Aki looked at the applesauce and scowled at it. She hated applesauce, royally hated it. Sesshoumaru walked back into the room with Rin who had a vase full of Fire Flowers.

"Nasty crud." Aki growled at the 'moving' applesauce.

"The faster you eat it, the less time you have to deal with looking at it." Sesshoumaru said. Aki was still scowling at the applesauce.

"Aki, you really should eat it, or we're going to force feed it to you." Ceci said. Aki growled and was STILL scowling at the applesauce.

"EAT IT ALREADY!" Sesshoumaru and Ceci exploded. Aki fell out of her bed and landed on her head.

"OW!" she yelped, she didn't only hurt her head, but she also hurt her stomach. "THAT HURT THANK YOU VERY FUCKING MUCH!" Aki growled as she got back into bed. Rin's eyes were wide.

"Aki, don't swear in front of little ears." Ceci said.

"So how do you like the flowers?" Rin asked.

"They're nice and warm as well." Aki said, she lit the flowers on fire and they grew to a much bigger size, the petals didn't let the fire go out, they let the fire burn on the petals making a wonderful smell of tea with honey, there was also a hint of spice in them. Soon Aki was out and Sesshoumaru, Rin and Ceci were soon to follow. After the smell was gone they all woke up, Sesshoumaru's head was in Aki's applesauce and Aki was biting her lip to keep from laughing, Ceci was rolling on the floor from her laughter and Rin was smiling and looking at the flowers, the petals seemed to be fine, they weren't burned or charred in anyway.

"WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Aki said as she finally burst out laughing, Sesshoumaru scowled and took a towel and cleaned his face off.

"You know, some times I get the feeling that she acts more childish than Rin." Sesshoumaru muttered.

"She is." Ceci said, along with another woman. Aki stopped laughing and looked over to the doorway. It was someone that Aki knew but didn't know.

"Who're you?" Aki asked.

"It's been over 500 years Aki." The woman said, Ceci and Sesshoumaru looked back and forth between Aki and the woman, Aki didn't like this person.

"And you are?" Aki asked again.

"I'm Rosaline." She answered, Aki's eyes widened, she knew that name but she didn't know from where. "I see you don't remember me, have you really forgotten when happened?"

"Leave." Aki growled in a voice that wasn't hers.

"Aki, what's going on?" Ceci asked. Aki didn't answer, it was like Sesshoumaru and every one else wasn't there, it was only her and the woman.

"Being so rude when we've only just met again, since 500 years have passed."

"Did you not hear me bitch? I said leave." Aki had no clue what was going on, it was like she was a prisoner in her own body. Then Aki realized she had reverted back to how she was before Naraku had recreated her.

"You know, Nyx, I've always hated the way you talk to me. Stop talking to me in that tone!" Rosaline growled, Aki's moth seemed to seal it's self but her eyes still said leave or I'm going to make you leave.

"Ceci, get Rin and get out of here, I'll follow behind, just go." Sesshoumaru said, Ceci nodded and grabbed Rin, then they walked out of the room. Sesshoumaru followed behind, since it wasn't his place to interfere with this conflict.

"I will not obey you." Nyx said. She stood and took a defensive stance while glaring at Rosaline. "You are the one who's going to obey someone. Now, turn around and leave or else I will use my remaining strength to kill you." Nyx growled. Aki watched the scene play out in front of her, through her own eyes.

"Oh, you're telling me what to do while I'm the one with the power?" Rosaline asked. Nyx smiled.

"Of course I am, you're the reason I died, after all. I was content to live my life after he had left but no, you decided that I didn't need to live and that while he was away at war you'd kill me and volunteer him to be next in line to be Death. Rosaline, go to hell where you belong!" Nyx growled, her eyes widened she Rosaline was rooted in place, Nyx smiled wickedly and walked over to Rosaline, she looked straight into her eyes. "Leave and don't come back, I'm living a new life as a new person and I do not wish to be drawn out again, understand?" Nyx asked, Rosaline nodded and left. Nyx walked back over to the bed and got in it.

This is going to be a problem, now that she's drawn into the picture it'll be much harder to keep myself out of Aki's life, she deserves to live life as she wants, not as a part of me, I must stay out and end this before she is to have a happy life. Once this wound heals I'll be gone after I explain everything to these people. Nyx thought. Then she brought Aki's consciousness to the surface. I'm sorry Aki.

For what? Aki asked.

For taking control of you, and that you have to be dragged into this, if things had gone as I wanted Death would have never come for you or anything. Nyx explained.

Well, I'm kinda glad it has, just promise me one thing. Aki said.

What?

That when you need help don't be afraid to ask me or Sesshoumaru for it.

Alright, just leave your powers unlocked, I'll use them when I need to since I'm not you, I have no mastery over your powers. Nyx said, she saw a mental picture of Aki nodding.

Oh, before this goes any futher, if you hurt Sesshoumaru in anyway I SWAER, I'll talk control over my body and make sure that you NEVER come out again, all in all, you'll be dead once again. Aki said.

You are on violent person.

Yes, I take pride in that, and remember, I will kill you. Aki growled. Nyx made Aki go back to sleep and just at that moment Sesshoumaru walked in.

"Aki?" he asked.

"No, it's Nyx at the moment. I have something to explain to you and your friends." Nyx answered. Sesshoumaru nodded and sat down, Ceci and Rin walked back in and stood behind Sesshoumaru.

"Start explaining," Sesshoumaru said coldly. Nyx nodded.

"Alright, 500 years ago I was a living breathing person, I fell in love with someone named Cole. He got drafted into a war and I said I'd wait until he came back and would never love another. Then Rosaline came into the picture, she's the person that chooses the person to take over the role of Death. In other words she's Death's Mistress. I'm guessing this part, she also loved Cole so she killed me, though she didn't dispose of my body, then she turned Cole into Death, it didn't take long, while he was in the underworld he found my soul and created my body again, he gave my soul to the body but I didn't wish to live again so I closed myself into a part of the mind, and Aki was created." Nyx explained. Sesshoumaru and Ceci listened intently while Rin was looking at the Fire Flowers curiously. "Rosaline found out about me being back and now she's decided to try and kill me again so that she can have Cole, or as you know him Death, to herself, she's ageless for time doesn't affect her. To condemn me and Aki she's decided to make us the new Death, we can't let that happen at all costs, Aki deserves to live out a life of her own, not to carry out what I should have done in the first place. She's made me promise not to hurt you, or else she will lock me away in the part of her mind that is mine and wont let me out. She has also told me that I am to ask you or her for help when I need it, she's given me use of her powers that I have no mastery over."

"It seems because you didn't want to live again all this started." Sesshoumaru muttered. "Because you are now in Aki's body I will help in anyway I can, but remember, that it is not only your body that you're in, it's also Aki's." Sesshoumaru advised in an ice-cold tone.

"I know." Nyx said grimly. "Believe me, if I could go back in time and do this all again I would, that way Aki can live the life that she deserves, not the life of finishing up what was started much before her time." Sesshoumaru stood and looked Nyx square in the eye.

"If anything happens that makes Aki die, you will have more to fear from me, than any one else." Sesshoumaru warned, his voice was as sharp as steel and it took all Nyx had to stop from shivering. His eyes showed nothing but despise for her, even though she had the features of Aki they were two completely different people and Sesshoumaru didn't like the idea of Aki having to share her body with any one, nor did he like the fact that his mark wasn't on Aki at the moment, it was on Nyx.

"So Aki's not going to be here for a while is she?" Ceci asked, Nyx shook her head. "Tell Aki that I'm going to learn to fight so that I can fight beside her when she needs me." Ceci said with her eyes full of determination.

"When's Aki going to come back?" Rin asked looking at Nyx with concerned eyes.

"I can't say for sure, this could take a while, but I hope that it doesn't take too long." Nyx said. Rin nodded and left the room with Ceci following, a single tear rolled down Nyx's face.

So this is what it's like to have real friends, it's been so long I've forgotten. It seems I've also forgotten what it feels like to be in love. Nyx added.

Well, it'll come back when you see Cole again. Aki said.

I thought you were sleeping.

I was though I couldn't sleep because I miss Sesshoumaru already.

This will be over soon enough.

It better be. Aki growled, then her voice faded and she was felt in silence. She didn't like it, she had been surrounded by nothing but darkness and it's silence for so long, over 400 years. Nyx looked around the room and her eyes stopped of the vase of Fire Flowers. She figured she should use this time to at least get a grip on using Aki's powers.

Aki, how do I use your powers? Nyx asked.

Focus on the palm of your hand and think of fire appearing there. Then look at what you want to catch fire and push the fire away from your hand. Aki explained. Nyx did as she was told and the pushed the fire to the flowers, they lighted and soon Nyx was asleep, Aki opened her eyes and looked around, she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote something for Sesshoumaru down. Soon enough she was falling asleep as well as Nyx, then every thing was black.

"There she is, in the flesh." Death said as he walked over to Nyx. "Nyx." He whispered, Nyx's eyes fluttered open. "I've missed you so." Nyx scowled.

"Why did you being me back? I didn't want to be brought back." Nyx said.

"I brought you back because you shouldn't have died that way. I'm sorry, it's my fault that you had to die in the first place." He said, his features were turning back into that of Cole's and not Death's.

"No, it wasn't. It was Rosaline's she loved you and she knew that you didn't love her in return, if it's anyone's fault it's hers. Now we must work together so that I can go back to being dead, that's where I belong, once I go back Aki and her friends will have to set out to clean up the mess we made." Nyx said. Cole nodded, then he did something that he had wanted to do for over 400 years, he bent down and kissed her. Aki came awake at once and started pounding at Nyx's mind.

HEY! HEY! MY BODY HERE! Aki yelled. Nyx pushed away from Cole.

"Don't you love me anymore?" he asked.

"Of course I do, it's just that I don't consider this my body since I share it with another." Nyx answered.

"That Aki person no doubt." Cole said scornfully, suddenly Nyx's face changed, now it was Aki talking.

"Hey hey hey! No kissing or whatever! I have a mate thank you!" Aki growled. "If you're going to say my name like that don't say it at all, get outta my room or else I'm gonna kick your ass!" Aki growled as her eye's flashed black.

"Stop I t and let Nyx come back, this is her body not yours!" Aki growled, and her hands were covered in black fire.

"You're lucky that I didn't kill you when I had the chance!" Aki hissed at him, then Nyx took back over.

"I had my chance to live, now it's her turn it's her body." Nyx said. Cole went back to being Death and lifted Nyx by her throat.

"It seems I made a mistake in bringing you back, it doesn't matter, you're going to die anyways. Let Aki come, I wish to fight her again, once she's healed a full out war will be against her, and her beloved Sesshoumaru, after all I am Death and my goal is to bring death to the world. Better yet, I'm taking your soul with me." Death put his hand up to her face and drew out her soul, now it was only Aki who had the body. "Remember that I will always be watching you and that war presses against you." Death bit her on the neck, just above Sesshoumaru's mark. "With that I will always know where you are we're connected now, until you figure out how to get rid of it." Death dropped Aki, she landed on her knees.

"Bastard!" Aki croaked out, her throat was dry and it hurt. Aki's vision slowly started to blur, the wound had started to bleed and it wasn't a nice feeling.

"Remember that once you're better I will kill you and give Nyx back her body, this was not intended, after all, you're nothing but a person who was created to do someone's dirty work." Aki growled, no matter what she did she couldn't get up, Death left, and was left sitting in a pool of her own blood.

"Damn him!" Aki growled, soon she lost consciousness and no one knew since they all thought that Aki was in her bed resting.
