Yayoi came in with some tea. While Shido was sitting down and staring at this girl who came in. claiming that she had the answers to all their questions since day one. Starting with the death of Shi's parents. Mysterious deaths happening. Shi acting weird. And anything else that may have come their way.
Yayoi grabbed the tea cup in front of their guest. Yayoi was trying to remember were she met this person. But there was something about her that she couldn't even put her finger on. It seemed…..that she was…..not human…..but she was a human.
Grabbing her tea cup and taking a sip. She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to think of were to begin. She wanted to explain everything. But didn't know were to start.
"My, my this tea is excellent." the girl said with a smile.
"Uh, thank you." Yayoi replied not knowing what else to say.
"Well I bet you two….er….three are wondering why I am here ne? well like I said I have all the
answers to all of your questions. So ask away." the girl said taking another sip of her tea.
Yayoi looked at Shido and it seemed that he wanted to ask something but couldn't bring himself to say anything. The same problem was with Yayoi. Could they really trust this girl to tell the
truth? Could she really be the missing link to everything?
"Well it seems, that you both are wondering who I am. Well we were introduced before but it seems that my manners escaped me. I am Tao, but Shido knows me as Aaron." Tao said taking another sip of her tea.
Shido's eyes widened, when Tao revealed her name. It took him a moment. Shido rose to his feet and stared at the girl who was giving a little smile.
"Y…….y………you are Cain's daughter?!?!?" Shido said not controlling his outburst.
Tao touched her nose to indicate that he was right. Yayoi stared at Tao in complete shock. Guni was also dumbfounded at this unexpected outburst. But Tao did not flicker or seem uncomfortable about the situation. She handed her tea cup to Yayoi. Wanting some more.
"Don't look so shocked, Cain himself couldn't believe it either." Tao said in a calm voice.
"But how do we know we can trust you?" Shido asked.
Tao let out a little laugh. Which made Shido shift his wait from on foot to another. Yayoi was to nervous to even drink her tea before her.
"Because I am the only one you've got. And I to would like to see Cain suffer. You better make another kettle because this is gonna be a long story."

Walking along the cold streets at night. Trying to keep warm. Looking up at the sky, it looked like that it was going to rain……….again. Taking a deep sigh. For the first time in her life she realized just how alone she is. For the first time in her immortal life Shi wanted her parents back.
Walking over to the graveyard. Looking around for a certain grave. Walking over to a certain Crypt with the family name on it. Stopping she couldn't contain the tears. Blood ran down her cheeks. Shi collapsed in front of the two graves of her parents. Realizing her mistake that night all she wanted was her parents back. But nothing could bring them back.
*Mom, Dad. I am so sorry for everything. All I want is you guys back. I am alone, for the first
time in my life. Shido, Yayoi, and Guni are mad at me. Sarah has been missing for two days now. And Tao has seemed to disappeared.*
Not remembering what happened next. She drifted into a sleep. Not caring if anyone saw her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shido and Yayoi listened carefully the story that was being told to them. After Tao finished. It seemed as if a big burden was lifted from their shoulders. Shido took a deep sigh and realized that he was a pawn in Cain's "master" plan the hole time.
"So Cain has been manipulating Shi this whole time?" Yayoi finally asked.
"Well not exactly manipulating more like using her, and letting her problems blind you from the real stuff that is going on." Tao answered.
"But does she know this? There must be a reason why she is doing all this." Shido responded.
"That's the only that I don't know. She knows why he is doing this but wont do anything to stop him. In my opinion she is doing all this from her own free will." Tao took another sip of her tea.
Shido got up in sure disbelief. He wanted nothing for Tao to be wrong. But why would Shi be doing all of this? Was there a reason why she continued to serve Cain? Grabbing his coat he walked out not wanting to hear another word from Tao. Fearing that he would get more hurt from all that was happening.
*I was a pawn in his plan the hole time……but I was to blind to see it.*
Walking along the street he wanted to find Shi and tell her everything that was told to him. But he wasn't sure how he was going to tell her. But for all that he knew Tao could be lying to make
Shi look like the bad guy here. But then again, Tao could be telling the truth and Shi was nothing but evil the moment her parents died………
*Parents!*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Over to the graveyard he looked around for a certain tomb, he stopped when he saw a shadow lying on the floor of a crypt. Taking a few steps forward he realized that it was Shi. Going closer he realized that 'his' creation was fast asleep. Kneeling before her, he brushed the bangs out of her eyes. Which caused her to stir in her sleep. Backing up, he was still trying to figure out how he was going to ask her about everything. Looking down once again, her eyes were opened.
Waking up Shi rubbed her eyes and took a look around. She didn't even notice that Shido was in the place with her. Taking another look at the coffins her tears started once again. Shido wanted to comfort her somehow but all he could do was watch her feel sorry for herself.
"Shi………"
Shi turned around, to see her master looking at her. But it seemed that he had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask her. It seemed that Shido was having a inner fight. But Shi didn't want to say anything, because, it seemed every time that she spoke to him now-a-days it seemed to make him mad. So she waited to see what he had to say.
Shi stood up and dusted herself off, but still waited for Shido to say something. Looking into his eyes, made he feel that he was reading her mind. But still waited for him to say something. When Shido finally figured out what he wanted to say, the place grew cold. Much colder than it was to begin with. And a strange wind began to blow. Shido began to feel lightheaded and dizzy.
"NO!!!!!"
Shido fell to the ground unconscious. With Shi in sheer fear of what was going on. For she knew that if she stayed any loner, 'he' would show up and didn't want to be responsible for what was going on. Grabbing Shido's arms and trying to drag him out of this place. Because she didn't want 'him' to get Shido. When she finally reached the outside she realized that it was to easy.
Looking behind her she realized that Shido wasn't even in her arms! A dark shadow had swallowed him up. And she saw a smile out of that shadow. Then she realized something, running where ever her legs could carry her. She needed to get some help. But didn't know were to look. She 'thought' Yayoi wasn't even there. So she was all alone, and didn't know what to do. Falling to her knees, and she began to cry, realizing that she was being used. Used only to get Shido to come back to Cain.
