"As long as I can watch her carefully, you never know which demon is a good demon in that family." Uncle stated, watching as Jade smiled happily and left the shop, fast.
Once Jade got outside, she stopped and looked around. She didn't know where to start looking for Anasani, and even if she did, would the demon let her bring her to the antique shop? Besides that, Jade didn't even know her sister's name.
Jade sighed, loudly, and shoved her hands in her pockets. She started walking down the street glancing places to try and find her demon sister.
Suddenly, she got a tingling sensation in her mind and raised her hands to head as if she was in pain.
"What's going on?" She whispered to herself and she looked around.
Jade spotted an old abandoned factory and the tingling got worse as she looked at it.
'That building is trying to make me go toward it, I guess.' Jade thought and she started for it, slowly.
Once she reached it, Jade opened the door and walked in. It was really dark inside and it looked rundown.
Jade looked around and found one of the main offices in the building. She walked in and found a familiar small black dragon curled up in one of the chairs. She looked to be asleep and looked pretty peaceful.
Jade snuck up beside the demon and her trademark sneaky grin appeared on her face. Jade grabbed the dragon's tail and pulled.
Anasani's head popped up and she screeched, loudly, making Jade drop her tail and fall to her knees.
Anasani looked at the girl and tilted her head to the side. She didn't expect to see Jade this soon.
"So you decided to seek me out?" Anasani asked and Jade got to her feet and nodded.
"Uncle told me the truth and I wanted to know if you would come to the shop so I can talk to you." Jade said, Anasani stretched and got up from the chair.
"I guess I could, but I'd have to go at night. The cover of darkness." The dragon replied and Jade nodded.
"I never got to know your name." Jade said and Anasani looked down.
"Anasani, demon of the volcano." The demon replied, bowing and Jade giggled. "What?"
"You didn't have to bow, you know." Jade said, smirking.
"Well, how about I do this?" Anasani said, and she pounced on the girl.
The two rolled around on the floor a bit, Anasani tickling Jade, making the girl giggle and try to get Anasani's claws away from her belly.
Jade finally succeeded in getting the claws away from her belly and they stopped rolling around on the floor.
"What was my demon name again?" Jade asked and Anasani looked at her funny.
"Nekana. You are the demon of air." Anasani stated and Jade nodded.
"That would mean I have wings, right?" Jade asked and Anasani nodded once. "Cool!" That made Anasani laugh.
"Didn't think just the wings would get you to like it!" Anasani said and Jade laughed.
"Well, there is something else." Jade said and Anasani looked the girl in the eyes.
"What?" She asked the girl.
"A demon I like." Jade said, looking down, blushing like mad.
"A demon! Already! Who is it?" Anasani asked and Jade smiled softly.
"I'll tell you later. When we're at the shop." Jade stated and Anasani sighed.
"I guess I'll be seeing you then." Anasani said and Jade nodded.
"See ya!" Jade said and she got up and hugged the dragon out of the blue, shocking her.
Jade let go of Anasani and walked out, leaving the dragon a little puzzled.
The dragon went back to her chair and curled back up and went back to her little cat nap.
Jade got back to the shop, fast, not really realizing where she was really going, but she got there. Jade closed the door and leaned against it.
She smiled when she realized that she only had an hour till nightfall, when Anasani would come over.
Jade really wanted to get to know her sister, to find out about her true power and her real family.
Anasani was really easy to get along with once Jade realized who she really was.
Jade decided to go up to her room and think. She flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes.
She swiftly fell into dream and images began to form in her mind.
(((((dream sequence)))))
Jade sat near a beautiful pond staring into it. She looked at her body, noticing she felt different.
What she saw was dark purple rough skin, claws, a tail, and felt her wings move behind her when she gasped.
"I'm a demon?" Jade gasped and she heard the sound of wings flapping.
She looked up to see Hsi Wu landing beside her, smiling. Jade blushed as Hsi Wu looked over at her.
"What?" He asked, noticing how she was staring.
"Nothing. Just thinking." Jade said, relaxing a bit.
"Thinking about what?" He asked, sitting down beside her.
"Nothing inparticular." Jade said, returning her gaze to the lake.
Suddenly, the sky turned red and shouts were heard in the distance. Jade jumped up with Hsi Wu and they looked around.
Demon slayers came running over the hill toward them with demon running in front of them, from them.
Flaming arrows were flying toward the demons as they were being chased by the persistent hunters.
Anasani was in front of the demon, only she was flying, and an arrow went through her left wing, causing her to fall from the sky and get trampled by the other demons that were running.
"Anasani!" Jade gasped, loudly, clapping her claws to her face.
The hunters were getting closer and closer with each passing second and Jade was starting to see everything in slow motion, even the arrow that was heading towards her. But right before it hit. . .
(((((end dream sequence)))))
Jade sat up in her bed and gasped in a deep breath. She was doused in a cold sweat.
"How do demons stand the hunters?" Jade asked the air.
"Very carefully, kid." A voice said in the corner of the room and Jade looked to see Anasani hidden in the shadows. "Bad dream?"
"Yeah, real bad." Jade replied stretching a bit. "What time is it?"
"Around 10:00 at night. I came in around 8:30, though." Anasani replied and sat down on the bed.
"You actually woke up in time to come over?" Jade asked and Anasani snickered.
"Yeah, everyone has an inner clock that tells them what time to get up. Some people just don't want to." The dragon said and Jade sighed. "Which reminds me of something. What demon is that you have a crush on?"
"Um. . . Hsi Wu, the sky demon." Jade said in a low voice, but Anasani's super-sensitive hearing heard what she had said.
"Hsi Wu! He's the only decent one in the family! Shendu likes to try and grope me every chance he gets. Never tries to be a gentlemen, which would work!" Anasani said and Jade laughed.
"You like Shendu!" Jade snickered, loudly, at that.
"Only a little bit, but I'm getting over it." The dragon stated and Jade laughed harder.
"Yeah, right." Jade stated, as she snickered.
Anasani rolled her eyes and sighed. Her biggest secret had just been let out and her little sister was laughing at her because of it.
"Nekana! It's not a big deal!" Anasani said and Jade tried to stifle her giggles, finally, stopping, but still smiling.
"Oh really? Then why are you blushing like a maniac?" Jade asked and Anasani growled.
"Just get on with your questions, kid." Anasani said and Jade nodded.
"Okay, how do I use my powers?" Jade asked and the demon looked into her eyes.
"You have to want to use them." Anasani stated, plainly.
"Okay, how can I change to demon form?" Jade asked.
"You have to imagine your form and feel the demon powers rushing through you. Or you could get you uncle to reverse his spell, but that is unlikely." Anasani explained.
"I see, now, how do I get to see the rest of the family?" Jade asked.
"Now, that one will be a bit harder. Your uncle wouldn't want you to go." Anasani said. "But, to meet them, you'd have to go through a demon portal to get to the demon world. Then, I would take you to the mansion we live in."
"Oh, cool! You live in a mansion!" Jade said.
"Yeah, how else would a demon family live and not kill each other? We have to have our space from each other every once in a while." Anasani said and Jade smiled.
"Can I meet them?" Jade asked, getting excited.
"Yes, you can. First, you have to get some rest, Nekana. Good night." Anasani said, cheerfully.
"Good night, Anasani!" Jade said and she laid back down, getting under the covers.
Jade fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow and Anasani curled up on the floor, quickly falling alseep.
