The Devil's Rule

Chapter One: Hereafter

There is something weird I won't believe

I'm losing my grip on my life time

I don't understand this wave that I'm in

Wrong place, no money, just responsibilities

-Lacuna coil

His senses were muddled, as his consciousness started to rouse. Head aching, body parts protesting to his movements as he sat grabbing at his forehead as if it would stop the ache. It did nothing, moving fingers towards his temples he began to rub the pain away. It worked to a degree. Golden orbs peeked from beneath their lids, blinking a couple of times as things came into view. Jumping to his feet he began to look around wildly, panic seizing his heart.

It was the same forest at the edge, the same field and the same river at the side but where was the battle? Where was the bodies of the dead, the scent and sight of blood? How long had he been out? How was he even alive? His breaths began to come out ragged as the fear grew within his gut. Reaching down for his sheathed sword he placed it within the belt of his hakama and forced his breath, his heart and his demon half to calm themselves. He would not be able to make sense of things in this state of mind. With another calming breath, Inuyasha began to walk back towards the camp hoping against hope that the war was not over. If it were did they win, did his brother get his revenge? Or is Sesshoumaru dead, and if alive does he think that Inuyasha deserted him or perhaps is dead? Shaking his head of the thoughts he worked on keeping his mind blank save for the mechanical rules of survival that his brother ingrained into his brain sense the first moments he could walk.

Walking in a winding path, incase of being fallowed, he let his senses take over for him leading him towards the camp of his allies. No smells of demons, barely any wild life, all he could sent was that of the forest. He found it strange that before he left to fight, forest was teeming with life, both wild and demon alike. He could hear nothing but the wind and swaying of the trees, not to mention the river to his left, and bird songs. Unsheathing his sword he took a few swipes at the vines and such that blocked his path allowing him access to the other side.

He froze.

Jumping up into the trees Inuyasha watched, and waited for whatever was heading towards his direction to make its appearance. Slowing his breathing down to soft short breaths, forcing his heart to calm he let his eyes stay intent on the direction the sound came from. Who would it be, the enemy or ally? His senses told him they were small one demon and the other human, and held not an ounce of deadly grace sense he could hear the grass and twigs crunch and snap beneath their footfalls. With another steady breath he watched as the tall grass was parted and two figures showed themselves, while he eased out his sword.

Nearly dropping from his perch, Inuyasha schooled his face from the shock he felt and showed upon seeing whom his prey was. Children! A demon and a human child? What were their mothers thinking letting them play out in the middle of the woods where a war was ragging on? That is if it still were, even if it weren't there are always the missionaries and men left behind to worry about. They could be killed, tortured, eaten by demons who found the flesh a tasty treat. Inuyasha shuddered visibly at the mental pictures the thought brought out. He had happened upon scenes in the war when the fighting got to close to a village and the other side thought to pillage them for supplies. Shuddering again Inuyasha forced the memories away as he re-sheathed his katana and allowed himself to land before the two.

Jumping out of their skins the two fell to their butts, looking up at him with fear; they scooted back a bit with the kitsune child standing in front of the human on protectively. Inuyasha had to scoff at that; did the pipsqueak really think that he could take him on, the great demon lord's son?

With a small shaky voice, the kitsune let his eyes move to those of the human boy's. "Don't worry Souta, I'll protect you!" He tried to sound brave while puffing up his chest, but he could not hide the fear in his eyes from the hanyou nor could he hide the tremors.

Before either could move the human boy called Souta jumped to his feat placing himself in front of the kitsune, peering upon the youkai before him curiously. Eyes with a child like innocence and curiosity, roamed Inuyasha's form taking note of the ears, claws fangs, eye color and hair color before coming to rest on the blade. "Wow." He breathed. Inuyasha followed his gaze to his Tetsusaiga, and then let his eyes settle back upon the boy. Why didn't he fear him like the kitsune had? Why wasn't he running away, why did he leave what little protection he had from him, the hanyou Inuyasha?

Souta let his eyes meet the golden orbs of the hanyou. His sister had shown him how to tell the difference between youkai and hanyou depending on their type. This one before him was clearly a dog demon, but what let you know that he was hanyou were the ears protruding from his head. He had an indescribable urge to reach out and grab them like he would any dog and give them a good rub down, but reframed himself. He was still demon after all and may not take to kindly to having himself be touched by another, especially a human boy. "Is that a real demon blade?" He inquired, eyes traveling back to the katana at the hanyou's side.

"Souta what are you doing?" The kitsune whined, jumping up to perch himself upon the human boy's shoulder crossing his arms face twisted in a pout. "You shouldn't be talking to him! He could work for the Over Lord, and if that is so then you, me and Haha-ue will be in trouble." The kit whined again, throwing a glare in the hanyou's direction. Inuyasha returned the glare, but not so deadly or heated, not like one he would give to an enemy solder or some one making fun of his being half-demon. No, the kit only said they should not talk to him because of some over lord... what Over Lord? He found himself wondering, Japan hold no such person. He continued to watch them, his curiosity getting the better of him; it allowed no words to be spoken from his mouth to interrupt this little chat.

Not once taking his eyes off of the hanyou before him, though not because of fear but of fascination, he replied to the kit. "Shippo don't you see that sword, it's a demon made blade." Taking his eyes off of Inuyasha, he let them go to the Kitsune upon his shoulder smiling excitedly. "That means he's on the run from the Over Lord, so we gotta help him... we have to hide him at the shrine so he can't be found."

Shippo's eyes nearly bugged out from his head. "You want to hide him at the shrine!" He shouted out in stunned horror. "Where Haha-ue is, what if they track him there and then Haha-ue gets taken as well?" He pointed out hopping to detour him from his line of thought, even though the kit knew it was pointless. Like haha-ue, once Souta had his mindset on something there was no going back.

Souta shook his head absentmindedly as he began to ponder on his plan a bit more. "Don't worry about ane-ue, she can take care of herself... besides he won't be found, I'll make sure of it." He replied confidently. "Now if he's got the blade then that must mean he somehow got through ane-ue's barrier, but that doesn't matter now we've got to get him to the shrine pronto before he's detected." Making a grab for the half-demon's hand, Souta began to pull him along following the markers he left behind incase he and Shippo got lost on their expedition.

Inuyasha pulled his hand free, what in the world was going on here? His mind shouted. Were these two insane, what in the seven hells were they talking about? He's never heard of such things, Over Lords and barriers, and some crap about not being able to have demon made blades. What was going on!? Shaking his head he glared down at the two, still not as fierce as normal. Folding his arms over his chest he demanded. "Who is this Over Lord?" He questioned, deciding to do this one thought at a time.

Both of them looked at him as though he had lost it, and who would blame the two? Not one single person alive went through their whole life without once hearing about the Over lord, the man said to have risen from the depth's of hell and to be the devil himself. A man whom ruled the lands of Japan like a tyrant out for blood, and lust of power. A man whom even the demons feared.

After a few more moments of staring at the inu-hanyou strangely, Souta decided he must have hit his head or something of the like to not already know this information. This was the type of stuff they ingrained into your brain the moment you started school, and even if you didn't there were holograms of the devil created by the holly order in the streets informing you of this. "You must have hit your head hard huh?" Inuyasha just nodded absentmindedly while he was focused on hearing the words that have yet to come from the boy's mouth telling him what was going on. "Well there was a war in this very spot a couple hundred years ago, it was against this man who wanted some of the eastern lands as his own. Both youkai and nigen fought in this war alike despite their fear or hatred for one another. Both races wanted to fight for their homelands, and the demon lord who protected the lands and those who live in it despite them being human."

Inuyasha's eyes widened when the kid mentioned how long ago this war was fought, nearly missing a step. He had to calm his racing heart; time travel was just not possible! Schooling his features and regaining his heart under control Inuyasha decided he must be dreaming and that all of this would go away as soon as he woke up. Yeah, I can work with this. That decided, he continued to listen to what the child was saying.

"... though he wasn't the one who started the war he just appeared out of nowhere and took over after the last battle that would complete the war." Souta explained. Again Inuyasha felt shocked, though he did not let it show, that was the exact battle he disappeared from. "No one knows how he was able to live so long, but he has." Shaking his head sadly he continued. "There isn't that many demons here, only a few as the majority didn't like the way he ran things, otherwise they live on the island of Hokkaido. It's the only place that doesn't have authority over because the demons managed to keep it from him. The demons can't get in here because of the barrier that my ane-ue keeps up, it makes it so outsiders cannot pass without the Over Lords permission."

They walked in silence for a while as Inuyasha pondered things, dodging a few upturned tree roots, his eyes watching the footing of his young companion should he fall. So in this weird dream world of his they lost the war resulting in this evil over lord guy taking over all of Japan except a small bit that the youkai managed to keep. A human for that matter, managed to rule over demons while keeping alive for a few hundred years without someone taking him down and relieving him of his rule. Sparing the boy next to him a sideways glance he said. "So this human guy managed to stay alive a couple hundred years, keep his land and fend off demons." He scoffed. Now he knew this had to be a dream, there wasn't a human alive that could stand against every demon or even nearly every demon in Japan and make it out alive. So since this was a dream he decided that he would go along with everything until he awoke. "How's this even possible." He muttered, but apparently the kid heard him.

"I'm not entirely sure, my ane-ue told me and Shippo how it was done, but..." he scratched the back of his head trying to think of the best way into putting his thoughts into words. "Well, I can't quite remember what she said all I know is that it was really confusing." Souta grinned when the steps that lead up to the shrine came into view. "Come on, we're almost there, but when we do get there you have to make sure and not let my sister see you." He explained, slowing his pace up the steps as he tried to think of just where he was going to hide his hanyou friend that his sister never went.

"Why?" He questioned curiously.

"Because Souta's afraid he'll get in trouble if Haha-ue finds you." Shippo explained with a haughty glance in Souta's direction. The human boy only replied with the rolling of his eyes skyward as he grabbed hold of the hanyou's hand, pulling him behind some bushes situated in the right corner of the shrine near the steps. From this point one could see clearly nearly the whole expanse of the shrine.

Pointing toward the building in front of him, he said. "That's the storage shed and the one next to it is the place where my ane-ue keeps this jewel, it's suppose to be what keeps the barrier going. Never go in there, though, it has a barrier around it that repels all demons except for Shippo." After a moments thought he said. "If you promise not to take the jewel I could make it so it won't repel you too." He then continued on with explaining the whereabouts of things one the shrine grounds, starting with point towards the left a little in the center of the whole compound. "That is the house, if you ever need to talk to me climb up the tree next to the widow at the back of the house and wait for me there, but if my sister should enter the room hide in the closet okay." Once Inuyasha gave a slight nod of the head he continued on. "On either side of the house are two mini shrines, the one to the back is were you'll stay, ane-ue never goes there so it would be safe alright. The other shrine it doesn't matter if you go there or not, just be sure not to let my sister see you okay."

"What's the matter with him?" Inuyasha questioned, shrugging in the direction of the hopping kitsune. Souta also rose a brow.

Noticing the talking had stopped and all eyes were on him, Shippo paused in his jumped and excited smile on his face eyes twinkling. "Are you done talking now?" Souta nodded slowly, curious to the kits behavior. Nearly squealing with delight, he said. "Then we've got to hurry before she starts, it's already noon-day!" Quickly grabbing Souta's hand he began pulling him from the bushes, just as Souta grabbed Inuyasha forcing him to fallow them towards the structure next to the storage shed across the open courtyard.

Confused, the hanyou inquired. "What's going on?"

With a wide grin Souta replied. "My sister's going to perform the ceremony soon, we need to hurry or we'll miss it." Pausing a moment, he pointed towards a window at the front of the building. "You can watch through there, I'll open the window so that you can hear what's going on, but be sure not to get caught okay."

Inuyasha watched as both boys' ran towards the entrance, walking to the window he peeked through finding a girl standing in the middle of the room back turned. Jumping back when the window flew open, Inuyasha crept back toward it once he got over his scare and settled himself down to watch.

~*~

With a deep breath she entered the western shrine, the one that held the jewel of Shikon within it's hallowed walls. It was her duty since the time of her mother's death to perform the ceremony the strengthened the barrier for the day, as well as weakened the demons that live within the Over Lords province. She shuttered as she thought about the man, a man of whom the world has never seen. Not even those who work for him have laid eyes upon his form.

Placing the thoughts of the over lord from her mind, Kagome walked forward, before turning around at the sound of excited laughter. Her eyes lit up as she saw her younger brother Souta and adoptive son, Shippo. She had been taking care of Souta since the day their mother had fallen ill, and Shippo since the day both of his parents were killed from demons that somehow made it pass the barriers. It was then that she understood how important her job was to the people, and not just to the Over Lord himself. She often wondered what would be more beneficial, the end of the devil's rule, or the well being of the people? So far it seemed she continued to choose the people for how many times she has kept the barrier standing strong.

Kneeling down before them, she gave them both a warm smile and gentle hug. "Where have you two been, I was looking for you a bit ago." She frowned, her gray-blue eyes holding to them a saddened cast. "I had thought for a while there you both were found, next time..." She took in a deep breath to calm down her emotions. They really had her terrified with this thought, normally they would leave a note as to their whereabouts and how long they thought themselves to be gone for. "Next time you leave the shrine grounds be sure to tell me, alright?" They nodded, and she smiled but it did not reach her eyes. "Good, I was scared." The last part was whispered and unheeded by Souta's ears and nearly went unheard by the Kitsune's, but certain golden eyed inu-hanyou heard them quite well.

He was intrigued by the girl, she was quite pretty... he shook his head. He couldn't think those type of thoughts. One: he was a hanyou so there was no way she would see him as anything but dirt, and would most likely be disgusted by his mere presence. Two: The girl wasn't real, she was something created by his mind as she was to perfect not to be and he was surely dreaming all of this. It was just too strange for any part of it to be real. Maybe, though, since this is a dream, maybe she wouldn't be repulsed by him. No, Inuyasha shook his head; this way of thinking was beginning to make him sound pathetic and lonely of the heart. Two things he was most definitely not. Pushing the thoughts from his mind he began to watch them once again.

"Shesh, you worry to much Kagome." Souta replied nonchalantly. "We were perfectly fine, besides Shippo could have changed us both to look like trees or something if there was really any dangers around."

Kagome sent him a look of doubt, but shrugged it off. She really didn't want get into an argument with her little brother, as well as didn't want Shippo to think she had any doubt in his magic skills. Standing from her crouched position, she pointed to the furthest wall near the door. "If you're both going to watch while I perform then I need you stay over there." They both nodded eagerly, rushing to do her biding, the sat against the wall eyes on her excitedly.

With a small smile she walked once again to the middle of the room. Before her was a crescent shaped table, and upon it were twenty candles, each lit and each approximately a couple of inches away from the other. Hanging between each candle, from the ceiling, were brass dishes, the same in number the same inches apart. Grabbing one of the incense at the end of the table between her thumb and forefinger, she moved it over the first lit candle, and then placed it in the dish all the while singing her chant.

Fours Souls,

Purity of heart,

Ancient times

Will arise

White light, bringer of demise

Taking another incense in hand she began to repeat the process, her voice humming a melodramatic tone as her lips moved to form the words every four measured beats. Smoke streamed from the dishes to towards the ceilings above coming to rest around her, giving the girl an almost enthrall look while her movements seemed almost dream-like to all watching. Golden eyes gazed on unable to look away, what was she doing? He would have to question those boys about it. Her movements slowed a bit as did the tempo of her voice, seeming almost lethargic. Taking the last incense in hand, her words changed tone becoming almost melancholy, as she moved the stick over each candle before placing it within a dish before the jewel.

Will of iron,

Heart of glass

The stark moon shines

Let none pass

And let all digress

Coming to kneel before the Shikon, a tiny menace that has been in her family for generations upon generations, Kagome took in a deep breath exhaling slowly. All thought escaped her as she repeated the words from beginning to end in song once more, hands coming to rest erect over the pinkish-purple jewel. Letting her eyes slide shut she spoke one word no louder then above a muted whisper.

"Begin."

An almost blinding light enveloped the room shooting upwards from the Shikon no Tama, though Kagome seemed not be bother by it. The two within the room seemed not effected as they were used to this part of the ritual by now, but not wanting to miss a moment of this phenomenon Inuyasha was forced to squint his golden eyes, shadowing them with a single clawed hand. Watching as the light form a circle around her no longer so bright, Inuyasha could only gape at the image she put forth, so different from what he had witnessed only mere moments ago. Opposed to then, she now seemed distant almost untouchable as her glossy raven locks blew gently in a wind no one besides herself could feel along with the sleeves of her kimono, skin aglow in the light. She looked like a fierce warrior, something akin to himself during battle. It gave him chills as he wondered silently how she could be the same girl as before.

Inuyasha had to force his eyes skyward away from the priestess when the light shot from her through the roof. He was stunned when the said pinkish glow hit something, that would otherwise have been invisible to the eye, causing it to spread that glow over the whole sky making it illuminate a few moments before simply vanishing away leaving no traces to prove it was even there. Bringing golden orbs back towards the raven-haired miko with in he observed silently as the girl removed her hands from over the now pale color thing, bright smile in place. He had to blink a couple of times at the transformation in her appearance. She looked like she had before the ceremony began.

Kagome stared at the Shikon a moment before taking the metal cap and snuffing out all the flames dancing above the wax candle sticks, while deciding to let the incense burn themselves away since they were already nearly there. Her brothers remained silent in the background as she finished with the endings of the ceremony. Once finished, she turned to face them, regarding Shippo curiously as she prepared to ask him the same question as always.

Jumping to his feet quickly, the kitsune leapt into her arms knowing that she would catch him as always, looking into her gray-blue eyes with his innocent brown ones. "Don't worry Haha-ue, I don't feel the lest bit weakened. I think that your charm is still working fine." He answered gently patting her cheek reassuringly once he noticed the look of worry within her every expressive eyes. She could never hide anything from anyone; her eyes always betrayed her thoughts and feelings.

She pats the kit on the head, smiling at him as she made her ways towards her oddly quite brother against the wall. "That's good to hear, Shippo, I'm glad." She remembered when he was younger, before she had created the protective charm, Shippo would always complain about his insides hurting him after she preformed the ceremony. It took her a few months to figure out what it was, after all her adoptive kitsune son was the first and only demon she had ever encountered that had not been trying to kill her. Throwing Souta an inquisitive look, she went on to inquire about his odd behavior. Normally he was grinning like a maniac, discussing with Shippo the different parts of the ceremony. Right now he looked thoughtful, and albeit a bit nervous. "Souta is something wrong, you look as if something is bothering you."

Souta snapped from his thoughts, blinking a few times he smiled brightly at her. "No... Nothings wrong, I was just think about..." He trailed, frowning slightly eyebrows furrowed. Just as he was about to voice his question, Kagome fell to her knees breathing heavily. "Kagome!" They both cried at once, the golden eyes peering at them suddenly widened in concern but moved not an inch from his spot to offer up his help. Just because the two help him out doesn't mean that she would, maybe in his dream world children did not find half-breads disgusting, but that did not mean this girl did not as well. It would be very much like his luck for her not to feel the same, and then kick him out leaving him on his own. Like it mattered, but things would be a lot easier to figure out with a place to stay and food; not that he couldn't find both himself. It would just give him one less thing to worry about.

Kagome sat Japanese style, holding Shippo in her lap patting his head reassuringly, while both he and Souta shot her worried glances. "Don't worry about me, I just used up more energy then necessary this time around." She assured. "I just need a little bit of rest and I'll be fine, alright." Setting the little kit down she patted his head, and then her brother's before leaving towards the house. "Don't leave the shrine grounds today." She called over her shouldered sternly. Something was not right while she preformed the ceremony. Kagome could have sworn she felt demons trying to penetrate the barrier, but they had just disappeared after she let a bit more power flow through. She knew at lest two of them were purified, but what of the others... did they make it through? "I'll just take a quick nap, and then try sensing those demons again." She muttered to herself quietly, but not enough so that the golden eyes that watched her retreating back couldn't hear.

His heart nearly stopped, did she mean him? Before he forced it to calm, she had said demons, not demon nor half-demon. She was trying to find more then one. Inuyasha would have to be carefull from now on, if she could really sense the demon aura. He was glad for that fact that his mother had taught him a few spells, one being to desguise his aura from other demons, mikos and Taijiya.

Snapping his attention from his thought's he placed it onto the approaching figures of the two whom insisted on hiding him here, or really it was the human boy whom had insisted upon it. He really hated being indebted to those who were weaker them him. Just as he was about to ask a question, one that went along the lines of, "just what was that?" The kid seemed to already beat him to it.

"That was the ceremony that my sister performs every other afternoon to strengthen the barrier as well as weaken the demons already living within the Over Lords territory." Souta crossed his arms leaning back against the side of the Shikon no Tama's shrine, while Shippo nodded to everything he said. "It's really neat to watch, and my sister has a really pretty voice, but I don't like it and neither does Shippo. It always makes him feel strange after words, and if it weren't for the charm my sister made for him he would be affected like every other demon living here. My sister doesn't like to do it either, but she has too..." He paused deciding it best not to continue with the subject. "Did you feel any pain, or perhaps as if your powers were being drained from you?" He inquired.

Inuyasha shrugged. "I didn't feel anything." Or it could be that he was placed under a trance as she preformed, that he wouldn't have notice any such feelings. He would have to see about one of those charms for himself. He refused to be weakened because some over lord was afraid to have his power taken away by someone stronger. It was obvious to the hanyou that this guy held not a shred of honor.

"Maybe it's because your part human, or it could even be that you have a demon made blade." Souta thought a moment, before grinning madly. "That could by why the Over Lord forbids any weapons being enchanted, or being demon made."

Shippo began walking from the conversing two, before stopping and turning around. "I'm going to check on Haha-ue and make sure she is okay. Get me if anything interesting happens, alright Souta?"

"Sure thing Shippo." Grinning Shippo took off like quicksilver towards the house, leaving the hanyou and human child to watch as he gradually got smaller and then disappeared into the house.

After a moment, Inuyasha broke the silence. "If your human and your sister is human why is it the runt refers to her as haha-ue?" He had been wondering about that sometime now, at first he thought that the human kid and she might only be half- siblings but the kit smelled of a full demon and her sister a full human ruling out his assumption.

"Oh, before... um well about five years ago some demons called the Thunder Brothers, managed to get through the barrier and managed kill a family a kitsune living out in the forest, well all except for Shippo. My ane-ue managed to get there before he was killed as well and took down the brothers, purifying them both." Inuyasha's eyes widened at that, he had heard of the Thunder Brother's, whom were know to be masterful assassins. He couldn't help but wonder who exactly the kit's family was, as they do not just kill anyone. "After that Kagome adopted Shippo as her own, I think he was only a couple months old at the time."

"He was lucky then." Inuyasha commented lightly. "I've heard of the Thunder Brother's before. There assassins and usually don't leave anyone alive, if they happened to be around. Frankly I'm surprised your sister managed to kill them herself, even if she does have her purifying powers, Hiten and Maten were known to have outlived an attack of three of the strongest miko and taijiya unscathed."

Inuyasha had to force himself not to grin at the pride and amazement shinning within his chocolate brown depths. "Wow." He breathed. "I've always known ane-ue was strong, but I didn't know she was that strong." Pushing himself from the wall he blinked a couple of times. "Hey you're remembering some things."

Narrowing his eyes in confusion, he asked. "What?" Before comprehension dawned upon him. In their earlier conversation, when he had first ran into the human boy he had agreed to having a head injury as an excuse to not remembering anything of what they were speaking of. "Oh, um, ya I'm beginning to remember a little bit."

"That's good, pretty soon you'll have all of them back." He paused a moment. "I wonder why you were in the forest with a demon blade in the first place." Shrugging it off, Souta ushered him towards the shrine on the furthest from the steps, on the other side of the shrine house. Pushing open the door slightly, and peering inside like there man have been an enemy inside. Nodding once, he pushed it open a little further so that his companion would see. It was basically empty except the urine at the furthest end of the one room building, upon a small table with a blue kneeling cushion before it. To either side of that were a few boxes and nothing more. Souta made no move to enter. No one has stepped foot into this part of the shrine in years, right before his mother's death. "You can stay here, but don't touch any of the boxes, there should be some drawers in the back wall with blankets and pillows in it and I think there might be a futon under the boxes over there to the right."

Souta watched as the hanyou walked in slowly, albeit a bit hesitantly. Giving him a curious look he turned on a heel. "I'll bring in some food after I check on my ane-ue." He fell silent, just standing still back facing Inuyasha as he gazed out upon the cloudless sky. "I'm worried about her..." With a sigh, he replied almost too quietly for the hanyou to pick up. "That's never happened before... and I know that she's lying, I can always tell by her eyes." With that the human boy left to the house, leaving Inuyasha to thoughts of his own.

~*~

The wind blew gently across the meadow causing the grass to part and dance within its teasing caresses. A feral grin came to his face, carnivorous teeth over lapping his bottom lips. With a deep breath he headed down the path his sense has shown to him, not sparring a glance to see if his companion followed him or not. His steps were wide and even with his long purple leather skin legs, causing his cotton ball look-a-like of a companion to take gigantic leaps in order to close the distance between them. With one mighty jump the cotton ball found himself upon the gigantic purple reptilian's shoulder.

"Are you sure this is the right way?" It asked with a tiny squeaking voice that caused the reptile to cringe as it was spoken right next to his ear. It felt like nails on a chalk board.

With a grunt he nodded.

The cotton ball was hopping for more then that, so settled on asking another question. He hated the silence, and his conscience was slowly eating away at him. "Are you sure that this is right? If I remember correctly the family is run by a sixteen year old girl, I'm feeling a bit guilty over what we're about to do." The cotton ball demon admitted.

With a long grunting sigh, the reptile nodded and surprisingly spoke. "Oi feel the same." Giving the same admittance with his heavy accent, his shoulders slouching a bit causing the cotton ball to hold on for balance. "But if ye think about it, 'he is 'elping out the Devil's Rule, so maybe 'he isn't as innocent as 'er age suggests, ne?"

"Aye." With that they both head towards their target trying to strengthen their resolves in this.
