Hannah groaned in her sleep.

My daughter, you must be strong! Don't give in to the darkness! A woman's voice said.

Hannah rolled to one side.

Rowen woke up. The air was freezing. He looked across the room to see Hannah tossing and turning in her bed. He got up and went to stand next to her.

The darkness wants you to give them your power.

"Stop." Hannah mumbled as she rolled close to the edge. Rowen grabbed her before she fell off. "Stop it."

"Hannah. Hannah, wake up." Rowen shook her slightly.

Your power is what stops them from taking over the Mortal Realm. Your union with the demon's son is what'll restore order.

"Hannah!" Hannah opened her eyes to Rowen's face. She sat up panting.

"What a nightmare." She wiped damp hair from her face.

"What happened this time? Anything new?" Rowen asked.

"Yeah, I heard this woman's voice. She called me her daughter." Rowen became interested. "But she didn't sound like my mom at all. She sounded…sweeter, more gentle."

"Must be your birth mother." Hannah looked at him. "Who else would call you daughter?"

"Good point." Hannah sighed. "Rowen, if I really am this baby you told the guys about—"

"They told you?" Hannah nodded. Rowen groaned and mumbled in his demon language.

"Did you see my mother?" Rowen looked at her questioningly. "Sage was on the phone with your sister one time and she heard me. Sage gave me the phone and she told me that you caught me as I was born."

'I'll kill Kilala for her sharp hearing.' Rowen thought. "I got a glimpse of her."

"Is it because I look like her? You hardly look at me in decent lighting." Hannah went to the door and turned on the lights. Rowen blinked and rubbed his eyes. Hannah sat on her bed with Rowen and cupped his face in her hands. Rowen looked at the wall above the head of the bed. "See my point?"

Rowen gently pushed Hannah's hands off his face. "Yeah, so what?" He got up and headed for his bed. "Let's just get some sleep. Turn out the lights."

Hannah quickly got up and in his path, making him stop. "Why do I get the feeling you feel guilty about her?"

"Can we discuss this in the morning? Before we wake someone up?" Rowen tried to get around her, but Hannah wouldn't let him go.

"No! I'm sick and tired of your attitude! I don't care if I wake Mia. I want answers now." Hannah then realized that her hands were on Rowen's bare chest. She quickly pulled away and took a step back. "Good night." She started for her bed.

Rowen took her upper arm and pulled her back in front of him. "You just now realized that? Your hands were there for about five minutes."

"Oh boy." Hannah blushed and turned away.

Rowen looked to the ceiling for a few seconds. "Okay, you want answers to get your mind off that?" Hannah nodded.

In the morning after breakfast Kento went to get the two. "Yo Rowen! Hannah!" He knocked on their door. "Breakfast was 10 minutes ago!" He knocked again. Then he opened the door and found the room empty. He looked around and found nothing telling of where they were.

"Maybe they're at the lake training. Hannah does it every morning." Cye said at the table.

"And you know Rowen's been training hard since he came back from Hokkaido." Sage pointed out.

They all heard laughing from the back yard. "Hey White Blaze." They heard Rowen. Everyone exchanged confused glances throughout the room. Then the door opened. Hannah quickly closed and locked the door before Rowen could get up the porch steps.

"Open up!" Rowen pounded on the door. Hannah laughed. "I ain't gonna pay for a new door!" Hannah then unlocked the door, but she held the knob. "Hannah!" She back off and let Rowen in.

"That was mean." Mia said from behind her.

"I used to do it to my brother all the time. He found the knob thing funny." Hannah said. Rowen flicked her head. "Ouch!"

"Funny and real mature." He said sarcastically.

"Hey, just because I lost doesn't mean you can treat me like before."

Cye spat into his coffee and coughed. "You sparred with Rowen? And lived?"

Hannah looked at Cye. "What?"

"They call me the Wind Devil." Rowen poured himself some coffee.

"So I found out." Hannah turned to the guys. "Have any of you beaten him?"

"For real? No." Ryo said. "I came real close though."

"Yeah, but you never look out for that head butt of his." Mia stated.

Hannah rubbed her head. "Thanx for reminding me."

As Hannah was lounging in her room she just turned to the window. She saw someone move. Hannah quickly opened the window and jumped to the ground. She looked around for the person and saw White Blaze heading into the woods.

Hannah followed White Blaze to a clearing somewhere in the forest. Only the tiger was nowhere around. Just an eight inch square box in the middle. 'This seems too easy. Why would I be led out here?'

There is no danger here. Hannah gasped. Date has delivered the family treasure as promised.

"Okay, how do I know this isn't a trick?"

The underbrush crunched softly as two creatures entered the clearing. It was Senai and White Blaze. Hannah felt better knowing that there were friends around. Only she couldn't completely shake the feeling that something was out of place. She approached the box and looked at the lock.

Mr. Date was right. The lock was liked nothing of Earth. Hannah saw a six-point star engraving on the top with a deeper circle in it. It looked about the same size as the diamond on her gold necklace.

"Well then, let's see." She took her golden triangle off and pushed the diamond. She gasped as her triangle became a six-point star. "How'd I know that?" She shrugged and placed the necklace in the groove.

White lines of light spread from the star. Hannah heard a bunch of clicks before the top popped slightly open. She looked to Senai and White Blaze. Senai nodded. Hannah opened the box slowly.

She gasped as she saw a dagger with a silver hilt in a gold sheath. Wrapped around the sheath under the finger guard was a long leather strap. It was very soft to the touch but it felt just as tough.

Senai and White Blaze smiled, in an evil way. "Very good, Light." Hannah looked at the two creatures. Their eyes were glowing pale green.
