Author's note: mamono in Japanese translation of devil or demon, hence mamono hunter is devil or demon hunter.

Angela and John drove towards the cemetery, the catholic cemetery, where Isabelle was buried. On consecrated ground, Isabelle's remains were placed in their family's mausoleum. She was not given a catholic burial but Angela managed to get her into the mausoleum. She wouldn't let her be separated ever again.

"Where did you put it?" John asked

"I thought this was part of those rules, have to be hidden always from you and everyone else"

"Not if someone's going to steal it!"

"It's with Isabelle"

"You buried it with your sister?"

"I didn't bury it with her. It's in the mausoleum, on consecrated ground. I thought it would be safe there"

"Consecrated ground, good one, but for people like you and me, we can walk all over it and do a little dance. Do you know how many people would be digging up your sister if they knew where it was?"

The moon's rays covered the cemetery. There was something eerie in the air. Angela and John ran into the cemetery searching for the mausoleum. A willowy figure followed them from the trees. Meanwhile other creatures of the night lingered around the gates of the cemetery.

"This way!" Angela yelled as she ran to her family's site.

John carrying his Holy shotgun followed her. Angela ran to the door and tried to open it.

"It's locked" Angela said as she tried to find another way in, "they have keys inside the church"

"I've got the master key right here" John aimed the shotgun, but Angela stepped in front of him

"What?"

"I am not going to let you desecrate my family's burial ground!"

"By the time you go and get the key and come back she'll be long gone with the spear, and she won't be so thoughtful to use a key"

"John!"

"I'll replace it ok? We really don't have time to debate this"

"Try not to damage it too much" Angela said as she stepped out of the wayJohn shot open the door with the shotgun, and through the smoke they walked inside. The smell of death and stale air entered their lungs. Angela made her way over to her twin's slab. Underneath the stone slab lay her sister in eternal slumber. She touched the stone slab and traced something on it.

"It's inside?" John asked

"Yes, I put it inside when I buried her. My parents refused to come."

"Is she, is she-" John asked

"I had the coffin placed inside this. You won't see her."

"Alright. I guess we should move this then"

John put the shotgun down and with Angela they started to push the stone slab. It wasn't budging much.

"Out of all the places you could have hid it" John said as he was pushing

"You know what they say, it wouldn't be fun if it was easy"

"Oh right, but do we have to have this much fun?"

They pushed harder and only managed to move it a few inches, enough for a hand to reach inside.

Suddenly there was a huge gust of wind knocking the both of them back against the wall hard. A female figure emerged.

"You led me right to it" she said

"Bitch!" John yelled out as he tried to get up

"Typical of you Constantine. Looks like you weren't man enough to do this simple task either" she extended her arm out and the slab flew off and smashed into smaller pieces. She floated over and reached in. She took out the spear wrapped in black burlap. She saw the light reflect off the spear into her eyes. She placed it inside her kimono. She felt a power come over her.

Angela charged her and pushed her onto the ground. John picked up his shot gun and ran over to help, but stopped for a moment to watch.

"I will kill you for destroying my sister's resting place!" Angela's hands reached around her neck

"Now I'm mad" her eyes glowed and turned black. There was a force coming out from the ground. It threw Angela up against the ceiling and threw her onto her sister's coffin. The slab on the ground floated up along with the rest of the smaller pieces. They placed themselves back onto the burial site as if it was never broken. Angela screamed out in fear, pounding her fists on the cold block.

"Get me out of here!"

"Was that really necessary?" John asked

"Is any of this necessary? You better go save her. I think all this quality time with her twin is too much for her to bear"

"So you didn't know?"

"No, for a psychic her mind is far too cluttered. You better hurry, she might run out of air"

"This isn't over"

"It never is"

John turned to try to push the slab off. He aimed his shotgun at the slab, as the woman floated out.

"Angela! You gotta go to the left!"

"My left or yours?"

"Mine! Cover your ears and don't look!"

John pulled the trigger and broke the stone slab.

"John! Get me out of here!" Angela reached her hand out to reach his.

He pulled her out, and they embraced for only a short moment.

"You ok?" John asked

"Not really. We have to get the spear back and then I'm going to kill her myself!"

Outside the women floated past the gates of the cemetery only to have a demon attack her. A large, full fledged demon, attacked her. He knocked the wind out of her and tossed her around like a rag doll. She got up and looked at the demon. She threw an ofuda at it, it paralyzed the demon for a moment and then it fell off.

"Your parlor tricks no longer work!"the demon hissed

"Mamono! Be gone!" she reached under her kimono and took out her sword.

The demon laughed as nothing happened.

"It is true, you have no powers!"

"Guess again" another voice said from behind, it was Midnight

The witch doctor threw out some bones around the demon and began chanting something. The woman threw out several more ofudas and also began chanting. The demon cried out in pain.

"You are marked!" And with those last words the demon exploded.

Midnight looked up and saw the woman collapse. Gasping for air she looked over at Midnight who lifted her up a little. Angela and John came running and saw Midnight with her.

"What the hell?' John said in disbelief

"A demon, out in the open attacked her here" Midnight said

"Why didn't she do her thing, you know, demon be gone?" John mimicked

"I can't die…not yet" the woman said as she passed out.

"And you won't" Midnight said as he lifted her up

"What are you doing?" John asked

"Taking her back" Midnight answered

"She has the spear" Angela said

"She obviously didn't use it" Midnight said as he carried her off

Inside Midnight's club, Midnight placed the women on a table. He had carried her into the inner room filled with several relics. Angela and John were in Midnight's office waiting.

"What is he doing in there?" Angela asked as she paced around the room

"He's going to try to heal her"

"What for?"

"It's what he does. He swore the oath of neutrality. Just let him do his thing"

"Who is he?"

"He's Midnight. We used to travel the same circles, he was a witch doctor of sorts. Very powerful." John reached and touched his chest to remember what he did to his lungs before.

Midnight healed her and she slowly returned to consciousness. He reached and touched her forehead.

"You are different" Midnight said

"I am still a mamono hunter"

"Your powers, you were unable to vanquish that demon"

"Midnight you must swear to me never to repeat what I'm about to say. Swear it"

"You have my word. I am trying to help you"

"I have lost my powers. I lost them a while ago actually. But I've covered it up quite well, that is until recently"

"The charms and amulets were weighing you down. I could sense you were hiding something"

"I have no way of fighting evil anymore. I have no protection. I have no meaning or purpose"

"This is why you seek the spear"

"No, I seek the spear for other reasons"

"What are they?"

"Who is she John? She obviously doesn't like you, but who is she?" Angela asked

"I told you, she's a demon hunter" John answered

"You keep saying she's so powerful, but she was about to be killed by some demon"

"Yeah I didn't get that part either."

"I must go Midnight, I must go before the next full moon"

"You know they won't let you leave with the spear" Midnight answered

"Constantine took something from me that didn't belong to him. I'm just returning the favor. I like you am trying to restore things to the way they were"

"John, who is she to you?" Angela asked

"No one, just a ghost" John answered as he took out a stick of gum

"Does the ghost have a name?"

"Rei"
