Dude now I'm confused! I always thought I had this chapter written down already, yet when I looked and couldn't find it in my files I was like "omg where is it!" … Oh well it wouldn't surprise me if I did type it all up and then loose it, I have a tendency for doing that!
Chapter 30 I think: Awakening to the truth
Shi's eyes slowly opened to see white all around her, the feeling seemed to hurt her on the inside but she simply ignored it. She sat up and suddenly noticed the presence of three light demons in front of her, one girl about her age in the middle a male on her left and Topai on the right.
"About time." Said the girl with a blank yet knowing look on her. "What the… Topai?" His look was blank towards her. "What's going on who are you?" Her voice was firm now as the memories from before returned to her mind.
"That's Iiro." She pointed to the man on her left, "you know Topai, and I'm Leleel." Her eyes widened noticeably. "Leleel, the Leleel that's related to me?"
"Hai, that is who I am." Her look was serene and held a deviant look to it at the same time. "How? What are you doing?" Pain filled her and she grimaced before she could catch herself. Leleel watched her with keen eyes then looked at both light demons next to her.
"Leave us, and dim the lights down to almost nothing." She instructed. "Ma'am, are you sure?" Iiro asked in his unfeeling voice; it reminded Shi of Hiei's. "Hai, now go do it." Both nodded and left threw a closed door and almost instantly the bright lights that illuminated every corned of the room started going down until everything was almost completely dark.
Only two sets of blue eyes could be visibly seen, the black clothing that Shi wore melded with the darkness as Lelee's white ones clashed with it and fought to be seen threw it.
"Better?"
"Much." Shi sat up on the hard bed she rested on, her eyes rarely blinked and never moved from her family member that she knew so little about. "Are you going to tell me who exactly you are?" Shi asked.
"I'm not going to be the one who explains everything unless formally asked." Leleel said with a sense of venom dripping from every word. "Okay, Leleel where are we now?"
"We're still in the Ningenkai, but we're now in a different and more… familiar place."
"Why are you being so cooperative, aren't the evil people supposed to be secretive with everything?" A smirk passed the light demon's face but soon fell, "I am trying to make a… premonition I guess you could call it come true, but I have no direction as to how to make it come forth, so I must take every open opportunity."
"Isn't that being a little reckless on your part?"
"No, no it's being strategic in a different manor." Shi finally looked at the ground for a second then back at the woman before her, "well maybe I could help I guess, what wa-."
"No! No it wouldn't be right if I did, I wouldn't be able to figure out the true meaning of it if I did that." Shi gazed into Leleel's blue eyes that so much resembled her own, she saw the passion and determination in them, "how are you related to me?"
The light demon's eyes became serious with the shadow demon before her. By telling her of such information it could dramatically change the playing field in which they rested on at the present time.
Shi was a compassionate person that could easily be said, so it would also help her in the long run if what she thought came to pass.
"I'm you're sister, Alli your twin sister." The shadow demon moved quickly away. "You're lying, I only have one sister a-."
"Ame, I know. But you know not of the full story." Leleel said. Shi was obviously still in shock, "what are you talking about." Leleel sighed quietly, "what I speak is the truth, I was born two minutes before you as a shadow demon, merely a week after birth the light demon's kidnapped me and gave me the Changing Decisions into what you see and feel today." She explained.
"Like our father I gained his gift of foresight and his strategic mind while you simply picked up his stubbornness, the rest you took from that ningen."
"This, this can't… you're lying." Shi said hesitantly. "You have no idea how much I wish I was. It's a lot of pressure being related to the forbidden," Before she could protest her mind registered Leleel's words in her mind.
"Wait… Hiei's the Forbidden not me."
"True, but so are you, and once me before I had this done. We were born shadow demons from a light demon and a human, how that was possible no one is sure, you are a forbidden my sister."
Shi's hands came up to her head, everything was pouring into her way to quickly for her mind to understand all of it at one time. "Why are you here now then?" She finally asked.
Leleel breathed out and came closer to her sister gently placing a hand on Shi's cheek. "I am here to give you the Changing Decisions even though father would not allow it, something about not wanting the power to change."
The memory of when Ame had come to the temple and told Shi that their father had been killed played threw her mind. It had not been that he would not 'give them' the power, it was that he didn't want to 'change' it.
"Or I can simply leave you here until you beg to be killed, either way death is in your future whether you want and plead for it or you are experiencing it." A chill went up Shi's spine from the haunting echo her voice affected upon her.
"The Changing Decisions… is it really that bad?" Shi inquired, Leleel drew back from her. "You have no idea, there are not words to completely describe it." She simply explained.
Her body turned slightly, "come, I want you to follow me." She stood up and followed as commanded but confused all the way.
They went from the room out into a heavily lit room where Iiro joined Leleel on her other side. "Where are we going?"
"You will see." She stopped at another door and turned to Iiro, "you two are to stay here, keep a lock on the others and make sure they don't know where we are." She looked away with her mouth slightly agape as if she would give them another command but then shook her head and looked back into his green eyes.
Iiro just nodded and let the two twins pass threw the door into the sunlight that was soon changing to evening. Shi's Henki's appeared beside the shadow demon and flew around her body as if inspecting her, she simply smiled in delight and watched them.
"Call them as your wings, we need to fly to our destination." Shi looked at her and then out across where they were standing on the balcony that overlooked a city built near the beach; she instantly recognized it.
"Our hometown?"
"I told you it was different yet familiar, come on." As if on instinct two white Henki's with red eyes came from no where to Leleel and merged with her body forming into her pure white wings.
Shi simply nodded and called her four Henki's to her, they disappeared and reappeared as the black and white wings that had been on her the night she had been taken to Topai.
They flew from the balcony, she felt free in the sky so vast, like nothing could detain her from anything she wanted. "Where are we going?" She asked loudly to Leleel.
"You'll see, just keep following." She gazed down to the streets to see the people and cars that looked so tiny to her. "Won't we be seen?"
"I don't care if we are, they can do nothing against us anyhow." That's when Shi shut herself up and let her Henki's follow Leleel's own across the city with quick speed and soon desend down upon a row of apartment buildings all completely the same.
Leleel landed next to her looking at her pale skinned sister. "Why are we here?" She asked. "Just look." Her blue eyes flicked to the inside of the apartment building to find Ame setting plates on their dining room table; three plates.
"Why three plates?" Leleel didn't answer just kept her look threw the window. Her mother came in and set a platter on the table, but a man followed after her.
"Who…?"
"That is Akira-tempai, Mother's new boyfriend." 1 She finally explained. "Time has made it that they have simply forgotten our father, forgotten us, and forgotten what they went through. We as demons take a mate one and out lives are sealed to them unlike these humans who barely care what happens."
Hatred filled her sisters voice completely. "I have brought you here now to see what time has done to us, what it has always done to us. We forget one thing just to have it repelled back at us twice as hard… it's disgusting how these soulless ningen's take everything they have for granted."
"Although humans have traits that demons do not." Leleel looked at her in a half glare, "as in?"
"As in their emotions, they are able to keep to themselves about things were as many demons can't, and their strategic minds, they are able to plan ahead of things in quick time while some demons are heavily prone to making fatal mistakes."
"What does that have to do with anything, you side with the humans do you?"
"No, and I don't side with demons, they all have their strengths and weaknesses." Leleel looked blankly at her. "You may be my twin but you think completely different then I do."
"Light and dark complete opposites what did you expect?"
"We'll see that happens when you're a light demon, then we'll compare and contrast." She took off again into the sku, Shi watched for a minute before following up after her.

"Shi's no where in the city Hiei." Kurama stated looked over at his tense fire demon. "I know that fox." Hiei said firmly. "We should call Yusuke and Kuwabara then go to Koenma's."
"I won't go to that toddler whe-."
"Hiei he has more resources to help then we would be able to get, unless you're willing to let time pass when those light demon's could already done things to Shi." Hiei glared hard at the kitsune taking what he said into consideration; although he knew there was no other way around it.
"Fine, call them." He continued his slow pacing thinking about what had happened over and over again. "Hiei stop pacing you're going to wear down the floor again if you keep that up." Another flare came his way but he went to sit on the window-sill.
"Yusuke?" Kurama asked over the phone. "Yes, listen Shi's been taken but the light demons." He explained, there was a short silence as Yusuke talked. "Yes I'm serious, I need you to call Kuwabara and meet us at Koenma's."
Another silence, "alright bye." Kurama's emerald eyes went to Hiei. "Okay he said they'd beet us there let's go." Hiei nodded and followed Kurama towards the front door.
-
"Koenma!" Yusuke screamed kicking open the door that led to the Rekai ruler's office. "Good you came!" Koenma said from behind his desk, "I was just about to call you." He said.
"We got a- wait why?" Yusuke stopped mid-sentence and asked. "We received the latest vision."
"Vision?" Kurama questioned.
"Hai, every once and awhile premonitions that the shadow and light demon's see somehow come to us and we got the latest one not to long ago." The toddler explained.
"Well what does that have to do with us?" Kuwabara as well as the others looked questioningly at him. "Well it involves Shi."
"What was it?" Hiei blankly asked, his crimson eyes focused on the ruler.
"Leleel is going to kill Shi."
A/N: So things are starting to come together and things are starting to open up… will anything ever completely be answered knowing me probably not! I'm trying to think of a good ending to this story that will make people be either like "hm that was REALLLLYYY cool." Or confuse them and then in the middle of the night they'll be like "OMG I FIGURED IT OUT!" Then I can go on with a sequel if people want one, but other then that I don't see a ending to this story coming soon!
