiei grumbled as he reached for his katana, "That stupid arrogant fox I'll-"

"No time for that!" She yelled as she grabbed the demon by the arm.

"What-Tch, release me you blue haired dev-"

"Yukina is in labor!"

It was at that moment the demon still wished he still unconscious.

"Hiei?" Botan gave the demon a confused look, "Are you alright?"

Hiei couldn't tell what he was, his facial expression mingled between anger, fear, and pure nausea. Botan herself was never one for figuring out peoples necessities; rather she still yanked at his shoulder as they ran across the temple.

"Snap out of it okay, she needs her b-she needs you."

Hiei decided not to rip out her lungs for her second blunder at revealing his identity; he however removed his arm from her grip as she walked into Yukina and Kuwabara's shared bedroom, his form still lingering in the shadows.

Everyone was crowded around her as she laid on the futon style bed, her small frail knees pushed up to the ceiling in position as a white cloth draped over her waist and toes. Even in her moment of pre-labor she seemed calm and collected and her face filled with her usual pleasant smile. Meanwhile Kuwabara was pacing back and forth nervously as Keiko and Shizuru held her hand and fanned her face. Botan tried to calm Yusuke who was acting like a child in the corner while Genkai merely shook her head at the debacle before her. Hiei felt like a stranger here. Though he was Yukina's twin and nearly identical half he felt incredibly out of place in the whole scenario as if a passerby who happened to stumble across a woman giving birth to twins. Yet he was her, and in a way she was him. He remembered the time that he too shared their mother's womb together; Hiei was a much stronger demon than her and could hear the world outside of him, hate already filling his heart, yet he was always comforted as he felt Yukina press up against him. Her infant body curled into him much like Ruri had months ago. It was his first, and perhaps fondest moment of peace he shared with his sister. Before their world of hate and torture began they had peace together. Yet that was a distant memory of the past.

The demon's eyes turned as he felt Kurama's presence from behind him. His first instinct was to kill the fox for poisoning him, yet his scent threw him off as he turned towards him.

"I received word of Yukina's delivery and I assume you slept well?" Kurama mused as he stepped towards the open doorway only to be blocked by the short fire demon.

"Don't try to fool me fox. Should inquire first about your poisoning of me, or the smell of human blood on your hands."

It was a rare moment, but in the seconds the demon spoke the fox's eyes flashed a familiar silver before he blinked slowly, "…There seem to be more pressing issues at hand Hiei, don't you agree?"

"Hn." Hiei still remained in his path; his deep ruby eyes draped over the fox's body before he turned as Yukina let out a small gasp of pain. At his moment of distraction Kurama gently made his way past the demon before he came to Yukina's side with a small vile in his hands.

"How are you doing?" He asked with a smile to the mother to be.

Yukina gave him a soft smile, "Well enough, thank you Kurama but I must ask if you would happen to have anything for pain?" She still remained eloquent as ever as a second contraction passed through her body.

"Yes, you should drink this, consider it a demon epidural."

"Alright!" Genkai clapped her hands causing everyone's eyes to draw towards her, "There is no need for an audience. Kurama, you, Keiko and Kuwabara can stay and everyone else beat it!"

"Hey! Why can't I stay!" Botan protested with a pout.

"Because you aren't a doctor or a husband, or someone with enough calmness to help; and besides Yusuke needs a second set of legs to lean on before he keels over."

"Hmph!" Botan gave an even deeper pout as she dragged the still woozy Yusuke out of the bedroom towards the living room. Hiei still remain in the darkness of the doorway, his eyes fixated on his sister as she took several deep breaths from the bed. He hated this, she looked like their mother. And the same feelings of separation and anxiety were once again resurfacing in him as it did when he was just an infant. He never admitted it before, yet he needed her dearly, he needed his mate at his side.

"What are you going to do when Yukina has kids?" Ruri asked as she stretched her arms in the air before turning to her new mate.

Hiei gave her a disgusted and uninterested look before he set his eyes at the sunset from the window of the abandoned home they took residence in.

"I mean, she's going to have some eventually, you know that right?"

"Tch, you waste oxygen with your stupid comments human." Hiei's bitter remarks weren't hitting her feelings as they used to due to her laughter.

"I'm just saying. You are going to have to deal with nieces and nephews soon enough. Hey I'll promise you this," She hovered at the base of his feet before crawling up his limps before straddling his waist, "I promise I'll be cool aunt and you can be the grumpy uncle."

Her laugh filled the room as Hiei gave her his usual death glare, "Okay sorry. Sore subject."

"Hn. That idiot oaf all over her, and their children will be the most hideous-"

"I have a second promise for you." The deep luster of her voice perked the fire demons interest as she continued, "I'm great at distractions. Hell when Yukina is giving birth and everyone is going crazy I will remember to keep you very, very occupied. You won't have to worry about a thing." She smirked softly as her soft human teeth nibbled at the base of his jaw before her body circled his in an amorous hug.

Even now he could still feel the tinge of her teeth at his neck and the emptiness he felt without her at his side as she promised him half a year ago. He didn't like this feeling, the feeling of wanting; wanting someone to love though he could not love himself and wanting to belong to a group that he despised. Yet he still sat alone in the darkness for what seemed to be hours, his mind coiling back into his memories before a piercing cry broke the silence of the temple.

He didn't know if it was instinct, his nerves, or the deep desire to find the screeching object and kill it yet he nearly stumbled into the bedroom before being caught by the elderly woman of the temple. Her usual crass remark was met with silence as she smiled at him before whispering, "You have a niece."

The wailing once again resurfaced as a new set of cries echoed the small room. Hiei didn't want to turn downwards to see them though Genkai was present to break the second news, "and a nephew."

His body shook, and his legs seemed wriggle underneath his torso as he tried to gain balance of what was transpiring around him.

"Hiei, come sit." Yukina asked softly, her face still flushing from her labor. Hiei did as he was told as he sat at her side near Kurama who welcomed him with a slender arm around his shoulders, "I want you to hold him."

"Yukina I-" Hiei attempted to protest yet the young mother was persistent as she handed him the newborn child bundled together in a sheet. Hiei didn't know how to approach the situation, or the child yet he handled the infant as he would glass by flexing his palms outward and balancing the baby in his hands. Kurama smirked at his awkward positioning.

Hiei glanced down at his secret nephew; the infant still had his eyes closed ad was in between yawns and cries before it settled at licking his lips and gasping for air. Unlike human newborns, mixed race or pure demon infants didn't need extensive care and we mostly able to breathe on their own. Yet the baby still had the puffed cheeks and blue-ish tint of a newborn human which Hiei found strange. Suddenly the child squeezed its eyes before they opened to the world. Hiei held his breath in his chest as the linked eyes with the same red orbs both he and his sister shared. He didn't like that he was the first thing this child ever laid eyes upon. His own mind drew back to the first time he blinked his own eyes, yet he was met with hate and disgust. Hiei did not want to leave that impression on the innocence of Yukina's child, rather in a rare moment he genuinely smiled down at his nephew. Though he was still uncomfortable at the idea of being the secret uncle to these children he had sworn to himself he would never let them, especially his nephew be treated with anything other than kindness and love.

He held him for an awkward few minutes before passing it back towards his sister who cradled him in his arms as the sniffling Kuwabara nuzzled at his daughter.

"So," Kurama asked, "Have you thought of any names for them?"

Yukina glanced at her husband before a warm smile crossed her face, "We have. Ever since I was informed about the murder of my people I wanted to pick names that were strong and loving, just like my friends I have made here in the human world. Our little boy is going to be Kazue because he will be strong and kind just like his father." She blushed softly as she exchanged children with Kuwabara before receiving a kiss from him on her lips, "And my little girl is named after someone very loving, and full of life. She's not here but I wanted to ask you Hiei if we could name her after your mate, we want to call her Rima."

Hiei gave his second smile of the evening as he exchanged orbs with his sister. It felt serene between them as if it was years and years ago when they were closed off together in their mother's womb. Pausing he nodded before answering with his simple "Hn."

The demon excused himself from the room as the others from the group made their way in to cuddle and congratulate the couple. Hiei found himself on the opposite corner of the temple, his eyes now gazing into the glass tank of which his mate was floating in the waters. The coils of wires covered over her body like vines to a column though he could still see her face through the mask as her lips remained plush to the fresh oxygen flowing through her body. His Jagan as well as the rest of his forehead pressed against the cool glass as he closed his eyes, his body once again drifting off into a dream about her. Yukinas labor exhausted his mind and conscious and nearly found himself falling asleep while leaned against the tank. As he blinked his mind traced not back to the times he had shared with his mate, yet they drifted to a utopian future of their lives together, ridden of war, death, and violence where they two raised a child of their own.

See you next chapter. Rate and review!

Coming up next:

"Friends please." The dark haired boy held his hands defenselessly in the air as he was met with the combined energy of Hiei and the others, "we come here in peace."

Yusuke's brown eyes narrowed as he stared at Tavik as well as two other female demons that remained hidden underneath a dark purple cloak, "Why the hell should we trust you?"

"My name is Kadaj." The first female spoke from beneath her cloak while a white orb appeared from behind her, "and we are here to help you."

"We come here in peace," The second female answered as she removed her cloak, her dark violet hair brushing to her shoulders, "and for revenge."
